You're missing my point. These taxes contribute to state budget and then the government passes a law about the state budget for the next year (I'm european). There they specify purpose of various amounts of money - and a significant percentage of that is road maintenance, construction, etc.

If I pay all these taxes (thus contribute to the state budget as I should) I shouldn't pay for a parking space because the government is supposed to build that from my taxes.

And no, I'm not making anything up. There is zero reason why the government should build roads if not for sharing the whole infrastructure and providing everyone with the opportunity to use their car to go where they need (and, of course, park there - it'd be useless otherwise). There is huge precedent with public parking spaces literally everywhere, because European cities simply don't allow people to have their own parking places. Of course that backfires now because this made sense in the 80's but not today.

I'm not saying I'm against car regulation etc, that's another discussion. My point is that the government definitely should not take my money for what they don't do.
I don't think that's true either.

When my 3yo kid takes a toy from another kid without asking and I tell him he has to give it back, that's socialization and that's not the state.
Sorry, that must be really difficult. If it's not too painful to talk about it, would you be willing to share how you lost everything? What would you have done differently?

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the reason I don’t switch to Firefox is their lack of AppleScript support, and I’m certain several other automators share that feeling. Without AppleScript support, Firefox is unusable as the day-to-day browser for many of us.

And that’s just one of its problems on macOS. Every time there’s a Firefox thread on HN, I see people complaining about performance or lackluster support for a macOS feature, such as Keychain.

Firefox isn’t losing because people don’t care about privacy; it’s losing because it sucks so much in certain areas, many of us who want to use it just can’t bear to.
Apart from investment advice you'll also need legal advice to know how to comply with your fiscal obligations and structure things in the best possible way (including estate planning). So you need at least an accountant and a lawyer. The investment part is much less urgent.

What are you doing that you have a take-home of $500K?
Buy a sophisticated wealth totem, like a million-dollar painting from a canonical modernist artist (Warhol will do if you want to play safe).

Place the painting in a central location in your home. Don't spend on anything else extragavant. The painting-totem will act as a constant comforting reminder of your available wealth, and is also a solid diversifying investment in an asset class that's popular among the wealthiest 0.01% but unavailable through funds.

(Also, don’t take investment advice from strangers on the Internet.)

Coincidentally I started reading on D last weekend. There are lots of things that are appealing to me (at least in theory since I haven't used them): UFCS, modules, pure, @safe, contracts, support for "D-scripts" using shebang, etc.

Yes, I totally agree. Do Not Track is just another signal much like being logged out.

These are deliberate violations and the people working for Google/Facebook must know that.

They are deliberately working around attempts to stop them tracking people. They must know that.
#1 pet peeve of people with large personal wealth is their aversion to being called "rich". You're rich, embrace it, own it, even if you didn't earn it.

I was once hired to build a website that catered to people that I would call "rich". I remember the horror on their faces when I casually asked "do rich people do X?"
I assume the OP has to be making about at least $130k salary, approximately $200k in total compensation. That gives 42 years at the current lifestyle at a lifespan of 85 years. That assumes wages track inflation. Lifespan should be higher by then too. I'd consider maintaining lifestyle as comfortable retirement.
Thanks, Well... IMO Being interdependent is not much a wrong thing until such interdependency became too unbalanced between too many that depend on a subject and to few subjects but to evolve we need few things: diversity is one of them, without diversity interaction goes down and without interaction good ideas hardly came up and spread.

Another problem is actual kind of private polarization, I mean if we end up after an "evolution cycle" with few universities that essentially hold, build and spread knowledge is not much a problem as long as universities are public/open it's only a matter of how distance we have to travel to study well. But when knowledge start to be concentrated in private hands things change for worse.

Imaging few scenarios: what if we all communicate trough $bigEnterprise services and $bigEnterprise have extensive data mining knowledge? How easy for them became knowing anything that going to happen between anyone else and so direct their investments for their own good possibly against anyone else interest? What if our communications relay on "aggregators" from such big subject so that it can spread certain news and reduce diffusion of other news?

An ancient proverb say that power corrupt, when we get "corrupted" as a society it's dangerous but It's a thing we can handle between us all, when we get "natural dictatorship" because of centralization well... It's easy to understand that's not good for us.

Younger people tend to have both smaller incomes and smaller families, so it's neither anything new nor surprising. Give them 15 years.
Realistically 8M (is this after taxes??) is not much money these days. Considering rising health care costs, real estate, college fees (you have 2 kids) this is "nothing".

Example: If you want your kids to be college debt/mortgage free when they grow up (dont give them the money now, rather they have that ability when time comes) - you have 2 kids, figure by the time they are adults average starter condo price in a major city will be 1.5 million? So 3 mil goes towards their mortgage. Another million to pay for education costs/support studies. Oooops 1/2 is gone already. You have 4Mil left - You need 2Mil to retire. Now you have 2Mil left. If you want to buy a place somewhere nice and warm to retire - figure 1Mil to buy a property there and another million to service that house (taxes, repairs etc).

