You can't have a robust and clear taxation framework in a plutocracy, because government is owned by the rich and run for the benefit of the rich. And they're hardly likely to support legislation that forces them to pay more tax. (Even if some are, there will always be a powerful lobbying effort agains any such move.)

The economic and political rhetoric around "freedom", "taxation is bad because government is bad", and so on is a propaganda exercise. It isn't something that appeared spontaneously as a self-evident social truth.

The more time I spend finding out about the history of political though in the US, the more I realise that the dominant narrative is the language and thinking of the hyper-rich, generated and maintained entirely for their benefit.

"registered basically nowhere" != "moving its HQ to China"

Registration is a matter of paperwork. Incorporation is a legal fiction. IKEA is a Swedish company for all intents and purposes, except tax liability. Taxation isn't the essence of Swedishness.

If Apple did some legal magic and moved its company registration to Sweden (and paid any and all due taxes in Sweden), it still wouldn't make the iPhone a Swedish product (to the extend the iPhone claims a nationality, which is doesn't really, so it's not a great comparison).

> If it's legal (even through lobbying), then it is legal.

But it's not legal. At least in theory, in most of continental european law the spirit of the law stands above the letter of the law, and just because you found a technicality does not make it legal.

To be blunt, I have functional fingers and situational awareness. I actually hold on to my phone, and if I need to look at it, I don't stand around randomly in the middle of a path where people need to move through. If I don't think I can use my phone safely, I wait.

That probably sounds a little bit sanctimonious, but it's the truth.

I have broken exactly one phone in my entire phone-owning life (since 2002), I've had 6 phones during this time, 4 feature phones and 2 smartphones. So one accident in 16 years, and that was a Sony Ericsson Elm. It was actually what pushed me to finally get a smartphone, so maybe it was a net positive :-)
The difference between "many Americans" (actually other highly-taxed subjects are probably the same) and hideous unkillable corporate zombies like Ikea is that the little people use the tax laws as they are. The corporate monsters write the tax laws, to their own exclusive benefit, in every nation they invade. That's not an option for the little people.

A fantastic website that rekindled the spirit of my early web experience reading Suck, et. al. It published an uncanny number of unpublished writers that would create ballyhooed careers. More importantly, they, uniquely, published numerous people that would write one fantastic piece and didn’t chase a writing career (leaving everything out on the proverbial field).
And it's not even limited to land animals: salmon (fish in general), shrip, etc. farms rely on antibiotics to maximize animals per cubic meter.

I rarely eat meat and stopped eating Sushi because of this. It's very hard to find out where your food comes from in restaurants.
I would describe myself as a pragmatic libertarian; part of the reason for the adjective is that, yes, I acknowledge the need for regulation in cases like this.

I use facebook to keep up with events. I follow the feeds of organizations, not individuals (I hide almost all personal feeds). I follow SFJazz, symphony and opera, various music groups, theater companies, a few outdoors/ecology organizations. There are probably other ways to get this, and I'd prefer not to use facebook at all, but facebook provides a decent roundup.

This works pretty well for me. I can keep up on interesting things without being subjected to constant political sloganeering.

Sadly this shows literacy has nothing to do with critical thinking and where the most literate of us should yield a higher standard on consuming fake whatsapp forwards, this shows that it is not always the case. In Ancient times we also invented flying ( pushpak viman) and there is a Shiva temple buried under the Taj Mahal called Tejo Mahalaya? Somewhere in India if we dig deep, we will find fossilized versions of a prehistoric TV set complete with Netflix? Why did they not invent a device to erase all corruption and build some good infrastructure is what boggles my mind.

I happen to have a small recording studio. I just looked up specs, my speakers will do 40khz, but my mics cut out past 20khz. I'd imagine even if I had a mic that could pick it up, audio drivers might also cut it out.
It's not only relevant what the sums involved are. It is very relevant whether laws are broken, and how clear the lawbreaking is.

Thus you can have large sums involved, but may find out that law wasn't broken, so there is no conviction. This is as it should be.
Also tangentially relevant: In amateur radio, soundcard "A"FSK (A for audio) is super popular. The most popular are the time-synchronous WSJT-X modes (JT65, JT9, FT8, etc). It's super fascinating from a technical robustness point of view, especially the FT8 mode. The program is authored by a Nobel laureate in physics, and a very active radio ham, K1JT.

Tune to any of the FT8 frequencies on http://www.qsl.net/sv1grb/psk31.htm using almost any receiver on http://websdr.org/ - 20m in the daytime, and 40m during evenings is usually full of activity.

Obviously. My point is that if you just saw a picture of that house your first thought wouldn't be "Wow, I bet one of the richest people in world lives there". Compare to for example this house: http://luxurylaunches.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Le-Belv... which would be expensive basically no matter where in the world you where.

And even with it's perfect location it's apparently still 'only' a ~4 million eur. house. It's not even one of the 10 most expensive houses in town. Hell there are 10 more expensive houses for sale around there on homegate.ch right now.

I wouldn't presume to question Nicholas Kristof's awareness of world and humanitarian affairs, given that his career is so focused on it. And I applaud what I perceive to be his intent, to remind all the folks (mostly east coast media folks) that there is a world beyond Trump's tweets, and that it is not all crisis.

But I'm unclear how he can say 2017 is the best year in human history. Is it merely an argument of numbers? That since hundreds of thousands more people every day have electricity and water, that the net amount of suffering has surely decreased?

To put it another way, what kind of disaster would have to happen in 2017 for us to say that 2017 was worse than 2016? According to his numbers, nearly 100 million people get access to water and electricity every year (300K per day). If we had got into a nuclear war that wiped out 1M people, could we still see stay that 2017 was, all things considered, a better year?

