Obligatory HN-level nitpick: "coefficient" seems misplaced. It usually means "some number that gets multiplied with a named variable".

So I'd expect something like "synergy * hypergrowth * mrr_arr_all_the_rrs_me_hearties * activity * activity_coefficient".
What are you trying to imply here?

This is about income tax. 6% on someone making 13mill (2020$'s) a year seems fine

During a similar initiative, friends of mine in Italy have been kicked out by the local community, jealous they could enjoy such benefit.

Maybe some of these repopulation projects don’t consider enough the effect over the local rural communities, which are usually very conservative and suspicious toward “strangers”.
>First, any wealth tax being seriously discussed has a floor and/or has marginal rates, probably starting at 1 or 5 or 10 million (or higher).

The floor is adjustable. As more tax money is squander, the floor will be adjusted for greater taxation.

>Second, taxes don't disappear into nothingness

They actually do. The return on your tax dollar in California is abysmal.

>Fifth, the idea that people "will just move to another country" is very silly.

They can move to another state. Schwab is moving to TX. The tax savings will build their new corporate HQ in Westlake. How many Hedge Funds have left Conn, NY, NJ, etc for Florida?

I don't have a dog in this fight. Taxes are necessary but when the State is not held accountable for their spending and continues to squander tax dollars, there is no amount of money that will ever satiate them.

I hope California goes through with their plan. It will be an interesting to see the outcome.
Honestly, like all decisions, there were many factors. A big hurdle in this instance was that the existing application was written using a PHP framework that made generating something like a SwaggerDoc an extreme pain. Since we knew we'd have to write documentation outside the product anyway, and we were already using Postman for tests, using their (free, and already hosted someplace) docs was a no-brainer. It even allowed us to share the docs with 3rd party developers in a way where they could import the docs locally and run them -- again, via Postman in order to test their own uses of our API (simply by setting up a few variables like putting in their API key).
It's probably real easy to tell yourself you'll donate a couple million to charities that try to help with actual horrific things and that's way more important than some people having to use a different account/login system for their new luxury game system.

Who knows, maybe some (small amount) of people in similar positions actually follow through afterwards and do that.
Off topic, but on the topic of your specific example: there's a nice book called The Horse, The Wheel, and Language[1] about this.

Great if you want to learn about analysing fossil horse teeth for bridle bit wear. Oh, and about Indo-European languages.

Edit: By 'you" I didn't mean parent specifically but "the reader".

No, they are not. Epic and a lot of others would just go without Apple App Store if they could. They don't need discovery. They are adding value, but that value is for themselves, in form of a 30 % cut. That's not good for consumers or developers.
He said quite a few words in succession on religion. Somehow most of a century later, the intelligentsia persists in claiming that views such as these (i.e. those also of Dawkins et al.) are somehow "childish" or "culturally illiterate".

I cannot understand why we idle discussing religion. If we are honest—and scientists have to be—we must admit that religion is a jumble of false assertions, with no basis in reality. The very idea of God is a product of the human imagination. It is quite understandable why primitive people, who were so much more exposed to the overpowering forces of nature than we are today, should have personified these forces in fear and trembling. But nowadays, when we understand so many natural processes, we have no need for such solutions. I can't for the life of me see how the postulate of an Almighty God helps us in any way. What I do see is that this assumption leads to such unproductive questions as why God allows so much misery and injustice, the exploitation of the poor by the rich and all the other horrors He might have prevented. If religion is still being taught, it is by no means because its ideas still convince us, but simply because some of us want to keep the lower classes quiet. Quiet people are much easier to govern than clamorous and dissatisfied ones. They are also much easier to exploit. Religion is a kind of opium that allows a nation to lull itself into wishful dreams and so forget the injustices that are being perpetrated against the people. Hence the close alliance between those two great political forces, the State and the Church. Both need the illusion that a kindly God rewards—in heaven if not on earth—all those who have not risen up against injustice, who have done their duty quietly and uncomplainingly. That is precisely why the honest assertion that God is a mere product of the human imagination is branded as the worst of all mortal sins.

People hate other people. This causes huge amounts of damage, both to the hater and the hated.

Going a bit farther, people dehumanize other people, and then feel all right about treating them inhumanely. They do so based on race, gender, cis/trans status, politics, religion, sometimes even sports teams.
> I thought they were valued highly because of Musk's leadership, not ownership. Is that not the case? Even without his ownership stake, he can continue to be the CEO as long as the companies do well.

That's not how publicly traded companies work. If a sufficiently motivated activist investor accumulates a large enough ownership, they can decide to fire Elon Musk — and there are enough people that would like to see this happen on account of his crazy tweets.

That's the crux of the argument, that no matter how badly activists may want to remove Elon Musk as CEO, he's safe as long as he maintains his stake. A forced divestiture of that threatens his ability to maintain his leadership in those companies, and that's arguably not in the best interests of many existing shareholders today.
This is also the foundation of so-called Chaos Magic. It uses the 'mental frameworks' of any belief system to obtain results by becoming a temporary adherent of it. Switching frameworks would be done with physical objects, e.g. a pair of spectacles.

