Companies like Google should be taxed on revenue, if they hide their profits.
I have rented lots of Blu-rays and never found one that was upscaled from DVD to 1080p. Can you provide more details please since I am having a hard time believing that's true.
Law: You must not do A. You may do b-zB-Z.

You: I'm doing a. Law doesn't say I can't. Just a, not A.

I don't see an issue with a fine. "Creative accounting" is a nice title for "finding loopholes." Loopholes, by their very nature, are UNINTENTIONAL gaps in the law.

Politicans draft the law. Tax firms merely collect on it. So you're asking politicians to foresee all possible loopholes. You might as well as a programmer to write bug-free software, except the programmer doesn't have any say or get to ask any questions about the implementation.

10 points for who can name the movie that has the quote...

"Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has no idea what it means to have a plethora".
I love this question!

Something appears to be weightless when it is falling the same speed as everything around it. If you took a kitchen scale, taped a weight to the top, and dropped them, you'd notice it appears to have a weight of zero.

On the topic of falling, if you walk off a cliff, you fall to the base of the cliff. If you run, you fall farther way. The faster you go, the trajectory of your fall will be farther from the cliff. Now go really fast and you may fall miles away - but you'll be fighting air resistance and eventually slow down and hit the ground.

Above the Karman Line (62mi/100km up), the air is thin enough that there barely any air resistance. If you go fast up here, the air isn't there to slow you down. Gravity still pulls you back to earth though. [Blue Origin]

Now if you're above the atmosphere and going horizontally fast enough, the trajectory of your fall eventually overshoots the curvature of the earth. Follow that trajectory a quarter rotation around the earth -- you're still in space, you're still going fast, and you're still falling. You're in orbit. (SpaceX)

Since you're falling forever and the space station around you is also falling, you appear to be weightless in relation to the space station.

(The indie game Kerbal Space Program is a great way to play with/explore the concepts of orbital mechanics if you're intrigued.)

[Edit: For reference, the different in thrust needed to go straight up and coast to the Karman line compared to going up at an angle (spending more time traveling through the dense atmosphere) and establishing a horizontal speed of about 17,500 miles per hour is very big. I believe it's at least an order of magnitude though I don't have a citation for that number.]
The fallacy here is that when you look at the numbers, they're not just using ordinary deductions - they can't because then they couldn't arrive at these results.

These kind of things work by deliberately setting up perverse virtual organizational structures to take advantage of complex loop holes. It is abusive, in the strict term of the word.

Using your analogy, would what you say if your tax preparer told you that if you proforma-married a woman in country X and used her name to set up a non-existing company in country Y, because then you'd qualify for certain deductions?

It's the same problem. If the user can set it, then it can also be set by malware running at the same privilege as the user.

The only solution is to move the check outside of this privilege level (i.e. the readonly `.text` section of the firefox binary in /usr/ or Program Files). That's what the signing requirement does.
Worth noting though, that as mentioned (announced) in this post, they are working on an orbital vehicle too. Part of this is the development of the BE-4 engine, which will also be used on the orbital ULA Vulcan rocket.
It's actually unrelated to OpenEmu. They have their own cores some of which are based on RetroArch cores but they don't use RetroArch cores directly.

Maybe this is because the OP was of an Asian background where taking care for extended family is taken for granted. In reality, most poor families are quite atomized, even when they live under the same roof, so that shouldn't be a big deal.

> Bullshit. Non-zero in a reserved field that has no meaning now, and should be loudly diagnosed as an error until such a time that it has a meaning.

This makes no sense. You must treat a reserved field as meaningless and having no consequence, otherwise eventually, when it does have meaning and your old code is looking at packets, you're going to start "loudly diagnosing" all over the place.

Both forces go through the centre of mass, as the engine doesn't stay firing vertically downwards when the rocket rotates. Your finger on the other hand tries to continue pushing upwards as the yardstick rotates about your finger, whcih means the centre of mass of the yardstick moves laterally comapred with the vertical upwards force you apply with your finger. Thus, it creates a moment and rotates.

One thing striking me was how as s child the author had the "common" responsibility of dealing with landlords bills etc for the family.

