37% federal, 13.3% california = 50.3

Most wealthy people spend another 1-2% of their income on property taxes and a bit on sales taxes, etc. I estimate I pay 53% of my income to taxes. I agree that 55% is unlikely tho

How is it owed to other countries?
Clearly not directly, but if you fold in non-tax payments that are commonly paid for with taxes in other countries, or taxes paid by your employer for the privilege of having you on their payroll, then maybe it is close to 55%? Income tax, social security, medicare, your personal healthcare, payroll taxes, sales tax, etc.
> But so what, what is the end game here?

Police obviously love this data, and when its being traded in open market it is sold without a warrant. Laws change, if your a minority or in an oppressive country, data is scary.

In real terms for most white americans who don't break laws, the "slippery slope" (or shifting baseline) is already getting bad for end users. ..

I interviewed for a job at an insurance company. They said they offer a car plug in that tracks your car (to know if you're risky driver) to "offer discounts on good driving". They said in interview (not publicly) about 4% of people get discounts and the rest stay the same or go up. They gets tons of data on how people drive to tune their models. They also said that some neighborhoods are now considered more dangerous because they saw other drivers in their data being dangerous. Basically you now pay more because they know you live near other bad drivers, or bad drivers go to the grocery store near you, or whatever.

They also said (in 2018) they are working on an app to show you an id card (and track you in your car if you don't want their dongle). They're very interested in data on where you go and how you use your car, for obvious reasons.

I don't know if they do this, but they could easily buy data on where you shop to determine if the path from your home to the store has dangerous intersections that might raise your premiums. That is an easy use for grocery store data that will have clear downsides to most people.
I don't understand something. Please, help me understand:

"According to the lawsuit, filed Thursday in California federal court, the plaintiffs alleged that Plaid has “exploited its position as middleman” to obtain app users’ banking login credentials and use that information to gain access to and sell their transaction histories. Allegedly, these actions occurred without users knowing about Plaid’s role is a variance of “deceptive tactics.”"

So, the lawsuit is for selling the transaction histories and you say you never did it.

Why do you settle for $58M if you never did it rather than go to court so that they present proofs that, according to your explanation, must be false?

I am not convinced.

Or, the simpler explanation you just lie here to us because you can. But you settle to not go to court because you know you can't lie yourself out of loosing.
Create a system where ignorance of the laws of large numbers means that you go bankrupt and have to work for someone else, thus putting the number-crunchers in charge.

This is basically modern capitalism. It works, as a way of managing large numbers. Most people hate it, though, because it has a tendency of reducing humans to numbers.
Playing devil's advocate because I don't think cost is the main reason we don't have universal healthcare in the US:

Bernie Sanders (who is probably the most pro-universal healthcare politician in the US so his numbers might be on the low side) estimated that Medicare For All would cost $3-4 trillion per year.

The war in Afghanistan was about 10x cheaper per year.
`nobody is going to be lending the US money if we don’t pay our debt,`

1) The Fed can loan money by simply creating new dollars and purchasing treasury bills. This has been happening for a long time, T-Bills do first get offered to private institutions but the Fed backstops all auctions.

2) There is literally no way for the US Gov to go involuntarily bankcrupt because of 1). It is the sole manufacturer of US dollars and can always create more.

Discretionary income for a lot of families is — functionally — zero. The result is that any sort of financial issue becomes a devastating (possibly lifelong) burden. Most of these issues are single-occurrence and probably fall in the 200–500$ range. A 1000$ a year UBI would be life-changing for them.

And by "them" I mean, like, 50% of the country.

I'm in Texas, and the maximum amount of cash assistance possible — married parents, multiple kids, demonstrated need, is something like 83$ a month; I think, once?
$1000 per person is a big deal, and would cover rent or mortgage costs for most of the people I know. Though honestly, a lot my family members would squander it on things like new cars or electronics instead of paying off debt or investing for retirement..
I agree with you on those four key factors.

Motivation is difficult but if I have structured plans and start small, then motivation can build as I make small amounts of progress.

I found motivation doesn't have to be there to start, it can be created as long as we see a task/milestone that is not impossible (assuming the end goal still aligns with our objective/future outlook).

