When the father of a friend retired and cleaned out his office, I ended up with Multiplan manual. It's kind of funny, because I have never used Multiplan or even seen it run, and these days I find myself swearing at Microsoft for not providing decent manuals (or any manuals at all) for many of their products. And one day, I might even read that thing, just because I can. ;-)

Apple gave $100 million directly to city council members and no one batted an eyelid? Or did they give $100 million to the city? Those two things are very different accusations.
Entitled to a house? No - I grew up poor, man. My single mom of 4 made less than $8,000 many years (Bet you didn’t know that, as recent as 25 years ago, some Americans still didn’t have bathrooms and full electricity). No, in my family, it was unusual to own a real house (as opposed to a mobile house). I had no entitlement.

But, I also grew up in a place where real houses cost $25-40k. So, I’m a way, yes, I had some expectation that if I got a STEM degree, I’d be able to afford a house. But, a $300k house? No - where I grew up, that wasn’t even a thing.

Exactly. This part of C++ always felt experimental to me--something that was plausible to try but ended up digging a hole with a lot more complexity than the language designers perhaps intended.
I read this book. Their evidence seems pretty strong.
I don't even mind a city competing on that field if they want to do so. My issue is when cities compete on that field with state money ala Racine-Foxconn. So now Pardeeville, which has problems of its own, is on the hook to subsidize jobs for a bunch of illinois guys who will be taking the train in to Racine every morning.

That's not cool.

But yeah, if Racine County wanted to come up with the 4 billion on their own, that would be a whole different story.

The "second alternative" makes a lot of sense, but building a startup ecosystem is a difficult, long-term play involving a ton of variables.

You need universities driving research and producing competent technical graduates; you need to foster a entrepreneurial attitude and provide resources (accelerators, mentors, office space, etc) to would-be companies; you need a source of capital to fund these companies.

And then you wait for these companies to grow.

Courting a single, large entity is a lot simpler: they tell you what the want; you give it to them; jobs. That's a much easier sell for politicians and local governments. You'd need decades of cooperation between incoming and outgoing politicians to build a successful startup ecosystem.

My understanding of these routers is that the gigabit switch is independent from the router. They're physically on the same board but the router is just another machine on the switch. If the switch table says portA->portB it doesn't matter what the router on portC has decided to offload or not.

Edit: Maybe you mean Wifi to wired may have a disabled offload? That path does go through the router and not directly through the switch. For bigger installations I end up having one of these with wifi disabled as the router (firewall, dhcp, etc) and individual ones connected through ethernet as dumb access points (same SSID on all and straight bridge from Wifi to Ethernet). That should also avoid any issues and is a good setup to get more wifi coverage with a simple config.
Do you know anything about this project or is this just a generic diatribe?

I was hoping to hear about his opinions of the shortcomings of KiCAD and where LibrePCB improves on them. It would certainly help someone like me decide whether to fund him on Patreon or not, seeing as I've donated to CERN for KiCAD development.

It’s interesting because the exact opposite argument was used to justify the direct election of US Senators. It used to be that the Senate represented the interests of states, elected by state governments. But then someone had the idea that the US Senate should represent individuals rather than the states (despite the existence of the House of Represenatives which was created for representation of individuals.)

Of course you can vote out your MP, however there is a calculus at play: your MP might be great at the local issues, but then they may support a European rep that is not as good. It would be much better if the EU were directly accountable to the people upon whom they inflict their decrees.
If the book addresses human fundamentals instead of transient silliness, it can last forever. The Count of Monte Cristo (1844), Heart of Darkness (1899) and Jane Eyre (1847) are still relevant and enjoyable, for example.
Indeed. My understanding of LINQ is that a where clause, for example, creates a matching clause in the SQL it generates, so the database only fetches the elements that you want. In contrast, the Java solution seems to "select *" in SQL then iterate over the results in the application itself.
A two-bedroom house around the corner from me in Oakland, barely larger than 1,000 square feet, just sold for $1,175,000. But what's even crazier is the Prop 13 assessment on this house.

It last sold in 1977 for $30,500. Over the last 40 years, climbing at 2% a year as allowed by Prop 13, it's current assessed value is $60,716, nearly 20X under its actual market value!

