>Not once you take the already applied corporation tax into account, though

That's right, but you don't have to pay yourself a dividend. If you pay yourself a salary you are taxed exactly the same as any employee. The salary is of course a business expense reducing the corporation tax base.

So taxes plus NI contributions paid by regular employees is your upper bound as a business owner as well. The whole dividends question is purely about how much less you pay than regular employees.

RE: Austerity and economic analysis in general

>How Seriously Should We Take Economics?

>Economics is a science—it proceeds via hypothesis and empirical testing—but it’s a soft and squishy one, and any argument to the contrary should be treated with great suspicion. Especially in macroeconomics, hard-and-fast laws are hard to find. So are stable parameters and reliable empirical studies. Often, about the best we can do is isolate general tendencies, and then look carefully to see whether they apply in the case under consideration.[0]

One big advantage is user services/daemons. I've recently converted most everything I used to start in .xsession to systemd user services and it worked very well. I did it mostly as a way to learn about systemd, but I'm happy with the results and it makes it much easier to diagnose issues and maintain a consistent environment.
With the right tech, toxic (but non-radioactive) waste processing is actually not too bad.

One simply has to incinerate the waste at very high temperatures to turn the whole lot into a plasma, then condense it all into what usually ends up being a non-toxic molten lavalike slag and various gasses. The gasses require a bit more processing to remove NOx, SO2, and any solids, but you're then pretty much done.

Elemental pollutants like arsenic and mercury obviously aren't removed by this process, but they're locked safely in the slag. Obviously, those elements came from the earth at some point in the past, and putting them back in the earth locked in a glassy lava seems fine to me.
Indeed I overestimated the solar potential. It can cover many thousand times the human energy consumption, not many million. I don't know where you are placing that 260kWh/year panel, but it not top quality by any means.

About solar panels being "expensive import raw materials", they are a process literally created by the US, mostly developed there, and that you only import for political reasons. About the actual price, the theoretical limits are way too cheap to matter on our current context, it just requires engineering improvements.
I trust so much its stability that on the Debian servers I maintain I turn on unattended upgraded with automatic reboot.

The maintainers never seem to push anything not security related, most of the changes being backports of fixes from upstream.

Obliviously the price of stability is that the system runs slightly old software versions, but together with containers this is not a problem anymore. Stable OS running cutting edge containers is a combo that works well for me.

Bitcoin is really the only option for us, because there's so much fraud (check, credit, etc.) that we couldn't accept another form of payment without something like 30% markup. The instant finality (well, 1-2 hour finality) of Bitcoin makes that tractable.

Sure, it gives an idea of confidence, but we haven't established that confidence as worth anything yet, and we're being fed numbers to add an air of legitimacy to a statement which doesn't really have any otherwise. Unless someone has actually examined 100 cases, it's just bluster. It's like saying "oh, that never happens" to discount an argument entirely. It's not helpful to a real discussion.

> The advisor was later interviewed and said that he meant 3-1 against as "fair odds", which could easily have changed Kennedy's decision.

The adviser was likely also someone with previously established expertise in this area, which means that opinion might be worth something without supporting evidence. Additionally, giving actual predicted odds is different than falling back on on a colloquialism that almost never literally means 99 times out of 100 or 99%, but instead is meant to convey "almost always", and using terminology like that in a conversation without any supporting evidence isn't useful.

It sounds like you're new to both React Native and the JavaScript ecosystem. I can imagine this being very frustrating for someone regardless of their general programming chops. I happen to be on a React Native project at work right now. Hopefully I can provide a viewpoint that is helpful and give direct answers to some of your questions.

One thing that would be helpful to understand that's missing from the OP, what are you building?

> However, seeing the differences between react and react native, this seems overstated.

I'm actually not sure which specific differences you're referring to. Perhaps you can clarify?

> It was recommended to use javascript and react/react native so I only needed to program once.

It's possible to use RN to build an application which runs on both Android and iOS from a single code base. This is possible with a few other environments but none are (IMO) quite as good at affording for a truly native look and feel including dropping down into native code when necessary.

Building a really great app is still a grind on execution and perfecting small details is a chore. The standards of quality in the mobile app world are high which leads to average users having higher standards than they might with desktop or web applications.

> What were the other benefits?

For people who enjoy working in JavaScript, the fact that you can write native applications using mostly JS is a benefit.

Some products benefit from being able to share code between a web product and a RN application is a big boost in productivity. I've personally saved hundreds of hours leveraging this. It's not a 1:1 swap but it's close enough to lower the mental burden compared to creating something from scratch.

> I thought there was already built components/libraries I could drop in for data management.

There are lots of data management libraries for React. Most can be used in a RN app. Maybe the community resources section of the React documentation will be helpful: https://reactjs.org/community/model-management.html

I can provide specific recommendations if you can describe specific needs. Like most ecosystems deciding which tool to use in which situation is a skill which builds up with experience.
Apparently you missed the reasoning. ProtonMail has the capability to access either the plaintext and/or private keys.

