> from the age of 18

18 is too late. I doubt any one in any of the good national teams started playing seriously and tactically at age 18. This is in fact one of the problems with the US - our soccer players start too late.
"claiming that the gorilla had demanded to see the subordinates' breasts."

I dunno, if a gorilla wants to see your nipples, are you going to feel safe saying no?
Thus forcing the businesses to pay or be punished. The business likely has the option of not passing the cost along to the consumer, but in the end they are the one being forced to pay the state.
Yeah, that was great, thanks.

I think I'm getting it. It's basically that we use mental modals to go about our business, but these modals will always be limited in scope. True objectivity is, in a sense beyond us.
That’s a bit of a leap. It looks like fully automated compliance from the existing services. From collection to remittance is about 3-5k a year. With more competition it will likely become cheaper.
I start creating a glossary of all of the unique and important terms and concepts used by my team. This is a great way to confirm understanding and becomes great documentation for the next person to join.
I don't have hard numbers on Fortnite, but from what was sussed out of PUBG press releases, it sounded like mobile platforms are way, way more popular by player count than console/PC for them. Fortnite is a little different because it's free on every platform, but I bet they still have similar user numbers just because a lot more people have phones than any console. And I bet this is especially true for the younger generation that Fortnite appeals to.

Of course that's not to say that any mobile user who dips into a free-to-play game has the same long term customer value as a hardcore console player so I'm not sure how that math works out. But it's worth keeping in mind that the player base of any console is dwarfed by phone users and that's a funnel of millions of new gamers who see the PS4 as the only platform that "sucks for Fortnite". I think that could have long term market effects.

It's not scientific, or even representative, but watch the recent Senegal vs Poland world cup match.

I think Poland was the #4 FIFA ranked team. Wow was the athleticism gap pronounced for Senegal.
The problem is that if you are the CEO, you don't have any "coworkers." You are in charge of everyone. No one else there is your peer.

The military has a policy that treats an affair between an officer and the spouse of someone in their unit as non-consensual. It is treated basically like statutory rape. What the spouse says is irrelevant because you can't eliminate the possibility they are basically being blackmailed into claiming it was consenting.

If you have enough direct power over someone, you can't really determine if it was mutually consenting. I think this is a root cause of a lot of the he said/she said stuff where men are all astonished that they are being accused of anything when they felt it was consenting.

In some cases, I have some sympathy for the guy who may well have not really fully understood the intimidation factor in the situation. In other cases, they clearly are happy to use their power to bully others into getting their way and, no, I'm not sympathetic to their bullshit claims.
Getting into even MORE nuance.

Having worked on federated login with Sony, I suspect this "account taint" behavior is because Epic is using Sony's payment platform for loot crates. It's against Sony's policy to be able to pay for things to be used outside their ecosystem...mostly because that opens up a whole can of legal worms. It's for the same reason Spotify subscriptions use in-app purchase but you put your credit card into Uber and Lyft. Allowing cross-play means the in-game items you paid for with loot crates should transfer.

Aha, HN devs say, why don't you just carry a bit with those items that were paid for and hide them on other platforms? This is, more or less, how Blizzard deals with this. However, if that's not how you set it up out of the gate, that can be a painful thing to do retroactively. That's why I feel it's a bit disingenuous to heap ALL the hate on Sony. Epic could possibly work around this.

That said, everything about the account is cosmetic-related. You'll have to start all over getting your John Wick skin...but how big of a deal is that really? It doesn't affect gameplay. That's probably what Epic is thinking.
if you're in the US, give https://www.twilio.com/wireless a try. You're still using the same carriers under the hood but at the very least you're giving money to their business/enterprise side instead of the shitty customer side.
wow, big thanks for this, I didn't know about it. I chose a bad example then. I could summon others about the big 3's erratic behavior but anyway...I learned something valuable here, thanks.
What would you rather happen? Browser vendors hire more people such that they can fix every valid bug ever filed?
I had no idea this was even a thing, but all the examples look pretty tacky. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facadism
True, but if US non-residents were not taxed by the US, the whole issue goes away.

In case I wasn't clear, even if "double taxation" doesn't actually result in double taxation or an additional tax obligation -- i.e. (owed_US - owed_foreign) > 0 -- then it's still an unnecessary headache for the citizen.

