> How is the charity and the government not the same entity?

Charities and municipal governments are legal fictions of the states. I do not know the specifics of how these charities are set up. I presume they are ownerless non-profits. (If not, the New Jersey legislature could simply create such an entity type.) Determining common control with municipalities will be tricky.

That they are creatures of the states, and not the federal government, is what will make the lawsuits interesting. The most realistic pathway for the IRS would be to argue these charities do not qualify as such under federal tax law. How they will do this, within the confines of the 10th Amendment and a haphazardly-written tax code, without hitting other charities, will be delicate and complicated.
No, it is normal for graduates with rich parents as a safety net to play act these traits. I think the comment mean actually having no fear, nothing to lose and no strong attachments.
The problem is that if you successfully rook put sellers in this way for some ungodly amount of money, they will never be able to pay out on your claim. Kinda like when all the big Wall Street Banks were caught out because AIG was threatening to go bankrupt and default on their CDS.

I am ambivalent about this. You often see people getting public credit for something that was actually done by a lot of people working together which is also not good. Maybe a team photo would be nice. My favorite stories are where you hear the perspective of the different contributors.
Same reasoning actually, they contribute more because they have more. Federal income tax is per person and progressive, so states with wealthier residents will always pay more.

Even a flat tax wouldn't change that.

Why are property taxes in NY state so high? I moved to upstate NY a few years ago for work, and while houses are cheaper than in CA, property taxes are far higher ($20K in property taxes per year for a $500K home). Some people I know are paying even $30-40K in property taxes per year. I was excited about the cheaper home prices in this area, but now that I am finally thinking about buying a home, it is fairly difficult if one includes the property taxes (without taking into consideration deduction schemes).
Seattle did not fall from the sky. These arguments were presumably valid at every phase of its growth. What’s special about now?
I really like this approach. You could even automate it where the 0–100ms queue's workers could sever the connection after 100ms and re-queue the message on the next level up, while also incrementing the timeout counter. You could do really interesting things by incrementing and decrementing a timeout counter... e.g., it gets decremented when the transaction completes under the line for the queue it's in. That could help with flap.
Reason has always decried impulsiveness!

Democracy seems appealing if you're insecure and/or naive enough to think that the next guy probably knows better and you're willing to rely on that as a rule.

The real world is many orders of magnitude more complex and idiosyncratic than most political thought expresses.

Admittedly, I didn't read TFA, but the headline is a glaringly obvious conclusion that nytimes is undoubtedly parading as some radical, innovative revelation.

In my (very limited) experience, the fewer logical and polariZed jumps a person is willing to make, the more rational that person is, or at least that thought they're pursuing at that time. People jumping down a spectrum of subjectivity are not engaged to a paradigm of any reason or rational or logical thought, it's all emotional and egotistical. One claim never begets another, only evidence.
“A big factor here is a loss in self-confidence. It takes faith to move.”

When I first started dating and generally getting to know other American families on a more adult and intimate level, it often shocked me how low everyone's confidence and motivation levels were. There was always some looming fear of failure, of being wrong, or getting hurt, it was paralyzing.

Our culture, the media, the education system, it all cultivates fear, doubt, helplessness, and dependency. Without exceptional influences, we generally produce scared consumers.

My parents are both immigrants, and it's had a substantial impact, good and bad. Confidence, motivation, willingness to take on challenges and risks, are not problems for me. But the flip side of that is I'm often quite frustrated by my contemporaries, as I tend to expect the same. These traits seem like part of the bare minimum of being an adult from my perspective, and the average American just seems like an overgrown child in this context. It's quite frustrating.

Just wanted to add; one of the things I've most enjoyed about working at tech startups is how effectively they tend to filter out these people.

When California raised their income tax several years ago, they reduced federal revenue because of SALT. For example, $1 billion in new state taxes would reduce federal revenue by ~$300 million. That shortfall must then be covered by the whole country.

A friend who was working with a large American CDN asked a similar question to his CEO around 5-6 years ago during an All-Hands. He wanted to know why the company was not interested in trying out an AWS like services. The answer given was - First, it was not the company's expertise and second, they were not going to spend dollars on a unknown market. No risks to the gross margin was the mantra.

In comparison, Asian companies tend to be sprawling, essentially having multiple operations. If there is a missing market, they will rather build it themselves than wait for a competitor.

I used to have a spreadsheet just exactly like this, w/ as many subscriptions. But nowadays that I feel inclined to use technology and the internet less (hopefully it doesn't come around and haunt me when I finish my undergraduate degree), I have canceled most of the subscriptions.

Otherwise, I also used to be a monthly donor to Watsi. I love the information, timeline, and follow up they have about the patients. They also sent me a lovely hand-written letter (may I add with my name hand-written!) and booklet once that I still have - think it was around Christmas time too.

There is truth to this. As a rural Illinois boy I traveled to Chicago to intern and it just wasn't my cup of tea...plain and simple. People are different, culture is different. In my town in the "sticks" we have brown people and immigrants--plenty (will come as big shock to some who think we're all just inbred corn eaters out here). That is not the difference...to get that mandatatory political correctness dance out of the way. Rather it is simply the way people relate to each other, attitudes, community or what passes for it.

Looking at your social media (why do you need a pinterest anyway..) the pinned post is from 2016, so it looks like it is dead or outdated. Each social media account is more or less dead as well.

I think personally it is this:

You are motivated to get a lot of bang for the buck. While the derivative of your function is high, you’re feeling you are making “great progress”.

