CEOs are probably a bad example for your point, because stock awards are generally taxed as income, not capital gains: https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoinegara/2016/09/01/apple-ce...

> However, the day Cook was awarded his multi-year payday Apple immediately withheld and sold 656,117 of Cook’s shares to cover his tax bill. All told, Apple sold $70.9 million in Cook’s stock at a price of $108.03, equivalent to or 52.1% of Cook’s total $135 million performance award.

You’re talking about a relatively small number of investors who derive most of their income from capital gains. (Capital gains account for just about 6% of total personal income.) It just so happens that many prominent examples (Trump, Buffet, Romney) happen to fall into that group. But even among CEOs, professional like Jack Welch (who pays over 30%) will take a lot or most of their compensation as ordinary income.

I used to use this and a few other open source firmwares on my iPod when I was at high school, so I could listen to FLACs. When my school friends (I was in the musical crowd) saw it, they all wanted it too, so I'd install it for them. That would've been in 2009-2010. Those were the days.
Consumer turing cards are about the closest you get right now. They're pretty reasonable bang for buck for training. They have tensor cores - not quite as many as Ulta, but the entire chip runs at a higher clock rate and the price/performance is better if you don't mind losing a gig or so of RAM and some memory bandwidth.

Slow boiling frog.

Given the history of what Apple did in the past, I think it's very naive that this is the last restriction Apple will add.

First the user could run any app.

Then you had to sign the app or the user would see a scary warning.

Then you had to sign the app or, by default, the user could not open the app, unless he enables it via a UI that is very confusing (and I assume on purpose).

Now you have to notorize the app.

It's pretty clear that the end goal for Apple is to lock down Mac OS the same way they locked down iOS.

Apple needs to protect the hostages, I mean users, from the likes of Mozilla which produces a dangerous app that duplicates built-in OS functionality, which is confusing. And it can deliver porn so think of the children!

And they will in Mac OS 10.20, unless the government steps in.

Well, that's how the US Government works in practice, so...
>Is the purpose of taxes to fund the government or punish the rich?

Yes.

Though "punish" is an unnecessarily emotional word to use to describe a secondary function of taxation, which is to influence the structure of the economy writ large. It's been mentioned before that high marginal tax rates on top earners were almost never triggered, which is true. Instead of becoming personal income that could be used to wield undue influence on personal whims, wealth created by large enterprises (virtually the only way to accrue billions and billions of dollars of net worth) stayed within those organizations, where it could justifiably be used to raise wages and improve infrastructure, and where whatever use it eventually saw was validated by a support structure of interested parties with real sway.

There seem to be articles from citylab (and other 'urbanist' outlets) flooding Hacker News daily. Somehow they all end up on the front page. This article's submitter (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=gmck) is a 5-month old account that submits almost entirely just citylab articles.

Clearly there are people looking to influence the HN crowd one way, especially with the anti-car narratives. Here's a different narrative about cars that shows the other side:

Cars are fast, and in areas that are not ultra high-density, they save time relative to ANY alternative (walking, biking, buses, trains) and therefore drastically improve your quality of life. They don't require you to wait on someone else's schedule, especially given the often inconsistent timing of buses. They work in all weather (such as rain) and in all terrain (such as hills) and are viable for older folks who may not be comfortable riding a bike everywhere. They don't require you to risk sitting down on dirty seats (6-year-old girl stabbed by uncapped needle on bus: https://metro.co.uk/2019/06/08/girl-6-injected-needle-hidden...). They don't require you to expose yourself to violence (40 to 60 teens rob BART train: https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/BART-takeover-robbery-5...). They let you travel all over the land, including away from cities, and therefore give you a greater degree of freedom than the reach of fixed rails or transit systems that are limited to cities.

It seems most of these anti-car articles conveniently ignore the massive benefits we get from fast, private, point-to-point motorized vehicular transport.

PS: literally less than 10 seconds after I posted this comment, it was down-voted. No one reads that fast, and this is clearly a spiteful downvote from someone who doesn't want any visible challenge to the prevailing narrative. That's unfortunate and a sign of degradation in discourse within the Hacker News community.
I cant speak for any of the people on that list either. But if they are committed to the core values of free software and empowerment for all, then its plausible to me that, rather than words in a joint statement, they should fork the FSF. That is the course of action on which the FSF was founded and would be proof positive of their commitment to the core values they profess. They can then proceed to build a better project, with stronger core values, including universal empowerment. There is no one that has to be judged; there are no joint statements that need to be written. That is the wonderful thing about freedom. One can build, perhaps has the obligation to build, the better world that should exist.
Audio stuff is notoriously prone to issues with updates. This has come up continuously since Classic Mac OS in the 90s. Audio guys are even sensitive to changing their physical setup.

Outside of audio, I know of companies that ignore prerelease stuff because Apple has been known to change APIs during the beta period. It's not like Apple has a GM weeks before it is released publicly.

This is extremely unfair statement, completely misrepresenting the issue.

That commenter is doing a lot of gymnastics to avoid talking about reinforced concrete's hidden failures. It's difficult to determine reinforced concrete failures before it gets bad, and repairing it is very expensive. Concrete can get really complex depending on how you make and apply it, and what it's exposed to.

