Clipping an axis-aligned rectangle to another axis-aligned
rectangle produces at most one axis-aligned rectangle.

What if the object in front overlaps only one corner of the one in back? That results in two rectangles.

Or if it's entirely within the outer rect...?

I worked for a listed game company. We often delete inactive account for making a better revenue report. Once an account is deleted，all the money he paid can be immediately confirmed as revenue.
There's actually no contradiction. Marginal tax rates go down 6.2% at 118,500 when social security cuts out, and they only go up about 3% from there to 200k.

It's kind of outrageous, marginal tax rates going down for high earners, but there we are.

But thanks for pointing out that I had the wrong zip code, so I missed NYC income tax, which is 3.65% marginal, bringing average tax rates at 200k to 36%, not 33% (albeit with zero deductions and exemptions, which obviously isn't reasonable, you'll deduct state income tax at the very least and shave off 1.4% immediately).

Your link is in error, it treats Social Security tax as continuing past $118k.
Quite a lot of the population believe all sorts of things about all sorts of things, prejudiced beliefs about "others" being fairly high up on the list.

I know "That which is asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof" and you're totally in the clear here, but it does make me wonder how you'd go about testing that claim (both yours and the GP's)? I mean, from my point of view many media outlets do lean somewhat left but partly because "reality has a left bias" or however the saying goes (although I lean somewhat left, so it may just be my filter bubble).

How do you determine it for even one media outlet? You could maybe do it by vocabulary choice. There are definitely some terms that are used primarily by one side or the other. Or the metric of what issues they try to get their readers outraged about? I've noticed sometimes there's bias not in how stories are covered, but in which stories are covered.

Perhaps it's not possible to do in isolation, but some sort of clustering technique (percentage of readers in common with another outlet as a similarity measure?) would reveal obvious groupings.

Regarding "most", would one weight different media outlets based on their viewership? Or does my local town paper count equally to Fox/whatever in adding "most"?

I guess really I'm just trying to have a more useful discussion than "media are biased left!"->"lol no", but it is actually an interesting question I think, and if anyone has resources about this (this question has definitely been asked before) I'd be interested in links.

If Hillary wins, you'll also be able to ask about your peers' salary, legally - not sure to what extent of course, probably won't apply if you're asking for a level higher than yours - so that the "glass ceiling" might be broken, meaning women in the same job w/the same quals/experience should make the same as men.

Because I have a basic understanding of supply and demand. I even explained how supply of labor was being distorted in my post at both the higher and lower ends of the job market. I think the more appropriate question is how do you not know?
I'm on T-mobile now, but when I was at a previous job that had to work out of a ton of backwoods locations, everyone on the job used Verizon. The huge push they had to expand coverage everywhere combined with the 700Mhz LTE bands they got to ensure good quality through long distances and obstructions, a lot of the people who don't work in big cities love Verizon because it works. As much as I hate their shady practices, they aren't going to be beat in their core market until someone else offers better coverage and reliability.
The rule of law, private property protections, and fair courts count for a lot in the wealth game. China has lots of potential but the politics are too corrupt. Chinese growth is being suppressed, if you can believe it, by corruption.

I totally agree on the education-fifth attitude in the US though. I think attitudes are changing a bit as reality bites those who screwed off in school harder and harder every year. The public schools are still a shambles.

I've almost always been opposed to the forced cultural changes that our industry has dealt with in the past few years - but come one. This wasn't an "off-color remark", it was offensive and I can see no way it could have been intended otherwise.
All of those guys already got paid by the time you sit down at your desk.

The wealth that the GP is talking about is the incremental wealth created by the engineers under consideration. They're taking publicly available things and putting them together in a new way to create something more valuable than the cost of parts and labour.
I keep switching between Firefox and Chrome. I want to be using Firefox, except I cannot.

Chrome is designed for web apps. If you keep several apps open in Firefox, like say Gmail, FastMail, Slack, Gitter, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp Web and Google Music or YouTube, pretty soon Firefox ends up being really, really sluggish. And I keep these apps pinned, and the startup experience for Firefox gets horrible.

Firefox also has problems with many services, where loading a single link can make your whole browser unresponsive for a long time or even crash it.
To see what I mean, load this Travis log in Firefox and compare with Chrome: https://travis-ci.org/monixio/monix/builds/148774867 ; and this is just one sample, there are others that bother me, like the OpenTSDB UI.
Personally I don't keep 200 tabs open, because I'm focusing on just a few at a time. If I want to go back to something valuable, I use bookmarks (or more recently Pinboard.in). This is because tabs are hard to manage and search, unless you have one of those fancy extensions, but I dislike those as well.

