Ya, acknowledging the role of compromised encryption feels like burning their source.

Speculation: Churchhill chose to let Coventry get bombed rather than disclose that German encryption had been cracked.

Wouldn't the long game be to allow criminals to believe their communications remain secure, for law enforcement to do parallel construction for their cases?

I can't imagine the calculus that goes into these decisions.

> Forcing people to mark-to-market?

For liquid investments that have a well-agreed-upon market value, that wouldn't be a problem above a moderate wealth threshold. In particular, it should be easy to obtain credit against these securities (if necessary/desired) to pay the tax bill.

The loans would be very secure, since by definition they would have appreciated more than the taxes owing. And if the current offsetting-loss notions are retained (e.g. losses can be carried back to offset prior gains), if the securities fall in value then the taxes paid would be refunded, providing another way to repay the loan.

In the meantime, you'd avoid a current inefficiency of the tax system that encourages people to hold on to subpar or undesirable investments to avoid realizing taxable gains. The entire cottage industry of deciding which investments are "tax efficient" and should be held in taxable versus tax-sheltered accounts should go away.

Yes, however this will work (typically) if the cluster already exists (a previous run), but typically not if you creating the cluster, and kubernetes provider, as part of the same run.

IIRC you'll end up with a kubernetes provider without auth (typically pointing at your local machine), which is 1, not helpful, and 2) can be actively bad.

I believe the core issue here is that providers don't have the ability to specify a `depends_on` relation: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/2430

As a user of btrfs myself, btrfs is not a great option for single disk workstations.

If you look at who is funding development, where they are using btrfs, and the bugs and features getting deferred - its clear the direction of btrfs is not a single disk workstation but a large multi disk system in a rack somewhere.
Tbh, illegality aside, creating a very highly secure system like this from scratch as an one or two person project sounds very exciting and fun.
Speaking for myself here, I don't see how people can use the web without javascript. As for Tor, you're routing other people's traffic while they route yours, so I can understand how such connections would be blocked given that blocking IPs is still a method for mitigating security issues, and you can't determine the IP of a Tor browser.

These gangsterphones are far from cheap. I remember the earlier network of them that was taken down in the Netherlands. I forget the name but the phones apparently cost around €2000 which is more than the most expensive iPhone you can buy.

I guess gangsters only trust other shady types to sell them stuff. In this case the trust was misplaced because they stored all the keys centrally and the cops were listening in for months before they shut it down.

This is also why I think it’s crazy we pay taxes on startup options when exercised. There’s not market to liquidate to pay those taxes and the end value is very likely $0
I feel like "capital gains" occupy a strange middle-ground between income and wealth.

Capital gains clearly represent a change in your wealth, and are somewhat "income-like". But they also are a persistent thing that you are in control of until the time of sale, and are somewhat "property-like".

It seems plausible that we could come up with a reasonable-scheme for capital gains taxes that manages to accommodate both properties, but I think it'd take a fair amount of consideration to make sure that there aren't nasty edge cases, and the benefits outweigh the additional accounting.

I mean this as a constructive complaint, not just for this post, but many posts on HN: I do wish the titles of submissions included some context that would clue me into the nature of the product, service, or meaning of the submission. I do not fault the submitter.

I know that this desire conflicts with the submission guideline to avoid modification of the original title unless misleading. I understand that this technique can sometimes foster curiosity, and cause users to follow links and learn about new things. Still, I often read submissions and even websites that assume a level of familiarity that act as a barrier to followup simply because I miss a useful connection.

I also recognize that this may be perceived as mere laziness on my part, and you're right, it is. Suggested title:

Democracy and Mass Skepticism of Science
A bunch of talking heads went on CNBC over the past 5-10 years and talked about how existing cryptocurrencies like bitcoin were outlaw non-starters, but that "blockchain technology" was novel and here to stay, provided that governments and big banks would be able to retain control.

Those people were and still are idiots, but there were enough of them to catch the attention of unimaginative MBAs at big unimaginative places like Microsoft and IBM -- to spawn products like these.
Because in big commercial projects several people or teams merge inside the main branch on a regular basis. It's easier to look at a history only including squashed commits each encompassing an entire PR (feature or a bug).

It gives you better high-level observability and a good bird's-eye view. And again -- if you need more details you can go and check all separate commits in the PR/branch anyway.

And finally, squashed commits are kind of atomic commits. Imagine history of three separate PRs happening at roughly the same time. And now all those commits are interspersed in the history of the main branch.

How is that useful or informative? It's chaos.

EDIT: my bad, I conflated merging with rebasing. Still, I prefer a single squashed commit for most of the reasons above, plus those of the other two commenters (useful git blame output and buildable history).
Amen! I found it excruciating that the language was always a few simple steps away from being homomorphic to JSON. I desperately needed to be able to manipulate it as data structures, not as strings. All of the ways I found to work around its limitations made me wish for something else entirely.
Stratospheric wealth inequality is much more a consequence of monetary policy than tax policy. When the apparent goal of policymakers is to prevent large sustained drops in the value of financial assets, then those who primarily own financial assets will see their wealth effortlessly increase while the majority of the population who trade labor for money will remain in place.

> Why not pay your income tax when you know - you get your income

Yeah, I have no idea why gambiting is not doing that.

The rules in the US is that your estimated tax payments have to cover the smaller of 90% of your current-year ongoing (quarterly) tax liability or 90% (sometimes 110% for high incomes, an there are other special rules for farmers/fishermen) of the previous-year tax liability.

So yes, you can make them based on last year's income as as safe harbor if you have no clue what's going on with your income this year for some reason. Or you can just make them based on this year's income as you go.
If the choice is 40% tax or 2% interest...
> Everyone will agree you can't owe a million times GDP, but no one can describe the "limit".

