It shows how much our societal norms and laws were - and still are - completely unprepared for the implications of everyone being able to effortlessly copy and distribute images and video all over the world. We're still in a sort of local to national mindset, but international and virtual issues completely shortcut a lot of the foundations of that, and the people who get caught in that friction get hurt, sometimes very badly.

If someone wants to ruin your reputation and cause you immense grief, they can very easily do that, and there is basically nothing you can do once the material is out there, especially if it is pornographic in nature.

Privacy is a basic human right, and yet we are trampling all over it. I wish I knew what we as humanity could do about this, because shitty people aren't just magically going to stop existing, and the internet is an extremely powerful tool for abuse in their hands.

Facilitating abuse by sharing abuse materials should be subject to just as hard punishment as uploading them in the first place.
AI-First Strategy: Where to Start?
>What's with the fad where articles start by describing how a random person overpacked?

Fyi, it's not a fad. It's what's called a "human interest" angle and some publications (like this rrj.ca website of this thread) have that editorial allowance for personal storytelling. (I made a previous comment about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24270673)

More examples of that include "The New Yorker", "Harper's" and other literary style magazines.

The opposite examples of "just the facts" type of publishers would be "lwn.net" for Linux tech articles or The Economist magazine for business stories. You won't find articles beginning with personal things like, "When I was a little boy, my father took me to discover ice...blah blah blah...."

The problem is that HN is an aggregation site that gets the [human interest] articles when some readers don't want it and we have no convention for tagging them to avoid annoying that subset of the audience.
because the housing price bubble already hit hard Ireland in the recent past and it's gonna hit again soon if nothing changes.

low corporate taxes have made Ireland a tax heaven, with all the drawbacks you can imagine

Expensive housing, long commutes and stretched public services are making Ireland a less attractive place to live.

And it’s not just younger people who feel aggrieved. People on relatively good incomes, who might have traditionally bought into the status quo, are now priced out and are calling for more radical solutions.
I wonder what computer models they are using to reach 21%.
Without looking it up, can you name the other two people who won the Nobel with him? Were they lesser physicists than Feynman? If not, why so much focus on his life but not theirs?
Partially! People of that age group don't trade phone numbers anymore. Nor are email threads a thing. The only thing unseating FB right now is Discord.
Money is not taxed [1], transactions are taxed.

Right, but the good thing about those ideas being carried on by companies rather than governments is that you can always stop buying Google or Amazon products, and if they spend too much money chasing dead ends, a competitor can come along and outcompete them.

I agree that bias and corruption are general organizational ills. Since I assume fixing those innate human traits is not possible, the second best alternative is to encapuslate them at the smallest possible entity and let those entities fight each other.
Server-side rendering engine for Node.js: Pogon.html

https://github.com/GWBasic/pogon.html

About a year ago I decided to learn Node.js by writing a personal blog engine. I wanted a rich, template-based server-side rendering engine that would share things like headers and footers among different pages.

Mustache and Handlebars (templating systems for Javascript) are awesome, but they don't have the rich kind of HTML-aware templating that I was looking for.
You start negotiations with global unilateral tax regime, then invite others with multilateral agreements.
Great!

This is a necessary move for USA as it intends to raise tax rates to pay for the Big Spend,

but also

it's a long time coming to get the "global" community aligned on tackling multi-national corporations. Tax evasion and egregious avoidance has been too easy for multi-nationals for too long - and just a few simple measures between "western" countries will make a huge difference.

Add onto this a win for the Trade Unions in Amazon and we might see Picketty get proven wrong and G > R
Blackjack :D
Nearly every European country has yet to recover to pre-2000 crash market levels. Western Europe's economy has yet yo fully integrate with the 21st century.
He said intra-racial.
If only. Dirac and Wiener did not understand the significance of the action appearing where it did. Feynman gave it meaning. An analogy for what you are saying is that Einstein just rederived Lorentz’s equations. That’s one of the most interesting characteristics of physics, it’s not just math and computation, meaning is hugely significant.

I’d also say the path integral is not what he is most known for among practicing physicists, but that’s another story (I recommend “QED and the Men Who Made It: Dyson, Feynman, Schwinger, and Tomonaga@).
Yep. Without a contract stating otherwise,[a] the purchase of a company generally transfers all IP of said company to the purchaser. This is especially true in bankruptcy proceedings where a company only buys a bankrupt one for the IP (branding/logos, trade secrets, etc.).

