4. Trafficking in tax losses, sort of.
5. Creative transfer pricing.
I missed in the article what is the percentage in other countries making Japan special with 20%.

Btw. is there something wrong with it, if parents and the men are fine with that, what's the problem here? At least parents will have someone to take care of them, my wife's uncle is in similar position and I don't see it as anything bad, at least other children with better jobs no need to take care of them. Or the preffered option is to dump own parents to retirement home and stay in your own apartment, if someone has no problem with the other option?
Yes, Britain. We take it for granted today but Britain and France being allies was quite an amazing thing. They had been traditional enemies for about 800 years (let's not forget about the Napoleonic Wars earlier in the century either). The Crimean War in 1853 saw them united against a common enemy - Russia.

The Crimean War was also significant because Austria-Hungary, though not much of a belligerent, turned on Russia which left them without allies when facing Prussia in 1866 and of course the two Empires were critically still enemies when the Archduke was assassinated.

One can keep going backwards in history with cause and effect, but for the two points above, I like to see the Crimean War as the turning point of the European alliances that were in place at the start of "the Great War".
> Even WWII there was no indication the US would actually enter the War directly until the Japanese forced the choice.

That seems like conventional wisdom, but the U.S. started a large military build-up before Pearl Harbor. The military draft began in 1940. And of course the U.S. was actively supporting the UK through lend-lease.

There were still isolationists in Washington and even prominent supporters of Hitler in the public sphere (if you ever wonder how misguided people can be, remember that), but certainly there were many indications that the U.S. would enter the war.

San Francisco – Senior Engineers for the Amazon Prime of the Cannabis Industry
Backend:

Our core JSON API and many of our supporting tools are written in Javascript and C#, so having experience with Node.js or .NET is a plus. Have no fear if you’re not an expert in either of these—we love engineers who can rapidly learn the right language or tool in order to solve the problem at hand

Front End:

We need someone who has a deep understanding of JavaScript and browser APIs. We use modern frameworks on our front end, like Angular, Ember and React.

Also looking for experienced iOS & Android Engineers

I use them too, and it works well. However, I do miss the days we used Heroku to handle those deploys _in seconds_ rather than 10-15 minutes AWS uses to roll out an EBS update.

Interestingly similar and interestingly different to a project I wrote a while back called Hookah. Mine is specifically targeted at GitHub though.

I actually might not have written mine if this had been around. I intend to play with this as we want to start handling webhooks from other services and I'm not really interested in growing the scope of Hookah.

This is already a dystopian nightmare ...

Technology is pervasive

Smartphones are the most used technological objects (everywhere, always, repeatedly, compulsively, in the subway, on a bus, in a queue, by car, in a restaurant, in a break).
VR is massive, augmented reality is not (think about Google Glass): it seems that this sector has picked up the witness by reaching in no time extraordinary results and a public success that increased reality has completely missed. It will be that we are tired of the often difficult and oppressive reality, and instead of increasing it, we want to forget it, evade it and slip completely into an increasingly credible and perfect virtual reality. If this is not a dystopian nightmare ...
Drones, artificial intelligence, biotechnology prostheses, wearable computing, automation, sex-bots.

The urban layout has changed

Vertical development with skyscrapers, horizontal developments with the sprawl and the hinterland.
Increased air pollution, gap between rich and poor, extreme difference between some neighborhoods.
Cities are becoming cyberpunk, and some have been around for some time.

Hacking, surveillance, cyber war

NSA, Snowden, Prism, Anonymous, the US government hacking the network of my last university, the Golden Shield Project, leaks, whistleblowers, the power of the ad tech corporations.

The multinationals

Large business conglomerates closely control the market by often enforcing laws, exploiting the underdeveloped work of innumerable employees by compelling them to work at the limits of slavery. All of this, of course, is aimed at the production of highly prestigious technology objects marketed at prices often overwhelmed by the iconographic presence of the brand, a new divinity created and powered by advertising and fetishically adored by conditioned masses.

