You are working with a limited view of Bitcoin price history if you think there have only been two prior bubbles or peaks. There have been something like 6 Bitcoin 'bubbles' and busts since 2011. The very first major bubble is attributed to Senator Chuck Schumer in June 2011 advertising to the world that you could buy drugs with Bitcoin on silk road. That took the price from $1 to $32 before crashing.

Went to school for video/film production and time compression was the subject of a couple of fun projects. In TV and movies, you rarely see things in "real time" unless it's specifically done for an effect (like the gimmick of "24" or to create some level of tension).

Normally, you compress time to a greater or lesser degree because you just don't need to see every single action that someone takes in the course of a given hour or event. Like you point out in the Python clip, you wouldn't normally shoot the entirety of a guy running across a long field. You'd show him start running, cut to a closer shot with him making progress, cut to the person/place he's running toward for reaction or to re-establish the destination, and then cut back to the guy as he's getting there.

When you drag these kinds of things out, it can be a good gag because it's almost like a bad storyteller who includes every irrelevant detail. It makes us uncomfortable and throws off timing. In a more tense scene, time is often screwy because maybe you want to drag things out and show all of the characters' reactions to create anxiety and the feeling that "they'll never make it".

Anyway, thanks for the reminder about the Python bit. Always makes me smile :)

If women are socially punished for being abrasive or bossy, you could consider THAT to be a problem. I might consider it a basic human right to use curse words, get angry, and come off as abrasive, and in fact I truly do.

Somewhat relatedly, the supposition some people have that "women" need to be especially protected from teh scary curse words pisses me off. THAT is a gendered prejudice based on Victorian morality or something.

We don't need ClearTax for the usual 'less than 5 minutes' return filing. The Indian Govt's website is pretty simple and easy to use (except if you are using it on the last working days of return-filing). Not to say, the Govt's site team are working on improving it further by aggregating tax related data and reducing data entry even further.

The following is for a freelancer and entrepreneur-

The Govt's site is complex for entrepreneurs (self-employed people) or small companies. And so is ClearTax (because of the complex rules). For that ClearTax has a blog that is pretty helpful in understanding the system and places your trust on them. But when I dived into the details ClearTax makes things sound so simple and increases your procedures and you end up paying unnecessary tax. Luckily when I started I had evaluated ClearTax and also liked it - its when I get into the details (the fine print of tax-laws) that my trust eroded off ClearTax.

ClearTax is also costlier than consulting a local practising CA (1.5 - 2x). However finding a good CA (or CA firm) and getting comfortable with them is a challenge. And it is worth pursuing the challenge. Even if I had to start again, I would consult a local CA. Also a good CA can help you save money and/or taxes (in legal ways). Apart from that I have heard that ClearTax has operational problems (like they miss out on filing returns when they are overloaded) - This last part is just from references and ClearTax might have solved it.

Note that the tax-laws for businesses in India are way complex and it is hard to understand those. Add to that the changes that occur every few years and the multiple tax authorities. The country rightly deserves the "difficult to do biz" tag. Many CAs err (or are just unsure) and you end up paying more tax than what was actually required. I would place ClearTax in that category.
Most people on this planet can deal with opinions just fine. Case in point: the recipient of Linus' message.

That's just a convenient excuse. I would guess they were losing too much money in cloud storage so they had to dramatically scale back. Typical Microsoft in that they overpromised and underdelivered.

No, that's not what Linus is saying. It's close to the opposite of what he's saying (overflow_usub wraps a builtin). You obviously can't simply use the builtin addition and subtraction of unsigned integers in safe code, because in modern C, integers wrap.

Returning to the thread: why are you so comfortable extrapolating from Linus's rant to "this code would ruin the Linux kernel"? You don't grok the code he's talking about.

Is it because "if Linus is arguing against this code with this much ferocity, the code must be really bad?" Because if that's it, you're starting to see the issue some people have with the tone he uses.

Do you know of a magical source of money from which we can fund the rights you seem to think are being denied?

Snark aside, I think we have an extremely big problem on our hands, in a sense this big bucket of money does exist, it is in the bank accounts of the 1%. Now who that money "belongs" to is kind of a fun but futile philosophical argument, the fact of the matter is a LOT of people are going to be reaching retirement age without the funds necessary to sustain an even remotely pleasant lifestyle, with (in my opinion) very little correlation to each individual's contribution to society throughout their lifetime.

