I'm not saying your car is a status symbol, but there's status at every price point. Someone might not need a car, but the status of owning one could push them over the edge. Do Kia and Civic have paint and trim options that cost extra? Status. Does a new Civic loose value as soon as its purchased because no other buy will be able to say they bought it new? Status.
I think OP is saying it dropped to 2% from 100%. If you remove the "about" and think about it as an estimate, and focus on the "to"... it makes more sense: "Dropping my speed to ~2% of what it was initially".
>As soon as you have enough money to afford it

Well it must be an obscenely large amount of money. My wife (a college professor) and I (IT Manager) are nowhere near being able to take advantage of these amazing loopholes. We pay federal tax, state tax and 2 local taxes (one for the village we live in and one for the village where my wife's college is located). Don't forget sales tax on literally every item we purchase. Property tax is a killer as well. Then there are the payments that are deducted from our paychecks to go into Social Security (which we have no guarantee will even exist by the time we retire). We also pay an enormous amount for medical care, fees for our kids public primary school costs, huge amounts for our son's college, etc.

So, we pay a large number of taxes (I didn't even touch on all of them), risk catastrophic financial collapse if we get very ill or badly injured, have to spend obscene amounts of money on education and do NOT have access to whatever loopholes you imagine we have (well, probably someone like Donald Trump does but not normal people, or even slightly better off people).
Of course! I am so tired of seeing posts filled with microaggression, totally violating my safe space. Just make sure that recommendation engine doesn't brake, or horrible things may happen:

I had previously contracted for Infinera working on their NMS suite. My contribution was a PoC running on D3 and Angular, using Semantic Topology that allows users to navigate any node or link in their network with zero clicks (scrolling and panning gets them anywhere à la Google Maps).

The hardest, most time-consuming part was prototyping because the tools out there (Framer, Principle, Quartz Composer, Adobe XD etc) are all optimized to work with lists and grids, not visualisations. I ended up creating three fully-functional prototypes in HTML and JS before finalizing on one. It was hard to get good feedback from the teams without live, interactive prototypes. There is also nothing like a standard library of well-designed components that can be grouped together to quickly mockup custom visualizations, like we have in Bootstrap for HTML frontends.

Another problem was performance; Angular, out-of-the-box, could not keep up with the amount of data coming through their pipes.

All in all, it was challenging and very, very fun to do. When it finally worked and people got their hands on it, it blew everyone away. If I were to do it all over again, I’d focus a lot more on explaining the challenges and setting realistic expectations. Custom visualisations are not 5-minute WordPress installs.

Why are you allowing such large pulls?

Everyone who complains about githubs pull request UI always has the same root cause, huge, long lived reviews.

I have a feeling that people tend to underestimate the role of "semi-trusted" actors in the future of cryptoeconomics.

In other words, I think that indeed most interesting applications won't be pure on-chain algorithms. The computational power is extremely limited. On-chain bookkeeping is extremely useful as a base layer, but the real intelligence will always have to come from elsewhere.

(For these reasons, many of my blockchain friends consider "smart contract" a pretty stupid catchphrase, preferring instead to talk about e.g. "dumb durable software objects".)

So, for example, consider an insurance contract structured as a "DAO", where some combination of stake and reputation translates to influence in investment decisions. Obviously there could be enormous problems with that, but it's also an interesting possibility, and I predict that such experiments will keep happening and we will learn more about collective decision-making etc.
I think he wants people to hurry and buy it now before it goes up, rather than holding off and wait until it gets cheap enough.

That's a classical business move, like any "time limited sale", force people to buy it right now before they have the time to think whether they need it or not.
Every company wants to build their own racket e.g. Acceptable Ads manifestó.

It's incredibly powerful. The President can actually pardon entire classes of people. Carter issued a pardon to all draft dodgers. Ford had previously issued a limited pardon to some.

