Not a lawyer, but my understanding is:

1. "can I gain the benefits of registering in Nevada for instance, while living in Illinois" - no. If you have an employee in a state, or work there, you have a legal nexus there. At minimum this means registering as "foreign" corporation. So it doesn't save you fees in Illinois.

2. As far as "client is in Georgia" - mostly you're not considered as having a nexus in Georgia. But California says "if you make more than 25% of revenue in California you have to pay some tax here" IIRC.

I don't like to criticise anyone's efforts, but yeah and honestly they look like stage makeup on a corpse. The whole thing's just 'off'. It's like a bad illusion, almost like it's trying to con me! I know that's not very logical but that's the gut reaction I have whenever I try to use it. There's probably some psychology in there it'd be interesting to study.
> Two, that by shipping drugs, drug companies are causing the epidemic. They may be profiting from it, they may support legislation to make it worse, but it doesn't take millions of pills to get hooked. This is a result of additiction, not a cause of it. You shut-off/slow-down the pill flow, you just create a bigger black market. Addiction is a natural result of using opiods to treat pain. It is not caused by too many pills.

When you make the medication you know how additictive it is. You have all the studies you published showing that it's mildly addictive. You have all the studies you didn't publish showing it's somewhat more addictive.

You also know what safe dosing levels are, and what the target audience is, and how many pills you predict to sell per capita in a region.

So when you see a small doctor's office ordering vast quantities you should be clued in that maybe they're not a good doctor, maybe they're a pill-mill.

Anecdotally it's a bit of an interesting statistic for me where after a particularly active day (or a day as a tourist) it's interesting to see how many steps were registered. I'm not doing it for fitness. It's no burden since it comes for free with just wearing my watch. I probably wouldn't do it if I didn't have a smart watch for other reasons.

On the other hand, my mother is a bit compulsive about her fitbit, though I see some real benefit. On days where she sees she's below her target, she opts to walk when she otherwise wouldn't or goes outside for a walk to make sure she meets the target. It's definitely causing her to be healthier than she otherwise would be.
> In Kotlin specifically, this is a shorthand for anonymous functions where, if you don’t specify an argument, one will automatically exist with the name it

I'm pretty sure Kotlin borrowed this idea from Groovy.
So did they compare the total number of steps in the 2 groups? Although the 3x 10 minutes only counted for 3,000 steps, the participants in that group could easily have walked 7,000 steps outside of that 30 minute window.

Also, do people really think walking 10k (or indeed n-k) steps is a substitute for intense exercise?
That's at least part of the theory behind basic income concepts: there's no fraud since everybody gets it, and you can get rid of the organisations in charge of validating & allocating.
I like LibreOffice but what made me switch back to MS was the compatibility problem. In particular in thr older version of LibreOffice thr fonts weren’t even compatible for me... I didn’t look back since going back, to save the overhead. FWIW, I did my thesis on LibreOffice but after that I switched away. Same happened to Thunderbird to Outlook, but mainly due to performance issue (handling tens of thousands of emails and searching through those emails), otherwise I would love to keep Thunderbird (its UI and functionality is just as good as Outlook by OSS standard).

MS isn’t perfect. It’s slow to open files, occasionally Outlook’s data file will corrupt or too large to be usable, then I have to delete the file and force Outlook download the emails again. I miss one license for life time model, instead of subscription.
Presumably because of the party involved. We are talking about the Microsoft here. Its like asking why people are trying to paint Roman Polanski as a pervert.

Wouldn't an approach not emphasizing the corporate lawyer be better? Something where say a media company can just pluck whatever images it wants out of a repository and the software will infer a blockchain hash out of the image or metadata and then bill them accordingly for usage. Make it completely simple to setup and run so pirating of images is actually harder to do.

A media company just needs to run the software on their systems and manage a subscription on usage. Probably some typical SaaS subscription models would work.

And the SaaS then gets the photographers paid. This doesn't need blockchain at all for the currency aspect, just to ensure proof of owner on the images. There are probably other ways to do that though.

The editorialised TL;DR

An experiment was set up for a TV show using a very small sample to achieve a particular outcome. Sure enough, said outcome was achieved.

I appreciate it's not intended to be science, it's a TV show. And I'm sure that there are likely to be actual studies that do actually show that the effect is real. I understand all that (though a link would have been nice, it is the internet after all).

But for some reason I find it bloody irritating. Don't know why. Maybe I'm not getting enough exercise.

>Because C++ compilers do not exist or produce worse code.

