" (which is the core conservative stance.)"

Except that it isn't. People conflate all sorts of ideas about particular issues with the larger overarching political ideology. It's entirely possible to be conservative, be pro-gay marriage, pro abortion, pro legalization of marijuana, etc. There are some specific issues which the conservative ideology does fall squarely on, such as a resounding no to universal healthcare, but these are few and far between.

The conservative ideology in the most simplistic terms is "a smaller central government with less power is a better government". Modern conservative and liberal ideologies are nothing more than an extension of federalism and anti-federalism from the founding of the nation. Conflating this ideology with some of the worst people who claim it is unfair and divisive without cause or care.

This, in fact, is the exact thing the person you're responding to is pointing out. You are claiming conservative = "a belief in punitive actions against marginalized members of society" (paraphrasing you slightly for clarity). This simply isn't true, by any measure. It's a nice rhetorical soundbite to raise the ire of your political fellows as a clarion call, but it's not factually accurate and espousing this viewpoint about conservatives normalizes and encourages the type of political divisiveness we are seeing today.

Fun story, if we go by the last 5 years (honestly if we go by the last 100 years, but that's a deeper discussion about ideology shifts related to specific key issues) the majority of political violence occurring in the US is being done in the name of liberal ideologies, with much irony I presume. This very position you are putting forth is actually rather anti-liberal, but it's not conservative either. As a shock to all, there are more than two sides to a cube.
I hate to call Godwin's law on this, but this argument is descending in that direction.

And keep in mind, all the people who profited off that war: IBM who made the punch cards to track those interned, Ford motors who built the rail tracks for concentration camps, Ford himself who had his employees hand out anti-semetic propaganda, Prescot Bush/American Standard Oil who sold oil to both sides .. all these companies funded and benefited greatly from the results of that conflict.

By focusing on the Nazis you ignore the fact that wars needs funding. Few of those who funded and profited from that conflict were ever held accountable.

Modern neo-Nazis are the modern boogieman. They make us afraid, but unless they are funded, their reach is quite limited. They are loud, but easily ignored. Those who give them a voice, news and media outlets, do so to profit from the readership.
How about an actual nuclear plant not some futuristic idea.
Which version of make do you use? The one packaged in the 'heirloom' setup, or something different that's still available?
> The geodesic dome is brilliant in how it minimizes the amount of materials needed to enclose a given space.

Except sheet material is sold in rectangles, so you end up with a huge pile of offcuts.

As a child I was entranced by geodesic domes in the late 1970s (part of the hangover of the utopian back-to-the-land movement), and I read up on them extensively over the following decades.

I've also done a bit of construction.

Domes are wildly impractical for almost every purpose.

Yes, the hold more volume per surface area. That's great for a liquified natural gas tank. It's not so good for humans who live on flat surfaces.

They are very hard to plumb and wire.

They generate tons of waste.

They are hard to maintain.

Roofs and walls have different purposes (structural support vs shedding preciptation) and different materials are best for each.

The list goes on.

I could write a 500 page book on why domes are almost always the wrong answer, but the shortest proof I have is: if they were so great, they would have caught on.
As a theoretical coworker of yours, my reaction would depend a lot on which vote you were talking about.

In 00 I thought Bush voters were just sort of clods, hopelessly partisans with a poor understanding of the dangers of nepotism and monarchy. (I thought the same about Clinton voters in 08 and much of 16, to be fair)

In 04, Bush voters were supporting a guy who responded to the 9/11 attacks by invading _the wrong country_ (secular Hussein working with bin Ladin? honestly), and okaying the torture of human beings for information. You can’t chalk this up to “some people like chocolate, others vanilla,” Abu Ghraib doesn’t fit under a comfy blanket.

If you had admitted voting for his re-election to me at lunch I would have gotten up and left the table without saying a word.

((Not that it matters, but I grew up in Montana, I understand conservatives and conservativism))
If we stop punishing companies when they have a bad quarter, this probably would not be happening.
I don't agree with those policies, but can you imagine any non-evil reason a rational person would hold those beliefs?
Apple was listed in some of the snowden docs right beside everyone else.
I wrote several replies and deleted them all. I honestly don't know how to answer.

Large farms grow commodity crops that are entirely diff from small farms diverse crops. They are like two diff animals.

Example: there is a lettuce thinning robot in the market. It sprays concentrated fertilizer at regular intervals in rows where seeds are direct down.

In smaller farms we would plant greenhouse grown baby lettuce starts and not direct sow. Too much wastage and labour to direct sow. Weed thinning bot is overkill.
A large airline by its nature will provide services to individuals around the world. It is a clear candidate for the GDPR to apply to it in respect of those activities as a result.

The scope of GDPR extends to entities providing services to individuals in the European Union so is not limited solely to citizens. Additionally, if an EU citizen is in the US and uses a US service provider's services, then that US service provider is not within the scope of the GDPR.

