If you commit to the idea "I will not bomb civilians", then you offer an enormous advantage to your adversary, who will therefore proceed to make sure civilians are well-distributed in any area of military operation.
> You will pay taxes anywhere your business has an economic nexus. For almost all of you, this will be "where you do the work that earns the money." Importantly, this is not not not not not where your customers are [...]

This seems to be a common belief among entrepreneurs, but all the evidence I have found (and my accountant) point to it not being true, at least not in all states. For example, here is a page from California's FTB web site:

https://www.ftb.ca.gov/businesses/Sales_Factor.shtml

> Jill, a nonresident of California, owns a web design business that she holds as a sole proprietorship. She works from her home out of state but has customers in various states including California. For the 2013 taxable year, Jill's sales receipts from California customers are $300,000 out of the total sales receipts everywhere of $1,000,000. Does Jill have a filing requirement in California?

> Yes, nonresident individuals are taxed on all California source income. Jill's sole proprietorship is carrying on a business in and out of California and will be required to apportion its income to California using UDITPA rules. Under market assignment, sales of services are assigned to California if the purchaser of the service received the benefit of the service in California. Accordingly, $300,000 will be assigned to the California sales factor numerator for Jill's sole proprietorship and Jill would apportion 30% ($300,000 CA sales/$1,000,000 total sales) of its business income from her sole proprietorship to California.

I would love it if you had some evidence you could share that the popular view (you only pay taxes where you do the work) is correct so that I could stop paying taxes in California :)

i think maybe only Swiss here have really sustainable model; others I know are typical socialist let's-make-more-and-more-debt-with-unsustainable-social-benefits (happy to learn if it somewhere else it works and can work in foreseeable future too without creating huge debt, forcing people to work in their late 60' etc).

What Swiss specifically have - we all pay social deductions, within 3 pillars. If you end up unemployed, then you are entitled to 1-2 years of unemployment benefits in 70% of your former income, with some reasonable cap. That is if you worked 100%, in perm contract, at least a year in a row. Otherwise not entitled or payments are much lower.

You have to actively search daily for new job and prove it to your unemployment councilor, otherwise they will cut benefits. Those benefits are really structured in a way to pay you while you are looking for a job, not to have some extra long holidays on everybody's else budget.

Motivating setup, and since there is a social net of that 70% of my income, I am not frightened on the prospect of losing job and needing to store enough cash to live at least X months/years without any income. Handy when one has big fresh loan on his shoulders.

Now I'm wondering whether you are a vegetarian, or whether you pay others to kill animals for a few minutes of eating pleasure.
I was thinking the same thing. As a grey haired sysadmin it's disconcerting to see this blasé attitude toward executing local commands from a remote host.

In a practical sense, I'm not sure it's as bad as it looks. It is https. And if you weren't going to read the source code, it's not really different from downloading the program before executing it. In this case, its a small shell script, so it's easy to glance through the code to make sure it isn't doing anything sketchy. For large code bases, that isn't always feasible, so at some point you have to simply trust the source, whether you install from a tarball or (ugh) let a shell execute commands from a remote host.

Also, if you're the kind of sysadmin that fires up a VM or a container any time you want to experiment with a new piece of software, you can afford to take risks. At worst, they'll steal your public key.

It does seem like a bad habit. If you get used to sh+curl install legitimate projects, it isn't such a stretch to sh+curl miscellaneous suggestions on forums.

I work in the industry, but have no knowledge of those particular Bosch/VW projects.

Yes the Tier-1 supplier is responsible for building the final software image that runs on their ECU, and for some smaller OEMs the Tier-1 will write all the application software in addition to the basic platform software. However, it's not unusual for the bigger OEMs (such as VW) to develop parts of the application software themselves and provide it as object code for the Tier-1 supplier to link. This is effectively a black box as far as the Tier-1 is concerned.
I kind of agree

"Not having an online presence" makes as much sense as "not having a presence at the pub" or "refusing to talk to people as a principle - isn't that so 'awesome'?"

It's fine, you don't need to be on every silly new 2.0 dot com, no issue there.

But you're shutting yourself out of a means of communication with other people. The fact that it involved technology is a detail

You can go to the pub and not drink, you can use FB with a fake name and not do anything with it and you can choose an email provider that suits you, but shutting yourself out does not make sense
As I mentioned in an earlier story this week about the rumour of an antitrust action, this is very reminiscent of the Microsoft antitrust bundling convictions.

This seems to be the crux from the EU commission fact-sheet [0]:

"Android is an open-source system, meaning that it can be freely used and developed by anyone to create a modified mobile operating system (a so-called "Android fork"). The open-source model of course does not raise competition concerns – on the contrary. The Commission's concerns relate to the conditions for use of Google's proprietary apps and services on Android devices, which are not open source.

In particular, if a manufacturer wishes to pre-install Google proprietary apps, including Google Play Store and Google Search, on any of its devices, Google requires it to enter into an "Anti-Fragmentation Agreement" that commits it not to sell devices running on Android forks.

