Okay but why is it sloppy? Saying the true cost is on consumers, etc is a start but it is not a full argument. How do you know where the true cost lies? And like the other commenter, you seem to think a tax is a cost/disincentive which it is but there is a positive side too. Morality or not there is a benefit to taxes which many purely economic arguments on HN ignore.

In other words, the true cost may be on individual people. But so is the true benefit. So would taxing solely corporations have more cost or benefit for those people? Both for the people in the corporations and those without? I have yet to see a coherent, let alone persuasive, argument against the idea.

When a software engineer burns out he or she always identifies the same set of problems: I don’t like my job anymore, I can’t code anymore, but there’s nothing else I can do. I will never be able to make the same amount of money doing something else.

To me, it’s a lifestyle issue. Coding has nothing special to it. It is something that a machine can do a million time better and faster than us, humans. Also, you don’t want to lose your salary as a developer because you’ve probably set up your lifestyle around that kind of money. Most of us go even beyond that, by getting into debts. That’s the real problem in my opinion. Your job is what keeps your current lifestyle up and running. You put all your eggs into one basket like most of us do. Life is too short, you shouldn’t put work in the center of your life. Are you a software developer? Yeah? Well, stop putting yourself into that bucket. “Yeah but it pays the bills”... what bills? who set up the bills? You or your work? You should try to disconnect your lifestyle as much as possible from your day to day job. It has to become “loosely coupled”. Does it sound familiar? ;) At the end of the day, a normal job is a dollar amount (or whatever currency you use) and you are in charge of setting up that amount.

Make it as low as possible and reprioritize things in your life. The ultimate thing you can do in life is to live for free... why? Because you could be free like a bird and do anything you want. It’s technically impossible, but your mission in life is to get as close as possible. Good luck.
VCs (and investors in general) in my experience are money and a headache, but the money is super useful.

Self-driving features? Sorry, there are no some self driving features. You either have full self-driving or you don't. If you don't (which Tesla doesn't), how the hell can you call it self-driving?

Do you think I can compile linux from source, and implement a new module without knowing C++? (Coming from python)

I dont mean creating a whole functional module, but more like using an example, modifying some values, adding it to the kernel and compiling.
>> There is no ambiguity when someone says "I am American," as people from only one country identify themselves as such.

Well, they have the right to do so when talking among themselves. When talking within an international audience, good manners suggest sticking to definitions that are internationally agreed upon.

America is a continent, and US citizens are not more American than any Canadian, Argentinian or Peruvian is.
I honestly don't think a lot of people here know how to think artistically, which is to think in a completely free way, independent of all existing rules, systems, comparisons, judgement. The latter aspect (rules, judgement) is fairly essential for the engineering aspect of technology as well as the business aspect of starting/developing/running a company - at least just to get the thing running to begin with.

HN tends to gravitate towards these ideas in terms of conversation, even though much of the science aspect of 'what we do here' has or is being dealt with by a lot of people - enough that one can begin to be much more creative than say, a construction worker building a stage according to a predesignated specification, or a painter who has to make his/her paint from berries and leaves. Most discussions I've read here, most topics posted here - more often than not are extensions of this, having to do with hard science, physics, engineering, structure, building, designing, etc. Art is often only celebrated once it has achieved a certain degree of celebrity, or if it really ties into the hard science/engineering/business/systems side of things.

Kind of ironic(?) considering Paul Graham's essay:

http://www.paulgraham.com/hp.html

Art is a process, as is experimentation. Mistakes will be made. They get corrected over time. It shouldn't matter who sees you make those mistakes as you do, but all of this is a consequence of 'groupthink' and feeling as though people are always watching you, judging every imperfection as though making errors are somehow detrimental to your entire functioning as a creative being. Errors teach, and as Bob Ross said, 'We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents.'. That's a terrible philosophy when you have to calculate risk precisely, but not everything in life is about balancing risk.
The way I understood it is: "By failing my business other people will think because I am a foreigner and I failed my business most other foreigners are failures as well and I don't want that"

My point is that he shouldn't let hypotheticals like that keep him from doing what is best for him, especially if suicide is in the cards.

