> Huh? Can you speak more about that?

If you give up residency in Germany and own company shares over 1%, you are taxed as if you sold them at the current value.

For private companies, this value is calculated by the tax authority with a procedure called "Vereinfachtes Ertragswertfahren" ("simplified income approach"), where they basically take the average post-tax profit of the last three years and multiply it by 13,75.

The tax you pay on that varies based on your personal circumstances (personal tax rate, church tax etc) but is around 30%.

So, the tax authority values your small company with 100k€ average yearly profit at 1,37m€ and wants you to pay roughly 400k€ exit tax for the privilege of moving out of Germany.

You already paid around 50k€ corporate tax per year to get to that 100k€ post-tax profit. And to pay out the 100k€ as dividends from the company to yourself, you pay another 25% capital gains tax on it, being left with 75k€. So to afford the exit tax, you'd have to save 100% of your profits for roughly 5 years, or less if you are able to save something from your regular salary.

This is very hard to afford under most circumstances, even with installments, and means that Germany quickly becomes a prison for even mildly successful entrepreneurs.

love this idea.
and it works pretty well!
The #1 benefit for me regarding the monorepo strategy is that when someone on the team refers to a commit hash, there is exactly one place to go and it provides a consistent point-in-time snapshot of everything. Ideally, all of the commits on master are ~good, so you have approximately a perfect time machine to work with.

I have solved more bugs looking at diffs in GitHub than I have in my debugger simply by having everything in one happy scrolly view. Being able to flick my mouse wheel a few clicks and confirm that the schema does indeed align with the new DTO model props has saved me countless hours. Confirming stuff like this across multiple repos & commits can encourage a more lackadaisical approach. This also dramatically simplifies things like ORM migrations, especially if you require that all branches rebase & pass tests before merging.

I agree with most of the hypothetical caveats, but if you can overcome them even with some mild degree of suffering, I don't see why you wouldn't fight for it.

You're saying 50% of the US are stupid and those same 50% or so are the Trump voters.

Somehow that does not compute.

During which presidency did prices go up more? During Trump's last "Tariff" presidency or during the supposed anti-Tariff Biden?

"Watch videos of" is why we're banning TikTok. Just kidding. Or maybe not. I can find stupid people in any camp (well, in some more than others) and make a video about how clueless they are. It's super patronizing to just say your opponents are stupid and IMO one of the reasons why the democrats lost these elections (no shortage of other reasons).

The delusions don't stop at any demographic or party unfortunately. We just live in a post truth, post civil discussion, polarized, society.
All of the above with some real-time algorithmic settlement wizardry tying them together? Plenty of neoliberal looting to be had on the transition from countries holding high masses of assets to lighter weight just-in-time financial engineering, too.
> However, TLS imposes message fragmentation.

If one is doing websockets on the local machine (or any other trusted network) and one has performance concerns, one should maybe consider not doing TLS.

If the websocket standard demands TLS, then I guess getting to not do that is would be another benefit of not using a major-web-browser-provided implementation.

I was a skinny fit person until a year ago when a significant event caused me serious injury that has required a reduction in my intense exercise. I'm still nominally "skinny" but pants are getting tighter after gaining 15+ pounds. I haven't changed my diet, which is fine by my standards but I don't obsess over it. Should I assume the role of a victim without agency and blame the food or the reduction in energy consumption without reducing energy intake?

That's what the orthorexic religion is really all about: Nobody should be held accountable for their decisions because of the other who did something bad to them. This belief system doesn't want people to seek real solutions to their issues because that reduces the size of the flock who can be marketed to.
I'm not sure how they feel, but when it happens to me, it's not a big deal because it's my job to do things like that. If I fuck up and cost them $10k/month I'm certainly not going to offer to reimburse them.

Thats very questionable, she was forced to drop out before the first Democratic primary for the 2020' nomination.
I'm just another nerdy, white midwestern man in a very purple area with a very common name. I lived with abuse and neglect for the first 16 years of my life at home. I have gone through my own spiral down to hell from trauma, I've had to deal with BPD, despair, and a tumor in my head. I've been suicidal every day for the majority of the past 4 years. I've had to deal with feelings of whether not society cares if I exist. I've dealt with wanting to be a victim

I don't know what to say that won't sound dismissive or hurtful, but that's Truth sometimes, it comes without judgement, just trying help with a perspective as outsider looking in

What you feel and have experienced sucks and absolutely awful, but your community is not the only ones who experience abuse. I get a sense from the LGBT community that empathy is demanded and not reciprocated, and friends and allies are pushed away. In the case of abortion, there's no mention to what the moral dilemma you're asking people to make, there's no consideration that you're asking someone to choose between you and an unborn baby, no one is really qualified to make that judgement. Some pro-lifers would argue that the defense of a defenseless creature is a higher calling. It goes for everyone, if you want people to care about you, you have to care about them.

