I'm not sure if it's the same in the US, but here in Europe most countries differentiate between corporate taxes, which you pay on profits, and employment taxes/social security contributions, which you (as a company) need to pay for each employee.

For small businesses the profits are typically what the directors 'take home' as their salary, so raising corporate taxes would impact them (however that could be countered by lowering personal income taxes), but it wouldn't cut the cash flow available for hiring employees.

I use gdb as a C REPL. You attach it to a binary that has the functions you need, then you can use them with the `p` (or `print`) command. Loops and new function definitions are not possible, but sometimes it's still good enough.
Definitely, Linear Algebra is next up, and it is seriously needed.

Police militarization is the not the non sequitur many believe it to be. The top two spenders on military hardware are US border states fighting very well armed drug gangs, and episodically its own well armed populace. Chicago is in Cook County, infamous for its heavily armed street gangs, record shootings, and close ties to Mexican drug cartels.

The claim is that Trump discussed information about a potential ISIS terror threat with russian diplomats (Russia is fighting ISIS and supporting Assad in the Syria conflict).

Then, some anonymous source which apparently either wiretapped the meeting or was present at the meeting, leaked the same information to numerous news agencies, complaining that Trump shared the information with the Russian diplomats.

Consider that sharing targeted anti-terrorism information with partners against a common enemy is doubtless something that presidents have done many times in the past. Also consider, that, if the source of the story was really concerned about the safety and secrecy of whatever intelligence assets were involved, he/she completely blew this up by leaking the information to multiple newsrooms where doubtless the details have now been seen by many, and possibly could make their way to ISIS itself.

There was one person who committed a crime at this meeting, and it was not Trump. It was the person who leaked the "highly classified" information to the world, doubtlessly endangering the safety of whatever intelligence asset is involved.
Usage of "intern" in this sense is much older than Common Lisp. The earliest reference I could find in a few minutes of searching is from 1974, from the MACLISP Reference Manual:

http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/MIT/Moon-M...

See sections 6.3 and 6.4 and the glossary for definitions and uses of the word.

Unfortunately they don't shed any light on where the term "intern" comes from. Typical usage is that a string is «"interned" or registered in an obarray» but it doesn't explain much more than that. Interning occurs most often at read time, when a string read from the input is turned into an atom, so I'd guess that "intern" is short for "internalize" or similar.

Right (and this is just one of tons of items the OP you are replying to is ignoring). But spending more then revenue just means money supply increases. Considering productivity/growth/population/consumption changes, this may or may not have inflationary effects. If the spending equaled revenue, it would be a stable money supply which may or may not be deflationary… oh, if only everything were as simple as our dogma and mental models.
So lemme try to clear this up.

You are right in that brotli decoding is only supposed to work in secure contexts (so technically not just HTTPS, btw -- localhost is also considered a secure context, see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=624426).

Eridius is right in that it currently does work over insecure HTTP in Chrome, as confirmed in this open bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=579606 -- in which one Chromium dev comments "Decoding brotli even if it isn't requested is both bug and feature. It allows developers to test brotli without setting up https serving." Seems like they concluded that it is indeed a bug, however.

Reality and specifications often diverge...

yeah, i could imagine that there is less "SO software dev" amongst C++ developers than Rails or JS developers that practically live on the web. I haven't done C++ dev in a while, but when I did, the libraries were really well documented. whenever i had an issue with win32 dev, i would usually get referred to msdn instead of SO or cplusplus.net for example
It's great until a patient dies and you have to inform their families. You are keeping a living being in a state between life and death chemically while they are undergoing massive trauma. Do you know how much their malpractice insurance is?

It's not just hard work to become a doctor. It's hard work and sustained excellence. You don't just put in the hours, you have consume an enormous amount of information and are tested on it constantly through the education process. You have to take on enormous personal risk financially in loans. You very frequently have to make large personal sacrifice in your life to get to the point of board certification.

Some get paid great, most get paid well, but if you know more than a few doctors you would probably be less glib. /me not a doctor.

