I think we need to talk about this in more detail.

Let's say some company like Google has income all across the world. People click ads in Germany. Some German company pays Google €1. Google doesn't want to pay US taxes on it. It "parks" this money in Germany.

I think that's different from let's say some American company has some income $100 from another American company. But we set up a fake company in a tax free country and says we had to spend $100 in "intellectual property" thus our profit is zero so we don't pay taxes.

I am not an accountant so please correct me if I am wrong in these scenarios.

I don't quite understand tax policy to be honest. For example: tax rate. Is it really just random numbers that people agree on? It just doesn't seem any of this is based on science. More like everyone is trying to get what they can.

Here is another one: if I click an ad on Google for Google Chrome, does Google pay itself for the ad amount? If so, do they owe sales tax on that transaction? How foes this work? Is it possible for us to tax revenue instead of taxing profits (perhaps at a lower rate)?

I think part of our problem is our addiction to deductions and credits. If people want to simplify the tax code, we should try to eliminate deductions and credits.
I'm going to be pedantic as well and say that instead of :

> the flying reptiles that lived during the dinosaur era

they should have written "the flying reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic"

There is an accurate terminology for geological time intervals, why not use it? I know this is an article for the general public, but still, talking about "dinosaur era" dumbs things down needlessly and it's not even correct for the reason you mention.
A lot of what you list is output. Output is actually not that hard once you actually know your domain very well. It's just putting what you already know/understand well onto paper.

Input or synthesis based activities are much harder and take more voluntary investment imo. For many of us, becoming very good at our craft (ex: day job) will be the input activity, and the retained knowledge can be channeled as output over multiple mediums.
Folks, don't despair; always look at the bright side. They're still years away from backdoor access to every German person!
He was not elected because of support of the oligarchs. Jeb Bush was the sort of President they wanted.

I think people underestimate how much of a break Donald is from the past - not because of who he is, but because of the way he was elected. Someone with real political skill is going to emerge from this desire for major change and if you are a member of the 0.01% you should be worried.
Interesting. What were the long-term effects of this? Did women get more rights/sooner, compared to other parts of the world? Or was it just "a phase" with little long-term impact?
Your critique is worthless. There is a huge difference between "fair" and legally conducted. Yes, this bill seems to have been passed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America by duly elected officials. That does not make it good or moral, or fair.

America has committed genocide, it has tolerated and supported slavery, it has enacted policies in support of eugenics. All legal, all duly enacted by elected representation in Congress and the presidency. But in each of those cases it was thoroughly right and proper for American citizens to criticize the wrongful acts of the government and to call, vociferously, for a change of policy.

The same is true today. And it is in keeping with the foundational constitutional freedoms of this republic (the right to free speech, to petition the government for the redress of grievances, the right to assembly) to do so now.
your company markets, has sales people, and manages every part of the transaction from signing the contract to developing the code. I don't know if all that is 77/hour, but it might be.
They won’t get married.

Well, sure, but what about the second-order effects? Will we see a mass emigration of Chinese men to countries where they have more to offer than local men? Will we see an effort by the Chinese government to attract foreign women to the country? Will those men head off into the hills to eat barbecue, fire their AKs and forment revolution with their bros?

There are not many large countries with a female surplus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_sex_ratio - well Brazil and Canada I guess.

As an activist (both on the street and in legislative fora) that's garbage. People absolutely work on all phases of the democratic process here.
Part of the reason my job needs to exist is to address lack of adequate staffing levels and dysfunctional inter-departmental practices. I would say the company I work for is transitioning between one that is haphazardly run to one that is more professional, but that transition doesn't happen overnight, and you need people to pick up the slack during that transition.
Correct me if I’m wrong but last time I tried to make a new bucket’s contents public it was a real PITA. The default configuration is very locked down. So I think it’s never a case of minimal configuration and always misconfiguration.
Last place I went to offered unblocked access to google, hotmail, and probably a few others until you finished confirming your email address. Joke's on them, though, because I only needed to access google services to write some emails and attach pics from google photos.
This is pretty much the playbook I tried with my father last night, to no avail.

You see, it’s not about rational arguments - and if you try to fight it on those grounds, you’ll have Brexit all over your hands, and it’s a nightmare to clean up.

No - last night I explained how the proposed legislation would directly hurt him, how it would take away freedoms he currently enjoys. Everything looped back to “but Obama crippled the internet in 2015” and “but I want internet freedom”.

When those didn’t fit, it turned into generational crap. “My generation invented the internet. Yours just uses it for smartphones and twitter and facebook. We wouldn’t even be having this argument if it weren’t for millennials messing up the internet.”

