The build times on async-stripe are inhumane. I wish the project didn't use so much codegen.
Yes, this process also filters out candidates who would refuse to go in such a hiring process.

I think the goals of having a good match are nevertheless important. Perhaps it is better to communicate these goals to your candidate co-founder and figure out together what the best approach is to verify them.
Thanks! lmk when/if you wanna give it a spin as free trial hasn't been updated with the latest but I'll try to do it this week.

I've actually been playing around with speech to text recently. Thank you for the pointer, docker is a bit too heavy to deploy for desktop app use case but it's good to know about the repo. Building binaries with Pyinstaller could be an option though.

Real time transcription seems a bit complicated as it involves VAD so a feasible path for me is to first ship simple transcription with whisper.cpp. large-v3-turbo looks fast enough :D
Or you just pay a property management company, which comes off pre tax.
I'm sure the same exists for .NET ( Moq can probably do it? ), but writing against an interface and having concrete implementations supplied by the DI framework is pretty much the ordained way to do things in .NET.

I used to be in the "Interfaces with only a single implementation is a code smell" camp, but I prefer to follow the principle of least surprise, so going with the flow and following the way the MS standards want you to do things makes it easier to onboard developers and get people up to speed with your code base. Save "Do it your own way" for those parts of the system that really requires it.

And technically the auto-generated mock is a second implementation, even if you never see it.

What places other than the EU does the "easy to cross borders as a part of life" apply to?
Yes but that is because taxes are incoherent and abhorrent

Why do we tax realized capital gains at all and why based on the ruler of fiat which is controlled by those who tax (they keep making the ruler shorter)

If the goal is to creat drag on multiplicative dynamics then do so coherently

Tax should make sense at least in core targets. Yet there are no core targets.
Yes.

Each connection lives in its own isolated sandbox, and only communicates with other connections through the “file system” (which is a virtual abstraction, actually).

WAL mode is the “exception”: a few pages of the sandbox's memory are mapped to a file, and shared by all connections to the same database.

Each sandbox is single threaded, and mostly lock free, does all its business in the calling goroutine, and regularly checks back with the Go runtime to play nice with the Go scheduler.

It's a bit like an OS running multiple processes, with the VFS layer handling all syscalls.
Linux probably boots faster fwiw. As a starting point, see this bench: https://www.daemonology.net/blog/2021-08-12-EC2-boot-time-be...
That's nice, but a tool like this *HAS* to be distributed as a single binary, otherwise it's just too much hassle to bootstrap it, specially on Windows, or stripped out docker containers.
Indeed. Passive income is taxed at a much lower rate than working income in the U.K, and that includes property rents (after paying expenses like a managing agent) and dividends

Capital gains is taxed even lower than that.

> How is it not realized?

Because of the definition of what realized income is. Borrowing is not income.

You mention below that you own a Washingtonian condo and a Virginian home. Let’s imagine that they are both $100,000 and that you have no other money or debts. Your net worth is thus $200,000.

You go to your bank and say ‘I would like to borrow against the value of my assets please,’ and they say, ‘certainly, here is $90,000.’ Your bank account now goes up $90,000, your condo is still worth $100,000 and your home is still worth $100,000. Your net worth is still $200,000 (not $290,000) because you also now have $90,000 of debt. You did not realise any income, even though your bank account is now full of money, because your debt account is now negative.

‘But I am paying property taxes!’ you might say. Sure, property taxes are a form of wealth tax, and there is no similar tax on stocks — but that is irrelevant to this discussion (although it could be relevant in a different one).

To illustrate why, let’s use another example. You still have the Washingtonian condo and the Virginian home, and they are both still worth $100,000 apiece. This time, you only borrow $45,000 against the value of the condo. That money moves from a bank on Washington to your bank account in Virginia. Do you owe Virginia income tax on that money? No, because it’s not income. But Virginia is not getting paid any property taxes for the property backing that loan! Irrelevant, again because a loan is not income.

Likewise, you can imagine owning another property in some state or country without property taxes at all. You borrow against it, is that loan income? Nope.

Now, let’s imagine the counterfactual, where loans count as income. You go to buy your $100,000 condo, put down $20,000, borrow $80,000, spend all $100,000 on the condo — and now you would owe income taxes on that $80,000. Gosh, that doesn’t seem fair. You had $20,000, spent it all borrowed the rest, and now you own a condo, owe property taxes and owe income taxes on $80,000, even though you have no money.

Does any of this help you understand? Owning an asset is not fictitious, it’s just not income. An income tax is levied on income, so an asset is not relevant to an income tax (relevant to an asset tax, of course!).

Why should you be taxed on it at all?tax is policy. You tax things you want people to consume less of.

Inflation makes nominal values to up.

More inflation more capital gains. Gov is now incengltivized to inflate to pull tax out of realized assets that have not even gained real value

Is this "nature" in the room with us right now?

Seriously — the US and Europe have not been in a remotely "natural" condition since over a century before I was born. Even the air we breathe is significantly different from its natural condition.

Why do you think I gave that example?
Australians (and other outsiders) use that term when talking about aspects of the US because that is the Hollywood picture of how the US functions.

But why does it matter in a general context? It's like me referring to a group of people by the colour of their shoes or the material of the coats that they wear. It seems oddly segregational.

"Probably some kind protestant" surely, it would be Catholic as that's the largest denomination.

But my point is why you need to specify what kind of Christians are you talking about? Or why would you assume that you are talking about a subset of Christians only? Imagine talking about the weather in the western world in terms of city neighbourhoods. Sure, it helps knowing what specific area you are talking about but it seems oddly meticulous. I don't know if this is an anglo-saxon thing as I have seen Brits and North Americans talking in this way. But I haven't seen anyone from Germany, Italy or Spain talking in this way.

