> I think if someone makes such party, people will vote for it as taxes affect them directly or indirectly.

2 issues.

As stated in another comment, most of the income taxes / import taxes etc affect a tiny fraction of the population. Not really a huge voter base there. Influential and disproportionately powerful - but not enough to swing elections I think.

Also these taxes fund a huge number of programs that will need to be cut down or cancelled which will affect a lot of people (who don't necessarily make enough to pay income taxes). Not really something that any government can do in good conscience if they want to hold power.
I don't know about uncle bob. But certainly what he said is untrue. Programming doesn't even have "while loops" as a primitive. From that wrong statement I assume uncle bob doesn't know much.

Of course I could be wrong. I don't know the guy. But that statement alone is enough for me to make a negative judgement against him.

Sorry, I can see how 'badly' would land badly. I just meant that it isn't a borderline case. HN has that title rule for really good reasons and the submitted title clearly broke the rule. Let's not get too worried about that though. It's a good submission and that is 100x more important.

Edit: maybe one clarification would help. Factual accuracy is good and necessary but not sufficient; there are many facts one could choose from, and cherry-picking the fact that you think is most important and making that be the title is a form of editorializing. It's actually the main form of editorializing.

I grant you that the title you used is probably what most of us would consider most interesting, when looking at that article from the present moment.
I'm pretty sure the comment you're replying to didn't intend to suggest any connection between the Sierra Nevada and the Great Smoky Mountains, but to show that the usage of "smoky" as an adjective for mountains does not necessarily mean literal smoke. The Great Smoky Mountains are just one example of this usage (thus "Great".) Similarly note the usage of "blue peaks" which probably doesn't mean the peaks were actually blue but that Rayleigh scattering was being observed.
I read the bernie m4a policy, it was a tax increase. There was no breaking up healthcare cartels. Instead they would be paid by taxes.
Morally, taking that hormone is still wrong. And so should it be according to the rules too.

If you now answer that it's unfair that the person with naturally occurring higher levels can have it but those with lower levels can't "level" the playing field, well, tough luck. That's just the lottery that gives some people an advantage in certain sports. We all accept that some people are naturally tall and therefore have advantages in basketball. Or some people have naturally stronger VO2 max and thereby advantages in endurance sports.

The competition is how far you can get with the _natural state_ of your body, plus training. Not how far you can get as long as everybody pumps some substances up to a previously-agreed-upon threshold. Those thresholds are just the sad plan-B solution of anti-doping agencies if they can't directly measure doping substances and need to resort to measuring the effects instead. That actually disadvantages those with naturally higher effects.

Nobody would think of restricting maximum leg length, and as long as your legs are not longer than that it's fine to surgically extend them.

And the last 20 have not been. These patterns also have not shown up in other places with the same climate patterns but different policies.

> I think this was true before both started pushing algorithmic feeds over chronological ones.

While it's true that algorithmic feeds fundamentally give the platform control over what you see, this is not the type of slam dunk argument you are making it out to be.

First of all, the primary reason social media platforms move to algorithmic feeds is to increase engagement (eyeballs, ad revenue etc.), not censorship. And this is because a lot of the content posted by people is crap and not interesting to others, and a purely chronological timeline puts all such content at equal footing. For the longest time FB let you switch to a chronological feed, and for most people, it was absolute crap, because generic posts by your friends, updates about changes they made, social media posts by brands etc. all got exactly the same weightage, and you had to trawl through a lot of crap to find useful stuff on the feed.

Left to their own devices (and by that I mean, without traditional media raking them through the coals every single day), these platforms would be happy to keep leftists in their leftist bubbles, rightists in their rightist bubbles, and so on, as long as it kept all these factions individually engaged and happy.

Do you think Facebook _enjoys_ dealing with these pointless he-said she-said sort of arguments every day whenever something contentious comes up? They don't. It's a HUGE time and money sink for them, and causes reputational damage no matter what decision they take, because someone will always be upset.
I don't agree that putting a period in casual textual communication is inherently hostile. I also don't agree that those who do are just simply unaware of the chaos they are causing.

In a way having Monero is like having large piles of cash. As long as you can prove they came from legitimate sources and that all taxes on them were paid, you have nothing to worry about.

Yes I believe I understand and agree with what you are talking about.

I was a varsity wrestler and football player in high-school and in football you can have one break out star and it really can considerably change the game but they are still largely supported by everyone on the field playing their position as best they can. Your QB can be absolutely amazing but if a guard or tackle is slacking that QB is going to be sacked over and over but in most cases it's a lot harder to see the impact.

In wrestling everyone can individually perform amazingly but at most you're only contributing 6 points to the score but if you've ever seen one wrestler perform well at the top of the lineup you can just see how it influences everyone else and triggers a run, like you said immediate and obvious to all.
My understanding is that polyurethane adhesives are better suited for CLT, and don't have the same emissions problems.

Points/coins sounds like a change that will have mixed effects and impact the culture of the community. If the project is growing without it, there are almost certainly less controversial features that will enhance more users' experiences.