This past year, the owners paid $1,857.78 in property taxes: $724.40 in ad valorem tax at a rate of 1.3486% and $1,133.38 in fixed parcel taxes. The new owners will pay $16,979.43 in property taxes, with $15,846.05 due to the ad valorem portion. That's 9X the previous owner, which works out to $1,414.95 a month in taxes!

And the old owners were probably angry about the increasing fixed portion, which went from $548.28 in 2005, to $1,133.38 this past year, and which for them makes up the bulk of their property taxes.

When you look at the actual, concrete numbers, it really is mind-boggling. Prop 13 aside, this house has appreciated 40x in 40 years, only 4x of which is due to inflation. Do you think the new owners will see another 10x in real returns over the next 40 years? Will the sales price in 2058 really be $45 million dollars? Somehow, I doubt it.

That's... the whole point of ownership. You can prevent all your neighbors from chopping down the nice shade tree in your front yard, and dragging it away for lumber or firewood.

The issue at hand is that if you do not pay property taxes, the government will take ownership of the land away from you. That undermines the ownership. (So does eminent domain and civil asset forfeiture.) The ability to keep out everybody except the government is still useful, but not nearly as valuable, since anyone that really wants to take something from you can just use the government to do it.

There are other sticks available to encourage people to contribute money to their communities. You could still assess someone's taxes based on the value of their land property, but rather than take the property, you cut off its access to municipality services. If you don't pay your vehicle tax, you don't lose your whole car, you just lose your license plate and the ability to drive your vehicle on public roads. Similarly, if you don't pay the property tax, maybe you lose the ability to connect to local utilities and make use of public services. Cops and firefighters charge fees to come to your property. Public schools charge your kids tuition to attend. Perhaps the city won't enforce street parking restrictions at the end of your driveway, and starts leaving the roadkill cleanup truck there. Or maybe the city just publishes a list of non-payers, and local businesses start refusing you service. Most critically, the local cops won't help you defend your property ownership.

The problem isn't that property taxes exist, it's what happens if you don't pay them. If the actual result for not paying property tax is identical to a landlord evicting a non-paying tenant, the actual relationship to the property is not ownership.
WSJ: Why Are There So Many Robocalls?  What You Can Do About Them
I think your point about operations and verification is spot on. However, it’s worth noting that Japan (less familiar with other countries) has tremendous cultural advantages over the US when it comes to privatizing infrastructure. Punctuality, cleanliness, attention to detail, engineering prowess, safety, collectivism — many things that lend themselves to a well-functioning transit system — are all deeply interwoven into Japanese history and culture in a way that is difficult to imagine being the case in America. Which isn’t to say that it couldn’t be successful here, but it’s not an equivalent set of circumstances.
Does syntactic sugar have to be that strictly limited? If we are allowed to manipulate the statement block containing the sugared expression, we could define a trivial helper function which performs the 'nonlocal' side-effect and returns the value. Then, replace the "x := y" with "helper(y)".

Don't debit cards give much of the same benefits for both parties as CCs, and aren't they much cheaper to process? I know sometimes their can be a buyer fee associated with a debit card but I've never had one that did. My bank card can be used as either. I use debit when given the option specifically because I thought it was cheaper for sellers in most cases.
Reminds me of US cities funding oligarch owned sport team new stadium fiascos that occur every few years. Oligarch organization gets massive tax breaks and subsidies then holds city to ransom threatening to move the team to another city that is dangling incentives.

The premise is usually jobs, local pride and prestige...and it usually ends really badly for the locals...
You do not "lose" when you sell in California, you collect gains and reset your cost basis. No different than collecting gains on a stock and buying another stock.

There is nothing requiring you to move into a property with higher taxes - you could substantially downsize or leave the state entirely.

Even if your costs and mortgage become more expensive, the tax system is still there to benefit you. The tax system will always reward home ownership. By time you are on your third house you will be paying cash, so even mortgage issues will go away. I don't know anyone on their third property who has a huge mortgage...maybe a small supplemental one but that is about it.

Not sure what the "barriers" to selling are...a good realtor will cover those details for you and in most parts of California, your house will sell very quickly, my last sale was less than ten days, about the same amount of time most renters probably spend looking for a new place.
If your only issue was the unlikeable "antihero" protagonist, then maybe? Most of his characters tend to be, at best, morally ambiguous. I know I said so in the previous comment, but Player of Games isn't too bad - the protagonist isn't really a good guy, but he's also not an amoral killer-for-hire.

