Hey, those are mine! Those two issues (and this one: https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2018/02/11/zombie-processe...) are equally problematic with clang. Two of them were problems with Windows, and one was a flaw in a Microsoft system management component.

Luckily they are all mitigated, fixed, or being fixed, so my Chrome builds run much more smoothly now.

In general many things are better, but there's no rationale, for example, for US life expectancy lagging other modern nations (as well as dropping for the last couple of years).

In general the US expectancy is leaving the cluster of traditional first world nations and approaching the next cluster of more recent additions to the modern world.

Pensions aren't done out of kindness. Their original purpose is to allow a company to underpay its employees until the employees retire in a few decades. By that time, the original investors have long since cashed out. It's essentially a free loan to them.

Morality left the building a long time ago in American capitalism--few consider there to be any real moral duty that a company owes its workers. If it's not in the contract, you're a sucker.

It's something of a moot point when I'm really arguing NASA wouldn't exist to pay for launches without tax dollars, but the non-binding launch contracts were structured like a research subsidy with many of the payments being associated with hitting r&d milestones rather than with an obligation to actually render services, and encouragement to go and find other customers. Nothing unusual about that: it's the way the space industry works.

> If you have conveyance (a canoe or kayak, an atv, etc) then you can afford to bring much less dense (and usually better tasting) food.

Can confirm, many years ago went on a canoe trip on the Shenandoah for a week and we brought about 400lbs total food and equipment per 2 man canoe. We ate like kings, and mine and my boat-mate's canoe was the only one that didn't capsize on the trip (everyone had fully waterproof bags, so no one lost anything, it was just a matter of pride).
I prefer non-legislative way. Mobile OSes are already doing something towards this. Notification warning like "app X is using your GPS" - even though it's closed or even though your screen is off. Or only allowing GPS usage while the app is on your screen.

I don't think many people care though. And even if you disagree on that, I think it should be their right to sell their privacy for convenience if they want to.

Any app that asks for your location can and will track you. This is so lucrative that Foursquare pivoted the whole company around the concept of location data as a service (https://enterprise.foursquare.com/).

Fortunately, you just need to revoke the permission (or don't grant it in the first place) if you want to avoid being tracked. If you're concerned about this, I'd definitely suggest doing a quick check of the apps that track your location and disable the permission in the ones that you distrust.

afaik the ss7 exploits essentially involve a rogue carrier saying "hey verizon, your client 212-555-1234 is roaming on my network, plz send all his calls/texts to me". i don't think this attack applies to non-mobile providers because there's no roaming. and unlike the internet, there's no bgp-like system[1] for "announcing" phone numbers. it's all centralized, which should reduce your attack surface from every telecom in the world, to the originating telecom, whoever's in charge of the numbering database, and your carrier.

> That's pretty wishful (or perhaps naïve) thinking. A family member of mine literary hasn't spoken to me in over two decades because I told her I didn't believe in god when I was 12. She asked me out of nowhere, I said no, that was it, I was no longer to be in her life in any capacity. She also tries to meddle in my business telling other people I am not to be trusted because "you can only trust someone who fears god."

I'm afraid I'm tempted to dismiss this as anecdote. This is one personal experience. That seems quite personal. That seems far more family-related than church-related.

> Its been my experience that most people who are devout enough to go to church are exactly the "convert or leave" type. Church is a very tribal place.

Not around here. Feels weird to "defend" it, I can't even remember when I actually last attended a service.

> Not to mention that the type of people who want to spend their time doing church activities are people I find horrifically boring and have ZERO common ground with.

Can we agree on the fact this has nothing to do with the initial controversy that churches would be unwelcoming to atheists? This only describes atheists' (well, yours, but you seem to intend to represent a global viewpoint) likely aversion to churches.

One, companies can’t just pass on taxes like that. If they add a surcharge, that increases the price of the product, which reduces demand. You can’t pull yourself up by your bootstraps: you can’t increase your revenue by having the government add a tax to your product and kick it back to you, maybe unless you sell heroin or something. (But then you could just raise the price without the pretense and people would pay it.)

