But how do you save for retirement when most of your income goes to expenses? It's not the tax rate on investment that keeps the middle class from investing - it's a lack of funds.

I agree.

From the outset it is version controlled, CDN'd, available over HTTPS, and would withstand being linked from the front page of HN just fine.

It's not just a static site, it's one that is easy to grow and modify, and that can withstand a lot of traffic immediately with no investment in infrastructure for the author.

The article in question concerns an "uncontacted" Amazon tribe, and these discussions usually lead to paeans to the pre-agricultural life. I'm sorry if I jumped to conclusions.

On the other hand, the Symbicort I inhale daily to avoid COPD (and the emergency room treatments I received when I was younger) are pretty high tech.

Thats because US corporate tax rates are ridiculous and so big corp plays games. Small corp of course are the real victims because they can't afford the army of lawyers and accountants to manage all the complex tax avoidance schemes so they get stuck with some of the highest corporate tax rates in the world.

Google Maps. It also asks questions sometimes like "Does this place only accept cash?" or "Is this place wheelchair accessible?"

I think recently they even added a feature that lets people ask their own questions which then get answered by people who recently visited the place in question.
This is very true. The hard part is we need corporations to create jobs, provide housing and finance company growth. You get what you reward and optimize for. The problem is that we aren't optimizing for the right things. I think we need to drop things such as "like kind exchange" and find new ways for people to use their retirement to start business but with tax forgiveness if it fails that could be used to refund retirement.
I agree, I think, but the points are made so badly I cringed as I read. Every point is made by begging the question. It's dripping with pro-sales bias. There's no content here, just preaching to the choir.
True, in a age of reduced competition, it's refreshing to still see a ton of consumer choice in the auto market.

So you're not allowed to be self-employed by a corporation that you own yourself in the US? I thought this was pretty normal practice for contractors, especially in IT.

I own my own company where I do contracting work for clients and the income goes to the company. I might have misunderstood or phrased myself badly above.

What I Learned Positioning a Google Moonshot
This is kinda the conclusion that Steve Keen's Debunking Economics arrives at too, although amazingly enough, through a different path (avoiding breaking the monotonicity assumptions on supply and demand curves). Basically, any aggregate supply/demand model has a single consumer and a single product. Which makes them pretty much useless, and they just need to go.

> VW has earmarked 50 billion euros for batteries for its electric cars

That's a meaningless number without the context of how many years it's spread across - which is of course the vaporware point of the statement from VW, it's about grabbing a headline (hey look, we're doing X thing too, we're not the next Nokia, really!). Tesla might as well issue a press release that says they plan to spend $200 billion on batteries (over 20-30 years, but you know, leave that part out).
The web has really regressed in the last 20 years. It used to be as simple as writing a markdown document is today. People even made pages using visual point-and-click editors known as WYSIWYG. Pages loaded fast, without ads, and everything was free and non-commercial. Putting a website up wasn't about promoting some tool (like Hugo, or React, or whatever). People also hosted from their own machines, instead of walled gardens like GitHub.

It's depressing to think about all we've lost and how little we've actually gained.
Schools in the US are funded at the local county/township/municipal level, typically by property taxes or sales taxes, though it varies from state to state. Nothing really to do with income taxes, apart from the occasional grant.
The results for me have always been sub par, and the varieties very limited. The better solution, I found, was the bakery. Bread is cheap there and there is a ton of variety. It's all made expertly by a baker, not some gimmicky machine.
No it's not, the corporation is taxed once, and the dividend recipient is taxed once. If a corporation is to have rights of personhood it needs to pay taxes as well. Also capital gains can come from many sources that aren't taxable.

I agree. That is part of the problem. But, I'd argue that even if US Corp rates were much lower (say 15%), Tim Cook, ever the optimizer, would still pursue the 1% rate they currently achieve.

