fix the tax rate once and for all

Do you mean fix as in "repair" or as in "hold in place"? This usage is ambiguous.

The ruling class already, by definition, determines the taxation amounts. Society is surviving like this. Your assertions to the contrary are false. QED.

I do agree that taxes cannot be part of morality. I think it is crucial to differentiate between tax evaders who are breaking the law and tax avoiders who use legal means to reduce their tax liability.

Right. Progressive tax rates don't do what they're supposed to do, because of loop holes, and the fact that the very wealthy can afford accountants.

Oh no, I'm their target customer. Like I said, I signed up for the beta and I'll happily be paying what it costs. But if you think about this as the "metrics" extension of Stripe (which, as mentioned in a separate thread, was a bit of a missing piece to their offering), the way it's priced is very surprising.
The sun is the most massive local object in the solar system, by a very large margin, but does not pull in all other things. Or, well, it does pull, obviously, but it turns out that objects under gravity end up on Keplerian orbits if they have sideways velocity to begin with.
Lifting (free weights) has done more for my life than I could have ever imagined.

I was always the guy who thought only frat bros, meat heads, and convicts spent time lifting. I was dead wrong.

I've been lifting consistently for just over a year now, and while the physical changes are great, the mental changes are immense. I sleep better, hold on to anger less, am more focused, and have MORE energy. But the biggest lesson I've learned is how to fail consistently. I am at a point where I am failing a lift almost every week, but still make progress. This lesson has carried over into every avenue of my life.

I would encourage everyone (male and female) to at least try two weeks of starting strength or SL5x5. It takes 3 hours a week and the benefits show within the first few gym days. If you are an active person already but haven't tried lifting, try it. You won't get "too bulky" from picking up weights 3 times a week. Most people train HARD 5-7 days per week to achieve body-builder status, and it's not something you can get accidentally.
> People need to read this and get it through their head - progressive tax rates don't work because the truly wealthy can afford to hire accountants to avoid tax to a huge degree. It disproportionately effects the middle class.

Progressive tax rates on non-capital income, with additional flat taxes on specifically labor income, and lower (but still progressive) rates on capital income hit both low-income workers (because of payroll tax, which bites them hardest due to declining marginal utility) and high-income workers (the part of the middle class that isn't "small business owners") hardest even before considering tax avoidance.

A progressive tax on all income without special tax favor for capital and special tax penalty for labor would go a long way toward making things better, even with the possibility of the rich spending some of their money on less rich accountants to avoid some of their tax burden.

Avoidance is a much smaller problem than the system being designed to favor the way the ultra-rich earn income from square one.
The developer loaded the hard-coded data to evade detection and the PM oversaw the process where the data was validated against the government's test harness for Meaningful Use.

Ask HN: Where do just-graduated Computer Science Peeps hang out Online?
Growing up in India, I used to hang out on https://slashdot.org/ and http://www.kuro5hin.org/ all the time. Helped me a lot with my career path, finding work etc.

I recently shipped an MVP for (Work) Visa Sponsored Jobs that I hope will help just-graduated peeps at various Universities find a Job that will sponsor their Visa in various countries around the World.

I would like to "meet" them where they hang out, and try and get feedback on the site and what I can do to improve it for them. At the same time, I don't want to come off as spammy / aggressive as that's not my intention.

( Wasn't raised in the United States, so I have no idea where such peeps hang out. )
SEEKING WORK - remote, short to medium term projects - zak.wilson@gmail.com
I make software - mostly full-stack web development and HTTP APIs, but I'm adaptable. I have some interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I have a little experience making Android apps, and my open-source Android app Ceilingbounce has happy users.

I can do stuff that's harder than basic CRUD apps. Stuff I know well: Clojure, Ruby (with or without Rails), Python, Django, Javascript, Lua, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SASS, responsive CSS.

Other stuff I've used for something non-trivial at least once: Common Lisp, Scheme, Java, SASS, C, PHP, Haskell, Bash, Perl, MongoDB, Mirah, Android development with Clojure. Yes, I can probably pick up that language or tool you're using that nobody has ever heard of.

Either the correlation of Germany's political institutions to Silicon Valley is so obvious it needs no further elaboration or this is sloppy journalism.

Aside from this statement I can't derive the intent of the author's analogy.

"When it comes to politics and political institutions, Germany’s record since the end of World War II as an innovator is virtually without parallel, akin to the role of Silicon Valley in tech.... If Germany will now be more proactive in NATO, and ponder what kind of innovation might be required to save the day, that sounds to me like Silicon Valley working on a new tech product."

Sounds like to me the author tried to stitch together some clickbaity concepts: Germany/Innovation/SV.

We're a life sciences software startup building a data platform which integrates complex scientific and clinical data to enable therapeutics for disease.

Neurologic conditions affect one in six people worldwide. We want to improve their lives. We're a driven, curious group wielding data science and building software that meaningfully impacts humans. Our mission is bold, our team is experienced, and our product is ambitious. We're looking for engineers and data scientists to help us bring it to life.

We love individuals who are curious about domains outside of the ones we normally operate in, enjoy polyglot codebases, consider themselves a generalist, and desire to work on products that make a positive, meaningful impact. The bar for software in this field is, unfortunately, low. We want to change that in a massive way.

