It doesn't have to be Apple. There would be dozens of articles on HN front news and HN crowd would complain year after years about it.
Sorry for the late reply - yeah I was mostly talking about 2008 negative income TSLA when they only made the Tesla roadster, and no income MSFT when they made Windows 3.1 and their PE ratio was 80.

Perhaps its better to throw in some growth stocks that ended up not being particularly amazing such as WeWork, Evernote, Zynga, etc. All had low stock float, no/negative income and so were trading on emotion.
I think of this way… if I can’t solve the business needs with technology maybe I’m not so smart… it’s much harder to apply something I know then it is to know of or how something may be

Interesting, are there any Rhino mutations without horns? Conservationists are cutting Rhino's horn, in an effort to safe them from poachers, but poachers kill them anyway, because of the horn stub that is left. https://www.savetherhino.org/thorny-issues/de-horning/

> If my stock in my biotech startup goes thru the roof and i get taxed X, i could perhaps sell some stock to cover.

You don't have to unless your company is publicly traded (or has shares readily tradable in a secondary market), and your personal shares in the company are worth in excess of $1B.

> More likely, though, I will get into an installment plan with the IRS since the gains are so massive its going to be tough to sell so much stock without a discount, to pay the IRS off.

No, you don't have to do that. The law allows you to carry-forward your first payment over 5 years. That's different from a payment plan, because if the stock goes to 0 in year 3, you no longer owe anything.

So, I'd argue you are reading it incorrectly. Tim Sweeny gets a fair bit wrong, and I'd highly recommend starting with the actual legislative text (available here: https://www.finance.senate.gov/chairmans-news/wyden-unveils-...) to get more details on the law.
For now. Tomorrow is you paying capital gain on your home each year. What happen to be able to deduct inflation from capital gains?
That's a different situation.

Stock options are the same as having a cash payment, which is then immediately used to purchase the stock.

It's correct to tax stock options when they vest.

> By the time the tax bill was due, his stock was worthless

if you could not afford the tax bill with free cashflow, you need to sell to cover. Not selling means you're taking the tax debt owed, and gambling it on stocks. It sucks that your friend lost everything - often people who have vested stocks don't think about the consequences of what they're doing, and just go for the greediest (and most risky) option of holding and hoping.
More FUD. Reminder that Libertarianism is intentionally designed to use the language of Locke but come to the opposite conclusion. Libertarians are not loyal Americans, and do not believe in telling the truth in our political discussions, much like the rest of the reactionaries they pal around with.
Wow, what a strange article. A profile which attempts to paint an unrepentant serial thief and drug addict as the woeful victim. Also, I can’t imagine anything more noxiously racist than perpetuating the view that certain groups of people can’t be held to the same standards and laws as everyone else.
I wonder how many building projects use and engage acoustic engineers (unless sound is specific to the use like for theatres or conference facilities)?

I had the "opportunity" as a patient in a very new hospital wing some 7 years ago for about 13 days. While I had a private room, the door was always open to the walkway, I guess as is normal to allow quick response by medical staff. But at one point I really felt overwhelmed by all the external noise that I could hear from the other rooms in the ward, nurse stations, and so on. I really felt that the hard surfaces and even the angular nature of the floor layout was conspiring against me - almost focussing noise into my room. I imagine given enough data you could show the poorer rest of patients prolonged their recovery period and hence increased bed occupancy and cost to the health system (important in a state run public hospital service that is predominant in Australia).

As such it would be nice to think hospitals, schools, offices would include thorough acoustic assessment to at least allow appropriate mitigation of noise during design (before having invoke more active measures like soft furnishings, etc).

What's to stop individual founders from setting up their "proxy" LLCs owned by them to own their stock? As LLC would be privately owned, they'd have no stock value, and their owners could not be taxed on the gains.

If LLC company does not qualify as a "corporate investor" like Sony or Tencent (from Tim's examples), is there a structure that does?
> this has a huge practical issue of knowing what A was, which could be a while back

So why not put the burden of establishing a basis (A) on the person seeking to claim its benefit — who, in this case, is also best-positioned to gather such evidence?

