> There is a slight difference between the UK and US, though, in that there is no per-state/county income taxes. Only UK wide.

Not completely true. Scotland has for several years now had the power to set higher or lower income tax rates than the rest of the UK, but until this year they've never actually used that power. But now this year, Scottish income tax rates are actually being set slightly higher than the rest of the UK – http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/02/middle-class-scot...
Pro tip: skip pseudoephedrine. By Primatene tablets.

Primatene has ephedrine, which is a _much_ better decongestant. (Which is saying alot because pseudoephedrine is already much better than the OTC replacements.) Primatene also has guaifenesin, which is the best expectorant and usually only found in the expensive Mucinex brand products or similarly expensive competitor products.

[WARNING]
Both ephedrine and guaifenesin can increase your blood pressure, so don't take Primatene if you have high blood pressure or have other reasons to be cautious.

However, if you're otherwise healthy it's the best non-prescription medicine you can buy in the U.S. for treating the long tail of a cold. And there's probably no better prescription medicine, either.

Bonus: ephedrine is a stimulant that can counteract the drowsiness effects of first-generation antihistamines like diphenhydramine or doxylamine. In about 1/3 of people, including myself, first-generation antihistamines can stop the sneezing, coughing, and runny nose caused by cold viruses. I don't think second-generation antihistamines work as well in that regard. Anyhow, if we're being honest ephedrine also helps you get through the work day while sick, whether or not you took an antihistamine.

Yes, I've mentioned this cocktail to several doctors (including several of my own doctors), and they've always been cool with it. Always with the caveat about blood pressure, though. I assume because of the ephedrine. I don't think most doctors know that guaifenesin can also increase blood pressure.
Ask HN: How would you handle a micromanaging non-tech founder?
I am one of the early employees of a startup working on an exiting problem (AI/ML related), hired straight out of grad school. The founder is a guy with prior consulting experience and no CS background, which didn't really bother me because he said I'll be left alone to try out my own ideas as long as I show results on a regular basis.

But after starting work I realized that he prefers to micromanage a lot, interrupting me many times a day to ask for "status", or "if I need any help with anything " and with an inordinate amount of pointless meetings daily. He expects me to build these machine learning models in an ad hoc manner ("look at this blog post, just copy his code!"). He also doesn't like to change his original opinion, even if I present a rational counter argument.

How do I convince this guy that the problem is not trivial? That, even if I copy the blog post's model (which I don't wanna), I'll have to tune the parameters, etc. In general, how do I convince this person about any technicality with the problem? I don't want to quit, as this is really an exciting problem am really interested in. Help me!
That he was a child is immaterial to the immature and radical nature of his idea. It is backstory, colour, to describe the stereotypical nature of the idea. That a child creates an idea doesn't mean that it is bad per se, but should give adults pause before signing up to it themselves. That the young are always more extreme than the old should be common knowledge.
Ask HN: What am I missing about this FCC order?
Considering that almost 60% of us now use a web browser specifically owned / designed by the world's biggest advertising company (1) that leaks privacy even in "incognito" mode (2) I feel like we're not having an intellectually honest discussion about this FCC order.

Google - in fact - originally opposed this framework when Obama wrote it into action (1) in the first place!

The new FCC Chairman - Ajit Pai - has stated he endorsed this primarily to re-level the playing field for ISPs vs Facebook / Google / and the less visible ad tracking / ad profiling agencies.

And he's further stated that he's going to use this opportunity, of resetting the playing field, to create a framework that applies for EVERYTHING digital.

I am not going to pretend that I am optimistic that the FCC is going to build a consumer framework that we can all live with, but I am confused how Google / FB / etc are getting away with murder on the privacy / profiling side, and the entire issue has been shifted to focus @ the ISP level?

If we're going to fight for our privacy, Google / Facebook should be at the top of the list to enact "opt-in" only profiling on, in addition to the ISPs.

I think that's what has happened with health coverage and with college over the last several decades. Mass ignorance about what people are actually paying, since the costs are removed from our immediate view, via automatic deductions, 3-months-later billing, and student loans.
The equity investor will likely want
at least 10% of the company. So the
$50,000 check would be for a
company with a post money (after
the check is cashed) evaluation
of $500,000. If the company really
looks like it has a much better than
average shot at $500 million, then
it's an even bet if the company has
only 1 chance in 1000 and a money
maker if a better chance than that.

But that little bit of arithmetic is
well beyond nearly all equity
investors.
Here is the github link in case you're searching for it: https://github.com/google/earthenterprise
The math sounds about right, but the kind of COL calculation you just made assumes people spend all the money they make with no savings/investments.

A more realistic model for most high-income earners that accounts for savings/investments would heavily favor higher salary+COL regions.