To put it another way, once a site has points/coins or another way of keeping score, it will attract behaviors optimized for accumulating points/coins or other way of keeping score even when those behaviors are harmful to the site. Even worse is if the rules for points/coins or other way of keeping score are changed to reduce damaging behavior, users will complain. Essentially, points/coins or ways of keeping score will tend to create whak-a-mole work for site moderators.

I did initially, but haven't explored it in a while. One of the fun aspects of Barrett's is that, in order to develop it, the issue has to have been present and untreated for quite a while. And the erosive effects by that point are too severe and act as a contraindication for most surgical procedures, including LINX it appears[1]. I also have a hiatal hernia which acts as another contraindication to most surgical therapies.

I hadn't heard of the LINX procedure yet and will definitely bring it up at my next GI visit. But the general consensus I've gotten from all of my GIs over the years is that surgical interventions for Barrett's is a door that can't be shut, and once you start you'll likely require progressively more invasive procedures over time rather than a one-and-done surgery. And that it's best to manage it with PPIs for as long as possible before opening that door (and the potential complications that come along with the surgeries).

Attempted kidnappings are basically non existent in most Western areas. I am sorry you lived in such places, but I really don't think that is normal. It is not normal to need someone going with you to car either, in most places.

I find it funny you were labelling my comments as ad hominem. I thought we were only allowed to discuss the merits of a specific story.

We were talking about the New York Post and the documents from Hunter Biden's laptop. I don't know what unverified information you are referring to here or how that would be relevant to this discussion. What is clear is that many "real journalists" were not satisfied enough with the evidence to publish it. That even includes organizations like Fox News that have a bias that would seem to align with publishing the story.
Agreed. Offshore even.
Esqueleto and persistent are quite nice. Their one downside is SqlPersistT. The abstraction makes sense, but once you have people putting that thing as the base Monad in your stack, you're in trouble. Its nature means it holds a transaction (and therefore connection!) open during the entire action if used that way. This will cause big problems, like causing requests to queue on your connection pool if some other IO/parts of the code are slow and hogging the connection.

Farmers, particularly large ones, are pretty savvy about what is more or less profitable for them. If they could add labor and save more money on fertilizer than the additional labor cost, they'd probably already be doing it.

> That it is not very dense doesn't change much here.

It does matter, because at some density there are no sound waves anymore. You can’t have sound waves if particles do not collide with each other. And also speed of sound goes down as density goes down. So for this extremely non-dense plasma it’s unclear how “sound wave” is defined.
Unlike, say, your circulatory system or digestive system, your immune system is not a separate set of distinct and readily identifiable organs with a specific and isolated function of "immunity." Your skin is part of your so-called immune system. Your gut is part of your so-called immune system. Your respiratory tract is part of your so-called immune system.

Figuring out that the system as a whole is generally designed to keep out invaders and there is no separate distinct "immune system" was enormously helpful to me in understanding how to effectively cope with a compromised immune system due to a genetic disorder, so my underlying condition cannot be fixed. But there is a lot I can do to shore up the functioning of my impaired body with the right mental models.

Nice comment, but one nit: I think awareness + acceptance + gratitude is a better path than ignoring an illness. I say this as someone that has a lot of deeply ingrained avoidance behaviors (e.g. smoking weed 24/7 to mask anxiety and pain, isolating myself to avoid social anxiety). Obviously, ignoring problems can often make them worse, and sometimes simple solutions do exist (e.g. I have had disabling IBS off and on for 20+ years that is improved significantly by avoiding alcohol and taking fiber). That said, everyone needs relief at times, so be kind to yourself about avoidance patterns.

Awareness is simply noticing how I feel without judgment or reaction, but with the attitude of a curious observer. So instead of A: (feel pain —> “I’m fucked up / disabled” narrative) or B: (feel pain —> <ignore> —> <subconscious avoidance behaviors>), it’s like C: (feel pain —> “this is a sensation I’m experiencing” —> <no action>). Needless to say, this is not an easy thing to do and takes practice.

Acceptance to me means not defining myself or my self-worth in terms of my illness(es), or comparing myself to others. However, it does not mean accepting defeat or relinquishing hope that things can improve.

Gratitude looks like being aware of and thankful for the wide world of things that you can do and experience, the people that love you (even if you can’t think of any, they’re out there), and remembering the “fact” that being a conscious creature in this strange and beautiful universe is an infinitely valuable gift.

I think you are over-simplifying.

Yes, poor people often incur environmental risk by inhabiting undesirable urban land that's risky.

But it is also very common for the wealthy to intentionally take on flood/fire risk so they can be in the most-desirable areas with natural beauty. Many of the big fire hazards are in towns filled with ski resorts, vacation homes, wealthy retirees with ranches. Many of the big flood hazards are wealthy people attempting to live too close to the ocean, or too close to a river, than is safe.

You had me there for a few seconds but your alternate-universe view of California water policy is kinda hard to swallow.

I think you're basically describing the idea of having pure computations on pure data objects as much as possible? In which case, I believe that's fairly idiomatic in functional languages.
