Hosting and domain registration are separate things. You can own a personal domain name (a few dollars a year) but use that for hosting pages for free on any number of sites. GitHub allows custom domains on GitHub Pages, for example. Or WordPress.com. You can add a custom domain to GMail too. Or you can pay a few dollars a month for a cloud web server and host your own site.
Its not that I want to completely avoid them. Its that tax laws of many countries are poorly written (or applied) and not doing optimization is financial suicide.

Consider tax sheltered accounts (TFSA-RRSP in Canada, 401k in the US). Many people do not understand how they work or even what they are ; a lot of stranger tell me they ''purchased RRSP at their bank last month''.

Also consider the case of freelance consultant. If you are your own business, you must understand what is tax deductible, and what is not.

Finally, different countries have different fiscal law regarding property. A lot of people in Canada invest in real estate because they do not have an easy access to financial markets. Here, capital gains of non primary residence is not tax deductible... oops.

You get the point. The is not financial planning without tax planning. From a dev point of view, consider the fiscal laws of a country like COBOL legacy code. Do not assume it will work as intended.
> I got to know somewhere that something I’m interested in buying exists.

I even have a problem with that. It's hard to put into words — I'm put off even by the idea that I am to be treated as a consumer. I am even slightly embarrassed when I consume a non-necessity.

I don't like door-to-door salespersons. It's not because they are pushy that I dislike them but because they are unbidden. An unsolicited ad is a door-to-door salesperson — even if it is for a thing I wanted.

When I want something, I feel I should be the one to act to seek the thing out. The truth is, I likely consume more than I should and prefer that there be friction.

I've seen someone bring their own bags to the grocery store like four or five times since the bag ban got implemented here in LA County. Everyone just gets the thicker plastic "reusable" bags and treats them as disposable. Honestly I think it has made things worse when it comes to the amount of plastic use.
If you are immunocompromised. Even though vaccinated. You could still catch the virus and be seriously impacted by it for example. The vaccine is not a guaranteed 100% protection for a healthy young person. And the weaker you are, the worse are the odds.

And then you have the possiblity of mutations. The longueur the virus is on circulation. The more likely it is to mutate with worse outcome.
I am curious what edge cases (i.e. "non-trivial" things) you have in mind that this would not work for.

For us, the more complex the business gets, the more justified this path becomes. Our business fails to scale if we have to write custom code for every customer. Writing custom SQL per customer (against a common schema) is far more tenable.

Are you thinking of some specific logical determination that would be infeasible in SQL vs in code? Or, is this more about webscale arguments?
IMO Most of the "unvaccinated" are that way because they've already had covid and would rather be part of the control group for this large experiment. I just don't buy articles like this for the reason you stated.
4. You already have had COVID-19 and feel the added (minor) protection by 1-2 vaccine shots gets you into more cons than pros.
I've had weird issues with some applications and NFS on macOS (notably, Final Cut Pro X and Photoshop). And I've also had weird issues with SMB and some apps (notably, Photoshop again!).

But at least SMB has been pretty stable for years. NFS support has had some hiccups. A few 10.14 macOS releases broke NFSv3 and NFSv4 for me, but it was fixed in later releases.

Higher or lower than the chance of hospitalization for women of childbearing age for covid-19? Many people suspect that the answer to this question is "we don't really know". But public health agencies are trying to boost vaccination rates, period. So they say "just get the vax". It's getting exhausting trying to parse out the truth from the various "noble lies".

This leads many people who already mistrust "the system" to tune out future guidance and legitimate information. Black Americans, and Republicans, for example.
Do we have data on 5, 10 years after usage? I'm fairly certain that there won't be anything either (based on what experts have said), but we should withhold making assertions without data to back it up, right?

If the hospitals and emergency centers are full with covid patients, and you have a non-covid emergency, you're fucked.

Imagine trying to get to the hospital and facing lines like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kbNGR7XjrY

The government or the insurance providers are paying for covid care, so it's coming out of your tax money or increasing health insurance premiums for everyone.

You're taking doctors and nurses for granted. Health care providers are burning out faster due to long shifts caused by an overload of covid patients and are quitting. This increases health care costs for everyone and reduces availability.

People having long term health issues decreases productivity, a lot more people might be disabled and file for disability benefits which come out of taxes.

People's quality of life is reduced when their friends and family die.

Still haven't gotten vaccinated and need to know where to go?

https://www.vaccines.gov/
Easy. Just don’t go to Starbucks and drink your espresso at home in a cup.
I have just over 6 years in the industry and in my current job, my initial total comp was $500+k start. That was 190k salary, 60k signing, $300k stock with a 4-year vesting schedule, 25/25/25/25. My actual take home per year is constantly growing and is well in excess of $300k every year I've been with the company.

