I don't think we should dismantle them. I agree with others in this thread that not offering an option is exclusion. Because excluding people from important things like banking or housing leads to a worse society. And because people have excluded [group] before in an attempt to limit the reasonable risk of doing business in society. Laws are required to prevent that kinda behavior.
Not sure how you arrived at 60% - aren't federal capital gains topped off at 20%, and this bill only 7% for gains over $250,000?

Even if it is 60%, I think that's reasonable. In your case, why is the employee selling all of their stock in one year? If they sell over multiple years, they could get gains of up to $250,000 without paying any state tax, which is plenty.

I'd also be in favor of a state income tax, since the sales tax regime in Washington is very regressive.
"If you take away the ability of companies to negotiate reasonable deals with their venders, they'll just buy them out and vertically integrate."

Why was that argument irrelevant in the past when the 'right to repair' was was accepted as completely normal† and manufacturers actually encourage it? (See my point to that effect above.)

† That is, to the extent that back then no one would have understood what the phrase meant. Had you mentioned it, it would have been considered either an oxymoron or a non sequitur and you would have received a blank and perplexing stare.
Where does this crazy idea come from that you have to glue shut a device to make it waterproof? A rubber gasket and a few screws work just as well without compromising repairability. Wristwatches have been constructed like this for centuries, while being a lot smaller and lighter than any smartphone. Maybe it would slightly increase the BOM and assembly cost, but considering that it fits in the budget of a 30€ Casio, probably not by much. I guess the real problem is that manufacturers really don't want you to repair your phones and customer's don't care enough for it to make a difference in the market.
Sheet of plywood last year = $8, this year = $54.
I don't know what the risk calculus is for these home developers, but I do know that in particular areas of the US, you just straight up cannot afford a home anymore on median income (or even the top 20%ers looking for fair pricing!).

I anticipate that mortgages will continue to push past 30 years into a strange 45-year+ territory, and we'll begin to see Japan-like multi-generational mortgages. Actually, in reality this is already happening, because people buying homes past the age of 37 (think retirement at 67, but these people are still working and trying to figure out estate handling late in the game) are passing on their mortgage to their children. I am personally seeing this with my friends. No headroom for paid off inheritances!

Alternatively, if the federal government does not prevent it from happening, residential REITs will buy them all up and force people to rent.
> Lumber tariffs had prices already rising a year ago, but then when the pandemic hit, production shut down. The expectation was that housing demand would dry up for a long time. But instead, after a brief pause, it came roaring back.

How can this be the case when lumber prices are surging in Canada as well? You'd expect that if the price was in response to tariffs then the origin country would be flooded with supply?
Even if it does go there, any money that previously went there will go somewhere else. So its the "somewhere else" that benefits.
I think the wear could be from people using the same keys very heavily (e.g. WASD) and those failing. I've had failures on both mech (a WASD mx-clear, 7 yrs old) and membrane (ms natural, 1 yr old) keyboards. That's about it. Build quality for the rest of the keyboard is a factor, however.

I eventually threw out my oldest mechanical (1997) because I didn't want to deal with a ps2 adapter anymore. Mecha are a higher price tier, and it's easier to get higher quality. Newer keyboards (2009 onwards) that I still own hold up pretty well.

My Kinesis is distinctly less fatiguing. That's because I don't bottom out the keys when typing. The key activates early and the keyboard beeps. I stop at the beep and it's really more comfortable. My hands can feel a significant difference after a day off typing.

If you're placing your wrist down when typing, it's better to place it higher up. And when rising your hand from idle to typing height, it's less fatiguing to raise it less. A better starting position will likely improve your final typing position.
Depends on how much money you need.

I only did big projects (>4 months).

This way I only needed 2 a year.

I searched online and send like 10 applications a month. Which isn't that much.

But since I only needed two companies to agree every year, the odds were in my favour.
> I'm torn on this. Of course I prefer to pay once for software but that's not really realistic in today's world where iOS (or Android) development is rarely "Write once, post online, walk away". It's an ongoing process and there aren't very many apps out there that are "done" (even the big players).

Why is that? The user interface hasn't significantly changed since the iPhone was launched. Why do apps need to be rewritten so many times?

Why should users pay once for software and then... need to pay for the same software again in 2 years even though there's really nothing that has improved?

Pay for a text editor? Why the hell wasn't a text editor well written on the first iPhone?

It's more like the 7000 highest filers in any given year. The richest people may not be realizing capital gains. It's likely to affect people who happen to be selling their businesses that year, probably the only year they would ever fall into that group. It makes creating such a business and selling it while living in the state less attractive. Have to move to Texas before you sell?
Uber driver here.

> You're not setting your own rates. You can't choose which rides you take. You can't follow your own rules.

As of a few years ago you can choose which rides you take without penalty. This is effectively how you negotiate rates as well. Only drive during busy times and accept high rate rides.

> Remember when Uber was giving back to back rides to drivers that had Lyft driver app installed so they couldn't effectively drive for both? That doesn't sound like freelance work to me.

