You pay capital gains taxes on the majority of gains made via investment.

This change is intended to prevent the abuse of Roth IRAs as a way to shield potentially enormous capital gains from taxation.
Thanks.

How about either:

- Tax-supported.

- Rolled into broadband / mobile service.

Both all-you can eat, apply to any publisher, and some sort of (waves hands) standard pro-rata scale. Probably scaling down with higher volume (RMS suggested a log-of-views basis, because reasons).

In both cases, I'd like to see the reader/viewer fee scaled at least roughly by income/wealth.

I'm exactly the opposite. I prefer self-checkout because it gives me something to do so I'm not just standing there. I also get to pack the bags exactly how I want them done.

I don't see it as "stealing jobs" (what does that even mean, anyway?) anymore than pumping my own gas is.
I'm not sure it's so much about not knowing where to start as it is that complex strategies that require lawyers and accountants above and beyond routine tax filings quickly start costing more than any potential tax savings unless there's a lot of money involved.

You're forgetting that The Fed pumps up asset prices, share buybacks, and that capital gains are taxed less than income.

It's not that simple.

The deregulation of the '90's, combined with questionable court decisions, and the resulting interference with Government in media--not to mention the rise of social media & big tech's influence and the resulting wane of traditional media's--has brought us to the point where most media orgs have no incentive to act trustworthy. It's just not profitable any more!
Many of the things I read are repulsive, and I wish I could take away money from the people who published them. A huge amount of it is also time-wasting linkbait that doesn't follow up on the promise of its headline, and I wish I could make them pay me for having read it.

I pay for news I want other people to read, not for things that I read. I read tons of scientifically illiterate, deliberately deceptive right-wing dogshit. It's worth reading, because I want to be familiar with the arguments of bad people, but I certainly don't want to economically support them.

SaaS Benchmarks: Cash Burn – ScaleXP
Did he use the mega-backdoor contribution thing, or did he grow it from a tiny amount?
It's not everything, sure.

But it does (attempt to) say "you cannot avoid paying tax on gigantic capital gains by shielding it inside a Roth IRA". It is absolutely directed at ultra high net worth elites.

There is an argument that simply capping the gains inside a Roth IRA that can be tax-exempt would be a more efficient way to do this.
I use them for support for various SaaS I manage at work. Really convenient for that. Use one or another maybe once every 2 or 3 months. I don't think I've ever used one on a site where I wasn't logged in, though.

I could maybe see using one on a pricing page or something like that, if I couldn't figure out which plan was what I needed.
i never said entertainment does not contribute to a surrounding industry, i was only pointing out that both sides have it. You are simply pointing out to an instance where the other one does not have an equivalent.

Here, i'll do the same (with the same hand waviness):

Your list states people in the "industries that specialise solely on art, fashion, and event management" - Intel's supply chain supports thousands of logistics jobs (pilots, truck/HGV drivers, mining raw materials) - the film industry does not have this at scale.

My point is, you have moved from "intel doesn't want to be here - but these two industries do! so intel must be wrong"

to saying that even though the net loss to the UK is larger in terms of the pure industry, that their surrounding industries bring in money (but apparently intel's doesn't compare to film industry awards ceremonies, which are HUGE MONEY)

This is not the argument I wanted to make, but here: the chip industry enables the video game industry, which on it's own is larger than the movie industry. If you want to compare surrounding industries, there, I'm Done. [1]

and perhaps that is why we are having sustainability issues?
I don't believe they're the same. Specifically on wars... the lack of 'outrage' is because people have been smart enough to tie "war" to nationalism, patriotism, and "watchdog for the world" which instills a sense of pride in a majority population nationwide; instead of seeing it as a drag on prosperity, nation mongering, and self interest dealing.
GDP is not a measure of economic wealth (much less "social wealth", whatever that is) and never has been. GDP is a measure of economic activity. I.e. transactions, spending. But since one year to the next, the structure of a nation's economy doesn't change dramatically, it can be used as a proxy for changes in wealth.

However, the longer time period you look look at between two GDP figures, the less comparable they are. And finally, since different nations have different economic structures, a direct currency translation may be misleading, hence PPP (which is misleading in a different way, but <shrug>).
I left out the option of doing it on purpose, conciously or unconciously, but you are right, it could be that as well.