Should they keep poor records, they lose the benefit of that basis, and will instead pay taxes on (B-0).
Good write-up. What I find most frightening is this is yet another attempt to expand the concept of harm in our laws.

"such recommendation materially contributed to a physical or severe emotional injury to any person."

What specifically is an 'emotional injury'? What's the legal bar for that? Does one merely need to say "I experienced trauma from reading that" and that flies? Or do I just need to go to a sympathetic doctor who can say I'm experiencing anxiety symptoms?

Any lawyers here have color on how such loose ambiguous language around subjective harms will (or currently) get handled by the courts?

> Custom verbs change the focus to the verb.

Which is often what you want - a lot of things in the real world are more easily understood through verbs than nouns, which is what the essay is all about.

REST says that everything has to be an entity, which is why so many "REST" APIs end up just exposing their database as CRUD rather than offering a vocabulary that actually makes sense for the domain. When nouns are the only important things in your domain then it works. When verbs are important in your domain it doesn't.

> it's relatively easy to ensure that the non-idempotent HTTP verbs (POST, PUT/PATCH, ignoring DELETE) can be made "repeatable" with use of etags or other unique identification.

Most "REST" APIs "in the wild" don't actually do that (or, worse, do it incorrectly), so I'd question the idea that it's actually easy in practice.

This sort of tech was really good at tracking drones. Neat thing about drones is they put off so much waste audio, rich with information.

I know very little about drones, but, in a demo I made years ago (trying to convince someone to give me money for using this in a drone defense product), I was able to "fingerprint" different drone models, even sometimes distinguish between two different drones of the same model. As long as there's line of sight, you can sometimes "see", in the data, slight changes in the speed of the propeller, as well as the rough "shape" of the drone itself.

But for all those applications, even though I love sound, I always think to myself.... "wouldn't a pair of cheap cameras do this better?" :)

> no longer there, but happy to talk if you're interested.

Thanks!
Great points.

I don't have a concrete proposal either, but can I throw some ideas?

Among the 3 branches of the Government, the judicial one is the only technocratic one. We can try to replace the Senate with another technocratic body, some sort of "Council of Elders". I'm not sure how you'd determine the qualifications, so my idea is far from fully baked.

The opposite direction would be a lottery. Juries are a form of democracy based on lottery. For example, if the House proposes a bill, instead of the Senate having to agree on it, one could subject it to some type of "trial", where you'd have a "Constitutional" judge presiding, and a jury. The judge might be a Supreme Court justice, and would have to explain various aspects of the Constitution to the jury. There would be advocates (maybe from the House?) that represent both the case for and against the law, but finally the determination whether the law should be allowed to be sent to the President for signing should be done by the jury.

Obviously this proposal has between zero and nil chances of ever becoming reality, but I think at least in theory it's not really absurd.
Storage is significantly more expensive on DO, no? Granted, the pros likely outweigh the cons.
is it really the case that parsers can't tell the greater than sign in "a, b = w < x, y > (z)" without type information? or is it simply difficult to parse for some parsers?
Nice. Node has gotten a lot faster than when I last looked apparently. In fact, I’m a bit suspicious of the benchmark they’re using.

This article gave me agita. I'm in a similar boat in that I'm planning to write my own software basically from scratch in Rust, just for the fun of it. But all of the CI stuff and S3 build artifacts and a server running a private cargo repo and a reverse proxy... it gave me serious anxiety.

I'm going to stick with a monorepo and Github Actions for as long as I can. I hope cargo workspace support improves for stuff like clippy so I don't hit the RAM problem mentioned here by the time I'll have written enough code for it to be possible. And yeah, Github Actions sucks. But it's cheap and relatively easy. And it's customizable enough for my use case as long as I'm not afraid to write some glue code when I need to... and either make that glue public or let it live inside each repo that needs it. (Please improve everything about Github Actions, Github!)
The estate tax is almost always double taxation in general. If you just save up money from working and then you die, you'll have paid income tax on that money, then you'll be taxed again on that same money under the estate tax. If you invested it and realized capital gains, you'll pay capital gains tax on those gains, then you'll be taxed on those same gains again under the estate tax. Unrealized capital gains are the exception and not the rule here.

