Well I will say that this is the first time since the traveling poets of ancient times that people can make money on their own with music. I think the issue is people think an artist should make millions. The only place losing music jobs is label employed musicians. We cut out the middle man they can make a good living. One of my friends just plays Acoustic Guitar and travels the world for competitions and makes a decent living. He isn't what you would call rich but he is paying the bills and has a family. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo9kGHYn_bI

"...things are actually much better for independent musicians than in the past, just as we would expect. In fact, there's been an astounding 510% increase in independent musicians making their full time living from music in just the past decade."

There’s the tactical solution, and the long-term solution.

The long-term solution is to regulate IoT devices.

When kids’ location data is unsecured and easily accessible, the tactical solution is to just fucking get rid of them.

Hitting cheap plastic with a brick is 100% more effective than waiting for legislation to pass and for device manufacturers to take action.

I think the politics were divisive before. In fact, I'd claim that Trump's election is the result of divisive politics.
I think there are many more options that you are perhaps not aware of. You can hire contractors to work with your clients either for an hourly wage or for commission. At the other end of the spectrum is factoring, where you sell your AR outright in exchange for cash up front. This is common in industries like retail where there's a long wait between manufacturing goods and getting paid for them.

The idea that big companies would care about a payment rating misunderstands the relationship. When your startup has an opportunity to close a sale on a BigCo and you find they have a history of taking a few months to pay... what do you did with that information? Insist on custom contract terms? Walk away?

I don't doubt that it's possible to create a startup that does something like Factoring and just does it really well (perhaps especially with better marketing). But that's true of any industry. I don't see any analogy to the Taxi/Uber disruption. It would fundamentally be the same thing.
> Even if they had to put slicks on the car to reach that time, that still puts it on par with 1000 HP dedicated drag cars.

Horsepower is a misleading figure, because 1000 HP means a maximum of 1000 HP at some engine RPM. So, in other words, if a gasoline car delivers 100 HP @ 0-2000 RPM, and only delivers 1000 HP between 5500-6000 RPM, we call it 1000 HP.

The Tesla delivers its power constantly, from 0 RPM and — more importantly — its torque is also constant and available from 0 RPM. Add to this the fact that an electronic drive train can adjust the power independently for each wheel 100 times per second, which is simply impossible for a combustion engine (mechanical parts transferring that much power can’t switch that fast).

Obviously you have no interest in hackerspaces then which is fine. The community is half of the equation though, if there's zero value to you from the community then a more sterile TechShop-esq place is obviously your place to be.

I was lucky enough to have visited both the Austin TechShop and ATX a few years ago while I was in town. Both places were great for different reasons. I'm pro-hackerspace but I was also very interested in seeing a TechShop first-hand. I was surprized how much community involvement was required to keep TechShop running despite being a commercial place. There were multiple tools that were pointed out on my tour that would "become available" once a volunteer had more time to get them running and develop a class. The sad thing though was just how expensive all the classes were. At ATX I heard that a number of members also paid for memberships at TechShop too. It was heartening to see that both places could co-exist without competing for funding/memberships.
But it is impartial in that you won't be removed for discussion in good faith, though you may be disagreed right to the bottom.

Spiteful trolling usually gets down-voted to hell as well (thankfully).

A little too often I see hyperbolic vitriol and shitposting persist, and though I don't mind the odd gag, it's not warranted. It clogs the thread as much as anything else.

That subreddit is impartial in itself. It's consensus of the participants, not censorship, if unpopular ideas aren't promoted whichever way they lean.
Yes, that's an excellent point. I linked to https://www.irs.gov/businesses/income-from-abroad-is-taxable, but should have made the distinction clearer. Most of my comments address income that arrives at a business first.
>Can we come to terms that if stories are getting voted up, it means people want these?

Only if you can come to terms that if comments like the parent are getting upvoted it means a large chunk of people don't want these stories?

> See how that works? Don't like it? down vote it? :)

Most users do not have the ability to downvote and so their voice is represented by up-voting the parent.
But ... I want a VR motorcycle! :P
It's incredibly unpopular today not to buy into even the most extreme left. You can tell by the fact my comment, which was entirely neutral is being downvoted.

Twitter is rife with absolute venom if you even suggest a term such as "mansplaining" is sexist.

I’d warn against Gerrit. From the best my team has been able to figure out, Gerrit encourages a development flow that breaks the golden rule of rebase and treats all pushes as force pushes. The result is that in a collaborative environment your changes are occasionally reset by someone else pushing changes.

(To my eye Gerrit seems like it was written by people who wanted git to work like svn.)

> The IRS just asks you if you have offshore holdings, in which you either tell the truth or perjure yourself.