The legal disclaimer on the Verizon Up specifically states that the offer is only available to US residents.

On that basis I would say that Verizon, in relation to this specific programme, does not appear subject to the GDPR.

I don't know about the full extent of their services however so may be subject to GDPR if they satisfy the Art 3 GDPR requirements (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-3-gdpr/).
Its not bigotry. Its demography. Bigotry would be me, upon hearing someone is a welder, asking them why they voted for Trump. Demography is the realization that welders work nationwide, multitudes in rural areas, multitudes in traditionally conservative industries such as oil and gas, and therefore a person is much more likely to find people who share political culture than in an industry that is clustered in major coastal cities.
See, now you're just being a troll. The person you replied to gave you a well reasoned response and you're being flippant in return. This is not the level of discourse I'd hope to see on HN.
A progressive sales would be very difficult to implement and maintain. Virtually every good / service would need to have a tax associated with it. How much do you tax a Honda Civic vs an Acura RSX? A BMW? Bentley? How much do you tax a 33ft yacht? A 60ft yacht? This thing would also need to be updated very often as new technology comes out. Think about Apple Watches, VR headsets, etc. You'd need a small army of tax lawyers to come up with and enforce this tax code.
Agreed, a quick-start example at the top would be both helpful and engaging.
seems like this would be at least a better start:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/karstenstrauss/2017/02/08/the-5...
It probably would have been better worded as "Work to live, but don't live to work. Don't make your job your whole life."

"Get a life" has always at least had a negative undercurrent, and is often an overt insult implying that one's entire lifestyle is unworthy, and inferior to mainstream lifestyles.
Is writing docstrings with argument types a thing in Python? If so, wouldn't these developers benefit from using actual type annotations (or a language with static types)? This is one area where types actually help a great deal with rapid prototyping!

Also, I disagree with the Scala examples and the argument against brevity, but I guess this is the stuff of flamewars. Not only do I not find his more verbose examples any clearer, they also lack context: presumably the full snippet looks like this:

allClothesCount.sortBy(-_._2)

in which case any additional variable names don't help, and brevity makes the snippet clearer.
This 100%. I have read postmortems of some "significant discoveries" which have turned out to only be reproducible on a particular build or software on a single analyst's machine. Or not at all. One "result" turned out to hinge on the iteration order of python dictionaries.

And this definitely didn't happen after those working on tools to help said analysts make reproducible results encouraged the analysts to use said tools... No, that would be crazy.

> the high taxation on the upper income brackets encouraged companies to offer perks and benefits that would not be classified as income, and the wealthy would take advantage of these instead

An interesting anecdote on this is in the origin of American private health insurance. It came about from war-era wage freezes. Companies wanted to differentiate, were barred from doing so with price, and so shifted to benefits [1].

Beyond the lesson that is taught here, am I the only one who thinks 30 minutes isn’t far at all? I drive an hour to work each way and I don’t complain about it. I’m more worried for the influence that kind of thinking impacts a child than I am about a stay at home parent complaining of having to leave their house.
Google also is trying to wipe out any reference they can to youtube downloaders. The publisher's Adsense account may get suspended/terminated if they link to (or mention!) any well-known youtube downloaders.
I agree. My point is that when reason and instinct collide, instinct wins most of time.

> use Youtube to publicly and 'freely' distribute music to your computer (along with ads), but also completely control what your computer is allowed to do with the music

And how is it radically different from a restrictive open source license? You can say the same about software engineers, how post their code publicly and 'freely', but also control what you do with that code.
Heh, that actually sounds like a fun thing to implement. But no, as of yet it can’t.

And when I think about having to adhere to my "as few dependencies as possible" standards, which basically means I’d have to implement a bunch of image file parsing, I think I’d rather not. I just saw imgcat uses CImg for that, which seems like a smart move.

This would so fly (pun intended) in the LA metro area. There are tons of rich people who would pay for 20 minutes from e.g. Santa Monica to Irvine when the drive can easily be two hours around rush hour.
It's already there. IPFS. Just need a way to index it. There's Ethereum. Tezos could potentially do it cheaper.
> It seems to me little wonder that everyone of import chooses the latter.

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--because I was not a Socialist" and so forth. And no, the irony is not lost on me.

Systems-minded people not blinded by ideology have natural sympathies to those causes, because the same mechanisms used to justify punching Nazis and kicking fascists off the internet can just as easily be turned against things that we care about.
I wonder if you could take a middle step, and host a community-run server for youtube-dl itself; run YouTube-mp3 on an anonymous and decentralized server. Perhaps Ethereum is the right technology for this.

Would something like that be possible with Ethereum or otherwise blockchains in general?
I can't believe we're suddenly having a moral crisis about business cultural politics... over the fact that a guy was fired for arguing in part that historically discriminated-against groups are underrepresented because of biological unfitness.

