However, the idea is that as more people join the YIMBY cause, they will elect enough YIMBY representatives that the state will be able to pass solid state level laws about zoning and development that preempt local NIMBY groups.

No log DoH.

The problems here are solved by the same solution that VPNs use. A VPN is a central point of failure, if their logs fall into the wrong hands or are misused they fail their mission.

That's why many VPNs don't keep logs.

The no log DoH already exists: ExpressVPN, for example, has Private, zero-knowledge DNS.

Personal experience, but I developed a few WordPress sites a few years ago and it was an absolutely horrendous experience. The codebase was awful, fixing things was finicky, and design consisted mostly of trying to get rid of automatically generated HTML or overriding poorly scoped (or just bad) CSS. Also, it was more configuration and patching than development. (But took just as long anyway.) Wasn't my cup of tea.

Development has always been much faster in Kirby for me, even when I need to write features from scratch that WordPress has a plugin for. I've personally never missed WordPress's larger community.
The closure of the Perg was devastating news to me. My wife and I were reminiscing of good times there right outside of the building as it was being remodeled during a recent visit and got in an argument with the restaurant owner who was turning it into a pizza place (as if Santa Cruz needs any more of those). He went on about the “riff raff” outside and how he was going to help save the town from it.
I absolutely recognize it has been a goal for those who support universal coverage. I have yet to hear anyone against or unsure about MfA even bring it up. I probably could have worded that much better.

I’m referring to what media coverage I’ve seen—and perhaps it’s heavily related to the area I live (US South) and the media coverage that dominates here—but whenever I mention it and try to discuss that point with others, people often stare blankly. It takes time to even get the concept to click. And there’s a lot of, “I never even thought about that!”
You stopped reading after the first sentence?
Realistic plan for what?
Part of the problem is, it’s not a legit, best price, arm’s-length, market price. Facebook:Ireland is just a sock puppet for Facebook:USA, and the latter has no intention of selling it to a true outsider.

OTOH, if FB:USA sold the rights to FB:I for $1, knowing it would pay billions to license those rights the next year, I don’t get how that can be a proper valuation, even without a clear price discovery mechanism.
> And there’s an argument to be made in the other direction too: everyone should be doing everything they legally can, and where it makes financial sense to exert the effort, to avoid paying any more tax than they have to...

I hear this a lot and I kind of disagree with the sentiment. I think it's rooted in petty selfishness.

If you have enough money, as these companies surely do, good for you, ok. The attitude that sees any additional proceeds as wasted if they "needlessly" go to governments where it gasp might give other people useful public services ... Seems to have priorities in the wrong place. One must have proper perspective when you see financial success. Petty greed over small percentages of huge incomes is not the way to go. There is value in seeing how lucky you are and being happy with what you have, then subsequently seeing your role in our social system as paying some of that back.
I didn’t say it was benevolent, I said it was successful. That said, it has done better by its former colonies than pretty much any other world power. I’m Bangladeshi (married to an American whose family immigrated Ireland). My respect for Britain is a bit grudging at best. But let’s be real—both Bangladesh and Ireland have benefited from British language, institutions, law, and culture.
> the special status under Article 370 seems to suggest Jammu and Kashmir _might_ be such

Nope. Article 370 was always a temporary provision. It was not permanent Special Status. The Act itself said that the provision was temporary and could be lifted by just Presidential Consent. And the will of the people cannot be taken into account without considering Kashmiri Pandits who are the original inhabitants of Kashmir but were kicked out by Jihadis in the 90s. Read up on Exodus and Genocide of Kashmiri Pandits. They are living as refugees in their own country. For past 30 years. Has there been a greater injustice than this? And you can see the vitriol against the Pandits in the comment section for yourself. See your sibling comment on how ridiculous some can get when it comes to the treatment meted out to the Pandits. If this is how their reaction is towards Kashmiri Pandits in the virtual world imagine what it is like on ground. They were given 3 options: Raliv, Galiv ya Chaliv which translates to Convert, Die or Leave. Another popular slogan: "Leave your women behind". You may have calls for separatism in your country but it was never on religious lines. You will never understand that pain.

