Worrying about air pollution creates stress which combined with air pollution itself, reduces health more than air pollution alone.

Part of the reason I started working at Stripe is that I remember going through exactly this and it freaking sucked. Building a product and finding customers for it is hard enough without also having to cross-class as an expert in international taxes of software sales.

Are you saying that you see human life as something that can be bought and sold?

It's one thing to talk about punitive damages and liability, these are factual mechanisms of our legal system. But just because damages can be paid and are on a regular basis they do not imply that there is some socially acceptable let alone codified price for a human life. And we should hope for our own sake there never is.

I agree that marketing should not be allowed to let their imagination run wild to the detriment of the company.

In the case of the liability bit IANAL but that's likely to differ between industries. Some sectors like aviation are highly regulated and require certification of the aircraft and the airplane flight manual is tied to that serial number and is expected to be, correct and free of gross errors for normal operation. So liability can vary. Are you suggesting from experience that there is no liability in the case of Tesla taking into account their industry's context? I don't know enough about their industry to judge, just looking for clarification.
You live in EU? Sure. You live in US? Nope, it does not apply. There's no nexus. EU can go and pound sand.
some history on the topic:

at the beginning there was the one true watson. watson was a way to process, correlate and provide indsight on a corpus of knowledge expressed in natural language. the technology was good but had one major weakness: the knowledge extraction part had a large bulk of manual labor needed to weed out the noise from the relevant part, because to a processing engine each bit of information is equal to every other bit of information. so you needed domain expert to proviede an initial tuning and after that watson was a good solution for the problem statement.

this process however required non technical domain expert to be working closely with the watson analysts at the tuning for an unspecified and quite long amount of time, comopounding the already astronomical costs of the solution itself

now as you might imagine like any other company ibm has a lot divisions - cloud, services, intelligence etc. the watson division due the large research costs and the few clients that were able to afford and make use of the tech was scoring too much quarters in red.

ibm is also a financial company, so they did what they usually do when one division needs padding: they started moving everything remotedly related to intelligence and analytics under the watson moniker, to drive up quarterly reports. this had the side effect that the watson marketing is a clusterfuck of overlapping and unrelated solutions that more pften than not don't even work togheter natively, but are presented as a whole ecosistem.

now, of course anyone trying to make sense of the whole thing is going to be faced with all kind of claims against all kind of slutions, without any idea of what does what.

but originally the only omission from marketing was what watson actually required and how and what it could give back to a company. but the problem is... it's the kind of solution that you have to build to see where it goes. you cannot be sure of the results from the beginning.

No they are all publicly listed companies. I am not sure if private companies are required to disclose median pay.
Something that the kids of IT today will never learn:

Never replace anything unless the thing doing the replacing is better than the thing being replaced.

The IRS' IT "upgrade" is just a huge money grab. Nobody has the slightest interest or desire to do anything properly - they simply want in on that lucrative IRS money.

It's like the saying: "Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job." Likewise, the kind of people who are bidding on this project are certainly not the kind of people that should ever be allowed anywhere near the IRS' computer systems.
In the U.S. there might be relatively few physical reminders, but per various reports, pan-opti police-state surveillance in China results in arrests and disappearances for 'crimes' that we'd consider run-of-the-mill free speech.

cf Paradox's Crusader Kings etc., where you can start off with a tiny county with an army your larger neighbour can effortlessly stackwipe to avoid the issues of managing subordinates if you want, but if you don't read the manual to find out what all the options mean, you'll struggle to get beyond the tutorial never mind understand why people find it addictive (or buy any DLC...)

And weirdly the mystery UX forcing you to pore through the manual and how to guides might actually be a good thing since even if you start out big enough to conquer and learn how to raise an army you're going to find it very frustrating when you lose it all and more happy because you didn't research the implications of gavelkind inheritance

Context for folks who haven't encountered vesting before: vesting is an arrangement where, instead of getting all of your ownership up front, you earn it over time. For example, you might have a fairly common arrangement in Silicon Valley where you get 1/4 of your equity after working for a year and the remaining 3/4 over the next 3 years. This pre-commits to what happens regarding ownership if someone leaves 18 months (or 18 days) into running the company.

Atlas C corporations with multiple founders have a vesting schedule built-in (4 year vesting; 1 year cliff), the market standard in Silicon Valley.

