if it is actually the case that they have had no revenue and no costs, then filing a 990 is dead simple.

If they had no revenue are they even required to file at all? I know that for personal income if you do not owe any additional tax than has already been collected then there is no requirement to file.

Since they didn't get 501c3 status until 2012, the 990 doesn't seem appropriate except for this most recent year anyway.
Yup, experience taught me that in 1/8th of that amount if time.

Well, just deleted Luma.

What a sad thing. Last thing I want is to route my vids through FB...
I hope twitter does the same.
I don't think we want facebook making these decisions for themselves, but without adequate regulatory guidelines, they are in a no win situation.
From your list I've extensively used Telegram and Whatsapp. I love the former and hate the latter. I'm going to tell you why.

I used telegram seriously, to connect to my team members, connect to friends in groups and message friends privately, before our government blocked it and people migrated to whatsapp.

Usability:

1-Whatsapp is only available on one phone (I know it's because of e2e encryption, but we'll get to that later) and only android/ios. Anything else needs to use web and connect to the main device, which limits the experience, if you use it heavily.

2-Whatsapp does not have edit, the web version cannot set ctrl-enter to send, any mistaken enter will send an incomplete message that cannot be edited.

3-You lose all your chats when you change your phone. Backup is still a solution, but not if you want to migrate from iphone to android (something I did) and do not trust an app that has 100 install to migrate your data.

4-You cannot use multiple phone numbers by one whatsapp on one phone.

5-If you add a person to a group, they cannot see past messages. (I know, another side-effect of e2e)

6-It has many minor bugs with bluetooth headsets. If you press the answer, it just disconnects from the headset, you should answer on phone screen.

7-Lacks many useful features for organization, like chat folders (I know, this is also recent in Telegram)

On the other hand, telegram is heavily customizable, has clients for all major platforms, can connect to many accounts at once, your data is not tied to your device.

About E2e encryption:

I don't mind that telegram does not have e2e. My private messages are not worth the effort for a large organization or government. As a citizen of a country where the government actively and strongly suppresses freedom of speech, e2e in groups is not useful. Any breached device or one informer in any group is enough for all messages to be breached. This is only needed in case the government does not have access to the (apparently infinite) list of security problems by whatsapp, which apparently they do (why they block Telegram and not whatsapp?)

In usability, I can go on and on with increasingly detailed differences between whatsapp and Telegram and everywhere Telegram wins hands down, except that by default, chats do not have e2e encryption and groups cannot have e2e at all.
That would be a terrible summary given the fact it doesn't actually say that.
Should I be waiting for the usual press communiqué "We were the target of a very complex Cyberattack" from Nissan?
> A military’s job shouldn’t include security of the legislative head?

Yes, our military does not do that. That is the job of law enforcement. Look up the Posse Comitatus Act.

There's a lot to be said about the evils of the military industrial complex, but you're making that point in the worst possible way. Complaining that your tax dollars are being wasted because the military is too lazy to perform duties that they are explicitly not allowed to perform for very good reasons does not bring anything to light.

> An actual alternative narrative is that the executive branch willfully did not defend the capital.

It isn't a matter of narrative, it is a simple fact that the executive branch chose not to authorize an exception to Posse Comitatus in this case, which is what the National Guard does and requires specific authorization each and every time. Without that authorization, the military has no more authority in D.C. than the NYPD does. It's quite simply outside of their jurisdiction.
SMS is sent by interfacing with your phone’s modem which is connected to the mobile phone network. How would a desktop app be able to do that, except for that tiny minority of users who have a computer that can take a SIM card directly for connectivity?
Maybe they should F start banning conspiracy theorists!!!
When did I say I was providing a source for not being able to redeem tether? I'm just linking to information that I found useful when forming an opinion on the matter.
Yes, watt hours or joules would work there but not watts. In general the figures all seem to assume 30 watts of power consumption at near-idle, which is completely ridiculous unless you happen to be using either a high end workstation or an antique.

