How are they getting over the $15k gift limit for federal taxation?

If the dude can’t cough up $10k for a $375k house, he has no business being in that house. I wonder if these mortgages are ARMs, or > 30 years.
I haven't bought 1Blocker X, but I bought the previous version, and I had endless problems, mostly with it breaking websites, and failing to block obvious ads. 1Blocker X came out as a paid upgrade while the previous version was still broken, so I refused to use it.

I got the free version of AdGuard, which just creates a plain Safari content filter from DNSBL lists you specify yourself, and it works great. Very happy.
Context. Canadian dollars use $ too, and you only see CAD near the border or when it isn’t clear. If I’m a Colombian using a Colombian site and pesos use $, I don’t need the context. Also, properly, you’d say 5 USD, not USD $5; the dollar sigil is then redundant.

There’s a bit of americentrism down the confusing line of thought, for what it’s worth.
Can you explain to me what you think “translate this dynamically typed program into a statically typed one” means as concerns your fragment of pseudocode? And are you assuming that the “halts” function is a halting oracle?
I agree there are certainly systemic issues that inflate prices beyond the reach of most Bay Area residents. However, first time home buyers are probably buying something cheaper than median. With dual tech income and no dependents, it’s certainly still possible to buy a condo or townhouse without family money.

Not at all, the royal family in Sweden doesn't have more power than any other celebrity. Though the king has parliamentary immunity (that be said the consequences of obvious wrongdoing would be swift and severe).

Sure, the king is also a military general. But as with everything about the royal family it is mostly ceremonial.

That’s a great idea if you want to live in one of the four states that have some cities with rent control.

As opposed to the entire United States where you can get a fixed rate mortgage and only have to worry about slight fluctuations in property taxes and insurance.

Right, no way they avoid prosecution via political/other blackmail, due to the fact that they have all the toys. Blame it on the R and D politicians.
You should try DNS66 [0], which does not require root. It acts as a VPN on Android and returns 0.0.0.0 when any app tries to resolve the IP address of an ad-serving domain. Other network traffic passes through unmodified, so it's very battery friendly.

The app is also available from Fdroid [1]. It isn't available from the Play Store, since Google has banned ad blockers.

This is a very common path taken in India.

Engineer > 1 - 4 years experience in IT/Engineering etc > 2 Year MBA from a reputed college > Management role in related or a completely different field.

There is a general consensus in India that engineers can be groomed to be good managers. No idea why.

One more aspect to consider is that qualifying exams for top-tier MBA colleges in India (IIM's, etc) are somehow cracked more easily by engineers. Of course there are students from commerce / arts / etc that also crack and top these exams, but the trend till date is it's mostly engineers.

Also most of the top Indian guys in Silicon Valley (Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, etc) have are engineers from some of the top engineering colleges in India.
Does this hold up though?

The PQ algorithms are only adding anything in scenarios where real adversaries can run quantum algorithms to break public key crypto. In those scenarios you don't have worthwhile authentication in WireGuard itself because your adversary broke that with their quantum computer.

The claim of "forward secrecy" seems particularly dubious when resorting to PSKs. Forward secrecy relies upon keys being ephemeral. The PSKs a TLS 1.3 web server remembers for minutes or hours automatically to support fast session resumption maybe count; some semi-detached manual PQ key agreement procedure sounds like it'll get done once and then left in place, no forward secrecy there.
The moving fast breaking things guy came from the east coast.
Well, if peoples' reason is perfect, than it is a superior way of making decisions. I'd certainly like it to be the case that we could do that.

