I have a finance career and am also the technical partner of a startup. This answer mirrors my opinion. Economics is nearly 100% theoretical and not useful at all for entrepreneurship which is nearly 100% practical.

Most other answers here are confusing finance or accounting or business-sense for economics... which shows how little they know about economics. And by the way, formal finance and accounting also has little value for an entrepreneur too (just hire an accountant).

My startup partner has a background in marketing and is doing great building the business (while being inept in finance, accounting, technology or economics). If you aren't familiar with marketing, as said above, it's all about knowing your customers.

Nah, you don't sound like a Marxist. But the only thing you're missing is how you're stating the obvious.

Just Google what rich people say about being rich and you'll find that they say exactly the same thing. After a certain point it's all the same.
To count Social Security and Medicare withholding as part of federal income taxes would be incorrect, as neither are income taxes (they are payroll taxes.)

I think to correctly frame what proportion any income group (or wealth group) pays, you have to look not just as federal income taxes, but at all taxes.

What if you order the absolute values of the differences from the midpoint of the interval, where the midpoint is supremum - infimum if bounded, or zero if unbounded? Obviously this fails for closed/open sets like [a,infinity), but wouldn't it work for fully open sets?
> Seems a bit deceiving

It's more than a bit deceiving. It's part of a systematic disinformation campaign. It goes hand-in-hand with the outrageous lie that the estate tax harms family farmers.

But cutting taxes on the rich is indefensible on the merits, so deception is the only option if you're rich and you don't want to pay taxes.
NZ doesn't have a real, single constitution, more a collection of case law[1].

I'd argue that if a person can no longer reasonably expect to buy a house in their own country then they're being deprived of their rights and that this is a more significant loss than others losing their "rights" to tax free profit from their property speculations.

Assuming you meant GS3... If you do anything with mobile data, you'll find 4G/LTE a big improvement over 3G or 4G Wimax. 4G/LTE came in with the S5 (but not all S5s have the right hardware). One of my S5s is 4G/LTE upgradeable, and the other wasn't.

I have an old GS3 that I use for privacy-suck apps (I have no data left on it).

Then what is the alternative? Wouldn’t you rather die with the honor of defending you and your families liberty than live under an oppressive regime?

The argument that “the government is too strong they’d beat you with your puny guns” is so incredibly short sighted. You’re discounting the power the rifle gives the people not only as a weapon but a symbol of freedom and revolution. An armed society is a deterrent at the very least.

Well that explains why I feel like winter nights are somehow worse and darker than summer ones. In summer, it's mostly not night at all: the twilight periods eat half the clock-nighttime. In winter, twilight gets cut in half and combines with the losses of daylight to extend nighttime.
First, the article was discussing the top 0.01% not the top 1%. So your factoidlette is off by a factor of 100 or if you prefer, two magnitudes. Second, even at that level of apples and oranges, the top 1% got 21.2% of the income in 2014.

I haven’t used a personal check states side in many many years; I don’t even bother ordering them anymore going for a cashiers check on the rare case I need a check for something. And when was the last time you went to an ATM in the states, maybe once every 6 months?

In contrast, up until a few years ago, I had to bring a backpack full of 100 RMB notes to pay my rent every 3 months. China has made a transition for sure, but don’t forget the local problems they were solving (poor penetration of UnionPay, poor online payment facilities). And online retail and a godsend when you consider the horrible state owned department store system and anemic brick and mortar retail clones they replaced.

Chinese companies will probably change the game in china, it as long as they are focused and limited to local problems, I don’t see how it will effect the west very much.
Well...not that much more ...but there is a noticeable uptick.
Then why do they keep pursuing more wealth? If you like money primarily for the pleasure it can buy, why not spend more time enjoying it? Why kill yourself just so your descendants can be financially secure?
We are extremely fortunate today to have resources that enable one to independently study the entire contents of a CS degree in the fraction of time on their own schedule. Pursuing a CS degree while actively employed in the field is a foolish waste of money.
The real reason this is happening is in fact much simpler than outlined in the comments: Kiwis quite simply don't have an asset class in which to invest sensibly that isn't property [1]. In America, I'd cheerfully put the majority of my income into an index fund tracking things like the S&P 500 but New Zealand tax laws heavily penalise this and incentivise property ownership by giving a pass on capital gain tax. The result? House prices are driven up artificially; a problem adroitly obscured by not appearing on an RPI index.

The current political developments present an interesting situation; a Labour campaign pledge was to impose capital gain tax on personal property investment (already sanely capped for anyone considered a property developer). I don't see other asset classes being taxed differently to compensate, thus exacerbating the already dire talent drain the country is experiencing. Ironic, given the endemic NZ aspiration to 'get ahead'. It's certainly an interesting time to live here, but I'd prefer bubbles to confine themselves to the Bay Area!

Sure.

> [the ideas of the Englightenment] originated in the West

I would say they first took root and lasted long enough to have impact in the West. As you say, the ideas of the Enlightenment are universal moral principles that aren't really tied to specific culture, a sort of political version of the Golden Rule. It might even have been the state of nature before agriculture and townships gave rise to kingships and states. We didn't used to be slaves to The Man.

To harp on the theme of this thread, things could have gone very differently if Mo Di's philosophy became the official state belief instead of Confucius' legalism:

Which ideas in the book do you think are toxic?

And how can an idea be toxic?

If you consider an idea, evaluate it in its full context, and conclude that it is true, then you can accept it and live a better life. If you reject the idea, you don't have to think about it anymore.

There is no way for an idea, by itself, to harm you.

That’s not the trade off the article proposed, and you will note that the author responded directly with an opinion much different than yours.

