I’d argue they are not “vertically integrated”, since they’ve effectively killed their server offerings. I don’t know the specifics, but I bet they don’t sell anything like a bank-teller system either, the bread & butter of workstation sellers (Sun had some amazing stuff there).

It is funny this is from an Investment Strategy site where the strategies it is explaining are taking advantage of the system (how she/he manages the portfolio).

What a paradox is this capitalism, the system is supposedly trying to "help" people, but some people is trying to make money out of it while some others need it to be alive and nobody can live without the others. And loop.

Besides that as time goes by it seems more clear to me this is obviously non sustainable, although I might be wrong as I have been thinking this for years and keeps working :)
> It's hard to reply to these vague generalizations.

Then stop trying if you find it too hard to contribute a serious comment!

You're asking me what I'm alluding to and what I'm projecting and asking me to explain things I haven't said and other backwards and inside-out things, rather than responding to the actual arguments I'm making myself. Seems like you're bringing some kind of baggage to the discussion that I'm not party to.
Alright, then I take back what I said in my parent comment about how "we don't pay for a home address". I'll concede that we do pay for a home address.

However, that doesn't change the fact that the economic model has changed when it comes to email. We no longer pay with money, but we pay in other ways when we use Google. So it's actually worse than with mail, because there used to be a clear exchange of goods but it is now obfuscated. And thus, there is nothing mandating good service, which is why people can be randomly banned from using it.

>It is more efficient to let people keep money than it is to take it from them and give it back

Direct subsidies in the form of tax credit don't incur any costs of moving money because no money are moved, but functionally it is almost the same.
The enterprise plan is a very custom plan - if you only need access to one or two features and/or only have a few million requests a month, the price can be pretty cheap (much less than the 5k/mo price advertised on the CF dashboard), but if you want mission-critical features like bot management[0], access to China datacenters[1], etc. it definitely can get into the 6-figure range - and they do have over 550 customers paying 6 figures or more [2].

But just getting one to remove the cookie is probably not worth it since it will end up costing more than a business plan (200/mo) regardless.

There was one in a store we used to visit in the late ‘40s. It wasn’t a shoe store - more of a small department store.

I’d stand on the thing, stick the fronts of my shoes into the two holes, lean over and look through the viewport (which was rather like an old stereopticon), push the button and wiggle my green toes.

The clerks never bothered me. I think I knew enough to keep the time short. I don’t remember if it had a timeout - it probably did.

True, but that confirmed the test run in space, not the other way around. It may have be hard to know in advance if 348 failures on Earth is representative of space, especially because it wouldn’t just be that one system. It would have been lots of parts built in to system working together.
Whitefish is exactly the opposite of your concerns. It is very similar to the "Austin" of Montana.
A company doesn’t “keep” anything. It eventually uses all of its money to either pay dividends (or stock buybacks, their financial equivalent), salaries, business expenses.

We tax corporate profits, not income. That takes out of the dividend stream, so we tax capital gains (the tax the investors pay on dividends/stock appreciation) correspondingly lower.

You could in theory get rid of the corporate tax and just tax capital gains at the same rate as income. It would fix a lot of problems. But you would upset a lot of people who don’t understand finance and taxation, like the people seeing red in this thread, who have some moral gripe with these corporations (who are mostly just doing what the law incentivized them to).

It would have one small effect though. Since the US taxes the worldwide income of its citizens and permanent residents, it would probably overtax them, making them pay the higher capital gains rate for profits made in countries that do retain the corporate tax. The most obvious ways to fix that would just reintroduce the problem of sorting out where the profit was “made”, which is where we are now. Ideally, you’d get all of the western countries to sign up to end this stupid corporate tax at the same time. That’s difficult because a few important countries have used low corporate tax rates as a way to attract business that would otherwise have no reason to be there.
There isn't debate on what is money printing. If there is any money printing it is immediately can be discerned in high inflation. Which we don't have and therefore no money printing is occurring.

Flipside, bond rates serve 2 purposes. First, it's what the government borrows money at; the second is what everyone else borrows at. These are counter points, if the economy needs boosting you lower rates but at some point the giant pension funds stop buying. This almost always occurs right around where bonds real yields are negative or 0. That is to say the Inflation target of 2% is higher than the bond yields.

When those big funds stop buying, like they mostly have at the moment. The central bank is the last place for the government to fund itself. This is a strong sign the country has become bankrupt. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/central-bank-bala...

The US government is obviously bankrupt.

Inflation is a hidden tax on savings. The boomers did not save enough money, they wanted to retire based on debt given to later generations. Extreme inflation is coming and will be taxing their savings to pay off the debt.

One demographic this policy seems to unintentionally trample is international students. There’s a pretty well-trod path of F1 Visa -> OPT -> (OPT STEM Extension) -> H1B -> (green card, if you’re from the right country). It’s a tall order to expect that all new grads from this path will be able to command such high salaries, and there’s an existing set of international students who have planned their lives on being able to get the H1B before OPT runs out.

