Why would we care if someone accepts the costs or not? I find our justice system to be incredibly flawed, but ultimately we jail people because we (as a society) don't want the action they committed to take place. The mentality you seem to be espousing seems to ignore that for... reasons?

So if we're willing to say a specific action is worth jailing someone for the rest of their life, why shouldn't we say "This action is not okay and we're going to do our best to prevent it"?

The mere existence of a connection is likely to be the most interesting bit of information to law enforcement. There's been at least one case (that of Jeremy Hammond) where they determined someone's identity by correlating their connections and disconnections to their comings and goings from their house.
Yes, in a manner of speaking; physical or virtual lab. At googles scale it wouldn't be unreasonable to have a completely parallel, but scaled back, network where they test their automation and code for happy and sad path.

That doesn't mean that bugs can't creep in. Who knows, maybe these were all extremely unlikely bugs and Google hit an astronomically unlikely bad-luck streak. Happens.

Are you heavily focused on getting a book, because there can be a few downsides to that, the most important being losing out on a lot of changes the language is going through. A video course sounds like a much better option. Anyway, I would recommend the entire series of You don't know JS by Kyle Simpson. I would recommend the video courses by him as well. You can find them on frontendmasters.com

LinkedIn isn't for networking with new people, it's for retaining professional contacts. Think of it like a professional rolodex where people keep up to date resumes.

I personally know plenty of past coworkers who I respect and would gladly recommend in a heartbeat. LinkedIn is the perfect way for them to see that I work at the company they want to work at, and gives them a frictionless way to send me a message despite us not being actual friends.

If you don't find enough value in that, then maybe LinkedIn isn't for you.

> It has been nearly a decade since I last ran Linux on my desktop (I think I might have been Ubuntu 6.06 actually), and this exactly sounds like my experience.

I know it's hard to believe but things have changed a huge amount for the better in 10yrs.

My current Thinkpad has no driver/hardware issues at all. Suspend/resume is solid, auto updating of display changes on the fly works fine etc - it works better than a lot of Windows laptops I've owned or borrowed over the years.

- jeremy left after a MONTH, never went through the YC interview with kyle

- >>> jeremy never signed any agreement over equity breakdown, etc <<<

- jeremy never inquired about equity when kyle raised previous rounds, only after the $1b exit.

pretty straightforward.
I'll completely agree that the analogy is imperfect. Yet it only has to stretch this far: it's just as bad an idea for a mall to literally vet every item sold by its retail occupants as it would be for Amazon.

In fact, no retailer does this. Consider any direct seller of a wide assortment of retail goods, e.g. Home Depot, Walmart, etc. None of these have rigorously "vetted" every item that comes through their doors. They certainly get problematic goods, and deal with that after-the-fact two ways: to purchasers via customer returns and support policies, and to suppliers via feedback into their supplier relationships (give us bad stuff, our $$ go elsewhere; contracts; etc.).

The idea that a retailer should be held a priori accountable for third-party goods it sells smacks of the same kind of thinking that suggests ISPs should be held accountable for third-party content flowing across their networks.
50% of units sold, not 50% of products listed.

As mentioned, Amazon tends to list the top 10 products in most categories, so naturally they'll get a lot of units sold, but the overwhelming majority of all products listed on Amazon.com are 3rd party sellers.

You can look for yourself, it's fairly obvious.
Several of the Republican Presidential candidates support drastically simplifying the tax code. Tax code simplification has extremely wide support among the Republican base.

The lack of support very likely has more to do with who is presenting it and the approach used.

That doesn't account for the access driven by the decrease in the price of housing that comes from removing the artificial credit subsidy. What you might call a "second-order" effect, though because it's an effect of "doing nothing" it's both more natural and more efficient.

If anything, driving up prices(by subsidizing credit) such that houses can only be bought on credit and not outright does the most to increase housing inequities! Cuz we all know how that shit works :/
Current tax code is completely antiquated and way more complicated than it should be.

While of course the more money you make the more you pay, generally the effective tax rate is signanfncitly lower for higher net worth individuals. This is due to loopholes, business expenses, and various writeoffs.

For example, I just did my taxes and my effective rate was 18% (I am not wealthy, but above the average income level).
Journalist Matthew Keys sentenced to 2 years in hacking case
People who are against outsourcing of jobs because it hurts workers have what appears to me to be a small view of the set of humanity that matters. I don't see any particular reason why workers in the US are more entitled to good jobs than workers in other countries. There is no force more powerful for improving the quality of life and well-being of _billions_ of people than economic development, of which foreign investment is one of the best sources.

I want to see a world where there aren't poor countries and rich countries, but rather a global economy where someone born in (e.g.) Africa has opportunity and education similar to someone born in the US. Once this is accomplished (and the challenges in front of us for doing so are enormous!), outsourced jobs won't be a problem.

