I generally assume that 40% of my paycheck will go to taxes and savings. That’s not quite correct, but it’s a good first order of magnitude estimate.

I wouldn't take back the claim, but I would chuckle a bit.

I dunno, if my government created an ocean with my tax money to move people and freights, and some rich idiot with a yacht is racing down the artificial ocean endangering other ships, I guess I would be also pretty angry at that.

I'd be happy if everyone gave more, I don't believe in donation. I believe the government should be funded to work for the public. Refusing to fund the government is why we're in this.

If government provided social media, people would be up in arms about the potential for abuse and data surveillance. Meanwhile, when corporations sell their data to other corporations and governments, all is good.

I look at it as a writing exercise along the lines of "you remember 60% of what you hear and 90% of what you had to research and write". Yeah, your article probably isn't going to catch fire and open a bunch of eyes. But the exercise of writing it almost certainly improved your understanding of the problem space, so if it ends up being useful to someone or gets you some small amount of clout that's a bonus.
Very happy with DBeaver too
Ah yes, the obligate vacant comment about donating to the Federal Government when there's talk of taxes being too low on the wealthy. Get a new line.

The problems in this country, including the mess that is the tax system, cannot be solved by snarky comments like "donate your money if you think taxes are too low." They require a longitudinal and deep response.

It all comes down to simple economies. The country that can out-produce the other country in terms of war material will win the conflict. The US proved that during WW2. China has a huge industrial complex that can do this if it needs to do.

Deliberation. Try to argue with yourself. Convince yourself you are right or wrong. This pause gives you time to cool your head and respond intelligently, or consider the consequences.
That speaks to the danger factor, but the OP wanted to know why they do take these risks. I'd say that those on the cannonball run have exactly the same motivation as Ellen MacArthur. She was knighted for setting an around-the-world yachting record, making her an official hero, but in terms of motivation she is no different than these people trying to break the across-the-us driving record. Different vehicles, different legal regime, but same drive to be the fastest.
Well,

I don't think it really matters whether he's talking set theory or category theory because the way he talks about set theory implies to me he'd have similar problems with category theory.

For example, he describes the result of Godel and Kohen, who together showed the continuum hypothesis is independent of ZFC, as being a failure/problem of ZFC. It's not. That you have significant theories that are independent of a given axiom system is a product of Godel's theorem. Modern mathematics operates with the assumption that most theories are true, false or unprovable.

But the situation also isn't specific to set theory. Any formal system is going to be subject to this "problem"

The thing is this state of affairs isn't appealing to the intuition. Godel himself was unhappy with his result. But it is basically inevitable if you get to the level of rigor of a formal system.
The distributed-but-signed way is there in https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0046.html (Updating Torrents Via DHT Mutable Items).

That draft status is of little practical relevance, though, if nothing changed for years, and no one voiced well-founded critic on the technical details.

I do agree though that Hyperdrive is different from what the bittorrent ecosystem has to offer. I too like not reinventing the wheel where that's not necessary, as you recommend there.

Won't alter the price very much, as the institutional boys following this would have assumed it would happen.

The market is very decidedly not the economy. Everything indicates disaster for the gdp, which is a measure of economy. But the market is sitting about where it was 1 year ago. People expect that America is going to pull through. Sentiment may change but right now its pretty bullish. Lots of retail investors driven by FoMo, of course, and people who rushed in to buy the dip. Google trends is illustrative of the point.

But I think the corporate debt, unemployment, a possible trade war, supply shortages, and eventual bankruptcies are going to send it back down at some point.
> We've lost every war fought in my parents' lifetimes, in the Pacific and everywhere else on the planet.

If your parents are even 30 years old, they were alive for the 1990 invasion of Panama, the 1991 US-led war against Iraq, and the 1999 NATO intervention in the Kosovo War, among others.

I don't think any of those three can reasonably be spun as a war lost by the US side.

Win32 fibers would probably not be a good match for potential .NET fibers. From the link in my previous comment, they seem to allocate the stack of the same size as regular OS threads, making them not appropriate for the use case of keeping thousands or more fibers around.

> Runtimes that choose to roll their own green threads, like Go, and I guess now also Java, are effectively stating that their convenience is worth the inability to interface well with async code outside of their runtime.

You'd still be able to interop with async code outside of runtime, you can still model the API as callbacks for the interop purposes where needed.