Excession might be a better bet, although a lot of the novel basically consists of reading emails between characters.

According to their own accounts, they have not taken any venture capital or loans. And they say they're donating to NGOs on a regular basis. I could also imagine that users' deposits are invested. (They use a pre-paid model, and e.g. I always send 25 or 50 euros at a time when recharging my Posteo account. An average of maybe 5 euros times 50,000 users is a quarter million in free cash.)

> In my opinion this kind of "extreme speech" should rarely be taken literally

That's what surrogates said about donald trump before the election. The muslim ban was just hyperbole. Then he got elected, and people were getting detained at the airport.

Now I'm not naive, and I know that some of the outrageous speech of online trolls is just for show. The problem is, you can't detect sarcasm online. White supremacist groups are actively recruiting on chan boards. You can't say it's all just a joke.
Sugar obviously does not require some automatic language translation. It just means that in all cases a human can rewrite it without the new syntax and get the same semantics.

Unless you can provide an example where that isn't true, it's just sugar, i.e. unneeded, but maybe desired, syntax.

> Everyone repeats "only optimize after profiling". It's true: if your program is running too slowly, you should always profile. But that rule only applies when your code is already slow. It doesn't actually say anything about the rest of the development process.

Except for unusually throwaway or easy to make fast enough projects, software should also be profiled when it runs fast, before there are performance problems.

Profiling the application from the beginning ensures readiness when profiling is urgently needed, provides a reference point for what good performance looks like, and most importantly allows easy and early detection of performance mistakes and regressions, which can be troublesome and expensive in the long run, growing into "deep systemic issues" even if they are harmless when they first appear.

Amtrak takes about an hour from downtown Chicago (with its swath of luxury high rises) to Sturtevant station, nearly adjacent to the Foxconn site. Future upgrades conceivably will make it even faster (the track is so straight trains uses to go 100 mph between Chicago and Milwaukee before modern signal requirements limited speed to 79mph). You could also take Amtrak from downtown Milwaukee, but it isn't as well-developed and the two-body problem common for high-level employees is better solved in Chicago (more white-collar employment).
Except for the Green Bay Packers - the city owns the Packers, and it seems to be doing well(?). I'm not sure, but there at least isn't uncertainty about whether they'll stick around or not.

I own one of these as my personal laptop. I pretty much agree with this review. Unless you care about more niche things like coreboot, there is nothing really special about the laptop. There is nothing really bad about it, either. It meets my practical needs, and I am happy to support the limited market of more-"free" hardware.

I have not tried to use PureOS. As soon as I received it, I tried to install Qubes OS, but I was not successful. I ended up installing Debian stable, which has been my OS of choice for many years. I have not had any hardware support issues so far on Debian.
What does that mean? Maybe it's that English is my second language? I would interpret it as, "if you really want to come here and show that to us, then we will decrease your chance of succeeding".

>I don't even mind a city competing on that field if they want to do so.

I think you should since it's fundamentally distortive of the market. While a few giant corporations who are going to get the mayor and some council member's names splashed across the paper get billion dollar deals the rest of the employers in the area don't - it's an unfair competitive advantage.

There's two marketplaces at work here. One is with cities as atomistic units competing amongst themselves for jobs and the other is within cities with businesses competing amongst each other (on multiple dimensions.) Right now we corrupt both, the proper solution is to corrupt neither and that requires entirely ending these tax deals.
> Don't confuse your opinion with what is "best" or "most effective" for most people, even developers and those ultra-familiar with the terminal.

I am not stating an opinion. I am making a judgement. I can do that because I have the requisite knowledge and experience. You do not - as you yourself stated, you "don't want to spend time configuring or fixing [your] email solution." (another tell-tale sign is referring to "the terminal.") Stop trying to make virtue out of your choice to be ignorant. Stating that most people will prefer GUIs is not an argument for anything ("X is popular" is never a good argument for anything) - most people have not had any exposure to alternatives like text-based tools and therefore cannot have any meaningful or informed opinion on the matter, which you pretend to do. Your choice to be ignorant of something does not entitle you to make judgement calls about the things you are ignorant about. You can say "X is difficult to learn/do" (true), but when you argue that "X is an inferior tool" with someone that has some expertise in the subject and in X, you just come across as a fool.