Rather than being opposed to trade and globalization (which are, frankly, unstoppable) we should be focused on mitigating losses for those affected. Erecting barriers to trade will only make US industry uncompetitive, our economy smaller, and those same workers, ultimately, worse off.
I agree with you based on the data you're giving. It would seem like a PC stunt to add her to the same list as those people. I'm also saying this as a gripe at Forbes rather than critiquing her work. Just seems like a different category.
This is not about simplifying the tax code. This is about filing returns.
Hawking unveils space exploration program through “nanocrafts”
The way student loans were before...

No.

Tuition went up to compensate for the removal of state subsidizing tuition. Almost 1:1. In fact, with the removal of state support, we're merely seeing the true costs of school for the first time.

Loans got nutty because of unnecessary privatization and deregulation. But rent seeking, so it was inevitable, right?

Once tuitions were nutty, parents demanded value for their dollar, begatting grade inflation and transmuting dorms into resort hotels, fueling continued rising costs.

Source: Worked in higher ed. This is common knowledge.

(I don't know enough to explain the textbook racket. Collusion?)

--

mortgage interest deductions have a similarly terrible effect on housing...

No.

Scarcity caused by NIMBY land use policy is driving up housing costs. The fix is aggressive upzoning.

Source: Help friends who work on affordable housing policy. This is common knowledge.

In conclusion, yes, simplistic Freedom Markets (tm) explanations are seductive. But they're also mostly wrong. Tuition and loans went bonkers when government pulled out of the business, allowing the predators to take over.
The Never Ending GTLD Saga
This would just paper over the fact that the US tax code is an abomination of deductions and credits. It would not simplify any of the magic math; it would just make most people think they are getting the right credits.

Would it actually give people all the deductions and credits they could get through a detailed analysis? I highly doubt it. TurboTax doesn't ask 1000 questions for fun; most of them matter because of the insanity of our tax code.

It would probably put turbo-tax out of business though, this is true. The default, free, option is going to win against a paid product.

All this will accomplish is making sure that tax preparation is back where it was two decades ago -- where the Actually Wealthy hire a person to do their taxes and get the right deductions, and everyone else gets stuck with an opaque bill which they can't afford to assess for accuracy. This is a far more regressive system than what we have now.

Don't accuse me of being a TurboTax shill. I have nothing to do with them, besides doing many hours of complex taxes which would have cost far more in-person than with TurboTax (and no, I'm not under any circumstances blindly entrusting the IRS with correctly calculating ISO AMT nonsense.)
It is not effort. It was just a fun :)
I looked up what I classified your application under and yes you were right it was existing players.

The comments on your application really hammered two points - 1. What is about your product that is 10x better than everything else and 2. Can you deliver on your promises. You need to have much better answers of why your product is 10x better than all the alternatives and how you will ensure you deliver. This is really hard I know in this area, but it is critical to your success.
I've been meaning to do that! I'll definitely move it up the priority list.

I had intended the api to be entirely programmatic and allow others to build GUIs for how they wanted, say, font size drop downs to look. I could host the test html page I've been testing it with. It exposes some random styling buttons and visualizes the data model below the rendered text.

> This happens to any good or service that everyone needs but that we stubbornly refuse to fund publically.

It also happens to any good or service we decide to fund publicly: the civil servants' unions which provide it insure that their members capture as much money as they can.

Providing it publicly doesn't at all mean that it will be provided cheaply.
I'm wondering what you thought the worse omissions on it were. I've used IdeaVim on Android Studio, and find it passable, if not great. My main beefs that I can think of right now are that my vimrc commands for leader+j and k mapping to 10j and k don't work, and it sometimes messes up the spacing on blank lines, causing the { and } jumps to not work right. I'm pretty sure the cursor changing on mode switch worked right for me.

Maybe check for updates? They do seem to update it semi-regularly - I think they fixed the number-gt command within the last 6 months or so.
If GM legal team is like legal teams I worked with in big companies then Jeremy name will definitely surface. And GM will ask guarantees that Jeremy will not pop up after acquisition is finished.

Depending on the situation some lawyer might even suggest to Jeremy to be quiet till acquisition is finished and then the law firm will hit GM with lawsuit.

So I think Jeremy signature is needed for acquisition to go thru and he probably asks a little more $$ for his signature than Cruise investors are willing to fork.
From the ones done on me for bog standard tests in the last dozen years or more, that wasn't done, but the extra gunk in the vial just might be intended to grab the contaminants as well as stabilize the blood. Or maybe these more standard tests allow for whatever amount of contamination is in the drawn blood, suppose it's 2-3 orders of magnitude less.

Many of us have spare raspberry pis laying around that could be utilized in a global network.

All of the things you've listed can be done with simple, small, and straightforward scripts.

