41,804,101 | comment | AnthonyMouse | 2024-10-10T22:13:21 | null | > I’m saying we should eliminate the step up in basis for inherited assets. In what scenario would that force someone to sell something?<p>The proposal has been floated recently that unrealized capital gains should be taxed. This would nominally mitigate a major problem with your proposal, which is that it would heavily discourage people from switching from long-held mediocre investments with a low tax basis to better investments. So they're often proposed together or as the mechanism to remove the step-up in basis, i.e. it's unconditionally stepped up to market value every year but then you have to pay the tax immediately.<p>But if you tax unrealized gains then you force the sale of assets any time the tax is more than the owner's liquid cash, which is its own major problem.<p>Whereas if you don't do this, now you haven't solved the original problem that the owner suffers a huge tax penalty for switching from a long-held mediocre investment to a better one. | null | null | 41,793,750 | 41,780,569 | null | null | null | null |

41,804,106 | comment | elihu | 2024-10-10T22:13:43 | null | Continuing to burn fossil fuels forever isn't really an option. At some point we'll effectively run out, but before then we'll have caused catastrophic climate change due to our CO2 emissions.<p>Synthetic or plant-based fuels are plausible options, but synthetic fuels can't compare with battery EVs in terms of energy efficiency, and plant based fuels need crop land that's probably better used to grow food.<p>Electric vehicles aren't a temporary fad. They're here to stay. Liquid fuels aren't going away either, but I expect eventually they'll be used mostly for military and aviation applications, not ground transportation. | null | null | 41,803,259 | 41,757,808 | null | null | null | null |

41,804,110 | comment | benmmurphy | 2024-10-10T22:14:09 | null | It is a complex situation. The worst case scenario from these entrapment operations is the FBI incentives people into a committing a crime they would otherwise not have committed. The end result is more crime, but maybe it kind of nets out because FBI has 100% success and victims are made whole but then you have the sunk cost of this FBI work. The more optimal case is the FBI nabs people who would have otherwise committed another crime and this is a more efficient way of dealing with these people than investigating real crimes.<p>My concern is the FBI doesn’t actually try and determine which is the best allocation of resources but just presses the button that makes the FBI look best. Investigating real crimes is a lot more difficult than investigating these ‘sting’ crimes so if investigating ‘sting’ crimes was less efficient then it might be incorrectly priotized. | null | null | 41,804,031 | 41,802,823 | null | null | null | null |

41,804,112 | comment | aftbit | 2024-10-10T22:14:36 | null | Is there a reason you need specialized assertions over something like Python's generic assert?<p><pre><code> >>> big = 2; small = 3
>>> assert big >= small, "big is smaller than small"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AssertionError: big is smaller than small
</code></pre>
In pytest, assertions are rewritten[1] to return something more useful like:<p><pre><code> def test():
big = 2
small = 3
> assert big > small
E assert 2 > 3
test/test_dumb.py:4: AssertionError
========== short test summary info ==========
FAILED test/test_dumb.py::test - assert 2 > 3

41,804,128 | comment | lo_zamoyski | 2024-10-10T22:17:30 | null | This still doesn't establish why one should regard gold as "ostentatious". Are you working from some private definition of the term? I make use of the common pejorative meaning, given by Merriam Webster as:<p><pre><code> attracting or seeking to attract attention, admiration, or envy often by gaudiness or obviousness : overly elaborate or conspicuous : characterized by, fond of, or evincing ostentation
</code></pre>
The key to ostentation is vulgarity or crudeness, ugliness. You even use the word "tacky", so clearly you aren't blind to at least the general idea of bad taste, even if we may be in disagreement about what constitutes bad taste.<p>Obviously, gold can be used to signify the importance of something, but that doesn't make it ostentatious. What I contest is the pejorative.<p>> that’s a judgement about what should be venerated not the intent behind the use of gold.<p>The use of gold is a matter of intention. A judgement is made that something is worthy of honor, another that gold is an aesthetically suitable material that, in some way, can be used to assist in honoring said thing, and the intention is made to honor said thing in such a manner. | null | null | 41,789,914 | 41,761,409 | null | null | null | null |

