What in the world are you rambling about? Do you know what a limit is?

Yeah, and I'm the king of France. If you really have a Ph.D., I'd wager it's not in mathematics, given the content of your posts.
Interesting that raising live feed for the frogs would be one of the major bottlenecks (despite good efficiency of 3 masses of food to produce one mass of frogs).
> Wonder why it didn't get picked up despite being a standard :(

It doesn't work on the real internet, only on some fantasy internet that merely exists in the head of DNSSEC advocates.

Basically you can only do DNSSEC if you can receive arbitrary DNS records. That's not the case for a non-negligible portion of Internet accesses, where those queries get filtered. Adam Langley has pointed this out years ago:
https://www.imperialviolet.org/2015/01/17/notdane.html

So if you want to deploy DANE you can choose between falling back to insecure (so it's entirely pointless) or breaking the Internet for a large fraction of users. Neither is a very good plan.
I only know of ReasonML, what Reason are you referring to?

It's true that there is some overlap between the shareholders at different times, but there is some difference too. You can think of the shareholders that bought in cheaply after the price drop as compensating the shareholders that bought before the price drop and sold after. It's not clear to me whether this is a benefit to society.
The rumour traces back to a single anonymous source reported on by the Information. I hope it turns out to be true, because in 2012 I made a 5 year prediction for it and it's always nice to be correct about things, but we'll have to see. From the outside looking in, they look to be pretty close, but only the people at Waymo really know how close they are to doing it.
Yeah, the best I could find were at http://www.tolkienlibrary.com/press/1147-tolkien-calendar-20...

How do you think that means shorter distances between stops for lower density? You pick up less people per stop, but it's less also people over a given distance, so it doesn't imply stopping more frequently.

I can confirm. I too used to work there (hi Jack9, good to see you're still around).

The owners were secretive and good at compartmentalizing their actions. So, it took a long time to figure out what they were trying to do. Although pure speculation, I would not bet against their complicity in this latest round of fraud.
Well, try explaining that to the HSTS and HPKP folks. They already have answers littered on stack overflow and HN to advise to enable it for anything and everything. With exactly zero consideration for the potential to backfire.

I was a premed in undergrad, and I graduated with a molecular biology degree. I got a job in a research lab, which I stayed in for almost two years. I still have a stack of MCAT books sitting in my storage unit.

Want to know a huge reason why I left that whole world and decided to write software for a living instead?

It's pretty simple - all of the younger doctors that I talked to told me that it was my last chance to avoid making a huge mistake. That medicine has become a gilded cage for them. Doctors have far less autonomy than they used to, that they have to work for twenty or more years to pay back their enormous student loans, and that they'd quit on the spot if they could afford to do so.

I was also told that my future pay prospects would dwindle further.

So given the prospect of being trapped in a job that I'd hate, which will at some point start to pay less and less each year, is it any wonder that I decided to do something else with my life?

What comes next isn't pretty. In the words of my doctor friend, "Don't get sick."
The whole world knows it as Arabic numerals. I am not contesting where it originated, I am just saying, that using Indian numerals confuses everyone.
As a new user, it is way more useful. As an old user, you skip right past it.

Every Python exception tells you

> Traceback (most recent call last):

Which is a similar boilerplate statement. Except less useful to newcomers.

And if you doubt the need for newcomers to understand that stack traces and compiler errors are useful, then take a look at new user questions on StackOverflow - it's incredible how many of them flat out don't include that information. This kind of thing makes it way more likely the user recognises this is something useful, and better than that - makes it way more likely they can apply that information and solve their own problem.

> Besides, isn't a bug exclusively something that breaks at runtime?

I mean, it would be a bug if the type checker hadn't caught it. The runtime distinction seems completely arbitrary when we are talking about tools take take runtime errors and make them impossible.
A somewhat more general proof involves the use of the Chinese remainder theorem and the fact that 4 is divisible by the order of the multiplicative group of both integers mod 2 and mod 5. Therefore x^5 = x mod 2 and x^5 = x mod 5 for all x, and as a consequence x^5 = x mod 10 for all x.

This construction seems to fail if the base isn't square free. In particular in base 4 the number 2 has as powers 2, 10, 20, 100 etc.

