Exactly this, it comes with just life. Not everyone is a struggling single person blowing their money. Sometimes things just grow as you go even when you are not living an outrageous life style.
IIRC, the Russians actually used ordinary ballpoint pens.
The IRS collects more money by collecting the money people actually owe but did not pay. Taxes could be reduced by as much as 10% if the IRS was able to collect the underpaid taxes. I don't know why you're against that.

For your final selfish argument, it's debatable to say it's better for you that others spend their money on taxes rather than less on taxes and spending it however they please.

The IRS doesn't determine tax rates or tax laws, it just enforces them. And to note, all of the infrastructure that pays for the road the delivery company used the deliver the couch, and the forests which provided the lumber for the couch's frame, and the ease of contract which made all of these transactions...were all made possible by the taxes collected and paid by all of these people.

Tax is a vital part of the economy. It's the price (fee) you pay for the government services that underpin everything else.

Creating companies is indeed a bureaucratic nightmare in Germany (where I currently live); but its doable if you need it done.

It's easier in e.g. Finland, Sweden, Estonia (which actually have produced some nice startups like Spotify, Skype, etc.). IMHO given the relatively small populations, places like that are actually remarkably successful when it comes to startups and technology companies. Finland has a mere 5 million people. I mean, Nokia for whom I used to work came from that tiny country and dominated the smart phone market for a while.

However, the real issues are more related to securing investments and funding and the inevitable process of having to shut down a company in case it fails. Which with a startup is more likely to happen than not. Failing fast is hard in a legal system that is purposely designed to make this hard.

It's also risky. You take a personal risk when you start a company and when a company can't pay its bills, it's the managing directors who are on the line with their personal capital. Limited liability is not so limited in Germany and it prevents companies from taking risks. There are all sorts of tricks to prevent that from escalating of course but they all involve the use of accountants, lawyers, and other middle men that are costly. And given that it is hard to raise seed capital in Germany, very little gets off the ground here.

Berlin where I live is a bit unusual in the sense that despite all this, there are loads of startups here and a density of capital and talent that is hard to find elsewhere in Europe. I always joke that this is despite the German government rather than because of their policies. It's basically a weird side-effect of the place being pretty much bankrupt. Local government here is basically just moving paper around and tends to be very hands-off because they have no budget for basically anything; including going after pesky startups taking liberties with the rules and regulations. Everything in this country is regulated to death but Berlin seems to be reasonably relaxed and informal.

For better or worse, people just showed up here from all over the world and started doing stuff after the wall came down. Lately, big German corporations that are trying to look hip are opening startup accelerators all over Berlin. Like all of them: Bosch, Siemens, VW/Porsche, etc. all are present here. Silicon Valley also moved in: MS, Apple, Tesla, Google, etc. all have offices here. And of course Tesla is building a Giga factory.
so they started you out at 330k? what were the determinants going into that starting offer? that's pretty great
> Even the 1000s of years old Chinese civilization never invented science and had to wait for it to be imported.

This line didn't pass the sniff test for me, so I did a quick Wikipedia check on the history of science in China. [1] Given the fact that Chinese Society has a large population and long written history, it seemed a bit strange to think that science and technology might have been imported from elsewhere 1000 years ago.

It was actually quite cool! Turns out gunpowder and crossbows were invented there for gaining an advantage in war. [3][4] In AD 132, Zhang Heng created the first seismometer to study or detect earthquakes. [2] Looks like China's had science longer than the United Kingdom's been united.

Worth noting that Monotype's version of NHG, which IIRC was produced in partnership with Font Bureau and is identical to the linked specimen, is available via Adobe Fonts (né TypeKit), and so to anyone with a Creative Cloud subscription. This makes it somewhat more accessible than similar grotesques, and you'll see it in many places if you're looking.
A tariff is very literally defined as a tax on imported goods, so neither income taxes nor payroll taxes are tariffs on labor.

They are simply taxes on labor.
If developers aren’t exposed to the deficiencies in their systems, they have no incentive to reduce SRE pages and triage. Build resilient code with quality documentation and you don’t have to attend a 3am conf call.

DevOps is not a role or role segregation, it’s about aligning incentives and outcomes across functions in an org (hopefully through collaboration, tooling, and knowledge transfer).

The caveat is that if your org is fundamentally broken, none of the above applies or works and it’s all lipstick on a pig.
Some of the Lagrange points allow for more stable orbits so would presumably be better places to look.