He’s not stupid - he’s just suspending the rational thought he’s amply capable of in favour of comforting lies. No, he’s broken, without hope.

The content, the detail, the logic, the impact - all irrelevant. What is relevant is picking at the feeling of trapped failure that pervades much of society, and providing the population with a facile solution to their complex problems. “Vote for internet freedom, imagine the flag flying in the breeze against a clear blue sky and an eagle flies by, just like the good old days, when pop would put you on his shoulders to see the marching band”.

Problem is, when you try to argue either the immediate argument or the broader emotional trap they’re in, they dig in deeper - nobody wants to be the fool who fell in a trap.

It’s very nearly if not actually checkmate politics - I cannot see an out that doesn’t require going through hell, and I’ll be delightfully surprised if this doesn’t pass into law with roaring popular support.
I quite agree but if I were to go into detail about my thoughts on this it would quickly be flagged into invisibility :)

I'm terribly surprised that McCain went along with this legislative process. No one had time to read the bill - or even have the bill itself - when the votes were cast. Just makes no sense.

Not all cold blooded animals went extinct, you know.

Sadly, we may never know why pterosaurs went extinct and not birds. Could be just bad luck. I mean, maybe both groups went through a very narrow bottleneck and only birds survived for no other reasons than particular circumstances.
okay lets reframe the question to "Time Management Tricks and Tips" for "Input or synthesis based activities".
And many also have kids! My guess is they just don't sleep.
Those concerns aren't unfounded. Companies have formed alliances to keep prices artificially high. Some are out in the open, some aren't.
This is dumb.

Of course people can protest. Nobody's questioning that.

However, this victim mindset where everything process is "unfair" and elections are "fundamentally broken" is not healthy.
I always install security updates as soon as they are released but I do not and I advise my friends not to upgrade to the latest major release right when it's been released.

I still remember the update to el capitan destroying my filevault with all my files (luckily I had backup). Recent major releases from OS X introduce regressions and are bug ridden for the first 6 months.
That’s not the point the commenter is making.
Dirac?

My favorite example of bogus-but-effective mathematics in physics is the Dirac Delta "function".
A failed one.
I agree with this. In time for when my son was born, I changed jobs to be fully remote, to avoid my partner feeling isolate as well as to be able to spend time with my son and help raise him more than just financially, but as you say, the "parents groups" are almost entirely mums & children, and the one or two that I've been to, I feel completely out of place.
They may not be able to marry a Chinese woman, but maybe they can find a foreign wife. It's common for men to "buy" women from poorer countries. Who knows, maybe they'll find American or European brides.
Yes it did. Australian women were amongst the first in the world to get the right to vote (1901)[1].

1. South Australia (now a state) was the first country in the world to allow women to vote (in the 1890s) although from memory New Zealand was the first “country" to allow women to vote - I should mention that NZ was as much as country at the time as South Australia (all were British dominions).

Have you ever heard of Kubernetes, a tool that is so much in the upswing that it dominated the last Amazon announcements, that Docker decided to integrate with it despite being its competitor in some regards, that hundreds of thousands of engineers suffer to use for some time now because our bosses heard it would be a cool thing at some conference (and bosses don't really care if such a software is finished or not)?

If so, you might want to reconsider the name of your tool/framework/whatever, because the name Helm is basically taken in many engineers' head.
Come to think of it -- calculus wasn't really rigorous until a LONG time after Newton introduced it. Isn't Riemann sometimes credited as the guy who finally straightened it out?

It is fun. As for how I got into it, I got hired for a different role (test engineer), proved myself in this role but also took on extra responsibilities outside my remit (I should note that I also had worked in various different technical roles in previous jobs). An opportunity came up to be a founding member of a new Business Analyst team and I took it, but because of the structure of the company I'm in I didn't leave the IT Development team fully, so now I sit somewhere between them. In the space of a week I can be doing data analysis, business analysis, software testing, software development and user training. The hours are long, but I'm seeing improvements in the business culture gradually coming in as a result of this work, which is satisfying.
> I need to nudge them to take the situation seriously and follow the logical consequences that follow if they are married to a borderline.

No you don’t. It’s clear that the poster is already taking it seriously. Personal advice is ok but the tone should be considered more carefully, especially given that you have had negative experiences before (bias.)

> If the wife is the rare borderline who actually cares to get treatment and overcome her BPD...

Sheesh.
Also, IIRC, many very important things like vector calculus, Fourier and Laplace transforms, and other differential equation stuff was added far later.

I'm not convinced of either the facts or the narrative here.

As to the facts, it does not look to me like Slovakia had particularly low fertility.