I think rates should be lowered and and tax avoiders/dodgers should not be allowed to bid on govt contracts.
^^^ this. In fact in the US the IRS will flag abnormally high salaries for small businesses (millions per individual) if no or very few dividends are paid out because income tax is less favorable to the government in the total amount the IRS receives when looking at multi million dollar salaries. Beyond the first $110kish FICA stops making a dent as social security caps out. I'm sure there are possible loopholes for very wealthy individuals but this article doesn't detail them and I'm not familiar with them either. This is the opposite of other places like Sweden where high income tax and low business taxes make dividends very favorable, and the tax authorities there will question paying dividends at too low of income levels.
The reading task involves a number of subtasks. If any of these don't work well, it's “dyslexia”. Different dyslexics have different symptoms and experiences depending on what part of the pipeline is affected how. I'm not surprised that a web page designed to simulate one person's experience doesn't match others'.

For an accessible but informative intro-level text, I recommend _Psychology of Reading_, by Rayner, Pollatsek, Ashby, and Clifton. (I took intro grad-level cognitive psychology from Rayner and Pollatsek.) One anecdote I remember from the first edition involved a subject who couldn't perform left-to-right saccades; she was dyslexic in English, but wouldn't have been in Hebrew or Arabic.

I just install a command line version of mustache for example [1] and run it over simple static templates:

I'm against reductive poles like "free market/no regulation/efficient market" VS "socialism/communism". That whole axis of either you're pro-capitalism OR pro-socialism does not make sense. It is a false dichotomy. The fact that socialism failed does not magically make capitalism is perfect, and the fact that I criticize some fallacies brought by simple models of economics does not make me a socialist!

One can criticize the current system without implying socialism/communism is the way to go!! I believe the current system has many flaws and they can be reformed. All systems have flaws, and instead of throwing our hands up and saying "welp this is the best system we can do!" we can choose to shape the market when it is good for society.

The market exists to serve society, not the other way around. It is only a tool.
> You owe the IRS about $38,500 more, assuming each of us pays the maximum with no special deductions.

This also assumes the investor has no interest income, which would be unlikely. For a younger person with a big nest egg, this wouldn't be a huge chunk of their assets. But as you age you'd want to shift into less-risky assets, like interest-bearing ones.

Also, investors would probably be diversified into real estate (which generates rental income, which is taxed as ordinary income). There are tricks that can be played in real estate, of course, but there's also lots of ordinary income tax paid.

> I get to skip about $24,000 in payroll taxes that you and your employer must fork over each year.

"Payroll taxes" includes social security, which the worker will collect until he/she dies. It is also payable to the worker's spouse in certain circumstances. But you only get to collect social security to the extent you paid into the system. So if there's an economic downturn, the worker will have social security to fall back on in old age, where the investor will not.

The general point remains, but this is a highly stylized example designed to emphasize (hyperbolize) the author's point.

No. No. No. It is really hard to take someones money and claim you can do better with it than they can, especially if that:
#1 you do not share their views
#2 you have no obligation to spend the money on what you stole it for
#3 you have a proven track record for inefficiency

Want to help me out? let me keep my damn money, let me decide what is right for me. you got an agenda? spend your own money toward it.

its also worth noting that almost all school funding does not come from these taxes. if you are so concerned about funding public services, demand Apple pay their taxes. they got 250 billion of the tax evaded stuff.

> I don't really get this line of thinking, it just seems like a denial of globalization, automation, and economics.

So what is the qualitative change in these three factors that changed so much in your opinion? Globalization was important for the US from its very inception (example: European price and production developments where a big factor in the Panic of 1819[1]). And productivity growth has been more or less constant over the last 100+ years [2][3].

Sorry this didn't have up-to-date info for the conferences you were looking for. As suggested would love any PRs. The intent with this release is to get others in the community involved and make the process of creating an event that's managed through github as effortless as possible.
Ignoring all the other things mentioned in comments, just assuming the simple case where Company B fully hires the employees. It's still an "advantage" for the bosses, because if things go wrong you can close Company B without much impact on the business of Company A. They just create Company C and continue.

