good point, considering it
Based on a quick Cmd+F this document doesn't explicitly define what 'Account deletion' must be. Does it just mean that the user does no longer exist on the app's frontend, but all data is retained? Or does it explicitly mean that all data relevant to that user is deleted?
That is a cool idea!

The current zsh vi implementations provide ways to edit the current command in vim. But being able to do that in any readline environment like psql is a very powerful concept. I want it :)
Yeah, HN privacy standards are really low. I was horrified to read of moderators using the email addresses that they say are for account recovery to contact commenters. (Thankfully I never put an email in my account; I'd definitely have felt the need to send a GDPR notice if that happened to me). I assume that sooner or later an EU resident will decide they actually want to quit and force the site to buck up.
If debts are denominated in dollars, do you know how it will be determined how many Bitcoin would suffice for repayment (and vice versa)?
Yeah, I agree with all that. But I want to clarify a little.

>If you had these separately to the Theranos etc shares, you had to buy them. Since the $175M was a full loss of $175M then that can't account for the (non-losing) Uber shares.

Yep. So you had to have more than $175M of fully taxed money at the beginning. But most of that stayed in Uber, only a small percent of the Uber stock needed to be sold. This makes my original argument stronger, but only slightly. Since it only made my argument slightly stronger I didn't bother mentioning it.

>You'd need to know to only invest in Uber, and not in Theranos etc to do this. The idea of the portfolio is you need to invest broadly to allow for the successes. If you kept the $175M in your bank account, you wouldn't be able to achieve that.

Sure. But my main point is that this isn't a method to spend money while delaying tax on it. m_ke seemed to be saying a billionaire can spend money on a mansion without paying tax on it right away, but that $175M at the beginning already had tax paid on it. So the $175M spent on the mansion was fully taxed already.

A diversified portfolio helps with optimizing stock sales to delay some taxes. But enough taxes are still paid early such that every dollar spent is fully taxed by the time it's spent.
My point is for that to also be in the downloaded app, since the new rule requires account creation and deletion to both be in the same place - which I think is a natural place to look for it as a user, savvy or not.
I feel we need to flesh that out more. Because if we just say sleep establishes the patterns, it's almost as if we say a pianist who has been playing for decades forgets how to be a pianist without a day of sleep, and then while sleeping he remembers how to be a pianist.

I feel I need a more detailed explanation here.

Apparently something gets depleted from the brain during the day, that we get back during sleep. Maybe it's structural, not chemical, but something gets depleted.
Even if there was some blacklist that all exchanges abided by, you can still use something like Ren Project to put your Bitcoin on Ethereum as renBTC, exchange it to USDC (or any other cryptocurrency) using a decentralized exchange, and withdraw it.

This process is completely decentralized, and AFAIK you can't trace the move from BTC to renBTC.
Im using grafana+influx for my home automation setup. I wanted to use my grafana instance through my regular https endpoint on the internet, and I realized I maybe should upgrade it.

I checked the changelog, and each and very version had massive amounts of changes and I realized I will never be able to simply upgrade this monolith, its not just likely to break but almost guaranteed. I ended up not exposing my old installs and not doing anything...
I am the kind of person who never gets a job unless I am so far apart from the other candidates that taking someone else would make it too obvious that they were basing their decision on "gut feeling" (or like they like to call it now, cultural fit).

The way I found to overcome that was to excel academically and technically, giving me that clear advantage I need... Unfortunately, many companies will only check your basic technical skills and then focus massively on "cultural fit", and to succeed here there's nothing much I can do other than try to show that, yes, I am a social person and I do like to work with other people and so on (things they will never be able to objectively measure). But to really have a good chance here, let's not kid ourselves: being white, male, good looking and from a wealthy background will get you way ahead before you even say a word.

My strategy served me well while I was relatively junior... but now that I am reaching a second decade in the industry, I again don't seem to have a clear advantage that I can objectively prove, and back to square one: getting a good job is a real challenge again.
> Should I pay taxes on that unrealized gain?

Did you read the whole of my comment? Yes, there is a real issue here.

Nobody should be put in the position of having a tax obligation they can't afford. Equally, nothing good is achieved by closely tracking the day-to-day volatility of stocks. But in general I don't think there is a fact of the matter about the kind of "ought" question you are asking in isolation: a tax regime is a system that should be judged as a whole.

> we generally don't tax the mere possession of assets.

Who is "we"? Many countries have wealth taxes.
have a link?

