There are two types of tax nexus: federal/national, and state.

Federal/national tax nexus is a matter of federal law, and can be affected by treaties with other countries (i.e., "permanent establishment" or "branches"). Treaties can occasionally result in a foreign person/company having a US tax reporting requirement (i.e., tax returns) without actually owing any US taxes!

State tax nexus is an entirely separate beast which differs from state to state and is not affected by US treaties! In some states, physical presence is required to have a nexus; in others, merely selling to customers into the state is sufficient. Generally, having an employee permanently working from a state is sufficient nexus to subject a company to state tax compliance as your company is then treated as being physical present in that state (through the employee). However, an independent contractor might avoid nexus concerns as an IC is usually legally and economically independent from his/its clients.

Your best bet is to talk to a NY-based lawyer (or at least, a lawyer licensed to practice in NY).
The question is rhetorical thusl the article doesn't need to answer it directly. I'm still curious of the answer. I think we can assume someone capable of robbing a casino like this would have considered all this ahead of time.
I'm thankful that we can still have this kind of reporting, at least.
You have 3 options to take a screenshot:
Whole screen: Command + Shift + 3
Selection of screen: Command + Shift + 4
Active window: Command + Shit + 4 and then Space Bar
WPA(2)-EAP ("WPA enterprise") has supported this for years. It also has other advantages, such as supporting multiple usernames, each with their own password. It also works on most existing client devices (iPhones, etc.) I use it at home; unfortunately, very few APs have a built-in authentication server for it, so you need to run FreeRADIUS on some always-on Linux/BSD device.
You have to keep in mind if you're making quality games you're doing it to earn money. In that context $99 isn't much - the art/audio/ip cost me $1000 on my last little Flash game!
Biolab http://playbiolab.com runs so smoothly on a mobile web browser it's worth $99 just to see how it's done.

Purchased a license immediately :)
For such a far-reaching scheme I was curious why it wasn't getting more coverage... Who is the well-informed and clear-minded (ahem) politician in question?
Are you sure it had no captions? Or do you simply mean that there were no english subtitles?

I've bought a couple of TV DVDs in the past (ER, I think) where there were no subtitles, but if I enabled the closed captioning feature on my TV, the captions were displayed.
One more release to avif!
>People die from over-doses because of mis-information and not knowing what they get (from the random guy on the street).

Certainly, 81,000 dead in the US during 2020 is a lot of misinformation and ignorance. Presumably these are mostly young lives each with family members having to live with the tragedy.

Not all who oppose legalization are from the 'unthinking masses'. Here's an argument from someone who's spent his working life as a psychiatrist working with prisoners and their drug habits. https://www.city-journal.org/html/don%E2%80%99t-legalize-dru...

"If the war against drugs is lost, then so are the wars against theft, speeding, incest, fraud, rape, murder, arson, and illegal parking."
What were you going to call it?

The competitor, was it DigitalOcean? (Or am I misunderstanding :-) )
Isn't this the exact thing Disney do for Disneyland? And Las Vegas? And Google, Apple etc for their HQs? And even large shopping malls and holiday resorts?

What NV is doing is a "company town" on a larger scale.

If you look up company towns, their level of corruption make the mafia look like saints.

People formed gov is no where perfect, but it's a fuckton better than company formed govs.
From what I've seen, this kind of work involves managing technical decisions about a project or
product while, to a lesser degree, managing the engineers driving that effort. There's some
aspects of mentorship; at some places, traditional management duties (hiring/firing/performance
management/budget) is also expected.
Why do I always sense anger seething below the surface of any conversation about sign language?
Respectfully, this feels like a bit of misdirection.

Government is literally an institution grounded in collective welfare (albeit imperfect instantiations of this goal). Google has NO SUCH directive, and the only reasons we don't see companies doing worse (at least not since East India Company times) is because the very container you criticize has enough power to keep it anchored to ostensibly human values.

We can just agree to disagree here, if you are truly deep in the anti-government camp (because I am pretty entrenched in the unfolding repair narratives of government, not disposal narratives)

EDIT: Reworded to use less provocative language. Sorry if you read v1
Even if it technically is, some apartment buildings, offices, restaurants, and stores in an existing industrial park is not a city in any meaningful sense. And throwing a dart at a map of Nevada and building a city for 100K people on the premise of "if you build it they will come" would almost certainly be a hilarious failure even if some billionaire felt his cash burning a hole in his pocket.
What about an SQLite database for configuration?

