Double taxation is completely normal. You pay taxes on dividends, which have been taxed as company earnings already. In many places you pay a tax on real estate and other assets, which you of course bought with (presumably) already. Inheritance taxes are another example.
This is maybe not the ideal place for this, but has the analysis been done to confirm that EVs are going to be a net positive for the environment? I have a lot of concerns stemming from the mining needed to secure the materials to make all these batteries. And the entire transportation sector is only responsible for 28% of the greenhouse gas emissions in the US, according to the latest data I could find.

Would be happy to be have my concerns assuaged.

Food is a necessity, but red meat is just one way to meet that necessity. There's a number of natural and synthetic substitutes that can accomplish the same goals (calories, protein, etc)

Clothing is a necessity, but fur is just one way to meet that necessity. There's a number of natural and synthetic substitutes that can accomplish the same goals (avoiding nudity when it would be considered immoral, staying warm in cold climates, etc)

What's the difference? Is fur just worse because it serves as a status symbol in addition to the practical purposes?

Maybe not relevant for mink vs cow farming, but in some situations I think killing animals for their fur is morally and environmentally superior to raising and killing animals for their meat. Louisiana nutria bounty program is a net positive for the native ecology, which I don't think could be said for most meat products.
I'm surprised to hear xmpp on mobile works for people. I tried a few times with a friend. I'm on Android, she has an iPhone. And it always was too unreliable. The worst part is that half of the time messages are not delivered or very late. But there are also problems with attachments.

What countries do you know of that have China's educational levels, manufacturing capacity, natural resources and political stability that didn't make it into "developed status"?

I'm thinking about Italy: after WWII, the country was still mainly rural and much had to be rebuilt because of the war. And yet (with the help and blessing of the US, then much interested in keeping Italy on the side of the West) it experienced twenty years of rapid economic growth. It had a good education system, and it had manufacturing capacity (FIAT, Olivetti, Montedison, Ansaldo, Zanussi...) and especially, it had tens of millions who wanted to buy their first car, their first washing machine, their first tv, their first telephone, or wanted to rebuild their houses with modern techniques. It needed workers for the factories and sourced them from the poorest parts of the country, triggering an internal migration and further growth in the economic capitals of the country. China seems to have been in the same phase for the past 30 years, and it's so big it can keep up at the same pace for other 20 or 30.
At work I had to set up a server with django, postgres, SSL, rabbitmq, celery and a few other things. I did it in both ansible and docker-compose, the ansible version was 1500 lines and docker-compose version was 100 lines. A lot of the ansible stuff is dealing with users, groups, services, supervisord, virtualenvs and repositories - none of this is required in docker as containers restart themselves, users are already set up, you don't need virtualenv, and using containers avoids the need to use repositories to get specific software versions.
Also the docker-compose version was much faster to pick up changes, vs minutes for ansible.

I don't find docker that useful for developing on a day to dat basis however, it just gets in the way and generally you're not going to need a webserver, SSL, celery, rabbitmq in development anyway. It is useful to debug things locally though.

The other reason to use docker is state: while using ansible we got bitten by old dependencies hanging around because ansible doesn't exactly mirror your config, it can really only add stuff. Whereas docker actually wipes the slate clean every single deploy so your server is an exact mirror of your docker-compose file. This is really important.

A NoSQL Database with Much More Than Just an Index by Mor Hilai
If you are not buying from Amazon, then nothing on the entire page should imply that you are.

Why is this not obvious to us? It wasn't to me either. There has got to be some cognitive bias at play here to lead to our acceptance of inverted principles like this. The framing of the problem is completely inverted, yet we're pretty much okay with that.

If it's not clear what I'm talking about here's another example:

"Why do you need privacy if you have nothing to hide?"

This is also a reframing that presumes I do not have privacy and therefore bare the burden to prove I need it. People accept this frame and attempt to argue it directly all the time, when they should really just say "Why do you need to take it?" The burden of proof is on the taker.

Neither the buyer nor the seller should be so accepting of Amazon's attempt to obfuscate the actual parties involved in the sale. Amazon is just the payment processor and possibly providing storage and shipping services.

