I wouldn't trust this. Speaking as a resident of Austin, there's several OG Austinites that are mad about all the change. Sounds like FUD to me. Point to a source please!

This doesn’t make sense. You’re saying that adding a cost (taxes) makes the total cost lower. The opposite is true. If you live in California and rent, there is no reason to expect that raising property taxes would make rent go down. Any portion of any cost structure can be passed to any participant in a transaction. All dollars are completely fungible. There is no reason to expect that additional land taxes would not be completely borne by tenants.
My father became the maintenance man for an inner-city homeless mission after he retired. It was a great choice that gave him a purpose and got him out of the house. When he finally decided that it was time to quit (at 78), the manager told him he had to give two weeks' notice. Dad replied that he was a volunteer.

Smart man. I'll be following his example.
It is also possible that people who answered got the interpretation wrong.
Politics is so toxic. Politicians do not represent your interests, they represent the interests of themselves. I live in Chicago, a Democratic city in a democratic state and the people here value freedom to choose their own lives, to not have lockdowns, to cheer for the oppression of fellow citizens is not in the interest of anyone I am in favor of.

What morals do you stand for when oppressing people’s individuality under the guise of any political reason? You wouldn’t cheer for others forcing your actions, would you?
This is also the second time it's shown up in recent memory, and has to be at least the fourth time I've seen it on HN overall.
But California makes up for it with other taxes where Texas does not.
Obviously Tesla corporate won’t be pushing for a shift in Texas politics. But I would guess the majority of people Tesla would bring to Texas to fill their roles would support a more liberal version of Texas. I think that’s what OP was saying.
lol are you serious? Google "tesla ZEV credits". and CAEATFA has landed it over $225MM worth in write offs.
> The first problem was that they broke my configuration file with every release.

This is the same reason I gave up on AwesomeWM—sometimes things would break and it would take a long time for me to figure out how to fix them.

Nowadays I use i3 as well. Sometimes I do wish the configuration language was more powerful, but I value the stability a lot more.
Checkout pop she by system76. They call it a tiling vm but it's just a gnome extension. It's got full mouse support so you can memorize the high-frequency shortcuts and use your mouse for the long tail.
I disagree, I think the influence of tech companies along with the wealth and power it brings make thinking about this problem with the sole dimension of private vs public entity obsolete.

FB and other social medias are wealthier than most nations on earth. They empower users having thoughts they allow with reach as the right to publish, information to make more efficient decisions from the ease of access (think e.g. local group or marketplace). Which on the flip side means losing access is not far from being punished in a social credit system. It's roughly the same as the idea of having internet being a basic human right, depending on which country or city you're from, being banned from certain social media fundamentally impact your everyday life. Note the distinct difference between them and traditional mega corps is the network effect. Even disregarding this, I think the closer analogy is access to public forum, which is more fuzzy than implied here. See e.g. https://www.dmlp.org/book/export/html/1244 whereas in this case it's like the shopping mall example but it's not just for business.

I'm a degoogle and desocial-media person so I feel the tradeoff first hand. Ultimately we don't need them, but what it means is that the world would evolve faster than you, so to catch up you have to work harder, the opportunity cost of not using these products is high. Of course that wouldn't change my decision because I don't want to pay in the form of being a product, being stalked and manipulated. The entity I get these power from shouldn't have a fundamental conflict of interest against me.

I'm not sure about the solution tho. Following this line of though the obvious one would be having a publicly owned social media as a basic right, then private companies can compete on top of that. But then it's gonna be terrible in other aspects.
At some point I had a moment of realization that most things are meant to be used. That is, those fancy decorative soaps smell better on your hands than on the shelf, chocolates taste better in your mouth than in the box, if someone gives you a gift they want to enjoy it. Unsurprisingly I agree with the article's advice: use the things you have as soon as it's appropriate to use them. Light candles for dinner, write in the margins of your books, eat off china with silverware. This makes ordinary moments more enjoyable and more special.
it's been about a year but it was a death by a thousand papercuts kinda thing.

I want to add that I was not an experienced python developer at the time - I'd used it for a handful of simple automation scripts. My day job was writing scala.

- targeting mono under nginx on linux, from within windows was really difficult, I could never quite get it to work

- no support for monodevelop on windows - cross platform was crucial to me and it just got so onerous. And maybe it's just me, but I was really hitting a lot of frustration with visual studio.

- i wanted to use both yamlschema (broken at the time) and jsonschema (paid)

- msbuild is abysmal with useless error messages. I struggled to run a simple shell script during the build process.

- a couple of libraries I tried were broken or unmaintained. The .net ecosystem seems to have very low quality of community maintained tools.

