As mentioned in my other comment, 2009 Pontiac Vibe and 2013 Fiat 500. The Pontiac actually has manual windows, so I wouldn't be surprised if other corners were cut for simpler systems..

Interesting all of the minor variations between cars. Both cars (manual transmission) will also shut off cruise control if I even think about pressing the clutch, although rarely the Pontiac will forget to do that until the clutch is disengaged and the engine is revving high. :)

Lets say you make a 50% gain on btc. You have made money, but haven't realized the gain. You pay taxes when you realize a gain. You're argument is based on semantics, and not convincing.

At the end of the day, whether you traded BTC for DOGE or for IKEA couches, you were able to buy more of the second thing after you traded your BTC. You sold it. You realized your 50% gain.

Its farcicle to argue that by trading BTC for DOGE you're not realizing your gain. You're no longer tied to BTC, and your purchasing power increased at the time of the trade. Your wealth converted to USD went up. You sold your asset. You owe taxes.

> If I tell you I'll pay you 10000 dollars for the pocket lint in your pocket, did you just make a gain of 10k?

Yes. this is exactly how it works. you made a $10k profit. Its not a capital gain, but you made a profit and owe taxes. You dont owe them 10k, but you owe them part of it. If you then go and invest that 10k on physical capital in order to make more lint, then you can deduct that again as a business expense because you've essentially lost 10k on an investment (assuming 100% depreciation).

> The value of something is completely relative, speculative, and ever-changing.

This is why the thing that matters is when you realize your gain by selling the asset. It doesn't matter what you sold it for, you either realized a gain or a loss and that has tax implications.

Except for the fact that there is nothing stopping developers from using `unsafe`* to do bad things. And considering they have the tool, they will use it. In addition, it is unlikely that any significantly large system would be realistic to write in 100% Rust. There will be plenty unsafe dependencies that are unavoidable.

I can understand the case but this is just littered with perverse governance all over.

I didn't know there would be places where you could be assumed to request a mining permit? What's it to anyone else what you're doing with your computers? And why would you even tell anyone?

I wonder if the mining permit applies even if you have your own solar farm to run your machines? If not, then why call it a mining permit and not "permission to buy huge amounts of electricity"?

But also electricity should be neutral just as internet should be net-neutral. It should be so that you buy electricity and then do whatever you want with it. If this causes problems it's more than fair for the city or the power company to charge progressively as a function of usage until it doesn't make any economic sense to buy more. If each 10kWh costs more than the previous 10kWh it will set some natural limits and if someone still wants that electricity badly they would be paying enough so that the power company can buy that expensive power from other networks.

It seems to me that a lot of problems were solved backwards there.

I don't know if Google advocates horizontal movement to different orgs/teams specifically, or if its just anecdata I've picked up talking to Googlers and reading about their org structure, but I wonder if this and the promotional scheme of "launch and move on" has caused teams to splinter and lose serious velocity - becoming the direct cause to stuff like this.

It's fine to humiliate newcomers as long as you're fine making enemies. As a recent university grad, most people entering CS today are not geeks or nerds or whatever--they're more and more the high IQ people who just want to make money. These people have higher social skills and self-esteem then traditional geeks. The truth is that most programming done today is pretty easy and does not require deep technical skills, so these guys can really advance without problem anyway. Being an asshole means that you're 2-10 years out from people with better social skills than you and hate you advancing into management. At least that's how I read the current trends.
100% agree with this! I used Advent of Code this year to explore Common Lisp. If you have any programming experience it becomes a fun hunt of "ok, I need to loop over an array. How do I do that in X lang?".

What in my description of their lives is incorrect according to the book?

The culture you are referring to did so for 100.000 years because it couldn't consume enough of its surroundings for it to have to worry about anything.

We don't live in such a world and unless you can give me an alternative to growth that allows all the people who haven't gotten up to our standards of living then I am not sure what you are trying to get at.

Of course, our culture is also ignorant compared to the future that's not the point. The difference is that our culture is learning and evolving, their culture wasn't until they got out of their environment and started exploring the rest of the world.

I am not talking about past flourishing I am saying that the only way (I would welcome arguments for the opposites, the bushmen isn't one) for humans to keep flourishing is growing.
This doesn't look like shifting goalposts to me — it looks like you misunderstood where the goalposts were to begin with. Read the original comment charitably rather than with an eye for holes and I think you'll see that it wasn't about persistent malicious actors, just about what they see as sane defaults for people's relationship with your codebase. Once you're no longer associated with their private codebase, they think it makes sense for you to no longer have an official copy of it in your Github account.

There's nothing complicated about the comments here. So far they're merely awful: someone's death being used as an opportunity for people to air their grievances about that person.

Fucksake HN. You're being more classless than usual today.
If you don't mind, I have a question about Adrian that I've wondered about for a while. I first came across his name when I was researching the author of an old AOL hacking program known as Fate X. It was pretty popular on AOL at the time and was written by "Magus". In interviews around 2010, Adrian claimed he went by the handle Magus on AOL, and many people I talked to pointed to him when I was trying to track down the author. However, I later discovered the app was written by someone else. Did Adrian claim to have written Fate X? And did he ever go into detail about his AOL days? It may just be a coincidence that he used the same handle, but I always found this to be a little strange.

