My mistake. Please forgive my usage of HN cliche #318. (Though you appear to be in violation of cliche 284)

But my question stands. What the hell is Yahoo doing nowadays? Yahoo Finance and search can't take that many folks to run. Maybe it's Yahoo Weather?
>Simple question: how is that guaranteed yield sustainable if not through a Ponzi scheme?

Let's say you buy 100 digital widgets from me. I promise you a 20% rate of return if you stake those widgets back. A ponzi scheme would require me to lure in new "investors" and take in new funds in order to pay you the 20% return you are promised. However, I can sustain this process forever without ever having a single new investor. I'm paying your APR in digital widgets, not any sort of actual currency. With the stroke of a key, I can create as many digital widgets as I need, and give you your 120 widgets after the year is up. However, there is no guarantee what your digital widgets will be worth - that's the rub. It might be characterized as a scam, but it isn't a ponzi scheme.
I've always struggled writing regexes. It's somehow counter intuitive for me. Luckily I have friends who just adore writing them and will help me when I get stuck. Thought I had a killer idea of creating a regex generator using AI. Well someone beat me to it.

I have also heard of another one as well. I suspect it will be quite a popular project for awhile. I wouldn't care if I never had to write another regex again.

> Yes, it's about family, and yes, I'd say you're very fortunate. I don't know how common "a family where everyone gets along" is, but in my personal experience, it's quite rare.

My immediate family gets along great. I think mainly because my siblings and I got our really mean disagreements out of the way as teens.

Now everyone just snipes at each other. Sometimes in ways that seem mean spirited to an outsider (my wife still sometimes will gape at the way we snipe at each other - in her family this would lead to years worth of not speaking and grudges), but we all know the topics to stay away from. You know - the really hurtful stuff. The sniping targets the small funny/embarrassing stuff, a snarky act of love for each other.

> It's the closest family that actually is the problem.

In our case, it's the extended family. The increasingly racist and unhinged know-it-all uncle. The aunt who is both a pathological liar, attention seeker, and also furious at the world. The passive aggressive aunt who was married to a pastor, who can't stop telling people how they should be living their lives.

10 minutes with any of them, and I'm ready to go to the bar.
Very interesting - what is your workflow for this process
I appreciate your edit. It's a sensitive topic and although we may try our hardest to be bias free, we are human, and we are fallible. I'll try to reread your initial post again.

Best wishes to you as well.
What Can Humdrum Do? (2022)
Yea I don’t buy the “reprinting the reserved list will crash everything to 0”. Many old cards hold their value even after they are reprinted. Anything originally printed in 1993/1994 holds tremendously more value than reprints: see anything from legends, arabian nights, alpha, beta, unlimited, antiquities.

Yes maybe original revised dual lands go down to $100 if they are reprinted, but they are definitely not going to be $5.
Still employing them? Probably not out of the goodness of their hearts. What do you want them to do differently?

Edit: wasn’t it just yesterday there was a front page HN post about Yahoo getting back into search?
In australia they could say this makes you a professional trader and now it is all subject to income tax and more

You don't have to feel like doing something to do it. You can just decide to do it.

This was freeing for me, because I didn't even realize I somehow believed I had to feel motivated.

But obviously you need wisdom in your choice of what to do - especially now that you're overriding the instinctive test of feeling.
My perspective as an Android dev, is that Android tablets are basically dead because of the old view system. Creating individual layouts wasn't that difficult, but creating layouts that looked good in landscape, tablets, and various sizes was time consuming. Plus changing orientations would cause data loss with out a lot of boiler plate.

So it really wasn't worth the effort to do anything besides lock portrait mode for most developers. 7 inches is a particularly annoying size to adjust layouts for.

This made the tablet experience kinda crappy in most apps. Which helped create lower tablet sales. Which further disincentivized the creation of tablet UIs. Everyone buying a tablet then started getting iPads. Repeat for many years.

Jetpack Compose makes adaptable layouts much easier to create, there's a big push with documentation showing how to create layouts for tablets, foldables, and other unusual form factors, and Google is starting to warn that locking to portrait mode will stop working eventually.

There's no guarantee Android tablets will sell again, but you're currently too late or too early.

Why didn't they release the innovations on chat that openai has come up with?

