As you know, the sale of stock is a capital account operation, so just giving the money to an employee appears to be a current expense with no offsetting current revenue. It would be like selling off a share of your future profits to make current payroll (which is what it is).

But what you are missing is that many modern companies, and especially software companies (2/3 of labor expenses are R&D), have capital that is basically IP created by their employees, and so just as it's a good idea to sell equity to buy some metal stamping machine, and this does not dilute the equity of the firm or cheat any shareholders, so it's also a good idea to sell equity to hire the person to write your application, or create a vaccine, or design a new engine, and this also does not dilute equity or hurt the company. In fact many times when key employees leave the share price of a company falls and the shareholders are more than happy to vote for boards that give stock grants to key employees that cause the company to earn more long term profits.

And ultimately this is something that GAAP just can't handle due to its antiquated distinction between labor and capital investment -- under GAAP you can't expense a labor R&D expense over a period of time. You have to take the charge all in the same year. So this gives you misleading accounting results, and this is also why savvy investors look at the non-GAAP results and then they have to use their judgement to determine whether the IP that the company's employees are creating will generate the expected long term returns. Moreover if you are such a company, it makes excellent sense to finance R&D by selling stock, and for most companies R&D is almost entirely labor compensation.

So ultimately GAAP is just out of touch with what capital investment means in the modern world - capital investment happens by paying people a lot of money to create IP for you, and not by purchasing tractors. Similarly stock analysts who view labor as purely a current expense and not an investment are also out of touch with many industries. That wont work in Biotech or Software or SpaceX or really any firm that does a lot of R&D. So let the stock market decide whether those equity sales are funding compensation that will generate the return or whether they will merely dilute -- the investors are the ones who need to price this, it can't be mechanically determined via GAAP rules designed to track the balance sheet of a 19th century coal plant.

OTOH when Apple takes an M1 from a laptop and puts it in a desktop... the performance and power are exactly the same. So it probably is fair to compare M1 Pro vs. 12900K.
I'm definitely claiming an arbitrary boycott is less than 20% as effective as a clearly principled one. I'm agnostic about whether an arbitrary boycott is completely 100% ineffective or a teeny tiny smidgen effective and I don't think that's a meaningful distinction to draw.

This wolframalpha I drew up gives the basica formula with a target income option if anyone wants to mess around with the numbers. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=100+%3D+%2826.5+*+sum+...

The .04 is withdrawal rate, 26.5k a year from 401k and ira, 6% interest after inflation. Gives 31.5 years to 100k inflation adjusted income after tax.

Riding a horse is a conversation of sorts. The horse has its own opinions on how fast it wants to go and what path it wants to take. It doesn't just blindly obey you, although you can make yourself "loud enough" to override it.

Riding a donkey, on the other hand is completely different, as you just can't make yourself "loud enough" and must always settle for a compromise.

You don't get that from a bicycle.
Or the 5th option: things continue the way they have been for the past decade of strong real GDP growth, moderate to low inflation, and rising deficits, and strong stock market, bypassing Japan stagnation. Predictions of crisis , hyperinflation, stagflation are popular but typically as far as the US is concerned, the most optimistic outcome tends to be the most probable.

Ideologies carve epistemic valleys. Cozy, beautiful places you'll never escape—because why would you try? No evidence from other places ever filters in.

You can spend your whole life walking through horizons to be sure that, so far, no, you haven't been trapped. Most people just have better things to do.

As a vendor, notifications sell more. As someone who sells things, you need to outsell your competition. Therefore, as a vendor, you need more notifications than you think.
You're correct that "when" herd immunity is achieved is an estimate. But that doesn't make the author right. The point of the article is that you can't talk about it at all -- at least, not with out so-called "broader context" to weaken the discussions -- lest you undermine her preferred public health policy.

I don't particularly care what any particular person thinks about the "herd immunity threshold". I don't really think it's a useful discussion, as a single number (i.e. "herd immunity" has probably been achieved and lost locally multiple times over the course of the pandemic). But the suggestion that anyone who dares make a prediction about it should be scolded for being an apostate is a steaming pile of anti-intellectual bunkus.

