I believe even in the context of mathematics orthogonal means independence. I.e., one can move along x and y axis without having y or x value being changed. However if you move along any line that's not parallel to x or y axis then both x and y value change simultaneously. That's how I interpret orthogonality in the context of math anyway.

Corporate tax raises relatively little revenue, and most Western European countries don’t rely on it much because its easier to tax individuals.

If we don’t want to be getting more in debt we should raise taxes on middle class people to the level of say Germany. In a state like California, our taxes on rich people and corporations are already about as high as in Germany, its our taxes on people making sub-200k that really dramatically lower. That’s where most of the income is—in the 50-99% range.

Economics isn't something you can just fabricate an opinion on. There are countless academics who have actually studied the labor market who would correct you if you would spend any time trying to learn rather than pontificate. This isn't subjective.

There's nothing "wrong" with XML but with JSON there's no need to add another 5 pounds (2.2 KG) of JavaScript to convert XML to JavaScript objects. For any other language it doesn't matter since you're re-mapping to objects, most likely, but with JavaScript eating the web (even on the server side) I think the question should be "why shouldn't this be JSON" as a default. In the end either way works. I would love to see Google Reader resurrected... stopped reading blogs and switched to Twitter and Hacker News once Reader died.
To each their own, but I’d hate the firefox-style scrolling tabs UI suggested by the article.

1. I don’t want to be surprised to find some old tab hidden by the scroll.

2. Id like to be able to close tabs without first scrolling to it.

3. If I control tab past the last tab does it scroll to the first tab? Id then have to scroll back to find my latest tabs?

4. Again, personal preference, but if I had 50 tabs open and wanted to go back to the 24th one, id rather navigate to it through a search engine or bookmarks, rather than trying to locate that particular tab.

To that I would say the G-force strength and direction should be predictable, known even when they are designing the seats before building the rocket. So the passengers should be in an optimal position where they don't need to hold up their heads against the Gs but are cradled by the seat. I think that is very different from the bobsled analogy where the G-forces are changing intensity and direction all the time and you are not in an optimal position.

If the G-forces are unpredictable, well something went really really wrong.

you kind of need to follow your own advice there. "all should consider themselves Creationist" would be considered pretty silly, or at least absolutely debatable, in the church I grew up in (a very unremarkable suburban Presbyterianism). the Bible itself contains two contradictory creation stories.

I think the overwhelming majority of Christians fit into the "the two mutually contradictory creation stories in Genesis could not be taken literally even if they didn't contradict each other" camp that I'm most familiar with, or, at most, are nearer the "could be billions of years" end of your spectrum.

edit: after a little Googling, it looks like 51% of US Christians accept a "but it was God's idea" version of evolution, i.e., evolution is how it works, God set evolution in motion. and we probably all know that the US is the only technologically advanced nation with such a high percentage of evolution skeptics. but if it's about all Christians, worldwide, evolution skeptics could be the majority, given that technologically non-advanced countries may contain the majority of the world's Christians.

I am 23 and I read a lot from Mr Money Mustache, Early Retirement Extreme, Frugal Hackers, and many others. I fully agree with you but I still save close to 60% of my income (no debt, own my own car/house and have $45k invested in 401k/roth ira/hsa/taxable account) and live extremely comfortable.

I will be able to "retire" by age 33+ but I don't plan on actually quitting work. I am naturally minimalistic and frugal, but I live a very comfortable life on $15-20k or less (past 2 years I've lived on $10k in midwest US).

I am mostly doing this to secure a buffer of time to buy freedom and start-up costs for a small product I am creating.

The concern for health insurance is a huge issue for early retirement, especially when you have a family. I'm an eternal bachelor so that won't be a huge issue for me, so I can't truly comment on it.

I think all your advice is early retirement aligned but with the caveat to buffer for health insurance. I think early retirement has become so popular because the vast majority of Americans don't save for retirement and over-consume (which is not good nor bad but subjective to each person's internal purpose).
Relation definitions define types. Types have names. Tuple in a relation is an instantiation of the corresponding type. And we use singulars for class/types names in most programming systems (e.g. class Person vs class Persons).

What you say is true, but there are some other aspects of trust at play here. Locally, I observe City Warming of up to 30 degrees each day.

Verifying that "global warming is a real _problem_ and human activities are _net negative to the human experience_" is not as easy as you are suggesting, because I need to model more than temperature over time. Also need some idea of the accuracy of the raw data.

The group of people who trust that global warming is a problem correlate pretty highly with the group of people who want to shut down big chucks of our cheap energy production system and replace it with something expensive. To put people in charge who think that is acceptable is a huge leap of trust.

It is very easy to see why doomsayers are not treated as credible. We've seen a huge number of them, mostly they have been wrong and so far the cheap energy solution has been wildly luxurious and successful.

> what is the takeaway here?

You didn't seem to have the endurance to make it to the closing paragraph, so I've reproduced it here:

> I have new lessons in not stopping, after the election. If you are reading this, and you’re a writer, and you, like me, are gripped with despair, when you think you might stop: Speak to your dead. Write for your dead. Tell them a story. What are you doing with this life? Let them hold you accountable. Let them make you bolder or more modest or louder or more loving, whatever it is, but ask them in, listen, and then write. And when war comes—and make no mistake, it is already here—be sure you write for the living too. The ones you love and the ones who are coming for your life. What will you give them when they get there?

The author believes that writing, and especially writing in America, is devalued to such an extent that he personally feels a sense of loss and fear. His advice to himself and others is that writing and self-expression has real value outside of whatever the people around you ascribe to it.

Let me know if you want me to break it down any more.
Learning to use APIs for open source libraries is really where the power of creating quality custom apps fast and easy resides and a GUI laid on top of those is a very limiting factor.