We can become re-motivated by taking a break, visualising the end goal or exploring our feelings that brought motivation early on and try revisit / recreate these.

Focus / Energy is a bit more difficult. On days where I have tiredness, fog or bad focus, it doesn't always clear up if I get started and push on. I have the knowledge in my head but the connections are not quite firing, an opaque feeling, recall is bad, reading is harder, progress is slow, motivation does not come.
You list pages but fail to mention which models these are for. Do automakers issue manuals for advanced driving assistance systems?
The dominant purchasing model in Europe and the UK is to go to the dealership, choose the vehicle and options, place an order, and then wait some number of weeks for the vehicle to arrive.

The dominant purchasing model in the US has always been to go to a dealership and choose something that is on the lot. Car companies give the dealership an "allocation" and they place orders with the car company for the cars that will go to their lot - within the confines of that allocation. Ford might tell them that if they want 50 Mustangs they also have to take 7 Fiestas. And generally, that's the only way that Fiestas will end up on the lot - because the dealership doesn't want anything but the most popular vehicle. So, does anyone really know what Americans will buy? I don't think they do.

Now Covid and supply shortages have happened. Dealers have nothing on the lot; they are selling everything while it is inbound to the dealer. Ford, at least, is currently offering a $1000 discount on many vehicles if you place an order and wait - like people buy cars in Europe.

So maybe this is going to be permanent. Manufacturers will like this better. I think dealers like it too. But if it sticks, we will likely see changes. More color choices, more combinations of options. And then, hopefully, more vehicle varieties. Because you've eliminated the need for unwilling dealers to keep some of them on the lot.

By the way, you can get a Ford 2.3T with a 7-speed manual transmission and (traditional) 4 wheel drive in the new Bronco. That would make a sweet combo in a wagon (but with full-time AWD)

The top US tax bracket is 37% and top California bracket is 13.3% for a total marginal rate of of 50.3%. If you're self-employed or a contractor you'll have the employer side too so I could see that hitting 55%. And that's just income tax; property and sales tax could easy push higher than that.

A poor person isn't paying that rate, but a wealthy person may well

On the other side of that, there is such thing as too much friction.

Shortly before BBVA closed them, I was in a back-and-forth to open an account with Simple.

First, my ID was too shiny, then it wasn't black and white, then it wasn't color, then they wanted a picture of my apartment building, then ...

it was just on and on and on for three weeks. It got to the point where I asked what exactly they wanted and they literally told me that they cannot tell me because it would allow me to commit fraud. I asked if I could talk directly to their fraud team to figure out what exactly: nope. Can't do that, they can't talk to you.

So I was expected to either read their minds or play infinite whack-a-mole with them where they say one thing in one email then say the opposite in the next.
The federal rate is progressive and not on the entire income. 37% applies only on the taxable income above $518K. Why is this misrepresentation?

If I understand your question, it is not mutually exclusive, and there are physical devices that can run Pico-8, for instance, GameShell and RaspiBoy.

Certainly, you can build your custom device. Still, it is sort of derailing the original intention if you are making a game or participating in the demoscene and would like to focus on the development (or learning) aspect rather than porting and hardware.

Game development is already hard. It could be a nice cherry on top to run it on the physical device; however, emulators are great to get started.
Go should be understood as a replacement for C and C++.

If you're writing a compiler, or some other project where extreme high performance is not necessary (e.g., if you're willing to be, say, a factor of 2 slower than C) then Go is a good choice.

Go's performance is excellent, and should be sufficient for all but the most demanding applications. It's not a crummy scripting language like Python/JS.
Feels like a chicken and the egg problem: no one is buying Android phones without Google Play Store (except in China, which has no Google Play Store), so no developers are releasing apps for it.

Look at Amazon App Store, and it's failed Fire Phone. Amazon has cornered the market on low-end tablets with it and people still try and install Google Play Store on it. And according to Epic's lawsuit, Google has been actively preventing hardware manufacturers from packaging alternative app stores with products.
Yea it’s not close. $1k is about 2% of the median family income (~$52k).

