Tax on labor is perverse. Why should workers be paying higher tax than a robot?

Wage taxes for under $50k in income should be zero. Ditch all earmarked tariffs and implement a 5% across the board import tariff which is essentially a national sales tax. Cut the NDAA operational budget in favor of letting the 50 States implement Swiss style defenses. Equalize the US Postal Service budget with NASA. Build 1 foot diameter pneumatic/hyper loop tubes under the interstate network to modernize small package and bulk data transfer.

Have DOE make electric steel smelting and electric based low carbon fertilizer/cement production a top priority. Increase the NSF budget for grinder/sifter/centrifuge/pickerBot tech so a modern municipal recycling rig can be modular to a few semis. Same for a modular ethanol production rig that farm cooperatives can use.

Take bids on electric USPTO/DOD short and long haul trucks. Mandate as part of the contracts they also be available commercially in the same quantity for no more 10% more.

The harder win will be more efficient allocation of workers. Govt agencies could grease the wheels by doing one click job applications on linkedIn etc, and offering training benefits to all part time workers.

Govt student loans need to be burned to the ground in favor of GI bill style packages where you do a year of government service in return for having some school paid for. There should be no age limit.

Healthcare is simple. All Medicare/Medicaid bills paid to providers should be public record. Sunlight will quickly cleanse market inefficiencies.

I believe you misunderstood what I was trying to convey. What I was saying was that the cyclist should change lanes to the one corresponding to their desired direction of travel through the junction (like one would do when in a car or on a motorcycle).

> means that drivers will need to look almost 180 degrees behind them to spot you.

Why couldn't they use their mirrors?
Some commentators are pointing out, not implausibly imho, that the Spanish government is pushing the terrorism accusation against the pro-secession movement as a way to tap into terrorism-related extradition agreements in Europe. Right now there are a few Catalonian political exiles in Belgium and other countries.

Saying that California is a low tax state is completely wrong. The state is known for high taxes even when compared to other liberal states in the US.
Specifically, in the EU new Payment Services Directive 2 requires two-factor authentication on online payments. Banks and issuers do not bulge, as merchants pay most of the fraud cost, so government and regulators need to intervene.

Funnily enough PayPal and Stripe were lobbying against this "harming of consumer experience."
There are products and concepts to allow using your EV battery as a power source for your home. Imagine treating your Tesla as a Powerwall during an outage. This would really turn the EV into an asset in such situations. Obviously you wouldn't be able to actually drive your car while using it this way.

My gf and I flew between two tiny airports in Costa Rica a couple of years back, a Sansa operated 13 seat Cessna. As we went inland and over forests and volcano we became enveloped by dark clouds, battered by rain. No lightning, but we were jolted up, down, left and right repeatedly. Meanwhile the two crew thought nothing of it, in fact one of them appeared to just be merrily using Snapchat throughout. I took this as a sign that we were in no real danger – if they were having to work hard to control the plane I'd be much more worried! My gf, who was absolutely terrified of the whole thing, didn't quite agree with me...

Later that day, our new accommodation had a printed FAQ in the room including "which of Sansa or NatureAir is the safest for flying domestically?". The answer was "Sansa have the braver pilots".
At least they ordered to occupy the airport and that alone is a serious offense.

Not trying to be snarky, but my experience is almost exactly the opposite.

I can't comment on voting patterns, but while GDPR was being prepared, and after it was released, there was an endless barrage of posts claiming how it was flawed, lead to the ruin of technology companies in Europe etc, and it should be replaced by something else (anything else, at some point in the future - and in the meanwhile please stop getting in the way of tech companies trying to make a profit)

Frankly I would not be surprised if there was indeed a reflexive downvote effect that is not caused by a shady conspiracy but rather people like me who are tired of posts like that.

Engineering is the opposite of entropy. It tries to create order, simple order that can be understood by human brains, so that we can build reliable systems that do useful things. Much of engineering is about making the physical structure (or software structure) of the system have a low entropy (low complexity, no tendancy to rust/degrade over time, statistically very high probability of being able to complete a cycle, etc).

