> Wait, but then if I hand my camera to someone and ask him to take my picture, I don't own the copyright of my own picture!

Yes, that is correct. Copyright resides with the person who provides the creative expression in taking the photograph, not in the subject or person who provides the equipment.

This most often comes up in the context of portrait photography/family photos. People expect that they can automatically make copies of the pictures of themselves that they paid someone else to take, but unless the contract is specifically written and signed by the photographer that the work is a "work for hire" and specifies that the copyright is owned by some other person, the copyright remains with the photographer.
This Esquire piece also gives a good idea of what it's like on the NOAA planes that fly into hurricanes (http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a12199665/hurr...), but I submitted this one because of the footage halfway down the article. The cockpit view from inside the eye is extraordinary.
Every single woodworking shop, electric shop, factory, etc I've been in they always make a big deal about _never_ wearing loose-fitting clothing, long hair or necklaces or bracelets - anything you wouldn't want torn off you at a fast rate of speed with force you remove or restrain. This is common sense and common instruction - I'm not sure what employment safety laws say about this.

If the cause of her death was loose-fitting clothing that's normally prohibited from those environments because it's a serious danger and workers have been getting caught in machinery as long as we've had machinery to get caught in - and the only reason she was able to wear the clothing in that environment was because of her religious rights guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (which states that her religious rights supersede any written legal code) then this mortal risk might be something she fought to take on, even if the company recommended against it.

Imagine for a second that you're a motorcycle police officer, where it's customary (even law) to wear a helmet, but you (for religious reasons) wanted to wear your religious headwear in lieu of a helmet. Then imagine you were killed on the job in a motorcycle crash due to a blow to the skull. Would there be a need for a month-long undercover investigation to uncover the reason you died?
> The most famous economic boom in U.S. history, right after World War II, occurred when the top rates on dividends were between 70 and 90 percent.

This seems very much like presenting correlation without any semblance of causation. Specifically, "right after World War II" is a pretty significant variable to ignore. The financial impact of the war being over (and massive amounts of resources being re-allocated) may well have been large enough to counteract any other variables.
Exactly. Some of these companies don't even have any capital. If Company A withholds payment one week, they can't pay their employees. Capitalism without capital! They are best classified as leeches.

How to create a successful, high-conversion landing page
Americans in the top 1 percent, and especially the top 0.1 percent, have seen their wealth and income multiply in recent decades as the rest of the country’s share of the economic pie shrank. Since 2000, a recent study found, the top 1 percent have made those gains almost entirely on income from capital, especially corporate stock—not on labor income. One reason may be the financial options of the wealthy: Business owners can lower their tax bills by paying themselves in dividends rather than in salary, for example.

Yeah...look at Bitcoin, Bay Area real estate, tech stocks (Google, Tesla, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Sales Force, etc.)...it would seem like 'assets' are kicking the asses of wages. People are getting rich buy & holding assets and with speculation than 'building and making things' (except for Tesla). And the low long-term capital gains taxes to boot just makes it all the sweeter.

Now obviously,doctors, coders, and lawyers can do very well too. To get to the stage where you can live off assets, you need income.
Cannot say what the parent wanted to convey, but that particular struck me too.

It is a basic safety rule in any envirnment where machines are present that you cannot wear any loose clothing, (like a scarf, or a hijab, but also wide pants or sleeves) nor jewelry (rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc.).

As a matter of fact later in the article, the journalist reported:
>I am told to bring safety shoes, and instructed not to wear a hijab or jewelry.

In most factories AFAIK, besides such a "dress code" there is a responsible that checks that workers are dressed according to such safety rules.
I live in an area that is similar, in the rural US. I do have a street address, a long ways up a dirt road, but google maps can't locate it. Not even the locals know the streets by names.

For friends and family, since I am technically savvy, I was able to figure out a google maps lat/lng that navigates to my house.

For locals or, for instance, utility workers that I can't send a lat/lng to, I have to give directions like this. "Go past the school, take the road to the right. Turn left at the cemetary. When you're on the dirt road, take the high road at every fork. After 4 miles you will come to three mailboxes all together, and my driveway is the 2nd one after that."

My street address also has the word "box" in it, despite being a physical address, so lots of places like Paypal don't want to accept it s a real address. It's caused me some grief and actually cost me some money, too.

So now Apple's privacy system is only stupidly more secure than everyone else's instead of absurdly more secure.

So 16 per day sounds like a lot more than 1 or 2 per day, but what do these numbers mean? Presumably 16 per day is a theoretical maximum if you were to generate every kind of privacy related data ever day. But is 16 really a lot? How high would that have to cumulatively go in order to be useful for extracting reliable info on an individual? Wouldn't the info collected on an individual still have to be associated with them? Frankly I'm not really able to determine any of that from the paper.
I don't really get this line of thinking, it just seems like a denial of globalization, automation, and economics. Instead of helping the workers it more seeks to punish American capitalists--including all the people like me who hope to retire in the future with investments that grow. When the rest of the world is developed enough that a union could span the entire globe, then this would at least be logical again.