Proving non existence in impossible and only takes one case for it to be disproven.

If you're willing to take my word for it: it is possible. I've met those who have radically changed themselves, and have met others who walk the path (& the latter are amazing enough).

Darkness doesn't exist where Light does. It's a matter of sacrificing the darkness for something better.

Remaining staunchly skeptical, distrustful, or scoffing the path is a sure way of not seeing it. It requires objectivity, particularly in spite of one's own prejudices.
This is from June. I wonder where things stand now?
They go on sale several times a year with big stacked incentives. I can't give you a reference directly to one advertised at 20K, but here is one at 21.7K: https://www.carrchevrolet.com/new/Chevrolet/2020-Chevrolet-B...

I shopped around and got another local dealer to undercut Carr by more than a thousand bucks. But they don't advertise that price on their public web site.

$2500 of the discount is coming from a state tax rebate (which is applied at the time of purchase, not something you have to wait for when you file your taxes). $3000 is from Costco, and I have no idea who actually pays for that.

So some people won't get all the way down to $20K, it'll depend on what state they live in and whether they are Costco members or not. Some states do better than $2500. Carr likes to say "everyone qualifies for this price" so I'm not sure what their discounts are comprised of.
Everything written in the American press is from the side of America. Guess what - Pfizer isn’t inventing their Covid vaccine, it’s BioNTech. Johnson & Johnson didn’t invent theirs, it was Janssen (though at least the latter is now owned by J&J).
I'm not sure exactly what the right analogy is, but although VC is apt in some ways, it's not really appropriate in many other ways.

With research the goal is accomplishing some project. That is the goal. It's not to become a self-sustaining business because that's not the goal, and there's no way to do that anyway. You're not asking to jumpstart something toward independence, it's more akin to VC where you have to return over and over to the same VCs forever. Moreover, there's pressure to ask those VCs for funds even if your project doesn't need their money, or to ask them for more money than you need, because there's some third party pointing a weapon at you so they can skim off funds. In fact, because independence isn't even possible or relevant, things get weird in terms of whether or not you get actual revenue from customers (ala citations, impact, or whatever).

So yeah, it's like VC, but where the VCs don't pay attention to your actual profitability, and instead fund whatever they happen to be interested in, and are really bad at financial management, and you're required to go to them anyway for funds because someone is profiting off of it.

A better analogy in my mind is if everyone hired plumbers not to fix their plumbing, but to apply for government money for plumbing projects because those plumbing grants paid handily to the homeowner. Everyone ends up hiring good grant writers and plumbing in the country falls apart.
Indeed this is precisely the unwarranted nihilism I'm criticizing, where if we were to believe that consensus in philosophy is impossible, so would philosophical progress--and therefore knowledge. This is a libelous claim that all philosophers are engaging in intellectual masturbation explicitly aware that their exercises are to be of no progress.

The Pyrrhonists, Diogenes, Descartes and others famously believed in this; but Kant fixes this, making the discipline of philosophy possible by proving the scope of reason.
> Where there is a will there is a way.

I get it that you don't have a family or maybe you just don't have the money.

Here in Canada there was this provincial deputy from a very left leaning and pro public transport party that got elected. You know the first thing she did with her salary? She bought a SUV (https://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2018/11/19/la-deputee-catherine-...)

> The truth is the lack of proper urban planning due to over reliance on the automobile is why European cities always feel so much nicer than cities in the states you mention.

And we saw how that was great during the pandemic, and that's not even mentioning other calamities that could happen. And that's not even taking snow into account. Not everyone lives in California.

> If we continue to embrace sprawl then we will continue to have long commutes, worse health, and be isolated in our homes without anything to walk to.

Or organize planning so that everything is more distributed. There are no reasons for mega cities to exist in the Internet Age.

I'd put quora in there too, why is all this walled content at the top of google constantly? It's not even high quality.
Step 1: did you receive money? That is income.
Step 2: if you incurred expenses in making that money, and that money is not a wage/salary paid by a business, deduct those expenses from the income in Step 1. Otherwise, deduct nothing.
Step 3: look at the tax table for the amount at the end of Step 2 to see what the tax you owe is.

It only gets complicated if you want it to be complicated, such as if you're trying to maximize potential deductions or minimize taxable income by exploiting loopholes or special provisions.
why do you dislike pinterest results?
If underground construction is so easy now, why not move all the people underground and leave the roads in place? It's much easier to build a lot of unconnected spaces vs a network, and being in a highrise is basically the same as being in an underground box
Yeah... I think when your beliefs are then saying that other people in society should be treated as lesser and then you push money to enable those beliefs, it crosses a line.

