Here's how I think it should work:

You can get capital gains treatment on returns on investments in a given year which don't exceed 20% a year compounded annually. This would apply whether or not the taxpayer has realized the gain (though I'd be fine with an exception for startups to give them, say, 5 years to pay since liquidity events don't always align properly).

This solves the situations that enrage people, namely:

* Carried interest

* People that luck into huge gains on flyer investments (i.e. bitcoin or whatever

* Startup founders who get capital gains treatment because of the $100 (or whatever) that they put into the company initially

In each of these cases, these are really speculations, not investments. There's nothing wrong with that, but I don't see why it should get preferential tax treatment.
It depends on the detector used. Radar in particular is bad for stationary obstacles because it can't separate reflections from the ground from a stationary obstacle. Moving objects are no problem because their radar reflections gets doppler-shifted and can then be separated the ground clutter.
It's not my job to supplement the press or to do paper reading for you. If you're really interested in AI and don't just read the clickbait press, then open Arxiv and look there.

If, on the other hand, your opinion that AI is in a winter has been already decided without reading the latest scientific papers, then there's nothing I can say to you that will change your mind.
My gut tels me that modern art is a bubble with no objective way to measure any aspect of it and the market price is artificially inflated by all sorts of actors with conflicting interests.

Have you read a good critic of moder art that you could recommend?
The same underprivileged who feel there is no option but to sign a contract assigning all IP to their employer, which at best dissuades them from doing much open source, and at worst, precludes them from doing any coding which isn't for their employer? (I'm talking about the world beyond California, here)
It's not about monitor size or resolution - text just gets hard to read once lines exceed a certain width, because the eye starts losing track of which line it's on as it sweeps from the end of one line to the start of the next. That's true for prose as well as code - and code has the additional complexity of having to keep track of possibly-deeply-nested paired pieces of syntax (parentheses, braces etc); that part can be made easier with indentation, but not if everything's on one line.

Wider screens still have their advantages even if you keep your text narrow, mind - when you want to display multiple things side-by-side; the halves of a diff, or your code & a reference, for example.
"低头族" is a phrase for smartphone addicts, can be translated to something like "a group of people who have their heads down." (Unfortunately Google is translating literally character-by-character instead.)

"Dedicated channel/passage" sounds about right though.
If I go to a doctor I don't look at the work they do all day and then ask about what medicine they practise at home in their spare time.
From the Journal of Anthropological Society of South Australia:

There are a few other studies out there on this issue .. quite revealing.

EDIT: a nice quote which highlights the issue:

Colonist and author Dame Mary Gilmore stated in her reminiscences of growing up in rural New South Wales that:

… the white forgets the uncounted ways in which he [was] … unintelligent (and still would be unintelligent) but for what the blacks taught. As parallels to the treatment of snake-bite by sucking, take the use of eucalyptus, the application of weak wattle tan-water for burns and blisters, of clean mud as poultices, of native gums in dysentery, the eucalyptus beds and steam pits for colds and rheumatism, and ask was it a black or a white intelligence that was first to find and apply these(Gilmore 1935: 232).

She stated that a whole industry in making medicines owed its existence to Aboriginal practices:

It is true there is a eucalyptus extract industry now; but the knowledge that led to that was originally derived from the natives, who used eucalyptus leaves in steaming, and for wounds. For rheumatism steam pits were made, heated by fires, raked out, lined with leaves and then possum-rugs laid over the top. Another use of the leaves was as a strapping for wounds that needed closing in order to heal. These uses came to the pioneers from the blacks (Gilmore 1935: 226).
The findings are interesting and indicates just how much you can improve a "low tech" process by persisting and refining it over hundreds of years.

Comparison to American civil war success rates looks arbitrary and odd though.
Literally this article, and all the other comments and posts about how useless a computer science degree is for hiring, and how we should all go to boot camps. I actually have a comp sci degree (and learned a tonne) but I know former classmates who skipped through without learning to program properly at all.
I recently visited Stanley Mills, on the river Tay just outside Perth in Scotland. It's now a fascinating museum, and focuses on the history of the cotton mill and its workers.

In the early 1800s the mill employed 885 workers. 540 were female and 497 were children as young as seven. Their working day started at 5:30am, 45-minute breakfast at 9:00am, 45-minute dinner at 2:00pm and work finished at 7:00pm. Children finished at 3:15pm to attend the company school.

