This is a case of economies of scale. A fairly wealthy person could save maybe $50,000 per year with the advice of the smartest tax lawyers and accountants in the world. But it would cost them $500,000 per year to pay for the structure to be created/updated.

When I worked as a tax lawyer, we created structures and defended cases that saved our clients hundreds of millions of dollars. At this scale, paying for our services was a no-brainer.

On top of that, big companies lobby lawmakers to make the tax system favorable to them. This makes sense for the same reason: paying a couple million dollars to create/maintain a provision that saves $100M/yr is a no-brainer.

I'm not saying any of this is right or good (and I am no longer a tax lawyer; I now build tools that help people with disabilities). I'm just saying this is why it makes sense that companies can walk a fine line on taxes, save tons of money, and you and I cannot.
"vim only provides basic text editing functionality by default"

It looks like someone has never read the vim manual.
Would you agree that a right to property would precede a right to interfere with another's property?

Would a right for the public to know the specific steps an entity uses to retain property go even further afield from the original premise?

Hopefully this clarifies my intent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_positive_rights#:....

Stacking new positive rights upon each other seems like an inferior solution as compared to the original, simple solution of respecting private property.

Where does the expansion of positive rights end?
So sending in logging trucks, tractor saws, and burning all that fossil fuel to "reduce atmospheric carbon" only to have weakling brush landscapes that easily burn is the solution?
That might just be the app, try -https://web.dara.network/ ?
Agreed. This should probably be under ShowHN. I was expecting to see an semi-finished product here. And even the first sentence of the "About The Project" section states:

> Ox is a text editor with IDE-like features.

And then we had the actual feature list, current version seems to be 0.2.5.

> Auto indentation (0.3.0)
> Auto brackets (0.3.1)
> Auto complete (0.3.2)

Which are quite essential for calling something "IDE like".

Other than that. It looks nice. I've seen people calling it an Nano replacement in the comments here, which seems to be missing the big point of nano - it's easily available in a lot of *nix systems by default.
Finally. So it's just about the USSR and its off-springs as I thought.

Deny? I'm not denying anything, I'm saying that you're projecting those things onto people with fundamentally different ideas, a.k.a democratic ideas, not totalitarian.
Which states are those?
Most would happily trade an editor that is 100x slower for gigabyte single-line text for one that is 10% faster on gigabyte multi line text.
Yeah, sorry about the performance. We kinda put that together as an impromptu web demo, like the old ubuntu tour. Flutter for the web is super sucky right now, and lacks a lot of things like accessibility and normal text interaction because it is backed by a canvas element. Ideally as Flutter matures we will be able to improve both the performance and accessibility aspect of it.
Without high price there would be no incentive for suppliers to rampa up supply, work over time and build new manufacturing capacity.
If you distribute a number that represents something you're not allowed to distribute, without announcing this connection, you're not really making that secret information available to anyone. There's no loophole there.

You need to somehow include information on how to use the number, which is arguably easier to pull off, but still doesn't make it legal, just harder to find out.

It is very realistic when I copy a json dump into an editor and then do a key stroke to format it.

My beloved vim doesn't fair so we'll. VScode does very well on this.
The problem is not the long form per se, but its misuse. Since usually journalists try to implant human interest stories etc where they don't fit.

Long form is good if you have something long to say. Trying to construct a story where there isn't one frustrates the reader.

In case of rewriting the codebase it actually makes sense. Your organisation already has a codebase and complementary org structure. Any microservices rewrite should be tailored to the existing boundaries of teams for maximum effectiveness.
Many countries do not tax their residents on a worldwide basis. So if a person from Country X earns money in Country Y, they are simply not taxed on it in Country X. They don't need to set up a complicated foreign corporate structure to avoid immediate taxation, as US residents do.

> [Vim] has a steep learning curve due to being a “modal” text editor, having special modes for editing text. Ox is easier to use than Vim because it doesn’t have modes where the keyboard is repurposed, however it takes the idea of being a keyboard-only editor

I, and I think most heavy vim users will agree, think that Vim's modal editing is one of it's great strengths. Sure, it has a steeper learning curve, but once you learn it, it is amazing.
I actually think both are wrong (Taleb little bit less so)

Because they are using empirical evidence (eg previous data) from 'experiments' that are effectively, unrelated to current situation.

In my personal view, of course,

Most previous elections in the last 30+ years, were between RINOs (Republican In Name Only) and Democrats.
Those are pretty much two fractions of the same bribe-taking, accountability-avoiding global Cartel.

This Election is between the representative of citizens of the Republic (Trump) and the Cartel's candidate.

This really did not happen from the time Bushes-then-Clintons took over both parties and turned them into co-existing fractions of one party.