From someone that's gone through a lot of work to deal with my own mental health, these reactions seem completely irrational and the misery is partially self imposed. I see a very emotionally immature community in denial. I see a community looking for external validation when it will never come. I see a community that puts their PTSD and mommy and daddy issues out in to the world and it's a bit much to deal with for normal people. I see a community that has had a lot of hardship and doesn't see that it warps their world view, I'm a believer that most people are good people, your community deserves protection as much as any other but it should also do it's part in helping itself

I absolutely hate it but there's not enough nurturing in world to deal with how brutal nature can be sometimes

Everyone has to deal with the fact people are never going to completely understand you, 100% of people aren't going to like you, there's crazy people out there on the wrong drugs that would kill you just for looking at them weird

There's a good chunk of people that support the 2nd amendment because there is no other higher natural right than your right to defend your existence
> I don't find this kind of cynicism accurate or particularly helpful

For me, living amidst riots and have friends/family caught up in war zones has swiftly altered my views. There's goodness no doubt, but the powers that be, once they breach, won't be mucking about.
Not a waste of time —

See aforementioned posts for actual, well-reasoned arguments from world-renowned UC Berkeley professor and former Cabinet Secretary Robert Reich, which Redoubts hasn’t refuted.

The case that resulted in Trump being convicted of 34 federal felony counts wasn’t the weakest case; that’s demonstrated by the jury, selected by both sides, having deliberated over the available evidence and both sides’ arguments, and having reached a unanimous verdict.

The Georgia case had been going much more slowly because it’s a much more complex case, for obvious reasons. Its current stalled status has to do with the conflict of interest that Willis created. If the case somehow resumes, the jury, selected by both sides, will decide the case.

The speed and outcomes of these cases are not “political competence or incompetence” matters on the part of Democrats.
As a fellow 13-month-old parent, I'm so sorry for what life is throwing at you. Hang in there and feel absolutely no shame or guilt for letting anything go. If some responsibility has to get dropped on the floor, so be it.

Quite. I get the point but why not volunteer (to do something) and really show your grit?

Pissing around with M primes and trying to make a point is a bit wank as a stance from a multi-zillionaire.

The minutes and stock grants take about 2 minutes at the very end.

The real purpose is an assessment of product/market fit, customer adoption, product development and financial results. Each are taken up qualitatively and qualitatively based on an artifact (either memo or slides) created by the CEO and discussed during the meeting.

The CEO creates the agenda, proposes it to the board members who give feedback, then creates the artifact based around the agenda in order of importance. Discussion ensues about the artifact and how much progress is being made, how satisfying that is, and changes/decisions for the CEO to take in follow-up.

It's typically a discussion meeting rather than a decision meeting. It should force reflection and progress with the CEO contriving and making decisions about changes to make to financial, customer and product decisions in follow-up solo. Then the next meeting you check on what effect that had.

Meta is not fundamentally better than Bytedance. Their business model is addiction combined with accumulating and misusing user data.
“Better” is a very subjective statement, after a very long absence from playing games, I’ve started again - and the positive impact on my mental health and therefore time spent on other more “serious” activities is both increased and more focused.
how poor is poor then? 44k is at 12% for taxes.
This article seems vacuous to me. It misses the point that tuples are fundamental to the language with c-speed native support for packing, unpacking, hashing, pickling, slicing and equality tests. Tuples appear everywhere from the output of doctest, to time tuples, the result of divmod, the output of a csv reader and the output of a sqlite3 query.

Tuples are a core concept and fundamental data aggregation tool for Python. However, this post uses a trivial `Point()` class strawman to try to shoot down the idea of using tuples at all. IMO that is fighting the language and every existing API that either accepts tuple inputs or returns tuple outputs. That is a vast ecosystem.

According the glossary a named tuple "any type or class that inherits from tuple and whose indexable elements are also accessible using named attributes." Presumably, no one disputes that having names improves readability. So really this weak post argues against tuples themselves.
Both things can be true. Conservative media outlets know that these issues evoke visceral reactions from the base and therefore they can sell more ads.

But I’ve also encountered teachers who confided that they teach gender fluidity to their 1st grade class without parental consent. Teaching trans ideology to children has become a humanitarian cause for many on the left and there’s a strong desire among parents for public school systems to take an aggressive stance against the handful of bad actors doing this.

I’m saying about 50% of the people who voted in the last three elections—not 50% of the population—are stupid, yes. And I think that’s borne out by the absolutely terrible and destructive policies articulated by the people they voted for.

What’s so hard to understand about that?

> Dixon v Love (among others) have held that personally operating a motor vehicle (“driving”) is a privilege rather than an inherent right.

The question in that case is whether someone's license can be suspended after conviction of traffic offenses without a separate hearing on the suspension. Denial of rights is common practice upon conviction of a crime, e.g. unless you've been convicted of a crime you generally have a right not to be incarcerated.

