These are property tax abatements. I don't see the big deal. Apple has to pay the property tax equal to the farmland for the next 20 years instead of the much higher tax on the datacenter property. Who cares? Unless someone is arguing the datacenter is going to use a lot of tax funded city services (police? fire? ... ?), Waukee isn't giving Apple anything. On top of that Apple is pledging to give them $100M for various things. Seems more like instead of paying property taxes, Apple is donating money to the city which will probably get it an income tax deduction. It's a scam I don't really care about.

If you do care about it, maybe you should be complaining much more about all of the corporations that are "Delaware" corporations to avoid state taxes instead of being corporations where they're actually located.

If you have system that just tracks changes and one that occasionally records full state, after you delete someone from prod you could simply overwrite old full-state backups with your new, post-deletion backup and update your change-only backups to replace data about that user with `deleted`.

One of my favorite Stanislaw Lem novels is "His Master's Voice", about a message from space (only accidentally discovered because it was recorded on mag tape that was recycled as a one-time random pad, which turned out to inexplicably repeat itself), which had multiple ambiguous conflicting interpretations.

It's actually scathing social commentary and philosophical satire about how fucked up government and military sponsored science can be, and the divide between the social scientists (elves) and physical sciences (dwarves).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/His_Master%27s_Voice_(novel)

Throughout the book Hogarth—or rather, Lem himself—exposes the reader to many debates merging cosmology and philosophy: from discussions of epistemology, systems theory, information theory and probability, through the idea of evolutionary biology and the possible form and motives of extraterrestrial intelligence, with digressions about ethics in military-sponsored research, to the limitations of human science constrained by the human nature subconsciously projecting itself into the analysis of any unknown subject. At some point one of the involved scientists (Rappaport), desperate for new ideas, even begins to read and discuss popular science-fiction stories, and Lem uses this opportunity to criticize the science fiction genre, as Rappaport soon becomes bored and disillusioned by monotonous plots and the unimaginative stories of pulp magazines.

The hypotheses popular before the existence of the Project seemed to me incredibly shallow; they ricocheted back and forth between the pole of pessimism, which called the silentium universi a natural state, and the pole of mindless optimism that expected announcements clearly and slowly spelled out, as if civilizations scattered among the stars would communicate with one another like children in kindergarten. Yet another myth has bitten the dust, I thought, and yet another truth has ascended overhead — and, as is usually the case with truths, it is too much for us.

The crabs likely have a 'notion' of the tides. In this case perhaps the high tides were increasing past the point where the crabs 'remembered' them ever going. Then the approaching storm dropped the air pressure which additionally boosted the high tide and perhaps was also directly sensed by the crab.

What does the first footnote mean?

> "Nor can they deny access to their services to users who refuse to opt-in to tracking.[1]"

> "[1] Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) [2016] OJ L119/1. See Recital 42’s reference to “without detriment”, Recital 43’s discussion of “freely given” consent, and Article 7(2) prohibition of conditionality. See also the UK Information Commissioner’s Office’s draft guidance on consent, 31 March 2017, p. 21, which clearly prohibits so-called “tracking walls”."

What, in this regulation, prevents the company from denying users (who opt out) access to a service they provide free of charge or a downgraded experience? And how would a court measure the level of service?

Yep. Most states charge some sort of "foreign corporation tax" that picks up the lost revenue.
Andriod is a weird deviation, and kind of annoying because the rift goes all the way to libc, which makes Android blobs incompatible without translation hacks like libhybris. If in case of GPU you can at least get something like Freedreno to avoid such hacks, but good luck getting open drivers for the modem and the like. So those blobs are a necessary evil for some devices to be usable, and there are none for glibc.
> Are you sure that setTimeouts are run in a non-deterministic order?

Certainly, if they are issued from different callbacks. :-)
And in relation to how they may happen to be interleaved with I/O.

Also add to the non-determinism bucket: the order in which messages arrive from separate Workers.

> Callbacks can only come back in an unexpected order if you are using I/O.

Which abounds and takes many forms both in the browser and node.js.

> A broken callback chain is not the traditional definition of "deadlock".

Indeed, but it is the same class of developer hazard at play: waiting for an event to happen than will never come. Admittedly, only a subset of dropped callback chains correspond to the strict definition of deadlock: those where a chain is involved in marking a state/resource as available.

For example: I ignore the next button press on a ui that disables the button pending a reply because I accidentally failed to update the button state when a network request failed.
A worse stackexchange
Thank you. It would be like saying Wal-Mart is giving a customer $5 because DVD is $15 there vs. $20 at Best Buy. Yes, if nobody gave tax breaks companies would have to pay more taxes, but that will never happen, Congress likely does not have the power to force states or municipalities to do so either.

edited, spelling.
Just like petitioning a king for favorable treatment.
I'm not sure I see what security value these features would add for ordinary users.

On a modern device, most application processes will be making some sort of network connections, and many of those connections will be to IPs that can't easily be identified, even by an experienced user. (For instance, a lot of those addresses are likely to belong to Cloudflare or other CDN providers.) You can't rationally expect users to make intelligent decisions about whether to allow or block those connections.

IMO, it shouldn't be possible at all for applications to run code that's created/downloaded at runtime. iOS has the right approach here. This makes monitoring those files unnecessary -- the only path for code to enter the system is through installing or updating apps.
As an Oklahoman, I think it's a little strange when someone at a Canadian university writes an article funded by the Rockefeller Foundation about "failing" Oklahoma, and has written a book called You Dumb [Epithet that applies to me]. I don't see how the tone there is remotely reasonable.

