These are too few from the massive list of open source software out there. For almost any piece of technical software there is a free clone for it. I like free software, as in free to read the code, but not necessarily freeware.
Your link shows that more Civics were sold by the third week of February than even the biased estimate in this post says Tesla is going to sell all year. For Camry the comparison is even worse.
> 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.

I read the article, in which this expected point is addressed. From TFA:

>They have constructed a historical database that tracks the tax payments of households at different points along the income spectrum going back to 1913, when the federal income tax began.

That is actual payments, not whatever the tax law says should be paid. Did you think academic economists wouldn't address this point?

So you're saying people should stop making free software just so some guy can make a profit off of his overpriced basic utility app?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people making a profit from their dev work but when I see something as basic as a cpu temperature meter costing $30 on the Apple store, I'm going straight for the free version. What's even worse with apps like these on the Mac in particular is that the developers often bloat them with useless features in order to justify the price, so in my case I'd end up paying $30 for something I'm only going to use one small portion of.

Anything that is connected to the internet needs regular updates to remain secure. As a Bolt owner, I too am disappointed about the frequency of security updates. We have had ours for 18 months and only received one update.

I like the fact that GM is taking a more conservative approach to what components of the car have internet connectivity compared to Tesla, and that was a big factor in me choosing the Bolt over waiting for the Model 3. I also don't have any expectation for feature updates over the life of the car. But that does not excuse them for not providing security updates for the portions that do have internet connectivity.
That's what annuities are for.

The payoff for Mars is, I think, overrated. The payoff of learning how to colonize all kinds of different environments is more valuable, and it is easier to start with the ones close by than the one's so far away we've only ever sent probes.

Doing these things are still ludicrously ambitious projects, and yet colonizing Mars is at least an order of magnitude more ambitious.

> It's misleading because the rich that they're talking about already paid a much higher rate when they originally got the money in earnings. It's just the 2nd round of taxation: the capital gains which is lower, as it should be.

That's pretty much bullshit by any reasonable definition of "earnings".

Relevant to the HN crowd, let's take an example of a startup founder who hits a home run and whose equity is eventually worth a billion dollars. The founder's company had multiple funding rounds, and eventually the company had an IPO so the founder could sell his equity on the public markets. The founder will pay low capital gains rates on his stock, with a basis of 0.

At no point did the founder put any cash into the company originally from previous earnings. Instead, all of the financial gains from the equity were as a result of the founder's blood, sweat and tears - what we normally refer to as "working". Surely, of course, the founder had a lot more at risk, but at no point did the founder previously pay a much higher rate on any capital that went into the business.
Is any part of what Zeynep said here inaccurate?

It works in Switzerland. They do, however, have high healthcare costs second only to the USA (but much better results overall).
So basically Jack Welch hollowed out the company. Of course this was the trend across most of American industry at the time, so it wasn't unique.
I think the way that it works in America at least is that you have a minority of rich and healthy people and a majority that does not have much money and is not super healthy. Our democracy is suppose to be limited, in that the government is not suppose to use its monopoly of coercion to enforce the majority decision on the minority. So to get around this the voters forced the hospitals to treat them, even if the question "what if you can't pay for it" was left tacitly unanswered. The hospitals of course can't afford to pay for this bill either so they give the government an invoice for it, and the governments only way of paying that invoice is by increasing taxes. Which is a conundrum of where we are at.

Of course the majority (if its poor and sick) is going to pick the path of least resistance - which is to vote short term to get a subsidy from the healthy and rich (instead of pursuing to long term path toward developing skills to provide valuable services so that you could get rich and afford valuable services, such as healthcare, not to mention living life in a way to minimize chance of getting sick/ill in the first place.)

But in the end this sort of "take from the rich and minority" mentality just leads to the dissolution of thevalue that they create, and unfortunately only after they are gone, to the dissolution of the principle architects of that mentality.
Spending token amounts and effort doing small things to make things nice is often taken as a sign that staff are valued.

If work has shitty coffee I can of course bring my own but the kind of people that buy shitty coffee are often stingy in other ways that are more meaningful like raises. It might well be a good indication to look elsewhere.
I was going to say that you won't feel bad if you ever "go without" for a while. I was going to say that if you spend a month or so on the streets, barely getting enough to survive each day, that you'd feel less guilt about earning so much. Then I remembered that I still personally feel bad when I see other people working so hard and barely scraping by, and I get to sit at a desk in my apartment, basically solving problems that are fun and I make 5X as much as they do.

I still feel the guilt even though I've been through some really hard times. I guess it's important to act on your guilt. If you feel like you can help someone that's struggling, then do so. Some people would encourage you to invest, and that's wise! But sometimes you have to do something that isn't wise to feel "complete".

Go with your gut. Life is too short. If you want to be rich, then do what makes you rich. If you don't want to feel guilt, then it seems like your priorities are in a different place. Life is an adventure for some people.
Hey thanks I really appreciate the effort you made there in educating me about this. You've enriched my life. :)

The worst part for Tesla is that the US federal tax rebate can still be used by the competition that is starting to arrive. Tesla fought such an uphill battle to make electric vehicles mainstream, but now can be undercut by $7500 by the incumbents entering late in the game.

This is a double-edged sword, since competition is good. Competitors also are unable to make the same profit margin as Tesla for now.
This is a huge step back for the environment. People who are not familiar with construction and development don’t know just how much waste and garbage and pollution is generated by real estate development.

