However, clicking the link to “Latest Version” at the top of the document you linked (from Dec 2015) takes you to the document I posted (from Aug 2014) so…who knows? It will require some testing to see what the browsers have actually implemented I guess.

>We could say there are no deductions, ever. Every dollar earned is taxable.

No, you couldn't. The very point of deductions is that deducted costs are not earned dollars.

If you can't deduct cost of doing business, all taxation reverts to taxing sales, and the economy is really very, very different from now. No one has ever got that to work, anywhere.
Technically Finland is bilingual - but not in practice - except for the 5% Swedish speaking minority. Everyone is forced to learn Swedish at school starting from year 7 but obviously the results are poor since it's not optional and it's useless. I refuse to ever speak Swedish yet I was forced to learn it.

Exactly. I think authors understand this too. The problem is that they want to make their article popular and get more citations, that is why they add this BS about consciousness to their article.

Its amazing how ill-informed the average UK citizen is about the Snowden revelations. It appears that the propaganda against Snowden has quite effectively resulted in people ignoring the facts he revealed.
I get that you're using "the silos" as something uber-secret, but note that the UK does not have (and never had) land-based nuclear weapons, so does not have any missile launching silos. The only nuclear weapon the UK has is Trident - submarine launched missiles.
Agreed. I was forced to work with JS-in-CSS and i still dont get their reasoning behind it at all. All use cases in their examples were easily solveable with CSS if you fixed up a bit of the bad CSS they shipped with.

It was just a very lazy approach to handle something they lost control for.
And not even Value Added Tax, but Value Tax.

If a shop buys something for $10 and sells it for $15, the value added is $5 and you pay a percentage of that as VAT.

What the parent proposes is that you pay a percentage of $15 as tax, and cannot deduct the cost of sales (no deductions, ever).

Not your mother's wiki
Working from home for many years, here's my take:
* Discipline to start your day, but also to end it.

* You need to dedicate an area to be your office and come and leave it as if you had to commute to work.

* Go out and socialize! Especially for introverts, it's easy for us to neglect some social balance.

* At the end of the day, make sure you switch into activities which will 'switch' you off work and into something else (working out? Hobby? Kids homework?)
They're events, but no ordering is assumed, guaranteed, promised, implied, or enforced. The timestamps, if you choose to use them, are only for determining message identity (equality) and thus can be as accurate or inaccurate as relevant for your application.

You don't have to use timestamps if they don't make sense. For example, what is the "identity" of a message in an instant messaging program? If you just use the message content, then duplicate messages don't work. It would make sense to include the sender and the time written (which is different from the time sent!) as well. You might also include the recipient, depending.

Note that instead of using timestamps, you could use the hash of the message being replied to. However, IM software usually doesn't have a system for real replies, so doing that properly probably isn't worthwhile. (Edit: however, hashes are very useful for systems like email, forums, etc., where reply targets are explicitly defined.)

If you do want ordering, BYO. Content addressing and UUIDs are equivalent in that regard.
Uber ruled illegal in Taiwan
I enjoy working remotely because I don't have to lie to myself. There's no faking it for a boss who walks by. There's nobody to impress but myself (and my teammates on chat).

I think that actually makes me far more productive. Now the two cumulative hours I spent pretending to be working while in the office, I spend doing things like exercising or running errands. Then when I return, I'm far more rejuvenated than I would have been mindlessly sitting at the office.
The CIA most definitely knew and refused to share that information with the FBI.

Interestingly, I went the other way around, did a toy project with django, hated the ORM, didn't like the template so much, and at the tolime django didn't support python 3. I then discovered bottlepy sqlalchemy base (so I write raw SQL, but I can easily switch database underneath), and mako templates, and was in a much better place.

I have also worked in flask environments, flask does have the advantage of having a bigger plugin ecosystem, and a bigger network effect (way more users!), which translate in more recipes, entries on SO, etc...
Many trends affect commercial real estate over a sufficiently long time horizon.

It remains to be seen to what degree remote work expands beyond places where it's already common. I didn't find the call center example in the article particularly compelling. There's already a combination of "Work for home and make $XXX a week!" jobs and call centers in less expensive locations (even if still in the US).

If one assumes a marked increase in true remote professional work (i.e. not just work from home a few days a week), I'd expect to seeing some percentage people opt for living in lower cost (and/or more desirable to them) areas and companies potentially having smaller offices in locations less oriented toward commuters.
Saudi is a feudal monarchy. How many times did we see, in Western history, brothers, cousins and relatives of a feudal monarch endorsing this or that "troublemaking" religion just to stick it to their in-charge relative? Plenty.