Vesting in an LLC is complicated:

Because an LLC is a partnership, there can be complicated consequences of someone stepping back from an operational role (like e.g. being a founder) but remaining an owner of the business. We didn't think it was appropriate to have a one-size-fits-all answer for this: some companies might choose to buy out the departing founder, some might choose to pay them dividends on an ongoing fashion, and some might not have financial bandwidth to pay dividends but might want them to participate in upside in the event of a future acquisition.

Conversely, adopting vesting establishes some fairly substantial tax consequences (83(b) elections, etc).

This is heavily dependent on facts-and-circumstances.

Vesting is more of an established concept, with off-the-shelf support throughout the ecosystem, for C corporations. For those who want it in an LLC, please speak to an attourney. You can still adopt it for your Stripe Atlas LLC, it just isn't built in to the default experience.
I grew up in Michigan and attended UM. I can say anecdotally that very, very few people I knew (mostly from math + engineering) stayed in Michigan after graduating. On the other hand, many people I knew who graduated from Michigan State ended up taking jobs in and around Detroit.

I found an article [1] which claims that 40% of UM's living alumni currently live in Michigan. I would wager that the rates for recent graduates are even lower, since moving away from family has become more common, but I couldn't find data.

The general trend is that students do either competitive programming or development. Most students who do competitive program hardly work on any personal projects or open source as it is of almost zero value when it comes to campus placements. Companies like Flipkart, Morgan Stanely, Goldman, Amazon, Cisco etc conducts a competitive programming test as the first round in Universities. The remaining rounds are mostly data structures and algorithm/DBMS questions taken from GeeksForGeeks. Very few companies ask questions about development, personal projects, open source contributions etc. If a student does only development and hardly do any competitive programming it is very difficult for them to pass the first round.

Nah, but I was helping the author clean up his Python environment on Friday, which I think prompted this comic. His environment isn't even the messiest I've seen. I helped an astronomer friend with theirs at one point, and it had something like six different "manage your whole Python workflow easily with just this tool!" things installed.

I think what a lot of comments here miss is that while new tools come out that can help make things better, they don't suddenly fix people's existing installs. It seems weird that there isn't more documentation out there to help people get out of these kinds of messes.

My understanding is that the climate sensitivity per doubling of CO2 is about 3 degrees celsius; if we keep putting CO2 into the atmosphere at our current rate we'll get to one doubling in about 56 years; therefore we'll probably wind up at one doubling or a bit less by the time we go completely renewable. That would be around 2.5 degrees of warming. Which is very bad, but not civilization-ending. Have I missed something?
> here in the southern hemisphere, there is no recognised "pole star"

My polar alignment scope has etchings for Sigma Octantis (screenshot from companion iOS app: [1]). Wikipedia also describes Sigma Octantis as a southern pole star [2]. Maybe it's just not as common to refer to Sigma Octantis as a pole star as it is for Polaris, but it does seem to be recognized.

A bot of a tangent, but a year ago I loved Twitter and found it engaging. I tweeted mildly interesting comments and sometimes mildly amusing anecdotes.

Then the algorithms took hold. Now most of what I tweet goes totally unnoticed. Now perhaps I am more boring now (even though I have a lot more folowers), but it doesn't seem to be the case, I think I was just as inane before.

On the other hand, if I get maybe four or five friends to retweet me, all of a sudden I have exposure and I get read, liked and retweeted a lot. This has just pushed Twitter more into the hands of bots. If I had a bot army of maybe 10 bots I would get a fair bit of exposure.

There is also a momentum thing, if I take a couple of weeks off Twitter it doesn't love me any more when I come back.

This has ruined Twitter for me.

An LLC is not a partnership. (A limited liability partnership is an LLP.) An LLC is a distinct business structure with some similarities to a corporation, some to a partnership, and some unique features.

You can absolutely apply to Atlas if you already have a Stripe account, and (without interrupting use of that account) can use your new Atlas company as the owner of the account and take payouts from it into your own bank account.

> I don't believe a single second that Java is more verbose than Go. It's just that Go hasn't been buried under layers and layers of EE ...yet. In fact the whole "if err!=nil" boilerplate is the very definition of verbosity.

You don't have to believe anything. But when I download JDK source I can clearly see tendency to over abstract since very early days when Java EE wasn't even a thing. I have worked on many Java projects where code was rejected because it did not use enough 'design patterns'.

As a Java programmer the main win of Go I see that now I can write a few hundred lines of straight forward Java code in a single file which does some work. In past it would be dozens of class files spread over ten packages and 5 xml config files.
What I normally do is searching on Google on monday morning a "cool" thing, like "drone" or "camera" and then I enjoy all the week these "targeted" ads, thus avoiding quite a few about "random" things I am not interested in like toasters, diapers, and similar.

