You seem to be saying something much more complex then me. I'm saying having a tax on income discourages labor COMPARED TO NO TAX ON INCOME.

That's seems true regardless of other taxes. The only way it wouldn't be true is if raising taxes on labor also raised taxes on all other possible actions in somehow an exactly symmetrical way.
Great opportunistic timing for whoever did this.

I think honda is targeting old people and using young people to demo how it works.

Um...Wow.

Aside from Mr. Garrison's gyro-thingie ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Entity_%28South_Park%29 ), that's the most emasculating mode of travel I've ever seen.
Not being able to work is one thing.

Not being able to work and have hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt because of it is a whole other situation
Someone who calls it global warming is a bit behind the times, and that's typically how the GOP describes it. Sure, if certain areas just got a little warmer, it'd be easy to adapt to. The problem is CLIMATE change, we rely on our climate for crops, fish, lack of natural disasters, lack of drought, lack of polar vortex, and on and on.

Unfortunately, I could believe a university atmosphere promotes ideological fervor and suppresses neutrality in this cancel-culture, overly PC society. But we really do need to stop using the term "global warming" in a serious way, this is bad science.
> From that viewpoint are immigrants the only "true" citizens of a nation because they actively choose to be a part of it?

The criteria for citizenship have varied a lot over time, and usually have to do with the economic or identity system of the country.

For example , when the US was an agrarian society, African slaves could not be citizens, because doing so would undermine the economic system underpinned by slavery.

Today, some middle eastern countries have religious requirements for immigrants to become citizens.

The modern concept of a citizen (vs a subject) is itself only a few hundred years old.

So I'm not sure if there is a "true" definition of a citizen, in any morally defensible way.
I agree! It sounds like a fun experiment.
You'd have 12 people running a few servers, not 100k trying to scour your mind for intent and subconscious clicks... Think POF.com vs Match.com 3 guys and a few servers or 3000 people doing something...

Hilariously disconnected from reality. That would be tens of petawatt-hours. The world uses tens of petawatt-hours of electricity annually.

In (2)'s paper [2], the images are really neat. Staring at it for a few moments, I feel like I can see where the computer is coming from. A bit.

The robin, armadillo, centipede, peacock, and bubble all actually have a little swirl of features that - to me at least - resemble the labels provided. But from afar, and you've got to basically damp the noise. I did this by taking my glasses off and leaning about 8 inches from the screen (with the grid taking about 3 inches wide). I've got about -7.5 diopter near-sightedness, so this cleaned the images right up. At least the armadillo I would have guessed, as it's absolutely a little critter walking to the lower right, and it has the demi-circle body and long face. And it might make sense: it was told to make an armadillo, so it did. And nothing else.

(I also think the baseball was super clever - if this were abstract art, I would totally have fallen for that classification, as well as a few of the others. There's something cool going on there.)

I'm printing and reading the rest of the paper now (about a quarter done). To say it's both fascinating and interesting really understates it. Really neat stuff!

I did the same thing recently, and I've hated it since. 10.7 removed Rosetta, broke "Save As", and annoyified the Save dialog.

But there were just too many pieces of software that wouldn't run, and unpatched security holes didn't seem like a good idea either.

To add insult to injury, Apple doesn't allow you to virtualize non-server versions of 10.6. You can, thankfully, hack VMWare Workstation and keep running your previous machine's image that way, but it's shitty that you have to jump through those hoops. It seems geared specifically towards keeping people from continuing to use their old apps.
That was the first thing I saw as well.
I saw Martin Odersky use this exact problem in a talk he was giving about Scala. It came out to about 10 lines.
Obviously I meant "verbose" :-p LOL
One of my friend had a similar domain but he got it refunded
because it didn't worked in all browsers etc and would not in future either according to him because of ICANN's specs
which go against symbols in domain names.
I'm not clear how how the snowman translates to xn--n3h...?
This is really pushing the fundamental limit of DRM, namely, that you must both lock up the data so that the user can't "steal" it and give them the key so they can watch the movie.
This would be interesting/useful for smoothing geospatial polygons (eg, KML).
Sorry, we're no longer hiring. Small company means we don't have that many positions currently :-(.
PBS and NPR have to deal with this issue every year and their solution is pretty simple. They report it as they would want to, mention that X Co sponsored them in the past/present, and don't take their advertising dollars for that piece.
In a mid-sized American city, I prefer to cycle since downtown and the inner-ring suburbs have 15-20 minute bicycle trips. My wife and I split a car.

Traffic is not as bad as the worst places: you can drive most places in town within about a half-hour. But when you have to run a couple of errands in the car-centric suburbs, that time piles up quickly. Try to run 2-3 errands in the suburbs and you're spending hours driving. It's horrible.