Aside from the risk of a spill, What is wrong with using oil to produce plastic?
The risks should be reflected in the possible return from the investment (pre-tax), and it is. This is most obvious with fixed-income investments (bonds) where the rate is directly derived from the perceived risks.

The justification also breaks down when you recognise that capital gains taxes are the same for investments in any sector: If it's supposed to reward risk-taking, why tax investments in retail or insurance stocks the same as early-stage venture capital?

That's why I specified "W2 contractor". As a W2 contractor (as opposed to a 1099 contractor) you work for an agency and they pay the employment side of SS and Medicare.

Of course if you need to pay for family benefits, that's an extra cost, a lot of the contractors I know are either married and get benefits under their spouse or are single and have a relatively cheap high deductible plan. When you work for an agency, you can buy insurance as their employee.

When you start a company, you are a business owner first and an engineer second. It is not the same job.

You may be the best engineer in the world, if you don't know how to find customers and get paid, make good investments, and do all the bookkeeping, or, alternatively, hire the right people to do it for you and manage them, then your business will fail.

However, if the only thing you know is how to do business, then all you need to do is hire a competent engineer and you will succeed.

This is false, there are probably something like 500 engineers within Mercedes that specialize in engineering the internal combustion and drive train, and most of them work in at Mercedes AMG, which will never go away for the sheer marketing it brings.

I think the grand-parent comment is vastly overestimating how much of the car business these days is based on tuning the internal combustion engine, which for the most part has seen about all of the advances it is going to see. The rock stars of the car world are now the process and manufacturing guys (and possibly the software guys, though not as much as you'd hope or expect), who still have the power to squeeze the margins tighter than any other engineering division does, and provide more competitive advantage than any other engineering division does.

Electric motors are commodity items that can easily be thrown onto most chassis. Why does Elon Musk always make such a big deal about not having patents? Mostly because he doesn't have any sexy patents to trot out anyways so its good PR fluff.

I think Tesla can survive and thrive, and break the 100 year drought in new car companies, but I think it's a mistake to think that's because they are going to out maneuver car companies at the car game, it's because they are becoming battery experts that they'll win. Tesla is a battery company with a car division.
You’re allowed to be employed by the company you own as an employee, but not as a contractor. You’re a “contractor” from the perspective of your clients, but to your own company (if you made one), you’re an employee.

That just seems so paternalistic to me. You agree that those low on the totem-pole should have it better but handing them a method of direct-action, to collectively and directly make their work environments better doesn't make sense?

This is actual nonsense. If you don't believe that making the middle and lower class better off is good for an economy, I don't know what to tell you.

A more pedantic title would be "What's so bad about POSIX I/O for scalable performance on networked file systems". As others have said, it's an old problem that predates exascale by decades. I never asserted that POSIX is fundamentally broken; it's just that other communities with I/O issues at extreme scales decided to not even bother with the idea of POSIX and went straight for stateless, REST-like APIs and got atomicity through immutability.

It's a pronounced problem in high-performance computing because that community evolved from a much more primitive era and is dragging decades of legacy applications (and, to some degree, thinking) behind it.
Stuff like this is why physical pentesting is so effective. If you sneak into a company and stick a raspi in a corner, nobody tends to notice a black box amidst a bunch of cables. But that black box can attack the dev machines in a variety of ways: it can be a honeypot wifi AP until someone accidentally connects to it, at which point you have creds for the real network. Then you can connect to the real network and look for workstations to attack. Or, as this article points out, you might be able to use a tricky bluetooth attack to get onto the workstations directly.

I'm not sure there's any way to protect against this. Physical pentesters tend to get caught less than 10% of the time. It's very easy to sneak into a building if you know what you're doing and have confidence. And "knowing what you're doing" generally consists of "dress up like a construction worker xor interviewee."
