I thought this was about the humanitarian catastrophe, not about economy or jobs, so my take is that US migration policy is not humanitarian with Biden, was not humanitarian with Trump, Obama and previous administrations; claiming that there’s a concerted effort to hide this now… well might be true, but I think it can be better explained with just a general apathy, after all, people were dying during Trump era like they are now, and as mention, while I remember a certain anti Trump rethoric, I don’t remember anti Trump media specially fixated on the worse part.

Migration is a complicated business, and I definitely agree that uncontrolled migration can crash the economy. I don’t think conservative media cares about the border crisis more than just as a power grab.
This was well put, thank you.

There are a lot of posters making this general point in terms of common sense and evolutionary biology, but the post we're responding to is about statistics.

There is a statistical (and therefore actionable) way to weight the curves, in terms of likelihood of marriage between a man and a woman of a given age. Getting the relevant data might be difficult, but all marriages are recorded, and matching the names of the relevant parties to other records showing their age may at least be contemplated.

If anyone has a few months to pull this together I'm sure we'd all enjoy it!

> JavaScript is such a polarising topic and I wonder why.

If you ask me, the reasons are quite uncomfortable; and has parallels to how a lot of prejudice is seen in society when upward mobility happens. JS now encroaches server-side jobs, while earlier it was relegated to the browser. JS can do scripting. JS can now do native phone apps quite well. It can be used in desktop apps. It also pays well.
So he’s saying that the media is biased against Israel, and always shows the Palestinian side but never the Israeli side, when literally yesterday (I am aware the piece is seven years old) the building housing foreign media organisations in Palestine was destroyed by Israel?

I’d be curious as to what he’s saying now. Probably the same.

Edit: yup. Apparently the current conflict is being manufactured by the hard left to make likud look bad and to disrupt domestic Israeli politics. Give me a break.

Are you a baseball fan, out of curiosity?

MLB parks are all different dimensions and even shapes. Grounds crews maintain the local fields differently from each other, sometimes to the advantage of the home team. Colorado plays half their games at an altitude that meaningfully favors offense. Other teams play half their games in climates that meaningfully favor defense. Some teams go 20 days without a day off. Some divisions tend to be more competitive than others. There are injuries — sometimes many of them to one team.

To all those, add: some umpires make more mistakes than others, and some pitchers and catchers are better at adapting.

All of these things aren’t fair. That’s okay. That’s life, and that’s baseball.

Anyway, this isn’t really about overall fairness. Serious accusations of umpires favoring one team or another are very rare. It’s about whether to obsess about every single pitch being called by some mechanical (and so supposedly objective) standard. To me, that misses the whole point. You get 27 hitters per game (unless you win early) and play 162 games per year. If your success comes down to even a handful of bad calls, you were only going to win by chance anyway.
But if you're a high wage earner, those losses could have offset taxes at a 35% marginal rate, whereas you will pay a lower rate on long-term capital gains. It's not just delaying, it's lessening the marginal rate. As a young person fortunate enough to be highly paid, it seems like a total scam on poorer (non-wealthy) people.

Comparing Javascript to other dynamic languages its comparable and indeed has some nice features - e.g. self style prototypes. If you compare it to more type safe languages like Java, C, Swift, Kotlin etc then it has major flaws. The dynamic languages are great for making little scripts or small-medium size one man projects, they fall down when you need to build something larger with lots of people and lots of code. If you include the problems of javascript with running it into the limited environment of the browser then there is much room for complaint.

I think a lot of the arguments are due to the clash of these two opposing mindsets, people who start in javascript and build things in a browser think it's great, people who build enterprise applications with typed languages disagree, often strongly.

The reason against raising capital gains taxes is because the basis is not adjusted for inflation.

"If you bought an asset for $10,000 in 2000, for example, the BLS says you spent $15,700 in today's mini-dollars; if you sell it for $15,000 in 2021 you've actually suffered a loss, but will owe capital gains tax nonetheless" https://philip.greenspun.com/blog/2021/04/29/economic-wisdom...

Web is a large domain of knowledge. It isn't particularly hard in terms of math, algorithms or mysterious unknown proprietary APIs. But there is a lot to figure out. What parts are important, what parts can I skip.

If by basics you mean HTML, CSS and JS. Sure. Good start.
But you could also start with a framework and learn from the middle and out or the top down.

Not everything has to be learned bottom up.

