How to Recognize the Traps in the Trading Minefield
So you are going to tax the necessities? Right, only the 'rich.' How do you define 'rich'? High income? What about the small business owner who retires, sells, and gets that one large payday? You gonna tax her like she earns that much every year? High net worth? What if that net worth is structured so it looks like some other entity controls it? The very wealthy will employ clever people to beat your plan every single day and twice on Sunday, just like they do today. Buffett pays a lower rate than his secretary for a reason.
Not the OP, but the main reason I want an e-ink display (for programming, which may include animations) is so that I can do it in full sunlight. I work remotely and often work in public places. Working on a park bench, for example, is normally impossible, unless it happens to be cloudy and I'm in a shady place. I'm just hoping e-ink becomes a mainstream thing before I retire.
Interesting, I really hope results are caused by people testing weird stuff. But like the author says, and I too, would be worried if it is because of manufacturer neglect. And they should probably be outed.

Re 1) and 2): Even if the keyboard is fully programmable, I still don't see where I would put the arrow keys, F1-F12 and ESC here… Yes, you can come up with all kinds of key combos but at the end of the day it will still take you longer to press one of the F keys and, even worse, it will be far less ergonomic if you have to press one such key combination repeatedly—especially if the required super and meta keys are below your pinky & ring finger (= your weakest fingers), instead of your thumb.

In my opinion, keyboard for hackers should have more keys than regular ones, not fewer. I like what the people at TrulyErgonomic[0] did here, namely put a lot of keys in reach of your thumb and index. If only their support wasn't abysmally bad…

Coming from .NET you should know Noda Time (https://nodatime.org) and the problem it solves. Consider moment the JS alternative, however, with JS native Date being more limited / broken than .NET's DateTime.

TL;DR: Goes way beyond standard formatting.

Seriously? Using Polonium meant that it took weeks for Litvinenko to die, giving him plenty of time to make it clear exactly who was responsible, and even give interviews to the press. If they wanted to keep it quiet, they did a pretty terrible job.
Quiet has been the one life-changing book for me. I read it at a time when I thought of myself as unsocial (because I didn't like parties) and was uncomfortable expressing myself even among a large group of friends. After reading that book and realizing how widespread introversion is, I became more and more comfortable in my own skin. Ironically I also started enjoying more at parties because I wasn't judging myself constantly, which helped me become more of a pseudo-extrovert when I needed to be.
Basically - useful AR hardware isn't here yet but what we do have allows us to play around and test ideas.

I'm interested in using VR in a similar way. i.e. build a copy of a real space in VR, ensure the alignment is correct and make sure any moveable objects are trackable. It's a hassle but once you've done this you've essentially got a prototype of what it will be like in future when AR glasses have a decent field of view, work in full lighting and allow you to subtract as well as add light to the scene.

I think this is more fun that the other options:

1. Hold a phone or tablet in front of you and imagine what it will be like when I can do that without holding a lump of metal and glass.

2. Squint through a Hololens or Magic Leap and try and ignore the current hardware limitations.

However - in either case it's all a dry run for some future hardware platform that we don't have yet.
other way, you mound cameras ON pallet jacks and other vehicles
For me human stupidity is just fifth natural element that occasionally causes its own kinds of natural disasters.

Terrorism is one of those, but also is negligent greed or general recklessness or other things. All those cost lives and cause property damage.

When you frame it like that you can get out of atavistic mindset of ascribing agency to random things and vengfully looking for reasons why god of oceans hates you. Then you can focus on researching best ways of mitigation and prevention.
Many people treat it that way.

If you're "Christianed" or "Baptised" CofE and Catholics will both mostly consider you Christian even if you're an atheist by confession.

The issue is that religious actions become cultural actions. And that religious leaders claim people as their own.

People who live in Thisistan are Chrewslims; or people whose parents were Chrewslims are also that. Silly.

I think the point is more about people being so change-averse that it's basically impossible to take many of the "reviews" of new generations of Apple products seriously. Every time they roll out something new the universal consensus on sites like HN is that it's not just useless but actually has negative utility; it's the worst thing anyone has ever put on the market; if Apple ever does manage to sell any of this piece of crap they'll all be returned and exchanged for older models; Apple will be bankrupt within the year because they just don't understand how to make good things anymore!

