> to go to the store

Practically speaking, you will have go to the store at some point, but near-daily seems unusual. What could you possibly need that frequently that you wouldn't stock up on?

> visit friends

Traditionally, your neighbours become your 'regular' friends. You likely visit other friends from time to time, but when they are at a distance it isn't going to be a daily thing. It is actually quite challenging to stay in close contact with friends when they are not immediately nearby. In fact, there was an article posted here recently about exactly that.

> go hiking/hunting/fishing

Are those not the pastimes that rural backyards are best suited for? I know some who like to travel to other parts of the world to hunt/fish different species not found locally, but that's an infrequent vacation, not something done on the regular.

> this is wildly out of sync with my perception of how most people who live in rural areas live.

Is your perception based on living rurally? I get the impression from your comment that you see rural residents living exactly like city residents do, only differing by having to drive to the city each day. There may be someone who does that, but generally I find it is a different lifestyle.
How do you fix the mental health issue with pilots? My understanding is that as soon as you self report you’ve basically jeopardised your career and you’re grounded for a minimum of 6 months while you wait for FAA physicians.
The US only has national death registry starting partway though 1933. Thus 1934 isn’t arbitrary it’s the cutoff before you need to extrapolate statistics from incomplete information.

Here’s one scholarly analysis, but I don’t want to get into various assumptions underlying such extrapolations: https://www.jstor.org/stable/2061893?x=-53.76031957390146&y=...

Households generally hold multiple people, a spouse, teen, or grandparent without a car can’t have their car stolen.

As to car theft being targeted, chop shops can only sell parts to people repairing actual cars which promotes theft based on the number of cars. Similarly local communities don’t represent the demographics of the entire country. Poor communities in 1960 had vastly fewer cars than they do today.
I once saw a cop whip an illegal U-turn in the middle the main interstate-connected road of a small town, no lights or warning whatsoever, on a street that wasn't crammed full but was very much not empty, then nearly hit someone pulling out of a fast food joint who'd presumably already looked left and saw nothing close but a cop car going the other way, so thought it was fine to pull out ("You're supposed to check twice" sure, but there's still a window where you aren't looking one direction or another as you're pulling out—you can't not have that, it's entirely possible they did check twice). Cop pops lights and pulls the car over, probably a bullshit reckless driving citation for nearly getting hit by the cop. I felt so bad for the poor driver who did nothing wrong. Guess whatever they were heading toward wasn't so important after all, too, if they had time to stop that car for a bullshit reason.

Between that and a few other not-quite-that-bad incidents, I now treat cop cars as the least-predictable cars on the road. You never know WTF they might do, and you'll be the one in trouble if they cause a wreck.
Governments could also stop taxing the crap out of the middle and lower classes, but that would require them to stop spending like drunken sailors, but when you operate under the idea that government is the provider of rights and everything else citizens need, this is what you get.
Depends on the show.
Show HN: Create email templates with Markdown and JSX
Hey HN!

This is a little personal project I've been hacking on for the past ~week, somewhat inspired by this blog post [0] ("My Wonderful HTML Email Workflow").

Basically I just wanted an easy way to create email templates in MDX [1] (Markdown + JSX), using React Email [2] components.

It's still a bit of a work in progress (and a bit slow at the moment) but wanted to share in case anyone else finds it interesting!

>And so they convince themselves that they are not in it for the money but merely for the public good, as wealthy people they are hard to bribe (somewhat true) and better this than loafing around doing nothing all day.

Here's where you blew it. Wealthy people aren't immune to greed. The wealthier you are, the more wealth you wan to amass because that's what everyone else around you is doing.

I doubt Donald Trump got into politics because he got bored of being rich and became soooo interested in helping the common man. Wealthy people go into politics because politics means more power, more connections and networking, and ultimately more wealth.

Also, people born in opulent wealth have no idea of the struggles of the common man you're claiming they want to help. I doubt Ursula knows how much is the price of groceries, gas, electricity, plus the average wage of the common folk.
Yep. It's messed up.

The United States makes an astounding amount of money in taxes already.

Why isn't the emphasis on using the current tax dollars more efficiently?

Every government institution that I have been a part of has massive amounts of waste and not on a small scale either..but on a large scale. universities, scientific research labs, government grants, defense industry, bailing out banks who gamble with client money, etc.

They lost billions in Iraq. No one knows where it went.

We're giving billions to Ukraine with zero strategic interest to the United States.

