> The lowest paid already pay effectively no taxes and your suggestion is to have them pay less?

Yes. I believe that being poor is miserable and that we should make the lives of our fellow citizens less miserable. I don’t see any need not to attach strings to it either. There’s nothing morally wrong with saying you have to be a net tax payer to vote, for example.

> Do you understand the incentives you're creating when you have only a small minority of productive people subsidize everyone else?

It’s not a small minority though. A small minority of people make the most money but something near a majority of people who work for money are net tax payers over their life. The magnitude of their contribution varies enormously but I’d be shocked if most people who work 30 years or more aren’t net tax payers.
Looking forward to testing this
Yeah there’s always a difference between how the world actually works and how each of us think it should work. The advice here is for the reality-based contingent who want to minimize their tax obligation. For the rest there’s Cryptoland.

Which kind of bank transfer are you talking about? A few days ago I got paid through ACH transfer and the transaction took 2 business days to execute, albeit with no transaction fees. Now I'm at the mercy of the bank regarding what I can do with that money.

Compare that with using something like UST (Terra), which took only ~1 minute with a fixed fee of ~1 UST for a similar transaction. I also have total control over my money.
A little out of topic. We (dyvenia) are not in SF but we hire only hybrid roles in Krakow with min 2 days of office work. While this might not help you, I just wanted to say that to us full remote doesn't work, especially in a time where senior skills are lacking and we hire people at the beginning of their carriers. We do a lot of training internally to bring people up to speed. I think the 100% remote dynamic, which is very strong in Poland in IT, is going to be problematic for a lot of people, especially those still in the early development of their skills or, and this makes me even more sad, for those looking to transition into IT from other paths like Finance or Engineering.

> dust kicked up by landings or man-made impacts isn't really a problem that warrants concern

In general no. With regards to other human people and hardware that might be on or near the moon when it's kicked up, it definitely is a concern.

NASA once calculated, "when a rocket lands on the moon, or launches, how far can the kicked-up dust travel?". And got the answer "everywhere on the moon is in range. Some dust will also escape the moon."

What are your pros and cons of using Hugo?
It has been frustrating 60 hours moving a site to Hugo from Jekyll. The documentation is unusable for a beginner and the docs are so interlinked it is like going down a rabbit hole.
Yes, exactly. You need only look at the angles of the crenellated roof of the tower on the left.

While the kinds of photographic manipulations that the article ends up discussing are technically and artistically interesting, almost everything else discussed seems to be based on a fundamental misapprehension about what is really going on.
The US is one of only two countries that taxes based on citizenship.

Double taxation would only happen if you had to pay taxes to a foreign country and the US. If you plan to work or earn income abroad as a US citizen it would be wise to choose a country that has tax reciprocity with the US, to avoid double taxation. That would include most countries that would be on the list of places worth renouncing US citizenship for.
I get that point and i disagree because it makes two assumptions:

1. That you need to replicate Qt to have the same or equivalent features for a GUI toolkit (remember that what i made explicitly that Qt is more than just a GUI toolkit) or you will not have the same features at all

2. That you will "hit" said missing feature

None of these have to do anything with making a GUI library though. #1 is especially questionable since even if you need the non-GUI functionality Qt provides, it might be something the language already has (remember that this is about other languages aside from C and C++) and/or you may even find a separate library that provides such functionality.

And yes, inertia and image does affect A LOT. People do choose projects only because of the perceived safety of those projects from being used by other people. This is why regardless of features, many people stick or flock to languages/libraries/frameworks/etc for their communities and "community" or "ecosystem" is a common concern about something new. This is something you can see often in Hacker News posts too.

QtCreator does a tiny fraction of what Intellij is capable of though. Also, clion is not nearly as used as intellij, which is (only slightly arguably ) the best ide hands down for java and many other languages.
DC is also used because you avoid grid synchronization issues, and this is generally the trend for long distance connects now in general. It means the grids can have frequency divergence without affecting the transmission line itself.

