Can you give an example of these? The only example I can think of is where you loose some child benefits when entering certain income levels. Even when you go above the £100k income the effective tax rate becomes 60% until £125k. You still get 40% of the income?
Yes? I mean, i wouldn't work more than 40 hours a week whatever my salary is, but my bonus this year was taxed at 55% and i still would have done the work i did to get it.

I'm driving a Fiat Punto with 90,000 miles on the clock while several people in my family on benefits have gotten new BMWs because of government schemes.”
What government schemes are giving free cars? I hadn’t heard of that. I guess there is Motability for people with disabilities?

This post hit me right on the head. I have infuriated colleagues with this type of behaviour. At an old job I got bored with a mildly interesting task that I just could not focus on and the progress fell behind. My boss moved me on to the most boring job on the project thinking I could better handle it and boy did I pull out a 6 hour focused task into 6 weeks of depression and anxiety. I would stare at the same 2 windows for an entire day sinking deeper into unproductive spirals.
Ironically HNews might have kept me sane in providing interesting things to read. It’s probably why there are so many ADHD types here.
I have discovered now that a “normal” job just doesn’t work for me. I’m going to get weird with it.
I feel the value in genomics is in the raw difficult science several levels of experimentation below the data. I fear that the biggest value for the present in much of the population scale genomics is in forensics rather than science.