It may not be something a startup can solve but "administrivia as a service" - some means of connecting families who need with someone able to actually advise and not be taken advantage of

In the uk we have a volunteer service called citizens advice bureau - I am thinking something like this on tap might be beneficial in ways hard to quantify

?
Easily. If someone comes from a rich family it's in a way harder for him to build a startup: he will not belong to the demographic of 90%+ potential users of any startup, and it will be hard for him to understand what they want and how to pitch it to them, same thing about employees - it will be hard to lead and motivate people not understanding what the people who need to work to pay their bills feel. This is my personal experience, while i am not rich in the 'first world' sense, when i lived in a small provincial town in Russia 9 years ago i was rich in a relative sense - if you define rich as '1%'. My attempt to build a catering business failed miserably because of these items. Programming - where my clients are of same demographic as myself - works way better.
The distributed nature just means that if attackers find one exploit, they can apply it repeatedly to the distributed application, to give themselves an entire botnet.

All code is privileged, so any remote execution exploit in any piece of code makes you own the whole machine (physical or virtual, as the case may be). A buffer overflow in some HTML-template-stuffing code is as good as one in an ethernet interrupt routine. Wee!
There seems quite a lot of uncertainty to the timing so they may have happened at the same time. I'm not sure how they date it but if its based on the position in 75 million years of sediment then a few 100,000 years may not be a big difference?
The fuel cost of a Falcon 9 launch is ~$200k. In a perfect world (tons of launches), lets say (generously) that we get launch costs down a million a pop, all things included.

BO's New Shepard is shooting for something like $100k or less per flight. The rocket is much smaller, uses less fuel, and is much easier to move around on the ground, reducing fixed launch costs. It's at least an order of magnitude lower in price, for a completely different service (suborbital tourism), which will make it accessible to a much larger market.

You have to replace that old code, obviously. Or, much better yet, configure it not to do the diagnosing any more. That's a separate concern, one of "what happens if this field starts being used, but old code is still in wide deployment". It doesn't negate the basic principle.
An approach that would be familiar to anyone who has programmed in vintage BASIC with line numbers!

I suggest exercise first. Even semi-regular exercise will help stimulate your appetite and need for sleep, making both of them harder to ignore or neglect. Then, of course, there are the benefits of exercise.

I believe the means by which you choose to exercise is extremely important here. Based on my interpretation of your post, I'm going to divide exercise into the two categories.

1.'Exercise hacks': intermittent, low-impact physical activity that optimizes for your convenience and proximity, and done well goes almost undetected in your day-to-day. Usually, this type of exercise splits its time with another activity. Examples: use a treadmill desk while working; do five pushups every time you enter your kitchen; choose stairs over the elevator.

I do not recommend this category for you. I believe you would be disappointed and unlikely to improve your overall health, and the things in between, by a meaningful and rewarding degree.

2. Activity performed as part of a group class that occurs during discrete, recurring periods of time. Exercise, a safe space for person-to-person interaction, accountability, and opportunities to laugh at yourself are all pleasant byproducts. Examples: beginner salsa or swing dancing; rock-climbing; parkour; whatever.

I think you'll find this form of activity to be a lovely surprise and very rewarding. I urge you to give it a try.
Sure, I was just making the point that virus and friends never were a PC exclusive, as some tend to believe.
Except you have to assume old code will be in deployment after the new code exists. The whole point of "reserved" fields is to tell old code not to freak out if it sees new code using that field but doesn't understand it.
> But sure, you need a debugger. So you use one. I'm not sure why the author seems to think that's so hard.

The author wrote and continues to contribute to DTrace, which is an incredibly advanced facility for debugging and root causing problems. GDB (for example) doesn't help you solve performance problems or root-cause them, because now your performance problem has become ptrace (or whatever tracing facility GDB uses on that system).

The point he was making is that there are problems with porting DTrace to a unikernel (it violates the whole "let's remove everything" principle, and you couldn't practically modify what DTrace probes you're using at runtime becuase the only process is your misbehaving app -- good luck getting it to enable the probes you'd like to enable).
Agreed with danieltillet. Also, an assertion of fact without any explanation or supporting evidence is not particularly constructive. If you had included this part in your original comment it may have received fewer downvotes:

> Uber is a marketplace. Facebook is a social network. Craigslist is a marketplace. Uber's network effect works the same way Craigslist's does, and is not so much similar to Facebook's network effect.
I'm not implying any advantage, only reiterating that they're starting small and building up. My reply was aimed at "I don't think the smaller booster is harder. It's almost by definition easier." which the article explicitly said the opposite of, which I then quoted.

