> SPAs never let you open anything in a new tab (even though they could if they bothered to implement it).

There's really nothing special about SPAs that prevent opening new tabs with middle click. All they need to do is use a href element instead of, e.g., a span with a click handler. For some inexplicable reason, gmail has opted for the latter even though most click targets update the url and navigate the user somewhere.

It just seems lazy to me.
Hi, why's your username green?
Matrix recently added a feature called 'Spaces', which is analogous to a Discord 'server':

Personally, I feel like I’ve seen just as much, if not more software I value ruined by it failing to afford to keep the lights on.
1) There are certain issues which are unlikely to receive spending due to well-known economic effects. For example: building highways and public transportation are things unlikely to be funded by individuals because they are public goods.
2) There is little evidence that the high tax rates in the middle of the century led to decreased productivity. Tax rates are marginal, meaning that more effort leads to more reward, still.

Lastly inequality as it grows more extreme is a problem in and of itself. Unless you posit that the effort put in by the top 1% has increased a lot, then what we have is a situation that seems unfair. And this is demotivating, and will lead to instability in society even more than it already has. Why would you try to push forward your society if it seems like no matter what you do, wealth inequality is just going to increase, and the top 1% are going to capture most of the rewards? It's true that it's a rising tide that floats all boats, but if some are being floated much more than others then there are issues around power that are concerning. We already see evidence that increasingly the government is less responsive to those without wealth and more responsive to those with wealth. Wealth may be a zero sum game, but power is not. If we allow wealth to concentrate, then power concentrates.
>Do trainings teach actually exclusive content?

Depends, but sually the answer is: No, they don't. Most of the knowledge was generated and released at some point. Plus, trainings teach what's safe, reliable knowledge.

Simply from that perspective, any intelligent person with enough time on their hands, and the inclination to do so can learn all relevant info by themselves.

>Do certifications actually boost my portfolio?

Yes and No.

On the one hand, good certs serve as proof that a candidate knows about a topic.

On the other hand, if a candidate has a pile of certifications, but little else, that raises a red flag for some people, because there is such a thing as "learning for the test".

I didn't even know about the book until I read the comments here, I thought it was a reference to the Grimes song. Funny coincidence the song and the engine would appear so close in time to one another.
That would be a nice feature, but for me it's not absolutely essential because my phone is nearly always on Do Not Disturb (I only let calls, SMS/iMessage and Viber through, but I still see other notifications when I pick up my phone), and even on my laptop I disabled the notification sound and just left the popup/badge on.

From my experience, certs are negatively corelate with talent unfortunately. If this is a couple MOOCs between 2 jobs on general subjects like ML, it just signals some curiosity which is good. Buy if this is a plethora of 3 to 5 letter certs right after the name it becomes rare that the person understand any first principle behind the subjects.

It probably comes from the fact that a cert is usually for a tool or something specific: for example, I want to hire someone that understands relational databases but not really someone that only knows every proprietary keyword for database X.
I think the main character can be so strong at the game by the end because of his immersion in Empire culture. The ships AI would likely be at least as strong with the same experiences. Plus, as you mention, the ships AI is not smartest AI around.

iOS doesn't have the same system as Android that fully blocks screenshots within the app, but they can obscure part of the screen when taking a screenshot.

Once you've made 100 million dollars or more, there's literally no justification for you to be allowed to keep piling up money in your safe.

I absolutely support taxing 90% on any earnings above a ridiculous threshold like that, that no one really deserves, not matter how smart or hard working, while people who happened to be born under different circumstances and might work their ass off for their whole life won't get even a tiny percentage of that no matter how hard they try.

Do you think Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos deserve wealth literally thousands of times bigger than anyone you've probably ever known personally (and I am assuming HN readers tend to know a lot of smart, incredibly hard-working people - but even they won't make a tiny fraction of a billion in their whole lives)?

If you think there needs to be an incentive for people to put in hard work into something, I would say that you just need to look at open source. People will put insane amounts of work with basically zero chance of getting anything back in return monetarily. All they want is some respect and acknowledgement of their abilities - it's enough for most of the really smart people (who can make enough money on other activities without having to amass billions to be happy).

It’s not a straw man at all. The Fed explicitly justifies QE and the rest of their monetary insanity on the basis of the “wealth effect”. They believe asset price rises will create a feeling of wealth which will generate additional spending. They know that these asset price prices disproportionately benefit a wealthy minority. This is trickle-down economics.