And then a couple years later when the next next generation comes out, suddenly that worst-thing-ever-that-was-going-to-bankrupt-them turns out, actually to have been amazingly great and darn near perfect, so why did they go and mess it up!
I have done software screen mirroring for RTL languages on an Atari ST ages ago. There I had both full images available and I'd just compare source and target rows, skipping 8 rows (IIRC) until detecting change, in which case I'd swap the local area. The start row was incremented after every scan, so I'd be sure to not have missed any pixel after 8 scans. This allowed to track the mouse quickly and also to respond to local changes (text editing) without letting the mirroring thread fully lock up the computer.

For your case, it seems more reasonable to divide the screen into some kind of rectangular cells, keep checksums for the cells and switch them to A16 if the checksum stays constant for two visits? This would avoid the need for a full extra frame buffer while still being relatively accurate. I think one main problem will be that you'd need to modify the screen firmware to do something like that. Probably would make sense to code a software emulation on a regular screen to see what it would look like...
Whenever I read about stress' effects on the body, I always wonder about exercise. Exercise is an example of stress, or at the very least causes similar symptoms (rapid heartbeat, breathing difficulties, cortisol and adrenaline spikes). Why is it that exercise is so good and stress is so bad?

Yep, I concur. As an atheist I am as detached from religion as you can get, and I still think this article has some valuable insight. I know it from experience, as I am from Germany and most workers actually do have Sundays off (there are exceptions of course: doctors, nurses, gas station workers, police officers...). In retrospective, I very much appreciated having it as a kid. My parents were pretty busy otherwise but Sundays were always different and brought us together as a family.
Interesting. When the original report was submitted to HN last week, the top comment was from someone working in the field basically saying it was a nothingburger. [1] This latest development doesn't necessarily contradict that, but it does show that executives at least saw the issue as rather serious.

But the keto diet is a fad and very dangerous diet, with lots of research and education having taught our doctors the state of ketosis is dangerous and extreme for our bodies. And that the term is associated with severe insulin failure, i.e. it will never be sustainable. Basically you need glucose from external sources to survive and shouldn't forget mama and papa food company or pharmaceutical x when thinking of your solution
Seems like a good use case for PID loops -- drive the pixel really hard for a brief moment to bring it to the target value faster than might otherwise be possible.

You get used to it. It's not like French people can't buy stuff the other 6 days of the week.

> It should be the choice of the business owner and the consumer what they’d like to do.

Not that simple as there are several externalities. Suppose you're a business owner and your competitor opens on Sunday. You suddenly have no other choice than opening on Sunday as well.

I appreciate the convenience of shops being open all the time when I travel to the US or Asia. But I believe it makes a lot of people miserable and it's not a necessity.

> I trust my AdBlocker more than any consent options/frameworks.

I agree. But, I have nothing against ads, just poorly behaved nuisance ads. I want content providers to get paid, I just don't want to surrender my privacy and eyeballs for that to occur.

So, I'm trying to think of some rules for well behaved ads, that I would allow to come through my AdBlocker.

1) privacy - hosted on neutral, log-free and audited website so no tracking information gained and no additional information in the URL query parameters
2) image - ad image is an appropriate size in kb, has no animation and is a strait img tag (i.e. no javascript to do funny things on hover, click or over time).
3) render - image size is included in page html (avoid annoying layout shifts as the page renders)

Anything i'm missing? I think this would be an interesting check-box for an AdBlocker app/plugin.

Missing:
* some way to stop an advertiser from uploading the same image 50k times with a slightly different name to do tracking. could probably be covered easily with the way billing is done so this would be cost prohibitive.
I missed the part about some minimum speed, but it's still flexible in regards to how many levels or frames per transit you use. The point is really to be able to communicate at all - without using a star's light it's basically impossible after a certain distance.
Dutch expelled 2 Russian spies over hack plan on Swiss lab working on Skripal
With a couple of bad metaphors you can prove almost anything. But anyway, the point is blockchains (I guess).

>Consumers actually like transactions to be reversible, within reason; markets work better that way. Companies even like to be able to safely unwind legal agreements sometimes when it turns out those contracts weren't the best idea.

Reversing financial transactions or contractual agreements in a way that eradicates all traces of their existence is almost never what you want and it is almost never legal.

If there is one truly append-only world out there then it is finance and legal. I'm sure there are some exceptions, but it makes little sense to build an argument on those.

I do agree though that blockchains seem like a rather contrived solution to some of the problems they are supposed to solve.

Scots are a people group, Irish Scots are a thing. Indeed, my understanding is that Irish Scots invaded Gwynedd in N.Wales after the Roman departure. The Tudors -- the English Royal family, Henry VII & VIII -- hail from Gwynedd, so they're Welsh English Irish Scots (from Scandinavia before that I imagine?).