As an electrical engineer working for the company, two of my assigned jobs were 1) evaluating the cost effectiveness of replacing all the forklift drivers with robots and 2) installing new equipment to eliminate repetitive lifting roles on the packaging lines. I was actually surprised how much cheaper the human forklift drivers were than the robots (mostly this was because we had really efficient, hardworking drivers and the robots needed special accommodations and could not handle all special cases).

I left the company because it was very demoralizing working alongside people who you were being paid to replace. But make no mistake, the autonomous forklifts would have been cheaper if the company had to employ the drivers directly, taking the hit to their safety record and bottom line.

There are other ideas for increasing the bargaining position of American labor and reducing capital inequality. For example, plugging up the mechanisms by which trade deficit capital returns to the United States (through economics--not by law, so by increasing property taxes in cities with big foreign investment, reducing the federal debt, switching to regional taxation system, etc.). Another example, if economics, as a collective school of thought, could reconsider its obsession with monetary inflation and consider if technology driven deflation is actually a bad thing. A worker getting a deflationary pay raise would be in a much stronger bargaining position and would actually be claiming some of the rewards of all the technological advances of capitalism by default.
I am confused. If you put your bonus into a corporation, you will have to pay tax twice, the corporate tax and your personal tax. And if your corporation is an LLC, it all flows through to your personal taxes anyway. So, I don't see how you shelter this just by putting into a corporation.

I've had a lot of people ask me why I pay for email service (I use Fastmail). There are many free options available. Email is important to my work, and the free options are not at all what I'm looking for.

If you want to play the premium price game, you better be able to back it up with a good customer experience, and Fastmail does. That's why you see so many positive comments in any discussion of email.
$1.20 a month is really expensive. I have a whole virtual server for €5 a month (and there are smaller ones) that hosts 10+ sites/apps.

Yes and we've seen the outcome - top 1% benefits too much, and results in too much concentration of wealth (along with other structural issues).

I don't think you can get an exact aggregate supply/demand model if you are aggregating over non-interchangeable products. To combine the models for different products, you'd need vector-valued price, supply, and demand. That could lead to strange interactions, which wouldn't be captured by lower-dimensional models.

The problem is that the drive-train is what car companies see as their "core competency" and have focused their energy and talents on doing that and out-sourcing the rest. Maybe they can make switch to "car making factories" as the core competency (Elon Musk says Tesla is focusing on "making the machine that makes the machine"). Not a huge switch, but those top engineers, passionate car guys at Mercedes, might not be as interested or as capable as factory automation engineers.

Where are all the ex-employees and leakers exposing the shenanigans? I do believe they have salespeople that suggest paying to fix things, but I don't believe they can actually do that.

It seems like it would be an easy experiment for somebody to do. Find a local restaurant with some poor ratings. If they want to cooperate, pay a Yelp salesperson to "fix" the problem and see if it goes away. If they deliver, then you have a bombshell article that could go viral.
This is interesting. Is it both rotated or reversed? Because your < > example, and your \ / example, can be defined as either one. So for example:

You can't compare contractor pay with salaried pay like that due to lack of benefits, etc. You'd have to lop off like $10k for extra taxes and a bunch for healthcare as well (could easily be $10k+). Maybe you know this, but it wasn't immediately clear since you didn't provide your own salary $.
Regardless of the article, the issues apply long before you reach exascale, e.g. on typical university-scale systems. PVFS' design compromises on POSIX go back quite a long way, and MPI-IO is about 20(?) years old. We've been running non-POSIX-compliant NFS for decades too.
Show HN: Solution to the Unexpected Hanging Paradox
My peppering of reassurances that Nazis are bad wasn't so much to protect me or my post (you would have to be very willfully uncharitable to interpret my post as pro-Nazi) but just an attempt to tailor my response to an audience which is likely skewed to the left and is a bit sick and tired of more simplistic "but free speech!" arguments.

But part of it was certainly based on how commonplace it is these days for people to jump on a word and assume bad intent. It is unfortunate that that's the world we now live in, where you can't even discuss concepts from a meta level without accusations that you secretly support evil ideologies. The culture wars are likely to only get worse at this point, with no end in sight. I don't really think they'll culminate in a civil war, but if we're not careful, anything's possible.
Not really, no. It's a deep problem that nobody has solved. Just because some code is on Github doesn't mean they're running that code, for example.
Even with laws like that large companies have a lot of advantages in lobbying for laws. First it's much easier for a large company to get lobbyists because they have the money to hire them where workers and worker rights groups have smaller purses to draw from. Second the things companies lobby for have nice big metrics they can trot out, profitability, GDP or job growth, etc where improving working conditions for industry X doesn't have a nice big number you can trot out or even really benefits everyone in a way they can appreciate where the pro-business side can draw more direct 'regulation X killed this many jobs last year, repeal it and we swear we won't be evil.'
No, that's a post-facto justification trotted out whenever someone questions the capital gains rate.
Salaries (and bonuses) are considered expenses for the company and will be tax deductible.