Two, AT&T is paying the tax, but the government is mostly kicking the subsidies back to small rural telcos and coops. Telcos with more urban footprints, like AT&T, subsidize telcos in high cost rural areas.

So calling CAF a subsidy to AT&T really makes no sense. It’s like saying Apple would love the government to slap a 5% tax on iPhones and kick the money to providers of low cost phones. Even if Apple could increase prices to compensate, and get some of those subsidies for the iPhone SE, it’d still be worse off than without the “subsidy.”

NYTimes has been such a liberal rag lately
Yeah... especially as it's apparently given to significantly more than 1% of children!
This sort of thing is only a matter of time and entirely reasonable and I'm not surprised at all that it's the EU rather than the US pushing this.

The idea that a US company can sell its IP to a foreign subsidiary and then pay "royalties" for use of the IP to reduce US taxable income (all blessed by the IRS) and then pay basically no taxes on this through Double Irish Dutch Sandwich is apparently all fine legally but conceptually, we have a government, a military, infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc) and so on... who exactly is going to pay for all that?

More broadly, we have an increasing class of stateless ultrawealthy who really don't pay taxes anywhere. There is any sort of justification for this. Governments waste money. Individuals can direct money to charities more effectively (while this might be true, it's still a net less "tax" paid in donations that would otherwise have gone to tax and tends to have a social climbing element that directs funds to "sexy" causes; no one is contributing money to repair Interstates in Wyoming).

It's all just a smokescreen for paying less money to the stable society and political system that makes your wealth even possible. Pay your goddamn taxes.

I expect to see a rule for multinationals come about that'll go something like this: if you earned X% of your total global revenue in our country then X% of your total global profit is taxable in our country. And if the EU is the one that brings this about then good for them.
I think it's because there is no apparent user facing feature that uses this data. In the future they may get parking related features, or deeper ride share integrations. But because they're not upfront with how they are using the data, and their are currently 0 user facing features it seems unwarranted.
still worth it
Just because we have not made progress in domestic surveillance does not mean we can't make progress in commercial data mining. It may be hypocritical to have one at the rate we do and legislate the other (though I don't think it necessarily is), but it's better to do that than to have both.
VAT applies only to end users in the EU (VAT is not sale/use tax, exactly). Business pays no VAT for transactions that have no end user.

Currently min VAT is 17% which is higher than corporate tax in quite a few member states.

The oneplus variant of android, oxygenOS, allows you disable location services granularly per application. They continued the granular permissions system from CyanogenMod.
Suppose you have a company with 2% profit margin that makes $20M a year in profit, paying 20% corporate profit tax, ending up with $16M after taxes. To make $20M in profit, you must generate $1B in revenue. Now suppose we introduce 2% revenue tax. This instantly wipes out your profit, so you increase their prices by 1.64% to make $1016.4M in revenue, which after 2% revenue tax results in $996M after tax income, and with your $980M costs they end up in exactly the same place profit wise as before.

Additionally, your competitors either were more efficient than you, and enjoyed higher profit margins, so they deserve to beat you in the market, or they just have to increase prices just like you do. Hardly an example of driving business out of the country, unless you are into protectionism, but then tariffs are a tool of choice.

I have always found the lack of inclusion of self-harming and self-sacrificing strategies as a fundamental limitation of game theory and similar analysis. If your intention is to consider every strategy, why wouldn't you consider the strategy of self-sacrifice? That opens many different possibilities, especially when considering changing populations and heterogenous populations. If considering something like the Cold War standoff, what would have been the consequence had the USSR exploded a nuclear weapon in one of their satellite states and claimed it was the work of the US or their allies? False attribution requires self-harm. False flag attacks require self-harm. Many strategies in the overall scheme of things require it, yet in most analysis it is wholly absent.

Edit: Okay, I figured it myself. Around $1850 Canadian, where I live. Still works out to $153 per month, which is almost exactly what I was spending on food during my frugal student days, about 3 years ago. I ate better than the pretty boring diet described here (though not by much) and I'm also quite a bit smaller than the human described in the question. Still, it's good to know that I couldn't have done much better than I did.