The bottom line is that both cities have things they value and they don’t want someone else to tell them what to do. If we are to solve the problem, everyone will have to make sacrifices. Everyone’s neighborhood will need to change. Including golden gate park.

moral: adjective - Concerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior and the goodness or badness of human character.

noun - a person's standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do.

Actually, those are morals.

There are cultures and religions around the world that live life differently from you. They believe there should be strong gender norms, have strict codes of conduct for how to live their lives, and expect and enforce those standards on everyone in the community. Do you think they should be silenced?
The way it's normally done for those kinds of people is they take out a big loan secured by the stock, which is sold over time.

pardon my ignorance, but what is the specific correlation of math skills to dominance in AI ?
yes, AI/ML/dnn uses substantial amounts of linear algebra, much the way accountancy uses large amounts of arithmetic. but we don’t see mathematicians racing to be accountants. i have specifically written to several math departments in the US asking if they do any sort of AI/ML related graduate research. Even schools that offer courses like “math of deep learning” are happy to confess that this is just a bait - they are using that course title to hook more students to sign up, but the course content is plain old eigenvalues and matrix decompositions and what used to previously be called “advanced linear algebra”. you aren’t likely to get any AI breakthroughs from math folks - that is simply not the focus of math depts. i have correspondended with several COLT folks who deal with the theoretical end of sgd/neural nets/ statistical learning, and even there the correlation with math is expendable.

now if you are talking statistics, in particular applied statistics, most of those departments are retooling by hiring ml folks from csee departments. but the bread and butter courses required to get a stat phd remain the same as they were a decade ago - 2 core inference courses, 2 core math-stat measure theoretic courses, 2 courses on experimental stats. literally no stat dept mandates an ML course, though a few do allow ml as an elective.
now, all of this can and will change over the next few years, but its very early days.

essentially, predicating ai dominance on raw math skills is a mistake. there’s no significant correlation.
I think you are arguing past me on the first part. They are "payroll taxes", yes. And there is a "US federal income tax" of which they are not, yes. Technically they do also fit the definition of what an income tax is (wikt:"A tax levied on earned and unearned income"; wikipedia "Retirement oriented taxes, such as Social Security or national insurance, also are a type of income tax, though not generally referred to as such").

More to the point, and I think we agree here, the deception is by framing the discussion only about the "us federal income tax" when that is only 60% of the total federal income/payroll taxes collected. If you tell people that the top 1% makes 22% of the money and pays 40% of federal income taxes it makes them sound oppressed. If you tell people that the top 1% makes 22% of the money, has 35% of wealth and pays 25% of federal income and payroll taxes, the oppression disappears.
Yes. China pays well, not just for AI researchers, but specialized tech talent in general. They attract workers from Taiwan, Korea, Japan for the better paycheck accordingly, where tech workers aren’t valued as much.

I agree that RansomPKP itself isn't that big a real-world concern (which was part of my point), but it did motivate the first wide discussions that I'd seen questioning whether HPKP should exist.

The linked Qualys blog post / HN thread was shortly after our talk, which (along with our conversation with Scott Helme around that time) led to Scott's post "Using security features to do bad things"[1]. RansomPKP and related follow-ups are directly highlighted by Scott's recent post "I'm giving up on HPKP"[2] in which he announced his decision to remove HPKP from the Security Headers tool[3], and Scott himself is cited in this post by Chris Palmer.

Note that I'm not suggesting that Scott himself is responsible for this, or that anything he's said has been in bad faith. My point is simply that my talk was one part of the chain of events that started the ball rolling on this conversation.

I'm also not saying that RansomPKP / hostile pinning is the most important reason that people have for not liking HPKP — in this case Chris lists it as only one of three motivations. Clearly, the usability issues with its implementation have been a much bigger problem, which is what I would like to see serious attempts to improve on before throwing out all the work that's been done up until now.

Edit: re: sleevi edit: the tweet you linked doesn't say anything about regretting the concept of TLS key pinning entirely, just that it's done as a header. I'll admit it's ambiguous, but that sounds to me like he would rather have kept the feature but changed the API. I would be all for deprecating the HPKP header if it were replaced with a better / more usable interface to the feature.

Depends on the section and topic. New posts section is article first, then read the comments and add my own.

There are two reasons I visit the HN front page instead of getting all my news off comment-free aggregators like Google News or more specialized equivalents.

Reason #1 is that often HN surfaces articles on topics that I wouldn't see anywhere else without a lot of digging through noise. Those I usually click straight through to the article and skip the comments.

Reason #2 is that sometimes I've already read about a topic elsewhere and feel strongly about it and want to express myself or hear how the larger community is thinking about it. Because someone is wrong on the internet! Those I dive into the comments first.

Occasionally an article will satisfy both reasons, and then I'll do both but the order of operations depends on how well informed I already feel about the topic. The better informed, the more likely to start with the comments.
I mentioned SCC because I used to drive autocross with an SCC and cared after my cars. In reality it's everyone, as you noticed, but plenty of my dumb friends were running their customized SCC cars into snow banks due to Z-rated tires on during snow season.
Hardly anyone is paper anymore.

There's a lot of vet management software, but really only two that matter - Cornerstone and IDEXX.

All the vet schools use one or the other, and so do the vast majority of large vet clinics and corporations where young vets get their first jobs. If they ever start their own practice, they've already gotten use to Cornerstone/IDEXX, so there's no reason for them to switch.

There's little demand from clients to see their records online or transfer their records electronically. Sorry, HN crowd, but that's just the way it is with non-techies. The practices that do offer it use a number of third party integration services. However, the demand is so low, those companies hardly make any money because they can't charge very much.
I agree completely. But even for people who don't feel that way, there are good reasons for HN to have this rule. Breaking it degrades the community and oneself.