> People by nature are also very diverse characters and as such can't be generalized in such a way. Some people need external motivation to live, others see living itself as motivation enough and loathe a high octane lifestyle focused on chasing some external motivation in the form of fulfilling arbitrary productivity quotas to measure their "progress in life".

Of course, this is part of our culture. I don't mean to generalize that all people are hugely driven, but that everyone pretty much has a base line level of external motivation in that we need shelter, food, etc. While not everyone likes a high octane atmosphere (and I wasn't implying they do), suddenly being able to do nothing is not typically a situation most people find themselves in. There's usually school, or a job, or something.

There's a definite link between what we do, and our identity and how we see ourselves, and our value. It's easy for people to get depressed and isolated when they do nothing. It's easier for negative habits to set in with fewer checks.

As for a "happy ending," we all have the same ending - we die. I think it's not so bad, personally. I meant this more like Warren Buffett's "internal scorecard". There have been studies about what people regret most when they are old, and most of those are losing touch with friends, and regretting not doing things when they had the chance. I wonder how that would change if we were challenged less. Or would we simply challenge ourselves more? (I hope the latter)

And just like you think that "there" would be a millionaire, I say it's just being at the end of life, and not having too many regrets.
Anddddd there goes any ally willing to share intelligence with us.

Seriously, we can ignore the biases in your assumptions about where wealth is created; you're really talking about the fact of inherent pitfalls and destabilizing aspects of democracy itself. There's far more than this example. And that's why all practical advocates for democracy do not advocate it without qualifications.
Agreed, I was quite disappointed. I actually thought we would here new sounds humans have never heard before. This was more like two instruments picked from an orchestra or, playing two bank settings on a synth on a split keyboard.

This does not appear to happen in other developed, western countries. Not to the same extent at least. I have not seen it in New Zealand or Australia, although there are criminals and drug dealers in both. I have not heard of such a thing in the UK, France, Germany, Italy or Canada. Is this an American thing?
i agree that there are n frameworks coming out every day, but the point I was trying to make was that if you run into an error or even a warning that you don't understand, you can now usually find what you're after on SO or even Github Issues given that enough people have used the product unlike the past where you had to do more of your own digging to troubleshoot issues. so even though the volume of new things is bigger, access to info about those things is significantly bigger too, so it kind of evens itself out

It's bigger than that.

Do you think pulling him aside and telling him "knock it off Donnie! That's not the right thing to do and you know it!" will really make him learn his lesson? If you do, remember you're talking about the guy who had his Twitter privileges revoked by his staff.
Now that's a title in the vein of "Correct Horse Battery Staple".
These were utterly unimpressive sounds.

I can replicate these sounds in a few minutes mixing on my 10 year old $120 Yamaha keyboard, if it's not in one of the built-in 999 x 999 sounds (because I can combine two sounds easily using the built in functionality), then I can mix it myself -- but it is already so close to the built-in sound.

Will be excited if an AI can make instruments that move me.

It may have had some real function as a hedge against failure of the commercial launch ventures to retain an in-house American launch capability, but this no longer looks like a problem.

I also don't mean to imply that there's abundant opportunity now and that people are lazy. If people aren't motivated by money to take opportunities, maybe there will be more of them and they will be more effectively utilized by the people that can do the best for society instead of themselves. Or if they didn't have to take any opportunities, would we just lose our lust for life? What would we spend our time doing?
AEI operates with so much of an agenda that it would be impossible for me to pick up that book and read it without the filter of AEI published it. I'd constantly be on guard for where the authors tries to inject "Regulation? Booooo, hisss" sentiments.