- no clear guidance around using DAPR without paying microsoft (which i guess is fair, but being vendor locked before I even start is a rough look)

- ... and that's all I can remember. There was more.

I fully acknowledge that some, if not all, of those complaints may be self-inflicted. I can't say that, for my first complicated project in python, it's been completely smooth sailing.

However, with python/falcon, it didn't feel like I was fighting with the ecosystem to define a package, import the package into a microservice codebase, and then get the service running with full test coverage. It didn't feel like I was fighting to bring a third party library in, verify it's actively being maintained, and start using it.

I spent as much time getting a simple microservice hello world with authz/authn validation and a reasonable packaging system, in python, set up in about time as it took me to give up on msbuild.

I've found bootstrapping python microservice development on windows to be quite well supported. I didn't find that with .net.
I'd rather have mosquitoes than be blinded. The box fan idea is much more attractive.
There's a certain hilarity in the timing of this, considering Elon (Texas) and Grimes' (LA) recent break-up due to a long-distance thing not working out for them.
The appeal to education is pretty lazy and incorrect given people with PhD educations are the most likely group to be hesitant of the vaccine. [1] A huge majority of them are Democrats. [2]

I wouldn't associate PhDs with intelligence given this information.

Competent managers in technical companies managing highly skilled professionals do. The rapidly growing corporate surveillance market says that incompetent managers and companies that grind people until they burn out are still a a major force out there.
Every so often I actually consider making an ObjC library around BOOPSI and ReAction objects. One day I might actually go ahead and do it.

Apparently, MorphOS already has out of box ObjC developer support for MUI, via ObjFW. But that requires using MorphOS and MUI, which not everyone necessarily wants to do that.
Nobody says it should be ignored. You just can't take the reports at face value and use any loose connection to a condition as proof positive that the condition was present and associated with the vaccine. It's meant for identifying possible correlations for further study, not relaying the true rate of events.

People stop hundreds of DDOS attacks daily.

It's weird to demand AI safety researchers should stop working on AI safety and prove they can mitigate DDOS attacks. The two are nothing alike. A DDOS attack isn't an intelligence. DDOS protection services work largely by having more resources and infrastructure than the attackers. Anyone can do that with enough money.

They also aren't researching how to fight malicious AIs. They'd be researching how to program safe AIs. Largely the stuff discussed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_control_problem
If you think subtle signaling based on being able to have a dealership is more important than the huge tax implications, production line materials, and labor costs, you are mistaken on how mega corps are run. Follow the money. Tesla hasn't cared about dealerships ever.
Theoretically, by being in Texas they could make a strong case to lobby the legislature to change that. I believe this sort of thing was fought by Michael Dell as well, since these laws don't just affect cars.

It's also good to remember that that law was put in place because people would buy cars and there was nowhere to service them. Much of Texas is still rural to some degree.
Probably for insurance and tax purposes.
That is already implemented. Still there might be race conditions with the current implementation, didn't wanted anyone to lose any data. It's frustrating as hell to rewrite something from memory.
> C#, .NET/FCL, and the associated ecosystem doesn't feel good to work with, out of date, and in desperate need of modernization.

You must have miss dotnet Core because the modernization you're asking happened years ago.
>The ads will be different though, they'll show examples of how men, preferably white men, were being portrayed as bumbling no-good-for-nothing idiots who only survive because there are women around to help them along. It is as if the creatives had a look at those old ads and thought 'good idea, we just need to adapt it to current popular culture'.

Examples of such ads that you claim are running now?
Yes, I quite like C#, the language. That's why I put so much effort into trying to make it work - it's become one of my favorite languages!
Ask HN: Practically accepting cryptocurrency for businesses without middlemen?
What cryptocurrencies and payment processing software do you recommend for directly accepting payments from customers?

Is there an industry standard for this (or a de facto standard thereof)?

(These funds will be used to pay for business expenses that that can be settled with cryptocurrency. We do not intend to convert to traditional currency unless needed. We do not intend to hold cryptocurrency as an investment.)

Tech workers are more educated because cities are more educated and cities and colleges are always more liberal. But being “liberal” doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone. You brought up covid, lockdowns which restrict freedom is not “liberal” or liberating in any way.
This is really only the case if you had substantial deductions of some sort.

Assuming you made exactly 100k as a nice lowball you'd have owed $6947.92 in 2011 California income taxes. Harder to quickly find 2011 Austin property taxes but using todays rates without the homestead exemption you would have paid $4653 presuming you lived in Austin proper with Austin ISD taxes.

