So lets take some of this at face value: Trumps lawyer says "He didn't do it, somebody else (in the family) did it" except.. he profited from it. So.. like a fence who receives stolen goods, you don't steal them but you profit from them. And, this begs the question: did he knowingly profit from this tax dodge? Not that ignorance is a defence and all.. but how people feel about crimes (lets go there) depends on intent as well as actions and outcomes.

Plus, and I guess its just "me" but really? Didn't do it? Have we reached the point where a lawyers best option is the Bart Simpson defence?
This is right. This is what many businesses do. It's better to demand cash upfront, period.

If they don't take those terms, then they don't get your services.

If that means you have to wait tables until you find a few legit clients, then so be it.
It's a great question a but obviously the catch is in "nobody else around" - morality only really comes into play when humans interact with one another.

In perhaps the simplest possible example, they live on land that belongs to a country that defends and otherwise manages it. In that case, paying a basic land tax should be enough. If there are other interactions between the family unit and its society, then other arrangements might need to come into play to allow them to maintain the entitlement for that lifestyle.
If someone with this attitude worked for me, I'd get rid of them ASAP. We don't want people sitting around saying 'thats not my job' or 'I'm not going to look for ways to do things in a better way' or 'I wasnt hired for that'

Our company culture is the complete opposite of that. We want people to help each other. We want people to challenge how things are done. We want to change things all the time, experiment, see what works.

I have NEVER hired someone and said 'heres exactly what you need to do for 8 hours, have at it'. Not even close. All businesses must move forward, lest they die in the dust. The old cushy 9-5 job where you just do the same thing over and over your whole career is dying out quickly.

I think there is a movement toward sincerity and realistic expectations in a lot of these things. For example, the most popular mountain biking youtube channels are all people who are kindof okay at riding but do it because they love having fun. Whilst those youtubers themselves are trying to garner success, it shows that a lot of people don't really care about racing mountain bikes. That's true for a lot of mountain bikers I know in real life too. Even those on the 8k engineering masterpiece still don't aspire to enter any races or have any delusions of grandeur.

I myself ride some pretty wierd, definitely not race spec bikes and I love every minute of it. I never considered racing or "winning at bikes" to be important to me.
As the other reply in this thread pointed out, this doesn't mean that the BIOS takes longer to boot, it means that the logo keeps showing as the OS boots.

don't you see? her work was of little to no value, worthy of no less than total obscurity, for many, many years, and then one day, spontaneously, became worthy of mention in the esteemed... wikis... of Wikipedia-- the day she was awarded a Nobel Prize completely out of the blue, apropos of nothing.

story checks out; nothing to see here! :^)

edit re downvotes: (not to speak for parent and OP, but) i don't think the claim here is that the kibosh-putting-on of her wikipedia page was done with malicious intent, but simply that bias may have played a role in that decision. and since it was demonstrated pretty damn unambiguously to have been mistaken in this case-- the bar for Nobel Prizes is just a teensy bit above the bar for having a Wikipedia page-- perhaps, as with all mistakes, it is something to learn from and bear in mind in the future. methinks he* doth protest too much?

* about as apt an application of the phrase as you're ever likely to see heh
I think dress is one factor. Age, height, are they in a group, and if so, what do the other members of the group look like -- they all have an effect. But, I don't think you can deny that race is a factor also, independent of all the other factors. I don't think that's ever gonna change, either.

I don't believe people outside the U.S. are immune from considering race as a factor in judging whether someone is a threat or out for mischief. The world is filled with race wars and racial conflict and tension. For a German, say, it might not be a black person, but it could be a gypsy or arab that elevates their sense of risk.
"is there inherent nobility in work itself?"

Nietzsche would hate this question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master%E2%80%93slave_morality

Working is the opposite of noble in the traditional sense of the word.
https://www.squelch.io supposedly links relevant internal knowledge from many sources, targeting support and sales scenarios but presumably could be used in other scopes.
Yes, you already said that. You asked what would happen if their supply chain raised payroll (and therefore prices) by $1M/mo. And I answered that question.

"secrets" is a bit click-bait-y. Good stuff mind you. I think a lot of us get this, because stress is a fact of life and we now realise shielding kids from all stress is bad, just as much as exposing kids to needless unfixable ongoing stress is bad. Kids need to learn how to deal with stress as a skill, for stress which is age-appropriate (like, how to handle being rejected by your peers, or having to share toys, or deal with "no")

The sex differentiation begs questions. What qualities in exposure and response to stress would make the functional difference? It feels like a variant of nature/nurture arguments which have really torrid downsides if you go there, If it turns out women react differently in acute and sustained stress situations I can guarantee somebody from the alt-right is going to use it to say women shouldn't be in the army, in jets, in control of their own reproductive futures...
I'd work for $10 an hour paid cash upfront. If it's a 220 hour project, that's $2200 a month (post tax, because I required cash up front).

