>This is a feature not a bug as taxing companies is less efficient from just having employee pay as a deduction that gets taxed downstream. Trying to tax this money before it gets to employees would result in double taxation as the company would pay and the individual would then pay again.

So the corporation gets to enjoy low tax obligation, and push that obligation onto their employees. And that's a feature?

The system is truly fucked.
List post, plus paginated to up the number of page views on site while lowering usability. Basically, I love this site. And this post.
I've never understood this either. Google pretty much funds all the spam, if they had and enforced stronger policies on AdSense it would cripple spammers and made-for-ads crap.

You can report bad sites and people abusing AdSense but nothing ever happens. I wonder if anyone actually gets the reports at all - I reported a site I came across several weeks ago for perfectly aligning every block of ads with sets of images to disguise them as content, obviously nobody from Google's even clicked the link because they're still doing it and it's an immediately obvious violation.
This was already superflous news on slashdot and it is just as useless here.
Ditto this, although I did have a few issues when trying to run the 64-bit version. That had more to do with 3rd party driver support than Ubuntu itself, though. I'm completely addicted to the lightning quick boot times of Linux on modern hardware.
That's what the paper suggests, I should have been more clear in my statement. Neither incompetent, highly competent, nor people in between can effectively judge competence.
I think Django is extremely powerful, the way it lets you cleanly integrate entire pre-built features adding two or three lines is amazing, but understanding this is my own experience and doesn't reflect the general case, I found it daunting at first. My perception is that it is aimed at the large, full-featured, content-rich website, not the over-the-weekend one-trick-pony project you are more likely to start when you are still learning.
Not too many average users on Twitter from my experience. I've maxed out the local people that I follow and it's mostly automated news feeds (managed by tech folks) and other tech people in my field and related who are Tweeting.

Sure we can all pull out a story here or there of someone 'average' discovering and using Twitter, but I'm afraid my experience on the whole doesn't indicate that your Mom or mine will be using Twitter anytime soon.

Facebook? Now that's a whole different story.
I don't support Trump, and I don't support his supporters or what happened at the capitol. I voted for Joe Biden this year, am a big supporter of my Democrat senators in Arizona (and hope to vote for Krysten Sinema as president one day specifically).

This is wrong, and this is a massive overreach. This is not the internet that we dreamed about and that many of us worked to build. Very sad day.
How is voting by mail "easier to game"? You just seem to be repeating talking points. I don't think you have any actual solutions, because you don't have any actual issues identified.
Wow, is this the great purge? I don’t support certain people, but man I don’t think this is going to end well. This censorship just seems crazy to me.
There's worry that Trump's supporters are seeing it as "Trump's not at the inauguration, time to riot again since he won't be there".
> We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server.

Is this link right? How about a link to an article instead? What is Parler? Why is it suspended? What is the story for those of us who are just tuning in now?
That doesn't work with people who didn't get to their beliefs by reason in the first place.
The messages in my IRC channel don’t appear based on how incendiary they are. They are a strictly chronological timeline with no “viral amplification”. Closest we had to that was people reshaping bash.org links.
They already can. No one is forcing you to use Twitter. There are plenty of other platforms, or you can even... wait for it, this is such a radical idea... host your own website.
Anyone who teaches these days needs to keep in mind that pirated solutions manuals are easily obtained online for almost any text. Using problem sets or exams that are provided by a publisher for any course component with significant weight just invites cheating and punishes the students who don't cheat.
We're currently working on a REST based API with authentication. Release should be in within the next two weeks.
Good point that metrics can often be collected inappropriately. My point was more that you could:

- do a survey of customer satisfaction on different points (but make it wide-open so they can express other concerns) and see how well ranking increases or decreases

- do an anonymous survey of employee happiness and self-assessments of productivity (but make it wide-open so they can express other concerns) and see how well ranking increases or decreases

- look at number of requests being served and from where, response times, repeat customers, support requests, errors, etc. (things that people won't hopefully make up)

- look at financials for important parts of the company and how they go up and down

- work hard to put money into R&D, tools, training, maintenance, etc. and take away from parts of the company that are draining money
Nice interface. I do see one issue, though.

Click on a file in a subfolder, then click on a file in a top-level folder. Both remain highlighted. See the screenshot for an example.

Is it taking advantage of the professor's foolishness that is really sad or the failure to let him know that you are doing so?
1) Getting a job will let them buy more stuff then just staying at home collecting your gvmt checks.