Nation-states are not consistent monoliths with predictable and precise objectives; they are aggregated magmas of competing and often conflicting interests. This is why it is important to have open debate among parties, so that such conflicts can be dealt with in the open, through constant compromises, not in the dark with daggers and suicide bombers.
All companies in Saudi are operated almost entirely by imported labor

Is this still true? I ask because when I was in grad school at the University of Arizona I taught technical writing to a fair number of Saudi (and Kuwaiti) engineering students. I don't know what happened to them after graduation, but I presume most went back to work in the oil companies. Maybe they ended up fulfilling the "Saudification" quota.

(That's a great post overall, by the way.)
I've come close to trying to nail down the zone issue. Still not certain, but it's related to decisions. The days I don't have to make an actual decision, but to just solve the problems, things move faster.

But sometimes, when I'm uncertain of the design or whatever decision that needs to be made, I fall out of the zone and into procrastination mode to avoid making a decision that I feel might be wrong.

A very good analogy would be one way to gain at least a little insight into the relationship between the USA govt and Evangelical Christians would be to watch Fox News.

Usually cross cultural analogies are risky at best, but this one is surprisingly accurate. There exist religious groups who's relatives, followers, and sympathizers hold at least some of the positions in the government, although the religious groups in question are not technically officially a part of the government. There is an influence.

Dave Needle and the Story of the Amiga Computer [video]
Increased working at home seems like it will be a good candidate to replace open office plan workspaces.

I like to think of workplace design as moving back and forth between private and open, each taking advantage of new technology when they become standard.

With good internet speeds and collaborative chat apps being ubiquitous, and real estate costs soaring in the great tech hubs, work from home makes sense.
Analyzing large data through Microsoft Excel Functions
Yes, I did recommend listening to "their" media. However I did not mean listen to the news, Watch the music, culture, and other forms of media, to get a sense of the "extremism exporter" being portrayed in the article, just take a look at this network ( http://telfaz11.com/en/ ). I really do not understand the reasons behind your anger, is it because of 9/11? As I said before, the Saudis have suffered way more because of Al-Qaeda, and keep in mind that Al-Qaeda is the child of cold war strategies.

And no, I am not a paid commenter, I am a Saudi citizen who lives in Riyadh and is deeply insulted by all these reductions that are clearly made without any deep thoughts on the middle east.

What is your definition of moderate? Moderate compared to what country?

Yes, the future of work should be to reduce work hours. Working from home is beside the point if it means working more hours (which seems to be the case).
Agreed — I've always admired how extensive Sass/LESS have become, but I do think having advanced logic inside your stylesheets makes no sense. Not necessarily because of separation of concerns, but because Javascript does a much better job at this (and already has the remaining logic of the application), so there's really no need to reinvent a slightly less functional version of the wheel here.

That said, the main advantage for writing CSS in JS is being able to rewrite styles in runtime, where changing values in Javascript automatically reflects in style changes. The most direct way to do this today is setting variables as data-attributes in a DOM node and targeting specific true/false values for that attribute in your stylesheet.

Native CSS Variables will make life much easier in this respect, but it will still take a couple of years before all major browsers implement it.
> note that the UK does not have (and never had) land-based nuclear weapons

It did used to have US nuclear artillery under a dual-key arrangement, but admittedly those didn't have silos.
Very much in the opinion space here...

To an extent, as with all big data systems, massive collection of data has both opportunities and risks. The risk in overcollection (e.g., the NSA type programs) is that you collect so much damn information that you are either behind in analyzing it or flat out never get there [1-2]. Combine that with (as others have noted) the lack of translators and you get what you got [3]. The old maxim* that not all data is information (DIKW) heavily applies here [4]. This whole phenomenon becomes especially problematic when you are spending all that time energy and money largely trying to predict 'black swan' events using what has happened before as what to look for in the future (e.g., the TSA as a whole or the NSA still focusing on cold war languages pre-9/11 [3]).

No need to be pedantic, onion2k's original point that you can use values from the browser is spot-on. If you've ever tried to interact with CSS transitions/animations with JavaScript you'll find rather quickly that doing the entire thing in JS is the only reasonable approach.
Why would you compare it to Dylan? Swift will be the most popular iOS language within 18 months. If you look at the new iOS books that are released, most use Swift. I count over 3 dozen books within 18 months of Swift's release:

I don't think you realize this, but Chrome on the App Store is actually just a shell with the Chrome UI around the embedded Safari browser, rather than the actual Chrome browser, due to Apple restrictions.

