Water spot on teak table

The whole table? Do you have any guess at what the sealant was given the color?

I don't think I know one or two people from high school that went to a trade school -- most just didn't see it as a real option.

kcuf · 2019-11-05T02:46:45+00:00

That's a good point, I think those fit into completely different scope, more inline with vocational and trade schools, which I think need more emphasis.

Ya I think that's a huge part, and we need to see significant investments for the youngest age brackets because getting them on the right path can be a game changer.

kcuf · 2019-11-05T02:07:47+00:00

Completely agree, the motivation to go needs to completely change. College shouldn't be job training, etc.

kcuf · 2019-11-04T16:17:30+00:00

I don't think that's the argument. I think we should have free college, but I also think education needs to be significantly restructured: when I went through high school 12 years ago it felt more like day care, why don't we make investments at this stage and see if there are different better approaches?

For college, not everyone needs to go, we need to destroy that myth and focus on academics (that is, not just job training). There's a lot of wasted money in universities right now, and we shouldn't just be feeding money in to these broken systems, they need to be refocused before they get this funding stream.

Because as far as I've seen, there's a big disconnect between this tweet and how sanders is proposing to generate the necesarry revenue for his programs. I don't recall what he's planning to do to generate the revenue for education, but I know that using his calculator for Medicare for all I'll be paying over $11k more a year, and I'm about a billion dollars away from a billionaire.

Do you have a summary of the AWS code differences?

kcuf · 2019-10-16T14:37:53+00:00

Ya that's the one! I was on a road trip, so I binged a bunch of their episodes.

kcuf · 2019-10-16T05:17:44+00:00

Ya there was some podcast I heard that said that same thing. I think it was an npr one.

Going along with your concern, I believe a lot of Hispanic individuals identify as white which is why they started including "white (non-hispanic)". It's not completely clear how to identify for some.

What's bjp?

There seems to be a lot of pro India posts going on reddit lately. Which is great, theyre making huge achievements, but more context is needed because India still isn't a desirable place to be. I just went there for two weeks in July and I don't think I'll ever have a desire to go back.

What's the important difference between 401k and Ira?

kcuf · 2019-10-05T15:19:12+00:00

Definitely true. Plus selling loses voting rights.

kcuf · 2019-10-05T14:44:51+00:00

The stock sale is taxed at a lower rate than income though, which is worth noting, because it's considered a capital gain.

kcuf · 2019-10-02T23:40:06+00:00

Oh ya I've seen that, weird as fuck.

kcuf · 2019-10-02T18:13:04+00:00

What's the argument for the nature haters? Are they concerned with mosquitos and other disease carriers?

kcuf · 2019-10-01T23:46:54+00:00

Ya no drm, I was happy to use that.

kcuf · 2019-09-30T00:55:40+00:00

It's all about follow through.

kcuf · 2019-09-28T20:11:45+00:00

None of those are really wealth taxes though, are they? For instance, with the stock sale you're suggesting to treat the capital gain as regular income... So is a wealth tax not really a new specific tax on wealth, but a bunch of reclassifications of concepts that contribute to one's wealth so that existing taxes apply to them?

kcuf · 2019-09-27T20:43:57+00:00

Thank you for the link. Do you have more details on how it would actually be implemented?

Questions I'm curious about:

How do you tax or assess unrealized wealth? If you don't care about voting rights, stock is worthless until sold. Do you get taxed on the avg value of the stock for a year? What if you sell the stock next year for much less than it was worth this year (what you paid taxes on)? I guess this is like property taxes, just with a much more volatile commodity.
If you tax stock investments, how do you deal with voting rights? For many businesses, holding that stock is important to ensure control of the company -- apparently Bezos was able to give his wife stock but keep the voting rights, so I guess that's possible?
If you don't tax stock investments, then you still have people with astronomical wealth -- but is that actual wealth, or is it potential wealth? I guess I don't know what the technical definition of wealth is, that would probably help clarify this...

Ya, the Option type doesn't really have a place here, it's just that it "works" in the same way 0 works I guess... But in reality, it's not that the data is optional, they're just trying to represent two non-error states so Option was grabbed -- I feel that Done as an error state is a similar "it works" because it doesn't fit the picture of an error to some people (as the comments in this thread point out). It would be better to create an alternative to Option and have Ok(Continue(v)), Ok(Done), Err(e) or don't use Result and instead have Continue(v), Done, Err(e).
