The back story of the law may shed some light.

First, it's no secret that the intent is to prop up the business model of struggling publishers by getting internet platforms to pay them for spreading (links to/tiny snippets of) their content.

After a "link tax" law was introduced in Germany, some publishers decided to waive it. Google reacted by removing snippets from those who didn't in Google News, making their links less likely to be clicked on. Afraid of losing traffic, these publishers then granted Google a free license.

The government of Spain looked at this result and decided to implement the idea as an inalienable right, to make sure some publishers couldn't opt out, and Google would have to pay up. In response, Google shut down Google News altogether in Spain.

This is the version that the Parliament's chief negotiator now wants the EU to implement. He believes that Google (and Facebook and Twitter, which have been added as targets) wouldn't dare shut down a service across all of Europe.
Isn't most important where you're happy? From what I saw, plans to work a decade for a high salary and then do something you enjoy usually don't work out. As long as you earn enough to pay for everything you need (incl. hobbies and pension), comp should be secondary. It's more important to enjoy your work and the area you live in.

In the end, money is mostly relative. It doesn't matter if you don't earn $100k if hardly anyone makes that kind of money. In SV you will have trouble buying a house if you're on a $100k salary, in most parts of Europe that won't be an issue.

Recently we started using Slinkky https://www.slinkky.com . It makes organizing information for your team and company really simple. There's a 30 day trial for startups so there's no loss if it doesn't work out. You can collaborate on personal boards with coworkers and add team spaces for shared content. You can restrict permission by user so only admins and managers can add content to team boards.
$350 for two kids? I pay $350 a week for one kid to go to daycare. And that's in New Hampshire not in a city like Boston of SF.

And that's not counting food, clothing, and other necessary child expenses.

I'm always a little annoyed by that term. Island. It makes people think there's an actual barge of plastic the size of Texas somewhere. Like something you could stand on or crash into. In reality it's an area of much higher density of plastic the size of Texas. Which is still terrible. But it's not a floating garbage barge.

I'm honestly thinking about not settling down until I'm in my higher 30s and instead move where I'd get the best salary/company hop for raises and set aside a nice amount, then I can move back to the EU, think about committing to relationships and live with a salary lower than what I'd like

For the most part you'd live in a place like NYC or the Bay Area to come up with these kind of salaries. So let's assume you live in the Bay Area (California). New Federal income tax is 35% for that salary range then add 13% coming from beautiful and sunny California. We're at a 48 % tax rate. Let's round that up to 50% to simplify our maths. Congratulations - you are now making $150k/year! From 300 down to 150 just like that.

Housing in the Bay Area... rent is minimum $2500 for a 1 bedroom. If you want to buy that one bedroom instead, let's make it cheap and let's pretend it's only $800k for a 1 bedroom in San Francisco. You come up with 20% down ($160k) cash and get a mortgage for the remaining $640k. Assuming you've been eating potatoes for a few years to save $160k. We're looking at a monthly payment of about $3500 at today's rate. That's roughly $40k per year to live in a tiny 1 bdr. You are now down to $110k/year from $150k.

Property tax + home owner insurance + bills, etc. We're looking at %1 per year property tax so that's $8k then about $2k for home owner insurance we're now at $10k just to have the right to "own" a place. We're at $100k per year now without food, bills, etc. This is about $8300 net per month. You live in a 1bd apartment, you owe $600k to a bank, you work your butt off everyday and the only way for you to afford something bigger than bicycle is to either save money for a few months or to get a loan.

You're getting paid $300k/year you can't even buy a normal car. You have to get a loan. $8000 net per months is still a lot, but in today's life you ain't rich.
I watched the film but have not read the book yet. Is the book vastly different than the film?
That's crazy, my MORTGAGE is £455 a month, my factors are ~£160, then the rest of the bills is about ~£200-£300ish

So my living costs each month is around £900 ($1200)

I have a large apartment, living room is about 600sq feet and I have 2 big bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, gated entrace to the complex, a handy man, a concierge, my own private parking space as I'm in a big city...

