Right, that's the problem he's identifying. Search for "peppa pig bacon" take you right to that parody video, which is widely pirated...and given the weird, machine-generated examples he cites earlier, how much of that ended in a compilation a human child might see? It's not even that there is inappropriate content on YouTube: it's that these channels are trying to trick children into watching stuff that is so bizarre.
Yep. I'm not excited about this release at all. Firefox should support gestures natively. Mouse gestures is the only legacy addon I really can't live without so I have turned off automatic updates. Really, it doesn't matter how much faster the new version is if it had to take away so many of the features I've come to rely on over the years. (I have 3 other legacy addons still activated that I really like but that I can live without: classic theme restorer, status 4 evar, and stylish [to control the url bar display, unsupported in the "stylus replacement"].) I have tried Vivaldi but it's not fantastic and it's not open source (but the gestures are more responsive than even the old firegestures).

It seems like the new firefox is just racing to be just like Chrome.
> You still have double taxation because of dividend taxes.

Corporations are distinct from their owners, that's the whole point of a corporation. That's not double taxation, it's single taxation of two separate entities, one of which acts as a liability shield for the other.

> The US has one of the highest corporate tax rates already,

Nominally, but one of the lowest effective corporate tax rates

> Lamborghini also intends to make the supercapacitors out of carbon fiber panels that can be used to form the body of the car—so the Terzo Millennio draws energy from its own body. In other words: the car itself is the battery.

So does that mean that if you happen to have an accident, there is a chance that a good chunk of your battery gets short circuited? That sounds somewhat dangerous...
Those small businesses were the ones taking cash only, paying employees in cash, and generally continuing the trend of no one paying any taxes what-so-ever.

Of course they could employ more people- they were unfairly competing with the companies that were following the law. I have a hard time sympathizing.
That's at least partially the fault of that particular language getting cute with their naming and not considering the impact that has a on trying to disambiguate things without having to introduce further context. Ruby isn't the only one who commits that particular sin (looking at you Chef). Java arguably commits the same sin with regard to the core language, but considering how rarely "java" is used on its own in reference to the coffee based beverage that's fairly harmless. Moral of the story, stop getting cute with the names of your stuff and naming a bunch of different tools/concepts/frameworks with ambiguous names. If you must do so at least use some clever portmanteaus and don't just straight up steal other words that already have specific completely unrelated meanings.

I agree that too much negativity is unhealthy and makes living needlessly less enjoyable, but what you're advocating here is willful ignorance. Ignoring bad aspects of certain services or people does not make them magically disappear; it's a short-term solution at best. By refusing to face the issues right now, you make them harder or downright impossible to solve later, or even cause more serious problems. And Facebook's data collection and gamification of social interactions is one such issue.
Sometimes bias is justified. These people lived there their whole lives.

They grew there, we flew there.

Localism isn't good either, but a bit of respect and give and take for people who, let's face it, will soon be pushed out of their neibourhoods to make way for tech workers, would be nice.
I would love it if Chrome could enable hiding the tab bar and real panel support for extensions so I could have tree style tabs. I use both browsers in tandem for different things, although primarily Chrome at work.
What kind of role do you think the government should play? Should we continue to privatize things like prisons? Seems it would be difficult to incentive rehabilitation when prisons are paid per bed filled. On the other side, should we privatize the military? the fire department? the courts? the police? why not?
...and go back to when every site was set in Times New Roman? Compressed web fonts don't add much to page weight when used responsibly, cached fonts from Google CDN even less so. I think that's a fair tradeoff for a great leap forward in design opportunities.
If that's the solution, Quantum should have been released just after an ESR. 57 is in between which is just stupid.

Well, one definition for the end of middle ages is fall on Constantinopole (1453) and Hans died in 1543 at the ripe age of 45. So, yeah, renaissance.

Now that I looked, the list of english monarchs gives a striking visual transformation from the stereotypically awkward european middle age art to renaissance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_monarchs

And Henry the 8'th portrait seems to be the first one that does not contain obviously awkward shapes (to my untrained eye).