EU antitrust rules allow dominant companies to put in place restrictions only when they are objectively justified. However, to date, Google has not been able to show this in relation to the restrictions in the "Anti-Fragmentation Agreements".

The documents in the case are at [1].

I'm conflicted on this from a practical point of view. It seems fairly clear to me that Android has got better the more Google asserts control. OEMs and carriers can't be trusted not to screw things up and the consumer tends to suffer.

Whilst there's good arguments in favour of forcing Google to allow alternative search, email etc services to be installed - I suspect it will result in a worse user experience for most people.

Why not let it download fully and run the virus scanner on it? You won't get a virus just downloading a file in up-to-date Chrome.
I've seen teams rely only on Slack for communication, including technical discussions.

I don't get it, and I'm concerned about the following:

1. proprietary service with no interoperability and high potential for loss of records

2. important technical details/arguments hidden in a chat log and not made part of a ticket/commit/comment

3. removal of async communication leading to more interruptions and less async emails one has thought about before responding

4. teams boasting the use of 10 or more channels

There are other issues with relying solely on Slack and killing off email, but these are the most important ones that always come up when I'm confronted with a Slack-only team.

I've had the same issue with IRC, so it's not my kind of communication medium to monitor 24/7, whereas I love bulk responding to emails and often ponder about a response for a while.

If there's something urgent, one picks up the phone, and usually one thinks twice before calling (interrupting) someone.

Using proper email threads, ticket discussions, etc. give you an electronic trail of the technical decision, and that's also why Fossil's inclusion of a distributed ticket system is such a great idea. Two years later, you can easily inspect how the code evolved and why it did in a certain way.

How do dev teams cope with Slack? I couldn't work without async email and use real time communications (text or voice) only on demand, in order to limit interruptions.
When I was a youngin' browsing BBSes in the 90s, I remember distinctly encountering a text guide to "the art of disappearing", essentially getting off the grid as Stephen Fry mentions. It involved a whole bunch of seemingly paranoid steps, like burning your passport, and booking your flight (one-way) with cash. I also remember thinking to myself how silly the whole concept was - why would I ever want to do something like that?

These days, I'm realizing more and more that it doesn't sound that crazy in this increasingly dystopian world.
Goodness me, that's a lot of bloviation. I think there's a point buried in there somewhere that has been made far more succinctly by a lot of other people.
> The most outspoken people against both aren't from the countryside, have never kept cattle or been on hunts, don't understand (or want to think too much) about the issues involved, but know that badgers and foxes are cute.

You have your point, but is a common and too simplistic interpretation. We need to repeat this more: To have cattle or being able to shoot a rabbit is irrelevant and not a guarantee at all to understand science or modern biology. Seriously.

Radically new ideas (like for example that wolves will generate money and provide basic services valued in millions of dollars, or that if you kill the alpha wolf in a pack there is an increase, not a decrease to cattle damages, or that to cull badgers will spread faster the cattle diseases that you want to stop and thus is a questionable investment of public money)... all those knowledge is generated normally in universities, placed in big cities, after years of painfully slow research done by experts in zoology, chemistry, genetics...

And I'm talking of real experts. Some of the most fantastic environmental fails were incubated in the local pub by farmers and hunters that lobby to push the local silly politician hunting for votes. Or by people that do not understand how biology works. (Ask the Chinese people about the failure of the big sparrow cull in Mao times, for example).

Farmers are experts in breeding cattle. Point. Not more, not less. Basic concepts in biology are often terribly misunderstood or just ignored stubbornly by them for decades, and there is a big inertia in small villages to accept changes. For some reason, all people are instead ready to follow the local hero, with his myth based ideas, and often lose money by this.
He's such an amazingly good writer.
> but because its much cheaper the the alternative

But it isn't. A fifth of the UK working age population, for example, is neither registered as unemployed or earning money. Most of them aren't homeless, or entitled to disability benefits and aren't registered as unemployed because for whatever reason they don't need the money. All of them would be eligible for basic income.

You can afford to provide much better support for homeless people (many of whose bigger problems cannot be addressed simply by providing them with a regular income) if your budget isn't being stretched by the need to subsidise the perceived basic needs of huge numbers of content people that aren't actually interested in claiming subsidies.

My wife was wondering whether this can be considered 100% healthy: don't you need plastic to reach a very high temperature to model it that way? Doesn't it start releasing whatever thing that might be carcinogenic or such?
Thanks. Either Getharvest or Planscope. Both are looking good.
I agree. This is very frustrating and shows a lack of respect for the reader (not picking on this article, there are many worse examples). I'm not sure it's a necessary part of "longform" medium. One just needs to put their damn point in the first paragraph.
That is likely a large part of it at least (reaching 120g/km in consumption is very important).

BUT the CO2 emissions is proportional to the fuel consumption. There is (very simplified) only one way to get both better performance and lower consumption from an internal compbustion engine, and that is to increase the temperature of the combustion. This gives higher power output and lower consumption and thus lower CO2 emission.