Yeah, while some designs have softened a bit seems like in a lot of the great sites the classic Japanese design remains.

In the C2C second hand market, Mercari is a somewhat modernized design: https://jp.mercari.com/ while the classic Kakaku is a great info dump that I love specially because it isn't banner heavy: https://kakaku.com/

The thing I hated from a lot of Japanese web sites is they relied a lot in images for formatting and lay out, and put a lot of text in those images, difficulting the reading or translation of those sites for foreigns and people with visual impairment.

But also Yahoo is quite different there ( https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp https://www.yahoo.co.jp/ ) and major electronics retailers still keep very dense designs ( https://www.biccamera.com/bc/main/ https://www.yodobashi.com/ )
Article 41 explains how the UN Security Council can impose sanctions and encourage other UN Member States to follow suit. There is no obligation for states to sanction another state via the UNSC - sanctions can be imposed by a state without passing through the UNSC.
> Our free will is demonstrated by our ability to consciously choose whether and how to act when presented with thoughts and emotions.

This is nonsensical, because choice is a thought before it is an action, and we accept that we do not control the comings and goings of our own thoughts.
I agree with you on general basis, but in this case it seems that Stripe provides a dashboard containing key data. It's not unreasonable to expect that critical payment failures would be displayed as well.

It's always a risk to make assumptions, but I don't think this specific assumption was unreasonable.
That doesn't say anything about a country not being able to sanction a country on it's own, and nothing about companies withholding services.

I had a similar feeling of terror as a kid, thinking about death and eternity one night in bed and suddenly experiencing terror. The best way I could describe it was this vast eternal concept of nothingness forever that scared me with the immensity of infinity. In a way I’m kinda grateful for that experience now as it’s led me down a path of learning about meditation and eventually a lot of the things described in this thread.

Here’s something you might like to ponder as an alternative perspective (though I can imagine there’s fear of going back there).

What would be the implication if the passage of time is only an illusion created by memory? What if every moment in our lives is experienced simultaneously, but it only appears to move forwards because we experience each of those moments individually - each containing some memory of moments before. After all it’s not possible to experience any other moment than this one, right now, so we don’t have any subjective evidence that we (as awareness) even experience anything other than a single moment.

In other words, even if awareness persists outside death, when memory dies with the brain how can there be any perception of time - what would it even be that experiences eternity?
Get a driver’s license and an address in a state with no income tax: Washington, Nevada, Texas, Florida, etc. It’s not hard to do but you need to plan a little bit if you want to move overseas long enough that the FEIE will kick in.

Some states hold on to former residents harder than others: California and Virginia are notorious for trying to continue taxing people who leave. How you deal with this will depend on individual circumstances. Get professional tax advice if you expect problems with state tax authorities.

Email just sounds like a regular service. Separate SMTP servers where you encapsulate all of your logic of email dispatch frequency, retries, etc has been pretty standard for a long time.

You can encapsulate and put stuff behind an interface with libraries too. This is not the value proposition of microservices.

The word "agency" is important there ...

There have been experiments on split brain patients (where there Corpus Callosum has been severed, so their two hemispheres no longer communicate), that seem to imply that the self is more of a way of monitoring and understanding what's going on and tying it all together.

For example, asking the subject, whispered in one ear, so only one hemisphere receives the request - "can you get me a can of Coke from the vending machine please, I'm really thirsty". Then when the subject returns, asking the other ear (and hence the other hemisphere) "why did you get that can?" - to which the subject replied "I thought I would need a drink on my way home" - in effect filling in an explanation for the "black box" behaviour their body was expressing.
This was an interesting idea. It just strikes me that there is no reference to any of the earlier ideas in extending the xNix terminal/command-line interface.

ISTM that there is or are lots more relevant things to the general concept of "let's extend the shell to that it makes intelligent use of graphics, pointing-device input and so on" such as Symbolics OpenGenera, and come to that, Interlisp, but then you disappear down pathways (Wirthian languages, Lisps etc.) that tend to turn off xNix folks.
> to consciousness they suddenly appear, but it was still my brain that formed them, so me.

