Yup. I put almost everything through CCs and pay it off weekly/bi weekly. I almost never keep a balance except on 0% interest cards which are handy for large purchases. By having a few cards and keeping your utilization low (under 15%) you'll be able to make your credit score sky rocket which is crucial for when you need a car/home loan.
Ick, good point. Since the fake set is a map, that should use key lookup?
‘Barely convince’? When did that happen? I think it is fair to say Americans are flat out incapable of voting in their own best interest. It could be argued they don’t even have a chance to, but regardless, they by-and-large cannot identify that chance whether it exists or not.
They are a US company. Fiduciary duty is per parent company. The complaint isn’t about the French subsidiary not paying taxes, but for parent.
How do you define "digital currency"? Under US legal tender laws BTC isn't money. You can incur capital gains when you exchange BTC for something over the basis you acquired it for, but you essentially gave smoothing of value away for something ephemeral.
Removing the 2/3 compatibility shims saves a lot of code and runtime cost, that could be a contributing factor.

The victim is not the company. It is the users - people like you and me. Let me say it again - companies are NOT the victims.
I'd argue that the NRA is an outlier, because of how closely it's tied to specific companies with a profit motive. This provides a stronger and more persistent organizational backbone then usually found among just concerned-citizens.

Depending on what Congress does, they don't even need to wait for the policy to be enacted before it could be affecting their sales, stock prices, and executive compensation.

In contrast, there aren't any companies who are so directly financially tied to the First Amendment. Oh, sure, it's a public good, but you can't sell free speech the same way you can sell guns.
You can't actually suck all the energy out - the best you can do is get the atom into its ground state, which is still non-zero.

The de Broglie wavelength of the atom is (h/p), where h is Planck's constant, and p is the atom's momentum. This is the wavelength of the atom's probability wave, so at the minimum value of p, the atom has some 'fixed maximum size', if you want to call it that (but size isn't really an accurate descriptor, more like 'the region in which you might find the atom').

The Bose-Einstein condensate is defined as the state where the de Broglie wavelength for atoms in a cloud is larger than the spacing between atoms - the probability waves overlap, and it is no longer possible to distinguish one from another.

Ask HN: Wealth inequalities: Has capitalism shown its limits?
J. Bezos is worth 100B$, and about 2,000 people are billionaires today.

Do you consider this as a normal situation, where even in developed countries, poverty is still non negligible (about 40M people, in the united states, which is 12% of the population)[1] ? The inequalities are still very high in the US, let alone developing countries.

Do you consider that capitalism is at the root of this problem? How could we solve this inequality?

It’s relatively easy to argue that murder is immoral even if there was a legal loophole. It’s much more difficult to argue that employing legal methods to reduce your tax burden is immoral.
I am still hoping for a breakthrough in (methan) fuel cells and electrolysis.

Storing, transporting and refilling batteries would be really easy then, also in big amounts. Main problem is still just the fuel cell (and the counterparts). Expensive, short life cycle, low efficiency (for non building sized ones)

Banning bars is obviously the right thing to do!
Speculation: they found an issue in the previous compiler, identified apps that maybe were affected by the issue, and so recompiled them?

Companies have a reasonable obligation to protect our data, so I'm with you if they were negligent in prevention, detection, mitigation, or revelation. If they took reasonable measures to prevent, and were forthcoming if compromised anyway, and took measures to minimize damage to users, there's no reason to blame them.
I think it's pretty clear that you don't actually believe in evolution.
That research is incomplete. Look at the bottom of page 3:

"A portion of the population without a drivers license – whether valid or not – will have a photo ID,
but without an analysis by race and location, it is not possible to estimate that population. "

The question here isn't whether or not they have valid drivers license, it's whether or not they have a valid photo ID good enough to vote with.

Thank you for providing that link, though. It's less biased than the others so far.
I feel like the premise of this article is wrong because does slack really care how much you use it? Don’t they just get $$$ per seat. They just want businesses to keep buying. This is opposed to Facebook where their business is keeping users engaged.
It is interesting to me that the author distinguishes only between "far right" and "mainstream," with the latter apparently including those who find it ironically funny (at least in 2011) to tweet a call to kill all white people. Haha, so funny. And kill all men is merely ironic misandry in the mainstream world.

Therefore, reporting an account that tweets such things is obviously done in bad faith, whereas reporting an account that tweets videos of Muslims behaving badly is obviously always done in good faith.