2) Changing the minimum wage also adjusts the prices of goods and services but in the end it still ends up being a net positive for society. When the minimum wage is increased prices may go up at the same time but usually they don't completely cancel out the wage increase.
That seems a bit glib, seeing as how many of those people were probably spending a great deal of time worrying about keeping their home and trying to find new employment.
The Golang source code for the server code at google is built with this tool. The rules that accomplish this are rather complex due to their interactions with our C++ libraries, and predates the open source "Go" tool. The experience with the Google internal rules, motivated some of the choices in the "go" tool, I believe.

If you're interested, hanwen wrote a bunch rules with similar semantics as the internal rules, see https://github.com/google/bazel/tree/master/base_workspace/e... .

It would be nice to make these semantics match the external ones better, but it requires us to open up more tooling, so people won't need to write BUILD files.
"disclosing up front that you have a competing product"

You're aware this blog post is posted on the blog of said competing product, right?

Not sure how much more disclosure is needed.
Thanks you. We really wanted the core feature to be this ready-to-be-published concept. Glad you like it.
No they’re actually selling. Just saw one go for £850 a few weeks back. And one with only 256gb SSD for £650. It’s crazy!
It's the sort of thing Apple should ban to protect its claim that it is more private than Android.
Religion is just a ponzi scheme that still underpins most of the world's networks and hierarchies.
But according to the documentation, that is just a OOP-hierarchy in which they separate the concerns, they miss the S in the ECS.
When was the time when social convention had a stronger impact?
Reminds me of the book wetware discribing a similar behavior
0. Don't use Clubhouse because it adds no value?
I think you're misunderstanding. The scammers are using the pictures and branding from the kickstarter but sending a completely different bag.
One of my goals is to become a really good vim power user. I am not able to pick up all of these but one here and there.

In the first command gf, once new file opened and then closed (wq), is there a a way to close such that the previous file that was originally opened to return? At moment returning back to shell prompt.

Also curious if there is a way to open the file as a new split screen rather than replacing the entire window?
Get your tin foil hats ready.
Well, for photography it has been like this since before the digital cameras. Even in the 80s I chose my film-based SLR not based on camera features, but on the lenses that were available for it.
MS ran off the hell off of Xenix internally. Mail, calendaring, etc. I remember when NT was going to be the best Unix out there... And then Win32 happened and coolaid got sloshed around. The NT Kernel could have been an amazing Unix.
Agreed. With the current title it was a fluke that I clicked the link despite it being a topic I'm extremely interested in.
CSS has very flexible selectors, so in a sense it already has some abstraction features. Those differ from what we know from other languages, but they are still very useful and should be exploited.

I was never forced to define important colors more than twice in my CSS style sheets, usually defining them just once. Maybe my document structures are too simple to get into trouble - but maybe that's the whole trick.

(i.e. producing less bloat rather than making bloat more manageable.)
And unregistered cookie-based accounts.
It's interesting, because you actually answered to a fun, insightful, and self-criticizing post that actually made me smile, with a patronizing, boring and full of stereotypes post that made me want to shoot myself while watching at a boring american movie.

EDIT : I thought i would develop a bit on my post because it's really a borderline flame as is. What i mean is that, okay we're all gonna try hard and be adults, even the author of this post eventually, and maybe he is, because for all i can tell about the tone of the post, it may all be fictionnal.

The OP did a brilliant job (IMHO) in capturing this moment of loneliness you get when you have to process this seemingly endless stream of borderline useless daily tasks, that constitutes the basic things you've got to do in modern society, and hence the infrastructure of being an adult responsible person, and you somehow can't seem to manage it. It was very well done and quite humoristic if you can't tell.

On the other hand, you're just serving a bunch of empty moralizations that everybody already interned, OP included. In short, you're totally missing the point and tone of the post from what i can tell.
MMT, stated simply, is an independent reinvention of what sensible macroeconomists call the fiscal theory of the price level (FTPL). (Noahpinion's excellent blogpost mentions "fiscal dominance", which is shorthand for the same general idea.) It's a nice way of looking at things like hyperinflation in Zimbabwe or Weimar Germany. But it has little worthwhile to add to "mainstream" economics when it comes to describing reasonably stable, well-behaved economies like the United States. Indeed, its "alternative", unintuitive interpretations of existing mechanisms can be unfamiliar and cause confusion. This is basically what's happening in that NYT article: proponents deluding themselves into believing things that don't really stand up to serious scrutiny.

