Comparing Tailwind with Web Components might be a bit unfair. It is well known that Web Components have terrible dev ergonomics.

It would be more fair to compare with frameworks that work with scoped styles (such as Svelte or Vue’s single file components). Developing in these is also an excellent productivity boost.

The theory behind this kind of approach is actually very deep. If we had a “perfect compressor” that returned the shortest non-halting prefix-free Turing machine that, when run, output the original dataset, this would essentially be the best classifier we could create. But as the author notes, there are some heavy computational penalties to overcome for this, even to an approximation.
Completely agree - it was literally done to keep that negative spin on Trump at all odds. The extremely rapid publication of the "no lab leak" paper was super sus as well!
The article didn't even go very far to defend rich people or their wealth, merely arguing that it's not bad for people to obey existing laws that permit them to defer paying taxes on unrealized capital gains, and possibly also not bad for them to obey existing laws that permit them to give unrealized capital gains to charity instead of being taxed on them.

> and at worst reads far worse intentions into the Propublica article than I can see.

The ProPublica article calls out Warren Buffett for tax avoidance, even though he simply had less income. I question the integrity of the writers who want to slander Buffett, who has been extremely outspoken about increasing the taxes rich people pay. There exists no tax on unrealized gains, and Buffett did not realize gains, so why would they try to make an example out of him by falsely accusing him of hypocrisy?

How do you claim someone is avoiding a tax that does not even exist?

While they might have a point about needing to tax unrealized gains, they certainly went about it in an inappropriate manner, more suited for a tabloid rather than a respectable outlet for journalism.
> so called "International Law"

Are you expressing contempt for the principle of international law, or its implementation? Either way, it sure would be a shame if you were to accuse others of violating laws you don't believe in. Like, for example:

> UN "peace keepers" who frequently committed real war crimes

Whoop, there it is.

> I'm not aware of any recent military conflict which didn't had elements considered a war crime

One war crime does not justify another. That's a basic principle of all law.

> I guess IDF is the only army in the world who operates according to these rules

They don't. They have repeatedly been found in violation of those laws, but nothing can be enforced because...

> The truth is it's only applied to a weaker countries

... and Israel, especially with the US as its frequent lone ally in the UN security council, is not a weak country.

Thank you for being marked legitimate by dang and using that privilege to level content-free, snarky replies that address absolutely none of the feedback you directly asked for in this thread!

Now who isn’t engaging with criticism, again? Literally a journalist showed up to engage with you while you’re banging on that we don’t, so, your reaction here kinda speaks for itself and explains a lot more than you think. Good luck with your news startup.

Moral embarassment of earning 5 million while everyone makes 50k. And everyone seeing this and quitting and going to a company where the boss only makes 100k if everyone else makes 50k (for example).

This might be unfathomable to some people and I must admit that having all salaries public is a bit strange to me as well. I don't know if I like it. I also read elsewhere on here that it only reports net income. I wonder how many schemes of making it look like you have less net income than you really do are employed. Sort of like profitable companies making themselvesook like they are loosing money or barely scraping by to avoid taxes.
Okay. And then what?

Answer: use this information to guide policy changes. This is how incident response works. You don’t just ignore what happened and spray a bunch of bruteforce measures that miss the point; you root cause it.

D.R.A.S.T.I.C. and others working towards this effort are definitely interested in it because of its value for guiding prevention.

I fully disagree with you. You get as many at-bats as you want. It depends on what you're willing to give up FOR those at-bats. Is it worth your extra time, spare time, finances, family time, TV time? That is for each to decide.
>I think it would be entirely reasonable for the international community to pressure China to document their disease research, problems, and expand safety protocols.

And then the next time the source is India. There's plenty of examples worldwide of biological research being handled poorly, if China was responsible for the worst result it doesn't mean they were less responsible.

>Should we be pressuring China and others to curtail "wet markets"?

Should we stop eating pigs? As swine flu had the potential to be comparatively catastrophic.

Your entire post is filled with "blame China" when everything involved is an international issue. This is exactly why I don't care about where it came from, too many people will push for that information to be used to "punish those responsible" rather than actually try to limit future outbreaks.
The operative entity Robert Bosch GmbH is 94% owned by the Robert Bosch Stiftung (which is also a GmbH, but with “common good” focus, so receives some tax advantages, but it’s not a proper foundation despite the name).

The Stiftung has no voting rights, however. Its voting rights are with a KG entity, which in turn has no ownership in the operative auto supplier entity.

The Stiftung receives a share of the auto supplier entity profit every year. Both entities operate separately, with the Stiftung pursuing various focus areas in healthcare, education, etc. The Stiftung also has a separate board whose mandate it is to execute on the Stiftung’s mission. It has nothing to do with making operative decisions at the auto supplier.

In 2020, the auto supplier paid approx 50% of its pretax profit in taxes.
> they don't want the Republicans who questioned this at the start to look good

And this is actually how people think. I have no idea what's wrong with them, but it's completely f-ing crazy. A CNN staffer was wishing that the death toll was higher just to say that they were right and the Republicans were wrong.

