"Francois Chateaubriand" (François-René de Chateaubriand -- he would not have been pleased if one forgot the de) was no chef at all. He was a writer, the most famous French writer of his time (early 19th century).

The Chateaubriand steak was indeed named after him but he didn't create it. One story says it was invented by his personal chef, another story asserts it was created to honor the publication of one of his books.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chateaubriand_steak

Here's his tomb at the outskirts of Saint-Malo in northern Brittany

Their main idea was that B-Trees are slow and LSMs are fast.

This was a partially right assumption, but only for writes.

If you write something in a DB you check some constraints and those checks are reads.

So most DB writes come with a bunch of reads.

The reads were slower with the LSMs, so the B-Trees performed better in "real world" writes (which come with reads) and LSMs only performed better in "artificial" writes (without reads).
I find curated lists better for exploration than search, but perhaps I just lost my ability to search whimsically. To each their own I guess.

Somehow I doubt the person making $20k/year paying the government 20% would see it the same way as the person making $100k/year.
Isn't that usually called a broad based tax or so? I mean I mostly agree with what you are saying, just noting that I'm used to different terminology.

Yes, it's a good idea to put eg debt and equity on the same level; don't tax transactions that improve economic efficiency (tax consumption instead for example).

Land value tax is still a great idea for these and other reasons. Eg you can jack the lvt really high and basically tax away all land rent without negatively impacting the economy. So even in an otherwise 'flat tax world' like you describe, it might be a good idea to get the majority of revenue from taxing land rent (and in the wider sense, resource extraction and commons like pollution carrying capacity).

To add to that:

Some London tube lines run with <100 second headway, and the highest capacity London underground trains have a capacity of nearly 1200

And my local heavy rail station regularly handles 3-4 trains to the same station in a 10 minute interval. E.g right now there are 3 trains for London Victoria scheduled to leave in a 7 minute period, and that's not peak time.
Doesn't Canada, and most of Europe tax their citizens much higher than we (US) do?

Tax money that is spread around with new roads, free school, free medical care, minimal homelessness?

I'm not talking about the poor, and middle class, I'm talking about the rich boys--Them.

They love this relatively safe, free from corruption country when it's benefiting them--usually when their coming up in life; then decide they pay too much in taxes.

In the fifties, we taxed the rich boys up to 90%. I don't think they whined too much because most where thankful we won WW2, and they weren't affected, or had to serve.

Now--the rich boys won't shut up over their capital tax gains tax.

(I'm not actually for a big government. I just know they wealthy are making too much now. I hate taxes as much as the next guy. I would like to see capital gains only taxed if you are constantly winnng. The guy who hasen't been employed for years, but makes his first million shouldn't be taxed until he's one of Them.)

you can read:

"What is the MINIX 3 license?

The MINIX 3 license is a clone of the Berkeley (BSD) license. In plain English, it says you can do whatever you like with the system provided that (1) you agree not to sue us under any conditions, and (2) you keep the credit lines in the source, documentation, and publicity unless other arrangements have been made. Specifically, you are free to modify the source code, redistribute it, incorporate it into commercial products with only the above restrictions."

Note the passage "unless other arrangements have been made". I am pretty sure Intel made such an agreement with the MINIX 3 developers for this reason.
Not a startup. It's just an open source project. I wrote it by myself at first but Gleb joined the project several years ago and has pretty much taken stewardship of the project. He's been the spark that the project needed.

There are others working on it as well (much more than I have, or will be) and they're all doing an excellent job.

As far as vision and goals, it depends on what's needed. It's pretty loose for the time being although I could see it maybe changing in the future depending on everyone's circumstances.

No hosting for now, no.
The compact light theme looks native enough for me (at least it's so minimal that there's little to offend there ;)
For me what's impressive is when someone builds a product that becomes so successful it takes on a life of its own. Examples:

(redis) antirez (redis) - Beautiful product, elegant codebase, thriving ecosystem. Amazing work for one person (obviously many more people are involved now, but just getting a product to the point of creating an ecosystem is impressive)

(docker) shykes, jpetazzo and the rest of the docker team

(react) Pete Hunt, one of the original creators of react (I'm sure others were involved, but I met this guy years back in SF, he probably doesn't remember - but he came off as quite smart)

(ffmpeg, qemu) fabrice bellard - Mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the guy is an absolute beast.