For a simplistic illustration of this using the same numbers, if you spend 100k CAD a year and make 200k CAD, you can save 100k CAD a year. If you spend 150K CAD (50% higher COL) and make 312.5K CAD (equivalent to 250K USD at 1.25 exchange rate), you'd save the equivalent of 162.5K CAD a year.

"IRS gets a loan" is metaphorically true in a sense but really doesn't hold up to scrutiny. The IRS doesn't actually get money from taxpayers at all. The IRS is just the bureaucracy that determines things. The money that you "pay" in federal taxes is just dollars that are deleted out of existence so that the dollars created by federal spending don't create inflation.

The federal government's "cash flow" is made up entirely of creating dollars out of nothing by spending and deleting dollars out of existence by taxing. The federal government doesn't "have" dollars.

Akamai to acquire Soasta
The traditional answer is that if your version is different from others', it might be because (1) the developer is trying to attack you, including (1a) the developer wants to attack you, (1b) someone forced the developer to make a custom version of the software in order to attack you, or (1c) someone compromised the internal processes of the developer in order to attack a small group of users (in a way that reduces the chance that the compromise will be discovered by the developer or by others).

This also includes, perhaps, (1d) there are some secret antifeatures in the software whose existence the developer hopes to conceal from the general user population.

For some of these cases, "you" might include not just one person, but also users in a particular country, language community, or income bracket.

Edit: I agree that there may be technical solutions other than binary transparency in particular that can also address some of these concerns.

Does reading make you a better writer? Yes.

What does it mean to be a good developer? Do you simply want to write your own black-box undocumented software? Then there is a much lesser advantage to reading other projects' code.
On the other hand, if you want to manipulate another codebase, or use another library, reading code is a necessity.

That leaves one final question: Is it beneficial to your own development skill to read others' code? Yes. Proficiently reading others' code is a very beneficial skill, even if you do not intend to write code to be read by someone else. Not only will you get better at reading your own code, you will learn idioms and practices that will improve your comprehension, and writing skill.
Tacotron: A Fully End-to-End Text-To-Speech Synthesis Model
Outside of a Java-style high-level VM, cross-platform cross-architecture in the C world requires compilation. You cannot use what is not there. When compiling a C language, macros are used to determine architecture and platform, and extra code is simply not compiled. The most simplest of examples is endianness handling, which would be totally broken if Intel-compiled code is automagically made to run on arm.

Yes. The github readme [1] has more info:

Earth Enterprise is the open source release of Google Earth Enterprise, a geospatial application which provides the ability to build and host custom 3D globes and 2D maps. Earth Enterprise does not provide a private version of Google imagery that's currently available in Google Maps or Earth.

The application suite consists of three core components:

Fusion - imports and 'fuses' imagery, vector and terrain source data in to a single flyable 3D globe or 2D map.

Server - Apache or Tornado-based server which hosts the private globes built by Fusion.

Client - the Google Earth Enterprise Client (EC) and Google Maps Javascript API V3 used to view 3D globes and 2D maps, respectively.

Similar text appears on their 'Getting Started' page [2].

Used it a fair bit; gets expensive, and you get what you pay for, unless you spend a fair amount of money (some people have trouble being honest- maybe they're in too much a hurry). You can opt to not pay people who don't do the job, and that usually involves sewing in secret tests and checks to find out who those people are.

Surprisingly, most turkers (laborers) are US or India based. You can limit by country, or even by state. They average in the 30's, and run the gamut from ~40% full time turkers to janitors to security guards to police to teachers to attorneys and physicians. Many are high school or less, many college-educated.

Happy to answer any more detailed questions.

As a Kiwi living in California at the moment, income taxes as a proportion of income are much higher here than in New Zealand. Effective NZ income taxes are way down the low end for the OECD, lower than the US, the UK, Australia, the list goes on. IIRC only Chile is lower, though I may not recall correctly.

GST is a pain, but no capital gains tax is also a big win for many (and many states in the US, including California, have one of those too.)
I feel like this is what's wrong with the world:
"In science one guesses at explanations. One does not deduce them like one do in math."

As a programmer who took quantum mechanics in college, I have to admit, I didn't understand most of it. Someone I respect once told me that if you think you understand quantum mechanics, then you don't understand any of it at all.

The mathematical portion, vector mathematics with imaginary numbers, was the only part that was interesting to me. It seemed to me that mathematical deductions were necessary because the phenomenon modeled nothing in our "reality."
>The wealthiest 0.001% paid 17.6% of their income in taxes in 2012[1]. That's not "very little" -- it's likely in the tens of millions per person. The top 1% paid even more than that.

So what? How much did they have left? How much utility do they have with what they have left?
State/Provincial income tax appear to be similar, yes. But Canadian federal tax is higher, and Ontario sales tax (HST) is a gag-inducing 13%. If you think Ontarioans are ok with that sales tax, just check out any outlet mall in Buffalo on a Saturday.

