So American tax payers are subsidising your security costs? NATO has benefits and costs. Some of the costs are financial and some are political. All of that has to be figured in when you are talking about how the super-rich benefit greatl

No rich people benefit more. They rely on the rule of law in a nation state to protect their assets and provide a supply of goods and services. And they don't pay much for it (in percentage terms definitely).

Please name the country? It makes the discussion impossible when you vaguely complain about something with no links or ability for anyone to respond.

The EU population pays a lot for national defence and safeguarding of 'things'. Imagine Switzerland bordered Russia... would they spend more or less on national defence? Does that mean that the EU is subsidising the defence budge

I wonder how much the super-rich pay for the protection of their assets? I don't mean the physical security around their property or the fees to whatever vault holds their art collection. I mean how much to the super-rich pay to nati

An interesting thought experiment for me is to imagine a wealth tax in the 0.1 to 0.5% range and figure out if the difference is might make to the different groups. I'm a firm believer in incremental changes and experiments which is of

I'm surprised HN hasn't added a feature where if you start a comment with "I'm surprised" it asks you to tick a box to confirm that you're really sure you're contributing to the discussion.

The study talks about how, "declining egg quality in older mice can be reversed with a dietary supplement". Sooo... unless you have a very specific genetic condition you are not going to be able to self dose and replicate the stu

I've got agree with your comment about the business stakeholders. The uncertainties around pricing and (at the moment) the even trickier problem of price increases can lead to inaction.

It says the Pricing Page feature is coming soon :-D

Have you done any experiments on this? Using hard water vs demineralised? I have no idea if this is a thing that's spoken about in the Sourdough baking world.

Exactly my point. If a category becomes 3x more expensive but it only takes up 1% of my expenditure then a stacked graph without proportions is very misleading.

I don't think anyone called the book bad. I just know that I'm quite keen not to read it again because of the horrible things in it. It might be well written but maybe I don't feel like those concepts going into my head. It

Things might be horrific even if they aren't gratuitous or even described explicitly in a book.

I'm don't remember the chair but I have a queasy feeling that I've deliberately repressed thinking about the the chair. I agree with GP that I don't want to reread certain thing regardless of how well written they are.

The Culture novels were published from 19872-2012 and I believe generally written the year before they were published so perhaps the foresight has to be weighted against when the books were written.

It's very pretty but having a stacked graph is really inappropriate. We don't spend equal amounts on those categories and stacking the graphs obscured the relative changes. There is no analysis worth anything in the text. It&#x27

Piggybacking off your comment I wonder how many other people really care about the tech stack used to create any product they are running on a server. What dependencies does it have? Do I need to be conscious of vulnerabilities in some log

Fine. But I was very sad that the questioner didn't do some googling before they introduced a spurious question about vaccines into a comment thread about long covid. 20% of the US population remain unvaccinated. I think that 60 milli

The child doesn't have an original country. There is no record of them being born or who their parents are because there is no government. There is no communication with the outside so records can't be held externally. To be clea

I grew up not using the plural form Legos. But I also grew up thinking that it's important to never let a big company tell you how to speak.

Why is income tax theft but sales tax not? Surely selling your time for money is analogous to selling an object for money
