The IRS does not treat people who willfully break the tax code lightly. This is called tax evasion. They treat situations of evasion differently than they treat differences in tax law interpretation.

If you interpret the tax law differently from the IRS and there is an actual ambiguity (no sovereign citizen BS), if you do end up owing the tax you will still need to pay it, plus interest owed.

If they prove that you evaded taxes, you need to pay the taxes, interest, and heavy penalties. There is also potential for jail.

There are many lines that can be crossed and an accountant will help you navigate them. Tax avoidance is legal and encouraged. The IRS does not want you to pay taxes you do not owe. It may disagree with you at times, and there are avenues for resolving those disagreements. On the other hand, the IRS frowns down upon tax evasion and will hit hard.

Ask HN: Are you a hacker?
Although I am a designer, I identify with hackers. I am passionate about building things, but I am not good enough at development(still learning) to bring these designs to life. I am fascinated by hacker culture, and disappointed that there is not more of it at my university.

I am university student with experience in graphic design, and UI/UX looking for hackers to work on projects with. If you want to work with a designer on your next side project please reach out.
It's a practical point of view, not theory of society. It's great when companies put morals over profits, but they generally don't - companies don't gain much from being good and don't lose much from being evil; the impact is not big enough to offset the importance of being effective on the market. Companies that fail to be effective get outcompeted and die.
Not sure they would be allowed to apply, so that argument might be a little sophistic.
Very Affordable and moddable. I'm going to enjoy working on it when it arrives. Great find!
If my debts/rent/food were truly and reliably taken care of?

I would invest all my energy and anger, 25 hours/day, using every contact and connection I have, in an attempt to displace the current shitshow of "software engineering" with a true engineering society[1]. Or to put it in another way: I would not rest until the vast majority of HN readers are out of their job writing software. Too much is at stake.

I expect to get on this in 5~10 years either way: I sadly had to take a break from tilting at windmills when my debts crossed into 6 digits. Hopefully it is not too late by then.

It takes a lot of effort to learn not to resent accomplishments of people you’re “competing” with even if they’re friends and you’re not directly competing with them. It’s a learned behavior to feel good for them instead.

There’s probably a selected reason for this, but it’s possible to overcome it (or at least be aware of its affect).

It’s better to frame life success on something else - like what you want to learn or the type of person you want to be.

Youth Hostels are a pretty good solution I think. They're designed to be simple and cheap from the start, but further I think they're designed to be durable and low maintenance too. This means you can fairly sure of a basic level of quality. Unlike numerous B&Bs or run down hotels.

I stayed in two separate youth hostels in Switzerland. One was amazing, the other was basically a camp for American students with speakers to wake you up each morning.

Of course China can do what they want with their country. You're standing up a point I wasn't challenging in the least.

The issue is: China is barely an accessible market for even the most powerful and largest of international corporations. Their rules for domestic entities are dramatically different than the rules for foreign entities, which is an intentional effort to restrict foreign competition and access to their economy. China wants to have its cake and eat it too.

Developed economies will increasingly shut down China's access in the same manner as China does, ending China's free ride. That process is already well underway with the US and Western Europe, as both have begun blocking China's ability to acquire local companies and technology. China will find it increasingly difficult to sell higher value products into the US and Western Europe (by far the two wealthiest economic regions on earth), restricting potential economic expansion for China.

could work less, and still live a very very comfortable life. Yet we don't. There is nothing illogical about working an extra hour every day when the reward is tangible (as in your example). For me however the difference between working 6 hours and 8 every day is very small in terms of reward and enormous in terms of well being.
You're presenting a false dichotomy.

Google would have lost to Baidu regardless and don't think for a second this wasn't factored in their decision.

The Chinese are known for degrading the online experience of western services in preference for local alternatives. This coupled with the fact that Baidu really is better for the Chinese market, just how Yandex has been better for the Russian market.

My work is very relevant here.

I'm a graffiti artist and a programmer. I started using machine learning techniques to augment street art with various nature landscapes (drone images, rolling hills, etc).

By using simple techniques, such as Style Transfer, I have been able to create some interesting images that are aesthetically pleasing, but unusual. I took the digital results and painted the contents on large canvases.

I recently invested in some GPUs and a new deep learning rig. Im planning on exploring what unique results I can make around graffiti LETTERS, which are interesting in themselves.

Independently from this, IPv6 doesn't really work in AWS VPC. For example, ELB / ALB breaks under IPv6 endpoints. A lot of VPC services aren't available on IPv6.

Honestly you don't even need some kind of fancy google architecture, query engine, or columnar data store.

I recently implemented 99% of what mixpanel provides using S3 and lambda. I stored the events on S3 (actually get requests to an S3 bucket with logging turned on and what I wanted to track seeialized as JSON in the query string of the request.

