What's your point? I think you're trying to argue that we tax the wealthy as much as the middle class, but this claim doesn't support that. The 10th percentile of earnings in the US is 190k. The 5th is 290k. The 10-5th percentile is reasonable to class as "upper middle class" in many high cost locales.

5th percentile plus might be a reasonable proxy for wealthy, but even if they pay half of income tax receipts, that's not proof that we tax their income as much as we tax the middle class's. Income for the top 5% is on a power law curve. The top 1% starts at 850k - if they contribute twice as much as someone at the top 5, (290k), their percent is still lower.

Meanwhile, capital gains are taxed lower than ordinary income, and the wealthy make most of their income from capital gains. And the most exotic loopholes for reducing taxes on wealth are most available for the ultra wealthy.

If someone earning 5m/year pays 1m/year in tax, they should fire their accountant. And also they're paying less in tax than most upper middle class folks by percentage.

If a lot of people have that same phone number in their contacts but only a handful have it as "Big Baws", "Honey Bunny" or "Timmeh 12 inches uncut" but do have as Tim Cook, or even have his job description, email address and other stuff attached to it too, it's safe to say it's a dead ringer to be Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, Inc.

War is a Racket - Smedley Butler

Over 80 percent of four-star retirees are employed in defense industry[0].
Biden continues the bipartisan tradition of putting Defense Contractors in top posts.[0]

Lloyd Austin was on the board of Raytheon.

"Before Austin, another person with ties to Raytheon, the contractor’s chief lobbyist Mark Esper, held the reins of the Pentagon. Esper’s predecessors, Patrick Shanahan and James Mattis, had respectively been a senior vice president at Boeing and a board member of General Dynamics. Ellen Lord, the former president and CEO of Textron Systems, oversaw the Pentagon’s weapon acquisitions.

...

Frank Kendall, chosen by Biden to lead the Air Force. Kendall, a former vice president at Raytheon who served as Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics for President Barack Obama, has spent the last few years as an adviser and consultant to defense contractors. Kendall’s disclosures show that the bulk of his income has come from advising Northrop Grumman, followed by income from Renaissance Strategic Advisors, an investment firm that arranges mergers and acquisitions in the defense sector."[1]

I've been rather happy with Librera, although when reading foreign languages, I prefer KOReader for its locally installed dictionary lookups (you have to add them). Note that these are both reader software, first, and not advanced library management packages (as far as I know).

The last I checked, Librera also had two versions on the Play store, with the paid pro (or whatever) version sending a few dollars towards the Ukrainian developer. Who's been donating to the defense efforts since the war started. Or was; that language now appears to be gone from the web site.

Anyway, for those not familiar with FDroid and/or who want to contribute to development other that via PayPal -- or, looks like now that would be Patreon.

Hello! I'm Elise, the author of the post. Figured I'd jump in and say that in addition to Ruby, I really like Cucumber. But I think the non-technical people focus really cuts a lot out. For me, Cucumber gives the whole team(tech and non-tech) a shared language for what the software does.

I don't use it much anymore, because most companies seem to have moved away from it. But, I do miss it and wish we had something similar that could encouraged that level of shared understanding.

What the Kremlin says and what is actually means and does are so fundamentally divorced that it would be endearing that you think you can take them at their word if it wasn't so painful because even the slightest bit of study on the subject would tell you how dangerously foolish that is.

The Kremlin has telepraphed exactly one thing, since forever: they'll try to get away with blatant bluff, force, oppression and otherwise until the day Muscovy is no more.

The only rational thing would be to bite the bullet now, while it is at its smallest in years, and take the Kremlin out. Just end it, and forcibly put something sane in its place. The good news is that this snake doesn't have much more than a head, and that disintegration is a given.

>Is it useful to challenge you to look at one of these patents and actually try to build the thing?

I don't particularly think so. Patents are meant for a person of "ordinary skill" in the art. I don't make these devices. I'm not a person equipped to offer an opinion on whether the patent discloses sufficient information.

>Sorry, nothing was forcibly publicly disclosed here. These guys got patent protection, the public got nothing.

