People do this with all sorts of things, but ultimately want validation that they made the “right” choice. At least that’s the most charitable assumption I can make.
> the principle of it is what most of corporate taxation is built upon, and it's fundamentally different to how taxation works for individuals

They're built on a similar principle: you tax earnings. That's why we have a standard deduction. The point was to cover living expenses.

It's clearly not doing that, but the logic is similar. (I'd raise it to $50k+. Cover the cost, about $500 to 600bn, with new tax brackets at $10mm, $100mm and $1bn; a modest increase in the capital-gains rate; and by closing the carried-interest loophole.)
Would they also change the aliasing assumptions to something close to C/C++? Otherwise I imagine it would be relatively easy to make mistakes and get "surprises" at runtime thanks to the optimizer.
It's not misunderstood.

People also have costs some of which are tax deductible, yet their income is seen to be completely taxed before costs are deducted. In both personal and corporate taxes, some costs are deductible and others not. People understand this.

The point is that people find it a violation of norms how a company can arrange its taxes in a way that a salaried individual basically never can: to basically not pay any taxes while enriching some specific people more than others.

IMHO FM should be mandatory as well.
I had tried chimera-linux with dinit (on a VM with GNOME desktop) it was a good experience while it lasted and loved the TL; DR that chimera writes and it was DIY distro which was quite good like arch in it's initial days.

But now I'm back on fedora for want of packages and not being on a mainstream distro is all rainbows and unicorns until we hit the corner case or a missing package which is available only as flatpak and won't integrate with the look and feel of the desktop environment.
When is it against your own interests ?

When you want to forge something, or send your manifesto after serial killings ?

And what are you paying extra ? 0.01 USD per yellow ink cartridge, that is already wildly overpriced due to profiteering schemes ?

I'd happily pay that 0.00001% if that means a stupid serial killer gets caught once in a while.
An interesting thought experiment what would happen if we treated people as corporations. I guess we'd have to raise income taxes quite a bit to make ends meet, as most people spend everything they make.

I think the argument comes from the full title being "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". If you drop NI then the other three countries can already be grouped under the Great Britain term.
These were the first lines of Go I ever wrote 15 minutes ago, as a response to the claim that Go had working enums. This is the kind of thing that makes me itch.
https://go.dev/play/p/MMPMh7_U81-

I think "being simple" doesn't necessarily mean "must have subtle sharp edges and papercuts everywhere". Just like javascript I think it falls into a pit of being superficially "low complexity" or "simple", but all the subtle gotchas and unhelpful tooling (The fact a compiler can't help me realize I had added an entry to the enum, but forgotten to update a name list just means the whole feature is no better than just plain ints that we had in C since before I was born).

Shouldn't it be handled by your shell?
I know it's a question without the correct answer - I'm struggling with deciding what should be handled by wm, terminal, terminal multiplexer, shell, text editor.
Each time I see a programming language upgrade its base library to improve date/time handling, they all look eerily similar to the Java open source library JodaTime, which eventually became JSR-310 (essentially the "2.0" version of JodaTime in the Java base library). Does anyone else notice this? Except for leap seconds, I have never seen a real world business problem that I cannot solve with the current Java date/time APIs.

> Sarnoff, the head of NBC and RCA, decided this method was legally and ethically wrong and he ended up losing most of his biggest stars.

This is why the government needs to assure that everybody plays by the rules.

If companies out there are lying about an employee status to make them instead a contractor (looking at you Uber) the rest of companies that are following the law are hurt as other workers and society at large.

Enforcing labor law is good for the economy and good for society.
> it's absurd that one the hand they are reporting revenue to shareholders and on the other hand they are reporting no profits to tax authorities. Am I misunderstanding something here?

Yes and no. It's clearly an abuse of the tax code. But the idea that a company would have different books for the IRS and itself is no different than you probably having a different set of "books" for your household budget and tax filings. They're held to different standards of precision and serve different purposes.
To be fair you are welcome to incorporate and follow all the rules regarding what is actually business expenses vs private and most of your expenses can also be tax free.

But I doubt your employer will be too happily to now pay your salary as an invoice to a subcontractor...

You may find it's easier to just pay tax... Also look up effective tax rate vs actual tax rate...

I know many people who despite having a significant portion of their salary being taxes, when you look at their Revenue and Expenses for a given 12 month period they in fact paid no tax.

Your specific situation may be different, but you aren't a corporation.
You've said something true that misses the point.
Taxation disproportionately comes from wages, and most in the middle class can't avoid them, even though they are a pillar of the economy.
this is correct, there's even a precompiled kernel (dist-kernel), it works great! and when packages doesn't match your system settings, portage will pull the source and compile them. it's great!
The article is about functors. Some new concept that gives you a tiny subset of the functionality that a full language provides. Most languages have loops, control structures, the ability to store any data as a variable.
> what would happen if we treated people as corporations

You'd rename line items and move on. Companies can't deduct any expense. The chief ones are things they've already paid tax on, e.g. wages subject to payroll and purchases subject to sales taxes.
Whoever is funding projects are probably also interested in results over beaurocracy and it's not immediately clear how they are at all locked into this system.