In the US, thanks to extremely complicated rules and lack of centralized information collection -- many people use an accountant to file their taxes, which is much less common in other parts of the world. In my native Norway, for example, the tax authorities already have everything most people need to file, and indeed if you don't file at all they will simply calculate your taxes for you. (Unlike the US, they will mail a bill if you owe anything.) Living outside the US then potentially means having to use an American accountant to figure things out, unless something like TurboTax can do the job. (Last I checked, apps like TurboTax didn't do complex use cases like FBAR.)
Likewise, detectable RNA/DNA does not mean there's virus (virions).

An unusual example, but it's common to have Ebola virus RNA in semen (a fluid from another immuno-privileged site) with no detectable virus for months after primary infection. (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1511410 among others.) Similar patterns exist for lots of other viruses.
It's funny, I never really understood why people want to subdivide a terminal emulator. I want to see more lines of code, not read code through a mail slot. My visual layout has always been many tall and skinny terminals and editors. With dual 4K monitors, I've let the windows get wider. I find myself hobbled to be on a single laptop screen, so I usually defer real work until I am back at my desk.

I do use screen for the detach/reattach feature sometimes. But, ever since I started regularly using X Windows instead of a vt220, I use my window manager to multiplex. I will open multiple xterms and emacs X windows ("frames" in emacs terminology). I will never sub-divide one xterm or one emacs frame, and I only learned the command to undo an accidental windowing subdivide, much like I learned to abort from vi/vim if I accidentally get dropped into one due to a missing VISUAL environment variable.

If I can launch emacs through ssh with X forwarding, I will. If not, I'll open multiple xterms and multiple ssh sessions and run many emacs instances in -nw mode. Once in a while, I'll mount the remote files via sshfs and use my local workflow. Even locally, I am just as likely to have multiple emacs instances open as multiple frames from one instance, since I prefer to find files and open them from the shell prompt than screw around with file-opening dialogs in the editor.

Even back in the vt220 days, I was much more likely to use shell job commands to background and foreground for multiplexing rather than want to subdivide the already small console.
Uhhh did he say it wasn't Sony's fault? His point was cross-play isn't the worst part, but the way Sony locks your account in. Don't see how that exonerates Sony.
While discussing the Node C binding architecture, I think it's also worth noting The Neon Project* which is extending that lower level binding system into the Rust ecosystem. I'm not personally involved in the project, but I think it has a lot of potential.

This approach would place a disproportionate tax burden on the poorest sectors of the population, at least in the US. It's mandatory to have a car in order to get to work in most parts of the country. The structure already exists, punishing the least fortunate because of existing systems and structures seems punitive.
Surely there are examples that aren't comical? It must be like every other category of anything 90% is shit and 10% is pretty good.
"...and twenty dollars or so my bank charges for receiving wire transfers."

For business accounts or personal? I received a single wire transfer to a personal account two months ago and didn't pay a fee. Maybe I get one free. Maybe there would have been a fee for a business account.

But I'm certain I've never heard, until now, anyone mention fees for receiving wire transfers.
>And when MS made one with MSIE and used that in Windows, we sent the EU after them.

That was because they were a monopoly (among several other reasons, such as "bundling", threatening OEMs and so on).

Not because they offered webviews (which was totally irrelevant).
Where i'm at in Michigan, they always put any kind of transit funding proposal on the ballet. This obviously gets voted down because most people don't want higher taxes for system that will only benefit urbanites in the short term. And the politicians who don't want transit know this.

It becomes obvious what they are doing when more funding for freeway expansions just gets rubber-stamped. That is "an executive decision" by the politicians for "long-term success of the region".

The entire funding model is aligned where they can move money around for more roads, but any public transit funding should be "up to the people to decide"

Personally over many bug reports and many years:

A+ experience with the Chrome team

E with Edge

F with Safari

The Chrome devs have been astonishingly good. My experience has repeatably been that if they are given a good bug report, they get it fixed and often fix it really fast. Or they reply with excellent technical reasons why not. Also multiple times I have seen extreme corner-case regressions get magically fixed without me reporting anything!

Edge - always waffle and misdirection in reply to bug reports. I only bother to give them very well documented, repeatable bugs, plus attached repro file, for things I really need fixed. However: I did have one good experience recently because I reported the bug for the Edge beta, on a feature they were actively working on catching up to the other browsers (however they still had poor interaction).

Safari: hopeless. Report a critical bug with excellent repro file, and get no response, and no fix.

No rating for Firefox because I haven't bothered reported any bugs to them in the last few years.