The inability to recognize one's own hypocrisy is a symptom of moral blindness. Blaming the results on Twitter and calling their attempts to moderate fairly a "shitshow" instead of simply owning your own bad behavior and deleting tweets that are patently offensive is the only ironically funny part of the article.

Yes, it is a terrible idea for terrorists.

And currently, bitcoin is too hard to use for terrorists or most criminals. You have to be relatively sophisticated. Yah, you may have gotten your grandma a wallet, but that's not the same as mastering the level of opsec to fund a clandestine organization using cryptocurrencies...

And further, since every transaction is recorded forever in the blockchain if any future address is compromised, the entire network can be compromised instantaneously....

Bitcoin is really worse for terrorist financing than good old USD.

And we "lost" trillions of USD on Pallets in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
It's hard to be this wrong. This phrasing seems either malicious, incredibly ignorant, or astroturfing because it completely inverts how the heart of American R&D labor gets paid for.

The reasoning ignores who actually does R&D work. Graduate students aren't your drinking buddy snoozing in lectures about tax codes or sitting around being spoonfed secrets to higher salaries. Instead, they are actively providing the primary labor force driving advanced R&D in America. Professors play a role.. but more akin to management and leadership. I am not exaggerating -- most R&D papers are the result of 2-4 graduate students doing most of the direct details work, and the professors as the last 1-2 authors who secured the grant, run the weekly meetings, and a few other things.

Given an environment where core R&D is already underpaid.. it's bizarre to see someone advocating further reductions in compensation. And phrased so carefully as "decreases in subsidies"... bravo! It's disappointing that I can see this being just as easily being Russian trolling or the result of years of well-funded _American_ think tanks who are clearly not working for the public's interest.

So when I read writing from people like the above, I have to agree with Scott Aaronson. Both corporations and the federal government have been gutting R&D in America for awhile now, and it's pretty clear mainstream Republicans are running the show for both sides on this one.
That's more true for Google since very few of its product are actually making money.
Everything comes from advertising, which comes mainly from Google search. This they have no real incentive to keep any product that doesn't display ads.

A solution could be to let the users pay a little money for google services (and avoid tracking / use of its data for advertising? )

I think that the grad student tax would increase the number of grad students.

If the tax increase goes through, universities will probably respond my significantly increasing "indirects" and decreasing tuition. They could twiddle the numbers so that the university still makes the same average off of every grant, and students take homes don't change at all.

But there would be in important difference: from a PI's perspective, grad students would be relatively cheaper. Paradoxically, taxing tuition may have the net effect of creating more grad student positions (while decreasing the spend on capital investments).
HN needs an upgrade...
Seems as dead simple to me as to argue about murder. If you're a company that's present in a certain geographic area, you're expected to pay taxes in that area. If you don't pay taxes and you actively work on not paying taxes, you're immoral. Done.

That's the problem, and it doesn't matter if you think it's not something that is likely.

Truth of the matter is, you committed no crime. This law would be the crime.

I've been slow banned. Apparently HN has detected my opinions are not sufficiently marxist. I know how this goes. I was once shadow banned here for relating how I had met Grace Hopper. Another time for merely linking to a PDF of a scientific paper in response to someone elses scientific claim. (over 10 years that's about how many times I've tried to give this site another chance... this was the third one, and I'm done now. Thinking is not tolerated here, clearly.)

It was nice being on HN for awhile... but of course, the anti-intellectual snowflakes who run this site cannot abide actual critical thinking.

A shame, this could be a good site if discussions were allowed, instead it is a filter bubble of only one ideological viewpoint.

The bay area is quickly losing creditability-- as you advocate for "net neutrality" (which contains government censorship powers) on the argument that without it we will get government censorship, yet twitter and facebook and google are full scale censoring any viewpoint other than hard core militant marxist SJW... not to mention, HN does this as well. You guys reject thinking and the concept of diversity while justifying your sexism, racism and general bigotry with the #diversity hash tag.

The thing is, you know you're hypocrites, but instead of learning or thinking you just make your wall 10 feet higher.

So to respond to the guy below:

These "laws" (which are unconstitutional, by the way) make a mockery of the rule of law. They erode our rights until we are purely at the mercy of the whim of tyrants. You assume the rule of law is there to protect you and you would have recourse, but you're wrong. There are many examples similar to your buried gold one-- people having their life savings simply stolen by the government under asset forfeiture, or going to jail for "money laundering" etc when they did nothing actually criminal.