"Think privately" is something most people are not able to do right here, right now. The possibility that Facebook might try (in a future) to exploit my brain is only the last drop in a dystopian sea.

so in US they don't sell 2-generation houses? it's pretty common in Europe where I am from, not that common as it used to be in past, but they are still in market and especially in small towns/villages it's nothing uncommon that more generations are sharing same house or at least land, neighbors of my grandma from both sides are living this way, they are sharing their land but both generations have their own houses next to each other
Yeah, I had the same feeling. Just because it doesn't output my innermost thoughts to text doesn't mean it is not keeping track of said thoughts. As if FaceBook didn't already have enough data about me that could be used unethically.
Which is fantastic. Go gets IMHO a disproportionate amount of attention considering it takes 4 times as many lines of code to do what any functional language can do.
On a dataset where all values are 0, the answer can be found in 10 nanoseconds, if not faster. What's your point?

Granted I've never done a complete analysis of where all food carts are located but a few places that spring to mind.

Suk Soi 8 - In front of 7-11 but also across from a restaurant
Suk Soi 5 - In front of several restaurants
Suk Soi 7 - In front of several restaurants
Suk Soi 11 - In front of several restaurants

I could name tons of more obscure places that I remember eating at but the above are pretty well known to most tourists and expats.

They are not friends of the local business owners. They pay the police for the space. That's why every time they have one of these street vendor crackdowns mandated by the big boys at the top of the food chain the shops usually pop back up in a week or two once the heat is off. Police can't stand not getting paid their rightful bribes.

Does anyone really think that all of those store owners right on lower Sukhumvit (between Soi 5 and Asoke) want people selling dildos in front of their shops? Viagra pills, bootleg DVDs, etc?

Literally, I have photos of cops sitting there having lunch with these street merchants (Soi 15'ish area) with dildos and fake viagra sitting on the same table they're eating off of. Guess who that street vendor is friends with? Who's the store owner going to complain to? Nobody if they value their health.

Alas those photos will never see the light of day for much the same reason.
Serial Support on the Windows Subsystem for Linux
I worked on similar technologies from 2007 to 2015. With tactile stimulations, using the regular alphabet, a user could read a 5 letters word under 15s after few hours of training. After 20h It was taking me <5s.
The learning curve with Braille will be stiffer, I would be surprised if they can reach 100 words per second. They may start with basic common words, such as "ok" or "lol". What happens in the brain is quite interesting, you start to "see" what you feel and associate pattern with words. You don't have to recognize all the letters to get the word.

The technologie is called sensory substitution, I think it started in the 80s. Skin-reading is a funny terminology.

Does this mean that when I see an animal my brain reactivity just knows "cat" instead of going "well it a small thing with fur and whiskers, fits cat"?

If you can't access IPv6 enabled sites, you can't access Google, Facebook, Wikipedia, or Netflix, who all enabled IPv6 permanently in 2012[1]. According to [2], around a third of US has IPv6 connectivity. If AAAA records constitute some big problem, it's not well known.

Thank you, too.

I'm not convinced that propping up the price of labor directly follows from your point 1), which I do of course agree with. It seems better to me that the government do what it can to encourage the creation of jobs that are valuable enough to support living wages, rather than mandate that jobs which are not valuable enough to do so cannot legally exist. The former, I think, encourages creativity and the development of new possibilities, while the latter restricts freedom and limits the diversity of the economic ecology.
Release Notes for Safari Technology Preview 28 – WebKit
Out of sight, out of mind is insidious when it comes to friends.

Even for acquaintances I see it happening. My work has two offices. Someone I spoke to a lot on Slack moved to the other office and I realized today we haven't spoken in 3 weeks. Our Slack conversations were jumpstarted by things we experienced in the flesh and they we kvetched about it all day.
Physics simulations. I work in drug design, and my field would be enormously benefited by this. Quantum mechanics calculations are naturally reversible.

I don't think this is restricted to SV, anecdotally from various stories I've heard this extends to most STEM disciplines.
I still remember the day that happened to us. It was a Friday and not only did we lose data but our phones were VoIP so no clients could get through to use either.

