That's not what that says. The graph that tops out at 42% is talking about the effective tax rate, not marginal. It's perfectly possible that some people had part of their income taxed at 70%, but their effective tax rate was 42%. That's just how marginal tax brackets work.

True, but GitHub Pages requires more time to set up your website: Create a new GitHub account (If you don't have one already), create a repo for your website, create your website, push that website to your repo, and then even that, you still have to set up your website for blogging, which is going to take you from a few minutes to a few days depends on what you use to create the website and how lazy you are.

okay but the adage of “VC profit is mostly the huge winners”, so your marginal benefit goes down only at the highest valuation companies, and does that really harm much?

There’s a great argument that yes, I’d rather have Elon be able to pump billions into spaceX or bezos billions into his ventures than have poor people spend them, but incentives? No clue, genuinely
If you have a tiny effect size on X, you probably haven't discovered a significant cause of X, but just something incidental.

For example, smoking was finally proved to cause lung cancer because the effect size was so large that the argument that 'correlation does not imply causation' became absurd: it would have required the existence of a genetic or other common cause Z that both causes people to smoke and causes them to develop cancer with correlations at least as large as between smoking and lung cancer, but there just isn't anything correlated that strongly. It would imply that almost everyone who smokes heavily does so because of Z.
Yeah it's an interesting model. I'm guessing it works on an honour system as income isn't easily verifiable
> I don't know why your comment has gotten downvoted so much.

I did not downvote (I try to assume best intent), but to me the tone of the comment reads more like "make sure everyone falls for the first lie" rather than "this theory is not yet totally proven". The phrase "(make) everyone believe" is just to overused by conspiracy theorists these days and 'prove' or 'find more evidence' would fit much better for a scientific discussion.
Many schemes have been discussed to handle this problem. Giving a workers union board seats as is done in Germany is one possible way. Another, if we are imagining a different society, is to make sure our educational system teaches every student the principles of worker self-management. People would grow up learning how to make decisions collectively. A great example of another world not yet to be realized is the Oakland Community Learning Center run by the Black Panthers, shown in this 1977 television piece [1].

In that school, students learn to work together not just to solve problems, but also to determine justice (under guidance from adult teachers).

In a world with bosses and workers, we are teaching everyone to do as they are told and follow orders. But we could, I believe, see a much better world if we teach everyone to be community leaders and collaborators.

Honestly, I think the pay policies in many industries needs a major overhaul. I have seen companies spend endless time working out compensation each cycle trying to balance like hundred different factors and they come out with this overly contrived and comprehensive compensation framework that nobody seems to comprehend. The outcome is this huge spread in pay with even minute differences across same groups of people that only cause more frustration and anxiety for everyone.

I feel these efforts are largely misguided. Companies think optimising rewards is the best way to extract "output" from employees. I can't speak for all industries but at least for those that employ creative skill, this couldn't be further from the truth. People in creative work are more motivated by intrinsic causes like a desire to create something, than by extrinsic factors like pay. Of course, pay is always important but it is something people do not want to think about all the time. Opaque and contrived pay policies create an environment which makes people think and mull over pay all the time which doesn't help anyone.

Probably to give the impression of hastily scribbled down thoughts and ideas.
Unfortunately, here, I think the problem is that English is not very clear.

As a native English speaker, the first time I encountered the word 'draft' was at primary school. We used it to describe a piece of writing where presentation was not the focus, instead, content and accuracy in terms of spelling, grammar, and punctuation would be the focus. Once the drafts were complete, we would 'copy these up' in our neatest handwriting.

However, if I prepare a 'draft' of some document or other for my boss, I expect it to be essentially an unapproved version of a final document, perhaps needing some minor modifications before release, but also perhaps not.

Although personally, I would use 'sketch' to mean something disposable which illustrates a more perfect version, my grandmother is an artist, and she refers to the initial drawings she makes on the canvas as 'sketches', which she then paints over in more detail.

Essentially, I don't think there's a big difference between draft and sketch - both could (in my opinion) represent either a version which will be discarded or which will be developed further.

Overall, I think here, the 'Work In Progress' label is the clearest and least likely to be interpreted differently by different users.

