> On top of this, you can continue to give large multi-million dollar estates down indefinitely to your children without the estates being reassessed for tax purposes.

Correct me if I’m wrong. Doesn’t this scenario also describe handing down family farms? If so, repealing this law could be a terrible double-edged sword. Lots of families could lose the farm when mom and pop die, unable to afford the tax bill.

I could be mistaken but I believe that’s the scenario this law is intended to protect.
> If they're shutting down blogs, there's 2 possible reasons for it:

There are other possible reasons. Like "we don't like it".

I live in the country where the corruption index (calculated by Transparency International) is lowest in the world. Still, we have a "black list" of web sites that the police distributes to Internet access providers to block users from accessing the sites. The legal basis of this is supposed to be stopping child pornography, but still, the mechanism is used for blocking sites that criticize the police, and have no pornography at all. And there is no legal mechanism to challenge the police and stop them from doing this.

GDPR gives many additional tools for authorities to perform censorship like this.

Sure. I don't think a potential dictator would stand a chance if he/she didn't have the support of the US military, or at least the support of enough of it to suppress the rest. Either way, private-citizen gun owners are a rounding error in the equation. They just don't matter in this scenario.

Each of those operations changes the processor's state based on the current state and the input. Which is what a state machine does/is.
Exactly, convenience is the most important part and here is where netflix et al has failed miserably.

1. All clients suck immensely.

2. The catalog is really poor.

3. DRM. I don't think you could describe inconvenient better than with those three letters.

If I could pay, say $30 a month, to legally pirate (not from any official source even) any movie/series I want I'd pay that in a heartbeat ($30 is still more than I consume if I were to buy it in a store). But now I don't have any service because it isn't worth it. I don't get the convenience and I don't get a decent catalog and I would have gotten it with DRM.

Yes, I was referring to Northeast about the snow, that have somewhat ski-able "mountains". In general, the quality of outdoor activities is so much greater on the west coast that my friends and I would just fly from NYC for trips than go out locally. Plus you avoid ticks and lyme disease.
Indeed. Bike share schemes don't need to be publicly funded if run properly. Citi Bike has been a huge success in NYC without taking a dime from taxpayers. Perhaps an ebike system would have been more economically viable in a hilly city like Seattle.

Can we somehow convince you to part-time more technical blogs and videos? Like others here said, you have a knack for writing really accessible technical articles without them feeling dumbed down.

I don't know if you're just more into doing the hands-on work of developing the codec (I can imagine that's exciting), or if it's a question of technically not being hired to do that.

In the latter case, maybe "The People" could vote with their wallet to convince the higher-ups otherwise?

Like, Ubuntu lets us decide what we want them to spend our donations on. If we had that with xiph.org and it had a section that said "more technical blogs!", or maybe even something like patreon a set-up where you can pledge to automated repeat donations for each blog entries, wouldn't be surprised if there were enough nerds willing to send donations specifically to justify to the managers that you may spend more time on outreach.

I don't think it's terribly unusual. I have a friend with a physics Ph.D. who went to work for a D.C. area consulting firm, subsequently moved to a startup. I've heard a lot of physicists get hired as quants too.
Lots of edge cases with an extremely large base case -- I'd guess (conservatively) that at least 9 out of 10 sites you go to use shared hosting or a CloudFlare-style CDN.

Also worth noting that an ISP will generally go for the low-hanging fruit, but if your threat model includes a determined opponent then this probably isn't for you.

It's hard to argue that this isn't a net improvement over the status quo, though.
I doubt this is common knowledge. I have many friends who are not in the technology field and they have no idea. Many of them are informed and educated professionals but they cannot know about every issue until it makes the news. Woz is making the 6pm news with these quotes.

If you own something that's taxable (like property in CA), shouldn't you have to pay tax on the value of the damn thing?

If you're paying tax on the value of your house/land, it only makes sense to pay a tax based on the current value, not the one 30 years ago. Typically your house/land is going to go UP in value, and so do your taxes.