If people just thought stupid shit but didn’t act or vote or spend money on it, it’d not be of consequence. Problem is, few people do that. They want their beliefs to be implemented. If they think gays aren’t worthy of being treated as equals then they’re probably gonna act on it.
I was quite shocked to see just how snappy and clean medium is with javascript turned off, via uBlock. Reminded me of the old web. No noticeable functionality loss, other than the auto highlight popup stuff, which is not missed.
I could go into a lengthy explanation on this point, but it boils down to a difference in culture primarily rooted in (1) available space and (2) historical land usage.

And what you're referring to is not a problem, because it is objectively useful to have a large truck in the middle of nowhere. I enjoy being able to move lots of things at once without asking another person for help. Also, have you ever had a tract of land in a rural part of the USA? It's quite nice.

Europeans have a tendency to think they're superior to Americans, but that's just classist crap that needs to stop. The USA has cool things, and so do Germans and Austrians and Belgians and the French and so on. Why divide ourselves?
Unfortunately those are philosophical writings, the bar for "most interesting" is really low here. If you are looking for Sappho or Euripides or even Ennius, it's not in there.
No, sorry. Don’t make your content freely accessible on the web if you don’t want to bear the cost of hosting it. Don’t serve it over a protocol that explicitly doesn’t require a user agent to mindlessly obey the commands given to it by virtue of running on someone else’s machine.
I shower up to twice a day on the regular. I’d rather have dry skin than smell of BO. But even though I regularly shower twice a day, I only get dry skin in the dead of winter when ambient outdoor temps are sometimes as low as -25F.
NeXT computers could do this in the 1980s.
While this is generally true, there are situations where departments cannot afford to lose you (yet are handcuffed by the higher-ups to the point where they can't incentivize you to stay), and if you know for sure you're in that situation (usually that's less true than you think), then maybe giving them some extra notice would be good.

But you shouldn't feel like you have to, it's on the company for not being better prepared and having some contingencies and some knowledge and responsibility sharing of some sort in place.

Like someone at my job just gave three months notice today, and my company would be insane to let him go early. They are utterly reliant on him. And it will take time to train someone to follow in his footsteps.

I hope they do hire someone before he leaves that he can train, and not just let him leave without replacing him like they've done so many other times before, because they would be in deep trouble this time.

Like maybe they lose their clients from missing their contractual obligations and the department will have to shut down trouble.

But if I were in those shoes, I probably wouldn't give more than a month at the very most, though.

The one time I did that, I was the only programmer at a small company, and I felt like I'd be leaving them in a really bad position if I didn't give them more notice.

But it didn't seem like the company took advantage of that month anyway, and didn't hire anyone for me to train during that entire time. I mostly just documented what I did as best as I could for two weeks and then just did my normal job until it was time to leave. But they let me keep working the entire month, and didn't force me out early.
That is result of 4x fuel prices more than anything else.
Yeah, but consider the base rate. Even if the things we create are more permanent that footprints, there are just so many footprints that some of them, by unbelievable triple-corner case coincidences, end up here for us. Even if the chance per footprint is really low, there are so many of them made over the course of hundreds of millions of years that it doesn't matter. Our 100 year industrial history is nothing compared to that.
As vkou said, the hiring manager has no idea what taxes the wife will pay...but the payroll manager does, and could probably tell her exactly what she would pay based on her start date, estimated wages based on expected shifts, and exemptions.

Expecting the hiring manager to know the tax stuff would be like expecting the dev team to know how much income tax the business is going to pay.
To me, a fun ISA is one which provides opportunities for golf, which basically means CISC ISAs with lots of different ways to do things. RISC-V is proudly, definitively not that and that's a good design decision, but you'll never be able to replace a stretch of straightforward code with a handful of more obscure opcodes and complicated addressing modes.

I'll always have SIMH.
What you are planning to do is illegal. Depression is considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. If you have more than 15 employees, you are obliged to provide reasonable accomodations for such employees, and you may not discriminate against them while hiring.

It is also deeply unethical. If they've expressed some intent to not take it seriously, you'd have a point, but the idea that people with less-than-stellar mental health shouldn't have jobs is completely sickening.
No one should be offended because you enjoy different things in life than they do.