So if I understand your point, I agree that the total comp numbers are a bit weird considering how the compensation is structured and a lot of refresh grants do not ever equal your initial grant, but the ability to bring home over $300k, $400k, $500k is not that difficult if you work at Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Netflix, etc.

The key to this is to change companies every so often and in doing so, seek higher positions (promote in transition). These 2 things combined easily push your salary up.

That said, I'm at a point in my compensation that I don't really care about extra money (it's nice, don't get me wrong, but outside of spending some additional money on my hobby's, it mostly will just get saved) and this is really empowering because now I am looking for positions that I feel will be rewarding in terms of the project instead of just looking to grow my compensation further.
> What's the harm in letting unvaccinated people spread covid amongst themselves? Vaccinated people aren't at risk.

Plenty of risks.

1) You are giving a chance for spreading a vaccine resistant strain. Every time a vaccinated person is exposed to the virus, most likely the immune system would take care of it however there’s a risk that it would contain a vaccine resistant mutation and will spread among vaccinated, creating a vaccine resistant strain.

2) Vaccine protection is not %100, which means people are still at risk, therefore cannot ease measures

3) R0 would be lower in vaccinated groups, meaning a slower spread or complete end of the spread. In mixed groups R0 would be higher which means prolonged or never ending spread.

Similar thing in Austin, TX. City banned single use plastic bags, so HEB (the largest grocer) introduced durable reusable plastic bags to purchase. Unsurprisingly, people ate the cost, treated them like single use bags, and now we have an even worse waste problem.

Is aluminum recycling actually valuable to society, or is it only valuable due to the deposit?
I remember when the bakery chain popular here (Baker Square) had a 25 cent credit on every aluminum pie tray. The value was stamped into it so everyone knew it had cash value to return.
Paying less in taxes doesn't have to be nefarious.

When you put money into a 401K you're shielding income from taxation. A 401K is an explicit tradeoff the government has created; individuals saving more today will hopefully translate into less reliance on the safety net in the future.
As others have pointed out, I don't know any company outside of Amazon that does this. Complete outlier IMO.
I fully agree about the need for regulation, especially because it matters more in other commodity industries (farming, food, construction, etc.) much more than it does in computer graphics.

There wasn’t a noticeable reduction in my own quality of life, but that’s not to say others didn’t feel it, nor that it wouldn’t have happened left unchecked, I don’t know.

Once after a movie’s crunch time, I wanted to trade my accumulated overtime bonus for comp time (time off) instead. The studio refused, and I was initially upset but then discovered that in California it was illegal for them to agree to it. The reason is that labor jobs in the past had abused comp time by rewarding employees who were working too much with forced time off in which they weren’t getting paid. This would be awful for farm workers or any labor job, really, and more damaging the lower the pay. I’m happy this law is protecting them even when I didn’t want it applied to me.

Agreed. This kind of "journalism" is sheer garbage, whether it's supporting your viewpoint or not, and probably poses a more serious risk to the country than Covid ever will.

And reminds me of how Oracle brushed all complexity from the word "filter" and simply went and named the function as is.
A Filter implies a flow direction, it also implies two segments, the desired and the unwanted portion of the filtering operation.
Which one is the one staying? which is the one that passes through?

I've seen people argue that one side should be called "sieved" while others say it should be named "selected"... to add to this , let's add even more complexity, since "selected" implies agency.. while filter performs a passive _selection_, in which case it should not be considered a selection at all.

It seems easy, but in reality some concepts (If not all) are inherently messy, specially on the English language since it seems the most abstract of all languages.

We've had mandatory vaccinations for over a century, certainly since Roe V. Wade, and yet abortion is still legal.

Half the US believes abortion is murder and a sin against God and yet as far as I know, never has anyone tried to use the existence of vaccination laws as a pretext for making abortion illegal. That wouldn't even make sense.

That seems weird, to me. To see it so little, I lived in GA from 2010-2020 and there was no bag ban. I saw way more reusable bags than just four or five times over the last 5 years I was there (about the same time as the bag ban has been in effect in CA). And this was going to the bog standard grocery stores, nothing fancy.
As terrible and backward as this sounds, I wonder if who wants to take the spot next needs to clean up after the first person. Given the limited number of available slots for certain orbits like geosync, it might make sense to send something else up to push the previous satellite out to the dead orbit (if it failed to get there itself). In this way you're kind of more buying the "land" and have to demolish the previous house.

It's not just kids...

All the young people have given away a year of their lives to "save grandma"... and now, the government wants them to give up another year, because few grandmas don't want to get vaccinated.

Since the vaccines are available to everyone, and enough time has passed, that everyone has had the chance to get vaccinated, then i have no moral issues if a few people die, because they took the risk, and lost the statistics game.
1. Many people aren’t or can’t get vaccinated, including kids under 12 or the immuno-compromised.