Nearly anyone could live on that if they have a roommate and no kids.
Something I wish I'd known when I started freelancing about 8 years ago: Being good at your craft (like programming) is assumed. In order to do well at freelancing, you also have to have some business sense.

There are all sorts of great resources about how to business online, but it didn't even cross my mind at the beginning that that would be important. Once I started learning how to business freelancing became waaay easier.

Things like how to invoice, how to negotiate, how to talk to a client, how to schedule your time, how to budget, how to market yourself, how to network, etc etc etc are not at all related to programming, but can make the difference between a happy freelancing existence and a miserable career.

I've been fortunate to have a pretty lovely freelance web development career. My key has been finding clients that are smaller companies and not full time, with a long ongoing project.

Smaller companies allow you to build a relationship with the owner of the business, and to position yourself as not just a pair of hands to write code, but a trusted advisor who takes the business's actual needs into account when writing code (which is how you compete with global talent).

Not full time means you can have multiple clients at once to give you a nice advantage over a full time job: if one source of income dries up, your income doesn't go to zero.

Most of my clients have been multi-year projects. I'll slowly build their webapp for around 10 hours a week at most. I've worked about 20 hours a week for the last 8 years, lived in lower cost of living areas, and spent the rest of my time on doing whatever I feel like.

Some resources I'd recommend:

* The Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman - a nice overall summary of how to run a business

* The corpus of Kai Davis's material (https://kaidavis.com/), including his super valuable/highly entertaining podcast Make Money Online (https://makemoneyonline.exposed/)

* How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie - how to interface with fellow humans (freelancing/business is mostly a human activity)

Happy to help anyone who's interested in freelancing if I can, send me an email.

I wish I could sneer at your post for sarcasm but sadly, the opposite is true: your comment is right on point.
I agree it's a privilege to have the ability to automate your job.

The programmer who has extra time from automating his jobs has a choice on how to spend that time.

- Waste it playing games

- Learn other skills

- Work on other side projects

Only the first option is negative to the employer.
Too small, slide mounts were already standardized on 24x36, and the square was never all that popular among the general photographer. The reason why the square shape in 120 was originally developed was a technical hack. Since it outputs a square, there was never any need to hold a Hasselblad vertically; just take the photo and crop it to suit. The only square consumer oriented cameras I can think of are twin-lens reflex cameras like the Rolleiflex, which are delightful but somewhat uncommon. A number of folks started trying to make use of the square format as a square format, but it was not originally, I think, intended for that purpose.

Re: too small; an 8x10, one of the smaller standard print formats for portraits, is about an 8x enlargement from a 35mm frame. With modern materials and good technique, 8x-11x is feasible, but starting to push it at the edges; I have printed 13x17s off 35mm but I would not want to push it much larger. 35mm does 4x6s, 5x7s and 8x10s perfectly reasonably, which is what it spent most of its time doing for common consumer work. It's worth noting that one of the other common consumer cameras of the 1940s was the Brownie, which output 6cmx9cm images and was routinely contact printed, producing something smaller even than a 4x6.

120 produces images that are between 1.8x (in the 645 format) or 2.5x (in most others) as large, physically, meaning that the common enlargements are only 4x-5x. If you push it, with quality equipment, you start getting into print sizes that are super clumsy to handle like 20x24. I've never printed, personally, anything larger than a 16x20. If you do your own wet processing they're also nicer to work with—35mm negatives are real small and kinda fiddly. 4x5 sheets are also delightful to work with, of course, but they require fighting the camera in the field.
Haskell's type system is _worlds_ better than Java's, and it's absolutely essential to the maintenance benefits that Haskell gives you over other languages.
I'd assume they the speaker was for diagnosis, eg. if you could hear an "Ahoy?" then you should probably start over.
A few scattered thoughts:
Much of this article seems to only apply under the assumption that people didn't have hobbies prior to being a working adult. Most people I know have hobbies, but those hobbies were developed prior to being working adults. The article states:

> most of us will be truly excellent only at whatever we started doing in our teens.

