> No, you should think of the tax man standing between the customer and the seller.

The issue is that VAT, in practice, ends up being a game where the purchaser hands money to the company, they hand part of it to the taxman, then immediately get most of it back anyway (by maximizing their tax claim). That's why it's assigned to the purchaser: in the end, it's the only subject that is actually out of pocket for the full amount, the company having reclaimed most of it back from the taxman. This is why governments love VAT: because it's a tax on people, not on companies. I understand why somebody arguing for flat or nonexistent taxes might like it, but it certainly is not part of the solution from the perspective of making businesses pay their fair share - the opposite, in fact. In that sense, it's pointless to use it to model anything beyond price pressure on consumers; and that is not what the problem is about.

> Or that the company made the goods entirely from scratch.

That's one of the problems of economic theory (or rather Econ 101, as we discussed earlier): everything is so simplified that it ends up bearing to resemblance with reality. Nobody makes anything from scratch anymore, and the mess that is IP law (or other rules around "services") makes it so that a company can basically decide how much of this or that tax they actually want to pay by moving entities around the world and making up enough input vat to offset most of their output vat. And of course, they want to pay barely enough to avoid jail, so in the end, the high-tax societies from which they extract most profit are actually the ones that end up out of pocket.

> The weeds will take over if you let them.

Weeds is a good parallel except it isn't, since I cannot extract money for the gardener from weeds - whereas I absolutely can extract money from companies to shore up the impact they have on the societies they benefit from. That's the problem.
Ad blocking means that your browser does not send HTTP requests for items that match the profile of ads and tracking beacons. A website can detect this by creating a local asset linked to from the HTML that is never rendered, but which looks like an ad from the ad blocker's perspective. If a browser loads your page, but subsequently won't load that dummy asset, it is probably using an ad blocker.
Get global entry instead, if you were planning to get TSAPre.

Even the few ML jobs I'm seeing are really 'basic' from a math point of view, as in apply well studied algorithms from well tested libraries in the most obvious ways to relatively small amount of data.

I would like to point out two of my favorite high school competitions in Hungary.

One is KöMaL [1]. It's a monthly journal, one has to send back solutions to the problems. The competition is during the whole school year. It has problems from math, physics and computer science, these are separate contests. I did the "P" (theoretical physics) competition. Sometimes I took a look for the "B" math problems and I could never solve a single "A" math problem, those are freaking insane.

[1] https://www.komal.hu/info/miazakomal.e.shtml

The second competition is the Eötvös Physics Competition [2]. Unfortunately the problems are not translated to English. This is a single round competition for the whole country. There are three physics problems fitting on a piece of A4 paper (single sided). The students can use anything (any number of books, calculator), the competition is 5 hours long. All high school and first year university students participate in the same contest. It's designed to filter out the very best physics students in the whole country (typically only one or two students can fully solve all three problems).

Ahh sorry, I was talking in the context of the microcomputer era of the late 70s and 80s rather than the full history of BASIC.

Thanks for the PDF, that will make really interesting lunch time reading :)

> I do wonder if it was a true loop, though, or whether it was implemented more along the lines of GOSUB/RETURN (i.e. whether FOR basically set up a dynamic label, and NEXT did an indirect jump). If so, then it should be possible to have two FOR statements with the same variable, both "matched" to a single NEXT, if GOTO is used to reach it from one of the loops.

I could be wrong here but I think most high level structures (switch, for loop, etc) end up getting translated to GOTOs at the machine level anyway. So you might be right with regards to the BASIC interpreter.

As for whether you could have fun with that, Dartmouth is before my time but I remember Locomotive BASIC (Amstrad CPC 464, so we're talking early 80s) used to do run time checks to ensure you weren't abusing NEXT inside nested FORs.
You can't run statistical methods on a single number though
Great comment.

Let me take a stab at it as well, because I think it could be simpler.

Let's assume the driver drives the exact same model as the autonomous one, except he saves $10k upfront on the sensors. So his costs are 12k/year. A decent alternate job would pay $10/hour, and a person could probably work 9 hours a day * 6 days a week * 50 weeks, which comes to $27k. So for the taxi driving gig to be worthwhile, the driver needs to make somewhere in the region of $35-40k ($27k + $12k).

As mentioned earlier, the costs of the self-driving car is $14k/year. So that's a difference of 2.5x-3x. Still significant enough that the a taxi company that offers rides at 30-40% of the cost of its competitors will just win.
I recently looked at San Diego's housing market and was surprised to see how much more affordable it was than LA. Seeing that they're building enough units to meet demand is probably one of the reasons why it's still affordable. Because it's certainly a desirable location to live.

An example I can think of is that Monaco (tiny but wealthy city state) is serviced by mainly French and Italian citizens who drive 2 hours per day for higher wages in Monaco, so it does seem like it works. The downside is that this creates a lot of traffic during rush hour.
Also 6'3", I've had some luck reserving bulkhead seats with British Airways for transatlantic flights, both for personal flights (can't afford more than the basic seat) and work (employer won't pay for more than the basic). The online reservation system has been effective, though I recall having to wait until a few days before the flight to reserve those seats. Of course, on busy flights they're not always available.