This was always part of the terms from day one. Shouldn't surprise anyone.

Also while not specifically noted in the terms, it should be assumed they'd track your location since it spells out that you can only miss/walk out of a movie (if I remember correctly) once a month.

The space that is enclosed by a unit sphere in dimension 1 is the interval (-1, 1). In physics this is measured in meters. This is referred to as length. The space enclosed by the unit sphere in dimension 2 is measured in meters squared. This is referred to as area. In dimension 3 we call it volume and measure it in meters cubed.

In dimensions 4 through infinity we quickly come to a problem. Do we come up with unique names to refer to amount of space enclosed by a unit sphere? Mathematicians have decided to just use the word volume. We rely on context to make it clear what the dimension is. Similarly we use the word n-sphere to refer to the collection of points in n-dimensional space that are exactly 1 unit from the origin.

Surface area of an n-sphere is used and studied.
I like to play "Will anyone smile and say, 'Hello!' back to me today?" whenever I'm out walking/cycling/running. The answer is more often than not, "Nope, no takers today."

This was my feeling too. I don't want to live in a world where everyone is expected to freely give away their data, but if I can do it voluntarily to get get a deal as good as MoviePass then that's a win/win to me. It's $15 for just -one- ticket in my area. MoviePass has been a game changer for me.
> You can have a look at hyperloop costs.

Yeah, the hyperloop paper that claimed low costs did so by a combination of sheer fantasy and not actually going anywhere near the city centers it was serving, and making the cost of transit connections to the city centers out of scope.

Of course , a lot of the cost of high speed rail is the urban part of the route necessary to actual serve the population centers it's supposed to connect.
One thing that is clever about MoviePass, is that in order to use their membership, one must have location services activated at least for a brief instant every time they are going to the movie. Indeed, you need to “check in” in the app when you’re within a 100 yard radius of the theater in order to be able to charge the ticket price to the MoviePass-provided payment card. Odds are, most people won’t want (or remember) to turn location services on and off every time they purchase a ticket.
Well, the government benefits from scarcely regulated data gatherers. While the law doesn't seem to matter these days, the government has long used the data of private companies which it can't legally collect.

>progressive company taxation

Currently companies manage to pay close to 0% (see Apple) tax rate. Progressive tax won't be enforceable with any creative accounting. Progressive tax works only as income tax (pretty much) as it is virtually impossible to hide and the 'creative accounting' at lower amounts is not cost effective.
I’m on my phone now so excuse sloppiness in my reply.

Also I’m the very opposite of a tax lawyer but my understanding is that
the salesman’s added value is determined by transfer pricing rules. It works as if he bought the good or service from the Californian developers at a certain price. The profit is then calculated in each country deducting local costs and taxed accordingly in each country.

The tricky bit is in agreeing the transfer price but there are decades of complex internationally agreed rules to determine a price if the transfer isn’t at “arms length” - for example between related subsidiaries.

The picture is muddied by the weird US tax rule that allows companies to defer paying their US split of the corporation tax by keeping the cash out of the US. But the tax is due - this is why the US authorities were aghast at the EU’s Apple ruling. It was viewed as a European raid on money that was theirs (the US government’s) to tax.
Which isn't profitable. If you want MoviePass to exist, they need another source of revenue...
> The corporations whose large profits and zero taxes annoy people are the online giants.

Some large fraction of the academy haven't seen the movies. Winning over that fraction is massively important. Marketing has been one way, not mentioned in the article. They literally pay to advertise to advance Oscar winning prospects. If you haven't seen the movie but need to vote on it then following the prevailing zeitgeist is a pretty common technique, rotten tomatoes strongly influences that zeitgeist, probably more strongly than the advertising and pr campaigns.

The real problem is most members voting clearly haven't seen the films and aren't voting their own opinion. If you can call anything of this utterly fatuous nature a problem at all. It's impossible to be cynical enough about Hollywood...