Of course, we have no light rail and the buses are really slow. Cycling is the main viable alternative.

Looks like $499 for 64GB storage and 2GB RAM, $599 for 128GB storage and 4GB of RAM (WiFi models; 4G LTE model pricing wasn't showing for me).
I'm interested in this question too. I set my girlfriend up with the Surface Pro 3, and besides it being awkward on her lap (ironically, the Surface needs a surface), I think its an amazing machine, especially for the price. It isn't quite Apple level with the hardware design, but it's close and it feels like Windows 8 was designed for it.

My worry is that Ubuntu wouldn't really work with the touch screen.

Edit: I should mention, she got the i5 1.9 GHz and mostly uses it for work (Excel / Outlook) and video (Skype / Netflix). No fan issues.
I read a bit of his stuff and he seems reasonably cogent (with perhaps a bias towards ignoring the cultural basis of gender roles), but with a tendency for poorly considered word choices that get him into trouble. The full context for your quote is here:

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/102881506316/im-a-what

He addresses your direct quote explicitly lower down the page:

"I realize I might take some heat for lumping women, children and the mentally handicapped in the same group. So I want to be perfectly clear. I’m not saying women are similar to either group. I’m saying that a man’s best strategy for dealing with each group is disturbingly similar."

So did I! I thought it was a spoof of backbone although I couldn't really understand what the reason for the parody was, so I kept on reading to see what it was all about.
Even the name suggests it is a backbone "clone".

Edit:
Upon reading more about it, it sounds like a really nice framework.
A shame it is branded so similarly to backbone which is bound to result in people fighting about which is better, spine or backbone, instead of seeing it for its own merits.
If the icons rotated in place, the icon positioning might not be too bad.
I am SO sorry for your loss. I cannot even begin to understand or appreciate the gravity of what you have experienced.

In my humble opinion, the best thing you can do to put life back together, and honor your father's memory... is to mentor someone else.

Pay it forward, if you will.

This will cement the lessons he taught you, in your mind, and you will learn more through experience.

I would also venture to say that you will come up with wisdom of your own, as times goes on.

As much as it hurts, this experience of losing your father, and how you respond to it, in your life... will be part of makes you who you are.

If you ever need/want to talk, don't hesitate to drop me a line.
I don't exactly agree with you, but I'm curious why you were downvoted. Isn't anyone else sick of buying off these troublesome countries with aid and arms? Just look at the Israel situation, the US is offering them 20 stealth warplanes, free of charge (among other things), just so they stop building in the West Bank for 90 days.
It’s not just a question of 95% immunity vs. 50% immunity (even if we were to take your arbitrary 50% number at face value). It’s also a question of how long we expect the immunity to last for two-dose vs. one-dose, and where we expect to be in terms of virus spread and vaccine manufacturing and vaccination rates when that initial immunity runs out. These are complicated questions.
If it’s any help, I eventually got mine. Just followed their online process. I’m in Canada. Didn’t get my refund from Air Transat (only a credit) and as long as the Canadian government allows this, I’ll probably be waiting at least another year to use the credit.
I think there’s two points to address here.

1) it’s rare, if ever, that a CEO, CFO or COO faces jail time for crimes the company committed that are similar or worse compared to jail-able offenses by individuals. So your second point doesn’t really happen in practice.

2) shareholders SHOULD be punished for the actions of the company. If my dog maims you because of my negligence to control it, I’m liable. If a corporation knowingly commits crimes, then the CEO (and everyone in the chain down to whoever performed the criminal action) is a criminal, and the board and the shareholders should be liable for not exercising proper control and guidance. When you own something you also take on responsibility for that object. Stocks are no different.
Considering Facebook are the main reason millions of people won’t take COVID vaccines when they become available, this is the least of their sins, and these are pretty big sins. Same for YouTube.
I deeply love the characters Wolfe has given us. The moral systems by which his characters conduct themselves have been a scaffold for my own when my parents fell short. It's writing that exceeds itself past the only sensual, becoming symbolic glories to remember continually as I live. I can't praise him enough. It's so odd to have as a tension an author of fiction staining me on one half and the Buddha's early teachings on the other. It's a tension I treasure.

I have one criticism of him and it's a strong one -- I hate it because it has locked out just about every woman I've introduced to his corpus: his treatment of women. So very many of them: Chenille, the fire nymphs, just about every one Severian sleeps with save for dear Thecla, Chenille-as-Scylla, the prostitutes of Fifth Head, Jahi, Jolenta, Hyacinth, Jesus there must be a legion more I can't recall just now... So many of them are vampish, buxom women who are either put on a pedestal or written to be beauteous victims. That's not to say strong women don't exist in his books: there are a few but it's by and large the men who are written as whole people. One woman runs around for a few hundred pages stark naked with a flimsy premise as to why.

