It is a push because where water isn't a human right, they've made it so it's illegal to collect rain water.

It's not like some made up non-existent issue, it's in direct response to corporations privatizing water, then calling all water illegal.
The blog post is saying that writing that behaviour is more complex than it needs to be. The author gave an example of pattern matching syntax that would greatly simplify things.
In your example if Ireland Co makes 30% of its sales in France, then it would have to pay taxes on 30% of its profit to France (at French rate). That limits the reason to go to Ireland in the first place, which is why Ireland is largely against it. In fact it would encourage corporations to move their costs to countries with large customer base and high taxation rates to reduce the profits there, so it would favor the like of France, Germany or Italy.

The "trick", if I understand, is to only care where the final service/product is actually delivered. So in your example the idea would be to ignore France SAS, or rather I imagine to assume Ireland Co and France SAS are one and the same, and tax them "together".

At first glance it sounds very hard to setup (and it certainly is), but that's what is being attempted here. On the other hand it's not particularly complicated to know whom Google is selling ads to, and where iPhones are sold, so there must exist a solution to this problem...

> In Python I have to figure out what the indentation is built from, spaces or tabs, and make sure there's no ambiguity there.

The following program throws a TabError in Python 3:

def demo():
print("1 tab")
print("8 spaces")

It does work in Python 2, but I'm pretty sure the majority of developers have 4 space wide tabs by now, meaning they won't be able to mix tabs and spaces in Python 2 code either.

EDIT: So Hacker News has code blocks, but doesn't strip the indentation that is required to introduce them. So you'll have to lead the 2 leading spaces in each line if you want to try this out for yourself.

This isn't really a good thing.

Unions do things like engage in age discrimination by favoring senior members over all else.

They do things like throw up oppressive barriers to entry, and limited licenses, in order to F over everyone who is not already in the club.

Unions are only a good idea for exceptional 1 size fits all situations.

For example, there are only a couple major airlines in the industry, and if you get fired or leave, your career is permanently messed up, even though you spent a decade training to be a pilot and getting the necessary flight hours.

In this kind of situation, where an airline has excessive bargaining power, and workers have no other option, a pilots union makes sense. Even though a pilot job is a high skilled position.

But for tech? No way. Engaging in collective bargaining to get the small amount of negotiation power just isn't worth the drawbacks of a 1 size fits all solution.
Wage redistribution isn't zero-sum, because it means less for a rich person to lose a dollar than for a poor person to earn one.

Where does your ownership of the land originate if not from someone at some point in history using the threat of violence to keep other people off of it?

The concept of an unregulated market that includes land ownership is already nonsense because the system of land ownership is inherently non-voluntary. I never opted into the system where people can exclude me from certain parts of the earth; it was imposed on me with the threat of violence.

Don't underestimate pumped hydro. It's already at about $125/kWh.

The Bath County Pumped hydro station stores about 35-40 GWh of power (35,000 MWh), cost $1.6 billion in 1977-1985 or so (so inflation-adjusted about $100-150/kWh).

Compare to the largest ever battery storage project, the Tesla 129MWh installation in Australia is "guaranteed" for $250/kWh, but that doesn't include a lot of extras (the storage facility has a pretty high discharge rate, able to dump its storage in roughly 1.3 hours vs like 4-8 hours for better battery life and lower secondary costs).

So in terms of cost and scale, pumped storage steal beats the best battery installation by a factor of 2 (not counting likely longer service life before replacement, although that depends strongly on how hard you cycle the lithium batteries), and scale-wise beats it by a crazy factor of 300.

Pumped hydro does have some geographical constraints, but there's a lot more opportunity to build them than many detractors suggest. (Obviously, the sweetest places to build them are by definition limited, but you can also build pumped hydro with a very low head, like on some of the Great Lakes projects, or with a very large head requiring very little water.... you don't need a nice canyon feature for pumped storage, a big round concrete reservoir on top of a hill works just fine, too. And with enough volume of water, you don't even need a hill.)

And I say this as a firm believer in the potential (heh) of the lithium battery and in Elon Musk. Pumped hydro should not be ignored.
> The rapidly expanding niche accounts for 15 to 20 percent of coffee consumed in the United States, according to the Specialty Coffee Association.

