I think you would have to look at the reasons why the government tax revenue did not increase when rates were higher. The rich are have mobility. They can move money around the world and at high tax rate levels, they'd be content on ne

Please explain how flat tax rate across any income level, while removing the current tax code, would be considered regressive? I have not heard that argument before. The proportion of tax paid is the same at any income level. Anything that

I'm seeing many things (if this data is accurate, which assuming it is as it's from all government sources) and trends that go against a large percentage of what the media on both sides are perpetuating. That is my first takeaway

This is where you and I will never come to an agreement: You quickly jump to the government to regulate and essentially run every aspect of your life and the decisions you make. I would argue that there is no place what-so-ever for governme

In my experience, I've found most AirBnB hosts' pricing on other fees has been reasonable. Other services out there though, like HomeAway, are much more deceptive. I've had to actually email the hosts on HomeAway to get the f

This article reads just like the combustion vehicle/car dealership articles... "It's not fair what Tesla is doing! We need the government to step in and secure our position in the market." The younger generation is not b

I would say so far, yes. I would say it's pretty "mainstream" already with many companies using it in production, including Mozilla. As big as C++/C? Too early to tell for that.

Agreed. I for one will never fly United again. I hope many others do the same. The way that was handled just goes to show the culture and way things are done at that airline. Nobody had the logic to say, wait a minute, this is wrong. Callin

I mean, if the U.S. had not created the nuclear bomb, odds are high that Germany would have. At the same time, the U.S. was prepared to do a full invasion of Japan with 250,000 troops, expected casualties at 100,000 U.S. troops. My grandfat

Depends how you land. Being unconscious, you can't really control how you land, so I'd take the conscious route instead. But if you do pass out, your muscles will be relaxed and offer more give in absorbing the force of your body.

Same with MotoGP riders. They basically slide and then they have gravel/sand catches around the turns they are most likely to fall off. Sometimes they tumble. It's not pretty but it does the job most of the time. But, it's al

Now that's an idea I like. Somehow be able to have the virtual midi as an app on my IPad that can sync over wifi or even with the IPad plugged into my mac book. Be able to control the envelope automation, or other automations, with tou

Yup, all of our fail overs worked flawlessly. You wouldn't even be able to tell if you didn't know.

Had never thought of this... for Linux Foundation, I don't believe so. However, it'd be interesting to see an Open Source Foundation set up as a 501(c)3, where contributors would get to write off a certain value given for their co

I dunno, I see this more as an Instagram marketing play than a 'knock-off' play. The fidget cube is little significance, it could have been anything. He found a trend, got supply, and marketed it on the right channels.

Right, JS isn't going anywhere. But once WASM is able to run everywhere, anybody attempting to make high performance web apps would ideally want to write it in WASM. A lot of what JS does on the web is plenty fast and won't really

And they shouldn't...let's move forward... to WASM (Web Assembly)! Which, also posted on front page of HN recently, a user's medium blog on compiling Rust to WASM. https://medium.com/@chicoxyzzy/compiling

Rust should be just as fast as C++ and C. Benchmarks are hard of course because optimizations and such. But if Rust is significantly slower, than it is a bug.

I wonder if it would be possible to write a JS engine in Rust that would essentially make multi-threading JS possible... Use Rust's concurrency safety to pass resources around threads running JS. Doing this without making any changes t

You have a seperate blockchain that is used to verify a citizen. You can put many things there (marriage status, SSN..not needed anymore with this, any other info), which would include a voting key. The voting blockchain would check the cit

I believe Tesla is giving these pack a much longer life span. I know one of the chief engineers for their batteries said the old batteries that exist in the Model S and X today could last many more cycles with a 15-20 year life span. I thin

Actually longer than that. It effectively is what Ingres was a long time ago before Oracle basically killed them off. I believe Ingres was a product of some IBM people? Way way ahead of its time.

100kWh in Supercapacitors would have an incredible mass for that much energy. I see Supercaps are being more used for rapid discharges/re-gen periods. I.E. Tesla P100D (0-60 in 2.5sec) punching it would use the supercaps, and then goin

Right, and ultimately, hydrogen is one of the most (if not THE most) efficient energy storage methods. However, as far a physical storage, actually putting it in a tank, it is not as efficient. Plus, burning it is not as efficient as electr

I'll look for it. The media for some reason loves to hate on Tesla, so the follow up didn't get much attention. You can check his twitter, also he checks in to Tesla charging stations all the time.
