No, it's not. The bank loans it out. There's a reason the banks offer free checking - it's not because they're in the charity business, but because they loan out the deposits and make money off of that.
The current script was political, of course, but so is the decision to change it.

Basically, their choices are keeping Cyrillic, and therefore implicitly culturally aligning themselves with Russia (or, to phrase it in a different way, exposing themselves to Russian cultural dominance); or switching to Latin, and implicitly culturally aligning themselves with Turkey.

It's not a question with a single definitive good answer. Different ex-Soviet republics tackled it in different ways. The article points out that Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan switched, for example, but e.g. Kyrgyzstan did not.

The other problem with every switch (including the previous ones) is that it affects all existing written materials, especially books and textbooks. When Soviets originally switched most Central Asian republics from Arabic to Latin back in 1920s, they used it to great effect to control what kind of materials the new generations would have access to, very similar to what Ataturk did in Turkey. Same thing applies today: switching the alphabet allows the new governments of these countries to define the majority of the written corpus that their citizens will have ready access to.
Sure you don't have that backwards? USB 2+ has isochronous transfers with guaranteed bandwidth and latency that come with guaranteed start-of-frame timing strobes every 0.125ms with a jitter spec much better than that. Ethernet... doesn't.
I don't think what we need right now is a world police, especially not an American one. But, since you mention a region on earth that you seem to think is in need of integrating with the rest, what would you think would happen to the region that is USA if civil war cracked it open? Do you think at least half of that country could be integrated with the rest of the world?

To clarify, Buffet pays a lower tax rate, of around 17%.

From http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2011/sep/21/...

* Buffett said that his taxes amounted to "only 17.4 percent of my taxable income — and that’s actually a lower percentage than was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office. Their tax burdens ranged from 33 percent to 41 percent and averaged 36 percent."
I think a metric is an objective, formally and specifically defined measurement. So get people to do their research and use subjective measurements, i.e. personal judgement. It may be a bad option but it is an option, and we don't know whether it'll be bad or not until we test it.
I am a citizen of a foreign country, I have a job in that country, I store my money in that country, I buy practically all of my products in that country. Why should the fact that when I was a baby, the US government decided to give me citizenship cause me to pay more taxes (or at least pay more to file) than my neighbor who is not a US citizen?
Do not forget about the 'latte effect'. You must include in the cost in books the opportunity cost of not investing that money instead.

Assuming an average 12.5 euros (13.70 dollars) per book, one book read every 14 days, and 7% return on investment, you actually spend 4527.97 euros every 10 years on books.

Over 30 years that number jumps to 31914.92 euros.

> Donald Trump becoming president simply means crazy idiotic proposals are now on the table.

I'm actually pretty fond of some of his proposals, such as deporting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes and making it much more difficult to hire H1Bs (I don't like many other policies he's put forth, but you can't get everything you want); but then, that's what happens when both parties ignore a large chunk of America. Public policy starts coming down the pipe that gets called "crazy idiotic", and then its policy.

American citizens are taxed on all worldwide income, why is it crazy that businesses should be as well? If you pay taxes to some other country, sure, you get a deduction for that. But tax accounting fuckery where you're paying no taxes on a large amount of income? Nope.

I didn't down vote you but your reasoning is faulty. It isn't causal that 'free markets and capitalism' result in superior space capabilities. The US had its ass whipped getting into space by the Soviets who had a regime that was very definitely not free markets and capitalism.

The US (and pretty much all countries) are 'propaganda' machines to one extent or another.
Dumping raw binary is a problem if you want your data to be readable across platforms or versions of the same code.

It is also a bad idea if reading a complete structure into memory is not possible, or a poor use of time. For example, if you need to read a single part of a gigabyte data set.

And the OCaml-as-JS community is small and very welcoming. How often can you get first-class support from the compiler makers as a newbie? Hongbo Zhang and Jordan Walke and Cheng Lou are all on the Discord channel and are extremely helpful.

Jump in fellas, the language is powerful, and the community is nice!
Yes, binary data is good. It's better to explicitly serialize/deserialize it, though. That way endianness won't become an issue ever, and the programmer does not need to be concerned over runtime memory layout of the structs.
You will never see that. I'm not criticizing Microsoft by saying that.
Illegal immigrants who committed crimes were being deported before Trump, H1Bs were already difficult to hire and so on. To be honest, I don't care what Trump does as long as he doesn't start a huge ass war or crash the economy, and I have honest fears that both of those are a possibility from someone who finds every so much harder than he thought.
>> this already exists and is in wide usage ... almost every (small) business you have ever dealt with works just like that.