> You can take a bus, taxi, or airplane to travel.

So if you're a farmer in New Jersey and have to deliver your produce to a farm-to-table restaurant in New York City, which of these is supposed to apply? Also notice how little this has to do with tolls. If your license was suspended you could pay an employee to drive your truck into the city but the E-ZPass tag doesn't care about that.
The second graph in that article ("The Partisan Gap on Economy Ratings") is alarming. In mid-2016, ~30% of Republicans said the economy was doing good. By mid-2017, that figure passed ~80%. By comparison, optimism among Democrats fell from ~70% to ~55% over that same time period.

I wonder if we'll make it to March 2025 before half of Republicans once again say that the economy is doing quite well.
Absolutely not.

It's clear with how people ranked issues on exit polls,

Absolutely nobody would have won for the Democrats. The economic sentiment was too powerfully negative

Or you can be a D-leaning voter who sees D only rising to the level of a less-awful version of putting rich people before you, and you want to discipline D for taking all the D-leaning votes for granted, rather than earning them by being effective on your behalf.

Or you can be an R-leaning voter who sees both R and D as putting rich people before them, and then D goes and adds insult to injury with some stunt, but at least this one R candidate sounds like they might make things better. (Helped along by a lot of disinformation, as well as being alienated by D voters in general. You see many D voters as a bunch of elitists who're benefiting more than you, and are screwing you, while they pick causes or other people to favor that you think are stupid and unfair.)

Years ago, I was horrified, the first time I heard a D-leaning college student tell me they weren't voting D, to discipline D, in a very important election. My first thought was that this sounded like some revolutionary-till-graduation thing, which probably sounded better in their head, but now I sorta see.

Having seen a few elections and administrations since then, with D consistently seeming not to earn the votes of people, I've come around to understanding, even if I don't full agree. If many people either go out of their way to discipline D, or simply can't be bothered to go to the polls, IMHO, it's hard to blame them.

A bit similar with R voters.

We're all being served poop sandwiches, who aren't working for us, and we are desperate or depleted.

The 8000 hour players might not even know what they themselves want anymore. Usually when they get to that point and they're submitting feedback requesting rather large changes, it's unlikely that they'll find much joy even if their requests are implemented exactly. They are burnt out with the game and that's not something that is fixed by making their grinds easier, adding a load more maps/weapons, or overhauling a system within the game.

When they've fallen out of love with the game, the best solution is to take a long break or just fully move on.
I was on the fork train for awhile but cursors keeps having weird issues with indexing, intellisense, not being able to save files when format on save is enabled I wound up going back to vscode with cline and use openrouter to save money via prompt caching. To my knowledge cursor doesn't have Claude sonnets computer use enabled yet which is a total game changer and cline does I'll check back in a few months but instead of paying 20 a month for cursor pro I can put 20 in credits in openrouter and fully leverage the latest Claude model and features
I was a boomer latchkey kid, first coming to to the next door neighbors' in elementary school in the mid-60s to coming home along in the later 60s and 1970s. It was fine, but then it was semi-rural Puget Sound area in the 60s...lots of neighbor kids, very few places to hang out except the street and each others' houses. Mom and dad came home from work, we all had dinner and spent the evening together. No divorces, even among my friends. I know the 80s and 90s were a different world.
social media platforms are an arm of state. as much as i distrust this government and its motives, there is every reason to treat the company as a front for CCP policy.

that said, banning their operations appears to remove any legal leverage the govt might have with the company while still dealing with the app being installed everywhere, which seems clumsy. with less than a year left in office the govt probably doesn't have any remaining runway for strategy, so this may just be posturing. there are a lot of ways to look at it.

cynically I might speculate there could be a domestic surveillance/interception rationale for making them close their operations, as the app is a full communications platform and if it backhauls to a domestic regional data centre, the federal agencies need warrants to do interception and would have to give their monitoring tech to the chinese company on their premises, whereas if the traffic is international, they can do mass interception using their existing mandates.

It's not fraud. It's people for whatever reason not voting. The US population grew by 4m IIRC in 4 years, and even the projections of the remaining ballots seems to suggest that 6-8m less people voted.

Yes, all people are saying is that absentees increased and ballots decreased.

A drop down list of birth dates/years "works" for most age restricted sites - I guess the logic is that if a user is lying about their age, it's not the sites problem.

Article states that sites must demonstrate they are taking reasonable measures to enforce this though - a lot will come down as to how courts interpret that. If they go to the extremes of the KYC laws in australia I imagine a significant fraction of adults will not want to verify their age.
Said differently, many government programs for citizen retirement benefits (eg Social Security) are structured as Ponzi Schemes that require population increases over time so later generations can pay for earlier generations.

If population is declining, it breaks how these programs are funding because there’ll be less n the younger generation to pay for the more people in the older generation.
