The Prius in San Francisco has more to do with ride sharing than some stereotypically 'hippy' motivation. That and HOV lane access.

While one can make an argument that ride-sharing can be seen as a 'communal' effort to 'share wealth', the other is entirely selfish.

In reality, they both are.
You only even need to go the debhelper route if you're intending your package to go upstream into Debian or Ubuntu itself. You can go a looooong way with just `DEBIAN/control` and `dpkg-deb --build`.
IMO there exists behavior I'll call "bad faith tax reduction". You might not be doing anything illegal by the letter of the law, but maybe those education expenses you deducted, went to a business you own (or something like that).

An exploitable tax code is like an exploitable software package. Yes, the software gave you everyone's personal information in the database. But maybe it only did that when you ran a buffer overflow attack to escalate your permissions.

Setting aside exact numbers, I figure a decent razor for whether you're being honest is whether you mind other people learning about what your tax return looks like. I deducted my property tax and my mortgage interest; I will tell you that freely. But if I had twelve offshore shell companies scooting money around through various tax loopholes, even though it's not illegal I probably wouldn't want anyone but the IRS to know...
There are some very short descriptions of what each bot does but it's not enough to help me decide if it is what I need. I searched for a JIRA bot to connect to slack but clicking the bot link took me to the install page rather than more info.
TCAS "responses" are only sent during a Resolution Advisory.

Mode-C and Mode-S responses are sent when interrogated by secondary radar. ADS-B transponders with "Extended Squitter" transmit regularly while active, so no need to transmit your own interrogation pulses.

Its possible to monitor Secondary Radar pulses, and Mode C returns. It would require multiple geographically separated receivers to triangulate. I don't think FlightAware supports Mode C, only Mode S(MLAT) and ADS-B.

If you transmitted your own "secondary radar" pulses, the FAA and/or the FCC would probably launch a criminal investigation, with the FBI involved. Making your own "secondary radar" would be pointless and high risk.
Current and future quality of life for myself and others trumps paying lip service to ideals that are never realized.

Given the past ~30 years, saying that is the equivalent of saying you're a Nazi jew, because the Marxist in you likes some principles of national socialism. I still don't get it.
I clicked around the PayScale and IMF pages and could not find how they define "Software Engineer". Is this the same as "Programmer" or "Software Developer"? These titles are quite broad in some places. For example where I sit now, we are all "programmers". However one of our programmers is a CPA + some other certs and spends as much time talking to accountants, lawyers, reading IRS notices as she does spec'ing out and developing software. Is she a "Software Engineer"? I spend most of my time fixing bugs and operating our software systems does that make me a "Software Engineer"? I program a lot sometimes but I'd hardly call what I do engineering. I'm in the U.S. and we don't have formal engineering accreditation for software.

How many of us would approve of that behavior? Keep in mind the hacker is spreading the information not only to prosecutors but to the entire world, and outside of any process sanctioned by the rule of law.

The Panama Papers didn't get uploaded to the internet, it was distributed to journalists. The person who leaked the information was deferring to the judgement of journalists to publish information in a responsible way. It's entirely possible that there is material in the Panama Papers that is exactly what he describes, but we haven't seen it because it's not being published.

The journalists have come up with some criteria about what's responsible here. It might be not be the right criteria, but it does exist.

But, thank you for talk about "Mr. Apology". I think most of the founder here are in a holding position waiting for speaking more about the Startup and idea :). I have found the documentary of "Mr. Apology" when I was searching for audios of confessions and stuff like that. I think that there have something really similar.

It was tested for a smaller audience and it worked very well for many years, I think it helps to show that there is an audience that would like something like that.

The reason people tend to pay less attention to arguments by hypocrites is that arguments are often about tradeoffs that cannot be scientifically computed or discovered purely through rational debate, and actions speak louder than words.

If someone is arguing for tradeoff A, and relying on moral/emotional/somewhat vague arguments for it, whilst simultaneously their actions suggest they actually prefer tradeoff B, then that suggests their proposed weighting of the tradeoffs is actually wrong and thus that their words are not worth very much.

In this case, the Guardian loves to argue that tax avoidance is wrong, using arguments that are vague and emotional at their core (e.g. fairness), but actually engages in it rampantly themselves. Given that actions speak louder than words, that suggests that their proposed tradeoff is perhaps not the right one.

I suggest big parts of Paul's Online Notes to students who need some brush-up or remediation. When I was teaching college precalc, for instance, people usually had a reasonable grasp of y=mx+b but difficulties with exponentiation were almost universal. Some of these "cheat sheets" are useful for such students just to tape above their workspace so that while working through the rote mechanical practice problems they must do they can use the "cheat sheet" as a checklist while they work.

The review of complex numbers, on the other hand (not a cheat sheet but a condensed review) I assign to some masters' students who have not used complex numbers for 2 years and need to recall what they once learned. There it's just a concise but reasonably comprehensive refresher list.
I think this understates it, because necessities take up less of your income, proportionally, as you go up. That person making $30,000/year probably has to save for months or go into debt to buy an Xbox, while the rich person can probably pay for the car up front and hardly even notice it.
"Everyone else", is the idea.

