I feel a bit like I'm being trolled, but just to close the gap between our positions, that's exactly the point of my original post: you need to look up the primary sources so that you can tell if the spin is accurate. It was never my intention to suggest that Wikipedia is more or less trustworthy than any other random site on the internet. Rather, because both sites reference the same study and come to exactly opposite conclusions, it's a good indication that you should read the original paper. It is my opinion that the Wikipedia article in this case is considerably more accurate than the original linked article. I'm not quite sure how the original article came to the conclusion they did, unless they were being intentionally misleading, to be completely honest. Again, I highly recommend reading the paper if you are interested in making your own conclusion.
They also probably grow up together, have similar diets, speak the same language... there are lots of correlated environmental factors with twins aside from their DNA.

A better comparison would be separated twins (widely separated). But I'm not sure if anyone has looked at the relative differences between twins raised together vs apart.
That 15% figure seems dubious. It's a primal desire. It may have just been a polite response.
No. While economics are important, a place employees will want to live is also important
This concept is really not at all portable to software, especially security. It's a tempting analogy, but an invalid one.
Meh. It beats the old days. At no point in human history have we been so comfortable.

It's hard, yes, but we only have eight hours every weekday forced out of us. That's a bit different from the past.
Not really, but it's better to have official residency somewhere, though. Some countries are quite flexible on residency, however. Cyprus offers residency after spending 60 days per year in the country, and exempts foreign income from tax. In Malta you can get residency by paying €20k a year (no requirement to spend any time in the country), and foreign income is also exempt from tax, etc.

> That being said, there are countries with loose taxation like Thailand where you can establish residence and avoid taxes as long as you are not operating in the country itself.

I believe you can run foreign companies from Thailand without having to pay tax there, as they have no CFC laws. So the example the poster above gave basically applies, but you would book all your income in ForeignCo and take a small salary in the Thai company from fees you charge ForeignCo. That's essentially a zero tax country then.

It takes a pretty good return on an investment to make back what you lose on rent.

The point I'm making is that buying a house is an investment, and renting is not.

I've done both, I've rented for long periods of my life. In San Francisco, among other places. I've also bought two houses.

I wish I had seen the economics of buying much sooner, because renting is throwing money away. When I was younger I was comparing mortgage payments to rent, and it didn't seem to make much difference. But if I'd realized that rent is gone and mortgage payments come back, I'd have tried to buy much sooner.

Renting is more expensive than buying in every county I've ever lived, including SF. So the argument that you could rent and invest instead of buying doesn't make sense to me. If you can rent and invest, then you can buy and invest. As long as you can afford the down payment, which is the main barrier to entry.

In your example, I could end up with 927k, but you have to subtract your rent. If your rent is 3k/mo, then you'd have spent 375k on rent for a net return of 550k. And you had to pay both the 3k/mo investment and 3k/mo rent at the same time.

Chances are pretty good in some places that if you buy a house for 350k, after 10 years it will sell for 550k, and you could still afford the side 3k investment per month and get the 927k on top of it, for a total of ~1.4M.

It still seems really clear cut to me.
What is the last part of your comment in reference to?
SSM was banned when it did not have popular support and will now be unbanned when it has popular support. It is a philosophical position, but I think large change should come with popular support and if you don't have popular support for your idea then keep working until you do.

It is worth debating if the civil rights act should have been enacted before it had popular support. Rather than undermining the basis of suppression, imposing something on the majority without their support brings a resulting backlash that can last generations. We only have to look what drove the last 50 years of politics in the US south to see the result. From my comfortable perspective it might have been better to let the south come to its own opinion (with a lot of outside nudging) that things really had to change.
Interesting find. It opens an embedded browser window to OAth with Slack, but after that closes nothing happens to the main window (i.e. the account never gets added).

Hello! Reason team member here.

With that kind of exposure comes some pretty negative snarks & unrelated criticisms that are hard to counter in a post/tweet. I've left a few replies on this thread but I'll still try my best to answer the questions here =) (but before that, please do give https://reasonml.github.io/guide/what-and-why a look).
You can actually use Messenger with a deactivated Facebook account - pretty cool if you just don't want to bother with Facebook at all.
While selling devices with schematics was a common practice everywhere, you are, interestingly, correct. The USSR had the government organization, GosFAP(ГосФАП, National Fund of Algorithms and Programs), which was enforcing sharing of code in the country. I recall reading in some memoirs that it effectively shunted software development as you had to register any software with it and it involved printing source code, filling forms and traveling to the physical location of the office and interacting with a number of officials for a number of days. And even if something got registered there it was for the version 1.0 and never had been updated.
Seems very beside the point. Equifax obviously isn't a good company.