Perhaps if they somehow first convince themselves that the “whole world is suffering” because someone has a vehicle which can fit their nuclear family in it, and second convince themselves that condescending you on a message forum is an appropriate way to somehow lessen that behavior...

But no, that comment is just out of order.

I saw an interesting article today “Joe Rogan World vs NPR World” [1] which describes our current political environment, and it seems to me this type of interaction is emblematic of it.

The range of the C208 isn't that far, so I'm guessing that would help for serving somewhere like the Aleutian Islands. The huge win you're alluding to would be basically ignoring ETOPS for long-haul cargo flights, but those will all be on much larger planes.
I wonder how long the Egyptian pyramids would last.
Not everyone lives in big cities without snow and without kids.
I don't think that every event is equally important or that any event is "special". Rather, the avoidance of paradoxes is. You just have to ensure the alternate history you get with respect to an action (or an event) doesn't preclude that event from happening. So if you go back to stop a disease from escaping a lab in Texas, that doesn't stop the disease from escaping two months later from a lab in California. The key is the avoidance of paradoxes.
This is cool, a nice beginner or general convenience feature might be the ability to highlight some basic scales like major/minor. This would probably get people off the ground writing music that sounds good much quicker.
Your math is bad, and you're using a nonstandard set of numbers.

Generally in CA, and most of the US, you would receive health insurance through your employer, and the bulk of your medical insurance premiums are non-taxable subsidies by the employer.
I do wonder whether there should be laws limiting acceleration as there are speed limits.
> Beyond k8s itself, I feel as if I'm drowning in the ecosystem which has grown around it.

Everyone else is drowning in it too. There's a recent photo making the rounds on twitter showing the insanity of how many components are part of the Cloud Native Foundation's offerings.

My advice as someone with a slightly different situation, but similar feelings of inadequacy is this: Remember that the higher up you get, the more your knowledge about how businesses work, and how to deliver value with software matters. Those skills I feel like are gained and honed with experience, not with knowledge of ever shifting tech stacks.
I tried this 7 years ago and I got way too greasy all over, so much acne, so much time trying to get clean in the shower. Hair like the fonz. And I’m old. Gave it up after about 2 weeks. Should I have stuck it out?

Note this is Whitehead's and Russell's Principia. Although provably a failed project, I've found tremendous value in the texts.
Doesn't this still depend on what specifically "math" is referring to? Sure there is some underlying concept, but when people use the word math I think they are largely referring to the language that has been/continues to be built up to describe those concepts. Without at least learning the existing language one would have to rebuild a ton of foundations themselves before they could do much of anything. I suppose you could say the same thing about e.g. biology but I don't think it's quite analogous, as terminology is nowhere near as precise and things often don't abstract super nicely.
I think a strategy for launching something like this where an existing incumbent already exists (ie. StackOverflow) would be to niche down into a single programming topic, such that the answers within this micro community are much better than the ones found elsewhere. When this happens, then branch out. Good luck on the launch!

The fact that crimes happened is not pressure upon governments to act upon them, no.

Governments generally only respond to public pressure or existential threats to their power and control and revenue, and little else.
Figure between $50 and $100 per hour for two pilots and that's not an insignificant addition to flight cost.
Yeah that’s a bit like saying you enjoy spelling bees, whereas a language that is idiomatic enough to allow for competitive spelling to exist as a real thing has fundamentally failed at its job.

This is interesting, thanks for sharing it! It would take me some time to read it, but given that you seem the have already looked into this, I was wondering whether you have suggestion for a wider set of studies, a meta-study maybe.

I am asking, because if I have to choose between my empirical observations (anecdotal as they are, given it is n=1 observers), and a single piece of research without followups, I do feel justified to stick to what I have seen myself. But I am open to be convinced otherwise.
Some of your developers might have that experience even if they were not hired as devops engineers, or they might be able to consult with their colleagues who are developers who have that experience but aren't devops engineers. I think it is usually better to let people work in the way that is most efficient for them. Also, this doesn't necessarily have to apply to production systems.

Further, you're in no way required (nor would you expect) to provide IDs for most HTML elements. In modern frontend development you often avoid styling elements by ID entirely, favoring classes instead.

I find that it depends on the environment for me. If I'm in a dark room, I'll use dark mode for most tools. If I'm in a light room, ditto for light mode.

I default to dark on most things though, because I find light theme worse in a dark environment then I find dark theme negative in a bright one.

Also, my terminal will always be dark.
