Provision: Under the provision, the AMT would be repealed. If a taxpayer has AMT credit carryforwards, the taxpayer would be able to claim a refund of 50 percent of the remaining credits (to the extent the credits exceed regular tax for the year) in tax years beginning in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Taxpayers would be able to claim a refund of all remaining credits in the tax year beginning in 2022. The provision would generally be effective for tax years beginning after 2017.

Keep in mind that it is highly unlikely the proposed bill will make it through unchanged. It hasn't even passed the House and the Senate still needs to weigh in.
NEED HELP FIXING Your CREDIT? REPORT
My credit score just got raised from a range of 400 to a score above 750 with the help of a hacker i met from an old friend. My credit report was low and it really gave me problems renting an apartment for myself. I shared my problems with an old friend of mine on facebook then she told me about the good works of a hacker she uses in fixing her credit score among other things. She told me what the hacker is capable of when it comes to anything that has to do with hacking..She said he's a genius.. I reached him for help and to my surprise, he fixed my credit report in few days than i expected. Need help fixing your credit report? Reach him at spystealth(.)org(at)gmail(.)com. Thank you!
I think kernel mode drivers have more stringent signing requirements than user mode drivers. A user-installed CA definitely cannot be used to silently install a kernel mode driver.

As cool as my friends' new car's features are, I still love my Acura RSX. I can reach from the steering wheel to adjust anything on the console without taking my eyes off the road. No fuss, made for human hands, knobs and buttons.

I've most recently worked for a startup in health/fitness space as a data engineer.
Before that, I've spent 2 years in Search Quality at Google after interning for Facebook, Palantir, and twice for a Palo Alto based startup imo.im. I've competed in algorithmic competitions throughout high school.

I'm currently looking for an East Coast-based startup that needs a remote full-stack/backend/data engineer, and is open to creative working arrangements (such as spending portion of my time onsite or working 80%).
Note that humans and Neanderthals diverged 400,000 years ago, and when they died out ~40,000 years ago, they were basically technologically and socially indistinguishable from humans.

So I'm doubtful the secret sauce of humans had its origin 70,000 years ago.
I screwed the pooch on this one, thanks for setting me straight.
While I can't comment on the exact stats they are pulling up but I don't understand your logic here. Transaction is not "valid" until it is part of a block. So, validation is not separate from block generation, it's a part of it.

I imagine that it's like playing on a professional sports team. If you can't hack it in the NBA, NHL, NFL, etc, you'll know inside of you. Guys that make it to The Show have very little doubt in themselves as to what they're capable of doing, and even the superstars are mostly working their butts off to get even better, and that goes double for the benchwarmers. See any YouTube video on Kobe Bryant's work ethic. But even the benchwarmers know that they belong if they put in the work.
Indeed is doing a good job at hiring in the tech field. Their Prime product is great (if you live in one of the cities they are running it in).

Companies benefit from terminating with zero notice, and subsequently providing money and services to facilitate the employees transitions.

Labor seeks regulations that makes it difficult to be suddenly terminated. The primary downside is that companies are reluctant to hire employees.

The McCain entered the TSS at 20 knots and varied between 20 and 18 knots until the steering problem began. The OOD ordered the vessel slowed to 5 knots but due to confusion on the bridge the orders weren't carried out properly and the vessel was still making 11.8 knots and turning to port at the moment of impact. The Fitzgerald was also traveling through traffic at 20 knots and narrowly passed three vessels at that speed before finally being struck by the Crystal.

What’s more likely? That the SEC ignored Apple blatantly lying to shareholders or that the Senate subcommittee doesn’t actually understand how corporate taxes work?

Given that I cannot find any follow-up to that story, I don’t know which if either is correct, but I am skeptical.
This could be done, but I expect it to be usually pretty annoying. Most of the time when I type I don't want to be looking at my hands or the keyboard. Instead, I want to be looking at either the text I'm typing or something else (like some other text, or a video, etc). Having a silhouette of my hands and a keyboard superimposed over what I'm looking at will just be distracting.

That said, I don't really have a better suggestion. Typing in VR is just going to be plain painful for anyone who can touch type with any speed on a physical keyboard.
I'm afraid Tesla would have been treated better if they emphasized the possibilities of powering their vehicles by coal.
"Hostile" as in "currently harmful to my political party".
Oh. When you say driver do you mean user-mode? I always assume kernel mode (in every OS). But if so that would make sense!
The protocol problems are due to the text-based format and a bizarre desire to make said text format "human friendly". It inherits the stupidity from HTTP (line folding, comments in headers) and adds its own fun. The authors actually suggest that the "intent" of the message be followed in case of errors. It's terrible. The packet issues are due to the strange use of UDP with mandatory TCP switching. Needless complexity.

Oh and these aren't theoretical. Two big, widely deployed implementations cannot even agree on how headers end, and will read the same message differently. This can be exploited when a network does header processing. Imagine adding a "x-accountid" header, and removing any existing ones - if interpretation differ on what constitutes a header, an attacker can slip fake headers in. Not entirely dissimilar to browser exploits that let script include a header with a newline in the value, letting scripts maliciously set headers they shouldn't be allowed to.
All I can say is thank God we live under the rule of law and not the rule of the mob.