The author explicitly links Oklahoma to Trump by describing it as having the third-largest margin of victory in the presidential election. Hence the red state comment.

I don't think you actually read the article, because you assumed that i was lobbing ad-hominem attacks instead of directly referencing what the author has written.

Don't assume the law makes a distinction between data which is destroyed and data which is irretrievable. I can easily see someone arguing that the data is not destroyed -- there's simply a very, very low chance that anyone will be able to retrieve it. You and I both know that argument makes no sense, but hey, it's the law -- it doesn't have to make sense, it just has to convince a few people with power that you're wrong.
I'm reminded a bit of the engineering challenges of the original "Star Wars" program during the Reagan administration. I recall an engineer being quoted as saying, "They're trying to solve 10 manhattan projects at once" in order to get the whole system working. Self driving autonomous cars that present a near 0 chance of failure based upon current environmental conditions (traffic/bad drivers/weather/etc..) is a huge challenge.
Don't hold your breath. The project was effectively cancelled in April. There's theoretically a "UBPorts" project that may continue development, but, without any sort of company backing it anymore, I doubt that it's going to have much of an impact.

Sigh. Eugene Kaspersky is ex-KGB. If he really wanted to turn the tables on a patent troll, he'd get some help from his old comrades who have moved on to places such as the SVR and GRU.

I can guarantee that a few short illnesses followed by mysterious deaths (Polonium has been proven effective in the past) within the ranks of patent trolls would have a much more salutary effect on that activity than the $5,000 that this troll eventually paid to Kaspersky Labs.

I'm sure there would be downsides and repercussions and all sorts of political fallout. But we can dream, can't we?

The preceding was sarcasm. But "the usual stuff isn't working". Perhaps the recent TC Heartland LLC v. Kraft Foods Group Brands LLC decision by the US Supreme Court will help. But that decision was about venue, not about garbage patents.

That looks extremely similar to some TP-Link MR3020's I got on Amazon for about $15/each. I can't imagine the software is worth that much extra, especially since it's just some open-source slapped together (probably running on OpenWRT -- that's what I put on mine). That said, I wonder where I can download the source.

The lack of 5 GHz is because, IIRC, these little routers are 2.4 GHz only.
Interesting. I suppose we've learned from the past election that pride is pretty damn important. Still, I have to think that, in the long run, the "everyone in the family has steady good-paying jobs" type of pride will be more decisive than the "there's a huge fucking tech company in our state" type of pride.
I do recall reading about an experiment many years ago where a group of university students were blindfolded and taken to a remote hill outside of their town. They were then (still blindfolded) asked to point to their homes, and it turns out that most of them managed to point fairly accurately in the direction where they lived.

No idea of the validity or scientific basis for that 'experiment', but as you mentioned - that mysterious ability for older people to 'feel' weather changes in parts of their bodies, or that 'gut feeling' that a lot of people get when they are being watched by hostile eyes... There is a lot more going on to our unconscious perception of the world that we realise.

There are some facets however, that are easily explainable, such as people "smelling the rain coming" when it is in fact the higher moisture content in the air making our smell receptors work better at smelling the everyday environment around us... But there are some phenomena which aren't as easily explained.

I hope that we can begin to be more adept at recognising the unconscious prompts, which I think will make us much better are relating to the world around us.
It sounds sensible for cities and states to consider extending farmland tax breaks to data centers. Both have low infrastructure footprints relative to their land area. Both provide people close by with potential benefits in the form of better service, e.g. fresher fruits and vegetables and faster pings, respectively.
Man, you guys are awesome and endlessly tolerant of the slightly fanatical hyperbole being directed at you.
Isn't this exactly what Google did a month ago? 


(I know, I know, different type of developers. But still. :P
The state isn't paying for the data center, they are lowering the tax burden.

> only 20% of homeowners have flood insurance

There are a number of reasons this might be the case... it is expensive but I'm more curious to know of those people that flooded, how many are actually eligible for insurance. Just because you're in a flood plain doesn't mean you have to have insurance but local governments are responsible for setting the standard for what buildings are actually eligible for insurance.

So perhaps now would be the time to ratchet these up a bit?

> so some slice of the pie is better than none.

That's a run to the bottom. Where's the limit? The USA is already lacking in education, health care, and infrastructure. This is only going to make the problem worse.

> If it creates 10,000 local jobs, those 10,000 jobs are still going to get taxed. So the locale is going to get money, just not from the corporate tax.

If those jobs have been created in another state without the tax cut they would have gotten the corporate tax and the local jobs taxes (both of them). So you can see it as one state stealing the job taxes from another state at the cost of giving back the corporate tax. One state loses, another wins. The USA as a country just loses because what one loses is bigger than the other wins (being the difference the corporate tax). Only the corporation gets a positive outcome. The country is now in a worse situation.
For anyone thinking the pronouncement that Houston will never be the same is mere hyperbole and hand-wringing: At one time, Galveston was a prominent, prosperous city. Then it was hit by a hurricane and was never the same:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galveston,_Texas

On September 8, 1900, the island was struck by a devastating hurricane. This event holds the record as the United States' deadliest natural disaster. The city was devastated, and an estimated 6,000 to 8,000 people on the island were killed.

Despite attempts to draw investment to the city after the hurricane, Galveston never returned to its levels of national importance or prosperity.