This is obvious a simplified calculation assuming basic W2 income and may very well not have applied to you, but for others reading it's nice to see some actual numbers.
How important is that? What kind of detail would you want to know? Are you afraid of misclassification or missing out on someone, or...?
Agreed, California is a disaster if you're a small company trying to hire employees. If you hire top talent, great; if you end up with poor performing and toxic employee, almost impossible to fire them without fearing a multi-million dollar lawsuit taking your entire business with it. The thing you spent many years working towards can get snitched by badapples that take advantage of California laws.

California has some of the best and smart people but the Government of California has been nothing but a disaster on all fronts - crime, cost of living, ease of business, upward mobility, public transportation, the entire gamut.
As mentioned in a different comment - mjpeg is certainly less bandwidth efficient, but it's super simple to implement - just the Python code I've posted plus an image tag.

Also, streaming protocols tend to have a number of seconds latency, which for certain types of applications isn't acceptable. That's when mjpeg might do the job because it just instantly starts blasting frames down the tubes.
> Now they are massively firing nurses who won't get vaxxed (which should be red flag in and of itself, wonder what they are seeing day to day)

Single-digit percentages in most hospital systems.

If you're evaluating vaccine safety based on the opinions of healthcare professionals, there's good news for you.

https://www.ama-assn.org/press-center/press-releases/ama-sur...

> The American Medical Association (AMA) today released a new survey (PDF) among practicing physicians that shows more than 96 percent of surveyed U.S. physicians have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19, with no significant difference in vaccination rates across regions. Of the physicians who are not yet vaccinated, an additional 45 percent do plan to get vaccinated.

(That one's pre-mandates, incidentally.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/28/nyregion/vaccine-health-c...

> As the vaccination mandate went into full effect on Monday, 92 percent of the state’s more than 650,000 hospital and nursing home workers had received at least one vaccine dose, state officials said. That was a significant increase from a week ago, when 82 percent of the state’s nursing home workers and at least 84 percent of hospital workers had received at least one dose.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/09/28/nc-hospital...

> Novant Health spokeswoman Megan Rivers told The Washington Post that more than 99 percent of the system’s roughly 35,000 employees have followed the mandatory vaccination program. She said in a statement that Novant Health was “thrilled” those who chose to be vaccinated have given patients and visitors “better protection against COVID-19 regardless of where they are in our health system.”
What's missing from this is what each OS brings to the table. It's entirely possible that they considered BeOS to not have as many desired features as NeXTStep delivered. Whatever the perceived relative value of each, I don't think it makes sense to consider them equivalent, as Apple apparently didn't. In other words, obviously $300 million wasn't too much for Apple to buy an OS for, but they seemed to consider too much to buy that OS for.
This is going to be a stupid question, and I am going to already guess an answer but I have to ask.

Given that there is a collision about to happen, isn't there a sensor that would give some type of warning? And I'm guessing that the answer to my stupid question is that a sensor would give away the position of the submarine because anything emitting a signal would defeat the point of the sub?
Time does not give you anything beneficial. Administering more doses with better tracking does. If we just waited for some years and started to use the vaccine, we would be still in similar situation.
Indeed, I've also checked it out.

No income tax, but property taxes are at least 2% of the assessed value, and sometimes 3. You'll see that on the Zillow listing.
Waaaaay back in the day, the Electro Motive Division (EMD) of General Motors make railroad locomotive. They had the GP-20 with 2000 horsepower, and the SD-24 with 2400 HP. Then General Electric entered the business with the U-25, having 2500 HP. EMD's next model was the GP-30, with (ahem) 2250 HP. This was in 1961.

So, yeah. This is nothing new. Marketers gonna market.
Just out of curiosity, why do you like it so much?
who knows at this point, at least with regard to this latest incident, but it is always a possibility, given that the navy traditionally overworks enlisted crews on subs and gives them substandard living conditions... when i was on a fast attack sub 40 yrs ago, I had to work 6 hrs on and 6 hrs off, around the clock, while underway...and during one of my 2 6 hrs shifts off, I had the opportunity to sleep in a cot where two other men also slept during their shifts...it's called hot bunking...

this all goes back centuries, back to when navy crews were often kidnapped and made virtual slaves...the navy has always been operated for the benefit of the officer class...

and nowadays we have the issue of lowered standards as well.
Moving factories and headquarters isn't fast, they've been talking about this for years. The anti-choice legislation is very recent. Also, Biden just blocked it, so the laws you don't like might even be rolled back by the time they get there.
Non-Roth 401ks can have before-tax and after-tax contributions, though I'm not certain I see the point of making after-tax contributions since the gains will be taxed at ordinary income rates (not as capital gains) when distributed and you won't be able to make withdrawals without penalty until you reach "retirement age". You might as well just open a brokerage account and invest on your own. The one selling point for after-tax 401k contributions was that you could roll them over into a Roth IRA later, but that won't be an option any more if this proposal passes. Which is too bad for anyone who was counting on a Roth IRA conversion as part of their retirement strategy.
>>For the most part they just boss around their families, driving them nuts.

