The world is inherently unfair - people can’t control what family they are born into. It’s unfair that some of those families may have be subject to generations of marginalization.
So if redistribution is “unfair” it’s only to counteract the inherent unfairness of the current system.
And this is why I’ve been saying for years that all children should be taken at birth and put into centrally managed government daycares where all babies can be raised in equal environments. It’s completely absurd and unfair that a rich baby gets so much more than a poor baby. Until we stop letting parents raise their own children and let society do it, there will always be inequality at birth which cannot be overcome.
PWAs are also useful where you want visitors to be able to access a portion of a website while offline. I run a site that hosts audio tours[1] for museums and walking tours. I use PWAs to allow visitors to quickly download the tour onto their phone in case they don't have a data plan or a portion of the tour will not have cell service.
Apple definitely makes it difficult to use them effectively. For example you need to use Safari on iOS in order to download the PWA - it won't work if you're on chrome or another third party browser.
This also opens up the opportunity for a lot of lifestyle businesses. It may, at first, seem like a major downside having a venture backed startup competing directly with you. However, they are likely following an all or nothing strategy and there is a chance they go bust.
If they end up closing down or pivoting they have helped to create the market and all their users will be looking for an alternative.
Is it just me or are those two paragraphs worded in a way that makes the difference between most and least satisfied larger?
If only 35% of computer science grads say they have no regrets does that not mean that 65% of them have regrets? That's pretty close to the 73%-75% for the "Most Regrets" group.
They did get advice from some of the most experience startup investors in the world. Who's biggest question was why they hadn't started charging users. Taking advice from highly experienced people is probably better then trying to do your own research.
How would you even research such a decision if not ask very experience startup founders and investors?
I think the general idea would be for the IRS to provide you with the completed tax return. This should be sufficient for a vast majority of people who only earn employment income.
You would then review the return and could update/file a return if you have additional deductions or business income that would not otherwise be reported to the IRS.
I believe the UK and some other European countries already have this system.
The UK tends to do its tax incentives a different way.
The government favours them as subsidies at point of purchase, rather than something you do at the end of the year. That actually works out a lot nicer as a tax payer, as you don't need to have the full amount of money up-front, and also means you're way less likely to miss out on some of them.
For maybe 90% of UK employees you don't need to file any kind of tax return, your employer handles all that for you.
If you do have some uncomplicated deductions (eg. you are a higher rate tax payer and have made large donations to charity, or have business expenses which were not paid by your employer) you can phone the tax office or ammend them online.
Only those in more complicated situtations need to file anything, which most people do through the tax office's website.
I just wanted to point out it's totally normal to go through waves of interest or motivation for various things in your life. Especially if these are things unrelated to your career or work you should consider becoming less outcome focused. You mention 25%-50% of the journey - how do you define the 100%?
For something like running I think it's common to get very interested and the interest to fade out over time. This might be before you can run a marathon or half marathon - does that mean it wasn't worth it to run while you did? You may also pick it up again down the line, maybe it takes you years to get to a goal rather than a few months. You can start and stop - don't feel bad about it.
I think our society has a high focus on the super achievers and the end result. However, if you're focusing on weight loss, running or meditation you're never going to be the best. The purposes of each of those activities is to enjoy them for what they are. If you're not enjoying them move onto the next thing and you can always come back later.
I used to get this advice a lot, and I need reminders sometimes. What I only recently figured out is what process means here. I thought it was generic "enjoy your life" stuff, but you really are going through a specific process.
These projects are the process of you growing, maturing, getting seasoned. It sounds like you aren't quite ready for your big break yet, which is fine, especially because you are doing exactly what you should do.
Congratulate yourself for any time you spend creating, you're learning tools and techniques and mental habits and what doesn't work. Soon, maybe tomorrow or maybe a decade from now, you'll start to develop a vision of what your life's work really is.
My advice is to keep following your ideas, doing active creation whenever you can, and most importantly seeking out good people and letting them help you.
Your Audio Tour (https://www.youraudiotour.com) is making about $120 in recurring monthly revenue. I built it using Micheal Hartl's online ruby on rails tutorial which I would HIGHLY recommend.