We weren't talking about "just shadows" though. While one of the sub-pages of one of four brands is really using shadows at least somewhere:

/* https://www.apple.com/store */
.rf-ccard-content {
box-shadow: 2px 4px 12px rgb(0 0 0 / 8%);
}

... it just supports the point made at the root comment.

PS. And gucci not having an https certificate is another example how "premium brands" often have completely unusable or simply non-functioning sites. Still sells.
In Spain the socialists tried to copy the Scandinavian model of tax information.

Very soon they realized terrorist groups like ETA or GRAPO used that information in order to extort, kidnap or kill family members of those that had high income in order to finance itself. Having access to that meant the ability to calculate the "revolutionary tax" for every entity with extreme precision.

So it was short lived, but on the Basque country they continued having access to that information because the political party that represented the terrorists had access to it.

Today travelling to places like Thailand or Mexico is extremely dangerous if they know you have money. They can kidnap your taxi driver, or put cocaine bags on you luggage.

I personally believe what I earn is nobody business but me and my family.

People have strong opinions about something they have never experienced, like socialism and communism. They really love those systems from outside, the grass is always greener on the other side.
> You have to be kidding. The difficulty and invasiveness of different interventions for covid alone has been constantly under discussion.

I'm not kidding. Who has weighed it? Where was it decided that coercion and forced medical procedures was the right balance? Because it wasn't long ago they were off the table. Where did this most recent re-weighing occur, can you give me a link.

> You're being vague on purpose.

No I'm not, that's what it is. You're minimizing the seriousness of it because "it's just a jab".

> When you replace "unwanted medical procedure" with a much more specific "approved vaccine shot" that stops being true.

What does "approved" have to do with anything. Medical experimentation, forced sterilizations, and things of that sort were all "approved" somewhere, and many were "just routine procedures". And it's not a slippery slope, these are things which all have happened within living memory, likely even with some of the same people still in positions of power in governments and institutions responsible.

> You can't take a hard-line stance against coercion unless you're asking to abolish government.

I certainly can and am.

> Any reasonable analysis takes the particular coercion into account.

And forced medical procedure of any kind whatsoever is a gravely serious issue to me.
If you want to take a radar measurement for something once every 28 days, its great - except for the whole needing to be on the Moon part. Even if you were to build a network of radio telescopes on the dark side of the Moon, you'd still have an unavoidable revisit period - and building on the Earth facing side to overcome that defeats the purpose of putting radio telescopes on the Moon. The possibilities for optical telescopes are pretty interesting though.
The infectious nature is just how things work with types. Imagine if you had to annotate a function with IO every time you do something that reaches for something else outside of the program. You would either design things differently so that IO usage is minimized or you would make everything infected by IO.

With Async, people are still figuring things out.

I've encountered a bunch of code bases that are polluted with async when a better design could have removed it completely.
Clarification as my parent comment gets downvoted: there is a good HN rule - "assume good faith".

> No it isn't. "Regardless of harm to others" is not the same as "regardless of any level of harm". Just bloody look at them: Is there any mention of levels in the first? No, there isn't.

Definition of "regardless" is "without regard or consideration for". If there is no consideration for harm, then it does not matter what the level of harm is. Therefore, "regardless of harm to others" means exactly the same thing as "regardless of any level of harm".

Even if you are using your own dictionary to invent new meanings for words to win imaginary arguments inside your own head, it's not exactly clear to me how you interpret this original quote in a manner that doesn't paint democrats and republicans as polar opposites:

A new home for my free book about software architecture in Python
Hi all, I recently reworked the website for my book "Clean Architectures in Python", which is now available at https://www.thedigitalcatbooks.com, where I plan to host other upcoming books.

The book was published in 2018 (see the announcement here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18775349) and in 2020 I published the second edition. You can find the PDF on Leanpub at https://leanpub.com/clean-architectures-in-python.

Both the book and the website required a good amount of time to be created, so I would be very grateful if you could share the links on social media. Thanks!

You are the one making this claim. Back it up with some evidence.
I have no clue about the underlying issue, but I'm guessing it's occurring on a boundary or an interplay between two systems.

Something like "the username can be part of the URL, and if the URL contains .mov, some browsers will misinterpret this and assume it's a movie file, leading to bad things™".