So here 8Mil is gone its simply not much money and is nothing to freak out about. Just sit down and divide it all up towards your long term goals.

and Congrats! Its a big deal to be able to have your kids mortgage/college debt free and be able to have a somewhat worry free retirement.

>Superheroes go all the way back to Ancient Greek stories of gods and demigods (...) The idea that superheroes are a modern American invention is just ludicrous.*

No, they don't. Heroes and gods/creatures with special powers indeed are ancient.

Superheroes are a specific thing, within a specific culture.

It's not only that ancient gods didn't were spandex, it's a whole lot of cultural preconceptions and genre characteristics that define the superhero stories (not to mention the way those are produced and consumed).

How to Convert a Large Amount of UPC Codes
I didn't mean to imply outright plagiarism everywhere all the time. I think there are many ways to get inflated numbers.

If a PI has 3 collaborator PIs and each PI has 4 students writing a paper every three months then the PIs can get 48 publications a year. Over 20 years, there's your O(1000) publications in a model with no substantial PI time contribution.

Given teaching loads, home life, university admin, academic duties like reviews I'd be surprised if a senior academic got 3 days per week to do research. I'd say at that rate the 4 first-author level contribution publications per year model would be optimistic. So a more realistic cap on the quality work someone could do in 20 years might be 80 publications.
> The trend is towards more and more software being licensed under licenses such as MIT.

Which is exactly my point.

Give the tip of the iceberg for free, charge for everything else and give as little back to upstream, if anything.
I understand if clinical staff are actually coming to check on you. In many cases you may need to be checked on every few hours to prevent some decline in condition from going unnoticed. What I don't get is why some hospitals (seems American hospitals don't do it this badly) won't let you sleep when they aren't even coming to check on you.

Last Halloween in Toronto I got a (spooky) appendectomy, and although they were not coming to check on me, I could not sleep because I was in a loud room (the patient beside me had his whole immediate family watching over him, and my mind was awake, trying to decide whether they were speaking Brazillian or Portuguese) with bright overhead lights. I normally sleep with earplugs, but in the sort of rush I was, getting in the ambulance, I neglected to bring a pair. I managed to flag down a nurse to get me a pair of earplugs after five hours of trying to get to sleep.

If they have to come check on you, they could at least make it possible to rest when they're not checking on you.

I read a lot of posts on Reddit bemoaning Tumblr's decision to stop carrying adult content. A lot of people there and here feel that this decision spells the end of the company. That may be the case, but I never understood how Tumblr was profiting from hosting all that adult content to begin with. I presume they're selling ads, in which case disassociating themselves from anything that could be considered pornographic seems like reasonable business logic.

I'm not questioning whether Tumblr's decision is fair, or morally right or wrong. I just don't see how Tumblr was generating enough revenue to cover their costs to begin with. Is image hosting really that cheap?
First observation every few hours is fine, but their is little coordination between hospital workers so people are often interrupted multiple times an hour which cuts the time for the next interruption.

That’s cost effective for the hospital but simply not viable longer term. To be clear waking someone up every 2.5 - 3 hours is very different from waking them up every 2.5 hours and another 2+ random times during the night.

As long as somone is only in the ICU for 72 hours it’s not a huge deal, but start talking a week and it’s a significant issue.
Yes, the UI is bugged. The 'send message' function for instance doesn't seem to work at all. I had to hunt the person I was trying to message from LI and send them a DM through that.

Additionally, it contains less active people at least in my geography when compared to 1 or 2 years ago.
Browsers have to worry about cache pollution already, I'm sure existing heuristics are more than capable of handling this use case.

I've seen good financial advice in the comments. Other than that you now have more value of answering the question: if money would not be an objection what would you do?

In my case: I'd be learning more things, helping more people in ways that makes me feel good but are still productive. I'd also do more things that I'd find fun. I'd still enforce a relatively strict rhythm because I know what happens when you lose that.

I might become a musician and go all out with that.

If you never had an urge or yearning to do anything else than your life right now, then why change it? Live the life you want to live and try to stay sensible / use common sense.

I realized after the fact that the more useful terms would be “orthogonal projection” and “perspective projection”. The novelty of the orthogonal projection at hand is that it’s projecting (flattening) in a cylindrical space.

With an orthogonal projection, you can usually think of it as taking two planes and squashing whatever object your want to project between them. In the scenario here, the ambient space has been wrapped up, so one of these squashing planes has been wrapped into a cylinder, and the other has been wrapped into a line (the degenerate case).

In either event, an orthogonal projection is indeed a collection of orthogonal projections of one dimension less. But that’s not really the whole picture.
Road usage is taxed proportionally by gas taxes (and sometimes even tolls), Parking is not, because some people park on private property.

The rail network is also supported by taxes, yet train tickets still cost money. Cultural events are also often supported by taxes, yet they charge admission.
Yep. I've got an attorney standing right next to me saying they are.

There are rules and incentives in the 'Academia' game. Among important things: get published, get cited, get your name out there. I am cynically inclined to think the 'system' fosters this, and some people have gotten good at it.

