> No one liked how any of this worked, but just accepted it as a fact of life, like how you would accept that it really sucks that it rains today. That’s an attitude I’ve seen more often and never really understood: if I see something that’s really awkward, frustrating, and time-consuming then I want to fix it, but a lot of people seem happy to just and accept it.

Yeah and the same goes the other way too. Don't be surprised if the heavily bearded middle eastern guy won't invest with men who they think look like women or who have made known their opinions about grooming. Don't be surprised if you don't get invited to parties or if the guy working on your car or skippering your boat screws you for being a stiff.

Everything does come with trade-offs. That's correct.

Being well-traveled is a cure for bigotry though. Realizing that you're in a bubble is the first step.

This is a bit of a tangent, but is there a way to get low-level access to an Android phone's radio without installing Android? I have an old OnePlus One and I'd really like to use it as an SDR for weekend projects. Ideally, I'd have it run some sort of minimal linux installation. If such a thing exists, I'm betting someone on HN knows about it.

Most software engineers or equivalent workers could retire right now or within a few years with their savings if they kept their expenses at what basic income would give. Yet basically none of them do it, why?

Thanks for sharing your experience. One reason I asked this question is because I have recently noticed a pattern: a lot of people on Twitter are Tweeting to reach out to businesses. They do this by tweeting at companies which have a @support Twitter account. These users have a lot of different queries: discount code not working, delivery status of their product, not being able to tip their Uber driver etc. I found this to be interesting because when we generally talk about customer service it's usually through email, using a CRM app like Intercom, or calling their phone number, not over social media.
I'll admit, I read it as income. But it does make me start to think about the disparities in how wealth is generated across different classes of Americans. For me, wealth is almost 100% generated by my income, so I would say my income tax is basically a wealth tax.
Sure. But what good is changing human behavior if we're not changing it in the way it should be?

The West seems to target a "skeleton" staff for nearly everything these days. Management theory piles it as a best practice under "just in time delivery", but the reality is that there no longer is the distinction between fully staffed and skeleton.

I spent some time in Belgium a few years ago and was amazed to see that the two people on road projects who turn the "slow/stop" signs to control traffic on single-lanes were replaced with robots. So the EU has managed to figure out how to go under skeleton at least.

Meanwhile, when I was in Japan, there were indeed lots of seemingly "useless" people doing "useless" jobs on similar sized projects.

I'm a little baffled why there have been all these articles of this category recently. It's not news that you don't pay taxes on invested assets you hold and don't sell. That's how it works for everyone who invests their savings. This isn't a 'tax-avoidance' tactic - it's just what owning something is. Are we really advocating for a world where you are taxed just for appreciation? Maybe we are but at least be honest about it - that this would be a radical change from the current concept of ownership.

I'm all for taxing the wealthy more, but I personally don't want to pay taxes yearly on an index fund I've held for 10 years and don't plan to sell until I retire, at which point I will pay taxes on the gains.

This isn't a hill I care about dying on- I can easily be convinced to replace one word with another in any language.

But it sounds like "as someone with mental health problems" acknowledges that "insane" = "perception/processing/reasoning problems", and that "sane" = "no perception/processing/reasoning problems", therefore the word makes sense.

It sounds like all sides already agree on what "sanity check" means. If people want to get together and replace it, that's fine.
You could calculate your income tax to wealth ratio though right?

The reason it’s important is that these executives are not paid “income”. Their wealth increases because it’s largely in shares of their companies and then they use non (or low) taxable events to get cash to buy their stuff.

This sort of activity is not available to people whose only source of cash is income.

I’m not sure it’s worth the unintended consequences of changing the tax laws to change this but it’s not poor journalism to point it out and start the conversation.

Edit: I just calculated mine and depending on how you value my home it’s between 5-9% for 2020.

First of all, it's a branch of Indo-European mythology, as are the Greek, Roman, and Hindu pantheons. So it has existed in some form for thousands of years. But "Norse mythology" as we know it was mostly written down in the 13th century - so 700+ years ago.
I won’t lie, I keep using commits as the equivalent to saving, and hence have many commits on my GitHub Profile (2,000 in the last year - many for me, I guess some have much more).

At some point I got addicted to the number, so from time to time I try to manually increase my frequency of commits.

All that said, I end up doing more commits when working on front end stuff, when I doing back end programming, I am not at all interested in saving / committing frequently as I’m focused on the task at hand. With front end stuff, you necessarily need to save and refresh the webpage in your development browser, so it goes hand in hand with increasing my commits :-)

"Real-time Rendering" by Akenine-Tomas Möller et all is one of the standard references here.

https://www.amazon.com/Real-Time-Rendering-Fourth-Tomas-Aken...

Peter Shirley's free Ray Tracing series is incredibly good as well:
https://raytracing.github.io/books/RayTracingInOneWeekend.ht...

