Presented during the UN’s 4th International Conference on Financing for Development – taking place this week in Sevilla, Spain – the proposal highlights a growing problem: the richest individuals often contribute less to public finances than ordinary taxpayers, thanks to lower effective tax rates and legal loopholes. “Our countries need more and more public revenues to meet their needs. Inequality is a problem everywhere and the richest pay less than the middle class – even less than lower-inco

An Introduction to Tribalism for the Modern World That Has Forgotten It

news.ycombinator.com Sustainable Views 2026-02-19 14:09:28

The Western world lives under the rule of law and holds sacred the institutions that enforce them. We believe in contracts, in due process, and in a system of justice that is fair, at least in theory. But what happens when that system frays? What happens when there is a growing class that is above the law? The unsettling answer is that an older, more brutal set of rules re-emerges. It’s a system of power that has governed humanity for nearly all of its history called tribalism. This is an intro

World Curling tightens sweeping rules, bans firmer broom foams ahead of Olympics

news.ycombinator.com The Canadian Press 2026-02-25 15:00:29

World Curling has tightened its sweeping equipment rules heading into the Olympic season. The move, announced Friday, follows concern over firmer broom foams that many players said gave sweepers too much control. Several high-profile models — including some from Goldline, BalancePlus and Hardline — are now banned. Only brushes with less-firm foam are approved for competition, effective immediately.

A real fixed-point decimal crate in Rust

Primitive fixed-point decimal types. Rust built-in f32 and f64 types have two drawbacks: can not represent decimal numbers in base 10 accurately, because they are in base 2; can not guarantee the fraction precision, because they are floating-point. This crate provides fixed-point decimal types to address the issues by using integer types to represent numbers with a scaling factor (also called as "scale") in base 10 to achieve the accuracy. This is a common idea. Many other decimal crates do