Today our stack includes the following (it's constantly evolving, we're right tool for the job people):

* Languages: Scala, Python, Javascript

* Frameworks: Scalatra, Akka, Flask, Polymer, D3

* Datastores: Redis, Postgres (RDS), Hbase, Kinesis

* Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Docker

* Domains: Scientific Research (Neuroscience, Genomics, Imaging), Clinical Research, Healthcare Informatics

We're well funded and have excellent traction on a number of significant partnerships. The product team is a great crew, pragmatic, super bright, without egos, and passionate about our work. Our code is well tested and structured.

The linked report is also more comprehensive than the summary, including the points that:
(i) the next Iranian government and Iranian press strongly believe that it did cause massive reductions in labour supply in certain suggestions including citing a paper claiming a loss of 500,000-700,000 agricultural workers[2]
(ii) the context of the poorer people not dropping out of work was a period of enormous inflation (caused in part by US sanctions) and the removal of enormous food and fuel subsidies which the program replaced and
(iii) this measures very short term impacts (prior to the program launch and within the first three months): against the backdrop of rising prices and brand new US sanctions it's perhaps particularly unlikely that many poorer workers would rush to quite their jobs, even if it were to produce such an effect in the longer term in times of greater economic security
(iv) it's actually specifically focusing whether people were more likely to quit their jobs than people who didn't get the subsidy for the first three months due to paperwork problems rather than whether employment didn't fall overall; the paper correctly points out that in an economy with wide access to cheap credit (not Iran) the orthodox economic view would actually expect those receiving subsidies now and those expecting to receive them asap to respond by reducing willingness to supply labour by similar amounts
(v) there was a perfectly good reason for them doing the study that way because Iranian labour force trends are all over the place

TLDR: the actual study doesn't tell us very much through no fault of the authors, because a lot of other shocks were happening to the economy at the time. Which is a shame, because it was a huge new program in a middle income country that didn't involve outside capital, which would have made it much better evidence of a UBI's expected effects than most studies carried out.

>But is there any coherent explanation for why bitcoin should be priced at 2500 dollars rather than 2.5 dollars? or 2.5 cents?

Are you similarly skeptical about the price of gold? There is a universal need for a store of value which is not only insulated from global financial markets, but also a hedge against them. Due to mathematically certain scarcity and decentralized resistance to manipulation, crypto fulfils that need better than gold. Assuming that gold is priced primarily to fulfill this same market need, and that no gold is ever mined again, a bitcoin should be valued at $377,000.
There's also another result: negative!

You could owe taxes on money you never saw. Under the AMT rules, if you exercise options at a discounted price, you have to consider the discount as "income". If several years later, when you're ready to sell and the stock is below what you paid for it, you'll still owe the taxes on your discounted price.

Ask your tax person for the details before engaging in any stock option purchase.

I think the only way anyone could argue there are any pros is if they could convince me that Trump has a different long-term plan to address climate change. Unfortunately, all of his actions up to this point indicate that he doesn't have any such plan. I really wish people would stop trying to understand and rationalize this man's actions. He has no rational for what he does other than his own short-lived whims and the general selfishness and narcissism that underlies his world view.
No, not really. If it stays like this for 20+ years, then definitely.

There's a string of submissions critical of Facebook on HN recently. I agree and approve.

But one thing interests me: doesn't Facebook have something like that, but in reverse ? I mean updates along the lines "We need more Facebook", "Open internet is for nerds", "Why more websites need to migrate to Facebook"... ? Unless you have a Facebook account, you don't know what's going on on the other side of the barricade.

One puzzling fact - stars on github:
jquery/jquery - 45k,
angular/angular - 25k,
facebook/react - 68k,
twbs/bootstrap - 111k,

On my local job market (I live in a 500k city), react is the least popular JS framework. I keep seeing jquery and especially angular over and over. Meanwhile react, the facebookiest of JS frameworks, shows up least frequently. Yet React is the most popular JS framework and by a large margin! I suspect it's because job offers with 'react' are mostly circulated via facebook. I also see very little job offers with the 'facebook' keyword - mostly for non-technical people, like marketing, salesmen, assistants, various misc jobs.

Hypothesis: we, outside Facebook, live in our own filter bubble. We don't get the whole picture.
Unfortunately it does happen. One of my coworker's mothers writes a food blog and he asked if she could follow me because she likes my photos.

Good for her for getting money, I guess, but I don't want any of that.

There is a hidden assumption in this argument that there must be a "ruling class". That means you assume that democracy is literally impossible - that it is impossible for everyone to have equal votes and thereby protect their interests. That's not a small assumption!

What's to stop someone else from saying "actually instead of the ruling class, taxes will be set by whoever is the absolute dictator." Well, that assumes there is one. What justifies that assumption? Assuming there must be a ruling class is equally mistaken, in my opinion. There simply isn't one. Everyone votes, rather than some "class".
It was a bit disingenuous for Trump to describe India and China as top polluters

India (population 1.3 Billion) creates lesser CO2 emissions than the US

China's per-capita emissions is just around half of that of the US

[Edit: replying to comment about pollution and emissions

The Paris agreement is about climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

When Trump talks about polluters and withdrawing from the Paris agreement, it seems illogical to suggest that he wasn't referring to CO2 emissions]
