The one thing I'd be down is some kind of AMT for billionaires.

The sticky bit is when to force them to recognize capital gains- if a founder is trying to retain a certain control over their company, forcing him/her to sell to pay their taxes seems unfair.

But, otherwise, if billionaires are cashing out, but then diverting money to various foundations/DAFs, require a certain minimum payout in taxes, regardless of deductions, don't let it get to zero regardless.

Now, unlike the frantic assertions in the article, the lack of this isn't suddenly going to fund universal healthcare, but it does restore a sense of basic fairness and stake-holding to the public.

A1 in Austria introduced roaming fees for the UK last month. It’s now cheaper there to roam in Switzerland and the US than the UK which is absurd.
My hair started graying pretty much as soon as I graduated from college. It makes a lot of sense now. Around the same time, I:

- bought a house (in 2007, yeesh)

- got married

- started my first job (which at the time felt like drinking out of a fire hose)

Shortly after, my wife and I went through the stress of trying and failing to get pregnant. Then infertility treatments for several months. Then my wife had surgery. Infertility treatments no longer an option, we turned to adoption. 6 weeks later (seriously), we brought home our first child.

After that, it was like kids fell into our laps every couple of years. After the second child, I struggled with a pretty severe addiction that nearly claimed my marriage. Since then we've adopted two more. We now have kids aged 12, 9, 6 and 4.

Has it been all stress all the time? Not at all. I feel incredibly blessed to be living this life. But the hair (mostly on the sides) hasn't gone back to its normal color either, so I guess either it's genetic or there's an undercurrent of stress I've just become accustomed to.

> The EU has shown again and again they are completely incompetent to make a proper economic market in Europe, or even have semi-consistent regulations across the different borders.

Well yeah, that's because the EU is not a state, and it gets the powers that the member states want to delegate. The alternative would be the loss of sovereignty of the member states; do you think it would be better? Some things are consistent. Some others, when the tradeoff was deemed unacceptable, are not (think VAT and things like that).

This is a common talking point amongst Brexiteers. Either it is tyrannical and draconian, or it is ineffective and impotent. You cannot have both.

Anyway, the point is that it is still much better than if each country were doing its own thing and if we had trade wars within Europe like we used to before the EEC.

My organisation uses Aha (https://www.aha.io/) for all of our products. Personally I like it and I believe it meets both of your requirements.

Regarding 1): it has a structured framework where you define your product vision, then break it down into goals and initiatives, then break the initiatives into features. The dev team further breaks down the work into TFS tickets, and Aha integrates with TFS.

Regarding 2) It does change tracking on everything, so you can view the prior history of any ticket in the system.

Do you really want border controls, roaming charges, local currencies back? Sure, there are things the EU does terribly bad, but overall, I think it's a net positive.

I'm born in 1990, so I don't remember the time before the EU, but I've lived in five different EU/EEA countries with very limited bureaucracy. I can't imagine how difficult that would have been before.
And social media, don't forget that.

Both are an acute cancer to society.

No, I'm not in favour of abolishing the police. Let me preface with saying that I'm not American, nor I live in the US, also, so this doesn't affect me.

Once again, I'm not in favour of abolishing the police. As I said in my previous message, I'm in favour of reducing the expense on police and instead investing it on social programs.

As I'm not in favour of abolishing, I won't argue your second point.

Yes, given the dimensionality of the input is at least the dimensionality of the hash value, location-sensitive hashing is always a dimensionality reduction operation.

Conversely, any dimensionality-reducing technique with a fixed number of finite range output dimensions can be used for location-sensitive hashing as long as a couple of extra constraints hold: (1) nearby inputs (given an appropriate distance metric) will produce nearby outputs (given a second appropriate distance metric), and (2) far-apart inputs are likely to produce far-apart outputs.
Pre- “EU” (except it wasn’t called the EU then) it took over 200 distinct endorsements (in those days they took the form of actual pieces of paper) to transport a 40ft cargo container by road from England to Italy.

Today we’re back up to 16.

It seems to be caused by multitude of various factors of which toxoplasmosis is not especially prominent one.

Given that in some countries double digit percentage of people has toxoplasmosis antibodies and since posterior uveitis is a rare disease it doesn't seem to be common effect of toxoplasmosis.