The first page states an estimate of 50g of CO2 per visit, but I'm pretty sure reality is nowhere near that. At ~1000lbs CO2 per MWh for home electricity in the US (https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gases-equivalencies-ca...), that's ~0.45g per Wh. My laptop only has a ~40 Wh battery, so I can't even be using anywhere near that - and that's already two orders of magnitude smaller.

Accessing from a phone it would be even less significant - for example, this S7 replacement battery only holds 12.7 Wh (https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Battery-Replacement-Samsung-Co...).

Scrolling down the project page about half way, it's displaying 0.15 kcal for me. That's ~0.17 Wh, which would equate to only being able to do that ~235 times on a single charge for my laptop. That's very obviously nowhere near reality.
Comments like this help the scammers.
Sometimes this is a very accurate estimate.

From his past posts on the topic, Jeff really doesn't know crypto (which he has freely admitted).
I'm not sure what advice to give you. You commonly see advice to outsource your security, to other libraries, the idea being these are more likely to be correct than you. However, there have been some pretty high profile mistakes in common crypto libraries too! If there's anything specific you have in mind, I'd be happy to field questions (and hopefully other HN users will correct me in the event I'm wrong!)
I can't tell if you're trolling or not, but I believe the suggestion of having kids wasn't intended to be taken seriously.
> There were a few people cheating before on UltimateBet and AbsolutePoker. Thanks to the aforementioned community reconciling various players' hand databases (each hand can be logged), they were caught and both of those sites lost a ton of business.

I also replied to your post below but just to clarify this for everyone: despite he effort from hese communities, those involved in he cheating were never caught. In fact. those named by the DoJ as the heads of Absolute Poker are heavily implicated and the company line has been that ownership had changed hands; this is clearly not the case.

And despite significant pressure, large amounts of money has not been returned to players. And despite Absolute/UB temporarily seeing great loss of traffic, they regained and were up to last night the 3rd largest American-facing network or site.
Dell went 16:10 this year.
I think it's a mix of:

1) being too late in the game, at this stage.

2) unable to rebrand themselves as a trustworthy service for enterprises. They're stuck with the "social" and "fun" label.
I've heard this in a variety of meditation & martial arts communities. I think it's is more of a straw man that various groups use to build up the importance of their own methods.
Then why is Google? They have the same business model and disregard for privacy.
Garfield, and M:tG in general, has been a huge inspiration for me over the years. Magic is such a creative system of constraints, story, card complexity, competitive ecosystems, strategy and metagaming. It also allows a really personal approach to deckbuilding, play style and fun in general. Not to mention the financial aspect of the secondary market, which is an entire field in and of itself... A lot of the lessons learned from studying the game's strategy have helped me cultivate new mental models in my approach to problem solving.

At one point I even took a career break and designed a game, like Garfield says, that I wanted to play that couldn't find. The game is called Sin Rummy - a variant on Rummy based on Gandhi's seven social sins. It was tough to develop, design and produce but I was able to use a lot of intuition from playing Magic all those years to balance it. My starting design constraints: a complex game with tons of replayability that would be easy to pick up and learn, all printed within a single deck of cards. I was super happy with the end result (even if the Kickstarter didn't go nuclear as I had hoped) and still play it all the time. If anyone wants a copy, send me your address (email is on the site in my profile) and I'll mail it to you.
I remembered reading this article some time ago. Not sure what came of it.

I miss having clear separation between the time/space for work and time/space for leisure. I do keep the same hours but even my commute (provided that it isn't horrible) has the value of telling my brain "work starts now" in the morning and then "work ends now" at the end of the day.

Neither. It’s called that because it’s using a dialect/DSL of bash.

It’s a general unit test tool, but working in bash orients Bats towards testing of scripted/automated infrastructure. I’ve used it for tests of Chef/Puppet configuration and found Bats a good fit. Seems odd to find it used as the test framework for a data management tool but clearly it floats their boat.

That works both ways though. The 6x places might move to, say, 4x over time, but the 1x and 2x places will salary upwards to compete.

