Best calculator ever. Except for the GX with it's 2(!) ROM slots in the back :) There's a iOS version as well.
I'm sure that is a common feeling. And it probably varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

But in the USA, just as coastal areas subsidize inland areas, typically urban areas within a state subsidize the rural areas. Definitely true of California counties, and I'd be very surprised if this wasn't true of any particular state.
Replacing shopping list was but one of the use cases given. I agree it's a ridiculous one, but there's plenty of actually useful applications for things interacting with RF that can be mass-produced cheaply.
Patent prior art right there.
KornShell – Moving forward
One issue at least in my own state that has eliminated many family farms is the inheritance tax rate judges the value of the land on its highest possible economic value of use. This means getting taxed on subdividing the entire property and developing it not taxed on the value of the land if kept as a farm. This lead to every generational change over of a family farm to generally have to halve the size of the farm and then have a new development of NIMBY's surrounding them steadily. The farm lobby in my state has been pushing a bill to base the inheritance tax on the farm value of the land if the land is kept in production as a working farm for 15 years following payment.

Not sure why you should feel that way. There is nothing wrong in trying to create a free clone of a popular software product. (There's also FreeDOS - a high-quality clone of MS-DOS.)
And also a the term "tegel-tax" (tile-tax) is introduced. The idea is to tax real estate based on the amount of non-permeable surface it has. More non-permeable surface resulting in a higher tax bill. Satellite & plane imaging combined with computational analysis would enable enforcement.
CUTLASS is a collection of CUDA C++ template abstractions for implementing high-performance matrix-multiplication (GEMM) at all levels and scales within CUDA. It incorporates strategies for hierarchical decomposition and data movement similar to those used to implement cuBLAS. CUTLASS decomposes these "moving parts" into reusable, modular software components abstracted by C++ template classes. These thread-wide, warp-wide, block-wide, and device-wide primitives can be specialized and tuned via custom tiling sizes, data types, and other algorithmic policy. The resulting flexibility simplifies their use as building blocks within custom kernels and applications.
> This scenario doesn't just happen with [just?] drug policy, but with practically any divisive policy discussion.

I agree with that. It has been very illuminating for me to watch how large groups of people get to consensus. Whether it is something like women wearing pants or if it is ok to smoke cigarettes in a restaurant. My interest has been that sometimes, when one is a part of a larger group, one might want the group to change to a new consensus.

As the article points out, there is a certain amount of collective pain that has to be experienced before you can motivate a critical mass of the group to switch to a new point of view. I wonder if the opioid crisis that is afflicting the US has inflicted that much pain yet.
> It seems as the node transaction weights grow, the double spend problem is solved (transaction nodes gain weight as others confirm). Arguably you could have bad actors confirming transactions but that is why the coordinator exists until there are enough transactions happening where a coordinated double-spend attack is not feasible.

What is the fundamental assumption that makes the paper assert that this problem will be solved in the future?

Is the assumption that hashing power will be spread more evenly among nodes? And, if so, what is the basis for assuming this? It's certainly not what we see with Bitcoin.

Is the case that the IOTA security model breaks down if hashing power is unevenly distributed?
I have this childhood memory of parking spaces made of concrete tiles with holes in them, with grass growing through the holes. Now I finally know what they're for :)
It seems to be the common understanding among many that a "write off" of a business expense like a laptop or something means you get that thing for free.

I wonder if this is the result of most people taking the standard deduction instead of itemizing at tax time.
An LLC doesn't pay corporate taxes. It just passes profits or losses to shareholders proportionally and are taxed at the individual level.

I am generally in favor of a smaller national government and my default position on a tax cut is positive until proven otherwise, yet I still understand how progressive tax structures work. I have many friends and associates who would be considered conservative even among other Republicans, and probably have inconceivably conservative viewpoints by most of HN's standards. And I don't think any of them would spend $150k just to keep $30k out of the government's hands. So yes I think if you're going to hurt yourself financially to make some token gesture toward the government that won't even show up on a budget spreadsheet because it's so small, that's either an extreme ideological viewpoint or you don't know how taxes work. "Never ascribe to malice" and all that.

And individual taxes aside, corporate taxes should absolutely be lower, they're among the highest in the world.

My main thing about source code and scientific papers is that it would just be so easy to release the source code along with the paper. Even if people don't reproduce work source code would often help to understand it as often I'm a little unclear on implementation details, which source code would be able to greatly clarify.
The router's probably pinging beacon frames out several times a second anyway. There's a lot of 2.4GHz traffic a passive listener could use.
The problem with that is that its only a $150,000 tractor until you drive it off the lot. I would be if the day after you bought it you are lucky if it is a $120,000 tractor.