I’ve heard the limit described as “when the nation can only afford the interest payments on the principal” which means the nation can never pay back the principal itself. I heard that 10 years ago
"Police are allowed to do that, not soldiers."

It may be more that police is trained to do that compared to soldiers, as in order to be effective in what they supposed to do, they all should be specialized. And yes, when it comes to fighting drug dealers and all around looks more like a war zone instead of a "misbehaving civilians" affair, then a more appropriate tool use gets warranted.

This works even without the depends_on property. All you need to is have the module you use for creating the cluster have an output that is guaranteed to be a computed property.

Then use that computed property as input variable for whatever you want to deploy into Kubernetes.

We're using this with multiple providers and it works. Of course, an actual dependency that's visible would be better.

> but for actual browser apps, content blockers are sorely missing.

A simple, but functionally very basic app that does ad-blocking on iOS is Firefox Focus. This might cover most people's basic privacy needs, but not as a fully-functioning experience (I use this more for 'one-off' site visits, where I don't want to be tracked, see ads, or have any persistent record of my visit on the device).

But for a fully-featured browser with user-configurable content, JavaScript, CSS and ad-blocking, then the little-known iCab Mobile[0] does almost everything that a desktop browser can do in terms of privacy and content-control.

Nah. The author states clearly that wage earners don’t have assets other than homes.

The facts are:

“By the end of 2018, the 25 [wealthiest Americans] were worth $1.1 trillion.

For comparison, it would take 14.3 million ordinary American wage earners put together to equal that same amount of wealth.

The personal federal tax bill for the top 25 in 2018: $1.9 billion.

The bill for the wage earners: $143 billion.”
Tangentially related, I am writing a book each with each of my (older) kids. Its nothing much (just some fun sci-fi that got them a bit interested in the project(s) at all) but it is theirs.

Interesting bit of history, I was unaware of the details here.

A page with a list of shortcuts is terrible for discovery though. I can't open a browser all the time to try and fine if something is there (not to mention apps not listed there).

I think the solution used by others of always including it in menus and tool-tips is a lot better for discoverability.

My biggest gripe continues to be consistency though. Apps may use Cmd, Ctrl or Alt for shortcuts, with no clear pattern.

This has the added problem that it's super hard to create global shortcuts that don't overlap with any app. For example, on Linux, no apps use Cmd (Super), so you're free to bind Super+Anything for your own global shortcuts, and you'll never shadow any app. If I try using Super+w (or Ctrl+w), I'll quickly come across some app where I'm shadowing a shortcut.
The inode size is a tunable filesystem parameter and can be changed with

tune2fs -I /dev/sda1

As explained in the manual, this rewrites the inode table, is a (or used to be due to inefficient algorithms) lengthy process, and data can be corrupted if it is interrupted. Therefore backups are very much recommended. And if you make a backup (although you should already have) it's simpler and probably faster to just copy back after reformatting.
It depends on what your definition of common folks is. Even here in Montreal, where housing prices have been historically depressed VS the US and the rest of Canada, I know plenty of families with very modest salaries who bought 200-300k $ homes 10-20 years ago that are now worth well north of 1.5m+. Obviously a lot of people didn't get richer, but a huge proportion of the population did (at least on paper).

By any definition being worth more than 1m$ is a lot of money, especially here. But it seems like the goalposts keep getting moved to the point where saying "what about the millionaires" is seen as an attack on the working class because billionaires exist. I've seen people argue that Bernie wasn't rich because he is just worth less than 2m$(!!). Sure, billionaires have a lot more wealth than your average millionaire but I'd bet even taxing them at 100% would bring so much less revenue than raising the tax rates on the "lower millionaire bourgeoisie" by a few percentage points. Yes we can do both, but it's not going to happen considering the complete focus on the mega wealthy sometimes coming from other rich people in denial.

As long as you feel happy with what you are doing, don't worry about comparing with others. You do what you want to do. If you want to work extra, do it. Don't let others tell you that it is bad.

"by investing my own time into my work, I disadvantage others who are not willing or able to do so, by seeming even more productive than my baseline."

Lol at this. You don't disadvantage anyone else. You are doing more for yourself. You yourself said "investing my own time". It may pay off later.

Some people work 4 hours a day and they think that's too much. Some work 8 and they think thats the best they can do. Some sit all day doing nothing. Some work like crazy. Doesn't matter what others do. There is always going to be someone better than you and someone worse than you. Stop comparing and only care about what YOU want.
Here's the motivation:

To maximize social developments, we reward those who create value for the society. If someone, via their own efforts and without stealing/fraud, generate a lot of wealth, they would have invariably added value to the society by creating a win-win for the buyers, employees and themselves.

When however someone born to a rich person inherits wealth, they are at an unfair advantage for something that they did not really accomplish, and not for any value they added to the society.

The world should aim to equalize opportunity for everyone (irrespective of who they are born to), and then reward them when they create more value than others from the same opportunity. Agreed that defining "equalized opportunity" is hard -- what all would it cover, health?, edutcation?, etc. However, even with some challenges here, this may be better than the current system.

The "use it or lose it" would make the wealthy put money back into the system, and automatic adjustments would result via supply and demand balancing. I understand that it would also increase wastage, and this would need some thinking through. My gut reasion however is how much money can the super rich really use and waste? Ultimately, even items bought by them but unused may be reusable by others (who ideally should not be their hiers at 100%).

To target ultra-wealthy individuals, I like the idea of a value-added tax (VAT). For a car for example, this would tax the steel producers, the components producers, the Ford plant, the dealership, and the consumer...but adjusting the VAT to be progressive, you can make it so the consumer doesn't bear much VAT at all, if you prefer.

Would this work in financial industries? I can see it working with products that value is added into, but for financial instruments I'm not sure how that'd operate.
