Income tax for a California resident is quite a bit higher than Dutch income tax for most income brackets.

Dutch income tax more closely resembles the tax bracket in midwest America.

My income tax percent in Holland is slightly lower than it was in the U.S. and my pay is a bit higher than it was in the U.S.

Nice attempt, but:

1. I won't speak for BLM, but protesting in a visible way is not action for action's sake.

2. this is just an old joke. No, those who oppose racism don't think racists are an inferior race. Also, they oppose racism, not racists.

3. Anti-fascists lacked many things, but identity was rarely one of them. Anti-fascists were communists, anarchists, catholics, jews, monarchists... I don't think that there ever was such a thing as an "anti-fascist identity" during the relevant years, and even now, I don't know of anybody who identifies themselves purely as anti-fascist without other connotations.
The Soviet Union was opposed to nationalism and racism, at least nominally. International solidarity and all that. They made a big deal out of (the very real) US racism and oppression in their propaganda.

North Korea is so far out that it's hard to compare it to anything else.

Depends on what you want to do both have strong market demand for very different sorts of programers.

Do you want to work on the web or on a mobile app then SF is the place to be. There is also tons of Machine Learning, and infrastructure companies in SF.

Do you want to work in financial services (market related, not personal as much)? Then go to NYC!

Can you be a web guy in NYC or a financial services guy in sf?You sure can, but each is the land of opportunity for a certain category of programer.
Click through rate is going to vary dramatically by vertical, but just as a very rough comparison, it's not hard to get >1% CTR on mobile Newsfeed ads while years ago on a right-hand side small ad before Newsfeed ads I was always wishing for a consistent .1% CTR.
Yeah, in my case I was far from a sub prime borrower. When everyone's rates adjusted up in the 2007-2009 timeframe mine went down. I was using a responsible mortgage tool. The problem was, people without an 850 credit rating were getting these same loans without great terms upon adjustment.
The trouble with analysis like these is the lack of domain specific knowledge. For instance the author states that it is suspicious that some authorities inspect 100% of food businesses, speculating that new ones must take a while to appear on their radar. In fact new food businesses must register 30 days before they open. I opened a coffee shop in Oxford (the authors city by coincidence) back in 2010. I was inspected the day I opened for business, and many other authorities try to do the same.

Open data is great, but there is always the temptation to assume it includes everything you need to know.
Facebook (and Google) have the best ad products on the market without any question.

I have so many DR clients printing money via FB ads, CTRs are not the metric we even focus on, it is all about conversions or measurement studies to support even investing in the platform. All my clients (big and small) love the platform, ad formats and service level.

Great company, well deserved success.
His 1997 (semi?) biographical film Private Parts is full of lascivious shenanigans that you might expect from a "shock jock", but it's also thoughtful and charming.
I wonder what people's thoughts are about a "crying wolf" type of phenomena developing? What if people just started shrugging their shoulders, and saying if I support Trump and that's fascist, then I'm a fascist, oh well? Kind of like "racism" as a term is starting to lose its sting. People just say, "I thought everyone was racist", and "I thought there is no such thing as race (so therefore you can't be a racist)".

I definitely believe this is happening. The Left is overplaying their hand because their targeted adversary is doing reasonably (and unexpectedly) well. So they are deploying out the big words like "racist" and "sexist" and now, "fascist".

And lots of American voters are reading his platform and policies and thinking, "hmm, that policy seems like common sense - does that mean that (1) the Left is in error in labeling Trump a fascist or (2) I, myself, am a fascist and maybe fascism is not really that bad?"

Ultimately, a single word is too reductive to apply to a candidate and his policies. But lots of voters are too lazy to read or listen to full sentences and paragraphs, so we are locked into these simplifications.
As an aside, I typically associate a single building with the word "factory", and a complex of buildings that work together to manufacture a product a "plant" or "facility". Not sure how common that usage is, or if the distinction really even matters outside these measuring contests.
> But I wonder what their clickthrough-rate is. For some types of ads, that's obviously not the point, but I doubt it's very high.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I don't have a facebook account, so I feel like I have gotten a chance to see facebook develop in leaps and bounds (unlike their users who see it changes incrementally). The way I've experienced this is that I peruse my wife's account for family pictures once every few months. I've definitely noticed an increase in both quality and quantity of ads. Facebook ads strike me like TV ads do. While they often offer clickthroughs, I'm astonished by the number of ads that are simple positional or brand ads that don't necessarily want you to do anything, but are there to stick their brand in your mind.