On add-ons, I very much appreciate Mozilla having a good review process, but those add-ons have no isolation and everything is allowed to run even in private mode.

The fact is, if I can't comfortably run my web apps in Firefox, I'll keep going back to Chrome. And yes I keep trying using native apps, like Thunderbird and Adium/Pidgin. It isn't working out.

I think that the real problem is that so many people are trying to concentrate into the densest areas. That creates huge pressures, which are reflected in the price of space.

Take a look at the cities with populations below 100K. You will find lots of people who live great lives, despite not being rich. For those of us who grew up in these little island towns, living in a place like Vancouver is downright depressing, regardless of the price.
Correct. They'll also start with dictionaries of a few hundred million passwords which they'll run through fairly quickly. Then they'll use mask attacks as @ximeng said in ascending order of length and complexity.

https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=mask_attack

So it's critically important to enforce length because short passwords will be cracked quickly even with slower hashing algorithms.
President Obama's Executive Action promised relief for legal immigrants stuck in GC backlogs. There seems to have been efforts to remove the backlogs too, but those have not been acted upon. This petition urges to take up on those actions.

The backlogs are getting worser every year. Here is an article postulating that it might take "somewhere between half a century and three and a half centuries" for many legal immigrants to get a GC : http://www.cato.org/blog/no-one-knows-how-long-legal-immigra...

It is interesting to note what this petition does not ask for - it does not ask for increase in H-1B numbers, which by and large is the only legal immigration issue which gets any discussion.

Finally, a video of a meeting of desi-consulting shop heads surfaced recently in which they were scheming to challenge the Executive Action plans so that they can keep legal immigrants on their leash longer and extract profits. Here is the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj1bHpPvSuE

Facebook paid a 36% income tax rate for Q2 2015 to Q1 2016 (I didn't look up the most recent quarter). $7.31b in income before tax, and $2.64b in income tax.

That's very high compared to most of the world. The only other corporations I'm aware of that pay such a high rate, are oil companies like Exxon and Chevron.

>Is people getting served really more important than people's lives?

She wasn't just being served court documents, the police were executing a bench warrant, meaning the police were there to bring her into jail. Moreover, the officers went into this knowing this woman was charged with 4 misdemeanors including resisting arrest, and then she didn't go to court and that is why they were there. Execution of bench warrants is one of the most dangerous jobs of law enforcement, even against non-violent defendants, its probably not good policy to tell officers to execute bench warrants...unless defendants threaten you with violence, in which case, not only don't bring the defendant to jail on the bench warrant but don't charge them with the new crime either.

It would be like saying, is giving a seat belt ticket more important than lives? Of course not, but that doesn't mean pulling a gun on an office is your way out of a traffic ticket.

I noticed that Chrome is more performant when heavy Javascript is involved. Firefox works better with heavy tab usage.

Like you say, Adobe's Flash sandbox (aka "Protected Mode", based on Chrome's sandbox library) only supports 32-bit Windows. Mozilla wrote its own plugin sandbox for 64-bit Windows because we didn't want to Firefox users to lose sandboxing just because they switched from 32-bit to 64-bit. Adobe's and Mozilla's sandboxes don't use all the same mitigations and some Flash content is currently broken in 64-bit Firefox.

Here is the Firefox bug tracking the 64-bit sandbox work:

I can't believe I'm saying this but: this is not a Bitcoin problem, per se. This is a Bitcoin exchange problem. (Bitcoin has many security problems, in the same way that an overweight smoker has many health problems, but that doesn't mean that smoking caused the gunshot wound.)

It's possible to have customer balances of $60 million and not lose them. Thousands of businesses manage this. They suffer $5+ million dollars of damages in less than 0.1% of business-years. (SWAG on a reasonable upper bound-- ask an actuary. This is an insurable risk.) Bitcoin exchanges with this level of deposits sustain $5+ million dollars of damages 20%+ of exchange-years.

Running Bitcoin exchange probably requires $10 million a year in engineering and compliance costs, and consequential changes to the business model with an eye towards a) paying for the actual costs of running the business and b) compromising on other things that users/investors care about, like speed of withdraw, degree of engagement with the regulatory state, and growth rate. Instead of making that tradeoff, Bitcoin businesses continue trying to grow at 100%+ YOY on four, five, or six digit risk budgets. And this works... until it doesn't.

