Here is an at least a somewhat optimistic take on this issue in that it's looking for mitigation techniques and IDing possible research[1]. I worked for the lead author one summer at LLNL right around when this was published, and I believe he's continued to work on aspects of this in the interim, although I must confess that I'm terrible at keeping up with people and am not entirely sure.

This made me think of methane powered rockets that Elon Musk has mentioned: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raptor_(rocket_engine_family...

Thanks. I thought the (in my opinion, very funny) joke was getting lost based on the down-voting.
If cabbies are contractors, there is still the question of who handles the rider's money.

I'm a software development contractor myself. But I don't handle the revenue of the company or companies I work for, from their customers. So the GST on that revenue is none of my business at all.

Similarly, a cab company could operate such that cabbies are contractors, but the company collects the fares, and then pays the cabbies out of that under whatever compensation terms are between the cabbies and the company.

In that case, since the company is not a small operator meeting the 30K-and-under rules, it has to collect and remit GST.

Some of the drivers might meet the rule themselves. They bill the company with their invoices and do their own GST accounting. Those that work a lot charge the GST. Some that work only little can get away without it. Either way, that makes no difference to the cab company. When that company is charged GST by a contractor, it can probably subtract that from the GST it collects and remits as a "GST input credit". When it isn't charged GST, it doesn't subtract.

Either way, the company can get the contractors "GST free". This is fair when we consider that a company with permanent employees also gets them "GST free".

The "GST cheating" in Uber is probably that the drivers themselves are not just considered contractors, but entire one-person transportation businesses which collect revenue directly from the riders. Effectively, each Uber driver is an entire one-person cab company operating one cab. Uber is then their supplier: they pay something to Uber for the services of being in the Uber network.

If there are large numbers of part-time Uber drivers that meet the 30K exemption, then that's a big loss of potential GST revenue to CCRA, compared to if those drivers were contractors who get paid by a cab company that itself collects fares with GST (even with the input credits they may get). When a driver meets the exemption, the CCRA gets no GST whatsoever from that piece of the pie: not even the difference between GST on some sales, and input credits with respect to the driver associated with those sales
If you're like me and have just accepted that at some level you'll never be a morning person, I suggest spending the first 40 mins doing something mindless (shower, browse fb etc), then a coffee. Works for me.
Good. The security of certificate system is dependent on an incentive model where misbehavior is punished with revocation. It is important not just because we shouldn't give individual authorities trust after they have demonstrated themselves untrustworthy (although that is an important factor), but also as a punitive measure to disincentive misbehavior.
Is this legal? Is this really a school that only allows people of a certain race? I don't mean scholarships or other affirmative action type stuff. An actual entire school that excludes based on race?

Honestly, as a not-a-security-guy, I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I've had to learn something around security and it's been easy.

> separate AWS accounts for each environment may well be the best way to do this

A thousand times yes. There is so much to do in IAM, that it's just easier to let the devs have access to a 'test' account, and keep the 'prod' account out of their mitts.

There is literally no reason why, today, we don't have at least 50/10 to every goddamned home in America.

Where I live in the Texas Hill Country, I get 300MB in the center of town. Outside the town there are a few companies providing wireless Internet connections, but this is limited by topology - the hills for which the region is named tend to get in the way.

I also have a cabin in upstate New York, in the foothills of the Catskills. I can't even get a cell signal there without hiking to the top of the mountain - and even then, a plain voice connection, non-data, is iffy. And I'm doing OK, I know of people up there who don't even have electricity.

Putdowns? What putdowns exactly? According to the StackOverflow 2016 Developer Survey [1], almost 70% of the developers are self-taught, and also according to that survey, JavaScript is the most popular language, more than twice as much as C++. That pretty much covers my first paragraph.

As for the second, I'm confident about the average JavaScripter not being able to tackle C++. If you find that an insult, that's ok, but it's the reality. Try explaining custom memory allocation algorithms to the vast majority of script kiddies that call themselves "front-end developers" just because they use jQuery daily.

>> much more likely, they'd ask me for my address in the event they wanted to send me something

You're trying to invoke the fear that the only method of contacting your friend is to write to the last address you knew for them. That was true once; it has no particular relationship to the modern day.

Even when it was true, though, postal services were a system for delivering mail to places, not to people. If your friend moved and you didn't know that, it was difficult to contact them.
Why not just cut GST for everybody? Instead of taxing Uber more, tax taxis less. Drivers and Uber still pay income taxes, fuel taxes, relevant tolls right? If they want to simplify taxes -- as they claim, the best way to simplify is simply to eliminate.

Lower fares mean more revenue for drivers and Uber and thus more income taxes collected. Removing taxes from goods, means lower prices which means you sell more and then generate more tax revenue. Laffer Curve 101.

> I would recommend using the autoscaling features provided by AWS/Google Cloud

It would have to be integrated with Kubernetes though -- when we push a new docker container, the container would need to be updated on any new machines created. We'll look into GCP's autoscale solution.
But isn't that how you achieve systematic equality? For example, say there are two races X and Y. X is the overachiever (doesn't even have to be a majority, there could be a 50/50 population), while Y is the underachiever, for whatever historical reasons these two groups faced. So, to get Y on the same level as X and restore a meritocracy, you must admit more of Y, even if X does better in some cases. Meritocracy only makes sense if everyone starts off with the same advantages. Otherwise, the populations must converge until such a point is reached. It becomes an argument for shortchanging certain populations for the greater good of society, to undo the disparity of the past. Is that not why AA exists?
This is my biggest concern about various "moneyed people/orgs with agendas." If their sole job is to push their agenda, it is incredibly asymmetric. How do you win against something like that if all it takes is slipping just once when they are waiting to pounce?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Chicago

>Chicago and its suburbs, which together comprise the Chicago Metropolitan Area, is home to 29 Fortune 500 companies and is a transportation and distribution center. Manufacturing, printing, publishing, insurance and food processing also play major roles in the city's economy. The total economic output of Chicago in GMP totaled US$547B in 2012[1] making Chicago the 21st largest economy in the world[2] just surpassing the total economic output of Switzerland.