There's nothing fundamentally wrong with "double taxation," no rule that says every dollar must be taxed exactly (or at most) once. Sales tax is also "double taxation," for example. It's a useful heuristic for determine what should and shouldn't be deductible from a particular tax base but it's not a hard-and-fast rule.
I'm a senior manager, nowhere near CTO, and I don't code anymore. It's very important that I understand the technology, that I can learn things for myself by analyzing the codebase, and that I create a culture of strong engineering, but none of these things requires writing production code on a regular basis.
I mean, if you don't use YouTube, go to any search engine or go to any news site you can avoid ads. But I'm hardpressed to think of a major website that lacks them. Then again, I block most ads, so ads could disappear from the internet and I wouldn't notice for a while.
The value prop for things like these is always the same: for the widely - and accurately, although that's irrelevant to my point - lambasted initial release to start the ten year journey down the road towards the creation of an eventual product that will make people link to comments like these the way they link to the original Dropbox Show HN: post.

There are levels of ease of which we have not yet dreamed, especially in the realm of information manipulation.
That's a huge blanket statement. Some people live under the bridge and to them even $1000 might be FU money. For the Bay Area, $1.2mil is enough for a family to scrape by if you have a house (on the way to getting paid off), otherwise that's not enough for a basic retirement and you are definitely on the hook to continue working, especially if you have (or plan to have) a family. If you say screw Bay Area and move to rural Montana, well, that's not 99% of cases.

The list of billionaire families would be very different than the list of billionaire individuals. For example, there are currently 86 Ford heirs.
> We're talking major ecosystem disruption here. We exist at the top of a very fragile web.

The vast majority of our food comes from a small number of domesticated sources which aren't all that reliant on the 'fragile web'. 50% of plant food calories come from only corn, rice, and wheat. We only eat a handful of domesticated animals and fish. Is climate change going to kill off corn? Are chickens going to go extinct?

Clearly ecosystem collapse and mass extinction would be an absolute catastrophe--but we don't hunt and gather for calories, we farm and ranch. There is no indication that climate change is going to render us unable to feed ourselves.

> We're seeing supply chain disruptions already, just from our own internal failure to get our shit together.

These supply chain disruptions have nothing to do with climate change, and to my knowledge they have not resulted in a single missed meal, let alone mass starvation. Probably because we're capable of triage--the most important stuff gets shipped first!

> Are you really so confident globalized society can shrug off flooded cities... and entire countries being rendered uninhabitable?

When Katrina hit New Orleans, a million people evacuated overnight. During the Syrian civil war, millions of refugees were willingly absorbed into Europe. This year, the US is on pace to absorb ~2 million illegal immigrants. We as a society handle flash migration events on a regular basis. The changes that will occur due to climate change won't happen overnight--they'll happen over many decades. There is no reason to assume that billions die because of mass migrations. Mass migrations happen all the time, and we handle them just fine.

> Are you really so confident globalized society can shrug off... failing crops

These changes won't happen overnight, either. People are perfectly capable of adapting to changes in climate--we've been doing it for 10,000 years. And now we have read/write access to the genomes of our staple crops!

> Are you really so confident globalized society can shrug off... dwindling fish stocks

Fish are one of many sources of protein--they're not a staple. Dwindling fish stocks and even extinctions are likely, but nobody will starve due to a lack of access to fish.

In summary, climate change will wreak havoc, sure. But the floor will not become lava overnight. We know what's coming, we have the ability to adapt, and we will.
Are there any articles similar to this, by the way? This is very useful for someone working on a game server.
Originally, "My best wishes to you and yours".
I mean, it's fair to say: "hey, where might this go in the future", but when discussing what this specific proposal is today, I'm suggesting that we have a more factually sound starting point.

