> Suppose you buy a stock at $100 and it go up to $200. Do you pay taxes on $100 because that's "income", even though its just a number. If its 30%, I would have to sell 15% of my stock, which would also trigger capital gains tax.

Suppose you buy a house (or land) for $100,000 and it increases in value to $200,000. Do you pay taxes on [the] $100,000 [gain] because that's "income", even though it's just a number?

Why yes, yes you do.

Feel free to argue that buying real estate is a different kind of capital holding than buying stocks. There are some plausible cases to be made for it. But let's not pretend that there's no precedent for taxing unrealized capital gains.

That's how online givers of bad advice roll -- they advise you do something they know is wrong, and when things go south they don't help you; those who followed Sun/Oracle's advice ran into no such issues. There are documented and supported ways to get the classpath.

(I won't lie, I used that easy trick, too, once or twice, but I did it knowing full well that it might well stop working some day, and treated it as technical debt.)

No it's not the same. The new revalations are about internal research showing that instagram is more harmful than its peers. Even if most social media were on par with those magazines, a big part of the point is that IG is worse. Also that they lied in front of congress.

All that said, it seems evident that ads for weight loss being put in front of your communications with friends is worse than the old magazines, which didn't suddenly show up whenever you made a phone call.
You're begging the question. What you said is true but only because of regulation.

>https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/40/80.22

>(f) Every retailer and wholesale purchaser-consumer shall equip all gasoline pumps from which gasoline is dispensed into motor vehicles with a nozzle spout that meets all the following specifications:

>(1) The outside diameter of the terminal end shall not be greater than 0.840 inches (2.134 centimeters).

>(2) The terminal end shall have a straight section of at least 2.5 inches (6.34 centimeters).

>(3) The retaining spring shall terminate at least 3.0 inches (7.6 centimeters) from the terminal end.

If these regulations weren't present, Ford could have it's own gas stations and gasoline that were incompatible with GM's and so on.
It's very possible that there just isn't much demand. This is likely for a number of reasons:

- x86 just has better support for the stuff Azure's "enterprise" customers want

- ARM servers are often more expensive to spin up than an equivalently specced x86 option

- PRISM compliance is easier on x86 (half-joking, half not)

I like ARM, and I owned a Rev1 Raspberry Pi when those were cool. But even now, ARM still has yet to make a strong case for existing on the server. And that's before we even discuss architectures like RISC-V that are out on the horizon, much better suited for servers than ARM. I'm not planning on an "ARM revolution" taking place in the next decade unless x86 is critically compromised in some way.

Thanks for this great post. I actually just signed up to say that I actually wasted a considerable amount of time trying to create my own SIGv4 just to avoid replay attacks especially if the server is behind some L-7 load balancer such as Cloudflare more than any other reason. It was implemented like this: the server creates a ecdsa/ed22519 key pair, hands over the private key to the user and keeps only the public key, then for every request to the actual APIs, the user uses the private key to create a JWT that contains some attributes such as the userID, sessionID, the request path, etc...). While this method obviously looked much more secure than just a long-term static JWT or an access token, the real problem I found was in the clock skew, if the client doesn't have a well synchronized clock, then the JWT is deemed invalid by the server since such this JWT should be very short-lived by design otherwise what's the point of having them in the first place. If your clients are browsers or running on PCs, as opposed to servers, containers, etc... this will be a huge problem for you. In fact, AWS clients implement their own clock skewing correction https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/clock-skew-correction...

I ended up implementing an additional auth API endpoint where you use your long-lived secret to periodically request a short-lived JWT that is only valid for a few hours, this short-lived secret is what is used for the actual APIs to authenticate the users.
We moved EVERYTHING to Teams and ADO (for git, backlog, pipelines) except our actual product is still on AWS. If we didn't have a couple things like encryption, S3 and some fargate usage, we'd probably start fresh on Azure.
It isn't a mistake, but it also isn't just to induce outrage. I think it is outrageous that after a certain amount of wealth you can literally never sell your stock and never need to pay taxes on it.

