It is absolutely intolerable that the US tax system is now flat and even slightly regressive.
Not convinced. According to arabs I know, they hardly understand each other at all if they are from to far away countries and never learned the "formal" form.
What a shit article.

It's well known that despite the high marginal tax rates of the past, very few people ever paid those. Deductions abound that have since been eliminated.

What you should really look at is real effective tax rates by income level.[1] What you'll find is that the top 1% make 19% of all income, but pay 37% of all taxes, with an average tax rate of 27%.

The bottom 50% earn 11% of all income, but only pay 3% of all taxes, for an effective rate of 3.73%.

What if someone refuses to pay? Do they get a fine that's higher than what the cost of paying for healthcare would have been?
Tesla could (and for some, arguably does) make the best vehicles in the world but if they can't figure out how to make them for a profit eventually and inevitably Tesla will go broke. Also something I didn't know until reading the article below is that Telsa doesn't even have IP on their batteries, they're Panasonic batteries!

It depends. My pension has gone through a couple of different acquisitions but it still exists.

Of course they do. They can afford personal accountants and other full-time professionals that all they do fiscal optimization for them, trying to explore every loophole in the system for their advantage.

They can open a company, declare expenses and claim a low salary, thet can put the money offshore or on Switzerland, and all those tax-avoiding schemas that are not doable by the common citizen.

>> What if more people decide to not get healthcare?

This is exactly what happened under the ACA. This is also the main reason many major health care companies like Aetna and UHG dropped out of the exchanges:

Insurers need young people to, in a basic sense, pay into the system, since they tend to be healthier and use fewer healthcare services — thus partially subsidizing the older and less healthy people that cost more to cover than they pay in.

Since the rollout of the exchanges, the number of young, healthy people signing up has not been enough to offset the sicker population, leading to millions of dollars in losses for many insurers.

I can see the angry HN comments now.

"Google bans reselling. Do you really own your phone?"
The argument for corporate income tax is misplaced. Many socialist countries have a low (or no) corporate income tax and that's goods.

A country shouldn't tax the things it would like to encourage. In this case, that companies re-invest and not pull the funds out to pay investors.

Capital gains tax should probably be mentioned. Why is it a much lower rate than income tax? Why not talk about that?

Strange also that the article doesn't really target one specific part of the tax code - they don't mention any loopholes at all. If they'd like to see a change, name exploits.

The article is outrage porn - not trying to inform, or make a specific change. It's simply trying to get clicks and shares.

It's really a shame to see the new york times go this route.
I've not used Perl as my primary language in over a decade, but it remains my favorite.

I never used CGI.pm for generating HTML...the idea of using functions for tags seemed unneccusarily dense when HTML is a string and Perl is well suited to handling strings. Later I shifted to templating modules like HTML::Template and Template::Toolkit. I assume those are long defunct, but vfb the point is that they offered better functionality than CGI.pm

For parsing params, yes, I used CGI.pm.
The (immediate) goal isn't to have it so you go get drained and refilled once in a while, it's to have a longer lived substitute that is good enough to use.

So the question is whether it works in emergency situations, not whether it is as good as the real thing in all ways.
You misunderstand.

The same type of history had been identified as a way to get things sold.

You can buy the pr for any mediocre technology and it's success is irrelevant.
So since this is all 100% legal, are there resources available for people like us in the upper middle class bracket working as engineers in Silicon Valley to take advantage of all this?

The big issue is the battery pack. It's a major part of the total car cost, and it's not going to last a million miles.

For everything else in the car maintenance and longevity is going to be better than ICE cars due to the much simpler drivetrain, so the cost of replacing batteries and the battery lifespan is going to be the main factor in value of used fully electric cars.

A lot of comments seem to be equating dying with dead. So, let's agree that Perl is _not_ dead.

Is it dying? it isn't as popular as other languages, and it isn't being used for as many new projects. Therefore, you could say it is dying a slow death like a lot of languages before it. It will continue to be used in existing code bases for decades to come, but like Cobol it likely isn't going to be the go-to language for most projects.

Will Perl 6 change the trend? Maybe? I don't think we know enough to rule that out.