Obama could actually commute the sentences of everyone serving a sentence strictly for marijuana possession to time served.
Fun site, the magic is this one line:

" Need a custom logo? Let’s chat! yo@metafizzy.co "

The chance of you needing one of the pre-existing logos is small, the chance of needing a logo period is higher, and seeing the portfolio of logos gives you a starting point to imagine things.

The only negative is that it might anchor you emotionally to a lower than average price if the current logo price is small enough.

The web site concept though seems to be exactly like a clothing store putting last years clothes out on the side walk for "cheap" and just getting people walking by to think about it and come in and browse. Which solves Internet company problem #1, "Nobody knows I exist."
Really? I can only see a heavily compressed jpg that uses 345kb, the page has nothing else on it. High compression is probably a bad idea if you're trying to show off the superior quality of your photos and videos.
That's nonsense.

Modern science is based on gathering information and forming ideas and hypotheses around it. The origins of matter and energy are an active area of investigation, not a guilty secret.
I thought the same thing. Who would buy a model S with such a small battery and why the weird P at the beginning?

It would weaken the incentives against leaking national-security information. Of course, that assumes one cares about national security; if one doesn't, then that's irrelevant.

Given that the U.S. — whatever its faults and flaws — is the only guarantor of international order, though, a weakened U.S. is sure to lead to more international conflict.

Merely unblocking ads is not enough! If you don't buy the products advertised on every website you read, you are unethical.
Sorry for not replying earlier, but we deployed an app to a big government department and I've been working an obscene number of hours.

This is a truly excellent response and I especially appreciate your examples. They illuminated two very important things to me:

1.) Sometimes, when we look back at our success or failures, we tend to attribute them to those things that are most favourable to us.

2.) Sometimes people who reach great heights get there at the expense of their friends or family. I would love to find some research on how divorce rates change depending upon career success.

Thanks again for your excellent comment!
Please allow me to link to a obligatory XKCD to lighten the subject https://xkcd.com/261/

The master plan reference is inspired by Elon Musk. We can't compare us or our plans with him. But we're inspired that his master plans are public https://www.tesla.com/blog/master-plan-part-deux just like ours.

As long as one of those commands is a compose key, I'd be fine with it.
I'm not entirely sure I get all of these arguments. It sounds like someone complaining about the language being young, and the early implementations aren't perfect.

For not being perfect, it's amazing how awesome the std lib is!

Also, the concurrent collections didn't show up in Java until 1.5, I believe. I think that was ten years into the life of the language, which was after the 1.3/4 releases which actually made the JVM substantially more performant.

Rust is young, concurrent data models are hard, but it is being worked on, and you can lend a hand! There are good points in this article, and some of them are being discussed on the Rust forums. This is a great time to be involved in helping shape a language and its libraries!
>It is one way. So, given a hash it is hard to derive original input.

This is the definition of a Hash Function. Not a cryptographic Hash Function.

Cryptographic Hashes should NEVER collide, on any inputs, ever, period. The moment it is found too, the algorithm is considered depreciated. This is why MD5 shouldn't be used anymore, there is a generalized algorithm for producing collisions.

Cryptographic hashes are overkill for HashTables/HashMaps because you can't use 128/256/512bit address spaces unless your attempt to store all the information in the galaxy or observable universe. And modern computers just aren't there yet. Also they are very slow.

So when your masking a 512bit output, down to 16bits of your HashTable you just lose the will never collide guarantee. Then something that operates at 10GB/s, and can collide sounds better then something that runs at 150MB/s and will still collide anyways.

I have a 2011 model that I swapped an SSD into a few months back. I cleaned it out at that time as well. The fan's so damn noisy that the OTHER person on Skype can't hear me. The fans are on probably about 70% of the time I'm using the machine, and often I have to just start shutting down programs at random when I'm done until the fan stops, or else it will run like that for hours. Activity Monitor is particularly bad for CPU usage.
I tested out Fiverr by hiring 3 people to do simple T-shirt designs for $10-$15 each. Everything I got back was either stolen from somewhere else, extremely poor quality, or didn't fit my request at all.