> to a degree that peoples existance depends on it

That's because for many, it actually does. If "project fear" turns out to be right, a lot of people will get poor - and more importantly, they will have to admit that they were wrong, which is absolutely unconceivable and shameful in the pub-culture shouting match that political debate has turned into after the '80s.
I'm not sure in what conceivable way this could be considered gaslighting.

Donations to charity need not be altruistic to be good for society. Sometimes charitable organizations support causes that you don't just as the government often pumps money into things you disagree with. The difference of course is that one has a choice in the matter when they're making charitable donations while at most you have an extremely indirect say of how your taxes are spent (through electing public officials).

Charitable donations are also not only for the rich. Everyone is eligible to make charitable donations (and they should!) to organizations of their choice and that donation is tax deductible for schmucks like me just like it is for Jeff Bezos.

>Then they can show their mechanic's license.

Scrapyards already need licenses (permits). Adding licensing requirements will just result in the people with licenses buying from the thiefs. It's just another middleman in the chain.

If anything it makes the problem worse because scrapyards often do turn away obvious thieves. A mechanic showing up with ten legit converters and forty stolen ones he bought off the thief gives the scrapyard plausible deniability. Furthermore it moves the illicit transaction outside of a legit commercial establishment and to wherever the thief and the mechanic care to meet.

It's already acknowledged that without enforcement against the people who are actually cutting the cats off regulatory requirements just displace the problem and shift the profit around.

Being a mechanic doesn't require a license although running the commercial establishment generally has some permitting requirements.
Other than this the only useful shelter are those who no one knows about. If it really comes to it it will be a free for all.

I say this trying to be measured: you are NEVER going to get a reasonable discussion about Brexit on HackerNews, despite all the excellent qualities of this website.

The vast majoriry of people here experienced the benefits of EU "globalisation" without any of the downsides. And when you are enjoying the benefits of a system, it's really quite difficult to see those who are not.
Obvious one is the lack of a unified currency, many member states don't use the Euro. It's hard to think of Europe as a unified entity with a dozen different currencies at play.
I've ordered stuff from the UK, even though I was told I won't be able to. I can go back to live there with little problem if I want despite being told otherwise. They did so much better at vaccinating because the EU didn't screw things for them like for all the member nations etc.

Maybe it will get worse but the anti-brexit campaigns at the time painted a much much more negative picture than what I am seeing.
It's rather hard to tell because the pandemic has been such a confounding event; the UK did fairly badly on infection control but well on vaccine rollout. But it's still too early to do a "final" toll of the costs.

Things like roaming charges are much less significant than travel restrictions and quarantine requirements; travel and tourism has fallen off a cliff, so we can't separate out the Brexit impact.

We've another critical Brexit event coming up in the form of the end of the settled status transition period.
how is adoption? Did you do domestically or international? Any sage advice?

I personally rather adopt than have my own kids so I'm just curious.
Very cool, had no idea!
A bright spot of Brexit is that the UK negotiated a much more successful vaccine acquisition program, which spared them from a lot of Covid deaths.
Among the rest this means mainald China also depends on importing Taiwan-produced chips (and probably wouldn't want to disrupt their supply) doesn't it?
But also a much higher vaccination rate. Probably a few thousands more of your compatriots would have died had you followed the EU vaccination program, don't forget that.
Sadly not. I looked myself in all over Europe, since I like free time even more than money. I am sure some must exist, but I didn't find a single one. Some companies had "job sharing" opportunities, I don't know what that entails and what conditions apply. It wouldn't have been for me, but maybe you could use something like that?

Being self-employed is often much work, even at weekends. But I know some people, especially those in webdev, that did manage to reduce their time spend working a lot. Not at first though.
Not sure, the people I know they get to do construction outside and have a very defined work/non-work schedule don’t necessarily hate their job.

Quality of life wise, what really matters is how secure you feel in regards to family life.

For example, one might likely rather be a ditch digger in Manhattan then a doctor in Brazil that has to live with the daily threat of kidnappings.

Doing Anomaly Detection on Large Amounts of Data in Real-Time
One troubling re-identification attack for medical data is the trail re-identification method [0]. A lot of privacy analysis will consider the data to be in the shape of a table T with some columns A,B,C and use the notation T<A,B,C> to describe a de-identified dataset. The trail method will take multiple de-identified datasets, each from a different hospital, T_1<A,B,C> T_2<B,C,D>, T_3<C,D,E> and use their shared columns to narrow down on a set of individuals.