This immediately made me think of this quite relevant moment from the television show, "The West Wing".

Watching this year's politics unfold, it's a bit amazing to me just how much of what we're currently encountering was reflected in "The West Wing". Then again, while the faces and ads change, much of our national policy and politics is actually of a long-standing nature.

I chose a YouTube clip of the relevant moment that also includes a couple of minutes in front of it, for some context. I added a time parameter to skip to the relevant moment within it.

The administration of the sitting President, President Bartlet, has negotiated his opponent in the upcoming election, Governor Ritchie of Florida, into having one "real" debate, as opposed to two debates with a format so constrained it would have allowed only for sloganeering. (Ritchie wanted less debates -- the reason he agreed to this.)

The first debate question, and response, speaks directly to the parent's point.

If you have never watched "The West Wing", might I suggest giving it a try? Yes, it is an ensemble show that therefore cannot exactly reflect the nature of the Oval Office and West Wing (i.e. there are more people involved). But it was advised by a number of key people from the Clinton administrations, and the writers speak very informatively and, ultimately, very elegantly, to key issues of our national policies -- and to the character of many people devoted to public service and that we wish to see in public service. On both sides of the aisle, actually -- as demonstrated in the show.

It's been widely reported on by major news outlets over the years. Dutch Sandwitch (now defunct?) was one of them.
If you can rent and invest, you can also buy and invest, right? The only way that renting is an investment advantage is the down payment, but you have to subtract your rent from your returns to see if it makes sense. In the example at the top of this thread, 6k/mo rent is 750k over 10 years. You have to have a very large down payment and very good returns consistently for 10 solid years to make that back.

It's not the Reason sections; if you've seen BuckleScript's output you'd know that the JS artifacts are almost like hand-written code. I've checked almost every diff.

Not sure how much I can say, but the leak is somewhere in the subscriptions, which isn't in Reason. Ironically the goal is to convert that section to Reason so that refactoring can finally be done (I've left that part out of the blog post just in case). Messenger produced the grandfather of Flux; it's not the easiest thing to refactor.
Small claims court goes with demand verbiage oddly enough in some states. So context matters.
Basic trick:

- Apple France is actually just a distributor for Apple Ireland

- Apple Ireland sells Apple France an iPhone at MSRP

- Apple France makes basically no profit because it sells "at cost"

- Apple Ireland books a profit for an iPhone sold in France

What legislative action could be done? Require companies whose systems have a large impact on peoples lives hire licensed, certified software engineers? There is no such thing. Require them to follow industry standard practices? There is no such thing. Create new regulations governing the manner in which business management addresses concerns raised by developers? There is no such regulatory body.

You can't claim negligence of following industry standard practices when there ARE no industry standard practices. The closest we have in the software field is the work done by NASA on creating legitimately safe code. But companies don't want to follow those sorts of guidelines because they make software development slow and expensive. Sure software development is the primary driver of their businesses existence no matter what industry they are in, but they feel entitled to it being cheap and fast.
Monochrome is problematic for plots with multiple series though, because people's eyes aren't good at distinguishing shades of gray. You can use dashed lines for stuff like line plots, but those don't work well for complex trends and you can only use one or two.

I think monochrome is great for some uses, but at least for the area I work in the majority of figures use color. I'd say the main reason to use monochrome is for print, but most scientific journals are online nowadays and even conference proceedings are handed out in color. Now that doesn't mean everybody uses color well but that's a different discussion...
Isn't this a misrepresentation of the global state? I think the corporate tax rate in France is 33% of profits, which isn't far from 35%

Of course, effectively, you don't have a choice - you need those financial institutions to live a normal life. Equifax (and other bureaus) are coercive monopolies.

I hope that this story will bring down the hammer on their heads - not just Equifax, all of them.

This really burns me. The Times compared the metro population of Grand Rapids (1 million) to Detroit's population (670,000) in order to disqualify the city in their first round.

But metro Detroit has a population of 4.5 million so the Times either was sloppy with their criteria or they deliberately snubbed Detroit.

Detroit may be a dark horse in this competition but with Dan Gilbert going all out to win I don't think you can count them out just yet even if the New York Times hastily does.
I always thought "professional" as the sole job description (i.e. not "professional X") was used as an euphemism for "prostitute", so I'm wondering why someone would put it on their resume like that. Did I just learn the word in the wrong context?

