So what you're saying is that even though he's that women's suffarage isn't compatible with freedom, 1920s style "capitalist democracy" that removes the vote from people is compatible with freedom, in one of the most pro freedom platforms out there (the Cato institute) somehow isn't actually pushing for those positions?

I'm not sure that I'm capable of the mental gymnastics to get there.
I struggled to answer that question myself while researching for my own product's landing page.

I decided to go for a very different path and create something that could showcase the product as soon as possible, with simple and objective copy for people who wanted to understand it better.

I do very much love it as it is right now, but of course I am biased, and of course I am open to criticism to improve it. But the principle (clear copy + showcase the product working) I will probably keep.

Here it is to receive your judgement: https://www.quidsentio.com

i support categorizing all income to unearned income except the definition of 'earned' income to time earned wages.

every human being has the right to make 50 bucks an hour 20 hours a day indefinitely . why? at roughly 350k a year there is no one whose time is worth kore than 10x someone elses time on a non taxable time tax basis..... in my view.

if your 'time' is worth more for compensation its cinsidered then...taxable unearned income. earning money by using your time means its a wage. wages should not be taxed.

this however is comoloo icated by how you define time and the time soent to gamble to obtain speculation based income.

wealth taxes are stupid.

so lets simplify.

introduce a flat standard deduction of 100k. no households no joint filing. before age 18 guardian parents or non parent guardians can file on your behalf. these are still indepndent filings.

10% flat wage tax above 100k. and 20% above 500k$.

Deoendants cannot be declared. they file independently.

all tax credits are made illegal. All tax free financial products are made illegal through eminent domain the federal government buys your products out at par. enjoy reinvesting your cash in taxable instruments.

corporations are all to be pass through tax vehicles and do not exist for the pruposes of the irs until after they pull in over 500k in revenue regardless of expenses.

corporate taxes after 500k are subject to the same income tax as individuals. coporate tax is flat 20%. above 500k, corporations may no longer exist as state entities except for state purposes. they must file in paralell or exclusively federally as federal corporations to file a federal income statement. all income from corporations will be taxed again at the individual level after 20% is coolected. federal partnerships or other entities are all idenemtitcal to corporarions for tax purposes. all financial instruments that exist must be registered to a federated corporation. basic no frills cost to incorporate is free and hosted electronically as a public federal service by the treasury if the u.s. . the treasury service also provides an open standard API determined by industry roundtable for federal incorporation and analysis.

change the percentage numbers to suit you. but.....start there. radical tax simplification.

finally congress may by 1/3 vote remove any existing irs rule/reg in order to simplofy the cose further.
It's especially clear if you look at the point in the article where Thiel specifically addresses your question:

> It would be absurd to suggest that women’s votes will be taken away or that this would solve the political problems that vex us. While I don’t think any class of people should be disenfranchised, I have little hope that voting will make things better. ... Politics gets people angry, destroys relationships, and polarizes peoples’ vision: the world is us versus them; good people versus the other. Politics is about interfering with other people’s lives without their consent. That’s probably why, in the past, libertarians have made little progress in the political sphere. Thus, I advocate focusing energy elsewhere, onto peaceful projects that some consider utopian.

His latter points about politics and the political process look quite prescient in hindsight!
Web Bundles is a fundamental solution to the problem bundlers start trying to solve. We need more browsers to get behind that.

After Web Bundlers are natively supported, bundlers can honestly focus on the build-pipeline problem area they naturally evolve into.

That's common knowledge.

Freedom and democracy aren't compatible because in a democracy there is nothing that protects the rights of those who lose the election. As another commenter pointed out in the US it's a little less bad - but getting worse by the year - because it's a constitutional republic. Going down the toilet fast, though, thanks to democracy.

How that means that Thiel is a Fascist, I cannot explain.
Are you seriously making the case that the writers who quit Deadspin over issues of editorial freedom — not, to be clear, the freedom to publish salacious gossip, but to publish articles that weren't strictly sports-related, no matter how provably popular and critically acclaimed they were — were "just bad people" because they refused to sit down, shut up and get in line?