And frankly, if someone disagrees with the author's preferred public health dictates, they should be allowed to talk about that too. I missed the memo where we made her judge and jury for scientific discourse.
Traditional systems don't offer the same guarantees, do they?
It does sound suspicious, but it works out. Let's say you have $100k to invest, have a 30% tax rate, and your investment will give you a 2x return by the time you're ready to withdraw.

Pre-tax investment: Invest $100k and it becomes $200k. You pay $60k in taxes and end up with $140k.
Post-tax investment: You pay $30k in taxes and invest $70k. That $70k becomes $140k.
In the US, with a Roth, if you start withdrawing at 59 1/2 the earnings are not taxed. If you contribute $100,000 (after tax) the Roth and it grows to $300,000 you can withdraw the $200,000 earning tax free. (you can also withdraw your contributions tax free of course.) So that matters.
[edit: the account has to have been open for 5 or more years.]
From my understanding, this is not correct. 401K contributions reduce your marginal tax rate. So if you make 100k and contribute 15k, you save about 24% in taxes. Then when you withdraw 100k a year during retirement, you pay only 18% in taxes.

On top of that, since you are only feeling a 11k reduction in your paycheck per year, but investing 15k, you end up with that much higher growth overall starting with a higher base.

The only time expected retirement withdraw rate (treated as income at that time) matters is when choosing between Roth and traditional 401k / IRAs. In that case, with Roth you are contributing a lower amount initially (11k reduction in pay = 11k invested, instead of 15k invested), however the interest grows tax free. So if you are investing enough that the interest gives you a huge amount of money during retirement such that your annual retirement income (using 4% rule) gives you much higher pay, you would be better with Roth. But in no case are you better without any tax advantaged account.
I believe you still have to do some "cross-referencing, and coupling HTML elements to CSS classes" when using tailwind. The naming and creation of those classes is what the framework provides.

I once had a CVE RSS feed, but it was mostly noise even after I filtered it to only tools/libraries we used.
Unpopular opinion: Aluminum Unibody is worst for ergonomics. I prefer plastics.
So whales poop krill which feeds algae which feeds krill.
Add in sunlight and saltwater microorganisms and I guess it’s possible that whales eating then shitting krill = even more krill.
But like so many complex systems it’s hard to draw any conclusions.
Whales are beautiful creatures and it would be great if the oceans were so full of them again!
Thanks for that. I don’t watch many YouTube videos but when I do, I usually use youtube-dl as provided by the Debian Testing package. I wasn’t aware of the yt-dlp project¹ and I’d been wondering why the video downloads were so slow over the past few weeks.

That sounds good in theory. But if you're working with a more-than-30-year-old tool, you're either:

1. Missing out on "new innovations" (and using older gui/etc paradigms which don't mesh with anything else you are used to).

2. Finding ways to update your tool to take advantage of "new innovations", which costs time, and often gives you a worse outcome.

I was a vim user for 8 years, then used spacemacs for another 2, but have lately switched to VSCode (with vim mode, obviously). The ease of just downloading vscode and having it work with almost no tinkering, having it look good, and being able to, for the most part, double-click an extension name if I need it... that ease of use means that whatever learning curve I do have to pay sometimes, it's worth it.

(And the learning curve for making VSCode have the vim/emacs features I need was tiny compared to managing my vim/emacs config).

It's funny because I was asked by someone else why such an aggressive rate of return!

Just went off numbers in my head, I think there's lots of % people talk about, and 7% is what I've got stamped in my brain about expected return of an S&P 500 ETF over a long period. Might be wrong, but that's the number I use for napkin math.
Thanks, that's a really clear answer. Now it's got me scratching my head. I like not having to make a lot of decisions, hence my affinity toward BS. But TW might be worth a spin.
What debate do you want exactly? Two scientists at podiums yelling at each other? Nobody's stopping anyone from making the lab leak case and several people have published their best cases for it.
If this is yet another Russian based attack, I would think it’s about time for political pressure to be applied to backbone operators to disconnect from any entity connecting to Russia.
I’m not sure how you could’ve reached that conclusion after what I wrote but it’s valid advice nonetheless. I do all of those things and more, including tutoring other people and acting as a teaching assistant at my school, plus I wanted to do this before knowing about money or status. However, reading over my post I see that it’s painfully whin y, that time could’ve been spent better. The reality is more likely that I’m not cut out for it, or other things are holding me back and I have resolved to not think about the things written here and work harder.