As someone who works in the Midwest USA, I don't see anything but upside for people like myself.
I think it's because the human mind tends to jump over things which don't seem important, as a performance optimization. But its idea of what's not important is not well-tuned to many contexts. I think a lot of "secret tricks" are just ways of trying to bypass that heuristic and force yourself to do all the steps. E.g. rubber-duck debugging: putting the situation into words means putting it into concrete terms, which catches the parts that your brain let sit unexamined.

> A true shift to remote work, should it happen, spells the eventual end of insanely high SF FANMAG salaries

On what grounds? People said the same thing about outsourcing. It didn't really change anything. Engineer salary has already been bimodal for quite some time. Trying to recruit for the upper tier hasn't gotten any easier.
For clarification: You're saying that because your wife got mugged you felt that Seattle was "less orderly" (I'm assuming this means "higher crime") than Baltimore (which has one of the highest crime rates in the country)?

I get that personal connections can be a thing (my sister hated Paris because some creep spit on her after she didn't want to flirt with him) but you realize that statistically that data doesn't support your statement right?
Such a melodramatic way of describing it. It's like going out to get a haircut and telling people, "I'm destroying my head!" because you feel so attached to the hairdo.

A better way to put it would be: They want to look behind the black hole's even horizon. They they that if they spin a black hole fast enough, its event horizon will contract and eventually disappear, revealing the singularity (whatever that means in real-world terms). Nothing is actually being destroyed — they're just changing the way the singularity's gravity behaves.
Ouch, why all the massive downvotes to everyone responding here? It's a real problem, and several local founders, VCs, and even the local incubator are all trying to come up with new ways of fostering entrepreneurship around these parts. Pittsburgh is undergoing a bit of a tech renaissance, or at least we'd like to think we are. That's hard to pull of without great developers.
You're expecting people to behave rationally. I expect them to work 50 hours a week and buy an Aston.
I haven't seen a Nokia phone that has the kind of intuitive, well-organized, attractive, and responsive UI that we see with the iPhone and Android phones. I have some friends who have expensive Nokia phones and like to brag about their capabilities, but when you actually see these phones in use, they just aren't as enjoyable to use due to the OS which seems unrefined (I'd go so far as to say it seems unfinished).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJpEuMidcSU is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. If you were to make a list with checkboxes, it would seem that the N97 is as good as an iPhone. But if you actually use it...

I don't think it's a U.S. vs Europe thing; it's just that Nokia had a headstart in Europe. I would bet that they're losing market share here in Europe as well. At least in France, it seems that everyone has an iPhone these days.

That having been said, I do think Nokia makes excellent hardware, particularly the actual phone functionality (voice quality, not dropping calls, etc). If they could just bring their OS up to par, they would see some attention and success in the US.
That's just what they want you to believe. They being Corporate America who profit enormously when you eat their processed foods, smoke their cigarettes, and take their drugs. Cancer is mainly caused by environmental toxins, so if you don't want to get cancer you have to detox: eat only raw paleo or vegan, cleanse with lemon juice or unsweetened tea four times a week, and for God's sakes man, DON'T BREATHE THE AIR!!!
I'm not super familiar with the ID story (I haven't read the book), but that seems awfully simplistic. Certainly many companies have been short-sighted and missed opportunities (your second example is one of the most obvious ones, although HP may have just screwed that up), but a game company not wanting to use newer technology for games doesn't jive with my understanding of the game industry at any point (and I've been programming since the early 80's.)

That said, you might be right, it just seems weird.
Similarly, PhysicsJS employs a "scratchpad" of pre-initialized vectors for fast intermediate computations. That way you aren't constructing new objects, but grabbing a free one, zeroing it, and using it as you would before. Seems quite performant.

I would like to design my next side-project to be decentralised and federated, giving people the option to run it on their own hardware. It's a small step in the right direction, I think, and it makes me feel slightly happier about the direction we are heading in. (With the frog definitely in the pot, but not boiling yet.)

No comment on the FOIA angle. In general if I were a lawmaker I would be very shook right now. The people who are supposed to protect me are either incompetent or untrustworthy. Hindsight is 20/20 now but with more organization today could have been a major attack. My guess is that we'll see a purge followed by an increased militarization / professionalization of the force that protects lawmakers. The Secret Service is well known, yet I haven't heard of the Capitol Police until this incident.