After reading a lot of writing by both Hintjens and Sústrik I came to the same conclusion. It's such a shame they fell out, I feel like with a little compromise on both sides they could have come to a workable place. There would have been heads butting and voices being raised (figuratively) but a lot of great work can be done in a place like that. The problem is that it's tiring to fight those battles on a daily basis, and it gets old really fast.
Huh. I had that same problem on two machines running Tumbleweed a couple of months ago. In both cases, the only working approach I found was to wipe the root partition and install from scratch.

But the die size didn't grow at nearly that rate, large dies remain very expensive to make. For example, comparing the HD7970 and RX 390X, similarly positioned GPUs released 4 years apart in 2011 and 2015, transistor count grew ~50% from 4.3 billion to 6.2 billion.

I dont understand whats the outrage is about.
Bay Area / San Francisco housing market is tough because that area is special. Its special because its home to world's most innovative companies that pays its staff world's highest salaries. So it basically became an exclusive neighborhood for the wealthiest and most talented (demanded) people. And it stay special because those who are not in demand cant afford to live there. You think it will be better if housing became cheaper and all those who could not afford to live there now would be able to move there and turn the place into a shit show like Queens and Brooklyn have become? Overcrowded houses with too many cars on the street, all the double parking and chaos not to mention filth on the streets and the noise? You cant afford it for a reason, if you were needed there Google would offer you a salary high enough for you to be able to afford it. Everybody is basically in outrage that they cant get into and live in this exclusive, high class neighborhood but if everybody could afford to live there it would not be exclusive and high class anymore and those things that attracted you there back then would not be in place any more and the area would become into a place that you run away from in the first place.

> There's no such thing as a "context switching overhead".

So what do you call the time spent changing the system internal information about the currently executing thread, switching page tables via cr3 and the invalidation it causes, and the time wasted because of cache misses (although a lot of it can be reclaimed with CPU pinning). Because that's what people normally call "context/thread switching overhead"

> The OS context switches to the next available thread at fixed time intervals. It doesn't matter if you have 5 threads or 5000, the number of context switches is the same.

Not just at fixed intervals. If your threads are doing io work, more threads will switch more often because they will issue io requests forcing waits/yields. If they do pure-cpu work, that doesn't apply, but we're talking about networking mostly in these comments.
They still are anything but sad about it. The amount of pirated music on their platform is mind boggling.
First of all I live in Belgium, so no HBO here (some other European countries do have it I see, it's basically a lottery).

I'm in a somewhat similar situation, but I'm 50 and the equivalent of a cobol programmer - useful in my niche (financial services), and a lot of general experience in the field, incredibly useful to a few firms but I don't know the latest hottest tech stacks so not generally employable. Also not an entrepeneur, so a startup is out (don't have any good ideas anyway).

If I go, it'll have to be along the FIRE line, and I haven't figured out what the alternative revenue stream is. Probably consulting back to the industry part-time, as long as I don't take a couple years off and stop being "somebody".

I get the panic. It's hard to walk away from the job and the money and the status. It doesn't matter if you objectively don't need it - you get used to it. It's a massive security blanket - not just the money, but the perks, the being coddled by the company. And while hard work plays a part in getting there, you know that some of it's just pure luck. Are you going to just throw it away before you're sure you're done forever?

I've been at this level for 10 years now and all of the above just sinks into the bones. It's harder as you get older - age discrimination and all that, and you have fewer years in which to recover if you really do screw it up.

Have you thought about the health insurance angle? That's the biggest bind-up of all for me. You can't get decent health insurance without a full-time job.

I don't know how much help I am, because no I haven't screwed up the courage yet, and I don't have a good plan. But I understand the boat you're in.

The idea that people would get kicked out of their family homes due to increasing taxes without increasing someone's ability to pay them. Not to mention people on fixed income. Then add the fact that most people who voted already had their California home and were just voting for a tax cut for themselves.

What's the alternative? Maybe the discounted tax could be collected when the house is sold? Put in a limit where the total backlog of tax is capped by the amount the house has appreciated in value to avoid making selling the house impossible.