Some of the related ideas, like the "job guarantee" as what amounts to a supply-side intervention, show a similar "twist" on labor economics: it's hard to tell whether they're interesting or new, but if they're interesting they're not new (you can achieve the same effect with an EITC-like wage subsidy), and if they're new they're not interesting.
This seems to not be an open API but instead only available to a whitelisted group of partners. Is this correct? Is it reasonable to expect this to have open availability by later this year?
"use their iPhone to seamlessly and securely accept Apple Pay, contactless credit and debit cards, and other digital wallets through a simple tap"

other digital wallets = crypto?
They do mark up the groceries
He even said the developers were competent...at developing. They'd released some not-so-good software towards the end of the project due to "manager pressure".

It sounds like they didn't have a good systems person though nor good (and general) software leadership, often good software leadership is also your early-stage systems person. Jacques here acted as their systems integrator to save the day along with what sounds like mild programming support to cleanup some of the unfinished software product that got pushed too early.
Yes, I'm sure the pilots will have better working conditions if they get rid of their unions...
Without context, I could guess that quote could have been written at any time in the past couple decades. It's the "nuclear fusion" of our industry: one day someone will make it happen, but not as soon as you think.
I use Caddy for most of my projects and it's fantastic. Everything works as it should by default.
Buffett has talked about looking for "elephant" sized acquisitions. Berkshire is so large that it becomes difficult to find good investments of a sufficient size to move the needle. As a smaller investor, I can buy portions of a few $1B market cap companies and make a difference in my portfolio. Buffett, even if he bought such companies outright at a 20% premium, would need to find about 100 of them.

> How he got his initial money is not a particularly nice story of success...

The actual purchase of the failing Berkshire Hathaway textile company perhaps (unless this is about Buffett doing something allegedly unethical)? The textile operation ultimately failed in the mid 1980s, but Buffett was able to, in the meantime, reallocate its cash flows to more promising ventures.
Is there any kind of standard for this? Every SSS implementation I've seen has its own custom format for the shards, so if you lose the program that reassembles them you can't recover the secret.
Shout out to California and… the App Store? for disallowing this kinda shit

I have used login.gov for my global entry application and I'm actually impressed. The only complaints I have with it are:

1. It doesn't make it obvious on how to add additional u2f keys (you have to go to login.gov explicitly to do that)

2. I still can't find a way to remove u2f keys

But then when I used id.me with CA DMV I'm also impressed by it (granted CA DMV does not require any crazy biometric stuff there like IRS planned to do).
Precisely - piracy matches the resources of kids (or anyone) with lots of free time but minimal income, while convenient storefronts and streaming services match the resources of adults (or anyone) with disposable income but minimal free time.

Over time, the former tend to grow into the latter.

That's why I think DRM exists mainly to placate skittish rightsholders and to prevent piracy from becoming more convenient than paid stores and services so that adults who are short on time would be tempted. There may also be a transitional group in the middle that could pick either option, so media and game businesses want to nudge them towards becoming paying customers rather than pirates.
Lots of my friends in this point of their careers are having a hard time moving. Everyone is looking for a senior SWE. No one wants to really pay for it.

Also, as a recently returned American expat. It was really, really hard. Things that were important to me while working in Europe, like GDPR, had no equivalent in the US. I turned to old alumni friends to get me in the door. That proved more effective than spraying resumes.
+1 (and he makes a lot of references to XX century philosophers, which are worth exploring).

Also watch Adam Curtis. Read Noam Chomsky. Michael O'Church has been writing very interesting stuff for many years.
I would start meditating, it will help you on being able to identify and intervene on repetitive, negative thought patterns (rumination).

Give yourself 10 minutes everyday to train your mind. I use the app Waking up.

Release anxiety through some physical exercise several days per week, ideally something you enjoy.

Every day, build some grit by doing something difficult - the fact that you’ve done it, and continue to do it, will become a foundation for overcoming resistance. I like to take a cold shower every morning, which seems silly until you step up to the faucet and have to pony up and actually do it.

Read books, so few people read anymore, those who do are able to absorb the distilled wisdom of many lifetimes.

Lastly, you are not alone, I don’t know how to create a bullet list here either. You are also not alone in your struggles, we are all human and suffer in our ways. Good luck.
not constant, but I do suffer from some anxiety.
First, it might be useful for you to look for professional help.

Then, some things that were helpful for me, and may be helpful for you, ymmv:

- check your health: maybe you suffer from physical issues, such as high blood pressure, and you can help it with pills, which will help with anxiety.

- drop coffee and sigarettes, reduce alcool, eat more vegetables and fruit; it's weird, but it helps.

- physical activity; I spend 1-2 hours every morning a day walking (or running), it's good for both body and mind.