It just means that the source code to the forks or derivative works has to be made available to users to whom the software is distributed...e.g. if the code is put into iOS app. If it runs on a web server, then only Affero GPL requires the source to be made available.

Nice! But the initial drops are too similar to a perfect oval. You can try to make some randomness to the initial shape to make it more realistic. (It's much easier to say this than to make a simple model that looks good.)
All employees receive that same contribution makes you upset? My company contributes the same to everyone (0%). I don't have a pension either. Please get up in arms for me. Stupid startups and their fiscally responsible benefits!

The company was doing badly. No new pensions. The company stays alive under new ownership, after cutting fat. This is probably bad business but the good business math would have been to let them fold. Take your pick.
Preparing all the documents, receipts, the various numbers before filing the tax takes a long time, I can not imagine how you can do tax in 5 minutes even you have all the data ready, but anyway it's good news if we have one here at US.

No they're not. They're a great idea.

If idiots are left in charge of them, then yes, they're a bad idea. But that sort of applies to everything.

I, for one, will deal with some idiocy to guarantee a safe and secure retirement. I have neither the time, energy, nor expertise to actively manage my retirement funds. So that's my trade-off.

Calling a 401(k) a replacement for pensions is disingenuous. They're ridiculously cheaper for employers and provide a much, much less valuable return for employees. Regardless of who is in charge, the switch has nothing to do with the people managing them and only to do with saving the company money.

I never know if responses like yours are the political party-line machined outrage response or what you truly believe. If you're just spouting some party line, then happily ignore the following and get back to sleep - outrage successful.

But your last sentence makes me think you actually believe, so I'm going to burn some time on you and perhaps get past the emotion here.

Like you said, just tax everyone more! A 100% tax on earnings is reasonable in some cases; Norway does it, just tax like madmen until the debt is paid.

Well, you could do that, you could even seize everyone's property to pay down the debt, (and I don't see why that isn't a reasonable proposal either.)

The problem with that plan is, even if you did those things, the growth in social security and Medicare is too fast for even asset seizure to catch. All these trust funds "running out of money" you hear about are simply the growth of those programs outstripping the IOU's owed AND the amount congress allocates extra for additional growth. You'll get to a point where the growth spirals as lives are extended, etc

Debt is the place that you can start to install some controls. That is why our media and congress always describe it as a "showdown" or "battle". The battle is quite lopsided because the vast majority of politicians in all parties don't want to touch this and hate any boat rocking, and there's a lot of lobbyists to pay back.

Can you honestly tell me what the spending priorities are for congress? There are none! Everything is important, and all budgets for every department may only grow based on their rules for baseline budgeting in the face of increasing divides between parties and people in government - in other words, the stalemate we've seen over the past 18 years results in budgets each year that are simply last year's budget + 5% with occasional huge jumps in new spending whenever a crisis arises and everyone temporarily agrees to authorize new spending.

As I said, debt is the place to begin the place to begin debate about our spending priorities. Why? Because any new debt must be _authorized_, hence voted on. It's annoying to confront tough issues! Hence all the acrimony.

Okay, so just look at your life, your security. You think the system we have here is stable? Its so fragile and full of corruption, look at what happened in 07-08 with the fraudulent loan scams the big banks were running. And congress is the flashpoint for these crises every time. So, I'm agreeing with you that there is potential for damage if we try to rein in the spending and get some priorities.

What's the alternative that you are suggesting? Don't deal with it, let the instabilities grow, and eventually have an unmanaged collapse. Do you disagree?

I really don't like abuse in technical discussions, but this blog post is so poorly argued that I find myself siding 100% with Linus.

The issue Linus is addressing is not merely the merits of those two lines of code, but of the culture and thinking that led to in being included.

Here is the key message that has been completely omitted by the rewritten polite version: In fact, I want to make it clear to everybody* that code like this is completely unacceptable. Anybody who thinks that code like this is "safe" and "secure" because it uses fancy overflow detection functions is so far out to lunch that it's not even funny.*

Linus doesn't just want those two lines fixed. He wants to make clear to every developer who thinks that this was good code, that this is in fact bad code. He wants to set an example for those who might have been unsure about speaking up and show that it is okay to strongly attack bad practices. He makes a point about "masturbation", which specifically means writing code that is satisfying and clever, but doesn't accomplish anything.

There probably is a less coarse and more sensitive way to accomplish this, but this blog post has completely missed the point of the argument Linus is making.
He hasn't bought it yet.
