I'm sure he did, but I don't know any clients that were audited over "minor and non-malicious" issues. There's a materiality threshold in place before the IRS will initiate audits, due to the resources required.
> ... Chase ... It didn't help that their potential-fraud-detection department was similarly bad

I dropped Chase after about the 4th time they flagged my monthly payment to my ISP as potential fraud.
Oh good, the company that constantly bails on it's ventures is starting a new one in a space that is far from being realized still.

Seriously, if what's the goal? Being a supporting network for gaming infrastructure?
Not necessarily. It'll always be a small project for a company like Google and will eventually be merged into some larger corporate structure (YouTube Game Stream or whatever). It'll take product cues from that larger entity, so won't be as dedicated to propose as a small start-up would be (already in this thread we've discovered the site is Chrome only). But it'll still dominate enough of the market that the small start-up will not be viable.
>breaking the law

When the IRS is enforcing a corrupt law, it makes people who fear the corrupt law being enforced against them view the IRS as the bad guys. That it is the law only hurts the IRS's position in this. Until the IRS makes the truly wealthy pay their fair share, not their legal share, they will find themselves in a position lacking moral authority.

Put another way, yes those loopholes are legal, but so is reducing the IRS's budget until they aren't able to operate at all.
> But there's nothing that stops it, say, eating protons and spitting out positrons later

Oh, I see what you mean, but it's not clearly because of symmetries breaking inside the horizon, rather than high-energy pairs taking energy from the background. Semiclassically: collapse an isolated star (here we depart from Hawking's formalism), and observe nothing but photons (with wavelengths comparable to the curvature radius) forming an atmosphere densest around ~ 3m \lt r \lessapprox 4m until m is very small, at which point you'll observe pair production in the atmosphere densest around ~ 4m. \lessapprox 4m is the back reaction mess of the inner atmosphere on chaotic and mostly plunging trajectories, and the highly dynamical part of the spacetime. [cf. Unruh https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevD.15.365 nb 3rd paragraph, "It must be remembered that talk about particles is a very crude and metaphorical way of talking about the physics near the horizon of the black hole", and Giddings https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.08221 ] In the Hawking formalism the background is static, and that forces the use of an infalling negative energy; that's not a real symmetry being broken gravitationally, and so I'm wary about the idea of breaking baryon (and lepton) symmetry with black holes.

So really this is mostly a wordy objection to "spitting out".
Sorry, we aren't.
Amazon? Are you thinking of Twitch, because this isn't that.

I think some people will be focusing on what benefit an MBA can bring to their salary, but I think others may look at it as a way to hedge against long-term obsolescence. It's a way to make the jump to management, architecture, and consultancy - especially in the case of larger organisations.

These roles are rightly challenged by many on HN since they aren't "true" technical architecture roles, for example. Even so, they do exist to support the businesses that create them until there is rationalisation during a recession when many of these roles are jettisoned.
I think that depends on how you're looking at the problem. College hires, for example, don't usually come into the industry having clear Frontend/Backend differentiation, but they will probably pick one path (or have it picked for them) on the job.

On the topic of business rules though: I don't think it's just business rules. As engineers, we're much better at our jobs when we can internalize the customer mindset, and that takes time. I recently switched industries, and my ability to make architectural decisions is noticeably weaker because I don't have the long view of my problem domain yet. Some PM's like to think that they have that all covered (in my experience, that happens about 50-75% of the time), but even technical PM's don't spend that much time thinking about the architecture, so in my experience it still falls on the engineer to spend some time thinking about the what/why and not just the how.

I think that applies to MBA's too. Business often look pretty similar, but technical and industry expertise makes all the difference.
Improvements for performance as well as hardware specific versions of the algorithm or parts of generally come a few years after a specific encoding has a first working release. h.265 for example still has room to grow in hardware accelerated encoding, it's very fast. And x265 being software based is much better, but slower.