But yes, interop has sam trade-offs. Which are, IMO, entirely correct trade-offs to make for Go, Java and .NET (and overwhelmingly so). But they are probably not for (as an example) Rust, according to it's goals.
> It seems that there has been a general trend towards a constant churning of output in order to keep up the dopamine hits for users.

my first thought when reading this was "yeah, that's because users don't know how to RSS". it's not that i know how to RSS that well, but i do have friends who use RSS in the style of masters. my favorite strategy that i have heard of, and what i will try to replicate in a few months, is: rss subscription >> local mail service >> inbound mail folders filled with articles from my RSS feed.

i've been practicing my own ability to use "the computer" in a way that makes me feel like a master... and we'll see if i ever get there. surely though, we are all missing out on the oldschool internet that was swallowed by the walled gardens.

There’s been other discussions if we are in a Black Swan event. My opinion is we are not. We are in a series of Black Cygnet events.
Both sides look bad for me here. Musk for asking $655k of state money when he could obviously afford to foot such a bill on his own - just in April 2019 they raised half a billion, surely they could afford to spend 0.1% of that on "training funds" without milking the taxpayer. I understand that if the funds are available a savvy businessman would take them even if they don't need them - but that doesn't exactly elicit sympathy.

And California, of course, by conditioning distribution of tax funds which should be equally available to every qualifying business on kowtowing to politicians and denying the funds if somebody dares to challenge their policies. That's not how these funds are supposed to work, if they serve any purpose it's not to give Newsom or his minions a leverage to shut up their opponents.
I agree! I really hope this takes off and also sparks a revolution of making things easier for people!

Few countries even in Europe will let your effective income tax rate reach 50% but this may be an effect of tax system structure more than anything else. Eg in the U.K. the max marginal income tax rate is 45% but that doesn’t count payroll taxes (employer or employee), which are called “national insurance”, or student loan “repayments” (9% of income above a threshold, though not super relevant to people in the top band), or oddities of the tax system like a somewhat hidden 60% marginal rate or a discontinuity with the married couples allowance or withdrawal of certain otherwise-universal benefits for children.

It is similar in other European countries (at least as far as I can tell from a cursory search showing that sources can’t really agree on what the highest marginal rate is).

I would be interested in seeing a chart of gross to net income and effective tax rate in different countries but this is hard (eg do you count employer payroll taxes? Do you count removal of state’s benefits that might not be used anyway? How do you deal with countries that have more complicated systems with eg deductions or allowances based on personal situations?)

All that said, I think the post you’re replying to could just mean “approximately half,” ands I think 40% would fit that description.
It's very, very hard to sell a company for more than about 5x.

Indeed this is definitely true. That doesn't, however, mean that firms with higher multiples are not connected to reality. It just means they have achieved some form of economy of scale or market dominance where there is a reasonable expectation that the ROI on the investment will be worth the risk.

have no connection to reality whatsoever, it's pure speculation.

Speculation isn't inherently unconnected to reality. There can be very real reasons to believe that a business currently making very little money (or even losing money) will, at some point in the future, make lots and lots of money. In these cases, it's very reasonable to see shares trade at very high PE multiples.

> If you want to win in court, disobeying a law is generally not the best path. Musk isn't Rosa Parks. Musk doesn't have to be arrested before he can challenge the law in court. By acting like this he isn't helping his case(s).

> I'm sure his lawyers are pulling their hair out.

Ha! With the rest of his shenanigans I’d be impressed if they have any left. The “pedo guy” episode must have caused a few Rogaine scrips.

> Politically, Musk is shooting himself in the foot. What if the local health department says that automotive factory workers must stay 10feet away from each other, all get respirators, get tested twice a day, and must take a month of covid safety training? Those will all be "reasonable" in the eyes of any court. That they would also kill any chance of Tesla turning a profit is political consequence of disobeying previous health orders.

If they target specifically Tesla with rules like that it’d be thrown out for being vindictive and targeted.

If they try to impose those type of rules on the entire State they’ll have a class action of businesses challenging them.

