What you do is you hide a land mine inside the law. In this case, I think it's probably the bit about having no significant ties with the mainland. Maybe the number of days on the island, or something to do with the "one minute" rule.

So you let them move in, thinking they legally owe no taxes, and meanwhile, you gather the evidence related to your land mine and then wait. You sit on it. For years. Then you blow up the mine and demand a heaping pile of back taxes. You can then settle for less than the amount you are demanding, so nobody goes to court and no precedents are set, but you still get the cash.

The mistake people make is in thinking they can use the law to put on over on the government, when the government makes and enforces the laws. All those people in the article were getting the best tax deal an American can even dream of, and some were still openly discussing ways in which they could cheat the requirements! It seems like all you might have to do to catch a cheater is just watch someone for a day or two, or record them during a few minutes of bragging.

They say you can't cheat an honest man, but you sure can con a cheater.

These efforts are commendable but the UI developed around them, particularly the "don't allow/allow", is atrocious and a pale memory of Firefox philosophy of placing control into user's hands. Where is the additional information? Where are the choices? How is the user being tracked? Will the user have to constantly dismiss these dialog boxes?

I started using FF in 2005 exactly because I felt it gave me a way to peek under the hood and customize my browsing experience. For the first time ever the software I was using was truly mine and it empowered me. I even got interested in programming because I was, for example, learning how to write and edit Adblock filters to nix that one persistent page element or using developer tools to sift through page code and extract Instagram images of bikini models. This would never have happened had my curiosity not been piqued by the notion of software made to serve _me_.

Is this how Firefox is going to be from now on? Incessant dialog boxes?
If you are able to build a team, then you often have the ability to judge your hires based on their ability to accept that:

- we live in a world of tradeoffs

- we live in a world of uncertainty

- order and trust are far more fragile than chaos and discord

This is not so when working with a constituency.
I was going to comment on how is it possible to still have features from one OS not yet implemented in the other (because let's be honest it goes in both directions)

Autofill was an Oreo feature, so it checks out, Apple added it as well in the next release.

(Autofill as a feature has been there for way longer on Android but it was relying on accessibility, which was a bit hacky and pretty unsecure)
Modern capitalists are way too efficient at moving capital via financialization for that to work in practice.

Exports / Imports, % of GDP, 2016 Source: National Accounts at a Glance

https://data.oecd.org/trade/trade-in-goods-and-services.htm

Imports | Exports

China 17% | 20%

US 15% | 12%

China seems to be at a fair disadvantage on exports dependence, but you're right, China is far less export dependent than one might think. The devil is in the details of course, but I'd venture a guess that US imports would tend to be more discretionary than China's, but who knows.
I saw the talk live last Friday in ClojuTRE. Someone asked about performance, and IIRC the speaker said that a GraalVM-built native binary tends to run about 50% slower than JVM for long-running tasks.

For some purposes this matters and for some others it doesn't. I can certainly see the benefit of quick startup for e.g. CLI tools. And for servers, the security benefit of running a single standalone binary blob inside a multistage Docker container might be easily worth it.
The bigger x-height seems to make it a bit more readable. However, generally professors allow Palatino instead of Times even when measuring length requirement by page; unmodified Palatino is also wider but more aesthetically pleasing, and is widely used in academic papers.

Off-topic, but this is an incredibly horrible idea. Can you name and shame the company so I make sure I never rent from them?

I tend to be a forgetful and generally clumsy person, which means I neglect to charge my phone a lot. So I would be stranded in this case?
It seems like you're more interested in arguing semantics and defending your viewpoint than having an actual discussion, so I'll leave you to it.

Yes in this case, the publishers shot themselves on the head. This is so interesting; if this book wins, it will be a major banner that Amazon empowers authors. I have to say that I can not find myself sympathetic to the publishers' argument here at all.

I was responding directly to the person above me who objected to the loss of the 2.5mm jack because he can't plug his amp into his phone anymore. This seems silly to me, because if using fancy headphones is important enough to you to carry around an amp, it is negligible additional cost to also carry around a dongle.
Presumably the loss of a tax base. I think OP is saying the laws slowly drive people out in a way that doesn't make it apparent the reason people are leaving is those laws. Eventually you wind up with a situation that levies high taxes on the rich but no people to actually tax.