The question isn't can it be done with a small team, it's "what have you done for me lately?" Yesterday's growth has already been factored into the stock price, what's the thing that will double it next?
Q1 of 2023: The most Tech Layoffs in history
Those in Europe and Asia are asking to be paid more. Things will level out, like they did with offshoring.
Yes, but if you have a $100m tax bill, you would need to donate more than that to offset the taxes. Assuming a 33% tax rate, you would need to put $300m into a foundation to zero out $100m in taxes.
Good point! You don't need to block the light completely -- I hadn't thought of that!
Your whole comment just shows how little you understand about the problem. The problem is not that governments do not know what a "Sigmoid Curve" is. The problem entirely lies in "Net Worth tax". How do you determine net worth? With all the different types of corporations out there, you just move your net worth into an entity that you do not "own". Just like how my work laptop is not mine. If your conclusion is to tax businesses on net worth, that would be easily skirted with international boundaries and drastically lower business creation.
10 million dollars is not that much money.
You are correct and missedthecue is incorrect.

IRS laws say you can deduct $3000 ordinary income (i.e. income earned by working, so doesn't include capital gains) per year and deduct without limit against capital gains. Should your capital losses exceed your capital gains that year, you can carryforward the rest of the capital losses without limit onto the next year 2023, 2024, etc.

The whole point of the article is that "tax loss harvesting" beneficial to Steve Ballmer and the other billionaires mentioned in the article, because they have $Bs in capital gains to begin with (Steve Ballmer had highly appreciated MSFT stock as mentioned in the article). An average Joe like you and me even if we have that much capital losses would find it difficult to find the capital gains to deduct against, so we're typically limited to only $3000 per year deducting against ordinary income (compare against no limit for capital gains), which is much less useful tax shield compared to someone like Steve Ballmer who gets most of his income from capital gains, and who therefore can use his massive cap losses to shield against taxation much more effectively. This is the part that makes "Although this is also available to masses" somewhat moot. Even though it's "technically" possible, the masses don't have the massive capital gains to actually deduct against, so they don't benefit from this to nearly the same magnitude as someone who draws most of their income from capital appreciation.

Therefore, one could argue that this section of the tax code is "unfair" in year 2023. The article makes the case that wash sale rule was effective in the 1920s, but that in the 100 years that have passed, technology has made evading the wash sale rule trivial (especially for billionaires), so the rule as drafted in the 1900s is no longer effective at preventing what it intended.

Taxing unrealized gains is unworkable.

I suspect the goal is to remove physical ports entirely from any device small enough to practically charge wirelessly, so they're just delaying until they can do that to replace Lightning.
And how does defence work? There would be no fiat money anymore as it’s basis is gone so guess it is Gold or Bitcoin.

You would need to defend yourself so you need guns. But that would be useless against groups of people with guns so people will form groups that defend themselves. Eventuality some of those people will specialise and some people in the group pay others to defend the group in a form of a kind of “tithe” or regular payment to the common good.
So his F-18 radar was lying.
His eyes were lying.
His wingman's eyes were lying.
And the ship 30 miles away that picked it up on radar was also lying.

Interesting conclusion.
The problem with this is it basically just bans everyone from owning a company, and/or puts a limit on the growth of their company. Maybe you want that, but it's going to have weird implications around divesting wealth before the government can get to it and/or disincetivising companies to grow beyond a certain point.
because the word "simplest" has so many locally contextually defined meanings that communication is fraught.

I mean "honour your father and mother" -what does the word honour mean?? bestow them with a title? give them a gold Oscar statue?

The problem with those super high rates now is that the super wealthy will just move overseas and renounce their citizenship. So you have to get other countries on board, the super wealthy are far too mobile.
Politically maybe but not practically.

What are property taxes? Effectively this but for a specific asset.

Granted they are not based in the rise in value. But the idea of paying tax for holding something is not new.

