I'd look at it more as:

The current power structure in the US believes tax cuts are always a good thing, since they put money back in the hands of individuals and companies, who will then allocate that money more efficiently than the government. They argue that with their tax breaks, companies will invest in capital improvements and raises for their workers, and individuals will spend more on consumer goods, indirectly benefiting the average worker by creating more demand for such goods.

The reality is companies that get tax breaks now use that money to do stock buybacks which pay off mostly already-wealthy investors, and the prime direct individual beneficiaries of tax cuts also are already-wealthy people, who then use their double windfall (lower tax rate + buyback profits) to throw even more money into playing the markets.

And somehow the promised benefits, of raises for workers, increased demand for the average worker's labor, etc. never actually materialize.

There are good charts floating around showing how corporate behavior has been pretty much entirely driven by the last few decades of tax policy, primarily the reduction of corporate and top individual rates, and how the changes in behavior have almost universally made economic inequality in the US much much worse than it previously was (see, for example, ballooning executive compensation while average workers' wages are stagnant or even lower than previously when adjusted for inflation, the complete decoupling of wages from productivity, etc. etc.).

No. Whatever you stick in the install= file will run as root at install time. If you're using an AUR helper/running `makepkg -i`, the PKGBUILD absolutely can run code as root, without waiting for you to interact with the installed program. Installing a package from a PKGBUILD is no more or no less "powerful" to an attacker than `make && sudo make install`.
Consider N agents, each with initial equal capital C. At every beat of the clock, each agent gives 1 unit of capital to a random other agent (or does nothing if their capital is zero). After running the simulation for a certain amount of time, the wealth distribution is exponential.

I would feel less intellectually dishonest if plain text were unaffected (but the country in question were simply removed from the spelling suggestions), and if the Emoji were replaced with a hyperlinked reference and some kind of 'censored' emoji instead. The reference should be to a page explaining that in compliance with (links to guidelines / official diplomatic requests here) content that is required to be censored by the regulating authorities in a given region has been redacted.
I'll second the sibling comment about the original AWK book (The AWK Programming Language).

I'd also suggest just using it more. If you find yourself wanting to use grep, cut or sed (especially if you need more than one!) for a one-liner, try using awk instead, if only for the practice. Once you're accustomed to some of the idioms, simplicity, and built-in looping, it will feel like a more natural, casual text-processing tool that you'd reach for automatically.

Lastly, search for "cookbooks" or libraries or other collections of useful scripts to see how others have used the language, in more advanced ways. Personally, I don't necessarily find it as something to aspire to (i.e. use of the language for complex, multi-line programs) as much as a way to better understand some of the power of the quirkier features that may, otherwise, be less obvious.

One of my favorite non-obvious behaviors is bypassing the input/loop functionality by having the only pattern be BEGIN. This results in an output-only program that makes for a convenient way of playing around with things like printf or just language syntax features (or differences between awk/mawk/gawk), without having to redirect input from /dev/null or worrying about hitting control-D twice and exiting the shell (for those of us who abhor ignoreeof):

awk 'BEGIN{print "Hello, world!"}'
I disagree. I have been renting in Oxbridge with the grand total of 7 different high street agents: Savills, Bidwells, Cheffins, Parkers, Alistair Redhouse and another I can't remember. They all included this clause. Only Savills and Alistair Redhouse were professional and caused no problems. Savills was actually a pleasure to deal with, but extremely expensive in terms of fees. The fees were clear from the beginning, though.

The others are, as far as I am concerned total scammers. I won 3/3 cases in the Ombudsman, so I say this for a reason. Cheffins went as far as taking all my deposit to cover some debt the landlord had with them. And of course they didn't tell me. Simply no reply, no deposit. Even the Property Ombudsman freaked out.
> Detroit could be forced to sell off highways and if GM's financing division bought one as an investment

This is completely analogous to the current issue, just an iteration or two behind. Detroit should be incapable of "selling off highways", as they're public property built out with public money. "Detroit" is a force monopoly that purported to steward public money for public works, not a free enterprise that took private investment to improve private property. An [inherently temporary] politician purporting to represent Detroit while selling off assets for short-term balance sheet boosts is in violation of the public trust and therefore has no actual authority to contract.