The first part "Eliminate the corporate income tax" is lessened by pass-through.

Pass-through taxation exists in LLC/S-Corp/sole-proprietorship which does remove corporate tax and increases the personal income tax level. This is definitely in effect but there are still 9% of tax revenues from corporate C-Corp taxes which some small/medium businesses may be but mostly large corps. So truly corporate income tax still exists and tax games will be played.

The second part "increase personal dividend tax rates to ordinary income rates" is definitely not in effect. Dividend tax rates are 10-15% depending on income and hold time short vs long. The idea is that if companies aren't paying taxes and give that in dividends, revenue is collected more at the non-value creation end just investment end. Which is good and bad but great for cashflow of US companies to not have to pay taxes, lots of that could later be re-couped at dividend payouts.

Fair points! I don't disagree, and also think what we can find in common is that effort is usually a precursor to execution. As in, it's not easy to make laminated / official looking ID type things. The whole "Fake IDs" thing that is always a reasonable market - they don't have to be great, they just have to be good enough, right?

So that's the flip side, an escalation in confidence factor - oh this is new and it's not as exploitable! - is perfectly reasonable at first. I'm not trying to be sarcastic about this, but I remember reading that some crew found an exploit in pacemaker protocols (e.g. connectivity) that could be manipulated if a person had bad intentions. Who sits around and tries to figure out that kind of stuff?

Oh, right, guys like me sitting in their garage. Spiritual kin of Woz.

My kidding-but-not-really musing is that I've been an employee of 12+ different companies in my life, and I've seen how things work in practical terms.

The biggest security penetration vector that can't be digitized is human behavior, because if you act like you belong and your badge looks like you belong, yippee!

They all suck. It's a hard space to get right, especially to get right across 4 different UIs (desktop, mobile web, Android, iOS). And, pieces of the functionality across even more UIs, like the airport kiosks.

It's basically a thousand tiny cuts. For example, if the user selects an outbound flight, then changes the return date to one day earlier...it may have invalidated the pricing on the outbound flight.

Similar if they pick flights and then input a birthdate past a certain range. They are now an "unaccompanied minor". Prices are different, and they can't be on any connecting flights...nonstop or direct only.

Just two examples, as mentioned, there's a lot of this sort of complex business process.

And, most invested in their backend services during the "desktop mostly era". So a fair amount don't have reasonable services layers...the business rules are locked up in some layer that isn't easily exposed to all 4 UIs. Most are just now coming out of that barrier, piece by piece. Legacy is a bitch.
Yeah - I agree with both of you. First start with the boilerplate approach, and once there is boilerplate in place for a low number of entity types, say, 2<n<10, figure out if that can be refactored into something less boilerplatey.

But yeah, very seldom starting with a complex abstraction for a code you've never written before is a good idea.

There are at least some other interesting countries using Latin script from the perspective of every country everywhere.

Mouse, JTAG, serial connection to device under test, phone. Sometimes add a USB drive when taking measurements using test equipment.

So if seeing is believing, like with paper, how does this new innovation "fix the glitch" as it might be called? An RFID handshake? I know that we're living in a time where manufacturing small things for reasonable cost is possible, but at some point it's Turtles All The Way Down.
Reminds me of the time when they removed the "arrow" buttons on the scroll bar on Windows, or when they randomly decided to apply a lot more whitespace to bookmark menus. In both cases they had to backpedal, because Chrome is just so essential to so many people that even the tiniest change breaks somebody's workflow. At this point Google should probably just fork Chrome and make another browser where to test all the changes, big and small.

Articles include the problems of being obsolete at age 30, and a comment that Huawei is "cleaning up" the staff over 34. There's an online course on how to become an embedded systems developer by writing your own RTOS, and what questions Huawei asks in interviews. Somebody wants help with their square wave generator, which is producing a poor waveform. Somebody else wants to know how to drive a 12V brushless DC motor 300mA 2000 RPM.

tl;dr The download button removes a small barrier that users currently have to save HTML 5 content. The size of the barrier depends on the media but the justification on the part of the content owners/creators is the same: protect the value of the content or the website it was published on.

