Not to disagree with what you said, but my point was that Netflix is not "creating a common European culture" it's simply broadcasting content, more than it was possible before, but it wasn't something unheard of in Europe and it doesn't really spread "culture" (us Italians are not like the characters of Gomorra and German policemen are not like Derrick, that's simply entertainment)

I think Schengen and herasmus program were much more important for the common European culture and to build a sense of belonging to a shared sovra national space where we are all Europeans.

Also most western Europe has been in close contact since the end of WW2, developing those relationships that led them to the first treaties in 1957 and us where we are today.

We don't need Netflix for that.

> However, I am paying literally 40% in taxes due to how it was paid out. As someone who desperately needs this money, it’s devastating. To hear that large corps can weasel their way out of paying is extremely infuriating.

You can weasel out of it as well. You need to exercise your options at least a year before acquisition. Often you can do this even if you haven't vested the options yet.
I think their main advantage is in lease enforcement. Big REITs spend way more on repairs and they charge more, simply because they can. A small landlord has no recourse and will get wiped out by damage and eviction costs. Bad tenants know this, and they know how to use fair housing law to get what they want. Owning rental property is a great way to spend your life on other people’s problems.
> In Germany this means that there are actually really good voice over artists that dub so well (sync with the actor's lips so well) you can barely tell the audio is not original.

I seriously doubt that. In France we also have dubs that are considered extremely good (Back to the Future is a big one), but you stil can easily tell it's not the original audio. And it absolutely loses a lot compared to the original. I wish I grew up with subtitles instead of dubs wherever possible.

Dubs only make sense for cartoons and animation (South Park and The Simpsons come to mind as having better dubs in French than in the original version).
Corporate taxes are such a waste of time. Corporations aren’t ever going to pay them so we just end up with all the downsides.

Missing out on local investments, IP offshoring, and the capital gains tax rates.

So what we have is a class of people paying significantly lower tax rates than they should be, corporations not paying anything at all, and investment money shifting out of the US.

But at least we can claim to have a progressive tax system, or whatever it is that idealists want to call it.
This appears to be an american centric view. In the rest of the world samsung is really far from the only big player. And i dont see the chinese flag ship sellers dropping at all either. Oppo is growing faster than an other phone company right now. Huawai is dominant for years now too.
If the U.S. wants to make itself uncompetitive with high corporate tax rates, that is America's problem.

"Ireland's headline 12.5% corporate tax rate — much lower than most industrialized nations — has been key to attracting many multinationals to the country."
that's not really the same thing. the football player didn't realize a loss in any of those years, at least not in the same way that a company can. they just made less money over time. the real difference here is there are no marginal brackets for taxes paid by a company.

it makes sense that companies are taxed differently than individuals. corporate revenues and assets ultimately end up in the pockets of real people, either as wages or capital gains.

that said, I do think you make a good point about income tax. it would be more fair if there were some smoothing over time. another example of someone who might get screwed is a contractor with highly variable income. if I make $75k every year, and you oscillate back and forth between $25k and $125k, you pay a lot more income tax for no real reason.

I am planning a small compute job tracking/notification service. Initially it will be for my own personal use, but may eventually be offered publicly.

I plan to write the server in Racket (likely leaning heavily on [0]) and have it interface with a sqlite database. Since the load will be quite low, I'll put it on a small VPS.

I've enjoyed using Racket for some small projects and am interested in scaling up my abilities to use it in a larger project. Based on my reading the first half of [0], it seems like something that's achievable give my other constraints (real job, etc.).

serious q: OnePlus looks *great* but I'm concerned about the Chinese government and the de facto cyberwar with the US.

How do you mitigate this concern? (serious replies only please)
Ultimately for spatial functions both PostGIS and Shapely/Geopandas are using GEOS as the base library, so neither are 'a lot faster' for analysis at a fundamental level. Lots of queries to a database brings some speed loss but this isn't necessary for the vast majority of use cases. OTOH PostGIS is in many cases much more finely tuned than shapely/geopandas for speed, scale and parallelisation (it is a much more highly maintained library) so can actually be faster.

Functionality is a different thing. PostGIS has a lot more baked in functionality than shapely. But shapely/geopandas exposes the depth of python and its libraries which allow much more extensive customisation of how to work with data.

Lots of tradeoffs and overlapping use cases - I just wanted to add some depth to this discussion.

You're running some very weird arguments here. Bringing costs down and volumes up are significant achievements in any industry.