So what about all of us that have had our hobbies prior to even being a teenager? I've been playing piano now for almost 3 decades. I played nearly every day from age 4 to the day I graduated college. By the article's admission, I'm supposed to be excellent by now. But... I've steadily gotten worse since becoming a working professional. I have my 5000+ hours of practice, but only a few hundred in decade since graduating. My experience when it comes to these hobbies is that most people drift away from their interests due to self-comparison, not societal comparison.

The activities mentioned by the article seem to be of the everyday athletic variety. As adults, we're supposed to be conscious about our health. Nobody cares if you're a shitty runner when it's an expectation that you're health-conscious. The same can't be said for the arts and crafts variety of hobbies. The home brewer doesn't necessarily want you to try their shitty beer; The illustrator doesn't want to show their stick figures; The woodworker doesn't want you to sit in the chair that's probably going to break under your weight, regardless of whether or not they had fun making it. The office talk of "what did you do last night?" is a lot easier to answer with "went for a run"/"watched the same TV show as you" rather than having to follow up with the inevitable Q&A about your hobby. Let's say I mentioned that I was playing piano ("I've been playing since I was 4!"). The next time my team goes for drinks and there is a piano in the bar, people want to hear me play. Do I really want to publicly struggle to play a piece I was able to easily perform when I was 12? That doesn't sound like very much fun to me.

> you are trying to land a gallery show or at least garner a respectable social media following

People put their best foot forward, which also assumes they have a good foot to begin with. If you suck at something, you usually don't put it up on your Instagram. My point is really just that I don't talk about my hobby, and I assume that's also somewhat common for hobbies that aren't the typical everyday athletic variety. While I realize there are statistics that heavily back TV-as-a-hobby, I think the author has a bit of a selection bias and that there is under-appreciated amount of people that simply have no desire to discuss their hobbies. The discussion can detract from the enjoyment you get from the hobby itself.
Then find better clients or charge up front. Freelancing is tough but invoicing and getting paid should not be one of the hard parts.
I watch Adam13531's BotLand twitch channel when I work at home. He's also been posting them on youtube for the past few years. I am interested to see how other talented programmers work, without having to look over my colleagues' shoulders at work.

Adam keeps a really well organized programmers' log and todo list, and I've incorporated that into my own daily work.
Winzip Driver Updater 5.25.9.12 Key and Crack Full Version Download [New]
That’s a really good point as it relates to costs between security and ops. My hunch would be downtime is your own business, but data and financial loss is everyone’s (either through liability, legislation, or insurance costs).
You're clearly right. I added newlines so the list works.
The other thing is that it's logically similar to "You'll wish you'd spent more of your time on your yacht than the office."

Some of us have to work to afford time with family and friends, or even to afford family and friends at all.
You were not "forced". There were other options. I can think of a very simple one that I would have taken.
This is very shameless, and I'd guess other rich families have done similar shits of wealth to offspring. It appears to be a staggering graft.
For federated databases, one of my favorite project I've come across recently is: https://datproject.org/

It's not in there because it's generally a gigantic hack. For the 40 or 50 years that people have been developing device driver's the basic principles have largely not changed: you start with a clean slate ans do a reset to put the HW into a known good state. Every block of silicon ever devised comes with means to reset it's internal state.

What this is doing is telling the driver to ignore it's normal reset procedure because someone else, but specifically not you, has already done the super complex modesetting and you are to trust it implicitly.

So next year, when the sales people come up with the idea that they want to show an animation across all your DisplayPort chained monitors at boot, the guys at Apple buckle down for a month, hack that into the bootloader and then hack their kernel to recognize it, ships the same year. On Linux, for the first ten years, nobody cares because there are much larger fires to put out, then ten years are spent on a vendor and display technology agnostic VR ready boot up animation description format, ten more years pass for a critical mass of boot firmware and kernel graphics drivers to support it, then it ships with Ubuntu but every third boot has flicker or a weird rotation issue.
Having spent a few years focused on this (and other semiconductor enablement-related problems) my guess is they have evaluated their own patent portfolios and the risk of their implementations triggering a war, and have concluded it was worth doing. Note that Intel's GPUs are relatively simple, so AMD would seem to be bolder here, but I haven't dug into the detail to see how they have limited their exposure.

I find Intel is pretty solid about open sourcing everything they provide for Linux that runs on the host — it's a pity they haven't applied the same policy to the ME.

As someone who has smoked pot in the past and has spent a lot of time around people who have done a ton of different drugs, it would make no sense to me to substitute this drug for pot. The effects are totally different. The reason most people smoke pot is to chill out and relax, not lose their minds. The reason people do other drugs is to feel the effects those drugs give. You don't substitute one thing for another just because the ingredients are similar. You substitute it because it has similar effects.
