> I would happily pay 80% taxes if I knew that when I needed it most the welfare state would have my back, but I know that it won't.

This crucial point of yours seems to have been missed by the author of the article. I wonder if that has something to do with them being from the UK, which has nationalized healthcare and some sort of a welfare state.

180% import tax?! I'm not sure how that's possible. Are they sure it's not 18%? Cars are an international market, aren't they? Aren't they bound by rules from the WTO and the EU?

With that kind of import tax, I can imagine people can only afford to buy EU-manufactured cars. I hope Tesla hurries up with that European factory.
Medical issues (maybe legal too) seem to be the game changer. Millions can go just like that, assuming you want the best available (and who doesn't for loved ones?)

Yeah.

There's a strata of poor to somewhat rich, but they're all in the same bucket of the grander wealth scale: workers. They must keep doing work in order to maintain their lifestyle, the only thing their relative income difference dictates is the quality of that lifestyle and how long they can maintain it after losing income.

After that comes 'i don't need to work again' wealthy. Then 'fuck you' wealthy. Then 'I can ignore the law' wealthy. Then 'I can buy the law' wealthy. The 99% sits on the lowest rung on the meaningful wealth scale.
I think it has more to do with the fact that remote work is discretionary.

This article seems to posit that most people who are in this top quintile haven't had to work incredibly hard for it, or that they have worked no harder than anyone else. From what I've seen the responsibilities I have for my salary are far greater and require a far greater amount of autonomy and personal responsibility for my work than most people making 30k/year.

If it's an import tax, it only applies to cars imported from outside the EU. I don't know if Denmark has any car factories, but there are plenty of affordable cars being produced in the EU.

Wait, he's arguing meritocracy exists, not that it doesn't exist.

You're probably a hard worker, and a capable one, but how many people were born without the proper brain power to be able to do IT? Or was not lucky enough to go to the proper school? Or was unlucky enough to have a father who'd rather gamble and drink rather than feed his kids properly. When you see a homeless or jobless person of your own age and think "Lazy bum, we're the same, why can't he be a successful guy in IT?", you're dismissing the good luck you've had in life, and the bad luck that person has suffered, and that's meritocracy...
Consider my friend who did as he was told but sadly in his case that was to become one of the very best dancers in his time. Dancing doesn't pay. He now works 10 hour shifts as a Chef and just about gets by to provide for his family.
Conversely I put an equal amount of effort in teaching myself how to code and can pull in over four times the salary he earns with slightly less effort and when I get home my body doesn't feel fatigued.
So "hahahahaha", he chose wrong and I chose right? Right? I was just lucky that the money coincided with my interest in tech.

Damn straight I feel guilty and what makes me mad is when people claim its about effort and hard work. Sure that's definitely part of the equasion but you can work twice as hard and put in twice as much effort and it doesn't mean a damn if you didn't back the "right" industry horse. Save a thought for those that chose different yet still totally as valid fields like nursing or teaching and appreciate the benefit that tech has "unfairly" brought you.
Next time you're up late and working super hard just remember you're not literally cleaning up shit and piss for 1/4 of the money.
The tax on cars is largely for environmental/societal reasons. Pollution is an expensive, damaging externality for society largely caused by cars; the infrastructure for a car culture is VERY expensive to maintain; car-dependent cities are less attractive to live in.

A single-digit sales tax or registration fee does not cover these costs to society caused by car owners. Therefore, these costs must be covered by the general fund: from income, payroll, and business taxes. These all apply equally whether or not you own a car, so if you don't buy a car, you're still paying for the environmental cost of having one but not getting the benefits.

Denmark has done a smart thing by placing high taxes on cars. Reasonable taxation policy helps make this decision more rational. The flat tax usually makes sense because cheap cars are likely to be low-powered sub-compacts, which have a smaller impact, while expensive luxury cars are more likely to be high-powered, heavy, large vehicles.

But EVs (and hybrids, to a lesser extent) break this model. They are expensive, but environmentally friendly. It makes sense to encourage their adoption through tax breaks. That is not a shift of wealth from the poor to the rich, it's an intelligent exception in a model intended to shift costs away from all of society to the source of those costs.
pretending you're not rich is called SAVING UP
You're pulling that quote out of context there, the previous paragraph grounds the statement into something entirely different than attacking the precariat:

> Beneath a veneer of classlessness, the American class reproduction machine operates with ruthless efficiency. In particular, the upper middle class is solidifying. This favored fifth at the top of the income distribution, with an average annual household income of $200,000, has been separating from the 80 percent below. Collectively, this top fifth has seen a $4 trillion-plus increase in pretax income since 1979, compared to just over $3 trillion for everyone else. Some of those gains went to the top 1 percent. But most went to the 19 percent just beneath them.