The back-to-back ride thing has nothing to do with having the Lyft app installed or not. It's a great feature that allows you to have your next ride lined up while on the current ride. It dramatically increases profit and efficiency (which also means less dead-miles -> less gas wasted -> less emissions). You can decline these "back-to-back" rides just like any other ride request.

> Much of the pay structure is based on hitting a certain number of rides per week. So to get "decent" pay rate you need to work a certain number of hours.

If you drive when it's busy the incentives don't matter. My take home-profit (even after depreciation of vehicle) is $15-30/hr for about 20 hours per week.

> Sometimes the company even owns your car and leases it to you contingent on doing a certain number of rides.

I don't know any Uber drivers in my city who lease their cars from Uber. Never heard of this happening.

> And you have no input on which rides you get once you go online.
You get all the ride requests near you. You can decline at will with no penalty.
How useful would Porter be for teams that have little to no Kubernetes experience?
"Where do you think Anderson was during that hearing? Probably knocking back his third mai tai, on an island so exclusive that neither you nor I have ever heard of it" i'm not sure this is 100% right. Maybe Tom was having huge FOMO pains not being "in the game". It reminds me of the song "Watching the Wheels":

People say I'm crazy

Doing what I'm doing

Well, they give me all kinds of warnings

To save me from ruin

When I say that I'm okay, well they look at me kinda strange

"Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"

Maybe Tom still wanted to play the game and watching the wheels was boring?
That is possible without landlords. Gov't provided housing, for instance.
As long as people are still unemployed there should be no reason for the US with its sovereign currency to struggle stimulating the economy.

Even if you guys would overshoot full employment your current president doesn't seem too frightened by the idea of taxing coins out of existence again.
> Right, but at that minimum wage job you're not going to blow that $60k on a Tesla. You're not even going to blow $10 to go look at a Tesla. You're going to blow $2k on a root canal because your food is crap and your medical coverage is worse.

Way to miss the point. Whether the item is a tesla or a can of beans is irrelevant. The point is that if previously you couldn't afford X, after getting a new job you could afford X, then you can't say that X is a cost/expense of getting the job.
Let's be clear though, if your stock grows as little as that such that after paying capital gains on profits and adding inflation into the equation would leave you on the negative or even, then it's a pretty bad performing stock.
They are getting rich because of their exposure to the financial markets and because tech is currently an industry that lots of capital is flowing into. It has less to do with what consumers are willing to spend money on than it does on that.

If it were just about what people want to spend money on then people in agriculture would be getting rich too.

Daniel [1], one of the authors here. Feel free to ask also technical questions, I'll try my best to answer them.

Safer? I could cause a safety issue attempting my own car or bicycle repairs and both of those things are much more repairable than a modern smartphone.

You know what's bad for human "safety"? Gratuitously burning through resources and causing pollution by making phones out of all sorts of rare materials and hucking them out.
This was written with physics in mind, but i think it's general enough:

A layperson can get themselves to the level of a college student who has taken intro courses with the right textbook + online resources if they are passionate. Wikipedia is actually quite good for looking up technical concepts. You must work example problems. Having intuitive understanding of key concepts in the field, and having practice applying them quantitatively to simple problems is necessary for further progress.

Once you are at that stage, the loop will involve reading materials where you understand maybe 70-90% of what is going on, and looking up new concepts as you go. Wikipedia and textbooks will still serve you well as you reach intermediate/advanced undergrad level. Focus on forming connections between things you have studied using the key concepts in the discipline. You must still do lots of targeted example problems.

The next stage involves narrowing the scope. There is no way to be on all the bleeding edges at once. Sign up for a membership in a relevant professional organization (ACM, APS, and so on) which will usually get you some kind of nice periodical delivered to you monthly with well-written articles especially for people practicing that highlight new developments (for physics check out physics today, for example). These articles will be highly accurate and communicative yet still written for a non-specialized audience. They will be a goldmine of inspiration for what to dive further into, and will teach you alot in an efficient manner.

Now you are near the bleeding edge. You may need access to proper library resources with the necessary journal/database subscriptions depending on your field (i.e. Chemistry). For physics the arXiv is great but isn't everything, especially for older stuff. Follow up on journal article references. If you are feeling swamped, look for a "review article" which is basically designed to help people in your situation get up to speed on a topic. The introductory sections of PhD theses can also be broad yet digestible, and they are often freely available online. Wikipedia will either have nothing, or will have highly technical entries possibly written by the same authors as the papers.

You will start to recognize authors as you read more on a certain topic. You will start to notice people's students/collaborators moving elsewhere and starting their own related research as you look through the timeline. At this point you might have specific questions for these people, so you might email them or even attend/stream a conference where they are presenting.
Ah yes the luxurious trappings of... a slightly-above-middle-class family?
Asking the manufacturers to not pull dirty tricks with the bootloader (AKA Tivoization) does not sound to me like asking much of them and could cut quite a bit of ewaste as old devices are reused with new software.

Of course many would try to block that as it cuts into their planned obsolescence roadmaps...