So in 100 years we transform artistically from kindergarten to realistic portraiture. Pretty awesome - makes the original commment more apt, and my quip somewhat moot.
Can you seriously look at the state of politics and business and tax evasion in 2017 and really believe most executives, even in Silicon Valley, are susceptible to "moral persuasion"?

Job hop and travel. Money you invest in conferences and training will probably lead to a yearly salary increase of that amount in your next job. Only thing I regret is maybe living less of a day-to-day luxury (coffee and lunch) and travelling overseas instead of just locally (1 weekend in Sydney costs as much a 1 week in South East Asia.)
Almost definitely. I immediately got one for my mom and she just loves it when the house warms up before she wakes up, when the birds chirp (over the stereo) over the stereo as she comes downstairs in the morning, as the northern loon calls exactly at sunset (over the stereo), and a bunch of other goofy stuff. Not to mention the full-on security system that sends email pictures of intruders when it's set off.

If you have a temperature sensor and a relay getting rid of Nest can be pretty easy and cheap with Home Assistant (for the DIY-inclined) as well [1].

Founder here, happy to field questions and feedback!

Right now PageDash is quite a simple product, but hopefully with sufficient traction we can continue to implement things like full-text search, tagging support, link sharing, as well as mobile support. Your support is absolutely crucial to making PageDash come alive even more in the future.

This is my first product, thank you for being nice :)
Oh, that was IBM changing their design language.
G402 is the MX518/G400 successor. Same shape with a much better sensor, and it's not very expensive either.
There's also this annoying and useless header bar that's added to the top of the tab tree as well.

Still a long climb up evil mtn. if they want to push the bankers off their spot.

Most poor people I know are only poor because of finance--title loans, student loans, rent-a-center, medical debt, credit cards, etc., and it's a race to the bottom for everyone since the banking system diminishes the value of cash faster than most people can accumulate it.

At least Google is providing some kind of benefit to mankind alongside their fuckery.
I think they should have played a pickup game with the kids. They could have had some glorious "team-building" experience and built up the community at the same time. Like, get to know the neighbors before they are displaced because rents are going up.

And it's funny, I really was waiting for the cops to show up because one of the Dropboxers had called them. Their desire to avoid having any real interaction with these kids is so painfully obvious that it makes me embarrassed for them.

As far as your hypothetical, it's just that: hypothetical, as is your perception of my hypothetical biases. It's actually hilarious, because in the hypothetical my mind conjures up, I'm sure if we met in some real-life context you would end up calling me a nazi.

FWIW, when I was younger, I knew and hung around with people who are just like the Dropboxers, and was probably like them in many ways. I've gotten to know and work with a lot of different kinds of people since then, so now I would intuitively know a better way to handle this situation than these guys did. Step 1 is to recognize that they are valuable human beings and neighbors. That's where this exchange broke down, so no need to go on to subsequent steps till we get that part right.
Gah! You're 100% right.
A port is available, it's a regression though. For example no native context menus.

I would not say they are better, but they are different. REITs are stocks, so they tend to rise and fall with the overall stock market. Take a look at what happened to VGSIX in 2008 (when the SP500 was down over 36%). VGSIX got crushed as well.

Would that have happened to individual investments at Realtyshares/Fundrise/Realtymogul had they been around at the time? Doubtful.
I do agree with this. Opportunities shouldn't be there unfairly. If one person should be able to leverage an opportunity, in my mind, so should everyone. In that sense, I'm currently in favour of the basic income strategy being piloted in Sweden right now. I would like to see everyone on an equal playing field. But that said, in the meantime I'm going to leverage every tool I have access to, just as you should and everyone else should.

You could possibly use a perceptual hash[0] to compare images. While building an image processing application I used the pHashion library to compare thumbnails to their originals to make sure it still looked "the same" to humans. It worked very well and might be useful in the case of comparing "nude" photos to a reference.