Edit: Or maybe it'll be a wakeup call for lawmakers to investigate whether they actually have the allegiance of the various law enforcement agencies that were present or absent today.

At an even more general level one key institution (the presidency) has just passively (actively?) supported a major bodily threat to the most powerful people of another key institution (the lawmakers) so I imagine we'll see the full force of America's checks and balances in play now.

So it's degrees of comfortable. Do I need to guess who gets to decide what's considered kosher in this regard?

This is why we have hard rules about 1A. Being able to define what's acceptable free speech just means the majority bullies the minority. Imagine a world where that's the case. Do you think MLK or any other civil rights leaders would've had a chance in hell of not being muzzle by the mainstream opinion of the day?

1A protected them, and when they were incorrectly arrested or muzzled, there were legions of lawyers ready to remind the government in court what the law says.
You also can't just demand people who have been using naming conventions for twenty plus years to write off that history just because Microsoft decided to use something different.

I found Jason Fried's analogy in "Rework" useful. Paraphrasing: "Going to work" is like going to sleep. If someone keeps interrupting you every few minutes, you're never going to fall asleep. It takes uninterrupted time to get there.

I've tried to use this analogy with my wife. Still working on it.
How is this a bombshell? They have already announced some of their new GPUs are going to be manufactured externally and due for release this year.
I've said it before on this website (about a multitude of political and cultural topics) and I'll say it again: immediately arriving at maximalist conclusions is rarely beneficial or even truthy. Let the investigations play out and the dust settle before you go making wide statements about a force of ~2,000 people who were most likely devastated at the symbology of this event and the fact that one of their colleagues is dead.
A great idea! While we're at it, let's have a game show where condemned prisoners battle celebrity bounty hunters on live television!

I have the same question. Some animals just keep distance. From my observations:

East London, 10 days ago (full moon), 3am (safe time to ventilate a bit?) a fox (common here) had run behind my window and I closed it instantly, from far away he was howling (coughing?) piteously _as he ran_ as I never heard before. I'm not sure if I heard him a bit last night again and if could he be fine?

I stop hearing activity of one squirrel squatting my attic - the last of him, I believe, he had troubles breathing and was snotty when moving slowly to one corner..
Why would anyone expect Apple to distribute an app that allows insurrectionists (read: domestic terrorists) to organize?

Apple is not the government and has no obligation to support enemies of the state.

To downvoters: Parler was literally founded by one of the insurrectionists (Dan Bongino). He also helped found Rumble, a YouTube "alternative".

Also, Apple already banned Gab, which has basically the same audience/purpose as Parler.
I think the reality is that we could have prevented it. We just chose not to murder half the crowd. Preventing it without using lethal force requires a much larger force than you want to keep on hand.
Prime, Prime Now, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods delivery, Prime Pantry...yeah they need some consolidation.
I've heard that some people do indeed have better bacterial biomes than others, some will be fine without brushing or flossing, and others will have problems. Saliva has a large part to play in preventing caries and bad breath, dry mouth can cause a lot of the issues you describe. Also, water fluoridation has made quite a big impact in public dental health. Remember that most people used to lose teeth regularly before the advent of fluoride toothpaste, often very early in their lives. Do you think that these people's teeth were maintaining themselves? Looking at old WW2 videos made me realize this, where many soldiers in their 20s had completely black teeth or massive gaps.

Tons of sites do variable pricing, especially in the travel sector. Typically discriminating by device, OS etc.

It's an RPC plugin but doing it out-of-process is weird (I need an RPC client to talk to my RPC client?). If you don't need a trust boundary or separate ulimits, loopback network traffic and context switches and reserialization are a really expensive way to mitigate a language having poor FFI plugin support.

If it were in-kernel and supported scatter-gather and zero-copy, that might be different (though some people even avoid going through the kernel).
What's Google? Use DuckDuckGo instead.
