No issue getting the exception. These programs are explicitly mentioned in the ACA regulation and tax prep software supports them.

No guarantees. You can't take anyone to court to make them pay your bills. However, if you don't make your monthly payment, you've effectively cancelled your membership and the person who was supposed to receive your check gets it from someone else so they're still made whole. Personally, I am more comfortable with the risk of a long-running voluntary system failing than I was with the risk of insurance deciding to screw me on coverage, accidentally getting out-of-network care, etc. But I looked into it for a couple of years before I reached that conclusion.
>Furthermore the absence of enclosed communal space (what is sometimes inside the 'city blocks') means that the inhabitants don't feel the green space 'belongs to them'.

Yeah this. I never liked the "one huge park for everyone in the city" approach. I think the Chicago-style "many parks" approach is superior. In my neighborhood I have four parks within walking distance, seven or eight if you include school playlots.

>So they don't feel incentives to care for that space, and they don't.

Trash gets picked up quickly in the parks. I do feel a sense of ownership with the closest parks and get pissed when I see trash and promptly pick it up. I think smaller localized spaces do a good job of fighting the 'tragedy of the commons' we see with larger spaces. When something belongs to 'everyone' it really belongs to no one. Sorry but that's just human nature and one of the many reasons communism failed.

Not to mention, a lot of those Soviet towns are little more than endless ugly apartment blocks. The idea of a home with a unique design or a single family home with its own yard didn't fit in with the engineer led design of 'everyone lives in efficient boxes.' I find towns like that to be depressing and ugly. I'd rather trade some efficiency for beauty and livability. Top-down approaches get praised by geeks, but ultimately are simply worse than bottom-up approaches many American cities developed from. I'd much rather live in chaotic NYC, LA, or Chicago than 'ultraplanned' cities in Russia or China. Considering how many people we have dying to immigrate here, I suspect wanting those types of lifestyles reflects something in human nature.

Looking at limited-digit odometer style devices gives the best example of why 2's complement is saner.

... or ...
9998 1110
9999 1111
0000 0000
0001 0001
0002 0010
...

What number is before 0 in binary? 1111. So that's where -1 is. The number before that? 1110, so that's -2. The whole XOR + 1 thing can be derived from this shape.

That, and simple addition of both signed and unsigned numbers actually works. :)

The only question is where you draw the line between underflowing negatives and overflowing positives, and going halfsies on the top bit seems to make sense. For an 8-bit number, there are 128 numbers on each of the negative/non-negative split, but zero mucks it up by being not mathematically positive. 1's complement evens it out by having 127 numbers on each side plus two zeros, but messes up signed math.

Cities have access to money from property taxes and sales taxes. States have access to sales tax and income tax. The state should be assisting with local budgets to level the playing field but that isn't really detailed in this article for some reason.
Showing my age here but I remember spending many many hours playing it on the BBC B.
that wouldn't help much, since the infrastructure is still crazy expensive and not worth paying for.

Surely it would help, then? The entire point of the article is that local governments built infrastructure that isn't worth paying for, and paid too much for it, because of bad planning/misaligned incentives.

If towns were fully privatised then there'd be no assumption of government bailouts, and towns that overbuilt would go bankrupt and be abandoned/eventually bulldozed. In practice governments are rarely willing to let that happen. Even in the case of Detroit it was bailed out.
Yea, I don't really think realtime bidding is worthwhile for these kinds of transactions. It makes bothering with it too much trouble.

Rather, I think a municipality setting prices by fiat to be something that mostly gives the an approximate solution most of the time.
Weird. I just tried it out. So in Javascript you can have two variables, `a` and `b`, such that `a === b` and `1/a !== 1/b`.
While we're at it, I'd like to show another method of safely disclosing gag orders.

Report the gag order stolen. Make a photo with a one-time camera and post it from an open wifi using Tails or another Linux live distribution. Shred the data, burn the order, dispose the camera.

This can even be scripted easily to happen automatically when you're in range of the wifi, so you're not seen with the device.

There are a lot of ways to safely disclose gag orders if you really want to, especially if you work in IT.

I'm not 100% acquainted with the questions Google asks, but in general "knowledge about algorithms, data structures" favours memorisation strongly. In fact, sometimes it is the only option. I think it would be quite a high bar to expect someone to come up with a complex algorithm from scratch in a 60 minute interview for which researchers have needed decades. (Edit: not to mention way harder and more unreliable that just learning it off by heart).

My programming hygiene and software design skills? You can see that more reliably from my Github work, but then recruiters and interviewers almost never take the time to look at that. Instead, we're stuck relying on a shitty test, not years and years of hard work and data, because it's easier for you to evaluate. Good job everybody.
Laughed at this one:

styleElement.appendChild(document.createTextNode(styleContent.replace(/;/g, ' !important;')));
Because that's precisely what the 'data:' URI is supposed to do. The URI is only a description of some resource, there's no reason one description should be treated differently than any other, unless it's actually pointing to a different resource.
Low effort modularity would be so easy... Back when smartphones were not phablets and batteries were swappable, custom back covers for fat extended batteries were available for almost any device. That's one precedent. The other are Wi-Fi SD cards that were sold before digital cameras started to integrate Wi-Fi on their own. There is another. Custom back covers for the minority who needs extra space and few connectors in the form factor of wired microSD (because micro USB is specified with far too strong mechanical reserves for this use case) would come at near zero extra bulk for those who don't use those possibilities and the minority who does have exotic needs would still be served.