I even do similar for a microblog: https://demo.mro.name/shaarligo - try without JS and look at the source (not the DOM).
AMP is a pretty cool. I have seen mailmodo's mini-apps (that's what they call their interactive elements) in action. They promise 3x conversions which is very obvious as user will be able to take actions inside inbox itself.

I don't think retention is the same as learning either (although it would be pretty depressing to learn without retention).

Learning is gaining the "wisdom" of the material. If all you're doing is rote memorization, you're missing the forest for the trees.

> How do you envision changing incentives and accountability?

I'm writing a piece about that on Thursday actually. TLDR is a mix of paying for corrections (really just "more correct information flow") and maintaining a super readable changelog. Also a different reader premise. We'll try to present stories almost in the form of Wikipedia, if each page were managed by a really engaging writer with a good grasp of the subject, who was being fed high-quality feedback.

> Realistically, they can't address all of it, and yes it's very annoying to be ignored.

I've written about this pretty extensively, and IMO while I'm sympathetic about all the Twitter hate that some of them get, journalism let go of its public editors for a reason. And it's next to impossible to get a staff editor to seriously review anything no matter how you approach. Their whole culture is "ship and move on" at a deep level. And that kinda-maybe made sense in the paper distro days. But it doesn't really serve the reader now compared to what a truly native digital solution could look like.

> I notice the OP article effectively, if not explicitly, sides with Musk (and others) against ProPublica.

I side with him sometimes, and sometimes I don't. And sometimes where I do I still have a lot to criticize. I ultimately just try to call balls and strikes (with the correction policy keeping me honest). But as a rule, I think tech journalism is pretty poisoned against rich entrepreneurs now, and that the major corrective work in the info market is explaining how they're getting misrepresented, and why.
This is the most detailed article that I have seen so far.
Salvadoran here...

I'm kind of losing track of all the changes that have been happening recently here recently.

When most of the country wakes in about five hours, they will wake up with a new law that adds a new legal tender in 90 days.

The most detailed explanation of the plan, has been in a foreign language - English -, in a twitter space this midnight and a Bitcoin conference in Miami last Saturday.
They're going to have a reserve fund of BTC / USD to make exchanging easy, and I'd assume that will have a rate that most merchants use.

Why would they need to sell anything? Just take a salary large enough to cover the wealth taxes. A CEO with a $100M net worth should easily be able to command a salary greater than $1M.

Are you assuming he deducts the entire loss amount from CG taxes? as in if he invests in (and loses) $100 on a portfolio, he can deducts $100 from his CG taxes - rather than a percentage of $100. Assuming tax rate is lower than 50% He loses more than he writes off in taxes, and so can cannot match his losses, only tax on the loss.
Man I am so glad someone is saying this. This was exactly my reaction to this article. ProPublica normally does relatively good work in my experience, but this piece just basically boiled down to: Did you know that you don't have to pay capital gains tax until you sell? And rich people often don't sell for a long time?

I mean, it's a useful facet of our tax regime to understand. And it's an important part of how rich people end up paying a much lower tax rate than others. But the idea that this is some nefarious scheme that they've uncovered by stealing Jeff Bezos's tax returns is....just completely ridiculous. Anyone who understood the US tax system even a little bit should have known that this was exactly what was happening.

From Wikipedia:

> The song has been described as being "all about American decadence and burnout, too much money, corruption, drugs and arrogance; too little humility and heart." It has also been interpreted as an allegory about hedonism, self-destruction, and greed in the music industry of the late 1970s. Henley called it "our interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles", and later said: "It's basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American dream and about excess in America, which is something we knew a lot about."

Hotel California is, of course, not literally a hotel; it's a metaphor for an addictive and entrapping lifestyle, and your legal "right to abode at that location" is a real-world detail that doesn't really matter for the purposes of the metaphor. The singer wants to get out -- by "checking out" he has declared his intentions to leave the hotel, but the point of the song is that wanting to leave is not the same as actually leaving.

It's a bit more obvious if you consider the full verse:

> Mirrors on the ceiling

/ Of our own device"

> And in the master's chambers

> Last thing I remember, I was
/ Running for the door
/ I had to find the passage back

Ok, shoutout Apple for this. But shouldn't they apply their policy intent to themselves too? I can technically use an iPhone without an AppleID, but you need to login to download apps. I would argue installing apps shouldn't require a login.