Averseness to government is taxation is so engrained in some country it is almost genetic...and it leads to utterly bad thinking by individuals.
Doesn't it make more sense to buy insurance, if they want to forward the money to next year? Insurance is usually overpaying for future events, but if the cost is losing 30% to the IRS or 50% on stuff you don't need it might make sense.
I commented elsewhere about it, but I can't even see how they took that screenshot. Firefox 52 ESR crashes at startup for me, and Chrome refused to even install on ReactOS. Opera 12 is the only one I've got to work reliably-ish.

I assume the screenshot must be old versions of the browsers.
It was 30 years ago. Even if he had killed somebody 30 years ago and lived ever since without any serious incident I would consider it to have minor relevancy for someone's character today. From a legal perspective, sure there have to be consequences. But from a moral perspective, I respect it even higher when somebody was able to change the life to the better.
I am honestly not sure why this is getting down voted. The nest thermostat does continue to work as intended when offline. Of course you won't be able to use the app while you are away to control it.

Debian is available for POWER9.

This means you'll have at least KVM so you can run nearly anything on top of that including Windows VMs with PCI-passthrough for gaming,etc.

The cost is non-trivial but I've been working up my nerve to pull the trigger and go this route.

No, because LLCs have to close their books every year and distribute any profits or losses to their members. You can't keep an untaxed rainy day fund in them.

Edit: Yes, I meant distribute for taxation purposes (K1 form), not actually transfer the funds
> "Hey they should have sold the cell phone thats not a prerequisite to communication in 2017, their priorities are way too off for them to deserve any support"

Not to get too off topic here but during my college years I worked at a grocery store. I found it unbelievable how many times I had to listen to a customer complain about the cell phone that the customer who was in front of them had. "I just don't understand how they can afford a cell phone if they are on food stamps!"[0] "Uh cool, would you like plastic or paper?"

Keep in mind that a trac phone plan is less than $15 dollars a month and even cheaper if you are careful with it... but I wouldn't have dared tell the outraged customer that. It's always crazy to me how people think they can solve another persons life problems based on a 15 second observation.

[0] In Massachusetts the food stamp cards were/are a distinct blue color and easy to spot.
The Dutch east India company had standing armies and war ships. To say that modern companies are more powerfully merely because of population growth is a bit of a stretch.

How they came to an end is irrelevant to whether courts are effective referees unless you believe the only fair thing is to destroy large companies.
On Subaru’s they disable functionality related to Bluetooth pairing when you are driving . This would be a good solution for things like these.

On the other hand touch screens don’t let you have tactile or muscle memory which is probably a big part which would add to distractions . And your point about that these should be regulated I agree with .
The research relies on special hardware, but you don't. I wouldn't be surprised if you could tell whether your door was open or not just from signal strengths of external wifi signals.

Many rural areas in the US are heavily neglected; There are roads that haven't seen any upkeep in a decade and have police response times that are over an hour long. A lot of farmers feel that they pay into the system but get only a minuscule fraction back.
> In my college economics class, I was taught that money is fungible because there's no difference between one dollar and another dollar. Over the last five years as a VC, I've learned that that's not exactly true and that some dollars are much more valuable than others to a business.

I understand the author is trying to write creatively but such parallels only create confusion. Of course, money is fungible, no, some dollars are not much more valuable than others. If your dollars come attached to a condition or cost you money to get that is a different story.
Not only will it be a disastrously bad shopping experience, it will cause death and carnage.

This is exactly the kind of ridiculously crazy stuff they come up with with board rooms when the sycophants don't have enough balls to tell their leaders they are nuts.

It's good to be ambitious, this is just stupid.

Now - if they could make it so you could get your car filled up and 'pay with your car' i.e. no credit cards, buttons or transactions - that would be a great convenience, and surely people in colder countries would use it.

Fix the 'getting gas' paint point which is huge.
I think it's the result of them probably getting paid a salary out of their business, and the laptop being purchased in December or January makes no difference to their actual take home pay (assuming they're not distributing 100% of profit).

But that being said, a 15-30% discount because you used a different credit card to buy it is a pretty good incentive.
And wary of using options that might be outside typical usage (such as -INF for the backup VIP).
> Also, if your house happens to burn, you can be pretty sure the insurance companies will pin it on your uncertified DIY appliances.

This is one thing that's constantly on my mind when toying with long-lived electronics projects. Do we know of an actual precedent here?
I've said in other places in the thread that I believe that the big content companies (the ones who don't also own telcos) are trying to gain negotiating power over telcos/end-user ISPs in order to pay less for high-bandwidth use cases like video streaming. I don't believe for a nanosecond that this has anything to do with free speech, given the censorship track record from some of the biggest net neutrality supporters. I also don't buy the argument that end user ISPs will be able to charge extra for access to different content providers (although I think consumers will continue to gladly accept cheaper/zero rated content from some providers, in violation of net neutrality) - simply because while last mile competition isn't great, it does exist (especially in wireless), and there are enough regional ISPs to really put a dent in the big guys should they engage in a business practice like that.
It’s hard, but it’s not that hard. Understanding Ethereum is much easier than inventing it was. The hard part has been done you just have to understand code that’s already been written and proposals that have already been made.

