Both the OP and the reply seem a bit over-the-top, but it's a fair call to say that the goal was changing the subject from "who owns the tractor" to "think of the children!"

People repair stuff they own all the time, and if they do a bad job of it, they are liable for any damages caused. All that's really needed here is some clear way to indicate that this factory-issued X has been modified by the owner to be an X1 model. End of story.

We can't continue down this path of people developing software and somehow in the process picking up vast quantities of physical goods that buyers think they actually own. Not only is it evil, it's nonsensical from the viewpoint of the average informed person. The only reason it's worked as long as it has is that most people aren't informed enough about it. Tractors might be the straw that breaks the camel's back on this issue. People don't think much about the inner workings of their phones, but Joe Farmer fixing his tractor is a concept most folks don't have difficulty getting their head around.
Here is all of the stuff, filtered through Wikipedia's editorial process that is intended to eliminate unfounded personal opinion, stuff from unidentifiable sources, nonsense, and bias. Look, it isn't a hate parade; therefore there is no hate parade as M. Shuttleworth claimed. is a rather flawed argument, note.

Like ikravets said, the crawler just scrapes Github, so updating the libs is just a pull request away. As a library creator, I like how integrated it is with Github, which means I don't need to upload a new version of my library anywhere, I just need to remember to change the version in the JSON.
Not really worried, more curious how the collected datasets will be analyzed.
You're correct. That's all necessary. But there are separate steps / APIs for that (eg VAT id validation).
Huh this seems like a poor explanation to me. It doesn't argue that active investment will be worse than index over the long run, just that it will be worse most of the time in the short run. But I'm not investing in the short run, so I don't really care. What does this say about their long term expected behavior?

I suspect the usual argument about fees will prove more relevant over the long term.

I have exactly the same symptoms. My favorite sport teams always lose or some of them are out of history, are bankrupted or relegated. Some of my very good friends died or are very sick.

I live just out of curiosity, to see what can happen and how it will end.

You'd be surprised at the consequences of vegetable farming on an ecosystem.

Agreed, I have to remember myself that the hugging and kissing and close personal contact that is normal in Spain is considered offensive, sexual approach in north Europe or USA normally after some awkward situation.

This culture disagreements combines with only text communications in which people can't see the body language and tone of voice of others.

You add to it that people don't care about what they say on Internet like they care on reality. Specially after "text only" communication would require orders of magnitude more effort to express yourself without misunderstandings and most people only have limited time for it.

As a result you get an ugly thing.
Nothing, honestly. That data on its own has no value to me.
COAP is so much nicer than MQTT. MQTT is consultant-driven over-engineering and under delivery par excellence.
Yes, surprising though it may be to the vegan crowd, we meat-eaters are not heartless bastards.

Probably a bit late to the party, but:

> Once [BEP51] becomes more widespread (hopefully together with BEP 42), magnetico will (and has to) drop its current technique and support the new and proper one.

Why not be part of the solution then ? Make Magnetico respond to BEP51 requests properly, and you'll help migrate the DHT towards this.

I did read the full page. You linked to https://github.com/mpociot/vat-calculator, which appears to be another unofficial third-party source.

I mean no disrespect, but you're asking anyone relying on your API to trust you with their business. If you or anyone you rely on makes a mistake then your user will probably be breaking the law and on the hook for any missing tax. Moreover, by the nature of this system, the damage could be done in real time before any human reviews and approves any changes to what the customer's business is charging.

I don't think it's unreasonable to want more information than you (or your immediate source) currently provide before giving that level of trust in this situation.
> I find the one based on duplication of effort the hardest to swallow

Having a display stack specific to one distribution makes things quite a lot more difficult than just another desktop environment. That was heavily criticised.

Mir supporters often mention that the toolkit will easily handle this; but that's not the case. The Wayland version of Firefox still has quite a few issues. It took a huge amount of effort to have X11 applications work nicely under Wayland using Xwayland (copy/pasting, dragging, etc). There's still various things left.

Various things in Wayland are still a bit iffy. E.g. some Wayland solutions are specific to one desktop. Fixing all of this and getting an agreement across desktop environments is a huge amount of effort.

Then this has to be doubled because hey 'Mir'. Obviously that's heavily criticized. Though various developers just said "No" (e.g. Kwin developer).
Goods are - for now - still under different rules but there is definitely talk of expanding the MOSS concept to goods as well. Even so mixed invoices are a fact and any line items passed through this system should be accompanied by the relevant bits so the system can decide which rate to apply. As it is it only works in that one case (digital goods/services to consumers).