(hashicorp) Mitchell Hasimoto - The best example of a 10x programmer I've ever seen, but also great product sense. Every hashicorp product is well built and it's emerging as a nice ecosystem.

(bitcoin) Satoshi - come on. Obviously.

(ethereum) Vitalik Buterin - I was skeptical of ethereum at first but I've been really impressed by Vitalik and the team's dedication - they did a great job launching a product and building an ecosystem around it (<insert criticisms of solidity>)

(Tor) Roger Dingledine and Paul Syverson - Tor. Visionary, world changing product and a strong community.

(javascript) brandon eich - Original creator of JS

(go) Rob Pike - go

(other languages): DHH (rails), Yukihiro Matsumoto (ruby), Guido von Rossum (python), Resmus Lerdorf (PHP, believe it or not)

(the obvious): Linus Torvalds (linux, git), John Carmack (doom, quake, oculus)

(the kings): Zuckerberg, Gates

(the graybeards): kernighan, ritchie, thompson, knuth

(games): notch (minecraft), Sid Meier (civ)

So the "fast" nightly features are now in "regular" Firefox?

I tried the nightly a few weeks ago and it would always forget my logins so it was essentially unusable.

But the performance was much much better than with Chrome, so I would like to switch to Firefox :)
I am, in fact, skeptical on the ability of patents to stimulate innovation. I think that in a free market the prospective profits should be enough.

See software, where patents are mostly used to destroy competition.

However in heavily regulated markets, with huge barriers of entry, like pharma, they may be necessary. But again, that's the result of government intervention, so more intervention is the solution.

At the least, I am in favor of gradually reducing patent terms while measuring the effect on the innovation in that market.
The goal is good, but I'd never under any circumstances entrust photos I don't want shared with any of the cloud companies. At the very least the fingerprinting should be done on-device?

There's a terrific opportunity here for a financial company that specializes in tax havens for small business. Bundle together ten thousand mom and pop shops, and you have enough resources to do this kind of financial wizardry.
As Long as tax’s remain high, they will be avoided. Raising taxes on the 1% or raising corporate taxes on businesses it only going to make the issue worse.

America probably wouldn’t need such high tax if it didn’t have such a terrible government system.
That's an incredibly ignorant comment.

When you give up your US citizenship and the process is complete, as far as the US is concerned, you might as well never have been a citizen at all. This means that when you want/need to visit the country (such as to visit a sick or dying family member), you can be denied entrance - the claim they'll use is that you don't have enough "ties" to your new country for them to be certain that you won't try to stay illegally.

While not everyone goes through that, it can and does happen.

As absurd as the idea sounds on its face, it seems well-intentioned with the potential to result in a net positive for victims. The main concern is if FB is to be trusted. But what’s the alternative? Is there a way for the user to hash the image in their own machine while allowing FB the ability to discern whether it qualifies as being off-limits for FB content? Without FB verification, the system is likely to become a decentralized and easily-abused version of Youtube’s Content-ID.

My impression is that grey text sort of looks better on Retina screens. I haven't looked attentively at such screens for more than a quarter of an hour in the past so I wouldn't know. My belief is that most "designers" (whatever that is...) don't look at their creations after letting them go out into the wilderness.

I sometimes imagine making a "designer" read through a long HTML book set in 20pt #ddd-on-#fff Raleway with the lowest weight possible, on a crappy full-brighness laptop screen. He'd be bound to a chair with his eyed forced open and his direction fixed. Maybe then he'd learn to not torment people's eyes.

that the MINIX 3 developers openly say in their FAQ that different agreements with them are possible. I would bet such an agreement exists - I don't believe Intel's lawyers would have tolerated such a legal liability.
Wow, thanks for the link to DFeed. That seems like a route I might want to pursue for a community forum I'm planning.
Travel to rural India and talk to a money lender. There was a nice much needed shake down. They were all sitting on cash that had to be pushed into bank accounts. This is a long term net positive in shedding light on the shadow economy which has been exploiting the unbanked rural poor for the longest time.
Yes this is exactly the same. Very apt comparison.

Got to chuckle when articles like this appear. Essentially it means this:

I paid my taxes, you haven't. Translated it means ( in my opinion): I got robbed, but you didn't get robbed, and I feel envious of you.

Taxes are an extortion by the government and it is fair game that anyone should try and evade it legally or otherwise. Extortion cannot be justified even if some of the money is used to deliver useful services to the people who have to part with the money.