Edit: this is for non-security related bugs.
Not quite correct. There will still be a 2nd vote required in the parliament in early July. Only if it passes there, it actually would be implemented.
Just make student loans dischargeable. The market will sort it out at that point. Loans for degrees that are valuable will be granted, and loans that are for selfish degrees that produce no skills anyone else wants or cares about won't be granted. And colleges would have to start cutting costs to make their degrees more affordable. And given the mind boggling increase in tuition over the last 40 years, there's an epic amount of fat to be trimmed.
I've never understood the point of this. Why keep the often beautiful Edwardian or Victorian facade if what you construct behind it doesn't respect anything of the original you went to such lengths to keep? Bolt a standard office or apartment complex to the back and pay so little regard that the floors don't even line up with the old frontage or match in any major respect. Just build a cheap office block and be done. At least that's honest.

Then again I suppose that would reveal the Emperor's New Clothes. Modern architecture simply can't do public buildings, balance, aesthetics or anything that isn't either a standard curtain wall box or a £15bn signature tower block.

We didn't learn from all the Victorian buildings pulled down in the sixties that many now regret losing.
Yup. The "great" thing about the US is that it's a large developed country with a strong rule of law, but at the same time also perhaps the most corporatist country on earth, allowing companies to act with impunity and lobby when needed, all of which leads to big and sustained profits.

Compare this to, e.g. Europe.
Respectfully, which rule is at issue here?
> bus and trucks with bigger tires have a larger contact surface hence the same pressure as a car and therefore don't do more damage than a car.

In parts of Europe where the temperature soars over 40°C in the summer, trucks are forbidden from driving during the daytime because when the asphalt softens, they do more damage than a car.
There was an attempt with electrino [0] that has ultimately been abandoned (I'm sure the author has posted their story here before). It aimed to provide an electron compatible API over the native browser controls, which is definitely ideal but not so much for those who just want to write for Chrome and nothing else.

I think native app development might have a fair chance if it could adapt to some of the decisions the web dev community (and communities using server-side languages) have made over the years.

- There was a fairly universal rejection of WYSIWYG editors after the Frontpage/Dreamweaver era, once CSS2 and XHTML started to become a thing; yet your default option for building a Mac or Windows app is to download around 6GB worth of IDE, interface builders, and other toolkits you'll never even know you'll need before you can properly get started.

- While you might consider a webpack or babel setup to have appropriated the position, you don't require the solution or project file those editors build to get a hello world up and running by hand. An index.html and an app.js is enough to deploy an entire application.

- hot code reloading and debugging in the UI is a breeze (react native and flutter have been great for this too); no need to manually rebuild on each change.

This comes at the cost of dealing with the usual web-dev bugbears, ones that don't exist when you're working in C# or Obj-C or Swift or whatever, but the browser has almost accidentally become this amazing environment for experimental app development, that I imagine in some ways takes what Smalltalk had to offer in a totally different direction.

It would be interesting to see what OS vendors could do to level the playing field there. I enjoy doing native app development a lot but I do miss some of what you get from working with JS and React.

Avalara provides this service to mom and pops for $50 per year.
I don't fully agree that Microsoft would be doing this if they were dominant. Maybe under Mattrick, but Phil Spencer has been making a lot of right calls since becoming head of XBoX, like bringing all their games day 1 to PC and going all-in on backwards compatibility for their 360 and OG XBoX titles. Even their adaptive controller is cool, even if I'm not someone who would use it. I recommend watching his interviews with Jeff from Giant Bomb that he's done every year at E3 to get an idea of his views when it comes to this stuff:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70z2jtcQf4s

Companies change all the time, though. The next head of XBoX could go back to the Mattrick days and completely burn all the good will they have. But, as long as Phil and Nadella are around, I don't think they'll be blocking cross-play anytime soon, even if they do become the dominant platform.

Because those are ugly and boring.

It seems that Epic is partially to blame for this. If they just required PS4 accounts only for PS4 it would cause far less problem for people. Epic could also allow the transfer of all unlocked items and such between accounts, but chooses not to because they benefit from people being forced to buy it a second time as well. That Epic would have to implement this functionality is the fault of Sony, but that they implement it in the way they current do is the fault of Epic, and so consumers should be mad at both Epic and Sony.
List em. I want to see what your standards are.
I thought it was because consoles had games that pc did not, and once you had the console, it was convenient to play on it other games as well, even if they were also available on pc?
Yes, this is actually how it work however page flipping mechanism require a memcpy, as such it is as effective as not using page flipping and just memcpy a front buffer to display and doing software flipping through pointers exchange, the only advantage of using page flipping is that it require much less operations and prevent tearing but performance wise, it is roughly the same.
That looks like their tax filing product for ecommerce. The prices look pretty good, actually, at least compared to other others. A single filing seems to be about the same price as the others, but they have good discounts if you are filing in a lot of states which looks like Avalara might be a winner if you are dealing with many states.