I don't care if SpaceX or Blue Origin wind up on top, I don't own stock in either one, but I'm much more likely to trust the word of an actual certified rocket scientist than an unsourced HN comment.
Looks really cool except Part 2 where the ceremonious setup for the front-end part really point out the issue with JS right now. Other than that, great work!
Your Big Data might be small
It's a pretty common spelling mistake.
Are you talking about debugging code running a container or debugging Docker? Because we're all talking about the former, not the latter.
I'd say it's mostly normal behavior: a very sensible desire to not be a weirdo, as being branded one can have bad consequences. But I suppose the more insecure one is, the more likely it is that this 'internal monologue' becomes a problem. And of course it can be argued that what is normal is not necessarily good or healthy :-).

My favorite (short) novel illustrating this 'meta-existence' is Notes From Underground. I read it in a period where I was very insecure and becoming more and more withdrawn. Seeing on paper my exact thought process and how it negatively bleeds into my (social) behavior and becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy was very confronting, and a great warning and incentive to snap out of it somehow.

I think the problems arise in a way similar to addiction: the 'meta' becomes habitual, then compulsive an overpowering, and is experienced as negative, perhaps even debilitating. But also gives a form of comfort. So we keep doing it.

A certain degree 'meta', of self-reflection is fine, perhaps even necessary in the complex societies we inhabit, but especially in bad times it can become an addiction, making those bad times even worse.

I strongly believe being alone is crucial for our mental health. Or to 'just be', I guess. And being 'meta' in your head is like constantly having conversations of sorts with yourself or with others. It's not being alone.

In fact, it's worse than being alone, because your mind can puppeteer all these others, so you really just end up projecting your insecurities and judgments back unto yourself, except with more authority, because you're imagining your partner, parent, boss, or friend doing it, which somehow makes it seem more objective and real and painful.
I don't disagree that oracle has excellent materialized view support, but triggers and other strategies can go a long way also, I think Dan Chak did a really nice chapter on this in his book enterprise rails, that is also available online for free at http://dan.chak.org/enterprise-rails/chapter-12-materialized...
Perfect, I haven't seen any good tutorials on this stuff until now. Thanks.
You're the one turning it into a competition, in reality it is simply two separate companies doing different awesome things. Yes, obviously, going into orbit is harder than not doing so. But going to space sub-orbitally is still very difficult and cool, and the only reason there's a negative spin on BO's achievements is because people feel the need to compare it with SpaceX as if there can be only one.

Just be excited for the positive direction of spaceflight in general. Everyone benefits from both companies doing well, even if SpaceX is ahead of everyone else for awhile.
> While you are right about OCaml being safer than C, Heartbleed was a pretty lame bug, it doesn't even give an attacker remote code execution.

But it did give the attacker your server's private keys. And client private data.
C programmers certainly hate dependencies. So much that the most extreme class cannot even tolerate multi-file external dependencies. That is really extreme, but given the history of dealing (or coping) with dependencies such paranoia is rather justified.

> Why not just lay out your source normally, and then munge it with a simple script into something Windows can handle (similar to sqlite)? Because writing trivial scripts on Windows is also a pain?

Instead of making a big library with multiple files, they took an alternative to make a small well-defined library with a single file and small number of entry points.
If you look at proper OS virtualization implementations (like Zones and jails), where syscalls that aren't safe just don't work, then the difference is more apparent.
Sorry to be pedantic, but there's no "breaking out of Earth's gravitational field" here in either case.

The essential difference is the huge velocity required for orbit, the kinetic energy for which goes up with the square of that velocity.

Reuse is also much easier for BO - their rocket goes straight up and down.
I am not sure about the reasoning for real estate being a pitfall. Can you elaborate?