If rules are going to be imposed they need to be debated on facts, written by a legislative body, and signed into law. Not shot from the hip on a daily basis on the current executive’s whims.

judt pointing out - there's a lot of other threads you can talk about your own inspiration and topic of choice. My specific post was about the difficulty of understanding 2nd and 3rd order effects of a UBI at scale because no one studies it enough. I think you can do well to stick to topic if you are going to respond. still havent heard from you a clear a counter argument why making policy on UBI is easy or why you shouldnt look into 2nd or 3rd order effects.

i have nowhere claimed that giving money to people is harmful. in fact I love andrew yang's work on UBI and am a huge fan. He's done incredible work on the narrative on why we need it. just no one has done the work on actually creating a policy that has a sound investment thesis because its hard work. andrew yangs proposal on how we will pay for it "data is the new oil" is paper thin, especially if you dig into how Alaska pays for it. he even uses Alaska as an examole of it being affordable - again, excellent narrative, very poor policy.

you claim it isnt hard to answer these questions, and then waive off that we dont need to care about businesses, how the policy is implemented, or any second or third order effects of a massive 15% shift of economic value, and then fundamentally misrepresent my point that i am anti UBI.

you probably would grow some if you spend more time listening to other people and engaging in their arguments, not dismissing their points and putting forth your own idealogical narrative.

feel free to call me out on your own threads if i do the same to you

Thank for you reply. And of course, you have a good point. If what is important to you is saving space and bandwidth, then serving videos is probably the best solution.
I disagree pretty strongly with this. Things like indexes, uniqueness constraints, foreign keys, basically data schemas are hugely useful. There was a big movement for awhile in web dev, to use mongo instead of “the sledgehammer of an rbdms” , people learned over time that actually they wanted a database. Because you run into so many issues with querying and data consistency or maybe you want to do a join. All of these things become huge problems without a database. An eventually consistent log of data is not a replacement for a database. Can you imagine designing a simple crud app with a couple of tables and different products, but now do it with Kafka as your backing store. You’ve added so much more complexity to your application because you didn’t want to use a database.
I'd guess in your case ("light usage"), just choose one of the open-source GUI clients would be best. Probably DBeaver.

Here's the decision-tree I'd go with:

Do you want to pay money for it? If not, use a free or open source one.

Are you comfortable with running SQL commands from the command line? If not, go for a GUI one.

This leaves "OS-specific or cross platform" (which should be straightforward to resolve), and "desktop client or web interface". I'd expect a desktop client to be easier to setup.
And blacklist anything with those outbrain blocks. “One weird trick to _____.”

Very surprised where I see those these days, and they always make me run away.
It's hard to understate how much game programming helped in my career. All at once it helped me grok not just patterns, but also Calculus ("wait... isn't this for loop very much like an integral? is that what they actually were all along?!"), Algebra, OOP, Discrete Math and even got me out of a rut after a very boring and stale couple of years.

I very much recommend working on graphics and games to every programmer and CS major who hasn't already!

I think he mean the general trend of the internet talking, writing or ranking something about blogs is generally dwindled, replaced by social media account. You can find 'Top 10 Beauty guru Youtuber' or 'Top Tiktok rising stars' everywhere on the internet, media and websites post about it, promote it, in easy to read format, interesting writeup, with spectacular pictures in said article. The attention and money was pours into creating that, to make people 'discover' interesting creator.

but ranking blogs? It's more like personal attempt nowadays(e.g. your list) and not really the main focus of internet anymore.
It's a blog. The person is starting a blog. They want people to visit it. People visit it and liked it. And upvoted this post.
Your wording of "willingly spread" is also exaggerated, and I fail to see how you equate that to a person taking the generally accepted measures to prevent the spread while in public.

That includes anything that’s pre-paycheck, which would include 401k and HSA in my case, but would exclude post-tax savings (I was imprecise in my original comment).

In case you are not aware, there are quite a few people who have done pretty crazy things with brainfuck. For example, there are some really short quines [0], brainfuck compilers and interpreters in brainfuck, and a multitude of macro languages to make writing bf programs faster.

Not really. They could have supported green threads under hotspot, but they chose posix threads, because posix threads were much faster than the previous implementation of green threads.

Today, green threads are faster. Have os threads become slower? Not that I know of. All that’s really changed is how green threads are implemented.

We went from “green threads bad os threads good” to “os threads bad green threads good”. Sure, the new green threads are better than the old ones, but in some alternate universe maybe we could have got here without os threads (and maybe saved hundreds of thousands of hours of developer time in the process).

To me, what’s interesting is that this appears to be a case of evolutionary “local maxima”. Java went from green threads to os threads because os threads gave better performance for the amount of effort expended. But now we’re moving back to green threads - at much greater effort, 20 years later. I’m sure I’m not the only person that wonders what lessons we can learn from this?