For most applications it would probably be overkill, but it seems useful for applications that need to change their own configuration (e.g. by the user through its GUI), or need its configuration changed by other tools.
I don't think anyone who writes production code is using Jupyter as a development env. It's more like a self-documenting, persistent repl, or perhaps an interactive doc.

I've used it as a way to document data exploration for later use and as an interactive teaching tool. For that, being able to plot inline and embed interactive widgets is great. Also, mixing in rendered markdown content.

If you're using Jupyter to write python software and the software is the end result and not the data analysis/process, I think you might be doing it wrong.

Not that I'm discounting data scientists (or the like) who use it as their primary environment. Their end result is not a packaged/deployed software and the code itself is just ancillary. For those users, the code and environment is a tool, and the extra weight of what a full IDE (like VSCode or PyCharm) and the features they bring to the table are unnecessary and likely counter-productive.
I would rate it more likely that this idea was the result of a brainstorm about ideas on how to monetize on (the feeling of) privacy.

A bit similar to the whole connected fridge idea.

A: "We need features to distinguish ourselves from our competition"

B: "Touch screens are definitely a thing these days. And I can use my laptop to order groceries"

And suddenly every fridge from the future had a touch screen without considering the core thing the fridge does. Freezing things.
I tend to disagree with this take. I think we've known for quite some time (at least since the Influenza epidemic of 1918) that masks can help prevent the spread of viruses of this sort.

At first in the US, the recommendation was to not wear a mask. The reasoning was that we weren't sure about whether airborne or surface-borne spread was more of a factor (remember the huge shortages of hand sanitizer), and we wanted to prevent a run on masks, so that we would have enough masks for health care workers.

This then gets into the reasons why we didn't have enough PPE on hand in our strategic reserve which is more of a political question.

So in the case of the US at least, I think we are aware of the proper strategies, but many people, from the top down, refuse to adopt and/or promote those strategies.

Looked it up and prices are comparable to America with far lower median income. I think the US situation is better for most people.
Seems like a great idea! Best of luck
> most GraphQL-based web services only accept POST requests (not also GET requests)

A GraphQL server should generally be able to accept GET queries according to the spec [1]. Are there any common implementations that don't follow this?

I'm not a Rust user.

I flagged it because it's poorly written flamebait that doesn't add anything to the comments on the GitHub thread.
> whatever coin is most profitable to mine won't be profitable enough to justify buying more GPUs

This is exactly where I'd like to see it all go.
Totally agree, I loved the story mode and never got into online due to the amount of time spent loading and finding interesting stuff to do.
A sub optimal way of producing thermal energy (at least in for the miners)?
It is not so, because humans have finite life span. So they MUST spend their coins within a fixed time frame of about 70 years.
Have you ever seen a wiring harness get replaced in a car? Manufacturers will try to do this before declaring a car totalled because of wiring defects.

It's an amazing thing to witness. The car is literally stripped down to the frame and then reassembled again.
We're talking about schools here, right? It's not a zero sum game like baseball.
This license is not capable of preventing any military or law enforcement organization from doing anything.
Some choice quotes

"Addicts will be attracted to Oregon from all over the world by the 2020 drug decriminalization law."
"Moving the border is the only way to push Oregon’s drug laws farther from the county in Idaho where you live. It would change the Boise-Oregon drive time from 51 minutes to over 5 hours."
"Idaho would have the satisfaction of freeing 1.2 million people from immoral blue-state law"

But perhaps most tellingly, "Moving the border allows each side of the state to get the kind of governance that is desired by the majority of local residents, which will reduce the amount of civil strife that the future holds."
Since it is imaginary, you have to imagine it.
It all depends on how things are run. On some sites the comments are written by people who are borderline illiterate. On others the comments are insightful.

I am somewhat hesitant to say it, but a good policy might be to charge people a small fee (like $5/yr) to post comments. Much of the trolling and illiterate nonsense would be would be filtered by such a system, at least from what I have seen in places like Metafilter or the WELL.

Edit: or we could do things mailing list / Usenet style and just have people run spam filters on their own. Of course, some NGs are overrun with noise that makes them almost unreadable. Also, most computer users are not sophisticated enough to actually set up a killfile or spam filter on their own.
You would still be in the secure area. The problem is that coming from an international flight you wouldn't necessarily be groped for explosives.