Say an offshore foundation is set up to benefit your family. You then make a loan of $10MM to it, that is then invested in some company. The foundation receives annual dividends of $1MM from this company, which are given (through a loan, salary or a sort of stipend) to your son living abroad.

Do you own or control this foundation in the eyes of the law? The answer could be either yes or no, depending on the country you live in. Sometimes the answer isn't a clear yes or no either.
I hate to be that guy but most people have moved on from Vundle and use VimPlug now.
One obstacle is the current system has diffuse costs but concentrated benefits. A much simpler tax system would be one in which many accountants would no longer be needed. They're enjoying the concentrated benefits and thus their incentive to protect the status quo is much higher than the incentive of everyone else to change it. They're also facing a loss, which people generally perceive as a more intense event than a gain of the same magnitude.
Doubt it. Busses are most often used by local governments than by businesses, and most cities are less likely to spend that much money on a more expensive form of transportation.
Problem is, it's like vaccination (network effect). One kid with a hidden listening device could be in the vicinity of other kids whom it overhears, whose parents did not consent.
You can obviously hold a call for bids on dollar van routes, so that the best routes go to most capable companies and upstarts have to choose between less desirable routes.

Other than that, you could write same things about bakeries and not buses. But we still have a lot of inexpensive private bakeries around.
German law prohibits "transmitting equipment which, by its form, purports to be another object or is disguised under an object of daily use and, due to such circumstances, is particularly suitable and intended for intercepting the non-publicly spoken words of another person without their detection" (§ 90 TKG). This was the basis for this statement by the regulator and explains why it was not restricted to certain uses. It was not based on insecurity of those devices. Even if they were perfectly secure that would not change anything.
There are multiple solutions to this problem as you've explained it.

- Ignore the article.

- Ignore the comments.

- Participate but try to raise the level of discourse.

Note how complaining in the comments about how political stories are a problem is not a solution. That's because it's at best being ignored, but more likely adding noise to the discussion or starting an obfuscating thread about it, like this whole thread.

The only thing complaining does is possibly make the comment writer feel slightly better by being able to vent, but at the expense of everyone else. I hope you and the others at least got that little bit out of your comments, because at least there's some small benefit to this thread then (that's not meant to be snide, I truly do think it's a better outcome than this being a complete waste of time).

It looks like that's correct though, as supported by the first google hit [1] for that subject, which in fact is arguing the stupidity of the alkaline diet. It's also supported by the table in this paper [2]. The only catch being that your kidneys eliminate the extra alkaline products in your urine so it has no effect on most of your body.

OC is moreso talking about taxes as a concept.
There are some IRS cars capable of going 8's. The ones I've seen the most are GTRs, Supras, and the occasional 2JZ/LSx swapped 240sx (I think they swap a Nissan/Infiniti Q45 rear into it or something).

Now that the 2015+ Mustang has IRS, I expect to see more of them as well. I think there's already one in the 8's.

But yeah, IRS is a major pain at that power level. Most (all?) of the performance cars today have IRS, so I expect improvements to come.
Flattr _used_ to require the user to click a button to indicate they like a particular page and want to support its creator. I assume GP is simply unaware that that's not how Flattr works anymore.

Flattr 2.0 works more like Brave does; the user pays a monthly subscription, and Flattr just automatically distributes those funds to creators based on what sites the user views most often that month.

Open platforms for discussion are actually one of the
best ways to prevent something like the Nazi party from
coming into power.

I used to think that, but my views have become more complicated given allegations like [1]

I agree that public discussion is a powerful tool for changing people's political opinions - but if I think I'm reading a discussion between your peers when I'm actually reading a discussion between two Kremlin trolls, it puts the powerful tool in the hands of people who don't have my best interests in mind.

It's a tough problem to solve - most of the 'obvious' solutions like real name policies I think come with a lot of downsides.

it sucks :( the UI is awful. There's no way to easily see what are the unresolved discussions in the PR...

The only plus is the integration with linters. beside that, "native" bitbucket/github/gitlab PRs are way better
The ban is based on a german regulation that outlaws devices with a hidden listening/recording functionality. The fact that the devices are often insecure and allow arbitrary persons to listen in is a secondary issue, the primary issue is that the children (and people around the children) cannot determine that the device has a recording/transmitting function and even if they know cannot determine if the device is currently transmitting. The rights of the persons around the children exist and need to be enforced, so the devices in their current form are illegal to sell or to own. Seems not so odd to me.
I mean, it's not hard to take a fact, take it out of context, and present it in a way that promotes some negative view of Islam.
Politics? This is not about people who are just hacking their tax system?

If we pay close enough attention, surely we could automate all this into a tax-avoidance-as-a-service app. Maybe turn it into smart contracts on a blockchain machine-learning cloud buzzword buzzword? And once you start making real money, you can eat your own dog food to keep more of it.

