> Sounds like you are not open to discussing this.

Should I be open to discussing everything? Why? Personally, as long as this Congress is in session I think we should block every single new legislative idea because I can't trust it to do anything right.

> What I don't understand is how many of those same people are fine with allowing Congress to screw us all over on important issues like healthcare and taxation...

I don't either. Which is why I think they will manage to mismanage this. Remember, getting health care dot gov up and running took heroic efforts of a lot of people. Just something simple as getting a dot gov website (department of education to be exact) took years. The Path station at World Trade Center was 100% over budget at FOUR BILLION DOLLARS. Nobody cares. It isn't my problem, right? We talk about net neutrality and how we gave over $400B to telecoms to deploy fiber across the nation (which to their credit, they did but what about the last mile?). And about health care, I am sorry but Obamacare doesn't even go far enough to call it an achievement. Apparently, even Germany spends less (as a portion of its GDP) on healthcare than we do. This is insane. The main point of the matter is costs have to come down. People get mad when I say while minimum wages should go up, wages and salaries in general should come down. Credits and deductions should go away when it comes to taxes. Yet, the people who want a "simplified" tax code get up in arms when they can't deduct their house or their car from their income... Why can't I deduct my rent? Why can't I deduct my cost of commute? Why should I? There is no rhyme or reason when it comes to taxes. It seems like it is just about who can push their way through...
Sea water also has plenty of magnesium. It's the scandium in the electrolyte that is likely to be the limiting resource, unless they can find another electrolyte.

Tuition is part of the compensation graduate assistants receive for working for the university.

There's no reason universities should receive special treatment here. They should pay their employees enough to live on, after taxes, like all other employers, and the fringe benefit of free tuition should be taxed like other fringe benefits.
The cost of the id itself is only part of the real cost. There's transportation expenses, taking time off work to go, in some cases it is expensive to get the documents necessary to even get an ID like a birth certificate
In Windows software signing, the notBefore/notAfter specifies when the app has to be signed. If the certificate (or issuing certificate?) has a certain magic flag, which most do, the signature will be valid forever as long as it was made within the validity window.

To know whether the signature is made within the validity window (or at least, not backdated), a countersignature from a timestamping service is added. If the countersignature or the flag in the cert is missing, an expiring cert will prevent the application from starting (Mumble had that problem), but if both are present, the signature is valid forever.

No idea if OSX handles it the same way, but it would make sense if they did.
While the root of the problem is not the companies' action (they do what is logical for their own benefits), this is very good to raise public awareness.

This could be seen as a negative externality, because it has a very negative impact on the economy of the countries they're operating in. They're basically sucking money out of the country without contributing back what they should
Your correct it should be, as should all legal posts. In the UK the acting returning officer oversees th election in his/her constituency and they are often non voting (by tradition) civil servants as are the actual poling place staff.

There also a ban on any election material within a certain distance of a poling place though blank colours are allowed for poll watchers.

We can solve this problem by requiring lenders to be responsible for the debt they issue. Their word against mine? Debt is invalid.
In addition to all of that, my personal experience has been the following:

Setting: 2016 US Election

- Everybody is screaming in my ear all day every day "YOUR VOTE COUNTS, GET IN THERE AND VOTE"
- Tons of people go to vote
- The candidate with the lesser number of votes wins the election

And that's why I don't care to vote anymore. I don't know enough about politics, social sciences, or whatever the fuck else gobbledygook to take a stance on whether or not this result makes sense.

All I know is, simply put, my vote feels worth nothing and so I now deafen myself to politics as much as possible. Much more worthwhile to focus energy on building businesses and making money that I can donate to charity rather than wasting away in my armchair yelping about politics proven to be outside my control.

No one is confused about what the word "consultant" means; you don't need to explain it.

Your narrative (and Uber's) is that all Uber has to do to abdicate all the responsibilities that society previously demanded from a cab company is declare that they will make their drivers consultants. Obviously Uber drivers as they are now are consultants, but it's far from clear that this is beneficial for riders, drivers, society as a whole, or anyone other than Uber. I am unconvinced that we should accept Uber's narrative and allow them to make their drivers consultants.
Elixir with Phoenix is phenomenal. An absolute joy to use.

Elixir itself is an excellent language that leveraged the strengths of the Erlang VM, and Phoenix is like a massively improved, blazing fast and reliable version of Rails.
These people are protesting against the wrong entity. Apple followed the tax laws at the time, so they should protest against their government for creating loopholes that can and always will be exploited by those with the resources to do so. Public companies have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to maximize profits, which includes taking advantage of any and all available strategies to reduce their tax burden.
Congress makes the laws that allow corporations to operate nationally. It can be argued that Congress has abridged the freedoms of speech, the press, and assembly by creating the environment in which private entities own everything that resembles a modern public venue.
Sounds like a great research project. Let me know what you find.
That does not explain stats for European countries with good free public schools.