So, even though each hospital may have a legitimately de-identified dataset in isolation, it is not de-identified when combined with the (also de-identified) data from another hospital. The risk of this attack increases as patients visit more hospitals. We humans are fairly long-lived and tend to move around so it may be substantial. (That being said some hospital systems are quite large like Kaiser Permanente and serve huge areas so visiting multiple hospitals doesn't necessarily create multiple tables.)

As far as heart health goes, moderate amounts of caffeine only effects you temporarily.

Cost is a big one because the external costs of plastics are not priced in. Plastic stuff is so cheap that people buy it for nothing more than a brief chuckle before disposing of it (see "secret santa" gifts, party stuff etc.)

Taxing it appropriately is hard. I've often thought about a simple blanket markup per piece of tat, raising the price of said piece of tat from amusing chuckle to stupid waste of money. But how do you distinguish a piece of tat from medical supplies, for example? I don't think anyone dare suggest taxing all plastic products.
That's too bad. I love my AirPods so much. I run with them, bike with them, work out with them, and I've never had one fall out (classic, not pro). Obviously one-size-fits-all doesn't always work out though.
> YAGNI isn’t a rule, it’s a dismissal. A dodge. A cop-out.

Only when the abstractions proposed actually have a pragmatic use. As developers, for a lot of us, the immediate instinctual reaction is "add another layer of indirection". Each of these makes the software more complex, adds cognitive load and increases tech debt, making it a risky proposal.

Those risks are often glossed over for purely philosophical benefits and - for lack of a better term - personal taste. Maybe you don't actually need factories, strategy patterns or even DI just because the Gang of Four book mentions it. Maybe worry about problems when they occur, not because the might occur.

YAGNI is just a concrete implementation of KISS. I prefer the approach it proposes: question everything, say yes only when it makes sense. That is what YAGNI symbolises and reduces use cases, scope, feature creep and abstraction creep. For most companies, code isn't what's sold and merely enables (parts of) the business. What matters is whether it's fit for purpose, not whether it smells nice.
That is incredibly brave of you to share that and overcome all that. I had a similar time of buying our first house, starting a new job, having a baby and then losing a parent all within a space of 3-4 months just before the pandemic lockdown started. I lost a lot of my hair instead and now have a bald spot. Also lot of junk food and alcohol. Somehow I would have liked to keep my hair even if it turned gray :)
I was lucky enough to spend the first 10 years of my career working abroad for 90% of the time, with zero hassle with visas etc. It's a shame that this sort of thing will be a complete and utter nightmare now.
I've yet to see an explanation of how this would have been impossible while in the EU. UK medical approval is through NICE, and purchasing through the NHS (and devolved NHS organisations!)
The fair use policy seems fine. That's what I get (25GB + unlimited voice/text) for roaming in the EU/UK/US/AUS with my French subscription.
I went back to see what changes I made to my local checkout. It seems I never made as far as to implementing subpixel rendering. I think I experimented with subpixel stuff on some other medium (maybe used GIMP to do the shifting manually, I forgot). So there may still be some hope.

On the other hand, regarding the kerning problem, there's not much you can do with the current one bitmap per glyph approach. One idea is to create multiple subpixel offset versions of the glyph. It'll cost more memory though. And the offset version of the bitmap may need to have its leftmost or rightmost column overlap the neighbouring glyph, and I'm not sure if the renderer supports gray level addition or if it would just overwrite the existing column from the previous neighbour.

As for Freetype supported fonts, there is an API for enabling subpixel rendering which you can call right before rendering the glyph. I've never experimented with it.

By the way, there is already a bug report created for this: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45629

It doesn’t work because the data can be correlated against other sets of data.

When my wife almost died from an ectopic pregnancy, Enfamil was confident enough of the would-be due date based on data pieces together by a broker to FedEx us a box of formula on the due date.

Third parties get a real time feed of insurance claims, hospital admissions, prescriptions and other data. They put the puzzle together and make an assertion of valuable diagnoses. (Pregnancy, diabetes, etc)

They don’t need to be 100% accurate. The collateral damage of reminding someone who lost a child and nearly lost their life doesn’t have a cost to them.