No worries! I haven't built something with so many fans before, but it looked empty without them so I went all in. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure some of them (like the bottom ones) ramp up as needed, since they will go on CPU temp on the motherboard control I think (which won't be high in games when it is the GPU being taxed more). Since I moved the computer on to the desk I'm hoping it won't get as much dust and hair as on the floor.

I haven't looked at GPU temps much so far, but the last screenshot of Red Dead Redemption 2 shows 81 C. From my quick searches that seems quite reasonable for the 6700XT. Maybe I can tweak some fan settings to improve that a bit, but that should be well below any throttling or stability temperatures.

Edit: 81 C probably not being the peak junction temperature, I'm guessing, not sure what Mango is using by default. In that same instance the CPU is only 51 degrees.
I have no idea how we’re ever going to achieve trustworthy self-driving cars before we achieve full artificial intelligence.
I know how I react to different situations is fully contingent on recognizing what I’m actually looking at and being able to generate a risk probability model in real-time.

What's "fun" about following the developer of a particular piece of business or process support software?

Apple Store already has star ratings, user reviews, and links to publisher web sites. I don't use any of the social/community features of Steam, and I can't stand the amount of review-stacking that happens in Steam and Amazon.

The one area that Steam is useful is their discovery stream where Steam will show you more games that they think you might like — the catch being that if you like one RTS game, Steam will show you lots of RTS games and never show you Mass Effect, Torchlight, KSP, or Dad Dating Sim.

As to why Apple doesn't have a discovery stream, just look at Steam's problematic system and you'll understand: Apple doesn't have it because they haven't figured out how to do it in a way that makes sense and will help people discover apps that they'll enjoy.

There the Apple Store suffers is in discoverability: in some cases I've been looking for a specific app and the thing I'm looking for comes "under the fold" because a dozen other apps have paid to get higher rankings for that search term.

I do not want TikTok-style feeds of promotional material clogging up my App Store. I want to get in there, find the thing I want, then get out. I do not spend my life looking for inspiration from apps in the store.

Wealth taxes are more like property tax rather than an income tax.

If you own 10,000,000 in stock today you could be assessed a tax of 50,000 on it today. Next year it's worth 20,000,000 and you would owe the same rate, 100,000. If it went down to 5,000,000 you'd still owe 25,000 in taxes.

The goal is not to tax income if it exists but to excise a tax on wealth itself. Like a property tax.

More a bit of feedback then question.

You are obviously aware of the issues with the site. I like the vision and how you've laid it out, but I felt you were missing a trick with design a bit.

You lay out the "for centuries the way.." really well, and it's fun. I feel like I'm in Mad Max. But then, you introduce your technology, and everything is still desert. I don't feel like you've "changed the world" because your tech is so great.

Also, for LOTS of people (as you can see in the comments) this sort of web experience doesn't work when they want to dig into real details, or want to feel like they aren't watching a movie. They want it to feel real, so I'd recommend a place they can go with a simple layout, almost whitepaper like description of what you're doing. Perhaps that exists, but I couldn't find it, and you even had a comment (more highly voted than yours) which has copied the text from your site, and pasted it here to be easy to read.

Just a few suggestions.

I'm not sure that we should be taking advice on "impartial justice" from a slaver -- especially one who helped craft one of the most deeply ironic sentences that a slaver has ever crafted in history:

>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

I only bring this up, because of how jarring the idea of "impartial justice" is in the context of Thomas Jefferson.

Azure is a typical Microsoft product: it doesn't work all that well, but you can get the job done if you just buy more of it (to work around the deficiencies).

Looking for a k8s for a hybrid deployment, the contrast was blatant: mention it to a Red Hat sales person and you have people showing up the next week to pitch OpenShift. AWS has a deep story here, same deal. A friend stopped begging the Google rep to pitch Anthos because it was kind of obvious how it'd go if you actually needed support.

That reminds me of a relatively old twitter thread (that I can't find of course) about systems that have become operating systems and computers upon themselves.

It went something like this:

Code used to be running on a processor, then it ran on an OS on a processor. Then it became on a runtime on an OS on a processor. Then it an abstraction layer was sandwiched in between. Then a filesystem. Then a compatibility layer. Then a database. Then a browser. Then we went and created a runtime in the browser to run code again. We have come full circle.