>The city houses one of the Federal Reserve Banks, established in 1914. There is also the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. The largest banks in the Chicago region (by % of deposits) are: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America (through its acquisition of LaSalle Bank), BMO Harris Bank (a BMO subsidiary), and Northern Trust. The largest banks headquartered in Chicago are: Northern Trust, Chase, BMO Harris Bank, Wintrust Financial, and First Midwest Bank. Many financial institutions are in the Loop.

>Chicago has five major financial exchanges, including the Chicago Stock Exchange (CHX), the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), and NYSE Arca. While the city of Chicago houses most of the major brokerage firms, many insurance companies are in the city or suburbs, such as Allstate Corporation.

In my experience using last year's darling framework instead of this year's is an excellent way to go. The codebase is stable and full-featured, the plugin ecosystem is rich, the documentation is extensive, and stackoverflow is already filled with accepted answers.

It's a myth that new languages and frameworks offer better productivity. Mostly it's just the flavor that's different, not the calories. Sometimes you get a genuine improvement, like react, but the vast majority of frameworks are completely optional when it comes to getting stuff done. I'm always reminded of this when I observe the Delphi team at work. Still lapping any web developer when it comes to shipping features.
And good riddance, the cab industry has long been problematic in its own way, with its own worker abuse issues and non-competition problems. Disliking uber doesn't mean supporting cab medallion owners.

This isn't a crazy prediction. "White" means a lot less than people pretend it does. Before the 20th Century, it excluded many European ethnicities. At various points, the Irish, Italians, Greeks, and Jewish people have been "non-white". Solidarity among the relatively fair-skinned only became a thing during the fight to perpetuate Jim Crow, and as a response to the Great Migration.

It's hard to pin this down because there's a powerful cultural normalization effect around "whiteness"; we accept the notion that there are "white", "black", "latino", and "Asian" people, in part due to history and in part because breaking "white" down further would be cumbersome.

But it's worth remembering that while there really is a sui generis "black" culture (the US African American culture, a product of displacing millions of Africans and stripping them of their original culture), there isn't "white culture". Irish and German people don't have that much in common culturally: they don't share a language, they don't eat the same food, they don't listen to the same music, they don't have the same folklore.

Since one important sense of the concept of "whiteness" is "membership in favored ethnicity", it's not unreasonable to predict that it will eventually expand to include non-European ethnicities, too.

My point wasn't so much that Flexbox isn't that improvement, but that I haven't yet had a chance to fully learn it, and I suspect that a lot of front-end developers are in a similar space. I plan on rectifying that soon, but it is yet another thing to add atop the large number of other things that comprise understanding modern web browsers.

I'm not saying that we should burn the HTML and CSS stack. It has served the web very well and will continue to do so, but until the last few years, it's been a document focused stack that's been twisted into doing app development, and in some sense, it still is.

HTML and CSS are not the best tool for heavy GUI development, a la Photoshop, Visual Studio (not VS Code) or other large GUI intensive things. Most web apps have yet to replicate the combination of features and/or performance of those types native applications. Flexbox is an improvement there that helps with layout, but that doesn't change the fact that we are working with the DOM under the hood, with all of its various quirks and performance issues. (Not to say other GUI frameworks/APIs are perfect, or necessarily better. Some of them just allow you to optimize a little closer to the metal).

One can point out that large GUI tools like Photoshop aren't being created as much these days, outside of AAA game dev, CAD, or the like, or that many large GUI's use web views to help display documents, a la Steam.

I sincerely hope that Servo's "Web Browsers are essentially AAA game engines" approach catches on.

I'd be interested to see how an event-based html5 canvas GUI library would compare to DOM.
I do not understand your response. You have not refuted my comment at all.

By design, a zero day cannot be reasonably used for mass surveillance. Every endpoint targeted increases the chance of discovery. This is how many would probably prefer to see a spy agency be operating; Focus on their specific targets instead of dragnet surveillance.

I wish CA management was easier to bulk-edit. Show me a table of root CAs with their data, their country of origin, etc., and allow me to filter and enable/disable all based on filters.

Full disable would shut down trust entirely, and get the warnings similar to a self-issued cert.

Reduced trust would have a "not Secure" label or something, like a plain http connection.
There is some hope. We could geoengineer a giant shade structure to reflect sunlight away from earth. It would cost $trillions (twelve zeros) but it could be done with current technology. And it would cool the Earth immediately. Unfortunately it would do nothing to fix ocean acidification, which threatens to starve and/or suffocate us all.
There are VPN services with gaming modes or that are built primarily for low latency gaming. This may sound ludicrous at first but if the routing between you and the game server is poor or optimized for price or bandwidth more than latency, then such a VPN service could indeed lower latency. I don't know if they do but under the right circumstances it's possible.

I'll share my personal experience, which is that the move to Vue.js 2 was fairly straightforward. The project's handy "migration helper" helped a lot. Still, it's not something I jumped on immediately.

Men are first in line for the very generous government teat, and thus naturally less likely to work than women. To get anything done, women therefore have to work harder and are therefore, in aggregate, more productive than their male counterparts.