[a] For example, an inventor could license their IP (the patent or whatever) to a company they create with a clause that the license can’t be sold (this has varying success from my understanding)
I don't see your point. Tobacco use is prehistoric, barely more recent than drawing.
If this happens, I wonder if she'll also take the credit for the price increases on all the goods and services subject corporations provide.

Corporations don't pay taxes. Their customers pay taxes. She knows that. So we can only assume this is an attempt to curb consumption.
> there's the really common trick of keepin profits on the books near zero for a corporation to avoid taxes altogether.

> The thing about this is that we ought to understand both PARC and its East Coast friend Bell Labs as in important respects outgrowth of the high marginal tax rates prevailing in postwar America. These were, lets recall, very high rates.

Not necessarily. The universe could be just one huge pure function.
Individual humans don’t employ large groups of people and don’t move forward the economy like a company does.

I don’t understand why we want to equate rules for companies to rules for individuals? People say “it’s not fair”?

Who’s going to employ people? The government can’t produce your salary, companies do that.

Btw, many countries should regulate companies more IMO, but that’s not to say companies shouldn’t be encouraged to grow and prosper.

Of course companies and individuals should have different rules and of course tax should be one of them. Help companies start and grow and salaries will be paid to people.
The entire concept of "double taxation" is BS. All money is taxed multiple times as it moves around.

If I get paid a wage, my employer pays payroll tax, then I pay income tax. Then when I buy something with it, I pay sales tax. Then the company I bought it from pays payroll tax on it when they pay it out to an employee, then the employee pays income tax on it. Then they pay sales tax when they buy something with it, and so on.
I think this is very weak on content:

"As if this wasn’t enough, his recommendation led to a staggering 1,100% rise in Signal’s stocks. Many more are following suit and giving their goodwill to Signal."

Signal isn't a publicly traded company, they have no stock. I would expect that the author would have figured out that the stock which went up after Elon's tweet wasn't the Signal Foundation, but an unrelated company.
Or war.
State just knows to increase taxes and do war. No, thanks.

Let people flourish in peace. We need liberty to grow as individuals. Otherwise, we're going to end up having only crony corporations and statism.
This strikes me as incredibly imperialistic. Why should the USA get to decide what the tax rate is for the rest of the world?
Thank you so much. Many of these cultures I know of only in passing, and you've connected many dots for me. For the rest, I'm off to Wikipedia.

Thank you!
Of course it will spread less. How much do you hear of Trump these days? How often does he tweet?

> What you need to do is find the people that are making and spreading child porn.

They're somewhere too corrupt to care.
This is the only way to stop tax evasion and a race to the bottom, with devastating consequences to people to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars lost per year.

The question is how to do this. The only way I see is unilateral action by the biggest markets: the EU and the US (plus Japan, Australia, NZ, Canada), to say "you cannot access our market if you stash your profits in a tax haven".
Valid point! Oddly enough, I'd rather read a bunch of comments _about_ the alleged article than actually _read the article_.

Perhaps if someone wrote a blog in nested-comment style I would read it.

Fun though experiment: could Harry Potter be rewritten in comment style?
I'd really rather my employer not stumble upon someone's revenge porn of me, and I'd like the ability to get that removed, yes.
If they're using their profits for purchases or hiring folks for new shows, the "tax" comes out of the sales tax and the income tax. I mean, this isn't as mustache twirling as people are making it out to be. The tax code is not that messed up. It has problems yes, but being pissed at a company that's reinvesting their income and not showing a profit is like complaining that the guy/gal that's been running for years won a race. It's not like the tax code is reserved only for a select few. It applies to all Americans. Play the game.
A lot of people did streaming on ShoutCast.
For the Objective-S site, http://objective.st, I obviously had to create something in Objective-S.

And because one of the goals of Objective-S is to blur the hard lines between Unix-style command-line programming, Smalltalk-like integrated development and macOS-like apps, I also wanted to to create something to blend these elements.

The site is served by an Objective-S program that hooks an Objective-C wrapper for libµhttpd up to a bunch of storage-combinators that define the web-site.

The Objective-S program is created in an interactive app called SiteBuilder, which includes Smalltalk-style browsers for the classes the define the program + the resources (some markdown + images). The app has an integrated live-preview that reloads interactively, as-you-type. That preview is served via a special URL handler that keeps everything within the app (no http). In addition it also serves the site on an HTTP port.

