To answer your question, everyone interested in paying much lower salaries to their workforce may decide to locate a factory in Romania. Market size, cost of operation, infrastructure, neighboring markets, and many more factors play an important role in such decisions.

Taxes are far from being the most meaningful factor, and governments dumb enough to offer such deals are acting disgracefully towards both their tax-paying citizenry and their EU partners who don't engage in this race to the bottom.
This is a common misconception by non financial people (no offense). You have to look at this from a finance and risk perspective.

1. Cash lying around in your bank account is usually a poor use of working capital (you are effectively "losing" money by it sitting in the form of cash)

2. Investing in "innovation" is always risky. Look at how many internal Google apps get scrapped a year or two into launch. They effectively write those off and it's a direct loss to Google's bottom line.

3. "Innovator's Dilemma" - big companies realize they are not the best suited to invest in innovation, hence why startups and buying them are actually a net positive for large businesses.

I hope, for the sake of American democracy, that this just isn't true.
Ayn Rand put it well in Atlas Shrugged (echoing things I've read from others who escaped the Soviet Union, e.g. many crimes will only be recorded, to later be used for blackmail):

"Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against - then you'll know that this is not the age of beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one 'makes' them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted-and you create a nation of law-breakers and then you cash in on the guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

I would say that fees would be more fair, yes -- I don't see why the amount a company pays for using public resources should vary with its profitability: even if they don't make any money, or shift profits to a subsidiary abroad, the resources are being used anyway.
On Windows 10, I use babun along with a Vagrant VM for terminal-based development.

babun is a Cygwin distribution that's actually configured nicely out of the box with oh-my-zsh, etc. It comes with a very pretty terminal, a package manager, and more. That said, it's still Cygwin, which means I try to avoid doing complex, heavy-duty development in it.

For that, I just spin up a Vagrant VM. It's insanely easy.
Well done. This one reminds me http://helloracer.com/webgl/.

Some of the ongoing information generated by the Brain Preservation Foundation's technology prize competition is also interesting.

http://www.brainpreservation.org/competitors/

The perspective of the BPF folk is perhaps a useful calibration point for those coming into this as a new topic; they are critical of cryonics for some detailed technical reasons, with plenty of room for debate, think that plastination should be developed as an alternative technology, but are firm supporters of the concepts of brain preservation and the evidence to date for fine structure preservation. For example, see this response to an earlier and very shoddy article critiquing cryonics at the Technology Review:

Just throwing this out there with no idea of the reality of it, but maybe it is a good thing to have some downward pressure on tax rates from large multinationals because without that it could end up just being a 'race to the top' with countries continually ratcheting up rates unchecked.
It's claims data, probably with the primary PII stripped. If they're HIPAA compliant, is there really an issue?
It only really matters in the eyes of potential future employers, so consider how it looks to them. Having done interviews and resume screening myself, I wouldn't balk too hard at one quick departure, but I would want to hear a good explanation for why you left so soon. The job and/or company being very clearly something different from what you were told would be a good one.

Multiple quick departures in a row are kind of a red flag for somebody looking to hire a full-time employee, as opposed to a consultant of some kind.
Ok. You're right. I fucked up big.

I skipped an order of magnitude here. Your calculation seems correct, so we're up to about a mamogram / day (still ignoring the distance and shielding effects of the building, but we're computing the reasonable upper bound on exposure).

Over the year this 0.4 mSv adds up to about 146 mSv. Per the Handy Chart, it's between EPA dose limits for emergency workers protecting valuable property and for those in lifesaving operations. It's about 1.5 times the "lowest dose clearly linked to increased cancer risk".

So in the worst reasonable case, this seems to be indeed causing an unnecessary increase of cancer risk. Personally I think the conditions for that upper bound are very extreme so the real dose in actual use would not be nowhere near the amount calculated above, but at this point I have to agree there's a reason to be concerned and demand more information about the deployment and capabilities (especially radiation output in failure modes) of those machines.

In short: most likely still not in any way dangerous, but the revised margins are much slimmer, therefore there is a reason for concern.

I apologize for misleading anyone by accidentally skipping a zero.
Blockchain to Help in Authenticating Academic Certificates
Teespring (YC W13) Is Looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer
What does our team do?
Everything from a compelling experience for buyers, to a feature-rich platform for sellers, to a backend manufacturing pipeline to fulfil orders. At Teespring, “full stack” means anything from warehouse management systems to our 3rd party API to the number crunching analytics behind our campaign dashboards. It’s up to you to pick the challenge which excites you the most!