I suspect it might be a thing that people raised in non-Catholic countries say because in my experience, Catholics will see all Christians as Christians and not with some othering kind of word (see us-vs-them group dynamics in psychology). That othering emphasises the differences (often used by people that seek to distance themselves from them all despite the commonalities) while using the same word highlights the commonalities (often used by people that embraces them all despite the differences) I notice this non-Catholic pattern of us-vs-them othering in the context of Catalonia and Taiwan too so I suspect it might be an us-vs-them group dynamics thing.

I live in a complex and my neighbour on one side has a metal awning over their back door. A neighbour on the other side enclosed their patio in glass and it has windows that can open so that they are at the same angle as an awning.

As a result during summer mornings both of them are blasting me with tight beams of sunlight which increases the temperature in my place while forcing me to keep my curtains closed until later in the morning when they stop blinding me.
Oh? I stand corrected. I thought it was for angina.

I tried probiotics, tonnes of different types, none of them worked, most made it worse.

I tried fasting, a few days eating nothing and drinking only water with a bit of salt. It doesn't really work. The bacteria go into hibernation mode until you start eating again.

I don't drink milk anymore and I tried a low FODMAP diet. The latter helped, but I found it so hard to keep up and it was stressful.

I had every diagnostic under the sun. Chest xrays, stool samples, hydrogen methane breath tests (hydrogen positive). I am 99% convinced it was all caused by stress and the antibiotics I took was the straw that broke the camels back.

Stress triggers flight or fight mode. Chronic stress means you're always in this state which means your body isn't producing the digestive enzymes and stomach acid it needs to maintain correct bacteria levels since you don't need to digest food when you're being chased by a metaphorical tiger, better use that energy to run away instead.

The only probiotic I haven't tried that I would like to try is Symprove which is a refrigerated one that was recommended to me by quite a few pharmacists.

Once I am fully confident my stress levels are very low and I've learnt to manage them I will start to wean off the supplements and see if I get a recurrence of symptoms. I'm not yet fully cured but most importantly I'm on the right track.

> A government paying for a thing does not in any way imply that the thing is a good use of money.

Agreed, nor is the inverse implied of course. But what is your point?

> How many decades of fabric replacements could you get from the savings of bolting on a simple metal frame as compared to an elaborate electromechanically actuated arm mechanism?

That's what I'm saying, fabric doesn't really need to get replaced in 15 years and going from personal experience. The mechanism is simple enough to be reliable as well.

Ultimately, it's impossible to analyze the cost benefits of this. It's a matter of personal taste and what the harshness of the local climate allows. I don't doubt that fixed awnings are cheaper - but actuating awnings fix their drawbacks, and the maintenance they introduce is minimal in my experience. And frankly, for the price of giving up a single vacation in 15+ years, it's not that expensive. Again, cheap enough that those in social housing can make the choice to get them installed.

ETA: my point of mentioning social housing is to say that people with lower income can still get them. The government doesn't pay for it. I just wanted to paint a picture of the relative cost.
Low population and high income from natural resources.
"there exists no evidence whatsoever that the ingested fluoride can have any beneficial effect on teeth"

That is simply wrong. When fluoride comes into contact with developing teeth, it incorporates into the enamel crystal structure, forming fluorapatite, which is more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria that cause cavities.
You can absolutely do that but then you pay by the token instead of a big upfront hardware cost. It feels different I suppose. Sunk cost and all that.
My theory is that this will only ever happen if battery technology improves enough that they can get the same battery life as current flagship models, but in that smaller form factor. People may say they don't care about battery life or charging, but if a year or two in you have to charge every night, it is an inconvenience, even if not front and center. I suspect this is one of the main reasons they don't want to do that right now, they don't want to create this image of oh damn, my Apple device is out of battery again.

To be fair BMI is based on Belgians from the 1850s with all the implications it has. Modern people are much taller (+15 cm for males) and eat a lot more protein.

So the line between normal and overweight is somewhat blurry. e.g. someone who is 6'3" and weighs 200 pounds is overweight. Which might or might not be the case (but you certainly don’t need to a body builder or invest a lot of time to maintain at least reasonably healthy 18-20% body fat ratio).

I have seen many times this argument about children who cannot be taught that the toothpaste must not be swallowed, but I am skeptical about how many such children exist.

As a small child, I certainly did plenty of stupid things, but none was of this kind. Perhaps that was due to the fact that my parents never imposed arbitrary prohibitions, but they always explained why it would be bad to do something that was forbidden for me. So if they said that toothpaste must not be swallowed, because it is toxic, I never swallowed it.

Therefore I believe that if there exist such children who swallow toothpaste, that is entirely the fault of their parents. This is not a more normal behavior than eating stones or any other objects. Any children who are old enough to be able to wash their teeth by themselves should be old enough to know what may be eaten and what must not be eaten.
This is such a silly argument. A movable awning isn't some complex apparatus, it's literally a hinge and two sticks. You're trying to frame this as some kind of an expensive problem when it really isn't.
Except that fluoride naturally occurs in drinking water around the world. Some places have far too much. Would removing the excess amount also be "mass medication"?

No clue why this turned into a huge debate. I don’t have a dog in this fight, all I’m saying is that america has retractable awnings, they have some downsides, and a government (or a “low class” individual) buying something doesn’t convince me it’s a good investment.

"Only superior military technology can credibly deter war."

No. Various other factors including large alliances, trade risks, etc can deter war. And by far the biggest "deterrent" among our military technologies is nuclear weaponry, which relies on 1940s technology, thus undermining the essay's thesis that we need to innovate more in defense to prevent war.

With that said, many of the essay's suggestions are sound recommendations for improving the USA's ailing defense industry. I think that the consolidation of companies into a small number of conglomerates is particularly damaging.
