Finding Upends Theory about the Cerebellum’s Role in Reading and Dyslexia
Why should the average American pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes?

Allowing the rich to choose what organizations and causes are worth supporting is certainly not Democratic. For example, you have private schools getting massive amounts of donations from Alumni, while the local elementary is shutting off water fountains because of lead exposure and they can’t afford to update the plumbing. I also don’t think the kids in the school with books so old they don’t mention 9/11 care about the millions donated to the art museum.
That's what we have now. The more resources (money) you have, the more say (speech) you get. Citizens United.
It does, but that requires a lot of tech literacy - much more than someone who cares if they can use iMessage or not to chat with their friends.
That's a great question. Our UI is pretty light on the desktop side and most of the complex UI is on the iPad which we don't have to rewrite (yet). So we will most likely use the native UI APIs and use Rust's excellent FFI support.

C++ would have been a safe choice, but then well... we'd be stuck using C++. We still do use C++, a lot of our video codec is in C/C++ but parts outside of that will be Rust.

Well... it's kind of a catch-22 though.

If we all agree that it's good for web apps to be less capable than native apps, then we shouldn't be using the open availability of web apps as an excuse for censoring native apps. There's a lot of stuff this app can't do as a web-app that it can do as a native app.

There's a faction of HN that wants to the web to be for read-only documents, and there's a faction of HN that wants the web to be an open, device-agnostic distribution platform for politically risky apps that Apple would otherwise lock off of its devices. But it can't be both.

Those two factions often end up talking past each other. It's a very difficult balance.
I believe this is missing the point. Both the way you can accumulate money and the stuff you can buy are determinant in saying whether billionaires are moral or not.

What I see here is an economy of scale and I am much more worried about the erosion of a middle class than with the presence of billionaires.

If I properly remember the reasoning about the effectiveness of the Gini coefficient what you desperately should try to defend is the possibility of upward mobility.

What cannot be denied is that the international market and freedom of services allowed an unprecedented economic boom, for this to stable across time you need to allow people to become rich (especially if money is counted as "projected prices of stuff that might never get sold" as for amazon).

You also need a strong social net so that weaker social classes are protected, but we should move away from the mentality that wealth is theft.

> As temperatures rise, mass coral bleaching events and infectious disease outbreaks are becoming more frequent. Additionally, carbon dioxide absorbed into the ocean from the atmosphere has already begun to reduce calcification rates in reef-building and reef-associated organisms by altering seawater chemistry through decreases in pH. This process is called ocean acidification.

Now, I actually find this a reasonable way to phrase their position:

> "We respect the fact that for those of us in the United States, we live in a democratic republic in which the public elects our officials and they decide, pursuant to the rule of law, the policies the government will pursue."

But to clarify, as a Brit, I feel this way about our own government and Brexit. I disagree with brexit. I disagree with many of our government's actions.

A small, unlikable part of me says we shall "reap what we sow", but at some point, I'm going to have to reconcile the fact that a large segment of my fellow citizens like what they're sowing.

I don't really have a point to this. It's a shame that as a democracy we vote in individuals who pursue policies that some of us personally find reprehensible. However, I am getting a unique and unasked-for insight into how it must have felt for those individuals with non-PC viewpoints for all those years.

I guess that might be the point: this is the world we live in. Some people find this OK, even preferable. We can't pretend otherwise any more. And that's rather sobering.

An "IT pro" should know about general risk management in IT departments or reasons why you don't give everyone full admin rights or every software they demand or everyone a machine with totally different specs from the other ones (read as: their favorite one).

Indian Prime-Ministership was held by Dr.Manmohan Singh (a Sikh) between 2004-14, which has been the longest tenure in recent times. The President's position is mostly ceremonial, but by far the most popular occupant has been Dr.Abdul Kalam, a Muslim scientist.

It's true though that Hinduism is far stronger today as a political force than it has ever been. And just as everywhere else, mixing religion with politics is not a good idea.

Eating meat for nutrients is like smoking for air, yes there are some micro nutrients in it besides the protein and fat micro nutrients and but they come at an extreme caloric and saturated fat cost in general, unlike plants.

If you live on only animal products you are likely to get diseases like scurvy, or like the Inuit have a rampant rate of atherosclerosis.

B12 is produced by bacteria in the dust, meat in modern factory farms only has it because it gets injected in the animals.