For example, if you wrote the tax law, you could say "let's tax everyone but me"

But if everyone writes the tax law together, nobody will let you exempt yourself, and you won't let them exempt themselves.

Like some kind of law-making standoff.
The Swedish left has gone completely off the rails, to the point where merely addressing a demographic shift gets you accused of spreading "racist propaganda". When the Swedish authorities cover up mass sexual assaults because they were committed by a particular group, that's not propaganda, that's just good work - we wouldn't want those imaginary SS divisions to take advantage of such inconvenient realities.
Many people would disagree with that statement since trading against currency manipulation on a free market is arguably much more benign than running a massive polluting enterprise for decades and funding much of the bad science behind climate denial... (aside from the evidence that the elder Koch built and ran refineries for the Nazis and the Soviets.)
> 3) Fats are bad.

So I subscribed to this for a few years. Cut out a lot of carbs, ate lots of meat, eggs, etc.

And then watched my APO-B (and, by nature, LDL/VLDL) numbers skyrocket to worrisome levels.

Turns out I am APOE-4 (or, more specifically, 3/4) and it's just not that simple.

And it's not a rare thing either - 20%+ of people are likely to be 2/4, 3/4, or 4/4. That's a huge chunk of people to put at risk by all "modern" fad diets proudly proclaiming "fats are not bad for you".

(In truth it's saturated fats that cause issues for APOE4 carriers, but most of what is said following "fats are not bad for you" are usually something along the lines of "so eat eggs, bacon, ground beef etc. every day. It's healthy!"
The human body is pretty adaptable. This guy lost weight and mad his HDL and LDL just eating twinkies.

Ask HN: Launch On-demand startup in small town or large city?
Hi HN,

Let's say I was interested in launching an on-demand startup in a new market.

Should I launch in:

a) A large city, population 1M+, to have the opportunity to grow as fast as possible?

b) A smaller town, population ~50,000, to be able to validate my assumptions and improve my product before I launch in my largest target market?

Cheers

According to Wikipedia, GS made $39.20 billion in revenue in 2015, with $6.08 billion in net income. I'd say a penalty of about half a quarter's worth of revenue and less than one year's worth of profit for being a major player in the greatest financial meltdown in almost 100 years is about as insignificant as it comes.

Imagine if bank robbers were penalized by taking 4/5ths of the profit from only one bank robbery, then released to continue robbing banks.

2. On that note, insulin is a storage hormone. That is it. It is not a fat-hormone. You know what's one of the few hormones that almost all bodybuilders take? Insulin - because it makes their muscles grow.

You get fat because your intake of calories is excessive, regardless of whether its done via carbs or fats.

When houses start at over 1 million even the bottom of the 1% can have trouble buying. Houses are going up 24% year over year which is much higher then you can save money. Condo prices prices are not going up as quickly so they don't work as a good stepping stone. Out in the burbs if you want to be near transit will still be 600-800 for something livable, actually there doesn't seem to be a difference in price between a tear down and something you could live in.

It's true that there aren't many filled out groups yet. If it were an online dating type thing where you have to choose people from a list, then it would be a problem. But placing people into groups is handled automatically, choice is removed from the equation. That's definitely a feature, not a bug. No one in history has ever chosen who their friends from a big list. User's sign up and then forget about it. When they get a notification that people join their group, then they can become active on the platform. I can grow slowly and organically to get to the point where groups fill out and they start hanging out together. Once they do and they really start loving it, I hope it'll pick up a lot.

I think there is already a lot there for people to want to keep using it. First, expanding the group is kind of a slow process (so you're given enough time to become close to people). So if you want to have that expansive network, then you'll keep using it. A lot of the time on dating apps, you're looking for one person and then you're done. But you're allowed (expected) to have multiple friends. So it doesn't end with your first group. Second, I think the group messaging system is pretty solid. You're "born" into, so you don't have to go to Facebook messenger and set up a group there. Third, the activity creator is also really solid. It get's rid of all the back and forth involved in getting people to hang out, so it helps alleviate that pain point too.

I have a lot of other ideas for features to add in the future that will keep people engaged, but I won't get into them here.

> At a big bank like Goldman, a routine part of a banker's or trader's job is running things by the in-house lawyers. By and large that wasn't true for the savings and loans that failed decades ago. And while legal oversight doesn't prevent excessive risk-taking, or buying loans with bad underwriting, it does tend to prevent activities that can be easily prosecuted as criminally fraudulent.

I think this is one of the basic things going on here: this wasn't crime, by and large. This wasn't illegal. People have not understood that. And so they are angry...

How does this compare to a Raspberry PI?
More RAM than the Raspberry Pi 3 and gigabit ethernet for a lower cost. However, my experience with ODroid and CHIP has shown me that having a large developer community is super important. Anybody can whip up a single-board computer using cheap smartphone SoCs, but getting a solid, reliable kernel with open source drivers is far from easy.

For example, I was unable to use V4L with my webcam on CHIP. The install was simple on my RPi. Another - I recently tried to build the dmx_usb kernel driver on an ODroid C1. Nope, their sources are missing a bunch of headers.

Both of these things were absolutely trivial on an RPi. Just install some packages and go.