I did not meant money so much through. More like, overall lifestyle and your ability to do things that are not children related. With one child, mom can have work she takes seriously and is important for her. She can be competitive there, if you will. With four, nope. Whether you value yourself as entrepreneur, passionate programmer, artist, reader of books, gamer, whatever, you are more or less ok with one-two childs. With four/three, you have to forget about that other identity of yours. Forever.

Have you ever derived confidence or was praised for being good at something or achieving something? One more child may mean good bye to all that.

Moreover, 1970 had poor people too. There was less gap between poor and rich, but it existed. Poor people still exist. Taking about past families as of 1960-1970 usa affluent upper middle class were historical norm is weird. I have noticed tendency to take richest parts of society as the norm, ignoring majority of population for most historical periods.

Imo, a lot of effort and money into childrasing is consequence of widening gap between classes of people. If the difference between bad school and good school did not meant so much for future life, the good school districts would not be so expensive. That is zero sum competition and it does not matter how many incomes you have. You simply need more then competitors.
Isn't it time we criminalize any kind of data leaks by a company? This has to be seriously discussed now. That is the only way we can make these companies keep data security at the top of their priority list.

Some operating systems use a "fake" MAC address when not associated and scanning for networks. In theory, this would prevent tracking when a user is not connected to the SSID.

With how much paperwork required and at what cost (time, money) to obtain? And, like Texas, are the places to obtain ID few and far between?

https://rewire.news/ablc/2014/10/16/well-actually-pretty-har...
I've never understood this sort of reasoning. Requiring an ID has nothing to do with race. It turns out that the percentage of people that have an ID varies by race - and this makes requiring an ID a form of racial disenfranchisement?

Requiring IDs and then denying IDs to a particular race would be racial disenfranchisement. Simply requiring an ID isn't.

And in the end, I think it makes a lot of sense for an ID to be required in order to place a vote.

Can't help notice that three of the four are tiny countries. And the fourth, Ireland, is not that big either.

I'm starting to thing that there might also be a geopolitic reason to become a tax heaven, not just an economic one, something along the line "Let's convince Amazon to book profits here, and there let's see who will dare mess with us, given that Amazon will be protected by USA"
I was just thinking the same thing while reading this article but, upon thinking about it, you'll likely have to ship the stdlib of whatever language you're targeting as well as your code (although I'm sure some interesting omissions of the stdlib can be automated determined based on the actual use). That's traditionally why Rust binaries are large (they statically compile in their standard library).

Statically compiling a simple hello world C program results in a 700+ KB executable. By researching And adding various options to gcc to reduce size, I was able to get the binary down to just under 650 KB (277 KB gzipped), so progress! :/

There are undoubtedly smaller libc implementations[1], but I think I've illustrated the problem adequately. Having an entire runtime in the browser gives JS a fairly large advantage as I see it, at least currently.

What's "L-calculus"? And what does "alternative formulations that rely not on the limit of the addition but on the limit of a multiplier" mean? Any resources?
While you're right, I think it's still a good thing, as apple is obviously on the border of legality (in fact, most of those tax evasion schemes are not proven legal). I read that they estimated that each technique they used had a 1/4 chance of being judged illegal in court.

Moreover, it raises awareness, and it is a good thing to blame publicly those society to help governments change the rules. If no one complains, why do anything?
Do we know if they removed the uterus during the same surgery as the c-section, or was it done later?
Name a society on earth were people would prefer to adopt rather than go to this option if it was available to them.

I don’t think this is an issue of the “American“ perspective or something like that.
Yes. In fact, much more surprised than in this case - I can at least see why would you want to have your baby grow inside you. Doing experimental surgery just so you can have fresh sperm seems absurd to me.
Right, it takes paperwork to verify identity, otherwise the ID would be worthless. I've also never met an adult that _doesn't_ have some form of photo ID.

I understand that it's important to protect our poor and all that, but requiring proof of citizenship to vote seems pretty important to me in our democracy, and is an incredibly low bar that nearly everyone is already capable of meeting.
Well, its more nuanced than that, and the answer to most ears would sound overly conspiratorial. The elite have done this on purpose, through many avenues but primarily through the education system. Civics are hardly a blurb in school anymore, so its no wonder people have an increasingly little sense of civic duty. What I base this assertion on though is controversial so I won't go into it unless specifically asked by someone with an open mind.

The same control of education as a tool to shape the common public mind was also exerted on media, which is why I say when people start arguing about Huxley and Orwell, that its a brave new world, until you resist... Then its 1984.

When you read my comments you have a set of assumptions that you have made about me. You cannot escape that. For one thing, you assume that I know English (which I do). Another thing you probably assume is that since I am on HN, I am a computer programmer. You assume that I know the word "transaction" since you use that word. You don't explain its meaning to me. Neither do you explain to me what a human is. You assume that I know what humans are. You assume that I am human, though you cannot see me. Assumptions are everywhere.