Gawker certainly crossed a line they shouldn't have, and maybe that line was so egregious that they deserved to die and have their remains put through the shitshow that they've been through the last few years. But that's entirely orthogonal as to whether sites related to Gawker ever did good journalism. They did. They had some terrific writers — particularly at io9 under Charlie Jane Anders and Annalee Newitz (both now award-winning science fiction authors), but around the network you'd find Brian Lam, Jason Chen, Stephen Totilo, Gina Trapani, Erica Sadun, Sam Biddle, and yes, love him or hate him, Gawker founder Nick Denton himself was a pretty damn good writer. They published some terrific articles. And the world of online publications is a little dimmer with them effectively gone.

Goodreads was far more useful before it became a part of Amazon, though maybe it was declining before that -- I guess before it got too popular. Much like imdb. Where once I found both useful, nowadays I don't ever bother except maybe after reading something where I am diametrically opposed to the universe and reviews. :)

I never quite figured out what changed -- whether it was gaming and abuse, Amazon buying and caring only about more sales, or simply no longer disproportionately early adopting geeks (inc me!). All I know is neither goodreads or imdb are the slightest use in deciding if I might enjoy something, where once they had been, and in its earliest days (when you downloaded db and client) imdb was almost frighteningly, telepathically good.
> which translates into a price of about 700,000 yen per kilogram.

I imagine a piece of sashimi is about 1oz/30g, so you get 33 pieces per kilogram.

700,000 / 33 = 21,212

Which is about $200 a piece.

I'll be more conservative and say a piece of sushi will only use 0.5oz of fish, so we're down to $100 a piece...

Which does seem a bit unreasonable when you consider how many you need to sell (a few people will pay $1000 for a set course, but not many...). I'm also not taking into account that there's no way the entire fish can be sold at $200/oz (bones, lower quality cuts, organs).

The only other factor I can think of is that you're getting a serious bit of advertisement for your store/chain. I imagine a lot of people are going to come to the buyer's restaurants to get to eat a bit of the second most expensive tuna.

Am I doing the math wrong? I'd also love to get an expert's analysis.

> plugging in the computers to the wired network is a good free first step

Plugging into wired ethernet is only free if you have a wired port near the computer and it connects (properly) to an available port on a network switch and you have patch cables onsite and free labor to connect them (including labor that can access the network closet if needed) and free labor to configure the computer to prefer the wired over the wireless, if necessary.

Ideally, it's not a lot of labor, and there's likely to be some switch ports available and some patch cables available, but there's also probably a reason the computers are using wifi if they are.

You can argue this is probably part of someone's job already, but if they aren't doing it because they have too much other stuff to do, you'll need to pay someone else to do it.

Having worked extensively with UX peeps, there is BS floating about. Not unlike how devs enjoy their circlejerk.

But there is a mountain of subtleties that are very effective. People who don’t work in the field just can’t vocalise what they are, other than “it’s fast”.

That last point goes for anything, really.
I’m okay with that. It’s still an absolute date. It’s the relative dates I abhor.
> Clojure has a bunch of functions with every and some in their names, which can be a bit confusing. In some? and some-> it refers to a value being something other than nil, whereas in some and some-fn it means “the first one that applies”

I haven’t used any of the “some” functions much, but it seems to me you could read this was “the first one that is not nil” which would be consistent.
> Really? I guess things changed but I had 0 trouble setting it up recently.

I don't literally mean setting it up like on a dev machine. I mean getting it installed as the language to use to build new products at a company.

> Every major Editor like VSCode, Atom, Vim, Emacs has this.

Sure, but the problem is it's "yet another thing" they need to learn. They're already skeptical about learning Clojure itself because <current-language> works just fine. So dealing with parentheses adds to the hurdles. At least, in my experience. It will of course depend on the people involved.
To those who find the concept hilarious.. The specific value proposition of this app is "automatically turn off notifications when screen-sharing." Automating everyday tasks seems like exactly the type of thing we use computers and software for.
I thought I was pretty clear. The data is garbage, ergo the model is garbage.