I also remember some interview, that I probably won't be able to find, where some left-wing protester was also saying something like he wants the country to fall apart, because if it doesn't then that'd mean that Trump was right. Or something along these lines.

Writing off investment losses does not eliminate or even reduce the risk! It avoids you paying taxes on money you didn't actually earn.

Our income/gains taxes avoid confiscating your (hopefully productive!) property by only taxing you on the profits you realize, which both enables and encourages you to keep up what you're doing, producing more prosperity for yourself, your community, and tax income for the government. It doesn't reward you for taking risks, but it doesn't punish you for taking them either. If you take a risk, lose money, and still get taxed on that money you're getting punished for taking a risk.
I’m in a similar boat. Previously built vaporware costing millions of dollars of seed money. Now I have my own project and although it makes no money it is awesome to see people use it and exciting to see people share it on social media.
++ to this. Mobile is impossible to revert and hotfixes are orders of magnitude slower than web.

There are tactics to try and get it to look more similar (such as using RN, or making heavy use of feature flags), but ultimately app store review makes it a different beast.

This is why we built Screenplay (https://screenplay.dev/): to make mobile reversible and try to get releases to look more like web.

I loved using Perl for projects in the early days of the Web. For anything even remotely expressive or artistic, Perl was the way to go. But if you want to communicate scientific insight, using the write-only language is something I have to maintain my doubts. But, if Inline::Python works as well as the comments above indicate, then I might be tempted again. Number crunching in Python, pretty pictures and presentation in Perl.. Hmm.
> What should the wealthy do? What is the right amount for them to pay? It is unreasonable to expect them to maximize their tax burden. You could find ways to spend all your money on taxes if desired. So the whole premise is nonsensical. No one would ever do that.

1. There's a huge gap between maximizing your own tax burden, and lobbying/working very hard to ensure that the tax code is written to minimize your tax burden.

2. The group Patriotic Millionares (among others) would like to talk to you. They explicitly campaign for increasing their own taxes (and those of others in their socio-economic strata).
Assuming the parent comment is referring to earnings in Euros rather than USD they're talking about ~250k USD. It doesn't seem at all strange that leadership in a small company is making the same as entry developers at FAANG. For one, small business. Two, the company leadership gets more equity and a more interesting job.
Hey guys, I’m building a site for collectors of Pokémon, Magic: the Gathering, Sports Cards, etc. (starting with Pokémon) and would love your input.

Product feedback on the current version would be super helpful, and if you're a collector yourself, thoughts on what would be most useful for me to build next would be great.

So far, I’m basically gathering up eBay sales to track the value of cards/your whole collection over time. To actually start providing services, the next things I’m thinking of adding on top are:

1. Sell your cards easily - input the cards you want to sell and get a quick offer on all of them
2. Grading - just like PSA, CGC, etc. - high quality, flat rate grading service (I know this one’s challenging, since so much depends on brand reputation, and starting from zero is rough)
3. Vault - Store your cards in a safe location, fully insured and protected, and manage them from the site. Buy, sell, or grade cards directly from the vault.

Do any of these seem more crucial/needed than the others? Also, is there some other service that you’d love to have that doesn’t exist yet?
The old 40 / 28nm Fab capacity had been in very tight supply for years even before the pandemic hit. This whole semiconductor shortage only happens to caught on by Mainstream Media now as they have a new direction to blame ( TSMC ) along with politics of China.

And chip being important to cars has been known for a long time with stories going back to 2013 within the industry. So you can at least infer that Bosch knew this for a long time. This is their second Fab and it was planned in 2017 and confirmed in 2018.

It is like TSMC, all of a sudden everyone talks about it. But in pre-2015 hardly anyone knew them or heard of it. Those that heard of it only thought they Fab chips for Nidia. It was Apple that bring them to the forefront.

Sometimes I just think mainstream media is such an unreliable source of information I am wondering if there are any point reading them at all other than to gather the flow of current society sentiment.
I wholeheartedly agree. But the reddit hypersensitive and hyperbolic mentality is seeping out of reddit - any mention that even suggests that contrary belief is wrong or misguided is met with a strong response that discourages further discussion on the matter. Cancel culture, in short. I’ve been seeing it creep into HN for quite some time, although it’s more civil here.
I am not actually sure, but ASML does have a US R&D and manufacturing presence. Their largest site is in CT (https://www.asml.com/en/company/about-asml/locations/wilton-...). As for Intel, they bought a 15% stake in ASML in 2012 (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-intel-asml-idUSBRE86819B2...) and ASML is have suspected to have sold machines to Intel subsequently (https://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/anton-shilo...). However, Intel may have not needed as many machines because they were able to avoid depending on EUV for some nodes (https://www.reuters.com/article/asml-intel-idUSL8N1AY2H4).
What is being crippled here?

The ability to execute arbitrary JavaScript in content scripts at runtime. Remote-browser works by making it very easy to run code in content and background script contexts from a remote client. Typical browser automation tasks like filling out an input, clicking a button, or extracting the HTML of an element are accomplished by marshaling code and results between the browser and the client.

your point is that the API was stable with V2

My point isn't that the API was stable, it's that Google is moving towards removing key features from the API because they consider them to be too powerful. Blocking webRequest and executeScript are two notable examples.
That's not actually the point of the ProPubica piece. The central point there is the treatement of unrealized capital gains.

