That's the real problem. Capital gains taxes are at historic lows since the Bush administration [1]. They should be bracketed like income.

So what's the solution? Can we get the global economy to change course and can we get most people in the West to change their destructive habits?

How are you preparing for such future? Move north and become a prepper?
I totally agree with you, there should be a self-hosted option. I'd love it if the Google Play API was sufficiently reverse-engineered to just install a modified version of their software to point to my own server.

I've asked for open-source/self-hosted solutions before, and a few people here responded. One of the solutions looks like it promises to do what I want, though I haven't had a solid chance to look at it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19555899
The problem, I think, is in the question "worth". To me, it refers to a topic or idea that I would enjoy writing about, but one that others would also enjoy reading about. What's the point of writing if nobody reads any of it? I like to use Google Adwords' keyword ideas tool to find ideas that people seek out, then I pick and choose what I like. This is a great method especially if your blog is concerned with SEO and getting search engine traffic.

You're right that open source had been a thing for quite some time in 1998. GNU was started in 1983 after all.

But I respectfully disagree that open source was "obvious" in 1998. Hell, at that time, one could argue it was not obvious for a lot of people how much the Internet and computers would alter our lives. Open source was the least obvious part of quite a few a mind-bending paradigm shifts.
Maybe because he doesn't want to see people who are like him but with better luck (i.e. those who don't graduate into a recession) not get economically shot in the kneecaps.

If you adapt using tmux then you are free to pick whatever terminal you want because tabs / split panes are done very well in tmux.

For example I tried nearly every terminal on Windows and ultimately use wsltty because tmux offers nearly instant tabs and split panes, buffer searching and everything else you could want in a terminal.

There are multiple solutions to this. For example if you'd want to call a business, they would have the working hours presented on their website, like 20 - 04. If they are in a different timezone then how would you know what time is that in your time?

And if you want to call friends, then a friendly message like "Hey, when are you going to be available for chat?" would solve most of your problem. I usually don't like when people call me out of blue. And also, if someone has bad news they will probably call me anytime anyway, be it 4 in the morning, or 7 in the afternoon.

Also, you mention Bangkok is +14, and you have 11AM, but this assumes that you remember the offset. How is it different from remembering that for example in Bangkok the sun comes up at 7PM?
Remind me again of that time when simply and directly trying to attack very complex sociopolitical problems has worked?

In fact, trying to directly "solve" complex systems like these with lots of variables, as if they were just "problems", never works (regardless of area).

So while this may be a good idea or it may be a bad idea, it's definitely not going to "work" on its own.

(and i get how hard it is to sell people on the idea that no, you will not just do a thing and have it solve all the problems, instead you are only trying to get the system moving in the right direction, and then adaptively try to do things that keep it where you want it. But that's at least got a chance)
how do you then explain the period from 1925 (post war reductions) to 1940 where the top tax rate was increased to finance government during the great depression?

The stores are more sterile and the employees and service is more "clinical" and less "hands on."

I miss the original stores' refurbished/discount tables/bin they used to have. You could find great deals on those tables..

Oh.. one other thing that annoys the hell out of me about the stores an service. I bought a new iphone8, I asked if they could transfer the iphone5 data+ apps to my new phone. They said no, do it yourself.. I was pissed. A damn tech company, that sells a portable cpu for $700+ dollars and they won't perform a data transfer?

It's probably not a great comparison to compare the theoretical numbers of Frontier to the achieved numbers of the green 500. The achieved flops is pretty much always considerably lower than the theoretical flops. Titan is a 27 PFLOPS machine that achieves 17.6 PFLOPS, sequoia is a 20 PFLOPS machine that achieves 17, summit is a 200 PFLOPS machine that achieves 143, ...

~ 37 GFLOPS/W is probably a better projection if we assume (out of nowhere) that the theoretical/achieved ratio of Frontier is comparable to Summit (75%). Still very impressive.

One way is to make the check-in person more than a dumb data enterer. My iPhone suddenly stopped getting any carrier signal one day. I took it to the Apple store that evening because I needed to go out of town the next day, and I had to have a working phone. I checked in at the front of the store and waited 2.5 hours for my turn with a Genius. The fix was to press the very specific "reset network settings button" (which isn't under Cellular settings, it's under General->Reset). I was relieved it was such a simple fix, but it was ridiculous to wait over 2 hours to press the right button. The check-in person should ask what you've tried and do the most basic triage to avoid this kind of problem congesting the store.