I believe the example was that you may as a contractor (with your own company) receive a bonus to your corporation and be able to offset taxes for another 11 months compared to having the bonus paid out personally.
>>ut these people don't want to get asile in Belgium, but want to go to the UK. So that's why they don't receive anything here. That is their choice ofc.

It's not their choice. EU rules say they should claim asylum in the first EU country they arrive in.
Probably spreading it out in some way? You must also have a have a future gain to offset that loss. The rate difference is to compensate for the risk that you are taking by investing the money. Again, as a worker you have essentially no risk of capital (only of effort).

Furthermore, I think you are misunderstanding the double taxation argument. The double taxation arises because the company has already payed tax on their profits.
> they're going to be paying Tesla for these

Consumers are going to be paying for these, no matter the supplier. I don't see why Daimler wouldn't be buying components from Tesla, _if Tesla can supply them_. So far the "Gigafactory" is just not big enough for Mercedes (2,200,000 vehicles/year).

As someone who works at a startup and has interacted with many others, there is some merit to the claims. I agree that these loopholes should be closed and the tax system reformed, but I think we should be careful to do it in such a way that doesn't negatively affect e.g. companies like the one I work for, which went from three people to 70 and millions in revenue in just a few years.

Especially as Vancouver is trying to build its tech and entrepreneurial ecosystem, it's important to ensure that we aren't driving away or hindering small businesses to grow while also not letting huge corporations like TD, Telus, or Apple get the biggest benefits from the tax system the more money they have.
Yeah, opticians here in the U.S. would just focus on glasses/contacts. Dyslexia diagnoses here generally comes from school psychologists or literacy specialists. The standards vary — in some places it is very difficult to be diagnosed, and in other places it is very easy.

I recognize that most of the readers are socialist progressives. That's not a bad thing, I'm here to challenge you to consider that a flat tax (no tiers) takes out all of the room to maneuver and cheat. You make a dollar? Good for you, give 20 cents to the federal government. Simple. And EVERYONE should pay their 20 cents. I don't like this meme that "it will hurt the poor." Right now, the poor can "vote for Santa Clause" because they have no skin in the game. I think that everyone would be more civic-minded, if they actually carried an equal share of the pain of taxes.
it's outlandish to think that your reading comprehension is so poor, but it true.

I mean what makes a good engineer that doesn't use cargo cult code? Actual deep understanding of concepts. A lot of people try to fly through the learning process without good study habits so they never really understand it. But proper study habits can be learned too. Obviously someone has to be a motivated learner though, you can't force someone to learn if they don't want to. I -do- see plenty of people without proper motivation do poorly. But anyone who wants to can.
Hmm well, I've found it to be pretty straightforward, I'm curious why this is happening to you though and there must be a solution...

One of the arguments for low long term capital gains taxes is that investments carry higher risk and volatility than wages. Accumulated wages grow monotonically but investments are inherently volatile and there is always the risk of losing everything
"Taxing investors less is really not what the U.S. needs now,” Saez said. “Instead, we should focus on trying to rebuild middle-class wealth” by encouraging families to save for retirement and pay down mortgages."

How do you encourage families to save for retirement? isn't a lower tax rate on investment income a way to do that?
Applications using MPI-IO are still typically run on top of a parallel file system. The MPI-IO API is, in simple terms, intended to create I/O workloads that should perform well on top of the POSIX I/O interface (e.g. large, sequential I/O). But my understanding is that MPI-IO can have some major drawbacks, like a huge amount of compute-side network utilization used to reorganize and stage I/O.
The problem is a strong multiparty system can get fringe elements in power.

capital gains is the leftover of profit after tax. taxing capital gains is taxing profit twice.

in my opinion, for a clean treatment of value taxation, either corporate tax or capital gains tax must go.
And the problem with raising taxes on capital gains will be investors moving their holdings to other countries to reduce their taxes. So long as the taxes on capital gains are kept at a comparable rate across countries, this isn't a problem.

OpenDyslexic also has more space between letters and words, which makes reading easier for some. But for others, the increased space is too much, and it actually makes it harder.

One other benefit of OpenDyslexic is that it is a very "heavy" font. If you're struggling to read something in Helvetica Neue, switching to any heavier font would make it easier to read.
