Why??

Why???? Every week AT MOST. And even then, TRACK THE LONG TERM TREND.

> I can't keep food in my house

Why??????????????????

YOU NEED FOOD TO SURVIVE. You need food in your house to PREPARE MEALS that YOU PLAN. A caloric deficit WILL lower your ENERGY LEVELS ... BUT you are NOT REQUIRED to be HUNGRY because of it.

----

Don't listen to me. I'm not your doctor. I'm not your nutritionist.

When I wake up in the morning, I know I can eat one of a couple different meals. I can have oatmeal, or french toast, or pancakes, or greek yogurt. All of these meals are pre-planned so that I know how many calories I will consume. For a snack I can have almonds or a 100 cal ice cream bar or any one of my other foods. For lunch I'll eat a big salad or greek yogurt or maybe some canned salmon/tuna with blah blah blah.

The point is. I don't track my calories because I have a meal PLAN. I don't just jaunt off to a restaurant, """track""" 1500 calories, and say to myself "Welp guess I'm going hungry for the next 12 hours". That's STUPID.

I have anywhere from 400-600 calories for breakfast. 300-400 for lunch. 400-600 for dinner. 400ish dedicated to snacks. That puts me at about 2000 calories for the day. That's maintenance level (basically, it will vary from person to person). To gain weight I ADD another 150-300 calories meal. To lose, I ease up on snacks or go for the low end numbers on my 3 major meals (400+300+400 == 1200 + 400 snacks == 1600 == caloric deficit).

I'm NEVER hungry. The worst part of a diet is the lower energy levels (drink some coffee). NOT THE HUNGER because there is NONE. Eat a pound a spinach. You will not be hungry!
> if you're human, then you get the situation we are in.

Fixed that for you...
I agree with you. I subscribe to @Patio11's philosophy of "charge more".

But, I think there's a massive amount of opacity and sneakiness in SaaS pricing. If you read Postman's announcement post yesterday, you easily could've walked away expecting just a 50% price increase when in reality you may have been getting bumped from $8/user/mo. to $24/user/mo. because of the new rate limits.

Companies should charge more, but they should defend the merits of those decisions, not try to slip them under the rug.

Edit: also, I'm not sure your claim that software is getting less expensive holds up. I can say for sure that business software has significantly outpaced inflation in its price increases, but our research on this didn't cover consumer: https://capiche.com/e/software-inflation-rate
> A wealth tax is levied on an individual’s net worth, such as stocks, bonds and real estate, as well as cash holdings, similar in concept to property taxes. It is separate from an income tax, which applies to wages, interest and dividends, among other sources.

One often overlooked issue with a wealth tax is the damaging effect on financial privacy.

The income tax already has the IRS probing into nooks and crannies it has no business probing. It deputizes law-abiding businesses to snitch on each other through the obligation to report payments.

A wealth tax would ratchet the surveillance up even further. Not, not just income statements, but asset statements would be required. Enforcement would likely require reams of new compulsory snitching laws for sellers of property. It's not an outcome I think many respondents have though through much because privacy still flies well below the radar in the US.

Then there are unintended consequences. If you tax income, it re-appears as capital appreciation. If you tax assets, they will re-appear as invisible wealth. That's an outcome for which I doubt most in the country are prepared.

The argument for a higher tax on income above a certain level is that it helps prevent tyranny.

The largest single line-item is salaries and compensation (including healthcare). Most people getting those salaries are lower-middleclass.
Agreed and it's what I've been saying all along. This is what you get when your hiring is based solely on puzzles and algorithms. In all of the engineering interviews I've undertaken in the Bay Area in the last 10 years (a LOT), none focused on any aspect other than raw technical skill. Very little if any on soft skills, communication, ethics, etc. What happens when these guys get promoted into higher leadership roles over the years, you get a slow poisoning of company values and culture because many of these people don't know about anything other than coding.

> Which is a very dismissive viewpoint that America can simply wash its hands of everything outside its borders. Surely anyone who knew about the Holocaust saw our involvement in WWII as a moral

This is nonsense we allied with one murderous dictator and fought another, our involvement in that war was in no way righteous.

> I'd also argue that there's a huge fallacy in his premise. Yes, war is profitable for many industries. I think it's inarguable that peace is vastly more profitable for even more industries. Friendly international relations, stable supply lines and prosperous consumers are far more valuable than anything else.

His point is that it is vastly profitable for a _few_ people, and also implicitly that what you are saying is true because he wants peace.
> There are also great Javascript platforms for all kinds of purposes these days.

Except nothing replace it in a one-stop do it all like Flash was able to do. You open it, you had a timeline that could contains both graphics and code, you could easily reference them on the IDE directly, and then when exported, it was a single binary file that could be shared everywhere and could easily be made quite secure. That meant that there was platforms like Mochimedia that allowed you to import a SWF, that added the ads and it was shared on multiple thousands website for people to play on.