I am surprised this is still true in 2018. GCC and Clang on x86 with -fno-rtti and -fno-exceptions produce almost identical code for similar programs in C and C++.

If what you say is true, I suppose there aren't enough compiler devs paid to optimize C++ for those platforms.
You're not biased, but your life is surely less complex than it will be when you are in your 40s.

40 is also when many people who've always had high metabolism suddenly change and begin to gain weight.

While the article sort of points at 20-somethings as the Fitbit worshippers, it's not for them. It's for older adults who let life get out of control and are looking for some way to get back in shape. That's what I see on the streets, at least.

The problem isn't that they charge for it. It is that the MS Office suites ais proprietary software and uses proprietary file formats that are incompatible with anything else. Microsoft has used this to muscle out the competition and monopolize office software.
So a tragedy of the commons, like any other.

The best way to solve it would probably be to have all actors agree on some rules (no rocket bodies left in orbit etc) and some economic incentives such as "for every kg put in orbit you have to pay $X to a fund for the cleanup".

And just like with CO2, the countries responsible for the last 50 years of launches should prime this fund with money for past launches, because the countries that just started launching won't agree to the scheme otherwise.

So basically: US, EU and Russia pay billions to a fund in exchange for India and China agreeing to start paying for future launches.
I'd like to see Linux support, but it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't happen unfortunately.

> The Mac line may not be Apple’s biggest seller, but it’s not like it’s losing them money. It’s a huge revenue stream.

Totally, though one that's only getting smaller as a % of their revenue. At some point it might start to seem like a distraction.

I've seen companies drop profitable products before, even those that were a larger % of overall business than Mac is to Apple, so it's not clear that it won't happen. I hope it doesn't, but it might :)

It will be interesting to see what happens here. Could be an early warning sign of things to come.

Walking is a fine mental exercise, if one doesn't get bored with oneself and uses adequate shoes for the surface.

But - you can get an amazing workout by using those 30 mins doing something, anything much more intensive - interval runs, weight lifting, any group activities ala body pump etc. Tons of others more available but they require much more time. I never spend more than 30 mins doing weight lifting or running intervals (that's actually closer to 20mins).

You can't start high intensity from nothing, but you can do a gradual progress towards it. Benefits will be very visible and you will feel great.

Helps with depressions. Makes you stronger and live longer. Best time spent in your life.
RVs are not crash tested. Seat belt regulations vary by state, but in general, driver and passenger positions are required to wear seat belts.

RV construction varies quite a bit from truck chassis to motor coach conversions.

There are lots of accident scenarios, but when it comes to crashing with other vehicles, RVs do have mass on their side. Mine is 10 tons. Passenger cars don't scare me. I don't want to have a tire blowout. I don't want to roll it. I don't want to tangle with tractor trailers. These things would go poorly.

Obviously not all working class people are part of the same culture, but I think the very fact that the stereotype of "Chav" exists beyond merely being obnoxious (since there are obviously obnoxious people who we wouldn't consider "Chavs") suggests there is a cultural component.

And it's when you say including aspects like clothing that the idea starts to sound classist. How exactly does someone "dress like an arsehole"? Is their clothing somehow inherently offensive, or do you just dislike it because it doesn't fit your own aesthetics, and/or because you associate it with a negative type of person?
> Any amount of walking is good for you. The steps help certain personality types get it done, but isn't for everybody.

Yes, I think this is where either most recommendations go wrong, or possibly how people read those recommendations.

You probably strengthen some ligaments and a few muscles from walking, but I assume most of the benefit comes from slightly raising your V02max.

If the recommendation is walking, that filters out anyone who doesn't like walking.

If the recommendation is raising your V02max, that applies to anyone who can learn what that means, and then apply it to anything they can enjoy doing, whether that is to:

* drop your hat and pick it up from the floor 200 times a day, or

* take the stairs a few times and only use every other step, or

* put on a short playlist of your favorite songs to dance to when no one is watching

* etc

It's a difficult balance between recommending something that focuses at the heart of the issue, or using extremely lossy compression on your recommendation to distill it down to "do X Y times a day".

That’s one of the key factors. It depends on the how high the orbit of the satellite is. For ones in LEO

- below 350 km, months

- 400km a year

- 500km five years

- 600km ten years

- 700km twenty five years

Etc.

However, when a satellite breaks up, the small pieces are much more affected by drag. Another is effect is that an explosion results in approximately 50% of the pieces having a lower orbit. So even though the Cosmos-Irdium collision happened at 700km, which would take about twenty five years to deorbit, in just five years, more than a quarter of the debris had deorbited.
Probably not a big feature for most, but I work with URLs in the terminal a lot and ⌘+click to immediately open them in the browser is convenient.