One in every five or six cups of coffee is Blue Bottle or "third-wave specialty" coffee? This simply can't be true considering the scale of Starbucks, McDonald's, and Dunkin' Donuts, let alone brewing at home and coffee consumed at diners and non-specialty restaurants.

I'm surprised the Times would cite the SCAA so uncritically.

That's an intriguing article, but it doesn't quite go far enough. It never really explains the experience of red or the smell of a rose, it just posits an attention model for having conscious awareness. It leaves the notion of qualia untouched.

Similar criticisms of Dennett have been made. But it does look promising. What needs to happens is an accompanying mechanistic explanation for the color experience itself.

I'll have to pop your analogy bubble and ask the question again: How are you going to convince people that the decentralization of a platform they use to get laid and keep up with friends/family is going to have a meaningful impact on their lives? And how are you going to do it to the point where you can cause an exodus large enough to cause any real change?

You're going to have to do better than draw some analogies to monarchies on Hacker News. And things like "but they sell your data!" has had no impact beyond desensitizing everyone with Chicken Little'ism.

Good points. I've always taken the spirit of that saying to be more like "thick enough to have to deal with, too thin to be enough".

On the moon, you don't have to worry about reentry at all, so no need for a heat shield or any sort of aerodynamic protection, just some way to do a propulsive landing.

On earth, you need the heat shield and some aero considerations, but you can land safely with parachutes alone.

On mars, you need to deal with reentry but also some sort of propulsive landing system for anything of reasonable size.
There used to be a very good terminal environment app on Linux, far better than termux. It was called Terminal IDE, and it was basically a full Debian bootstrap. Unfortunately, it was never updated for lollipop or later, possibly because of pie/technical reasons.

Personally, I've given up on using Linux from Android. I'd love to, but it's next to impossible, you'll run into other issues you haven't even seen yet; for example, my phone doesn't even have ext support for the sdcard; I'm stuck using fat32 for a 32gb partition. You also can't mount a network drive with fuse and expect to access it from another app.

If you want a software keyboard, use hacker's keyboard--it does a full keyboard layout with alt/Ctrl/other keyboard keys. If you want a physical keyboard, you shouldn't use a keyboard case anyways, a full size keyboard is far easier to use. You can get a microusb numpad-less keyboard for around $10-15 online. Alternatively, just get a full 100+-key Bluetooth keyboard

If you want updates, buy Google and/or deal with unofficial community updates if you can get them, because only Google updates their devices.
I'm stuck on lollipop because Verizon has decided not to release Marshmallow in the US (VZW Moto E2 has MM in EU only)

Gasoline has an energy density of 13 000 Wh/kg. Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries have an energy density of ~250 Wh/kg, and LiMnO2 lithium primary (non-rechargeable) batteries have an energy density of about 300 Wh/kg. Let's assume energy density near the upper end of that Wikipedia page - say, 6 500 Wh/kg, we have half the energy density of gasoline, and 26x the energy density of lithium ion rechargeables. So your Tesla 100D with 540km range becomes a 14 000 km/8 500 mile range. You can get a battery swap a few times a year, a little less frequently as you'd get an oil change now.

But that's still half the energy density of gas. Instead of buying 12 gallons of gas every week or two, you're now buying 720 kg of aluminum every few months. All the gas tanker trucks you see on the road right now? They're replaced with twice as many aluminum-air battery carrying trucks. All the pipelines, supertankers, rail cars, etc? Replaced with aluminum carriers. And on top of all that, gas turns into CO2 and water, disappearing into the atmosphere. With this plan, you have to ship these aluminum batteries back to the manufacturer for rebuilding!

You'd have to build thousands of mostly automated battery reconditioning plants and scatter them across the country for that to work.

What happens to the freemium game industry?

I think opt-in, rewarded advertising is the path forward for the minority of publishers wise enough to learn to align with the end-user's goals. App monetization platform providers like Tapjoy -- who have customers on both supply side (publishers) and demand side (advertisers) might view end-user UX as the 3rd leg of a stool.
I'm waiting to see how it plays out, because if they whitelist their ads while blacklisting third party ads for arbitrary reasons edicted by them, while being an ad company themselves I can foresee some legal challenges/complaints.

