If this situation were to happen to him, he would only have legal remedies, not the ability to use political influence (since he lacks sufficient capital). He could sue for reversal or buy it back. He would almost certainly lose the suit since it was his responsibility, as an adult, to tell the Government where to send the bill. The Government doesn't care why you failed to live up to your obligation of informing them, and you had over a decade to find and correct your mistake.

Buying it back would work, but cost more than buying someone's political influence to aid you since not only would there be a substantial up-front buy but also the property would be reassessed and have much greater on-going tax liability. However, he lacks the monetary capital to buy influence and banks will not send you money for that so you must be rich to get this special treatment. He is not rich, so he would get treated equal to anyone else who was not rich -- under the law.
This is the quote that gets me:

"“The smaller the unit of government, the harder it is to solve this problem,” Mr. Friedman said."

This is incredibly arrogant and destructive.

First, do you know why, Mr. Friedman, it's harder to "solve" this "problem" at the local level? It's because you're dealing with the actual residents who are involved in their community and government and they can't just be greased up like state politicians.

Second, it's only a 'problem' from your perspective, but I don't think anything here is a problem, it's a feature. It should be difficult to get approval for a new building in a community and it should be difficult to convince the residents of the community that what you're doing will benefit their community - the one that they live in.

I can't fathom how people don't understand that it should be expensive to live in California right next to one of the best universities on the planet. California (and the United States) cannot afford to continue to add people (either by reproduction or immigration), and you are delusional if you think you're going to keep adding people and somehow everything is going to be affordable and great like it was in the 60s or something.

The fact of the matter is that more people will mean higher prices, and those who live in desirable communities have every incentive (and rightfully so) to not see their community turned into a dystopian skyscraper land.

Instead of trying to move to Berkely, move somewhere else. There's plenty of planet out there.

Do you want to suggest that we humans live for no other reason than to procreate?

Don't you think we, as a species, should be able to think a bit further ahead, instead of basing all our behavior and goals on procreating, like we are some kind of mindless virus?

Rabbits might not be sentient or "smart" enough to realize when they are overpopulating a region and having a negative impact on the environment.
But we humans most certainly are "smart" enough to realize it, yet we still act like rabbits to it.

You are looking at it from the perspective of a seasoned security professional. It's like looking at the terrorist attack in Nice from a military point of view and saying "eh, this was just a guy on a lorry; it's much more difficult to raid Osama in the middle of Pakistan". That might well be, but this does not matter to the general public - to them, concepts like "botnets" are immaterial, whereas Slippin' Jimmy entering their macbooks to read their emails while they're sleeping is very real.

In that sense, the impact here was bigger than any other security hole ever experienced on the Mac.

I’ve definitely seen postings around asking for 4+ years experience in React or something equally ridiculous (React has existed for 4 years).

I think that hiring practices haven’t really caught up to pace of reality yet. Nobody does the same thing for more than 5 years anymore, even if you’ve been at a company that long what you’re doing today does not look like what you were doing then. The chance that a new hire already knows all the parts of your stack is basically zero. What you want is someone who soaks up frameworks like a sponge.

Overall I'm quite impressed with the machine and the experience. I switched to Dell after having used a MacBook Pro for many years. The 4K screen is gorgeous, it's fast, it has 32gb of RAM and the build quality is good. The TouchPad is a tad bellow Apple level in terms of feel & precision though.
One big benefit of Dell is that you can get proper, next day Support if something breaks (while with apple, you are supposed to drive your work machines to the Apple Store and then wait for a replacement).

Author here. Thanks for the feedback. I wrote this because I've seen too many APIs I couldn't use or had to discard later on because they forgot to expose a lower-level parameter. Yes, supporting additional parameters is a trade-off on stability, but I think it boils down to separating things that change frequently from things that shouldn't change, i.e., having a low-level interface and a high-level interface on the same API. Advanced users that work with internal parameters should know they're on unstable territory. Document that to acknowledge them about the risk. They'll have the flexibility they need knowing about the cost. I guess that if you don't do that, you'll lose users for an API that does.

You don't need to expose each internal parameter or write adapters to everything you use. As suggested by the sibling here, sometimes all you need is to pass down kwargs to the low-level call.