Another happy LG OLED and Shield owner here! I use the Shield when playing more difficult-to-play media from Plex (stuff like high-bitrate HDR content with lossless audio), and the built-in apps on the TV the rest of the time. Heck, even Apple TV is available as an app on the LG.

Unless you are forced to cash out, you can also liquidate ~250k of stock per year (or if options are available you can hedge your exposure and again extend the cash-out period over multiple years to spread out the tax impact)

This is one where composition really does shine. A colored point is a point and a color. Make it so that it is explicit, and the code is much easier to reason about. Two colored points only equal if both components equal. And you have obvious ways of comparing the points and the colors.

I'd be curious to hear about your experience and anyone else's using similar products — rustam@cloudflare if you want to chat. We're building out intrusion detection functionality and want to make sure we have more pros and fewer cons than the competition :)
Yeah they have to prove the amount of money they think they lost, which is subject to expert argument and some legal constraints. They can ask for whatever, but in theory they only get what they can prove.
I had the same initial reaction about misquoting. However, Apple also uses dialog boxes that use the word "malware", specifically: "macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware." See screenshots at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491
That seems to work if you put the entire Python stdlib under Frameworks but not if it's somewhere else.

I do the `find` thing because I pre-sign my libraries when I build them to save a bit of time during app build.

Marginally profitable mills shut down/go bankrupt when tariffs are introduced, and unlike AWS instances cannot be spun up on demand.
Yeah, that's what I did. Found an unofficial repair and replaced the battery for less that $100. Anyway, I don't think it should be so hard to replace a battery. And I still remember times when I was able to replace battery manually at home.
So.. TSMC can't post job postings in Mainland China but what's to stop engineers from being hired to SMIC?
>"it would encourage broader investment rather than hoarding"

why do you think a tax on investing would encourage investment? It would encourage not selling your investments, or investing in investments which don't produce capital gains, which tends to look like hoarding.
I think a lot of people are missing the important development here. This is not about having a monopoly in phones, or in the music industry. This is about a monopoly within the market Apple has created.

That industry can also use some "right to repair". I can't type www.peugeot.fr and find schematics, propriety diagnostic codes and repair instructions.

Would you mind sharing what's the company/project? It seems very interesting.
Yeah that's fair, WASM I/O is basically "opt in", where as the I/O on an normal OS is basically "opt out" (with something like seccomp, or not at all). WASM does follow the principle of least privilege better.
I did this. I started in QA with very little experience. I had some linux experience from personal projects I'd worked on and 3 months of a pretty mediocre python developer bootcamp. The company I started at mostly hired less experienced people and had them work QA for a year to get them integrated. It worked really well. You were on an integrated team with QA/Dev/Ops and as QA you sat with other team members and did manual testing while you figured it out. They had a great mentorship program and were serious about training and promoting from within.
what about how amazing it is to click a button and something shows up tomorrow or same day? That's _amazing_. Jeff did something we all love. We vote for it with our dollars. Not saying we don't have HUGE problems with being in balance with this planet as humans, we do. But letting people like Jeff solve them and get rewarded is how to fix them. Vs trying to cap Jeff and say X amount of money is too much.
What's even crazier is that the builders are identifying that even with the increased price for lumber, demand is still there—people are willing to eat the cost. I don't imagine builders will be decreasing their prices after there being plenty of lumber supply.
Love these two quotes by Hokusai (source: http://hokusai.us.com/quotes_en ):

“From the age of six I had a mania for drawing the shapes of things. When I was fifty I had published a universe of designs. But all I have done before the age of seventy is not worth bothering with. At seventy-five I'll have learned something of the pattern of nature, of animals, of plants, of trees, birds, fish and insects. When I am eighty you will see real progress. At ninety I shall have cut my way deeply into the mystery of life itself. At one hundred, I shall be a marvellous artist. At 110, everything I create; a dot, a line, will jump to life as never before. To all of you who are going to live as long as I do, I promise to keep my word. I am writing this in my old age. I used to call myself Hokusai, but today I sign myself The Old Man Mad About Drawing."

"If heaven had granted me five more years, I could have become a real painter."
Wait until they find out how rich people in finance are getting. And, just like in tech, I don't mean the very tippy-top. I mean people who are barely above the equivalent of line workers, pulling in even more than their college roommates make in tech. But that's old news, and not NYT's sworn enemies, so I guess it's not as interesting to them.
Note however that payment processors are actually charging in proportion to their costs, because one of their major costs is fraud for which the cost (if it occurs) is proportional to the amount of the charge.

Depends on your state, but I guarantee the information is available to you. You can ask your state representative for more information if you're curious.

Here's the 2020 financial report for WA's lottery: https://walottery.com/About/assets/docs/20AnnualReport.pdf

But it really isn't limitless, is it? We can abstract it into a 'bit arrangement', but that arrangement didn't emerge from entropy independently - someone invested time, effort, and other scarce resources to arrange those bits in a valuable, non-random configuration.

The person copying clearly values that arrangement, or they wouldn't be copying it.
Agreed. There seem to be too many folks frantically "doing something" these days. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Oh, I know. Should it be taxed at the state level too?