In my opinion, we should encourage immigration through our higher-education system (and we have been doing so for decades). I generally agree that the loopholes allowing for below-market H1B roles should be closed, but I think that students/recent graduates should be treated differently. There’s a big difference between sourcing lower-wage foreign workers who don’t already have roots in the USA, and paying entry-level salaries to recent graduates who’ve been living in the US for years already.

Of course, some may take issue with the premise here, and might say that the F1 shouldn’t be issued with intent to immigrate. But I think that’s terrible policy; nearly all of my (uniformly brilliant, top-shelf) friends who came here on F1 had horrendous, soul-crushing experiences with work authorization, even though they provide tremendous value to companies and the country by being here.

The proper shoe shouldn't reinforce bad running habits. If you got pushed that way by a one-on-one shoe fitting, you certainly did get "conned."

As someone who has had only one professional running shoe fitting in my life, I found it invaluable. They were able to immediately identify where my stride was going wrong. They advised me not just on the shoe, but on improving my gait. I bought one full-price shoe once, then was able to buy similar shoes on sale/clearance. Following the fitting (and guidance), I've not had the same knee pain since.

YMMV, but it's not all cons. It's a middle-ground between nothing and a full-fledged sports therapy.

Huh? No, the Heritage Foundation in 1989 proposed the individual mandate as an alternative to single-payer health care - explicitly as a way to avoid it not as a path toward it. That's why it's in there.

It's based on models by the Hudson Institute and the Heritage Foundation, free-market think tanks and is partially based on the Republican Massachusetts plan from 2006.

The inability of republicans to replace the plan over the past decade is because the plan as it stands was more or less the Free Market proposed alternative to a European style system by their leading advocacy groups circa 2009.

The Republicans are disowning the plan now because of optics. The Heritage foundation pulled their original document for instance, but you can find it in places like here https://www.scribd.com/doc/86911670/1989-Assuring-Affordable...

>> It would be foolish not to.

> Hard disagree. At typical self-employed scale, fiddling around with avoiding taxes is a waste of time (and money)

To the nearest percentage approximation, 100% of self-employed and small businesses do exactly this at a basic level, and it's low effort. There's an entire support industry to keep it simple.

Tax efficiency, which is the polite name for avoiding taxes, which is perfectly legal and encouraged, is literally taught as one of the first things in small business courses, somewhere after book-keeping and giving the books to your accountant.

It means you ask your accountant what expenses to write down, they tell you, then later they look at your books and say "did you know if you do these other little things like this, altogether you can save another thousand?" and you go, wow, I didn't think of those, I guess you are worth the fee after all.

Roughly 100% of self-employed and small businesses do this, in any place where it's common to use an accountant.
I think they have learned the lesson that GPU venders will never release their source code. Fuchsia seems to be designed precisely to accomodate that fact - drivers are well isolated and speak to the kernel through a well defined (and hopefully stable!) interface (I think this is FIDL).

> I am still confused as to why companies have to pay tax at all?

Because that's how we decided to build our societies. Money flows up very easily but doesn't flow down anywhere as fast, that's why we tax companies and people.

The sole purpose of a company is to make as much money as possible. Laws are there to make sure they do it safely (ie. don't send 12 years old kids to the mine, don't make employees work 7 days a week), make sure the system isn't abused (Amazon trucks use public infrastructures to deliver goods, why shouldn't they participate to the maintenance of said infrastructures ? &c.), and make sure the country benefits of having such companies operating within their borders.

Not sure about other countries but in France taxes are used to finance schools, universities, hospitals, justice courts, reduce the cost of doctor visits, train tickets, housing assistance, allowance for disabled people, active solidarity income, public education and a lot of other things.

I could find endless arguments to support why companies _should_ pay taxes but none to support the opposite, besides "I own a company and want to accumulate more money"

>I sincerely believe this is Rust's ballpark; hell they even started the project with that idea in mind.

The problem with custom stacks is you essentially need to have a custom runtime and it makes calling into C functions a lot more difficult (cgo isn’t a cakewalk)

This runs counter to Rust’s C++ inherited belief that you don’t pay for what you don’t use and would have have made Rust less feasible for all kinds of other projects.

async/await might not have the best developer ergonomics, but it does have the best implementation ergonomics from a language point of view
Ask HN: AWS Cron vs. Linux Cron When Dealing with DST?
I haven't been able to find a good answer for this. I know there are a lot of people on here much smarter than me. Hopefully someone here can educate or correct me.

My understanding about Linux cron and daylight savings changes, is that Linux will automatically adjust the runtime to account for the change in time between the UTC cron expression and the local timezone set in the OS.

It seems that AWS cron expressions do not make this compensation. I'm not sure why this is. Is this due to the AWS servers using UTC eventhough they are us-east, or that AWS has their own implementation that doesn't handle this?

I see that the standard approach is to create a Lambda that runs during the time change to modify the cron expressions. That just seems clunky to me, especially if Linux already does this adjustment automatically.

I must me missing something. Anyone care to share their thoughts?