The Most Extreme Out-Of-Office Message
How much would it cost Amazon to assess the value of each book uploaded to Kindle? Some AI process could be trained on "real" vs "scam" books and attach a score, then humans could review the worst scores and then maybe investigate the authors who post a majority of bad books.

Even after the fact, once a book is generating profits in the Kindle store, one can think of many automated controls:

1. It shouldn't matter that the old Kindles can't tell the pages you've read (just the max page you reached), if the new ones can, because then, based on the data from the newer Kindles, one can detect books where people only read the first and last page (and then maybe investigate those books manually)

2. Even if no Kindle device was able to tell the pages you've read, if it's possible to measure the speed at which a reader reached the last page (date book first opened - date last page read), then by comparing to similar books of similar size it should not be difficult to identify outliers

3. Etc.

My point is, for some reason Amazon doesn't want to police itself, neither in the Kindle store nor in the general store (third-party sellers), which is bad for its brand.

This is puzzling because it's irrational, and one would think Jeff Bezos is more of the hyper-rational type...

So a piece of the puzzle is missing, but I can't see it.

And what do you do when a library you need doesn't use the same style as your code base? Let me guess: you end up adding an inconsistency into your codebase.

This is what style insensitivity is meant to fix. In reality, you are able to tell what style a code base uses almost immediately and grep accordingly.

That is what a tax is and how it is levied. The people in the town agreed via voting to levy the tax so that we could all collectively benefit. I am sure some people disagreed but that is democracy.

That’s not even really a sunk cost if the experience is worth a bit by itself.
The table corruption bugs were triggered when the load was very high, as far as I know. It happened twice to me. In both cases, the corruption couldn't be corrected.

The worse part was the corruption was propagated into replica, which brought up much more serious issue with Postgres's replication model. So the only solution was to install the latest good backup.
I was in a similar situation many years ago teaching English in Japan. I didn’t really enjoy teaching English, but transitioning into a programming career just didn’t seem feasible at the time given where I was living (far from Tokyo), my lack of Japanese language ability, and my lack of experience as a programmer.

So I decided to leave and move to the Bay Area. I spent a decade there building up work experience and saving money, until an opportunity came to move back to Japan. It’s worked out well, I am financially independent with a job that I mostly enjoy, and having moved away for so long and then returned I am really confident now that this is where I want to be living.

I would suggest that you consider a similar path if possible. I personally found it so much easier to develop my career in my home country, surrounded by all the opportunities that SV offers programmers.

I can’t really comment on how best to go about filing all the necessary paperwork for your business, but if possible I would recommend trying to do things according to the letter of the law. As you’ve no doubt already learned Japan can be fairly strict with regards to process and paperwork, and I would hate for some misstep now to come back to bite you later e.g. when applying for a visa. But this is of course all secondary to taking care of yourself right now.

And that brings me to the suicide part. I’ve also been there at one point in my life, suicidal and so depressed I could hardly get out of bed for months at a time. I had this horrific tunnel vision, and the things that were stressing me out at the time made me feel hopeless even though there were plenty of opportunities to be happy staring me in the face every day. But gradually I got better, learned to cope with my problems, and I honestly think those hard times helped me to better understand myself, my limitations, and shaped me into a person who is genuinely grateful for all of the amazing things that have happened in my life since I failed at suicide.

It sounds like you’ve had a pretty serious setback - but it’s only temporary. I hope you are able to get back on your feet again soon!