- - -

Another analogy: we do not use same methods and design constraints when building anti-lock breaks control software, as we do when we build a daily revenue reporting system.

- - -

Frame of reference is different basically. And we do not know the tensor(s) that help us to move between the coordinate systems.

- - -

So we are not going to be able to use even 2016 polls (because then folks did not realize how Corrupt the RINOs+Dems are )

- - -

My prediction is that Trump wins, GOP takes House and retains Senate.

This will also be the largest percent wise vote for a GOP president, by Latino and African American voters.

Will check back in 9 days or so, to see if I was right !

Résumé/Email: https://julesbou.net/resume.pdf

Senior Frontend developer (Javascript & CSS).

I’m a senior frontend developer based in France with an affordable rate. On a short note about my work - I’m experienced on a great variety of frontend technologies - I've strong CSS & JS skills - I know what to do & understand priorities when working on a project - I’m proactive & productive.
I’m available to work full-time starting now, and I have some availability for a call in case you have an interest starting a conversation.
And does ox even have a plugin system? I don't see anything for that.
Not sure exactly what it has to do with gnome or dbus, the desktop is backed by X11 (Migration to Wayland is underway but it's a pain to work with), the Flutter embedder itself renders with GTK. The project was started as a Fuchsia fork, and we intend to continue working hard on getting that ready, but sadly a lack of access to compatible modern hardware forced our hand to temporarily switch over to Linux as the development platform, so our layers of project would not stagnate while we wait for more polishing on Google's end.
Indeed. However what is more telling is failing to set up git commit hooks (so one doesn’t need to remember running a formatter) and then randomly mashing the keyboard for the commit message.
That is an amazing product that will completely change the industry.
In general, folks with kids are very difficult to migrate. You need to consider whether your spouse's job is remote friendly, and as you mentioned, kids need to find new playmate / school. It's just exponentially harder to relocate than single folks.

I am under the impression that this escaping valley wave is mostly about single folks or young couples without kids.
now how i wish VS code is done in rust as well
Lots of companies operate across two or more time zones. Yes, it has problems, but as long as you group them together in no more than three groups it generally doesn't get too complicated, and even allows you to not have to have people on call at odd hours.
Our hacks are nothing compared to the hacks of these old school nasa programmers :)

The amazing thing (to me) is that they developed the Voyager spacecraft in an era when space flight wasn't hugely popular and the budgets at NASA were being cut regularly. NASA went from a peak of $6bn a year in the mid-sixties under Johnson to almost half that under Ford and Nixon. The engineers were well-respected and they clearly felt the work was important, but they weren't particularly well paid. They did this for the love and the science.
That seems such an obvious direction now the Mac mini has been pushed up market. A Mac Mini SE.

DMARC does a decent job of solving a few of those points. Alas, that only proves the point that another commenter made about server-to-server SMTP being a hack-job piled on top of another hack job.

The one thing DKIM is good at is for protecting the From-header and body from modification, allowing receiving servers to verify that the sender is genuine whenever they receive an incoming message (when combined with DMARC that is). For anything else, use PGP, S/MIME, or something else that actually does end-to-end encryption/signing.
Can you give an example of a flutter app people use by choice outside of android? I think my google wifi app uses it and that's about it, and the google wifi app is not exactly the picture of quality software.

The framework seems designed to hold the hand of android developers, not to provide a decent experience to the end user. I have no clue why people keep referencing it as some kind of working cross-platform solution when it clearly caters exclusively to android.
Hi,some minor corrections.

ReScript is more correct than scala, ReScript's type system(essentially borrowed from OCaml) is sound while scala is unsound.

> Using `undefined` to represent `None` means that you cannot tell the difference between `None` and `Some(None)`

I don't know where you get the impression, of course they are different in ReScript.

One thing missed is that ReScript compiler may be 10-100 times faster than Scala.js (I am not kidding)

Well the older models did, yes. I don't believe the Raspberry Pi 4 has one anymore. (And the CPU can probably handle it just fine as well)

This is wishful thinking. Staying for years around an area that gets "only a month" of excessive PM2.5 particles and smoke is unwise and you will soon become someone with an existing respiratory condition.

I'm leaving the Bay because I value my health way more than the "lifestyle" offered by living in the Bay. There are many other places in the US (And ESPECIALLY outside the US) that offer a fantastic quality of life.

Proprietary bootloader technology that Broadcom maintains is secret stopped the community hacking together USB boot, keeping us tied to bloody MicroSD cards and all the palava which is adherent to that.

Everybody should buy one or more, but Broadcom do have control over their chips to a greater degree than I'm personally happy with.

>How high of a COP would it take to make a heat pump a feasible way to make lower temperature waste heat a source? Or is this where the thermodynamics breaks down?