Everything that would be used by more than 5% of users should still be integrated, everything else would be a waste of resources because high numbers have such a strong effect of making electronics cheap and light.
A more open, free, and transparent version of capitalism will be the cure I think.

Transparency is key, we need to start requiring openess in all aspects of government and business.
I use awesome, and there's a way you can assign particular programs to specific tags, so that they always open on that tag. I'd be surprised if i3 didn't have a way to do the same, given that even dwm can do it ;)

Then, there's a third option in addition to the two you mentioned: spend two minutes (if that) doing the one-time configuration of having the wm reserve a tag for your browser (and perhaps other GUI apps that you anticipate frequently needing/wanting to run full-screen). In awesome, you'd do that by adding an entry to your global rules table like this one (in rc.lua):

{ rule = {
instance = "firefox"
},
properties = {
screen = "HDMI1",
tag = "3"
}
}

Which will configure awesome so that any time a new client becomes managed by the wm, it will ensure that its window opens on the XRandR screen "HDMI1", and specifically on that screen's tag "3". ("3" is a string here because, while tags are by default "integers", "1" - "9", they can be named by any string afaik, and many people will rename them things like "www", "irc", "term", etc.).

You can also use awesome-client(1) to send Lua code to a running awesome instance for execution within the wm's context. This could be tossed into a shell script (and parameterized as you see fit) for convenience, if desired:

$ awesome-client <<EOF
require("awful").spawn("firefox", {
screen = mouse.screen,
tag = "3",
switchtotag = true
})
EOF

The same awful.spawn() call you'd send to awesome-client can also be bound to a keystroke or a menu entry for quick access.

As for me, I tend to only use tmux under X11 if I'm worried about losing an ssh connection and therefore (without tmux, of course) the ssh session. However, I have DEC vt520 glass TTY that connects via RS-232 serial cable to a couple of servers (one OpenBSD, the other FreeBSD) and, while the terminal is pretty damn featureful, it has limited scrollback and awkward copy/paste functionality. So, on that terminal I use tmux quite a bit (although it seems to be rather chatty and during periods of heavy pty traffic can sometimes wind up spitting a garbage glyph on the screen here and there, but I think I may just need to increase the baud rate (despite already being set to ~56 Kbaud! cha-tty!)). The vt520 also only supports 2 sessions at once directly (and I can't even figure out how to get the OS to recognize the second one -_-), so tmux's multiplexing capability is also greatly appreciated when I'm basking in the amber glow.

Recruiter and resume writer here. I'm at least somewhat surprised, and I assume his resume had references to his PR campaign, and I'd think that in itself (along with the somewhat limited qualifications he seems to have) would at least warrant a phone screen. Even if that phone interview was to feel him out a bit.

I am genuinely curious to see his resume (I didn't see it on this site or his other blog). Again, I'd have to assume it was at least somewhat littered with references to his dream of working for Google (the GitHub repo gives that away, and maybe he linked to his blog).

His current LinkedIn profile starts with a Projects section (I'd have recommended a summary) and the first project listed is "Google Interview University", so I assume any recruiter vetting him would have immediately seen that, then noticed that his experience section starts with "in training for a software engineer interview, April 2016 - present", and then perhaps into the rabbit hole of all his posts.

This might be a case of someone "trying too hard/pandering" to one audience. If we take away the Google-related content on LinkedIn, we've got a guy who has 5 years of experience running what appears to be a light tech startup, ~ 15 years of demonstrated web dev experience, several Coursera courses, and an active GitHub.

If you only gave his GitHub 5 seconds (without opening any of the repos themselves), I'd think most recruiters would think he'd be worth at least a quick phone call. Maybe they dove in and didn't like what they saw.

More questions than answers on this one.
Good headphones for such a setup are tightly closed, DJ-style ones. They isolate you from outside noise, so you can listen to e.g. quietly playing piano pieces (don't like Schubert? try Rick Wakeman) and concentrate.
This is a problem, but not the problem.

Like schools, local public safety and other core government functions in incorporated cities are provided by municipal government.

Broken streets and infrastructure are expensive, but engineers always overstate the costs of maintenance and replacement when they are waving the tin cup around. The acute problem is that opex is driven by police and fire salaries, pensions and workers compensation. Take those numbers and divide by 3 or 4 to get a realistic number, especially for things like water pipes that have very long service lives.

The more fundamental problem is that post-war America focused investment and tax bad growth on towns and other places outside of cities, and left the costs in the cities. If the average suburban/exurban community requires 1 police/fire visit per 100 household, and urban environment requires 15-20 per 100 households.

