Oh sure nobody knows how it will turn out in detail. But it's important to keep in mind what the EU Commission as the decisive actor wants. If companies would be compensated for the retraction of illegal tax subsidies - for example, by only having to pay the legal tax rate of the alternative country they would have chosen - there would be no incentive to avoid these tax deals: Either a) the subsidy is legal under EU law or b) the company gets compensated and receives the best legal tax rate they could have gotten anyway.

But it's just my estimation, I could easily be wrong though. And I'm happy with any outcome, because all lead to lots of billable hours :)

Thanks for sharing! Have you studied aspect-oriented programming formally?

I used the term "aspect-oriented" because a co-worker mentioned it and it seemed appropriate, but I don't have a deep understanding of that philosophy.

I'll take a look at your code, blog posts, and videos later when I get out of work. :)
More that it is easy if you don't care about throwing away other things you value in pursuit of that goal
Right? It's interesting to see data "rust", if you will, over time just like a physical thing. How looking at stuff in the Wayback Machine, some decorative images might not load, some link might lead nowhere and in a way, it's no different from a book's pages falling apart.

There's so much data today, everything is stored and categorized, but I still believe that, say, 20 years from now, a lot will be lost nevertheless. No matter how easy it is to store stuff today.
Did you use more than logic to arrive at your conclusion, e.g. did you spend a while having fun, or at least trying to have fun, coding with Perl 6 before you reluctantly concluded it wasn't going to work out or did it never really appeal in that way to you in the first place?

Pensions don't work. The fact that they're disappearing is proof of that.

The entire concept of being legally required to provide a certain monetary benefit in 2060 based on someone's work now is crazy.

> 401K are not pensions and well it is scary.

Why? Your benefit is based on the actual money you have. That's just math, as opposed to smoke and mirrors with pensions where the money may or may not actually be there 50 years from now.

Is David Foster Wallace really among that calibre of writers? I'm reading Infinite Jest and I think I kind of hate it. There's some amazing chapters, but I can't help but loathe a lot of it. It just feels like pretentious drivel that isn't written by someone who has a clear idea of whats occurring, but by someone who wants to write what sounds "cool". Its almost like emotional pandering. I know he lead a pretty eventful life, but he tries to have so much depth on so many different topics, I get the impression he did the shallowest research time could afford. It would be the equivalent of trying to fit as many highlighted words on a wikipedia page into a paragraph as possible, without understanding what any of them mean. For example, he has some kind of obsession with optics, but every description reduces to convex/concave mirrors and "it just works".

Upstate NY here, and we get the worst weather in the US from Canadian winds and lake effect snow. For half the year it's always windy, always cold, always snowy, and always so, so gray.

But aside from that it's a great place to live. Land is cheap, you can get good local food anywhere, and we're safe from nearly every natural disaster you can think of. Just bring a jacket.
>It seems the most fair as the wealth increase created from ex. owning lots of land

If you want to charge people for profiting from land, it seems a land tax would be the best way to do it. It's essentially a property tax, except instead of taxing the land and the improvements, only the unimproved land value is taxed.

This allows capturing some of the economic rents by society as a whole in a way that has very little distortion and is essentially avoidable only by moving.

Moving would mean not taking advantage of any of the benefits or improvements of the area, so the only way to avoid it would be to give up the benefits. A wealth tax, by contrast, could be avoided by moving wealth to another country.

Since a large amount of wealth is tied up in land, a land tax is a sort of wealth tax by proxy, but with virtuous effects of promoting additional development and investment and punishing things like land speculation. It's a progressive tax too.

You should only care about that when it does prevent pose a problem

Then you are setting up yourself for a lot of trouble.

Another part of memory management is thinking about ownership (to which the substring discussion is very much related) and it pains me to see how many bugs are caused by code like:

Foo getFoo() {
return myFoo;
}

Where Foo is some mutable class and the invariants of the wrapping class suddenly don't hold anymore because some outside code is mutating the Foo instance through the pointer/reference.

Throw in some amount of concurrency and you get something that is not only hard to debug but also difficult to reproduce.

tl;dr: in a GCed language you need to think about memory management and ownership as well.

(Note: I am not arguing against garbage collection.)

I've been saying this to my circle of friends and family for years. The stark contrast between Toronto and Silicon Valley is mind-numbing. And the short-sightedness of our politicians and society is infuriating. I cannot understand why people think it's ok to rely on banks, resource companies, and manufacturing to hold up our economy. We need to invest in growth sectors. It may not create a ton of jobs immediately, but the potential payoff could save us. If you're not growing, you're dying.

