> I write in my free time to relax (sounds weird, I know)

Not weird at all. I do that myself. I believe the relaxation is in pure creativity, the wonder of exploring something novel and the absence of any pressure or stress due to timelines or deadlines. You're also exercising both right and left sides of the brain.

I suspect there are many many more who do the same.
It's simply there to highlight the wide and wooly range of things being practiced under the umbrella of science. I find it pretty heartening - the world needs research on slug poop and the psychology of sexbots, too.
Defer is not enabled by goroutines. C++ has `defer` as well, although it's called "destructors" there.
Thank you. Understanding enough encryption to know how to protect your company data would take about 1 day of learning, every CEO should know this, no excuses.

I dont expect them to be able to debate cipher strengths or argue key length, but I do expect them to know about Machine-To-Machine communication, Data at rest, One-way encryption and what it takes to be HIPAA compliant etc, it's their job to know this, and it's NOT HARD. I makes me mad too.
Fairly confident the CFPB does absolutely nothing to read complaints. I send in one for each credit agency and got the same boilerplate even though my complaint had nothing to do with the breach.
I think you've misunderstood me. I've reworded to help. I did not intend to imply that I thought such a clause made the law retroactive. I'm saying that by default, laws should not be retroactive and that needing a clause to specifically prevent retroactivity is annoying as it specifies what should already be the default.
> A good CFO looks not at what the numbers are, but what the numbers mean.

You need a CFO who is not totally detached from the base employees. It scales with the company size... when the CFO is in the same dungpit as the rest of the crew, he/she will quickly see the downsides, but if he is on a separate floor, or worse, different city or even country, good luck.
Revenge porn isn't all about nudity. And this does cover Messenger (and Instagram). The point isn't to get an image taken down after the fact, but to proactively block it from being posted or sent in the first place.

Who would the first people be then?
What are you arguing? The fact that someone can’t come along later and relicense the code I wrote is a good thing. Why do you assume I’d be okay with whatever license they want to use in the future?
If your income is less than the standard deduction, you don't need to itemize. If you're living off of stock dividends, or other capital gains, the threshold is when income minus standard deduction hits the top of the bracket for 0% on cap gains.

If you have a general idea of what's itemizable, and an approximate amount for those, and it's much less than the standard deduction, you don't need to find all the receipts and do the work.
Should taxpayers be forced to amend prior years' returns based on a new tax policy? (I believe no.)

If this policy were passed and applied to retroactively vested (but not yet received due to a time, performance, or other double trigger), that's what would seem to need to happen.

Other people have made plans for retirement or other meaningful milestones based on the current tax law. There is value in having stability and being able to plan around tax and other long-term financial realities.

Further, due to performance-dependent multipliers, it's often not even possible to know what the amount should be (which I admit applies to both grandfathered and not grandfathered comp).

This is a great post. As a long time TNG fan (and fan of The Greatest Generation podcast), I never grokked DS9. I tried many times, but the first season episodes are just so bad that I can never make it though.

An episode guide like this is helpful as well as the behind-the-scenes on the show in general.

Thanks for sharing.

seems interesting and I've just signed up, but am I right in thinking that rent is automatically taken every day but money is not automatically earned? So if I have $100 and a $10/day rent and take 10 days without playing, I'll have $0 when I come back? If that's the case then it's a shame as it's rather offputting, which would be a shame as the concept is very appealing. Just asking for clarity.

Encryption wouldn't have mattered here. To a pretty good first approximation, none of the "encryption" done at scale at any Fortune 500 company in the US is more than a speed bump for attackers. Unless you're using moon math --- nobody is --- enterprise backend encryption is hamstrung by the fact that you're keeping the data because automated business processes need to use it, which means automated systems need to decrypt it.
The hard part is protecting your side against the effects.

Rookie Vue dev here. I found Vue super easy to understand and to start using for my own simple stuff basically from day 1. Gradually as my tiny projects grew in complexity, I naturally started to feel the need to manage state better. And again, Vue docs led me gradually thru pure-Vue solutions towards VueX. It all felt very naturally, the documentation didn’t push me to anything, just gave me answers at my pace. Can’t say the same about React, even though I’m a big fan of both.

The law is not like that in texas because people are concerned with the risk of injury or death. If it were there would be a much harsher penalty for a first time DWI than:

"After your first DWI offense in Texas, you may be fined up to $2,000 and spend between three and 180 days in jail."

These differences in penalties are not due a rational fear of the associated risks.

Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_minimum_tax, "Each year a taxpayer must calculate and then pay the greater of an alternative minimum tax (AMT) or regular tax."

If Trump paid AMT, his regular taxes were lower, which means he stands to gain. Is there something I'm missing here?