While the concerns are valid, if history is any teacher, technology will march onward and we'll soon have download buttons on all HTML5 content, one way or another.

Regarding VileRat, he was an active member in the online MMO EVE Online. Around the time SA was living it's glory days, an Icelandic company started EVE. A large group of SA members formed an organization in that game called "Goonswarm", which proceeded to become a dominant force in the game over the next decade. Organizations in EVE (called Alliances) became giant, complex things, and required a considerable amount of skill and a dedicated management team of players to run. VileRat was one of those.

Too little, too late for many of us, I expect. We switched to using MSE some time ago, which provided a way to avoid both the download button and other normal file-saving functionality showing up in the first place.

Ironically, the biggest problem with this wasn't the ability to download itself, because of course that was always available to those who chose to look for it in any major browser. The real problem in our experience was the customer perception that because an obvious download button had appeared, it was now OK to download and save content from video-based sites. Users, understandably enough, made no distinction between a site-provided facility and a browser-provided one when the change appeared, and just assumed the terms now allowed it.

I'm honestly surprised that no-one seems to have tried to sue Google over this one yet. It has upset a lot of people over the past few months, and in some cases it must surely have cost site operators a significant amount of real money.
My problem with Edge is that even if it did currently work better than Firefox and Chrome, I still wouldn't use it, because I don't believe they will respond to new technology requirements well. They are non-responsive and have a long history of not doing what users want, but rather doing what they want. The fact that Edge and IE to this day lack very basic functionality that most users want but has other whack ass functionality that users don't want is a testament to this.

Also their handling of security flaws is often terrible.

The grandparent referred to tax revenue as a percentage of GDP, which is a measure designed to compare the tax burden across countries without having to delve into the various ways of measuring income, applying tax credits, and balancing the tax base across income, consumption and capital. You just look at the total tax collected and divide it by GDP. Your employment in China didn't contribute to US tax revenues or (directly) to US GDP, so it is ignored.

Let me guess - you think financial advisors aren't worth their fees, and their jobs are entirely obviated by index funds with sensible portfolio allocations. Is that about the sum of it?

Everyone who agrees with you already nodded to themselves in agreement and scrolled on. No one who doesn't already agree with your just-so statement was persuaded to consider a different perspective. You came into a conversation about the professional merits of education and used a passing comment about financial advisors to inject your ideology.

Do you have an argument about how this differs from the Betamax case?
Is it your website as well? If so, the mobile experience needs a few tweaks. Especially when viewed in portrait orientation.

The arrows to go back and forth are tiny, and very close to the slide window. Which, when your finger overlaps onto, jumps around and zooms. I thought maybe swiping would work, but it does not.

The top menu links are pretty tiny as well.

I thought it worth mentioning because the amount of work to fix it seems pretty low.
It's true but we have barely any hardware news over there either. There's some cool projects in embedded, emulators, etc you might see on occasion. You're not going to learn hardware for the most part. There's also very few commenters in general much less for hardware.

So, it's a nice, high-signal, tech-focused site that a subset of HN readers will enjoy. It's not the site to get hardware advise or HDL from.

Generally trying to come up with complex compile time higher level abstractions in C++ is a waste of time. A better idea is to figure out a relational schema for the runtime presentation of the data and represent that with a combination of standard datastructures and PODs. I really, really would see mental efforts spent in systems design and simplifying the problem and not in findindg the best way to contort C++ to some other languages paradigm (on the compiler level - runtime behaviour for any complex dynamic data might start to appear like lisp but please don't try to make the compiler understand that).

It would be interesting to have some statistical data on this question.

There are plenty of anecdotal information either way: I'm 45 and doing quite well as a software developer. So, no, not a dead-end job for me. On the other hand, I see less and less software developers my age or older in my company and others around.

So while I'm sure you will get a lot of anecdotal data in the comments, it would be great to get some actual statistically relevant data. Does anyone know any good source for this type of data?
that comment strike me as odd too - the terms "active and passive voice" are due to the passivity or activity of the speaker in the events being described. It has absolutely nothing to do with gender. If they were called "masculine and feminine voice" to correspond to the same then the author would have a case.
