Personally, for me it makes sense that the id field has a different distintive name for each table because it's a specific kind of id, i.e., customerID is not interchangeable with reservationID. For me, this is not so much about prepending the field with the table name, but about calling things by their name. "id" is just too vague, even if you use it in the context of a specific table.
Complication is a feature not a bug. You can't solve this until you solve the reason why the complication occurred in the first place (politicians need for cash). Any simplification of the tax law will just slide back to the current mess as each lobby group buys the loopholes they want. If you want to fix the tax system you need to fix the political system's need for cash.

One of the more interesting things about this US election season is that the population is starting to get this. I think the US Supreme Court were rather clever ruling that injecting unlimited cash into the political system was Ok as it has accelerated this process of voter education.
Is the "naturalistic fallacy" really a fallacy? Is is it really just another of the many fallacious fallacies?

I think there's logic to regarding more recent food innovations with greater skepticism. Same with many innovations. Over a shorter time period, the long-term consequences of the innovations have not yet become fully apparent. With things that have been used for thousands of years we can assume that had a long-term issue arisen, the food or practice would likely have been abandoned.

Radium watches, DDT, hydrogenated vegetable oils, ....
I never understood why the thing named "natural join" don't use relationships to determine the joining columns. Does not look natural for me.

This argument holds less and less water each year, what with Apple, Facebook and Google and company all sitting on an amount of wealth so insane that even they barely know how much money they actually have and with the middle class nearing extinction.

At some point the corporate overlords are going to have to acknowledge that in order to maintain their positions, they're going to have to let some of the other people have some of the money, if for no other reason than so they can spend it. I don't hate the rich at all, I think they're acting rationally in a poorly designed system that incentivizes them to hoard more and more while the rest of us fight for the scraps, but that system can only go on so long.
What station(s) are you using that you can't see the time clocks before entering the turnstiles? I can't think of any, although admittedly I'm not looking that often, as I rarely take a taxi for personal use.
> In the worst case everything ends up being tightly bound (...)

Your tradeoff is between “tightly bound by shared data structures” vs. “tightly bound by process synchronization”. I don't see how either is better than the other.

> the real world is rarely so kind

In the real world, from what I've seen, while everything is interconnected to everything else, not all the connections are equally strong or important. If you want to compute exact results, without possibility of failure, no matter what the computational cost, then sure, you need to take all the connections into account. If you can trade some accuracy for performance gains in the average case, you'll probably want to find ways to prevent minor failures from bringing down the entire system.

‘Fintech’ Loses Some of Its Attraction for Investors
I'm an American who used to work for a British company and we did exactly this. I spent a good year and a half building teams in Cluj to very good success. The developers in Cluj were top notch and most all worked for US/EU based firms (Westinghouse, Nokia, Betfair, etc were some of the biggest there). I don't think I interfaced or saw any companies focusing on building software specifically for the Romanian market...the country still has ways to go in physical infrastructure before it can adopt technical infrastructure.

What evidence is there that the money Apple holds offshore was generated 'onshore'?

If it is the case that funds that Apple holds offshore were generated offshore, it's unreasonable that an entity should pay taxes on it. How much income tax do you pay to countries you don't live in?

For the future: please send questions like this to hn@ycombinator.com. It's totally hit and miss whether we'll see them in the threads like this.

I looked and found no evidence, not even a tinge, of the things you're asking about. Seems most likely that a bunch of people ran across the story on the internet and thought HN would like it. Tesla is one of a few strains of high-grade local catnip, so they weren't wrong.

It will happen again. Again and again and again, and with increasing frequency as the global economy becomes more and more interdependent and fragile.

Housing prices in SF are now fragile to, among other things, the price that Yukos gets for its oil, the banking system in China, grexit/brexit votes in the EU ... on top of all of the usual suspects like interest rates which will become greater than zero at some point in the future.

I'm not sure I would say enterprises have been "automating Windows for decades". Enterprises buy products and invest time in SCCM but it has never been as good as config management tools on Linux.

I wish more people had switched to PowerShell a long time ago. I actually also wished Microsoft would have announced PowerShell on OS X and Linux. I would have been more excited for that. I haven't used it for a couple of years but back then (when they introduced DSC) it still had a long way to go.

Pick any modern automobile, and you can drive to your destination with ease. Each car maximizes some manner of cost, comfort, materials, efficiency, and safety. Compare a modern car with a 100 year old vehicle, and you will find innovation in absolutely every area. A machine for moving people. You don't need to bring anything with you. You don't need to bring your own chair to sit in, for example - the car already has that.

Now, pick any modern house. You will find almost no innovation compared to a house that is 100 years old. You'll need to bring your own chair, since the house just has empty rooms. Think of all the things you need to do in order to live. Shouldn't the architect of the house take all of these activities into consideration? Le Corbusier uses such examples as -- shouldn't there be a place to store artwork, so that there is always something different on the wall? Shouldn't there be recessed lighting, so there is no dusty chandelier to clean? Shouldn't there be as much natural light as possible, to avoid the need for artificial light in the first place?

Shouldn't the house be a machine for living, just as the car is a machine for driving? Where style is not bolted on, but rather the formal outcome of functionality?

Another phrase he uses that I really like, "the answer to a question well posed," or, "the solution to a problem well posed."