Those who say they can’t be bought are either saints (rare), or have never had a reasonable chance of being offered their price.

Most humans will get very morally flexible once offered enough resources; this is precisely why we have contracts and courts, to create structural systems more capable of upholding agreements than individual humans can do alone.

I had reason to try to create an FB burner account not so long ago, but I couldn't get through into any worthwhile practical use without providing photo ID, despite giving them actual pristine phone numbers on every try. My guess is they force it upon every identity where they don't already have linkability from phone books they've snooped through, and the like.

The argument is that, if I invent the Telephone 2.0, I can pretty confidently predict I won't be allowed to capture so much of the profit from it. This provides an incentive for companies to shift their R&D spending towards product development rather than foundational research.

Certainly you can get a considerable amount of salary, depending on your angle of working in a startup.
In the recent career changes, I often look at 1-2 years old start-up where tech side has been rather stagnant.
My angle is clear -> getting stuffs done, move the tech forward and make sure it is aligned with the company's direction

But this is not enough for founders to have a peace of mind regarding your commitment.

- If you have already built a reputation, then that's enough for you to argue for a market rate salary.

- Else you would need to trade for some equity.

What are you getting out of this compared to a corp job:

- The work is likely more interesting.

- Away from corporate landscape (if that's not your thing)

- Gaining experience in new domain, doing thing in new ways.

Tough to say without knowing the relative costs of acceleration and building a spaceship out of an asteroid when using advanced and alien technology.
It absolutely can. PCIe 3x16 is at around 16GB/s speed, hence, uploading parameters at full speed would be around 50 seconds. That probably is the bottleneck for this case though. A minor issue is that the NVIDIA consumer cards (or any cards besides the new A100) doesn't support bfloat16, I am uncertain fp16 is sufficient for this model or not.

Edit: It probably is, considering you only need weights to be fp16, while intermediate layers can be fp32 and reuse these memory.
Another name for it is being maliciously or callously antisocial. I wish fewer people desired to tear apart the social fabric for short term personal gain. A world where people could trust each other would be a better world for everyone including you.
You want it to be a peripheral, Facebook wants it to be a platform.
Cash equivalent accounts are NOT cash. The cash has been loaned out.

If you deposit $100 in the bank, you do NOT have cash in the bank. The bank loans it out 9 times over, that's right, your $100 turns into $900 of loans handed out to people and businesses who spend/invest it.

It's the magic of fractional reserve banking.

A massive clue that it is not idle cash is when interest is paid on the balance. That can only happen if the cash is "put to work", i.e. it is NOT cash.
Agreed in principle, but even Dirac felt his life was richer for it.

"Feelings" are part of the human condition. They're worth some work.
I'm answering a rant about how unreasonable it is for a nonwealthy person to care about a wealth tax. The income tax was sold to us as a tax on only very high earners, a tiny percent of everyone.

(I think it's fair to characterize rhetoric that starts with "disingenuous whining" and goes on from there as a rant.)
You have software. You sell it to HyperGloboMegaCo.

Someone at HGMC needs to install it. Someone needs to connect it to the fascinating LDAP proxy that a previous Enterprise Architect banged out one Sunday evening. Someone needs to add it to the SSO. Someone needs to get to the point where a first user does a first thing.

Now you have a user. Often they struggle too. Now you need someone to show the user how to get best value from your tool. Not unreasonable for complex tools which are, after all, complex.

I have mixed feelings about it as a practice. To me it seems like an organisational smell, a trailing indicator of product flaws.

Compare old cars with newer cars. You used to need a lot of car servicing and that was seen as normal and acceptable. Then one day Toyota showed up and made it obvious that it needn't be normal and it wasn't acceptable at all.

This might be something to add to the FAQ page - what is the legal/regulatory status of your product?
Rules in Italy about restoration are very detailed, but, depending to the place, restoration using original materials and techniques is not that expensive, it may be even cheaper.

In Italy, at least in my experience, what increases the costs are taxes, and requirements to declare the “habitability” of a place...
just a nit: Facebook does not collect "shadow profiles".
HN has one of the most risk averse communities, which is surprising for one started by a VC. Questions like this are going to get biased answers.
1) No aftertaste! Prove me wrong and I'll venmo you back

2) There's hardly any sugar in this product because it is so potent. GI basically 0. Some research shows that it may even improve your insulin response.

3)The protein is fairly heat stable. I'd say that whatever food you put in your mouth without scorching it is safe enough for the protein so you should be safe enough. I ran an experiment at 60°C for an hour and a half and it still worked.

4)Sooooo many reasons. This is a next-generation sweetener. It is summarized on my benefits page but to put it here:

• 1 serving lasts your 30-60 minutes regardless of how much food you eat. It actually saves me time in the morning because isntead of putting and stirring honey into my tea and yogurt, I just consume Palate Pal and in 10 seconds I'm good to go

•This doesn't just sweeten, it enhances flavor. You literally pick up on flavors that you before couldn't notice. The cream and vanilla in yogurt, intense flavor in an otherwise bland "dud" strawberry, the floral notes of an IPA.

