The "money" the very wealthy have is not cash sitting in a checking account but usually shares in some corporation. That absolutely has utility if you want to continue having a say in how your company is run. Besides, should the government come around and check for any property that it deems you're not sufficiently utilizing and confiscate it from you? It seems like that policy could be abused.

The government already controls a budget in the trillions of dollars - several orders of magnitude more than any private entity - and so far has not used it to meet basic needs like housing. What is the evidence that giving them additional money will solve the problem? It doesn't cost anything to relax zoning laws and let people build more housing.
> no one was using tables

2012 was not very far away from the end of table layouts. After all tables were ditched as a layout tool only because they were hardly responsive and a number of people were starting to browse the web on their phones.

The most popular HTML/CSS framwork (Bootstrap) is from the end of 2011. I'm still maintaining an inherited project that I was sure it is using Bootstrap (because, what else?) until I really looked into it (we've not been making changes the the UI for ages) and horror! it's some custom non responsive div based grid layout. I checked the date of the first commits, beginning of 2011. Tough luck.
- Most transactions are read-only

- "Large" applications can usually be sharded by account. This means 1 file per account, and can easily be put on the most optimal geolocation of the account

- If you defer locking until commit, allowing multiple writers ( https://www.sqlite.org/cgi/src/doc/begin-concurrent/doc/begi... ). This is good enough for most applications anayway.

- Sqlite simple, fast enough for almost anything, supports a good set of features and datatypes, is very easy to embed.
It can, if you sign a hash of the previous node(s) with the contents of the new message. git with signed commits is like this.

Most firealarms I know have a button that switches of the activated sound when longpressed. I also do not know smoke detectors without removable battery (outside of wired ones).

A deactivation button is different from an power switch where the thing is off when the switch is in the wrong position. And if you don't notice people die. I didn't check the ISO norms on smoke detectors but I would be surprised if power switches wouldn't be explicitly forbidden in those norms.

And sure you can get a detector that doesn't conform to the norm, but then the insurance won't pay in case of a fire.

I'm convinced that keeping track if your employee is visibly working or not is so fundamentally wrong. Especially in an office setting.

>I am a socialist where governments are efficient, liberatarian where governments are dysfunctional.

At first glance this position seems reasonable, but ultimately it's short sighted - the game is iterative. Penalizing the public coffer ultimately results in higher costs over the long run as high ROI investments are left on the planning table.

Ask HN: Recommend me tools to help maintain my environment
Hi,

I am currently working partly remotely and partly from home. Both in the office and at home I have a Linux desktop. In preparation for this configuration, I have gather up my dotfiles, and created Ansible scripts that have allowed me to get up and running quickly on both environments. However, time is passing and I see these environments slowly diverging. I don't want to apply every change to Ansible manually. I also do not want to always start the day by checking my git repositories if I did not make a small modification to dotfiles yesterday. I am looking for tools, scripts that will help me maintain my environments.
I work for a company distributed across the world with ~200 users in our 'watercooler' channel. I can't think of a better alternative to Slack that would enable everyone to stay in touch and feel part of a community. Email, forums, or — god forbid — enormous video chats would be overkill.
Personally, I blame the rise of paid shills for the rise of accusations of being a paid shill.

It's hard work imagining what mental gymnastics people do to rationalize a career spreading lies. Not so much the people who desperately take the job of repeating them, but the people who strategize around what they can get the public to believe.
I believe the question has merit and I cannot really understand it myself. Obviously an invasion like Crimea or not the rest of Ukraine is a hostile act and specifically directed against "western influence". That said, the relationship with Russia was far better 15 years ago, there was an idea of Russia joining NATO even. I believe the following generation of politicians and diplomats were just incompetent in building a relationship with Russia and the same is true the other way around. There might even be interests in stoking the fire of such a conflict and perhaps the revolution in Ukraine was supported by outside forces. Or maybe Russia just suspects as much. Contrary to popular belief states aren't all-knowing.

To be honest I wouldn't have expected Russia to invade further but it shows how much the relationship has degraded in the last decade.
It's weird to see "large messages" as a code smell. I'd say it's more of a thing to be aware about if you use any BEAM-based language: that's just how the runtime works.

But, if you're constantly sending large messages between processes, that might be a sign that those two processes are not as independent as you though, and it might be good to think if there's a way to merge them into a single process.