Either way. It is not trivial.
Systems like HomeAssistant or Apple’s Home app seem to become much more usable when home devices are properly organized or automated—but doing so is extremely tedious or difficult. When long device lists are not organized by function or room, it is prohibitively difficult to explain how to use these systems to guests, or less technical users.

There’s a floor plan add-on[1] for HomeAssistant, but creating a floor plan or rendering for your home is a lot of work with difficult tools.

I’m excited about this project because it makes creating high-quality floor plans more trivial and closely linked to the device organization and setup phase.

One thing I hate about the modern web is pages that load with lots of missing content / empty components and then download and render that content afterward.

Is this a React thing?

Waiting for the extra request(s) adds lag time, makes back/forward navigation clunky, interrupts what I was doing if I already began interacting with the page (eg. infamous relayout / unwanted scroll) and sometimes breaks snapshotting tools like archive.is.

I don't mind pages with javascripted controls, but their initial content should be included in the payload with the initial page load. Don't the frameworks have tools to help you do that?

I’m not reading the article as a criticism of the work Signal has done, but their “lol u got pwned” way of announcing it — in particular, their coy threat about exploiting the vulnerability. Specifically:

- The threat is likelier to annoy judges than garner sympathy

- Following through on it is probably illegal

- Worse, following through could put their users in legal (and/or physical) jeopardy

- More generally, Signal should consult with lawyers before doing things like this

As a fellow African I struggle to answer the question!

(actually all of South America).

There isn't a common culture.

I'm also acutely aware that my definition is extremely unlikely to be shared in North Africa, Central Africa, even in another province of my own country).

All that said "being African" parses with a lot more emotional and ideological content than just geography.

There's a hint of pride at the grandeur and diversity of the landscape and peoples, a dollop of hope for a brighter future given our huge potential (despite our poverty we have so much more stuff than many other countries), there's a dash of injustice of colonial history and exploitation.

When I work with someone from Nigeria or Kenia or I interact with someone who is effectively a refugee from DRC or Zimbabwe - I can honestly say we seem to have something in common with our feeling about Africa.
>They make it through capital gains, which is taxed much less than wage tax.

Capital is taxed considerably more than you believe. If you own shares in a corporation, on every dollar of profit that corp pays 21% tax. The investor pays 23% on what's distributed. So on every dollar of profit, the government takes 39.2%

This is set to go to 28% and 40% respectively, for a combined tax rate of 56.8%.

Oh and I didn't mention state taxes. Tack another 8-10% on the corporate side and up to 13% on the income side. So if you had the misfortune of starting a successful business domiciled in California, on every dollar of profit:

Fed: 28 cents (corp tax)
State: 8 cents (corp tax)
Fed: 43 cents (Biden admin proposed top capital gains rate)
CA: 13 cents (Top CA income rate)
Shareholder: 8 cents

That's a 92% effective tax rate.

"For the super wealthy, the easiest way for them to protect their wealth is to raise taxes."

This is especially important for that tipping point of reaching financial independence in my opinion. Higher taxes will make it more difficult for people on the tipping point to leave their jobs and retire early (Canada puts emphasis on this: taxes on investments have a margin rate, I think in US the rate is fixed, in UK it's definitely fixed, but correct me if I'm wrong). So let's say you make it big on a new altcoin, you have to pay a ton of taxes and your win is greatly reduced. Meanwhile, for who already has a lot of capital, it isn't hard to skirt around taxes because it becomes economical to setup corporations and trusts or to have residence in a different country. I'm not sure I'm explaining myself very well, but basically "becoming rich" for people who could potentially be rich, is hard because the taxman, as much as I think it's fair to pay tax, is taxing the upper middle class the most.

"The usurpers are not yet rich. They are trying to get rich. If they do eventually make money, they get to keep whatever is left after they pay their federal, state, and local taxes."
My read was closer to what the article stated at the end -- the issue is that it is written for a tech geek audience when the real audience should have been judges and lawyers. So being vague and flippant was why they were foolish, not in saying something at all. And that they should probably not have implied that they were going to break the law, which also seems foolish.

Doesn't mean it isn't net positive, just means the details of how they did it were... maybe not the cleverest. But who knows, one person's opinion, etc.
It is not going to make that choice because it can't be ethically programmed to make choices. Otherwise, like I said, it will someday decide it's in a hard choice situation when there's no actual problem and randomly drive itself into a wall.
Why is there a difference between rolling backward and rolling forward?
I'd be interested in other takes on this article, I'm struggling to accept the arguments presented here.

> turning instead to software to handle functions that had historically been done in hardware

That generally means doing things less efficiently. Devices will get slower and battery lifetimes shorter.