The way the invention works is what is disclosed. Patents aren't blueprints. It's even more ridiculous that you are making this comment when Apple seems to have infringed.

They don't support overt racism, but they do have an ideological blindspot for any racism that might require government action to resolve.

They are biased towards an individualist, "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" interpretation of racism. As long as there isn't overt discrimination, any racial discrepancy is assumed to be the result of choices or inate capabilities differing between individuals of different races.

They are heavily biased against admitting to the existence of any systematic racism.
To be more precise : wages in big cities are high. Most “things” are made in low cost of living / low wage areas.

Therefore, paying a local to cook for you is expensive. Buying a kitchen knife made by someone in a low cost of living area is cheap.

This also means that buying a custom knife handmade by a local artisan in your city will be expensive.
This is interesting — I knew people who had license plate stickers but didn't realize it was possible to get them officially. An acquaintance had one one her Tesla and she said that she got it online a couple years ago. It sounds like there are multiple vendors that sell them, even though only one sells them officially (my friend had hers before the pilot launched). I wonder if there's any practical way to tell the difference between the official versions and knockoffs, without resorting to running the plates (which might show whether the DMV has a vinyl plate on record) or pulling over the vehicle to ask for the official letter that the article mentions. I assume a lot of people will buy from unofficial sources if the risk of getting caught is low, in order to save the $130 additional fee.

I don't even hate the idea of generating HTML responses in the database (why not, that's where all the data is!), but this is very clearly not the way to do it. Those functions read like plain PHP scripts, and are obviously just as vulnerable. Just as PHP's problems are largely solved these days by frontend frameworks like Laravel, so could a frontend framework in the database solve the same problems here.

I have to say I always liked the Postgres project, but this kind of dangerous and wrong information in an official tutorial makes me wary of using the platform. Who knows what other lessons from the bad old days have been forgotten by the developers?

It’s not that different from any third-party client though. Remember Trillian? https://web.archive.org/web/20020326174902/http://trillian.c... As they note back in 2002: “ Fixed AOL Connectivity Bug: Yes, again and again and again.”

And they write:
> Going forward, Cerulean Studios is committed to maintaining interoperability across all major IM networks. We will continue to work hard and pursue the necessary avenues to keep this a reality. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to all of you out there supporting us!

We’ve allowed third-party ecosystems to develop elsewhere before. And it’s been said before that the cost to Apple is minimal if you exclude the lock-in effect. Amortized across a global base, running a chat network is barely $1/year/user for the average case is what I’ve seen before on HN.

I’m not saying using a third-party client needs to be completely free - paying Apple in either attention or money makes some sense. But considering that many folks with Android phones might also have Mac laptops or subscribe to Apple Music, it doesn’t seem impossible that Apple could allow for interoperability across devices and clients and that lawmakers could encourage this.

Ship the keys with the device on a sheet of paper. Generate them on first boot, display them and strongly encourage users to print and save them. Provide keys to the user on request after a reasonable identity verification. Have the user provide an emergency fallback password on device registration. Hire a skywriter to draw random characters and give the user a particular time to start and stop recording. Mail a hardcopy of the keys to the user. Encode the keys as a subliminal message that your device plays to you in Steve Jobs' voice while you sleep.

Really, literally any other option than "never give the user keys".
It's not losing the information that the computer holds that's the risk. For most people, their computer contains the keys to be able to steal all their money and major assets, commit crimes in their name, defraud their family and friends, and endanger their employment. Those keys are embodied in the trusted ability to access their primary email and social media accounts, and possibly their work accounts too.
I'm surprised that the defendants in the Bowers case didn't raise a public policy argument. Wouldn't the reverse-engineering exceptions both to copyright (made by common law precedent through fair use) and the DMCA (section 1201(f)) be strong evidence of such a public policy position? Were it otherwise, any copyright holder could lock their software behind an EULA or similar agreement that prohibits reverse-engineering and foreclose what would otherwise be fully legal research into the non-copyrightable expression/systems/methods in the software code.
