That idea isn't possible. First problem is stocks aren't easily liquidable at scale.

Lets' think on the scale of the individual first: say this hypothetical person has 50 grand in stock options from their company. It's not a ridiculous number, perhaps they've been sitting on it for 5 years or so, building a nest egg. Say they've got liquidate stock to pay a 5% on that wealth amounting to $2500.

In systems this complex you've got to play out the cascading effects, your first, second, and third order effects. It's the most complex game in the world, balance patches are tricky.

First Order problem: Liquidating $2500 in stock costs more than $2500 in stock, the share price will drop once supply floods the market. This sucks for this hypothetical worker... but this is a far larger problem than just them.

It's not just Mr. Hypothetical, everyone has to pay taxes on their stock.

Second Order problem: A significant percentage will not have the liquid cash to pay these taxes and will have to liquidate their stock. We'll have a stock market crash every April, I guarantee it. Everyone's liquidation will further devalue others' stock.

Third Order problem: the wealthiest and most solvent will plan for this - it's what they do. They'll treat this like a circa 2011 Steam Summer sale and buy everything... and I mean Everything. This hypothetical tax law designed to spite them is the greatest favor possible.

I know what we'll call it: "The Running of the Bears".

Your example is misleading because of your choice of characters (and to some degree typeface), not your choice of alphabet. You would have the same problem (and people have had the problem) using the characters 1, I, and l in identifiers.

This argument does not apply to the original example and it's an odd argument to make.

The biggest downside to using 'φ' over 'phi' is how hard the first is to type on most keyboards, and how it might be harder to google (although I just tested and copy+paste+search gives me the right answer immediately).

I'm a fan of reducing jargon, but this is a very standard symbol and I like its use in a codebase - especially one targeted at people studying mathematics.

Apple, do please kneecap Google's advertising as well. In fact, eradicate unwanted advertising entirely and do what you did with Music - sell a subscription so I could browse the web without this bullshit, yet site owners would also get paid. Brave is trying to do this, but they lack the critical mass. Apple has the critical mass of basically everyone who has the money to spend, worldwide, as well as their credit card info.

It's easier to attract allies with a narrative that Apple is attacking you than it is with the truth that 96% of apple users have opted out of your 'service.'
Well, once you've finished "eating" your body fat, you can't sustain the calorie restriction. But at that point there's no reason too. For those of us prone to insulin resistance, we have to continue to eat low-carb to avoid putting the weight back on. (Very similar to how an alcoholic who's gotten sober has to continue to avoid alcohol.) But we don't need to have a caloric deficit anymore.

FWIW after Sourceforge was sold around 2016 does not have malware anymore and they added scanning to downloads. Also they do not show any ads if you are logged in (though i do not know if this was done before or after the sale).
At this point I’d rather Apple monetize my data and destroy FB than keep it 100% private.
People “want” the free content and services that this advertising has been paying for. And the actual consequences of Apple’s decision for users and small businesses that rely on efficient advertising to connect with users will take time to become clear.

There has been more flexibility in that recently, as I understand (also, promotions from the ranks could easily do it, but those—at least for more than 4 year enlisted service—have different pay scales at at the O-1 to O-3 or -4, I forget, level)

You don't need any subscription, just install uBlock Origin or whatever blocker works best and if you want to provide financial support those FOSS projects mostly accept donations.
Its not _hard_ its $$$ expensive. You'll need bigger processors and more servers. I mean, I guess its _hard_ to choose what compromises to make, but not technically hard. Anyhow, I'm no expert.

It must be nice to give up $100k by being impatient. I do understand that OP probably feels a moral reason to do so, but that $100k would be life-changing for me, even if it took 3 years to pay out.
Meanwhile Google bots ban valid accounts for non existent spam, like mine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28628849
> Then for every email interaction with a 3rd party you make a unique address

Does that work for you? Have you caught many companies sharing your address?

I’ve been making unique addresses for a decade, and it has been a complete failure. I haven’t caught any companies sharing them, and it hasn’t stopped spam in the slightest. I’m not sure where spammers get my mail email address from, but they do, and so far I’m not seeing them get the individualized addresses, like ever.
I don't have the references at hand, but I've seen a few rulings now for smart contract disputes along the lines of: "The contract is legal in and of itself, and part of the contract is to be bound to whatever decisions the code makes so long as that decision is itself legal."