All of these communication companies used to fall under the purview of regulated utilities, and were built out using public subsidies. They've lobbied to escape the regulatory regime, and are now playing the "muh propertuh" card with public infrastructure that they essentially embezzled from the public.

If big ISP wishes offer only curated media services instead of general communications, they can easily divest their holdings of this inappropriately-titled public infrastructure to another company which can then carry their traffic non-exclusively.

Maybe if companies gave sufficient raises and promotions, and actually tried to retain talent, then we wouldn't have this culture where people keep having to switch jobs, and therefore always be looking out for what will get them the next gig.
Not really needed. Birth rates need to be at 2.1 births per woman for a population to not contract. Nearly every industrial nation has fallen below that. Over the next few decades (up to a century), most of the world will likely be there. With increased urbanization, the problem will eventually be a continually contracting population.

Just to emphasize how little AUR is supported by Arch:

Even the 'AUR helpers' aren't part of the normal Arch repositories. So if you wan't a less manual access to the AUR you have to install such a program manually.

And the Arch Wiki states:

Warning: AUR helpers are not supported by Arch Linux. It is recommended to become familiar with the manual build process in order to be prepared to troubleshoot problems on one's own. [1]

Quick Tips to Transition from .Net Framework to .Net Core
No, this kind of thing is ruled out by the protocol. There's a theorem called "monogamy of entanglement" which means that two maximally entangled qubits can't also be entangled (or even correlated) with a third. This means that Alice and Bob can guarantee that the key they're agreeing on wasn't intercepted. The theoretical argument is airtight. It doesn't rely on any assumptions about the adversary's computing power, or on whether the adversary has access to a quantum computer. The only way it fails is if physics works significantly differently to how we think it does.

Of course there can still be implementation errors or attacks at the endpoints. The strength of the chain is the strength of the weakest link. But the abstract protocol itself is a very strong link.

Patents cover stuff that is already invented and put into public use. How does that go against natural learning/discovery?

A complete Windows tablet/ultrabook does exist around that price point - I got a refurbished Samsung Galaxy TabPro S Gold for $525 shipped last August. It's got 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, the only real thing that differentiated it from the more expensive devices out there is the 0.9Ghz m3 CPU. It included the keyboard cover.

FWIW, I haven't used it since I bought a 6th-gen iPad with LTE. It suits that role better for me.

Assuming Twitter mutuals means "users I follow and who follow me back", I'd like to recommend the great `t` gem, a Ruby CLI that even though it's a bit dated, is still one of the easiest tools to setup and use on a regular basis:

https://github.com/sferik/t

Gathering mutuals in CSV format (making it easy to sort by number of followers, tweets, location, etc) is as easy as:

$ t friends --csv > my-twitter-mutuals.csv

It's been awhile since I've looked at the source code, but the library does a good job of using the most efficient/least-restrictive calls. I have about 6,000 mutuals out of all my followers and folllowings and the `t` tool takes about 10 seconds to do all the calls needed.

If you're using microservices why are you using shared libraries? Wouldn't it make sense to break the common portion into a separate service and define an API for it?

I swear more people writing microservices need to read about flow-based programming and perhaps the actor model.
"We no longer had to deploy 140+ services for a change to one of the shared libraries."

I would be curious as to what the focus and scope of these shared libraries were such that they required frequent updates with cascading side-effects requiring everything that leverages them to have to be updated.
The pharmaceutical industry is usually given as the prime example of an industry where patent protection is necessary; however, this is far from obvious.

It seems to me that if the most talented are the most wealthy (etc. for the remainder of the people), then even if the distributions are not the same, talent can still determine wealth (?)

I don't get it. If you need 0.1mm accuracy, all the machining, on plastic, mind you, must be done to say 0.05mm accuracy, both in position and size. And, it appears that one of the parts registers to the edge of the pc board, which is inaccurate. Since you got it to work, what am I missing here?

Been there. OTOH, my last job was at a startup that used a LAMP stack but made enough money to be self-sufficient and not depend on VC money to keep running.