Yeah, there's no free lunch. You could use the low-temperature waste heat to pre-heat the working fluid for a combustion-based system, but using a heat pump to increase the temperature will cancel out the efficiency gain from having a higher temperature for the heat engine.
yes. the idea of MAT is like you can claim all the "expenses" and the result would be a loss but when MAT is taken up, you get only "certain" expenses meaning you cant just pull expenses out of thin air. you have to prepare an altogether different p&L with only specified expenses and that always results in a profit and you pay taxes on that figure.

its like saying to a kid who doesnt want to go to school because his knee is bruised. cry all you want, you will go to school.
That would be microservices. Like you said there’s rarely a need to break apart services beyond that, and that’s fine.

Usually hn is very positive towards young folks doing stuff, and doesn't measure it by the bar that older people get measured by. Why is this different this time?

Also even then, you'll probably find people doing mistakes, committing hacks, etc all the time. It's like complaining that the initial Linux release doesn't support x86... Linus didn't write it for x86 originally.
Yeah, it wouldn't be enough to make such a huge difference. Nor would it explain the different RPM. Just wanted to note it for the sake of completeness.
US citizens are taxed on global income regardless of whether they live in the US, or whether any of their money will ever enter the US.

It's only right for US corporations to be taxed the same way. Most of these insane financial contortions are done because they aren't taxed on foreign, non-repatriated earnings - creating an incentive to convert domestic earnings into 'foreign' ones, that get repatriated the next time there's a tax holiday.

I personally would love to earmark my personal income as foreign-sourced, and to not pay any taxes on it until I get a tax discount... But if I were to do that, I would go to jail for tax evasion.
Lump of labor fallacy is at least 100 years old and yet Americans and administration quotes it as if it is a gospel. Americans have a full right to control their borders but citing "wage depression" is pure nonsense. There is no such evidence. ZILCH.
I don't think so. As stupid as it sounds, this is something I learned playing WoW many years ago with the expansion that added glyphs. Everyone _needed_ glyphs in the sense that your character wasn't hitting it's full potential and you'd get mocked if you didn't have them.

Back then I wrote my own auction house addon that would scan for glyphs below a certain price threshold, buy them, and re-list them in bulk for higher prices. It also scanned for raw materials and bought them too to help strangle the supply as much as possible. It was so easy that hitting the technical gold limit (something just over 200k IIRC) was a realistic problem to deal with.

The supply was limited enough that 2-3 people could monopolize an entire server. I recognized the other 1 or 2 people doing it on my server and it's something I would describe as tacit collusion. We never talked to each other, but we didn't compete with each other either.

The whole time _everyone_ complained about the price of glyphs, but there wasn't much they could do about it. If someone came in and tried to compete by undercutting you, you'd just buy out their supply and re-list it at your inflated prices.

It wasn't complex. You just needed to be willing to be a bit of a scumbag. The only thing that was moderately difficult was getting enough gold to start monopolizing that part of the market. IIRC it costed 5k gold to get a flying mount and most players had to save up for that, so being able to drop 5k at the auction house gave a lot of buying power.

Having a limited supply product that people _need_ means your profits are only limited by your ethics. Capitalism works really well for luxury products IMO, but less so for necessities.

I suppose I'm destined to wander around my small(er than most other places in the world) Japanese flat, with fittings made for someone much shorter than I am even though I'm average height in my own country, and ponder on the existence of downvotes for a fairly innocuous musing.

Perhaps I should leave comments like "Japanese people just like things smaller because when I was there everything was so small" and not notice that they have a lack of space and are on average, smaller, hence the need for space saving measures and smaller fittings, or is that just one more, in my opinion, fairly innocuous musing that must not be stated… maybe it's just me? Maybe.[1][2]

I made a decision 20 years ago to avoid auto complete and other "in programming flow breakers". Instead, I have multiple phases, writing, linting and such.

I am sure that it made me a better programmer as I know a lot of stuff by heart, where a lot of "auto" programmers are merely constantly picking of a list, which I think breaks their thinking flow...

Which is basically the same as not using the vim muscle memory for me..

> There were models like that, they didn’t bring them back this year.

They weren't the headline forecast, but, yes, the NowCast existed (and still does, in fact, though it's not visible, just like the polls-only forecast model isn't visible any more; Silver references them periodically.)

But it's inaccurate to criticize the headline forecast based on the idea that it is trying to do what the NowCast does, and it is dishonest to criticize something other than the main forecast and say it is a criticism of the forecast, but not specify the alternative forecast you are actually criticizing.
That still doesn't encourage supply to increase much. I would advocate for both. Let prices rise, and ration items
