> The citizen, looking the health of their society, has to take a wider view and consider if the existing tax laws and enforcement is contributing to a better or worse society.

This is very important in deciding to pay taxes at all, and highly salient for people trying to impact tax legislation.

In terms of tax _burden_, though, it's quite odd to do anything but minimize taxation, and the extent of minimization cannot be extrapolated to social health or social costs.

The primary mechanism the government has to shape the economy is through taxation. It's not just transferring cash to the collective public coffers, there are specific reasons the government wants or doesn't want certain kinds of spending and certain kinds of economic relationships. You get a mortgage deduction because house ownership has perceived social benefits, for example. You get write offs for specific programs, or kinds of spending the gov wants to encourage. By ignoring the relevant tax-regime you are also ignoring the economic directives of your elected government.

At the same time: overpaying on your taxes is a highly inefficient way to do just about anything. Send post-tax cash to the DOD, NHS, charities, political parties, or to Lockheed-Martin directly, if you're so inclined. This will always yield more direct impact then indirect funding through government taxes.

Legal tax minimization is good for the economy and lets capital move 'intelligently' towards desired outcomes. It lets legislators shape the cradle-to-grave picture while maintaining representational control. Illegal tax minimization is criminal :)

One thing this does seem to suggest is an explanation of why exercise encourages brain health. The lymphatic system only circulates well when the body is in movement, so exercise would help the lymphatic fluid circulate through the brain and thus help "clean" it.

Just for discussion sake since you asked for stories about other environments, our data is primarily on-premise and we use plain-old Teradata for our warehouse as well as write our own ETL scripts in SAS. We're looking into Alteryx to see if we can merge our data together but I don't think any of the above would be as useful to your environment. We are happy with our plain-old relational database simply because our analysts can navigate it easily. I've worked other tools like Informatica but it's been a pain to get them to work with our data, which is why we wrote our own scripts.

"Then what of the Italian scientist who noted them 200 years ago?"

Two possibilities come to mind. First, he may have been studying a rare brain that had an enlarged system, and since he did not have preconceptions that what he found couldn't possibly be a component of the lymphatic system, he called it like he saw it. (It is also possible such brains were less rare back then or something. Many things have changed in our body's environments in the last 200 years. Random correlations abound.)

The other is that perhaps he was simply wrong. He saw something that he identified as a lymphatic component but was in fact something else. Future people didn't make the same mistake so the observation sank without a trace. 200 years later, the real and much-more-subtle lymphatic system was found.
I would recommend not to compete on price.

By all means position yourself as more affordable but if you go specifically after cheap customers there is no loyalty there. They will always switch to whoever is cheapest and are a nightmare to support.

It's better to have a cut down feature-set, make sure you price based on that value and being simpler than the competitor.

There is room for you both in the industry. Focus on the right subset of customers and the core features that are right for them.

Making money is not evil. Wall street makes money, pharma makes money, lawyers make money, insurance makes money, automobiles, consumer goods, real estate - all huge industries. Now that tech is being used on a massive scale of course the tech companies are making money. So what? It doesn't make sense to equate rich with evil - either for companies or for people.

SF (and many cities in the US and across the world) have always had poor people. The world has always been very unequal with kings and paupers and everything in between. Now some of them are in the same town and it freaks people out.. welcome to the real world. Anyone who has ever lived in NYC has seen the same inequality.

Yep, what I tried to get to was, in gist, "it's more complicated than individuals should be responsible for their own choices".
That is a good idea. I was thinking in terms of the OP and RAD web development environments for programmers.
>This also happens if you build the component in code, no? I fail to see how this is specific to a visual tool. A professional should take care of all cases, regarding of the medium of the tool.

If you want to do it correctly in the tool and tie the UI update to the "permission granted" response, that event (or part of a store, or however it's implemented) already has to be defined in code (even if it's just a stub) by the time you're making the UI.

So again, this breaks the isolation because the component in the tool now has to know about this.

In contrast, if you're writing the component in code, and find something missing, you can just go "oh, guess I'll just add that to the appropriate place".

I can imagine the tool exporting some kind of interface with a list of things it needs (project-wide, across different components), that the developers would then implement, but with that we're getting pretty far from existing real-world React patterns. It's also starting to approach the difficulty of just learning to code in the first place.
Will Android or iOS Development Pay You More?
The key concepts to think about when trying to decide whether you need to use a blockchain are:

- consensus between trustless systems
- failure tolerance between trustless systems
- immutability of data
- verifiable audit trails
- cryptographically secured ownership of data/resource/etc.