Not exactly a business exec or even a rich man. I know an uncle in my extended family who retired in late 40s-ish. We are in India, he used to work abroad in the middle east. Retired, returned and turned very grumpy, holier-than-thou and bitter towards kids. Add to this a range of business failures, and ensuing financial troubles.

Eventually the problem just became too extreme and he would make things difficult for every one just for the heck of it(Just to show them he was still in control). You could visit them and see the whole home felt like every one was just walking around with dread, despair and depression just wanting an escape from all this. He also turned to religion and would lawyer his arguments from that perspective too. He eventually morphed into a very bitter, always-angry, jealous and envious man, hating anyone with a good life around him. That included people in extended family too.

Eventually kids left for good.

There is something wrong that comes to happen when a person begins to live without a purpose, work or hobbies.
maybe because they are such a bad product that you have to threaten people with losing their jobs in order to get them to take it.
>Why is there no self reflection?

>Seriously, I thought people were smart in here, but all these answers...

Shame culture is sad and pretty obnoxious. Does that a make you feel good about yourself, was that your objective? WTF do you care what people drink? Maybe do some self reflection on that.
There was a time when I knew a few screen/tmux bindings but I'm afraid that's been relegated to history. For years now I've used tmux in concern with iterm2 so everything I do is with a mouse/trackpad.

But flipping between full screen apps is probably where I need to be so I'll check it out. I appreciate the suggestion.
> C#, .NET/FCL, and the associated ecosystem doesn't feel good to work with, out of date, and in desperate need of modernization.

I recently built a company over the past year with .NET (after not using it for 5+ years) and felt the total opposite. I suspect you may be referring to the old .NET back when you needed Mono to run it on anything but Windows? .NET Core has been out for a few years and is an amazing improvement, the APIs (especially for web dev) feel very complete and modern, and there have been a lot of neat language features added in the recent major versions. The old .NET was definitely clunky though for targeting anything but Windows apps or servers.

Not sure what you are referring to for the paid products - .NET Core is now open source and even accepts PRs. Although there is no official YAML support still, so maybe the third party library was paid? JSON is a great option these days and .NET's new JSON parser is really fast and uses much less memory (Years ago C# got support for the new Span<T> and Memory<T> types which allow type-safe access to the underlying memory, making serialization operations much better since there isn't a bunch of copying and allocating involved any more)
Ah yeah, I was using core I think. Sorry, it's been a while, I kinda glazed over the acronyms and names over time. Since it was my own project, I really was trying to do things "the modern way".
Bold! Bold pushback! To use a Fawlty Towers Basil line: "Sooo .... that's all sorted out" knowing full-well it isn't. Don't know Fawlty Towers? Let's go the Monthy Python direction:

MP: "Well, it's very clean, sir"

JC: "It's certainly uncontaminated by crypto-backed dollars."

Now I enjoy American TV too but I can't think of an All-in-the-Family, Nightcourt, or Scubbs scene here. But if you know the "aaaaannnnnnnd it's gone" ... line well you can riff from there.

yes, the consequence is; those who are more easily able to accumulate the money, will still hoard and stash all the excess.

Cool. I'm excited to get another Samsung phone. Suit yourself.
> Tech workers are more educated because cities are more educated

No, knowledge workers (including tech workers) are more educated because of the specific requirements of the jobs they do.

While that type of jobs may be disproportionately concentrated in cities, the ones that are rural are still educated.
If the goal is housing workers I think anywhere with sane property tax law instead of Californian feudalism would work well.

NJ, New York, Pittsburgh: all improvements. Texas also has good tax law which is fair to newcomers but all the other stuff seems like it'd be a real drag on hiring.
This captures my feelings perfectly. To sit down in front of a macOS or windows 10 feels last century compared to swaywm
Elon personally potentially saving billions in taxes might have a lot to do with both of those ie his move and then the company's move. As an investor in the company, I am concerned about that (that this change was done to benefit one person rather than the company).

Who has had faster wage growth over the past 10 years- France or China?
Thank you, good sir. I admire the sheer simplicity of your proposed solution and the wisdom contained in it.

Since my client is coming up on a SAP R/3 to S/4 transition, which is due to complete by 2027 (a real timeline), I have informed my dear colleague, a SAP enterprise architect, of a much simpler way forward that you have suggested. Sadly and disappointingly, my colleague architect has launched into rumbling and mumbling about the business transformation being more important than the technology transition. Outrageous and completely unheard of.
