You're technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Most countries around the world have higher effective tax rates than the US, and this was true even before the tax cuts. (People who claim otherwise are citing flawed political studies that ignore how tax deductions and credits are actually used by companies, and the ultimate average corporate tax burden. Even in industries subject to high effective rates, like retail, they still pay lower effective tax rates than their Euro counterparts. If they're not, they need to hire better accountants.)

The US is also the premiere information disclosure haven in the world...as long as you're comfortable sharing your info with the US government. We require most other countries to share financial information with us but we don't return the favor.

But the fact of the matter is that the US is not an actual tax haven. We impose taxes and enforce tax collections. There are real tax havens, like the Isle of Man or the Cayman Islands, which don't have taxes and which have legal entity laws that promote tax-shelter holding companies.
Native and Electron apps have two advantages over web though. Fist one is, that they do have access to the file system. This makes a whole range of applications (like Git Kraken) possible. The other is that an application has an icon in the taskbar/dock. When somebody pings me on slack I know where to go to read it. When somebody calls me in hangouts, I have to go fishing for the tab or window with the site open.
No, they do not have to be bundled. The vendor of given software has to support it.

Vendor A, supporting system B with it's packaging system .xyz, makes deliverables available as a package .xyz. Everything is fine, stuff works as it should.

Vendor C, makes deliverable as a self-extracting installer, that happens to run on system B needs your permission/credentials to install that on your system. If you do that without any auditing, it's your problem, if it overwrites something. You did give the permission (you had to type in that password) and didn't insist on proper packaging.

Because the system provides the facility to achieve what you want; you just chose to override it. You own all the consequences of that.

If you want for a modern OS to enforce mandatory restriction on all installed software, modify your sudoers file to only allow to run rpm/yum or dpkg/apt. Because packages installed via these mean fulfil the conditions that you describe.

I read the article, and my takeaways were very different from yours. While each of us homes in on different aspects of the same article, I am wondering how you arrived at some of your conclusions. In particular:

1. Where does it say anything about the challenges that GM is trying to solve long term?

2. What about this release indicates that GM haven't set their sights higher?

If you have evidence to back your statements, please share. I don't have any insider GM knowledge, but from the outside looking in, this is a genius move by GM and the very essence of an MVP release. Rolling out with a limited set of capabilities that work as advertised is better to me (as a driver) than launching with a larger set of half-working features.

If GM can figure out a way to weave learning capabilities into their platform with their production cars providing training data for this feature, that will put them on the fast path to competing strongly in this market.

Sounds like you’re exactly the guest this was made for. Now someone can certify the washer and dryer exist and are functional before you arrive.

If it’s not a lot more, I’ll definitely consider using it to ensure a smooth check in and accurate amenities when I need them.
I have no idea if this new tier will actually result in a consistent curated list of places to stay. However, to the degree it does, I would absolutely consider using it to a greater degree than Airbnb today.
If there no fees then how does Robin Hood make money?

On the bid ask spread? Do you trade with Robin Hood as a counterpart rather than with other peers on an exchange?

The problem is that we don’t know whether our encryption is vulnerable to advanced attacks. Cryptographic hash functions actually have a useful lifespan based on the math and the cost of computing. The more time we spend analyzing the math, the more likely we are to find unexpected weaknesses.

Maybe, but I (selfishly) believe old dogs can learn new tricks. Leaving off the first sentence of your comment would convey the same meaning while keeping any well-earned crotchetiness hidden from view.
IPv4 and IPv6 are different underlying protocols that both carry services like HTTP. IPv4 is older, and uses what you likely think of as "standard" IP address (192.168.1.1). IPv6 uses longer hexadecimal addresses.

IPv4 is due to run out of possible addresses and has been this way for a long time. However this has been consistently avoided by NATing, essentially hiding multiple devices behind a single router.

IPv6 makes many more addresses available and solves this problem. However many data centers, online services, and even popular applications fail to correctly work nicely with IPv6 only users. Since the IPv4 exhaustion has been going on for a while, most developers don't consider it a concern when designing new services.
I already see that users are moving out of FaceBook. FakeBook is not delivering value it promised. Some my friends are banned by FB, some are just not using it anymore. I personally was hit by FB moderators because of comment with few first lines from well known poem («Katerina» by Shevchenko, circa 1838). Moderators deny that first, then stop responding, so they know that they are doing wrong and still doing that.

