Perhaps, though all of those things have downsides and limitations. But the idea here is not defending all the intricacies of the US tax code. It's simply noting that the gloss of the article that somehow it's a giant scandal that unrealized cap gains aren't taxed is dumb.

Yeah, borrow as in you have to pay it all back plus an extra percentage. It might be a lower percentage than capital gains, but you better hope the asset keeps appreciating at more than you borrowed + percentage.

And then once you pay it back you still have to eventually cash out and pay capital gains tax anyway.

Like if I had done that with bitcoin a couple of months ago (and it's possible to do, there's DeFi now), I would have been in some deep shit with the 50% drop recently.

It does seem like a bit of a sidestep though, and I'm sure rich people are probably taking advantage of it, so I wouldn't be opposed to some sort of small tax on money gained from loans made against your assets assuming you owned enough of them (like I don't want to hurt small business loans or anyone in the middle class from it), to discourage this practice a bit.
>> When you talk about opportunities, what do you specifically mean by that?

They explicitly calculate it based on increase in wealth, rather than total wealth, which seems like a reasonable substitution.

If you look at Scrooge McDuck's giant pit full of gold coins, and even though the pipe flowing into the room marked 'income' doesn't have any coins rolling down it into the pile, but the pipe heading out marked 'expenses' seems to be steadily draining coins... and yet the pile of coins is somehow still getting bigger...

.... maybe you have to accept that just looking at what's going on in that income pipe isn't giving you the whole picture.
[2]Oh but it already has happening in Singapore. IF the kid can't make it through the conventional academic path, and has to rely on the discretionary route, there are plenty of coaches who will 'teach' your kid how to interview and even 'help' write the essay on his 'interests'.

Of course, the interviewers can easily spot those coached this way, but that is not going to stop the tiger mom from doing what she wants.

Not all shares can be sold. Especially at all times (blackout periods, etc.)

The problem with the oft-cited options example is that tax is levied on gain of an asset that in fact cannot be legally sold at the time the tax is levied and is often enough worthless (or worth a lot less than at tax time) by the time it _can_ be legally sold.

Asset-based taxation on liquid assets with deep markets and clear prices is indeed probably fine in various ways. But if you tax other sorts of assets there are various problems, and if you only tax the easily-taxable ones people will turn to the other ones to avoid taxation...

I also want to be able to tell _why_ which is why I dislike working on codebases that squash commmits. Too many times I've done a blame to see why a change was made, and it's a giant (> 10) list of commit messages. Oftentimes, the macro description of what was going on does not help me with the line-level detail.

Also, in case it helps you in the future, `blame -wC` is what I use when doing blame; it ignores whitespace changes and tracks changes across files (changes happened before a rename, for example.)
That’s the convenient excuse that anti-estate tax advocates use, yes.

In reality it would be pretty easy to setup the tax code to avoid such issues, but instead we’ve whittled the estates tax down to nothing to benefit heirs of the ultra wealthy.

That is a thing you can do in the US. It is not a thing you have to do, by any means.
If you don't want to just buy and hold, then basically what you're doing is trying to profit off the lemmings. You do that by becoming one of them, and then jumping off before the rest of them go over the cliff. (Yes, I know it's a myth.)

Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. It doesn't matter how misguided the lemmings are: you can't profit just by being right in the long term. The lemmings are all giving their money away. Why shouldn't you get some?

The answer is that you get some by being smarter than them, and if you're not smarter than them, you will lose. It's true of poker and of market timing: there's a sucker at every table, and if you don't know who it is, it's you.

Personally, I know who it is: it's me. Or it would be, if I thought I could outsmart the lemmings. So I don't. But I totally get why others would. You're either investing in the market for its long, slow supply of earnings, or you're trying to take excess money from the other players. I happen to prefer the former, as a positive-sum game rather than a zero-sum one. But if you really are smart, or lucky, you'll make more money faster.

So I guess TFA is right to not be a lemming. But there's a ton of money to be made by putting on a lemming costume for a while.

> If I had to choose between my kids getting good grades and working on ambitious projects of their own, I'd pick the projects.