I'm reaching the point where I need to hire developers soon. I'm worried about what kind of talent I'll be able to find, simply because most people worth their salt are already employed, or work in the Bay.

Remote is an option of course, but it adds a lot of complexity that most early-stage startups can't manage well.

I'm seriously considering going back to SV.
Open your network inspector and notice how the 25MB .webm file downloads again after each iteration of the movie.
Why I Moved from a Square to a Circle
I work in the entertainment / ticketing industry and we've been burned badly before by relying on AWS' Elastic Load Balancer due to sudden & unexpected traffic spikes.

From the article: "Elastic Load Balancer (ELB): [...] It scales without your doing anything. If it sees additional traffic it scales behind the scenes both horizontally and vertically. You don’t have to manage it. As your applications scales so is the ELB."

From Amazon's ELB documentation: "Pre-Warming the Load Balancer: [...] In certain scenarios, such as when flash traffic is expected [...] we recommend that you contact us to have your load balancer "pre-warmed". We will then configure the load balancer to have the appropriate level of capacity based on the traffic that you expect. We will need to know the start and end dates of your tests or expected flash traffic, the expected request rate per second and the total size of the typical request/response that you will be testing."
Interesting related fact: in much of Europe, children have a legal right to a big fraction of their parents' wealth after they die [1]. The Gates/Buffett/Zuckerberg scheme of giving almost everything would be illegal, and in some cases children can sue to recover donations made during their parents' lifetimes.

What would be the difference between inheritance and just giving your children money as long as you are alive? Would you be barred from that as well? So you could spend your money on whatever you want, but not give it to a very particular group of people?
Its not possible in general to earn anything without the existing systems in the background, ranging from national defense to roads to police to medical care to education. This is the Robinson Crusoe problem. If you rely on the police to not get robbed on the way home from work with "your" money then you have a moral obligation to pay your share of their salary.

Another problem with volunteering is half the population is below median and most of the world's population is pretty stupid and live outside organized society, indicating a voluntary society would only be sustainable if participant IQs were limited to perhaps 120+. People who are proven to have poor time preference or inability to socialized in a civilized manner can't be relied on to volunteer appropriately and need the gun and whip to behave appropriately, including ethical and moral "volunteering". So you end up with a clone of the existing system where smart enough people can cheat the system if they are unethical enough, or if they feel the system is unethical enough. Cheaper and simpler to leave the system alone than to rebuild it ending up in the same place anyway.

Given that, it should always be possible to opt out and go full Amish WRT refusal to fund the "real education system" or whatever... however note that even they have more or less non-optional tithing which is an income tax by another name.
Hopefully they'll find a way to make something like RemixOS Android TV compatible - apps made for that respond to remote controllers rather than touch inputs.

I have a little box running Windows under my TV, and RemixOS looks very interesting as a simpler OS I could use that will still have things like Netflix streaming etc. The only downside is that I need some background services (for DVR, etc) - I'm not clear on how Linux-y RemixOS is that this would or would not be possible.

Actually that's inconsistent. Using coercion to take something (a.k.a. theft) is wrong. Taxes are paid at the threat of violence, therefore to levy taxes is morally wrong.

For those reasons:

* Physics stopped CPUs from advancing any further.

* When CPUs used to advance they almost cost the same, that's why once they reached a new milestone they never looked back to produce slower CPUs.

* Adding a number next to "i" will make costumers pay more for pretty much the same CPU.

* There's only major CPUs manufactures and all CPUs they make are sold anyway so they start by mass production from day one.
It's mostly the combination with other things: the ability to hide or position elements on the page is commonly exploited by XSS, malware, adware, etc. If someone can inject JS or HTML into the page, they can do things like put an opacity:0 submit button over the control the user thought they were clicking on.

Consider how this could work if Twitter made a mistake and gave you a way to inject improperly-sanitized HTML into a field which other people will see: you might be able to inject a follow or tweet button even if you didn't have enough access to completely rewrite the entire page or load arbitrary scripts. If you can style it to either look real or be positioned over a real button, the odds of someone clicking that go up dramatically.

As a Toronto-based startup founder, I'm sorry you had that experience! (Shit, how Canadian of me... Apologizing for other people)

In any event, I think for the first time there's a really good cohort of Toronto founders with American-style vision and ability to execute. I don't think we're too far from seeing a couple of unicorns in Toronto that will help to build a stronger ecosystem. And yes, where necessary that means importing American management at great expense.

Toronto has a lot going for it. It's not everyone's cup of tea, as you can attest, but I think it's as good a place as anything to do something great.
That totally depends on your CSS pattern.