I made my first app with one called "The Apple Media Tool" and another with it's successor, "iShell". Using those did help me understand how code worked when I was first learning but they also exposed the limitations of taking that route, and they're huge.

If I had an app that provided a GUI for all the features I might want or need now it would be bloatware that takes a very long time to learn how to use and I would still be limited to what it included.

The rub is, you don't always know what you need until you need it when building an app.

Learning how to use available APIs on the other hand has no such limits and allows you to drop them in and learn how to use them on a "Need to Know" basis, and to contribute to the projects that provide them.

That's really a pretty great way to build software.
I'd wager that has more to do with bankruptcy than with the markets inability to repurpose those assets. Additionally, if the reason they failed is because of a drop in foot traffic in the area, then it makes sense they aren't easily repurposed.

Regardless, the capital that would otherwise be invested in this poorly performing enterprise is now invested somewhere else, so everyone is better off.
I think we're actually saying the same thing from two different directions.

My concern is that companies that offer a hollow 401(k) are actually getting some kind of kickback for forcing all of their employees to one company as their retirement benefits manager, or to a specific subset of portfolio options with that company, and the employees have no effective recourse, because of the separate contribution limits.

If the limits were combined, there would be no reason whatsoever to insert the no-contribution employer as middleman into retirement planning, or even to deposit more into the employer-sponsored plan than the maximum matching amount. Most of the companies are implicitly saying "you're on your own after you retire", but the law still says you have to invest through your employer to min/max your retirement plan. Given that many of them will dump employees long before retirement age anyway, it makes less and less sense for any retirement account to inexplicably have an employer's corporate logo pasted onto it.

Agree with ecesena's advice above.

While there are lots of benefits to open-sourcing your project, there are also additional considerations to note. Generally, in order to create a successful open source project, you'll be adding a ton of additional work to your plate and greatly increase the scope of your side project. This is a non-exhaustive list, but off the top of my mind.. You'll want to add documentation your code/flows, set some general rules around contributions (code style, pull-request formatting, etc), be responsive to developers who jump in to help and have questions. Also, try to make your README as detailed, instructive, and organized as possible. Couldn't hurt to share some call outs for areas where you're looking for the most help as well.

Some other general advice: show why/how your project is a better solution to a given problem than other options in the market. It might also help to identify potential customers and help them integrate your project - see if they'd be willing to contribute and/or sponsor some development.

Good luck!

Does HomeDepot.com get to see where else you go on the Internet because they have tracking code on their site? No, they do not. They cannot obtain this data from the major tracking vendors (Facebook, Google etc.) either. Granted, the vendors themselves can often see cross-site behavior, but the individual sites using these trackers cannot and aren't given access to this information.

> These companies are just as much to blame, if not more, than Google itself.

However, exact same thing applies for Facebook and all the likes. If a website is entirely self-contained, nobody other than your ISP or your browser/OS may track you over there as you directly type its name out to the address bar.

If Facebook is to blame more than the websites putting their like button on their websites, then so is Google.

On top of this, many people use Google as a gateway to the Internet. Even for the websites that they are pretty sure about their domain names, people rather search for it on the google.com, and follow the link from there. This allows Google to track them, even when they do not use Chrome. Yet, many even do use Chrome, very likely tracking you even when you do not visit a website through google.com.

So Google isn't even dependent so much on the other websites using their analytics, definitely not as much as you state with:

> Google's ability to track users is 99% entirely due to companies like [...]

It would be interesting to know the breakdown of contributions of Analytics, google.com, Chrome, etc. to Google's tracking capabilities.

> Why is it you think that someone like the author would be able to code many times faster than they could develop software visually through Bubble?

Thinking about how things go together is the hard part of writing software. Every time I've ever used a visual interface to show that, I've had to spend additional time to "translate" what I'm building into what's actually happening on the layer underneath. The abstraction is too leaky to be of use to me.

It's possible that there is a visual language out there that's not so leaky, but I've not seen it. Granted I've not used Bubble.
FWIW, I remember a quote about Knuth and TeX, "He tried really not to make it a programming language, but ultimately he failed". I don't remember who said that.

It may seem a stretch to connect this will to power with the “illness” of scientific materialism, but I wonder. At the beginning of modern science, we bracketed purpose and meaning in order to see more clearly the workings of the impersonal parts of nature. And to gain power over the world “for the relief of man’s estate.” (Francis Bacon)

I’m an old physics student – still follow scientific developments (and like everyone am amazed by technology) – but over the years I’ve come to believe that there’s a devil’s bargain in several of the ways this has played out. Like Macbeth, many of us have moved from seeking power for human purposes to thinking that our subsequent knowledge reveals that there is no real purpose in the world.

I believe our world today is paying the price for the belief that there is no real meaning or purpose in the universe. That's why I'm interested in the ways we can find meaning, whether that is through philosophy or religion, and in reexamining why we came to believe there is no meaning in the first place.
Agreed. It's some mix of the XY problem plus the self-entitlement of "if I had the idea, then it should work."

Yet the classic HNer confuses this for inherent weaknesses in the underlying platform that they then need to share lest someone has something good to say about the platform. And they'll often be using words like "terrible", "garbage", and "I hate..."

The fact that you can get Linux kernel developers who rail strongly and vehemently against compilers because the compiler optimized it against what you said, which wasn't what was wanted, strongly suggests that it's not a matter of precision.

More specifically, people generally have a vague idea of what they want. While you could explain a fully precise mathematical model that corresponds to that idea, people don't really have a good way to know if the model is correct or if there is some hidden corner case that causes problems. So they accept the model until they find one case where it was wrong.
RSS never went away for me. Try FreshRSS[1], it's awesome. It works well on shared hosting and it runs on SQLite.