Personally, I've never been bothered by any of the issues solved here. On the other hand, I miss dates and datetimes everyday...
When are you talking about them being replaced? Because I thought website certificates embed the signature of the signer (the intermediate), so if the intermediate is revoked, my website's certificate won't work anymore. If that's the case I should be fairly safe pinning the intermediate for as long as my website certificate is valid.
I'm currently doing that for a project, but I'm about to change things up and use Babel anyways, for the following reasons:

- my project contains jsx files, which currently are compiled into .js files which feels a bit messy.

- I'm seriously considering using ES7's async/await functionality, which is not supported by node yet.

- and most importantly: node's ES6 support is incomplete. In particular, I miss default function parameters and destructuring assigment.

Using Babel would solve all these issues, and I could simply remove Babel once support is sufficient.
Biohackers Start Bay Area Protein Modeling Group
Because they are private we often can't see the books, and the bits of the books that get out are not entirely reflective of the entire picture (if you know what I mean, nudge nudge great runner sir!)

However, my guess is that most of these companies are not actually profitable, and that most of them have business plans that require significant investments to make them profitable in the future. I think that most of them have a strategy that aims to "win" in the short term by dominating their categories and then to build out a business that capitalizes on their success, reaping profit in the future.

If so they are in trouble in that they are going to need lots more cash before they deliver profits. New providers of cash hold all the cards because if the current shareholders don't get that cash into the business then their stake is worth nothing. If the new providers of cash are the current investors then they need to squeeze hard to justify doubling down on the risk (most of them simply won't do this, but some of the funds with very deep pockets have histories of doing this with some assets)

No need to use Developer Edition. The unbranded builds of Release and Beta will have an update mechanism too.

My understanding of the docs is you cannot do that level of fine grained access control for a given gce instance. You can only give it a gcs scope of read, write, or both
The security of the browser is conditional on the security of the platform in the first place, so this does not make sense. Anything that can edit the settings of the browser without its knowledge can interfere with the browser and other software in other bad ways.

It especially does not make sense for users who actually do have a reasonably secure platform, and these "security features" are then purely an annoyance.
Marketplace competition and non-zero-sumness are not mutually exclusive, at least not if you are a capitalist. The total money spent on spaceflight will be larger with both companies in the market than with either one alone, therefore it is not a zero-sum game.

As for acknowledging each others advancements - you don't see Sony or Dell going out of their way to mention Apple, for obvious reasons. This is normal behavior between competitors. I don't see why people are making so much out of Bezos' tweet; it was just a stupid joke.
Good to see another Gentoo user. I was avoiding PulseAudio on my desktop, but it's feels necessary on a laptop, especially if you use Bluetooth.

I did have a lot of problems with distorted audio on Linux games, but "killall -9 pulseaudio" before starting a game (forcing it to respawn) usually fixes it.

While interesting, I wonder if this makes any sense in terms of performance vs simply using a linked-list (or some kind of built-in equivalent, maybe backed by a binary tree, or something)? How many cards are you going to have in a given stack anyway? All you need is a list of card-ids (integers?) -- It's not like this has to run on a micro-controller...
Thats an interesting approach to learning. I have used Django for nearly 5 years, more or less full time, and I haven't read every part of the documentation.

I did read through all of the stuff about mixins for generic views, and at the time it didn't make much sense.

A while later I started using some formsets and the django-extra-views package, and using class based views for a small project. After that hands on work, I see how they all fit together.
I'd say that makes you technically correct, but practically speaking, if using let before it's declared (assigned?), this temporal dead zone, results in an error, it's pretty much not hoisted in the way that most of us think of it.

Or is there a use case that I'm not aware of where the hoisting is beneficial despite the temporal dead zone?
> hypervisor has become the OS

A hypervisor is an OS. A rose by any other name.
The babel documentation says it's a bad idea to do this in production, so I'm thinking of using webpack to transpile then entire back-end to one ES5 file. Do you know enough about this situation to tell me if this is a bad idea or not? Because obviously your approach would be 'simpler'.

Edit: An additional reason to transpile to ES5 is that on the whole much of the ES6 support is not very performant yet. While this might not matter for incidental uses of, say, template strings, it might become noticeable for an entire project. Or is that a clear case of premature optimization?