Moreover, I noticed that my comments with links to laws and court decisions on government sites were silently marked as spam and hidden by FB. Moderators are helped me once to fix that, then it happens again and again, and FB refuses to fix that.

I made backup accounts on G+ and local social networks just in case I will be banned again by FB for posting well known poems or links to laws. I see also that traffic is increased a bit on these sites.

I also looking for way to setup my own node of a federated social network, such as Mastodon or PeerTube, but they are too heavyweight.
However, there is a differnce. If I dont get a job offer becuase I dont fit a humans biases of what they want. I can go somewhere else with a human that has differnt biases. The problem is with AI is how many googles are there? We will liekly end up with a handful of companies that rate you. Suddenly it does not matter where you apply for a job. If you did one thing that ruins/lowers these ratings you may not get a job. The problem is only a handful of entities decide what good is. If everyone is using these systems and you fail to meet their definition of good person/hire you like may suddenly become difficult.

Where as before people would have decide that themselves even if its a shallow cursory judgement. At least people are makeing their own decisions instead of blindy following a number/evaluation with criteria they do not know.

OK, how does a first time visitor with a rental car get a sense of direction and distance without a map or driving directions from a local?

How do you reliably solve the beginner's mind problem for a self-driving computer?

Without a baseline input, the car will have to rely on the passengers to do back-seat driving which defeats the point of driverless.

Not really convinced by the last line:

>The current recommendations to reduce salt intake from 9-12 to 5-6 g/d will have a major effect on BP, but are not ideal. A further reduction to 3 g/d will have a greater effect and should become the long term target for population salt intake.

First, this latter recommendation is not tested by the study; second, lower BP is not always optimal, as anyone who's ever experienced a fall resulting from orthostatic hypotension can attest. It isn't obvious, but accidents are among the top 10 causes of death in older people, and falls comprise more than half:

Except life isn't sexually transmitted. There is no "receiver" of life in the sexual process.

Schwab does have a 6% minimum cash allocation which afaict they pay ~0.15% on. If you could have invested that at 10% nominal returns you're paying 0.591% in opportunity costs.
Because people are willing to externalize costs for short term personal benefit at the expense of making everything worse for everyone. The rationale in the moment goes something like "I've already stayed there, so leaving an honest review won't help me." And they just don't think about the logical consequences of that kind of behavior.

This is a great resources, but i'm forced to laugh at this bit:

> However, as of recently, the line between technology and politics has become extremely blurred.

> as of recently

We really, really need to require CS majors to take ethics classes. Everything you do as an engineer has an impact on the world around you. Everything. This is actually really good, because most of us are good people! But you can only escape "politics" by escaping people and you simply will never do that.

Is that really considered Linux at all? I would not say that Wine is Windows, for example.
It probably makes most sense in urban areas where a totally full truck can leave the local depot and fully unload in less than 15 miles. That's the case with my local UPS (in the greater NYC area). Electric vehicles are perfect for this scenario.

(This said I'm sure they'll have to have contingency plans for when the things run out of juice but that's probably the same plan they currently have for accidents or breakdowns)
More and more websites are getting rid of user comments on their websites. Just in the last couple of months the National Review and The Atlantic have got rid of comments.

In simple terms they couldn't keep up with comment moderation and were not able or willing to invest in enough moderators.

So I have to give credit to HN to having one of the most civil comment sections on the internet. What I like about HN is that the comments VERY RARELY descend into the inevitable political sniping that seems to happen almost everywhere else on the internet, even when discussing controversial topics like Trump, and even the percentage of snarky and dismissive comments is kept pretty low.

So, keep it up, dang and sctb!

I'm confused what you are trying to build here.

Every startup can be summarized in one sentence or company can be summarized in one sentence. For instance, linkedin is facebook for business users. Uber is peer to peer ride sharing. News.Ycombinator is reddit for tech oriented users.