But anyway, I'm rambling. Read "Toward An Architecture." Any book that gets a new translation at almost 100 years old is probably worth a gander.

actually, i have in mind "chunking" like this:

a chapter-header should not appear in the
middle, or at the bottom, of the viewport.

initial text after a chapter-header should
appear in the same viewport as that header.

the first line of a paragraph shouldn't be split
across viewports from the rest of the paragraph.

the last line of a paragraph should not be split
across viewports from the rest of the paragraph.

an image should not be split across a viewport.

a caption for an image should appear in
the same viewport as the image itself.

the table-header for a table should not be
split across viewports from the table itself.

a table which will fit entirely within the current
viewport should not be split across viewports.

the caption for a table should not be split
across viewports from the rest of the table.

a blockquote should not be split unnecessarily
across viewports if it'll fit on a single viewport.

a list should not be split unnecessarily across
several viewports if it would fit on a single one.

a description term should appear on a viewport with
its description definitions, to the extent possible.

the last paragraph of a chapter shouldn't appear on
a separate viewport from the rest of the chapter.

any two contiguous chunks of text which refer to
each other should be shown on the same viewport.

the cover-page for a document shouldn't be split
across multiple viewports, if at all possible.

a dedication page shouldn't be split across viewports.
Sorry to hijack this thread and I appreciate your response.

Please keep in mind I don't ask about open sourcing the mobile apps to help other developers, rather, it's to help KA. There are lots of contributions and improvements that would be made by the community if given a chance, which would benefit everyone.

Netscape 4 had dynamic HTML entities bound to JS ("&{...};"), which were resolved by the rendering engine. I think, it would have been interesting to revive this approach.

Other, one thing I often observe in ES6 examples is replacing quite complex constructs that could have been expressed much simpler using older JS standards. E.g., "Array.prototype.push.apply(arr1, arr2)", where "arr1.concat(arr2)" would have done fine. Not too sure, what this means for real-life applications, but there's definitely a trend in expressing things in artfully complex ways.
For a non-vim user - can you describe what vimdiff is please?
This is a cool idea, and something I would consider using. Two questions:

- How are you sourcing your translations, and what is your technology solution for matching them up?

- Do you have plans to make a native app for tablets that can store the books locally, or are you going to move ahead with improving your web tool for now?
For sighted users it may be possible to differentiate, but whether "f of x plus 1" or "f times x plus 1" is read aloud is a significant difference.
Estimates of sea level rise are very difficult and always changing. New research suggests that it could be "several meters", as published in a paper a few weeks ago. There is no scientific consensus on how much the sea level "will rise" - since it depends very much on our behavior as a species in the near future.

> Without a sharp reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, the global sea level is likely to increase “several meters over a timescale of 50 to 150 years”

Q&A with the Founder of Zidisha (YC W14)
Two responses:

If there was a flat tax of some sort, you might be able to say "pay their legally required tax bill" in this conversation, but considering that tax dues are the result of a formula derived from a set of laws that span multiple volumes, what is actually due is almost always subject to debate. It's not like paying $3.48 for a gallon of milk.

Second, there are always loopholes. Unless you have a vastly simplified system the way you operate your companies' financials will always have a system where there are advantageous ways to structure finances where taxes are concerned. Moving money offshore is always a possibility. You can't force money to stay in the U.S. You can create an environment such that it's the most desirable place to keep it.

This perfectly summarizes the bitwise-innumeracy of the argument against UUIDs. Even without 128 bit word sizes, most UUIDs are going to be non-matches in their lower bits, assuming a random distribution. There's no computational efficiency gained in the vastly wide critical path here.

Email from the hands free mobility team:

Hi!

So we're at $91,028 Of our $240,000 goal..

We have 24 hours to go and the campaign will not be extended - this is an all-or-nothing campaign.

This is it - right now, we need a miracle.

We DO still have 24 hours. And we DO have 462 amazing and awesome people who care enough to have contributed to the campaign. As well as those who have joined our mailing list and liked our Facebook page recently. Most of the contributions on the campaign so far are small ones, but even the small ones make a really big difference when there's enough of them.

But today we're asking: are you our miracle?

Can you send our campaign to someone who can get it more coverage? Do you know someone who might be able to buy a prototype?

Are you the one that can get us funded today?

Here's the link to our campaign - http://igg.me/at/ogotech

Either way, we'll be in touch after we close to let you know what's happening next.

Hoping for a miracle,

There is no myth. I'm not sure why anyone would think starting a company would be passive for very long.

If you're a U.S. citizen living and working abroad, but spend 35 or more days in the U.S. in a given year, then the answer is - the same amount as if you lived and worked in the U.S. full-time.

"If you’ve never lived abroad for an extended period of time, you probably don’t know the United States requires its citizens to continue to pay taxes back home. You are required to file taxes on foreign income even if you pay taxes in the host countries."[0]

It varies enormously although there tends to be some correlation between the size and cost level of the house and the price of the land it's on. Someone's probably not going to buy a million dollar parcel of land and put a shack on it (even if they were allowed to by zoning--which they probably wouldn't be).

The general rule of thumb is $100-200 a square foot for houses so a fairly typical 2,000 square foot house is going to probably cost in the neighborhood of $300K to build. That assumes the land has water, electricity, sewer/septic, etc.

So for fairly typical exurb/suburban locations (i.e. not Bay area, Manhattan, or back of beyond), the house and the land are probably roughly the same value.