It takes time.
I'd expect that Github's scope/growth/ubiquity has mostly smoothed out that bump.
Practically speaking, it's probably difficult for them to go after the top-of-the-top. At the low-end, I doubt many people under the 90th percentile have the ability to evade taxes, since most of their income likely comes from wages. Even if they do modify their W4 to reduce the amount taken automatically, the IRS probably has a very efficient system for finding them and forcing them to pay.

This leaves that middle ground of people who don't earn traditional wages, but also don't earn enough to employ fancy tax evasion schemes. Instead, they literally break the law and hope to evade justice long enough for it not to matter.
How is this different from https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/geforce-now/ or http://onlive.com/ ?
A fundamentally better service may be strangled in the cradle by Google operating at a loss for years and then shuttering the service, raising prices, or making some other negative trade off.
You know if you really neglect your property and ignore fines long enough, a humble HOA can foreclose upon your house.

Given that this is clearly a pattern of illegal behavior not remedied by civil lawsuits, the state should use eminent domain and seize his property as necessary create the mandatory access and to prevent further illegal activity blocking access to public lands.
Will you be building “business software” for enough of your career to make it worthwhile? I’ve had to learn enough about plenty of verticals over the years to build software. We hire/contract the experts if they don’t already work for us.

Meraki MDM is not free anymore AFAIK. But if you signed up while they offered the 100 free devices plan it's still valid.
I remember that, too. I was a huge deal if a bank called you.

Now, when I go into a Chase or Citibank or whatever branch with a question, all the "banker" guy does is call the same 800 number I would have called, and wait on the same 40 minute hold as I would have. They don't even have special in-house IVR anymore.

Meanwhile, I drink all their free coffee.

> Shady gateway providers will allow you the privilege,

Then those shady providers should be liable under proximate cause for when peoples' accounts get looted. If they weren't able to spoof valid-looking numbers, the frauds would be more difficult to perform.
Google's promotion and incentive structure is built around launching products. This will launch, putter along for a couple of years and then get shuttered unless it's a surprise success.
The Dickensian Conditions of Life in a For-Profit Lockup
Yeah I think you really misunderstood my post.

I was simply saying, I don't have photos of me doing lines of Cocaine off strippers. However I'm still concerned about the boarder patrol looking through my shit.

Holy fuck HN can sometimes go off on a tangent.
> I think you're being down-voted because the comment is kind of advertise-y.

It would have been upvoted if it was a reply on one of the top comments that complain about Google, though. Placement.
I strongly advocate a policy of "No MBAs" in a startup. The last thing a startup needs is someone who has little to no business experience, has a big attitude, has spent the last few years on professional networking and partying, and who expects due to the MBA to be able to boss others around.

There are exceptions of course, but in my experience the MBAs want to network to bring in others from their school/program to form a management cabal. It's really bad news. We should also remember that if startups weren't a high status thing to work on these days, all those MBAs would be working for big companies and would have no interest in startups.
This is an institutional problem. Since banks are so unreliable that information leaks, identity theft, and fraudulent charges are expected, they have this strange relationship with the customers, who do not treat their CC information as secret (not that it would help). It is sort of a cyclical thing, maybe.
Hi, would you be open to remote candidates in Canada? I have experience with Spark & Scala/Java but want to stay in Canada for now.
I like this but it will only help a little and temporarily. I've received calls from my own number. Given the amount of data out there in social media and seeing friends of friends, the scammers will be able to call you from a number that is in your contact list. The phone system needs a new layer but one that is optional. If a call comes from via the old layer, your phone warns you that this call may be fraud.
Not to be overly negative, but could they have come up with a less inspired and creative name than that?

“Project” also make it sound like a ongoing effort of sorts, and not a (finished) product.
None of those things are funded by Income Tax. Roads for instance are funded by gasoline taxes and other DoT levies.

The income tax basically only funds: Interest on the debt, and Entitlement programs (welfare, etc).

They did do this for SNES:

Obviously it was limited to games that did not use enhancement chips as you mention.
It's completely destroyed the phone for me... I get about 10 calls a day from scams. I don't answer my phone anymore unless it's from a number I already have programmed. Once the scammers get a hit on some of those numbers my phone is toast.
You should keep an eye on the events calendars - and not just tech meetups. Get outside of the tech bubble.