Another option might be see if you can transform those messages into ref-counter binaries, which will make sending messages quite cheap, since you're sending a single reference to the binary, instead of the whole thing. There's a tradeoff here, of course, depending on how expensive it is to transform your data into a binary, as well as increased complexity of garbage collection of these binaries.

I'm actually really interesting in this. What are the top 3 things you could change in slack / teams that would make you switch. I'll go first:

* I want to group discussions about certain things. I.e. if we are discussing a JIRA issue I can select the message and group them into something that I can attach to the issue we are discussing

* Too many private chats - I'd like to ban private chats as I find there's some great info in these which are often not shared to the group

No Dislikes has officially ruined YouTube for me
Spoiler: rant.

I don't know what happened exactly but I'm pretty sure it's the lack of dislike stats, that now my suggestions and home page of youtube is filled, and I mean FILLEDDD!, with videos that have 4k stock clips, catchy title, but completely lacking in content. Misleading 100%. Not 1, not 2, but like 8/10 videos are now garbage stock footage with bs commentary over nothing.

Example:

Nasa just discovered truth about solar system!?!?!?!

Science has progressed a lot in last 100 years....

So and so first discovered pluto in 1xxx

Mayans used to think balbala...

Some historians think....

Now scientist finally have answered....

New evidence (2014 research) shows there might be a planet ...

No explanation of study because you know it actually requires some comprehension...

Insert failed attempt at humor...

Same script, like 8th grade essay you didn't study for, but multiplied by 100x.

We knew it was gonna ruin youtube, people told youtube it was gonna ruin it, and now exactly that happened. Click baity videos with nice stock footage that is barely relevant and half assed 'answers'.
> The SEC was told by a US court that they can in fact deliver a subpoena

Wrong. They served the subpoena first; they need no permission to do that. Then SEC sued to enforce the subpoena, and the SEC prevailed in their suit.

Then Do Kwon and Terraform applied to have enforcement of the subpoena stayed by the trial court pending appeal, and failed; they then attempted to get the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to stay the subpoena pending appeal, and failed, and currently are in the process of litigating the case before the Second Circuit.

To portray this as a case where the SEC has failed (spefctacularly or otherwise) to establish jurisdiction is false.

Use case example: in a strategy game, we're implementing this format so that each weapon, skill, terrain, and unit has the chance to add patch commands during a specific part of the turn, which are then applied to a document representing the entire state of a battle. This makes it easier to handle conflicting effects and changes etc.

Yeah I called out bootstrap somewhere else in this thread having launched in 2011. It really changed the game as far as standardization of css styles. Yes there were others then too but nothing that had a market impact like bootstrap did.
Sometimes when I read these things I feel like I'm going crazy, like it sounds kinda logical at first glance but when you think about it it makes no sense. Why would destroying it automatically raise value? If demand stays and supply goes down, sure, but it's not like it's something like food or housing, which people need - why would the demand stay the same?
My proposal would be to let the community build a stdlib and after it is battle tested merge it with core PHP.

It has been proposed before to have PHP source shipped with PHP (and also the possibility mix C and PHP) and think that would be the best option.

One option could be to have slower evolved stdlib in core and a faster community version with composer.

Reason why I’m proposing to develop it outside of core is because a rfc based process is not necessarily the best approach to design a good & well functioning api (and empirically that is true).

It is better to deliver a complete stdlib (or major sub parts) as one or multiple rfc.

And by doing like this you allocate resources better, the few with knowledge about PHP internals can keep focusing on that while the community, a much larger group, can design a stdlib.

And PHP has done a lot of great work on making user land and stdlib on equal footing, so now you can implement strpos(…) to exactly match the stdlib version thanks to union types, similar argument parsing and using same type rules (type errors) between the too.

Only major thing I know of that differs when exposing an api, that is either from a PHP C extension or PHP code, is operator overloading.

A rfc proposal to add it was unfortunate declined, but I’m hopeful that on day it will be added in some form because of this reason, it ought to be possible to express the same intent regardless if it is from C or PHP.

With user land operator overloading we can implement object based primitives with methods instead of the current function based approach. And it could be possible to extend it.

Other nice things you could do is to implement safe and unsafe string handling to avoid injections.

