It seems like you would have to go far beyond that stage without settling the tax bill before you would be at risk of having a passport application denied.

> To be at risk of passport denial, a taxpayer must typically be subject to a lien, which advises creditors of a debt to the IRS, or a levy, which gives the IRS the authority to seize assets.

> Taxpayers typically aren’t subject to passport restrictions if they’re contesting an assessment administratively or in court, or if they have pending or current installment-payment agreements or offers-in-compromise with the IRS.

The amount of work we do is such a complicated issue. Here are a few primer questions to get you started:

How do we quantify amount worked on the continuum of knowledge workers vs. physical laborers?

How much are working hours determined by personal preferences and desires (getting promoted, actually enjoy job, etc) vs. demands imposed by management/project requirements?

How much of time worked depends on the culture (of a company, of an industry, of a country)?

How to quantify work "in the office" vs. at home "answering a few emails? Some people like being really flexible. I personally prefer very binary working/not working lifestyle.

How much should we work throughout our careers (I prefer the idea that we can "turn down the volume" on work during child rearing years, but this is in direct opposition to typical career advancement timelines)?

Is there any reasonable definition of a "full work week"? What is it (40 hours?)

Should we have a minimum wage at all? Does a minimum wage increase productivity by artificially making labor more expensive?
How should one spend their remaining 60+ hours in a week?

What about all the time spent commuting, taking care of children/family/pets/friends, grocery shopping and cooking, cleaning the house/clothes/dishes, learning things (at school or not), etc? What makes these things so different from work? Should the government put a weekly limit on these things too?

Why should a narcoleptic crippled 50 year old, single-earner, single parent, with 4 young kids, a house, continuing education, narcolepsy, 2 hour daily commute and minimum wage job, have the same working week limit as a single 20 year old with no outside responsibilities who loves his fulfilling job and have an employer that takes care of most of his needs?

Way back in the 1990's, between undergrad and graduate school, I took introductory statistics, linear algebra, and 3 advanced calculus classes at night at a local CC which had ~4 different campuses in the metro area. It was mostly college or grad level students taking the courses for credit. Most of the professors had a separate, professional day job. Two were heads of their respective departments at the school.

Based on my experience I would say that community colleges are great for learning the material, and universities are great for socializing and learning stuff outside of the classroom through self-directed interests (especially in graduate school).

>"Thinking about what kind of science one might do around evolution, the neutral theory seems like a very natural thing to test against. It seems useful to disprove that a hypothesis might be part of a separate or competing theory."

Apparently this "neutral theory" was compared to some data (ie tested) and found to be lacking in its current form. I didnt check the details so cant comment further on that. However, I don't see how that says anything about which competing theory should be adopted.

Important in what sense?

Important in this context to me would mean: if I don't eat spinach, or if I skip breakfast, I will NOT lose weight on a calorie deficit. Is that what you mean by important what you eat and when you eat, or something else?
Yes, if you're already familiar with PDT... Not so much if someone says "X AM PST" and you just plug it into your calendar.
The interesting question remains: why did they keep going? Windows 1 failed horribly (just like similar products), why make a second version? And secondly, why make it compatible with windows 1 if nobody was using it anyways. This is usually the perfect moment to fix old mistakes, change the architecture, etc. It was all there in windows 1... GlobalAlloc, SendMessage, etc.

You can take a windows 1 binary, patch the PE header to say it's for windows 2, use Borland resource editor to recompile any embedded resources, and then it will run on 32bit windows 10.
I had looked for that one, because that was what got syndicated in the little local farmer paper in which I first saw this.

Or, you can sit at your computer and do the things that are currently collectively imagined to "matter". (Good enough for most of us, most of the time, including myself there.) Such perceptions of course are ever-shifting and what "matters" never lasts all that long in the form that is current & en-vogue at time t, except for such timeless intrinsics as shelter, food, hydration, good company and.. hanging outside in nature. =)
> will reinvent lodash

Someone who knows modern JS inside and out will see lodash as yet another unnecessary dependency.

> Someone who doesn't know the purpose of Redux

Knowing the purpose of Redux has nothing to do with knowing or using Redux. Write a couple medium-size apps in React. Congratulations, you now know the problems that Redux aims to solve.

If your team doesn't have the discipline and experience to write a maintainable app without Redux, dropping Redux in isn't going to make it better and probably will make it worse.