(FYI: It is customary here on HN to disclose any affiliations when commenting.)
I would argue that being a multimillionaire doesn't actually count as failing.
Disagree - there's a huge thriving ecosystem of React components and libraries available, and many of them are mature.
Your question does not mention the use case ? If react-native was recommended, it was for a something specific ?

We use react-native for a cross platform mobile app (iOS and Android). The alternative would be to write two separate code bases in two two different languages for two separate OSes. RN was a no brainer and we are still very happy with it.
I was on a PC at school when the first news report came in over the internet that a plane stuck one of the towers. The news article I read made it sound like it was hit by a small plane, and not a passenger airline.

Then, nothing. Our internet went down. It turns out Comcast relied on the fiber under WTC 1&2 for a large part of their east coast backbone.

We found out that the first tower collapsed by (no kidding) standing outside of one of our teacher's cars and listening to his car radio.

It depends on the product you are building and the team.

E.g for us it was super useful (team of 3) as we just hired a designer ux/ui guy that knew some flexbox stuff and javascript and now he is adopting into react-native quick enough and he is able to change bits in the actual app without us having the need to do it for him.

What am trying to saying is that if we were doing native development for example, there would be no way that the designer knowing a bit of javascript could go in and do it himself in swift/c or java, he'd need us to do it for him.
Exactly this. It's why the UK doesn't have a meaningful property tax, just the (capped) council tax and a tax on transfer of housing.

The last time there was taxation that was genuinely order-redistributive on a large scale was death duties before the war on hereditary landowners who'd not yet figured out how to avoid them.

The library commonly paired with React/React Native for data is Redux.

People who use React and React Native to share code between web and native typically report 85-90% of their code can be shared. Some UX code is platform-specific. Most of the application code should be reusable. Much of the UX code, such as for a button or input field, should be reusable. Getting high reusability depends on strong knowledge of both platforms. That's kind of the case with any abstraction though. The better you know the entire system, the better your code sharing.

React is different from many UX libraries because of its functional structure. You describe what you want, say <b>text</b>. Most people use JSX, but it's really just representing that in a tree structure, an object for each node, references to child nodes, etc. You don't code the algorithm/steps to represent that to the platform. In a traditional native UX library, you'd do something more like "Element textEl = new Text("text"); el.isBold = true; container.add(textEl);". Then when you want to change things, you'd find the element and adjust the properties, delete it, etc. In react, the mental model is to just rerun your render code which spits out the new UX. The library handles the diff/update. React Native essentially takes your tree, it's knowledge of the platform's current state, does a diff, and makes those updates for you. Naturally, there are a lot of underlying heuristics which make that diff/update efficient.

Traditionally, coding a cross-platform app for both web and native platforms is quite a bit more intensive than a simple language port. It's a ground-up re-write.

Should also be pointed out that React Native is only useful for the traditional event-driven style of apps, eg Facebook. You wouldn't use it for games.

It's something you see on a street intersection? I'm kidding, but i don't agree. I don't even agree that the problem is framed correctly. Somebody mentioned "isomorphism" in this thread, which is a very important notion. Different methods of learning are used to learn different things. The things are in principle in different domains. The things might be isomorphic, ie. readily transferred from one domain to another, but they are not equal. A painting of a square is not the same as a verbal description of it. On the one hand, nobody is equally skilled in all domains. On the other hand, there should be some basic skills that are necessary to solve certain problems. So, either everyone who isn't comfortable with a given "learning style" will inherently fail to solve corresponding fundamental problems, or there are multiple ways to solve a problem effectively -- which ideally would mean the student can choose the problems of interest and capability.

In conclusion, both hypothesis are true at the same time, but you are assuming a misguided context. Of course there might exist different ideas of what's elementary or fundamental.

Since React isn't the only component based framework, I think there are easier ways to manage and reason about a front end. In fact React works well in certain cases, sure. It's just that any philosophies or paradigms that it introduced are in almost every framework now as an addition, see: NgRedux or Infernal.js.

Personally, React wasn't an easy shift coming from an angular background; I just felt the state flow was cumbersome compared to 2 way data-binding; although some people swear by it and say it's the only way. I think the real take away is that there's plenty of options to choose from.

It's not far off to imagine that React may not be the flavor of the year at some point.

Kind of the point for me of using Debian is to not have to go shopping around all of the web for packages and because I want to have a uniform packaging standard: Debian Policy. That's why I don't trust anyone but Debian to produce Debian packages. It's a lot of hard work to make sure all packages adhere to a common standard, a standard that upstream distributors will not follow.

In this case, however, the Postgres packager is also the Debian packager, so I decided to trust his direct upstream Debian packages and installed them. This is a rare exception, and I don't want to be doing this all the time.