41,804,144 | comment | ttepasse | 2024-10-10T22:18:36 | null | My impression is completely different, it's less the state but more the media.<p>Some first standardisations started with the beginning of the printed media, especially Luther's bible translation, then later printed grammar manuals. In the 19th century newspapers and publishing had an impact which streamlined the written word, becoming "Standard German" which through these influences is rather descended from central Germany, not Prussia.<p>AFAIK the "high" in high German doesn’t come from class but from geographical position - high is more upriver than the low countries in the north.<p>As for oral dialects: There was no concerted campaign against dialects like in France as far as I know; here it is actual more of a class thing. Again the media plays a role: the rise of radio and television in the latter half of the 20th century has a harmonising effect, deemphasising dialects. | null | null | 41,789,589 | 41,787,647 | null | null | null | null |

(Although one was a smoothie chain that insisted on sending me email every single day, and their unsubscribe page always seemed to be "malfunctioning".)<p>I don't think all or most of these companies on the list are intentionally selling my address to spammers. I suspect most of these leaks are due to poor handling of the data or server compromises. (Surely Adobe, for example, isn't so desperate that they would sell my address to spammers.) But whether by malice or incompetence, I can easily block them. | null | null | 41,803,910 | 41,801,594 | null | null | null | null |

Europe leaned hard into austerity and self immolated while the US just grew our way out of it and into the future.<p>As an American, I've always sort of held the stereotype of Europe as being a fun place to vacation. Nice lifestyle if you've made your money already, probably elsewhere.<p>Unintentionally or not, Eurocrats seem to have done everything they can to perpetuate this further and further. Between austerity, regulation, bureaucracy, etc it just seems like the whole continent is encased in amber, focussed on how to slice up a static/shrinking pie. | null | null | 41,803,919 | 41,799,016 | null | null | null | null |
41,804,157 | comment | neonsunset | 2024-10-10T22:20:27 | null | > sometimes modern C# code from experts looks unreadable to me<p>This is a culture issue and has always existed in C#, Java and C++ communities sadly (and I'm seeing this now with TS just as much, some Go examples are not beacons of readability either, I assume other languages suffer from this similarly).<p>In the past, people abused BinaryFormatter, XML-based DSLs, occasionally dynamic, Java-style factories of factories of factories, abuse of AOP, etc. Nowadays, this is supplanted by completely misplaced use of DDD, Mediatr, occasional AutoMapper use (oh god, at least use Mapperly or Mapster) and continuous spam of 3 projects and 57 file-sized back-ends for something that can be written under ~300 LOC split into two files using minimal API, records and pattern matching (<i>with</i> EF Core even!).<p>Neither is an example of good code, and the slow but steady realization that simplicity is the key makes me hopeful, but the slow pace of this, and new ways to make the job of a developer and a computer more difficult that are sometimes introduced by community and libraries surrounding .NET by MS themselves sour the impression. | null | null | 41,802,034 | 41,787,041 | null | null | null | null |

Absurd API prices, no access for researchers, and you can't read much at all unless you are logged in.<p>Twitter has done amazing job at incinerating the value it once had as connective matter of society.<p>Also the algorithm now top-ranks a bunch of paid-for blue-check musk-ites and batshit-crazy-right-winger trash. | null | null | 41,803,402 | 41,801,795 | null | null | null | null |

41,804,162 | comment | pessimizer | 2024-10-10T22:20:55 | null | I still have no idea why people think that he's a dick for not giving away his trademark. The code is GPL, the trademark is the only thing of Wordpress that he really owns. He should withdraw permission whenever he feels like it, especially when it's most financially useful to him. If taking away the usage of the mark sabotages an unfriendly competitor, he should do it.<p>Forking is beautiful, but WPE should do it somewhere else, like this FreeWP person.<p>I'm pretty sure everyone should be grateful for "WP." Didn't he say that using those two letters was fine? Everybody still gets to trade on Wordpress's goodwill, even if they can't use the full name. And if the company goes belly up, the community gets the full name. I've been struggling to see the other perspective.<p>The lawsuit claims are hysterical. I hope he doesn't give an inch. I hope it serves as a warning to others. I hope FreeWP is successful, and I don't know why anyone who isn't an employee or owner would care if WPE continues successfully or unsuccessfully. That's between Automattic and WPE. I certainly don't care that they can't advertise themselves as "Wordpress." | null | null | 41,803,650 | 41,803,650 | null | null | null | null |