2. Constant infection causes more mutation of the virus and possible escape vaccine capture.

3. Infections overwhelm public health systems causing issues for people with non Covid health emergencies

4. While it’s very unlikely, you still increase the number of vaccinated people hospitalized for Covid
$35k a year is a lot if you don't have any income - at a 4% withdrawal rate that requires an additional $875k in savings to cover, and at most incomes it takes many years to save up that much (plus obviously all the years you work to save 1.5M for your $60k/year or whatever in living expenses).

There is also the fact of a 10% or however much copay, which will be a lot over time if you get a chronic illness (which would also reduce your ability to go back to work).

Additionally, most people expect healthcare costs to rise with age, so will want a buffer on top of what healthcare currently costs to cover future bigger expenses.

Misaligned incentives are certainly part of the problem, but this article points to it being more than just that - even if you want to run a good study, it is incredibly difficult to do so.

I have spent a bunch of time on that site and read Dr. Greger's book "How Not to Die". He certainly works hard to understand how studies could be flawed, but he is still limited by the fact that really good underlying studies are hard to come by.

A few things stood out to me reading that book:

1) So, so many studies are hopelessly flawed.

2) Even ones that seem relatively good often have other studies showing the opposite result.

3) The evidence for a plant-based diet seemed fairly overwhelming, but some of the specific recommendations felt more questionable.

4) If you combine all of the claimed increases/decreases in disease risk for a given set of foods, you can fairly quickly get to a ridiculous result where you have something like a 1 in a billion chance of getting a relatively common ailment or are almost guaranteed to get 3 different cancers tomorrow.

A senior dev in London makes 60-80K, so it’s almost the same without cost of life adjustments. Outside of London, economy-wise, you are likely to find places more similar to eastern Europe than to Bavaria.

80K€ in Munich is a good salary, considering that you don’t have to pay for private healthcare (in the UK you have to), education is free (in the UK it costs a fortune, either in private school fees or in housing premia) and rents are much much lower than in London (for equivalent properties).

Taxes are higher in Germany, but not extremely so if you account for child deductions and family support. A family of 2 in London making 80K per annum, will spend ~20K to send a child to a random nursery, 5-6K£ in healthcare and 2K£ in public transport (just to name the first 3 thing that come to mind), and will be much poorer than a German family making 50K€ per annum.
Depends on the material, really. Switch to multi-stream recycling and reclaim the material as well as possible on a per-stream basis - that's what happens in Sweden, afaik.
It's certainly a step up from plastic. (Here in NY, both aluminum and plastic have the $0.05 deposit, incidentally.)

https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/12/20862775/aluminum-recycli...

> The Aluminum Association, an industry group, says that almost 75 percent of all the aluminum ever produced to date is still in use today.

> Recycling aluminum saves about 90 percent of the energy it takes to make new aluminum, which is great since mining bauxite ore and turning it into aluminum is pretty environmentally destructive and energy-intensive. It takes about twice as much energy to produce new aluminum as it does to produce new plastic.

Death is not inevitable, and there is such thing as agency / locus-of-control

Not reducing actual harm, suffering, and deaths where possible is immoral. Inconveniences are the lesser evil.

We don't give people the option to opt-out of polio, mumps, rubella, etc. because their "opinion" would affect others. (Antivaxx BS exceptions notwithstanding, which led to numerous outbreaks in private boarding schools.) It's not the same as pregnancy. Informed consent doesn't work in this instance because too many people are stupid and pose liabilities to others without vaccination; informed compliance is the safer course for public health in a pandemic emergency. This is how it would've been done in the 1940's but now people are too ignorant, unreasonable, and noncompliant to be trusted to do what's essential to address a common threat. They can argue about "freedumbs" and "tyranny" after their shots.
> probably poses a more serious risk to the country than Covid ever will

"Person angry about 600,000 deaths a bigger risk to country than thing that caused 600,000 deaths" is a pretty bold claim.
Absolutely, just about every liberal media source, scientific establishment, and politician did with no proof or data. That's exactly what they always do.

They pretend to be open, they pretend to believe in science, but they just lie and push an agenda and that's all they do.

I'm very pro vaccine, so pro vaccine I've gotten vaccines most people have never heard of, but the reality is, EVERY medical professional that claims the vaccine is safe is a liar and the doctors are violating their Hippocratic oath. We don't know the long term side effects, so they should instead say "From the data we have, short term side effects are minimal, BUT we have no idea what the long term side effects are." That would be the honest answer. They should still recommend it for most people, but they should be honest. They like many people are brainwashed by the drug companies and act like they are on their payroll.