The Factory Act, passed in 1833, changed how the mill treated its workers. The act restricted working hours and also prohibited employment of children under nine.
An average Earth day used to be less than 19 hours long
Whenever I have anxious thoughts or worries, I imagine my friend having them instead, and me giving them advice. That advice tends to be a lot less self-critical and more helpful.
Why buy it over other cars in the same tier? Just buy all the cars in the same teir, so your garage can properly snapshot this moment in engineering history.

Tesla's are interesting cars, and iconic for this generation. That's why I like them. It's not a performance versus price equation. It's purely artistic drive.
Privilege is what is UNEARNED and there is no way to qualify if those with open source contributions are more privileged than others. The very opposite could be true. The privileged can bounce from well paying job to the next with no OSS contributions while the underprivileged have to "show their value" in the harsh environment of open source.

You're constructing the viewpoint you want others to see with no data or facts to back it up.
Still, I confidently bet someone without GitHub profile has easier time in hiring market than someone without a degree.
Why Do Societies Collapse? (2003)
I am not aware of such a thing, but SystemD supports the "legacy" SysV init scripts out of the box. This feature is required for certain Debian packages, as not all of them ship with proper SystemD units, yet.

It might be worth noting that Google announced similar features a few weeks before Apple. They'll come to my not flagship Nokia 6.1 2018 phone this summer since it is part of the androidone program.
No support for (Py)Torch?
Well, the 6502 is simply not made to be programmed in a high level language.

Note that there are many instructions that simply don't map to high level language features, such as bit rotation (not shift!), BCD mode and indirectly indexed adressing.

One thing that it very popular in highly optimized 6502 assembler code is self-manipulating code or even run-time generated code. This allows to work around a lot of limitations with indexed adressing or parameter loading.

The 6502 was designed at a time when CPUs were not limited by memory speed. I imagine that has only been the case right after the emergence of the first MOS-Memory (Intel, late 60ies)

Edit: For those interested in state of the art optimized 6502 arithmetic, this is a very good source:

It’s true that the probability of collision is likely lower on the dry, wide, and well-maintained roads of Phoenix, but given the higher speeds (higher kinetic energy), the probability of injury/death per collision is likely higher.
It's more that there a lot more factors than quality, like there being no competing projects or it being useful to a lot of people. Writing a quality project only gives it better odds than if the same thing was written shoddily.
I think that the quick solution to help the current situation is this:

1. Allow sorting threads by the time of creation, so discoverability of threads with no responses is much easier. (you can have default and by creation time sorting, this won't be to complex I assume).

2. Maybe finally add a link to interviews to the navbar? This request is simply ignored for months now. You are running a community and you need to be clear on why you are not willing to get it back (after all, its just adding a link).

3. Provide an actionable roadmap with estimated times of completion? For now, there is quite a lot of promises and plans but tbh, the features requested by members the most are usually ignored/forgotten and it seems there are very little changes to the website (besides products part). The roadmap will help the community to see goals and plans for IH and voice concerns before getting forced to accept new features most people won't like. Even a thread every month explaining what will be done. It will help the community to discuss it.
It's anecdotal evidence. I don't have a degree and I don't contribute to open source because I have something better to do in my free time. Still, I have a decent developer job.
If all your income comes from a single product then being concerned about it is very sensible. If the advertising market collapses Mozilla's funding would be decimated. Even ignoring the moral side of their stance it makes a lot of sense for them to argue for more diversification in internet business models.
I just want to understand that given the mostly negative reaction that's here at HN to the npm ecosystem which is based on the same "minimalist libraries" idea, how is this different?

I'd appreciate if the response is not about JS and/or C, but about the minimalist libraries in JS, C, or any other language. Should I use a large number of small libraries? Should I wrap up some of the code which I use into a libraries even if that code is just a couple of functions without any data structure?

Moreover, I'd admit that I'm a great fan of Chris Wellons blog posts which are pretty technical and original, and use some of his emacs libraries on a daily basis.
If there's another real estate crash, property values could fall below the accumulated property tax debt, leaving people who thought they owned their home outright underwater and unable to sell.
It seems you and GP are confusing VR and AR.

VR, virtual reality, is a complete immersion in a virtual world. A 3D game, a 3D movie, a 3D Minecraft, you name it.

AR, augmented reality, is additional "augmented" information in the real world.

