> A corporation may not be represented by an attorney-at-law or legal paraprofessional except as set forth in RCW 12.40.025.

12.40.025 covers the transfer of cases from the district court to small claims, so for claims starting at the small claims level, the restriction appears pretty tight.

I've had the same feeling about the index, except I want the opposite setup. Instead of the index becoming a commit, I want to always commit my working tree, and for there to be a special sort of stash for the stuff I don't want to commit just yet. I want to commit what's in my working tree so I can test before committing.

The way it would work is that when I realize I want to do a partial commit I'd stash, pare down the changes in my working tree (probably using an editor with visual diff), test what's in my working tree, commit, and then pop the stash.

I had hoped that this would already be doable with git, but it isn't, at least not in a straightforward way. The problem shows up when you try to apply that stash. You get loads of merge conflicts, because git considers the parent of the stash to be the parent of HEAD, and HEAD contains a bunch of the same changes.

I'm sure there's some workaround for this, but every time I've asked people always tell me to not bother testing before committing!
>>That entire testimony was very unsatisfying, in my opinion.

The goal was not satisfaction. The goal was to allow the Senators to be able to tell their constituents they did something about the Facebook problem, to the vast majority of whom "Congressional hearing" will sound serious and consequential.

edit: The downvotes tell me that most people don't understand how these committees work. Here's a hint: they have no teeth. Nothing will happen as a result of this hearing.

This is a pretty weak argument. Using a standard established by an RFC implies a user has read that standard about as much as using Facebook implies a user has read the TOS. The TOS establishes a transitive condition that the user agrees to about as much as they agree to one-to-one commumication under the RFC.

If you have a problem with usage implying consent to a TOS then you can make that argument, but this one is flimsy.
Yep. The limitation though is that a foreign entity only has to pay the tax on its California receipts. So if 10% of your $1 million annual profits are derived from California, you pay the 1.5% (min $800) on that $100,000 and not the whole thing.

And btw that’s the rule in every state. They all want to tax whatever revenue is generated in that state (unless they don’t have a business tax at all, which is somewhat rare)
"taxed into Bankruptcy"

If you're not making $800 then you don't have a business - you have a hobby.

Xamarin ships for iOS. It does AOT compilation from CIL to native.
We still use SVN (but tfs git for greenfield projects). We are a small company and only 2 or 3 devs work on the same project at a time. Git itself doesn't solve any problems we have. We still deal with merges when someone goes nuts refactoring.
Delete is a technical word that has a specfiic meaning.

Respectfully, if that were true, we wouldn't all be having this discussion.
Delaware is 5x South Dakota for exactly the same thing, just to exist. At a certain level of receipts it doesn’t matter and the tax rate is more important, or what the corporate law structure is like.

But yeah, there’s really no valid reason other than the fact that California can get away with it.
I think these kind of "piling on" articles do a real disservice, because they distract from the significant, valid privacy concerns about Facebook. I mean, come on, calling it a "cheat sheet"? If you were giving testimony to the US Senate in a highly anticipated hearing, don't you think you would prepare? Were you hoping he'd just wing it?

> scientists tend to have a very hard time acknowledging these limits of our understanding

That couldn't be further from the truth. Scientists have been very upfront about the limits of our understanding, particularly when it comes to combining gravity with quantum physics. Listen to Neil DeGrasse Tyson or any other science communicator talk about general relativity or quantum physics and you'll hear them drive this point home.

We know that quantum physics and general relativity don't combine well, yet both are among the most thoroughly tested theories in science. We know we need new physics to combine them, but they're still useful in their own domains. Just like before we had general relativity, we knew that Newtonian gravity was incomplete because it didn't correctly explain the orbit of Mercury. But Newtonian gravity was (and is) still useful, even with those limitations. The key is knowing where the limitations apply.

General relativity applies to scenarios of high mass/energy. Quantum physics applies at small scales. They both work great in their respective domains. It's when you have high mass/energy in a small volume that things break down, because both quantum physics and general relativity apply, but we don't know how to combine them.

> I think that by failing to acknowledge the limits of scientific understanding, maybe you are confusing science with religion?

I don't see dbasedweeb failing to acknowledge anything. dbasedweeb wrote, "incomplete in very extreme conditions such as the interiors of black holes or the first instants after the Big Bang," which happen to be two places where quantum physics and general relativity are both applicable and we therefor run into the limitations that I mentioned above.
The commenter didn’t make that “false equivalence.” Their point is that there are valid reasons a user might want to allow an application to access their messages.

For example, reddit’s API allows applications to access messages, which is useful for third party clients.
Not quite that simple but you’re right that if you can be physically present outside the state and do business for California clients then you’re probably not going to pay the franchise tax.

But no state allows you to register any entity for free. Lowest I’ve seen is South Dakota at $50 per year with no other tax on receipts.
The assumption you're making is that your brain gets no calories when you have no food. Every kilogram of fat on your body is 9000 calories just sitting there. Most of us have at least 10 of em, or 90,000 calories.

While it's definitely true that some things slow down to conserve energy, it seems like the brain isn't one of em. There are moments* now I feel I'm thinking considerably clearer than usual. The world just feels unbelievably quiet. And things are getting done.