They got the money, they set the rules of the game.

The fact that this isn't solves tells me that it's difficult or impossible to actually recognize promising ideas except to go by track record which leads to the problems you mentioned.
kinda. https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/
Booting up a system is a complex domain. If you randomly cut a complex domain into pieces, you will have the exact same complexity PLUS a huge amount of additional complexity for all the communication/error handling between the different parts - what other complex domain uses million tiny tools? Does chrome use curl and then pipe it into a html renderer and whatnot? Sure, there are libraries (that's a different architectural layer though with less complexity to break, and functions don't decompose arbitrarily either). The unix's philosophy is more of a sounds good on paper, and there are certain cases where it applies - it's definitely not universal.

Also, the core of systemd is not even particularly big. People often mix into completely optional modules that run under the wider systemd project, but that's a false conclusion that "systemd eats the world".

> How it managed to spread

You mean that individual distributions voted/decided separately, multiple times to choose the better tool? Debian has the most democratic voting system and unanimously voted for systemd.

And yeah, if I want to use my own display manager protocol instead of X or Wayland I would also be similarly stranded. Options are good, but standards and compatibility are just as important - a million incompatible options only give rise to chaos.

I am, for example, very happy that Linux applications are finally not as distribution-dependent and there is a good chance to run that .deb file on anything else running systemd without much trouble. I remember the times when it was not so.
I know why it works the way it works, it doesn't make it a good design, which is the point of this discussion
Yes, but not using those seems to defeat the point of using systemd.

The most convincing advocacy I have seen for systemd (by a BSD developer, its fairly well known) is that it provides an extra layer of the OS (on top of the kernel) to standardise things.
>In Trump's first term

We're in his second term now with a very different landscape and wherever this train is heading it's just getting started.

>Tariffs will just get you counter-tariffs. After Trump's direct threats to Denmark, the EU is working on a bundle of counter-tariffs to apply if needed. That will equal lost export revenue as US products get priced out of the market.

Good. Denmark policies should be Denmark First, and so on.

>It's better to be involved in the world than to be a hermit kingdom.

We can be involved in the world without buying condoms for everyone.

Note that we're not even talking about the big ones like slashing the Pentagon's budget (yet), we're literally talking about slashing the money spent on buying condoms for Palestine/Mozambique and y'all are already screaming bloody murder.

I repeat: I don't really care. I don't want our taxes spent on this bullshit. Period.
It's quite a feat to demonstrate that you know nothing about LLMs, chemistry or the nuclear industry in so few characters.
Balanced differential inputs and outputs reject common mode noise, which is why they are essential for long cable runs and microphone leads, among other things that benefit from such an interface.

The actual ADC and DAC chips, or codecs, are usually specced just fine in even consumer on-board audio devices.

Hifi audiophiles are notoriously superstitious, and as long as RCA coax is the connection standard, my eyes continue to roll about their DAC nonsense, but you should pay attention to professional audio as this is where you can hear audible differences.
Preamplifier stages and voltage amplification in general have a lot of nuance and analog circuit know-how inside.
Removing the codecs from the inside of an electrically noisy computer is the beginning of starting to care about audio signal quality.
Power filtration is another major concern for noise.
Latency is a factor of buffer size which is both necessarily low when overdubbing recording while monitoring, and yet paradoxically allows for smoother glitch free audio as the buffer size is increased, largely a function that is CPU bound.
No one talks about DMA controllers or the data bus employed, often USB, another factor that can affect audio independent of which audio interface or soundcard is employed.
Some play nicely, some don't.

My advice is to delve into the world of professional audio, as this is real.
Hi-fi often entails gullibility and snake oil in the sales chain.

> It's a long way from "Flat Tax Maybe Not Good" to "Proletariat, Seize the Means of Production Now!"

And if, just for the sake of argument, we suppose those were equivalent... Then the huge popular support for (1) means those who decry (2) are actually a weirdly out-of-touch political minority with delusions of being far bigger than they are.
> Taxation disproportionately comes from wages, and most in the middle class can't avoid them

Totally correct. Ironically, a classic labour vs. capital argument holds water better than people vs. corporations. We absolutely tax returns on labour too much in America and capital not enough. That doesn't really result in concluding that we should let people deduct more expenses or corporations pay on their top line. You're still working at the level of abstractions.
lmao I think this is cat/human interactions for sure; that said, it's easy to assume cats only talk in simple terms, like food or complaining about food.
Sorry, but there many people who do not like bloat, bad practicies and daily security bugs, partially because of the aformentioned bloat. If we settle this "gets the job done" mindset we are never going to improve.
>In the context of sexual selection affecting evolutionary fitness, it seems clear that there is an inverse relationship between wealth and number of offspring.

This inverse is caused be birth control and economic circumstance. For the poor person, more kids means more kids on the farm to work. So the poor person chooses to have more kids via not using birth control.