For each of these areas there are more specific considerations, e.g.:

- access control (public, private, federated)
- type of consensus (proof-of-work, proof-of-stake, etc.)
- type of data (ledger, map, log) and implementation

With blockchains, there are now huge classes of problems that can be dealt with, that were impossible or impractical with traditional databases (where trust is required between multiple parties.)
Anatomy textbooks aren't anything like real life. They're all colourful, clearly distinguished and clearly labelled, yet any autopsy will reveal a mess of reddish brown that tangles and squishes together. Also remember that human bodies aren't constructed, they're grown, so the idealised version of the textbook isn't what you end up seeing when you cut something open, and what you see when you do that changes each time you do that. It's why cadavers are still used to teach medical students.

Economic growth is usually measured in percentage terms. There are good reasons for that. If they can keep the growth rate, the Chinese economy will be larger than the US in about 10 or 15 years.

China's is still a developing economy and they have a lot of ways to increase productivity compared to the US. They are also at a leading edge in many technologies of the future so they do not need to spend as much as other developing countries to purchase them from abroad.

China's growth rate may slow down but it will continue to be faster than the US rate for many years.

US Dollar is the world's reserve currency. If US dollar becomes less strong in the future, the size of US economy may not be as large in relative term anymore. The petrodollar system may not be as powerful when renewables are more important. Perhaps China also considers this when they push so hard for renewables.

That should be part of the authentication to enable the service (enter a code on the mailer to finalize setup). The fact that it doesn't send anything is just mind boggling.
Europe excels at tax avoidance? Really?

Corporate Tax avoidance became a "thing" from about when President Reagan was in office. This enables American companies to makes billions in Europe and NOT contribute to the EUs budget. Which have "socialized" programs, and this anathema to certain political types in the US.

TomTom Traffic Index
Sometimes you have to take a long term perspective. I've got a codebase here at work that bunch of people have been hacking along on without tests, taking the approach you use, and for the first couple of years it all went swimmingly. Now however things have greatly slowed down since the initial design wasn't thought through the lack of any sort of testing framework makes refactoring a pain, adding new features really annoying and finding subtle bugs is far harder than it should be. So I've basically had to stop development while I try to add tests so that I can find out what is connected to what and how things break when I change things.

The flip side of all of this is of course that adding too much bureaucracy up front might have killed much of the initial developing velocity the project had and we might not have come as far as fast.
If we continue down the path with this logic, shouldn't citizens who don't find themselves below or near the poverty line and support increasing the role of the government skip the standard deduction to increase the rate of tax they pay? After all the standard deduction was only added to garner middle class votes and is thusly "immortal lobbying" of a sort.

Castella follows a model similar to France in regards to centralization, where Madrid should be central to Iberia. Other regions openly refuse (or reluctantly conform) to that location since they know that Madrid will mostly only serve its own interests.

This was the reason why Portugal split from a joint Spanish kingdom centuries ago.

Then we should see the foreign interests. France and UK profit from fragmentation in Iberia. Smaller countries are easier to place against each other instead of being an economical threat to them. Portugal remains a strong UK ally over the centuries while Spain sides with France, and now further fragmented as Madrid doesn't open the hand to a decentralized model.

Really sad. People in Iberia consider themselves more or less as part of the same family (which is true to large extent). We should be working together.

"Utilities Should Charge Into Electric Vehicles"

"The total potential market for electricity fueling American vehicles is staggering (warning: large back-of-envelope ahead).Let's just take light-duty vehicles (not heavy trucks or buses), of which there were about 190 million on the road in 2015, according to government figures. For the sake of simplicity, replace them all with a full battery-electric vehicle that gets 3.5 miles per kilowatt-hour, loses 10 percent of the power it takes as it charges and discharges, and travels 13,000 miles a year.Presto! You've basically created an entirely new center of demand for power rivaling the entire industrial sector of the U.S.:"

It's being implemented by all major browsers too!
Filter Bubbles and the Universal Hipster
I just started a new site for teaching this!

I've found that smart contracts have a lot of jargon that can be opaque, but the concepts are familiar to web developers (and not that hard to learn).

For example, in traditional webdev we use our browser to connect to an app server, which is connected to a centralized database.

In Ethereum dev, every node has a copy of the entire database. To write distributed apps, you read from your local copy. That is, for a JavaScript DApp, you use the web3 JavaScript library to connect to a local node you have running on your own machine.

Writes are little more involved, because you need the network to agree that your writes are valid. So to perform writes, you submit a transaction to the network.

The result is reads are free and writes cost money.

Solidity is tricky, but not that bad if you're careful. If you know JavaScript already, you can totally learn to program smart contracts.

In any case, my site is here. I'll be making the first course free shortly: https://www.newline.co/