Doing this through any government or government-like organization is wrong. If your proposal is about a nonprofit group of people doing that as a sort of public service, then I'm sorry

I agree with the rest

In my country and IMHO generally in discussions "public services" (akin to "public utilities") are provided by governments.
Korean music is more popular in foreign countries than Japanese music, and their dramas may also be more popular, but manga, anime, light novels and Japanese games are so huge that there's no real competition going on here. I think many people overestimate the importance and popularity of Kpop.

By "air quality" I believe he is saying that an extra benefit to being carbon neutral is that their fuel combusts more purely than fuel made from crude oil. This means less SOx, NOx, particulates, etc.
lol what? Literally like all of human development is because somebody didn't want to sit around and wait for the government to solve their problems. This is such a crazy sentiment. It's literally the silly conservative talking point that liberals want the government to solve their problems.
because people don't vote purely for self interest. Maybe you are aspirational and want to earn that much some day. Maybe you believe it best for government to be less a part of daily life than more. Maybe you think higher rates will cause successful people to look for lower rate countries to take their talents. Or maybe, you think it is morally wrong for people to vote to grab money lawfully earned from others just because they can.
> If an Apple exec wants to bring back the dedicated area for the Genius Bar, how does one avoid the logistical nightmare of those lines?

Maybe I misunderstand the issue but the problem is not lack of table space but the lack of free personnel. in that case increasing the surface only make for longer logistic times and the risk of being missed if you are outside their field of attention.
For me the apple store has basically come to mean:

- Very long lines/overcrowded store

- It's all full of Apple Watches and stuff like that and trivial luxury accessories

- Not enough Macs anymore

- None of the really cool displays they used to have like a Mac Pro set up for music studio or video work complete with a camera or midi controller or other instrument plugged in.

- For some reason they always smell like BO. Either it's the employees or customers they attract, there is something odd about the design of the store that screws with HVAC, or they're not cleaning well. Very weird thing.

So yah, not much luster. Even when they introduce new products these days I don't really want to go into the store and try them cause the experience is bad enough it outweighs the interest to check out the new product.

It is weird cause they are such copycats but I think the MS stores are better run now.
It would incentivize the purchase of pre-tax goods and services. Once you hit the top rate, anything your personal LLC could purchase (on your behalf) would be effectively subsidized. For example, the hiring of full-time personal assistants would become much more economically attractive.
You mean economy of scale or transaction costs such as the government being able to negotiate drug prices when everyone is on Medicare (or some other version of nationalized healthcare) so that drug companies can't raise insulin and epipen prices 10,000% with no improvements to the drugs?
I think part of it is that Apple doesn’t have many interesting new products. I used it be excited about iPhones or iPads but now they just release variations if the same thing I know already pretty well. Why go to a store? And the wait times for support are way too long.
You're really telling me that because you can't become a bazillionaire, you'll have no motivation to make money? You can structure a progressive tax such that the 83% rate only kicks in for income above $10M. Maybe you pay 60% from $1M-$10M. I think that's fair; it leaves plenty of money in your pocket to live a comfortable life well above the means of most people.

Furthermore, your ability to make millions is only possible because of the services provided by government (education, infrastructure, security, financial regulation).

Plenty of people are motivated by much smaller numbers. The average take-home of the top 1% is between $400k and $700k. We're talking about a bigger tax on the 0.1% (>$1M/yr), and a huge tax on the 0.01% (>8M/yr). Again, those brackets are only able to achieve outsized returns because they have educated workers and a stable legal/regulatory system. Because they achieve outsized benefit, they should pay a proportionally higher share.

If those amounts are enough to incentivize 99.99% of the country, and you're still making more than they are, I'm sure you'll survive. If not, someone else will take your place.
Aaaah no, no no no. Hiring based on reputation and recommendations is also terrible, and not just because it's tautological; it also doesn't work. The industry is full of people with sterling reputations gradually failing upwards.

While Brave is building from the core to the periphery, i.e. creating something based on solid fundamentals, Gab is taking Brave and polishing it a bit to their liking.

Due to this I suspect that the Gab browser will only get a following in a certain sphere, i.e. ideologigcal Gab followers. Otherwise you can simply use Brave or Chrome.

There was criticism by Eich et al. who noted that Gab is sending all kinds of data back home.

Gab seems to be focused on providing a service to their followers, without having the actual technical expertise to create something solid based on true privacy.

(I.e. it doesn't matter when we collect the data because we are actually on the right side of the fence)

Nevertheless I am excited to see where all of this is going and I welcome any additional browser, which is good for creating a competitive market.

The fact that Gab can, without much knowledge, "create" a browser interface within days shows how great Chromium is for the advancement of the open web.

The only thing that needs to be solved is the governance of chromium with it becoming the de facto standard on the web.