Completely lost all data on my boat drive
Completely lost all data on my boat drive after trying to clone my boot drive to an external hard drive back up clone using disk utility restore. I couldn’t believe it. I followed directions found on a number of different sites exactly and somehow this process which did not work at all completely erase my boot drive although it was only the source this to be restored. Apple is really neglected and warning people about problems with 10.1 3.5 update and their new file system APFS. Since my iMac has a factory SSD it automatically change the file system to the new a PFS, but apparently there must be a problem loaning your boot drive to an external hard drive using disk utility restore which is HFS plus. Luckily my Time Machine had a back up which took several hours to do to restore my boot drive, but lost a weeks worth of data. And this should not of happened, but didn’t notice back ups are not being made daily because time machine was not doing them saying there was not enough space although there’s 4 TB on my time machine external Western Digital hard drive

Hi Matt, thanks for the feedback! We will definitely look at partnering with businesses and schools in the future. And I'll have to look into the subtitles on the explainer video, that's a great tip as well.

Once you give Seedlang a try, let me know what you think!
The article advocates changes to how children are raised — encouraging more chewing of tougher food — as a way to improve the situation. But is there any suggested intervention for adults? Perhaps more adults should be encouraged to have jaw adjustment surgery, instead of regular orthodontic treatment? Right now it seems like braces are considered the first choice, and surgery the last one, but perhaps this should be reversed?
The information is there. Nothing you've said in your responses have been remotely realistic.
I was thinking the same, there are known automated strategies to catch copy cats or just bad writing.

However I’m guessing having a big inventory is more valuable than quality. That could be amazon’s cultural motivation to dismiss quality by default
I think the best lens to view this blog post through is shown in the quote far down in the article:

You certainly have a good point. There is quite some room, sure, but not enough for full-scale blatant abuse.

Now, to the classification of your travel to the satellite office. Here in Germany your employer has to keep records of sufficient detail to show the iirc. customs office (as they are assigned to keep an eye on this, as far as I remember), that you did not work more than 10 hours on any single day, and not more than 8 hours per workday on average over usually 3 months. So the time after those 8/10 hours are not work, and the tax office doesn't care much about where you spend your time off after work. Sure, it's a nice job (if you don't have a family), if you fly business class around to all the little satellite offices for just 8 hours or work, possibly even staying the weekend (as it is cheaper to stay than to fly you back home, which should be the point where it counts as compensation for taxes, e.g., the additional cost of the hotel, compared to flying you back and forth, would be counted as compensation).

The champagne you drink on the flight, at least as far as it costs more than water, should/would count as compensation. The nicer seat shouldn't, because the increased comfort isn't really a material benefit. If they pay you a nicer seat than they can explain with less of a productivity hit, they might themselves need to argue differently for why they paid for it, when they themselves get an audit. And while I don't know the IRS, I assume they compare the compensation listed by the employer with that listed by the employee. So this would be noticed, and the IRS might well claim tax fraud. Sure, not everyone cares, but this should give them enough to go after blatant abusers.

Smart stuff from the guy who worked out the scam, though.
I’ve seen both sides of it now, and can definitely attest to having a great experience with the Flybridge team. From intros that have turned into sales, letting us crash in their office multiple days a week to save on office space, or sharing their WeWork credits so we could book some conference rooms for free. They do things the right way, and are just a really enjoyable team to be around. They’ve been instrumental in helpful us grow during our first year of existence, and we wouldn’t be as far along had we not chosen to work with them.

But, the point of “sometimes” is still a valid one. So, be selective if you are looking for someone who will be more than just a check.
Any source on that theory? I think you have something solid there. George Carlin put it quite eloquently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvgN5gCuLac

We're definitely seeing a resurgence to simplicity after advertisers had performed scorched-earth on frontal cortex lobes.
My point is that is entitlement.

I browse the site and it defaults to English, and my browser is set to en_US as locale.
My feeling is that "lie" and "creation" go together. Similar to "he made that up". Something is a fabrication (in the lie sense) when it's created by the person saying it and not drawn from evidence or observation.
windows is spectacularly poor at dealing with NUMA CPUS so threadripper is not displayed to the OS as NUMA.
The Amiga chipset used DMA very extensively, so the CPU's memory access speed is not as important as on other machines. There were other architectural constraints, like the fact that the CPU had to compete with such chips for access to the same memory. So-called Fast memory was not a default setup for years. And the true solution, dual-ported RAM would have been too expensive.

