  • Lol, I just made one of my friend try mint....

  • is this even possible

  • I mean why are people supporting the parties in 50/50 manner.

  • Study Suggests Becoming An Expert Bird Watcher May Protect Brain Health

    Jump

  • Could also be "has free time and no stress in life" factor that correlates with watching birds. But being in nature and doing activities that involve the brain is probably good anyway

  • is this even possible

  • Everyone is talking about ranked choice and other options, I don't have problems with that, but I'd like to say this:

    I think if 80-90% of people voted for that lesser evil, then the greater evil would know that they have no chance, and shift themselves to get more votes. Either the candidate will change policies, or the party will dump those candidates and get someone new.

    Problem is, both evils have equal chances of winning, so they have no reason to change significantly.

    That's what surprises me. Why's the split 50/50 (±2% max)

  • hmm

  • Interesting, I thought that'd be a normal thing because it makes so much sense.

    I didn't go deeper into it, but I could see several examples in just the first 10 entries here:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_rates

    The corporate tax rate starts from high amount, while individual starts from lower amount, and in many case even the top earners don't have as high. It's mostly because top earners are still salaried and that's not "profit", if you have a business you already are paying corporate tax. Many rich people employ their family to pay less tax, but you can't do anything that requires specific qualifications.

    Edit: for individual tax brackets and what is a reasonable salary, would take more research. I might do that later in the month because now I'm interested.

  • hmm

  • That's how it works in many countries.

    Business pays tax on profits (revenue - expenses). Salary has smaller tax for business compared to pure profits, employees don't pay it because it's not profit. So businesses have incentives to keep human employees instead of keeping all the profits for themselves.

    And that applies to all businesses. So if you, for example, bought a carrot for $10, tax is included, you don't pay tax on it.

    • The distributor bought it for $6, spent $1, pays tax on their profit ($3),
    • farmer grew it, used fertilizer, seeds, labor, etc., pays tax on profit (maybe $2),
    • the fertilizer company again pays tax on their profit, and so on

    In US you pay tax on every transaction. You get salary, you pay tax, you buy a thing, you pay tax, you eat something, again tax. This makes you more aware government is taking money, compared to the first scenario. But it also gives government ways to make complicated rules and give different tax benefits to different people. In the first scenario, government help goes to everyone whether they have a job or not. In this case you only get Tax cuts if you already make money.

  • Definitely happy I learned it. But I think it also helped I was introduced to it when I just started on Linux.

    Most people that use Linux already has editor of choice, and emacs in windows doesn't feel the same. I've had friends show interest in emacs because of how I use it, but it's always such a hassle to set things up in windows.

  • I'm using my home server and coding to rebuild my brain after a stroke.

  • Good luck with everything. Go at your own pace, hosting is just leaving a computer on. Add more things as you need and that's all there is in my opinion. But of course you'll learn security, backups, and other things as you need.

  • What is this "Contributing"?

    Jump

  • It is really good when I'm already using something, so I contribute to it because there's something I wanna fix or add.

    But when I'm feeling an itch to make something, then contributing can't help because I don't wanna go search for similar projects. I just wanna build.

  • Emacs is hard to refer to new users (unless they have the passion and time for these things), but I feel lucky I learned it while I had free time.

    I feel like projects like these are the only ones that won't betray us.

  • AOC slams Republican Sen. over mockery of her bartending work: ‘Makes me 1000x more qualified to govern on behalf of working people’

    Jump

  • I take it as her response is for people, not for him. Sometimes people need someone to spell out things. Like the representative thing, so they can understand billionaires might not have their best interest at heart over someone that actually has gone through the same struggles they are under.

  • Would you say learning a programming language is easier or harder than learning a natural language?

    Jump

  • "professionally" requires having a job, so that is very hard rn. (Someone hire me)

  • foreach - Bash alias to execute command on each line

    Jump

  • I recommend you gnu parallel. It does similar things, but runs the commands in parallel. And it's way easier to pipe than xargs. If you really need it to run one command at a time you can give number of cores to 1. And it also has progress bars, colors to differentiate stdout fo different commands, etc.

    Basic example: to echo each line

    parallel echo < somefile.txt

    To download all links, number of jobs 4, show progress

    parallel -j 4 --bar ''curl -O" < links.txt

    You can do lot more stuffs with inputs, like placing them wherever with {}, numbers ({1} is first) that allow multiple unique arguments, transformers like remove extension, remove parent path, etc. worth learning

  • During Superbowl I was talking with a software guy working for a big shopping ( data) company, he was telling us how every interaction on their website is recorded for data analysis, and his own wife was shocked. It came up after I prompted for that conversation, talking about the license plate tracking in parking lots (which she didn't know about).
