California has the highest income tax only if you earn a lot. For most earners it definitely is not the highest income tax state.

Median household income is $84 K in California. The tax rate is only 6%. And in reality it's less due to having more deductions. Contrast with Oregon where the tax rate is almost 9% for anything over 10K.

California ranks 9th for overall tax burden.

And property tax is ridiculously low, although that is offset by the high property values.

As a random data point: In my state, I got zero tax benefit for having a kid - and my household income is under $200K. I'm too "rich". I haven't checked, but I'm sure in California I'd get some deduction for the kid.

I only have a surface-level understanding of smart contracts, but you'd need an oracle for the off-chain validation part of the three situations you mentioned, and https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/oracles/ seems to have some contract examples.

You'd have to be pretty simple to think that election results report on accurate outcomes. Most people in the world don't believe that at all. Taking the past two US presidential elections, most people thought either 2016 or 2020 was fraudulent. Election results are information wars like campaigns. The fight is over control of the narrative and the power legitimated by the accepted narrative. Hence the exceptional brouhaha over questioning the legitimacy of elections. Such talk must be brutally suppressed by the victor, if able. If the winner is not able to suppress challenges to its legitimacy then you have a real problem of how to justify your authority. Even explicit autocracies hold elections for this purpose.
Eeesh. I really do not like using language in that way (“model”) to dehumanise in such a way that makes us feel better. I think it says quite a bit about the speaker.

Perhaps sometimes things require testing on animals, but the best we can do is keep reminding ourselves of precisely what we’re doing. If we can’t stomach saying “the monkey”, then maybe that says something!
Well to be pedantic, kilograms are mass, not weight. So the AI has the correct answer buried in the English version, assuming how we use "pounds" in the US: 2.2 pounds [on Earth].

Also there's an old riddle: What weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?

A pound of feathers is 16 ounces, but gold (at least at one point in the past, wikipedia indicates this isn't used anymore) is measured on a different scale and is only 12 ounces, so the pound of feathers is actually heavier.

Price is a huge thing. With that many trees they must have been doing only 2klbs of coffee a year on the high end (green). I don't see how they could have been doing "quite well" as green Kona beans sell for like $40-60/lb (a lot considering most green coffee is like $8 or so a pound).
The whole "journalist is bad" thing has really evolved over time.

It used to be just whackjobs with tinfoil hats on ham radio in the desert.

Then it became a meme. But it was still a joke.

In the last few years it seems to have been weaponized, and there are now dozens, if not hundreds, of people on HN who actually believe this; if for no other reason than they've seen it written on the internet so many times. Often, like the person above, the idea is spouted with irrationally hyperbolic levels of venom and hatred.

It feels like yet another coordinated attack on the fundamentals of Western society, just like the "all elections are rigged!" crowd that, at its root turns out to be funded by governments and organizations that profit from chaos, and hope to benefit from the elimination of democracy.

The continuing attacks on journalism and journalists erode our society. If you don't understand that, then you must have slept through your civics classes.

Anyone who thinks that journalists are "some of the lowest forms of human life" just sounds unhinged, and unable to think or understand how the world works. The real world, not the imaginary dystopia of the people on the internet barking at one another.

I can't help but think that this person works on behalf of one of those groups that is trying to destroy democracy. Whether they know it, or not.
Okay, except your whole reply to OP started by replying someone who is in this situation and does have this exact problem. Then you go and ask why their solution can't be simple, and when it's explained why, you say, "well, most people don't need this?" ?????? You're talking to people who do need this!

And this isn't something that ultra-massive billion line projects singularly suffer from. You can easily suffer from all these issues and more in small and big software projects alike. I've suffered from these problems plenty in FOSS and commercial software that were small and large. "Computer program that generates another computer program" is actually a pretty normal and fine way to build software. But when compilation is expensive, these things matter, and you can't keep making excuses about it.

A build system should accurately track dependencies and rebuild things. It's that simple. You can say that running two commands is OK or whatever, but don't try to imply that people who want that criteria -- accurate deps and rebuilding -- aren't trying to solve problems they actually have, and then ditch the example when it becomes inconvenient to you that they are.
In Kansas our utility has an option for anyone to participate in exchange for slightly better rates. Even a single small household can participate.

My bad, yes I misunderstood. There are but still in small scale and artisanal. And even the people we hired now can do it, but we have time until the first harvest though (3 to 4 years).

I want some of those subsidies. Aside from a few particular oil-rich nations (and some very poor ones), where are these fuel subsidies I keep hearing about? A gallon of gasoline largely costs the same in the US as it does in Europe, if you strip away the taxes.
The basics of economics are that housing prices is a function of amount of housing and number of people who want housing. NIMBYism is about keeping the amount of housing low, thus pushing prices up.

I can. People are so focused on not disenfranchising voters (like actually happened / might still happen against marginalized segments of the population), that they don't wonder, what is _empowering_ a citizen as a voter?

I DO support a basic civics and mathematics test, on a recurring basis, for voters. HOWEVER, that's only with the catch that failing or opting out of the test creates benefits designed to encourage the citizen to pass the test in the future. A benefit like, access to public education to work on that math skills and civics awareness. Or possibly someone is disabled (often silently, dementia is a real issue!) and the voter tests might be one of the places it's discovered.
But it doesn’t. The states are free to ignore federal law. Yes, the states can’t stop the feds from doing enforcement themselves, but it would be basically unprecedented outside of a few limited examples.

So no, the line is definitely not as clear as “federal law supersedes state law, period.” It’s a lot more nuanced than that, and in practice, in most situations it’s the state law that reigns supreme.
Okay. But you are still driving under influence. You are at all times responsible for what the car is doing.

