There’s a lot to how you deal with this, I think developers are eager and they either burn out chasing missing requirements or settle into a slower more considered work flow. If you’re at a company where they shout at you for not delivering something they didn’t ask for or asked for yesterday then you’re at the wrong place
Exactly, MARGINAL tax rate is different from the actual tax rate. It's the tax on the marginal dollar. There are deductions, and the first few hundred thousand are taxed at a lower rate.
Tomatoes like a more acidic soil as well.
but by definition isn't a duopoly not competing with each other? I might be wrong, but I remember it being about the two companies making deals with each other to keep both prices high and not innovate or improve, like ISPs in the US

> Apple is not fundamentally against the use of nVidia products.

Are you sure about that? I don't know this story about Metal, but I believe Apple has refused to certify an nVidia driver on Mac since like 2018 (I think), effectively cutting Apple users off from using nVidia products on Apple platforms.
From an American perspective, it seems extremely easy to get into a 'top' UK university. Oxford and Cambridge admit around 20% of applicants. Compared to Princeton (6%), Stanford (4%), MIT (7%), etc. it seems like a cakewalk. Is there something I'm missing?
Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.

Maybe if you're not in that situation, you don't have the best insight into their mindset, how they would react, and at what point they decide to move to a different tax locale.

It's very easy, but not very helpful, to theorize about what you'd do given taxation policy you don't actually have to deal with.
I think in this case the wax lining on the pines would be moreso a property of the object rather than the apparatus through which we see the object.
NVIDIA really ratfucked them with the GPUs in MacBook Pros maybe a decade ago. They started failing like crazy, NVIDIA said they fixed it, they hadn’t, and then when things went to litigation NVIDIA blamed Apple for the GPU failures. Apple ran a giant recall and swore off using NVIDIA ever again.
> [T]he other party has every right to tell them No Deal.

Sure, but that's different than "You can't charge tech companies more than they themselves are making from the music." Of course you can, and you can do so long-term provided that new tech companies appear as existing ones fail.

I think it could be depressing if we think of "your product" as "the most important part of what you do". But we could also think of it as "the thing that you need to make money from". If the music itself isn't the thing that you need to make money from, then instead of charging a bunch for it, now you want to spread it as widely as possible as cheaply as possible. That's a good thing!

I mean, I don't think I'd make it exclusionary and private to only people that pass a test or something. Perhaps anyone could join, just with the request that they have an open mind and be generally happy.

And no worries about not understanding it, some of the writing on it naturally focuses on the more extreme cases. If you met me IRL you'd just think I'm a normal guy, perhaps one that's just mostly upbeat. I don't have any worries about a psychopath infiltrating whatever future group for that reason: most people with it are just normal people, but happier.

The only thing I can think of is that people with it are usually a good bit less risk-averse. So perhaps there'd be someone pushing people into doing risky things. But I already do risky things: just my last trip pre-Corona I hitchhiked on a dump truck through two countries and a conflict zone :) Furthermore, I already evaluate the risk of most things I do and direct my life accordingly. (For example, I avoid excessive driving, and as such I do most of my medium or long distance travel in very safe modes of transportation like the TGV, which has never had a fatal accident in its many years of operation.)

You've given me an idea for a comedy: someone tries to infiltrate the group to get everyone to go on a risky adventure, he succeededs, and then the entire time he tries to hide that he's the only one stressing out at all the danger while everyone else is enjoying it and having a great time :)

Really? On HN?!
Given an equal amount of expenditure, a single-payer healthcare system will always be able to deliver a better standard of care than a privatised one because of the greater negotiating leverage and the removal of a profit margin for the insurance provider.

It may be the case that in countries which spend less on health per capita than the US wait times tend to be longer on average (and I'm pretty sure the data says this isn't universally true), but that's not an inherent property of the single-payer system - and wait times for someone who would never be able to afford the surgery they need under the American system are infinitely shorter.

Depends on the startup. There were many who built on Twitter's API, and when Twitter dramatically limited access, it hurt those startup substantially. The overall sentiment here has been pretty cynical towards those who build on someone else's land.

Moreover, if it's a startup with the same ethics as Facebook, it will likely be applauded as preventing the next Facebook.

Being a only a year behind market leaders with your first product actually seems pretty impressive to me. Especially if that's at the (unreasonably priced) top of the line, and they have something competitive in the higher volume but less sexy down market segments.