Other API guidelines that suggest a similar approach here:

>Let’s recap the week of Apple software problems:

- macOS High Sierra critical flaw with root admin access

- macOS High Sierra update released, but breaks file sharing

- iOS 11 crashing on some iPhones due to a date bug

- macOS High Sierra fix not installing correctly on some systems

-iOS 11.2 released early to fix iPhone crash bug

Yeah I would say that is a pretty bad week
I'm most likely projecting my brother. But my man, it's hard not to. I've just read your comments to my wife without telling her the context, and she said "sounds just like your brother". I mean no harm, I wish you all the best, but I couldn't resist reacting, it touched a nerve I guess. My brother always talks about how he helps friends and family, he tries to understand everyone, feels empathy. But there's never anything to show for it. I know I'm just an object to him, a shell, we all are, to take the abuse. If I drive him somewhere (he doesn't drive) he will not appreciate it, because that is my role in his life. He will even text uncles and friends late at night to drive him or do some other favor. But none of it counts, because he is the only one who feels, he listened to me when I had problems, and empathized. I guess I need to bow in front of him, the majesty, only person in the world who feels. When I read your comments, I get the same vibe, it hits all the right spots. It's uncanny really.

The fact that ohur president in 2017 constantly throws out threats of nuclear war on a mass communication platform and yet has a sizable support says humans are fundamentally flawed. Just needs a few bad actors at the top and we'd be over.
The way I took "obvious" is that these things are obvious to people who have been dealing with such things for years to the point that they don't realize they aren't obvious to those that haven't.

I've noticed that this is a common thing - it's very rare for someone who has spent years in a particular area to sit down and distill things that have become obvious to them over time in a way that can be taught to newcomers.
Your brother loves you. I promise. For both of your sakes, don’t lose sight of that, no matter how much he makes you try.

TLDR; Three problems have stemmed from the same bug. One patch had errors and required more fixing for a subset of users. The complaint seems to be that Apple moved too fast to fix this bug.

I dunno... You really need to fix something like this quickly and you might not have time for a really good QA round; so you rush it. Could they do better, sure.
Hahahah, yeah that’s it mate. Hacker News is on the forefront of the infowars. This article is an absolute joke. The author has terrible reasoning skills. I’m glad to see that this has been flagged.
It would rarely be effective to market yourself as a generalist on paper.

If you have 3 primary skill sets you should have 3 focused resumes.

If you want a position that requires a generalist, the only/best fit would be founder. In almost all other circumstances, companies hire for a problem and not general optimizations. Even if they need a generalist.

I would posit that you have a marketing problem and not a skills mismatch problem. The noise to signal ratio on your resume may be making it seem to not match any position.
Honestly, the way I got hired recently was by just reading job postings and cramming on the frameworks mentioned in them until I was competent enough to pass an interview/coding challenge. I’m a little peeved that it was essentially company training on my dime, and you have to count on companies not refusing to hire unless you have x years, but it did get me hired.

"When Jobs returned from his medical leave, Cook resumed his role as the person who kept the moving parts at Apple tightly meshed and remained unfazed by Jobs’s tantrums.... 'I’m a good negotiator, but he’s probably better than me because he’s a cool customer,' Jobs later said.

I could write down few tips about how to best plan your schedule, but being able to understand and manage one's own depression and anxiety is key for some people. It can really affect one's will to just get our there and do stuff versus putting something off until it becomes inconvenient.

It's been hard for me to tell when I've been in a "funk", but anytime I've come out of one, it's immediately obvious that something was wrong and I become much more productive in every area of my life.

For some people, it a constant battle, but it's easier to deal with if you have a core support group of friends and family who can help you realize when you're not quite being yourself, though, this is somewhat of a catch 22.

Blame always runs up, never down.
One reason to believe there are no meaningful genetic differences is that we've seen large-scale migration leading to different cultures among genetically similar people, and similar cultures among genetically diverse people. There are a lot of people with the same Anglo-Saxon stock in "red state" America, in "blue-state" America, and in the UK with rather different cultures, political preferences, social norms, etc. There are a lot of ethnic Russian diaspora communities who did not lean towards communism during the 20th century. (Yes, this is a pointed example, but I think we need to be clear about what our examples are, or everyone is going to argue about their own unstated personal stereotypes and we won't be discussing anything productive.) There are plenty of second-generation immigrants in America, like myself, who have basically assimilated into the dominant culture and carry little of their ancestors' culture beyond what was impressed on us in childhood via nurture.

