Fun facts about corporate taxation (Source: https://www.managementstudyguide.com/history-of-corporate-ta...):

First introduced: 1894
Reintroduced: 1913 with a rate of 1%

Personally this makes me assume that corporate tax should not exist. If it worked for hundreds of years without it, it's most likely just supporting the authority and growth of the state.
I don't think the gambling analogy works here. You can't invest 5 dollars in a company 1000 times until you have no money left.

Also gambling odds are heavily controlled. Could you imagine a pit boss telling you "Table 5's die have an unfair advantage to land on 7"? Conversely, people raising money tell you exactly why they will succeed and why they are a better choice than some other company. These people can be very convincing as well.

When gambling, bets are easy to understand. You make a static bet before the wheel spins. When investing, size of the pot depends on how well the company was valued when you made that bet. The next players may decide that the company was only worth half what you paid. This isn't something uneducated investors expect.
No law was overturned, a practice of the government was found to be against the law.
I'd argue that there's actually no difference in his behavior. Trump has been consistently divisive, untruthful and inflammatory since day one. What has happened is that his sustained behavior has radicalized a significant fraction of the population to the point that they are convinced that everyone else is lying to them and there's a massive conspiracy against their god-leader. I don't want to run afoul of Godwin's Law here, but if you ever wonder how people ended up following leaders like Stalin, Franco or Mussolini - it was a process of years. People who called this out as dangerous from day one were ridiculed as alarmists or partisans.
The data is still on Telegram's servers, unencrypted. They may be doing ads in a channel/group, but I don't think for one second that's where they're going to stop now that they've entered that rabbit hole. By the time you'd realise, it'd be too late, since they've got your data on their servers, unencrypted. This is strictly worse than WhatsApp.

> There is no more power to give

Ability to censor top level politicians, deciding what constitutes acceptable and what needs to be censored is not the kind of power they used to have.

Edit: bit clarification
Nor should it.

It would require the FCC to apply to content produced outside of the US and consumed within. That will never fly. The age of where the fairness doctrine was needed is long gone.

With the democratization of the media which was completed with the ascent of the internet both governments and established media players; some of which were merely mouth pieces for various political factions; lost their ability to control the message but most importantly lost the ability to control the truth.

The issue faced now is insuring that people have the opportunity to identify information authenticity without having to go back to the situation where we were just expected to trust what we were told.

News, information, whatnot, is now world wide and governments all over will do their best to control what you can see and say and it is up to everyone to make their job harder if not impossible. the only way to a free society is by not allowing governments to control the truth

This was my first thought at reading the headline before clicking through. Thank you for sharing the form from archive team.

My first thought was Hal Finney, whose account I occasionally browse for a reminder of what twitter was like 10 years ago.

https://twitter.com/halfin

>Harold Thomas Finney II (May 4, 1956 – August 28, 2014) was a developer for PGP Corporation, and was the second developer hired after Phil Zimmermann. In his early career, he was credited as lead developer on several console games. He also was an early bitcoin contributor and received the first bitcoin transaction from bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto [1]

This is only one example. So many historical figures gone to free up some vanity names.

> Easiest trick in the book: Associate any idea you disagree with, with "certain vocal minorities". Works wonders on here and Twitbook. I put this in the same bag as I put book reviews which go along the lines of "characters have no depth", and "no plot".

I'm not sure who's literary critique in particular hurt you, but it's irrelevant.

> Is the fact that Nietzsche is still studied and cited in a positive light, that books are written on his works by academics at leading universities including Oxford still not sufficient for you, or is it only Frankfurt types you'll openly associate with?

Ah yes. Yes. The Frankfurt School. Allegiance to that group is always at the root of these problems, isnt it? You are not a "social marxism" conspiracy theorist at all.

Maybe post things that are meaningful about technology and science rather than the crackpot edge of Nietzche's widely rebutted social economics? Next you're going to tell me Burke was right. If you need someone to tell you it's all right, no fear! You've got a lot of other options. Maybe, go to a site like SSC.
That gave me an idea for an app which would permute all phrases of any length randomly and have forward and back pointers to the next and previous word in the series. At the end of an _n_ word phrase, the next link would give you an _n_+1 phrase.

If a crawler came along (like archive.org) it might index all permutations, giving you some evidence of when your site “coined” a phrase.

The app may want to consult a recent USPTO dump you avoid known trademarks and copyrights. Sounds like a fun exercise.
The Harold McGee article linked on the right mentions that the alkaline ingredients in ramen noodles are slightly different from baking soda:

>As for the particular alkaline ingredients that are added to noodles, Chinese and Asian alkaline noodles, in general, contain potassium and sodium carbonate, which are not the sort of things that we usually have lying around in our kitchens. They’re carbonate salts of those metals, sodium and potassium. They’re standard ingredients in Asia but not so much in the West.

>However, you can easily make your own version of them by taking baking soda and baking it at a low temperature—200°, 250°F—for about an hour. You take baking soda, sodium bicarbonate, and turn it into sodium carbonate just by that gentle heat. Now, that leaves out potassium carbonate, but I’ve found that when I’ve experimented with it, simply using sodium carbonate gives you most of the effect that you’re looking for in an alkaline noodle.

Would it make sense to prebake the baking soda? I'll have to experiment myself.