What is the job?
We take code quality and engineering efficiency seriously. Engineers pair about 50% of the time, and we have a robust but lightweight code review process to disseminate knowledge. Nothing goes to production without automated testing. We do 2-week sprints, with engineers' input a key part of the planning process. Your expert input will also be considered when planning new feature work: both in terms of implementation decisions, and product experience.

Who is the ideal candidate?
A passionate programmer with a leaning towards full-stack development. Substantial front ends skills are a definite boon, since many features have some user interface component. Deep, professional experience with Rails will be especially useful. A person with strong opinions, weakly-held.

If you are successful in this role, a year from now:
Your team-mates will look to you for technical advice, guidance, and mentorship. You will have architected and led the creation of a significant piece of the team’s technology. Our collaborative environment and generous training budget will have substantially enriched your technical abilities. You will be speaking as an expert in your field at conferences and meetups.

Our Environment:
Modern Rails Stack, React.js, TDD/BDD with RSpec/Cucumber, Golang. A big push towards CD and SOA at the moment.

What do we offer?
Happiness is just as important to us as hard work. All startups in San Francisco offer the same perks, but what makes us different is our desire to completely change how the world thinks about custom e-commerce. That being said, here are the benefits you will receive: working with talented, collaborative, and entrepreneurial teams. Medical, dental and vision insurance for you, your family, and pet. Unlimited paid time off and 9 paid holidays. Generous stock options. Free (delicious) catered lunch and dinner daily. Fully stocked kitchen with drinks, snacks, and bar. Training, career development, and meet-up hosting. Fun SOMA office offering easy access to Muni, Bart, and Caltrain with commuter benefits. Social activities, office happy hours, concerts, game room, and endless free t-shirts!

Please email your resume to ashley.hearn@teespring.com to learn more

I thought yes, but the price points are so astronomically different I'm not sure. We're talking $1399 for 512gb/16gb for the Y900 while the Surface Book is, I think $2199 or so. Also the Book has a discrete GPU which isn't an option on the Y900.

Yeah, I freeze and thaw cells constantly without much trouble--just plop those suckers in a solution of 10% DMSO and a serum-containing isotonic liquid then throw into the freeze-assist device, then put that into the -80C freezer and transfer it to the liquid nitrogen freezer the next morning. Everyone does it this way, and has for years. I've always wondered if the freezing and thawing process subtly changes cell functioning (beyond the time given to cells to rest after being thawed), but I'm guessing if it were the case someone would have noticed it by now.

The bugger that haunts human cryonics is that thawing is never perfect because the cryoprotectants used to prevent ice-crystals within the cells are usually toxic. If you freeze cells that are measured to be 100% viable/alive at the time (very common) then thaw them using best practices, you're going to have some cell death-- maybe 1-5% if you're fast (less time spent in toxic cryoprotectant) and lucky. If you're unlucky or slow, you can look at 25-45% of your originally healthy cells being dead upon completion of the thawing process. The remaining cells are usually extremely discombobulated, and can take days to return to their baseline. This is completely fine if you're tooling around in a research lab or industrial lab, but even a 1% loss is probably too much for a human brain to bear and remain the same as before.

I suppose that if you work under the assumption that the future technology cryonics relies on for thawing will exist, cell loss during thaw will not be a problem; I find this possibility to be fairly likely over a long time span. Alternatively, you could assume that there will be advanced ways of restoring brain function or generating fresh neurons after systemic damage-- quite a stretch if you ask me, but it's conceivable. I think that ultimately the goals of cryonics will be scientifically realizable for those who were most recently preserved.
> I'm well aware that Skype did not change for the better after MS took over

While I'm acutely aware of the negative impact various changes had on privacy, cf the leaked documents referencing it, however I'm not sure that statement is blanketly true.

I can now have Skype running on my phone where previously it used to drain the battery in a few hours flat. That is, personally, a huge improvement.

Another thing I've noticed is I get both better video quality (when I use video, I prefer audio only) and I get less disconnects due to "network" reasons.

And by "web design" you mean "professional web design."

Yes, that's what happens when an industry matures. It collects standards and build environments and best practices and specs. Frameworks and bootstrap templates to reduce turnaround time, which tend to coalesce design patterns into a recognizable, interrelatable set of idioms. It's no longer acceptable for companies to have their web presence look like it was designed by a thirteen year old skiddie. Sites have similar layouts because businesses understand what layouts work, and that confused and frustrated users don't come back a second time.