When I was in college, there was a small restaurant nearby, Burger Continental. The owner knew us students, and when ordering he'd always upgrade our orders for free, usually with a big flourish. We knew why he was doing it, but we still enjoyed him doing it and patronized his establishment a lot.

He's pushing for an end to democracy. That's distinct from both the current system, and the 1920s democracy he mentions.

Reading the piece makes this much apparent.

The latter led to the former in his mind, so bringing the latter back would get him back to where he started.
Pretty sure it was a joke.
The cap would also apply to how much one can donate to one's own campaign and it would be extremely limited, close to zero (or zero), and the same for every candidate.
There is no way to generate your own software key pair as easily as one can do with ssh-keygen.

Python isn't known for high performance

As was said by one of the original Twitter architects, defending the choice of Ruby against people who were saying that it was at the root of all of their performance problems, for any well capitalized company, the language rarely makes a difference.

A stateless web server is a “embarrassingly parallelizable”. The speed or lack there of your runtime is usually not a make or break business decision.
What I've learned is they don't need problems solved, managing problems is their job, they want data they can use as leverage to drive agendas in higher level conversations that get them money/resources.

Security people make their livings managing a black box of uncertainty and producing spectacles on behalf of whoever needs them as an ally for an agenda, and when you solve a problem that reduces that uncertainty, you reduce their leverage and value to their stakeholders.

The only valuable security products will be ones that serve that need. The rest are science projects, imo.

I can replace security consultants with a SaaS product on a large number of engagements, but that breaks the economics of the compliance game. Regarding psychology, it may be a darker journey than you expect. :)

Yes, that's what is recommended and most sites implement (AFAIK Twitter for some reason only permitting one :-/)
I'm almost 50. I pass about two-thirds of all my on-site interviews, but have 100% failed my FNG interviews (I got an offer from Amazon 15 years ago but declined because I didn't want to move to Seattle). I've failed Google 4 times, Facebook 3 times, and Netflix twice. I think my biggest problem is because I'm so old, their expectations are even higher than what I realistically am. I'm okay being hired as a "senior software engineer" and working my way up, but they insist on interviewing me as a staff level, which I clearly am not capable of achieving. I'm confident that if I were to get in, I would perform in the top tier of engineers, but it's those damn algorithm questions I just can't get past.
What a garbage article. There's not even any substance to disagree with. Why is this on HN? Because it uses Bill Gates as the representative of a progressive income tax?

Washington state is hamstrung by its constitution, which forbids an income tax. As a result, this "progressive" state has one of the most regressive tax systems in the country.

Washington is also hamstrung by knee-jerk anti-tax grifters in the mold of Grover Norquist (our local guy is Tim Eyman, a man who made the news recently for stealing a chair from Office Depot because he thought nobody was looking, and is now running for governor).
Found our Robber Baron mentality right here.

Nobody is "willing" to work at an un-livable wage. Forced is probably a better term. Not forced by their employer, but by circumstance.
So this is like BrowserID/Persona but instead of including the third-party email service to prove identification, the only credentials are on device/in-browser, right?

I assume that if you only connect one computer (authenticator) and lose the device, you're either SOL or the service has some workaround where you pre-register an email address or a separate "Login With" service.

as far as i can tell clojure clr is just a side project for a couple of people and in no way gets the same full support as clojure on jvm, not to mention that it lags behind clojure on jvm. and again as far as i can tell, no one really uses clojure clr. i have never seen anyone mention it other than to point out it exists. it isn’t like clojure purports to be a lisp on both jvm and .net.

it is also unclear how to interop clojure clr with c# and f#. clojure clr doesn’t address the want of a stable vm, clear usage, and supporting toolset.
theres a lot of problems woth the tax code. the real problem is democracy promotes jealousy by the mobs. bill gates wealth is a symptom bot a cause.

this basic observation is lost on jealous people who cannot think with eational calm minds and think with emotion. the left emboldens this feminin style emotional thinking. If a doctor treated his patients symptoms theyd feel great mostly and thabj the doctor up until they died.