Which games do you think were constrained by the CPU? I can think of other factors first:

- sloppy ports

- it was a more complex system to tame than most of those that preceded it

- the sprites were simply too limited, so you had to use the Blitter a lot

- unlike a lot of chips of the era, Denise had no tile or character generator so, again, you had to use the Blitter

- the CPU was clocked at 7.14MHz to align with the PAL/NTSC clock even if it could run at 8MHz

- if you used more than four bitplanes in low resolution, the Agnus chip would let Denise starve the CPU even on cycles where the latter would normally have access (if you set the right bit, the Blitter could be allowed to win, too)

I don't see how a different CPU would have helped with any of the above. In a time period during which memory wasn't typically the limit, the Amiga was one of the first systems where the CPU starved for it.

The X68000 was better, sure, but it came out later and, being in the same mold as the arcade systems of the era, it had dedicated video RAM, tiles and more powerful, actually useful sprites.
And yet it’s also the source of a huge amount of severe vulnerabilities today. It’s not as cut and dried as you make it appear, even if I do agree with your sentiment.
Add it to the bingo card between "cloud" and "serverless"
People really do limit themselves because they don't understand taxes. There's a lot of bad information about tax out there, and even some propaganda.

I've met people who sincerely believed making enough to enter another tax bracket would mean all their income would be taxed at that rate, not just income inside the range.
This would catch books that are bad on purpose, which is itself a kind of art. Though maybe it can be easily solved by triggerring a manual review once you have 100 of them uplaoded?
No. It hasn't been enabled by default in my experience. It isn't the exact same as the Safari technology. Firefox lets you block "3rd party cookies" or "all cookies" from the privacy pane of preferences. I've always "set it and forget it". The assumption is that many tracking cookies will come from 3rd party websites.

let's be reasonable : how many people who run architectures which don't have any float would actually send floats to them over the network ?

OpenStreetMap Should Be a Priority for the Open Source Community
Of course it should... :P

Neurones are electrical but mostly chemical when they work. The average speed of a connection from one neurone 0.1-0.5 m/s. So if you hit your toe on a chair and you are 1.8m meter high (and pardon my rough math/science here) it would take almost 1 second to reach your brain (of course this is why reflexes are handled close to the spine and not the brain).

And now imagine the complexe processing that is required to view/ear and recognize something. It is done quite quickly and yet the basic processing unit of the brain is slow. One might think it is the massive parallelism of the brain that makes this possible so quickly, but even there if you think about it it all that processing done in such small amount of time cannot be more than a thousand operations...
This is not enough. The results need to be understood and interpreted as well. For example, it is questionable whether linear dependencies in some bits matter for any of the typical applications of non-CSPRNGs.
The sucky thing about this is that the way Amazon pays out Kindle Unlimited reads is through a pool they create each month. They essentially take the size of the pool (say, $20 million) and divide by the total pages read and pay out to each author depending on how many page reads they had.

In other words, scammers like this are taking money directly from authors producing legitimate work.
> It does not have a feature analogous to safari 11+'s tracking prevention.

I never said that it did... I wrote that firefox has had the ability to block cookies automatically for years, which it has had. My response was not a comparison between the browsers but a statement of one particular feature that was mentioned. I simply said that what had been stated by the gp was also available in Firefox.
Speed is one of the most underemphasized traits of a great VC for founders. While fundraising, a quick yes is the best answer, but a quick no is the second best. Investors who follow this are truly founder friendly: it's easy to stall and wait for more data, but it's actually helping the entrepreneur to just say no. Those are the investors I want to pitch again later.

It's no surprise founders rank speed highly while investors don't. Find investors who care about speed and you'll find a great partner.