Both places are fine.
And when they complain it’s all “paper wealth”, offer to take that. Let them pay a wealth tax with stocks. Then set up a public trust to manage a huge fund that has a mandate to invest ethically and favor industries that are good for the advancement of everyone, not just the wealthy elite.
Kraken is a huge network validator. They generate a lot of tokens which they return as earnings to their shakers.
But small structures are the norm, or at least very common, aren't they? There are plenty of established, small to medium businesses out there. Someone for whom this is important can certainly find a job like that within one of those.
I don't want a Threadripper. I already have one and an Epyc. From what I've heard Nintendo went with essentially the lowest tier (like 4 gens old at this point) nvidia SoC available (in class). They could have had better hardware in the same form factor on a smaller node with similar power draw. But it would have been more expensive and Nintendo doesn't use hardware as a loss leader.
Honest question -- does anyone really pay attention to titles anyway? We've known they were largely BS for decades.
Cars are definitely cheaper today especially if you discount for the massive amount of features that have been added

I don't know, up until this year tech's attitude towards headcount seems to suggest that higher numbers make for happier managers. Which means that emotion is driving hiring which does, in fact, make it done out of the kindness of their hearts.
> All those changes took years to make happen and hundreds of people debated them.

Sure. But if you want a money system whose policy is based on, well, politics, we already have plenty of very good implementations of those.

> All of them have made Ethereum more secure, easier to use, and deflationary.

It's too young to say if it's actually deflationary or not. I'm betting on not, because once there is more value leaving the crypto ecosystem than entering it, no force on Earth can stop that from lowering crypto values.
The title is a lie.

They just defer taxation to a later year.

What tax harvesting moves like this get you is better compounding, and the result is, you pay more taxes (on more gains) later.
"Your eyes are lying, don't believe anything that may shatter our worldview" he said.
I'm not sure I get the point. You mean international crypto flowing in to prop up a bad government? There was plenty of crypto going into Ukraine during the Maidan revolution and since from Russia; unless you believe there was more coming from America, I don't see how the form of money transfer would be a decisive factor.

Many Argentines believe that in the 1940s it was Nazi gold transported by submarine that held up the Perón. Does that justify seizing gold from some family's safe deposit box halfway around the world?

You know that (potentially misattributed) Steinbeck quote about how poor Americans view themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires? Well it seems like a large percentage of HN view themselves as temporarily embarrassed FAANG employees. Those are the cool places that people want to work, so people have a more natural empathy for their employees. Few have dreams of working for Yahoo, so their employees don't merit the same empathy and instead we get jokes made at their expense.

Make things simpler? That’s news to me.

If anything the more we have grown the more over engineering and obnoxious processes we have.

All because late stage people just don’t really get it imo. When you start needing to have meetings so people can “feel like they belong” which translates to weeks of wasted cycles trying to find “what works for us” it’s ludicrous.

You’re hired to do a job, maybe you’re a Java or Go engineer hired to work on services or infra. Or you’re hired to build UIs. You aren’t hired to waste time on setting up slack bots that become annoying af 2 sprints later and removed, or trying experiments instead of shipping.

I can understand having technical processes to make our codebase better, but this side organizational engineering bullshit is just annoying.

Idk it’s just stupid. Imo companies need to be leaner and have less people who actually just do their job. You know, the thing they’re paid 300k plus TC for. I’ve personally been picking up the slack on a bunch of people on my team along with a couple of OGs and new hires who are actually really good. It’s getting annoying now when people just literally are not doing their job and writing 20 page documents on process improvements. did we hire a consulting firm jokers or software engineers?
I remember learning about these as part of the prep for the amateur operator license exams. Somebody really wanted hams to know about it.

I wondered how much of the Quiet Zone effect was used for scientific research and how much was for military applications, say, on a pie graph...or a venn diagram :-)

BTW: "scientific experiments have shown this condition is caused by" > link to nocebo page > "Evidence suggests" ...hmmmm...sucks that the wording is such an issue with this stuff, but really, that's quite an awkward differential
What drives me nuts about those auto engines loaded with sensors is that all that info gets hidden behind the "check engine" light in cars, even in modern cars with big LCD displays.

No, I don't want to plug something into an OBD-2 and bluetooth to a phone/laptop. Put the FUCKING INFO ON THE SCREEN. Speaking of protectionism, don't want your customers knowing what is actually wrong with the car...
Property taxes are consumption taxes.

Taxing stock ownership is a tax on investing.
The biggest stumbling block to new search engines, from what I see over and over, are sites allowing new search bots in. One can't expect anything to happen is half the sites have worked to only allow certain search bots.

I too want the source. One of the better things with google was its cache with the highlighted keywords. That way one knew the site had changed or updated its content and one might see why.