I think in the long run it will hurt you to actively refuse to help your colleagues, because they are smart, they will pick this up and be reluctant to work with you and share information with you as well.
Not helping the people you work with has its advantages too, like more time and more focus for your own stuff, maybe even more carreer opportunities, but for me it is simply not an option anymore. I tried that, but it made me negative and miserable, so I gave it up. Now I try to be the engineer I personally would like to work with on a daily basis. If people get it, great, if not, it doesn't matter too much anyways. I do it for myself as well.

> 3. Closes the backdoor Roth IRA (https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Backdoor_Roth) only for people making over $400k. Closes the mega backdoor (https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Mega-backdoor_Roth) for everybody.

Just a nit-pick of your analysis. The proposed legislation closes both the megabackdoor Roth (employee after-tax contributions) and backdoor Roth (prohibition on IRA contributions from being converted) regardless of income level:

"Furthermore, this section prohibits all employee after-tax contributions in qualified plans and prohibits after-tax IRA contributions from being converted to Roth regardless of income level"

...which, depending on what you consider a tax increase, appears to run contrary to President Biden's promise to not increase taxes for anyone making less than $400K. This gutting of IRA conversions seems like the only piece of the pie that hurts the middle class, although arguably the upper end of the middle class who have the means to set aside more than the $19K 401(k) max per year.

It really rescued Britain from the financial mire it found itself in the mid 70s when the country was bust and had to go the IMF. It paid for the economic restructuring which was desperately needed. Dominic Sandbrook's books (Seasons in the Sun: Battle for Britain, 1974-1979 and Who Dares Wins: Britain, 1979-1982) cover this in some detail.

They're hoping that it gives it a hazmat or pesticide false flag. Pesticide false flags are extremely common even for things for which it would make no sense whatsoever. Anything that says 'filter' for example will often result in a pesticide false flag.

US economic historian here. The idea that the US government funded the construction of the first Transcontinental Railroad and Panama Canal to trade with China is very, very weird.

- 1850-1890 was a period of high protectionism, highest tariffs on imports in the US history.

- A good approximation of share of traded goods in the railroads would be the share of imports+exports in the GDP. Together, exports and imports were not more than 15% of GDP. Source: https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w4710/w4710..., Table 3.

- railroads transported a lot of agricultural products and also passengers, and were hugely profitable from that. I doubt they would recover any cost by transporting porcelain and whatever other goods China exported at the time.

- "But that answer is wrong, as can be shown by examining historical records of the time." - citation needed.

Essentially they must allow the user the option of Apple as a payment mechanism to ensure their feature is unbroken. The no lower part is that they can only discount up to whatever Apple's cut would be if they use their own payment mechanism. Related to the first point to prevent "soft disables" like setting Apple pay price at something dramatically worse that few would pay. Charging $13 through Apple and $10 through theirs ensures they get their $10 no matter the customer choice. Or they could call the volume worth the cut and charge $10 for both methods.

Setting it worse opens up effectively a "soft disable" like Apple price at $1000 and their price at $1.

If they for some reason decided to charge $1 through Apple and $1000 through their own that poor decision is no skin off Apple's nose.

I think other operating systems could also benefit from this reverse engineering work as it shows how to create the drivers needed.

If Apple had provided a bunch of binary blobs for Linux, that would have been great - for Linux only.

It will be ironic if the mac mini becomes the most open hardware platform for alternative systems.
That's because R's core purpose is reproducible analysis and visualization. Sure, there are frameworks for ML (tidymodels) and API building (plumber) but those are either recent or not as good as in other languages. But just as Wes McKinney took R's dataframe type to create Python pandas, the Python community will eventually catch up on Viz as well.

What kind of server configuration error could cause this level of leak unless there was already a ton of other security flaws already?

Like they managed to expose their server to a public network? But why was all this info stored just there?

Why was there no auth? Does this mean that every twitch employee has access to all this content at all times? Surely that's a flaw itself.

If this was a flaw on a single server, they really need to reevaluate how they handle security, because a single hole shouldn't be this devastating.

I'll post that with an asterisk that I was at Sony when the Sony hack happened. If Sony had this level of separation, things could have been significantly worse (and that was already pretty terrible)

Your still thinking of the grid as a uniform entity. There are regular local surpluses with insufficient capacity to move that power to customers.