Anyway, lying and converting seem different. Assuming an identity as a Jew and being a Jew are surely different.
I would suggest getting a degree in engineering! Electrical, Computer, Software. The key to being effective in the long term is to be able to design and then implement system of systems.

Astronomy is not about building telescopes and biology is not about designing microscopes. Whilst CS is a very important field, it could be likened to being like physics is to structural engineering. Physics study will teach you a lot about how materials behave, but structural engineering will teach you how to apply that science and build structures that will meet the requirements over a long time.

The problem with being self-taught is that you don't know what you don't know and can easily succumb to the Dunning-Kruger Effect. That is why programs are so full of bugs. The coders didn't understand what they were building, they just hacked away until something just worked (some of the time).
Do you have the ability prove all assertions that you think are true? Do you have the ability to cite three peer reviewed studies to back up all claims you believe to be true?

Like everyone else my opinions are formed by a combination of experience, anecdotal evidence, and locigal deductions from facts. This is especially so in the realm of politics where one tends to make sweeping statements about large groups of people.

I’ve encountered many people who claim taxation is theft and heard their views on other political matters. This experience has led me to the conclusion that people who say that taxation is theft largely vote a certain way. Of course I might be wrong.

This is a forum where people post their opinions. Asking someone to be prepared to cite three peer reviewed articles for each opinion is weird. You know I probably can’t cite such articles so I guess that you make the request in an attempt to point out that there are things I think are true that I can’t prove. I suppose you think this diminishes the merits of my opinions. I think you are wrong. Your request says more about you than it does about my opinion.
I'm glad you have conceded that it is harmful.

I agree there are many other things which are also harmful.

How is this stupid? The PRC existed when Taiwan was given to the ROC. The borders (i.e. the real ones not the imaginary ones referenced by PRC and ROC laws) between the PRC and the ROC are unchanged in the last 69 years. So no it's quite clear that the Cairo declaration definitely does not support any claims of the PRC to Taiwan. Bringing up representation in the UN is irrelevant and if anything the only stupid thing said in this back and forth.
The FIFA web app is of particular interest in September not just because that's when the new one comes out, but because you can use the web app for a week or so before the actual game is released.

This means you can buy packs, trade players, and start getting your squad together before you even play the actual game, and this is important if you want to get a jump on other players quickly. Once the game is out, more people just trade in game.
It's not like the population will buy more things if you open one more day though (not sure how online shopping plays into this). So your revenue will just be spread out over more time, and your costs will be higher since you have to keep the shop open one more day. </speculation>

It's People, Stupid (People Are Stupid?): Andy Walker at QCon
Err..

They are the people who own the country. They are the people who are invited to the Bilderberg meetings. They are those who fund think tanks. They are the people whose kids are guaranteed a seat in an Ivy league school, regardless of merit. They are also VERY unlikely to face jail time when they are accused of a crime; which is rare.

This sounds unlikely, since these are the people who are least affected by people like Jones. I'd also note that many of these people are also the ones making noises about a conspiracy against conservative voices in silicon valley.

The people who banned Jones are more like people like me. People who hate the lying, disrespect and trolling he represents.

Last year my iPhone 5 died while on a flight, so I stopped in duty free to buy a new one. I was about to pickup an iphone X when I realized that I couldn't stand it up on it's end and take videos, which I do on a daily basis when practicing my instrument. There was an iphone SE 128GB sitting next to the iphone X for less than 1/2 the price ... I expect to use this phone for another 3 years until they've slowed iOS down enough to make it unusable.

Unexpectedly, the killer feature for me ended up being, "Can I record myself drumming without needing some stupid attachment?"

This is just baseband. It doesn't need an Atom, hell no. It could be like a 486 core manufactured on a ten year old process and it'd still be ridiculously overpowered for the task. More likely it's a P5 core because Intel have repeatedly used that core to produce things -- Bonnell and Larrabee. Anyways it probably runs at like 100 MHz or such and consumes a few tenth of a watt. Maybe an ARM consumes less but compared to the main CPU it's negligible anyways.

Too much exercise is also injurious. That said, I have subjectively experienced an adrenaline rush for stupid reasons and chosen to do nothing with it — no run, no fight — and the subsequent downer felt terrible; as a result of this, I assume that physical exertion produces extra substances in the body which mitigate the stresses in much the same way that purely psychological stress is countered with external substances such as alcohol, weed, etc., or clinical antidepressants.