I guess I could see how some readers might let their primate fairness response generate an emotional reaction, but I think it's pretty cool how these people exploited vulnerabilities in the code--that typically go years or decades without getting patched--to improve their lives by a marginal amount at a relatively large cost to absolutely everyone else in their respective countries, in a way that strictly obeys the letter of the law while completely subverting its spirit. If that's not hacking, I don't know what is.

Why, that's no more political than attaching a RazPi and some 3D-printed plastic components to the optics and lower receiver of a sniper rifle, such that an attacker could successfully strike a moving target--as a completely hypothetical example--on the deck of a luxury yacht cruising more than a mile offshore through somewhat rough seas, somewhere between Malta and the Caymans.

And it isn't as though many of us are paid, sometimes very well, to eliminate jobs through automation, or to mine and reduce big data from the consumer population, or disrupt existing industries to the detriment of the people who built careers in them, or to create technologies that tend to increase the concentration of wealth and power in those who already have it. We're completely apolitical! We have no real need to consider the social ramifications of what we do!

Which is why my favorite is:

1. Research and find vulnerabilities
2. Publish publicly immediately
They are not banned for being insecure IoT devices, they are banned for being hidden listening devices. the IoT angle is something that's just in the BBC article and the statements of their experts, not in the ban notice.

That is, IMO, one of the big areas that Phoenix falls flat on. Sure there are buildpacks that you can use for Heroku deploys but AFAIK there is only one hosting service that delivers a truly easy PaaS deploy process for Phoenix apps and that is Gigalixir (and from what I hear they aren't cheap).
It's not about telling parents what their kids should or should not wear. Hidden listening devices are illegal in germany, for children or adults the same. It just happens that no adult smart watch has a built-in functionality that allows people not present to start monitoring the surroundings.

I'm probably not the best person to comment, as I tend to drop out to the command line for most things and might not recognise when something's hard to fix using GUI tools, but I've worked with colleagues who are not terribly good at CLI linux.

Specially from security point of view.

There is a reason why most of us learned our lesson and moved plugins out-of-process.

Performance can still be achieved via shared memory, exposing much less data from the host process.
Accelerating at 1.28g (41.25 ft/s2) for 8 seconds will get you to exactly a quarter mile.

x = 0.5*a*t^2 = 0.5 * 41.25 ft/s2 * (8s)^2 = 1320 ft = 1/4 mi

Under that acceleration, your final speed is 225 mph

v = a*t = 41.25 ft/s2 * 8s = 330 ft/s = 225 mph

Not being able to donate money to someone that has no way of receiving that money seems sketch, but letting money rest in the account of a third-party that has no affiliation with the receiver is fine?
The article is wrong on that account. Children smartwatches are in general allowed, just not models that have monitoring capabilities. GPS tracking for example would be legal.
There is a perception in right wing circles that this is also related to trumpism, after all this crash is happening with the stock market at an all time high. A lot of these publications are at the 'progressive' end of the spectrum and they may have misread the market, even for their core readers.

Specifically the media (and in particular digital media's) response seems to have been one of all out activism against him may be working against them. People don't explicitly want to be told what to believe. Or listen to people drone on for over a year about the same stories (rightly or wrongly - but at some point it ceases to be news).
In what sense? cmake can generate compile_commands.json so projects built using cmake are supported.
> One kid with a hidden listening device could be in the vicinity of other kids whom it overhears, whose parents did not consent.

This ban doesn't solve that problem though. A child could wear an adult smartwatch that has a listening capability.
Both AirSim and CARLA aim to fill in similar gaps in the current state of photorealistic simulators for perception and control research. Here are some differences one of my collegueas told me (he has used AirSim and beta-tested CARLA):

AirSim

+ Also has quadcopter simulator (besides car)

+ Large environment

+ Easy to add new environments

CARLA

+ Simulator can be stepped

+ Multiple weather conditions

+ Environment has pedestrians and other cars
The article properly points this out too.
You mentioned "problems that ought to be solved" but the list reads more like "ideas I think can make money".

What is the problem that a "social network for kids" is solving, for example?

I think it'd be much more useful to, frankly, disregard what other similar founders think might be a martketable idea and to instead find professionals in a variety of high capital spend industries and interview them about problems they face.

Java applets. Back in the mid 90's Java was at the peak of its hype cycle and was the darling language. I thought the idea of writing an app in a 'modern advanced' language, compiling it down to a bytecode, and running it in your browser was the future of the web. And if someone had told me back then that Javascript would be the language of the web I would have spat my coffee out laughing.

Unfortunately speed, security, and the need to install a seperate run-time/plugin layer were too much for people at the time.

But hey, now 20 years later we are finally starting to see that vision in Web Assembly. ;-)
Thats actually what they did, the article is a bit misleading.