It's a good assumption that if they have explosives on a plane flying over the US, they are going to use it before they land.
When tearing down some of this technology, there's almost an undercurrent "how this works is a mystery today" -- but the humans that still worked on some of these micro-marvels are probably still alive. Have you had success in finding people that did work on these designs, for example in the case of the "universal controller (UC) architecture" which might merit an article all its own?
What is the strangest thing you’ve ever seen in a chip? (e.g. has anything ever hinted at either a lucky accident that relied on physical laws that weren’t understood or tech that seemed too advanced to
have been developed by the team that developed it?)

Also- the strange parts of the chip spell DDB, which may be relevant, as the V DDB is mentioned in one of the MAU design patents. Or DDB possibly could be the initials of the team or designers. It could have also served a practical purpose.
These are sensible suggestions. What do you mean by "synchronizing video rotation in video calls" and how do you note the presence / absence of this feature in practice?

Do you have any idea how we could practically make Signal a better app in the future?
I'm happy with macOS and the UI/UX on Windows and Linux still feels crap in comparison, not to mention the mandatory spyware on Microsoft's side of the fence.
Unfortunately you have the PR of Apple to deal with too.

I manage hundreds of Macs and the users are constantly howling about not being able to use Big Sur yet. I can explain there are still many dealbreaking bugs (the 11.2 upgrade space problem caused major headaches taking hours to fix in my testing!), it's slower and more screenspace wasteful but they keep wanting it because of Apple's snazzy PR. There's also a major issue with AD accounts getting completely blocked after the upgrade.

Of course what doesn't help is that new Macs come with Big Sur by default and can't really be downgraded. So we have to support it at least for new machines.
I’m sad/surprised that a project with almost 8K stars on GitHub is dead. Does anyone know why they decided to not build/maintain it anymore?
These are luxury items, where 95% of people will be using to play AAA video games at nice but but pretty extravagant 144hz 1440p/4K or as space heaters.

Its the very definition of a consumer
Better summary: A man (who has enjoyed his career for the challenges it brings regardless of the pay level) is frustrated that the majority of his current peers don't seem to share the same passion for the work that he has.
Processing credit card transactions is a hard enough problem that it rarely makes sense for any non-payments company to do it themselves. Dropbox and Airbnb use Braintree (a Stripe competitor) for payments, and they are both much bigger than Kickstarter. Even Twitter and Facebook have been known to use Stripe for various products, and they are obviously much bigger than Kickstarter as well.
I find myself thinking more about J2ME applications lately, but for a while I was also expecting that eventually PDAs would dominate the market. So same as you, I was more drawn to Windows Mobile, although I don't have any experience with it. Another option would be to go "web based", if prices for networking continue to fall (in Germany I think you can get a Flatrate for 25€ now - still too much for, say, an occasional gamer, but perhaps feasible for serious applications).

As for APIs, of course over time working with the devices one also builds a set of abstractions, so that it gets easier and easier to support multiple phones for future developments.
I've had good results from converting to Lab space and geospatial indexing the ab components.

My instincts say they were falling back/giving up their positions, you don't want to escalate with such a large mob, they would surge you and you'd end up dead.

Same with the cops posing for selfies with the protesters, IMO they had to pretend to be friendly because otherwise it'll turn the mob against them. And they (the cops) are outnumbered.
Noisy, unreadable code, obsessed with ownership, may give rise to whole new classes of errors that otherwise won't be there. Good that someone experimented with building a language around ownership, but for me it all demonstrates that the idea is not viable. I tried to read 10 tutorials already, each leaving me more confused than ever before.
Perhaps you've made up your mind, but that doesn't negate the reality that the existence of God has been debated for thousands of years.

It seems a little disingenuous to say that there is no definition of God. Google will even give you one if you search for: define God. Wikipedia holds that "In Classical theism, God is characterized as the metaphysically ultimate being (the first, timeless, absolutely simple, and sovereign being, who is devoid of any anthropomorphic qualities)..."

What kind of definition could possibly satisfy your requirements though? Can you give an example? If you're going to limit your thinking to so-called "scientific" or materialistic terms, then let's take an example definition from science. What was the definition of oxygen before it was discovered? How about dark matter?