I don't see any pricing for their services for their services for determining how much tax you need to collect for a given transaction.
This will change because

1) Latino immigration and their inherent interest in soccer

2) Pigskin Football is plummeting due to concussion fears

3) Steady rise in popularity of the sport, especially as a social/hipster rebellion to old guard leagues like the NFL

4) MLS, for better or worse, seems stable and can provide some degree of professional support for players. That will attract more athletes and keep athletes in the sport

I think the US will rise to the level of the less talented Euro nations that qualify, like maybe Denmark or Iceland.
>the solution, in part, has a simple policy component: declare jubilee on all federally-originated student debt

Unfortunately this is a pretty terrible idea. First of all it would cost about $1.4 trillion and second it benefits the already better off in society. [1] Not only do the children of wealthy parents have disproportionally more student debt, they're also far better equipped to actually pay it off. A trillion dollar welfare plan which gives money to Sandra A. who went to Wellesley but not to Sandra B. who only has her GED doesn't sound that great. It'd be better just to spread it out evenly.

Yeah but when can I start using it on android and ios too? I still don't understand why they don't try to make the platform truly crossplatform.
In Stockholm it's done by cameras that read the license plate (automated payment once a month can be set up). So no, progressive taxing would not at all be impossible (but perhaps unpopular in the US).
from what I recall in the history (heard from the husband of a college friend, he was the person that fixed the thing) the person who did the mixup went to a lot of trouble to fit the hoses in the wrong way.

If you give the test to everyone, your results are:

~1.5% correctly diagnosed with autism (0.88 x 0.017)

Thus, 76% of those diagnosed would be diagnosed incorrectly.

>You'll have to start all over getting your John Wick skin...

But you can't. It would not only cost money to, but it is also time gated, and once that gate closes you can't open it back up. No new account can have a John Wick skin because it requires buying something no longer for sale and then completing challenges that are no longer part of the game.

Apple has asked me several times in the past for online purchases. I enter a ZIP code, they do some lookup and ask me to choose the county I live in from a list of three. I choose, and based on that they calculate tax.
The sales tax is collected after the transaction, so price elasticity has nothing to do with it.

What you wrote applies to other things like an increase in rent or property tax, which has to be built into the cost of the product. But it doesn’t apply to sales tax.
Honestly, the state doesn't expect anyone to get this completely right except the largest companies. If you make a good faith effort to comply with laws, in the vast majority of cases, you're fine.
There was a great article about this recently which basically says that modern architecture schools drills into you that any sort of ornamentation is a sin.

It also made another interesting point: modern buildings have no context, if you see just a picture of one, it's impossible to say if it's from London, Madrid or Shanghai.

And a great quote:

> There’s an easy test for whether a building is beautiful or not. Ask yourself: if this building could speak, would it sound like the Rubaiyat or the works of Shakespeare, or would it make a noise like “Blorp”? For nearly 100 years, we have been stuck in the Age of Blorp. It is time to learn to speak again.

Snort! The individual market in my state is comprised of three types of people - those so disabled they _can't_ work, who consume extraordinary sums of cash, the subsidized, and (less each year) the small business owners/independent contractors. The last category is expected to pay more than the price of their mortgage to support the first two categories, which is completely unsustainable. After two years of trying to be a good little mousekateer, I shut it off and feel like a rube for waiting that long. I spend less on healthcare each year than my cat's vet costs, but am expected to pay the cost of another mortgage, with high deductible to boot? GTFO. I self-insure, and am happy the tax penalty bit the dust.
I tried using Twilio Wireless, but note it is NOT a good replacement for cellular service.

You can't receive texts from other Twilio numbers, which doesn't sound that bad, until you realize that virtually every verification SMS from most services also use Twilio. I wouldn't get 90% of my 2FA SMS codes anymore after trying to use it.

Also, data is super expensive on Twilio Wireless. After one day of just background data (no browsing or streaming) I was charged ~$15 (for the 100MBish of data I used off of Wi-Fi).

There are all kinds of other problems with it too as a cell service.

There are some really good reasons to use Twilio Wireless though, but not for mobile phone service. It's great for IoT hobby projects.