No, I understand the purpose just fine. It isn't about taxes at all. All EU tax rules were just bolted on to fix the most obvious unfair results of other regulation.

For example, I am customer of a German branch of a French bank. The company is based in Paris and all contracts clearly state that. The actual service is provided from a German office building. That's where almost all employees responsible for the German customers are
located and where you sent letters to. That company pays "income" tax according to German rules to the German government for all services provided from that building even though it's based in France. (Surely they do some tax avoidance as well but this doesn't change the point.) Thanks to the EU freedoms they could just open up an office in Germany, employ people there, and provide services.

I am also a customer at a Dutch bank based in Amsterdam and that's where the service is provided from. They don't have a presence in Germany and don't pay German taxes. Thanks to the EU freedoms they can provide services to me across the border.

(For the record: Apple does have legal entities in Germany. For every transaction they just happen to use the most tax-efficient entity of theirs without much consideration of the real-life transaction.)

Enough to last you a scientific lifetime. If your neural net gives meaningful predictions of how institutions, inequality and other measures predict or explain growth or well-being, contact your local Peter H. Lindert, Geoff Williamson or Daron Acemoglu. Know any (worldwide, historic) datasets on institutional arrangements: please comment!

There are a lot of open questions in economic history and many, many more worldwide datasets taking the long view available. Used to be more theory and (econo)metrics than data in growth economics, finally it is starting to come around. Thank the scientists taking the time to create those datasets. Not the easiest route, nor the quickest to tenure so it takes those special ones to take it up.

That’s a lot of guilt by association and blaming people for the misdeeds of others.

I know developers at Uber. They’re just regular (smart) people trying to live their lives. Unfortunately they’re regularly attacked by the media but I think most let it roll off their backs at this point.

I find it quite amusing that you complain about inline quoting here while practicing it in a way entirely different to what you complain about.
I agree that DIY isn't a great solution for most people, especially if it involves writing your own software. But as the Home Assistant community grows there are more and more pre-built, highly capable open-source modules for Pi's and ESP8266's and whatever that entrepreneurs could start selling, installing, and servicing them at normal people's homes for megabucks. I think it's a big market.
I always compare these offerings to what I could do on my own in traditional ways. Leverage at low rates is a powerful thing and I'm not convinced this is better. Granted, it's not as passive but it doesn't take me away from my day job either.

how many employees are hired in such data centers?

Found article [1]: "Now, news outlet DT cites sources which have told the publication that Google was in fact the international web player readying to set bases at the Horndal campus and generate up to 300 permanent jobs."

So $20mm to create 300 jobs? I wouldn't say that ROI is very good in this case. Of course, there were some one-time employment such as contract for building data center and so on, but still I don't see it as a good investment.

Another data center example [2]:
"Facebook will build a $750 million data center in the tony northeast Columbus suburb." ... "Peterson expects to employ about 100 workers at the data center."

And for that , government gave Facebook this: "Facebook has a 30-year property tax break on its land, 345 acres on Ohio 161, New Albany Mayor Sloan Spalding said. From the state, Facebook scored a 2-percent, 10-year Job Creation Tax Credit and a 100-percent and a 15-year data center sales tax exemption."

I don't see it as a fair deal for 100 new job positions.

I don’t know if DC counts as “real life” but I’ve definitely encountered the sentiment among non-tech people. Most of it is due to fallout from the sexual harassment revelations. Silicon Valley is also perceived as libertarian, and with Trump there is a huge backlash right now against not just republicans, but libertarians and other third parties. The NYT writes what it does for a reason. The narrative is very much in line with what many East Coast establishment types are thinking.

I’m not saying that these characterizations are fair. But if there is anything that people are, it’s tribal, and the tribal lines are being drawn.
Some ancient cultures trained children as engravers, who, after a lifetime of peering at tiny details, probably developed eye disorders and inability to see normally. This wouldn't be permitted today.