Ride sharing is already “self driving” from the end user perspective and has increased congestion. The actual technological full self driving function is an implementation detail.
Come on, mate. I thought this would be a complaint about adults with jobs and lives giving each other middle-class tat out of obligation.

Leave the kiddos out of it. They have an income of, what, $2 per week pocket money? Zero for the littlies. Christmas is one of the two days per year where they get the chance to be spoiled materially, and the rellos get the chance to spoil them.

Really, anything. In an environment of decreasing inflation, or a return to moderate inflation, both stocks and bonds will be expected to do well. Look at how every asset class has collapsed this year, due to inflation expectations and resulting rising interest rates. Now consider the reverse. Just don’t go into TIPs bonds or stay in cash.

This is valid for alcohol too (father of ex-gf had schizophrenia triggered by alcohol binge at 18 and had to take strong meds for rest of his life, brain half vegetable). Or stressful event - we should ban those too.

I interpret it as meaning someone who goes way out of their way to feed hungry people on other continents but won't spare a penny for someone at their doorstep. Admittedly that could be way off.
hm creating your own crypto token is a smart contract, its just a standardized set of classes, modify the classes and see what happens

anyway try scaffoldeth.io

you compile the tutorial website first and then build a bunch of common smart contract scaffolding

note this is the EVM ecosystem so it would be impossible to conflate example in pure BTC, smart contracts are playing catchup in BTC ecosystem. There are a couple competing attempts there, very little scaffolding. There are many orders of magnitude more activity in the EVM ecosystem than there are in bitcoin ecosystem/UXTO model smart contracts.

People misunderstand the US bail system.

You can pay your bail yourself. Say a judge gives you a $5k bail. You give the government 5k and they hold it until your case is complete. Then they either return it or they deduct your fines etc from it and return anything left.

Most people don’t do this. They go to a bail bond company, which charges them $500 and then puts up the 5k for them. They get the 5k back when the defendant shows up and keep the $500.

People do skip out on bail pretty regularly, so there’s no guarantee the bondsman gets his money back. But he’s invested in finding the skipper at least as much as the government. At least in theory. The US generally doesn’t go after people very hard for skipping out on bail, they just wait until you get detained for some other crime and then arrest you for having a warrant out. Well, sometimes they still let you go after that.

The cameras on a Model 3 were quite mediocre in 2018. Subaru puts a lot higher quality cameras on their cars than Tesla does.
If you have a lot of debt (e.g. a big mortgage) inflation is actually good for you, because it means the amount you owe has gone down in real terms.
In talking about friends with this, one interesting divide was between people with kids and those without.

People with kids, especially suburban ones, seem to use the vehicle as a sort of mobile operating base. So the car isn't just a taxi. It's where the kids' sports stuff goes. Plus the folding chairs for the games. Plus snacks and water on hand. Plus it gets used as a storage locker when they're out somewhere. And it has assorted useful stuff, like charging cables and wet wipes and sunglasses and spare napkins and and and...

So I expect fractional ownership will not be particularly popular for a lot of people because a) they're already used to owning a vehicle, and b) they don't want to have to take everything out of the car all the time.
What's the point? Regular cars are cheap. They're not expensive capital assets that last for decades like private jets.
That's a very interesting way to look at gift giving! I just bought gifts for my own partner and kid. I'm confident that for every $10 I have spent, they'll only see/perceive/gain $6 of value from it unless they've explicitly asked for a specific gift.

We moved back in 6 months.

That must have been expensive!

You had to eat the second six months of a year lease on a house, maybe lost your deposit, too; plus you paid to move an entire family from California to Texas; then paid again to move from Texas to California. Then had to find another place to live in California and pay another deposit there.

Having helped a friend move from California to Texas recently, it sounds like at least a $40,000 mistake.

Inflation numbers tend to exclude gas because unlike most other things which tend to slowly rise in price, fuel costs are highly erratic. They are excluded because they add more noise than data.

From 2009 to 2010, the price of gas went up by 25%. From 2014 to 2015 it went down by 25%. Do you think the true rate of inflation is measured by either of those numbers.

It's a bit correlated to developed countries, but not completely https://waojournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1939-4...

I'd propose a mix of everything but also: e) People don't call things allergies unless they know it's that. I said for decades that I can't eat spinach or I'll have diarrhoea, but learned later that also classifies as an allergy. f) More developed countries have more difference in available cuisines. For example I've not seen a shellfish until I moved out of home, so wouldn't know if I'm allergic to them. g) (probably lots of other factors)

I feel like this is a really good opportunity to make a joke about how Richard Nixon was kind of a jerk, but I can't quite figure out the wording.
What bothers me about this space is that interest rates are seemingly not the right hammer to deal with inflation precisely and the Fed itself doesn't understand the relationship between interest rates and inflation (i.e. recall "transitory"). As a programmer, I liken it to seeing a kernel fault, isolating the fault to a certain file via a stack trace, then deleting that file and its upstream/downstream implications and hoping for the best.

I've only owned ICE vehicles (lifetime total: 3, 2 of which are parked outside right now), and have only ever rented ICE vehicles (lifetime total: several hundred, the latest of which is in the long-stay at London Heathrow right now...)

I'm unable to get my head around talk of a vehicle's software "stagnating"? AFAIK none of the vehicles I've ever driven had OTA updates, and from the driver's PoV they weren't the worse for it.

If you're hoping to convince current ICE drivers to upgrade to EV, then talking about shipping rapid software updates probably isn't going to work...