But I think the comment was overkill.
The danger lies in that they can offer free access to their own search engine, video sharing site, email, social network, and so on. And then set a really high price for regular traffic, making watching video outside their own video sharing site unrealistic. If you have no other internet providers in your area (or if all two/three of them do this trick) then you effectively don't have a free and open internet anymore.

[Giveaway] EPIC SlideShare Growth Hacking Bundle
It's a great reading list, but I was also surprised not to find Arthur C. Clarke's "Childhood's End" in there. I had always assumed his song "Oh! You Pretty Things" was about that book. While the book and the song share themes, they are apparently independent. I did like this passage I found online about the themes though [1]:

The resonance of “Oh! You Pretty Things” comes from how it uses these Nietzschean SF trappings as a metaphor for how a generation regards its successor with longing, fear and resentment (never more so than with the so-called Greatest Generation and their children the Boomers), or, even closer to home, how a parent can regard his or her children. Once you become a parent, you lose precedence in your own life—your own needs and desires are shunted aside, and you spend years as servant and guide to your replacement, who will go on to have richer experiences and greater opportunities than you ever had (that’s if you’re lucky). More bluntly, once you reproduce, your genetic purpose is fulfilled and all that remains is age, redundancy and death.

But because of biases, we usually focus on the 1% of the time they make an absolute fortune. Usually more due to dumb luck than actual savviness.
What people earn depend on the society they live in, it's not morally acceptable and as such shouldn't it also be legally acceptable to keep it all to yourself when you rely on what others built and in the education and infrastructure paid by others to achieve that wealth.

If you want to keep everything to yourself without giving anything back then go live in the middle of the rainforest. Let's see how rich you get without the wealth that other people created around you in order to be able feed your own wealth.
Others have mentioned this is not necessarily a mis-use. I'll add that what I see here is potentially an override style that can be toggled dynamically. In that case, this may be the right thing to do, the !important declaration lets this rule collide and win over conflicting font-weight rules without having to keep track of which order the conflicting rules were declared in; they might be in separate files.

The canonical .hide class I see many places, and use myself, has the exact same structure, and it is often better to do hiding this way than to toggle visibility or display, because it's a pain and error prone to toggle display directly on mixed display mode elements, e.g., inline-block, flexbox, etc., and visibility doesn't reflow.

So, don't be so sure this rule exemplifies mis-using css. It might, but without the context, it's pretty hard to draw that conclusion.
Rust IDE Built Using the IntelliJ Platform
I suspect that it's now a solvable problem to determine if the first few messages from an account are, if not "harassment", at the least... argumentative. Angry. Uncharitable. Sentiment analysis is pretty well-established, as is figuring out what people are talking about for the purpose of advertising at them.

If a new account joins and immediately starts expressing strong opinions on, say, a certain Breitbart reporter and how much ethics is in his journalism, whatever those opinions are, those don't need to be sent as notifications or show up as a reply to other tweets. It's not like Twitter guarantees reliable delivery, anyway. If they've been around on Twitter for a bit, sure.

But it's not as clearly in the interest of profit as identifying advertising interests (or even identifying spammers).
No. If you volunteered into a contract with a company or group who would protect you, then you would indeed have a moral obligation to pay. It's theft to levy taxes for involuntary services. Explain to me how a mafia boss coming into your store and offering you protection is different than your much-better-equipt government.

> Python encourages a style that makes less use of regexps.

Yes, even in the places where regexp would help very much. And even if you'll
insist on using regexps, Python makes them highly inefficient or cumbersome
(or both), because if you're careful, you'll either get code that needs to
store compiled pattern somewhere vaguely related to the code at hand, or code
that compiles the pattern on every use. If you are not careful enough, you'll
get the two at the same time.

> Nice ad hominem. Go on then - what's your USP for Perl? Why should one use it over Python/Ruby/...?

Thank you, though I wasn't refering to yourself. It was pretty clear you don't

My reason to use it is because it was my primary language for over a decade.
For other people? I don't know. All three are similar in what they can do and
how does it look afterwards, as all of them are scripting languages in OOP
land.

Combine that one and Perl's learning curve, and you'll get why Perl usage was
declining over the last decade.

Well, to me it shows one main point: China and most other countries, and actually anyone or any entity, will do better not listening to the "advices" and "suggestions" from the newspapers. This reminds me of "The Miller, His Son, and the Ass": just do what you have to do without worrying about what people say or think.

But about China there is a special case: Some rampant China-bashing from the US who can't stand someone else getting closer and closer. So we need to be careful, xxx-bashing is bad, except if xxx == self.