I spent much of the day troubleshooting with their support before I figured out to ask them to tell me what five static IPs they have listed for us in their system. Turns out they changed with no notification and even their internal people didn't know. Spent more time trying to get our old IP addresses back as some of our vendors had IP restrictions and some of our partners accessed one of our internal servers. That turned out to "not be possible" so spent Monday filling out forms to update to the new IPs everywhere else.

I think I still have one of their senior VPs cell phone numbers in my phone from the late calls that night including a couple while I was having a party at my house.
> I've seen stuff being reported by MSMs that was well below the professional threshold for me.

It's not perfect, but it exists. That's why you see retractions at major agencies[1]. That said, they don't generally feel compelled to retract conjecture, unless egregious, and conjecture is often misinterpreted as fact (likely sometimes because of purposefully vague presentation).

I still view an organization willing to make retractions as a level above one that isn't, even if the line between conjecture and fact is sometimes obscured (because they all do that, MSM or not).

> I don't have an iOS device but since T-Mobile sells them I assume they work with IPv6.

My iphone works perfectly with T-Mobile's ipv6 network -- it gets a v6 address of its own and also anyone who tethers to it also gets v6 address.
What's even better is that the DLR consists of some pretty tight code. Historically I was using a ConcurrentDictionary containing Funcs compiled using Expression. I've found the DLR is just as fast (for things that you can express with it), with a much lower overhead. I've started using it in dynamic scenarios wherever possible.

Basically, this is going to be about as fast as you can get with the statically-typed underlying runtime.

Free potential idea?

Use the camera and a model to re-map the video image in such a way that it appears the person is looking at you, despite looking down (or wherever) when looking at your image on the screen...? Might have to use some kind of ML system or something to "fill in the missing details", or some other kind of graphics tricks to make it look somewhat proper...
> Though it could be attributed to the author as a smaller mistake, as Franz was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist.

Not to nitpick but he was a Yugoslav nationalist. Though he was an ethnic Serb from Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the time occupied by Austria-Hungary.

During his trial he stated: "I am a Yugoslav nationalist, aiming for the unification of all Yugoslavs, and I do not care what form of state, but it must be freed from Austria."[1] He was a member of the Young Bosnia movement which included ethnic Serbs, Bosniaks, and Croats.

The distinction will become important especially during WWII and later during Yugoslavia's breakup in the 1990s, and it's at the heart of the rise and fall of Yugoslavia.

Peter Thiel:

"Apple’s iOS at the forefront, the rise of mobile computing has dramatically reduced Microsoft’s decades-long operating system dominance. Before that, IBM’s hardware monopoly of the ’60s and ’70s was overtaken by Microsoft’s software monopoly. AT&T had a monopoly on telephone service for most of the 20th century, but now anyone can get a cheap cell phone plan from any number of providers."

Um, he managed to pick the THREE OF THE MOST FAMOUS EXAMPLES OF GOVERNMENT ANTITRUST ACTIONS, while trying to argue monopolies do not harm innovation.

Doesn't the fact all three of the previously dominant monopolies faced anti-trust decisions against them, before major new competing technologies sprang up, make it clear how important anti-trust actions are for encouraging innovation?
This was also my first thought.
go abroad, save money, return and buy without mortgage, that's what I did (5 years of easy job) together with savings of my wife and now I don't need to care about stupid mortgage like 90% of my peers, though we didn't return to my home country but step up a little bit moving into one of the most famous touristy capitals of Europe and I don't think we had some spectacular incomes when living abroad in her country, it's just that incomes there are much higher than in many European countries (so is cost of living, but renting is relatively cheap, so great place to save money for later) plus we are both frugal, so I never understood how people with similar salaries as us didn't have any savings, while we after 5 years saved for apartment in EU

if you can work remotely, then obvious option would be to find country with lower expenses (PH/ID/TH) and work from there and save money (many of my friends moved there, not just because of cost of living but also for weather, enviroment), if moving to richer country and getting paid more is not an option
We really need to just pick a date and turn off ipv4 because its the only way to make this guy change.
I think the comment above is questioning the belief that France would have packed it in and called it a day if Paris was captured (I believe the answer is no) not what would have happened if France was out of the war.
FTR, I don't get a prefix from them, either.

