Hey all - I recently launched a mentorship marketplace and we're expanding into coding categories. Currently looking for programmers interested in being some of our launch mentors in these new categories (front-end, back-end, data science, full-stack, etc.). Mentors set their own availabilities and pricing.
How is it easier to run VirtualBox on OSX than Windows?
It is, but it's a dodge based on money from products manufactured and sold outside of the US, owned by a company not in the US, so it's still not clear how the US could legally insert themselves into there.
The policies to drive down the dollar are probably less likely to happen long-term (reserve currency, oil pricing, military purchasing, manufacturing offshore cheaper and to get around labor/environment/healthcare issues, Bush doing it also raised the cost of oil during war which benefits some people), lower taxes has wide support.

If more money/investment is back in the US then it may actually help wage stagnation and get people raises. It will at least happen in the small/medium business arena which would also love to have healthcare removed from employment.

To help small/medium business, lower taxes and remove benefits from employment. They will have more to pay employees.
And not to fix the mistake, either- just to take the blame.
I wouldn't say that quality increased at all, however it certainly made managing the forum a lot easier. I think around 2008 or 09 I shit posted a ban me thread with numerous images of god and the dinosaurs until I was culled. I had had an account since '00. I found by the time I had been banned that the quality (which is of course, subjective) had been lost by becoming exclusive. Sort of the same way an NYT Paywall made me lose interest in it. The decline did take a while, but I would say that when they instituted the paywall it was "Day 2" as Bezos said. The beginning of the end.
My thoughts exactly. Of course a lot of room for improvement in all these airline apps but the person was intentionally playing dumb on a few of those steps knowing it would double the number of steps. Of course the app should have better protection and warnings to prevent that from happening but since reading that on a phone with no swipe to view next slides and having to tap that tiny arrow that often zoomed in instead shows the author may want to focus on their own app a bit first.
No coins to provide transaction fees if they are all lost though which is what the person you were replying to was saying.
You only need to be great at the thing YOU do to be a great musician. Ornette and Chet Baker did a lot with "not knowing theory". Ornette has his own theories, as did Monk. Chet Baker was notoriously bad at playing changes from a sheet- but he was great at hearing them in tunes and hearing what he wanted to play. Ella had no idea about music theory. I'd say you are in great company. The best musicians develop their own things, and the good news is: it is never too late for you. You go ahead and make something you love- you will be the expert at that. :)

Voat had remarkably little promise and followed the standard tragectory of sites designed to clone a site for angry users jumping ship.

Moot, founder of 4chan, had some good comments about the phenomenon during his resignation:

>To single out 420chan, it’s actually one of the imageboards that I have actually respected over the years. I think that what's kind of defined a lot of image boards, even going back to the first kind of spin off from 4chan (which was 5Chan), 7chan and all these others. They tend to spin out based on a decision I make, or they don’t like me, or they don’t like 4chan, or they don’t like 4chan culture or whatever. More or less over the years, most of those sites have kind of fizzled out.

>While 420Chan started similarly to 5chan, (the admin didn’t like me), I really respect that he wanted to have a bunch of topics that 4chan didn’t have ... ["]4chan is never gonna have a drugs board, or a wrestling board, or all these other boards that I want, and so we may as well create a site that caters to that.”

>I really respect the fact that he really took it in its own direction, it doesn't look like 4chan. The other sites ... created a whole era of open source clones of 4chan that offered 4chan in a box and emulated our front page and everything.

>People, for whatever reason wanted to make 4chan that wasn’t 4chan.

The 9/11 thread was pretty shocking. Two things stuck in my memory from GBS/SA, the "All your base" thread and the 9/11 thread.
Apple is able to use their Double Irish with Dutch Sandwich strategy because they can employ the army of tax lawyers and lobbyists necessary to keep the government busy. XYZ Company cannot do this. So when you see that the United States has a 35% top corporate tax rate, you need to remember Leona Helmsley's observation: We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes. That rate would be lower if it were administered fairly. It effectively is lower.

Yes whats the long series of wrong statements? By all means please correct me.
SA was the first forum I really got involved in and I posted there for years. When I was there I thought it was the pinnacle of comedy; I'd never been exposed to that brand of humor before it, and I thought it was genius.