The main problem with modern Web dev is that we think it's necessary to solve every problem by layering on ever more and more shiny crap on top, rather than focusing on a small set of inescapable tools and mastering them.

Want to be a React developer? Master HTTP, HTML, CSS, JS, and React. Then you'll know if you need lodash (nope) or a CSS framework (maybe) or Redux (probably not) and you'll be well equipped to make those decisions according to the project and team.

Of course, if this wisdom were commonly heeded, we wouldn't have this:

$ create-react-app foo && find foo/node_modules -type f | wc -l
20444

Which shows that in a modern "hello world" React app there are 20k files of dependencies installed out-of-the-box, with 900+ packages pulled from NPM. Good luck doing a security audit on that.

And we probably wouldn't have "awesome" lists of only the 2000 most important things you need to know to be a modern web dev, either.
I thought it was going to be some sort of farming iron man.
You need to distinguish between two very different things. In vote result manipulation, a single actor can modify votes wholesale. In voter fraud, an individual who shouldn't vote does, or pretends to be other people and votes multiple times.

The risk of the former is huge and hard to detect. The latter, despite claims the contrary from certain news outlets and Presidents, is actually extraordinarily rare.

Voter ID cards are claimed to address the second issue, even though they actually alienate far more legitimate voter than fraudulent votes.
None of these 'hacks' work because almost all involve putting something on your face or your head.

I think the holy grail would be if someone comes up with a tiny device that you can wear on your ear, or around your neck, that emits something invisible and that which only obscures cameras.

That way, the humans interacting with other humans in public are not looking like clowns in makeup and having normal interactions, while obscuring and befuddling the big-brother cameras.

I tried to research this in 2015 and was told about infra-red ray emitters. Not sure if there's any truth to it, or if it's even possible. If any of you have made any progress on this and would like to collaborate, please contact me. Email in bio.
It's beside the point in the evaluation of unhealthiness. Something making you hungry doesn't make it unhealthy. For people who can drink juice, but not overeat, it poses likely no special threat (and if it does, it will be hard to find that out in the current climate of calling calorie dense foods unhealthy).
Unclear what this is good for.
Honestly, that's what says any employer in any part of the world. I am currently in a SW-EU state and I hear the same exact words every day, and here the work market is far more heavy regulated and taxed.

A very well thought out and articulated article.

I love Rails and the power it offers in development productivity and quality. It's code is very maintainable and actually enjoyable to develop in; even when it's someone elses codebase.

Oddly enough, I finally came upon a use case in a project where an SPA frontend (Vue) / ruby backend make more sense given the platform nature and operational needs (runs on a pi, no "models")

9/10 Rails is the way to go though for developing something.

It's not like they immediately revoke your passport as soon as the IRS decides that you owe them money. You need to get a lien or levy against you. People who are contesting the debt either administratively or in court or who have a payment agreement with the IRS can still get a passport.

The State Department can also bypass the rule for emergencies or humanitarian reasons and will do so to allow someone to return to the US, so it is not possible to be stranded outside of the country because of this.

I live in a small U.S. town. There are not 10K people living within 25 miles of my house. While few here would admit to being rich, people who don't live here might see them as pretty well off. There is probably something close to 1 car per capita. That includes infants. If you throw in motorcycles, four-wheelers, tractors, loaders, golf carts, boats, jet skis, snowmobiles, personal fork-lifts, etc. we have to go well above 1 vehicle per capita.

Still, there are many functioning people here who do not own a single vehicle.

That doesn't make them poor or stupid or government-dependent.

Your ignorance and prejudice are undermining your ability to mount a convincing argument. I happen to think that a voter ID is not an unacceptable idea. But I run across so many people who seem to mount the kinds of uninformed arguments that you have here. These arguments scare me. They make me worry about the capacity of our society to enact a reasonable voter ID program. It seems like it should be so simple. Then I read the thinking of people like you and worry that it will be botched.

Let's assume you eat the same amounts. It makes a difference if you eat in the morning or in the evening. If you eat very late most likely you won't digest as well and you will gain weight.

You will always lose weight on a deficit but depending on when you eat the amount for a deficit will be different.

Same for the type of food. From my own observation I will gain weight if I eat only a few pretzels daily even if everything else is the same. I assume they cause my digestive system to lose efficiency.