Again, not easy, but it’s the bread and butter of your first year in grad school: reading and understanding existing work. Ambitious undergrads are often doing this work quite professionally.
It's interesting that movies put their stars'/creators' names everywhere, while many gamers only see that info on a credits screen after finishing a game. Is that because actors/producers/etc have such powerful unions?

I'd like games to be more like movies in this respect. I can imagine spending a lot of time browsing an IMDb for games....
Loot boxes are a similar level of gambling to opening a pack of magic cards or baseball cards, but for digital objects. Is there randomness? Yes. Does it affect the value of what you open? Yes. Is the primary purpose of the thing being bought the money itself? No. Loot boxes were essentially the main pitch for the Diablo I computer game but it was eventually stripped from the game.
Antidote: CRDT-based distributed database
Bitcoin mining is dominated by ASIC farms. You'd make more of a difference running a node for an ASIC-resistant coin. (Or by saving energy and not mining at all.)
Certainly, none of those people deserve to be taken advantage of like that.

But, for those who are willing to pay 150$ interest on a two-week 500$ loan, they've got even bigger problems. In a world where money is everything, people must learn how to use it. Basic Personal finance should be taught k-12 as a primary subject, it's far more important than anything else you could possibly learn.

I really LOVE your website. However, as a programmer, I listen to Classical during a) coding b) driving ; and for both of these activities, I already use CPR ( Colorado Public Radio)'s classical stream and it works great. So to me, I'd not use your website as much because I already have CPR. My two cents would be to do some market/consumer research to see if there are users who would use all the fantastic features above.
I still remember a HS teacher insisting that because she got a raise she took less money home. A friend of mine was the son of a CPA and all but called her a liar in the middle of class.
It's also easier to optimize business processes when there is some volume. Optimizing 10% of a $10 million process is real money where doing this with a $100k process is often not worth the effort.
> So this begs the question, if the per capita gun ownership in Switzerland is 1/4th what it is in the US, why is gun homicide 1/7th

Not every relationship has to be linear. Also there might be other factors. They might be easier to spot if you take away 3/4 of all guns in US.
This gets brought up a lot on Hacker News as if it's a bad thing. One, I doubt it's as universally true as people think (I'd wager that in Utah, say, an equal chunk of taxes comes from suburban as urban areas), and two, people who can't afford the cities need places to live and those who can need places to vacation and buy food.
Sounds like they could use the model that made Danish farmers rich in the 19th century: you get everybody together and buy seeds, etc through one company, then you divide any profit and loss on that company equally among everybody (so the company effective does not make any profit). The same thing can be done for a dairy processing system, meat plant or anywhere else that a large number of people need to buy and sell things that are similar.
This is not how the news industry works, at all. Have you ever worked in media?
That dimension is still on a thin film around a little ball floating in one of a great number of possible universes within a great number of possible rule systems. Compared to that space, we are quite similar to fish, in terms of the purposes for which our machinery functions.

But the question is not, "is intelligence explosion possible?" The question is, "explode into what?"
Except that viable alternatives to cars are few and far between. Some cities have great public transportation and some have nearly no public transportation. And, as it's likely to turn out, when autonomous driving is mainstream enough, I'd wager quite a bit on the pressure to outlaw human driving in metropolitan regions. Because, as you point out, vehicles are unsafe. They just also happen to be useful without viable alternatives for the time being.

The question I pose is, what are the primary uses for guns and their viable alternatives, if any?
What? They're unable to buy food after a bad season because of their stupid tax avoidance schemes, not in spite of it.
Master/slave describes the relationship between the services and has been standard terminology for decades. It's pretty "lame" to push established projects to make confusing terminology changes to address whatever words the "peanut gallery" is upset about this week. I have yet to hear of any IRL victims of slavery that are miffed by the use of this terminology.

Do not be offended on someone else's behalf.
What's the feeling about the other side of that, which is industry-specific subsidies?

While not on the same level as the US, Canada still provides significant farm subsidies, which comes from.. tax revenue!
If this is true there's a way we can block the effects...

Not true at all. An LLC passes through these things for tax purposes only. Each owner is taxed on their pro-rata share of the business’ income offset by its losses, but the business doesn’t have to distribute anything at all. It’s common to distribute at least enough to cover those taxes but it’s never normally required by state or federal law.

Edit: you can’t keep an untaxed rainy day fund, that’s true. If you keep cash in the business from one year and use it on expenses the following, you deduct those expenses for the year they occurred. If that incurs a net operating loss you can carry that loss backwards or forwards if you want.
Predatory loans can't really be solved with education, at least not a simple "personal finance" course. People don't get loans like that because they're dumb, they get loans like that because they're stuck and desperate:

Disney has a long-term outlook for their brands and business. Disney as an entity will almost certainly exist in 2117.
