>Why didn't you pay via a CC? Free foreign transaction fees is a common perk?

Credit cards generally don't allow bank-to-bank transfers.

If you're referring to the tent, the credit card processor choked on my Icelandic address and rejected it address as "not the address of the cardholder". It's a relatively common problem.
>Software has a higher crash and fatality rate per mile driven than humans, right now, despite driving in statistically safer cars.

Do you have a source for that claim because everything I have seen has been inconclusive so far?
I don't know about significant but there's some demand because insurances, banks and even stock exchanges are wanting to do something with blockchain. This could be over soon, I guess, so I wouldn't bet on it.

Just try and send a transaction that a bank doesn't expect, like an international transfer, or a Western Union transaction and see what happens to your account. And this is in a modern, wealthy country. You're spot on, this gives you a new perspective on the benefits of crypto.
To add to that, since I see it nowhere mentioned explicitly, neither in this thread nor in the article: the theoretical framework here is Signal Detection Theory (SDT) [1]. The problem at hand can be nicely visualized with two overlapping bell curves for the signal present/absent situations [2].

I don't see why this would be a problem. Especially considering you can purchase drones with MUCH larger payloads and ranges. Drones are scary when you stop long enough to think about the possible nefarious uses.

I wonder whether some substantial portion of cryptoanarchism isn't really meant to be anarchism in the fullest sense, but more anarchism-but-only-within-a-particular-domain?

Like, less "make the government not exist", and more "make it so goverments are unable to control things like communication, and some sorts of commerce"?

I don't know that self-described cryptoanarchists almost always have much opposition to the requirement of a drivers license in order to drive on the public roads.

I suspect that a non-negligible portion does really object to that requirement, but I'm not confident that the majority of them do.
What scare you? That by calling 911 you allow them to see and hear what you do? It's easy to extrapolate and use the "slippery slope" argument but that doesn't make sense here.

It's an emergency, you are calling an emergency line. That line should have priority access to information while you are calling for help.

Don't want any of that?... Well I guess don't call the emergency line... or whatever...

>MS Office was essentially feature-complete by Office 95,

Sorry but that comes across as a bit ignorant in my opinion. It seems to me you have never studied how non-programmer powerusers use excel/word/powerpoint. People are running their entire businesses on excel macros/ms access/and other cobbled-together systems. Heck, I don't think you could even do pivot tables till office 2007. That rules out a large chunk of the financial industry.
Banks ignore dividends you get from a closely held company (more or less) without at least 24 months of proof of income. So all else being equal, take salary. Your first two years of "dividends" mean nothing if you want a loan / mortgage from the bank.

It would be against the company and personally guaranteed if you were to get a corporate loan (back to checking your personal income again) at best, at worst it'd be a personal loan and their sole criteria would be your salary (ie. $0). Otherwise, dividends usually have (slightly) better tax treatment.

Make sure you have enough share classes that you can each take dividends in different amounts/times, and separate from any investors you bring on, etc. Otherwise future investors might not have flexibility they want.

So classes for: employees, a control class and a dividend / economic benefit class for each co-founder, and a control / economic benefit class for investors. Usually 7+ classes.

If you are certain you don't want a line of credit / mortgage or any other kind of favourable treatment from banks (or don't need it because you have lots of other assets to secure it with) then do dividends because of the tax treatment.

If you want the bank to think you exist economically during the first 24 months and are willing to take a (typically very small) tax haircut, salary. Doesn't necessarily apply in all countries / banks, but definitely North America.

The reason fancy people like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerburg don't take salaries (or at least, the self-interested one) is that banks will lend against their shares at that level, so paying the extra tax on a salary is pointless and they don't need the cash so it's really just a share value slush fund at that point. They don't need a mortgage / credit card and if they did it would not be the same question.

The big leverage comes from taking a dividend from one company, and rolling it into another company in the same year. Depending on the nature of the companies and how you account for it, you can sometimes avoid tax entirely.
Read the actual report. The Uber system registered that emergency braking was necessary to avoid a collision but the brakes were not under the control of that system.

https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Pages/HW...