If it _is_ dying, I often wonder if it was a self-imposed death. If Perl 6 hadn't been delayed so long, we might be living in a world where Python didn't become the go-to language. But was that ever a real possibility? Could we have gotten to Perl 6 as "easily" as we got to Python 3? Anybody have an opinion on that?
It's not without it's own faults, I get that.
They typically operate regionally.
Many countries have low-to-no regulation and cheap labour, and they remain poor. China also made a concerted effort to keep its currency artificially low so that Chinese labour would remain cheap and Chinese people would be discouraged from buying foreign-made goods. While more subtle than tariffs, the effect was protectionist.

It is a horrible idea, which is why it’s not true for defined benefit retirement funds in the US.

Unless one happens to work for a religious organization, in which case, yes, I agree, we should remove the religious exemption from needing to contribute to the common insurance fund for defined benefit plans.

They own the chemistry for the batteries. Panasonic just packages them. Also they make money on every car not including free money from the software they sell for 10k. They just spend more than what they make from their cars on factories and self-driving research.
In the next decade a few million electric cars will be charging of the world's grid. Currently you need peakers most using Fossil fuels for just the evening period with the few million electric cars charging at night you will be needing those plants to run all night long that's my main point. So promoting day time charging during peak solar is the way to. Car batteries are not good enough yet but in the future these same car batteries could be used for peak demand instead of using peaker plants. But to be able to do this the countries need to start planning for this now instead of a decade from now when the duck curve becomes worse. BTW in my first post I did say unless the base load is nuclear and wind.
As far as infrastructure for 100gw solar for UK goes Singapore is planning to buy 10gw of solar power from Australia by undersea cable so the possibilities are there.

The mistake comes from the misconception that Scandinavia is Socialist. It is not: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Nordic_model

The nordic model is a welfare state with multi-level collective bargaining (think unions and corporations everywhere). Though the term welfare state sounds really really bad, they are actually doing really really well.
Wouldn't buy a Chevy in a million years. Their reputation is for making cheap hunks of unreliable junk. Maybe that's changed and their new cars suck less, but the brand will forever have a stigma in my mind.

Plenty of other useless or actively harmful products also match that description. Philip Morris death sticks. Kellogg's sugar cereals. NFL concussion factory.

The point of the GP's comment is to answer the question of "why don't more people buy a Chevy Bolt". Because for a lot of people the Chevy brand is a negative, not a positive.
In this case, it would be easy to give her the mod position back. So why wasn't that done?

I don't know anything about the 401k system, but the money going into my pension is from my gross salary. Combined with high taxation, it means that it's worth up to twice as much going into my pension as it would be going into my bank account.

"For the young readers who may have never heard of it. Perl was a popular programming language about 30 years ago."

1989 would have been the Perl 4 days. Perl 5 is twenty-five years old.

I don't write much Perl these days, unless for something inconvenient to do in Python. I have nothing against Perl, I just find that the young are much more likely to know Python.

Point taken. Take my damn upvote :-)
Socialism has a real definition which means the people owning the means of production. Just because people confuse it with a welfare state doesn’t change the myriads of literature discussing this philosophy. Just shows the continued failures of our public schools to teach even basic concepts.
I'm not implying they are, my question was honest. I once tried to see where the binary ROM actually came from, and met an astonishing lack of information. Granted, it's a model that isn't really supported.

The choice here is:

(1) Bob suffers cognitive dissonance when he calls Angela, a transgender woman, "she".

(2) Angela, who has suffered the cognitive dissonance of gender dysphoria for years, has that revisited on her by Bob's insistence on calling her "he".

So, yeah. I'm privileging Angela over Bob here, because it is his mild discomfort versus her lived-in experience.

Bluntly, nobody has been driven into lifelong therapy and suicidal depression by having to refer to someone by a different set of pronouns. If you want to insist I'm a jerk for denying that these two experiences of "cognitive dissonance" are equivalent, you know, so be it.
Tesla's gross margin is 15% GAAP. They have an overall loss is because of R&D and capital expenditures etc. They could pull an Amazon and start posting profits at any time. That would be stupid, but they could.
Yes, there is no explanation of exactly how that number (400) was chosen.