Bills pass constantly in Congress with funding riders that have absolutely nothing to do with the bill itself.

We don't need more taxes in America.

We need some accountability for where our current money taken in taxes is being allocated.
(Possible) undersea pipeline and undersea cable destruction.

Pushing the limit with attacks near the Polish or Romanian borders.

Aggressive agitation / Agit-Prop efforts in the US. Likely pushing the MAGA GOP Republicans to obstruct obstruct obstruct, and doing things like not confirming high ranking generals.

Efforts via Wagner in Africa, and leaning on Middle Eastern powers to take action as things get hotter w/r/t Israel and Palestine. This has seen attacks on US bases in the Middle East, albeit without tremendous impacts.

Russia can't really take direction action since now Finland is NATO, and there are tons of NATO, to include US, UK, French, Canadian, et al, forces in Poland, the Baltics, and now Finland. Russia has, at best, token forces blocking most of those borders. They still have some gear in reserve in case NATO gets involved -- not a lot of call for AShMs in Ukraine, for example -- but even then there isn't much stopping NATO forces from driving straight into St. Pete's or Pskov.
You've got it backwards. Windows has to engage in collusion and buyouts to be relevant.

> The purpose of taxation is to divert those funds to pay for something.

That is a purpose of it.

But another use of taxation is to act as a counter-balance against the natural property that power is self-reinforcing: When you're rich, that gives the power to increase your wealth. And as that system iterates over time, inequality increases.

I think it would be a better world if we taxed the rich more even if we just straight up burned the money.

But, also, you can do useful stuff with the money. If nothing else, you can use it to lower taxes on everyone else.
Do you know of a place with a breakdown?

Skimming through the Forbes list, the top ones are pretty much ones I recognize as having been founders, CEOs, and/or early employees of large corporations. As I scroll down the list, there are a lot more that I don't know or believe are merely decedents of those such people, but I still see plenty I recognize as founders or as still running companies. Is it 10%? 50%? 80%?

Don't just assert we're clueless without providing some source to show us that we're wrong. Far too often such assertions aren't actually based on anything but vibes, so "just trust me" isn't much good.

One way to stop that is to get rid of the step-up in basis on inheritance, or modify inheritance tax to be on a similar level to income tax.

I assume there's a jealousy component.

That being said, the current tax code is pretty unfair and stupid, but a wealth tax is not the answer. Fixing the tax brackets (which currently top out federally when you earn ~500K or so, instead of increasing exponentially up to the highest earners), and increasing the capital gains (including long term) tax brackets would go a long way to fix the problem.

It baffles me when presumably smart people on HN overlook the simple solution and clamor for a wealth tax, which would be incredibly expensive and impractical to implement, require Orwellian surveillance of people's property, and would potentially upend the pattern of having the most productive people in society tying all of their net worth to their company, and not being beholden to short-sighted boards of directors.

When an engine catches fire, you need to extinguish it. These are usually very large overhead red handles (or black handles with red illumination) that, when pulled, will shut off the fuel supply to that engine and flood it with extinguishing agents. This reliably kills the engine, with the hope of preventing the spread of fire.

Too little too late. Comcast is running ads trying to scare people into not dropping their home internet service. That’s a pretty clear sign that a lot of people are doing just that and relying solely on mobile.
VQFN is quite possible using a soldering iron (the difficulty is the soldering pad underneath, but that isn't necessary and doable with suitable PCB design) . IMHO QFN is much easier to solder (and rework) than LQFN because bridges between two pads are easier to get away than bridges between the pins of QFP.

Pretty much no MCU in the same price range contains a DAC and most comparable MCUs don't have integrated OpAmps. The external flash has it's disadvantages, but it's also much cheaper to have huge amounts of flash. Typical 1$ MCUs can't include external flash in their address range, so it also can't be added in a similar way.

The RP2040 isn't suitable for a lot of floating point tasks, but floating point tasks on MCUs are not that common. FPGAs are often used as DSP-monsters and floating point isn't very nice on them.

If you need fast processing, with real multitasking, flexible (digital) pheriperals (PIOs can also simulate timers and up to ~22 total timers are nothing to scoff at), some nice fixed point DSP stuff (hardware divider, interpolators), gobs of (external) flash & RAM and great software support the rp2040 is pretty much the way to go as a default micro-controller.