With operator overloading the community can evolve the language without the need to evolve PHP itself.
Sanctions are almost entirely accidental / coincidental; USA and EU have wanted to probably do this since Brexit / 2016; sanctions have done nothing to deter Russian military operations in the mysterious slavic lands.

All the EU / NATO people also seem to believe two things: Russia is losing the war, Ukraine is winning the war, but however Russia is threatening Berlin in 7 days.

Part of me wishes to push what is already falling and see EU cut off energy from Russia yesterday, it's going to be hilarious seeing NSDAP and other radical political parties start autospawning all over the place when energy, producer and food prices hit record prices.

I disagree, for contextual reasons. Oxygen candles are an emergency safety supplies item for people who get serious training in industry- and facility-specific safety procedures. Notice the slant to the headings, language, photos, etc. on the page. This is very clearly not a consumer product, and phrases such as "Used as the last means of breathable air within a refuge chamber..." really don't suggest "try this at home, kids!".
A bank issues money (deposits), and stablecoins try to produce something 'money-like'. CDO tranches promise different rates of return with different riskieness, they never really acted or were meant as money substitutes.
No not really.

>So, taxation is either extortion, robbery or theft

If ultimate enforcement through violence is the only determinant of whether or not something is a crime, then the very laws that dissuade other crime, say the robbery or theft that you refer to, are themselves blackmail, extortion or some other variation of violent crime.

This circular reasoning does not hold up to scrutiny, which is why it is almost only used in respect of taxation in libertarian circles and nowhere else.
I think your comment may have finally changed my views on the subject matter at hand. We should eliminate the taxes on cigarettes, and remove the red tape barring the simple pleasure from humans just because they haven't completed enough revolutions around Sol yet.

In fact, a truly meritocratic society would remove any such barriers. What difference does it make to have a 16 year old pilot a 2 ton general-purpose land vehicle vs an 18 year old? Shouldn't we just give them both a test whenever they personally choose to exercise that freedom, or, better yet, allow our citizens to use their personal property freely at any age so long as they are not intentionally harming others? Surely being able to acquire the down payment for a 2010 Toyota Corolla is the only mark of skill that matters to a thrifty and entrepreneurial society?

And it would be wrong of me with all this talk of individuals to not speak of my favorite Citizens United—NGOs! If adding so much sugar to a can of coke that phosphoric acid is required as an additive (to suppress the natural gag reflex) to increase market penetration 3% in the 4th quarter, then wouldn't the board at such a NGO have an obligation to their shareholders to deliver that growth?

Especially given that children and adolescents become lifelong customers, wouldn't such a board in fact have a fiduciary responsibility to target such demographics broadly with ever-sweeter processed foodstuffs and beverages? It's not the board's fault humans under the age of 25 generally don't have a fully developed pre-frontal cortex that could resist extraneous activations of the ventral tegmental area. It's just good business sense—if not us then someone else would clearly profit.

Or maybe we could tax the externalities, dunno. It seems your argument is no government could capture every single externality at any one given point in time and thus the effort is moot. We should just pick up the tab on our strained healthcare systems and add more motorized shopping carts at Walmart, and heck maybe we'll even get those cool floating chairs from Wall-E if Buy N Large can finally circumvent silly legalisms and deliver to the American public a sugar so concentrated you can skin-pop it.
But they're referring to _current_ pains with HEVC and HEIF, and the pains are directly related to the non-free nature; most software (especially web browsers) doesn't support HEVC and HEIF due to their non-freeness, which means the server has to transcode the files on the fly, which decreases quality, requires lots of CPU resources, and might not even be possible to do in real time if the files are big enough.
Please stop spreading misinformation.

There are two prices, the bid price (how much someone is willing to pay) and an ask price (how much someone is willing to sell). When you submit a market order, you usually get a price close to the bid (if you’re selling) or the ask (if you’re buying).

The 20$ difference you describe is the spread - not a fee taken by the brokerage, market maker, exchange. Whoever is executing your trade isn’t pocketing the 20$.

> This isn't a loophole as much as a completely designed tax break.

I strongly doubt that the outcome here is the intent of the tax break, which seems to be "pump money into poor areas and we'll let you off the CGT on the amount you invested in the area".

She "re-invests" a thousand dollars by starting a company that is just a few people in some co-working spaces, and walks away a few years later with hundreds of millions extra.

If she'd started a major factory employing large numbers of people in the local area then sure, that seems like the intent.