Relevant section: "At 1.3 seconds before impact, the self-driving system determined that an emergency braking maneuver was needed to mitigate a collision (see figure 2).[2] According to Uber, emergency braking maneuvers are not enabled while the vehicle is under computer control, to reduce the potential for erratic vehicle behavior. The vehicle operator is relied on to intervene and take action. "
> - Python: as a first language of choice replacing Visual Basic or Java.

I don't see this happening in practice. Python has taken over the niche of Perl/PHP/Ruby/Bash almost completely but traditional uses for Java are hardly touched.

VB is dead, the only thing out there right now that seems like it may replace Java is C#.

Scala gets a bad rap from most JVM devs, but Kotlin may be a contender for Java replacement on both mobile and desktop.

Top earners? Likely to stay Java and C/C++ because they're not going anywhere and they're harder to learn than most languages. Maybe Swift for a while too because less people know it (because its Apple specific)

I think it's mostly online. Magic stopped doing big convention at LA convention for new set release. They stop releasing or giving promo cards they only give foil token cards now. It doesn't seem like they supporting hobbyshop as much. Standard is not the most popular format. It seems like Modern is their most popular since cards are expensive now.

It also seem like they're pushing for online more they've release a new online client that only deal with current cards and beyond iirc Magic Arena but the card economy there suck for some reason. I only hear this from a twitch streamer Hoogland in term of what happening to Arena. Jeff Hoogland also talk about the tournament is getting bigger but they've never up the prizes.

A while back there were a few very very alt-right like personalities in the magic scene. It got pretty bad when one of them sic his fanbase against a cosplayer and she end up with threats and decided to quit. The cosplayer announced it via twitter or something saying she's selling everything. That dude got banned. Another dude also got banned cause he read Mien Komf (hitler book) and edgelord online.

Advent of twitch have made making side money with video games a thing so yeah. That's what sup with magic scene it went digital.

I just showed this to my grandfather (he is German) and he told me to tell you that it was exactly the same reasoning when Nazis started War War 2 in September of 1939.

Many of his friends and family members were saying back then that if you have something against executive branch murdering Polish people, then you should vote Chancellor Hitler out in the next election, because German soldiers are only executing given orders.

The problem is a lack of liability for the content creators. Confusion can happen (such as particular renditions of a work who's basis is public domain information (IE a classical music score)), but willful lies should be punished with actual consequences.

Right now things are stacked entirely against one class of content creators (video creators). Additionally if I'm a public institution or someone else that's against having ads I can't control what happens during the contest period* (or so I've heard, it's never happened to me).

As someone that has posted a few 'how to do X' in software videos before, who believes that ads should be far more limited (like the old soap operas / PBS sponsors at the end of programs), I'd rather my videos were in 'hold on publishing limbo' while not under my control.

I have a short commute but I often drive all over California on the weekends. Having well-defined points where I could trust the computer to take over would be very useful, even if I had to manually drive certain stretches.

This weekend I drove from my home in the bay area to my Dad's home in central California. I could see a very useful system that goes like this

- Manually drive to the 101.

- Let the car take over until I reach the exit for the 152.

- Manually drive over Pacheco pass and get on the 5.

- Let the car take over once I'm on the 5.

- Car alerts me and I take over manual driving through a construction zone.

- Car takes over again until I reach the exit for the 58.

- Manually drive the rest of the way.

This scenario only involves automation on two of the major N/S arteries in California, yet it would have made my drive much easier.

I find the "Free Silver" movement fascinating because it sheds a light on how much we take our current economy for granted. Before I started to read about economics on my own I heard many times about the evils of easy credit and inflation but never had I heard about the problems of deflation and scarce money.
Actually, it's imposed by the institutions in the middle of the transaction as well.

Australian banks don't handle Icelandic krona, and Icelandic banks don't handle Australian dollars. As a result, they pick a third bank that handles both to be the middle man. If there's no one bank that handle both then it becomes a 4-player game. Every bank involved charges fees. I don't know how many banks get involved in AU->IS, but since the fee per bank seems to be about $15-$20AU as a standard, I'm guessing at least 4.