A more useful comparison would be the 'effective tax rate', which of course varies by individual situation but can be done for some archetypes. This would allow you to consider additional deductions such as the mortgage interest deduction, which shouldn't be underestimated.
I think the general consensus is that if you can identify a specific property that has been stolen from you in an estate, you can reclaim it (from the estate). But claims against someone who purchased the stolen goods unknowingly, or general claims from one group to another, like a common English person against the Queen, a colored person against a random white man, or a Palestinian against an Israelite, those are not valid.
I completely agree, and I would say that's probably the historical origin of the Copenhagen interpretation. It was clearly initially a note-to-self that something wasn't right and required figuring out, and somewhere along the line that confusion became an axiom that later generations just accepted, not getting the message that it was unfinished.

Physicists aren't dumb, but they just haven't looked into it more because it's surprisingly not relevant to the majority of work. So they're just repeating the confusion of past generations as if it's fact.

But, particularly in my field, we're getting seriously good at manipulating more and more exotic quantum states. I'm working on things involving 'weak' measurement, where you really need to know what counts as a measurement or not, and how much - you can do a partial measurement and only partly (appear to) collapse a wavefunction. These types of experiments are becoming more are more common, and it's happened a few times now that I've heard people saying "hang on, what counts as a measurement in this context?" and then having to read a decoherence textbook in order to do their atomic physics.

With these sorts of things as well as quantum computers, decoherence and the measurement problem is intruding into a larger proportion of people's work, which means repeating the mantra of the previous generation isn't going to cut it anymore, people are going to actually read decoherence textbooks and decide for themselves.

Not an expert, but one difference I see often mentioned is the ISPs have a monopoly. Don't like google tracking you then use DuckDuckGo. You don't have that choice with ISPs. I'm in Worcester (second "most populous" city in NE) I can pick Charter or Verison DSL

The standard claim is that you need to be a better buyer, and to have backups for all of your suppliers. It can be painful to switch suppliers (and successful suppliers quite intentionally make it more painful to switch away).

The social world is entirely constructed, just as much as societies infrastructure. In capitalism the goal is to make as much as possible doing as little as possible, and the only way you do that is to become the supplier you despise. Personally, I believe a world with reproduction caps and universal income would do a lot to ensure that, at the very least, capitalism is "opt in".
None of these things contradicts what I wrote or supports your assertion.
Sorry, but isn't this argument logically inconsistent?

If Spain was going to veto an independent Scotland's entry into the EU before, why wouldn't it now? Why has anything changed from their perspective? And why so confident that Spain would veto anyway? The situation with a Scotland that had voted democratically to separate from the UK would be quite different to the political situation in Spain.

Also, why would the remaining UK have vetoed it before? There was a lot of fear-mongering going on before the referendum, but there doesn't seem to be any good reason the UK should object, and doing so on purely political grounds could easily backfire. If the remaining UK was expecting to remain in the EU as well (which, I think it's fair to say, most people did expect at that point) then an independent Scotland also being in the EU would have made issues at the border much easier, so if anything you'd think the UK would have encouraged Scotland to join the EU.

I'm quite sure the issue of EU membership was a factor in some people's voting decisions in IndyRef1, but I don't see how Brexit combined with the argument you've made here would suggest a different outcome.
I'm pretty much at a loss for words.. Disneyworld scanned your fingerprints? You let them? What happens if you say no?
What it comes down to is that predictable indirect branches are well-predicted. It does not require any insider information to verify this about Intel architecture processors. I built a "fake interpreter" a while back and found that branch misses in predictable sequences of interpreter code are very unlikely unless there is a longish common prefix of interpreter indirect branches in two interpreter sequences (i.e. one sequence goes ABCDEFGH and the other goes ABCDEFGZ).

This led us down a path of also using an interpreter within our own regex engine (Hyperscan) - not for individual engines like NFA/DFA/literal match but for the overall orchestration layer. It's been quite an improvement of code cleanliness and generally has been either performance-neutral or even good. When you replace a great big ugly clagged "if this rare thing happens, go do this code, or else if this happens, go do this other things, then ..." with an interpreter you can get nice performance benefits in the common case - even though there are not branch misses in the "giant clagged pile of code" anti-pattern.
She can act on the knowledge of the future. She could have decided not to have the child right? The same as she decided to act to stop the Chinese. It's very inconsistent to argue she had to have the child and that he couldn't have told her husband earlier, since she eventually told him. In the book that's impossible, the present is not affected by the knowledge of the future. Things go along exactly in the same way, it's just that she perceives the future the same way as she perceives the past. It's difficult to understand because we are use to thinking we have free will. The book takes away that and makes us face the strangeness of this hypothetical reality. In the movie it's just inconsistent in my opinion.
