I had a conversation with someone recently, and I think it makes sense to replace the income tax with some kind of proportional wealth tax. Especially as human labor becomes increasingly deemphasized in comparison to technology/capital.

> If you applied capital gains tax to grandpa's modest gift to his grandchildren the grand children may very well end up with nearly nothing.

That's such a funny remark. First, this implies the tax rate is 100%. How else could you end up with nothing? Long term capital gains is what? 20%? If the "modest gift" of a $1 million house with a cost basis of $300,000 results in $140,000 in capital gains taxes, you still have $860,000.

Hell, you can even have the system defer those taxes until the sale of the property (eg capped at 10 years) if you're worried about undue hardship.

But the house has its cost basis reset to $1 million, which in insane. In some places, you even get to inherit the ridiculously low property tax rate, which was another result of homeowners voting themselves massive tax breaks.

Second, these completely made up emotional anecdotes about regular people are so often used to defend practices whereby billionaires get to pay nothing. It's an appeal to emotion and a complete distraction. I don't know if you're just an unwitting victim of this propaganda (which it is) or you're one of the many bad faith pundits who use this appeal for the real goal: protecting the wealth of rich people.

> This isn't done because the universe of ways you can move, adjust, hedge, and sell stock is too broad.

It's a remarkably easy problem to solve. Just tax 1-3% of the net value of your assets based on their value on December 31 of each year.

> It honestly sounds like your statement here is actually a thin veil over just letting anyone making under $N exploit the system at (once again) the cost of the middle class.

The idea of a middle class here itself is a myth and deliberate propaganda by the wealthy to pit the imaginary middle class against the imaginary lower class. There are only really two classes: those who trade their labor for an income and those who own capital. This idea of "defending the middle class" is 100% propaganda.

You, as a software engineer, are in the same class as a neurosurgeon, a profesional basketball player, a waiter, a nurse or a teacher. I hope you realize that someday.

Ask HN: Would a service to ask proven founders reg. question async be valuable?
TLDR: I just wrote a buddy of mine who successfully sold his last company for 100+ ML for some advice on my start-up. He smartly suggested that I could record a Loom video and send it over for him to respond async. Ironically, this sparked the idea of, "wow, I'd love to have a two of three proven founders who I could report back to regularly for their guidance."

So I'm asking HN. . . do you know of any services like this or would you find this valuable? I could imagine people asking things like, how should I start a drip email campaign, what do you think of this onboarding strategy, a friend's dad wants to invest in my start-up, should I pivot. . . the thousands of various questions I think we all have.

I'd love to hear what people think who consider themselves successful and if they would be open to giving such advice async, and what people think who would like such advice. Last thought, I pay $199 per month for a nutritionist to help me lose weight and she follows my meal tracking. . . I see this as sort of similar. She can give me some advice on edge cases, or just boost my spirits when I feel like I should not have had those two margaritas during the Sunday brunch. It would be nice to have someone like that in business.

The author implicitly assumes that these expectations are reasonable because women are scarcer on the apps, and that men improving in these areas will cause their situations to improve. This seems like a non-sequitur and an unproven assumption.

It could be that the men are subject to victim-blaming, and/or that the women are asserting false pretenses because the real reasons are superficial and/or sound bad (i.e. men are too ugly or poor).

But they are sidekicks in an open air museum.

private messaging, i.e. telegram/discord seems to be where people are moving.

It looks more like a self-created problem. The tax code is unnecessarily complex and this creates confusion for most citizens, including the IRS itself.

Simplifying the tax code would solve a lot of these headaches plus remove the EITC errors/fraud cost of $10bn-20bn a year.

A simple and reasonable one-liner tax code can be something like: "all businesses and citizens pay 10% of their monthly revenue to fund a small efficient government and social institutions (education, health, firefighters, police, etc)."

Good question. I don't know the answer. I think the 2014s supported AZW3 so you might want to try that as your output format from Calibre. I say that because I've never seen any unavailable fonts in an epub > azw3 conversion.
For events that happen that often, signals are not the right tool/implementation for the job. Deciding on a communication mechanism is a game of balances and trade-offs depending on your needs. HTTP is much slower than some more complex RPC mechanisms, but it's fast enough for most applications. if somebody were blasting enormous amounts of data through it, you wouldn't criticize HTTP as too slow, you'd change to a more appropriate protocol that forces more complexity on the application but is more efficient with time and space. I think you should do the same here and use a different communication mechanism than signals.

FWIW, I did some pretty intense real time animation in Qt about 10 years ago, and even on the crap hardware at the time I had no issue using signals to hook into mouse move events (which happen often and quickly sometimes).

I'm only slightly younger than you, and, like you, have worked in many languages. And my very favorite were the LISPs (zeta, common, scheme). But the dev env, projects, and my time in life were all part of that positive experience. I was in my 20s (a super learning time) working on my own code on Symbolics Lisp machines. Fortran/Ratfor were my least favorite, since that work was always maintaining code written (and barely commented) by someone I didn't know.

Smalltalk and Erlang are my next choices. Same reasons as LISP.

No. The withholding system isn't accurate enough to do this and can be gamed anyway. (I'm thinking back probably 20 years ago, one of our employees absolutely furious with the accountant for messing up their taxes and leaving them with a huge bill they couldn't afford. Reality: They bought a house, everyone knows your taxes go down when you buy a house so they increased their exemptions. Oops, the tax effects of buying a house weren't anything like what they thought.)