Supriyo Datta is a pretty top level semiconductor theory guy, so its a good chance theoretically this could work, but the place where tons of issues have come up over the years in using new materials is that they often lead to quality or defect issues in the manufacturing process that takes years to figure out.
That's a lofty goal, and probably impossible with the improvements they are suggesting. Just reducing speed (increasing congestion) and installing more traffic lights/crosswalks won't eliminate all traffic deaths.

To actually accomplish something like that you would need to radically redesign the city. Eliminate non-autonomous cars, build a really first class subway system (bus accidents are a thing!), go all-in on elevated walkways, invent some kind of really effective suicide counseling, etc...

That said, even if they "fail" and only eliminate 90% of the traffic fatalities/major injuries that's still a big win IMHO.

Everything could be argued to have two sides. There are still racists who argue that their view is legitimate, but that doesn't mean anyone is obligated to give it an airing.

I think Rogers was not polarizing because he delivered his views in a calm, measured and reasoned manner. Polarizing statements are ones deliberately calculated to reduce someone else's view or accusing the other side of something to advance your own views.

Sure, you can maintain state in a texture and iteratively re-apply the shader to it. The problem with HAM is that it potentially requires many iterations. Consider the worst case scenario of an input resulting in a single set color operation followed by width x height-1 modify operations. Not too bad for a simple stateful loop on the CPU, always keeping the last color in a register, but with a shader re-applied once per frame to 320x200 pixels you'd be waiting for ~20 minutes for the complete result at 60 fps.

Then there's the problem of selecting a useful base palette, if you want consistently decent results regardless of the input. That's maybe the kind of optimization problem that OpenCL can be applied to.

So I don't mean to say unsuitable as in impossible, just in the sense that it's exactly the kind of problem that the shader model wasn't designed to solve.
I think overpowered is the right word for office. When used it doesn't feel bloated or cluttered, it's the pinnacle of Desktop Computing UX.
The problem is multifactorial.

There have been studies looking at the relative retention rates of visual vs auditory stimuli where the visual typically comes out ahead:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2667065/
https://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/iusburj/artic...
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal....

However, I would posit that the main reason for this discrepancy is that memory is linked to the level of stimulation, and we typically have developed to place a far higher weighting on our visual systems, not to mention the fact that the visual signal typically has a far higher information content, linking to many existing mental structures.

Once these sort of links are removed, with the stimuli being decontextualized, the two tend to be more similar:
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00447078

The problem with audiobooks vs reading is far more constrained, and possibly environmentally determined.

One study found that visual vs auditory retention rates for a short block of text were virtually identical:
http://psycnet.apa.org/record/1978-21860-001

But another again shows the superiority of the visual system:
http://scholar.utc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1171&cont...

But this was done in a controlled environment where the subjects' full attention was focused on the audio. In such a case, it makes sense that retention rates would be comparable, as the same language centers in the brain are used for processing the input once it is transferred from the appropriate input sense.

The big problem with audiobook retention is that we typically listen to them whilst being involved in other tasks, and there are are a myriad of studies showing that humans are inherently extremely bad multi-taskers, with high task-switching costs even in people who claim to be otherwise.

Aside from just sitting with my eyes closed and listening, I find that retention is maximized with audiobooks when there is a split between System 1 and System 2 activity (ala Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman). If I am doing something like driving, using System 1, my System 2 can be fully focused on the audiobook, until something darts out in the middle of the road and then I end up having to rewind and re-listen to what I missed.

Profit or gain may be measured in USD, but a transaction does not need to include USD to generate a taxable gain.

The IRS has all sorts of rules involving barters, meaning trading one asset for another without USD being involved in the transaction at all. [1]

Say you buy a car for $10k, let it sit in your garage for 30 years and it now becomes a classic vintage worth $30k. If you go and trade that car for a new motorcycle worth $30k, the IRS requires you to record your $20k gain on the car when you make the trade for the motorcycle.

Where does it end? When you’ve paid the IRS the tax you owe, as per the law.

Regarding the pocket lint, if you tell me you’ll pay $10k for mine, I have no gain. When the sale happens, I recognize the $10k gain and pay the tax. This seems to be a pretty typical transaction for pocket lint or a truckload of butter.

This article (http://ktla.com/2017/04/03/l-a-traffic-deaths-rose-43-percen...) says there were 260 traffic fatalities in 2016 on LA's streets. From the street racing article it appears that roughly 11 of those were related to street racing? So 5% ?

You can't always raise objective facts and remain polite. I disagree.

Someone changing their name and identifying as the opposite sex after being arrested (the next day I think?) in a major political scandal makes that pertinent to the history of the situation. Hiding that by pretending the person always was identified as they currently are hides facts about the situation -- are they pertinent, maybe not to the primary issue, but the contemporaneous nature suggests something of interest (in social history if nothing else).
They both involve the same activity--operating a motor vehicle in a city environment. Besides, the original comparison was between transportation and street racing!