> There’s room for new startups and new ways of doing things. More of the car’s features are accessed using a touchscreen as opposed to a knob or button, for example, which turns components that once were hardware into a software program.

This has got to be one of the worst times to do a hardware startup. Doing R&D at an established company is already painful, between skyrocketing costs and 6 month plus lead times on standard microcontrollers (not to mention more specialized ICs). If you're just starting out instead of "only" facing trouble keeping production going you're going have to hope that the chips you're prototyping with will be available when you go into production. If things keep going the way they have this year, that's a very risky bet no matter what components you select.

> And now, in light of the chip shortage, suppliers to the automotive industry are going to be looking for more ways to turn something that used to be an electronic part into software.

Not in the automotive field but from what I've heard it's the exact opposite issue, the [lack of] processors they'd like to use in those fancy touchscreen infotainment systems are a big part of their problem.

The central thesis is that the shortage will lead to innovation, but in my experience it has put a HUGE strain on everyone doing R&D. I suspect it'll instead lead to rising costs and stagnation as people wait for supplies. This is already basically what we have in the consumer hardware market, where last year's consoles still aren't consistently on store shelves.

Anecdotally, I've seen a lot more job postings for firmware engineers lately. I assume these are coming from companies that cannot source their preferred microcontrollers and need to port code to a new chip before inventory runs out. Hopefully this leads to some modernization of embedded software.

Yeah, I was saying you can use the same processes for mining trash dumps that you use for mining natural rock. Maybe there are more economically productive techniques specific to mining trash dumps (computer vision with conveyor belts, desoldering electronic components, deshredding correspondence to blackmail politicians with) but the usual rock-processing techniques form a minimal baseline. If you heat anything up enough it becomes rock again. (And gaseous oxides like those of carbon and sulfur.)
None of what you're saying exclusively affects capital gains earners. Higher corporate taxes also affect employee wages. The market does not accept a lower earnings per share report just because corporate taxes increased. Therefore, companies compensate by cutting costs, often by reducing raises, promotions, and/or benefits. Wage earners also pay state income taxes, which are often more than capital gains taxes.
Everything owned by unique_ptr is not realistic, some times you need shared state. Rust provides a safer alternative to references if you don't want to go all shared_ptr. Even Rc becomes better than shared_ptr due to single mutating owner limit, especially for multithreading. Even with clang-tidy turned to 11 there are still many other UB-landmines lurking not only related to memory ownership and you'd be fighting the compiler even more over contradicting requirements or opinions.

All the tooling you've just listed adds build complexity, on top of a build system that is already an abomination of makefiles, CMakeLists and lack of package manager. Let's not forget all the header files duplicating half of your implementation.

UBI funded with additional high-end tax progressivity avoids the pervese incentives with traditional means-tested welfare where benefits are cut rapidly with additional income (sometimes at a more than 1:1), disincentivizing outside income and tending to trap people in dependency. You can view it as equivalent to means tested welfare where the means test is shifted upward not to the survival level but to the level where the social utility of incentivizing additional income-seeking has gone negative.
Anybody who follows the industry knows semiconductors manufacturing is a boom and bust industry.

This video covers it quite well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7QkIECEkVc

Automakers cancelled their orders during the early days of COVID-19 and lost their place in the queue (and now are crying foul).

Also many companies have double-booked orders from multiple suppliers making the shortage look worse.

There's a huge amount of semiconductor capacity coming online in the next few years, much of will be barely profitable once this current shortage dissipates.

You can potentially arbitrage the tax rates, but you can only apply $3k a year of carried losses against income. I don’t think it’s as big as tax avoidance panacea as you’re making it out to be. Not to mention losses must be applied first to gains of the same type. Akso This “loophole” is used widely among middle and mildly upper class, not just rich.

For the real wealthy they have other games they can play, such as charitable organizations or “pledged asset loans” which they take out take tax free, and when they transfer the assets and “reset” the cost basis — they can sell the stock at zero profit and pay back the loan.
Bad for users because the only way to install these software now is to build from source. All of the removed formulae is open source software, and now these software have no place in Homebrew either as formulae or Casks.

Besides, the FUSE formulae would've been removed even if OSXFUSE / macFUSE were open source. The real reason these formulae were removed was because the Homebrew maintainers wanted to remove the ability for Homebrew formulae to depend on Casks. Since OSXFUSE / macFUSE can never be packaged as a Homebrew formula, the removal would've went through regardless.