$3700 a month is ludicrous. I'd want to live in a castle for that.
Having a huge mining pool is super lucrative.

Why would you want to mess with your underlying cryptocurrency and threaten your income if you're a mining pool?
>> We know for a fact that a foreign adversary is _attempting_ this

Yes, no one denied that. Its part of the equation, the russians are doing it yes, but so is everyone else (the US especially)... Im am pretty sure there are even assets in the services of Luxembourg, that have this task. It has been done in the past and will be done in the times to come. Disinfo campaigns are only a media topic right now, not because they are targeting the US (this has been done before), but because they are somewhat successful.

>> which is a hostile.action

Oh please, don't overreact. These campaigns are mean, divisive and unfair, but in the end they are -- in essence -- just words. Escalating them to a level of bellicosity is neither nessesary nor merited.

>> How successful they have been is incredibly difficult to measure, but that doesn't mean it's not a problem.

They are somewhat successful (not utterly of course), because there are wide fracture lines in the US society, that are not getting enough attention. If less people would feel disenfranchised and unrepresented -- left and right, native and immigrant, black and white -- These campaigns wouldn't be very effective.
They could put pressure on those countries to change. Economic sanctions, for example, do work to some degree.

It is illegal in the US to NOT pay taxes on illegal profits. That's how Al Capone was taken down - it's infinitely easier for the government to prove that you had income that was not declared than it is to prove that the income came from specific illegal activities a, b and c.
Hi "agent from Malaysia".

It is well known that "Correct The Record" has been influencing the discussions and votes. In the beginning it was easy to identify them, because they just copy-pasted political statements.
They were very active during the primary elections. In some subreddits we had discussions whether there were any people at all on reddit that were in support of H. That was how popular Bernie was, and partially still is on reddit.

There also military level manipulations going on directly from military bases, and also manipulations by some Israeli agencies. Also the UK has active agencies, but they seem more subtle.

And then we have manipulations by companies that want to support their product (or favourite politician). There are even click-farms that you can pay to work for you, and companies specialized in manipulating social media (as Correct the Record).

And we have groups that work together to get upvotes and downvote unwanted posts. We usually call this "brigading", and while it is forbidden, this is also very common on reddit.

In 24 hours you can see the upvotes switch between soccer and football. Each nation has its own favourites and opinions. And I think that this is a good thing. We as different nations learn to communicate with each other.

Compared to all the manipulating going on, the manipulations of "Russian bots" is not much. And as far I have seen the influence, it is really overhyped. Frankly, if you really want to destabilize the US, you can do that by letting the internal political corruption bring it to the ground.

By communicating on the other hand, besides all bots and trolls, we can learn to see problems and solutions of our and other nations. See many different sides of problems and politics. This can be beneficial to all nations.

I didn't expect Trump to win - I thought that people who were giving Hillary an 80% chance were not giving her enough credit.

So... yeah. 46% for is more surprising to me than 48% against.

I honestly expected closer to 60% against. My takeaway from election night was, "Oh, I really don't understand American demographics very well."
usually Chief Product Officer
Yes.

I'm a software developer in South Africa.

We work for usually around half of what our UK/US counterparts earn, despite being an exceptionally capable team out here, arguably more so than any other team worldwide. The same can be said for many other tech companies with teams out here (e.g. ask your friends who work at Amazon about their CPT office).

We have one of the highest income tax rates in the world for 'high income earners' (>42% for me, above the highest international average income, and receive absolutely no benefits (schooling, healthcare etc.) as a result, thanks to our government being rife with corruption.

We have one of the highest crime rates in the world. The cost of living of the city I live in is rapidly increasing, it's becoming unaffordable for all who are not in finance or software, or are willing to be senior in their jobs and live like college grads. We have a tumultuous economy and therefore an unstable currency, consequentially your purchasing power is virtually 0.