The distribution of income is a decision we’ve made as a society. Over the past few decades we’ve allowed more wealth and income to flow into a smaller number of hands, then we’ve enacted policies that reduce the effective tax rate on those particular taxpayers. This might be ok if we were collecting enough tax to fund our government, but in an environment where we’re running huge deficits, it’s not ok (nor is it fair, or particularly good for our democracy.) One or both of those things needs to change.
Does anyone else remember the fictional story/memo form about 2005 in Wired magazine in which Linus Torvalds, who had been hired by Microsoft to build WinX (Windows proprietary UI over Linux) was complaining to Bill Gates and threatening to quit because Ballmer kept pronouncing it as "Winux" instead of "Winks"? That was some fantastic writing and a very interesting thought experiment... hopefully someone can find a link to that and share it.
Honestly, the easiest way is to simply download the ROM or a full non-delta update from manufacturer, unpack it, and start decompiling.

Another option if you are able to unlock the bootloader is, using a custom recovery, to create a tarball of each partition and unpack and start decompiling.

If you understand how cars work, you should know that an electric cars will probably drive 1million miles. It has less moving parts than cars. Engines - 500parts, transmissions 2000+ parts. Tons of friction, heat, wear and tear. Electric cars are so much simpler and if anything will prove to be much more reliable than cars. If anything that's what those companies have to worry about. Why would anyone want to replace their car when they can just replace battery? i won't be surprised if this is the reason Tesla is almost treating it like a modern day product with software upgrades. I suspect in the future, they will have it where you can just replace the exterior panel to get a new car and have the interior easily swapable as well.
It's been almost a decade since I studied this in law school, and we don't do anything with this stuff in practice anymore since the laws changed long ago. But the gist of it was that tax losses could be allocated to the parties that wanted them, and not necessarily proportionate to their percent of capital invested.

Don't most programming languages have a few idioms that really annoy newcomers?

I've been using Perl since the 1990's so when I see something like your example, my first thought is "oh no, somebody who doesn't know Perl wrote this Perl code!"[0]

I recently learned Python and while I think I'm pretty OK at it, I still have WTF moments from time to time. Like:

> from datetime import datetime # WTF? and yet standard!

I'm often tempted to rant about semantics and documentation culture in Python but then I remember hey, lots of people have similar criticisms of languages I know better, so maybe I should just give it some time.

I'm not saying you should have liked Perl, but in the programming landscape of 15 years ago you were passing up one of the most important things powering the Web.

But when the politicians use this stuff to change the law it will most certainly be the first two (expanded far more broadly) who will be targeted.

They always say hand wavy stuff about billionaires whenever they get asked about paying for grand projects. But we’ve all seen how that works out in real life every time. I highly doubt that sort of categorization will ever carry over when it matters.
The risk is always there. Say you schedule it at 8 in the morning? Then you might interrupt the people who come in earlier. Schedule it before or after lunch? Unfortunately people eat lunch at different times too. Schedule it at the end of the day? Then the daily standup loses it's effectiveness (while you risk interrupting people who flow later in the day).
Hospitals already charge higher rates to those without insurance because of those payers high default rate. Collections is expensive, and they might not be able to collect anything at the end, so they price that risk into the prices.
Does "with" 1 billion mean they made 1 billion in income that year, or does it mean they have accumulated a billion over some longer previous period of time, meaning they probably conservatively(?) paid close to 500 million in taxes on making 1.5B, and now just unrelatedly, they are paying a million for whatever they did this year? Just want to understand the specifics of your example, since the 10K on 50K seems to be very close to current tax rate, so I'm assuming these aren't random hypothetical numbers.

I can't make the slider go up to 1B in income here (https://smartasset.com/taxes/income-taxes#tvFxGKBdZE), but according to that if you make 10,000,000 in SF, you'll pay $5,207,046 in taxes, so over half. Whereas, matching your statement, you'll pay 10K on 50K, so 1/5. From an income tax perspective, >50% certainly seems significantly larger than 20%.

Of course, this is pure income, so its as if we're talking about an athlete, and things of course change if the capital is not income. Similarly, none of this takes into account sales tax, etc. etc.

Of course, the other key question is what the taxes are for. If the purpose of the tax is to "impact their purchasing power or lifestyle", then I guess until you tax them to the point where they make 40K it will never match the 50K person? If the purpose of the tax on the other hand is to raise revenue for programs then it seems to be quite effective.

I wonder if WebGPU will reduce dependence on CUDA, esp as Tensorflow is being ported to WebGPU. With WebGPU's improved performance and utility and the fact that it runs on top of Vulcan, Metal and D3D with any GPU that has drivers for those, I wonder if DL folks will find it more tempting to use TFJS/WebGPU via Electron or the browser and just be done with CUDA (i.e. break or soften NVIDIA's monopoly)

Nah, the rich weren't taxed, the corporation was. If you want the legal protection of a fictional entity shielding you from liabilities we should be taxing that entity.
The motivation for the OP's argument is that "tax has already been paid" on certain income. It's an arbitrary "rule" put forward by advocates for the wealthy. There's no reason capital gains can't be taxed as income other than: people who make lots of money on capital gains don't want it to be (e.g. the entire hedge fund/private equity industry, along with the budding American aristocracy).

Note: I'm not saying changing the tax rate on capital gains wouldn't have an impact on investment patterns. It would.