Nowadays you have to use a bunch of different tools, which sure is more flexible in a way but it's a barrier big enough to remove any desire to do a quick prototype for fun. There's software like Unity which is amazing (and a proof that a one-stop software is highly preferred by people), but it's made for bitmap or 3D graphics, which both are made over an other platform and are more complex to handle than vectors that just works great in any context.

That's while considering that everything can be done, which isn't really true because even in term of performance, it took a decade for JS to reach a performance similar to what Flash was able to do at the time. The vector editor was so good that I knew many people that preferred it over Illustrator. I was able to do some nice graphics easily on it, I tried to do the same with Illustrator nowadays and I just can't.

> I've found that most 30+ yrs old people that asked why I don't drink don't really like drinking either and feel like they won't have fun or enjoy the party as much or fit in if they don't drink, but that they don't like the bloating or hangover effects if they have more than a drink or two.

I'm about to cross 40 and I've stopped drinking completely. I don't enjoy the feeling and even after one beer I get depressed for three days following.

There are lots of comments when I'm doing something socially but I just don't care. It's not my job to make people feel good about their drug use.
I don't understand privacy well, can you provide specifics of which nooks/crannies of the wealthy need to be private from the IRS? Also, do you think wealth inequality is a problem, and if so, what'd be your alternative proposition to fix it?
This is why the wealth tax will fail to fix inequality. Eventually your parents shitty 250k house out in the sticks will qualify for wealth tax. Whatever stocks you have that aren't in a retirement account will be wealth taxed even though half their growth is just from inflation. It's going to suck.
They're trying to recapture their economic contributions. Companies won't pay more, so they're doing it via other means. When salaries were rising such actions were not popular.

Why did we embargo Japan? Because they were invading China. It's not like Japan was just peacefully sitting there, and we slapped a trade embargo on them for no reason.

So our options were to ignore that Japan was invading China, and continue to sell them steel, rubber, and gasoline, or to embargo them, or to declare war on them. We didn't declare war, which is consistent with the article's viewpoint. Should we have embargoed them (even at the risk of eventual war), or should we just continue to sell stuff to them that helps them attack China? To me, it's pretty clear that the embargo was the moral thing to do.
>Edit: Equivalently any SAAS sucks since they may in the future raise their prices is your argument.

This is a very real argument though? Reliance of a core part of your saas on another company, who is liable to change prices at any time, is a real business risk. The Google Maps API pricing change is a big example.

Regarding Jsonnet:

1. Documentation is bad. We know that and work on improving that. Some resources that might help:

- https://tanka.dev/jsonnet/overview: Our own docs include some notes about Jsonnet in general for newcomers

- https://jsonnet.org/learning/tutorial.html: Taking the time to read this entire page opens eyes. Annoying and time consuming, I know but worth it.

Regarding Ksonnet and Kubecfg:

1. Ksonnet was magical. Tanka hopes to be Ksonnet without the magic. We got rid of all of those concepts, parameter merging and whatnot. You have Jsonnet and Tanka, a tool that pushes Jsonnet to Kubernetes. That's it. (ok, you also get a lot of handy features like CLI completion, diff and other things to make your dev experience better)

2. Kubecfg is similar, but has a smaller scope. It evaluates Jsonnet and pipes this to kubectl (basically). At the time we started Tanka, kubecfg was by the way part of the deprecated Ksonnet project, so we assumed it dead as well. Luckily it's not, as it is a very cool project, that inspired Tanka a lot.

Tanka after all aims to be like the `go` command: The one command you need to manage your entire complex kubernetes clusters. Also, Tanka is not strictly limited to a single language. For now we focus on Jsonnet, but more may come in the future

> Caloric deficit == weight reduction. Doesn't matter your physiology.

True. This is the one piece of weight loss advice that multiple scientific disciplines agree on. However, being true does not make it easy.
The decision is usually guided by practical limitations, such as grip, or the tolerance of parts. Limiting torque to improve acceleration, prevent skidding off the road, or not burn out the motor is a reasonable motivation in-line with the interests of the driver. Limiting torque to make your car feel like a less capable one is not.

That said, I can imagine some people may want a familiar driving experience, although it would make sense to make that a configurable option, e.g. 'sport mode' vs 'comfort mode'.
> The question I have is are there ways to stay true to values (which in some cases might be in direct opposition to growth and profit taking) with the way our society is structured?

If we assume that a company's[0] values are determined in part by whom it decides to hire, I'm not sure this could be done legally in the U.S...

In the U.S., in most cases it's illegal to consider a candidate's religious beliefs when making a hiring decision. In my experience, a person's values are closely related to their religious beliefs, so hiring based on "values" would invite lawsuits regarding religious discrimination.