For rich people in rich areas, more kids equals more college tuition to pay. So the rich person chooses to have less kids via using birth control.

That's what causes it. I'm too lazy to cite sources but this comes from anthropology 101 it's textbook stuff. And like most anthro stuff the studies are qualitative, so take from it what you will.

>I am not sure if there are any scientific studies purporting to link "reputation" and either marriage or offspring. Do you know of any?

Just google it. I hit a result here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergamy

It's even in the wikipedia. It's also quite obvious if you've interacted with a lot of women before.

Look I know there's this woke movement that likes to cover up a lot of the dark stuff surrounding human behavior. Men and women have dark sides and this is just one of the darker things about women: Hypergamy. I think the thing that makes it more intriguing then the dark side of men is that culture and society basically masks this fact about women.

You see the double standard here? You can call men dumb and into boobs and butts and physical pleasures but to even mention something superficial about women you became all reactive about it like it's sexist. Men ARE into boobs and butts, that's just a fundamental truth and it's not sexist. Neither is this. It's also obvious.
excellent point. it took 6 years (!) for Backbone.js, arguably the first Javascript framework, to come out... and the same year AngularJS.
GraphQL eXpansion
Excited to share a sneak peek of something I've been working on: GraphQL eXpansion, a library designed to make GraphQL schema authoring less of a hassle by automating the repetitive bits.I've put together a quick demo to show off what this library can do.

If you dive into GraphQL often and are looking for ways to boost your productivity, this might just be the tool for you!

Would love to hear your thoughts and any feedback you might have.

"It’s amazing how closely this synthetic perceptual pipeline parallels the way our own brains interpret the world."

It is amazing, that the synthetic pipeline, that was build to mimick the brain, seems to mimick the brain?

That sounds a bit tautological and otherwise I doubt we have really understood how our brain exactly interprets the world.

In general this is definitely interesting research, but worded like this, it smells a bit hyped to me.
This has been the major frustration for me as well. That's the only thing missing for me.
That seems a fair assessment to me. The article starts with:

>It is the work of a writer for children to do the same for the world itself. Children have not yet built wide hinterlands: to them, the world is still opaque and full of necessary bewilderment. Those who write for children have the chance to point them towards beauty that they do not yet know exists

I think this is the kind of metaphysical flight of fancies that are not only useless, but lead astray.
My observation is the opposite: children find beauty everywhere. Beauty is just the natural state of things.
They have not been trained yet to see things from the lens of their own interest, which is the basis for the eye of discrimination.
Things that are good for me are beautiful, things that are bad for me are ugly. Children have yet to learn what is good or bad for them.

Then there are the "rules" of children's books... but these have changed a lot in the last century, and most of what the industry takes for granted nowadays would have seemed absurd and laughable to the great authors whose legacy she claims.

works myself. The golden era of non-linear physics literally created
fundamental new technologies each decade, By contrast "AI",
blockchains etc are culmination advancements.

The concluding remark is spot on IMHO.

ITT: apologists and haters.

Go is a bunch of preferences and aesthetics. It clearly appeals to a bunch of folks, others have a hard time putting up with it.

Everyone is free to both love and/or hate go. The language's spirit is not going to change. I'd much rather see more realism, honesty, and acceptance. Instead, this class of discussions always seems to become incessant "no u" ping-ponging.

Certainly not what I'd consider curiosity and critical thinking.

Is the engine shutoff the government mandate, or is it an implementation by the manufacturer to reduce fuel consumption and thus emissions?

I mean I get the comparison - government requires your car to have a seatbelt and your printer to have identifiable dots and your scanner to be unable to scan money - but in the case of engine shutoff it's more the manufacturer's idea. I don't know who came up with the xerox code though.
Resolvd is not part of systemd's core. Would some KDE app misbehaving be a fair criticism of the whole project?

Usually, it's the distributions problem to package software. You as a software developer publish documentation on how to build your application and then simply wait for other people to do the packaging for you. The creation of services is the same, you can maybe create a recommendation, but the service definition is part of the package file and thus not your problem.

They are influenced by other distros decisions. Debian's justification of adopting systemd starts "Systemd is becoming the de facto standard init system for Linux." https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem/systemd

I don't think that's weird. You can only append to a slice using the `append` built-in function. `append` may initialize and return a new slice at any call. It would be weird for it to not do so when passed a nil slice.
This is one of those places where a sensible theory leads to a bunch of loopholes in practice.

If we applied a 20% income tax to corporate entities, then buying a car through a dealership would cost 20% more than buying direct from the factory.

You can imagine what that would do to intermediary-heavy transactions, like when I give pension money to a fund marketplace who buy a fund who go to a stockbroker and buy shares; I'd end up paying 20% tax four times in a row.

Of course the problem with letting companies deduct expenses is they can deduct sham expenses to move expenses between tax regimes. Sell your brand name to a company in a tax haven, pay a per-product 'license fee' for the right to use the name, and suddenly you're making zero profit in the place you do all your operations, as all the profit is, on paper, being made in the tax haven.