I've been thinking about this a lot recently. Unfortunately kids in Sweden have to attend school by law, homeschooling is not allowed. By extension, you're not allowed to go on trips, or take any other time off without permission from the school. As my kid is only 3, I'm not sure how strict they are with this, but it feels very suffocating to me. I want him to have breathing room to spend time on projects and whatever he's passionate about, even if that means missing out on regular school for a while or getting worse grades. The last resort is to move abroad, but that has obvious downsides. The intention for this law was probably good: ensure that all kids get an education, and are not brainwashed by religious nuts, but it really really bothers me.
That mirrors my experience. It's not POs or PMs that hear about some new niche browser feature only supported by Chrome. It's devs that want to play with the latest toys and kind of look at you weird if you use Safari.

There's an annoying assumption from other devs that I must be using Safari out of ignorance. They quickly get over it, but it's a problematic first impression thing when working with new teams.
I agree it was a good idea to get rid of the XUL-based UI and XUL addons. But I think allowing addons to apply some limited CSS changes to the new UI could be a good compromise.

It would be significantly less powerful than what could be done with XUL, but it would provide a more reasonable interface to go beyond simply changing colours and background images.

I can acknowledge that there would be challenges creating such a feature in a way that is resistant to abuse, but I think it could allow the browser to regain a big competitive advantage at a fraction of the cost of the old implementation.
Yeah this is horseshit for everybody except maybe founders. I'm selling my labor for money. If I work harder and the company does better, this translates into almost no extra benefits to me, with all of the net benefit going to the owners. I want "work/life balance" because I am being paid for a very specific amount of work and I want my employer to keep its nose out of the rest of my time.

At least with a founder they capture more of the economic output of their overwork, but even then you hear so many stories of families that have been sacrificed at the altar of entrepreneurship that I can't even support this approach for most founders.
LVT would make it much more difficult. LVT does not value based on the improved properties on a site--in the purest form, it is a tax based on the land alone. A vacant lot would have the same tax as a lot with a tall building.

If you want a similar experience with text, I can recommend Learning with Texts (LWT) if you want a self-hosted experience and you are okay putting in some work to setting things up. Basically you feed it some text and it lets you click on words and define their meaning as well as how well you know the word, from 1-5 + "Known" status.

There is also LingQ which is a paid and proprietary service, but it has a ton of content as well as no real setup required. It has an already populated pop-up dictionary and many texts to pick from. LWT was inspired from LingQ if I remember correctly.

I've used both and can recommend both depending on what experience you are after, I switched to LWT however to save some money and gain some control. I also happen to prefer the experience using LWT. If you're interested in LingQ, be warned LingQ has a pretty scummy subscription cancellation sequence, requiring you to click through 5+ screens of offers and "are you sure?" pages, as well as them threatening with deleting your account data. My data seems intact after the cancellation though.

I presume it would be easy to set up systems of mortgages to pay land value tax. In fact I imagine that in practice land value taxation would be indistinguishable from paying a slightly higher mortgage, for most people. In fact given the downward pressure it would impose on property prices it could easily mean people end up paying less than what they would pay as mortgage under the current system.

I've seen a lot of ECG results, and I always did my own interpretation, but I always found the machine to be accurate, which is unsurprising since distinguishing rhythms is very codified anyway. My only issue with the machine is that it's not really doing something difficult that needs doing. You still need someone that understands how to read ECG's and make decisions about patient management based on past and present conditions. That is the hard part.

I'm curious though. Can you elaborate on the types of issues you have encountered? What brand of equipment were you using?
I recently deleted a lot of social media accounts. My concerns are any accounts I created for important things using social media accounts, and losing track of what behavior is publicly acceptable in the ever changing Overton window. I feel like the benefits to productivity and mental health will exceed those concerns greatly though.
Isn't the grouping of methods with data a core fundamental principle of OOP? Even if it is syntactic sugar, Variables, Types, Classes, functions, method calls, structs are just syntactic sugar too. It just so happens that the syntactic sugar of grouping functions with data is OOP.
That seems a very precise conclusion to draw from a very imprecise proposal!
You're looking for 'terraform state mv'. After my first handful of these it's now as natural as refactoring and moving modules in any code-base, almost.

I imagine it works well for the whole business that they allow product teams to use the best cloud tools for the job rather than requiring them to use AWS for everything. If AWS is forced to compete even for Amazon.com's custom, that should make the whole company more resilient to long term technical stagnation.
I'm thinking I should just delete my account and it would show me garbage subreddits and the new UI (you can select the old UI if you're logged in), the new UI sucks so much that it would make me visit them less and less.