Or: "the username is sometimes used as a folder name, and our syncing software contains rules to exclude certain file extensions, so these folders were never synced, which lead to issues on production servers"

I'm guessing it's something along these lines. Something that you control, but not really, leading to these kind of haphazard workarounds.
For a corrupt government the more corrupt it becomes, the more efficient they see themselves. And of course they care a lot about this kind of efficiency (capturing even more money for themselves).
Bitbucket has supported this for a while as well
Not quite, radio waves can diffract around obstacles/edges, and lower-frequency waves apparently do this more efficiently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_wave#Radio_propagation

(IANARE)

Edit: It seems that diffraction around edges and electromagnetic ground waves are two quite different phenomena. (A third separate effect being a refractive index vertical gradient in the atmosphere causing diffraction, acting as a waveguide.) EM ground waves require that the ground is partially conductive, which the Earth is, but I suspect the Moon isn't particularly because it's dry. Still, diffraction will occur.

Edit2: A better link for diffraction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_propagation#Diffraction

"However, the angle cannot be too sharp or the signal will not diffract. ... Lower frequencies diffract around large smooth obstacles such as hills more easily."
> You can get coins in other ways

What guarantees that this continues to be true? Yes coins that can't be sold are worthless, but coins that can only be sold with KYC aren't.

> We are talking about staking oligopolies not about someone buying 10 dollars worth of coins

The staking providers or delegatees are the (potential) oligopolies

> I did not mention miners but producers of mining equipment.

Those are also anonymous and, if not completely portable, fungible with general electronic manufacturing equipment that's widely possessed.

> Also, a nation state can produce mining equipment themselves, they can't create new coins.

Which supports my point - the capability to exclude a nation state also allows the staking cabals to exclude people they don't like. Given that a staking cabal by its very nature controls the chain, they can stop other people getting or making coins. But a mining cabal can't stop other people getting or making mining equipment.

If we're going to have a civilization, we can't just have Newtons. We still need to grow food, build houses, take out the trash, and do all the mundane stuff that's necessary to sustain life. That requires some "bureaucratizition" of human action. The only reason Newton was able to do what he did was because he had a position where other people took care of fixing the leak in the roof and preparing the meals.

Newton can come up with the laws of motion, but he can't build a space shuttle by himself. Nobody could. It requires some organization and coordination and, yes, some menial, boring tasks.

Maybe one day we'll get robots to do all of that, but we aren't there yet.
In the frequency of visitation, so that sentence seems to be a bit confusing.
Right. I'm mostly worried about dust reaching near-escape velocities, allowing it to take its sweet time as it falls back down. I'd have to do some math to see if this is an actual problem - it might be that it's very hard to create such a cloud.

> At which point you've just found a more cumbersome way to do frequentist statistics.

Hmm, in one way, yes...but on the other hand, Bayesian posteriors are a lot more intuitive to interpret, for most people. So I think you trade one form of convenience for another. But as you sort of hint at, the results should usually be fairly similar, whether you're doing frequentist or Bayesian analysis. So in most cases, I doubt it matters that much. Where it does matter, is when you have grounds for strong priors, that you want to take advantage of. In such cases you can improve your chances of being correct in the "here and now", if you do a Bayesian analysis. Whereas a frequentist analysis is only concerned with the asymptotic error rates. (but of course frequentist vs Bayesian is also a ladder, rather than a black and white distinction)

> Well, the fact is there are too many small-sample studies being produced for all or even most of them to be critically analysed by people with deep understanding.

And this I totally agree with. If there's one thing I dislike about academia, it's the tendency to fund low-powered studies that get nowhere. Better to go all in, with sufficient support from experienced people, in fewer and bigger studies.
After using some Ecto, some Diesel and some sqlalchemy, Ecto as a query builder is on par with sqlalchemy (Diesel is limited by being strongly typed). Overall, when including migrations, reading and generating schemas, and performing arbitrary operations, sqlalchemy wins by not being opinionated. It can handle any database you throw at it without needing to fight it. Both Diesel and Ecto try to instill their own conventions on where the code should be and what the source of truth is even before you start.

No, it takes no time to eat less (it takes less time in fact), or stand on a scale once a week. In the weeks between the two shots (are we ruling out boosters?), a person could easily have lost several pounds and didn't even have to step out of the house into the risky possibly covid-filled environment -- already a significant improvement and reduction on the stress of the healthcare system. So losing weight is actually much easier, less time consuming task than to get vaccinated.
