There are a lot of things that are required in life and that are not deductible. Right now the deduction increases prices and makes changing jobs a lot more risky / a pain.

Also, corporate write-offs for health insurance benefits has nothing to do with what happens to your healthcare when you get laid off. If anything not having it be deductible would help because then you're insurance has no reason to be tied to your employment so you could just pay for it yourself like you do anything else.

What would fix your scenario is universal healthcare.

... Seriously? Link to bio? I'm really impressed. This is why I love coding. Someone can dive in, create something out of nothing, in virtually no time.

I personally can't work with that kind of noise. I prefer classical music or something like that. But, I know people do thrive in this kind of environment. Really neat idea. Surely the creator had a background in UI/UX design??
OK, so this is your logic:

1) By your interpretation, there's a law in Brazil that prohibits the use of any currency that is not Brazil's national currency.

2) Because Bitcoin is not Brazil's national currency, you are now worried because NameCheap is now using Bitcoin, and will drop your company accounts with them.

So my main question is: why weren't you worried when Namecheap started accepted US Dollars (i.e., since their founding)? After all USD are not Brazil's national currency. Does this law distinguish between USD and other currencies? This is not the case according to the case you cited.

Most importantly, the law you refer to above, and the case you cited, all seem to involve government payments. And you've cited no other specific laws, other than this one (LEI Nº 4.595, DE 31 DE DEZEMBRO DE 1964), which is basically the law governing the establishment of a national currency. So according to this law, you have to pay the Government of Brazil in Brazilian currency (reales) for taxes, government contracts, etc. This is entirely reasonable; the US Government has a similar law. In the US, at least, this law does not outlaw the use of other currencies. And since multinational corporations do business in USD in Brazil every day of the week, it seems to me extremely unlikely that this outlaws the use of foreign currencies in Brazil. You just can't pay Brazilian government taxes or for other government services in other currencies.

Even if your real name is not displayed on Youtube, Google still links your Youtube handle to all the other information it has about you, so it's sort of a moot point - anyone who wants to can find out that "deathmaster1701" is really Reginald Brown of 132 North Hanover Street.
My daughter had an itchy eye. I took her to the doctor at a children's clinic affiliated with a well-known children's hospital. They asked for $150 upfront which I paid. The doctor came, examined her for five minutes and wrote a prescription for an allergy medicine that cost over a hundred dollars. Two weeks later we got the bill. They tacked on another $175 for moving us from one room to another. I forgot how they expressed it, but that seemed to be the reason. Over $400 and the medicine didn't really help.

No... we see tons of bug reports. Just not from OpenBSD users.

If you're saying OpenBSD users are in general pickier about what software they install based on what practices are used to develop that software I'd certainly believe it. I've certainly done no studies myself to figure out why there are so few bug reports so I can't say any one reason is better than another.

It depends on how much rest you're getting inbetween your intervals. If the rest is short enough that your heart rate never goes back down to normal, then you're also working your aerobic capacity.

When I train jiu-jitsu, I do several rounds of live rolling. Usually something like 4 6-minute rounds with a minute rest inbetween. The hard part of live rolling is the anaerobic part: quick spurts of high intensity. How fast you can recover from them, and how often you can sustain doing them over time determines how well, athletically, you will do. But this is also a 30 minute period with an elevated heart-rate, and you never are fully rested inbetween your anaerobic bursts. So, it is also an aerobic workout.

Despite not doing much explicit cardio training, I still have the cardio capacity to run decent distances with decent times, on the rare occasions I do. That's because I am training my aerobic system even though most of the exercises are anaerobic. (I once went on a 9 mile run having not gone on a run in over 6 months, having only done jiu-jitsu training and conditioning during that time. My lungs were fine. My legs were not.)

Why would bad things happen due to that? Are there roving gangs of thieves desperately searching the internet for the addresses of people to rob?

I really doubt things have much in this regard, and one likely could do this just as easily (and with the same relative safety) as in the past. OTOH, it tends to be far less useful/necessary now.

> Causality is certainly a problem. FTL is impossible in the same way that dividing a number by zero is impossible or taking the square root of a negative number is impossible.

This assertion is false. GR, even without FTL, allows for closed time-like loops, which violate causality. Violations of causality are not logical contradictions like dividing by zero. (Though, of course, there are alternative mathematical systems that allow for dividing by zero. And taking the square root of a negative number is surely not impossible. You just get an Imaginary result.) It's just that a universe in which causality is violated all the time would be a very strange one, and consequently, it is reasonable to assume that if there are, for instance, closed time-like loops in the universe, they are not traversed very often.

Take any single enjoyable thing and do it 5 times a week, every week. You'd have a law of diminishing returns situation. You'd get to a point where you no longer derive enjoyment from it and you may start to resent it.

Not to be glib, but does that apply to working from home?
The problem is we don't really know how we'd do that yet - we have no prototypes on Earth, so it would all have to be invented. I'd budget a decade for that, cautiously, since it has to work once we get there.

A much better plan would be an expedition with no set return date (other then intention) - if you were going to land people. A reasonably self-sustaining habitat could probably be set up if we could prove a few key things (namely - can you grow things in Martian soil if you provide an atmosphere, and can you find extra water while you're there?)

The big benefit of a fly by mission - the one we should take advantage of - would be to put people close enough that we could do more frequent rover moves since they'd have real time control for a period while in orbit.
writing is a leisure activity and not a profession

I'm not so convinced this applies to journalism, because I don't consider journalism (actual, real journalism) to be 'writing' in the sense you're discussing it. It involves extensive research, interviews, data processing (more so these days)... it isn't just sitting down and writing an article. That is often the smallest part of a journalistic project.
Any comments on "Features such as the combined URL/search bar may be unoriginal, but they were worth copying."?