This is a distortion of history. No one paid these rates. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 eliminated, reduced, or modified the deductions the people that would've paid these rates were previously allowed. Additionally, the wealthiest individuals typically do not receive much wage income relative to their capital gains.

There are reasonable arguments to be made about increasing or decreasing taxes, or adding new types taxes or removing other ones, but this meme of "our posted tax brackets used to be higher, and everything was fine, therefore we need that again" is simply untrue.
Yea just to clarify, I'm not trying to compare it to owning a PC. It's still leaps and bounds better. But still the quality in my experience has gone down.

Adapted from a much better article here:
https://voxeu.org/article/taxing-1-why-top-tax-rate-could-be...

The caption on Figure 2 in this article claims that there's zero correlation between top bracket tax cuts and GPD growth. My eyes must be playing tricks on me because I see a possible correlation. I think this might be a good example of conclusions in search of evidence. There must be other ways to break down the economic data to prove or disprove the hypothesis in an unbiased way, if anyone cared to do so.
My work has a pretty strict Internet filter in place, but Wikipedia is fair game. I hop around random articles while my project builds, and I save things that interest me. Then I write about them later. No focus on technology or any specific area, just general trivia and curiosities. That's "worth" enough to me to keep motivation and interest up. http://chrisgermano.dev if you're interested. I have about 100 Wikipedia pages on my to-write list, and 3-4 posts in progress.
Their genius bar is just slowing down since they want you to buy new instead of repair what you have. Not always the case but I get that feeling. That and “IT at home” requests seem to flood the bar now.
That’s plainly incorrect. 83% of my lifetime wealth might pay for 0.1% of a suspension bridge, but 0.1% of a bridge by itself does not carry 0.1% the cars that a completed bridge carries. The incomplete bridge carries no cars.
Property taxes as we know them are levied by states and localities... whether the feds can do the same is the question.

7 figures is a lot, but it's not really uncommon. Credit Suisse estimates there are 17 million millionaires in the US. I think you may be under-estimating how wealthy the people around you are. I know I used to think it was unbelievable that people could earn well into the six figures as individual contributors, until I found out how much some of my friends were earning.
Dude, this isn't aimed at you.

It's aimed at wealthy people. People who have so much money that they write the rules against not only you and the rest of the 99% of suckers in the world, but also for the rich, who make up 1.5% of the world. The rich laugh at us suckers, but actual wealthy people -- the .5% -- squash them like bugs when they try to skirt the rules as well.

See Bernie Madoff, the college cheating folks, etc. Rich people are just as screwed when they try to beat the wealthy.

They're the reason you can't make money and that you've been programmed to think you're the target of this.

Oh and those taxes you complain about? You likely went to public schools built on eminent domain land and drove on publicly funded roads or used public transit. Taxes pay for that. All of it. If we taxed actual wealthy people -- those with connections and inherited wealth -- these conversations would be way easier and you probably wouldn't have had to work so hard to enjoy those privileges or freak out at articles like this.

How to Interpret IMU Sensor Data for Dead-Reckoning: Rotation Matrix Creation
No, if you're a serious professional cyclist.

There is huge difference between driving in front and driving in second place. Between having one good teammate with you and not having one. Between having a good day and a just-so day.

How can you ensure others do as much of the 'upfront' work as you? How can you try to prevent others from benefiting from your teammates? How can you prevent one just-so day from ruining a multi-day tour?

That all requires communication, negotiation, deals. Sometimes the deal is just the default: every few km we switch positions. Your behaviour is your acknowledgement of the deal. Sometimes the deal is more intricate.

Example: you broke away with two competitors who are in the same team. If you work together you are 90% likely to take all three places on the podium. You can offer them places 1 and 3. If they try to shake you off they will probably succeed, but both you and them are less likely to make the podium at all. What do you do? Take an 90% chance on a second place or try for a maybe 30% chance to become first?

What if second place nets you 50K?
Why is that? Is it driver-related? Or is it that RHEL is more for stability rather than speed?
> Browser extensions aside, if we've learn anything over the past two years of 'Online', it's that this simply isn't true. You can't 'debate' hate speech away.

When debating online, there's really two groups you need to keep in mind - the person/people you're debating, and the people reading the debate. Reading without interacting is generally accepted to be far more common than actually interacting, so that's probably the largest group. So even if you can't convince the person you're debating, you might be able to convince those who are just reading and don't have a strong attachment to either side.

Or you can give up, attempt to ban the badthink, and admit that your ideas do not have merit. Because that's what a lot of the watchers will interpret that refusal to engage as.