However, one thing we might take away from your claim that "wired to thing about ourselves and our close tribe before anything else" is this:

If people are motivated to come up with an incorrect decision, then reason can often give people a mistaken sense that they are being ration, when in fact they are using a rather large set of tools to get their preferred answer.
Well, I account for at least 6 of them.
Could that be the size of some internal cpu cache/register/internal bank of memory? (not sure how properly describe it)
It’s a library so either they need to be convinced to provide definitions or the community needs to be convinced to build them. But at the point that they are built it’s no different than anything else in your stack.
To be fair it was well couched with words like “maybe”
and “possible... could be...” which are normally well understood as up front markers that the ideas presented are mere speculation. It is a bit out there but it’s an interesting line of inquiry.

why?

and just to clarify my why, it really bothers me that people who do python tend to only want to do python, as if it's some advanced, modern language and the only choice for doing code if you don't like c# or java or c++. it's well over two decades old, which isn't a problem in and of itself, but python ignored and has continued to ignore better programming language designs both before and after it was created. how about you learn something new, and just use a lisp or scheme, just as the course and book does, like racket? and if one doesn't want to use a lisp or scheme, then an ml language like sml, f#, or ocaml would be the next best choice.

python is a scripting language. it should have stayed that way, but instead, it's used to build large systems and to teach programming to people. it's a real shame.

and to conclude, the entire point of SICP is that you don't need much of a language. all you need is a small collection of fundamental ideas in your language. and as it turns out, python does not even have those.
Tonight I successfully upgraded my home router from LEDE 17.0.4 to OpenWRT 18.06. I was somewhat surprised that I didn't even need to reconfigure. As an OpenWRT user for about 10 years, I've appreciated its reliability as a primary home router, as well as the ability to repurpose inexpensive consumer routers into wired or wireless network appliances. It's been a useful and enjoyable Linux distro for me.
I have a desktop with an intel 3570k bought in 2012, I wanted to build a new gaming desktop with a ryzen 2700x.

The ryzen is only 20% better in single threaded performance. I could easily overclock my cpu to close further the gap. Just need to upgrade my gpu and I'm good for a few more years. These cpus have aged quiet well.
What drove me to buy was incredibly noisy new upstairs neighbours, the near bottom of the local real estate market in 2011, and the ability to scrape together a minimum down payment out of my savings.

Were it not for the conjunction of those three suns, I might still be in my tiny apartment. I'm very glad I'm not.
There's no inherent reason that the whole life cycle can't be handled in a single tool. However, there have been tens of thousands of person-years spent on these tools, so people here are pointing out that it is a tall ask for any company to create one tool that integrates everything. This goes doubly so if it is only going to be a side project to GitLab itself.

I'm hoping this is sarcasm.
"Emotional" in this context is generally understood as "appealing to the audience's emotions."

Displaying anger at your audience may not be convincing, but if you want your audience to be angry about something else, then displaying the anger you want them to share can be quite effective.
> Gigafactory 1 battery production reached an annualized run rate of roughly 20 GWh

Kind of interesting...the typical laptop has a 50 Wh battery, and there are about 160 million laptop sales per year. A typical smartphone has a 5 Wh battery and there are about 1.5 billion smartphones sales per year. So that one factory makes just about enough batteries for all the laptops and smartphones.
Yes. I WOULD say that a crazy heist is more "interesting" than having them on public display.

And yes, it IS "hilarious".

Our modern entertainment is filled will movies, ect about crazy heists.

Crazy crimes can also be funny an entertaining. And nobody's feelings are being hurt because people think it is interesting.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I would love to hear feedback on how the SICP course is. It looks like his classes are in person only which is unfortunate for those not in the US I guess.
i certainly agree there is plenty of systematic elitism out there in the world, but i don't think problem set vs. homework plays a part. haha.

Post claims breach of 850k military based job seekers from recruitmilitary.com
apparently the $ sign has its origins in the spanish Peso, where the p and s were gradually being merged together in abbreviations.

futhermore the US Dollar itself stems from the Spanish Dollar:

"The U.S. dollar was directly based on the Spanish Milled Dollar when, in the Coinage Act of 1792, the first Mint Act, its value was fixed [..] as being "of the value of a Spanish milled dollar as the same is now current
If the day comes where I can’t find any software development jobs - including contract work anywhere in my large metropolitan area (not Silicon Valley) and cant find remote work, I’ve got bigger issues.

Major corporations that still needed development were still hiring here both in 2000 and during the recession. They could be a lot pickier between 2008-2011 and a lot were hiring contractors.

