This is not new. They’ve been eying this tax for quite some time. It’s due to the difficulty in fighting over the gas tax. It is extremely flawed, but politically expedient. At some point it may make sense due to electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles, but the day that it makes true sense, not just political, is still far in the future.

Unfortunately I do not think this is realistic. When somebody puts code out for free, without any binding restrictions on its use, they should not expect to be privy to profits generated from that code. Often times they'll struggle to even receive credit.

I don't say this because its my personal view -- every open source project I've used I try to contribute to in one way or another, and actively ensure that the author's receive fair credit even when their license does not require as such. But my view is based on reality. There are many people that are not like this. You give them something and they will simply take it. The actual creator or provider of what was given will be out of their mind before nightfall. Or in a work environment you may see people work themselves to death trying to get ahead only to find out that the person one notch ahead of them on the hierarchy had been happily taking credit for everything they were doing, and reaping all the accolades for such.

This is something that I think people should consider much more carefully before deciding to make their code freely available. You may indeed make society a better place, but there's a very good chance that you will receive no credit, let alone reward, for your role in it. If you consider that acceptable then take it a step further to consider that somebody else will, not infrequently, end up taking credit and reward for your work. If people were naturally driven to always want to reciprocate with reasonable value, the history of our species would be rather different.
That would surely help if you could tell us what Haxe specific problems you had.
Rubicon is a rather shallow river and is easy to cross by the way. But comparing menage-a-trois to a watershed event in human history deflates the risks taken by Caesar.
I do wish they'd change the Japanese naval flag -- in much of East Asia the Rising Sun Flag is seen as a symbol of oppression and Japanese imperialism, almost as potent as a Nazi swastika. It doesn't do Japan any good to fly the old imperial flag from every Maritime Self Defense Force vessel, even if it was the naval flag since 1889 (by which time Japan already had imperial designs).

> Oh great, yet another measure that will disproportionally affect the poor the most.

Transferring some portion of road maintenance funding from the gas tax (which the rich buy their way into lower per-mile charges for by paying more up front for hybrid and electric vehicles) to a mileage tax doesn't disproportionately affect the poor, at least not in terms of adverse effects.

The generally held opinion on this is that that would never work, because Google has no reason to pay 5M a year to something that is available to anyone for free. The keyword is "slightly modified" here which implies that the modification is trivial. If the modifications are not trivial, then all bets are off of course.
Well, the non-city people don't want endangered species. Reintroducing wolf packs has ruined elk hunting, made pets unsafe, made kids unsafe, and caused problems for livestock.

Since city people tend to love wolves, it looks like we have a win-win solution here. I have a feeling though, that city people will have a change of heart upon walking into a subway restroom and suddenly facing a wolf pack.

For me, if this software developing thing doesn't work out, my dream job would be to purchase, restore and re-sell classic cars. I already love tinkering with them, but there is only so much I can do with a full time job, and living in a flat.
On the other hand, commuters will think twice before accepting a job offer that requires a multiple-hour commute.

That will increase the pressure on local governments to provide adequate public transportation.

It will also increase the pressure on private markets to couple office tower developments with apartment high-rises versus the current models for most US cities - all offices downtown, all residences in suburbs.

It will increase pressure on employers to provide more diverse and distributed options versus "everybody be in the main office tower by 8 a.m.".

FirewallIP is what's kept me on jailbroken iOS since the 3GS, but the lack of updates (or responses from the developer) and annoyance of dealing with jailbreaking is pushing me towards Android where rooting is well supported and can be done while keeping the OS up to date.

The solution I've settling on has been AFWall+ to ensure that only a limited set of apps can talk at all, and Netguard to control where those apps can talk. The interface is not as elegant as FirewallIP, but it does allow an easier ability to interactively allow and block specific destinations without firing up a text editor.
Yep.

Specifically, just to hit this point home, the impact of humans is an extinction event comparable to the Cambrian–Ordovician extinction event, or the impact that killed off the dinosaurs.

> > data centres in Nigeria ... the electrical supply is not very reliable

> Electrical supply in Cape Town has had issues too: https://www.google.com/search?q=cape+town+load+shedding

Oh wow, one day of residential load shedding in the past year.

Nigeria had a country-wide electrical outage this year:
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/254308-updated...