When I look at SA today it just seems juvenile and try-hard. Really, painfully unfunny.

I think part of it has to do with the stricter moderation; SA in the early 2000s was 4chan before I knew there was a 4chan, and I appreciated the raucous, sometimes offensive humor.

Moreover though I think you're right, SA is still SA. My ideas about what is funny have changed, but SA is still the same.

Sure, I'm familiar with that. But there is no such thing as a demand that a later round actually takes place.

That's up to the shareholders and if they don't want to raise another round because they don't like the terms then they don't.

Yeah so it's not money made overseas which was the original claim I was asking about.
This is a terrible idea. Just another overcomplicated system for smarter companies to game.

The answer is simple. Eliminate the corporate income tax, and increase personal dividend tax rates to ordinary income rates.

Then any profits that are reinvested are not taxed, increasing investment, productivity and wages. Any paid out to shareholders for consumption are taxed at the exact same rates any other income gets taxed on, making our personal tax system more fair and progressive.
It is not correct until that "As an individual I am taxed on income I earn overseas. Why shouldn't a corporation?" implied living overseas as well.

Stopped reading at:

"College actually teaching people how to think is increasingly rare. Only a small percentage of students actually read the classics, get exposed to a variety of ideas, or are actually challenged to think in section or seminar. And more and more, college has become an environment hostile to free inquiry. Even fifteen years ago at an Ivy League school I did not like to say things too far outside the zeitgeist in section, because it just wasn’t worth the risk of making someone in class angry. And I hear the problem is even worse now."

This guy is one of classic privileged techie types who's sad he can't shout his glorious racist sexist libertarian views from the rooftops without being challenged.
You don't lose your constitutional rights just because you form a corporation, a nonprofit, a group, or a party. That's the meaning of corporations are treated like people, laws restricting the ability of corporations to express themselves have to be weighed against the owners rights to express themselves.
Is this really true?

When I worked for US corporates I had to get a US ITIN, and then fill in some paperwork annually and/or at the start of each job. The paperwork (W8BEN, I think) told Accounting not to collect tax in the US, because the earnings would taxed in the UK under a reciprocal treaty.

The US is one of the very few countries to demand that US citizens pay tax to the US gov on all their earnings, and then pay tax again to whichever country they're resident in.

This tragic/hilarious asymmetry between ordinary citizens and corporations says a lot about the balance of power in the US.

yes, monetary velocity is the lifeblood of an economy, but no, lowering corporate taxes would only increase velocity at the top, and velocity in the upper echolons of the economy is not good for the economy overall. instead, you want to create incentives that create velocity in the middle and lower strata of the economy, where it will do the most good.

one option is to tax the money regardless of accounting technicalities that assign revenue to international subsidiaries. then it doesn't matter where the money resides accounting-wise, since there would be no special treatment of overseas cash.

another tax-advantaged option that's entirely within apple's control is to distribute more of its income to its employees (especially retail employees who generate above average returns on investment for the retail industry), who in turn would spend the money rather than hoarding it, thereby increasing overall economic velocity (particularly in the lower tiers of the economy).

we should hold the IRS (and government economic policy overall) to the singular task of making sure tax law is applied evenly and fairly across all economic strata, so that we all have an even playing field. we should not tolerate corporate welfare in any form. corporations are not babies.

"Apple is a US corporation"

But the overseas profits were earned outside of the US by non-US corporations, so why should they be taxed in the US? If I buy shares in Samsung, it doesn't suddenly have to pay 35% of its Korean income as taxes to the US.
This is a terrible idea.

For those of us (like me) who only really understand taxes in the context of individual earnings and income tax (and the ever annoying property taxes), can you explain why?
This is a good point, and I have an idea I want to toss out here- maybe what's really dangerous is to have a mutual defense treaty between a lot of states but still allow them to have separate diplomatic relationships.. so that a snafu involving one member state can blow up and involve a bunch of countries who didn't need to be involved. If there was a central agency speaking for all those states then there would be fewer ways for a disagreement to occur. So what I'm saying is that 20 small countries will a mutual defense treaty are much more likely to be involved in a war than one big country over the same area. I don't know if that's true or not- you'd have to do the number crunching to find out..
That's a big FU by Apple to its US customers taxes pay for many things roads, schools, police, fire.