For ~1$ it's a pretty compelling offer which is hard to beat with non-chinese chips.
Here's an example of Google bug tracking being pretty dysfunctional: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32380769

Is Computer Vision dead?
There are lots of different transfer scenarios. I have a friend who is a EMT for a rural hospital, one day the ER doctors looked him in the eye and said this guy will die in an hour if he remains here, but there is a city hospital 1.5 hours away as the normal person drives who can save his life if you get him there in time (he did it). That is why the 90mph requirement exists. As you say normally you will go slower, but there are urgent trips where arranging air transfer takes too long and normal speeds is too slow. I don't want to take away from your experience.

Generally an ambulance can stop to charge after 150 miles or so. You need fast chargers, but if your are so busy that you can't give the crew a break after that there are bigger problems (and you have to refuel an ambulance in a 400 mile day as well - I don't know the rules, but I suspect they are something like never get below half a tank unless you are in an urgent situation). If you have done a 150 mile trip the crew needs to stop for half an hour to use bathrooms and get a snack before returning.

Thanks for the American weather report I suppose?
I find the ultra wealthy moving to avoid taxes pretty hilarious. It’s basically saying I have enough money to do whatever anything, except live/be where I’d like to.

Even within the US I know many wannabe New Yorkers who count their days and have to pick and choose what they come “home” for. Obviously to each their own but feels like optimizing for the wrong thing.

It’s strange that he did this when in the jump seat, and with other crew members present.

Post 9/11, it is more common to wait for pilots to wait for the other pilot to use the restroom, then lock the anti-hijacking door. At that point, there’s effectively unlimited time to down / hijack the plane.
Two competing partial solutions to fiscal health?

Not what I said. That was one point only. There are stories of the Jews in Haifa who begged their Arab neighbors to stay. They did. OTOH there are plenty of stories of slaughter of Jews during that war. It was a terrible war. There was no law since there was no country. No organized army with discipline and rules. I'm sorry these things happened.

That first war had war crimes on both sides. Lots of them. The Israeli side won. If it had lost I'm sure the Jews would be in a far worse situation than the Arabs are in the state of Israel.
> I don't know how a mock library enables a revolution of having test data.

From my understanding this isn’t (just) mock data, it’s an entire mock backend that runs inside the browser. To be able to simulate that with zero dependencies outside the browser does simplify a lot of testing scenarios.

I tried replaying the original using dosbox and everything was fine until that.

If you can find a used EV at all. Sure if you get lucky enough to find one on the used market they are a great deal. However if like most people you are not willing to wait for one to show up things are more difficult.

If Google didn't index this guide, how would people find it?
Yeah, I think the larger point is like you said, the main exception to just doing what they can to please humans is "primal" instincts, which aren't something that can be changed with some basic training. It's _far_ easier for people to just be taught how not to trigger those, which very often tends to be following some simple rules.

One of my cats gets very feisty when she's playful, and she often will bite my hand somewhat hard once she gets into the "chase" mode (which sometimes can happen from her just noticing my hands move a lot when I type or something). She's extraordinarily sweet otherwise though, to the point where I can literally pick her up and hand her to people the first time she meets them, and she happily purrs and will continue to seek out their attention after they put her down, and I've continued learning in the few years since I adopted her how to avoid triggering her instincts like that (and to make sure to give her ample play time where she can direct her aggression towards toys instead of my hands). I think a lot of people would just see a cat who bites sometimes and assume she's unfriendly or mean, but she's so sweet the vast majority of the time that I know her temporary "reversion" to her primal instincts doesn't indicate any actual malice.
Or even just saying "loans above $N are a taxable event", and make that value like $500,000. This would allow like 99% of the population to actually borrow against their stocks in the case of an emergency without having to liquidate their stocks or be punished for it, but $500,000 is nothing for a Bezos or a Musk.

> People will just move to avoid the tax. THere are plenty of countries worth living in that don't have a wealth tax. France found out the hard way.

And why are we assuming here that this is a bad thing? If the tax disproportionately affects the 1% and the 1% leaves, was anything of value lost? Or better yet, did we lose something of negative value?

Here's an alternative take: if the 1% leaves it would be analogous to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exorcism_of_the_Gerasene_demon...

Wow, this is a very good news article. I miss when news online was so short and to the point. And what I miss even more is news articles covering both sides of the story.

It’s not a new or controversial statement. Not only personal transports, but every transport of any type of goods are shorter and more efficient. As a corollary to that less land is used for roads (per capita). Less land is used for dwellings when apartments are stacked on top of each other. This also make heating and cooling more efficient.