A few years ago, I was somewhat involved with some data centres in Nigeria, which ran on generators 2-3 times a day for at last an hour each time, every day, for more than a year, due to the electrical grid in the city (Lagos) going down. The locals indicated that this was normal (e.g. had been like this for years).

Ghana has much more reliable electricity than Nigeria.

A few more articles:

"To cope with the frequent blackouts and lack of access, a quarter of Nigerians relied on generators in 2016"

South Africa's electricity generation (Eskom) has problems, but nothing like Nigeria's (yet).
I've been advised to remove and recycle the batteries due to safety concerns. Apparently when they are designed, they are not designed to be on 24/7. My laptop's batteries are toast, anyway, so it doesn't make a difference to me.

Why would you peanalise productive people through income tax? Why do you want to discourage working? Only way to rescue is to get paid less, not something we want to encourage.

Why not tax land value instead, easy to reduce by making better use of the land, which is something we want to encourage.

Taxing gas is still important to reclaim some of the externalities that burning it causes. Same with taxing alcohol which leads to societal problems.
those providers offering Mongo itself as a service

I can’t think of a single Mongo-as-a-service provider apart from Mongo themselves. None of the major clouds do it, neither do the also-rans like IBM or Oracle. So I call shenanigans on them.
> Only large research institutions like (I’m familiar only with the CS research community) MSR, Google Research, Facebook Research, ... as well as already tenured professors can really force the issue.

Well, they can to a certain extent, by submitting their work to open access (preferably fair OA [1]) journals, thus increasing their prestige. I think a more important role here lies with funders, though, and more specifically the people that decide who to fund (although these often are researchers as well).

By currently strongly relying on journal brand names as indicators of "excellence", they're providing the incentive that keeps/forces academics to publish in traditional, paywalled or high-APC journals. They need to find other ways to decide whom to give funding to. (And perhaps have less of a focus on an ill-defined idea of "excellence" as well.)

Disclaimer: I'm part of a just-launched initiative that aims to provide such an alternative. I'd love to hear people's thoughts about this though.

Everyone thinks they have common sense but it all goes out the window when romance is involved. When you decide to date a close coworker, you are setting her (and it’s always her) to lose her job or feel uncomfortable enough that she needs to leave, if it doesn’t work out. Many men don’t even consider that ‘cause hormones.

That’s absurd. You really think it’s the rich commuting 2+ hours each way from the Central Valley far out of public transit range, and the poor paying $5000/mo for walkable urban high rises?

San Francisco’s amenities can only exist because subsidized car infrastructure makes it possible to get here from affordable places, however painfully. Your walkable grocery store’s shelves don’t get stocked without highways and sprawl. The walkabale radius around any BART stop is thoroughly into tech-workers-only price ranges by now (or truly terrifying).
I think the OA requirement is a good step but, as you mention, not enough to get us the entire way there.

The EU and several European funding bodies have made the next step [1], which is to require funded researchers to only publish in journals in which all research is Open Access, pressuring journals to flip their models, and by putting a cap on the publishing fees those journals are allowed to ask.

That said, that still doesn't get us all the way there. Firstly, it remains to be seen how publishers will deal with that - for all we know, they'll set up sibling journals for European researchers. More importantly, though, is that they haven't specified yet how they will decide who gets funded, if the name of the journals one has published can no longer be a factor.

Then again, I'm hopeful that this drastic plan will shake things up enough for a solution to arise eventually.

From the article text, it sounds like one of four options is a smartphone application for tracking mileage. This is significantly different from the idea of a dedicated piece of hardware, which I read your comment to imply.

While I agree this would be a perverse outcome, it is not obvious that such a thing would be "required" at all, let alone "at all times".

Here's hoping that the option never comes to pass, if for no other reason than its being trivially easy to spoof.

According to George Pólya:

“The only student of mine I was ever intimidated by. He was so quick. There was a seminar for advanced students in Zürich that I was teaching and von Neumann was in the class. I came to a certain theorem, and I said it is not proved and it may be difficult. Von Neumann didn't say anything but after five minutes he raised his hand. When I called on him he went to the blackboard and proceeded to write down the proof. After that I was afraid of von Neumann”.