Not that I am actually interested in drones or cameras.
File on a postcard. Sure. This year, I could have used the 1040EZ (the entirety of which could fit on a post card if you removed the embedded instructions), and left some money on the table, so I chose the more complicated route. Last year, I just used the 1040EZ. Flat tax is a completely different issue.

That's not correct. As soon as you want to do business with someone currently located in the EU (doesn't even have to be an EU citizen), GDPR applies, no matter where your company is located.
St. Louisan here. Arguments for why we're actually your sister city:

1) Both independent cities. There are only a few in the entire country. St. Louis and Baltimore are the two largest. This dynamic plays out in very similar ways in both cities. I hang out on r/baltimore a bit. The people there use the terms "City" and "County" almost exactly as we do.

2) Similar demographics, crime rates, and issues. Detroit is down to about 10% white. The splits in Baltimore and St. Louis are more even, which informs quite a bit of the racial politics in each city. (I can't imagine there's much of a white voting bloc left in Detroit, but it still makes a big difference in St. Louis and Baltimore.)

3) Very similar population peaks. St. Louis peaked at ~850k. Baltimore once had about 950k. Detroit was much, much larger at its peak.

4) The Baltimore Orioles used to be the St. Louis Browns.

5) Similar architectural patterns. Where Baltimore has row houses:

St. Louis has red brick:

https://misfitstream.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/25.jpg

The prevalence of each form creates very similar vibes in each city. Detroit doesn't seem to have any such dominant form.

6) Detroit's boom (driven by the automobile) came later than either Baltimore's or St. Louis's. Baltimore and St. Louis are much more from the same, earlier era and that definitely comes through when walking around in their older neighborhoods.
Google uses a monorepo. This means that a single definition can make its way into an outrageous number of binaries. This doesn't lend itself to nice tight boundaries between programs.

Not filing or, worse, making an error in your filing makes it a really really nasty game. No recommended.

I'll even break my own rule: "Not filing considered harmful"
My experience differs from yours. I have used IRS customer service five different times over the last two decades and each time they have been courteous, efficient, and helpful.
Recent breakthroughs in ML from a commercial perspective are achieving super-human performance in some computer vision tasks and end-to-end methods beating traditional ones in machine translation and speech recognition.

However, these breakthroughs have not much to do with a general notion of intelligence as they are very limited to a specific task. In the media, the term AI is used very inflationary these days.
Most of the time of compilation is spent in LLVM since Rust generates a lot of IR. I haven't looked deeply into the issue, but it wouldn't surprise me that monomorphization combined with the functional programming patterns is one cause of code bloat. For instance, every time you use `map` (or another HOF) with a closure you end up with two generated functions per usage: One for the closure and one for the `map` monomorphed for that specific closure.

Compare this to a `map` function which is only generic over the return type:

fn map<T>(self, f: &FnMut(Self::Item -> T)

This function would only be instantiated once per unique T, regardless of how many times you use it with different closures. This halves the number of trivial functions that LLVM need to process and (usually) inline. The reason `map` isn't defined like that is that it uses dynamic dispatch instead of static dispatch.

However, I don't actually know how much a difference it would make, but it's my understanding that LLVM was never optimized for the use case where you have many, tiny functions (which is more common in functional languages).
I always feel that this is one step away from that famous quote, "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist," attributed to various (https://quoteinvestigator.com/2018/03/20/devil/). In this case, the greatest trick is convincing that it does exist... and maybe is the harder one.
As far as I understand the accused trafficked forgeries of Dell recovery CD. These CD do not include a Windows License and Microsoft does not sell such CD either. The article is lamenting that very misunderstanding was made by the court.

Now you're saying the court got it right and the accused was actually selling Windows licenses. Who is right?
I mean, maintainability aside they are a giant calculator right? You don't need to be running the latest, hippest web platform to do a good job at doing a lot of math. And, will any of the current en-vogue tech still be working in 50 years?

If you had to pick, Java does make a lot of sense. Java & C are safe bets for "languages that will stick around for decades".
Agreed that their are trade-offs made, of course. But this society spends a ton of time trying to prevent all kinds of death. That's because life is sacred.

It seems odd to argue that. Yeah of course we can't stop doing things, but it doesn't mean we don't try really hard to avoid killing people.