The founders are far from socially-inept nerds. Perhaps relevant in some cases, but not at all here. I think that the average socially-inept-nerd company culture may be better than what this lawsuit implies existed at Upload.
In itself it's probably not that catastrophic because the likelihood of that mail actually falling in the wrong hands may still be small enough to fit inside the risk model of credit cards which regularly puts convenience over security. Though it's easy to do it better without trading much convenience so I agree this is a sign that they probably don't do much better where it absolutely matters, stay away.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the day when Automated Theorem Provers can compete with top high school students on math competitions. My guess is that the way to go is to combine resolution theorem proving with intuitive pattern matching (via deep learning), similar to the way AlphaGo combined monte carlo tree search with deep learning.
I have found that good local shops start with higher variance but quickly hone in on excellence. It just takes time for the baristas to learn their regulars. However, that presumes the customer has developed their own tastes... when someone's definition of "good coffee" is "sugar, fat, caffeine", the barista doesn't have a lot of information to hone in the taste.
yeah, i'm sorry i should have been more clear

what i am interested in is:

i understand that solely utilising quantum entanglement, a ftl phenomenon, one is unable to communicate classical information but does this method utilise the zeno effect to afford this communication by controlling when to cease and reinstate the systems evolution?

two parties with entangled particles within quantum systems agree on a baud rate and the transmitter alters the systems evolution until it takes on a desirable state then arrest the evolution until the next scheduled modulation, then evolve the state to the next desired expression, wait for the next modulation, and on and on

effectively the information transfer would adhere to causality, the observer would be subject to the baud rate, but the distance traveled between the parties could be greater than one that light could travel within that baud rate
You mean like opiods? Or nexium? with a 50% addiction rate once proscribed for longer then 2 weeks???

I think u will find that most of the top selling drugs approved by the FDA have a host of side-effects that are VERY common, and then they themselves have a host of other drugs specifically to counter those side-effects.

Essentially the FDA is no different to how russia is run. If u have enough money for the approval process, u have enough money to rig all the trial data in your favour and surpress anything else, including research into competing drugs.

The industry itself is the keeper to all drugs, they decide what the most profit will be made off and then research that, get a patent, then do everything int here power protect that patent including not researching better drugs. Only in the worse cases of drug company fraud will the FDA step in to stop a drug.

</BigPharmaRant>
I'd fucking hope so.

Drugs should do stuff.

They are used to stop bad things, if lesser bad things happen they are still great. And if greater bad things happen to some people they are also great.

Definitely crossed my mind, but I'm working on hosts where installing auditd isn't really easy. Broken yum and apt all over the place makes installing new packages almost impossible. Same goes for lsof, but its installed in "enough" places. Kinda nightmarish, but it gives me a chance to write some fun code ;).

Also, thanks for the article! Super interesting. Think that'd be better than implementing something on top of sysdig?
This is an explicit theme of advertising for Seamless, among others.
Actually, no! That was icing on the cake for me. (I didn't need to "sell" the move to Dallas!)

I love uncomfortably hot weather, and Dallas has plenty of it during the summer months. I also hate winter, which Dallas has very little of. (We had a proper winter between November and early February, approximately, with one episode of snow that shut everything down.)

I also wanted to take advantage of Dallas's better, cheaper real estate, especially since I knew I could find a job in tech that would pay more than jobs in NYC. (My hypothesis proved to be correct --- my current salary is $10k more than what I made in NYC.) When I eventually start my business, I intend on starting it here. I have no desire to be in the Valley. I want to try as hard as I can to make something that will have investors coming to me, not the other way around. (i.e. get access to capital for essentially nothing)

Since "better" is relative, I always valued space and privacy over proximity and location. It is much easier and cheaper to get a home with a nice amount of land than it is in the NYC Metro. I would have closed already if it weren't for the amount of debt I have outstanding, but it is what it is. I love our current apartment but am afraid that we are going to be unable to afford a house when I'm ready to close and I generally hate maintaining anything myself and the complexity of real estate and taxes therein.

I've been planning a move to Texas since 2012. I could have done it in 2010, but I decided to stay for an awesome job opp in NYC (which proved to be the right choice at the time; I am extremely thankful for my time there). The opportunity rose again in 2013, but I stayed for a girl. (We're getting married --- in Dallas --- next year.) I had false starts in 2014 and 2015, but I finally decided to "just do it" in 2016.

Took me three months to find a job with the same take home pay; it is surprisingly difficult to find a job 1300 miles away from you! I felt pretty worthless during that time, lol. But I did it!
These sound like bad synths.
Nice!, Also when I click on Twitter link on the about page it sends me to a bad URL. Looks like you just need to add http in front of the link.