Here the ideological elite is set out to prove that everybody is equally capable, and IQ is a construct. The creation of value is increasingly being replaced by value redistribution among the poorest and value transference among the upper middle classes. In corporations, professional management is replacing value creation with politics and stupid games. Yesterday I watched two people launching a professional DJI Inspire drone. The iPad app for this drone is more complicated than Airbnb or Uber apps. I am not talking about the drone itself.. DJI is a Chinese drone company with a billion dollar revenue. The consequences of these trends will be rather grim for the American economy in 30 years. I expect to get about -7 karma for this , since denial is the crucial part of the problem.
This article has a pretty shallow definition on how China is 'cutting edge' in mobile tech. Apparently cutting edge means:

a.) can do things without switching apps. (?!)

b.) uses QR codes (invented by Japan, popularized by Japan)

c.) pay things on phone (invented by nokia, popularized in europe)

and the dominance confirmed by

a.) a single quote from kik founder (who is trying to convince people qr code is...good?)

b.) bigger mobile user base (well of course, they have more people)

c.) uber lost in china (if you're a foreign company in China and you haven't learned yet Chinese government only lets Chinese companies win, then...)
Can anyone provide some analysis / urban planning snobbishness? What are the disadvantages? Off hand it looks scary to drive under / around. Unlike a bus, one accident can cause the entire line to get backed up. You could say the same thing about subways, but subways can't get into car accidents in the first place.

Furthermore it can only run in places that have wide four lane roads (2 in each direction) to begin with. There's not that many appealing residential places next to loud, busy roads. Is it possible to build practical commuter routes serviced by this type of vehicle?

Of course I'm not a total cynic. If the problems could be hammered out then it will be quick like a subway (no traffic) but much less expensive. I'm curious to see how this experiment pans out.
Separate signal phase, probably. There's plenty of precedent for streetcars to do that.

> There are 10s of thousands of businesses in the US. It's hard to believe there'd be any remotely successful collusion in keeping wages down.

This takes many assumptions: People know of all these businesses. People are able and willing to move at a whim (not so easy with family/friends), people are willing to change their jobs every other month (for a business a job is just a transaction of money vs time, human beings, failed constructions that we are don't see it that simple) and so on. Neither the world nor people are completely rational, so things which work in theory often donThere are 10s of thousands of businesses in the US.

1.) Refreshed my Windows install and got rid off Lenovo crap (auto, just make backup, just make sure you have bckups of settings, incl. gpg keys etc. Documents were totally fine.)

2. Reintroduced a hosts file that redirects a few thousand domains to 0.0.0.0

3. Started using NoScript liberally. IIRC both google front page and search results would poke my processor every few seconds even when left alone. Now Firefox CPU usage is more sane. When you do have a number of search results open at most of the time this can tax even a modern CPU.

It took me quite a while to discover this as I don't know a good way to get pr domain processor usage and I honestly did not belive that Google would let such major performance problems pass QA.

Now I just use Firefox search box (ctrl-k) to get autocomplete.

> East Asia has the highest average IQ on the globe

I'd have to see a vast amount of unbiased supporting evidence to believe such an outlandish claim.

The actual results sure don't indicate that's the case: Japan's 25 year disaster, collapsing standards of living and generally very poorly run economy. Cambodia. Laos. Philippines. Vietnam. North Korea. China's vast poverty and pollution, extremely poor system of government and hyper debt problems. Taiwan has half the standard of living of advanced Western European nations. South Korea's economy is particularly unimpressive compared to the US and much of Western Europe. And of course then there's Eastern Russia, which is a big part of East Asia, no need to elaborate on their condition.

Where's the empirical evidence for such a bold IQ claim? There isn't even scientific production evidence to support it versus the US and Western Europe.
The population is also 4x higher in China than the US.
You're very likely talking about the top 0.1% employees at the top 0.1% of companies.

Every time salary is discussed on HN, inevitably someone brings up this "fact" that engineers are "routinely" making $200K or $300K or $400K or whatever other ridiculous figure. Given average Bay Area software engineer compensation being between $100K and $140K depending on your source, even at $200K we're probably talking at least 1 or 2 standard deviations from the mean. But there's no fighting HN anecdotes. There's always someone here who knows That Guy At Google Who Makes $300K or That Buddy's Roommate That Gets $400K Straight Out Of School At Facebook, and suddenly this turns into "everyone must be earning that much." Come on.

Yes. It is surely possible to work at Google for a decade and end up a multi-millionaire. It's possible to bowl 300, too, and hit 3 hole-in-ones in a row. It's astronomically more likely most people who work at Google or any other software engineering role for a decade will not end up multi-millionaires. Pretending otherwise grossly overstates the (admittedly okay) lifestyles and salaries most tech folks enjoy.
I'm not sure I follow this at all.

I agree with you that there should be restrictions on foreign investors looking to housing as investment. . . at the same time, I am worried that they are being used as scapegoats to avoid addressing much larger structural economic and legislative problems behind the inflationary price increase.

In fact I think these foreign investors are more being attracted by the already inflating prices than actually the culprit in the inflation.