Living in nature drinking from spring water and not washing everything so throughly we would get all the B12 we need. Instead of injecting the supplement in the cow and eating it, just take it straight.

> There are plenty of nutrients found in meat and not found in plants

Literally all nutrients in meat come from plants, or can be made by our body based on plants, there are no magical nutrients in meat it's myth.

> They are also in a less bioavailable form,

Certain nutrients like iron are excessively concentrated in meat, and eating it every day 3 times a day is toxic, so having less of it per volume is a good thing not a bad thing.

All the vitamins that you need are available in plants, A, K2, you name it. There is no magical nutrient missing they all come from plants.

As you mentioned, your body also produces vitamin D, you can go outside which is healthy anyway and that's it. Your body produces Vitamin D just like the animals.

Our body can either consume directly or produce based on plants anything that it needs in sufficient amount.

There is nothing magical about meat, its completely optional for a healthy human diet in all stages of life - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19562864
> in proportion to their demonstrated ability to amass and manage resources'.

This makes the huge assumption that "the market" is already equitably rewarding talent with money. It is not. Luck, heritage (inherited wealth and power), and race/gender all skew how much you can amass and the effects are exponential, not linear.

That is a very harmful belief that your friend has. It is unfortunately quite common.

I have, though, wrote a few things that people should keep in mind when discussing obesity, elsewhere in this thread.

Summarized: Willpower is not a panacea, mind is not above biology; Most people have not conciously chosen to be fat; Ostracizing fat people creates harmful effects and echo-chambers -- constructive criticism is much more effective; Do not forget the part that medical disorders can play in obesity.

Of course, this applies only if you actually want to help fat people. If your (not you exactly but people generally) only point is to bully, then the effort of providing constructive criticism is not worth it, the end result being unappealing (i.e. not getting an explosive reaction out of the person you're bullying).

In any case, if you want to help, do not approve of such lifestyles (i.e. fat-acceptance), but do not bully. People may need psychological support and even medical in case of an illness. If you want to harm people, just don't.
Because the overwhelming majority of traffic deaths are due to human errors (A) a computer could easily avoid.

It would of course introduce a class of errors (B) that humans would not have made, but those can be iteratively improved until they're substantially lower than the category they're replacing.

My point is that once B is substantially lower than A, the tech should be deployed. But I fear people will demand B = 0.
Why give more power to politicians? I really don't get that.
Um, they aren’t paying more, percentage wise. That’s why everyone is upset. They’re paying more in gross volumes of money, but significantly less when compared to their actual income.

You should ask, whose life would be enriched more by having more of the money they’re paying in tax - the average income household paying 30% on their $40,000, or the millionaire paying 7% on their hundreds of millions of income?
Isn't this pretty standard practice? It's kinda like calling SSH magical. It's just basic bash operations in this article.
Not everyone who is obese is at that level of being unable to do things, to be fair.

I recently lost weight (~30 lbs) taking me from the threshold of obesity (30 BMI) to the threshold between overweight and normal weight (25 BMI).

While I certainly find it easier to be physically active now with less weight, I was still able to do multi-hour hikes, bike rides, and other physical activity before at the higher weight.

And if your lifestyle is such that you drive everywhere and don’t do much physical activity besides short periods of walking I can certainly see not really considering being even heavier to be too much of a drain on your lifestyle.

Have you looked at the second link?

> No, an elasticity of zero would rather mean that people are overly taxed and therefore there is no transfer of wealth between generations, which is probably not what you want (what is already taxed belongs to you and whoever you decide to give it to).

Low elasticity means high social mobility. It's the desciption of the same thing, only from the other direction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_mobility

If your design goal is high social mobility (e.g. because you want a meritocratic society or simply argued from an ethical position) and high economic growth, you want to limit inheritance as much as possible. This is pretty much what Piketty et. al. have shown a few years ago.

> Of course, elasticity of zero would mean that there is no whatsoever transfer of skills or intelligence between generations, which is genetically patently false.

And yet elasticity is close to zero (0.15) in Denmark while being over three times higher in the US.

The reason is obvious: Genetics predict potential, societal context predicts outcome.
In the literal legal sense, the US courts ruled people don’t have rights against illegal search and seizure within 100 miles of a border or international airport.