Nothing about what you state goes against the spirit of the article, which between the lines mainly seems to be about wealth redistribution.

Also, while I agree with all of your points, putting yourself in the same boat as the precariat, the most vulnerable underbelly of modern society, is a bit crass.
To clarify for anyone who isn't convinced:

Not dying should be the first on that list, for obvious reasons, and becoming multi-planetary reduces the chance of (all the) humans dying exponentially for each planet colonized.

Freedom is a good thing, even if it comes at the price of some risk, no matter what the context.

That's a shallow quote, though. You're right, on the face of it – freedom is a good thing. But we accept compromises on absolute, unbridled freedom all the time, in order to trade of some other desirable outcome.

I would be concerned if computers generally were locked-down. But they aren't – competitors to iPhones are freely available, and desktop & laptop computers are ubiquitous. I will continue to oppose restraints on what can be done with them, but the freedom to choose a curated garden is also a freedom that should be respected.
Freedom is a trade off, like everything else. For example, more freedom means more responsibility. Also, if everyone is perfectly free, then we're all forced to accommodate the least worthy among us. It's all trade offs all the way down.

The problem isn't people not saving or investing the problem is an insane system kept afloat by greed, ignorance and fear. "Security"? what good is having paper when no one wants to buy it? October 29, 1929 is a day my grandmother remembers well and one I dread we will see again.

...as would your utility to the society. It's understandable, from basic moral instinct, that society would continue to provide you with basic food and shelter, would such a thing happen. But why on Earth would I, for example, be compelled to continue pay you your former salary (since we're on HN, I'd assume you're on senior software engineer level) after you can no longer provide the relevant service?
Only developers without Android experience think that.

Android is all about Java.

The NDK is there as layer for implementing Java native methods, games and high performance audio, and general purpose native libraries from other OSes.

This is what you are allowed to call from C and C++ on Android:

https://developer.android.com/ndk/reference/index.html

https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/stable_apis.html

Trying to call anything else terminates the application as of Android 7.

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/nougat/android-...

As of the upcoming Android 8, calling syscalls outside of what libc requires leads to application termination as well.

Basically nothing really UNIX specific and could be implemented with any other kind of kernel (hence Fuchsia).

There is that bottom-line terror every time a dev thinks about writing an app for iOS: will Apple allow this app to exist? To me, this is a horrible and limiting thing to have to even consider and the reason that in the long run Apple will have to give this idea up or see their platform slowly fade over time.

I'm not convinced. We all know the rules: "Don't take the piss".
> Do programmers and sysadmins feel like getting the job and six-figure salary was from luck or the result of a rigged system?

I'm white and male and relatively young still, so to some extent, yes, it is rigged in my favor.
Articles like this ramp up my paranoia, especially since I got a phone call from the UK three days ago. Nobody on the other end. Hung up after saying hello three times. Never heard back since. It has me worried, especially since I just came back from my holidays (not in the UK).
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way - with a few exceptions, like SMS and phone cal handling, you can write an app to do anything on the iPhone if you're so inclined. There are always going to be the Power Users who want more out of the system but won't code, but my experience with my iPhone has been that if I ever ran up against a wall I wanted changed, I could write an app to do so, even if I didn't publish to the store.
"The best available" goes far beyond the point of diminishing returns. If you're willing to settle for merely 'top tier', you'd spend a small fraction of the amount for essentially the same level of care. And that's even in a place with medical costs as insane as the U.S.

Anyway, there's no such thing as perfectly impervious to risk - even ultra-wealthy families sometimes topple. That doesn't change the fact that with careful management, a $300k/year income can rapidly feather a rather nice, rather secure nest. $30k/year cannot.
So they bought an oversized office space, provisioned it like a warehouse, in a location that is horribly expensive to live near or get to. Are they surprised employees would rather not go there?
> I think there is still some duty to a website creator to consider what else people might want to use it for.

Am I the only person baffled by this? Does the world now revolve around every passer-by?