Ratings are always going to be biased to some extent. If companies can game any marketing in general, it will be done. Tags are also biased as well, not everyone has the same definition and need for what a "table" is. A dining table, a standing desk, a computer table? 30"x30" or larger? Round or square? Real estate / renting /airBnB is going to be always driven by short summarized text / tabular data (square footage, cost/square foot,location) and interior/exterior images so the potential tenant can make their own decision.
This is the problem. WMDs take a lot of infrastructure and can be tested/inspected.

AIs can be built/modified by anyone in their basement. The genie can't be put back into the bottle. It's like trying to outlaw computer viruses and hoping that will work.

I don't have a solution :(
Thanks for the clarification. In this case, I don't see why anyone would ever hesitate to leave a negative review or feedback if they've had a bad time. The parent who claimed he always leaves a positive review regardless of the experience is just admitting to being part of the problem.

Dart has great client-side support for both mobile (Flutter) and web (compiles to JS, has many differently flavoured web frameworks, AngularDart being the most prominent one). The article talks about it in great detail, check it for yourself.

You can also run server/console programs, which is rather similar to Node. Compared to Node, it has better core infrastructure (isolates, zones), but fewer libraries (basic databases are covered though).

When somebody uploads a Dart package to pub.dartlang.org, the site will run analysis on the package and provides platform classification and quality metrics of the code. It will be running the same thing when its dependencies are updated, which will make sure that you can see an up-to-date analysis all the time.

The language is easy to learn. The core APIs provide a great sense of consistency and good support. For simple programs (which could include a simple SPA with both client and server side) you don't need to import any third-party dependency and get by with the SDK APIs, but there are libraries that help you along the way.

Unfortunately, most Dart developers I know are very busy getting stuff done, so you won't get much social media hype around it.
Robinhood makes money on it's "gold" service, which is $10/month. For that $10 they float you the cash to immediately reinvest cash after stock sales (rather than waiting 3 days) and they give you $2000 in margin. Really it's pretty genius. They figured out that transaction costs for exchanges are essentially free. With their gold service they are monetizing at least 6% profit margin, i.e. you can think of the $120 yearly as a cost of borrowing $2000, which would boil down to 6% interest rate. Since that money is secured by assets in your account, this is actually a really attractive rate for the risk profile, and, likely scenario, few people are constantly maxed out at $2000. So membership / margin lent is their total profit margin. I bet its well over 10%. Not bad.
I doubt robinhood is acting as a market maker (counterparty), I think they're just widening the spread to cover fees.
Yelling “logical fallacy” at people and then expressing your opinion isn’t as effective a rhetorical device as you seem to think.

Salt might be a contributing factor, albeit small, but there's an increasing tsunami of research pinning sugar, especially added sugar in the forms of table sugar and high fructose corn syrup, as the primary cause of hypertension, obesity, heart disease, and a huge host of other diseases.

This is a lengthy discussion between a health/fitness expert and Gary Taubes, author of “The Case Against Sugar”:
https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/podcast/nutrition-podcasts/...

After listening to that and reading some of the linked studies and articles, it seems obvious to me that sugar is orders of magnitude the highest candidate for heart-related disease and obesity. Just my conjecture though, happy to be proven wrong. In the meantime, I'm cutting down heavily on refined sugar and processed carbohydrates. I've never felt better. Same caloric intake, just different sources.
I work on the Linux KPTI/KAISER code (and work at Intel).

The high-level description, along with the set of hardware things that get mapped into both kernel/app page tables are basically identical. Creating that list of things was painful, at least for me while I was getting KAISER working. If I were in their position I definitely would have leveraged the list of things that we found in the Linux work. I hope they were able to do that.

Some minor differences in the implementations:
In Linux, we allocate the two top-level page tables next to each other so we can just flip a bit to switch, and in the OpenBSD commit they seem to be allocating them separately and then storing the two pointers in a per-cpu data structure. Both are fine ways to do it.

I don't see anything like the Linux "espfix" mechanism. Guess there isn't one.

The BTS/PEBS buffers seem missing. This hardware may just not be supported.