You actually want to know the gist of how these autodiff libraries work to know
a) which approaches are fast and which approaches lead to giant complex gradient graphs.
b) which approaches are stable and which lead to numerically unstable gradients.

You would be surprised how many code is out there (even for influential papers) whose graphs are obviously bad or whose graph could be fixed easily for more stability. Because people don't think about what the gradient looks like, while they should.
I'm thinking of compiling a list of conditions that modern medicine treats well, and conditions where doctors try real hard to help their patients.

For example, my neighbor wrecked his bicycle a few months ago. His doctors decided he needed a couple implants to help his leg bones grow back together optimally. I went over to look for my supposedly-delivered package this evening. He's recovering, slowly. Today he was hobbling around with a cane, and told of going to all the rehabilitation he can get (physical therapy, etc). I don't have formal medical training, but I think the rod in his leg was a reasonable intervention.

Trauma surgeons do amazing work in keeping people alive who in prior centuries rapidly expired from similar injuries.

I don't think modern medicine does well with multi-factorial conditions that develop over long periods of time.

Cancer will be a much smaller business when someone figures out how to put it in a more appropriate context, rather than treat it with the tired old war metaphor.
AD is important to understand for ML practitioners in the same way as compilers are important to understand for programmers. You can get away without knowing all the details, but it helps to understand where your gradients come from. However this paper is probably not be a good place to start if you're new to AD. If you want a better introduction, here are a few good resources:

Autodidact is a pedagogical implementation of AD: https://github.com/mattjj/autodidact

A nice literature review from JMLR: http://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume18/17-468/17-468.pdf

This paper reinterprets AD through the lens of category theory, an abstraction for modeling a wide class of problems in math and CS. It provides a language to describe these problems in a simple and powerful way, and is the foundation for a lot of work in functional programming (if you're interested in that kind of stuff). There was a thread on HN recently that discusses why category theory is useful: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18267536

"Category Theory for the Working Hacker" by Philip Wadler is a great talk if you're interested in learning more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gui_SE8rJUM

Yes, I think you’re right, there are different restrictions on when useState and setState, though it is worrying seeing confusion straight away about it.

I wonder about a case where there is an expandable panel in a UI, and when expanded it should fetch then display data from a web service. Easy enough to do with this API by splitting the content of the panel out into a second component, but it is going to be very tempting to wrap that useEffect fetch call in an `if (expanded)` condition.

On the other hand, there are lots of positives about this design too, the correctly written code does look very elegant and I can see it solving real problems.
> I'd agree it's "magic" in the sense that it's not entirely visible to the end user.

I didn't dive into hooks to completely yet to have a proper opinion on it, but the primary disadvantage of "magic" is that the end user can not deduce what's going on just by looking at the code. If magic is therefore "only" restricted to the end user, that's not much of a restriction...
Department of Interior records slated for destruction
I never looked at the peer review process in that way ("stamp of approval"). For a journal article, as long as it's not a desk-rejection (because the study is not in scope of the journal or such), it's usually an iterative process involving the authors, the reviewers, and the editor, which results in an often greatly improved article. A key person in that process is often the editor, rather than the reviewers (if they do their job well).

Peer review as such does not provide much of a signal as to how important a paper is or a binary "good paper"/"bad paper" decision; ideally, it's a process that helps maintain a certain standard. Conference proceedings typically don't use this process, but (more or less) ask for a simple yes/no (or a 1-5 rating where everyone knows that it's going to be rejected if you don't give a high enough rating because of a 30% acceptance rate etc.).

That is an insane price. Here in Germany I last paid 70 Euros on top of what insurance pays for (which is the very basics - and yes, they pay for amalgam fillings) for a composite fillings. Which one exactly I don't know but it was what I already had, and I never had a problem including with durability. When I still paid full - I switched from private insurance (I pay everything and get reimbursed) back into the semi-public system a few years ago (they pay directly to the dentist or doctor) - it was not much more though. Even the special procedure to remove the last few amalgam fillings including refilling were just some 3xx Euros for three teeth. That dentist is located in a big Bavarian city in the middle of the city in its most expensive shopping street, and yet prices are very sane (I saw and paid them in full for years since overall my costs were well below the high yearly deductible I had chosen for my private insurance).