Meanwhile, there are lots of different genetic groups making up America, even within a race - the American definition of "white" is extremely genetically diverse and contains lots of backgrounds that have formed separate identities in Europe, and you don't see a lot of cultural separation on those lines. You see cultural separation on visible lines like actual skin color, language, recency of immigration, etc. But all of that is more easily explained by humans making conscious choices to associate with certain people we think are like ourselves, not genetics.

Tendency towards aggression, as your paper shows, is an individual characteristic, and something that can be overridden in either direction by social norms. (Even within a fairly homogenous genetic group, there's a huge amount of individual variation in aggressiveness.) I'm certainly happy to concede that genetics matters a lot at the individual level, but it's a large leap to find that it matters at the cultural level. If you introduce one million people without (or with) this gene slowly into a culture of people with (or without) this gene, letting them assimilate, letting them have children and raise them within the existing culture and intermarry, would we expect a chance in cultural norms for people with this genetic background? Possibly, but I certainly wouldn't expect one.
Companies find it hard to staff generalist positions because they don't know how to interview/hire generalists. If a generalist interviews with a team that has several specialists then one of specialists can easily knock down the hire decision because the candidate isn't _as_good_as_ the specialist.
Cauchy & Weiesraß reformulated ”infinitesimal calculus” rigorously in terms of limits and called it Real Funcional Analysis.
It seems you think we humans live for some reason, or reasons. Can you provide one or more such reason?
I don't lack professionalism because I'm unable/unwilling to provide the same level of support that full time specialists/shops offer. I'm just not a fit for jobs where that's what needed. Maybe that makes me less of a specialist, but it doesn't make me inherently unprofessional. And a lot of times that's not what's needed! As an artist I'll tell you that in art worlds there are plenty of professional jobs where you do something well and walk away... There are others who are better suited to taking what you've built and integrating it over a longer term, particularly, it's people who have stake in the project.

Have you ever done freelance web stuff for small businesses? There are some people who want you to be their webmaster... You give them a CMS and they want you to go fix their typos. So you say "Okay, sure, but it'll be $50/hr" and then they get frustrated because they don't have someone doing that kind of work on their end. They think it's your job to "make their website", but don't want to take ownership of the thing.

This is an analogy for the kind of thing I'm taking about. I want to help solve problems, and I want to provide value for my employers, but I'm unwilling mindlessly give up my time to people who don't value it outside of their myopic needs. A lot of times, that's what's expected to be "a professional". Well I don't want that. I'd rather be an amateur who's also a respectful and savvy business partner, who's definitely interested in helping you with your project but also keeps healthy boundaries for myself.

I'm definitely more of "an amateur" (lover of) than a professional, but I don't see why that should make me automatically "unprofessional" in my business relationships. On the contrary, I think it's fully possible to "be professional" without providing unrelenting 40+ hr/week service for a year. If that's not what you're looking for then with all due respect that's fine! But please don't blanket assume I'm "less professional".

Using an iPhone X only proves to me that Apple engineers make incredible software that just work....when they want to. The app switching on iPhone X is perfect bc there was probably a team on that.

Their idea of "a western, French revolution" is pure fantasy. The French revolution started with the Declaration of the Rights of Man, but quickly turned into the unelected tyrant Robespierre holding absolute authority.
This is the result of Apple trying to become a "fashionable products company" instead of a "premium products company".

Premium is about the whole package delivering high value -
at a reasonably high cost, too. Fashion is almost 100% about aesthetics, at a much higher price. Not much value in relation to price except for branding and the exclusivity aspect (which is tied to the very high prices). But fashion often has little to do with the quality/price ratio of the product. See those ridiculous diamond-covered $50,000 phones with 3-year old specs and OS versions.

I believe Apple is also selling some ridiculous $17,000 smart watches now. The similarly priced Xeon-based Mac Pros almost enter this category, too.

It's about culture and priorities inside the company. The moment I saw them shift towards the "fashion" aspect, I knew things would start to go downhill for Apple in terms of quality as well as value per product.

If they don't check and rectify their priorities soon, they're going to have much bigger problems in the long term, maybe unfixable problems.
