41,793,307 | comment | AnthonyMouse | 2024-10-09T22:14:07 | null | > Yes, if you pay your taxes you will have less money.<p>The issue is that it can cause you to have less than <i>zero</i> money, and be forced to sell (possibly illiquid) assets solely in order pay the tax. This is kind of a major deal, e.g. you have an asset worth $20M, but not if you have to sell it <i>right now</i> because it would take time to find the right buyer, so instead you're forced to sell it for $8M to the only person who will buy it immediately. Some assets may not even be <i>possible</i> to sell in the current year, e.g. because the law requires the owner to have some specific license but the only other current licensees are rightfully prohibited from buying you out by antitrust laws. Not to say that the resulting market consolidation would be a good thing when that isn't the case.<p>> Your heirs should have the same cost basis as you did. And so if they sell they have pay the taxes that you never did.<p>What this is really encouraging is that they never sell. Which isn't even obviously going to increase tax revenue. If the daughter inherits the business and runs it successfully for a few years and then sells it for 25% over its value at transfer, the government gets tax on the 25%, and then going forward gets the taxes from the new, more productive investment she sold that one in order to buy. And the latter isn't just capital gains; better investments would also be employing more people (payroll taxes, fewer unemployment claims), paying more property taxes, etc.<p>If you make it so the tax basis stays low so a sale would have to pay tax on 95% of the value instead of 25%, she doesn't sell, you don't even get the tax on the 25% and the tax base stays lower because she doesn't switch to the more productive investment. | null | null | 41,790,496 | 41,780,569 | null | [

41,793,324 | comment | Jtsummers | 2024-10-09T22:15:54 | null | It allows one backward branch. Think of it like hand-rolling your OS scheduler for processes/threads. You also have to track your "program counter" yourself. As a silly example:<p><pre><code> typedef enum state {EVEN, ODD} state_t;
state_t task1 = EVEN;
state_t task2 = EVEN;
while (1) {
switch(task1) {
case EVEN:
// do even things
task1 = ODD;
break;
case ODD:
// do odd things
task1 = EVEN;
break;
default:
fprintf(stderr, "WTF?\n");
exit(1);
}
switch(task2) {
case EVEN:
// do even things
task2 = ODD;
break;
case ODD:
// do odd things
task2 = EVEN;
break;
default:
fprintf(stderr, "WTF?\n");
exit(1);
}
}
</code></pre>
For every "process" you've unrolled like this, you have to place it into its own switch/case or call out to a function which has similar logic (when subroutines aren't disallowed). If the process is short enough you let it execute all the way through, bigger processes would need to be broken apart like above to avoid consuming an entire cycle's time (especially important in real-time systems). | null | null | 41,790,738 | 41,758,371 | null | null | null | null |

41,793,333 | comment | Melatonic | 2024-10-09T22:16:30 | null | It could also be that when fighting (pre guns) people with left handed weapons took normal right handers off guard (sort of like how in baseball a leftie might throw off other players). I can imagine in a sword battle if you are used to fighting people right handing swords that suddenly fighting a left handed person could be unexpected and disadvantage you.<p>Where I am going with this is that it might not be that left handedness directly correlates with violence in any way - but perhaps societies with more left handed people were simply more likely to survive in more war like times. | null | null | 41,787,560 | 41,758,870 | null | [

By default you can only load a subset of themes or plugins and only if you choose the Business plan or higher.

41,793,360 | comment | bigiain | 2024-10-09T22:20:38 | null | The problem though, for people who want to use WordPress, is that WP sites fundamentally rely on wordpress.org for downloading and installing plugins and themes, and critically for security updates to plugins and themes. (You can install/update manually, but the standard admin dashbord is set up to make wordpress.org integration by far the best way to do so.)<p>Yeah, you've got your GPL copy of all the source code. But next week's discovery of vulnerabilities in whatever random plugin gets to be this weeks news means you need to download/install the updated version. Which canonically is found at wordpress.org. We host a couple of dozen sites on WPEngine (and have done for about a decade, very happily with the price, features, and service). Our internal business continuity planning is now investigating ClassicPress, keeping an eye on comms from WPEngine to see what their path forward in terms of keeping WP sites updated without wordpress.org access, and questioning whether it's time to stop using WordPress at all. We already have a few sites that use WP as the admin/publishing tool, and generate the site as static html for hosting via S3/CloudFront - we may make that our standard deployment bit if we had to move all our WP sites off WPE, we may as well investigate other newer tools.<p>We are certainly having conversations right now with potential new clients warning them of the drama in the WordPress ownership/ecosystem, and advising considering alternative options or at least waiting until the dust settles on Matt's current ill advised crusade. | null | null | 41,793,040 | 41,791,369 | null | [

41,793,365 | comment | gamblor956 | 2024-10-09T22:21:13 | null | <i>Where is this exception?</i><p>In the history of Constitutions, no constitution explicitly states that violent speech is protected. Because until now, they've never had to...it's always been understood. Indeed, the the First Congress of the U.S. passed the Sedition Act just a few years after America was formed and it remained law until 1920 (when it was repealed by Congress).<p>For more recent examples, yelling "fire" in a crowded venue is also prohibited (this example is given to law students). It is important to understand that the law separates the content of the speech from the act it represents, so saying the word "fire" is allowed; what is prohibited is the act of doing something that will inflict harm on others by causing terror and mayhem.<p>As most constitutions are based on the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. history is relevant to Brazil because it demonstrates that no Constitution protects unfettered speech. To apply the above to what is happening in Brazil: the words are protected, but the act of promoting violence is prohibited. Thus, the far-right extremists' accounts are censored (because they are using those words to engage in the act of inciting violence) but everyone else can say what they said because other people aren't trying to incite violence when they quote the extremists. | null | null | 41,783,267 | 41,782,118 | null | [

I.e. in the automotive conetext, Ferrocene is ISO26262 certified, but is that sufficient to be used in a safety-critical automotive context, or are there additional steps that need to be taken before a supplier could use Ferrocene to create a qualified binary? | null | null | 41,776,604 | 41,771,272 | null | [

But I do think things will simplify with time, patterns will emerge, and it will be seen as react-for-the-backend, the de facto first choice. effect + schema + platform + cluster will be an extremely compelling stack. | null | null | 41,792,966 | 41,764,163 | null | null | null | null |

41,793,393 | comment | throw49sjwo1 | 2024-10-09T22:24:32 | null | What do you mean, by now? The only one who can do so is Tesla. Cybertruck is barely being sold in the US. It always took a few years before Tesla introduced an European version of a car. It's way too early to tell. | null | null | 41,769,314 | 41,760,111 | null | null | null | null |

41,793,396 | comment | bawolff | 2024-10-09T22:24:42 | null | Is there any reason to think this? (Honestly asking). It seems like quite a stretch to me unless there is some reason to connect the two. | null | null | 41,793,189 | 41,792,500 | null | null | null | null |

41,793,399 | comment | bruckie | 2024-10-09T22:25:00 | null | I noticed Missoula as an outlier, too. Anyone have a good explanation?<p>My completely uninformed guess is that a bunch of highly-paid engineers moved there during the pandemic for some reason I don't understand, rather than anything inherent to the tech jobs market in Missoula. If so, why Missoula (vs., say, Jackson Hole)? And if not, is there another plausible explanation? | null | null | 41,792,788 | 41,792,055 | null | [