People just eat way too much chicken. The numbers of chicken consumed every year in most western nations is astounding. And those poor birds, the way they are packed to the point of not even being able to walk while they are raised, it's really a lot more disgusting than the final product shown in this article.
A few years before Mir started Canonical said Wayland would be the next thing. That was agreed upon across desktop environments, distributions, etc.
Super interesting, could you say a little more ? Any blog posts that talk about this. From what I gathered from HN part of Adroll's ML is in D.
Rio de Janeiro has these to help people travel around favelas. Really great as they can be installed nearly anywhere and they allow people to travel from point to point without navigating the potentially dangerous streets.
Some people honestly just need 4-5 hours of sleep. I used to work for Zillow and their CEO Spencer only sleeps 4-5 hours a night. It's all he needs and all he's ever done, according to people who have worked for him for a long time.

But these people are the exception not the rule. I think the reason they tend to be successful is because they are up before everyone else and have time to get a lot accomplished before they are thrown into the day with everyone else's schedules pulling on them.
Animal welfare aside, I find people in North America really in favour of chicken breast, much more than other parts, say chicken thigh. Yet I myself think chicken thigh tastes much better, especially with the skin (yet again it is usually skinless in supermarkets here, unfortunately). Is it because of nutrition (percentage of fat/protein etc.)? On top of that, chicken feet are considered unacceptable by many...
Except as far as I understand it, there seems to be a significant utility to fake meat (and it is more of a distinct possibility than zombies):

For many, there are few ways of consuming a balanced diet without meat. Take low-FODMAP diets [1] for example, which are becoming very popular with people with IBS, a condition some ~15% of the U.S. population suffers from [2]. For many, coming up with enough sources of protein while satisfying their dietary restrictions is not easy without meat.

On an individual level, picking the "harder" way for its ethical advantages is definitely the right thing to do.

For the scientist working on fake meat, their work is probably essential here.

Quite frankly I think blaming it on flying is incredibly offensive.

It's got nothing, at all, to do with cars or flying. They're tiny pollutors compared to industry, specifically the dairy industry, transportation by truck and manufacturing things in China.

Sure we could fly less and drive less but that would do fuck all, and certainly having fewer kids isn't going to solve any problems. Having fewer kids in the west actually just means white people having fewer kids in the west, we're well below replacement rate and are being rapidly replaced by people coming from high birthrate countries like India.

The only thing that will actually solve the problem is sustained government intervention in trucking, dairy and industry, worldwide.
Fun is a great reason to do this. Id love to see the Chicago loop from the sky for example.
I don't think the issue is correlation, but rather disparate impact[0].

Algorithmic tests have a pretty low bar to clear in IT jobs. Using them for secretaries or lab technicians is another story.

I'm not saying that I agree that it was a foreign power that did this, but there are motives. If you can turn the sirens on and keep them on for a while, you can probably turn them off and keep them off for a while. That could be bad in a situation where they really, really needed to be turned on.
This was intentional, and it was harmful.

Then you should say so on the page or in a separate privacy statement. Transparency about such details is very important in this space.
No. That's why it is very much legal for me to chop up a tree that I find on my property but not a dog.
A little additional context: Joel's "test" was just a quick-and-dirty way for a job candidate to assess whether or not a company had competent software engineering practices. Assessing your own team's practices could (and should) go far more in depth, since all the messy details are right there. The spirit of this article is good, but I wonder if we can formulate a good test that applies universally to all teams and carries enough detail to help that team improve.

I'm painfully aware of the EU VAT MOSS system and how it "works"[1], but as far as I can see, that doesn't explain the source for the near-real-time tax rate data being offered here.

[1] Obviously it doesn't really work very well at all, and multiple national tax authorities have already been caught sending unjustified threats to many businesses for money they never owed, among other screw-ups.
Compare the 'Quick Start' documentation of esp-open-tool to ´brew install platformio´, ´platformio init´. That's pretty much the point of PlatformIO, I guess.
Honestly, there should be no 'engaging with farmers'. There shouldn't be 'reductions' in pesticide and fertiliser runoffs. Erosion shouldn't be 'managed'.