When we meet someone, we begin with a default set of assumptions about them and what they know. You cannot even communicate with a person without assuming something about their level of knowledge, of language, culture, and technology. The question is, whether these in-avoidable default assumptions should differ based on a person's race or gender or nationality. I believe that they should. If I come up to you, knowing that you're from the UK, and start talking to you about the post communist privatization process in the Czech Republic, without first explaining to you what it is, you are bound to be confused. I assume that you do not know about the privatization process.

That doesn't mean that I believe that citizens of the UK are fundamentally incapable of understanding the privatization process. If I ask you if you know about this process and you say you are an expert on post communist economics than my assumptions about your knowledge on the subject will quickly change. But for now, since I know nothing about you, it is safe for me to assume that you know nothing about privatization and that in order to be polite, I should not spend the next 30 minutes talking about the current value of privatization coupons without ever asking if you know what the hell I'm talking about.

But when the basis for my assumption of shared knowledge is gender, this leaves an interesting question. If I know that most women who I meet in technical contexts are not computer programmers should I immediately assume that they are computer programmers and start talking about in depth concepts or should I ask first? Is it more rude to assume that my conversation partner understands what I am talking about or to assume that they do not understand? Especially when many newbies are so eager to show that they do understand, that they find themselves unwilling to say out-loud that they do not.
Are you suggesting that everyone in the world concentrate on one problem at a time?

Most people in the world aren't solving problems anyway, other than getting money from other people's wallets into their own.

Having a revenue-neutral carbon tax (or cap-and-trade) has been the environmentalist left’s primary goal this whole time.

When Washington state tried to do that, most environmentalist groups opposed it because it returned the revenue to taxpayers rather than spending it on their pet projects: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/09112016/washington-state.... (Yes, most Republicans also opposed it, and they're wrong).

If you were going to criticize the left for rejecting basic science, the whole “nature vs. nurture” controversy would be a much better example.

> Given how local governments are set up they have the raw power to do what they are doing. But the rest of us don't have to pretend it is okay.

What's to pretend? Local governments have a responsibility to their residents. Granted, that doesn't give them free reign to hurt non-residents, but they can't simply ignore the concerns of those who fund them and elected them into office.

I say this as someone who has been negatively impacted by the restrictive zoning in the bay area. It would benefit me personally more if they allowed more dense housing.

> it's exercising naked political power to take property rights from people that bought them simply because they want to and they have the votes.

Who's property right's are being revoked, the real estate developers? Again, what's the difference between that and the gold mine? The gold mine is a good thing. It provides jobs, adds wealth to the economy, etc. And yet, a gold mine polluting a river increases health risks, mars the natural beauty, and decreases the property value for those living downstream. We expect the gold mine to help reduce or bear the cost to those they affect.

On the other hand, real estate developers who build lots of high-density living also increase health risks (traffic, pollution), mar the natural beauty (bulldozing trees, fields) and decrease the property value of those living nearby. You may argue that it's not to the same degree, and I would agree, but I think it's still the same kind of situation.

I’ve heard this discussed before the first of these procedures was successful.

Obviously a very interesting idea but for men (or people who were born men) the correct hormone issue is HUGE.

You’d have to give the correct amount of hormones at the correct time with those amounts changing every day (and possibly during the day). It’s an MASSIVE challenge and we may not even know what those correct dosages are right now. I mean has anyone ever done a record of the hormone levels for woman’s pregnancy for even two tests per day during the entire term?

And that’s assuming it static. If the correct hormone levels react to the way the baby is developing in someway (and I assume they must) then the challenge gets even greater.

The doctors on the podcast or in the article (I don’t remember where) seems to imply that what was done for this woman was basically trivial in comparison to making it possible for a man.
I don't think you see anyone on the left arguing the science behind nuclear power, I think you see a lot of them arguing against the policy.

Up here in WA state we're still having to deal with the fallout from Hanford that is causing serious problems 50+ years later.

Most of the arguments around GMOs are along a similar vein, we don't deny that the science behind it works. Just that it's very poor policy to have a single giant conglomerate control the majority of the food production in the US. Heck, I think GMOs targeting drought tolerant areas are awesome, but ones where they can enforce IP control over farmers is pretty abhorrent to me.

Saying that the left is ignoring science is a pretty disingenuous foundation of a position to take.

> Then stuff breaks down and people start caring again

As a scenario and extension to your theory, what if the period of people largely not caring results in an entirely different class of politician being more successful, where partisanship and political maneuvering are more useful than actually achieving useful change? When "stuff breaks down and people start caring again", what if those politicians aren't up to the job of actually fixing what's breaking?

I'm not sure that necessarily explains our current status, but it is a morbid line of thought.
The cost isn't actually the main barrier to availability of ID. It's mostly the timing. They're typically only available at a DMV office, which are only open 9-5 on weekdays (or similar hours). This means taking a day off work, which for many poor people would be a major expense. Most won't have any form of paid time off, so they lose at least the days wages. Not to mention how few DMVs there are in many regions, and the resulting transportation expenses (need to take an express bus to get there in in time to wait in line and get the ID before they close).
APFS too, with what seemed to be a smooth rollout.