Brand loyalty is not rewarded. I will never buy into IoT exactly because of d*ck moves likes this. I also love how they inform the owners 'sorry we're killing your device, but you're entitled to a discount to buy a replacement from us'. Nicely absent is the reassurance they won't pull exactly this stunt again with the replacement hardware!

Also: short paragraph: bad news, device being killed. Longer paragraph: sales pitch...

Buying fonts is somewhat expensive for individuals, and google fonts certainly helped the free font ecosystem as a great aggregator.

But serving the fonts directly from google fonts instead of downloading the fonts and serving them yourself has in my opinion always been a bad idea. In any case it's not a licencing problem anymore, fonts published on google fonts have clearly displayed licenses that usually allow a broad range of uses.
Logitech just released a new trackball mouse, I believe it's called the Logitech Ergo. It's very nice. I recently swore off buying Logitech products because of bluetooth connectivity issues, but I still bought it because it seems to be a lot easier on my hand (right hand only I believe).
You need a car in LA, not SF so there's the cost of car ownership. Venice and Santa Monica have skyrocketed the past 3 years due to Snap. $9500/mo for a 2BR at 4th and Rose? Happening location, but that's much higher than SF.

IMHO $27 gives the the tech workers a lot less claim to that field than the entire lives that the kids have lived there, regardless of the piece of paper.

If they didn't want to play pickup, then the right thing to do is to go and play on the dropbox campus. It's not fair or logical, but it's the right to do.

If you use the correct tools, such optimizations introduce little complexity, if any. Just add a gulp plugin or select "optimize assets" in your Netlify panel or something similar.

If not using the correct tools, simply you won't survive for long in the market. Probabely you can still manage to sell domains or such, but can't compete in innovation-based sections.

I believe it's not quite an "intentional bricking" in the sense that Logitech sends out a suicidal ROM update. What's going on is that the product depended on a cloud service for its core functionality, and now that service is being discontinued.

This is the double-edged sword of the convience that cloud-powered products deliver. You're not buying something that will last decades. You're buying a service and the hardware to utilise that service.
Another reason I think she's an amazing woman to look up to and aspire to be like... but I'm not making 7 figure royalty cheques. I'm paying the same taxes (give or take) as everyone else that can't afford to leverage West Indies tax shelters. In the meantime, I'm stuck utilizing tax loopholes that save me tens of dollars a year.
It seems like a lot of people here are looking for "the" root of the problem, as though there is one person or small group of people or laws that could fix the whole mess. The truth is that we are pretty much all complicit in small ways that add up, and that complicity generally takes the same form: I want a little more for myself, and have a convenient blind spot when it comes to ways in which systems and processes help bias things in my favor.

Elsewhere it's been pointed out that there's no (non-arbitrary) way to distinguish a "tax loophole" from a "tax code." It's sort of an "I know it when I see it" thing. But how many of us have the courage to stand up and say "hey, this is unfair for others" vs "hey, this is unfair for me"?

Until that happens, this kind of thing will continue in a variety of forms that may seem unrelated but profoundly aren't. But something inside us is scared of giving up any ground.

So what's the solution?

Well, meditation and psychedelics are showing tremendous promise in awakening the sort of "universal empathy" and profound sense of fundamental safety and security that can shift the balance.

We can't get on that train fast enough.
This is a ridiculously tiny amount of time to judge performance.
I feel like this is sliding towards a debate about the virtues of corporation tax full stop, which is a slightly different matter.

I actually think the idea of a moral burden could reasonably be extended to entities such as corporations, but let's put that to the side for now.

At some point in the process a decision was made - collectively, by people - to avoid paying the stipulated rate of tax in countries in which Apple had profited. These people benefit from the educational system in those countries, but they also reap rewards from tax avoidance. The moral burden lies somewhere. Tim Cook would have known about this decision if not played a role in it, in contrast to previous statements he has made. That is the hypocrisy highlighted in this article.
