An important part of my observation is that everyone is using them, not just that they are available

I wonder if the real difference is that everyone has earbuds versus playing through a speaker

One part of me wishes for multiple levels of logical commits.

When using GH we essentially have one level. The PR is the like a roll-up commit and then we have the component commits it consists of.

It would be nice to be able to say this commit consists of N component commits. Then users can expand or collapse the commits depending on what level of detail they want.

So user A who likes to keep a record of how they actually went through the process with all the warts can have those "messy" commits as component. And user B who likes to see a coherent story told by the commits without unnecessary steps can look at the higher level commit.

But also, git is complicated enough so maybe not.

people have been making similar predictions about the US and soccer since I was a kid. Youth soccer is incredibly popular yet...

the safe drawdown rate of 4% per year

IIRC this rate is based on some standard retirement length (like 30 years), not forever.

Manhattan Scalpers won't leave unsold seats to a game like this

In this situation, it is unlikely that is it scalpers with the really desirable court side seats that fetch the highest value. It is season ticket holders and people with connections. The price you see is essentially, "it's going to cost you this much to make me miss watching my team in the championship".

For the other seats that were available to the general public, sure, it's likely scalpers as with any other event.

Most of these tickets will go unsold I'm sure.

The tickets have already been sold. These postings are for resales.

You probably use direct deposit in which case your employer already has your banking info

Yes, technically payroll taxes are not income taxes.

And people who that x number of people do not pay income tax are implying they are paying no federal taxes when that is not true. It is a disingenuous argument.

People who complain about people not playing income taxes ignore payroll taxes.

I feel sad that what I think of as the obvious solution, companies using subdomains like internal.microsoft.com instead of making a million different domains, is so far from happening that no one here on HN has even brought it up.

Accessibility, if I am not mistaken

I believe the grandparent is referring to the US Senate, which was designed as the state's representation in the federal government, and where each state gets 2 senators.

This means that California gets 2 senators but so do Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, etc.

Now, the conclusion of the grandparent does not follow in my opinion.

Nothing in the constitution mandates the current state boundaries. California could break itself into multiple states (there is a population minimum) and gain more representation in the senate if it wanted.

But there are trade offs. California is a huge prize in the electoral college and has been a safe Democrat win for quite some time. Splitting into multiple states could jeopardize that. Being large also allows them to lead the way on regulation in a way that smaller states couldn't.

The US government is quite the game theory problem.

They are talking about the price on the shelf vs the price at the register. The price tag on the shelf has information identifying the product. The price at the register is obviously associated to the bar code on the product. So there's no way for a consumer to swap price tags from one product to another.

I think the common use of the term capitalist is as a participant in capitalism.

This is distinct from someone who is a proponent of capitalism as a system, which appears to be the way you are using capitalist. For which I don't blame you.

I'm not convinced it's actually safer to have kids in the back.

I thought that a major reason for placing children in back seat was because of the air bags in the front seat representing a danger to them when they deploy.

(But maybe kids don't trigger the weight needed to activate the passenger side air bag anymore?)

AA displays the boarding time in the app instead of the departure time once the flight gets close enough (like same day)

If they printed the exact time boarding starts and people showed up then (and later), no flight would ever board on time

I don't understand the logic. If everyone is there at the stated boarding time and the airline has correctly allocated enough time for boarding, aren't they winning?

can anyone recommend similar hardware compatible with linux? that also supports the three fingered drag and other stuff mentioned in the article?

Those who were purchasing it need to go to the global market instead, increasing overall demand on that market

Yes I agree that would need to involve the DA

IANAL

It's a civil proceeding not a criminal proceeding so he would not be incriminating himself.

He could argue that by answering he would be admitting crimes and opening himself to criminal liability. But there's a possibly they give him immunity and that route is taken away.

But the link says it is named after Plymouth Rock which is indeed the Plymouth in Massachusetts

I hope you aren't talking about the one in Massachusetts which is not pronounced either of those ways

So what is your answer then?

A popular technique is to be compensated in options. Don't exercise the options, but take out loans against them.

The first set of US federal tax rates when it was allowed by the 16th amendment with adjustments for inflation on the the right:

  Orig Income          Rate       Adj Income (2025 Dollars)
  Up to $20,000        1%         Up to $600,000
  $20,000 to $50,000   2%         $600,000 to $1,500,000
  $50,000 to $75,000   3%         $1,500,000 to $2,250,000
  $75,000 to $100,000  4%         $2,250,000 to $3,000,000
  Over $100,000        5%         Over $3,000,000

I don't have a dog in this fight and if it's what the people of Washington want, so be it.

This is the discussion I was responding to:

> Cards don't make money from their fees. They make money from people who fail to pay and then pay the ridiculous interest.

Interchange fees seem to be a sizable portion of revenue. Discover has listed them as 29% of revenue, BoA at ~$10B annually…

My complaint is that pointing at revenue alone does not rebut the initial statement. That's all. The argument was insufficient, not your side of the argument is wrong.

You are the one implying that the revenue becomes profit. The burden is on you to make the case not on me to prove a negative. There are plenty of high revenue low margin businesses. There are also low revenue high margin businesses. So there is not a direct correlation between revenue and profit.

Revenue does not equal profit