I tunnel all traffic through Comcast via a VPN, though, because I consider them a hostile network, so I don't especially care.
Some libraries explicitly document whether a given interface may be implemented as a macro. The C standard library and POSIX make these things a part of the specification. See getc vs. fgetc for example.
I hadn't heard of skyliner before. You guys may be a bit scared but at the same time, I haven't seen AWS create a nice api interface for their products. For so many teams, it is still just to complicated to set-up and get going.

I had a similar scare yesterday when Google launched Google Earth in the browser with a bunch of technology which, on the surface, competes with my start-up, but digging deeper, there is often still an opportunity, and they've justified your market.
Neat. As long as there is reliable communication throughout the different teams, I guess this kind of thing makes sense for space tech and other highly critical software.

Is this based on seniority, as in the new guys have to write the tests? That way you would at least have some experience with how to code in an easily testable fashion.

IPython 6.0 out, stop Python 2 support
The kind of class Marx was referring to is that of economic class, that is, class created as a result of the relationship to the means of production. Marx's view was that throughout history, various groups of people have definitive relationships to their means of sustenance - that is, who provides for them, so that they survive? In slave society, it was the slave master providing to the slave, for example. In today's society, the largest group of people, the proletariat, sustain themselves via the bourgeoisie employment in the form of wage labour.

I do not think that Socialism itself does away with the problems of humanity, but it does away with the power relationship between proletarian and bourgeois, and also all those other historical classes.

Communism isn't about equality of outcomes, it's about having the ability to apply your labour in the way which you are able to, in order to provide for yourself. Of course we must work to live (which is unfortunate, but Socialism helps mitigate that by voluntary means). It is totally fine, in my opinion, to have more than the other person next door. In a Communist society, the only reason why you would have more is because you worked harder, put more hours in, or were more efficient at what you do than the other person.

With regard to children, I don't know how to answer that question, and I don't know if there exists such a way by voluntary association which leads to such an outcome as perfect equal opportunity for reproduction. I would be very interested in finding a way, though.
>The only annoyance is that none of the existing Linux distros support this yet as part of their network client integration, so you have to script it yourself around dhclient (see the -P argument), which is a little hairy if you want to get the hooks right (I punted and just did it once manually and left dhclient running).

I think OpenWRT has all you need for this. At least I think that's exactly what I did with my ISP config on my own router just with the LuCi web interface.
I completely agree with your point. I've been investigating options for moving a SaaS application away from Heroku, over to a self-hosted PaaS stack (e.g. Kubernetes-based Deis). While I think I have a modest to solid understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, and so on, shit will hit the fan and I'll be the one to frantically dig through docs, logs and other stuff once it happens. I've toyed around with the modern DevOps stacks(tm), and while the out-of-the-box experience has mostly been really great, I'm certain the dollars we'd save are not worth the sweat. Once it's out of the box, it will break, it's only a matter of time. Someone will have to fix it.

I should mention it's a very small team and the option to split the DevOps work does not exist. I'm still evaluating GCE and friends, because the amount we pay for Heroku is ridiculous.

Edit: Also I feel like a need an AWS <-> English dictionary

Correct, if Germany had continued Bismarck's foreign policy [1] then the next war (if it came) would have looked very different. Antagonizing Russia in the Balkans, France in Morocco, and Britain on the high seas were rather gratuitous moves between 1900 - 1914, driven by Wilhelm II's personality more than by any geopolitical factors.

It's amazing how much hubris it took to sink the Second Reich. As far as I can tell, Germany was on track to win the war as late as spring 1917. They had the resources and the right strategy: defensive in the West (retreat to the Hindenburg Line) and offensive in the East. The last crucial mistake was resuming unrestricted submarine warfare at the same time. This predictably drew the US into the war. By summer 1918, the benefits of defeating Russia and Romania in the East were nullified by American troops pouring in at a rate of 10,000 a day, and the war's outcome was pretty much sealed.