Why is the creator's duty to do anything other than satisfy his own artistic urge? Why does what someone else wants to do with his art matter? He kindly provides access, he isn't forcing anyone to view it. Where do you draw the line on what concessions he should make for someone else? What sort of absurd concessions might someone demand?

What you want sounds like a cascade of chilling effects, self-censorship, and second-guessing.

Also it's odd that you think a bare ass is not appropriate for for high school. How long do you imagine the psychological scarring from that might afflict them? At what age do you think it is appropriate to set foot in an art museum?

Bizarre.

An iPhone 4 isn't perfectly functional. It's an outdated device that is no longer getting security updates and as such should not be used on the open web.

If my employer weren't providing me with a proper monitor, as appears to be the case in these pictures, then I wouldn't be coming into the office either.

(Actually, if my employer weren't providing me with a proper monitor, I'd be refusing to work on the grounds of the occupational health and safety risks of working primarily from a laptop for an extended period of time.)
Agreed. And it's interesting how many people think this is a good thing.
Where is that 180% taxation on EVs? In Denmark?
I doubt carrier concerns were the motivation for the Apple iPhone App Store - they'd have mandated some kind of AT&T and Sprint App Store (with $2 ring-tone and wallpaper downloads...). Besides, Windows Mobile, Nokia and Blackberry all had their own respective ecosystems long before Apple - I say this as a user of PocketGear since 2001.

I hate to say it, but Apple is right: the use-cases for truly unlocked computing on constrained mobile devices are very limited and, given our experience with the Windows tech support scammers a massive liability for everyone: if non-expert users have any access to a button on their phone that will drain their bank accounts, no matter how clearly labelled, then there will be rampant attacks to make them press it; the only solution, therefore, is to make it completely impossible to both run unsigned code, and for code to execute outside of a sandbox.

In the early days of iOS - there was a much stronger justification for jailbreaking because iOS was just so aneamic - useful features like a Widget Dashboards or "Today" summary screen, data tethering, and ad-blocking were all conspicuously absent. But now we've got them and since iOS 8 or 9, it's been perfect for me.
> Is "non-shared environment" basically the "everything else" category after genetics and shared environment have been controlled for?

Yes. For instance, in a study of childhood development, "shared environment" is the things that can plausibly be controlled since they are inflicted on all children in a family (e.g., household income, or frequency of family dinners), and "non-shared environment" is the "other" category that captures the infinite number of uncontrolled influences that different children within the family experience differently (e.g., having a scary fall down the stairs).
On $300k a year, either you're not really precarious or you're making utterly reckless financial decisions.

You can comfortably afford the best available health insurance. You can comfortably afford very good life insurance and income protection insurance. You can comfortably afford to save a substantial amount for emergencies and retirement.

You're in a completely different situation from someone on $30k a year, who is undoubtedly living paycheck-to-paycheck. For you, a broken boiler or a major engine repair is a near-trivial expense. For someone on $30k, that same expense might put them into debt for months or years. If the mailman brings you an unexpected utility bill or parking ticket, you're not faced with the choice of skipping meals or going into debt.
Yes. But this is VERY risky.

While you could go on about the technicalities of what kind of memory is being represented here, IMO the main reason they called it "RAM" is because it's a term that is known to a layperson; so it immediately rings a bell.
No one says you need to invest it in the stock market though. There are plenty of assets one can acquire, that are not directly connected to the stock market. Use some debt to acquire them, and good returns can be made, even in small(er) deals.
I use the two side by side. At times I've found Designer's SVG support actually worked better than Illustrator. Illustrator is definitely faster but there are quite a number of useful pixel/recolouring features in Designer. Generally though the maturity and advanced features (mesh, isolate edit, Pathfinder!) eclipse what Designer brings to the table.

I was a long time Fireworks holdout, and Designer is maybe the closest in feel compared to Sketch or Illustrator (and they're copying each other better now).

All said, the bang for buck is great though, and UI is way easier than Inkscape I gotta say ;)
I believe the 180% used to be the highest band of a registration tax (now 150%) that has nothing to do with imports. Apart from that there is a much lower import duty for cars from outside the EU (10%?), which has to be in agreement with WTO rules (and other trade agreements).

Yes it is. I looked at SH before writing Sultan. I was not very crazy about the syntax. I wanted the code to be easy to read, because one of my primary goals was the code maintainability, and that requires the code to be as readable as possible.