The status quo now is that if I have a contract dispute with a big corporation I'm probably SOL as they will bury me under lawyers. But if I can get a summary judgment saying "hey, the code says he's right, pay up BigCo." Suddenly the courts are a lot more accessible to me.

Texas is part of the United States. Of which, I am a citizen. I am free to question their decisions when they impact the whole of the country. The same people trying to push this law tried to steal the presidency and give it to someone who didn't win. And somehow you think I shouldn't have a right to question their decisions when they get pushed up to the Supreme Court and potentially be applied across the entire country? No. Sorry. No.

If we give companies the power the lobby and push agenda, then yes, I think Apple should be allowed to push social agendas and punish Texas for enacting draconian laws that are designed to hurt women and set the country back decades. Apples actions here and what they do in China can both exist and don't make one action OK because the other is NOT OK. Or are you going to say only the perfect moral entity can have an opinion on any topic? Because there will always be some moral critique of anyone who says anything.

If we are going to let people subject their ridiculous religious beliefs despite the supposed separation of church and state, what's the difference with letting companies? It's just another organized group with lots of money. Why let one get away with it and restrict the other?

Personally, I'd like to see religious groups lose any tax benefit if they participate in politics. I'd also like to see Citizens United overturned and get corporate money out of politics. But given the status quo, if corporations want to fight the religious right pushing their anti-women agenda? It's better than saying 'companies shouldn't be involved in politics.'

By your own argument, companies have the right to not employ people in a State that is pushing an agenda against a protected class of people. The current set of laws says this is OK, ergo, Apple has the right to do it. This is the same logic that the people of Texas have the right to enact a draconian anti abortion bill. The rest of the country, people and companies, have the right to say fuck off and try to change the law.
You mean... they might need to charge money in exchange for goods and/or services?

How capitalistically gauche!
> A.k.a trust a third party.

True, but in a very limited sense. You're trusting a third party to protect you from your counterparty posting an out of date state. And adding further complexity, your counterparty gets punished if they get caught publishing this state, and they have no way of knowing if you are watching or not.

So, from a game theory perspective, it is unlikely for this to even come into play.

Oh, and you can technically have multiple third parties doing this.

You sure? Say your app is reaching the cap. What do you do with ongoing costs? Do you block writes? Shut down VMs? Delete stored data?

So you might say, simply project the cost (with some magic) and prevent that from going over the limit. So, imagine, your app suddenly experiences a load peak and you need to scale up. However, adding a VM would increase that projection too much. Do you not scale, despite this possibily being a small load peak, and let the app go down? Or do you risk the situation described above? Doesn't matter, you'll get bad press either way.

And beyond that, you'd still need to project costs like traffic volume, which can vary extremely. Not to say anything about the technical difficulties of coordinating that billing information across hundreds of services in real time.

And even if you do all that, you still get bad press of the likes of "we forgot to remove our payment limit and it killed our app while being on the front page (and our alert did not trigger because we couldn't afford another mail)".

There's no way AWS (or any other cloud) is eating all these drawbacks just to have a limit. I bet it's orders of magnitude cheaper to just eat the occasional surprise bill.
There's Slo, which is a slow mode admin plugin for Slack. I wish it were baked in like Discord's slow mode (hopefully it exist in Slack and someone will correct me.)

I agree it's really poor etiquette to make the view scroll for no reason and to make it hard for others to participate. It's fine in DMs or maybe with 3-4 likeminded people, but in anything meant for wider reading or participation it's rude (usually unintentionally) and counterproductive. Fortunately, since it's not intentionally rude, it's not a big deal to teach that good middle ground.

Your "Round" product claims "<100ms latency from San Francisco to Tokyo."

Given that even fast connections between SF and Tokyo average around 110ms (1), is < 100ms an arbitrary goal that has been pulled out of thin air, or are you deploying new technology that's faster than a typical fiber connection?

Does iOS have any way of telling if you’re on an unlimited data plan? If not, maybe it’s just to prevent the footgun (and subsequent bad PR) of somebody accidentally updating the OS over an expensive metered connection. But it could also be a carrier demand, not really sure.
You can't have uBlock Origin (or anything similarly powerful) on iOS as all browsers are skins for Mobile Safari. But you can install Firefox with full extension support on Android!