I was tempted to explain, in excruciating detail, exactly what will happen if thermonuclear weaponry is used on North Korea. But you were glib, so I'll be glib too: Many North Koreans, South Koreans, Japanese, Russians, and Chinese will all die. Some will die instantly, some will die over the next 15min, some will die over the next week, and some will die over the next 20yrs. We will poison the Pacific. China and Russia may respond, and if so, it will not be a gentle response.

If you think that nukes are "good news" then you probably do not understand what "good" is.

WOW. The really revealing quote in this article is this:

"But it remains easier and cheaper for companies like Comcast and AT&T, with the help of groups like ALEC, to instead convince clueless lawmakers to pass laws restricting your right to determine for yourself how your money gets spent, and what it gets spent on."

I then googled "ALEC" (and looked past the Alec Baldwin twitter scandal of the day) and was amazed to discover a shadowy group that steers local legislation just about everywhere. Holy crap!

What Gold Bugs Miss About Bitcoin's 'Intrinsic Value'
It's tragic that in countries like Argentina this test, and many other projective tests, test based in psychoanalitic pseudoscience and with lots of evidence against them, are routinely used by therapists and taught in universities.
Another example of a commonly used projective tests is the HTP, where you draw a human, a tree and a person and a they are interpreted according to baseless dogmas.

If somebody wants to read details about results of research about the Rorscharch and projective tests I recommend Lilienfeld's paper
"The Scientific Status of Projective Techniques". You can google it as a pdf.

And for a divulgational reading about the topic this article at Scientific American is quite good http://digitalcommons.utep.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1...

Fortunately in USA and Europe psychology has embraced science (or is very willing to do that, I mean, even if the research cannot be always replied or doesn't use the best methodology, the scientific method predominates). In Argentina psychologists are mainly postmodernists, anti-science, attatched to Lacan's revelations. Of course there are exceptions, but it's difficult to uproot all the charlatans from the public universities and hospitals.
They have to develop highly skilled workforces AND keep them there. My smallish town where I grew up certainly hasn't done that. Of all of my classmates who attended college directly after high school, I can count on one hand with spare fingers the number still living in the area. I'd say well over half don't even live in the state anymore. Mind you, nobody in my high school attended any fancy private universities. We almost all went to state schools. (Big Ten, MAC, and smaller schools.) The private school attendees went to local religious affiliated colleges.

Developing talent does no good if you can't stop the brain drain.

> you are the one editorializing

Of course I am, this is the comments to an article submitted to HackerNews.

> Factually, capitalism/globalization has benefited lower classes materially

So we're in agreement.

> but has stripped them of agency

Social mobility has gone up since 1700s and continued to go up, with little more than a few hiccups along the way. Regardless, whether or not globalization is good or bad is an opinion and one that does not belong in an article about a single specific study on tax avoidance / possible tax evasion.

I'm not going to reply to the rest of what you said because of that same basic point. It's a complicated issue that tackles a lot of different areas of economics, history, and politics that doesn't have any real agreement with the experts that study those things. I certainly have no hope of doing the subject justice as a comment to an article.

And that's precisely why that shouldn't be shoehorned into an article about taxes to begin with. You have no hope of defending general condemnation of globalization and piling on nonspecific blame on the "ultra rich." If a journalist has an opinion and they want to argue why they're right backed up by objective facts and research, I'd love to read that sort of thing. But precisely because I don't want to live in an echo chamber, I don't want to hear your opinion stated as fact without anything to back up.

And all art has a wide expanse between commercially available and popular, and the avant garde, and within that range is another range between simplicity and complexity.

Art also encompasses film, fiction, the visual arts, music. All of which have a massive range of intellectual importance and depth.

No offense, but I feel as though you're showing your ignorance much more than proving your point.

It's nice to shoot for if you're greenfield. Line coverage != path coverage and blind adherence to line coverage metrics isn't going to guarantee anything.

Mods changed the article title from "A new study shows how little tax the super-rich pay".

"The often used counter argument is that top 1% pays almost 50% of total federal income tax."

But ^ is a discussion of "how a thing in another country relates to themselves?" I must be missing all the well-written nuance of how tax evasion is justified due to income inequality.

Isn't that the case in all skilled professions that pay well?
The percentage of taxes paid by the highest income earners is lower when you include all taxes, but still pretty significant.[1] These numbers do not include state taxes, only federal.