I remember two key things:

1. Being blown away by the frame rate. Total Annihilation (September 1997) was the main 4X game I'd been playing and it felt no where near as genuinely 3D as Warzone 2100. I was probably on a Voodoo Rush (originally released August 1997), a very middling video card when Warzone 2100 was released (April 1999) & not aged well, & was used to having cruddy frame rates & lower visuals, and Warzone 2100 ran very nicely. It and Myth (November 1997) were two of the first 3D games that really presented a beautiful 3D RTS world running far smoother than anything I'd seen. Some other later mentions: Battlezone (March 1998), Max Payne (July 2001).

2. Warzone 2100 was one of the first games I played with a kind of assemble-your-own-units system. I didn't get far in, didn't play a ton, but it was super neat being able to configure your units however you wanted, & I was super impressed by it. Took me a couple years to buy & play Alpha Centauri (February 1999) but it had a similar configure-your-units thing, & at the time I thought that's how gaming was going to go, and that this was just the start for a huge trend. Not so right on that. ;)

> the design decisions leading to the existence of `time.IsZero()` are bordering on criminal.

What's the rationale for Time.IsZero()? Seems like every use case for Time.IsZero() I think of is a code smell. The 1970 epoch is an implementation detail that should be hidden or configurable. People probably use IsZero() as a sentinel value to indicate "undefined time", even though the 1970 epoch is a valid point in time.

I know you're being sarcastic, but it's pretty widely agreed for a very long time that defense spending is an inefficient way to create jobs.

Here's an article from 1983:

> According to the study, for every $1 billion spent by the Pentagon to buy goods and services, 28,000 jobs are created in the private sector. The same investment would create 32,000 jobs if spent on public transportation, 57,000 if used for personal consumption and 71,000 jobs if spent on education, the report contended.

And yet Go seems to have not captured many C++ developers, but rather developers from languages like Python, Ruby, and JavaScript.

The Go team originally wanted to replace C++, especially inside Google, but they didn't succeed. According to googlers on Hacker News, very few projects inside Google actually use Go.

The reason Go attracted these kinds of developers is precisely that it isn't a systems programming language. Systems people want something like Rust instead.

GP was talking per year, not per month. This would be $83/month. Of course $1000 per month after taxes is a livable income (in Europe at least, I don't know what prices are like in the USA provided you're willing to move to a non-peak-price area) and does not merely cover housing, even if it's borderline poverty in richer countries with higher prices.

Perhaps they should've spent this much on medical research instead. For the same money perhaps we could save a few million people dying of various diseases or cancer.

"In 10 years time I will be on the chopping block daily"

That's a pretty maximal-fear approach to take. In my 30s I was afraid of lack of steady income, but the idea that you'll be washed up without an income as a software developer is a lie your fear is telling you. But there will be gaps in employment for various reasons, so expect that. It's not a problem, just make sure you have six months or so of cash like they say, although the longest I've gone without a job is four months, and that was in the .com bust. Also, know your worth. What does a developer with 10, 20, 30 years of experience bring to the table? Find places that need that. I've found contract work to be really helpful in getting perspective. As a contract worker, I am essentially selling the ability to solve your problem (doesn't matter what environment or language, although I'll be faster in ones I know), and as a contractor, I am selling disposability. You don't want me for whatever reason, no problem, it's been a pleasure, let me know if you need anything in the future. (Of course, my rates are priced accordingly.) Full-time employees are selling something a little different, like reliable future availability. Companies aren't out looking every day for who they can fire (if you're at one that is, quit), they are desperately trying to get things implemented because their imagination exceeds their development capacity. If your company doesn't value you or what you bring, find one that does. There are lots of companies out there needing an incredibly diverse set of problems solved. One of my early clients needed to analyze some PostScript code; I got the job because I'd dabbled in writing PostScript back around the time it came out so I could claim some experience. That's pretty obscure! There are lots of jobs out there, and I guarantee that if you are competent, there are multiple companies out there that find your experience is just perfect for what they need.
That does suck. What about canceling the credit card?

Only up to a point, try borrowing say 50 million dollars while making 50k. Before lending money people look at your existing debt load to determine if your likely to pay it back. The same thing happens to countries, though more smoothly as they first require higher interest rates.

If all that money was spent in the US, you'd have a much higher inflation.

This is another way the US exports the dollar as a worldwide currency, and is able to print money without causing high inflation domestically.