I think most people advocating for 0 income tax (corporate or personal) advocate replacing that tax with an increased sales tax instead.

That way you don't have to mess with income reporting, deductions, loopholes, etc. Just pay a % of each transaction directly to the government. Credit card companies and banks could even automate this so it's completely transparent.

> In major tech metros, nobody pay close to FAANG levels. Either you pay at FAANG levels (and they compete at that level) or you go down one-tier (Pinterest, Airbnb, etc) or you're the rest.

Contrast this with your original comment in this chain:

> FAANG just shoot everybody expectation to the roof and non-FAANG is having hard time to compete in salary (sure, there are some exception but they are exceptions).

If what you say is true, that most companies don't pay close to FAANG levels, then why are non-FAANG companies having a hard time to compete?

Unemployment in software is near zero. You insist that few companies are paying close to FAANG levels, yet at the same time say that non-FAANG companies are having trouble attracting talent. If a company is having a hard time attracting talent at their current compensation levels, then this indicates that their current compensation levels are not competitive (assuming other factors are the same).

Ultimately, the price of labor is whatever people are willing to pay. If workers can get better pay for the same work elsewhere, then the company is going to have trouble staffing - and that's natural.

I was thinking about this some more. You wrote "after the initial ionization phase of mass spectroscopy".

In high school I tried to build a mass spectrometer. It didn't work - I couldn't get a high enough vacuum, and a few years later as a physics undergrad did I find that that was only one of several problems I had. It was fun to try though.

But I do know that the ionized particle has a charge, and that electron affects the overall mass, by about 1/1836 Dalton . That's 0.00054 Dalton, while the table lists masses down to even higher accuracy, like 71.03711 .

The example output gives a value down to 3 decimal digits, so at that precision there's a 50% chance that the electron mass will affect the result.

Isn't this problem therefore implicitly teaching an excessive trust in significant digits?

Now, I suspect that the mass spectrometers they use aren't that accurate. But it's bugging me now.

As mbreese wrote elsewhere here, I'm (clearly) reading too much into the problem. I don't think bioinformatics is the right field for me.

> If they had any spine and sense of humanity, they would help these countries to develop properly so refugees wouldn't exist in the first place.

I think a lot of people seem to be confused about the intent behind the high-skilled-only immigration policies.

An immigration policy that only accepts high-skilled immigrants is not a humanitarian or bleeding-heart policy. It's the most red blooded Reagan capitalist position to have.

These are not "the poor, the tired, the hungry..." refugees. In their home countries they would probably eventually own their own homes, be middle class, above the poverty line, or even top 1%. They aren't being rescued.

The main beneficiaries are corporations and shareholders.

Why are you assuming that a hypothetical tech union would negotiate the same rates as SAG-AFTRA? There's no shortage of people wanting to become rich and famous as actors, singers, or other on-screen performers - and they've still managed to negotiate 2x minimum wage. Whereas there's a shortage of people wanting to be programmers.
It depends, while Yann Lecun has an interesting point of view.

The argument for explainability depends on the risk of harm from an AI model decision.

Of course it isn't. Replacing a broken window with a new window is almost entirely a waste, perhaps other than making sure the window industry remains marginally more viable.

Much military spending has direct value as surplus goods, scientific advancement, humanitarian support, and patronage for domestic skilled industry. Maybe those benefits, and others, do not justify the expenditures in all cases, but it's far from a "perfect" waste of economic output.
It's not clear that these are really tech workers who voted for it. Half of Kickstarter's employees are designers/coders and the other half work with the community [1]. Since one of the unionization organizers worked on Trust and Safety, I wonder if that's also how the vote was split.

IP is bad for privacy. You cannot fix it unless you are prepared to take a massive performance hit. Decentralization is very expensive and un-guaranteed.

The solution is to use plaintext HTTP/TCP/IP and encrypt what you need over that insecure (but simple/sniffable for development on live) channel yourself if you need performance.

Countries and large (telecom) companies have their own root certificates, HTTPS has never been truly secure. SSH is better, but only after the first connect.

Everything that tries to solve things in another broad manner will fall into this category of failure or low bandwidth, just need to select the right channel for the right product.