Given that the US is widely acknowledged to be one of the most progressive tax systems in the world, the burden of proof required here is far higher than the article attempts.
I got this too. It redirected me to a fake Mac "system warning" page twice in a row. Sorry, I don't have anywhere handy to host a screenshot.
I have yet to meet a single person who hasn't enthusiastically agreed that we should separate healthcare from employment. The reluctance comes when nobody has any idea what we're going to replace it with.

We're at an unusual social state in this country where nobody trusts the government and nobody trusts big business. What does that leave?

I'm a US freelancer, so I don't get health insurance through my employer. I get most of my healthcare directly from doctors and pay for visits and lab tests in cash. It works especially well when you tell them in advance you'll be paying with cash and haggle a price before walking through the door. I pay for a high deductible plan through a christian co-op for unforeseen events. This has proven to be considerably cheaper and more effective than paying for a plan through the obamacare marketplace.
You do see it though. In your roads, your public libraries, educated working-class, your parks, your clean air, your safe-to-drink milk, etc etc etc

Of course it's true that the effective rate was less than 70% (that was the top _marginal_ rate, just like 37% is the top marginal rate today); however I am curious to hear about the exemptions etc for rich people - my understanding is that these have gotten larger and more complex over time so it's surprising to me to hear that there were more loopholes in the 50s than today. Is there a source for this?

Annoyingly there is no source for the data in the article because the book that it is advertising doesn’t come out until next week. My guess is that the wealthiest 400 households don’t have much income to tax. Most of their wealth would be in investments, which if they hold on to long enough become taxed as long term capital gains (20% for the rich).

Tesla is working towards a million mile battery [1] (and the batteries they have on the road today will easily last to 500k miles, which under normal duty [average American yearly miles driven], you won't see until you've been driving the car for 37 years @ 13,476 miles/year). It would also appear, from the cost decline curve of lithium batteries [2], that to replace your vehicle's battery (if necessary; highly unlikely) in 8 years at the end of its warranty will be substantially cheaper than replacing it today.

At a million mile service duty for battery and motors, the powertain is reaching human life expectancy (74 years) at average miles driven per year quoted above.

Not that it is the supreme court's fault, assuming that test is very explicit in the act.

From what I understand (also heard about this in a podcast recently), they take existing blood of any type and are able to modify the RH and type. So blood still needs to be donated but it can be any Typs and RH as that is what can be modified to any type and RH now.
Another way to look at it, e.g. for income tax - if we take the same % (e.g. 30%) and think in terms of absolute numbers - for poor it is anyway a small amount, but for the rich the abs number might be so big that it becomes uncomfortable to just give such lump sum to government, especially if you don't like how gov spends it - so the incentives are much higher to optimize/avoid your taxes.
At least in the case of one of those groups (Jehovah's Witnesses), it's based on a bit of text in the bible saying literally "abstain from blood". Transfusions are no good, including your own blood previously stored. Fractions and products are in a grey area though and left up to personal conscience.

Agreed, but I'm speaking more to the hypocrisy of being expected to be sensitive to the personal beliefs / self-identity of the person you're addressing. The very principle they "fired" her for.

Food halls are just food markets without the market, for the "upwardly mobile".

Baltimore Lexington Market was an indoor food market established in 1782, and still exists today. It's enormous. There are dozens of vendors selling everything from cosmetics and electronics to fresh fish & meat, and lots of prepared foods. One of the city's most famous crab cake eateries, Faidley's, has been operating here since 1886.

Another famous one is Philadelphia's Reading Terminal Market. Established in 1893 (young whipper snapper!), it's the same idea as Lexington Market, but a bit more upscale. Tons of vendors selling an array of products, and an easy (if not crowded) meeting place.

There are very few original food markets left in the US, but the few that do exist are community gathering places in addition to being a good meal at a decent price, and a place to do some shopping. They're not inscrutable or poorly understood. But they're also not regular restaurant businesses. Stalls come and go every year, and the really good ones (usually family owned and operated) thrive with a repeat customer base as well as tourist flare.
When they say “speak and act exactly like we tell you to, when we tell you to, or else”, it does not sound like a very voluntary regime.