That’s in large part because the costs of healthcare are crazy high, not the cost of insurance.

They are interrelated, yes. But fundamentally we are at a place where providers, especially hospitals, are billing insanely high rates for services compared to other countries.

Any user who learned to use office between 1990 and 2007 is well served by having a familiar interface. Now sure, there is a case that these user's comfort should be jettisoned for the future of the project. There is also a case that software projects (commercial and open source) regularly 'fix' things that aren't broken because they get bored.

Change is not user friendly; it breaks tutorials, it weakens the support network, it risks good ideas getting lost.

Don't get me wrong, if they do change things I'll probably support it, but if they stick to what worked for 20 years then we should support that too.
> why does C++ still support

Stop right there! There is plenty of evidence that removing features from a language is fatal to adoption. Both Perl and Python have suffered from this.

Specifically for trigraphs (apart from these, EBCDIC support doesn't affect compilers on other systems) IBM have a vote and they voted not to remove it: https://isocpp.org/files/papers/N4210.pdf
The only thing positive I can say is I MUCH rather have Redhat buy them than Oracle. I think Redhat has been a positive community member and well I will invoke the mom rule for Oracle.
I like the fact that the UI has stayed much the same.
Any reference ?
IIRC they did lose the final vote though, and trigraphs is one of the few features ever removed from C++.

> Beard is an expert on the history of the Roman Empire, and says that this is not a misrepresentation.

Her academic credentials are the very reason why she got criticized for what she said. Saying that the BBC school video is accurate is an extraordinary claim. And as a historian you might want to back that up with some evidence.

> She wrote a good article about it here:
> https://www.the-tls.co.uk/roman-britain-black-white/

In which she dwells on twitter bullying and provides zero evidence for her claims.
And I always thought the point wasn't necessarily 10k steps (you can set your goal to any number), but rather the tracking. Being aware that you aren't as active as you used to be might be all it takes to reverse the trend.

So if the journalist wants to ask if there's something better, I'd have to ask what the constraints are. You might be able to be active for even less time if you are willing to buy a ROM machine. Is that better?

IMHO, it's hard to beat counting steps because it's a pretty decent proxy for activity level for lots of people. The counters are cheap and walking is easy and fun, especially if you have a dog.
This is why it's still an exerimental feature, and the more testing and feedback the design community gets, the better!

The first time you use Secure Scuttlebutt will be boring because it will be an empty town, you will not have anything and you will not see anyone's feed either. The magic happens when you start following someone or you are at the same network as someone else your client start downloading the log of your friend and the log your friend have stored from their friends, and the feed is filled with information. You will even be able to view your social network offline and you will even be able to do comments in other peoples feeds and it will sync when you are online again.

Most likley you will not be on the same network as anyone else which means you will not be able to see anyone so the solution is to walk in to a pub where almost everyone in the town are

You will find a list of public pubs which can be used in Patchwork to access other feeds https://github.com/ssbc/scuttlebot/wiki/Pub-Servers

What the Pub solve is that you can download a bunch of peoples feed without they and their friends have to be online.

Embedded devs always care. Managed languages with non-deterministic GC will never be popular there.

What embedded devs end up needing are:

- ability to shove bits directly in and out of a particular memory address

- ability to write interrupt handlers with low and bounded latency (i.e. emit a different function pre/postamble)

- global mutable state
Great points and I fully agree.

The difference with cryptocurrencies, and the part I find particularly exciting, is this time the structure is independent of nation states. Conceptually this is a big leap forward. I do agree with "meet the new boss, same as the old boss", that is likely the scenario. But even incremental improvements in objective rule of law have improved the human condition, and if cryptocurrencies can improve this in the financial realm that is a good thing.

Also not to imply that the whole space isn't rife with scams and foolish ideas at the moment, nor to imply nation states aren't going to plant a boot firmly on the head of the entire program as that well could happen. Because at the end of the day it sits on a platform that is ultimately controlled by nation states.

> simplistic prosecution of defenseless women

I find that hard to believe, as women were abused on a much larger scale before, during and after the witch trials. Defenseless women make easy targets, but I find it hard to believe that any historian would consider that an explanation. Women are so marginalized from all positions of power and are completely at the mercy of their fathers, brothers or husbands, but let's try just a few for being witches to drive the point home!?
Evidence is important. The goal is to have improved health, not 10k steps. If you want more adherence to interventions you want to constantly review better evidence.

Collusion would require that the answer be known already.