This comment is not full of factual inaccuracies. In-fact it doesn't cover the length and breadth of the atrocities happening in India. To cite some examples:

- Kanhaiya Kumar (cited above), hundreds of students and even 10 year olds have sedition cases against them.

- The competition has been decimated. BJP spends 3X more than all of the other parties combined together in Elections

- Section 144 (prohibiting assembly of 4 or more people) has been arbitrarily applied across India.

- Free press has been demolished and right wing mouthpieces are both propped up and given a free run. False cases against The Hindu, NDTV, Hostile takeover of CNN-IBN etc.. I can cite a dozen more examples

- BJP losing state elections mean noting. Modi's role model is Xi. He wants to be benovalent dictator of life.

- State sponsored violence in India is the norm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq-HQ7boPvE

As a business owner, I fully support this. There are plenty of other taxable outflows like payroll and sales. Having 0% corp income tax would also encourage spending and growth without trying to write down everything as COGS.

Also LLCs operate this way already with pass-through taxes which is why they're used so often in real-estate. It allows for limiting liability and splitting ownership and management without adding a whole new tax basis.

Know your audience, marta_morena and lawnchair_larry. HN is predominantly American tech workers, from which we can deduce:

- Those who hold citizenship and can vote are statistically very left-leaning

- Many of them are new migrants themselves, with ~75% of those in the SF tech industry being 1st generation H1B holders

- Most either fled the dominant culture in their home country, or being born in the US haven't been exposed to a historically dominant culture and identity

The capacity for understanding and empathizing with what many in Europe are now experiencing is therefore low to non-existent, or may indeed be met with a level of resentment.
> Is this actually illegal though? Or is it just clever exploitation of the rules? Tax avoidance is not the same as evasion.

IMO illegality has a human and personal component too. I understand your question is about whether what they did was legal or illegal.

But let me give you an example of something that is "clearly wrong" but sometimes legal. Let us assume that you buy something (or are paid cash) and the amount is $100. If you pay $20 tax, then we say you are taxed at 20% and the amount becomes $80. So far so good. Now let's suppose that you claim back that $20 and you put it in your pocket. You still have the $80 (or the item you bought). So you net is at $100 whether in cash fully or $20 cash and something worth $80.

Now, let us suppose that in this scenario the cash was paid to you (I am specialising away from the case where you are buying something). You thus have $100, and effectively there was no tax. Now assume you go back to the tax office and you tell them that you are reclaiming another 20% on top of the 20% you paid and then reclaimed. Now, suddenly you have $120. You got $40 in tax reclaims but only ever paid $20. This is essentially the cum-ex scandal. [1] Once with and once without. The with part is the tax you reclaimed; the without is the tax you reclaimed with no base for it at all. Note that these are not tax credits, it's hard cash!

The cum-ex tactic is not always illegal, and this is why I say that legality is sometimes dubious (but not always). The reason why they could steal 50 BILLION EUROS from the German tax office is exactly because 1) the banks were and are in on it and 2) they lobbied for and blurred the lines of legality.

Apparently the German tax office still thinks, even today, that claiming $40 after only ever paying $20 somehow makes sense.

Population of Kashmir is around 6.9 million not 10 million. Total population of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh is 12 million of which Kashmir is a part.

Don't include Jammu, Leh and Ladakh into this as they want to be with India in totality. Even the Kashmiris you talk about are incomplete without the 5 lakh Kashmiri Pandits who were forcibly made to leave from the Valley. The popular slogan : Raliv, Galiv, Chaliv (Convert, Die or Leave) and the fact that they wanted the Pandits to "leave their women behind" shows what kind of Religious hysteria was fanned up to dislodge the original inhabitants: Kashmiri Pandits, from their homes. Have some shame. Repent for the sins committed on the Pandits community that gave shelter, only to turn against them in the end. Kashmiri Pandits are living as refugees in their own country. What can be more shameful than that? No matter how much you justify the Kashmiri cause the Genocide and Exodus of Kashmiri Pandits will remain a big blot on Kashmiriyat. You cannot suppress Truth for long.