Then the thing decelerates and now you have a lot of niggling details to iron out. Each one takes a while.

You look around and see that other problems have higher BANG to BUCK ratio. You naturally want to do those.

When Mississippi cuts benefits for its residents, my federal tax dollars pay for their disability insurance. When West Virginia fails to regulate its industry, educate its residents or build infrastructure, my tax dollars subsidise their choices. TL; DR It is odd to talk about subsidy when they generally flow from those hit by the SALT cap to those benefiting from this bill.

To arrive at $440 billion, IBD argues that the tax plan cut tax revenue by $1.69 trillion but caused GDP growth producing $1.1 trillion in new revenue. However, the $1.69 trillion figure already factored in GDP growth, so they double counted.[1] I'm surprised that they made such a basic mistake. You should read less IBD and more NYT.

[1] CBO Appendix A, page 93: "Legislative changes... led CBO to increase its projection of the cumulative deficit over the 2018–2027 period by $2.7 trillion. Those changes were offset in part by the effects of revisions to CBO’s economic forecast, which led to $1.0 trillion in reductions to projected deficits, almost entirely because of increased projections of revenues."

Not to mention the mountains of leveraged buybacks and leveraged buyouts.

As a kid I desperately wanted a CDi, and then an Amiga CD32 and then a 3DO. I never got any of them. Having saved enough to finally buy a 3DO I was derailed at the last minute by my dad who didn't want me spending so much on a games machine. He made a deal that if I didn't buy it he'd splash out for a new PC. That was the PC I learned to code on and the decision that led me to this career, and I'm glad he talked me out of it.

Procrastination is most often a self-defense mechanism for coping with your fear of your work not being good enough. The procrastination creates an “out,” allowing you to excuse yourself if your work isn’t excellent.

The corollary of being privacy conscious is NOT being stupid. Folks may be privacy conscious and all power to them to navigate the web/mobile world by making respective choices.

Categorizing people who make these trade offs as less smart is missing the point - and probably cynical since you can't accept them.

Maybe they have processes where it is a one-click thing to setup a new site like this. With a combination of 'set in their ways' using a static builder might include setting up a new build system or fiddling with new CSS setups and so on.

E.g. I'm an iOS developer and if I am to prototype something, I often just start from an already built app rather than doing it inside a prototyping tool. Because it saves me time for what I want out of it.

How can I engage again? I’m not sure it’s possible
Seems a number of these questions pop up every few weeks, so maybe I can get some perspective.

I’m 37 and live in Europe. I fell out of society in my teens due to abuse and never managed to get a grip on the working world. After sporadic manual jobs in my late teens I had a breakdown, and I haven’t worked since.

I’ve taken courses over the years on various subjects, and even got part way through a degree from the OPen University. I read for hours a day, and have taught myself basic coding.

I’m thinking that finding work as a developer or any type of IT role after 17 years of not working will be....tough. I do have some hope remaining, or I wouldn’t be making this post.

In my situation what would you do? I have a small amount of money to live on each month, but it only covers the basics. I’ve had to summon the courage to post this, so please have some empathy when replying.
No, it isn't. It's what lets you, and everything else, live, instead of freezing to death.
As a general rule, if you ever think an adversary is is doing something unbelievably stupid for marginal gain, you should be worried, because it’s a good indication that you’re the stupid one and going to make a stupid mistake.

They either had nothing to do with it, or they did have something to do with it and it was for good reasons (good for them, not us) that we don’t understand. But them doing it because they are stupid is probably not one of the explanations.
I agree around the desired outcomes regarding readability and side effects, but it's not like other languages can't be used in this manner. If you're an OO-ist and you design good interfaces with good contracts, the 'million ways involving half a dozen loops' can be very quickly limited in scope to a couple of methods in a small class.

That's not to say that it always happens, and certainly some less, uh, experienced developers will write terrible code. But they'll write terrible code in Haskell as well (or no working code at all, which has been my experience at least once).

I'd consider myself very comfortable with maps, folds, filters and zips. I wouldn't consider myself super fluent with their use in Haskell, which definitely contributes to my own struggles with the language.

But for something like the canonical quicksort example in Haskell, it takes me quite a while to figure out whether it's actually implementing quicksort by the book, or whether it's implementing something that sounds like quicksort but isn't. This is because I have to map the declaration to the underlying implementation when it matters. Probably more often than not it doesn't matter at all as long as the code works and isn't causing problems (which is where the functional primitives are fantastic), but I do find that digging deeper into a more complex functional algorithm can be a difficult task.

This is because you have to think about how every part might work behind the scenes. Am I doing something stupid like mapping my whole data set with a computationally intensive function? Is one of the innocent-looking predicates in my list comprehension actually some super intensive function that's had an operator overload? Am I going to be applying this predicate to the entirety of a massive list where in an imperative context I would have a really obvious switch case or set of ifs, a clear non-symbol invocation of reallyExpensiveFunction, and exited my loop early?

It's a little difficult to describe I guess, but for me reading [what I believe to be] idiomatic Haskell code at a high level is reasonably straightforward, if somewhat slow due to the compactness, but actually understanding what that code is doing can be incredibly difficult.

In some ways it's the same type of issue I have against liberal use of recursion. It might be reasonably easy to describe a recursive algorithm, but to really get in and understand it requires a much deeper understanding that's often easily more difficult than understanding its imperative cousin. There are real reasons why comp sci students struggle with it.