Interesting philosophical position! I've rarely seen that position be held in earnest, because the obvious consequence is that you should be held fully responsible for anything possibly criminal you do while sleepwalking, as it was still on your brain's orders, regardless of your state of consciousness.

Ask HN: How do you repair your personal C? Advice on thermal paste?
There are issues with my only work-suitable notebook, like the crackling sound from the cooler fan upon boot-up, occasional overheats on moderate-to-high RAM/CPU loads (at [1] more detailed description). This HP laptop has just 3 years of moderate usage. Can you advise on should I replace the CPU thermal paste?

Tangentially, I was also curious whether a thermal paste can also be electroconductive if used not as intended. Can a thermal paste, especially on copper or metal oxide basis, also be electroconductive?

"If I meditate then after physical exercise when my body is full of happiness hormones giving me a nice cool-down. "

Yup, that is a good combination. And if you do sports in nature, you might find good spots to calm down in between. Being next to moving water I found helpful, or atop on some mountain with the wind.

>A federal law addresses individuals like Thompson, known as “recalcitrant witnesses”. The law holds that 18 months is generally the limit for jail time for contempt of court orders. But a federal appeals court last year rejected Thompson’s argument that that law applies to him.

>Thompson hasn’t just refused to answer questions, the court ruled: he’s also violated the requirement that he “assist” the parties by refusing to execute a limited power of attorney to allow that Belizean trust to be examined, as required under his plea deal.

>“The order isn’t intended to solely seek information, it’s to seek information for the purposes of recovering these unique assets,” said Andrew Geronimo, a law professor and legal analyst, and director of Case Western University’s First Amendment Clinic.

Sounds like he is in there for good. Anyone from the US heard of anything similar? Its really hard to wrap your head around that not complying with a plea deal can get you thrown away in definitively. Plus a thousand dollar a day in costs. As far as i can tell even grand juries can only get you for 18 months

This only holds if only one member of the team is remote, which is often enough not the case. This is also moving the goalposts.

deanCommie's argument was around a choice of living arrangements based on the idea that work would happen at the office, and there not being any space for work at home, so a purely logistical one.

Coordination between on-site and remote workers is a separate issue, though I agree it is absolutely important.

> People who prefer "in-office" work would rather make the effort of commuting so that they do not have to deal with that. So they expect the other people in their team to do the same, otherwise there is little to no point.

I guess it works both ways. People who prefer "from home" would rather make the effort of communicating by text / visio so that they don't have to deal with the commute.

>If someone is going to work harder for something they simply deserve it

What if they only know to work harder for something because of their privilege? Plenty of groups, due to lack of privilege, simply don't believe - because it hasn't applied to their cultures in the past - that hard work yields rewards.

Imagine a slave. What incentive does a slave have to work harder? Why would a person from a culture that's backgrounded in slavery believe in hard work?

Kind of, but it is done separately from regular indexing, at a much lower volume and it is filled with loads of gotchas [1] that can make Googlebot skip your site.

In practice, what happens is Google spends their JS rendering resources on the top sites and will very rarely render a new site. Generally, assuming you stay clear of all the gotchas, Googlebot can eventually "see" your JS-rendered content but it will certainly take a lot longer to be indexed and, therefore, it will take longer to appear in search results. If you or your clients rely on organic search traffic for your site, then picking client rendering based tech is certainly a bad decision.

Underwater power cables can be designed to have zero electrical and zero magnetic fields emitted from them. Typically that's done by using a grounding shield (which eliminates electrical fields), and by making sure currents in all directions are balanced (eliminating magnetic fields).

As far as I'm aware, nearly all modern high capacity cables are built this way already.

It's only old stuff (which tries to use the earth as a conductor) or low capacity stuff (which is sometimes AC and not well balanced) where this isn't true.
