IRS+State: son, you owe us half+ of what your father left you, or $1.1 Billion. If he borrows half of company's worth that's not going to be a healthy company anymore. So he sells it and selling is not always the best thing for employees.

That's not going to happen because those shares are going to be held by an immortal trust fund that never has to pay inheritance taxes. The trustafarian son will not have to borrow or sell a damn thing.

We were told we were important, that we could change the world and the future. We were raised on the remnants of 1960s morality, as if their conclusions were the greatest contributions to the human condition. As if the previous postmodern, sexual, material, and financial revolutions were so pure and infallible as if to be beyond reproach.

It wasn't. It was fuck-tier material kabuki theater sustaining the illusion of your importance.

You are Greek right? That kind of comparison of politics to soccer is something that many Greeks are accustomed to, hence my assertion.

Btw Varoufakis clearly states that this method was employed by the rest of Europe, not him. Feel free to call him a lier, but this directly contradicts his statement and so some proof is needed to substantiate your statement and provide more credibility to it than his.
As for all the means testing BS you continue to sling around. That went out the window with Obamacare. The only thing that matters now is a percentage of the Federal Poverty Level. It varies per State. In CA it's 138%, which means about $22K for an older couple who's kids have left the nest. Over ten million people have been shoved into Medicaid in CA (called Medical here) in 2016.

Checking income is a means test.

As for why I keep bringing up the age thing, it's because you keep making incorrect claims where it is a relevant factor and statements implying that receiving Medicaid benefits has grave financial consequences for all recipients (receiving the benefit doesn't even have grave financial consequences for the elderly; it just isn't very generous).
>In this case, it might be better to assume malice rather than incompetence. In the 1950's it was s/terrorist/communist/, but it was a remarkably effective political tool. We might be in the same situation.

Eh, communism was way more of a threat. People in extremely high positions were communist traitors (eg Harry Dexter White who negotiated Bretton Woods/the creation of IMF for the US, or Alger Hiss who was involved in the creation of the UN, or a gazillion people in the British intelligence services).

If the government today was filled with people loyal to ISIS or AQ, then you could draw such a parallel.

This aspect of BTC specifically makes me roar with laughter. The fact that anyone is willing to hope that Nakamoto's coins are "lost", discounting their very real value should he/she be sitting on that cash cow. What a great con on their part. You say trading of those coins will be noticed "immediately". The transaction log will cement that trade before (well, as) it's noticed. The only thing people will notice is the aftermath. Those who are personally monitoring the blockchain with automation will notify themselves within 5 minutes, while the public at large won't figure it out for hours. By the time the "BTC is now worthless" headlines hit the major news outlets, it will be too late for the average user to cash out.

It seems odd to sue the models when this kind of lawbreaking is so common - I'm reminded of Microsoft's influencer campaign that raised a stink among the YouTube audience a while back. While I absolutely believe that these models did wrong by not discussing the nature of the promotion, I'm left wondering if the only reason they are being litigated against is that they deceived the wealthy.

Another data point for the argument that the law is applied differently to protect different interests, I guess.

Unrelated, I'm glad Ratajkowski did the right thing here; always nice to see people you've heard of following a moral (or at least legal) path despite their peers.

This looks nice (and has many knowledgable people say so) and simple, so I don't want to come off as too much of a critic.

But, can I just say that I think the use of "real time" for an interactive color picker is a bit over the top?

I mean, what would the opposite be? You click a color, then one hour later you get an e-mail? Color picking in one shape or another has been done for 30+ years[1], and it has always been real-time, it's a basic interactive tool when working with computer images.

I realize it maps the color from a camera-fed image to a human-readable name (which perhaps wasn't always done in the past), but that's still not an operation I'd expect to have to wait for, not even when running on a mobile phone.

In short, I think those two words should be removed.

There is a certain irony that now it's possible to do optimisations like that in javascript - a dynamically typed language with almost no compile time guarantees.

Meanwhile java used to have easy static analysis as a design goal (and I think a lot of boilerplate is due to that goal) but the community relies so much on reflection, unsafe access, dynamic bytecode generation, bytecode parsing etc that such an optimisation would be almost impossible to get right.
Your comment is racist - and certainly unCanadian.

What on earth does someone's race have to do with the housing market? Why does a person of Chinese decent have any less of a right to a) live in Vancouver, b) buy a house, c) have some economic success, d) drive an Audi?

I'm sorry you're upset about the state of housing in Canada, I really am. Fortunately for you - most desirable cities in the Canada ( and the World ) have Chinese residents so you wouldn't be happy living there anyways - all those signs in Chinese, and the Audis! Oh the humanity!

Completely correct, but a default will mean a much tougher time borrowing in the future. So a bankruptcy now can solve the immediate problem, but this creates a tough situation for the future when debt is needed to finance large projects. What Texas has done was create a "rainy day fund" which is essentially a savings account designed to protect against these sorts of situations. But, that takes fiscal discipline and politicians who are unwilling to attempt to buy votes with money they don't have.

