Something similar to this happened on a train to Paris a few years back and at the time I remember thinking that it seemed like the stupidest crime you could commit. 40+ people to split the takings with, and you only need 1 of the 40+ people to get busted to lead to the rest (the french criminals weren't minors). I know I shouldn't try to apply logic to it, but... it just doesn't seem like a sound profit-making venture.
A largely meaningless figure without the included context about targeted cuts elsewhere.

That said, corporate taxes[1] currently make up around 10% of the total US tax revenue, so major cuts (35% -> 15%) actually stand to result in a 4.2% drop in total US tax income. This assumes no positive change in corporate growth as a result of the reduced taxes.

Apps that use in-app purchases are not free apps, they are priced apps that defer payment.
There are millions of real free apps in the AppStore.
"You don't have to agree with copyright law (and by all means, please try to change it!), but..."

Do you apply this reasoning to all laws (eg sodomy laws before they were struck down), or just some subset of them?
In this app I did not have to worry about that, but I can recommend https://github.com/sunnylqm/react-native-storage for dealing with storing on the device if you want to manually do things. I haven't built an app with React Native yet that does rely on local storage; however, with Redux and the redux-storage library it should be no problem

I do very much like Redux, but definitely that whole data flow layer can be intimidating. Wes Bos has a great free course on react / redux ( https://learnredux.com/ ) that can help that learning process, and there is the excellent courses on https://reacttraining.com/ if you are willing to invest a little bit of money on learning.

With all that said, you don't _need_ to use Redux or anything else to work with storing data. It might be a good idea to try manually storing with the aforementioned storage library just so you can get something working and feel like you're making progress; and then spending some time with Redux and (https://github.com/michaelcontento/redux-storage
provides support for storing data with react native). Good luck!
What about 'view state' such as which tokens have been typed into a typeahead/tagging style input? Or the expansion state of levels of a tree view? The active tab of a tabbed UI?
This is very exciting to me because it lets RPGs provide spoken dialog for everything (I'm waiting to see if they can do emotions at all convincingly). Even big budget games suffer from "you can call your character anything as long as it's 'Shepherd'" simply because you can't mention the character's name or any other use-content safely.
Honestly, I'm continually amazed by the level of absolute garbage people can ship with any level of popularity. And worse, get funding to ship it.
Why Juicero’s Press Is So Expensive
> The images cannot be shared publicly, she said, because the suspects appear to be minors.

Does anyone have info on the law here? Pictures that include minors in them are shared all the time over the internet and media - many times without having permission from all the people pictured - which I believe is still legal. Why is sharing a picture of a minor illegal in this instance?
Pretty sure that's meth.

50 Things That Made the Modern Economy
Just to make sure: for something to be "revenue neutral" means it can't contain a real reduction in tax revenue offset by a hypothetical gain through "dynamic effects" in the economy?
They are not required. Many more here who are successful do not have all or any of those things. They just don't talk much.

It's not copyright, but a 'right of publicity.' It's an interesting area of law, although I don't feel like doing a write-up right now. Basically you can't use a celebrity's likeness to imply endorsement; otherwise you'd see a lot more advertising with cartoon versions of famous people. This technology won't affect courts very much as it's just another kind of likeness.

I saw someone get promoted to a "senior" for rolling his own logging framework. And then starts arguing with me about how long functionality will take when he clearly hasn't got a scooby of what's involved (me 2 months, him 2 days, 2 weeks later and he's still trying to pick apart how the code even works).

One of many reasons I bailed from that gig asap.
This system is a commercially oriented fact extraction system

that can be trained to get the kind of performance you would see in a text extractor customized by the likes of BBN or Booz Alan Hamilton. You need 20,000 training samples to start getting good results.
Perhaps SugarCRM should create a new "Secure Enterprise Edition" of the product. The fees would be substantially higher, of course, with the proceeds used to hire overseas IT shops whose 24/7 staff would remained logged in, clicking the button repeatedly. To mitigate the privacy concerns, SugarCRM could create a special version of that administrative page with nothing except the "Remove XSS" button.
An earlier version of this article said something like "BART did not immediately report the incident" (can't recall exact wording). This statement or any equivalent appears to be removed. It looks like newsdiff.org doesn't track sfgate.com, so I can't find the exact change. Regardless, the article originally indicated BART didn't report the incident to the public right away.

That leads me to say: sweeping this kind of crime under the rug will not help. Instead, it will lead to a repeat of the Goetz vigilante incident in NYC in the early 1980s:

The ugly and frightening truth about vigilantism is that it works. Please note I hate the idea of vigilantism and hope with every fiber of my being that things do not come to that, but it at first glance appears that things are headed in that direction, which I am immensely sad and scared to see.
That's not really how that works.

For email I think it's better to use email service like google apps, office 365, zoho mail or fastmail.

For account registration emails, it's better to use transactional email service like sendgrid, mandrill, mailgun, mailjet, or postmark.