[0] I'm only guessing what's meant by a company's values, in this context. I know "values" means for an individual person, but not for a collection of persons.

Keto style diets made a huge impact on my life. I will say this though: it's very difficult to eat low-carb in America. While I was overseas in the South Pacific, there were a lot more low carb options and produce was of higher quality. Here in American, everything is loaded with sugar and I've had to cook a lot more of my own food if I want to stay healthy. But I agree, cutting out sugars/starches greatly changed things for me. Have a Steak and Salad instead of a Steak and Fries. For breakfast, just have the bacon and eggs and skip the toast. It makes a massive difference.
Welcome to HN, where taxation is "stealing"
Nearly everyone pays a form of wealth taxes in the form of property taxes. I see no reason why it should be different for the Rembrandts and the diamonds (if, of course, they could somehow be assessed at a level that exceeds ~$32 million to $50 million and more).
I can't read the article, but my take on the headline is that monetizing deep fakes makes them even more terrifying, not less.
not really.

From wikipedia:

The scenarios in which tyranny perception occurs are very specific, involving a sort of distortion of democracy preconditions:

- Centralization: when federation makes a decision that should be local. => NOT THE CASE.

- Abandonment of rationality: when a decision "which bases its claim to rule upon numbers, not upon rightness or excellence"

Unless you argue taxing is irrational.
There are probably lots of people you drive by on your commute every day who are on prescription ADHD medicine. Maybe some on low doses of (prescribed) opioids as well, or prescription anti-anxiety like klonopin.

The dose makes the poison though. There’s a reason low levels of alcohol are allowed while driving too
> no taxation without representation

On the other hand, the 1% have enough money to influence politics through lobbying and "donations"
I'm confused. There are many taxes that only apply to a subset of people. Property taxes only apply to property owners, soda taxes only apply to people buying soda, gas taxes to people buying gas. Tax credits apply to certain people, too, like the EITC or mortgage credits.

What makes this qualitatively different to you?

Also, everyone can vote, so everyone in theory has equal representation. (in practice, the wealthy have a lot more time in their reps' ears than the poor, so they arguably already have a greater representation than your typical voter.)
Delete: No, we need to add that command. For now, use `tk show --dangerous-allow-redirect | kubectl delete -f -`.

Diff: Use `tk diff`. It shows the differences between the local Jsonnet and the cluster. `tk apply` makes them reality afterwards.
One of the big selling points of the Miata is it's light weight. Mazda has gone to pretty extreme lengths (for such a low priced car) to keep the weight down. A heavy battery wouldn't fit with that at all.
Your argument implies that a wealth tax has always been favored by a majority of Americans (since by definition a majority of Americans have always been not rich), which I think is not true.

I think the truth is likely that personal wealth is but one of many factors in support for a wealth tax.
This is also why Musk sent a team with a Model S (tri motor Plaid mode) to the Nurburgring track and built a Supercharger there. Appearance, status, and signaling matter to consumers. It’s not good enough to be good enough. Tesla has to show they can be the best choice (and arguably, they have shown that).
In most places it already qualifies for a wealth tax in the form of a property tax...
If we are going to do opportunity costs, imagine where America would be if it spent that kind of money on its own damn people. Like education, healthcare, infrastructure, and the economic "cost" of enforcing clean air and water regulations, increasing fuel efficiency targets, and phasing out fossil fuels.
> Google hired a significant number of Chinese citizens and migrants who didn't leave China for political reasons. Not surprisingly, they tend not to see China's government policy as evil.

It takes years in the right environment for someone like that to start to think differently. All kinds of important facts and ideas were kept from them, much of it random things that don't come up often that they may not even realize.

For a less than unusual example: a lot of Chinese think the US never apologized for accidentally bombing the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during the Balkans conflict, but it did so, publicly: https://www.c-span.org/video/?123188-1/youth-violence-embass.... The Chinese government portrayed the bombing as a deliberate act, and used it to create a sense of nationalist outrage in the population. The apology didn't fit the narrative so it wasn't reported. How long would it take for someone whose views were shaped by things like that outrage to get exposed to the truth randomly, given how infrequently this event comes up?
Agree on this one. This is probably more about Mazda's wanting to optimize the driving experience than about talking down EV's or pushing fuel cell as the author implies.

FTA: I know that Mazda likes to tune their cars for a specific driving feel, but I refuse to believe they couldn’t work the fun acceleration of EVs into their driving feeling.

Seems like they did exactly what the author is asking. Looking at Mazda's lineup, their core philosophy revolves around driver experience and feel (zoom-zoom) so it makes a lot of sense that they tune (down in this case) their EV's to match what they feel is the best experience for a car.