I think the reason people disagree about this point is pretty simple actually. Yes, there are corporate interests, etc, but I think it boils down to the five stages of grief.

The earth as we know it is in serious trouble, everyone knows it, and that's too much to handle, so the vast majority of people are in the first stage of grief, which is denial.
I once read a study that the half life of truth in medicine is 20 years. Namely in 20 years roughly half of the things we identified as truth are overturned. Examples? Fat clogs arteries. Cholesterol clogs arteries. LDL causes heart disease. High blood pressure causes atherosclerosis. All of these "truths" have been debunked in the last 30 years or so. Apparently there are many more. Stents save lives? There's 50% chance you'll be proven wrong in ~20 years! Maybe much sooner.

Automotive "climate control" has been around since the mid-60s, and the controls of the early versions were also far more straightforward; basically, one knob for temperature and another for turning the system on/off at various settings. Here's one from 1973:

I don't know which one is more bizzare here - the story itself, or the barrage of "this is due to bad UX" comments in this thread.

So I guess if this warship fired all its rockets away, "due to bad UX", and destroyed a small nation, I guess the comments would also be about a bad UX.
Oh crumbs, the "check status" button was so close to the "start armageddon" button. Perhaps we should submit a meek complaint to Microsoft or something.

"Commander Alfredo J. Sanchez, "noticed the Helmsman (the watchstander steering the ship) having difficulty maintaining course while also adjusting the throttles for speed control.""

So... we gave the control of a warship to some guy that... has some difficulty navigating through the straits that like 1M of ships go through every day, without problems.
Mind you, this is the navy that is supposed to be highly trained to deal with real-world issues such as naval blockades, pirates, and even wars.

It does not make sense at all. Allegedly there were some cuts to funding for navy. Maybe someone is trying to make a point. I do not know, this is just unexplainable. Certainly nothing to do with just "bad UX"
When you start to enter the realm of modelling, especially of complex systems with feedback loops, you aren't really conducting science any more.

Unfortunately the brand of science is used to promote these models, which is disingenuous. These models aren't like physics models, they are like economic models.
Ah yes. Regulate the guns, not the shooter. The food, not the eater. The soda, not the drinker. The couch, not the potato. The Home Depot truck, not the maniac.

So I thought about it.

There is a way that I could rethink of my candidate. If someone (a paid troll for instance) was targeted against me. If they would have been talking to me and sending proofs I could believe in, then, probably, I could even change my opinion.

And you know what? Russia has trolls. It's even worse, it's centralized troll factory — a house of paid trolls.

But even if those trolls were told to “make America great again” with Trump, they wouldn't have impact big enough to change anything.
I thought the same thing so I disabled the backlight on my laptop's keyboard. After accidentally turning it on in the dark a month later I will never go back to a non back-lit keyboard.

It's hard to place your hands on the keyboard in pitch black or when you're in a weird position like lying on your back with the laptop on your chest. If you've ever partially closed your laptop so that the monitor would shine on your keyboard so you could find 'f' and 'j', you know exactly what I'm talking about.

And also TFA says "for a true typing experience you need to see your hands, and we’ve created a way to use the Vive’s existing tracking to do that".
On a related note, it occurs to me that UI/UX for car navigation systems and cell phones is an actual life-and-death matter.

Maybe we should treat it differently.
Here's a question I have on this -- I've been eagerly awaiting the new functionality to have onion addresses where using them doesn't reveal their existence. So the address itself becomes a form of shared key.

But this opens another possibility of one-time addresses, and address scalability. My question is, does network cost increase with number of addresses? If peers on the network are using one-time addresses to form circuits, will that scale fine?

Basically I am envisioning two people communicating via dedicated addresses for their own use only. So a single key becomes a network channel to send data to a specific peer. That "peer" could actually be many different devices, but all ultimately connect to the same distributed application with a shared state.

So basically onion addresses are usernames which also let you pipe data to that user, right? How is this not the coolest thing ever?
And they had one already. Which no one liked.

Well, the same is true of any osx pre high sierra. A malware can disguise as installer utility and it can make modifications to system or install kexts after user okays it (keychain saves the password).

Linux makes you type in the password manually every time for elevation but that will just make the average consumer remove or use unsafe passwords for their accounts.
With this many people quitting I wonder if the call center staff have blown their KPI's already and just given up?

I found parts of it tough going the first time but I should revisit it sometime.
It depends what your null hypothesis is. Your contrarian friends only need one piece of evidence to disprove the climate catastrophe narrative.

Whilst you've taken the worst case as your default assumption, which is why their train of thought seems off. You sound like you need a large body of evidence to disprove climate catastrophe.
The problem is that non-technical users have no information on which to base their decision to allow or deny.