Furthermore, the system doesn't work too well with variable incomes (it's based per-check) and should two married people both have variable incomes it can't work, period. (We are both self-employed--and some years ago I threw in the towel on even trying to get it right. I simply stay at the safe harbor limit. Come Apr 15 I expect to be off by 4-digit amounts, but it could be in either direction.)

And your threshold won't catch most cheating. Not drawing an income will of course be suspect, but the guy who reports $50k but took $30k in cash out of the till over the year won't show up on your radar. I actually get a 1099 but my wife does not--no computer can know if she's reporting accurately. They would have to do a bit to even realize she's working (she's past retirement age.)
> If you applied capital gains tax to grandpa's modest gift to his grandchildren the grand children may very well end up with nearly nothing.

Quiz time:

Capital gains is 0% for anything less than $40k, 20% for anything over than $400k, and 15% for everything in the middle. How much do you have to inherit for the total effective tax rate to be greater than 95%?

> In many states property taxes are reassessed upon property transfer in a will, so if your grandparents/parents had a really good property tax rate, you may end up paying so much tax that you can't afford to keep the house.

In most states, property taxes are reassessed frequently (once every low single digit years). The only state where property taxes aren't regularly reassessed appears to be California. And I'm highly unsympathetic when the argument boils down to "we bought this property 50 years ago and we couldn't afford taxes on it if it were assessed at market value."
That's cool. My multitool doesn't have one and my home tool is much, much larger[1] (160 x 100 x 22mm, 242g). I guess if I were buying a new multitool today, I'd try to get one with a chain tool included, but I also don't feel a pressing need to carry one. I've never broken a chain while riding, nor do I know anyone who has broken a chain, and I ride with a lot of cyclists putting out 600-1000W in sprints.

Brad here, one of the cofounders of Superblocks! Last week we launched on Hacker News and we’re incredibly thankful for all of the constructive feedback and excitement we received: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32344671

As a reminder, Superblocks is an internal tooling IDE to connect to any datasource (databases, APIs, data warehouses), drag and drop your common UI components (tables, charts, forms), spin up backend APIs and schedule cron jobs, all in one place.

Yes, this matches my experience.

Redis excels as a memcached alternative with some useful operations. Where people get into trouble with redis is treating it as a persistent data store, when despite it's ability to replicate and persist, redis has some constraints you need to work within. At best think of redis as something that can hold a materialized view, but where it can become corrupted at any random time, so you'll need the ability to rematerialized it from something else. And second, you absolutely have to be conscious of how close you are to ram limits.
OSS personal finance manager KMyMoney 5.1.3 released
This is likely the final release of the 5.x branch. The upcoming alpha release of the next-gen KMyMoney has a ton of improvements in its master branch. Anyone willing to test it and provide feedback is already welcome to try it, but bear in mind that while we are not aware of any critical issues, it should not be used in production just yet.

We're also inviting everyone interested to contribute to the project. Head to https://invent.kde.org/office/kmymoney/-/wikis/home to see how to start and how to help. You don't have to be a C++/QT developer, we also appreciate translators, for example.

If you code, though, a list of some interesting junior-job tasks is here:

Open to a fault: On the passive compromise of TLS keys via transient errors [pdf]
I agree, it's fine to point out holes in a theory without an alternative explanation. However, it does still leave the problem of how else do you explain all the dark matter observations. So one must be careful not to give to much weight to those kinds of criticisms, as finding one hole in something that explains ten observations doesn't give much confidence in saying the whole theory is wrong (just an example.) Dark matter still seems a much better explanation than MOND to date, even if I personally feel it looks like a hack.
I personally don't think age has anything to do with it. If the story for some reason said 47 instead of 17, I think comments would largely be the same.

So then why? Insecurity may still have a lot to do with it. I guess a large percentage of people like to either prove others wrong, or show off intelligence?

> The lowest hanging fruit for a low-code solution would be in the Front-End space since you're dealing with a visual medium anyway, and because Front-End work isn't "hard" as much as it's super tedious.

I think the take that frontend isn't hard is extremely outdated. Responsiveness and a11y are nuanced problems with huge surface areas. As designs get more complex, keeping all these things in check requires tooling that needs to be learned. People on HN constantly bemoan the complexity of frontend development and how hard it has become. There's a reason drag and drop isn't the default way of creating a web page, despite tools for this being around for 30 years.

Objective-C had a wonderfully pragmatic approach to OOP, though it remained tied to the systems it was on because of the standard object libraries that enabled it.

And, once you have more than a trivial number of changes in about:config, you search for something that will allow you to have sane configuration management, and discover, the 'user.js' file.

Any setting in about:config can be set in user.js and your user.js file can be diffed, grepped, version controlled, edited with your favorite editor, and copied between profiles/machines.

Sadly, Mozilla is moving a lot of config out of about:config/user.js and into multiple random sqlite files, so sane config management is getting harder with each new release.

ADA evolved into the procedural scripting syntax of many SQL databases.

"SQL/PSM is derived, seemingly directly, from Oracle's PL/SQL. Oracle developed PL/SQL and released it in 1991, basing the language on the US Department of Defense's Ada programming language... IBM's SQL PL (used in DB2) and Mimer SQL's PSM were the first two products officially implementing SQL/PSM. It is commonly thought that these two languages, and perhaps also MySQL/MariaDB's procedural language, are closest to the SQL/PSM standard. However, a PostgreSQL addon implements SQL/PSM (alongside its other procedural languages like the PL/SQL-derived plpgsql), although it is not part of the core product."