You know, I am not as aware of these theories as you are so my view is a little bit simpler. In the NYT article you helpfully listed, the insight that the richest folks in India are worse off than some of America's poorest is interesting but a false comparison nonetheless. In my view, comparing the outcome of the poorest class in India, specifically the high unlikelihood of their chances for moving up not to mention getting to America, to the outcome of the poorest class in the US is a more fair comparison. I must clarify that based on my knowledge of that society and this, I find the conclusion in the article a little bit ridiculous but I need to read it carefully again when I have more time.

You have also somewhat misunderstood my statement about systemic, multi-generational oppression of the poor and African Americans in the US: I feel unable to compare in any rational manner this long-term ethnic and class oppression in the US to the Nazi oppression of the Jewish people in Germany. EDIT: the closest thing I can think of is the oppression and discrimination against Jewish people in society prior to the Nazis and its role in driving social outcomes for the Jewish people. For example, in the book Neuro Tribes, the author posited that since medicine and psychiatry were few of the professions open to the Jewish people in Austria, you saw a significant number in that role.

My emotional reaction came about because it was extremely strange for me to see someone blithely compare such blatantly obvious apples and oranges to make a point. I can't understand why that makes sense to you and I still don't. To make a somewhat charged statement about "outcomes": one can argue that Philando Castile had a good outcome in this society until a misguided reach for the wallet per his apparent interpretation of the officer's instructions. The multi-generational set of circumstances that led to "this" (whatever it might be) is what I think you are missing but what I feel unable to communicate clearly.

As a writer and a software engineer, I agree. I think the link between linguistic ability and the kind of analytic work done in software development is strongly underestimated. The enormous amounts of complexity and subtlety required to create beautiful language mirrors the complexity and subtlety required to build beautiful software. It might not be a perfect comparison, but I think at the very least it's an extremely apt one.

I also know, anecdotally, that I am somebody who struggled with "traditional" upper math, yet found the logical thinking required for programming courses appealing. Sometimes, I wonder whether there aren't a large group of "not computer people" or "not math people" (not all, but a subset) who just haven't been exposed to it in a way that lets them realize its similarities to things they ARE good at.

Your points are valid, but that kind misses the major thrust of the argument... which is that facism isn't based on a shared set of common principles or political thought, facism is in the authors opinion not linked to specific beliefs...

as for trump being a facist, i think the primary reason he wouldnt be a facist is he doesnt really seem to have any strong interest in athoratarian centralized power... in fact if anything unless kaisich is actually just flat out lying, he is pretty open about wanting to minimize his day to day control and be more of a symbol for the movement... thats extremely un-facist

TIL I'm very glad I don't work for Stack Overflow and feel very bad for the underpaid devs who do. Apparently, with only 5 years experience, my salary has eclipsed a maxed out 25 year veteran of "5" skill. Not to mention my salary is only about half of my total compensation. I don't say this to brag, but to help raise awareness to the underpaid devs out there. You have to stand up for yourself, realize your value and fight with these companies to pay you what you are really worth.

It's fine to use a SHA2 variant HMAC in PBKDF2 with an obscene, ever-increasing number of rounds, but the scrypt paper [1] provides a detailed justification why you may want to switch to a dedicated password hashing function regardless. To quote their website [2]:

"We estimate that on [circa-2009] hardware, if 5 seconds are spent computing a derived key, the cost of a hardware brute-force attack against scrypt is roughly 4000 times greater than the cost of a similar attack against bcrypt (to find the same password), and 20000 times greater than a similar attack against PBKDF2."