A real world analogy would be if every store that accepts VISA looked like a VISA store.
Western Europe perhaps - geologically stable, temperate climate - UK area is ~ same as NZ, France is far larger so France would be a solid choice.
Quite the opposite. Once you push the problem to the client a lot of them already know how to do it and by not doing two scaling steps you can make much better decisions. And you don't need coordinates as floating point at all. What you need to do is tell the app "you have a 150x150 window on which to display content at 1.33x scale, just give me back a buffer with those properties". Wayland can work at integer coordinates all the way. The app also draws at integer coordinates it just uses the scaling factor to know what to do. It can even just replicate the 2x and then scale down solution if it doesn't know how to do anything better but plenty of code does know how to do something better and much faster. Browsers, image viewers, 3D renderers, PDF viewers, are all natively able to scale arbitrarily and yet are forced by wayland to draw at 2x and be scaled down.

1) Are you suggesting that the USA Capital building should only be safe against armed assaults on special occasions when the speaker decides they should pay extra? And that if those extra fees are not paid, then any armed assaults are fair game, should be consequence free and really is the fault of the speaker?

2) This has been debunked time and time again. It was not Antifa assaulting the capital. It was Trump supporters. Stop trying to blame this on your enemy just because your attack failed.

3) Demonstrations are a integral part of a healthy democracy. An armed assault on the capital is not a demonstration. When Trump won, there were plenty of demonstrations against him, both in the US and across the world. That is perfectly fair. The opposition however did not assault the capital in an attempt to overthrow democracy. And the fact that mainstream republicans can’t tell the difference between those two is extremely scary.
this whole issue can be summed up with one word: hypocrisy.
> I guess I'm so far to the left that I have a hard time believing in "cancel culture" as anything meaningful

That's likely. Though i'm not sure that it really matters whether lefties recognize it or not, because the culture war won't be won by the side practicing logic and understanding.

Essentially anyone who has ever felt and inkling of skepticism at whatever progressive proposal is currently at the fore will know that cancel culture exists. It's very obvious at tech companies, where far left political slogans are carelessly bandied about, and mere hints of doubt or disagreement tend to cause drama. For example, I work somewhere than no longer allows you to program the words "blacklist" or "master," and the list of terms they have in the works is hilariously impressive.

It's hard to prove cancel culture exists unless you personally experience it. That said, I will attempt to do so with some prominent examples:

1. Barack Obama on the circular firing squad: https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/apr/06/barack-obama...

2. Noam Chomsky (among others) in the Harper's Letter: https://harpers.org/a-letter-on-justice-and-open-debate/

3. Philosophy professors on cancel culture: https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2019/07/22/philosophers...

4. Left wing twitch streamer loses partnership after Kenosha comments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny_(streamer)#:~:text=Thi...

5. Covington kid: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_2019_Lincoln_Memoria...

Some examples from the programming community and other places i found amusing:

1. Verified twitter response (from media and academics) to a Covid19 study: https://mobile.twitter.com/JAMA_current/status/1304102350857...

2. Richard Stallman cancelled: https://www.google.com/amp/s/arstechnica.com/tech-policy/201...

3. The infamous donglegate

4. Some professor fired for not giving students time off after george floyd: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxbusiness.com/money/ucla-...

I just wish things would get disgustingly progressive, fast, instead of teasing me into thinking the simple, hegemonic culture of the 90s is still a possibility.

By now probably most people are aware of these facts to some degree (not with exact numbers but an inkling). The problem is what to do with that information. So, a question to the rest of HN what are you doing to reduce wealth and income inequality?

Me? I'm voting for parties that want to tax the rich+wealthy (people and enterprises) for money coming in and out of the country (or the EU).

Further, I try my hardest not to buy from the biggest offenders nor to use their products: Apple, Google, Nestle, Facebook, Amazon, McDonalds, Samsung, LG, etc. I try to buy local products and order from local, national or intra-EU companies. Second-hand or refurbished too.

And of course consumption in general is low: goods, energy, water are restricted to the necessary. There aren't many things in my dwelling that I don't need or don't use.

It's not always possible, but an attempt is being made.