I agree with the author that water is now a bigger deal than fire for wood construction, and we need way more testing for taller construction, perhaps even designs tailored to the material.

Yeah, like how Microsoft's HUP program used to let me buy full offline office through work for $15. Awesome deal.

A few months ago they discontinued that model and now I can get Office 365 at a discounted annual price. The enraging part was the email where they spun it like this change was great for me and that HUP is way better than it was before. What a crock, SaaS for consumers is cancer.
I mean, what do you expect them to do? If it costs them more to serve a country than business from the country is worth due to regulations, do you expect them to keep serving the country at a loss? Is the regulation somehow not at fault? It's not like Adobe wants to stop taking people's money in exchange for the service.
And they fixed the issue by making the highlight color the same as the normal color (so each pixel is still associated with a timezone/country) internally.

I believe change has to happen in the real world and start with educating children and then continue in schools and colleges. We literally have to grow generations for which equality is self-evident.

And people will know what's fair and when they're being bullied. The change has to work towards equality, not revenge and entrapping others.

Currently the exact opposite is happening: the changes are forced by small online groups, mostly associated with software development. Which bully others into submission.

You've probably noticed how in the real world, society is quite divided, with basic civil rights being questioned. This is what happens when people "win" in their little software bubbles.
Yes, I know what you mean, but that can’t have been the reasoning; the article stated that gamers went from misogyny to far-right, using misogyny as a “gateway drug”. Why would the article have used the term “far-right” as a euphemism for “anti-feminist”, when it already postulated misogyny to start with? I think that interpretation makes no sense. The sentence only parses sensibly if you interpret “far-right” as something inherently bad, and something worse than misogyny. It’s hard to tell, though, since the article doesn’t use this connection again.

The rest of the article mostly uses misogynists as the antagonists in its analogy to phones, and that’s fine and makes sense using the reasoning present in the article. It was that random connection to left/right politics which was unnecessary, since the “misogynist” label would have worked just as well, as evidenced by the rest of the article, which doesn’t use the “far-right” connection at all; this is why I called it a “snipe”.
Instead wasting time to build culture influence. They simply bought companies from western and become rule maker.

There is an abbreviation for that - YMMV, right?

My monitor is closer to that usually. And that's the point.
It makes absolutely no sense to measure viewing angles.

The only thing that we can agree is that area of finger/screen touch measured on screen surface is roughly equal for humans - 1cm x 1cm or something like that.

So size of your buttons shall be measured in units of screen surface, but not in some mysterious things that depend on distance orthogonal to screen surface.

So
1. CSS pixels must be treated as logical length unit equal 1/96 inch, and,
2. Browsers must ensure that 1in or 10cm are exactly that when measured by physical ruler on screen surface.

I, as a developer, must know that my 1cm button is exactly that on screen and so human clickable.

Yeah, and I guess I’m not allowed to complain about why I don’t want to participate on a platform that I think is despicable?

In my business, we need to put stuff in the iOS app store, but not the Mac app store. So, while I’m forced to use a Mac for that, I hate the whole Apple ecosystem and just about the way they do everything, so I’ll gladly and loudly tell you why. Nothing wrong with that and while Apple still has vehement supporters, it’s not a dead horse IMO.

This complaint about the complainers is like complaining how HN talks about China. We don’t live there, but what they do certainly affects the rest of the world. And Apple is politically the China of hardware and software. No freedom, petty behavior and tons of propaganda.
> Users have a choice to not use Photoshop

I'm not sure about the rest of CC, but adobe has a near-monopoly with photoshop. I personally use Pixelmator for all my image editing needs, but I am not an image-editing pro... if I was Pixelmator would NOT cut it... my only real choice would be photoshop.

> their user base hasn't revolted and found something better,

If no viable alternatives exist, the choice is not do it or pay whatever they ask. Which is why many cc users feel like hostages.
The use cases I'm focusing on in the article are definitely less "production-friendly" that what you describe. This article definitely caters more to showing R as a CLI tool than R as an ecosystem.

My language must have been ambiguous in the article. I intended to frame R as arriving second because that was my personal experience. My writing philosophy for blog posts is that my personal opinions and experiences should stand out from the technical detail. My reasoning is that even for those who disagree with the personal content will be able to discern for themselves the value of the post.

China already adopted and is widely benefiting from this strategy. Their massive civil engineering corps first built up their "ghost cities" that are now populated, more high speed rail than the rest of the world, and brought the country from famine in the 70s to some of the most technically advanced development anywhere.

In the last 10 years that engineering machine got turned to foreign investments, right now China is building thousands of miles of high speed rail and skyscrapers throughout Africa and Southeast Asia. Thus getting foreign nations indebted to them not for "protection" like the US tried but for their economic lifeblood.

Its going to pay off lavishly throughout this century for the CCP. They will have billions in their debt for their engineering expertise in helping modernize all these foreign economies and not all of it will be strictly fiscal debt. They will be dependent on Chinese engineering because all the intellectual capital is held there. All the US will have to show are millions of insurgents crying death to the nation. The marginal advantage of accumulated expertise for China will be the ability to build civilizations up (to serve their own interests) while the US is only good at tearing them down (to still serve their own interests).