Specifically, PBKDF2 is a tool to produce mostly-okay password storage hash from crypto primitives that are totally unfit for it, while bcrypt, scrypt, Argon2 are purpose-designed to make certain kinds of attacks difficult, like time-memory tradeoffs, parallelized custom hardware attacks, etc.

How to Teach Your Dog to Text Selfies
Out of the year I have been using Keepass I have never had a time where something was wrong that I would need support for.

I am actually not sure what I would need support for either, it seems pretty basic. I am simply storing passwords. It doesn't seem too complicated. And maybe this is because I am a tech person, so maybe I am looking for the more technical reasons why the software may be better rather than how the support excels. Because if keepass had a problem I know ways to get support anyway, either via a Stackexchange site or IRC. So I am definitely a bias group.

However I do not care if the software is open source or not. I know some people do care about that, but the people I talk to do not. People in my age group seem less concerned about open source or closed source.

I'm more curious if there are some kind of features in the product itself that make it better than keepass? I do not have a family so the family cloud version of 1password is not useful, though I would not be opposed to a cloud version of 1password for an individual. I currently store my keepass in dropbox and have that synced to all the devices I use.
What an odd article to be posted on hacker news. Stern is the consumate shape shifting media personality, in turns erudite, vulgar, brash, sensitive - all to keep the listeners tuned in and consuming the ads.

I believe that is the case in some states as well (but not California). They get to repo the house, sell it and then can sue you for the rest you owe.
Samsung S-series appear to have an actually quality edge. Camera -- particular to me; screen; etc.

As for the others... yes. I have concern with China re backdoors, but otherwise, I'm done with the U.S. market and carrier channels, except for Nexus.

I just bought a Xiaomi fitness band directly from Shenzhen. Shipping was a bit ridiculous, percentage-wise, but the band itself was so inexpensive compared to U.S. competition, and it shipped the day it was release to the domestic Chinese market.

Based on that experience, I have no concern with returning to that Shenzhen retailer for a phone, tablet, or whatever else I may want from the Chinese domestic market. And with those items, the air freight cost will be a reasonable percentage of the total purchase cost.

U.S. big business is benefiting from Chinese production costs. Why shouldn't I cut them out of the loop and do so directly, myself?

I don't need their useless mark-up. Nor, in the case of phones and U.S. carriers, their mostly useless and problematic skinning.

"End of Cycle"[1] is mentioned. Key points:

That analysis is missing a important factors. Engine output varies greatly, and they get a lot louder when the vehicle is accelerating hard or going up a hill. And average noise is not very important, peak noise is far more so.

I don't doubt that tire noise dominates on average, but engine noise from big trucks is far louder at peak. At least for the roads near my house, typical traffic is a steady ignorable hum, but when big trucks go by uphill or start moving from a stoplight, they make so much noise I can barely hear myself think.

Cars are similar, usually much smaller in magnitude. Every so often you get some silly person who thinks a bad muffler makes his car fast and compete with the big trucks.

Electrification may not bring down average noise levels much, but it'll still make it a lot more pleasant to be near a busy road.

Soviet Communism, while also a totalitarian system (and thus sharing those features that fascism has not as unique to fascism, but as common to all totalitarianisms) differed in some key ways from that list; notably, while it certainly did not erase pre-existing Russian national pride, embraced internationalism and global class-identity as opposed to glorification of the nation.

Arbitrage != asymmetric information. Arbitrage just means bridging different markets with different prices for the same item. The parties in one market may well be aware that the prices are different in another market, they just can't/won't/don't bother to access the other market.

Information disparity between parties in contrast is referred to as "asymmetric information".

It's shockingly high, especially on Facebook Audience Network (FAN), Facebook's network of 3rd party publishers.

It was so high that I initially thought I was being defrauded. But upon closer inspection, it turns out that if you specify your industry/persona well in your ads, Facebook is incredibly efficient at matching demand with supply. I've never seen such good performance on any other mobile network, Google included.

FWIW, I've only done B2B marketing in my life. I have no idea for B2C folks.
