Self Employment taxes is one reason I never considered doing side work. Taxes would total almost 50- (Federal 28%, state 6%, SSA 12.4%, Medicare 2.8%).

Now, between the tax cut that makes our marginal tax rate 24%, and that my primary job puts me over the social security maximum, my total taxes would be 32.8%. But I still have a magic number that no one has been willing to reach to make side work worth it for me.
It was the same thing in Sweden during the analog days. But there was only one commercial terrestrial channel so only one channel to obey the rules. Satellite TV (which was quite popular) all broadcasted from the UK so were under UK Ofcom rules instead.

The one analog channel that abided by the rules would get around it for movies by inserting a "news update" in the middle and cramming ads around that.

The rules were relaxed in the digital switchover since it was clear that digital terrestrial would flop if it didn't get some of the satellite channels. Now it appears to be limited to 12 minutes/hour (and no ads targeted at children)

Both Perl and Python are way more complicated than shell programming, and in all my decades of doing so on the command line, I’ve yet to find a problem which a full blown shell + AWK couldn’t solve. And that combination is still simpler to program in than Python or Perl. Had you grown up on a real UNIX, you’d have never written what you wrote.
Exactly. In general, if you do well it means you're probably pretty smart (whether you've memorized or figured it out on the spot). If you don't do well, it just means it's not your type of test most likely. I'd say this creates an opportunity for non-Google like companies to moneyball their teams and get some high quality talent at a discount because they suck at passing the Google filter. If these companies were smart, and considering how much luck is involved in the process anyway, they should look for a different set of criteria to evaluate a candidate on.

>For example during the Obama administration (which increased the use of drone & missile attacks globally) they posted this inditement of the assassination without trial of a teenage American citizen:

Though notably, they called the act a "targeted killing," as calling it an assassination would be accusing them of war crimes. Even the conclusion only condemns the killing of American's without trial, not bombing suspected terrorists without worrying about nearby people.
Those examples should credit Ford and Subway as director. :)

I'm the same. The Netflix version of Black Mirror loses so much impact from the addition of 20 mins of dead filler.

Don't forget overly long and overblown fight and chase scenes that all movies must now have. They just bore me senseless. The first one I saw was fun, probably Blues Brothers, but even back then they were taking the mickey. Never the choreography and humour of Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan. Nowadays at home when a movie starts a fight against the hero, or the car (spaceship) chase I tend to do something else for 5.

Breaking Bad was the best series to come out the US in ages. Even they lost the plot with the insanely long shootout with infinite ammo and insanely bad marksmanship. Thankfully that was a one off so very easy to forgive. :)

Brit series go too far the other way and cram far too much into too few episodes. I've been enjoying Last Kingdom but boy are they spoiling it by cramming two books into every season, with fewer episodes per series compared to the US average.

If you can just win by offering a vehicle like horse cart and keep upgrading it through research and development, adding 1km/hr speed increment every 5 year. Then you'll probably never be able to develop a car because its development requires long term research and development program, even if nothing, atleast a working infrastructure.
The biggest logical flaw here is the assumption that estimation is the most important skill here which isn't the case. Worse yet is it also assumes you already know an approximate answer which bypasses any innovators.

RSA: The more shortcuts you take in your RSA keygen, the more likely it is that an adversary can just guess your keys without (impossibly) trying all the possibilities. This necessarily follows from how such shortcuts work, and should be guarded against in an implementation.

In that sense ROCA is the same as the Debian Weak Keys. And so the Web PKI did the same thing about both, the CA examines the public key, it makes the same determination an attacker would make, but rather than attacking you it rejects your certificate request. You can actually read the code in Boulder (the Let's Encrypt software) to see this in action‡.

If you actually pick random numbers that are roughly the right size, reject composites, and use your random primes to make an RSA key, this method works. But it's slow. And it's obvious that you needn't pick the whole number at random, the bottom bit must be '1' because it's prime. And once you start optimizing you soon have a very complicated key generation which opens lots of opportunities for things to go wrong...

‡ https://github.com/letsencrypt/boulder/pull/3189

Edited to add:

The work that eventually led to ROCA is really fascinating. The researchers spent lots of time characterising RSA key generators. Their first paper is basically "If you show me fifty keys you made, I can guess how you made them" and that's already pretty interesting in some applications. In that work they found that a particular type of key generator was doing something _very strange_ but deadlines are deadlines and so their paper stops at remarking how strange it is. ROCA is basically what they found when they kept investigating.
The problem youtube, facebook and similar companies face is whole orders of magnitude more complicated than policing a game chat. It is, for example, highly unlikely that you will be censuring honest content when you encounter the words 'gas' and 'jews'.