Sweeny's twitter thread doesn't tell the whole story, and this comment chain has been treating it largely as fact. I wanted to add context and correct some of those points, so we can have a reasonable discussion.
Does it need to? The early Cold War also saw America having to take on the two and it succeeded by playing them against each other.
I stopped reading after this line: “You can imagine my shock when I learned that this bill was the Section 230 reform bill that the Democratic leaders on the House Energy & Commerce Committee chose to back…”

It blows my mind that after all this time that people still operate under the assumption that one political party’s representatives are somehow less stupid than the other party and are actually surprised at the realization that their preferred party representatives don’t meet their expectations. Or, which is also likely in this case, don’t actually read the bills that they vote on and support.
There are ~1T in capital gains realized every year, roughly.

If you increase long term rate from 20%, to roughly 40% (top income rate), you'll generate roughly 200B a year in additional revenue. Of course changes in tax law will alter behavior, but we can say likely 100-150B+ per year. We can assume the large majority of these gains are from those above the 1m threshold.

Facebook is doing ~60B in buybacks this year. Taxing that at 20% nets 12B a year in revenue from Facebook alone. Dollar amount of total market buybacks is much higher, obviously. So we can say this likely generates 100B+ per year.

SALT deduction alone costs 100B/year to reinstate

So how does 300-450B a year not cover a 1.5T spending bill over 10 years?

What logic are you using to assert this isn't sufficient? Or are you just writing it off without any research?
I wonder how objective/subjective were the criteria for going to the hospital. I don’t meant to make fun of it but is there a chance that fewer patients either didn’t panic or simply didn’t care enough?

Yikes.
> Also, it still has no total order

This is not true. It is defined to have the exact same ordering, bitwise, as two's complement integers. That means it has total order: the NaN is the most negative, then comes the negative numbers, then zero, and then positive numbers.
Why wouldn’t they just weatherproof their indoor kiosks? Maybe I’m just a Luddite but I don’t see why AI is necessary to tell someone to pour me a coffee and give me a total to tap a payment card against and go on with my day.
I don’t believe that people will leave the police force voluntarily, either. But I do think that, now that the idea of sizing down the police force is politically viable, more efficient policing will put extra weight behind the idea by making it harder to justify oversized personnel budgets. Obviously, if we fail to follow through with down-sizing, we run the risk of ending up with a more powerful police, no less corrupt. Well, I think we just need to take that risk and try - most meaningful social achievements require balancing two or more levers at the same time.

As I understand, though, the USA CGT rate is basically half the income tax rate, so even if they eventually pay tax on disposal to meet the loan repayments (which they don't, at least not on a 100% basis), they still pay only half the effective tax rate.
Sometimes you need a query builder but one is not available. Heck, last I checked, BigQuery didn’t even do string quoting for you.
Today, you pay property taxes based on some assessed value of your home every year, and in most municipalities, your home gained value. You're already paying tax on the gain in value of your home, what would be so different about paying tax on the gain in value of other illiquid, capital holdings?
> How are you thinking of solving this with generics?

People can now create Try or Option monads instead of returning the error.

This was the one of the reasons anti generics people were anti generics
The doc says it's actually impossible, and I'm inclined to believe so. Rust has a similar problem in their case they adopted the "turbo fish" operator, where the generic function call would take the following form:

let (a,b) = w::<x,y>(z);
'the drug has other biological properties that could quell inflammation triggered by COVID-19'

"Fluvoxamine is commonly prescribed for obsessive-compulsive disorder and acts by increasing levels of the brain chemical serotonin between nerve cells. Aside from those effects, the drug has other biological properties that could quell inflammation triggered by COVID-19, says child psychiatrist Angela Reiersen of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. She stumbled onto the idea to test fluvoxamine as a COVID-19 treatment while scouring papers during her own bout of illness early in the pandemic."

>women outnumbering men in ever-more prestigious fields is going to leave some very successful women without good matches.

I agree with your post but the quote above speaks to my original point further up the thread. The fact that this assumes that the only suitable mate is one of the same career status is part of what drivers income inequality.

Other than that, the only other proxy for attainment is income but it’s still the same story
Discussing the estate tax without mentioning how few people are even subject to it is seriously misleading, even if you're not intending to be (and I don't think you are).
Well regardless 40k is still completely livable even ignoring the tax advantages we give capital right? I'm not saying a millionaire is wrong to want more, plenty of people can and do live on the passive income generated by that amount of money