Sure there were a few other electric cars out there before Tesla but nothing with 500km range that was compelling and affordable to the middle classes. There were other rockets too but SpaceX significantly reduced cost and launch frequency. Nobody had recovered an orbital rocket before SpaceX, let alone reusing it another 7 times.

Since we're trading Dyson anecdotes, here's a similarly awkward one, about how Dyson met Wolfgang Pauli for the first time [0]:

> I remember the very first time I met [Pauli] at a conference in Zurich. He was talking with a whole group of people about Julian Schwinger, who had just come to Switzerland. Schwinger was a brilliant young American who had done some very fine work. He was a rival of Feynman; they were the two geniuses then. Pauli was saying that Schwinger told us all this stuff that actually made sense, not like that nonsense Dyson has been writing. At that point I came walking up with a friend of mine, Markus Fierz, who was also a Swiss scientist. With a twinkle in his eye, Fierz came up to Pauli and said, “Please allow me to introduce you to my friend, Freeman Dyson.” Pauli said, “Oh that doesn’t matter. He doesn’t understand German.” Which of course I did. That was a good beginning and we were friends right from the very first day.

That doesn't look bad to me, though. Pretty much 90% of the code is just HTML, anyway, and I doubt it would be much shorter in jQuery.

If you allow me a few comments on the code:

> .then(res => { setYou(res[form.name1].planets) ; setOther(res[form.name2].planets) })

setYou, setOther will usually each trigger a re-rendering. It would be better to store them together if they're always changed together.

> .then(res => document.getElementById('results').style.visibility = 'visible')

You might want to look into `useRef()` here.

> <select {...register('region2')} onChange={ e => setRegion2(e.target.value) }>

This is what I meant in my earlier comment: Each change will now cause a re-rendering of the entire component. I think it would be better to split up the code here and move the <select> tags into a separate component with separate state. This component would then only tell your parent component about a state change once both region1 and zone1 have been set.

For me, the best way to read something is a media that is limited in the x direction but has no page limits and can go down as needed. Like most of the websites. Foldable sections, hyperlinks and floating TOCs, are a bonus too.

This is ideal for reading from a tablet or from a desktop and is somewhat printable too,

Unfortunately most tools for producing PDFs from HTMLs assume you want to divide them into pages, and there is no easily produceable "reading format" as widely adopted as PDF. Those page cuts are so annoying when you read from digital media.
Sorry to hear.

I remember when we went to my grandmas house, and the media was talking about a ‘major crisis’ in the White House, like they do every day.

Our seven-year-old suddenly got concerned and has to be calmed down, because she is so rarely exposed to American media.

I feel bad for this generation, and I’m not surprised that almost half of our senior high school girls (at least on one sports team) are on anti-anxiety medication.

Why wouldn't they use a solution like https://samy.pl/pwnat/ this is a long solved problem that doesn't require uPnP.
Eventual consistency, if I recall correctly, stands for “race conditions”. During the NoSQL craze I read one opinion piece on it that I thought was pretty well put together. It boiled down to this: eventual consistency data stores are easy to implement so lots of people create them. But they are not easy to use, just easy to get started on. They are fine until they aren’t and they are overused as a solution to anything distributed.

I personally much prefer to start with a system that has strong consistency guarantees and then relax those guarantees exactly where necessary. Trying to work it from the other end will show you exactly why data store developers often choose EC even if it’s not the best pattern.

What I've heard, the difference in quality is mostly one of budget.

In US series, they do much more takes from a scene, while in European (or Japanese) TV they don't have the budget to do so.

Cutting Edge Intel AI-Powered Backpack Could Replace Guide Dogs for Blind People
What's wrong with working around barriers? I find Tasker useful for fixing things I don't like about my phone that are otherwise beyond my ability to fix. For example...

1. By default my phone remembers the last media volume level used with headphones. This does make some sense, but it is easy to accidentally get maximum volume blasted in your ear. I use Tasker to automatically reset the volume to a safe level when I plug in my headphones.

2. I find that the automatic screen brightness on my phone doesn't work well at all. In a dark room, it would not set the brightness to its minimum level. It also would not turn the brightness to maximum even in direct, bright sunlight. I prefer to just set the brightness manually, and avoid the poor guesses of the automatic brightness algorithm (which is claimed to be "smart" and aware of my preferences). The only problem with manual brightness control is that it's common to end up in bright sunlight with a very dim screen. It is impossible to use the phone under such conditions. So, I used Tasker to add a gesture. If I shake my phone relatively hard, twice, in an up and down motion, it sets the screen to maximum brightness. I use this all the time.