The highest salary I have ever seen in the field of software development/engineering in SA is USD80k p/a. I know that I will likely never make +USD100k p/a living in SA working as a software developer, and yet, getting a visa to move away is intensely difficult without a company willing to sponsor you.

And yet, for all this financial despair when compared to my peers worldwide, I climb a mountain every weekend. I feel the sunshine on my face almost every day of the year. I surf before work regularly.

I have it pretty darn good. Don't let this superficial financial insecurity govern your happiness :)
Even the $300k numbers here are 50%+ equity. That's a considerable risk. It worked over the past 10 years because tech stocks have outperformed everything else. If we see a true tech stock crash (50%+ correction), many of those $300k salaries are in reality closer to $200k (or less if you'll never be able to sell the stocks). I don't wish that to anyone but it's important to keep in mind that stock bonus is something very different from cash salary.

Same in California. Thicker plastic bags at Vons.

This kind of moral excoriation is not persuasive. You're claiming the moral authority to dictate which things people need, or whether an activity is permissible. You don't have that authority, none of us do, and that you feel passionately about the subject doesn't grant it to you.

Many people, especially artists, engineers, etc. work quite hard at producing such "trinkets" or their livelihoods depend on them. You're not going to persuade them by denigrating them or their work as mere consumerism.
I don't see how the TV series will avoid the same problem as the books: the Culture is virtually omnipotent. Threats aren't exciting because, there is not threat (certainly none to the Culture and, as it turns out, very little to individual meat bags either).

Are you saying this model is gonna take over real estate in a new way and that we will lose our biggest potential source of equity? Or that we have so much equity to bank on from our old records, tapes, and discs? Or that this a new thing and that people haven't been retiring and using cable, phone or disposable news/media since forever ago?
This is all true.

You can earn more in the US for doing the same job with the same hours and good benefits. Life in the US is better.

Asking for a friend...
Somewhat related: I've seen this problem exacerbated by the presence of "architects" who don't seem to have implemented running systems in a long time, and especially have no experience with running newer technologies; or limited experience which breaks at scale. Not saying this applies to all software architects, but I've seen this often enough.

e.g. I remember using a dedicated jenkins environment to run continuous, scheduled integration tests for my service. When the architect found out, he immediately sent me links to software packages that are dedicated to running continuous tests. I asked whether he had any experience running these new packages and if he would be willing to set it up/maintain it.... radio silence.
I think the math of going from $300k to $150k went by too quickly for me. Can you go over it in a little more detail?
The other day I noticed someone had deposited a disposable coffee cup in the compost bin. The top was a plastic lid. This plastic lid will wind up in an industrial composter, and degrade into a few largish chunks of plastic. This compost (with the plastic remains) will then be dumped on a farm field somewhere. It will then rain, and those plastic fragments will then wind up washing in to the ocean. The point of this story: if you genuinely care about having clean water and a clean food chain, put the right materials in the right waste bins.

I think the problem is that you can't announce that you wont enforce your right for some given content - it is inalienable. (IANAL) So, you can say "don't worry I wont enforce this" but nothing is stopping you then enforcing it. So nobody can feel legally in the clear to link your stuff.
It's definitely possible.

I've also learned that a lot of folks at Oracle don't make that much money, but like their teams, projects, and stability. Can't say I completely get it. It's definitely more chill than startup life, though.
I am curious what "thrown under the bus" is: getting fired (which some/many may consider an acceptable risk for a high salary position) or being blamed / framed by a company for a jail time; or something else?
The UK has had data protection laws for years, people aren't scared of GDPR because it finally provides laws, they're scared because they actually look enforceable.
I find the closing remarks around the banning of single-use plastic bags troubling - surely there are much more beneficial areas to target to reduce our overall use of plastic? Within each of these plastic bags full of supermarket groceries is likely anywhere from 5-20 other items caked in plastic packaging. How much of an impact is banning single use plastic bags, even globally, going to make really? Not saying that I'm against the banning of them, but shouldn't bans be extending much further across other products. The single-use plastic bag seems like such a low-hanging fruit, easy-win, that in my mind will make a negligible difference

> Would you spend two years of your life creating something with the knowledge that it can be freely stolen and resold by other people the day you release it?