This probably applies to SharePoint but also the real-time OS on your GPU, the MSSQL database which has its own OS facilities you can run stuff on. Add too many features and the application becomes the very thing we wanted to get away from...
DLSS is in the Linux NVIDIA driver since 470 (June 22nd).

That is if you use it directly with Linux APIs (Vulkan). I think Direct3D implementations on Linux (like Proton/DXVK/VKD3D) are still catching up to wrap the D3D API for it, but, that's out of NVIDIA's court.

My two cents: I don't think you can find ANY government (icluding Scandinavia countries, Switzerland and what not) that is NOT engaged in - "donating" money to a government regulator can induce the regulator to cover up and turn a blind eye to a person's alleged or suspected breaches in the course of investigations and prosecutions." That's how government regulation works, more regulation more opportunities for corruptions.

You’d be very surprised how much of the industry hasn’t discovered this. There’s lots of stats that can be used to reliably detect cheating.

* New account

* K/D ratio that’s multiple times better than the best players in the game

* Using incredibly off-meta “cheater builds”

* Consistent record breaking total kill count

* Inhumanly low TTK and headshot ratio

* Speed hacks that allow you to move around the map much faster than you should be

* Time to lock on/switch between targets

All of those are incredibly easy to statistically analyze. I play a fair amount of Warzone, and I often run in to cheaters that would fail a very basic “definitely cheating” stats check. You can even get a rather reliable indication of whether there’s an obvious cheater in the lobby by how quickly the surviving player count goes down.

A 3rd party implemented an app that looks up the stats of every player in your lobby, that players were using to detect the more obvious cheaters. There’s no non-cheating explanation for a double-digit K/D player getting 50+ kills for the past few matches in this game, but you’ll find players like that in your games routinely. The developer response was to declare the app against ToS and modify the public end points that provided those stats, breaking the app.

That’s one of the biggest games in the world, they’re clearly not utilizing even simple statistical methodology, and they don’t want users doing it themselves to decide what lobbies to back out of.

> The entire point of a corporation, as a governance structure, in general is to limit liability for its shareholders. That's true for all corporations not just facebook. Its the reason people establish corporations instead of running businesseses informally as an individual.

Except they're not doing it to protect Zuckerberg or Sandberg as shareholders they're doing it to protect them as decision making executives. More to the point if they didn't have liability due to the structure of a corporation they would never have been in "danger" and therefore the pay-off would have been unnecessary.

The statement Apple made that most people are referring to was "As we've said all along, we would welcome Epic's return to the App Store if they agree to play by the same rules as everyone else." so it doesn't seem like "drop the case" was a condition, at least according to this one statement.

The mention of AWS ECS made me curious — does Azure have the equivalent of Fargate, where they manage the host and you only pay for the container's actual usage? The O&M wins on that have been really substantial and I recommend it for anyone who doesn't have sufficiently large scale that the savings will fund an ops team capable of running something like ECS or Kubernetes. One of the reasons why is the challenge of avoiding over-allocated instances — every time I've seen people running AWS ECS/EKS, Google GKE, etc. they've been substantially over-provisioned because someone's always meaning to get around to looking at that but the time never seems to materialize.

Wouldn't it make sense to stipulate that loans taken against stocks are taxed in some form?

Average workers holding stocks then would not get taxed until they sell their stock.
Those borrowing against the value of stocks using the strategy you mention would be taxed at a specific rate while the loan exists.

Perhaps that's too difficult or affects average people as well. The other option as another poster points out is to remove tax deduction from specific assets or cap the deduction.

Ask HN: When does serverless become more expensive than microservices?
If it makes sense to deploy an application both as serverless as well as microservices, when will a serverless architecture start being more expensive economically, or in general having tradeoffs in comparison to microservices. Again, the question relates to cases in which both architectures would make sense for a particular application.

Other than maybe vendor lock-in, and cold starts, what other drawbacks does serverless have in comparison to microservices?
Because SK also does it?