This is the main reason I changed and do most of my work in Emacs, keyboard only. Using it in terminal is a bit of a bonus. Onivim2 seems promising in bridging the gap, but we'll see.
I tried Conversations (admittedly a while ago) and found it a solid meh. Its features mostly worked, but it definitely felt clunkier than AIM.
> Through eating krill and then defecating, whales release iron locked within krill back into the water, making that iron available to phytoplankton, which need it to survive.

So sounds like removing the whales has removed iron from the system permanently and it can't recover then.
Thanks, like I said I stopped at a certain point but maybe it’s time to start doing tens of applications daily. My soft skills could use some work but I am fortunate to have someone who can help me with that. This submission was mostly the product of the fact that my mentor was hired immediately out of school and I know they can’t really understand the path I’ve ended up on, really appreciate your comment because your right.

Well, I do like to live in my suburban house. At least I like it more than living in apartments in "dense neighbourhood", where I grew up. I have parks, playgrounds, a grocery store, school for my kids, convenience stores, fast food places, a pet store, a booze store, even two cannabis dispensaries in 600m radius. I have a huge tech park with tons of jobs in 10 minutes of cycling. I'm happy here. Why would I need to move anywhere? For what?
Absolutely, I would love to see a longer write up! I’m definitely in the CSS Modules camp, but with so many people saying that Tailwind is great, I feel like there has to be something there. I want to do a deep dive into it at some point and see if I can make something with it that works with my brain. It’s such a different way of approaching the problem.

As for my experience with CSS Modules, I don’t have a blog, but I’ve been thinking of starting one and writing up some of my experiences. Can’t promise anything though.
The number of software products, SaaS and on-prem, that don't support mutual tls is a disgrace.
The core issue here is that we ask governments to do too much. Governments are mediocre at doing things when they begin, and usually always end up mired in corruption and bureaucracy later on. This is just another example of that.

Private organizations have their own failings, but at least when they fail they can be penalized or go bankrupt. There is no mechanism like bankruptcy for the government and so we are stuck with an agency forever once it is started.
Is this something you're putting forth as not having a probability around 50%?
But a $100k Roth contribution would have been a larger pre-tax contribution (maybe $130k or so). That would have compounded to be larger than $300k all things being equal. If you do the math on it as long as your tax rate is the same in retirement there's no difference between traditional vs Roth.
> They are the de-facto standard in DevOps tooling

Im in cloud automation 8+ years. No they are not de-facto standard. For AWS projects, I much prefer Cloudformation. App devs use venv or similar, not Vagrant.

I’d use their CI/CD if they had one, like GitLab, but looks like they don’t?
> The entire idea of a "fact" is flawed.

No, we have a lot of facts. Science is the art of creating models based on facts. Those models aren't facts however which is the misconception.
"My" consoles growing up were the NES and the Odyssey2. I had an NES, my grandparents had an NES and an Odyssey2. Where everyone else has one or another Atari as their blocky-graphics early console, I've got the Odyssey2.

Man, those joysticks were something. I remember my favorite games were one that was probably intended to feel like shooting at TIE fighters with a quad cannon turret on the Millennium Falcon (the sprites even looked about as close to TIE fighters as they could get, without getting sued) and the basketball game. I think I played whatever version or port of Space Invaders the console had quite a bit, too. I vaguely remember some carts that used the built-in keyboard for more than just mode selecting, but can't recall what they were.

We are talking about two different things. I don't mean that there weren't any football games and thus nothing interesting happened.