"Mountain View (good schools/close to Google)" Did you mean to say Palo Alto. Mountain View public school system is like the millenials call it Trash. Mountain View which is home to 2 out of 5 Big tech (Google and Microsoft) has one of the worst Public school systems here in the bay area. Proves there is zilch direct correlation between High paying jobs and School district performance. In fact, Dublin/Pleasanton where the average wages are 20-30% less than in the Silicon Valley proper, public schools are awesome. Cupertino is an outlier IMHO.
So how many "effective" qbits are there in these systems that I see hyped up? Intel's press release for its 49-bit system [1] does not mention anything about "logical qubits". IBM's 50-qubit system [2] similarly does not hedge here.

I see a question on stack overflow [3] that has some information, and actually claims an O(n) bound on the number of qubits, which is much tighter than the O(nlogn) number, but that just makes my question about why the record for Shor's algorithm has not yet been broken.

I mean, forget about "quantum supremacy" -- where quantum anything?

Well, duh. I'm old, and I think the grocery store and 7-11 carry them. Do they sell them individually? Because here's how I see it playing out:

1. I want to vote, so I fill out my ballot.

2. It needs a stamp. Do I have stamps? Of course I don't have stamps, I'm young and I've never mailed anything in my life.

3. My friend said the 7-11 has them. I hope she's right, because I don't want to have trek over to the grocery if she isn't.

4. I have to buy a whole book of ten? I only need one, and I'll probably lose the other nine before I need another one.

5. Half hour of time and $5 gone because the state tried to save $0.44 on postage.

Yeah, I wouldn't vote, either. I used to drop mine at the drop box because it was easier than finding a stamp (and it's on the way to work). WA finally wised up and just made the envelopes postage-paid.
>> The reason you haven't seen a phishing website using an EV certificate is because they don't need to even bother with it.
They don't use EV certificates because they are hard, even impossible to get for many. If you also consider that domains get blacklisted by the day, phishing would become unfeasible for many. The internet would be safer with EV-everywhere.

There are two issues with EV:

1. They are too expensive and hard to get/manage. We need something like Let's Encrypt so that you can submit documentation etc through an open protocol.

2. The UI is not good enough.

Due the reasons above many companies didn't implement EV.

I find it hard to understand why would someone remove EV with no replacement in place. How can I tell if google-domains.tld is a domain/website owned by Google Inc or a random scam website? Even a technical person is unable to tell you because there is no tool(at least I'm not aware of any) except the EV certificates.
> his real allegiance lay with the Dionysian, as his life and work went on to attest

I've argued this before but my personal opinion was Nietzsche was primarily concerned with challenging orthodoxy. He felt that people submit to moral authority without really considering why a particular set of principles are favored or from where that authority comes. As such he often played the devil's advocate trying his level best to show that the out-of-favor principles had some real advantages.

He often laments that people will misunderstand him and I think this is what he meant. He was working at a higher level of abstraction and knew people would focus on his examples rather than his higher meaning. I don't think he was aligned with the Dionysian as much as he was trying to defend it well enough to show that the Apollonian was no more objectively valid.
Except you have no say in what the mafia does. You elect representatives in government.

Trying to compare government to the mafia is not at all conducive to a civilized discussion, as it brings nothing to the discussion other than a "rabble rabble government is bad".

He's a CEO and is fully responsible for all matters of Tesla finances. If Mr. Musk is too ignorant of the law to properly run a company, then he will be removed.

But that's the SEC's investigation. The deal with the article today, is that the DoJ... aka the FBI is beginning to get involved. This suggests that the FBI is concerned with CRIMINAL issues with regards to that tweet. Criminal penalties looks unlikely IMO, but who knows what the FBI manages to dig up?

In either case, the FBI looking into it doesn't look good at all. If anything, it helps solidifies the SEC (non-criminal) case of negligence.

> expanding it with social functionality like likes, reposts and comments

One of the problems I had with blog comments is spam. Blogger would queue up moderated comments and send you an email about them. The idea occurred to me that that was redundant and it would be better to cut out the middleman - you are getting email notifications about comments needing moderation, and email already had long established and much better spam filtering. Why not have people submit comments via email? That way you can also reply to people privately. This is also convenient for people who read their feeds via RSS-to-email or in newsreaders/email clients like Thunderbird and Gnus.