Why do we tax property more (outside California) when it increases in value? Didn’t the owner of it rightfully make a smart claim and stake out a great piece of land? Why should they be penalized by paying more when the land becomes worth more?

In short: there’s no amount of personal “hard work” that made Bezos’ company worth what it is: the vast majority of the gains are due to his employees’ work and having staked a claim on the right plots of business ventures. Absolutely Bezos should be rewarded for making those smart decisions, but why should he take the vast majority of the gains, when he was not responsible for the vast majority of the value added?

Allowing a few individuals to amass a fortune larger than the non-US NATO budget, while we’re at the same time facing human-extinction level threats, feels a little absurd on its face. Moving the needle towards any one individual only having more power than a few thousand average people, rather than a few million, seems fine?
According to Google, a one off I wrote in Perl in 1998 is still in use at the lab I wrote it in.
Google flight search does just as good as Skiplagged for the routes I tend to fly and the UI makes it easier to find the cheapest dates.

If I am doing complicated international stuff I will check multiple locations for prices but for my simple domestic routes the ease and speed of google flights makes it the best option.

Edit: That said, I don't use google as my default search engine as I switched all my devices to DDG a long time ago.
To me this read like "avoiding taxation" == "refusing to realize significant proportions of one's gains". I don't see anything wrong with that. We all do it (if we aspire to financial independence).
Any insight into why that is discouraged?

Also I explain on a sibling thread that there is a fundamental difference between setting a custom property (like I do here) and setting a specific style value. While I do see how the latter can be problematic as there are no hints to the changed style in the CSS file, the former does not have that issue, particularly if you name the property with a hint to the dynamic nature if it.

You're welcome to not want a build step.

I love having a build because it automates a lot of useful, difficult work. Tree-shaking is a good example.

If you want to do a lot more work because of some hipster devotion to "craft" or whatever (I honestly can't understand your argument beyond its condescending tone), you do you.

This is a tool for people who like to make their lives easier by automating things, and you're not going to categorically change anyone's mind by tilting at windmills.

100% agree that propublica didn’t do a good job, but the question remains, if somebody makes the claim that some billionaire sold some stock at long term gain prices, then in at least some tax year you would expect that massive amount of money to dwarf any losses they had, so if they truly paid long term cap gains then in one particular year their tax rate should be close to 15%. But if it’s not over long periods of time, then they have some massive method of offsetting gains. People saying “oh but they pay capital gains” or “oh they offset with losses” doesn’t make any actual sense if the numbers are huge. Like imagine some billionaire explaining to his buddy, “yea I didn’t pay any tax on the 1B in stock I sold last year because I offsetted the gains with 150M in losses rather than paying the taxes, aren’t you impressed?” Its like huh? It seems like way more likely the “losses” are actually paper losses like a building cost depreciating in value “supposedly” but actually it does not depreciate like that in reality.. so it would be great to see how this stuff works over some period of time rather than just in random one off cases.

Maybe the trick is simply just borrow for your whole life then when you die pay back the loans but somehow that payback process results in limited taxes somehow.
That article fails to address a key point: the vast majority of those "regressive" taxes are really forced savings for retirement, where you get a return based on your contributions.

FICA taxes are capped because the benefits are as well.
What do you mean by after tax? Capital gains are literally that, value increase of assets. How is that after tax?

Also, if you’re going to discount inflation, don’t you have to do the same for annual salaries which are very much worth less under any significant inflation?

There's no distinction between Marxism and cultural Marxism as their goals are the same - to restructure society for the benefit of Marxist leaders.

And there's been virtually no discussion of centrist viewpoints on HN in the past year - the US Democratic Party and BLM Inc. are Marxist organizations. Anything that's not leftist is automatically MAGA on HN despite facts.

The reason you keep hearing racism accusations from the left is that they don't want solutions - they want appeasement, to advance Marxism. Luckily Senator Manchin (D) refuses to allow Marxist policies to be codified into law.

Someday reality will dawn on HN about Marxism in the US, like the recent "discovery" here that the lab leak theory was always plausible. It's been embarrassing seeing HN downvote that for a year, too. (BTW: LLNL published a secret report in May 2020 that the lab leak theory was credible. Oops.)

If what I said isn't clear to you about progressives, watch this video of a socialist Swede interviewing Ann Coulter. The Swede represents the average US leftist today, who thinks they know what's going on in the US, but has no understanding beyond virtue signalling.

> (A lot of cap gains are also due to inflation, i.e. they're fake gains.)

You are a poor investor (or at least a weird one!) if that much your gains are due to inflation -- even under the more aggressive or even kooky benchmarks of inflation they're still not that large compared to broad market returns.

The fact that the fake gains from inflation are taxed is probably somewhat market distorting in that it discourages investment in low risk low return opportunities, but (perhaps due to that distortion) it ends up not being that big of a factor overall.