Why? I'm sympathetic to the argument that 2017 computing shouldn't be on the basis of 1970s UNIX limitations and mindset, but changing that would require a lot more than just rewriting the user land applications, and would require a bigger re-think.

But assuming that the shell's functionality is OK as it is, what's to be gained in a re-write?

Yes, the size of the Cogol program is a decent estimate of the Kolmogorov complexity of the Tetris program. However, you also have to account for the size of the computer (including the massive RAM bank) - the Cogol program just encodes the Tetris program.

Naturally, no general-purpose compression scheme (or even a somewhat-specific-purpose scheme like MacroCell) is going to come close to the Kolmogorov complexity. We could come up with a custom compression scheme and write a compressor and decompressor, but give us a break - we built a computer! :P

The image in the article says "Dallas-Laredo-Houston" which presumably means some Y-shaped route connecting those three places via Austin and San Antonio.
It’s interesting because the article correctly points out the existence of barriers to tech adoption in the law — but, as justin and others point out, the coverage of real innovation usually misses the devil in the details.

A number of possible explanations, but the most prevalent I’ve encountered:

• Differences between the variety of ways a given attorney goes about practicing create inherent barriers to a one size fits all B2B software solution. Attorney personas vary wildly based on factors such as practice area, firm size, region, jurisdiction, client demographics, the list goes on and on. This makes it very difficult to build out products that scale rapidly industry-wide. While this sort of end user diversity isn’t inherently unique to the legal industry, it’s probably where its most entrenched, dictated by regulation and long-standing custom, etc etc — all things very startup/entrepreneurial unfriendly.

• Even accounting for legitimate industry-based reasons, there’s a second very real, risk-averse layer: both legal education and practice are very hierarchical, such that aspiring attorneys are being ranked and learning to guard their interests well before they ever begin practice. Once they do, protecting partnerships, colleagues (intra-firm / former pals), profits, rolodexes, business processes, etc is well entrenched in a given attorney’s MO. News writeups usually include a bit about how the Great Recession started to prompt innovation, which it did, but it also created a margins race that further drives attorneys to protect their book of business and profits, further entrenching mindsets which reject disruption, consciously or not.

Regardless of whether you buy these reasons or have your own, the nuance quickly exceeds what captures readers in the mainstream or tech press. Yet the rise of automation in other industries does justify coverage of how those trends would be affecting the law, and the not-uncommon “Let’s kill all the lawyers!” Shakespearean mentality fuels the fire. The result? Every new startup aiming to disrupt the law gets some pretty gloating coverage…and then they need to start acquiring users and scaling. In fairness, that’s what real startups have to do, so not all sanity goes out the window.

Post-2008, the real driver for innovation has been client demand, so Atrium’s approach makes sense there. Also, shoutouts to A2J nonprofits, they’re doing really meaningful work for clients that need it most (albeit with their own set of complexities that aren’t inherently tuned to startup culture)

Obligatory 1: Attorney, but IANYL. Work in the industry, currently building software for firm/legal services ops and biz processes. Previously involved in A2J efforts. Views above are my own, not those of my employer or previous initiatives.

Obligatory 2: If you’re the type with a respect for the industry, but a drive to use tech, product, and entrepreneurial methodologies to break through these types of barriers — we’re hiring!

A long time ago, Saul Alinsky made the point that you want to pick on individual bad actors rather than all of them.

For instance if there are three downtown department stores (this was the 60's) that don't hire black people, you pick one to picket, you don't picket them all. If people can just walk across the street to avoid breaking the picket line, they will.

Stock market analysts are saying this will blow over because you are not "the customer", but their customer is your credit union, your hometown bank, your megabank, your auto lender, etc. These customers are going to face billions in increased fraud and other costs thanks to this breach. They have every reason to stop ordering credit reports from Equifax and stop reporting to them.

If enough financial providers do that, Equifax will be bankrupt before regulators, lawsuits, etc. can put them out. Typically these institutions "circle the wagons" because they don't want to be the target of this, but if they "self regulate" they may be able to head off tougher regulation.