Part of why we're impressed (and dismayed) is that they use a data URL to look like "accounts.google.com" and to load a remote script out of sight to the right of all the spaces. Maybe the URL protocol didn't fool you, but I think there are a good number of users out there who have been "trained" to check the URL to see that it says "accounts.google.com" and think it's fine.

And while clicking on an attachment shouldn't sign out a user, being automatically signed out has happened enough to most people that it seems like a fairly innocuous event, especially since this is supposed to be an attachment, not a link, and you just need to sign back in. So one does.

> having developers sit in the middle of a bunch of salespeople and project managers

So, about that...

I work in a cube farm, and I love it. But because we're running out of space, they stuck me in the only open cube they had, and so I'm not sitting anywhere near my team or even my department. I'm in network engineering, but the other people on my row are sales engineers (for a product I have nothing to do with), the inside sales department sits on the three rows to my left, and the marketing department sits on the two rows to my right.

As such, I'm now quite familiar with our sales pitches, and I pick up all kinds of juicy gossip from the inside sales team's daily standup. I'm at the point where "Net Promoter Score" no longer sounds like a real phrase (yay, semantic satiation!). I do have to admit that I've taken to listening to music on my headphones... not super loud, but it helps me get in the zone when the inside sales team is firing on all cylinders. I don't mind it too much... they're all fun people to talk to during our downtime, and I've actually become really close with one of the marketing guys, who I probably wouldn't have met if we didn't have space issues.

And it's not going to last much longer. We just took over another suite in our building, we're putting the finishing touches on renovations, and as soon as that's done the whole sales organization is moving there (the move will probably happen next week, or maybe even this Friday), and my department will move to where sales used to be. I'm hoping I'll get to sit in mostly the same place (marketing isn't moving, and I like those people), though I'd love to take over the window cube behind me.

Who is going to do that innovation? A startup? Good luck getting a municipal government to take risks by handing maintenance contracts to a startup. Their incentives are to do nothing and wait to be bailed out through inflation.
Strangely, open offices with cubicles can be more expensive than building drywall walls to make closed offices. And the much-vaunted flexibility of cubicles is way, way overrated. In my experience, cubicles sit in the same place for years. Any benefit of re-using them is lost. Also if the company is growing, new ones get bought all the time, so old ones aren't re-used anyway.

Its obvious on the face of it: re-usable walls and shelving are going to be more expensive than simple stick construction. You have to be re-using it constantly (reformatting office space every month or quarter) to make it pay. And then you're tanking everybody's productivity.

I think open-office is some brain virus that keeps infecting managers everywhere. We need some kind of vaccine to combat it.
As someone who has done a limited amount of hiring, I'm inclined to think that the inconsistency is something to be wary of. It's worrying to open the blog page and be able to simultaneously see titles reading both "I Didn't Get Hired. Here's Why" and "Why didn't I get hired? I don't know why". It leads me to believe that the author does not bother checking their own work, and/or has trouble articulating simple thoughts (ie. whether or not they know why they weren't hired, a yes or no question).

To your question - would this affect the author's code quality? Maybe, maybe not. They could be an absent-minded-professor-type who can easily do genius technical work, but misses things like this. However - Google looks for more than code quality.

Dean Baker, a great economist and easily the best on the (relatively) radical left, said (in the context of discussing Piketty's work) that "capitalism is infinitely malleable" - markets are shaped by infinite rules and tweaking those rules tweaks the outcomes. To speak of "capitalism" as a thing with defined outcomes is to ignore how vast that range of outcomes is, and how badly things work without any market whatsoever, which is what true alternatives (as opposed to tweaks) to capitalism amount to.

"That changed on Nov. 8, when the American oligarchs ousted noncompliant professional politicians and assumed direct power through Donald Trump and his cabinet."

Does it follow that Obama was defiant of "the American oligarchs" in his bold support for, say, TPP?

"Marx thought communism would see the withering-away of the state. Instead, capitalism has reduced the state until its chief functions are protecting the rich and policing the poor."

Does TFA imply that things got worse since Marx's days in terms of the absolute standard of living of "the poor"? Does the modern state redistribute less from "the rich" to "the poor" than it did in Marx's days?

Making the tax agency also the debt collector for this type of loan is quite ingenious, but also evil. If I'm reading it right, defaulting is basically equivalent to being behind on your taxes.

Does anyone know if this bundling to property tax payments also gives these loans repayment priority in a foreclosure? If it does, such loans could poison otherwise sound mortgages by superseding them to the remaining equity.

> determining if somebody's going to bump in you

I think the human aspect of that is a huge factor. I've always had a problem being around large crowds (anxiety, dizziness, mental strain). I think my nervous brain is constantly trying to determine how I might interact with the people around me, and when there are so many people I just get overwhelmed. Same thing happened in the (rather large) office I work at. For the first few days I was feeling mental strain only a few hours into the day, but after the office and the people in it became a known quantity I think my brain stopped trying to analyze everything.