Unfortunately it's become less about 'science and knowledge' and more about getting the grants to survive and eventually be able to work on 'real' research.

However I do not believe this is specific to Academia, any 'game' can be hacked (at least for some time).
That still sounds like we have a problem with Google/Facebook and not with Microsoft turning it on by default.

The default behaviour for Google/Facebook should be not to track people that aren't logged in to their services.

That should go double for people who are not just neutral but explicitly telling them "really, don't track me" in a header.

There is no justification of "we're just improving services" for people who are telling you "I don't want to use your service and I don't want to help you improve your services."
Tumblr is truly dead without NSFW stuff. Nobody cares for anything else in it (except you and 10 others, outlier, to pre-empt your reaction).

My focus on the most relevant technologies for Web, coupled with my ability to work with diverse teams on new ideas, and my experience producing quality software leads to successful projects. Happily working remotely for much of my career, I can help quickly create Minimum Viable Products or enhance legacy systems, establishing long-term high quality and enjoyable products that solve real-world problems. I'm a quick study, able to interface with complex technologies, using and interested in practical NLP, web scraping, browser-driven testing, React Native, Machine Learning, Node-RED, and participatory content development. I also have extensive experience and interest in Java, systems management, and linked data. I've just come out of a 3.5 year project setting up the foundation for a successful startup, and would like to find part-time or contract based work. I highly value the intent of the project, the people I'm working with, and what's learned. Thanks!

> It's not just that our decisions (will) are random instead of predetermined by a cascade of material interactions.

You seem somewhat knowledgeable about this topic, so maybe you or someone else can answer this.

Why can't free will just be a complex system feedback loop and name for the way we humans perceive our own decision making process in this loop. I mean why can it not be that "free will" is the decision making process which is influenced by unconscious processes and in turn influences those unconscious processes? It could be deterministic and random or the universe could turn out to work differently at some level and it really wouldn't matter.

Is something like this a standard view in this whole debate on Free Will?
Well see that's what I can't wrap my head around. If it's mainly a labor and testing cost, one would think recovery wouldn't yield much benefit because testing takes the majority of the budget. Since they are recovering, obviously the materials are extremely valuable, despite needing to be recertified.

If that's the case, what makes the materials so expensive?
I can't link any right now, I've reading few on paper and deducted others from news: try only looking at actual mass of studies for "sustainable city", essentially NO ONE of them sustain that actual cities works/are sustainable, and substantially anyone try to find a "sustainable city" model with many different draconian changes to actual model.

Same goes for many "green buildings" innovation that keeps popping around and generally result in failure from "communist buildings" to "integrated social buildings".

Also simply look for and feel on your skin the quality of life in cities than in countyside/the riviera. And in dense countries vs far less dense one.

Sounds like you have enough to live off of, with a little planning. Enjoy the time you get to spend with your family. Find a few things that interest you, taking some random classes, try new stuff. Were I in your shoes, I'd buy a home with enough dirt to build a shop and I'd tinker.
Joe Rogan Experience #1211 – Dr. Ben Goertzel
I've always assumed that the failure rate for handing off care to another person and the rate because of long hours must go in favor of long hours. I don't have anything to back this up except the MCAT being designed to check how you perform when tired. Now with electronic records I've been wondering if long hours are still be necessary, assuming I'm right about the failure rates.

I'm sorry about your mother in law regardless.
Indeed. Focus on what's important, like family.
As I said, every year the state budget is separated to different purposes; in Europe here is no connection between what the tax is and what budget it will fill - everything is put to one money "bucket" (of course except for local taxes, similar process is used at local governments) and then the budget is created and that budget specifically includes public parking.

According to our constitution every person is equal, so why am I forced to pay 1 million CZK (45k USD, cost of building a parking spot - needs to be underground because of space constraints) more for an apartment just because I live in Prague? The government has simply decided that they don't want to do their job in this city while they happily do it literally all around the rest of the country, that is fair?

Why other cities or happier people in the rest of Prague can get public parking spaces with no further payments (in very few places there is a yearly fee, but that is okay, I would pay), and why calling it unfair is wrong?

I'm perfectly happy with people being forced to build their spaces on their property and I'm even completely fine with people not being able to have a car - but I'm definitely not going to pay for parking and then be happy with not getting any.
Trading driven from a spreadsheet brings back horrible memories of my earliest days on Wall Street. Excel was usually hacked in the most grotesque ways: tick data coming in, updating cells and signals and driving actual orders out the other end. Add to the fact that you're running on a desktop computer thats already struggling with a dozen other applications consuming market data, CPU cycles and driving 6 monitors...

I was usually called in to debug these things. My approach was always super minimalist... How do I make the 1 change that will get this all back on its feet again? .... without looking at any of the VBA or the weird DLLs lurking in the shadows.

Having said all that - Google Sheets is actually a different beast. I still wouldn't trade through it. Also, I've been eyeing Alpaca for a while - I like what they're doing. Best of luck to them....