This theory is not supported by voter turnout in European countries with less poverty and more happiness (measured by various indexes).

The EU doesn't have general legislative competence for tax: it's reserved to the member States. To change this would (IIRC) require a new treaty, and the perceived loss of sovereignty would go down like a lead balloon with many of the governments - so that won't happen at least in the short term.

@lostgame: Out of interest, what device size are you running GB on?

"Under GDPR organizations in breach of GDPR can be fined up to 4% of annual global turnover or €20 Million (whichever is greater). This is the maximum fine that can be imposed for the most serious infringements e.g.not having sufficient customer consent to process data or violating the core of Privacy by Design concepts."

So that 20mil or 4% (whichever is greater) is for companies that have seriously violated the GDPR. It remains to be seen how it is enforced, but my understanding is that this is purposely designed to be very punitive to force companies to have a dollar amount in mind when it comes to designing security and doing the right thing.
What I meant is whether there is really that much of a bias against experienced direct applicants.

You seem to be using voter participation as the measure of the health of democracy. If you look at the rates of voter participation over the last 100 years or so there is no sign that democracy has diminished over that time. The rate has fluctuated quite a bit and recent participation rates although not the highest are far from the lowest over that time period. And rates don't seem to be on a consistent downward trend that will bring them near the lows.

If you want to know how prohibition happend just look at the low point for voter participation.

Not only did she pretend to be incredulous about NSA spying, she put forward the bill to excuse most of it after completely redirecting the conversation to "metadata." Now Ajit Pai made it a partisan issue she's having screaming about being pro net neutrality but a few years back she co-sponsored the PIPA bill!

Worst of all she's considered to be basically impossible to replace. It would be very nice to see CA stop giving her money and put a significant challenger forward but it's probably not good ROI to attempt.

It's great to see attention being drawn to responsible use of cloud services, which for most part have safe defaults. I absolutely support, responsible disclosure but it is always uncomfortable to see that security researchers (this particular team) goes beyond vulnerability discovery and handles the data directly. Who is responsible for safe disposal of the data they downloaded and analyzed ?
You missed the parent's point. The kind of identity he alludes to is not copiable with a "face-mark".

What the problem with being required to report your income from various government agencies around the world? It's not like that would ban governments from existing, surely some people will continue to voluntarily pay some taxes on the honor system.
Are you going to open-source it? My company was looking at Deis but then Microsoft killed the workflow project when they acquired it.
Yes, but the precise amount of taxes you should pay is not some moral principle. If the current tax laws were the “correct” amount, then the government passed a tax cut, are you morally obligated to keep paying the higher amount?
Ask HN: Should tech ban the use of gender/race features in ML?
As machine learning becomes more commonplace, I think it's important to consider the repercussions of including gender, sex, race, ethnicity, etc features in the training data. Many ML models have "greedy" optimization algorithms, resulting in models that may be eager to prioritize some features, like gender or race, over more nuanced combinations of features, like poverty, environment, etc. The resulting models could then be used as evidence to reinforce stereotypes about groups of people.

What can we do about this? The only solution I see is to explicitly ban the use of such features in models, to force ML researches to dig deeper into the datasets, and to prevent the resulting models from containing incendiary biases.
So heartbreaking! As a younger man, I have seen enough. Married people can say what they want about how they love their lives, but the risk is just overwhelming. I am sure Don Wheeler loved being married at some point as well.
It’d be one thing if the politicians pushing voter ID were also pushing hard on making it easy, but when you look at Alabama cutting off access to IDs st the same time they’re requiring them, it’s hard not to draw obvious conclusions about intent.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/alabama-drivers-licen...
>The USPS is nowhere near equipped to handle this. And there's no way I'd trust them to be competent enough to handle the task with the level of security that it would entail

Is that more market ideology ("public services are by necessity so dumb") speaking, or is there something specific with the US postal service?
That's irrelevant. They did have slaves, doesn't mean slavery was a good system.

IDs should be required but they should also be very easy to obtain. The government should go out of its way to make it as easy a possible. Being undocumented is not useful to any citizen, it creates an underclass. People should have IDs and we should care about voter fraud, whether its 1 vote or 1 million.

That the parties won't do this shows that both sides have something to gain by keeping things the way they are, they just want to win, regardless of the sanctity of the vote or the well-being of the people.