I did once receive an aggressive harangue from the passenger in front on a short flight (~2 hours IIRC) about how he'd paid for his seat and had a right to recline it, but unfortunately for us both I was in the middle of a row on that occasion and had nowhere to put my knees but the back of his seat, and they touched that before he even started to recline it. This had to be resolved by the cabin crew moving me to another seat.

China and Russia are poor examples.

Google lost both of them as well, not because they were out-competed by superior products. Amazon also 'lost' China, it also had nothing to do with being out-competed.

What matters for Uber are the hundred other important markets globally. China was never on the table as a possibility, it's a small miracle they got out of it what they got (a big chunk of Didi).

Google Hangouts has one of the worst UX of any app I have used. I have used it weekly for a while now and I still amn't sure how to use it properly.
Okay, this one has to be really good UX. The floating bar at the bottom that covered text “one mail each...” (before I could read it) contains a number 617 and few social buttons. Linkedin, that is blocked in my country, fb/tw/g+ that I don’t have, and buffer that I’m unaware of. The same for 617. After first stripe scrolled, there is ugly site name floating at the top that I can see in my phone’s browser titlebar anyway. Two floating bars, nice. Menu(?) stripe seems to have an inconsistency at “modal windows” item. Oh, and css is broken between email input and stay inspired button.

I don’t want to read or tap anywhere on this site or stay inspired, but I suspect how much time was spent to make it at least what it is (leading web-based project right now). I think it is not good UX, nor a good platform to do it.

My often used products are google and youtube, among others. Google can’t remember my password when I’m switching accounts, i.e. my browser places wrong remembered password into account switching form, because the domain is not changing. This ruins the entire fast switching, and my browser made it really faster than google, but now there is no way to do it, because login is integrated with fast-switch and asks for login and password in separate screens. Separate ... screens.

Youtube remembers the last button I pressed and leaves it focused. So, when I’m clicking “next” in a playlist, two things happen: 1) I can’t control the volume and time position with keys anymore, 2) pressing space does not pause the video, it only shows focused “next” control. I don’t know what it does pressed twice, but if it activates “next” again, then it is a double fail. Hey, but you knew it was focused, can you ask. Yes, but not so after watching content for half a hour. It is a surprise every time. Every ... time.

There was no desktop product such shitty, except for builtin IE and WMP, and even those were better imo. Because no product could survive such inconveniences, stupid design and the absense of real end-user usability testing like today’s. Now that web has an ability to lock-in user via content, not through good design, design went to the secondary plane and goes deeper and deeper. And if you’ll try to make a good youtube viewer with human design, UX and all, they’ll sue you to death.

Modern UX (web UX really) is a pile of trash. There may be something you can learn from, but not much to do.

> since the quality of hungarian education is getting worse and worse, thanks to the "reforms", which basically means they are spending less and less on education on all level

It seems both of you haven't read the article itself. The new CPU design is not about high-end CPU you expect from Intel or AMD. It is about CPUs for the IoT. We are talking about Cortex-M alike CPUs you find in micro-controllers from Infineon, NXP, Renesas, and alike. BTW there is competition to the ARM design. It is the micro-controllers from NXP former Freescale, which have their own CPU design heavily used in automotive.
Well, I dont think those are "Myths", because I dont see anyone who say China is developed, Citizens are Rich, Economy is doing fine, and they are leading the green tech.

No mainstream media are saying that, and anyone thinking like that is very much uninformed.

I very much agree with your view, although i believe it is a little over exaggerated. Because if you take the whole world into account, US, EU, I dont think China is in such a bad shape at all. Especially the EU i dont even know if it is fixable. China comparatively speaking has lots and lots of upside, that is why they are battling to bring those undeveloped parts to balance things out.

And it is not they are running out of tools and waiting for the bubble to burst.

Yes there are lots of things i dont like about China, but truth to be told I dont think they are going to be in decline anytime soon. I think, with the government power now all concentrated in Xi's hand and relatively stable. Their best has yet to come.

And no, XML is just as much a standard (in fact, a better defined one as a formal standard), and is still very much the default in most enterprise applications. JSON being more common in startup land doesn't make XML not a standard.

International arrivals in South Africa have the thermal camera - the line before they check your passport funnels you past the camera (whose screen is visible). If you come up "hot" then a separate immigration officer pulls you aside for a more in-depth questioning.

These cameras first went up around the time the H1N1 swine flu was making headlines, and then just never came down. Since everyone is made to present their faces head-on, without glasses/masks, it would be trivial for the government to simply siphon off the data.

A concrete step that Congress could take is to publicly fund privacy technology. This is a classic public good that government is ideally situated to subsidize.