> 1. Should we trust the government to spend the money more wisely than the folks who earned it? Or said another way, how do you combat the almost inevitable corruption you see with large government spending?

govt could be corrupt regardless of the spending levels (industry deals, favorable laws, other bribes etc)... maybe corruption and spending are orthogonal concern?

> Would I be willing to put in the long hours and sacrifices usually required to work up to a $1m+ salary if it’s taxed at a 90% rate?

i dunno, but there are lots of working poor that work insane hours (and multiple jobs) too who wouldn't get a much more even if tax was set to zero.... probably for them, a more fair distribution (a.k.a whatever the opposite of trickle-down would be) might be more favorable choice...?
At the risk of being "that other guy", psychedelic experiences come in many different categories of experience: ranging from mere distortions of our normal, subjective state of perceiving reality, to emotional processing, ego death, out of body and spiritual experiences. There is no formula for a spiritual experience, but there have been enough accounts of mystical experiences throughout human history that point to them being quite literally "spiritual" - ephemeral, outside of or interacting with this three dimensional space we inhabit in ways difficult to comprehend, a true mystery to this physical instrument through which we filter the universe.

I think it's a mistake to think we have it all figured out just because we've had an experience that either reinforces or contradicts our per-conceived notions of what constitutes reality.

I think my psychedelic experiences mirror yours quite well, and it has led to me reaching much the same conclusion, though you've put it into words much better than I've ever been able to.

Have you ever experienced your sense of time becoming immaterial? I've had one such trip where I genuinely believed that time stopped, and I was present in some eternal plane, though my ego no longer was present. I can definitely see how such an experience could lead someone down a path of panpsychism.
Or we could just use the existing technology, which is more reliable, simpler, cheaper, requires less expensive gear, is easier to set up and maintain, can be explained to the layperson in 2-3 sentences, and offers far less chance for bad actors to abuse it.

Just because something is more complex, doesn't make it better.
>the folks who earned

It's quaint that there are people out there who believe that income at the top strata of society is primarily earned.

Those dividend payments, rents and capital gains (realized) that make up the bulk of top earner incomes happen while they sleep.

A minimum wage is earned. A doctor's wage is earned. A golden parachute after a CEO ruins a company? Somebody with a trust fund? A person living off dividend income? Not so much.

It's one in a series of ways the .1% try to rhetorically conceal themselves. Another is that article the other day that complained about an overproduction of "elites" (referring to college degreed starbucks baristas).
Media DRM is not infallible either. Sure, it's a lot more inconvenient than a feature that simply blocks screenshots, but even the most secure hardware DRM used on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video etc. is regularly cracked, the methods are just not public. (Though they usually attack Google's Widevine DRM rather than Apple's FairPlay.)
The median income and the homeownership rate, particularly outright homeownership.

I’m a mostly backend dev (I dabble in Vue), but it’s seemed to me for some time that browsers are effectively operating systems. The level of complexity of the JS/HTML/CSS troika is staggering, and the number of APIs in a browser pretty much gives you access to abstractions of the whole machine. It’s nuts!

So I have complete respect for professional front end devs. They are every bit as smart as any other developer I’ve ever met.

And then with all that they make it look good too. Something I’m apparently genetically incapable of!
> Personally, I'm curious to see a project like Mastodon or Peertube fund itself using a token

Agreed. Most of the people criticizing Web3 are underestimating the power introducing token incentives will have. "Ordinary people" just don't care enough about decentralization of data for projects like Mastodon to take off otherwise. They've been around for a while, and they're not competing with Big Tech. A Web3 platform that rewards successful content creators natively with a token and not hearts/likes might though.

I agree that "trickle-down" is usually how critics attack tax cuts for the rich.

However, we have seen several rounds of tax cuts for the rich and the language used to justify it is something like "these tax cuts will stimulate growth and that's good for everyone".

The general point of the article is that tax cuts for the rich lead to more inequality which is hard to argue with.
Well, duh. If you can't even fund enforcement for investigating wealthy tax cheats, not only is there a wealth transfer from everyone else to the wealthy via unbalanced tax burdens, it's also an indication of how deeply captured by wealthy interests out government truly is.
You seem incredibly naive. People who earn $1m+ salaries do not work long hours or make sacrifices. You will never be wealthy if this is what you think. Most CEOs that I've known are out the door well before everyone else.