On iOS with its split URL/search, I like it that the keyboard layout and autocorrect adjust to what you are doing. Is that less of an or no issue on Android, with its different way to do autocorrection?
OH yeah totally. I made $1500 in sales of my book just from Business Insider reposting a relevant article I once wrote.

I have similar thoughts towards Vundle. It seems to solve a problem that simply doesn't exist for me with Pathogen, and is slightly more annoying to boot.

Tell HN: Business is not easy job
Managing a business is no easy job, I tell you.

From handling clients deadline to managing partners co-operation to employee and on going self projects with keeping an eye on the competitors statement to an argument going on Facebook about your last action and ensuring cash that's running out of your hand to the sleepless night and broken relationships and parents, all without any experience takes the soul out of your life just hoping for good days to come ahead.

Should your really start a business straight when you are out of college? How do you manage everything when there are no experience whatsoever of any business other than being born in a lower-mid-class business mans' family?

You know you are going to do business of your own and you can't imagine yourself working for some cocky boss who tells you what to do and what not to. You know you want to have your own startup and you know that it's super risky. You know it's going to be tough and high and lows.. but you can't say when it's going to be okay!!!
Maybe, but remote work is not the same as working from home.
I liked this one commentor as well, "she did NOT have the budget 4 Dat, and did I know anyone who would do it for FREE?"

I get this a lot from technical recruiters. "Your hourly rate is too high, but do you know anyone else?" Dude, my friends are all pros and we all come at a high price. And I'm certainly not going to do your job for you tracking them down. GTFO.

> It's deductible no matter who pays.

That does not square with this[1]:
If you are not self-employed, and you don't work for a company that provides health insurance with a cafeteria plan, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows you to count health and dental insurance premiums as part of the 7.5% of your adjusted gross income that has to be spent on health care before any out-of-pocket medical expenses can be deducted.

Show me the desktop Linux equivalent of Android, not Cyanogenmod. It doesn't exist - and you can measure that failure with any number of metrics.

Sounds like what you're really saying is "you can come up with any metrics you want, then define that as failure to justify my position". There's really no objective basis for saying "desktop Linux is a failure", especially when there's no objective standard by which we could say "desktop Linux is a success" either.

Like somebody else just said "market share? Who cares?" Market share is a means to an end, not it's own end. Desktop Linux works reasonably well for a certain population of people with a certain set of values. Does anybody expect that desktop Linux should gain Microsoft Windows like ubiquity?
I can't believe people even mention Josef Muller Brockmann to compare this UI kit with something like Minimalism. People at Designmodo are telling you to "...better to use different shades of provided colors than new." This is not a flat design guide, this is not minimalism. This is fashion trend. This is dogma.

And as designers we shouldn't be following trends so easily, so blindly. We have the knowledge to create interfaces that work. We don't need pre-baked buttons and colors.

Shame on us.

My startup Scoopinion does try to find the high quality journalism, this is how we do it:
Take a set of sites that
1) Have an editor and or are established blogs.
2) Publish content that you can show to your mother
3)

Then we have a community of readers with "Scrobbling" browser add-on that measures reading speed and read through percentage. Whenever they read, they implicitly rate the article with their behavior. Later the articles are recommended to people who read same sources, topics and journalists.
This has worked pretty well, at least what we hear from our users. If someone has better definitions of quality journalism, would love to hear those.
Yet home laser printers have their place. They are ubiquitous. They are useful. They replaced entire classes of professional (typists, copyeditors, pasteup artists).
It simply amazes me how many companies do not invest in rock star HR departments. Most HR departments are paper pushers and tell people to not take any risks whatsoever. A totally stagnant way to do business.

I was not saying a thing about property rights. The "force" appears when two people disagree and instead of trying to find a better argument, one of them takes out a gun and tells another one to shut up (instead of leaving the conversation).

I'm not advocating what you personally, or society should or should not do. I am simply pointing out that some people have gold and others want to take it away from them. My question is: what moral principle makes it valid for some people ("government") and makes it invalid for others ("thieves")? If the principle is "some voters voted some people via secret voting", then Hitler did nothing bad. Also, if the principle is "decision of majority" is moral, then more questions arise: on which territory do you define this majority? How can morality flip completely when 1 extra person joins another camp or gets to a legal voting age? Etc.

If you want to redistribute gold, it's up to you to show why it is justified to kick someone in a face because of "hoarding". And when you start explaining this, it will be you who comes up with some definition of property rights (maybe by saying "hoarded gold does not belong to you, but to society").
It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is an awkward thing. The problematic thing is that for graphics drivers to work on linux they need to interface with X.

This means that the closed-source drivers are tightly coupled with X and can only be made to work with Wayland by the Nvidia and AMD teams themselves.

Now Ubuntu comes along, looks at wayland and decides that it is not good enough for some reasons they _hopefully_ have thought long and hard about and starts working on an alternative.

But Ubuntu actually has enough clout to convince AMD and NVidia to work with them on this new system. This means wayland is effectively shut out and might as well call it quits.

So the awkward thing is that we were promised a clean, fast well architected system for years which after years of development finally reached 1.0 and seems to be quite usable. At that precise point the only company capable of making wayland real-world stuff changes his mind and decides on going all-in on some software we don't know if even exists yet and for some magical reason is better than Wayland.

Everyone is just stunned :P
What's wrong with that though? So people will end up not spending money unless it's very valuable to their lives. So less money gets spent on Angry Birds, iPad Minis, and games. Makes entrepreneurs have to up their game if they want people to spend money on them.