To check for versions of Django, and other libraries, you write simple scripts to test for them. Run them in unit tests, and as a pre-check stage in deployment scripts.

Our apps do keep running if any single VM goes down. We don't need Kubernetes or anything to handle that. Just a load balancer and an ElasticSearch cluster.

Dev hosts obviously have different passwords read from config files only present in development systems.

"One of those tests, a blood-coagulation test known as prothrombin time, measures how long it takes blood to clot and is often used by doctors to determine which dosage of the blood thinner warfarin to give patients.

Wrong prothrombin time results could cause doctors to prescribe too little or too much warfarin. Too much of the drug, also known by its brand name Coumadin, can cause fatal bleeding, while too little can leave patients vulnerable to clots and strokes, according to medical experts."

Huge free market failure here. Thank god we still have some working government regulation in this country.
There is something that's called fail safe(ly). In case of any error inside the car, it should sowly decelerate and pull over. Sure, it will cause a lot of traffic problems if say 10% of all cars did that at the same time but the damage would not be as severe as a ghost driver entering the freeway with 140mph.

There are a few instances where some bad tesla batteries (the standard 12 volt batteries ironically) failed, and the cars handled it perfectly. It slowed down so that the driver could do safely pull over. Sure it did not happen to all cars at once, and autonomous cars migh not be able to do that by themselves but we have a log way to go to reach 100% autonomous driving (i.e. Without a steering wheel and a car that drives everywhere humans drive and not only on San Francisco's perfect sunny roads where it's been thoroughly tested on).

The Republican presidential candidates support “tax simplification” in a way which shifts the distribution of tax burden away from the wealthy and corporate interests, and toward the middle class, or in some cases shrinks the tax base, making up the budget shortfall by cutting social programs.

That’s not really comparable to this proposal, which doesn‘t change who pays the taxes, and doesn’t rewrite the tax code, but just makes the paperwork more convenient for everyone.

Now imagine software engineers at Amazon, Netflix or wherever they are being treated unfairly had the chutzpah to stage a massive walk out, where suddenly the collective objective of the union becomes more important than continued employment under the current conditions, whatever those may be?

Yes, this kind of collective bargaining can be abused selfishly, but if you don't even have this kind of unity as engineers, then I ask you - how will you find out what is possible if you don't put up a fight through the best means known to man - mass disobedience and non-cooperation?

Look in the mirror, dear colleagues, and ask yourselves tonight - what do these Verizon workers have that I do not? Whom do I have to be so I can inspire my peers to follow my example rather than have them only look out for #1? What sacrifice do I/we have to make individually to contribute to the betterment of the whole? How will I tighten my and my family's belt next week, month or a year down the road so that this kind of action becomes possible?

Yes, you may be fired for this, or worse, bribed or promoted to get you to back down. Hell, you may even be killed, Hoffa style.

The question then becomes - what is sacred and sancrosanct to me? What do I value more than my own life?

There is no heuristic, no algorithm to answer this for you. It's just the mirror and whatever higher cause you believe in.

What a great PR piece for Warren... but unfortunately this is just smoke and mirrors.

This does +absolutely nothing+ to simplify the tax code, this is solely about "simplifying" tax preparation and filing.

It makes it easier to file online for free, and makes it so the IRS can't get in bed with Intuit, HR Block, etc.

Neutral probably, might affect costs at IRS, but I would imagine relatively little change in revenue.

The hiccup could be if people were consistently overestimating their taxes, but it looks as though for the median citizen that's unlikely (most people don't itemize and take the standard deduction at that income level).
"All this will accomplish is making sure that tax preparation is back where it was two decades ago -- where the Actually Wealthy hire a person to do their taxes and get the right deductions, and everyone else gets stuck with an opaque bill which they can't afford to assess for accuracy.

This is where it is now - plus the non wealthy end up paying TurboTax $200. This bill would save them the $200.

Your problem is:

1. Great senior devs are actually rare, so yeah, you won't just have them flowing into your applicant queue no matter who you are.

2. You're not just looking for great senior devs, you're looking for great senior devs who hold certain ideological positions, which is going to narrow your pool much further.

Lots and lots of senior devs have been through the OO design stuff and come out the other side. Like a lot of people, I read and used a ton of design patterns stuff back when I was working in Java around the turn of the century, and nowadays think of OO design as an antipattern to be avoided, with a strong preference toward functionally-oriented code.

Same thing with the XP/agile stuff. Been there, done that, kept what worked and abandoned what didn't. I wouldn't want to apply for a place that had an ideological commitment to strong XP principles and thought of people with other opinions as being in need of "training up."

And maybe you don't want people like me working for you; that's fine, you've got your vision of your OO/XP workplace and you don't want people who don't buy in fully. But don't be surprised when you can't find people who combine strong ability, a lot of experience, and a particular type of tech ideology.