•There is a lot of concerning research on artificial sweeteners like sucralose. You've heard the BS on cancer but the really scary thing is that it changes the bacteria in your gut to upregulate pathways that promote obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

•And yeah, maybe you don't mind the taste but lots of people seem to. If I haven't convinced you to give it a try by now, then sorry :(
I recall trying to leave a negative review on a set of nail clippers. I assumed it didn't matter how low quality they were, just as long as they cut nails. Little did I know that I received a set of 3 that weren't aligned by what looks like design to cut nails.

I tried to leave a review with what I said above, but it was flagged and removed. I got an email that it didn't meet review requirements.

Are you running on StarThinker from Google?

This shiny piece of software engineering at their Github account is currently commoditizing the infrastructure F500 companies would outsource to SaaS and agencies because they didn't do tech.

Last year more than half of the big companies out of Europe started moving to a brand new in-house data driven marketing team. Vodafone and Adidas are already fully operational.

It's written in Python and it seems to operate like Airflow with DAG recipes but simpler without coding.

Plug & play realtime dash-boarding in Data Studio that can visualize a ridiculous amount customization of all the data Google services produces.

https://datastudio.google.com/gallery?category=marketing

StarThinker sends out custom reporting via email of all Google ads services which even has a custom DAG rate limiter recipe named floodlight.

StarThinker supports currently more API's out of the box than you, even Smartsheets API has a custom recipe.

You can spin up a cluster with working UI in the cloud within 8 minutes.

In what ways are compressed air safer and simpler for transmission? Off the top of my head I can only think of advantages for electricity:

* Electrical transmission lines are lighter and smaller per watt than compressed air transmission lines.

* Electrical transmission has lower inductance than compressed air has equivalent momentum.

* Compressed air vessels can fail explosively; electrical stuff just heats up.

* One has to contend with adiabatic heating/cooling when exchanging air pressure for flow rate, while there's no analogous concerns when using transformers to exchange voltage for amps.

* Electrical equipment tends to be much quieter than air equipment.
But a good party is often one with specialized characters, so each can shine.
As someone who recently had a kidney stone, my doctor recommended that I drink half a cup of lemon juice every day (as part of a kidney stone prevention diet).

I have been making lemonade every day, but none of the artificial sweeteners taste good, so I have been using sugar. I'm curious how well this miracle berry would work if it was used to sweeten lemonade?

I'm also curious about the health risks?
>Porn is the counterexample. As a pariah, it had no ability to affect DRM,

Bullshit. Porn DEFINED the fucking media, no pun intended. They pushed the VHS against Beta. They were pioneers on online payment methods, and live chats over the web.

Currently, porn CDN's are HUGE, and the industry pays MILLIONS worldwide. You have no idea.
I had a similar idea previously for interstellar travel.
My idea was to fire fuel pellets ahead of the rocket so it would collect them up as it accelerated, relative velocity being not too much.

However Anything orbiting the sun wouldn’t be able to stay on target to fire the fuel for long. Calculating the trajectory to account for gravity would be problematic. The whole process would be too brittle, if something went wrong it could well be impossible to recover.

Nifty idea was to fire the pellets before and after, so when it flips mid-flight it could collect fuel pellets to decelerate.

This is correct, but a wealth tax is a bit of a non-sequitur, as it's a solution that has almost nothing to do with the problem.

If the problem is middle class purchasing power, then the solution should be to directly improve middle class purchasing power (via a UBI).

And no, a wealth tax will not come remotely close to funding a UBI.
Fair point. I was simply following the "common practice" from other products making these claims, which is to not store personal user data and only generate an anonymous ids.

Maybe that's not fully compliant, I don't know, so I went ahead and removed any mention of GDPR from the website. It's not really my goal anyways. I'm just trying to release free software while they are charging money and making these claims.
I think you'd have a pretty good case in the UK too - the device is no longer fit for the purposes for which it was sold, and a user could point towards Lucky's statement as a company representation as to what the product was sold for.
> Instead, I believe research has simply become less profitable over time.

Every era says this and every era is always wrong.

However, if you insulate businesses against monopoly prosecution and allow them to buy back their stock to manipulate the price, that's a LOT easier to manage than a research lab.

It also didn't help that stock became a "lottery ticket" rather than a "dividend source".
Yes. My understanding of these things based mostly on trolling through the various digital imagery company websites, is that many of the small satellites can generate detail as good as the "big guys" (at least as far is known in open sources) by using a telescopic lens. The difference however is aperture. Given the size of the optics on a small satellite the amount of area it can cover at 1 meter per pixel resolution is much smaller than something with a very large aperture could. As a result if you take a 10 Mpixel image with 1 meter per pixel accuracy that is a region roughly 3.2km on a side. Not a particularly large area.