Income percentile - % individual income tax paid - % all taxes paid

Top 10% - 83.4% - 65%

Top 5% - 69.4% - 53%

Top 0.01% - 26.4% - 19.2%

Note that anyone in the bottom 50% actually has a negative income tax contribution since they get tax credits.

For the top 0.01% of income earners, the average total tax rate is 46.3%. Much higher than I originally thought.

I was not technologically inclined in high school, but I distinctly remember a peer talking about how cool they were and how much they could be used to do. This article is the second time I've ever heard the word. So... I guess the fact that it's been 7 years and they're still just "going to do awesome things" is probably a good reason why.
Consolidation is also a big issue. Regional specialty hospitals are buying up local GPs. Companies like Banfield are also buying up specialty hospitals and GPs. This reduces the number of software buyers and obviates the need to "transfer files" because all the files are already within one system.

We originally believed all the reasons sudosteph points out as being a good reason to enter the vet tech space. It didn't quite work out for us.

They're not growing 2x every year. Even the article you linked says "“China’s labor costs are increasing, or doubling, every few years,”"

In any case, the advantage of cheap human labour has already been replaced by what you call 'cheap machine labour'. China has been able to dominate manufacturing in large part by giving companies access to cheap capital, which allows them to invest in machines. Silicon chips aren't made by hand. PCBs aren't soldered by hand.
more housing = more residents = more local tax income

That's the formula San Jose followed for two generations and is exactly why it's less successful than its neighbors, who pursued industrial development plus "big box" retail (both of which provide a better local tax base). Sunnyvale, Mountain View, etc. used San Jose as a "bedroom community" and instead welcomed a more industrial base.
There lies a difference between 'developing' & 'developed' and my point regarding it is with the development pace which is comparatively slow against Brazil or any other developing nation which usually has very few language as an official one. Brazil has only one 'Portuguese' as an official language but India has far too many.
Why? It offered an interesting, alternative interpretation of the same data. That seems valuable.

Oh, no, I'm sorry but it's the other way around.

The 'mass lie' is on the employer payroll tax side of the equation.

An employer payroll tax is for all purposes the same thing as an employee tax, but it's 'hidden' (i.e. you don't see it as a deduction) - but it's equally as oppressive.

Politicians love it because they can increase it without any visibility and no uproar.

It's about 30% in Sweden.

Also - up to ~50% income tax.

And then 25% VAT.

Can you imagine if Google had to take 30% of your salary off the top before they paid you?

And then you're effective rate wast 10% higher (like 40%?).

And then everything you bought was 25% taxed?

And the other form of 'hidden tax' - in many places, prices have to be quoted with VAT to hide the 'hit' they take.

Admittedly you get healthcare for that.

It's very reasonable to call this confiscation of wealth.

The units tell you tons. They just don't tell you the whole story. Trust me, try complex distributed systems testing in an environment the underlying services themselves are bug-prone and issuing stack traces all over because of poor fencing/bounds checking/et al.

You may think that way now regarding mocking the database, but where you will find yourself down the line is trying to devise a functional system integration test case for a slightly esoteric condition (deadlocks, timeouts). It's nice to have the scaffolding of a unit testing framework with robust mocks for those situations.

Edit: also, you should consider a gitflow workflow (dev -> integration -> master/stable) and make feature branch off of dev to insulate your master.
Yes. It’s similar to the difference between a mechanic and an engineer: a mechanic figures out something works, but the engineer can then take the next step to discover/know how. If someone cannot articulate or identify advantages, then they are pushing unproven, possibly wrong “religious” beliefs like a “mechanic.” Zealous communinal reinforcement is political, Macaroni and silly when there are no convincing arguments other than “because it’s new” or “because.”

Regarding -1 apple, you can argue in the same way that any concept "doesn't exist" if you refuse to recognize a correspondence between it and its referent. What makes "-1 apple" less real than "1 apple"? I could argue, for example, that the conceptual boundary between an apple and the tree it came from cannot be guaranteed to be the same as its actual physical point of separation, and thus any real apple is more like 1.000001 or 0.99999 apples, so there is no such thing as "1 apple" in reality.

Agreed.

And guess what - many of the foreign buyers leave the homes empty.

I grew up watching Jackie Chan movies (and other great HK actors that unfortunately can't remember) and I'm amazed of the influence they imprinted in Hollywood.