If readers can repeatedly forgive him for these excesses, his writing can transform the way you see the world and the purpose of living in it. A small excerpt: "We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges."
Do note that while Jack Vance is wonderful, there's some really ugly stuff in subsequent Dying Earth books (Eyes of the Overworld and Cugel's Saga) that make it a bit hard to take for modern readers. It's not explicitly described, but having the protagonist (who is admittedly a dick, but not really portrayed as an anti-hero per se) commit multiple rapes might not be for everyone.

Despite this, I love Vance's work (AFAIK I have read almost all of his work except the detective fiction and his one book for teens), but there's really some hard stuff to justify from a modern perspective about assault, gender and race in there.
> LUA

Not that it really matters that much, but just for future reference: Lua is a proper noun, not an acronym.
Well, obviously in the real world, devices do not have unbounded transmit rates. But you can get pretty damn close to the transmitter. The Shannon limit isn't the only relevant limit, and is no reason to dismiss out of hand an entire class of optimizations that do help in the real world.

(Also, even if your equipment is capable of hitting the Shannon limit, I'm not convinced that transmitting at the highest power level is going to be optimal for multi-party communications with geographically distributed APs and stations. The information channel between my neighbor's AP and his laptop is neither identical to nor completely separate from the information channel between my AP and my laptop.)
The rule of thumb I use is that the utilisation of the spectrum is 5%. This is based on a conference that I went to (20 years ago granted) where an Australian group had actually measured the utilisation of the spectrum. This was in the context of "whitespace" radio, where they were investigating the opportunistic use of licensed but unused spectrum. Their answer was that from a technical perspective it's worth doing as 95% of the spectrum is available for opportunistic use, the main barriers being non-technical.

Personally I can't see a problem with a "free for all". As space-time (MIMO) coding comes to dominate, WiFi access points will be increasingly focusing their transmissions on specific spatial regions leading to less interference on average, even if the devices are sharing a frequency.

It's in the transmitter's self-interest to maximise channel capacity by focusing as much power as possible on the receiver of interest and not wasting power by spraying it around in an omni-directional manner. This self-interest will avoid a "tragedy of the commons", provided the rules say that everyone has the same maximum power, forcing people to use their radiated power wisely.
Touché. Well played, sir. :-)
It'll sure take lots of tricks like that to mitigate the huge downside. At some point it just becomes a bus route.
For you, what is the difference between marriage and wedding?
It's not that straight forward.

First because ultra-high earners can and do move abroad to avoid or evade income taxation. So if you kill sales tax/VAT, corporate tax and other taxes, suddenly it is very attractive for people earning millions per year to move their tax residence to Monaco (or indeed London, for "non-dom" taxpayers), where they don't pay income taxes.

Second because there is need for some "fairness" and equivalence between treating employment income and treating small entrepreneurs who do the same. Whether keeping the total percentage of corporate income tax+dividend tax to a similar level as personal income tax, or allowing similar deductions on mortgages for a personal "buy-to-let" rental as for an incorporated rental company, in order to avoid perverse incentives.

And while I agree that mortgage interest deductions are an economically counterproductive and regressive policy, that is besides the point if the point is not tax policy but tax dodging...
Yep, my guess is they just pop in a flag that says "not current" or "former" or something. Think about what someone could do with this data though. They can unfreeze your credit report. Apply for a loan or credit card or mortgage. All they need is your name, DOB, SSN (or just last 4), and the last 3 addresses you resided at.
From what I can see, this site sends your whole number to the backend to search for a number in the dump[0], while haveibeenpwned.com will hash the input, send only a prefix to the server and receive a list of hashes with the same prefix. If your hash is in the list, you've been pwned, but you can check without leaking your data to HIBP.

Edit: I just checked, seems like the form on the frontpage of HIBP also submits your complete email/phone number. Pretty sure I read about how you don't have to submit your personal data to validate against HIBP, not to long ago...

Making the banner non-dismissable, not indicating there are missing results, and experimenting on individuals by degrading their experience unnecessarily are not things you do when you respect your users.

If Google is going to pretend it's a neutral, benign, entity they should at least try to pretend they care about us.
While true, there's a certain level of "we must use math concepts to describe things", which while true sometimes just seems unnecessarily silly. "The Monoid 'Natural Numbers under Addition' is associative" => "putting brackets in any place when adding >2 numbers doesn't change the result".