VR is nowhere NEAR ready for mass consumer market. There's 2 screens on the glasses with very low resolution. Because the glasses are very much near the eyes, pixels are very apparent. That's ugly. Furthermore, you need a big fat gaming rig with a 1000 EUR/USD graphics card for the current low resolution. And then there is the issue of the data transmission. Those huge wires (its not wireless yet, and wireless suffers from more lag). Finally, it is pricey.

AR from Google Glass flopped due to privacy concerns. It would aid users in their day to day life like a smartphone or smartwatch does. Its being used for this purpose in business settings (also due to its price) just like some other expensive tools by Microsoft such as Hololens and Surface Hub (84"). The user interface isn't quite there. For example I'd say eye tracking is useful. Some cars also get HUD in windscreen.

(YMMV but as a glass user who uses glasses which also work like sunglasses in the direct sunlight, I'd love to have a pimped glasses with AR.)

Anyway, in short, my conclusion, is:

VR is mostly fun, though some useful sims (e.g. flight trainers, but also things like 3D meetings would make Hyperloop and air travel redundant which saves time & environment) do use it as well. It is more of a niche than AR. AR is going to be part of our every day life in useful/productive ways. AR will be vastly more rampant, and it will be in use in a massive scale earlier than VR will be.

As a side thought imagine going on vacation in VR and it being just like the real thing cause you're on a robot. Your 5 senses get stimulated while you walk through Cairo. You smell the spice whilst you walk through the market on your robot which you control. Why actually still go on vacation then? I already have enough pleasure with Google Photos or the new Windows 10 login screen as it is. Going to see the Eifel Tower which you already saw hundreds of time on pictures is boring as is receiving that piece of metal on a postcard. Oh well.
I totally agree with this point. However, to do so, one must be armed with choices.

1. The higher the labor tax rate, the fewer people will work

If higher tax rate pays for better infra and healthcare, more people are likely to work.

2. Higher labor tax rate makes for less efficient economics because workers will prefer lower-paying (less stressful) jobs.

Isn't labor tax progressive, so bottom earners do not pay a high rate. Higher paying job might have more stress but it's offset with more disposable income and there is strong incentive to invest this disposable income into lowly taxed capital gains setup in the absence of which either people will hoard this money (where it sits doing nothing or hold onto worse performing assets) or spend it ( increasing inflation (which isn't good for economy)

3. Wage tax brackets are not indexed for inflation.

Yes, for higher wage earners there is strong incentive to purchase stocks/real estate to enjoy lowly taxed capital gains.
Why Is AWS So Important for Amazon Future Business Growth?
I think a good way to end the debate on Github profiles is this:

Github profiles are advertisement for programmers.

Advertising requires resources - time, money, creativity and commitment and not every business is ready to pay to price. Sometimes advertising pays off, some times it doesn't.

No police arrests a business owner for not advertising. Same with github profiles. Decide to have one, contribute a little, much or nothing at all. It's a matter of preference.
It supports PyTorch.

It also supports anything --- you give it a script and it builds a Docker container and runs it. You don't need to use any particular language or framework.
Not sure I think using AVX512 makes sense in an RNG unless you're already using those instructions for a lot of stuff. Using instructions from outside the current power bin will adjust the clock rate and frequency of the core, and doing so is very slow (measured in milliseconds -- voltage regulators need to adjust).

In general unless you have a lot of AVX512 code to run (several ms worth), you're usually better off avoiding those instructions IME :(. (The same is also true for many AVX2 instructions...)

(See https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/frequency_behavior#Base.2... for some more info, as well as the Intel optimization guide).
So I mentioned, multiple times, that you shouldn't exclude people that don't have a Github profile. All I'm saying is that if you're underprivileged you have this awesome tool, use it.

And no I didn't have a lot of free time. I was working and going to school but when you're young you frankly don't need a whole lot of sleep.
Why not use reddit? You can create subreddit with only you as "approved submitter" and use "countries" as flair (one can select by flair).

> Would you really consider Linux to be a serious competitor?

Can only speak for myself but I much prefer Linux and even if I had to pay for it that would be my preferred choice.

As for why I'm a heavy multitasker and a keyboard addict and in my three years with a Mac I realised it wasn't for me. (If anyone is interested, feel free to ask.)

Do I say Mac is bad? No. I guess more people should use Macs.

Is Linux a serious competitor? For some of us: definitely.

> So if you’re in Japan for more than 5 years you maybe taxed on your world wide income?