I federal id card is a political non-starter in the US because of a a bunch of reasons.
First the federal government currently lacks infrastructure to issue IDs effectively. The states handle drivers licenses at DMV which handle a lot of stuff besides just issuing IDs, building separate federal systems would be a large undertaking.

The REAL ID act which was an attempt to create a federal ID managed by the states was passed in 2005 by is still not implemented because many states simply refuse to comply with the law some have even passed laws that prevent the state from complying with the law. The federal government lacks a way to force a majority of the sates to comply with it's will (see marijuana laws). And states don't want a federal id.

Flockport uses a standard networking bridge served by a Dnsmasq instance that all containers connect to. They all get their IP by DHCP unless you set static IPs and can be discovered by their name on local systems.

The DB command basically rolls out a fresh Mysql or Postgresql container instance and sets up the databases. The discovery happens over dns.

From the article:

> In my favorite of these studies, children were divided into two groups. All of them were given a sugar-free beverage to drink. But half the parents were told that their child had just had a drink with sugar. Then, all of the parents were told to grade their children’s behavior. Not surprisingly, the parents of children who thought their children had drunk a ton of sugar rated their children as significantly more hyperactive. This myth is entirely in parents’ heads. We see it because we believe it.
Is there any reason for a voting system to ever be connected to the internet? (I assume this system is, because I can't think of any other attack vectors that enable the reported volume of "hacking attempts".)
> when using Entity Framework or the Mongo linq driver? They would both give you the same result but one is much more efficient.

The competent developer with knowledge of systems know that the first step when using any form of ORM or sql generation tool is to figure out how to look at generated queries.

Also in that particular example, you're dealing with a reasonably common concept across all languages (generators). While LINQ works by letting you introspect the AST and its a reasonably unique concept, when looking at the snippets here it actually doesn't matter if you don't know that: in basically any data structure manipulation code, doing a data structure conversion followed by a predicate operation is almost always a mistake, because the whole point of "toSomething()" functions is to go from the specialized domain into the language's generic's constructs. LINQ is a particularly accessible implementation of concepts that are age old. The Rx family of tools (which do exist in java) follow similar semantics, and then most ecosystems have very similar constructs even outside of RxWhatever.

Those fundamentals won't let you figure out edge cases, but they're pretty easy to pick up once you get it. The system building aspect is what takes a lot of experience to catch. Other examples would involve how to debug a server's memory dump: it's very different between C++ and .NET, but very few people know how to do it in EITHER environments, while anyone who knows how to do it in one can pick it up in another by skimming a blog post in the middle of an outage.

Probably a reason why people should learn Category Theory too. Not quite the same thing, but it would help people make more solid assumptions.
The combination of portability (at least the handheld devices) and the fact that many of the devices are owned by kids increases the chance that a device will be lost or broken, requiring replacement. Just like cell phones.

Ask HN: How do I cope with being a young diabetic?
I am in early twenties, I had difficulties with choosing a major (my mother forced me to choose a major) this lead to three years wasted at college without advancing and needing to change major to Compsci and by then I discovered that I can't change my major anymore and my only solution (at the moment) was to go to private school and I couldn't afford that.My mother explained that she forced to choose that major so I can be near (a very dump explanation) this lead to fights with her and a lot of stress and this led to me getting diabetes type 2 (and because of bad diet too).I am in a very position now: I can't handle stress the way a healthy person does.I can't do any high stress stuff (starting a startup, handle corporate culture).I tried freelancing but clients are very cheap.
How can I cope with this (feeling of being disadvantaged)?
For HNers with medical conditions that can't tolerate stress: how do you handle it?

> Voter ID cards are historically used to

I'm so sick of this excuse. The correct response is "... so let's not do that this time, mkay?" Specifically, make them absolutely free-as-in-beer and only require minimal time and effort to obtain (benchmark: proof of address is too much effort). You do this explicitly on the basis that voting is a universal right and requiring money for it is abhorrent, as is any other obstacle not strictly required for ensuring uniqueness.

Now you can also get rid of the half-assed national ID system comprised by our driver's licenses, state IDs, etc. And the people who want to use voter IDs to disenfranchise people have to shut up because you've addressed their supposed point.

Get it over with, already.

Some quick research tells me:

Arduino: 8 million instructions per second

IBM System/4 Pi: 480,000 instructions per second
If such a card existed, it would be reasonable to require it for voting, however, there is no such card, so that is irrelevant until such time as one is created and rolled out to the entire country.