Also they talk about a secret key, not a private key. That means it's likely using symmetric key encryption, with RSA for signing (and maybe to update the symmetric key a la RSA-KEM). This is normal, nobody does direct asymmetric message encryption.
Oh yeah, rebasing branches as a "merge" policy is definitely tricky like that. (I mean, I'm sure some people do that with and perhaps with good reason, but it makes this kind of stuff clearly worse).

Judging from this survey, most developers are just about clueless.

The problem with block chain is how to sustain interest and participation in hosting it.

If a large corporation or government hosts it or pays to host it, the block chain is really kinda pointless --- call it what you want but it's really just another hosted, single entity solution.

If public participation is not sufficiently diverse and widespread, the block chain becomes vulnerable to take over or attack.

The only practical solution found thus far is to create funds out of electrons (cryptocurrency) in order to encourage and reward participation.

Effectively, it is a solution looking for a problem --- and about the only working problem found thus far is cryptocurrency. And the long term future of this is questionable. All of which explains why Microsoft and IBM have shutdown their block chain operations. This would appear to register them firmly in the "hype" category.
Here's another framing: I think the government ought to fund infrastructure, healthcare, and so on, and also that it doesn't mainly because it's filled with corrupt lackeys of the wealthy elite, and even where it does fund these things the mechanism of distribution (government contractors) is also corrupt. It's perfectly rational to attempt to minimize funding that.

> Unfortunately instead, the author spends much more time on point 1, conflating wealth with income, and avoiding the obvious argument that capital gains are eventually taxed - the rich are not escaping that.

Isn't it the point that wealth creates more wealth? and the more you have the more you can make? thus not paying taxes leaves you with more to play with?

Many of these are already usable via other OS features:

Not that Mozilla has ever really cared a lot to maintain backwards compatibility for the APIs that are public.

An actual VT4xx or VT5xx is the best terminal. An xterm window is a decent substitute (and if it comes with the optional Tek emulator, has some small extra whistles, but I think that has mostly been ripped out of all xterms by now).

I am not convinced that Apple kit has the best UX (and I am in the same room as two macs that I alternate between).

I take none of Stack Overflow's surveys seriously.

Their audience is not representative at all. It's skewed heavily toward people who are newer to coding or just trying to get through a bootcamp.

Also, their question was classically badly designed: the choices were "all hype" or "game changer", two extremes without any hint of nuance.

Let's not let this marketing disguised as data spark the flamewar that SO obviously wants it to.
why do these "how much they really pay" exposés always stop short of the full comprehension of taxes paid by these business owners?

they conflate "wealth as resource allocation" (business ownership) with "wealth as consumption" (personal individual gain) to show that these people aren't paying their "fair share."

in this case, propublica has the chart showing the "true tax rate" by conflating the two different kinds of wealth.

shouldn't the "true tax rate" account the payroll taxes and business taxes paid by these businesses? if we are going to allocate the ownership of business as part of the wealth calculation, then shouldn't we also allocate the taxes paid by these businesses to the individuals as well?

Typical estimates suggest a 1% increase in tax expenditure on charitable deductions (so government forgone revenue due to deductions) leads to a more than 1% increase in charitable giving, so deductions increase social spending (see p170 in https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1257/jep.25.2.157)

But could be distributional issues as well depending on where the rich choose to donate — lots of that money is probably implicit transfers from government revenues to the Met
Yeah, and anyone who has had to spend some time digging into the nuances of capital gains taxation (e.g. active cryptocurrency traders like myself) soon realizes that almost all of the complexity is due to the intractable problem of timing: the decision to buy or sell an asset should be dictated by the economics of the asset itself, which generally has no relationship to the imaginary line between December 31st of one year and January 1st of the following year.

I'm convinced that any rational and just approach to capital gains taxation must provide a mechanism for matching income to the holding period of the asset rather than the strict and arbitrary cutoff between calendar years.

That's covered under the "standard deduction" in US federal taxes. I'm not saying it's fair--that deduction doesn't really cover rent in most places--but that's the intent. Basically, you can't use the same system because the tax code is rigged in favor of the wealthy.