See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Slovakia

"Half of all women born before 1930 had three or more children compared to one-third of Czech women of the same birth cohorts": https://www.demographic-research.org/volumes/vol19/25/19-25....

As to the narrative, I've never heard of a society breeding itself into prosperity. In 2005, the 10 countries with the highest fertility in the world were: Niger, Mali, Somalia, Chad, Burundi, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, East Timor, and Angola.

Bottom 10 on that list were: Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, Malta, Portugal, South Korea, Singapore, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Hong Kong, and Macau. A somewhat mixed record of success, to be sure, but would any of them want to trade places with any country in the top 10?

Apple releases iOS 11.2 with date crashing fix
Urban Dictionary: whatever
I landed in Australia this morning and as soon as my phone updated to Dec 2 on the new network my phone started locking up immediately. It would go to the loading screen (spinner in middle of screen) every 8-12 seconds then reset to lock screen after 4-5 more, making it nearly impossible to even access settings for more than a few seconds. I was able to disable local notifications for the apps that I know use them after 3 or 4 tries (required some quick navigation to get to the right screen before it locked up). I captured the logs on a number of occasions but and saw a few anomalies in the logs including this one:

iPhone kernel[0] <Notice>: 2404.102 memorystatus: killing_highwater_process pid 736 [SpringBoard] (highwater 16) - memorystatus_available_pages: 26834

Possibly SpringBoard consuming too much memory because of the bug?

Additional saw some of these, although not sure if they are a factor:

iPhone dasd(DuetActivitySchedulerDaemon)[107] <Notice>: com.apple.healthd.achievement-asset-manager:E60402:[

Internet shrinks the world and make those that are absolutely amazing and ahead of most others more visible.

I think it's good to not fall into the trap and compare oneself too much with the best. Just consider if it is a net benefit for you, and realize that on the web you risk not just trying to be the best in your room, your school or city but in the wide world.
Carmageddon for Tesla
You. Just. Questioned it. That's what you posted. Telling people not to criticize and somehow just wait around stewing in silence until election day is idiotic.

To boot, the remainder of your critique is also off base. The electoral college is broken. And redistricting, gerrymandering, and voter suppression are incredibly "unfair". These aren't petty quibbles, these are truths. Federal courts have established that voter suppression has been happening, that illegal gerrymandering has been happening. Fantasising that these assaults at the integrity of our elections and representation are somehow inconsequential is either ignorance bordering on disastrous negligence in the stewardship of American democracy or simply villainy. Which describes your position?
I try to hear that. I succeed a little. Mostly I think about the incalculable cost to the rest of us. I have two children who are suicidal from time to because of a person close to them who is borderline. Me too.

It's a marketing gimmick. Along with a ridiculous algorithms heavy whiteboard interview process (think Manacher's, graph algos)... all for average compensation and you'll probably end up babysitting a database at most.

Another rather dark article about Tesla. Wolf doesn't like Tesla or Wall Street much, but he generally backs up his forceful opinions with numbers and solid analysis. If Tesla is still purchasing car batteries from Panasonic as Wolf claims, that's a bombshell.
Focused human attention is still by far the most powerful optimization device we have.

AI hype notwithstanding, no machine learning comes even close -- it's generally a parameter search in a space that's too pedestrian, leaving the real hard work (defining the problem context, goals / objective function, viable tradeoffs and shortcuts) to the human.

Cute AI demos aside, when reliability comes knocking on the door, you end up looking for ways to simplify or avoid the whole bloody mess.

If you spend the time to understand the problem well enough (as you must with space tech), the number of degrees of freedom aka model parameters shrinks. Then suddenly computing power and large-scale parameter searches don't buy you as much; their trade-offs against increased complexity aren't as appealing.

For anyone wondering why this is, it's because parseInt takes two arguments "string" and "radix".

Map calls a function with "currentValue", "index", and "array".

So the calls essentially look like this:

parseInt("1", 0, arrayReference) // => 1
parseInt("2", 1, arrayReference) // => NaN
parseInt("3", 2, arrayReference) // => NaN
IMHO the apps should be storage agnostic, with setup including choosing storage (possibly including paid plans).

Meditating that through a standardised storage connector would mean the IoT apps have very little to do.

That could be something like SFTP, but there are some interesting things like
https://remotestorage.io/ that allow you to write your own storage provider so decentralised apps can choose their own data store/change storage later without changing the app.

Can you please explain this? It makes no sense to me (as c# developer) that `["1", "2", "3"].map(parseInt)` whould get different result from `["1", "2", "3"].map(a => parseInt(a))`.

Why are they not equivalent?

EDIT: Never mind, another comment explained this.