In any case - it's not true that all major religions define God as unknowable and untestable. Take a look at the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna explains that God can be known through meditation.

Lastly, "rational" means nothing more than "based on or in accordance with reason or logic". It's completely reasonable and logical to debate revealed knowledge.
Analysts say lots of things.
It was documented as something that was desired, but not something that would go into Django core until the dust settled as to what the best approach was; it's not something to hurry into.

What's been implemented now is significantly better than what South had. If they'd just decided to adopt South, that wouldn't have happened. Thus, it's good that it happened. :-)
If healthcare is all paid for by the individual, what happens when people can't afford the treatments they need? That path seems equaly dystiopian to me.
Your common sense is wrong here. If you replace speed limits with "go a safe speed" then people don't go faster indefinitely, they'll find a speed that depends on road design. It doesn't escalate, and it's only notably faster than the speed limit when something has gone wrong with the road planning.
Are you able to measure the latency of processing one request when there is no load?

Just back of the envelope, if it takes 200,000 instructions to handle a request and we assume 6 cycles per instruction, then that’s about 25 requests per second.

HN is roughly 50K requests over 6 hours, so that’s roughly 2 requests per second on average. I would imagine it peaks to about 25. So in theory you should be able to handle the traffic.
So you’re comparing the maven ecosystem to that of the maddening dependency graph of node?! The place where the _maintainer_ of your dependency may or may not introduce a zero day just to make a political statement?

Or that of Python where the package managers _globally_ install dependencies and you need virtual environment shenanigans to not break everything???
Being foreign-born isn't the same as being on H1B. I am foreign born, majority of my team is foreign born. All of us are US citizens.

That "74%" you tout is useless as a number, unless you know exactly how many of them are on H1B and how many out of that subset are "depressing wages" (in which case, you should've used the number for that instead of the one for "foreign-born" employees).

I worked with quite a few H1B people before, and they were being paid pretty much the same as the rest of the teammates who were US citizens. And no, I dont think that all of us were underpaid at all. Unless you count close to $200k/yr for junior devs as being underpaid, in which case, I still am more than happy about being "underpaid" like that in the past at the start of my career.

Not discounting that abuse of H1B happens (just look at the likes of Tata and Infosys), but trying to claim that all H1Bs are like that or, even more ridiculous of a statement, that all of foreign-born employees are H1B holders is just disingenuous.
By quarantining all memory forever. This is not a scalable solution because keeping one allocation in a 4kB page alive will leak the whole rest of the page. And if you don't quarantine all memory forever then use after free comes back. If it were that easy to solve UAF then C++ would have solved it by now.

There is a scalable solution for UAF that doesn't involve introducing a lifetime/region system: garbage collection. Of course, that comes with its own set of tradeoffs.
>> people want to reinvent it.

Maybe with good reason: If it didn't take off last time maybe there are hidden stumbling block in the specification. Trying fresh might unconsciously bring the right ingredients this time. There is the faint possibility that specification and implementations were correct, just too far ahead of its time and infrastructure; it's usually worth taking this risk though. And of cause reinventing means owning and deeply understanding.
Once you're sure the operation doesn't need to happen serially I hope :)
Repeating a letter indicating an abbreviated word is an oldfashioned way of pluralising it.

For example, 'pp' to represent 'pages'.
I have the same experience. It feels like the download experience was only really made for the “I’m watching a series and want to keep watching it on the plane” use case, and not the “I downloaded 10 episodes of Micky Mouse for my 3yo on our last trip a year ago and now she wants to watch them again but I can’t cause…” use case.
Good joke, I lost it when he types toaster into cmd using the toaster lever for 'a'. Needed that good laugh.
I have the same machine as the author of this post and I have been wondering about installing Linux on it for quite some time. I was wondering: wouldn't it be simpler to use virtualization (no problems with the hardware, ease in sharing data between Linux/OS-X no need to partition the disk and so on)? What am I missing?
I think this is artistically fitting to the story:

The result was that the highest reading speed was at the longest line length they tried, 95 characters. They should have tried longer line lengths until the reading speed dropped again. All they can say now is that the maximum speed was achieved at a line length of 95 or greater.
Thanks, as far as I'm aware I don't have epilepsy but my brain definitely has some other odd wiring.. Will look into epilepsy more anyway :)