For diesel engines increasing temperature has the drawback of producing NOx emissions. In order to reduce NOx emissions, the combustion must be cooler/fatter so uses more fuel and/or provides less power. The hack that VW did was to use a profile for the fuel mixture that produces low NOx and low power when it detects that it is being measured. Otherwise it produces high power, and low consumption.

Using the cooler/fatter fuel mixing is a simple way of cutting NOx, but it also gives worse fuel consumption and power. For engines without urea devices, there is (as far as I can see) no possible workaround. They will have to either make hardware changes to the cars or make a software fix that reduces performance and increases consumption.

In fact, Slack users have reported an average of 50% reduction of internal email (source: https://slack.com/results). But you're right, Slack is a closed system, and thus it cannot really replace email when used for external communications.

This is where Fleep comes in - a messenger that works with email, too. You can include anyone in a conversation with their email address, and if they're not a Fleep user yet, they can participate in the conversation via email. Fleep: https://fleep.io/

Why does the manager have to be paid more?
you don't get it? basic income IS communism, we/they also had a guaranteed income because everybody had to have a job (=income), even if the job didn't make sense.

elites (political in communism vs actually still working people in BI scenario) have amazing life with various luxuries. rest will be allowed to exist and not die of starvation and have a lousy place for sleep. truly bright future...

I don't see that term being abused very much. Is there an endemic of people using the term "abstract" like a child that I'm unaware of?
For the first, IRC has a solution for that, too.

1. SASL auth – some servers even support Oauth via SASL, or certificate login.

2. That’s what Quassel and IRCCloud provide as a one-click solution.

3. With everyone using Quassel or IRCCloud, this also becomes easy.

4. There are many services that provide webhook -> IRC services ;)

As someone who has been using Quassel, where everyone else uses Quassel, and who uses SASL auth, all the issues you mentioned stopped existing long ago.

Add the expense of Slack, and one seriously wonders if it’s just discoverability.
"Those very politicians, advertisers, media moguls, corporates and journalists who thought the internet a passing fad have moved in and grabbed the land. They have all the reach, scope, power and ‘social bandwidth’ there is. Everyone else is squeezed out — given little hutches, plastic megaphones and a pretence of autonomy and connectivity. No wonder so many have become so rude, resentful, threatening and unkind.

The radical alternative now must be to jack out of the matrix, to go off the grid."

This is awfully regressive, but not only that; it's also foolish. If his point is that by going 'Off The Grid' you can escape these people, he's out of luck- these people are AFK as well as online. Try walking through a major city without seeing a single advert.

If you want to get away from all the shit on the internet, the only way is forwards, not backwards.

LESSONS LEARNED IN GROWING a PRODUCT
With speech-to-text yet struggling on my iPhone to distinguish between what I said and what it figured I said.

I have very very good success with speech-to-text. This is for everyday communication using iMessage, not for anything technical. The secret is that I have slightly modified my speech:

Just. Pretend. You. Are. William. Shatner. And. You. Simply. Speak. Staccato. (Ie, with very short pauses between words). Of course you also need good internet connectivity, because all the hard stuff is being done in the cloud.

I find that speaking into my phone is much faster than typing on the tiny keyboard.

Also, there are two parts involved with Siri:

- first is speech to text, parsing individual words

- second is the AI, what do those words mean?

The second part can sometimes be problematic.
I think reasons are a lot more interesting than excuses. Autobahn has been a highly effective marketing stunt for decades, now it's biting them back because it makes it quite difficult to do a top-down EV introduction like Tesla is doing.

I think it was about building a lot, fast, since much was destroyed during the wars. At least that was the case in Germany, I don't know how much was down in Norway.

I live in a house from the 50s, and it shows - you never know what you'll find in the walls (stone, wood, straw, mud..) since they built it with whatever they had. Some cables go diagonal within the walls to save material.
I never understood the purpose of markdown editors. Isn't the main selling point that markdown is a human readable plain text format (i.e., vim will do/you don't need preview)?
Of all the countries I have visited as a tourist, I felt Thailand was the most overrated because of all this. It's surreal to see busy people in train stations at rush hour stop for the anthem, which as I saw later in the cinema is basically a dystopian hail to the king deal (I was continually reminded of Borat's anthem, especially the last line). Add to that the people prostrating themselves at monks' feet on busy streets, the schoolboys with all identical shortcropped hair, and then the old white men with young girls draped around them. Everything just had an evil vibe and I couldnt wait to leave (and they even made me pay an exit fee at the airport!).

Precisely. You don't have to be on every new fad website or app, broadcasting your every motion to the rest of the world. But you don't need to go to the extreme of not having email or walking to a library instead of using the amazing repository of information that is the internet.

I think this has much to do with the US infatuation with, and fear of, litigation (as well as the relationship between expert witnesses and the court system) as any psychological phenomenon. In other words, I think the explanation is sociological more than psychological.