There’s so many of these exceptions to “freedoms” in the US, namely that if you can’t afford to fight for your freedom, can you really be considered to have it?

I do appreciate for the most part, however, the US’s stance on free speech.

Yes. My guess is that over a long enough period of time, the internal build system will migrate to Bazel. But I don’t think it will happen soon. Large migrations are always a pain, but Bazel does make it easier (since you can isolate dependencies very well and migrate bottom-up).

I don’t work there, but I have talked to Googlers working on build systems.

B12 comes from bacteria in the dust, and is injected in factory farmed animals otherwise they would not have it and become sick due to conditions. Might as well getting it from contact with nature or by taking the supplement directly instead of taking second hand via a cow.

"Why do none of the "they don't pay enough taxes" crowd not realize the rich do so much of, and more efficiently, what the gov't purports to with massive overhead? Job creation, charity, arts funding, lowering costs of necessities, etc - and at levels & locations which gov't would never achieve."

Is this actually true? The vast majority of research and innovation is gov't funded. The vast majority of tuition reimbursement and educational spending is gov't. The US Gov't is the biggest employer in the nation of the USA. Medicare, food stamps, disability spending, and social security altogether dwarf any charity that the rich is doing in the US.

What is the rich doing to the public benefit that governments aren't dwarfing them in doing? I'm super baffled here.

Oh, wait. Seems like there are different rules for different apps. . . .
Neither point is good. If I only earn $50 a day and decide to buy a sandwich which has a meal tax of $1.00 - the problem isn’t that I just paid 5% of my earnings in sales taxes. The problem is I’m only earning $50 a day.

But even more to the point is that that only way you can calculate that someone earning $15,000 a year is paying a “higher tax rate” than someone earning $15 million a year is by ignore the fact that the person earning $15k is year is getting EITC, food, and health care subsidies and has an effective negative tax rate even if they did actually pay a few hundred dollars in sales taxes.

Here is a good analysis on average tax rates and effective marginal tax rates across income deciles:

https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44787.pdf

Note that average effective tax rate is negative up through the 4th decile. (Figure 2)

There are points along the curve where the effective marginal tax rate for a mid-range income earner is higher than the effective marginal tax rate of a high income earner. This is due to phase-out of transfer credits — specifically, ACA credits phasing out. (Figure 7) Specifically what that means is you earn an extra dollar and in addition to it being taxed at e.g. 25% it also causes you to lose .25 of ACA credits, making the effective tax rate on that $1 be 50%.

> He's also giving thousands of people jobs

While also destroying jobs in the retail sector as brick and mortar stores are closing shop.

> Do you really want to disincentivize what he does for humanity?

This is such a broad question to directly answer. But in my opinion, a big part of Amazon's success has been at the expense of dozens of retail companies (Macy's stock price was $50+ 5 years ago, today it's $15, and the same trend exists for just about every large retailer).

I'm sure a lot of people will disagree, but I much prefer an economy with many smaller companies competing in the market instead of one giant company controlled by 1 person dominating everything. I think the government should do more to incentivize healthy market competition (which Amazon is not), BUT I don't think the solution to that is more taxes..
Probably, but also a quick google finds dozens of supporting papers and articles. It isn't exactly a controversial opinion amongst people who believe in climate change.

The “temporarily embarrassed” take is tired. I can believe Jeff Bezos should pay the same tax rate as I do, regardless of his ability to pay more, without having my reasoning be because I assume I’ll be a billionaire someday.

Amazon still pays to register vehicles, so they’re paying for roads as much as anyone that uses them, right? I work from home, and pay as much for the roads as my neighbor who commutes. Is that fair? No - but I’m completely fine with it.

I don't feel like "confidence" has much to do with it. In order to be successful, one must be willing to fail. As the saying goes, "The master has failed more times than the student has even tried". But if your every minor failure is met with overwhelming negative reinforcement then you learn that failure is bad and avoid it as much as possible.

I also kinda disagree with the "self-esteem" as a metric, but only because it seems to me that people try to solve that problem by telling people they're great and did good work even when they aren't and didn't. I think it is much more important for the message to be that failure isn't really a reflection of your worth as a person.
If the original problem was a lifetime of low self-esteem of the victim after being bullied, then it seems they have improved their outlook over the long term - rather than the ephemeral boost you imply.