If you look at a timeline, you might see:

- 3.5 bya: First prokaryote
- 2.5 bya: FIrst eukaryote
- 0.6 bya: Cambrian explosion
- 0.44 bya: First terrestrial life

All the text you see is about change. But 99.99999...% of that time, there is no such event. We write about and think about the changes, not the vast eons when nothing changes (except excruciatingly gradually). After the Cambrian Explosion, trilobytes multiplied and took over the world, but that was (I'm guessing) over millions years; if you were there, you wouldn't see a vast herd (school?) of them advancing across the landscape one day. Short of a few big extinction events (at least the K/T that killed the dinosaurs), I don't think you would notice any such change at all if you lived at any time in history. But now I'm thinking about whether one of those events could be sudden and dramatic.
The PDP-11 ISA is one of the cleanest and most orthogonal there ever was, and served as the basis for the 68K family's design. This would have made for an incredibly fun micro.

The tax increase can be for the landlords. Maybe a smart thing is to tax vacant housing and use that money to subsidize unpaid rent.

The point is to limit the risk for landlords. Maybe they will earn less on good tenants, because of taxes, but they won't hesitate as much before taking "not as good" tenants.
Wow that is going to be hard to beat. Each post just keeps on giving, and the interactive figures are incredible
It's like git. You can get by for a while but when anything out of ordinary happens your understanding needs to go from 2% to 95% very quick. With apps that are really good at package management I fail to see need of docker. Ie node, and go lang.

this reminds of a recent story I heard about on my favorite podcast (last podcast on the left - true crime, ufo, conspiracy, something for everyone) about an Aussie with the legit last name of assman, he was denied for a license plate with basically the exact same response as the one you see in these comms.
Except for facts of the subjective experience of sense data, empiricism (including science) doesn’t deal in facts, it deals in contingent conclusions drawn from models adopted to explain the relationships between facts (in the narrow domain admitted previously.)

You can be obese and malnourished. I would imagine most obese people aren't getting the correct nutrition, that is why they continue to eat after they have had enough calories.

You shouldn't need to "control" yourself around food, your should just eat what you crave and stop when you are satisfied, but the increase of processed food and obesity rates show this is currently not the way it works anymore.

The problem is not too much nutrition, but too much nutrient lacking food
Except there are a lot of ways to change what is taxable in the US: 401h, HSA, FSA, etc.
PDP11's were pretty great machines. Using RSTS/E (resource sharing time sharing... Eeeee!) you could really stretch things out.

The process memory was limited to 32kb (maybe 64kb... can't recall) and the OS's executable system supported seamless overlays. Basically as needed the OS would swap in different code segments (min 4k?). With careful planning you could build some pretty big applications... so long as you could get descent separation. You *could* swap overlays over and over and over... but this would kill any sort of performance... best to swap in a "AR" overlay, and when the user switches to "GL" swap that overlay in.

The machine language was also pretty nice. Several addressing modes were program counter relative which was amazing (eg. JMP to 1500 words from current PC) . When I first learned that that windows loads an executable and then goes through and fixes up memory addresses so JMP instructions (et al) would work I could hardly believe it. If only the x86's had decent support for a PC relative addressing mode :)

Some in the SS13 community hold a strongly negative opinion about Sseth's video, since it appears to give the wrong impression of the game as a sandbox where you can do anything. In contrast, the most popular servers have a strict set of rules for what kind of behavior is appropriate, and randomly killing people for non-roleplaying purposes is a bannable offense. Regardless, the increase in attention to the game caused a lot of new players with no intention of following the rules to flood the servers, lowering the quality of the playerbase. (Sseth himself acknowledges in the video that the veteran players will blame him for the ensuing problems.)
Today is launch date. It's natural that there are less stocks (and only scalpers remain). I tend to see Ryzen scalped than Intel, partially thanks to Intel makes massive amount of CPUs.
I assumed that every store has been doing this for years. One of the major complaints of iOS 13 (or maybe 12?) was that it by default it automatically enabled Bluetooth every morning even when you manually disabled it.
My company self-hosts Gitlab, but our instance is inside of our internal network, with no access to the internet, in or out, and almost no access to the corporate network, in or out. Every net/host and port is whitelisted, every change is documented and challenged (do you really need this port?), and you need to use 2FA to access it via HTTP or SSH.

Suffice to say, we fall under "insanely paranoid".