Sounds like he's trying to redefine the music industry. Seems like most artists have a 5 year window, likely in their 20s where they'll produce something resonating with the current generation(s) and after that the younger clientele will be looking for something to define their own thing as well as the artist scratching around for some inspiring material. Generally of course. I take the position that most artists are in that bracket but exceptionally talented musicians have a longer lifespan.

Of course, a platform wants people to keep strutting out stuff on their own platform.

As for royalties from Spotify, perhaps an issue of the middlemen required and not required. I remember chat about the web being a great evener on this front where independents could strut their stuff and virality would take care of the rest.

Apparently convenience and one platform, as with so many things on the web trumps everything else.
One difference is that AMD only offers integrated graphics with weak CPUs, while Intel, unless something's changed recently, offers them on all their consumer models.
> since when are American army resources used to protect European borders and shipping routes? And from who?

Are you serious? We spent half of the 20th century risking nuclear holocaust because we wanted to curb Soviet expansion into Europe. Many Americans still have family that were drafted and sent across the ocean to West Germany.

Masks off.
In most scenarios a FIDO authenticator (for U2F/ WebAuthn) won't even sign your login attempt for the wrong site at all, because of how it works. We'll look at the original FIDO (second factor only) scenario because that's cheapest and apparently Twitter was very budget conscious on security?

This FIDO authenticator has absolutely no idea what your per-site keys are. Instead, the random-looking ID provided to the site when you register and then given back by the site when logging back in actually is your private key for that site... encrypted using AEAD with symmetric keys only the FIDO authenticator knows.

One of the ingredients for decrypting the key is rpIdHash which is SHA256(dnsName) where dnsName is the FQDN of the site you're looking at or some suffix of that FQDN chosen by the site. So here it could be news.ycombinator.com or ycombinator.com (Public Suffixes like com or co.uk are prohibited). The browser is responsible for calculating rpIdHash.

Thus on a phishing attempt usually the AEAD fails, the authenticator not only doesn't give the phishing site a signature that can be used to sign in on a different site, it will ignore this ID and act as though the user doesn't have a FIDO authenticator plugged in at all.

Hopefully they don't launch their satellites like they do AWS services. By going GA with a buggy service and letting the oncalls smooth it out for the next year.

More seriously though I think the race against time will be a real challenge.

There are few caveats to Amazon’s FCC approval. The company must launch half of the constellation by 2026 to retain its FCC license, and then the remaining satellites by 2029.

That is a lot of satellites to launch in 5 and half years which have to thread in with all the other scheduled launches and limited amount of launch sites to go from.
I understand the differences between homoiconicity and first class functions and even that modern languages often support them, but that support is typically an artifact of a functional (and not OOP) influence with the exception of function pointers in C whose origins im not sure about except that it doesn’t come from OOP. The point is that despite the confusion about “what does OOP mean, really”, there are no prominent arguments that suggest that homoiconicity or first class functions are defining characteristics.

That's how Russia sees it, at least, and I have a hard time arguing with that.
It is important to note the difference between state and mutable state as I believe you are conflating the two here. There is no reason that you cannot have structs.
> The future of those vector processing monsters is going to be ML (and maybe crypto).

Hopefully some of those cryptocurrencies (until they get proof-of-stake fully worked out) move to memory-hard proof-of-work using Curve25519, Ring Learning With Errors (New Hope), and ChaCha20-Poly1309, so cryptocurrency accelerators can pull double-duty as quantum-resistant TLS accelerators.

I'm not necessarily meaning dedicated instructions, but things like vectorized add, xor, and shift/rotate instructions, at least 53 bit x 53 bit -> 106 bit integer multiplies (more likely 64 x 64 -> 128), and other somewhat generic operations that tend to be useful in modern cryptography.
> Ek claimed that a "narrative fallacy" had been created and caused music fans to believe that Spotify doesn't pay musicians enough for streams of their music.

Fallacy? Scores of well-known musicians, from Bette Midler to Taylor Swift, have talked about how little they make through Spotify and other streaming platforms. IIRC Swift only joined the platform after cutting a special deal. Not everyone can do this. Quoting the guitarist for Mastodon, which has a much smaller following (https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2018/07/05/mastodon-guitari...):

I could live a thousand years, and Spotify plays [our music] all day long, and maybe I’ll just make a couple of thousand dollars.