Another aspect of comments via email is that it is much more like a letter to the editor. Your blog posts are articles, and you can choose to update them with corrections and comments that people send in, instead of trying to manage a half-baked message board that is the standard LiveJournal/Blogger/Wordpress/Disqus comments section.

I think an easy and valuable way to get non-geeks to use web page feeds more is to provide the option to sign up for the feed via email, by offering a "newsletter" option.
The suggestion that the advantages that AMP purports to bring can be better realized instead with just lean websites that aren't full of obtrusive Javascript and dynamic ads seems to entirely miss the fact that just-in-time ad auctions, made possible by scripting in the browser, are a critical revenue source for outfits that publish text and (and short video) content on the web at upfront cost. This makes for awful UX, but expecting publishers to forego most types of display ads is simplistic.

AMP raises the standards for ad networks and ad formats [1], and has hooks for analytics [2], giving publishers the features they -- well, at least, their marketing and engagement folks -- want, while insulating them from the most desperate attempts of adtech monetization that they'd otherwise feel the pressure to add. Therefore, AMP provides a story for business models [3] -- and fits into Google's vision where they provide solutions to derive revenue from content, either through ads, or through a user payment scheme [4].

Meantime, other soybean manufacturers will dial up production, so when the tariffs are dropped by China, the US soybean manufacturers will be selling to an oversupplied market, dropping the price. And given the US subsidies will almost certainly go when the Chinese tariffs do, the risk to the US soybean industry has only been postponed, rather than countered.

I don't think you understand what you are saying here. Yes, the U.S. has the world's reserve currency _because_ it allows unrestricted foreign capital inflows and has a long respect for property rights and rule of law. Try, as a foreigner, buying a house in China. It's illegal. Try, as a foreigner, to buy a house in the U.S. -- no problem. The U.S. opens it's markets to the rest of the world to purchase American assets while the rest of the world closes its markets. If you are a foreigner, you can buy all the corporate and government bonds you want. You can repatriate money out of the U.S. in unlimited amounts. In China, this is illegal. They don't even allow their own citizens to move more than a small amount of money out of their country. There is a great black market of people smuggling money into and out of china because the government restricts cross border capital flows -- like hiding money in your socks or trick suitcases, bribing border guards to let you through stuff.

This is why the U.S. is the reserve currency, and it is also why we have a trade deficit, because as the rest of the world's capital pours into the U.S., that forces our currency to be overvalued enough to have an equal sized trade deficit on the way out.

Whereas you seem to think that that the U.S. "manipulating" it's currency by making U.S. currency more attractive to hold for foreigners -- is somehow a counter or offsets what China is doing, which is making its currency less attractive to hold.

But it's not, these two work together to cause the same distortion and large trade deficits.
> Maybe RSS could be dropped? Are there news readers that support RSS but not Atom?

Unfortunately yes. Gnus has not gotten Atom support yet (people keep using external programs to translate). Also far too many feeds still output RSS instead of Atom. RSS is a horrible format and there is no reason today to use it instead of Atom.
It drives me crazy seeing people claim to "just" prefer living in the car-oriented suburbs when

2) the biggest reason cities are unpleasant is (surprise) the high density of car traffic and noise!

That's DAYS after Musk made the initial "Funding Secured" tweet.

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1026872652290379776?lang...

Follow the original twitter feed yourself. Its not like its been deleted. Musk is very clear that "funding is secured", and in follow up tweets.

> Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured.

> Shareholders could either to sell at 420 or hold shares & go private

> My hope is all current investors remain with Tesla even if we’re private. Would create special purpose fund enabling anyone to stay with Tesla. Already do this with Fidelity’s SpaceX investment.

----------

Days later, Musk posts a blogpost that directly contradicts his original tweets. IE: He was lying originally. We now know that there's no buyer who was willing to spend $70 Billion to buyout Tesla and take it private.

The question then, is was this lie "negligence" (SEC fine), or was it intended to manipulate the price? (FBI jailtime).

The DoJ case implies the FBI is looking into the jailtime question. While the SEC is looking into the negligence question. Both cases will move forward as appropriate.

My bet is that SEC gets him on negligence, but I don't really know enough about history / other cases to know what kind of punishment Musk will get. I'm guessing a fine of some kind, but the SEC does have the power to remove Musk from his CEO position entirely.