It adds to the perception of "I need to understand masters level maths to use Haskell".
I suspect we will hit an inflection point where Objc is bridged to swift code rather than the other way around - no reason to let Swift be the one taking the interoperability hit.

There are already controls in Big Sur and iOS 14 (Color Picker) which are SwiftUI and bridged to UIKit/AppKit.
Thanks for your response.

Perhaps the pre-WW1 period is too different from today because we're still living in the 100-year+ experiment if central banks and applied Keynesian theory. If the Austrian school's business cycle theories are correct, recessions are longer and more painful under central banks' manipulated monetary markets because malinvestments are rarely cleared from the economy: those enterprises get bailed out instead, and taxpayers foot the bill.

Do you have a source for asserting that people saving gold caused the great depression?
Submission is clearly editorialised, but so too, lede is clearly buried. And exceedingly difficult to extract from content as written (HN offers guidelines on improving or clarifying titles, they just don't work here).

Unfortunately, this also makes metadiscussion of the submission and title dominate the thread, at least until dang cleans up.

I'm pinging dang.
Wisdom comes from depth and breadth not breadth alone. That initial bolder claim was a major turn off for me. The “wisdom” you get from breadth is the same kind of “wisdom” you get from seeing a lot of faces go by on the street. It’s surface level, and mostly wrong.

Here's one with a UK Mac layout: https://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard/uk-va109mac-pbt-backlit-...

I'm currently dithering between buying that or the Das as my own A1243 is slowly dying, but at least that one looks like all the buttons are in the right place.
The CE mechanism is great. One little known trick, is you can add a magic member "Quote". The impl. being `member _.Quote () = ()`, and that will result in the Run method receiving an Expr tree representing the entire computation. You then have the ability to take that expr tree and convert to another language e.g. sql, cuda, etc.

I used it on a project where I converted the expression tree to a graph query language "cypher".
I agree. I understand the impulse of most people to say that FB is replaceable. But the network effects there are so strong that it's not. If FB leaves, a lot of things would be completely disrupted (not in a good way).

FB was smart enough to go into business fields. A social network is replaceable. But what FB has become is not.

As much as I hate to admit it, they are very good at what they do.
>> About 30% of the staff have no permanent desk.

Lacking a permanent desk would leave me constantly wondering if my position were also temporary. Even when I worked for a consulting firm who kept me on-site with the client 100% of the time, I had a permanent desk back at HQ.

Ugh, I have been getting tired of my current project and had started thinking of getting out of freelancing and back into wage employment just for a change of pace. But the more I read, the more I stories I hear from friends and family still in those environments, the more I realize things have only gotten worse. 5 years ago, everyone knew management was lying about the open-floor plan being bad for productivity. Now it sounds like people actually believe the lie and the open-floor plan is no longer reserved for the asshat-MBA-consultoware companies.
Hosting out of an S3 buckst wholly ignores the problem of discoverability. How do listeners find your music? How do they get recommended music similar to their own taste?
I use rsync to back up compressed text, .rc files, etc. The critically important stuff, that in meatspace would go in a safe. Photos, music, and movies (the kind of stuff that would be on bookshelves) get backed up to terabyte hard drives in USB external boxes.

The difference here is that the important stuff is also on those drives. "Importance" here means how many times it's replicated, and how far apart the backups are.
this is exactly what I thought, too

I think we all labor under certain types of illusions on a daily basis - i.e. we ignore the dangers of driving because we have the illusion of control. If we thought about all of the permutations and repercussions of every action it might paralyze us. The mechanisms that we use to allow us to function day-to-day probably dull our senses.
I think this is a classic example of hacker (or tech-savy types in general) having a very different experience than the rest of the population. For example, do you know when more households had DVD players than had VCRs? If you said Q3 2006, you win! (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nielsen-study-shows-...)

If you're the typical tech-savy type, that fact probably seems rather unbelievable. Almost as unbelievable as the idea that most people stuck with AOL precisely for the walled garden. I mean, it make sense...Facebook's rise is because of, not in spite of, AOL's decline. Same as the iTunes App Store is more successful than the Android store (never mind the handsets, the app store contest still seems to be a very one-sided ordeal).

AOL's big flaw was that they thought their major offering was a dial-up internet connection. What they didn't see was that their main product was actually just the walled garden internet experience that most people (i.e. not the tech savvy types) were looking for. If they had realized that, then AOL could have been the Facebook of today. So, in a way...I guess Facebook is becoming the new AOL, but that's probably not a bad thing!
I read that with my jaw on the floor ... the whole time.

I really cannot bring myself to believe that this guy operates with such impunity. That being said, people really really need to learn to check out a merchant online before buying from them.
Wow, that does a lot to confirm my initial impression of them: Neither 'open' nor DNS