In addition there is a need to look at the total cost including supporting functions. Dev test servers, build pipelines, redundancy, failover, deployment environments. Sometimes these may be 5% of emissions, but at other times much higher. And some languages will have significantly less emissions when idle.

A good example here may be, a machine learning model may have 90%+ of it's carbon emissions in the training, vs the operation.
> I don't think a programming language will benefit law in any capacity.

It sounds like your concept of law is rather static. Don't you think human society will eventually start to create "law" that doesn't follow the traditional model of imprecisely expressed statements, expressed in a weird bastardization of natural language?
JS is more common, but this is not a complete implementation. So those skills may not transfer 100%.
“I don't think that Tim Cook is this benevolent privacy person,” said Kelcey Lehrich, CEO of 365 Holdings, a company that owns e-commerce brands and advertises extensively online. “They're making strategic decisions that affect the market cap, not practical decisions that serve their customers or serve their users,” he said, speaking broadly of the Big Tech companies.

Talk about sour grapes. I think it might be possible to make strategic decisions that both affect the market cap and serve one's customers!
I really doubt most users have even thought about or give a hoot about where fees are going for products they are buying on Apples platform. If the argument is "the product would cost 30% less" sure, they'd probably care. But that's not the argument. It's the relatively few (compared to users) developers and companies selling apps that are losing that money that care and are vocal about it. They would rather keep it for themselves. The end user really doesn't even figure into the equation when it comes to Apple transaction fees on their platform, because it doesn't affect them.
From an earlier post: This is a boat load of mission critical data.

- all contacts, including 3rd party messaging apps, with metadata (interactions, timestamps, other stats) - full address book - whether any app is installed - SSID of connected wifi

- medical info - device usage - screen time - device accessories
This is actually really useful for screening out a potentially toxic workplace.

While the idea of being “pro-freespeech” I agree with, in practice the people I've encountered who frequently express sentiments like what's featured on their page are uncomfortable to be around or discuss most anything that's not specifically work related with.

Yes, a link without a statement is not helpful. I’m fully aware of Apples response to TikTok’s use of user clipboards without their knowledge.

All Apple did was incorporate a snitch notification for when an app pasted from clipboard.

Contrast that with their approach to permissions and privacy in developer documentation which gates sensitive functionality behind dialogs that let users “Allow”, “Allow while using” or “Don’t allow”

No criticism, nothing. Even the change is not very helpful if it doesn’t explicitly prohibit the abuse, only throws a temporary pop up when abused.
Oh ok, Apple will fix that in five years.
This is an epic thread! If I followed correctly, the extension author is spamming their users on initialisation with a link to a YT article on Covid and ivermectin…. Why would you do this? No user wants deception like this (regardless of whatever the link goes to)

Yep I've noticed a few, most of the breaches were disclosed to the public which is good. I've stopped using those services so I've just send them straight to trash now as they get non stop spam.

Before setting up a catch all domain I had 3 distinct email addresses I used as high/medium/low priority which helped, but its much simpler with the catch all domain as it goes into the same inbox, just with different "To:" addresses that you can easily filter on - I just right click in outlook and select move all mail to recipient to junk.

To be fair most of the mail I get is marketing and I could probably unsubscribe, its just easier to make a rule to filter them to junk.

The reason I use Vimium rather than qutebrowser is simply because the former has the standard compliment of Chromium plugins and the latter does not, or at least last time I tried it.

Unclear IMO.

Vacant storefronts in big cities don't represent that much of the economy and without getting too into the weeds, the way they are financed often incentivizes owners to keep them vacant for potentially >10years racking up debt rather than rent below a certain price point which would trigger legal mechanisms that force them to put up a lot more cash immediately.

Absent vacancy taxes or some new regulations on commercial real estate the problem might persist indefinitely.
The markdown in github is damned annoying, though, it's whitespace-sensitive in THREE separate places (after the dash, between the brackets, after the brackets) - and then when you are saying "I did this" you have to add the x and delete the space between the brackets. I realize it sounds nitpicky but if you're really using checklists for everything then micro UX like this matters.

(I'm sort of hoping someone corrects me on this point & I find out a better way to use it because I do love the functionality, in theory, I just find myself never bothering to check off anything is completed.)