The code + resources for the site are stored together in a macOS bundle, so a directory wrapper with the files inside. In fact, this data format is a version of a generic "Smalltalk bundle" that is used by a bunch of different live-editing applications.

To deploy, the wrapper is rsync'ed over to a DO droplet (smallest instance they have) running Linux + GNUstep. This setup has held up to a HN hug-of-death without breaking a sweat, so it's reasonably light-weight and robust.

Other sites are maintained using the same SiteBuilder program, but first exported to a static site.
And where does that money go then, corporations are not taking holidays in Caribbean or buying million dollar condos. Who are you actually redistributing the wealth from.
This is a decent point in favor of generally decentralized government. More local decisions, fewer federal decisions.
The word "less" doesn't seem right in this context... Did they mean more?
> I suspect you’ll be downvoted, but I agree. People take the internet waaaaaaay too seriously now. Not downplaying their trauma. Crazy stuff happens online, but everyone’s attention span lasts for 30 seconds, so just move on, get some therapy, and try to ‘let it be’. I suspect stories like this will facilitate additional mass-censorship via complaints similar to “think of the children!!”, but framed towards adults who don’t understand how web archival works.

This will stop being a big deal as the boomers die out and GenX gets into a nursing home age. My wife is a millennial. She grew up with the internet and cameras -- the number of photos that would make Gen X ers blush that she has is insane and that's nothing compared to what an average gen Z has.
this is a battle to the bottom. Whats to stop India from offering 6.25% corporate tax rate, what will Ireland do next go to 3% tax rate to? only losers with this kind of thinking is the individuals that end up paying more taxes than the multinationals.
Indeed. To me, it's the age-old form vs function dichotomy. I have resigned myself long ago to the fact that most people choose form over function every time.

I found it's very liberating to consciously decide "this isn't intended for me" and focus my attention elsewhere. Still, it's very easy to lower my guard and fall into the mindless consumer trap again. But it's an indulgence, and I try to limit my intake.
A global minimum corporate tax rate would solve the problem of corporations moving assets and headquarters to jurisdictions with lower taxation.
Actually I don't like the authors long winded explanation. Uni swaps let one spend gas to leverage simple bets on correlation, that's why they are popular. Kelly tells us capital investment is driven by the information rate. This will drive ETH gas's price perpetually upwards, along with ETH. Uni swaps are just a market realization of this. As ETH capacity increases, they will be replaced by an even larger pool of information processing market makers. Making the information/capital relationship physical is the genius of ETH.
Yes, I know about USING, and you probably know about the one big issue it has; if you add a column name with the same name to some table included, then you get an error due to the ambiguity.

Example:

SELECT
language.name,
COUNT(*)
FROM rental
JOIN customer USING (customer_id)
JOIN address USING (address_id)
JOIN city USING (city_id)
JOIN country USING (country_id)
JOIN inventory USING (inventory_id)
JOIN film USING (film_id)
JOIN language USING (language_id)
WHERE country.country = 'Sweden'
GROUP BY language.name

Works fine, but if we do

ALTER TABLE rental ADD address_id integer;

Then we get

ERROR: common column name "address_id" appears more than once in left table

The foreign key based join approach doesn't suffer from this problem, since there which columns to join on is explicit and stable.
In your opening comment, you asked "Is that all that's worth discussing?"

The answer is no, but then again nobody claimed that it was. This was just the one article about the poverty line, so discussing something other than the poverty line is off-topic (which I called "illogical" from a debate perspective, in perhaps too formal of a tone, in hindsight)
You need to add "with the current technology" at the end, and the statement will be accurate.

You can't know what a research will bring, maybe it will be discovered that you can do all these tests through some proxy measurement etc. In biology they don't deal with "laws of nature" in the same sense with the physicist, therefore everything is engineering problem since you always have the option to go above or below the biological processes.

You can't transplant a heart until you find a way to do it, you can't change genes until you find a way to do it.

There's no natural law prohibiting measuring something something from the finger that can be measured from somewhere else, it simply cannot be done with the current methods due to some process going on in the human body. The task would be to find a way around the mechanism that is preventing you doing it.
Why don't we end all this corporate tax stupidity and remove the corporate income tax? It is a very inefficient and complicated tax to levy.