When I copy and paste the access URL I see it starts with // - so the link doesn't go anywhere, is that the intended action?
Well it's more splashy than the the release of the story that Seth Rich was in contact with wikileaks, that the family has hired an independent investigator, and that the investigator is getting strange pushback from the FBI and the DC police... That's for sure.
Having read the Scott McCloud book that focused on micropayments almost 20 years ago, and having seen so very many people try something and have it go nowhere, I've come to the conclusion that micropayments are simply never going to be a thing.

My guess is, at the end of the day, people don't want to think about money transactions when doing ordinary things. You know that word "gamify"? Adding badges and shit to things to make tedious things "fun"? Micropayments do the opposite. Transactifying your ordinary processes makes them less fun because you're constantly thinking about spending money. It just adds friction, even just cognitive friction, when everything we do is about reducing it.

I think this is also why Patreon is taking off. People don't think about paying a penny to read a single comic, they just toss a few bucks at a comic artist each month.
One example: REPLs can occasionally be a great way to implement​ helper methods or other well isolated functionality. I understand you might argue unit tests are better for this, but I would very strongly disagree they are better in every situation.

Unit tests provide some additional benefits, but are a heavier approach with a slower, clunkier feedback loop. There are times when those additional benefits are not worth the added cost. Unit tests are also additional code that must be maintained.
This is just more security theater to ensure the easily terrorized remain compliant with the whims of law enforcement, not something that will actually make people safer.

In fact, putting a whole lot of high-capacity lithium-based batteries close together in a concentrated space that's hard to access—such as the cargo hold on an airliner on a transoceanic flight—actually seems more dangerous than having them in the passenger compartment mixed among the passengers.

But of course Daesh wouldn't possibly be able to do anything with checked luggage, they can only operate in passenger compartments. Right?
I don't know if the $8bn figure is rational, but listening to Graeme Devine talk about about magic leap's vision for the future of mixed reality gives me an idea how they're managing to part people from their fat investment dollars.

This is the one I'm really interested in seeing. In theory it is the culmination of all the things they will have learned from landing boosters back. Given the thermal damage to the guide fins on SES-10 (another one that wasn't 'supposed' to be recoverable) I expect there will also be an upgrade there some how.

I found it interesting that the latest piece on New Glenn showed the booster landing with winged guide fins. I'm not sure that will work given NASA research into hyper-sonic flight with airfoil wings. If they can pull it off that will be a good data point as well.

At lunch the other day we got into a discussion as to whether a 'landable' booster could also continue on to orbit. Specifically if, after the second stage had separated and headed on, the first stage could re-light and put itself into its own orbit. I couldn't find anywhere that suggested what the mass of the booster was at separation. Would be a fun kerbal program.
I don't understand what the problem is with discussing ISIS with Russia either. Aren't they supposed to be an ally when it comes to dealing with ISIS? Do we really think Russia will do something nefarious with this little titbit of information? I don't get it at all.
Haha, I knew someone would comment on the Grass part. Nazi allegations are the comment equivalent of clickbait, sorry. In all seriousness, Grass' history was a hotly debated topic in Germany.

I didn't want to sound overly dismissive or hateful of Steidl and his projects, it just irks me that local residents rarely have a say in such matters. I'm all for publicly subsidized museums (n.b. I have no idea if and how much subsidies the Grass museum gets), but given the choice I prefer a museum that is interesting to people of all ages, all classes, families with kids... as opposed to a very special interest, upper class thing. That should have a place, too, but I would have wished more debate beforehand.
I always love quotes like this: "All jewellery had a magical meaning for ancient people. Bracelets and neck adornments were to protect people from evil spirits, for instance."

And we know this how? Maybe it was just made to be pretty. A rich person giving their partner a gift etc. No one could possibly be able to make any further inferences from a species of human we know almost nothing about.
Good point -- I suppose that comes down to the real numbers. However, that probably only makes a difference for certain kinds of attack: it's probably not worth botnetting Macs.