Political business monocultures have been a thing since forever. Dial the clock back a little and you have bosses pressuring you to campaign for Nixon. Dial it forward again and you have CEOs starting meetings with prayer. Dial it forward to today where one dude gets fired for arguing Nazi race science, and suddenly we all have to chat.

This would be an ideal world:

> What if you make the rules so simple that there are NO loopholes and there is no/little possibility for tax avoidance?

Then we could lower tax "rates", reduce dead weight loss, and increase tax receipts.

But no, we've decided, for example, that home ownership is important for everyone so we subsidize home ownership by letting people write off mortgage interest. This has the unintended effect of driving up prices for homes and encouraging people to buy more home than they need.

When taxes are too high, it causes pathological behavior.

Some people will, even if it nets them less after taxes, minimize taxes paid. "Tax shelters" in the 80's would be all but guaranteed to lose money, and yet people would still buy into them because they would reduce their taxes and pay huge fees based on the total taxes that would be reduced. These arrangements were legal (although the IRS was hawkish on them) but actually made no business sense for investors.
Unless I'm mistaken, Hatch is only 3.5+, but contains a command line option to specify if a project is 2 compatible.
What the article fails to mention is that, when top marginal rate was 91%, there were an infinite number of deductions that you could take. Any expense that was even-slightly business-related was booked as a personal expense and deducted.

I recognize that the majority of people on HN are progressives. So, I encourage you to think beyond your personal prejudices and recognize that our tax code stifles productivity and innovation. It's neither moral nor appropriate to work the 6 months of every year to pay the government, just to have the privilege of working the last 6 months of the year to try to pay your bills. Frankly, it's insane.

A flat tax is moral and would eliminate all of the monkey business (read: wasted productivity) that takes place, relative to tax planning.
You don't believe me, huh.

Politicians that aim for a balanced budget without raising taxes = murderers is an exceptionally common refrain from the extreme end of the British left. It's hard to engage with their arguments because I don't share their basic axioms, namely, that they tend to assume there are no tradeoffs in life, and in particular, they tend to assume that tax revenues can be set to more or less any level without any negative side effects.

Of course, if you argued that the Guardian is no longer really representative of mainstream left-wing opinion in the UK I'd support you on that, but I pointed out the extremism of the Guardian on HN a week or so ago and got downvoted a lot ... lots of Guardian readers here I think!
One big takeaway from the article is how easy Algorithmia makes Data Scientists and Teams in productionising Data Science Models which is still a bigger challenge with DevOps and Data Engineers scratching their heads with the model output from Data Scientists.
First, I think part of the problem is that many people assume that any disagreement is equivalent to total disagreement. That is, if you don't agree with me on arbitrary position X, you must not agree with me that we shouldn't feed babies to hippos for sport either. Vocally disagreeing with Nazis is fine. Spiraling toward "people who disagree are Nazis" isn't.

Second, I work in tax policy. There is absolutely hate between many people who disagree on taxation.
Nyah, they still have a singular mission to make money for their shareholders.

But, if we started rewarding companies with our business when they exhibit good behavior, that might move the needle.
I mean, universal suffrage came _long_ after democracy, and so while universal suffrage helps (and is a good idea in general), it's probably not necessary.

You need to make a better argument here.

Edit: tweaked analogy
I really don't think this is helpful or very HN like. You may hold all those opinions about him, and you may be right, but 60 million+ people voted for him, just like 60+ million people voted for the other puppet. It doesn't mean either of those groups is stupid.

And it's important to note much of our perception is based off the particular news media we watch and they way they cut up content. If you go back to the Bush days and watch The Daily Show/Colbert make fun of him, and then watch the actual video the clips are taken from, you'd be surprised at how much the narrative changes in order to get a joke.

Obama predator droned people for eight years and spent every day of his presidency at war (while winning a nobel peace prize). The rush to demonize trump often ignores that the last president didn't do anything better. He just spoke more elegantly.
Yeah, when I say that I do code as a hobby so I spent some free time on it, a reaction I get quite often from coworkers is: "I already code at work". Or "I would rather spent my time having fun".

Oh well, it is not for everyone. :-)
Interestingly, right after YouTube became popular a ton of -tube websites popped up, it was before they were bought by Google so they didn't have the money to sue and I'm guessing by the time Google bought them they probably no longer had a good case.
I'm not arguing against money. I'm saying if you have excess your going to personally get more out of sharing it than hoarding it as some number. And if your looking for role models "greedy hoarders" (not all rich people) might not be a good role model.

That is just tax defeatism :-)

The rich do pay some tax so it's not impossible to get them to pay and rich people in different countries pay different percentages of their overall wealth. So it's by no means impossible to make them pay more, if that is what society desires.
Define "rational". If you mean "Can someone justify those beliefs to themselves through a logical chain, while allowing for personal belief systems", then yes, of course, there are plenty of non-evil reasons a rational person could hold those.

However, you can still have irreconcilable differences in belief systems at an existential level.