>Most economists concluded long ago that it is among the least efficient and least defensible taxes.

https://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/CorporateTaxation.html

We can't have nice things because too many people see economics as a moral issue and not a math problem.
Governments are not businesses and taxes are not prices.

Small businesses generally are taxed more harshly than large multi nationals.

Setting a global minimum is not going to necessarily restrict governments from offering lower rates to smaller businesses.

This discussion is more about avoiding inefficient market distortions.
> And, yes, that 3.5 mm jack is important

So, this is why we have things like the European Union. It's to prevent global hegemons from hegemonizing TOO much. Sanction one member, and the other members could retaliate en bloc. Therefore you can't afford to sanction any single member. This means everyone who deals with EU members is forced to play fair game (give or take a lot of give and take; this is politics, after all).

[Of course the other EU members aren't entirely pleased with Irish and Dutch corporate tax rates either, but that's a story for another thread]
He said intra, not inter. This is well known. People often prey on their own simply because of distance and familiarity, among other things.
It won't be cooperation. Either it will requiring buying off those countries or using coercion which could include anything from tariffs, fees, and penalties, or to even locking them out from access to global banking and assistance.

a global tax lets the countries with irresponsible spending to offload their costs to other countries. pure and simple. it will be packaged as something else entirely but it is no different that what happens internally in many countries between different levels of governments (states,cities, territories,etc)

If that pattern is required for proper unit-testing, I don't want to do 'proper' unit testing.

You can write code where your dependencies are injected and can be swapped out for testing without buying into a framework that makes it that difficult to reason about what code is actually being run and in what order.
The exception is if the products are directly & trivially comparable, such that it takes anyone all of two seconds to identify the amazing product.
Everyone here seems really in favor of this move. To me it sounds incredibly imperialistic. Why does the USA get to bully the rest of the world into their tax rates?

We clearly have a problem with multinationals leaving the country and not paying taxes. There are plenty of ways to solve that domestically without calling for some globalist tax regime.

What’s more likely: we end up with a more fair tax system, or a tax system written by the USA that looks like the USA?
This is a cool idea! I see a second life for my old phone.

Why not let people employ each other where they are instead of importing grandpa’s beliefs about how money is produced?

It’s the workers doing that produce the real value, not a rich person holding capital they’ll only spend on us if we capitulate.

Why do we need the age old tale of a shared ephemeral store like religion and fiat finance when we see those things become monopolized and gamed by the previous generation every time?

We need to believe one old person is literally worth 100x the average person?

Who does that benefit?
It is a demonstration of how well advertising works since they (presumably) don't have much knowledge about mobile devices or branding. Calling everything an iPhone is the telling part. If branding wasn't a thing, they would simply call it a phone.
Or even further, why is people so obsessed about what Elon Musk thinks in the first place? Ok, he likes memes, rockets, Signal and Dogecoin. Let him, not sure why people are even listening to him outside of his domains anyways. People are taking a tweet like "Use Signal" to mean "reportedly quite upset at Whatsapp’s new terms of services and privacy policies and had called all his followers to switch to Signal" which are two vastly different sentiments, but somehow people are all eating this up...
If you have a company, you can do this as well. This isn't unique to big corporations. This is why I went from sole proprietor -> llc -> s-corp. It took one successful year for me to figure this out. If you don't want to spend your income on taxes then reinvest into your business or donate to charities.
Start with multilateral agreements, then sanction small jurisdictions that don't comply (e.g. bring the EU, US, Japan, etc on board and negotiate conditions, then impose them on Cayman Islands or Panama).
Let me give you some perspective.

It might not be a status symbol in the US and Europe but in the rest of the world it definitely is. I’ve lived in the uk for a while and no one cared that was wearing an iPhone. But as soon as I moved back to my home country everyone thinks I’m rich. And they’re right to think this way as the price of iPhones in my country is completely absurd.

Everyone thinks an 800 pounds phone is expensive?

Imagine if you had to pay almost double of that. In a country that receives less than 200 hundred pounds of monthly minimum wage.

I would never buy an iPhone while living here. It makes no sense unless you really want it as a status symbol.

It may be important to tease out the mobile operators and VPS providers like AWS/Azure/GCP first. They have skewed the numbers a bit. Almost all VPS providers and cell providers are IPv6 now. Residential is hit-or-miss. Maybe that will change as more people use Starlink and other newer tech.