When I was doing laser spectroscopy research as an undergrad my prof said there was an informal physics "association" that had taken an oath not to develop anything like another atomic bomb. He asked if I wanted to join and I said yes. So I certainly see some basis for people being scared of fundamental advances in science and technology and wanting to control and place limits on what is developed. There have been a lot of advances in astrophysics (little potential harm to things here on Earth) and not much research in gravity (big consequences if we could actually control gravity.) That doesn't require "total social control", just a strong influence at key checkpoints (like funding). Whether there is an active effort to reduce investigation in specific areas of science might be discoverable by a meta-analysis of papers showing what areas of research tend to not get funding and see if there is a correlation with the potential for social disruption.
Alternative take: it is about making money but paid labor is an exchange in return for money and what you put in is more than just time and effort.

If you like your job, your cost looks very different from doing an equally demanding job you hate. The emotional cost is real and can have long-term effects on your health.

Plus of course clicking stuff on your computer is something you can do in your time wherever you are as long as you have an Internet connection. Working for 1-2 hours at a gas station (or McDonald's or whatever) requires a fixed schedule and commuting, not to mention that you'd likely need to agree to a minimum number of working hours and are unable to just skip it whenever you want.

"Why don't you do this other form of unskilled labor for minimum wage instead" is a legitimate question when the current alternative is time consuming and they're struggling to make ends meet. Not so much when it's something they do for fun every now and then while already holding a job that pays above minimum wage.
The "12 f keys across the top" layout may be the one lasting thing the Tandy 2000 gave the PC world. It originated with the Tandy 2000's keyboard, which was later used for the Tandy 1000 and adapted by IBM.

Well, okay. 12 f keys and color Windows.
They also had massive negative cashflow going back over a decade and paid for those dividends with lender’s money. The entire thing wasn’t sustainable.

It isn’t necessarily fair to single out California because many other public utilities are in a similar situation, California just has added significant natural disaster risks. Regulated utilities have been considered a safe investment for so long that many shareholders and probably management have been asleep at the wheel for years. The regulatory aspect means there isn’t much those parties can do without state/voter approval.

I’m hardly an expert in capital markets, so I’m not going to claim if PG&E did or didn’t pay dividends X would happen. I don’t know. What I do know is PG&E probably needed 3-4x the revenue they had, either by increased rates or borrowing which would lead to even greater rate increases eventually.

I would say in general this is a good thing. California’s residents are now extremely incentivized to move to home solar + battery storage. California may even hit their renewable energy goals ahead of schedule.
Its absolutely crazy that climate change is hitting California with devastating wildfires? It's only going to get worse, on top of the hurricanes in the SE, the flooding in the Midwest, polar vortex in North... makes me feel lucky to be in New England.

this has been explained tons of times.

You cannot conduct business in the EU unless you have a VAT number issued by any of the member (still 28) states. You cannot sell anything in the EU w/o VAT, it'd be illegal. The company =must= pay the collected VAT to the respective member state(s).

So they have to register in the EU to conduct business (and issue VAT receipts). This requires some assets and people to be responsible.

The only way to conduct business outside is a small shipments (less than 22e) that would be free of VAT and customs clearance.
Terrorism is also a quick way of instilling fear in Spain, as most people around 30 years old still remember the times when we had three active terrorist groups, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're using it just to spark those feelings in voters. After all, there's another election coming in two weeks.
>having smurfs that lost on purpose when their rank got too high

Those still exist, but they are a tiny minority compared to smurfs who just decay. The simple problem is this: Losing on purpose is extremely boring and very time consuming. Having to spend 50% of your time on an account intentionally losing just so you can win a few easy matches is more annoying than just playing on a higher ranked account.

>Maybe something like a hidden quick ranking would help.

If I'm being cynical, Trust Factor is exactly this kind of hidden rank system. Which is probably why they're seeing decent results from it. The problem however is how do you distinguish between a talented player and a smurf? Someone who simply played a lot of 1.6 or Quake will have exactly the same indicators as a smurf or even a cheater.

Doing this results in very fair matches if we simply define fair as "both teams have a decent chance of winning", but it completely kills any meaning of ranked progression. If someone is "DMG", that has a completely different meaning combined with a very high hidden rank or a very low hidden rank. It's literally worlds apart. And that's exactly what we're seeing with Trust Factor of course, low trust factor matches are worlds apart in skill (whether that's actual skill or cheats) from high trust factor matches.