Ek also said this:

> "Some artists that used to do well in the past may not do well in this future landscape," Ek said, "where you can’t record music once every three to four years and think that’s going to be enough.”

This quote reminded me of Joni Mitchell, who would take years-long breaks earlier in her career to escape from the business, work on songwriting, and recharge. Many other musicians can't, as Ek puts it, "create a continuous engagement with their fans" for reasons related to privacy, family life, finances, or mental health.

It's bad enough Spotify pays artists peanuts. But if Ek is tuning his platform to benefit only those artists who are willing to jump through Spotify's algorithmically generated hoops, and sideline everyone else, then the future of the music industry looks very dim.
when every alternative platform immediately gets filled with people who hold really despicable views, it's a hard pass for normal consumers to join

I've had multiple water filters break in the filter housing in my fridge, causing a leak onto the floor. I'm only thankful I was home when it happened or it would have flooded the kitchen, and likely more.

Its still an income tax, impacting 0.5% of taxpayers, and most companies reduce pay if the employee leaves the bay area for remote work or to work at a remote office. 1. The reduced pay might not be worth leaving. 2. There are also other benefits to be in California (e.g. friends, like-minded people, infrastructure, etc).

Even if some of those taxpayer chose to leave, demand for housing and goods/services is reduced, but supply stays constant. i.e. prices decrease for the people who choose to stay.

Reducing economic inequality for the people who choose to stay in California. Seems like a win either way.
> Is there something I'm missing?

Yes you're missing something.

My friends in the US all apply to a very large number of elite universities. In the UK I don't believe you're even allowed to apply to more than one elite university in the same year, and only a very small number of universities overall. One person I know in the US applied to 23 universities.

And then on top of that, in the UK all admissions for elite universities and most below that require an in-person interview, which the US (bafflingly) doesn't do.

I think I applied to one elite and two just below elite.

All of this means total applications in the UK are far fewer than in the US but each is more focused and more realistic which makes successful admissions seem higher. But really people who wouldn't have gotten in didn't apply in the first place.

> it seems extremely easy to get into a 'top' UK university

Also, what's with these scare-quotes? Are you skeptical that they're really top universities? They consistently top international rankings, alongside your best.

"Tightly binding data and code" allows you to maintain complex invariants via code, and to abstract away from the specifics of any single implementation. Statefulness per se is quite manageable; what's not manageable is shared, mutable state that isn't isolated to a single, modular, highly cohesive "unit" of code that can be understood in its totality. The real issues with OOP have to do precisely with things that break these principles, viz. implementation inheritance.
A lot of comments are saying people will leave. I don't think this is true.

I think a max 3.5% decrease in income is not going to make many people move. The difference in cost of living in any major California city over most other cities in the US is much larger than that, and didn't make people move.

What is true is it will be the last straw for some small amount of people already waffling over this. It's also true that it won't make much of an impact, both in terms of people leaving and in terms of additional revenue.
I disagree. Musicians can do whatever they want. Not very many musicians spend their time riding a perpetual wave that they have to continually feed. Spotify benefits the most from this churn.
Uh, you do realize the monopoly here is Koda right?

Google offers something many people would pay for, global distribution along with ways to monetize that content if desired (patreon links, ads etc).

Your analogy is so tortured I can't even follow it. Whatever yards the danes use is up to them. Google came after music and came after countries were formed. They built something and invited folks to use it (not paying users to use it).

Somehow now they can be forced to pay some random monopoly? Are the artists even allowed to license outside of Koda? I don't think so. Would artists pay to be listed on the home page of google - for sure!

I think google has confused folks a bit - business users should just pay a fee to them (could be modest) to avoid this type of confusion.

Anti-ICBM defenses in Europe undermine MAD, and if I were to believe the pro-nuclear-weapon people, (who insist that we are all better off pointing thousands of nukes at eachother), MAD is the only thing that has been keeping the world in relative peace for the past 60 years.

Serious question: Do you want to live in a world where MAD no longer works, but we still have all those thousands of nuclear weapons?
I dunno. I've known a few people who dreamed of being in a band, and they weren't excited about the part where they sit at a desk revising lyrics; they were excited to perform their songs, to get up in front of a crowd and have everyone hear them.

Ugh, I very much do not want musicians feeling forced to churn out more content on a set schedule. I don't get how anyone could look at the current music landscape and think that what we need is more quantity, at the expense of quality. Pushing for more new content is going to encourage more derivative low effort songs, and less original ideas.