Consider a user that has no idea what SSL, TLS, Certificates, Encryption, HTTP, drivers, program signing even mean. What do you put in the prompt that would allow the user to make an informed decision about whether a program they downloaded should be able to install a cert?
You're right, I read "contributors" as something else. My apologies.
So he is falling for a myth, yet what you're referring to is the Efficient Market Hypothesis, does the word "hypothesis" ring any bells for you? Even more so, does the fact that a theory that originated in the 1960's, still bares the name EMH. Almost 60 years on and it still hasn't been proven.

Your thought process seems incredibly flawed, the idea you have about coin flipping being at all similar to stock picking is laughable. And this to me would indicate that whilst you may believe that your analogy is a good indication of survivorship bias, it is clear to me that you are suffering from confirmation bias. You're looking for examples that suit your belief, and ignoring some basic elements. Let's look at this one seriously, coin-flipping is an statistically independent event, whilst if we apply even some fundamentals of finance and EMH (which I don't agree with, btw), we will quickly find ourselves in the realm of correlation. I never stuck around Uni long enough to get deep into this stuff, but you could do with some reading on the CAPM model. To quote from wikipedia on the CAPM model:

"Financial correlations play a key role in modern finance."

You only have to look at the fact that many companies have been put out of business by companies like Amazon, which means that at the very minimum, you have at least ONE external factor that has an influence on the performance and price of other securities.

And this is all without even starting on the even more hilarious notion that information across the market is symmetrical, that's right, I as a lowly consumer exchange peasant, have the exact same information available to me as Jim Simons and the team at RenTec. Who's Medallion Fund, by the way, returned a 35% CAR over a 20 year period. You have to be mental to believe the shit they teach in undergraduate Finance.

I think that the point being made here is that it isn't entirely clear why the obligation to the company's owners should override the obligation to the country most of its employees live in.

I go back and forward on this - I find some elements of it convincing but others not.

Either way, I do think that the argument should be presented fairly, and it does seem fair to point out that the legal obligation to the shareholders is defined and enforced by the laws of the country.

It doesn't make sense to talk about the shareholder obligation without the acknowledgement that obligation is a construct, and perhaps there is a transitive obligation to the entity which created and enforces that obligation.

It is entirely reasonable to consider if that obligation should change (the law is a construct after all) to include other obligations.
I was one of the people who went ape over uac. It wasn't that uac showed up too much. It is that the devices were not capable of it. I think I've been vindicated by the subsequent lawsuit which revealed the vista capable vs vista ready fiasco. I mean literally the screen would go blank and there'd be no indication for up to about three minutes when a uac came on an hp Compaq laptop...

Think about it this way. I've never seen anyone complain about full disk encryption on an iPhone 6 or later. Do the same on a Windows machine with 5400 rpm spinning rust...

Seems difficult to type only by touch in dark.
nice! Also an SR22 pilot (though I just sold mine a few months ago).

Here are some other G1000 confusions I remember:

- Flying down the ILS expecting to click the "go around" button on the throttle and see the missed approach cycle .... only to find out that the autopilot didn't know I started the approach because I had the wrong leg selected as "active" when I across the IAF (and I've been tracking the green ILS instead of the PINK gps for the approach)

- Given "vectors to final" from ATC, selecting "vectors to final" on the MFD, and then have ATC issue a speed restriction up to some waypoint ... which has now just disappeared because "vectors to final" doesn't display any of the waypoints (I think the logic is that you shouldn't need them, except in this case when you do)

- Doing an approach that has a IAF and IF with a holding pattern. Am I starting the approach from the IAF (in which case I do the hold), or from the IF (in which case I proceed directly to the FAF)? Once I've coordinated that with ATC .... I forgot to tell the autopilot who helpfully started planning for the holding pattern.

Honestly I think the solution here is more automation not less. These systems got so bad because pilots correct for them all the time.
Is that the point of what this person is saying?
To be fair, you weren't getting near-instantaneous full HD quality broadcasting with DVR support on your TV back then.
The headline is clickbait, and directly contradicts the report's conclusions. The article says as much ("While the report lays the blame on training"), but by that point you've already clicked.

But look at that bridge schematic. There were TEN PEOPLE in that room, and they couldn't keep an eye on the radar, raise a collision alert, radio the other ship, etc. They just completely lost it.

The way I know where to place my fingers on a dark keyboard is by feeling for some raised bumps which are on the f and j keys on my keyboard. As long as I've got those, I can always easily put my fingers in the default position on the home row, and from there it's easy.

As long as I can use such markers to position my hands in the proper initial position, I really don't like to have a lit keyboard in the dark. It's distracting and annoying.

If your keyboard doesn't have such bumps it's easy enough to make them either using some craft materials you can stick on the keyboard (like some tape even) or by cutting small notches in to it using a file or a dremel tool.

It's truly awful. The last time I bought a car I wanted to take a hammer and smash the freaking "screen" because the UI was such a POS (VW Beetle). A 20-year-old radio is a better audio system, and the cheapest smartphone is a better navigation system than anything that comes in a car nowadays. But I suppose the manufacturers think they can't sell a car nowadays without "teh shiny screen." And they might be right.