What would really help is simply abandoning the idea that the ranked distribution has to look like a bell curve, removing MMR decay, and showing some sort of ranked points after reaching GE. That would get rid of 80% of smurfs easily. Even better would be a ranked system more like LoLs system, so you can decay people's rank without decaying their MMR. Plus ideally some sort of way to recognize when players perform way above or below their expected skill level, and quickly adjusting their MMR. (For situations where people buy accounts or buy boosting services. Some people think that boosting should be detected and then the adjustment should be extra slow - but that's just stupid really. It's not going to stop anyone from boosting, it just means the booster is going to destroy more games. Detect boosting, and rank them up really quickly, and then detect when someone is playing really badly, and rank them down really quickly. That keeps the amount of destroyed games at a minimum.)

It didn't have to be binding, just advisory or symbolic with no action to be taken. It might have prevented most of the current situation if the result had been to remain (which would have been most likely, back then, now I'm not so sure). If it had been independence I suppose we would be in a very similar situation.

Because companies like H&R block and TurboTax make a lot of money on it. For most people their taxes really are simple enough for what you say to work and be cheaper for everybody. In fact the IRS already has all the numbers for most people to do that, or if they don't you have an accountant to handle your finances anyway who can quickly give the IRS those numbers. However by making you enter all the numbers and calculate things it gives the third parties a reason to exist.

I used to do my taxes by hand: it was actually faster than the online system I use now - mostly because it was a lot quickly to skip the section dealing with rail road retirees and such. I quit doing it only because one time I missed copying line 13 of form 1234 to line 47b or form 5678 and got the wrong numbers. A simple mistake that the IRS caught right away, but then I had to go refile my state taxes which depended on the wrong numbers: that was painful enough I quit doing it by hand. (why the state didn't also catch the mistake and avoid the whole refile garbage I don't know)
No, that's a US English meaning that isn't widely used in other English speaking countries.

Yes, Nim is cross-platform.

Author here. Yes I do realize I'm quite privileged to be talking about $100 that way. I was hoping more to illustrate that RAM will only get more abundant, and Electron only more RAM efficient, as time progresses. I would have liked a world where there was a perfect native app for every app on every platform, but I'm happy that while that world does not exist, I now get to use Linux for all of those apps. Also when you're less fortunate but managed to save up for a machine, you now have the option to spend the money that would have otherwise gone to deepen Apple/MS pockets, on more RAM instead.
Thank you for replying 'colechristensen.

The example that I would give is how someone might view homelessness in San Francisco, the first time, the next few times, and then subsequent n times.

The first time a person can truly be utter shock. The next few times might remain uncomfortable, but less of a shock. In the subsequent n times, this person might stop seeing homelessness altogether except for the more gratuitous moments.

I am refining my thoughts here, and the part I see at issue is not mindfulness as a whole, but its partial or selective application. The author’s point is that the parts of mindfulness industry and parts of the economy as a whole benefit from the spread and application of the self-regulation/desensitization of mindfulness and it is in their interest to stop any sort of follow through action that would disrupt the status quo.

By stopping mindfulness at self-regulation and not following through with action, an outside observer would be hard pressed to find the difference between someone practicing this much mindfulness and someone who is just apathetic. I think this is where the calls to emotion that the author makes, and my use of the word “numb” comes in: it is question posed by someone else asking, “Do you not care?” In this way, I think the author is trying to argue that some of parts of this mindfulness industry is effectively selling mass-produced apathy and mass-produced self-regulation/compliance. To take this even farther, I think it would be possible to argue that this combination of desensitization and no-follow-through is basically learned helplessness [0].

To be completely honest with you, after writing all this out, I think the author could have made this point more clear.

Things like battery life, suspend/resume and proper handling of multiple/hidpi displays are the Achilles heels of open source projects.

They are notoriously hard to get right, require lots of work invested, and easy to break (regressions!) but are not too sexy or interesting, require insane amounts of QA and don't have low hanging fruits. As a consequence, nobody wants to do them, and so the Linux desktop will probably always be a mess.

Oh, and then there is that aspect of it that unixes in general were not built with the desktop in mind, so things like vm.swappiness defaults might be completely wrong (Ubuntu still defaults to 60 to this day!) and the kernel low memory handling is just outrageously bad, if you compare it to Windows, for instance.

I would be the first person to pay proper money for any Linux-based OS that at least _attempts_ to solve these issues. I might even go as far to purchase a laptop specifically to get the OS on that laptop, like the Macs, however I'm not willing to sacrifice on the size and quality of said laptop, actually, I expect a very high quality product for my extra money, so unfortunately at the moment there is nothing out there right now that I'd buy based on this.