This shouldn't be a conversation. It's been conversation and compromise for far, far too long. Governments should be being firm with farmers, they're incredibly damaging to the environment and it's not even a lucrative industry.
In both cases, the planet would carry on. It depends on your perspective as to which matters more, human intelligence and knowledge, or nature. I personally believe the former is more important than the latter, although that doesn't mean I don't value the latter as well.
Especially for small companies. The cost of compliance can easily outweigh the turnover in countries with few customers and opens you up to being audited on demand by the tax authorities in any country you have customers in.
Again speaking from zero expertise, would it be possible to genetically engineer coral lifeforms to adapt to higher temperatures?

I think you're wrong. I think that the Great Barrier Reef is something that average Australian really does care about. I think it's one of the few things that is capable of making people go 'oh my god, no, we have to do something'.

The thought that I've probably managed to miss my only opportunity in my life to see it is heartbreaking to me, and I'm a Kiwi, not an Australian. It's a national treasure. It's like, to me, the total destruction of the Pink And White Terraces in NZ. I will never, ever see them. Nobody will. And my future kids will never see the Great Barrier Reef.
Wow! I knew the Ke Jie vs AlphaGo would come one day, and probably the human team vs AlphaGo, but didn't expect the "Pair Go" (human + AlphaGo vs another human + AlphaGo). Interesting to see.

For those unfamiliar with CoAP, it's a REST based protocol for machine-to-machine communication targeted at IoT (Internet of Things) scenarios particularly in Home Automation.

NB: Unlike REST though, URLS begin COAP:// instead of HTTP:// or HTTPS://.

The questions are calibrated to find juniors people out of school. They can enter easily and get training afterwards. The training is not offloaded.

However there is some challenge with having experienced people. They simply can't answer the screening after a while and can't get hired. And who's gonna teach the juniors if you don't have seniors???

Personally, I moved to finance. I find that experience, domain knowledge and maturity is valued more there :D
No, my point even if badly worded is that I usually see this arguments as if eating meat and fish is bad, but everything else is perfectly fine without any kind of industrialization, chemicals, antibiotics or genetic modifications being used on vegetables.

How Digital Makes Connected Manufacturing Possible
The fourth industrial revolution has come a long way to head digital revolution, through the time of first industrial revolution when steam and water power were used to mechanise production, the second industrial revolution that utilized power for generating mass production, the third that employed IT automated production and electronics. In this blog we shall discuss about the pros of modern and updated technologies that have been influential to boost the pace of manufacturing operation efficiently.

The operation domain of general purpose consumer vehicles includes all roads of varying conditions that a human driver can navigate with relative ease, but the operation domain of e.g. an EU long-haul truck company can be easily limited to a set of pre-mapped highways.

Manual handling of problem cases that can be done from a central dispatch center would still require far less people to deliver the same cargo than now.

Crazy sale get any course you are needing for just 10$
Claim is it's not just serotonin.
Yes, but the customer isn't always a consumer, so in that case you get a lot of extra burden: pull in the VAT number of the consumer, verify it and if it is correct make the sale without VAT, otherwise make the sale with VAT.

Yes, but such sales are outside the scope of the VAT MOSS scheme.

Note that under VATMOSS any of the tax adminstrators in the EU has the right to audit you so it really pays off to do this well.

We're well aware of this. We spent a great deal of time trying to implement a fully compliant system when the new rules came into effect, and we were still among the first businesses to get one of the fake demands for money never owed because apparently with our vast resources as a little family business we were better at getting it right than several national tax authorities with the resources of an entire government behind them. If that isn't a perfect illustration of the impracticality and excessive burden of the current system, I don't know what is.

And it's the 'place of consumption' rather than the 'place of supply'.

No, for digital services and private consumers, it's the place of supply rules that changed:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-supplying-dig...

Of course the practical effect of the changes is typically that the place of supply is now treated as the customer's location where previously it was probably the business's location, so perhaps that's what you meant and we're really talking about the same thing here.

If the lack of updates inconveniences their customers and potentially causes loss of earnings, isn't the onus on JD to improve the update mechanism? Make it as simple as inserting a USB stick, and then ship out those sticks periodically? It doesn't have to be OTA or anything fancy.
This is just a lookup table. An actual service should go a lot further to be useful. Note how it does not matter what country the seller is in so that parameter can be ignored. What remains is a - hopefully always up-to-date - lookup table that converts a country code to the highest VAT Rate.

That's hardly worth an API.