I prefer PDFs for technical literature. Well, everything with tables and or figures, or side notes that needs to align reasonably with the main content. Most other formats tend to mess up on or more of the above.
I'm still trying to find a way to monitor the Neural Engine on my Macbook air M1, but the APIs are non-existent, there's barely anything in the docs and no answer from Apple. My models train fast, 3x faster than most i7 computers with GPU, which is excellent for a fanless ultraportable computer but I wish Apple would treat the NE as a 1st class citizen on these machines, with Mac SDK APIs and usage visualization in the Activity Monitor.
Not on M1. However as M1 is a chiplet design, it's pieces are stackable like legos (to some degree).

It is then supposed that with enough stacking, apple could get close to a dedicated GPU performance.

However this is speculative.
This is simply incredible, I would love to read something novel-length like this. But unfortunately it also generates a lot of banal text, as in some of the other examples in this thread. I wonder if there is a way to optimize for the weird shit.

Kinda - although CGT is at a much lower rate than employment income, and you can write all sorts of expenses off against it. I mean, I had to go to Mauritius for a week to sell those stocks, and the entertainment bill was huge. Oh and look no tax.

Oh and you can write off unrealised losses against realised gains.

Sigh. Bitcoin BTC, at 3 transactions per second, doesn't have the capacity to support El Salvador's economy. Even if Lightning worked (it doesn't), BTC doesn't have enough capacity to open channels for users at a reasonable cost. Salvadorians will end up forced to use proprietary payment networks denominated in BTC.

BTC is not cash anymore, it won't work as such. There are other cryptos that could work, we'll have to see how broadly 'bitcoin' is interpreted.

The CGT exemption will be of interest to crypto whales and entrepreneurs and may attract some, but organized crime is a concern given the nature of the asset.

The level of low effort negativity on HN these days is just exhausting. Chrome has a stellar track record on security all the way back to the launch, both on an engineering and product level. Why would it be surprising that they're continuing with that?

Malicious extensions are probably the biggest existential threat to the web as a platform. If browser regain the reputation for being insecure that they deservedly had 15 years ago, more and more serious business will move into mobile app walled gardens. This has to be solved.

But rather than accept the simple explanation, we get these inane conspiracy theories on what the true motivation is. No, it's not about ad blockers because the subject of this blog post is not a feature that ad blockers would use. And the same for the half dozen alternative explanations.

Seriously, what is wrong with you people? Can't you at least save the high school level cynicism for situations where an assumption of malice makes some sense?
You have an idea of what's sensical and not. It would seem that long range correlations in the text break down. This is true of all of the popular models, even the trillion parameter ones. They just break down at longer distances.

You don't ever really own anything. The natural state is that some bandit with more guns comes and takes it from you, and if you want to possess something you better be the bigger bandit.

Feudalism and the modern tax-supported state are two approaches to avoiding constant conflict. With feudalism, the king protects your holdings, and in return you owe him military service to support this protection. With a modern nation-state, the state holds a monopoly on physical violence, and you pay taxes to the state so they can maintain a standing army and legal system to enforce your property rights.

Debates over which form of taxation is best are better framed in economic terms rather than moral terms. Which forms of taxation encourage beneficial pro-social behavior and discourage anti-social behavior? There's a good argument that wealth taxes (particularly when taxing natural resources like land, data, the electromagnetic spectrum, CO2 emissions, or pollution) are much more effective at this than income taxes.

If you mods wanted that to stop, you could have just said so, there is so much copypasta going on in this chat that I could have never thought that deserved a 10 minute ban. Reggie is probably a mod in here and he is the one that banned me. Anyway, I'm glad to be back

The algorithms have been resistant, the implementations not so much. We discovered pretty quickly that side channel free implementations are very hard, and thus most attacks have been on implementations and not the algorithms themselves.

And for practical attacks on real world systems, key lifecycle is usually what you want to look at first.
Yup I came here to say the same thing; I'd go further and say it's not just mega rich families but most of the middle class. You got options even with just a little disposable income (ie paying for clubs can unlock a career, for example).

For those from traditionally working class background, differentiating from your peers through grades is essential to unlocking funds that can take you where you want to be.

That's why through the pandemic school grades (in the UK at least) have been so sensitive; they deployed an algorithm last year which probably mostly got it right but also (because it was averages) didn't pluck out those from the poorest backgrounds who would have managed to differentiate themselves.
> Given what's happening with commodity prices and the stock market (ie., inflation)...

There are enormously powerful deflationary forces (debt-to-income overhang, demographics, automation/wage stagnation, globalization, and the pandemic) operating on the global economy, and I'm finding it hard to obtain sufficiently accurate historical data to discern how it all nets out between these deflationary forces and the inflationary tsunami unleashed. Human nature practically predestines that uncontrolled inflation will break out, the question is when.