Last year, the UN said the Yemen/Africa crisis was the worst humanitarian crisis since WW2. That sounds like something that would disqualify 2017 from being considered as "probably the very best year in the long history of humanity." Unless it is the case that we had far fewer wars and crises elsewhere in 2017? Is that the case?

Next time I feel sick, I will eat non organic chicken to get some antibiotics.
From the article: "Caspi, generally not a forward man, looked over at Moffitt's poster and was dazzled by her science. 'You have the most beautiful data set.'"
Wikipedia mentions a life span of about 10 million years. If they slow down in a predictable way (exponentially?), navigation system could just calculate that in. And when some pulsars die out, new one have probably emerged in the meantime, allowing a smart-enough system to gradually switch sources.
There are 2 questions that are missing in the article.

- Who is producing and selling this antibiotics, in a scale of hundreds of tons?

- Is it produced in India or another country?
This article has more info: http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/a-game-of-chicken-how-...

Some highlights:

"In India, at least five animal pharmaceutical companies are openly advertising products containing colistin as growth promoters.

One of these companies, Venky’s, is also a major poultry producer. Apart from selling animal medicines and creating its own chicken meals, it supplies meat directly and indirectly to fast food chains in India such as KFC, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut and Domino’s."

"McDonald’s, KFC, Pizza Hut and Domino’s said the chicken they sourced from Venky’s is not raised on growth-promoting antibiotics and their suppliers follow their policies controlling their use of antibiotics.

McDonald’s has pledged to phase out the use of critically important antibiotics by 2018 for markets including the EU and the U.S. — with an extra year for phasing out colistin in Europe.

KFC has made a similar promise about its U.S. supply chains. They have promised to do the same in India, but without giving any timeframe.

Jubilant FoodWorks (which owns Domino’s) has set a date, of 2019, to start phasing out the drugs."

From Venky's wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_H_Group):

"In December 2010, the group launched Venky's Xprs, a fast food restaurant specializing in chicken. The first outlet opened in Pune, India."

Flight plans are essentially like driving directions, just a bit more involved. They don’t however include things like “I plan to do barrel rolls”, or “I’m going to fly inverted”, or “I’m going to bank beyond the limits of my air frame and possibly sheer off the wings”, the risky/stupid equivalent to what this guy did.
Regular GPS does this, too. It takes about 12 minutes to download the list of currently active satellites and their attributes. The data is part of the signal from the satellites.

Most GPS units do this in the background. But if you leave it unpowered for too long, it will need to update itself before it begins to work properly. The GPS in my dad's car used to have a flaky ROM, and it would show the car flying across the wilderness at over 400mph while it was updating.

Legal definitions are not important for discussing ethical implications?

This is a wildly unsubstantiated claim that you’re positing without any compelling argument behind it. What you’re saying is implicitly tantamount to saying a discussion of legislation is irrelevant in a discussion of ethics. Doing that literally dismisses entire schools of ethical philosophy.

You don’t have to agree with legal definitions a priori, just like you don’t need to agree with particular ethical arguments. But you absolutely need to consider them for a well reasoned discussion about ethics. The legal definitions are there precisely because of past ethical discussions - legislative arguments are, categorically, ethical arguments. In fact, you could define legislation as the implementation of an ethical specification.

They usually offer some kind of "pay links" or something similar.
The word "loophole" itself encodes a sort of prejudice into our language, much like the phrase "automobile accident" instead of the more neutral "automobile collision". If by "loophole" one means a legislative mistake that catches legislators and lobbyists by surprise with its unintended consequences, then it denotes something that has never actually existed. People work for hundreds of hours on legislative terms, and other people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to get those terms in front of the legislature for a vote. We need another word, that encapsulates the whole concept of a benefit that big business has created for itself via corruption.

In the US, I think there's a pretty strong First Amendment case against regulating the actual "engagement" mechanisms as the author suggests. That's assuming we could even come up with a sensible and effective set of regulations in the first place.

It also seems weird to me that the author describes how advertising has shaped this architecture, and then suggests that we tweak things at the browser and website level, leaving the advertisers alone. Shouldn't there also be a discussion about what ad networks are allowed to do in terms of the collection, retention, security, (de)anonymization, and sale of user data? How about punitive damages for networks that distribute ads with malware? Maybe if we didn't let that sector run wild, it would have less influence over website design.

Have to disagree. Laws may have something like an ethical base, but only as a nod to practicality - people have to believe in them. They are pragmatic to the core. Sure, there are ethical schools of pragmatism, and we surely include them in our ethical discussions (trolley car problems etc) but how the law lands on the trolley car is NOT any sort of arbiter of ethics?

The most important word in the title is "class". It only does this properly for JS code inside an explicit ES6 class, and, after some cursory testing, doesn't work too well if you bind things to the class at runtime/outside of the main class block.

VS code doesn't autocomplete "this" for "old-school" (function-provided "this" objects and manual prototype inheritance etc.) object-orientish JS; it doesn't compute it properly or at all for re-bound "this" (e.g. apply()/bind()).

Making autocompletion analysis work for non-straightforward non-ES6 OO javascript is a very hard (maybe impossible even without any "eval"ed code, though I'm not sure) thing to do, so this isn't a ding on VS code: any autocompletion is better than none.

That said, if the only way to get good OO-code autocompletion is to reduce the subset of the language/OO models usable to basically "what you could have in Java/C#", it might be a good opportunity to re-evaluate your choice of language. Transpilers for more easily-statically-analyzable languages do exist, after all.