I'm sure there are great people on Fiverr, but you have to do a lot of searching or get really lucky.

Upwork costs more, but I think the increase in quality and communication ability more than offsets the price.
I am not particularly upset (besides they have been going this direction for a while) I just don't like obtrusive ads and, odly, some websites have so many ads that their styling is incredibly messed up without them. I may switch to another adblocker if I see too much stuff, but seeing some ads doesn't really anger me.
90% is probably too generous. I tried static channel selection on two wifi routers with the same issues described here and it does not fix the issue.
At work, the worst thing we've done this year from a product management standpoint is migrate from Github Issues to JIRA.

It was done for the right reason: to have a single place for all our work (JIRA for feature planning/sprint planning/dev+qa tracking, Confluence for documentation) but it's been hobbled because we still need github to coordinate code review + merges.

The better solution would have been to stay with Github and use Huboard or something to layer on the swimlane sprint planny stuff, but keep _all_ our info in GH Issues.

Moving entirely to Gitlab in a year or so once things have matured would be a great win for us, I'm sure.

As a professional developer, you're going to have to figure out how to do whatever it is you don't already know how to do all the time. For those that haven't already cultivated this skill, university should be a place that pushes you to learn that lesson.

Thanks. Phone number backups are hard to set up and there are concerns about the security. That is why we have not build support for it. BTW I recommend using 1password so that you don't have to reset 2FA when you move phones (like with Google Authenticator).
> And, ignoring that point for a moment, The idea that your code is ‘secure by default’ is a dangerous one and promotes ignorance about security. You code is not secure by default

Bah. This argument can be used to show anything. I could argue that C++ is better than Rust with the same argument.
If there's an app causing it then the "Energy" tab in Activity Monitor should show you which one. Google and Adobe apps along with their helper services are particularly poorly behaved even when "idle".
The verzion $50 doesn't include line access, which is another $20 per smartphone.
I guess Windows is at a disadvantage here since it doesn't know the physical layout of the components on the hardware it's running on. It would be up to the laptop manufacturers to include a driver to do such.
But if you're a married couple in Georgia with a mortgage and a kid, making $90k total, tax withholding takes out 23% from your paycheck, with the 4% sales tax rate taking out maybe another 1-2% because most of your expenses (e.g. mortgage, services, and food) aren't subject to sales tax.

The U.S. is unusual among western countries in how little it taxes the middle class.
Well, I admire the work behind it, and I think the idea is good (especially how having this open source means multiple sites can build on the same data set and get it more and more accurate over time).

But I have to be honest and say that it's just not working for me.

I type in Reddit, and it shows links to the NSFW subreddits instead of the main site or anything else on it.

Typing in Wikipedia gives me the Dutch version of Wikipedia.

Mario Wiki? The page on Mario Wiki about Mario Clash, then the Smash Bros Wiki and a bunch of SEO spam pages.

Pokemon Go gets me no relevant results at all. Certainly not anything official, that's for sure.

It's a decent start, and having 2 billion pages indexed is pretty impressive for a project like this as it is, but it's just not really usable as a search engine just yet.
Who cares? We already know the US is rampant with tax avoidance schemes. I know many small business owners who brag about all the expenses they deduct which are questionable at best. We know Apple and many other large corporations pay almost no tax on their profits. We know the majority of wealthy people pay a smaller percentage of tax than your average working stiff.

What could possibly be in Trump's tax returns that would make us outraged that isn't rampant in our society already?
At some point there will be a really massive fuck up, that will resist the usual cover ups and smear campaigns that have been used to silence the fuck ups that manage to boil to the surface these days.

Only when that one really bad thing finally happens, and doesn't just go away; when it refuses to be swept under the carpet, only then will anything change.

Either that, or it will break us, and usher in a new unstoppable tyrrany.

Think about it like that.
> Last I checked, the consensus was that he raised concerns repeatedly within his chain of command

Yes, and he ignored that everyone qualified to determine the legality of the programmes he objected to determined that they were, in fact, legal.