Microsoft had a monopoly on the desktop PC OS. Apple has no monopoly on any product category. (Defining "iOS" as a "market" and saying Apple has a monopoly over that is absurd; it would turn every platform into a monopoly. By that reasoning, Facebook has a monopoly on Facebook.)

The segment model was the thing I really hated. It didn't help that the DOS program that I sold for a number of years sort of ran out of in-memory space for data and I ended up doing a bunch of whacky things with segments rather than rewrite it from scratch. Which I eventually started to do but, at that point, it didn't make sense to put the work in.
Indeed. And by leading with that example, the US will find itself tasting its own medicine when (not if) power ratios change.

Same thing happened with cold war: once the US abused russia's weakness to increse its area of influence, all hope of moving to a fairer international order vanished. Russia remembers that.

The US has been relatively mild in abusing its power, compared to other historical powers, but is guilty of a very big crime: the undermining of the nascent international order.

It will come in due time, but it has been unnecessarily delayed.
> Who's arguing the app store inhibits handset competition?

Considering you're declaring Apple's practices anti-competitive, I thought you were. Apple's competition is definitively other handset manufacturers.

> The argument is that Apple chokes app developers ON THE APP STORE

Okay so you're trying to lay down that Apple, who profits _billions_ per quarter on the iOS App Store, is actively engaging in practices which _discourage_ competition?

I mean, I think I see where you're coming from, and that fits a kind of definition of anti-competitive practice. Since a developer can't offer software free of the app store Apple has manipulated their own market to discourage that kind of competition.

Still the fact is that there is nothing _special_ about iPhones or any other phone. They have distinct user bases. Despite the fact that Apple does sell software on their platform, if they didn't I don't believe it would change their position on the value of the walled garden. Apple is competing with decidedly few software companies, and those it competes with seem to be able to manage just fine even on iOS (see: Apple Music v Spotify, Notes v many-notes-apps, Reminders v many-todo-apps, etc.). It's not as though Apple releases apps then removes competing apps from the app store _because_ of the competition.

Either way, thanks for engaging. I doubt we agree, but it was good to explore the thought out some more.

And the "basic human nature" argument is absolutely false, although it's a popular narrative, and I would suggest that you go and do some research on anthropology and perhaps visit some countries that are not the United States and see how they do things there. Believe it or not the conquest/domination mindset is relatively new, and it's neither inevitable nor is it natural. You don't act like that towards your friends and neighbors, do you? Just steal anything that isn't nailed down? Most people don't. You've been sold a bill of goods, by a small set of sociopathic individuals who want to justify their criminal behavior.

I think it would be interesting if the court looked at who signs the software being purchased, from a digital security and ownership perspective. When you purchase an app from the App Store you are purchasing Apple's software. It's no longer signed by the original developer. If the court held Apple to the model they've deployed for their ecosystem, that could have interesting ramifications on the means by which Apple locks its platform down.

'msg' is a label, which will be assigned to an address at compile time. 'db' short for 'declare bytes' puts some bytes at that address. '.len' is then defined as the current output address ($) minus the start of the string.

The article does not make much sense as it, at least for France.

We have a tremendous difference in the adoption of religions by age depending on the religion. There is no "average".

When I was a child in the 80's, I have never heard of Ramadan. My children, same age same school know everything about it. Same for hallal food.

When I see people of my age (mid-40) who as Muslims, their religiousness is medium to poor. The next generation is very much different, way more religious.

Atheists are more or less the same.

Catholics are in decline, except in some places where the tradition is strong (Versailles for instance).

So averaging "religion" over a whole country does not yield any sensible results in some countries. In other maybe.

My understanding is that the metrics used to calculate ROI differ from client to client. It's more an art (or scam) than a science, with a ton of grey area. Whatever metric the client's boss is really into at the moment can be marketed hard and inflated using unverifiable data if needed. A lot of people are incentivised to tell the story that influencers provide value to brands. I believe that this is less and less true every day.