My house (brand new build 2 years ago) has a mortgage that’s less than a quarter of my take home pay. I could get a job paying $30K less and still be okay - and my salary is just about the median for my skill level, nothing special.
The crowdfunded aspect is interesting, and I like how the total value crowdfunded (i.e. the total bounty pot or pool) is displayed. That could serve as powerful signal to attract bounty hunters.

That said, as a non-coder but an avid bounty setter and bounty hunter on beta.cent.co, I am wondering if there aren't any other UX tweaks that could be employed on BountyGraph to either attract and keep more bounty hunters or participating corporate users/funders or both.

Specifically, the social aspect that Cent facilitates has resulted in a very interesting general community that also functions as an army of on-demand bounty hunters. I imagine something similar but tailored to the technical bounty hunters your site will need could be spun up at a cost to be sure, but a relatively small one compared to the value that attracting such an army of bounty hunters could generate.
Basic metrics around platform API calls would have done the trick, no need for fancy container solutions.

edit: I would have also assumed they would get this for free from GCP's billing breakdown, but I'm not familiar with it. My first intuition when facing unexpected billing would be to figure out what the major contributor to the bill is (in this case, massive reads from FireStore), not update my frontend packages.

You are the first Flink user I have come across! Could you briefly explain why it is so compelling over its competitors?
Correct. They had it first, which is why I lightly check the “they use $ too? That’s confusing.” sentiment.

The Dutch, ever innovative in trade, can lay claim as a bigger influence on the word “dollar” and the currency form itself, however, and colonial Americans traded regularly in Dutch daalders (we still pronounce it that way, unlike doh-LAHR/doh-LAHR-ehss for the Spanish varieties). Daalders themselves were descendants of Bohemian thalers, as were Spanish dollars. We just borrowed the neighboring dollars when the time came, probably due to our foreign policy environment at the time, trade with Florida, and so on.

As far as I know, except for a guest account, there's no local account on Neverware, so you'll need a Google account to use it, which is unfortunate.
I also bought this audiobook and just started it. Finished the first chapter. I found it a bit difficult to follow the format with so many quotes though. Is the rest of the book structured like the first chapter?
This is a commmon misconception: there is no $15k gift limit. There is a $15k annual exclusion of gifts that do not need to be reported. If you want to gift more than that, you simply file a form and the excess about the annual exclusion counts against your lifetime exclusion. The lifetime exclusion in 2017 was $5.49M (if you're married it effectively doubles). Oh and as of 2018 it is now $11.18M thanks to the tax "reform" bill.
>I cannot think of a single AAA title in recent memory that causes my i7 2600k -- an 8 year old CPU -- to struggle

I cannot think of any modern, graphically demanding game which is bottlenecked by the CPU. I imagine you are harming your GPU performance to some degree with such an old CPU though. Not sure I buy what you're saying here. What settings are you using?
That jumped out at me too.

Obviously they were under a lot of pressure and it's easy to stand here and criticise, but...

...if my site is slowing down with load or usage, I'm not sure how you make the jump to "I should update my UI libraries!". Angular 4 isn't getting any slower, so best case is you've got some unknown performance bottleneck in your UI that is somehow causing 30s page load times, and which just happens to be fixed in Angular 6, and you don't accidentally add any new issues when you upgrade.

Conversely, it feels like if you're struggling with "slow load times" on a SPA, the first thing you'd do is open the network tab and see what requests are being made, to what, how often, and how long they're taking.

Grasping at straws does seem to be the right metaphor. (Or maybe the old chestnut about the drunk dropping his car keys in a dark parking lot, then looking for them under a streetlight, since it's too dark to find them in the parking lot?)

I'm happy for the team and it sounds like things are going great for them, but wow, that was an almost fatal bit of blindness. On the plus side, I bet everyone involved will check for inefficient database calls first next time. :)
I think the letter was written by someone else - the only part by Marie Antoinette being the rather less attractive signature.
"article" ?
"This means that every session to our site read the same number of documents as we have of number of payments. #UnaVacaPorDeLaCalle received more than 16,000 supporters, so: 2 million sessions x 16,000 documents = more than 40 Billion requests to Firestore on less than 48 hours."

TLDR;
Horrible architecture decisions like this can be very costly.