Ok, so now all the harassers out there are just going to edit a few pixels on the images before uploading, so the hash isn't caught. All the same tricks use don YouTube to avoid the copyright bot, will work here as well.
I've run into concurrency problems using maps while writing an irc client. It was really frustrating for me, because it did not happen everytime I ran the program, but rather rarely. I had chosen Go for it's memory-safety and easy concurrency. But I felt like I could not vouch for my program's safety any more. I did not know about sync/map at the time, had I known, I would probably have used it.

I think Golang has a fondness for magical (to me) special language constructs. For example if you want to use the RPC modules, you have to write your functions a certain way. Or as I've explained in a comment above, if you want to use an interface you just have to implement all it's properties. Or you can't have generics, but we have a special language construct called maps, where you kind of can mimick genericks but it is not safe and may break.

Golang is a great language, but I think it expects all its users to think very rigidly in the same way their designers do. Basically, you have to explore the language's deficiencies yourself, read the designers' explanations, dive into the intrinsics of the language, understand it, make yourself believe and move on. I sometimes half-jokingly feel like Golang follows the principle of most obedience.
Deferred compensation plans are not solely to manage or modify tax treatment of compensation.

As a long-term shareholder, I want the CEO, board, and senior executive compensation to be tied to long term shareholder value creation. By far the easiest way to do that is to create a deferred compensation plan that ties their financial outcome to that of a long-term shareholder.

If I win big holding their shares, I want them to win big.

If they just match the market, they should get paid something for their time, but not anything exceptional.

> “O’Brien Must Suffer” episodes

Eh, these were among my less-liked episodes. None of them advanced the plot, they mostly made no sense relating to O'Brien's character (like, why did Starfleet choose him, a chief engineer, to run an organized crime sting operation), and the sum of these was O'Brien gaining this weird parallel backstory of him as some woebegone magnet for unluck. They were all clearly contrived; at least from reading this article I now know why.

(To be fair, some were really good – like when Keiko (O'Brien's wife) was possessed by a Pa Wraith. Others were just like, what the heck, O'Brien's in jail again?)

> Season one’s nadir, “Move Along Home.”

Funny thing is, this is one of the more "traditionally" Trek episodes. Meet a weird species, have some misunderstanding during first contact, everyone almost dies, but j/k it's all OK in the end and we forget anything ever happened in the next episode.

> Season 2 establishes one of Star Trek’s greatest characters, Elim Garak.

Glad he got a call out! Was disappointed he was missing from the cast drawing, given that he plays an increasingly prominent role in the later seasons.

> this would be a great time to abandon my guide and just watch the whole thing.

Uhh… but make sure to skip Profit and Lace. It's objectively awful (and I love the Ferengi episodes), and I refuse to consider it canon. Unfortunately it advances the Ferengi subplot; just imagine a story that fits the plot points and you'll be better off than watching it.

> Optional episodes: Take Me Out To The Holosuite

I highly recommend watching this. It has nothing to do with the plot whatsoever, but it's fun to watch and does a lot of good (if silly) character building. You can tell the cast enjoyed it too.
Quite disgusting to lobby for keeping the process complicated, to justify the middleman.

I thought facebook would run posted images through their AI nudity filter before allowing them to be posted? It's good that this covers messenger as I've read stories in the past of people being blackmailed over it, but surely there must be a better way than asking people to upload their private images to facebook. Plus, what's the case with younger facebook members? Do they upload the images and are therefore sharing child pornography with facebook, or not upload and don't get to be protected from revenge porn postings, when they're one of the most at-risk demographics?
Milton Friedman was a monetarist which is a belief in controlling the supply of money. That's a different instrument but actually quite similar to Keynes: they are both feedback control mechanisms. That said, monetarism is most definitely NOT cut taxes and increase spending in good times. Keynes and Friedman would both call that insanity.

Which is precisely why this is handled completely differently in the EU. Essentially, data about you (personally identifiable information) is your data, people generally may not store or distribute it without explicit consent, and generally you may revoke consent at any time. There are exceptions and the details are complicated, of course, but the fundamental principle is much more sensible.
The decline of alcohol in the services predates even serious consideration of integrating the services. A combination of factors have changed matters, but the two biggest are:

-Alcohol has always been trouble for discipline and getting work done. It was just... unavoidable. People didn't drink water, they drank weak (or strong) booze, and that shaped cultures. It was still trouble, "What do you do with a drunken sailor?"

-Other drugs came to dominate, either openly or prescribed (Go and No-Go pills for example) or covertly and for fun.

As technology makes it cheaper and easier to create and target content, the market gets bigger. You're looking at a previously untapped market, and it being cheaper content, the quality is always less timeless. Think of the quality decline going from scribes with expensive parchment to pen and paper. But you don't have to look at it if you don't want.
They could just send fingerprints, sure.

The problem is that you presumably want the image to be blocked immediately upon upload.

But facebook is worried that people will abuse the system, and they don't want images to be instantly wrongfully blocked until someone can review it.