> I'd also like to point out that if you are rounding in your rendering anywhere, you are now likely either introducing blurriness again, or something is getting scaled incorrectly.

Some things will be blurry, but no worse than having the compositor do it. Other things will not be blurry, and that's a huge huge benefit.

> artifacts or error build-up

Integer multiples risk artifacts too, if the program is actually supposed to be rendering in high resolution. Error build-up I'm not sure should be a big worry when you can have 53 bits of precision for a window a couple thousand pixels across.

> As you describe, this is the "easily solved" way

I'm not sure you understood what I meant. I was saying that when possible the compositor should round the window to the nearest pixel, then have the client render at that resolution, so then the compositor would not do any scaling at all.

On each of those points there’s a very strong counter argument though- firstly there only needs to be enough charging stations, no one is buying a Ford because there are more Ford gas stations.

It’s yet to be proven Tesla’s sensor arrangement will ever achieve FSD and they don’t get data for sensors they haven’t added yet.

Finally, they probably have leadership in battery technology but that isn’t a network effect, there’s a limit to how much you get economies of scale in manufacturing.

The UK response has been mediocre rather than awful.

* PPE sourcing has been poor.

* Track and trace has been poor, and for the money they spent should have been far better.

* Lockdowns have been too leaky, and too late.

* But the vaccination research and rollout has been excellent.

The high UK death toll is only partly due to the above mediocrities, and mainly due to factors that cannot be pinned on the government:

* A very highly internationally mobile population that seeded infections everywhere in the country.

* A very highly internally mobile population that spread infections everywhere in the country.

* A very high density population

* Little experience of pandemic management and limited pre-existing testing capacity

* No culture of mask wearing

* A higher than average aged population

* A higher than average obese population

* Higher percentage of ethnic minority individuals who have been more susceptible to the disease, even after adjusting for health and income inequalities.

* More northerly climate with colder temperatures and higher rates of vitamin D deficiency

* Lower public tolerance for restrictions on movement

* Insufficient police numbers to enforce lockdown policies

No SINGLE cause from the lists above explain the UK's high death rate. It's a perfect storm of all of them.
Isn't this the message being spread by the hedgefund managers who shorted 139% of GME?

In my experience with Windows 10, it depends on the app. A lot of apps are blurry. Even some of the ones shipped with the OS, made by Microsoft, not to mention third-party apps. Linux with KDE works better than Windows here[1].

I've also read the opposite opinion about macOS - namely, that it's the platform that does it best. I've ordered my first Mac (mini). It's arriving in 2 weeks. Will see then.

Overall, poor HiDPI support on Windows is one of the main reasons why I decided that I don't want to switch to Windows as my main driver and instead try macOS.

[1]: GNOME on the other hand is terrible. It's possible to get i3 to work with HiDPI, but there's no end to the work you need to perform to do that.
> And although it is part of the standard, I’ve encountered players that don’t support it even though they are based on ffmpeg - probably because they do look for key frames to seek to or something.

I think that supports my point. It doesn't matter if the technique is explicitly listed in the codec or not. You need clients that will tolerate infinite P-frames, and they will work equally well whether you're using intra refresh techniques on h.264 or h.262

The dumbest possible renderer would have full support; it takes extra logic to get in the way and break it.
> you see a neutral platform for organising

I wouldn't be so confident it's a "neutral platform". The name Wobbly comes from the nickname for the Industrial Workers of The World, a far-left organization that, among other things, advocates against trade unions in favor of "One Big Union" and advocates for class war, revolution, and the end of capitalism.

Yeah sure but the way the Fed decided to economic stimulus is basically money straight into your stocks. You don't have to do any productive work to earn money. That's one of the defining features of deflation.
As a measure of lifestyle, to a degree. Although the anomalies are obvious: the upkeep costs of a lavishly appointed London mansion a multimillionaire owns are certainly lower than the rental on a much smaller flat (and probably a fair bit less than the property appreciates in value). And wealth is a source of power and claim on future spending. The average person spending $100k per annum does not have the capacity to decide nobody in his family need ever work again like Warren Buffett could, never mind his power to move markets.