> I don't feel like it is fair that the company above would not be able to use React because Facebook infringed on a patent unrelated to React.

Again, keep in mind that in your example, the company still has a license to use React. What you're losing is your explicit grant of a license to the patents Facebook MAY have on the technology. But nobody has ever identified such a patent, and one of the core React devs is on record as saying he isn't aware of any either.
Saying that the only difference for these big projects is their license, seems quite a bit simplified.

How is the contribution process organized? How willing are the developers to incorporate foreign extensions?

There a quite a few factors that determine how such big projects work and at the end it's IMHO always the people involved that make the difference.

I would like to point out as an addendum that any laws that would harshly punish defaulting debtors would strike equally harsh towards the delinquent and the morally admirable down on his luck.

When considering seriously hard punishments, think for a while what if the person is actually in the situation from no fault of their own. Because, court often has a hard time doing any moral judgements and just looks at the cold facts.

Not paying your debts is immoral. Sure the risk is priced in but so is the risk of shoplifting in the prices you pay at stores. That doesn't mean that because the risk is priced in that it's somehow moral to shoplift.

Also the reason for default does have some bearing on morality -- a person that declares bankruptcy because of years of buying a new TV every year and going on expensive vacations is much different than a default due to factors outside of one's control (such as being laid off or suffering a medical catastrophe.)

Puerto Rico has, for years, knowingly overspent without much of a fiscal plan to pay debts. This issue isn't due to forces outside their control, but specifically because of decisions they consciously made. It is political malpractice and the people of Puerto Rico will now pay the price for generations. If that isn't immoral, then immoral has lost all meaning.

Would it be okay to mandate spy microphones in all cars, spy cameras in all rooms, and make it illegal to remove or disable them, as long as only the 'good guys', with a warrant, could access the info?

What if doing this would save N people/year from terrorist attacks?

What other rights should we sacrifice for a 'safer' society? Surely we shouldn't let terrorist recruit people, so there goes free speech. We also shouldn't let them gather together to plot their wicked plots, so there goes freedom of association. And if we could bar people at risk of committing terrorist acts, from vulnerable locations, such as subways, airports, parks with a lot of people in them, well, I'm sure that would save a few lives too.
>What terminal emulator problem will be solved that hasn't already been solved by urxvt, KiTTY, Serial, or any of the other Electron based terminals like Magnesium or Hyper?

Well if you clicked the link, you would see a number of original features, including html output support. And i don't think it's fair to say that modern javascript is the same language as the one Brandon Eich designed in 11 days.

But if you think that constitutes 'feedback' -- that wouldn't be my definition.

>If people don't want feedback, then they shouldn't post on HN.

Which is what i generally suggest people do -- not because they don't want feedback, but because most people would simply lose motivation when the majority of people react to the glimmer of the word 'electron' and don't bother to click the link or check out the features.

And you can replace 'electron' with anything really. If somebody writes something in Java, there is a good chance some people will react saying that the JVM is evil or how Java is a horrible enterprise language. If somebody writes something in PHP, they'll get the PHP is a horrible language. If somebody writes something in C, they'll get a 'C is too insecure'. If somebody writes an OS-X app or a Windows app, they'll get feedback about how they picked the wrong OS.

It's feedback in the same way that fat shaming a classical pianist would be feedback. If the same 'feedback' can apply to millions of projects without alteration or requiring any effort to establish whether it's applicable -- that is not feedback, that is just taking the piss on something.

I'd expect that currently, most criminal use of encryption is accidental. That is, everyone switched from SMS to whatsapp, criminals just did what everyone did.

>Make exactly one sale of an app per person, ever, regardless of the number of devices they own, how often the app has been updated since they last used it, and so on. This also teaches customers that they’re entitled to come back to a free app at any point in the future, no matter how long ago they paid for it.

And

>Ideally, make exactly one sale of an app per family. This reinforces the commodification of software; it’s to be shared around.

From a consumer perspective, I whole heartedly agree with author.

I own 3 devices, 1 is android and other 2 are Iphones. I never noticed how damaging this could be for developers to have their work sold for the price of one when most of the people use them on multiple devices.

Update part also makes sense, an application built 3 years ago has come a long way since then and have taken thousands of work hours for maintainance and updates.

I'm sorry. I don't think i phrased it well enough. I thought this project was quite interesting, because it has interesting new features -- things radically different from the alternatives. Whether those are good or bad ideas could be an interesting discussion.

Instead, it's a thread full of people who didn't actually check it out, but abuse the opportunity to repeat a knee-jerk reaction to electron. It's just feels like going to a concert and instead of people talking about whether they liked the music or not, they just default into fat shaming the singer or something to make themselves feel better about themselves.

>So the only feedback that is permissible is adulation?

I guess we differ on what constitutes 'feedback' -- i didn't see much in this thread that would qualify as such.