So it's limited intelligence to read an article that states "But drilling into a supervolcano does not come without certain risks. Namely triggering the eruption you’re intending to prevent."? They state that it could cause an eruption, yes they have an idea for how to minimize the risk but that doesn't mean no risk. As much as we may not like it, some people don't like taking risks at all. They'd rather do nothing and take their chances than take a risk.
I think we mostly agree, which is why I upped your original comment calling for an otherwise block, despite the unnecessary (or imprecise) call for a third boolean value. As a slightly more verbose option that didn't involve adding a new 'otherwise' keyword, it could also be implemented with a catch block with the comparison operator throwing an exception rather than silently coercing. I find both an improvement on than the current behavior.

I was merely explaining why I downed your other comment. I don't care if you're a fresh bootcamp grad or the former lead on AdWords...your argument is equally compelling. I'm calling it out because I think it discourages people from engaging in conversations where they can learn. If you are who you say you are and have the experience I think you do and someone significantly more junior disagrees with you, it's an opportunity for you to explain your thinking in a way that helps them improve theirs going forward. Instead, you took an expedient and, IMHO, intellectually lazy route. It's a small thing, but it's all part of making our field more welcoming to newcomers. What JavaScript beginner is going to argue with the ex-AdWords lead? Beyond being an appeal to authority, your comment possibly shut down someone's positive learning experience.

And if it seems like I'm quibbling with you or being overly hard on what you've said, that part is definitely about who you are. I feel like those of us who've been in the industry a while (I'm a few years behind you, but I'm still nearing my 20th year doing this stuff) have an obligation to be better about technical discussions and work towards positive conflict, even if the other side seems intent on going negative. It's hard and I fail at doing it constantly, so I say this with the full realization that I'm often the proverbial 'pot' to your 'kettle'.

When you consider how nearly half of working age adults are unemployed

Labor force participation rate is not the inverse of the unemployment rate. To support your position, you'd need to show dramatic reductions in labor force participation and show a causal link with automation. I am skeptical that you can.

Why not use riverbed sand and replace it with other sand?

> For five-figure annual fees, boutique medical services offer the wealthiest Americans the chance to cut the line and receive the best treatment.

Whether this buys you the best treatment is highly contestable and, I think, unlikely. It would probably buy you the most treatment, which is not necessarily what you want.

On the other hand, the long wait time to see physicians is a real concern, and it is advantageous to be seen sooner rather than later for essentially every condition. I think the moral hazard lies in the fact that you can buy access to earlier care, rather than with the fact that you can buy access to "top" physicians.

These are empirical questions which can/should be studied.

Lyft is also planning to host Nutonomy's vehicles on their network in Boston.

GM invested $500 million in Lyft, but Kyle Vogt, the CEO of GM subsidiary Cruise Automation has made comments implying the investment was the initiative of some other part of GM, and that Cruise doesn't need no stinking rideshare partnership.

Prior to Uber's PR nightmares, they had announced similar partnerships with Volvo and Daimler, though it's doubtful anything will come of those given what has transpired since.

Google ventures own a substantial stake in Uber, but Waymo has announced a partnership with Lyft. Fiat Chrysler is in the midst of providing 600 pacifica hybrid minivans to Waymo, but FCA also recently announced a partnership with Intel/Mobileye.

Trying to paint a clear picture of who is really allied with who in the world of self driving cars is pretty much impossible right now. It used to be this simple dichotomy between companies that are going to take over the world and companies that are scared shitless, but now everyone lost in the fog of war and mostly just confused.

The scene in China is even more convoluted, though Didi is clearly the eye of the storm.
This is precisely the type of thing that US cities need to stop doing. Building to a top level of service from the outset is a terrible plan.

What US cities need is a chaotic process of applying improvements, then making more permanent and high quality iterations as the initial fixes take hold. If your town has wide roads and cars that drive too fast, the logical step isn't installing curbs for protected bike lanes; it's paint to artificially narrow the road.

It won't give a perfectly clean implementation for every project, but it will prevent cities from making enormous bets that end up failing.
1.Have multiple subsidiaries of the same company in different countries.

2.Give intellectual property rights to one company in one country with low taxation like Ireland or a state like Maryland.

3. Make all the subsidiaries pay arbitrary patent-copyright-trademark rights to the company in Ireland-Maryland-Singapur so all the profits become zero in the different countries while transferring all those profits away.