> However it cannot be ignored that it is not just the cost to build that is important but maintenance will be in the billions.

The same argument can be said about roads and ports and airports. Yes, infrastructure requires maintenance. So what?

> With regards to nations who truly have a lot of established high speed rail, while the average Japanese traveler will have nearly two thousand miles of rail travel only about twenty percent is across high speed rail.

I fail to see the relevance of that statement. Yes, nations that have a long railway history still haven't replaced some lines with high-speed lines. So what?

Meanwhile, there are plenty of developed nations that have high-speed railway lines even in old suburban corridors. Yes, people do commute in TGVs every single day. Is that because they are fancy or whimsical? No, because technology has evolved in the past half century so that it's trivial to build a train capable of travelling at over 220km/h and they live in geographically convenient areas where building high-speed lines doesn't involve building many tunnels and bridges.
Material science breakthroughs have improved the efficiency and cost effectiveness of turbines. Simply put, less friction means higher output and less maintenance. There are a lot of exotic ceramics and other materials available now that simply did not exist only a few decades ago. Also, economies of scale have matured the industry around this to the point where installation and maintenance cost are down and much more predictable.

With solar, panel efficiency has gradually improved and economies of scale is driving panel production and operation cost down as well.

Coal prices have been kind of stable since there is plenty to be mined. But since clean alternatives dipped below the coal prices a few years ago, coal has become a lot less attractive. That combined with heavy pollution means that coal plants are slowly being shut down and most plans for building new ones have been shelved. Meanwhile a lot of the remaining coal plants that are still operating are facing likely shut downs over the next decade or so because they won't be able to make a profit as clean alternatives drive prices down as they come online.

You could also have a rule that bans drunk pedestrians. Because they could cause an accident by making a car swerve. They are also more dangerous in terms of committing other crimes. The difference is that pedestrians and cyclists don't weigh several tonnes and are able to move at very high speeds.

I am not suggesting that bad behaviour should be legal. Merely that it is not morally comparable to dangerous driving.
I have two rescues and think it is good if people adopt more of them, but I also thinks it's wrong to shift the moral condemnation to people who want dogs (puppies, clones or whatever) from whoever is abusing these dogs in the first place. I'm not angry when nobody wants to adopt a dog, I'm angry because somebody treated them so poorly in the first place. Owning a dog isn't a human need, so getting one just to treat it like trash -- and have it wind up in a shelter -- is disgusting.

Not to mention rescues can come with a lot of problems, physiologically and psychologically. I can understand why people might shy away.

I have also been doing this for a long time and I was surprised when this article took some attention six - seven years ago when it first published. ( Gosh it was that long since I read it? Seems like yesteryear to me ) It isn't a trick, nor is it a test. Just truth to be told.

With the abundant of information, expertise and tech, there isn't really anything that is impossible unless it is pure sci-fi. The problem comes with how much you are willing to spend / pay. Even if the price cant be agreed at first, then we look at how often are they going to do it. Once every week? months? or one off?

The biggest biggest problem of most ( if not all ), these people are unwilling to paid the price of such event even if it was hosted at lunch time or dinner time ( normal working hours ) and have frozen concentrated orange juice ( Minimal Preparation ).

Yeah, ads playing louder than the programming's been going on for decades. Also, it's worth noting that advertisers intentionally manipulate your emotions, including fear. That can't be healthy.

I'd say unobtrusive ads in search results, at the beginning of videos, etc., can be good. I'd feel grateful of Youtube switched back to front loading the ads to the point where I'd probably go out of my way to pay attention to those ads.

It's definitely interesting reading my sibling comments - their complaint is that there are product logos in the shot of the program that is being watched. I have only anecdotal evidence, and it's not even recorded evidence, but I'd wager that the vast majority of these product placement shots take 30s or less from the entire program (often 30m or more).

Personally, and of course this is just my opinion, but I would absolutely take product placement shots (even of the variety given by my sibling comments) over 2m of commercials every 10 minutes in the show.

If you're wealthy its super easy to avoid going to war, it doesn't matter which country we talk about. Bribe physician to have some made-up condition (ie Trump), or get drafted but end up doing some safe job on military base back home/outside of any real danger (i think Bush jr).

Wars are fought by poor under-educated classes (thats where drafting/hiring is aimed at), smart person sees how pathetic the causes are, how incompetent political and military leadership is, and how stupid it would be to lose life or health for no good reason (and very probably introduce hefty chunk of evil into this world).