That's the dream of the Free Software movement, n'est-ce pas?

When you release something without restriction, it brings the whole civilization forward.

The problem is monetizing the creation of the work, which doesn't have to be done by the business-model of restricting its usage. Indeed the latter seems like a violation of individual freedoms that I'm not sure should be allowed by legal contract.
Plus National Insurance which adds another 2%. But the average salary in the UK is around £30-35k so it's a problem mostly tech and financial workers have.
That's why I said "exceed by some multiple", not just "cover the expenses".
I'm categorically against shelling out for anything from a web based service. If you need this sort of functionality implement a queue, send a signal using some IPC process and wait until the job is done.

Exec'ing anything (even Postscript, which is after all a full fledged programming language) is a huge risk. Ensure that the input you receive is not malicious and if you can recompile any executables that will process hostile inputs to process only the subset of commands and functions that you think should be able to deal with untrusted input.

And of course you still have to properly sandbox those programs.
Right, the vocabularies were supposed to be reused as much as possible, but that doesn't require heavy hierarchies, just that they were available. A single record could have facts/relationships defined by any number of ontologies, so they didn't have to be all-encompassing either.

Also, I think there were ways to "map" different ontologies, thought I never really explored that.
You mean FOSS presumably, rather than OSS, a requirement to pay producers wouldn't end OSS. Even FOSS could continue, with a company paying the creator(s) and the public receiving the OSS for free. It would hamstring it though.

Your quote does a similar thing in saying "refusing remuneration" is "sharing a work without getting paid" they are notably different. If no-one offered payment you wouldn't need to refuse; the scope is quite different.

Legal discussion needs (frustratingly) exact language.
The skills or the money?
I agree. It makes sense.

This was probably not the best example given the context. None the less, without a clear and proven why any "cure" could be risky.
Live Stream Day 2: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg House Hearing on Data Protection
Did you calculate how much tax would be payable after e.g. 20 years? I guess it would be a very rare piece of work that anyone would be willing to pay the tax for longer than 20 years.
Why are you including state tax of 13% but not social security and medicare which is 7%? Also note that state tax is deductible so it feels more like 9%.
The first time I ever saw that you could do that was in a blog post about stringing at the end of the a series of pipes. I thought it was pretty neat (and actually used it a couple times), then had problems when I couldn't figure out why my code was messing up.

for example, this assigns a ggplot to 'plot':
df %>%
na.omit() %>%
ggplot(aes(x=x, y=y)) +
geom_line() -> plot

That is really confusing in that the way most people would read it is that it is something to be plotted. However, the assignment does occur and is masked. having 'plot <- df %>%' as the first line makes it clear that a new object is being created.

We actually had to modify our style guide to prevent the '->'
Nah, it just reverts to “you live in my house so do what I say” — the standard pseudo-‘libertarian’ justification for feudalism.
>> I take it you are not a parent. Or at least a parent of a more compliant child.

There are too many awful parents out there for me to believe having kids makes one uniquely qualified to make suggestions. Dismissing ideas with a variation on "you must not have kids" is a huge red flag. It's usually done by people who see kids as things to be controlled and made subservient instead of as adults in progress.

We were all kids once. We all had friends whose parents had different styles, and often we got to see how that turned out. We all have a set of relevant experiences to pull from on the subject. Maybe it won't work for you. That's fine, but maybe you could actually say something about what's wrong with the suggestion instead of issuing a blanket dismissal. Or do the polite thing and ignore it.

You can spare me the condescending "so you don't have kids" that always follows this and just move on if you have nothing better to say.