Summary: people get the government that they deserve.
All the cash coming back was one thing, now everyone has to file their income tax returns, which is when it gets interesting. There’s going to be a lot of people filing tax returns for the first time, and a lot of explaining to do.

It's never an absolute, but for a similar justification to the you've given for white — it creates too much contrast, and is therefore most often (especially in print and on bright displays), uncomfortable to look at: "[Pure] black and white create the highest contrast possible".[0]

HN's body text is actually pure black (as far as I can tell) and works alright because it's on an orange/grey background, but if you play around with black text on a white background, you should find that a few HEX notches above #000 (say #333, for example) is much more pleasant to look at.

The abstinence of pure black doesn't irritate me, but taking design advice from IBM does :)

I wonder if they're doing anything to take into account tiny modifications causing a completely different hash, or if they are relying on users not knowing that changing an image would get around a naieve hashing strategy.
Lol tax isn’t about redistribution it wealth.
Firefox 57 will also allow users to enable Always-on Tracking Protection by default (you could sort of do it before, too, but you had to enable the Private Mode by default, which also deletes cookies and other stuff).

This should make it easier for people to enable. It's what Do Not Track should have been all along. We asked advertisers nicely to stop tracking us with DNT, and they didn't care. Now we're going to just block their trackers and there's nothing they can do about it (I'm talking about more mainstream users in general. Of course some of us have already been using ublock origin or similar extensions).

140 is more than just aesthetics. The enforced brevity is what makes so many people regular readers of a tweeter that would not be regular readers of a blogger or of a serial essayist. If Trump pushed out five ten minute reads per day, only people paid to condense them into shorter forms would read them (journalists and analysts). And that's supposedly the most important person in the world, the impact of a switch to longer forms would be even bigger for other Twitter celebrities. The brevity vs. depth tradeoff is also a tradeoff between reach and depth.

On a certain level of abstraction, Twitter's achievement is an implicit contract between writer and reader that promises a certain standardized answer to the brevity vs depth question that greatly helps brevity to fulfill its potential of generating reach. Tweaking that contract, even by a mere 140 characters is huge (Twitter, of all entities, should know how important 140 characters can be).
Great letter that is part of a great movement right now. It's not just Apple, but they're an easy target and rightly so. It has to start somewhere.

I'm confident they're doing their usual 'wait for a week' until we get a reply.

And then I hope, just like with the ecological issues after the Greenpeace accusations, Apple will finally start doing the right thing and pay rather than trying to escape.

You can't equate a fiduciary duty with a moral obligation. It is legal for a firm to outsource manufacturing to a sweatshop in a country with lax child labour laws, but I don't think many people would argue that it's moral to do so.

The law is not the arbiter of morality.

But I do agree that the solution is to fix the tax code. And to implement better international tax treaties.
There used to be a lot of natural factors which worked against monopolies.

Every new market you introduced your product in brought along with it a layer of bureaucracy and middle management, which left you more bloated and unwieldy.

This allowed smaller,local companies to have an agility and responsiveness advantage even if they offered the same service at a higher fee.

Computers and the internet have made the process of expanding a lot smoother with instant inventory management, communication etc.

Not sure what government can do to stop this. The more power you give to the government, the more lobbyists and corruption it will result in. And even if they do manage to sign some legislation, there will be workarounds and loopholes.

I am struggling to even think of rules that would efficiently limit the growth of Amazon,Google etc. Cap their market share somehow? Tax companies which have more than x% of market share at an exorbitant rate?
Great tip!

Adding passing acquaintances on Facebook has actually made them developing into real friends more likely by my anecdotal reckoning, as they're at the top of mind my when I see their updates and I remember to check in.

And my partner being friends with my mum on there has actually helped both out with subsequent interactions as they know more about their common ground.

Facebook, ultimately, is what you make it. There's loads of "racist uncles", "fake news", "Tasty videos" etc, but if you engage with the people, it's as powerful as ever.

Is Amazon going to attempt to tackle the healthcare insurance market? CVS and Walgreens may have started in that direction, but they rely on EHRs to get them the industry knowledge they lack. I'm not sure if Amazon would do the same. That opens patients up to some crazy HIPPA scenarios when Amazon decides to collect your prescribing visit info to send to the insurance company.