And the outstanding piece in rendering is the Physically Based Rendering book by Pharr et all (which won an Oscar): https://www.pbrt.org/

None of those are math references as such, but the thing is with graphics it's not based on first principles (well, ray tracing is kinda getting there but still has lots of artistic stuff rather than science stuff), but rather on a bag of tricks. And the math without the "bag of tricks" context may not be that clear.

I agree, that it's the same algorithm as long as it x is real. My point was that with this optimisation we give more information to this function than the comparable python function (or the other julia implementations), so it gains an advantage for optimising.

Yes I was using complex inputs when switching to to cis/exp. LoopVectorization not supporting complex does explain this.

As a side note, I generally dislike silent fall-backs, for optimisation libraries/modules. That's why I always do python=False when using numba (and I wish it was default). I'm using the library/module because I want speed up, the problem with the fall-backs is they are often slower than the default code (e.g. unwrapped loops in numba, and in this example), so I would like to know if it doesn't speed up the code, because rather not use it then. A failure would save me benchmarking the slow-down.

> I don't think this is system programming rather network programming.

This is probably why you are getting downvoted. Squabling about semantics / gatekeeping what counts as systems-programming isn't useful. It probably doesn't answer OPs question, and it is rather rude to assume that what OP meant by "systems programming" is wrong just because it is different from what you mean by "systems programming".

edit: maybe it was your dead comment that caused the downvotes.

Unless, of course, we’re talking about the only meaningful asset an average person might own -their house- then we tax its assessed value every year.

Agreed. My favorite breakdown of this view is from David Mitchell [1] I am not sure what would happen economically if we started taxing all assets, non-income, etc... How much should people pay yearly on wedding rings, gold teeth, clothes, music collections? Would we have to itemize all possessions and have them assessed?

I think it is something of an exaggeration to say that the scope of attack has been reduced to "you must own a fab". At best, it is the scope of the bootstrap problem that has been reduced, but there is still the problem of securing and verifying all the source code for the software you are going to need to do something useful (including, but by no means limited to, the toolchain and the operating system which hosts it.)

Solving the hardest problem (or what appears to be it) does not mean that everything else is tractable. In this case, the sheer size of the problem means that it is beyond the scope of one person [1], so the problem becomes one of who you trust, not what you trust.

I think we all knew it was going to come down to this; how does bootstrap.org deal with it?

[1] I'm putting aside the problem of verifying the design of what the fab makes, of the fab itself, and the trustworthiness of the people building and operating it, which is, as you suggest, 'just' another heap of turtles.

The thing that bothers me is the presumption of laziness. There are plenty of people who are willing to work long and hard, yet are disenchanted with the exploitative nature of work as it stands today. Just think of all of the people who would like to start their own businesses or work for themselves[0], yet cannot afford to do so or cannot afford to absorb the risk.

Part of the reason may be the implicit lessons we receive from a very young age. We must always be cautious of people who try to take advantage of us. It is a valuable less, because it is true, yet we seem to take it the wrong way. Rather than dealing with the criminal, the people who would defraud us, we treat everyone as criminal.

[0] There is a particular group of peoples in my country who are often portrayed as being lazy or exploiting the system. In many, if not most, cases this prejudice is just plain wrong. Since many of those people live outside of the system, they perform types of work that many of us would not even consider: hunting for their own food (and everything that involves), cutting their own fuel wood, hauling their own garbage to the dump, and much more. None of that work involves a paycheck, so it doesn't count. That attitude is just plain wrong. (Not to mention the other problems with prejudices, such as it discounting those who do function within the rest of western society.)
From my point of view, it is poor journalism to use a clickbait headline ($13.6 billion is not little-to-nothing) and misleading presentation of data (incomes taxes of X on wealth of Y).

It's also lazy journalism as it just piggy-backs on top of the illegally-obtained IRS data from ProPublica, and produces all of its quotes from Twitter or other news media sources.

Why is saltwater such a hypothetical problem for them? How are ocean-going fish and shrimp "fresh water"? Those are going to be saltwater too.

It appears that this change was not done "just to signal virtue", and that the internal evaluation at Twitter concluded was enough to justify the cost, according to the thread starting at:

Docker and go work fine together but using docker for go dev is just an unnecessary hassle, especially if (like me) you’re doing dev in MacOS - you have to cross compile to Linux which is slower, and then build and deploy the container - versus the very quick compile-run cycle of regular Go.

As a reformed Java developer I can say that docker didn’t add much time to the build cycle and gave us a better way to package resources for Java code, but Go is far more ergonomic, so taking a <2 second compile time for a small microservice and adding docker to turn it into a 30 second build time just isn’t worth whatever utility you get from containers at dev time.

Basically the same reason it is for humans – it puts a lot of strain on their kidneys. I believe that cetaceans are thought to be able to drink seawater as a last resort, but get most of their water from eating fish. The fish don't have the same salt content as the water that they swim in.