You are missing that the reduction should cause some money sitting in coffers outside to flow back in to US. Microsoft, Apple, Goog etc have billions of dollars parked outside the country.

My current new iPhone SE is pretty good, as smartphones go - until the recent release of the 7, it had the longest battery life of any Apple phone, and still hangs right with it.

I really miss my old Palm Treo 755P, though - it ran a solid three days or more on a charge. I didn't even pack the charger unless I was gone longer than that. (It also had better contact and calendar capabilities than any modern smartphone/app combo I'm aware of...)

Sadly, smartphone mfrs don't think battery life is important (partly b/c they're expensive), so we keep getting the minimum they can get away with.
Hopefully the app uses something less power-hungry than JS and a web browser to render the video. Ideally we wouldn't be using those for that task anywhere else either, but that battle's been lost.

Also: if they make you install an app they can track you better, and make it harder to block their ads/spying.

I 100% agree with you. Atlassian is 100% responsible. I'm not sure I would not say they are at 'fault' though. Maybe I'm just quibbling over semantics.

I don't know the details of the vulnerability - I would say they were at fault if they did not update/patch a fixed vulnerability.
Sounds like you'd prefer an Android device, I've seen great numbers from Moto there and they tend to have relatively stock Android builds compared to Samsung Touch-Wiz. Otherwise it's hard to go wrong with an iPhone, especially the 6/6s/7 Plus in most any regard.
Likely as he thought he was in a non extradition country so probably didn't think his arrest was likely.
Two thoughts on stories on taxes:

1) I'd prefer stories on government finances tell the whole story: Slashing taxes and government services by X. That may or may not be an acceptable trade-off, but usually it's presented as something like Walmart is slashing prices - there's a sale! - only looking at the cost side.

2) Present it as the zero-sum situation it is: If person A pays less, everyone else has to pay more for the same result. Somehow, people have to pay for things, and I think it's widely accepted that people should be making roughly equivalent sacrifices.

(That's not a call for a flat tax rate; 10% of income is much more of a sacrifice to someone making $10K than to someone making $1 million. FWIW, another HN reader told me recently that research says there is roughly a logarithmic relationship between utility and dollar amount.)
It's not a personal attack because I don't actually know anything about you, and I'm not claiming to. I'm making that statement in regard to your two posts up the chain. They are statements that don't reveal any solid, usable points other than to say "simpler code is easier to understand, sometimes performance doesn't matter as much" but in such a strong form as to suggest that the advice plays out a lot in the real world. It doesn't.
Wonderful explanation. Thank you!

It makes more sense if you look at it as a territorial dominance display. "They" are in "our" territory so we're going to assault and humiliate them.
I get that one still needs a capacitor or battery. My intuition is that this is still better energy density in watt hours per pound than a battery. Maybe I'm just too used to old battery tech.

"The rent of land, therefore, considered as the price paid for the use of the land, is naturally a monopoly price. It is not at all proportioned to what the landlord may have laid out upon the improvement of the land, or to what he can afford to take; but to what the farmer can afford to give." - Adam Smith

The App Store developers are now farmers on Apple's domain, and their landlord has figured out they can pay more.

Err on the side of caution. Draw the line as far as practically possible. We have a long history of underestimating the mental abilities of other animals. Heck, now we've got evidence of ants passing the mirror test.
This makes sense, but seems unlikely to be what most people hear when you say something is in maintenance mode. In particular, "keep the lights on" is a death sentence for most projects.
Sometimes non-founder CEOs are worth it and can completely turn around the fortunes of a company. For example, Eisner for Disney, Kroc for McDonald's, Welch for GE, Jobs (the second time around), and either Ballmer or Nadela (depending on which one you pick). So I don't think the founder / non-founder distinction holds up.

Probably a base model iPhone every 2.5 years @ ~$720 after tax/state fees, and $1645.90 for a base model MacBook Pro every 3 years. Figure OP might bump some specs up to hit the $1k spend a year mark, but minimum your spending $800 a year for a decent environment to target iOS.

And this is why I haven't made any apps for iOS :P

It would be amazing if this were a precursor to the "Apple tax" being lowered. If Apple is going to lower their 30% take on app sales, then perhaps that requires lowering these affiliate commissions. I know this is probably wishful thinking, but as the author of this[1], I will hold out hope...

Healthcare isn't really working anywhere in the world. All systems deny healthcare to people who need it; the alternative is not possible for any economy.

I think it was just a few months ago that some girl in the UK headed to the USA for surgery, mortgaging a house to get it. The UK had decided that the surgery might not be the cheapest option that would meet a low-end standard of care, so they said no. That was it: leave the country, get an inferior surgery, or be permanently deformed.

That is typical. Also typical is "yes, of course, but the waiting list is 2 years". Also typical is "denied for people over age 60". For example, a hospital in the USA gave my 80-year-old grandmother hepatitis. Being the USA, she got a treatment that costs about $100,000. At her age, that would have been denied under the typical government healthcare system. It wouldn't be cost-effective you see, so she would just die.