Correct [1], even if you're on a regular work visa. "Permanent resident for tax purposes" != "Permanent resident as in visa"

Interestingly, as of 2017, you're taxed on worldwide investment income like selling stock (with some exceptions [2]) even if you're there for < 5 years.

Imo, OSS advocates really really want open source contributions to be used as hiring signal, because that would mean more open source developers. That is what this all is about, primary. Wish to come back to "open source developers are superior, because reasons" ideology that was pushed for during open/close source wars. And close source developers take issue with it not just because of privilege, but also because you are claiming they are less capable due to their code not being OSS.

Majority of employed developers don't have regular open source contributions. Especially those who work in high pressure jobs that already take all they have - both in time and how much effort you can spend per day. If the company is trying at least little bit to reward contributions, the people who give the company more (or come in better rested) get rewarded more then those who work for company less. That drives employees incentives and behavior.

Yes, there are junior jobs available to people with two months of coding experience. That is how it should be and there is nothing wrong with company seeing your OSS code as one of way to prove you can do it. The moment it will be expected from everyone, guess what, people like me will have tons of advantages to homeless, former "big scholarship to go to university" student who had to drop out due to personal reasons.

Senior developer market is not flooded with people with large open source contributions through. It is just not the case. Why would open source on Github should be privileged over random portfolio in case of juniors? Or to open source contributions that are not on Github?

Lastly, I dont think large open source projects can handle influx of juniors using them to prove themselves - which is what would happen if companies would really require oss contributions for hiring. Oss projects have often hard time to stay on top of existing pull requests.
I don't want to make this political as I'm unaffiliated with any political party, but I notice a trend and have a theory.

When Republicans are shaping policy, they tend to target air travel.

The article states that the system gets false denials as much as 1 out of 25 times... 4% is a very high error rate. For DIA alone that would average out to almost ~6,700 false denials a day. And that's not accounting for people who have been miscategorized in the system by the threat detection algorithm. It's another level of worry and potential headache associated with air travel.

Before 9/11, you could arrive at an airport 20 minutes before your flight was supposed to take off and still make it. After 9/11, to get on a plane you had to let the government take a nude picture of you, get a dose of radiation, and expect security lines to take 2 hours or more.

The hassle of flying made the comparative cost of driving places less because there was so much hassle associated with it.

And that's the basis my theory, the government is trying to dissuade people from flying in favor of burning through oil by artificially increasing its cost. Not to mention, like always, lining the pockets of the contractors in what is likely another no-bid scenario.

When 9/11 happened, public resources were poured into buying a bunch of nude body scanners that nobody wanted, were unvetted for long-term safety, and were literally useless for many types of weapons. But the measures were successful at making flying a nightmare.

Now the goal is to pour public resources into broadening the scope of no-fly list and implement a broken computer vision system to figure out who to ground? And for what? Has there been an upswing in terrorists hijacking planes domestically lately that we're responding to?

To my knowledge there have been 0 incidents of air travel terrorism in the US since 9/11.

It seems like the Republicans just like to make air travel as miserable as possible to convince the average American to choose to road trip in the face of cheap and quick air travel to justify their oil interests.

And with people as irresponsible as the ones who put in the Rapiscan machines in charge of evaluating threat levels it seem like a recipe for disaster (unless you are a private prison owner).

Not to mention that with 2012's National Defense Authorization act, America was qualified as a war zone to justify its indefinite detention clause. I don't think anyone what's to live in an America where groups of politically active people could be hauled off as terrorist threats because they didn't want an oil pipeline polluting the waterways of the natives.

Go to the airport for vacation and end up indefinitely detained as a terrorist? That would frighten many people out of flying I'd imagine.

DHS is a bad joke that needs to go away.
I'm saying that being in a position to have spare time to work on open source is a sign of privilege, and that employers should recognize that when they're hiring. Some great developers work on open source projects, but equally some great developers don't. Open source contributions are not a useful filter.

To be more precise, you are proposing eliminating the long term capital gains deduction. Short term capital gains are already taxed as regular income.

In other words, you propose eliminating the tax advantage of being a long term investor. Active traders will be unaffected.

Capital gain tax or income gain tax are designed to make the wealthy wealthier.
Don't tax "gain", tax the "wealth".
This will make it harder and harder to hoard wealth as you gain wealth.
Every other "tax" can then be removed.

So with the "wealth" taxt, every year you sum all your possessions and you give X% (20%?) to the government.

This look simple enough to me, did any country try that?