Again depends on location.

A dam bursting can cause mass fatalities, it's definitely a lot more severe than a minor inconvenience.

And the alternative to nuclear at the moment isn't really solar or hydropower (most places aren't suitable for it) but rather coal and gas. And those are continually polluting the environment not just with CO2 but also carcinogens and other pollutants.

Of that list of accidents only Chernobyl is still uninhabitable, so it's hardly "literal millennia"

Three Mile Island didn't even kill anyone and many believe neither did Fukushima.
This is tricky. The de facto metric to evaluate an ASR model is Word Error Rate (WER). But results can vary widely depending on the pre-processing that's done (or not done) to transcription text before calculating a WER.

For example if you take the WER of "I live in New York" and "i live in new york" the WER would be 60% because you're comparing a capitalized version vs an uncapitalized version.

This is why public WER results vary so widely.

We publish our own WER results and normalize the human and automatic transcription text as much as possible to get as close to "true" numbers as possible. But in reality, we see a lot of people comparing ASR services simply by doing diffs of transcripts.
The income has not been taxed. Thiel purchased securities inside the Roth IRA, and they gained value. Being inside a Roth protects those gains from being taxed. Roth IRAs were not intended to allow unlimited (or even "huge") gains to remain untaxed, which is why they had a low contribution limit.

What Thiel did was (and is) not illegal, but it is viewed as an abuse of the intent of a Roth IRA that (some in) Congress want to restrict in the future.
What's New in Java 19: The end of Kotlin? by Jake Wharton (2019) [video]
Realistically, decommissioning a 4 decade old plant that has been neglected and is built in a earthquake prone location is probably the right choice. The real mistake is that over those 4 decades California didn't continue to build more Nuclear plants. They started decommissioning the plant a decade ago, long after climate change was known to the public, and at the very least at that point it should have been obvious that they should start to build more.

I can't believe ruby red Tennessee is the only state to have finished a new Nuclear plant in almost three decades.
Why is everyone so caught up with the definition of "school shooting", and why isn't anyone providing any sources to back up their own personal definitions of what it means? The links below are the top 3 results when I googled "school shooting definition", and they all boil down to "a shooting that happened at a school."

https://www.britannica.com/topic/school-shooting

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_shooting

https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-20-455.pdf

I ask this in good faith: why does the definition have to be so specific? What is the problem with defining a "school shooting" as "a shooting that happened at a school"?
I had to look the last one up:

> The Kyshtym disaster, sometimes referred to as the Mayak disaster or Ozyorsk disaster in newer sources, was a radioactive contamination accident that occurred on 29 September 1957 at Mayak, a plutonium production site for nuclear weapons and nuclear fuel reprocessing plant located in the closed city of Chelyabinsk-40 (now Ozyorsk) in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union

So it's even less related to this nuclear power plant than Chernobyl. The only incident vaguely relatable is Fukushima, and guess what, they weren't really up to the required security standards and it took an enormous earthquake and tsunami to do actual damage, which is still very limited and resulted in less deaths than what, a month of a coal power plant?

I suppose the author could sell from their own website using a code, thereby registering the sale. They could also sell from e.g ebay/amazon etc via the same method: generating a code.

So long as sales are via the publishers website, they can absolutely defraud the author, but such is the case for the sale of any digital good.

I guess you could setup a "registration" scheme (e.g. to sub to errata) whereby readers need to supply their purchase code, which would reveal extra/double sells.
What offended me most about the $100 is that when Apple replied to 'Hey!' email they explicitly mentioned they had never charged Hey a penny for distributing their app on the App Store.

Politicians are as untrusted by the public as the media is, and they work together constantly. Sometimes politicians what you to believe everything you read, because the people that whiteboarded out then slipped the story into the media are working for the people who are funding that politician. That politician is going to quote that editorial to excuse their awful vote in support of something their biggest donor wants passed.
No, you can’t. But you also can’t stop someone from screenshotting everything you do online.

The reality is that most people don’t have hardcore enemies that go out of their way to do things like that. And if you do, you ideally would have them blocked anyway.

Regardless, not posting totally publicly is becoming the norm now anyway. Posting in some kind of context limits the danger of this level of malicious snooping.