When the legacy systems started to hurt us (because they were written by the founder in a couple of weeks in the most hacky way), we decided against microservices and went to improve the actual code into something more performing and more maintenable,also moving from PHP5 to PHP7.

As much as we all wanted to go microservices and follow the buzz, we were rational enough to see that it didn't make any sense in our case.
The amount of quantum technology needed for this protocol is much less than a full quantum computer. In fact all you need is fibre optic cable and polarising filters, both of which already exist.
The courts don't review normal business judgements. Even when there is a fiduciary duty. If that wasn't true then no one would want to risk being a officer because they would be constantly getting sued by upset shareholders.

> The courts will defer to erroneous business judgments, provided that the officers or directors did not show gross negligence in their review and decision-making process. Without this rule in place, many individuals would be unwilling to serve as officers and directors and business people might be reluctant to take commercial risks that could benefit a corporation in the long run.

* Predict which action yields the most likes / smiles / upvotes

* Predict which output will have the most citations if it was an article in a scientific journal

According to the WHO (http://www.who.int/en/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/malaria)

* Malaria killed 445,000 people in 2016.

* Of those, 285,000 were children under the age of 5.

* There were 216 million cases of malaria in 2016.

That is a large city's worth of children dying every year, and a large country's population having severely reduced productivity.

And that is just one mosquito born illness.

The guaranteed human and economic benefits of wiping out mosquitoes, far outweigh any theoretical downside.

This group and other groups working to wipe out mosquitoes are truly doing humanity a great service.

Agreed. Ecosystems are a delicate balance. Who knows what chaos will be unleashed by tampering with them? Especially species facilitating horizontal gene transfer. Pathogen vector may be only one of the functions of the mosquito. Perhaps by simply existing and occupying so much of a certain pathway they are keeping other pathogens at bay or preventing other viruses from evolving, perhaps down paths that, after the pressure of not having mosquito as a carrier, selects for more powerful pathogens that can thrive without mosquitoes. Sometimes having a tolerable evil we know is better than one we don't. Perhaps what we are really doing with ending mosquitoes is putting selective pressure on the pathogens formerly carried by them to find innovative, and possibly worse-for-us, ways to evolve and spread.

For tech startups, patents are very important for staking out their product space. Those first 3-10 patents can be critical for funding or exits strategies.

A company that does not have patents around its core technology or products is worth much less than one that does have patents. If your ideas are not worth patenting (e.g., protecting) why should your investors keeping putting money in?

Let's just forget Guantanamo, Iraq, Kuwait, Vietnam, South America, etc. and just focus on the recent border thing, that is way way tamer than what China has done or is doing you know. The truth is there's plenty of guilt to go around many times over probably centuries back in both cases, but let's blame a cellphone company for oppression, that seems logical.

This reminds me of the time when the Taliban were all driving stolen Toyota trucks and congress asked them to explain why they were aiding terrorism. The makers of the automatic rifles they were carrying were never even mentioned of course.
It's happening, though. I think some Chinese car markers are eyeing the international market, while Geely just bought Volvo and is introducing new brands (Polestar, Lynk&Co) on its basis.
I thought Apple was supposed to be the great government-resistant pro-user-rights stronghold.

Why is this code even present on US devices? Is the word "Taiwan" such a bad word in China that, instead of some reasonable action, it crashes the OS? Is the Chinese government so upset about Taiwan they're insisting manufacturers hide the flag from the keyboard?

All aspects of this are mind-boggling.
I've noticed that Splunk tends to be quite crufty and bloated due to it likely just being added to over time, rather than refactored. It can be a pain to work with, especially when it comes to writing custom "apps" and other plugin type scripts for it. The included libraries aren't great and the system takes a fair bit of massaging to get things working at a usable level.

Is Gravwell as extensible, and, if so, is it easier to work with?

Thanks!
That is such a simplistic view of things. Do you think they'd do it if there was another way? At that scale things are not that easy and you can't just break the law even if it feels "right" to you.

Most users are probably never subject to government intervention and they are still protected by the encryption from thiefs, evil ISPs and other bad actors. If Apple would pull out completely and get banned in the country they'd maybe have to switch to other companies that are not that privacy minded.