Polpettine are different than the Italian-American meatballs that you'll find over here. Much smaller, and one bite in with the pasta. American polpette are more like polpette Napoletane (and for good reason, that's who brought them here) and quite often even larger than that. You have to cut them to eat them, even if it's just with a fork. Too big, in my opinion, to eat with pasta. I serve them as secondo.

> This has happened many times to me. It's quite scary once you realize it. Thankfully no one ever told me I was pregnant.

I was furious and told them to write my name, age, and gender on top of the leaflet in bold red letters and watched them do it. All subsequent visits started off with me making sure that it was the right chart. Some good doctors ask you name, age before opening the chart. Not this one..

> Care to go into more detail? I'm really interested in knowing how these details.

My mother is a registered nurse. Heck, she was part of the government that trained a school of just nurses. Needless to say, she comes from a time and with experience that would lead her to run around the nurses of today. The digression was to just point out that.. my mom knows her shit.

After injecting her, she said "OH NO" really loud and then quickly left the room after tossing the bulb in the hazard bin.

As she was gone, my mom tried to look for what it was hoping there wasn't anything else in there other than the bulb in question.

She came back and saw my mom looking and accused her of attempting to harm herself and tampering. She never physically touched anything in the room, just was leaning from her seat so she can see the contents of the bin.. What the fuck man!

> This is just called making sure your business is recurrent.

Yeah, this is why I wished Homeopathy and all those kind of things were actually realistically helpful. I think the problem is that Doctors are no different than road workers that periodically patch the cracks on the highway. Doctors need to prevent shit instead of patching shit.

No, I don't believe it is. Their actions help themselves, their competitors and their users. That's really as good as you can hope for with a profit-driven company.
Oh, I meant I expected to see more variety in these comments, not the article.

Why should airlines arbitrarily increase costs?

Its as if you think you have an entitlement to fly or something. Aside from the costs you put up for your ticket (and a little bit more to pay for the hassle of getting off the plane), I think the 400% of ticket cost cap is very reasonable.
I agree and the skeptic in me wonders if we can ever replace the "humans" in these roles with computers that crunch a bunch of numbers. However, just like computers, many doctors base their decision on statistics.
Gracefully accepting corrections is fine. I get that plenty when I visit Italy, and Italian is my first language even if it's decayed a bit. You don't make it sound like you're doing it constructively, though. Not sure if it's your intent, but you're coming across as though Americans are ignorant because they don't grasp the finer details.

Cultural attitudes and differences still exists in this globalized economy.
Premonitions like "Indians are poor" are the basis of western businesses misjudging the markets in developing nations. Get out of your cocoon if you want to develop your business internationally. US is not the world.
It is true that Indians(including myself) are value minded. You need a different business model that caters to a higher volume than looking gor higher margins. But, saying Indians and Spanish are poor so I won't focus on them is just naive. You could instead say - "I don't want my business, in a low-margin market like India because I don't know how to make money there." and that is understandable.
> it relies on timestamps instead of content hashes

Which means it can be faster. If you need to be able to write a file, but have the build system recognize that the new one is the same as the old; this can be accomplished with a simple `sponge`-like script that only writes the file if the new version is different than the old. (I like to call the script write-ifchanged)

> it doesn't rebuild things when e.g. compiler flags change,

If you don't tell it to, no it doesn't. You can easily combine the above write-ifchanged with the technique described in the article to declare dependencies on variable values.

> its approach to header dependencies in C/C++ is clumsy

Sure, but not clumsier than other build systems.

> it needs to parse the Makefile each time (which for large projects takes non-negligible time)

Truth.

> it doesn't have an integration with inotify (which means it needs to stat() every file to check its timestamp).

Which means that it works with NFS, doesn't have race conditions involving renaming directories, ...

What exactly is your critique of his Black Panther article? I'm reading it now, but I need more than just you pointing me at an article and telling me "It's racist".

Why is it racist? What are your counterpoints? What is your actual argument here? On the face of it, sans anything substantive to what you're saying, what you're doing right now looks like textbook character assassination.
Slightly off topic: I saw an interesting presentation once where the presenter complained that modern day developers are expected to do open source projects in their spare time in addition to all the work on the job and ended by saying construction workers don't have to do open-source jack-hammering. It is a bit unfair.