Trickle-down economics didn't start with Reagan. One reference to it from 1896:

> There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that if you just legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, that their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous their prosperity will find its way up and through every class that rests upon it.[19]

See also:

> Mr. David Stockman has said that supply-side economics was merely a cover for the trickle-down approach to economic policy—what an older and less elegant generation called the horse-and-sparrow theory: 'If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows.'[33]

The point is about psychiatric colonization of making sense of things that need not be framed that way, and where that framing is not only stigmatizing, but also defends "legacy" ways of doing things against existing social power structures.

Ivan Goldberg was criticizing that in the 90s, by making that joke: look, all the things they take as "symptoms of addiction", if you transfer that to what we, we realize that these need not be symptoms at all - just a form of passionate action in something." And boy, did that backfire.

Psychiatry has a long history of being a structurally conservative field that frames the action of people as "symptomatic" when it irritates existing hegemonic social expectations; there are great texts by Erving Goffman on how psychiatric framing defends our ideas of social normality against disruption, and tends to make it "just an individual disease problem". That completely ignores social change and, more importantly, social power structures in which suffering has much deeper contextual roots than just "this person is sick". (Goffman calls this an "illegitimized state of being "away", as opposed to legitimized ones like praying or working) [0].

Literature in game studies/critical education notes that declaring teenagers "addicted" because they use the little time school and homework leaves them - later at night - to game with friends rather than sleep stigmatizes their free use of time, their social connections outside of school, and their impudence of daring to try to decide over their time themselves rather than just submit to school-ordered ideal time management ideas.[1, but German].

Ivan Goldberg was trying to fight against the internet being stigmatized in the wake of yet another technology panic, and he did it after it was invented. And without intending to, he became the unofficial father of medicalizing it.

> Indeed, the richest 10% of the world's population hold 76%, or two-thirds of all wealth.

Math is hard:-(
Bit of a giveaway to write ' demolished the myth of 'trickle-down'. I am not familiar with the authors apart from Thomas Pickety. However would one seriously expect any other conclusion from him? He and the other authors (if they inserted the word 'myth') had an agenda and naturally, produced a report validating it.This is not to say there are no serious issues with the 98% of wealth distribution. I should not use the latter word because it implies a zero sum game for wealth which is not the case. It's otherwise known as the Pie Fallacy of wealth. It's out there and greedy rich people have grabbed the lion's share. Many people still believe this.
I think this trend of preventing people from copying is worry some as:

- people might have a legal right to make copies

- it's opens up a lot of potential for abuse, as it's harder to safe proof of abuse.

- it gives people a false sense of security (e.g. when sexting)

Couldn't they instead e.g. display low resulution images for screenshots or similar?

That should be good enough for artists in my experience. (I mean there are artists which live draw the art on e.g. twitch they then sell, it works as the image quality you can easily extract is just not "good enough" for most potential buyers, and if we idk. throw AI sharpening tools at it then we could also throw tools at it which circumvent telegrams protections).
Nothing prevents anything. You could also disconnect the display and dump the raw data to capture the image.

Because they're the ones deliberately driving up the cost of COVID care, prolonging the epidemic and undermining the effectiveness of countermeasures, not smokers or big eaters.

The article makes a weird jump between pointing to global wealth inequality and claiming that this disproves trickle-down effects.

But trickle-down doesn't claim that wealth differences between rich and poor should decrease! Rather, it's about absolute gains, where poor people get higher incomes the richer other people are. (I.e. increasing wealth inequality is good if it is the rich getting richer, instead of the poor getting poorer.)

A disproof would be something like finding a lot of poor people who got poorer as everyone else around them got richer.
This is your opinion. The Fed never "explicitly" said QE was for "tricke-down".

You are equating the "wealth-effect" with "trickle down" - they are not the same.

The Fed described the wealth effect of stable home prices because people, at the time, were re-financing their homes and taking home-equity loans, which created spending.

Another "wealth-effect" are the stimulus checks. Are you suggesting those too are "trickle down".

The reality is that having more money stimulates spending. Trickle down specifically means only giving the RICH more money (traditionally in the form of tax breaks).

You comment completely conflates these two different notions.
> This new fighter would not replace the F-35, but would instead be used in place of 4th generation fighters like the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

Wasn't the whole point of the F-35 to be exactly this F-16 replacement? E.g. the F-22 was supposed to replace the F-15 as specialized air-superiority fighter, while the F-35 would replace the F-16 and F-18 as cheap all-purpose fighter). Now the F-22 is no longer produced and the F-35 is so expensive that the search for a cheaper alternative begins, and the cycle can start anew...