*I don't want to sell it as if it's all sunshine and rainbows. So far, getting to sleep has been hell, and the hunger pangs at times have been pretty insistent. While the hunger seems to have gone now, I have a general feeling of physical frailty, including lightheadedness when I stand up, and occasional light nausea.
There are few modern white collar spectacles more nauseating than watching capitalist overlords jerk themselves off over their wise decision to make lifestyle choices literally everyone else would also choose if they weren't forcibly restrained from doing so by their own overlords.

The next time your boss calls you into a multi-hour meeting, tell him that it's much more productive if you only attend for 15-20 minutes. If he assigns you a task you find to be a "painful drag on morale", then go ahead and "be ruthless about saying no." Let Altman know how it goes.

The gist of the article is that flighty millennial job hoppers are bad employees and that companies won’t invest in those employees “career growth” if they don’t think there will be a ROI.

What I think is missing from the article is that these “job hoppers” lack of loyalty is often a learned response. Employers did this to themselves by showing employees a total lack of loyalty. Millennials only need to get burned once in their career by some company that “needed to reduce headcount to boost our earnings prior to the IPO” to understand that their loyalty will be exploited, not rewarded.

It’s the world we live in. Ask me personally what I think and I’ll tell you it’s a God-given right to start a business with little government mettling. In the real world, especially one largely run by statists, it’s considered a privilege.

I'm using the language of statists because most people today are statists. It doesn't necessarily follow that I also personally agree with the idea, though I can see why you'd draw that conclusion.

This is a bit paranoiac in my opinion, but I see the point. I mean, I cannot in all honesty say he is wrong.

My approach to this problem is, given the fact that I use a password manager[1], the following: I chose a random question from the proposed set, and then generate a random password and use it as a "secret answer". Given the fact that 99% of the time the security question will be checked by a computer, the security question effectively becomes a secondary password.

But as I write I am just realizing that the security question is probably not stored in a secure manner (salt + hash) anyway, so in the event of a data leak well that account is f*ed up anyway.

Also, this has always seemed problematic to me: my secret question is supposed to be something I "just know" but... Let's assume the question is "what was your favorite teacher at elementary school" and my answer is "Mrs Chtulu"... What if I come back in a year and instinctively type "Miss Chtulu"? Do I have to remember the spelling I used? The capitalization? What if when I was 13 i did not bother capitalizing names and surnames properly but now I do ?

Right but using the example there aren’t any profits to tax, so his friend would’ve saved several thousand dollars by having the entity registered in another state with a lower minimum. Florida, for example, is less than half of Delaware and SD is even lower. Much better choice for a one person early stage experiment.

Talking about living a good life makes you sound like a deluded hippie, a hardcore Christian, or an ancient Greek. When people want to sneak advice on living virtuously past modern cynicism, they have to hide it under layers of similarly cynical ideas.

Because of this, suggestions on how to live well, make yourself into a better person, and enjoy your life are made in the name of increasing productivity. Spend time with your family, exercise, sleep properly, tackle interesting problems, work in a comfy quiet space with natural light, constantly learn new things, surround yourself with good positive people, take breaks when you're feeling the onset of burnout, experience nature, and value your time - it's okay to be happy, because you're doing it in the name of productivity!

If you interpret "deleting" data as making the data inaccessible, would discarding the encryption key of encrypted data count as it being deleted?

For example, let's say I encrypt each of my users data with a different, unique encryption key. In order to access the data, I need to fetch the contents of that user and then use their decryption key to decrypt them. The data can be regularly backed up and archived. If I ever need to delete a particular users data, I could simply discard and lose that users decryption key. While I do have mangled data that can be transformed back to the users data, I no longer have the ability to read the information and I wouldn't be able to access it (assuming you don't have the power to easily crack the encryption).
EDIT: I guess I misread it. On reflection what I wrote really doesn't make sense so let me retract.
If you’re not profitable, then the minimum fees matter. If you are turning a profit and you’re living in California and working from home (and assuming you have no employees) then there’s no real reason to incorporate in Delaware.

The franchise fee is 1.5% with a minimum of $800 for all profits from business generated in California. So yes you’d pay the franchise fee for CA and the $250 to Delaware
So what is your alternative solution? If it ends up with "someone else can have better weapons than me"...I think you may want to reconsider.

I mostly only ever used it for branches, cherry picking and conflict resolution, and it was awesome for that.

I don't use it now, and I don't use branches or cherry picking. My personal philosophy is that I am not keen on branches: never have been, never will be. I see repositories as a two pizza team concept. If you need branches, you should split the repo, make more iterative changes, or look at establishing or improving a test suite. It keeps things simple and cognitively low overhead for everyone (as per the sqlite team's comments).

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has previously supported MPEG-2 and VC-1 hardware-based decoding by selling additional licenses in their online store [1][2]. By making the licenses optional they didn't need to increase the cost of all Raspberry Pi devices unnecessarily.

There isn't any reason they couldn't do the same for HEVC or H.266 as long as the hardware support was there.

From my own experience there are times where i might be seeming to do nothing at all to the outside world but i make up for it by figuring out how to do what might have been a months worth of productivity in a day. The down time is an important part of the process.

Added to that, often what might seem important one day turns out to be insignificant the next. Many people are relentlessly busy but never seem to advance very fast.

I'd agree with the article that the differentiator between the super successful business people and the rest of us is having a unique ability to see what actually matters in terms of moving the needle.