Let me introduce you to the HELOC.

Wealthy people do not take out mortgages. They borrow cash against their existing wealth. They then buy things with that. Then pay back against the loan. Writing it off too (as per tax law). The 'rich' have sold everyone a bill of goods how they are redoing the tax system for 'the people'. When the reality is they are writing a bunch more exemptions for themselves.

You can do the same thing. Many people when they figure it out 'level up'.

Ask HN: What will be the future differentiator in electric vehicles?
If you buy a mobile phone today, the choice is between Android and iOS, or, more specifically, between Samsung and Android.

[LG's announcement to stop making smartphones is a testament to how the technology and (economy of scale) of Apple and Samsung have evolved to a duopoly of smartphone brands. For most consumers, two choices are enough. Quick: name the third in line: Coca Cola, Pepsi and ...? Or McDonald's, Burger King and ...?)

Will the same happen for electric cars? Ford is already building their EVs on a VW chassis.

For example: whether you buy an electric Kia or electric Porsche, what are the real engineering differences between the car, considering:

- the drivetrain is electric
- the center of gravity is lowered in almost all EVs because of the (current state of the art) of battery placement
- Many key (security) parts are bought OEM from the same suppliers, including tyres, audio systems and airbags.
- The manufacturer with the most driven miles will likely have the least amount of "bugs"

Will car brands go even more the way of fashion brands, where the difference between Porsche and Kia will be like the difference between Balenciaga and Nike: both are functional footwear, but I'd choose the Nikes and save the difference.

Will "internal luxury" and "prestige" take the overtone in marketing and branding for the next 20 years, as opposed to how "clean" a car is and the engineering of their engines? And, of this technology, how will supercar automakers adapt? E.g. why buy a Ferrari if the "soul" (engine) is replaced with an electric drivetrain that is likely less mature in engineering than what would be inside a Tesla S?
Even in Korea, everyone knows what the latest Samsung phones are, but few people keep track of LG's product cycle.

Here, LG is best known for household appliances and the Gram line of ultralight laptops. It's a running joke that even Samsung stores use LG air conditioners. Samsung appliances are for people who can't afford LG. When it comes to phones, though, it's the other way around just like in the rest of the world.

Covid Super Strains? There Are None, Says Virologist
Every company that leaves a business should be obliged by law to release detailed documentation, bootloader keys and dev kit/tools. There's no other way to guarantee that costumers can own the devices they paid for without this.
It's particularly absurd. I work on a product that has tens of millions of users built on Node with a team of
dozens of talented developers. The aforementioned library checks both the number version and the string version of a number, to indicate it's "even" or "odd". That Node.js makes it easy and cheap to package up small utility libraries like this is a feature, not a bug, and quite in line with Unix-philosophy. Very easy to troll through a list of millions of packages on a marketplace that's as big and broadly used as NPM, which covers not only backend dev, but also front-end dev since the front-end ecosystem is largely powered by NPM these days. So it's a particularly ignorant hot take.

There are two types of IT guys. Ones who care entirely too much about phones, and ones who care absolutely zero.
My blog/homepage is built using:

- Gatsby.js static site generator framework

- Posts written as md or mdx (markdown with jsx support)

- Github Actions to build the site

- Published to and served by Cloudflare workers

- Uses [sci](https://github.com/borkdude/sci) and ClojureScript to add a live Clojure REPL component that can be used in blog posts

- Tailwindcss is used for styling via emotion css-in-js and a tailwind plugin.

The setup mostly works ok, but as always with the JavaScript community the amount of breaking changes can be a bit taxing. Because Gatsby handles static site generation the blog works without JavaScript enabled for those that only want to access the static content.
It looks like what I was referring to is that they recently made the initial controller setup on the cloudkey require a cloud account [1], but you can migrate to local only after the initial setup.

>How in any way is this relevant?

It's not.

Furthermore, city boundaries are often gerrymandered to either turn their suburbs blue or be turned red by their suburbs so. Some cities absorb their suburbs, some don't. Then on top of that you've got moderate D's who can pass as an R if they shut their mouths on certain topics running on the R ticket because that's the only way to challenge the incumbent. So not only is the distinction needlessly divisive but it's such a high noise metric it's not useful for anything ever anyway.