The web experience for me, is now is a mere shadow of what it was, back in the says of higher signal to noise. These days one has to be pleased a page served up has more than forty or fifty words.
If you have to ask, you can’t afford it. Lol.
a social security number is not called that because it has anything to do with security, or is a good idea to use for that purpose...

your comment is equivalent to telling developers to stop wasting time on endless security fixes when we should just make computer hacking illegal, and prosecute people for it.
So many of my favorite references in this thread. I was delighted to find Neuromancer at the top of the comments, and this here.
Folks, please keep in mind that everyone doesn’t live in America. Yahoo may seem like old news for many of us Americans, but across the world, for many millions of folks, Yahoo is still a significant and well-known brand/website.

E.g., I’m originally from Haiti. A really huge percentage of Haitians still use Yahoo for their email (specifically via yahoo.fr) and they even get a lot of their global news via Yahoo. I’ve seen the same thing apply in various African countries.
Does anyone know tools that can capture high quality screen recordings from a browser session? Thinking about the type of video that has lots of dramatic pans and zooms + smooth cursor movement used in marketing videos.

Yes because USB C is so user friendly:

Grab a random USB C cable, now answer a few questions

- how much power can it deliver?

- how much data can it deliver?

- can it deliver video over USB?
But remember, what counts as "big money" is very situationally dependent. There are parts of the US where you'd be living poor on an income that you could live rich on in other parts.

What matters isn't the absolute amount. What matters is what you can buy with it.
The article's specifically talking about switching between nearly identical securities. Tax loss harvesting is more general.
For a billionaire, (1) and (2) seem basically irrelevant; if they're loopholes at all, they seem to favor the non-billionaires. That leaves us with (3), which baffles me - if the cost basis is allowed to rise without paying any taxes (?!) then isn't that the real source of the problem, rather than the wash sale? I feel like I must be missing something here - why get angry over wash sales and prohibit them if the real issue is something else entirely? Shouldn't inheritance basis step-up be the real subject of discussion?
The argument would be that transactions must be worth at least what people pay for them, otherwise people wouldn't pay for them.
Gotta say this threat doesn't sound compelling. Who didn't know Russia could bomb a pipeline? Seems more like Russia punching itself in the face for literally no reason.

Also, given the climate now, if there was even a shred of evidence or any hint that Putin did this, US media and intelligence officials would be blaring that from every rooftop and every talking head would be "Russia this", and "Russia that". I think the relative silence speaks very clearly.
I was just thinking the same thing and commented up in the thread. let me know if you come across anything like this!
> I wonder why something like dialysis machines couldn't be adapted to filter the blood

I had a similar thought when I was younger. My idea was to just cool the below the temperature that HIV can survive at. When one considers the ways you can contract the disease though (semen, breast milk, blood), it's clear that it's permeated throughout more than just the blood. So just clearing it from the blood would be insufficient to remove the virus from our system.
What do you mean by "image quality" and how have you measured it?
And I’m pretty sure that it was meant to be a reference to the Wow! signal from the ‘70s. And I think at the end of the final book of the trilogy, a similar thing happens, except this time the virtual constructs of the characters get to go to Centauri via galactic cyberspace.
Thank you for your informative comments on this thread.
You're far from the only one. Most people don't get them.
I always see this parroted by people on HN and it's such a pathetic stance to take.

Every job I've been at I've formed close friends. My closest friends include people from every job and I don't think it's a coincidence. These friendships are just as real (and I'd argue stronger) than your "real" friends.

Maybe the problem is with you and you are just somebody people don't like? Or you think you shouldn't be making friends at work which is kind of sad.
I asked you a good faith question that should have been easy for you to answer if what you said was true. You refused. What am I supposed to believe?

In simple terms, I asked you to put up or shut up, and your response was "no u." If you had an actual point, you should have been more than happy to have been asked to expound upon it.

I don't think it does? Theres questions on what else the business could have done with that money, like collect interest.

There's also a question on what drives faang valuation. Each person might have to be increasing the average profitability of all the things the company does -- google shuts down profitable stuff because it doesn't move the google sized needle
Try public service. The knowledge and experience you would bring to the table would be extremely valuable. The sector may not move as fast as big tech but everyday you go home, you will know that you made an impact on your community. It will be gratifying at a deeper level.
The only people I expect to manage wealth worse than greedy execs/capitalists is bureaucrats and politicians.

As much as I oppose the idea, if it must be done, the only way I can see the government not squandering and corrupting all the money is to just immediately distribute it amongst the populace.