Last night, I was playing with a little Bluetooth tag the host of a hackathon gave out to all the attendees. I threw some pictures up here:

https://sidnicio.us/btle-tag.html

It supports BTLE, so you can talk to it without any pairing and leave it turned on without (supposedly) using much power. If your computer has the right hardware, it should be incredibly easy to write a program which listens for button presses. I used an iOS app called LightBlue to poke at it. The app lets you scan for BTLE devices and read/write/subscribe to properties.

I love the idea of dedicated hardware controls for computers. I thought of making this a work-in-progress commit button, which quickly makes a “WIP” commit to your current project. Maybe other people have even cooler ideas?
I see what you're saying. A computer programmer accused of a hacking crime should only be judged by other computer programmers, since they understand the domain.

An artist accused of selling fake fraudulent paintings should be judged by a jury of artists, since these would best understand the techniques used to make paintings and could interpret the evidence to determine whether it was fraud.

Toyota cheating their emissions should only be judged by a jury made up of members of large car dealerships, mechanics, car repair services, etc. These would be best equipped to understand what exactly was done where in the pipeline, and interpret the evidence for or against them.

When a Goldman Sachs executive is accused of fraud, only other Wall Street investment bankers should be on the jury as these are his peers and the only ones who understand the complex financial instruments being used.
Wow you may be on to something there.

I think that applies to me, especially in a small startup where there is a ton to decide on (versus outlined tasks). I think when a task is already decided on, I move quickly. Depending on my mood I think I get overwhelmed and procrastinate when lots of decisions have to be made.

Ask HN: How do you read your articles on Kindle?

The US is leading in child poverty, with 16 million kids (20%) on food stamps. Poverty alleviation requires government action. Raising taxes so money can be given to people who clearly need it isn't "big government" in any meaningful sense. Some of the money flows just get redirected and millions of people get lifted out of poverty. This doesn't contribute at all to the problems of unaccountable and unchecked power.

We should of course oppose Drone strikes (and all other forms of aggression). But don't use Drone strikes as a boogeyman to oppose all taxes. Without sufficient taxation government becomes underfunded and incapable of providing the services needed for the country to function. Where government falls short other groups will take over. When underfunded government institutions get replaced with unaccountable for-profit organizations the citizens are far worse off.

It's a permanent struggle to keep the powers that be in check. However when it comes to the government there are many checks and balances in place, and there is a lot of transparency so the citizenry can figure out what the government is doing if they care enough. All things considered, that's pretty good.

I also really have great hopes for Swift as a modern, x-platform, general purpose, compiled language. Go is not general purpose; Rust is too low level. Haskell has a too steep learning curve.

Ur/Web is really great, but not at all general purpose.

Why am I hung up over "general purposeness"? Well when I learn a language, it takes quite a bit of my time; then I want to be able to apply it broadly.

Therefor I shun Node.js, Go and Erlang/Elixir.
Don't let facts and logic get in the way of a good story you've read on some website you saw on your facebook feed.
The context here is events originated by a single actor, so wallclock is much more reasonable than in the general distributed system case. You might still be worried about the user accessing your system simultaneously from multiple devices, so a randomly generated ID is probably still useful.

That's more than a little misleading:

* background sync is not a web standard, it's experimental chrome tech (though it's been submitted to the WICG)

* I can only assume "proper offline" refers to service workers which is a WD with partial support (in the browsers in which it's implemented, which exclude Edge and webkit), webkit has it listed as "under consideration" and the last spec revision landed around the time of the last major safari update (mid-2015)

* notifications is fair, note that desktop Safari supports and that there's almost no mobile support at this point (also not supported yet in Edge)

* indexeddb is fair wrt current standards, but does not support "apple hates webapps" considering safari supports websql

* rtc is fair, and in development

* filesystem is proprietary chrome tech, dropped from standard track

* media sinks is fair, a WD with incomplete support on chrome

* media session is in development everywhere except edge

All in all, as far as conspiracy theories your comments mostly support you being a chrome shill.
I remember reading about the Rosetta disk. It's a good start, the fact that it's human-readable makes it much more likely to be useful. The "bootstrapping" idea is really cool also.

There's still some assumptions- that future civilisations will have some knowledge of some of the languages we speak nowadays and so on, but they're probably safe to make, more or less.

There's always the chance that one of those things will only be found by some alien civilisation visiting the Earth in the far future, when there's no humanity left, let alone civilisation- but that's probably a very remote possibility to plan for. Although I guess Voyager 1 already has taken it into account.
No, I have a problem with pro-Russia (pro-Putin) trolls. Still, I don't think they are "paid".