So the fantasy of everybody getting the very best is out. It won't happen. It can't happen. How would you like to deny healthcare to people?

In the USA, we are really touchy about having the government say "no". We are also really touchy about paying for other people, especially people who don't seem to contribute much to society. That is just how Americans feel, on average. Life expectancy and infant mortality metrics are just fine in the USA if you ignore the poor, as typical Americans do. When you say that socialized health care helps, and you point to averages, you aren't selling Americans on the idea. The better-off Americans want care that is better and cheaper, not available to more people.
Every single phone I've had I've installed clean ROMs without any extras, and with multiple governors to choose from. Undervolting was useful every single time, too. But that's just optimizing your phone.

Sadly I don't know any phone that will last more than 5 hours of total screen on time (web browser, emails, notes app, messages, with 3G/wifi/Bluetooth on).

Every generation has some ridiculous additions (4K displays, LTE, more RAM and Ghz) that make battery life the same as a good old Droid.

Ive been using a HTC One M8 and can squeeze 5 hours of screen on (screen+3G/Wifi+BT, never LTE) time even with adaptive brightness on (which runs it at 100% a lot of times), on CyanogenMod (Android 5.1) with no extra crap. That's enough for a good day of use - charge at night, use during the day, it's at about 30% in the evening. GPS use can kill it though.

I would love a phone that can last 12 hours straight like that :)
> Many have always argued that it has.

Alright, I'm arguing that it doesn't.

Basically any powerful/impressive weapon can be justified to have upside as it might reduce further casualties by ending conflict sooner.

And looking at trench warfare, if there had been a way to make it completely unfeasible by being able to "permanently" poison an entire field at a time, perhaps that would have turned out better.
Nope, spot on. You either cache extremely aggressively with a CDN if you can, or otherwise you eat the data out charges for dynamic data.

I think it actually is (one of) the intended uses of this tool. I've been told directly by the managers of this program at Apple that it's meant to reward app developers for driving traffic to the App Store.
It's hardly an emergency latch if you have to read a manual first.

That would be like hiding a fire alarm or exitinguisher behind a painting and placing a small sign underneath indicating it's presence, hardly useful in a real emergency unless people are informed.

This is more accurately described as a manual backup since you apparently have to remove a speaker grill to access it.
40 to 60 teens working in concert? that's the real news here
One of the core arguments of article is misleading, since it claims McDonald's is a real estate company based on the share of Net Income coming from owned versus franchised restaurants. The share of Net Income is a misleading comparison, because
(1)it fails to account for the cost of capital associated in owning real estate
(2) over 85% of McDonalds are franchised, the remaining 15% produce all of that income, so even on this misleading basis of just considering net income, the profits are more balanced than the article makes it appear.

- percent franchised vs owned https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2016/04/03/what-perce...

This is not multi-cloud as it is commonly defined: Simultaneously handle workloads with multiple cloud vendors, to prevent lock-in to a single vendor. Rather, this is passing workloads between AWS and Google to leverage the advantages of each. A useful strategy, but the title is a bit misleading as it goes against the colloquial definition of multi-cloud.
The EU just limited credit card fees to be below 0.25%.

The way I look at it, a good CEO can save a company millions (or even billions if it's a large company like Sony) by negotiating better contracts. That is a skill some CEOs have.

Now, if you're going to hire a CEO with that skill, do you think he's not going to also negotiate a good contract for himself? He has that skill.
I would certainly blame Google if their Android phones were backdoored, especially if they tried to foist the blame off on the Linux kernel developers - a much more apt analogy since they sell Android phones.

I'm thinking to buy hololens. But I'm concerned about some aspects i've been reading and watching. Hope you guys help me.
My main use would be for write/read several documents in word at same time (like 10 different word documents). Do you recommend to buy hololens for this purpose? What about resolution for read/write? Is it possible to have 10 different documents working at same time? What about FOV, will it be enough for this use? would you recommend me hololens or meta 2 or magic leap. Or even Htc vive?.

The incentives to go electric in Beijing are high.
Beijing has high-pollution days when only even or odd license plate cars are allowed to operate. Electrics are exempt. Taxis are being forced to go electric.

I've been playing around with my own glob implementation. From what I've seen, the simplified algorithm mentioned in the article wouldn't be able to handle question marks. In particular, I don't think a non-backtracking algorithm can handle a pattern like "?a?a?a?a?b". I've been working to minimize the worst-case behavior, but it's tricky.
Is there evidence of this? Tax reduction proponents often claim some offsetting benefit, but rarely does it seem to come true. Look up the Laffer Curve from the 1980s, when the Reagan administration claimed that tax cuts would spur economic activity and actually increase tax revenue.

Also, to a degree it's based on the premise that these companies are overwhelmed with high taxes and that is determining their behavior. Perhaps they have other motives or the rate isn't really too high for them.