> He did not ignore the legal process for raising his concerned- the legal process for raising his concerns FAILED

No, it succeeded. Nothing he revealed was in fact illegal or unconstitutional. Neither the law nor the Constitution mandates all good things, nor bans all bad things. 'I don't like it' is unsufficient proof of illegality.
From reading the entire talk page, for me the author has a limited view on what has happened.

He asked about COI and got

"As the author of the EOMA-68 standard, and as a co-creator of a crowd-funding campaign around several implementations of that standard, you have both a legal interest (as the primary author and copyright holder of the standard) and an economic interest (as an implementor) in the entities that this article is about."

as a first answer. Which is what the author didn't like and asked for 'clarifications' holding the opinion that

'do i have an interest in promoting the SUCCESS of EOMA68?" no i do NOT.'

which sounds surreal if you are the co-creator of a standard and run a crowd campaign for a device based on that standard, irrespective of the device being and/or standard being open.

The reasonable answer by the Wikipedian is

"Here is a video of you promoting the EOMA-68 initiative. Here is another. And here is an interview, in which you say, in relation to EOMA-68 and its implementations, things like, 'Let me tell you a little bit about why I'm doing this and why people should buy these products.'"

Looks like the author has also a very different view on crowd funding:

"it is a common mistake that a lot of people make. crowdfunding is a gift economy"

Otherwise read the talk page, it's much more fun than the blog post.

It's a well-covered topic. What new thing could he possibly say?
Being audited by the IRS has nothing to do with releasing returns. Unless the public catches something that the IRS misses.

There is nothing legally binding Trump
The returns are his to disclose. There's no (legal) reason to withhold them if he's truly under audit. He could always release the revised documents if necessary.
Why does a hypothesis need to be defined by the scientific method? I can pull an idea out of my butt (all grasshoppers are blue!), state it formally as a hypothesis and then apply scientific investigation to it. I don't see this bootstrap problem you're talking about.

Scientific method likely cannot resolve all possible categories of question, no. Empiricism is a fundamental assumption, that things are repeatable and hold true under investigation.

However this is a very different sort of assumption to the rejection of evidence based on faith that is implicit to creationism. One is our best effort to understand the world around us, the other is wilful ignorance.
The IRS has stated that being under audit does not prevent someone from publicly releasing their tax returns[0].

This stuff sounds incredibly exciting.

Replacing Jenkins has been... a frustrating experience met with nothing but hollow shells of services. We want to self-host, we want something that can deploy our code, we want to be able to write arbitrary jobs not tied to specific github projects.

The Jenkins ecosystem is atrociously bad. Don't get me wrong, it's incredibly active, but it promotes a "just make a plugin for everything" attitude which results in things like, plugins to echo this or that, plugins to do a million things better done from the shell, etc. On top of that, the Jenkins UI is just... bad. It's ugly and it's a UX disaster. I could go on.

Yet, there's nothing better than Jenkins out there right now. Drone claims to want to replace Jenkins, but doesn't even have support for arbitrary jobs. I'd love more recommendations.

This is why, a while back here on HN, I asked if I could pick up the Gitlab job runner in golang and slap a different web UI on top of it that manages the jobs. This doesn't appear to be possible but I see the value in such a runner existing. Running the jobs is a critical component of such tools.

I just finished setting up a complete pipeline for a new business with my cofounder: Jenkins was a big pain point. Terraform was a pain point. Ansible was a pain point. Getting a vault solution set up and done right was a massive pain point. We've been striving to make things as simple as possible for developers so I wish you the absolute best of luck in what you're doing, I'm continuously impressed with Gitlab.

It's really not a sign of a problem but rather a sign of improving local conditions in those up and coming countries. This development will lead to better local economies, locals with better local opportunities and ultimately better wealth distribution (rather than entrepreneur wealth/taxes contributing to American coffers they will contribute to local coffers improving the lives of locals). And additionally by having fewer people adopt our expensive lifestyle as they would had they migrated people will contribute less toward climate change so, win-win.
