>Fernando Medina, Portugal's finance minister, has recently submitted a budget draft proposal to parliament calling for a 28% tax on capital gains from cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin (BTC-USD) held for less than a year.

That's a much much better deal than what you would get in many other countries. Sometimes I wonder why I don't live in Portugal, but I'm sure it's not all roses.

The competition is poor: Linux still has quite a lot to go in terms of distributing commercial software. Mac users are also probably more ready than Linux users to spend money on software.

Perhaps the actual question would be why Rust is being talked about so much in online forums. The answer is possibly active marketing that went viral and thus organic, although I assume the active part has gone down after Mozilla let many of those people go.

Whoa, I thought they are absolutely pointless. Are they even worse?

> You need a VERY good reason to use anything except PHP.

Yeah, like for instance: nobody knows or wants to know PHP.

To establish the reliability of the person saying this, here's them a bit later in the thread:

> the US government is running concentration camps and Palantir is directly responsible for putting people there

But then again, these tweets are from June 2020, and the world looked very different back then. This might have seemed like reasonable critique.

Was Russian interference to the western civilization such a cash cow for them that now that it's no longer a viable business, they're going down?

What does Google Workspace lack for a majority of companies?

Yep, and the logical conclusion would be to stop paying for O365.

Given their usual lie rates (5x-10x), this means that 30k-60k soldiers have been killed in Ukraine. This incidentally(?) perfectly matches up with calling up 30k-60k reservists.

Yes, although Crimea is not Russian territory.

Dunno why that would change things since Ukraine has already made counter-strikes into actual Russian territory (Belgorod). But then again, Putin lives in make-believe land and the target for these outbursts is probably the population of Russia, not the west.

Not sure how people use X11 anymore. Every time I try it, it seems to be horribly broken in some small ways, whereas Wayland just works. Could be that my hardware is too new or weird.

> PS. It's probably impossible to post anything positive about China here. It'll get flagged and deleted in minutes. You can try it if you want.

I'm willing to bet you $1000 that that won't happen, unless the article is blatant propaganda.

In 2 minutes, I found two that were rather neutral:

I don't know if you're chinese or just pro-chinese, but perhaps don't be so fragile? It's probably gives out the opposite image of what you're looking for. Hacker News in general is rather anti-government, any government, so it's not big surprise if blatantly pro-China articles don't get many upvotes.

So is this a Betteridge's headline?

Being able to replace the junk that's on every TV these days would be awesome. But unfortunately this is not that.

Mordor has advanced airborne interception radars so this would have effectively just handed the ring to Sauron.

Was it ever? To me it always seemed like a Java with the added burden of functional programming and more complicated OO.

You need three things usually:

- virtual environment (python3 -m venv --help)

- pip for manually installing things

- poetry for declaratively installing things

For a UX point of view, this is already pretty good and tends to work well. What sometimes makes this awkward and inefficient is that many python projects either don't declare their dependencies at all, or declare them with very specific versions. This makes it apparently a necessity for the resolver to do things quite heuristically.

>Black has been clearly unable to catch up Prettier for years.

Does prettier work on python code?

It's mostly some specialized features, like conferencing in Microsoft Teams. Clearly some pieces of web software are optimized only against webkit/chrome. But yeah, not many things outright refuse to work on Firefox these days.

Meh, just use Firefox for general browsing and Chrome/ium for the one or two things that only work on that.

Not a huge surprise. The EV business is growing rapidly and will keep growing, so it will receive huge resources for all kinds of R&D. Gasoline cars already feel very much like a 1900s technology, but the difference will get a lot steeper in the next 3 years.

Yeah, it is as if they opened some sort of a sewer floodgate. My feed is a diarrhea of alt-right and communist propaganda right now, and everything in between.

It was pretty bad before but now it's completely unusable.

> Are you saying the OP's observation is not true?

Yes, I'm absolutely saying that. Change the query string to

- pepe escobar => 3rd hit

- pepe escobar ukraine war => 1st hit

This is just slightly unfortunate search results projected to fake victimhood advertising. Calling this censorship is absolutely absurd and insulting to every people who are actually being censored right now. Those people live in countries that are antithetical to USA, which makes all this even more absurd and insulting given how rabidly anti-west this particular youtube channel is.

That's a fascinating way to advertise a political video by a youtuber whose whole shtick is "anti-west". By an account that is 1 hour old.

Is this something other than PRC propaganda?

I guess we could call it rather comedy than tragedy that there are still powerful people on this world who deny this in 2022.

Dunno about you, but that tells me something about their profit margins.

Apple Macbooks are the obvious answer. The Air models don't even have fans.

Or you might take your PC and tune its processor power plans to be less aggressive, or limit TDP settings. That said, my previous Thinkpad E14 wasn't that loud even with high loads, without tweaking anything.

But also, consider my Asus gaming laptop, G14. It's relatively silent but on default settings hard crashes about once an hour due to overheating. Perhaps loud fans are preferable to that.