Abuse-resistance. Instant blocking. Perfect privacy. Pick two. There's no perfect solution.
That's a little overly simplistic. You can increase conversion rates at the expense of user experience, increasing churn and lowering long term LTV. Depending on the metrics you're measuring it can go completely unnoticed.
One immediate improvement: SQL queries return rows of scalars. It's very tedious to reconstruct nested objects from the resulting column aliases that are ultimately necessary (and in this case, the client would even need to do it all themselves!). Your example is simplistic in that it requests one top-level scalar, but any real API will not be like that. Try:

{
project(name: "GraphQL") {
tagline
authors {
name
friends {
name
}
}
}
}

I don't know why people are so upset about this. Go standardizes enough things about imports and package structure that you can completely solve dependency management in literally a shell script: https://github.com/holocm/golangvend (I'm using this productively for the Go apps that I develop at work).
I filed the complaint through them as it acts as a notary function (complaint ID generated, my complaint and Equifax's response on file).
But you are sending an image to yourself in Messenger which DOES normally keep an image. It doesn't say here that they explicitly delete the message you sent via Messenger, does it? Perhaps you have to delete that for yourself? And do they take back-ups of Messenger data in which this photo may now be in?

Seems like a very awkward flow to forcefully repurpose Messenger to do something it shouldn't be doing.
You need to have clauses to specify retroactivity, otherwise you get into a world where the government has to wait for everyone alive to die before they're allowed to implement a new taxation plan. There have to be limits somewhere, and that's exactly what these clauses need to implement.
A lot of larger private companies don't allow early exercise (and even if they did the strike price is often pretty high anyway).

The "become exercisable" language is ambiguous to me.

If you have ISOs that became exercisable in one year that at the time were less than 100k, but you didn't exercise them and they're now worth more than that they still remain ISOs right?

Would you still hit the 100k limit when you tried to exercise them if AMT is repealed or could you exercise all of them and delay the tax burden until you sell them?

If that's the case getting rid of AMT would be a big deal for people in private companies to actually be able to exercise their equity without paying a massive amount of taxes for something they can't liquidate easily.
Yes, but it was also owned by MS, a big company. I think closed source language is a terrible business model, especially considering that this model managed to kill several well-known programming languages (Smalltalk, Common Lisp).

> let's entirely remove the ability to move income and loss recognition through time for tax purposes

That would be incredibly stupid. It would mean that two companies could pay different amounts of tax over a given period simply based on whether they ran losses some years or booked consistent profits. Loss recognition through time isn't a crazy "loophole"--it's the mathematical byproduct of the fact that you're sampling a continuous variable at discrete intervals.

Likewise for moving income. There is no special loophole that allows you to "move income." It's a byproduct of the fact that the income tax taxes income, and not revenues.
memcpy is a libc API, as in, for the C language runtime. If your unix-alike does not use C, I don't see why it would need a C runtime.

POSIX is clearly a standard for C unixes, but you could imagine a restricted subset of POSIX that didn't govern libc being applicable to a non-C Unix.
There is this disturbing trend of mixing the service/product and the interface and calling it "the experience". This is good for marketing maybe (of UX designers probably), but when designing a product, you're actually making the problem incredibly difficult. You're merging different problems into one, then trying to find silver bullets. Hence, everyone reinvents the UI for a "unique" UX. But that's the exact thing users do not want, and that makes everything harder for everybody.

The UI needs to disappear. No one should even "see" it. The perfect interface is still an invisible one. If you go with this principle, then once the UI task is done, we've eliminated UI from UX. Your first task is to eliminate UI from the UX problem.

What is left is the product/service in it's finest, purest, most concise form. And now, as this is adjusted, the UI may need adjustment. But this is the proper order of business.

Take the missing audio jack. Everybody notices it. Hence, this is an obvious UX failure. The designer's "opinion" or "gut" is not more accurate or more important than the user. UX is not about forcing experience. And the UI itself is about non-experience. Just follow this principle, and the best UX will follow.

Of course, even the data driven UX designers won't put the audio jack back despite the "unhappiness". And that is what is most disturbing for me, at least. It seems these UX designers have no principles. I sense arrogance and apathy. But this makes sense if you consider a UI that wants to be noticed as being self important, and a UI that is data driven to lack any personal or emotional touch.

No single user is a general statistic. Basing design on statistics is not design; it's giving up on designing; it's anti-design.

Anyway, I know HN is hardly the place to push POVs but I will keep trying.
Fair enough. I should have said one of the best. A bit of sensualism there.
I generally agree, but it's not entirely Spring's fault. The underlying APIs they're using are awful. If I were doing anything Java EE based, I'd still prefer to be using Spring Boot even with it's warts. It might be a framework for a framework (Spring MVC) for another framework(Java EE)...but it's still less of a pain than dealing with the underlying frameworks directly.