From here it's as easy as writing lambda functions to process the logs and output the results in some location where a static web app can visualize them.

Why to have nullptr dereferencing? Why to have an undefined behavior on option<> dereferencing? Why to have dangling refs? Why not to check borrow possibility statically? God, we don't event have a decent and safe variant (sum) type in c++. Adding all that (unnecessary) complexity c++ has (how many whatever-values and initializations does it have?). It is unsafe as hell, and lots of stuff could be made safer trivially in a new language (say, rust or F*).

As a former RPL programmer out of self interest, I think I’d rather gouge my eyes out now. It’s one of those languages, like Perl, where you come back to a project later and can’t understand any of it or remember how to write it.

IMHO it’s less about Skylake being special and more about the previous generations having fairly small improvements over their predecessors.

Broadwell was never a huge leap for general purpose server performance. At least it didn’t get perceived as such. It seemed to concentrate on being good at the low power end to compete with ARM and more virtualization features iirc.

For some, rather like phones these days: they’re good enough not to need a refresh as often as they might have been.

For others Skylake is the first real jump / change in performance (the cache hierarchy and core interconnect topology changes are particularly interesting to me).

For yet others, they delayed refreshing for longer than they used to: “we might as well wait until the next release now”. And once Skylake was out in all its thousand-different-sku glory they bought it.

There's so much to do!

Set up businesses:

+ Wireless charging at distances of 2-3 meter. This will start a revolution of chip-based things for real. The main obstacle now is that no one wants to charge these all the time.

+ Artificial meat. It has the potential to reduce animal suffering tremendously.

+ Aquafarming. Create robotic infrastructure at sea that autonomously harvest algae. The 3D space potentially grows many more crops than on land.

+ 3D farming on land. If we don't rely on green houses and normal land we are much more resilient against the sun going dark by supervulcanos or comet impacts. I also think we should keep fossil fuels as a backup plan for those dark days.

+ Combine road, solar, and shadow infrastructure in North Africa. Tap the sun in such way that it benefits the continent.

Legislation plans:

+ Organizing UAV airlanes above roads. By licensing these to private companies the government can get a lot of money as with the 4G auctions. Plus, we finally can get to autonomous flying in logistics.

Write books

+ One popular science on tech. One attempt of literature.

I am from India and people always look at China and say "look at how that country progressed". I always cringe at that statement. A country is not judged by how well it treats it citizens during the fun times, it is during the unrest that their treatment matters.

I'd rather prefer a cycle than the 400kmph trains Chinese have but I want the freedom of speech I get in India. (of course 2014-current we don't have much freedom of speech, but this is a democracy and will always stay a democracy.)

I'm still intrigued by the possibility of a more "elegant" solution to Fermat being out there. Wiles approach seems like brute forcing it by stitching together different proofs. It seems very implausible that Fermat actually had an actual solution, but it should be possible that one exists.

I guess the incentive to find it is much less now though when the theorem has been proved.
Upholding —not breaking— the law is their job. But either way, "my boss told me to" isn't a get out of jail free card.

China will not allow strong encryption without a backdoor. If that happens the iPhone will be banned.
> But until the iPhone utterly reconfigured the mobile market, the US was a mobile backwater. I really think the cost structure and lack of competition was the reason.

The iPhone and T-Mobile, acting as separate forces on the market, definitely completely alterted the US mobile market. T-Mobile deserves an extraordinary amount of credit for hanging in there, losing a lot of money for a long time, and slowly delivering a more competitive market. It's great to see them getting rewarded with growth and nice profits.

You seem to be reading a lot into some very innocuous responses.

I read jpatokal's response as simple addressing your point that the original author didn't make his point. There was no explicit criticism in the post. Several of us now have tried to point out that we didn't detect any implicit criticism either, but you've take all of these very friendly responses as further attacks.

The induction of logic programs in Prolog from examples was done by Ehud Shapiro's "Model Inference System" described in his PhD thesis, "Algorithmic Programming Debugging" (https://www.amazon.com/Algorithmic-Program-Debugging-Disting...), in 1982.

Wow, that does make my blood boil. Is there any indication as to whether that assessment is still accurate, given that the book is from 2001?

It's correct, texting in the US exploded with the modern smartphone. A four fold increase from 2007 to 2011. That said, it's not easy to separate out how much of that was the smartphone vs competitive pressure on text messaging costs and package inclusion of lots of texts / unlimited. The iPhone forced a leap in focusing on bandwidth as the new new thing for profitability as a carrier (so they more willingly gave up texting as a profit center).

By contrast, the UK sent about 1/2 as many text messages as the US in 2004, while having 1/5 the population. A sizable difference for sure.