and thats how medicine was for most of human history until rational thinkers came to dominate the governance of the cartel that practices medicine. theyre call moder western doctors.

if you want to byild sustainable taxation look at how th systems money floes were unsustainable bastardized. IT NEVER staryed with some guy being richer than you. and it wont be fixed by indulging misheld dreams that yiu can fix everuthing by pulling down the endproduct of this outcome. you must divert the river streams this includes preveneting bill gates from using his funds to lobby against this.

hint....most unearned income is taxed little if at all. and that is how bill gates fortune keeps him richer and richer. just like most everyone else with excessive savings and capital.
Would love to peek at the datasheet without going through their email harvester.
I just did some rough math and assuming you can use the whole 608 pounds, and assuming a piece of sashimi is half an ounce, you’d need to make 90-something dollars per piece just to get your money back. Once you add on the overhead and profit for running a fancy restaurant, it seems like you’d need to be able to sell a piece of sashimi for something like $200 a piece... which seems like quite a bit too much even for the very highest end restaurants... but I don’t have first hand experience with those.
> Funny though, it may not be the pumps. That just might be an expression of their strict cleanliness. It maybe some other aspect that actually brings in customers. Or possibly the sum totality of 'clean' and not any one thing.

In the early days, Ray Kroc focused on McDonald's always having spotless bathrooms. Moms knew this and would stop at McD's on road trips because the bathrooms were reliably clean. Nobody else was doing that at the time.
I'll concede that, and also that my phrasing is off -- it should be "is most likely a negative."

All that being the case, there's still a certain irony to this chapter in Thiel's book.

Thiel thinks that thinking different on god or the existence of god is a terrible answer, even though it often means someone has a heretical belief vs. perhaps their parents and potentially the bulk of society.

His justifications for why this is a bad answer are flimsy, and seemingly the only reason he thinks this is because he agrees with mainstream thinking.

This proves the danger of answering the question--the spirit it is received, even in book form from the very person advocating it, is judgment of the answer and an underlying preference for mainstream thinking.
Show HN: Self-Published Book – “A Pocket Guide to CCPA” for Web Developers
Hey everyone,

I just self-published a book about the new California consumer data privacy legislation (the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA)) for web developers, website designers, and internet companies.

Here are some links:

- Sample Excerpt (PDF): https://www.dropbox.com/s/zy4s7lshavjgu30/CCPA_text_pocket_guide_January_2020%20%5Bexcerpt%5D.pdf

- Paperback (on Amazon.com): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1654764949/

- Kindle (on Amazon.com): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083F8WTFK

Please let me know of any feedback. I'm already thinking of new topics for the next edition.
HTTP/2 only has chunked encoding (it's not called that, but it's what it is). Chunked is much much nicer than not, because sometimes you don't know the length a priori.
Looking at my "Designs" bookmarks folder, half of the websites have been shutdown and the other half I don't "love" any more.

This proves two things for me, design has nothing to do with the success of a product, and the second: design is subjective and changes not only from person to person but also for you, there is an absolute chance that one design that you love now, may hate in future.
The point of the app is it does this for you automatically when it detects screen sharing, negating the chance that you forget to turn it off yourself.

You should be flexible enough to bill in whatever manner that works best for the work at hand, the client, and most importantly, yourself. If the job requires hourly billing, don't pass it up because "I don't bill hourly". With some clients, you simply won't get them past that and it's up to you to make it work anyway, for both of you.

I agree, you should push clients away from hourly billing, but sometimes it's not possible and it's not worth losing an opportunity over.

You can propose to "sell" a fixed number of hours every two weeks or month, then allocate those hours when you estimate, without forcing you to keep a timer open while you work.

Yes, it's a compromise, you're not selling value, but you're not exactly selling time either and you have sufficient incentive to be productive.

Please let's not pretend that there is an infinite amount of opportunities out there and it's just a matter of your grabbing the right one. You need to keep money rolling in every month and you take what's in front of you, making the best of it.