- daily meditation; get a test account on headspace, try it for a week.

- face anxiety-inducing things ASAP; E.g. if you are stressed cause you wrote shitty code, just tell your boss/colleagues immediately; if you fucked up something with your partner, tell them etc. Once bad things happened, you will stop worrying about what might happen.

- "hedge" your anxiety-inducing problems; if you are worried about your family surviving without you, set up life insurance. If you feel incompetente and unable to find another job, spend some time studying something new, and try applying for another position, even if you don't want to take it, you may be able to find something else, or learn what's missing.

Good luck, anxiety sucks.
️ after year of this technology being around still this is the best article HN can upvote. Be a sceptic and a scientist
I found this concise talk (around 3 minutes) to be really insightful. In case you can't watch the movie, the main points of the talk were that visuals and the ability to properly filter information can help simplify complex problems.

None, but the point of the OP is that operations is a lot more involved than racking servers and hitting power switches. There's a wide range of stuff that between "developer" and "server racking". The things on this spectrum that are closer to developer are the things that I'm saying are not worth outsourcing, my previous comments in this thread touch on that.
Agreed. I mean, what a story about how companies are stolen, criminals take over banks, and murderers dictate to judges. About how politicians pay lip service to cleaning up the system, or actively assist the criminals. It's a story whose twist and turns lead down a dark trail of corruption, violence.... and theft of billions from taxpayers via bank bailouts and currency devaluation and the eventual US/UK default upon billions of social obligation debt.

Oops sorry, was going to stay on track with the Russian story. Don't know what happened there. Wait, what? The russian politicians only stole $235 Million? Man, they are small potatoes. Our politicans print hundreds of billions of dollars out of thin air every month, and we say 'sir, may we have some more'.
First, I love the idea and I'm looking forward to use it. The only thing I wasn't sure while looking at the "landing" page was: "Where is the blog hosted? Does it go to: gitcp.com/<my-name> ? or in the hook I can specify my domain? Or..? Otherwise, well done sir.
Okay, so no pancakes for the home. But McDonald's cheeseburgers... ;)
It's amusing that the Hearst family made its fortune mining gold. Just 150 years later, they're mining data.
Why would I use this over blogger or even just gh_pages? Why .textile, is that file magical? What if I want two blog entries? Can I have each blog entry its own folders? What about other markup? Is http://gitcp.com/sorenbs/jsgames-articles an example or something unrelated that you did and just linking to?

The image fails in your test:

Rather than four hands showing you what to do having the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 as circle dots or something would be more clear.

How do I customize the header/footer?
I switch back and forth between metal working and wood working on a daily basis and have used metric for both for 15 years. With the wacky thicknesses of plywood/etc fractional units are just not convenient any more.

I mentioned the rental income more as an indicator of the 'utility' one derives from having use of the property during ownership. Alas, given how negligible the sum is in the scheme of things, it scarcely matters who assumes the burden.

To your actual point, to tax someone out of a £10m home in London today the council tax rate would have to be increased many thousands of times over. That is not a realistic danger.

This policy is seeing a resurgence of popular support in the form of the 'Mansion tax', but really all we need is a more equitable council tax.
Given that a) Apple doesn't/can't store your entire 3D fingerprint and b) registering your finger into multiple TouchID "slots" on your phone increases the iPhone's accept rate, to me means that

While I applaud the research, Krissler needs to prove that he can unlock a device reliably using a system like TouchID (as a reference platform) using this intensive photograph-only modeling approach before I become worried - his previous efforts last year don't count as "previous proof" - if it were reliable, there would be a comprehensive breakdown/proof.

Fingerprint technology has improved greatly - e.g. TouchID requires something warm like flesh behind the scan, and does image the 3D contours as applied to the press - which deform the scan from it's natural state.

I have always been fascinated by computers and passionate about programming. I never taught I would ever feel ashamed of my passion ... that maybe I have been part of the decline of freedom and privacy, the same things I've always believed in and fought for . I've finished reading again 1984 a short time ago, and I felt sick reading this article and realizing we're making a monster.

I stopped using Facebook a few months ago and it was not so easy as I thought. Since then, whenever I people ask me I give them my views about keeping privacy and such ... they always have the same reply: Why would you want to hide something ? or We can do nothing about it, everyone does it ... it makes me even sicker when it comes from Tech friends who understand the consequences but just don't care about it.
I think the author's point was that the example in question was orders of magnitude smaller than "big data" and that it was more efficient to process it on a single machine, not that Hadoop and friends aren't easy to use.