The web has just gotten old and mainstream. It's alright, it happens to everyone. Can't be hip and crazy forever, grandpa.
I would say it depends on your personal goals. If you're doing this as you say to open source wiring and not the application then there's your answer. If you'd like to see it develop more than you have time for theb maybe open source would be a better option or talk to some friends that find it interesting and build it together white keeping it closed. So weigh your options and what you'd like to see happen to it and go from there.

The US does tax that kind of income (generally). Look up "withholding tax". It's something like 15% or 20%. As a Canadian I have to be aware of this when investing in US-domiciled stocks. (But in the end tax-treaties means that investments held in special accounts like RRSPs get around the withholding tax. Not sure if Germany has such a treaty though.)
The problem with that is that changes in market cap don't directly translate to taxable income -- and when they do, they do already get taxed through capital gains.
Well the bigger problem is if there becomes multiple container formats and everyone doesn't adopt the same one. Hopefully when everyone talks about "containers" in the future they are referring to OCI compatible ones.

I don't think companies should want to lock you in with container formats. The ones that do should die. They should lock you in with services. IBM should lock you into its cloud by making you depend on Watson API, for instance.
Never thought the web ads market is big enough for both Google and Yahoo.
I agree with everything here except that I find the Windows 10 UI to actually be quite nice and fairly consistent.

Cortana works better than Spotlight on OS X, and it doesn't cover up the middle of the screen to boot. I can actually do arithmetic with it without covering up the article with the numbers in it.

The Windows 10 virtual desktops are basically a copy of Mission Control, except a bit nicer. Windows doesn't hide your desktop thumbnails by default the way that El Capitan perplexingly does.

The window snapping feature in Windows 10 is vastly better than anything built into OS X by default. The split fullscreen view in El Capitan is a joke and extraordinarily clunky compared to just being able to snap windows to any half or quarter of the screen in Windows 10.

The more I read articles like this, the more I realize that the war on drugs parallels the new war on guns. The outcomes will also be similar: when you restrict or outlaw something that people really want, they will just go to the black market.

3D printers are getting cheaper and cheaper and you can actually make a real gun from it. While these guns aren't that desirable or accurate, it's only a matter of time before they are. So what then? Are we going to ban 3D printers or make a person get a license??

The article is about LGBT adoptions for romantic purposes, as a legal replacement to unavailable legal unions. Japanese "son-in-law adoption" (mukoyōshi) is a question of business capability and name (brand) preservation, not a way to bypass a lack of legal protection in a romantic pairing.

Ask HN: Success with “tip of the day” in engaging users?
My company's ed tech product has an array of powerful functionality that is chronically underutilized. I work in implementation support, and IMHO our documentation and training are extensive and user-friendly. However, I am interested in product tweaks that could help engage users (who underutilize core functionality then fail to obtain desired results) in getting more out of the product.

Specifically, have you had or do you know of experiences implementing a "tip of the day" pop-up or display? I have always thought this was a powerful part of videogames, such as teaching a spin move in Madden.
Hacking Head Tags for Speed and Profit (2015)
Still, with the caveat that I'm a total sucker for this stuff, if only from a technical or "gee whiz" angle, I think once you get something that functions properly, hardware and processes can improve pretty rapidly to address ergonomics.

I know the mobile tech analogy is overdone but when you compare an early laptop to the laptops, tablets, and smartphones of today you see a steady increase in capability in increasingly smaller and lighter form factors.

I understand that something you wear is even more sensitive to this than something you carry and there are issues of physics that aren't as relevant when you're still just looking at a flat illuminated display. Still, the power you could pack into something the size of a deck of cards or a thumb drive 10-15 years ago was peanuts compared to what you can buy for $50 or $500 today.

Sure, you could design and build a computer with the power of a Nexus 5 back in 1995 or 2000. It just had to be in a big box on your desk and cost a grand or two instead of $400. Even these early Hololens or Magic Leap or Oculus demos make me smile because those goggles and things strapped to your face could very well become a lot more powerful and slimmed down in 10-15 years.

Honestly I think power and heat will remain the biggest issues with this stuff. Even if you managed to build a device into a form factor that looked like a pair of Ray Bans, where would the battery fit and how hot would it get (especially as they attempt to make the devices more self-contained and less like standard peripherals for more powerful computing devices)?
I'm not too keen on Silver's analysis/conclusion that drug offenses account for such a low fraction of inmates' crimes. Drug possession renders a lot of otherwise non criminal behavior into a "violent felony", and prosecutors love tacking these extra charges on when they can.