Here are some things I've enjoyed:

Live Jazz at Club Deluxe, Madrone Art Bar, Revolution Cafe, Amnesia, Mr. Tipples, SFJAZZ

First Fridays in Oakland - check out some local art

Get a museum membership and visit all of the museums, attend events, or check out some street art.

Extension courses at Berkeley Extension or City College of San Francisco, GIS Education Center, etc. Take something random like a foreign language or art class.

Free city walking tours to learn about the history of different SF neighborhoods:

http://www.sfcityguides.org/current_schedule.html

Wander around to different views of the city like Corona Heights, Tank Hill, Buena Vista Park, tiled steps, etc. There are some meetups that do this kinda stuff together also.

Rent a bike and ride through Golden Gate Park to Cliff House.

Return of the Cypher live freestyles and often breakdancing at the Boom Boom Room.

Volunteer your time and skill for educational orgs like ScriptEd or TEALS or social/political purposes like GeoCorps SkillShare or Code For America.

Eat at places besides your company. The Bay Area has so many different cuisines from around the world.

Go to one of the Nerd Nite / science events at a place like Rickshaw Stop or meet some other types of people at bar trivia.

Join an intramural league or go to a board game night.
When I was working as a consultant, I was able to expense most of this. The flip side is that you have to pay FICA, which is an extra 15% or so, which practically speaking, cancelled the deductions out.
Doesnt even work on firefox or IE.
It tells me to use Chrome which I recently ditched due to privacy violation concerns.
You either write an entire separate asm function, or use macro utilities to ifdef portions of the function. See for example: https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git/blob/HEAD:/libavcod...
> thinking about mathematical statements as mathematical objects...

Lock yourself away in a room with nothing but pen and paper (no internet, not books) and try to reproduce Goedel's original proof. Then post the attempt here :)

When I tried this a few years ago I made a mistake in the definition of numbering, got through half the proof, ran into trouble, and gave up before I figured out exactly where the mistake was. And I had already committed the overall outline and the tactical steps for each part to memory...

Even if you remember the entire outline, it'll be really hard to get the details right....

And, more importantly, the outline itself is actually not obvious.

>... much easier for us than for mathematicians of Godel's time because we are familiar with programs and computers

Again, it seems unlikely that this was the sticking point.

E.g. Hilbert understood mathematics as a symbolic game, thought about this exactly question, and didn't come up with Goedel's proof. And Hilbert was definitely no dullard.
If they can push the industry forward I am all for it.
In general some innovations are not sustainable but are still beneficial for the end users, getting these otherwise neglected fields funded through other income streams doesn't seem too bad.
My experience of software development is that just having the source is close to worthless unless you also have some way of building and running it.

Many old languages could be preserved by implementing AST based interpreters, even non-dynamic languages. Better than having the source and building and running it, is the ability to powerfully debug, monkey patch, and query the runtime.
Oh. Twice as much. That's a lot, right?

We could be moving from 1% to 2% here. Technically true, but statistically meaningless. So while we could say that a teen who engages in risky behavior is less likely to have adequate sleep, we can't say that a teen that has inadequate sleep is likely to engage in risky behavior. And if we're looking to identify teens likely to engage in risky behavior, it's useless.

And there are other things to consider as well. The study was done with 67,615 participants. 70% who are sleep-deprived compared to 30% who are "well-rested". The population of "sleep-deprived" is much, much larger.

Also, we're looking at self-reporting. A bit unreliable in the best conditions.

And we're drawing a casual link here that may not actually exist. They both may be symptoms of a third problem. For instance, students in impoverished conditions may have more risky behavior regardless of sleep schedules. And if that was the real reason, forcing more sleep on people is hardly going to fix the problem.
I’m not sure if it’s only NA though... just read the chapter 6 “Authority” of Cialdinis book “Influence”. People take stuff that authorities like scientists say as given. It’s human nature. The example of how this can be abused as outlined in the book are quite bizarre.
