I hate it when visual oriented products make it difficult or impossible to see a screenshot of how they look like. Both of those products' github pages don't have screenshot, the first does have a website but no screenshots or links to them there either.

Do you have to install a tool that modifies the internals of your OS in order to see how it could look like? Imagine if you had to set up a painting on your wall before you could even see what it's a painting of.

Because it sells the world's best selling car at a high margin? And is double the price of the Toyota Corolla it dethroned.

If one gets news about Tesla only from HN then it does seem Tesla is ridiculous, because only negative stories tend to get upvoted and positive ones buried.

I've never seen a scrum master code. Sometimes the daily scrum meeting is run by ICs when the scrum master is busy or not around.

Just curious about what people think were 2022's top tech innovations, can you list them.

>Tons of people have been outraged by the war

I am not talking about the war itself. I am talking about the outrage over spending on wars. For example, there is barely any debate in the public sphere about 'where to get money to spend on wars', but if it helps poor or middle income people, like say increased welfare payments, or healthcare or college, suddenly there is a huge outcry over "how do we pay for it".

So? There are limits to Roth contributions(and 401Ks) which have been abused by finding loopholes, which the proposed law closes. The fact that it's post-tax has nothing to do with it. Something being post tax doesn't magically make it an untouchable investment. For example capital gains tax is applied to post-tax investments.

>The income has already been taxed

Uhh... have you heard of capital gains tax? (And capital loss deductions).

Or maybe it's trying to close loopholes around having to pay taxes.

>The whole deal is a 'we are spending tons of cash, so we need to take it from someone' plan

Funny how spending tons of cash is a problem only if it benefits poor and middle class people. I never saw this outrage on trillions spent on endless wars, since that benefits rich people. But if something helps poor or middle class and hurts rich people a little, there is a big outrage.

If it's being used to avoid taxes then yes, the loophole should be closed.

Not true.

>The backdoor Roth IRA conversion is a technique where investors who earn too much to contribute directly to a Roth IRA make after-tax contributions to a traditional IRA and then convert the contributed amount, and perhaps other money in the account, to a Roth IRA.

>The more absurd thing is criticism of Yellen on this part is being defended - by the White House press secretary no less as a woman's right to use her skills to make money. Yes, women should absolutely be able to rise to their talent and ambition

Everyone in the other comments is just assuming this as true, I don't see the sexism argument anywhere in what the press secretary said.

Anyone got a source?

Also encountered a few QAnon believers here back in the day which completely surprised me.