The standard is "likelihood of confusion." so if you call Nitro the other white meat then someone will have to be confused and think you are talking about a meat product. Also I believe you would have to be using the name in trade(sell a book titled Nitro the other white meat or some such) On the other hand it would not be likely to dilute their TM since generic-ness is usually in reference to a class of products. Nitro not being in the same class should not dilute the name for the meat industry. aka Apple music vs Apple computers.
You're entirely right that we shouldn't rely on sensory input from our ears to drive or cycle. However, the fact of the matter is that many people use their hearing to supplement their other senses.

When I worked with deaf people as relay operator, a question asked by a coworker during our orientation session on deaf culture was 'How do deaf people drive if they can't hear sirens from emergency vehicles?' The answer is that they rely on their other input to and have learned to compensate for their lack of hearing. In effect they may be aware of these possibilities and check their rearviews more frequently to account for not being able to depend on auditory updates.

If all vehicles were completely silent, it would remove the benefit those of us with hearing gain from the additional input, even though this input isn't strictly speaking necessary. We could and would adapt, sure, but I think that additional factor when cycling does help in some situations. I can see engines making some noise to be advantageous, even if it only makes the difference of one fatality a year, because there is very little drawback.

More to the point, those grand houses (not to mention, all manor of nice public works like subways in NYC) were built on the cheap labor of people who couldn't dream of owning their own home. The reason that kind of architecture became scarce in the 50's is that it became prohibitive for the merely-rich (as opposed to super-rich) to hire armies of artisans to cater to every detail.

Simple is without a doubt, not even close, the best bank app I have ever used. Simple as a bank is probably one of the worst banks I have ever tried to deal with. I very regularly wish that their app was a layer on top of other bank accounts, such that I could view my Chase account but from the Simple app.

Unfortunately, their banking business (not the app) was their core business, and they were absolutely awful at banking.

Earlier today there was discussion of the FluxEngine[1], due to it's newly added Mac 800k disk read/support (OK, it had read for a while, but now it can both read and write).

What I love about the FluxEngine is that it is so simple - no custom PCBs, just a single PSOC development board with a single set of soldered header pins.

Not saying that the other alternatives are bad - it's great to have competition. For several years it seemed that KryoFlux would be the sole dominant USB floppy controller, nice to see there's a range of options available.

Edit: seems as though FluxEngine may gain support for using GreaseWeazle hardware[2] at some point, which would be neat!

I was not trying to imply that BTC's price will never go higher than the current price.

I just find it interesting how regular people (including me, I'm not a big crypto enthusiast and I don't follow the prices and innovations in the field) are inclined to buy when they hear about the peak in the news and then expect that the price will continue to go up, then get frustrated when in about a month, the value of their acquired coins go down.

>. If Google cuts your salary 50% because you move to a cheaper area, maybe that doesn't make a difference to you but it is free profit for Google shareholders.

And thats exactly how a company should operate - maximize profit while minimizing cost. And conversly, as an individual, you should do the exact same, which is get paid as much as you can for your work (or do the minimum amount of work for the pay you get). When both of those strategies meet in the middle, you get a paid job position.
> Not quite. It builds a dependancy graph of your code and can figure out what definitions depend on others. So depending on what you change, maybe only one or two cells need to be rerun. Or in other circumstances, the whole notebook will have to re-run. It just depends on what changes.

But the effect is still that any changes up-file will be always reflected down-file? If so, I don't care how it's implemented (given it's fast enough and doesn't break), the semantics is the point.

> I think the main trouble with the caching is that the native code you cache can depend very strongly on the exact combination of packages you have loaded. This means you can hit a combinatorial explosion of different methods to cache pretty quickly, so you'd need to find a very clever way to find the right methods to keep and which ones to delete once the cache gets too big.

Yes, I think this is a problem for a clean solution. But for a big fat ugly hack that isn't too picky on wasting disk space or occasionally recompiling stuff needlessly it's probably less so.

For a lot of cases very rough invalidation would probably suffice. E.g. invalidate all definitions from all files that are changed from the last run (i.e. like Make does). And invalidate all definitions for any name that gets any definition. I'd guess accomplishing this would cut the startup time greatly; the end-user code rarely redefines (at least intentionally) anything that's in the packages, and vast majority of time is spent (re)compiling the packages themselves.

I'm sure there are complications with type inference. But I'd be willing to pepper some explicit typing in my code if it means I don't have to recompile it every time I run it. Binary of a method with concrete types should at least be trivially cacheable (given no library changes between runs).

> This is being actively worked on though.

It's been worked on for as long as I've known of Julia. AFAIK there's still absolutely zero logic on caching compilations of "end-user-stuff" (as opposed to stuff like package precompilation). I don't think this is necessarily due to technical issues, but because the community says that REPL (or notebook) is the only way of using Julia, and those don't suffer from the problem that much (Revise.jl breakage notwithstanding).

Technically it's probably very difficult to do "perfectly", and I'm thinking this is how the compiler devs want to do it. I'm not sure they even mean persisting-between-runs caching when they say "caching" in compiler related discussions. It may well be just some run-time caching of some compilation artefacts that are now compiled multiple times. And that would probably not have that dramatic performance gains for the re-run case.

For an AOT compiler Julia is clearly fast enough. There are probably no easy tricks left to make it a lot faster. But re-run performance doesn't need faster AOT, it just needs the compiler not to recompile the same identical stuff every time.

If you scribble a silly poem called "Green Froggy Dance!" on a soggy napkin and tuck it under your mattress, that work is still copyright. It's not registered, so your damages in case of infringement aren't the same, but nonetheless your work is your own.
