1) That's not how the burden of proof works.
2) This is not a factual or rational thought in the current system. every time the Libertarian or third party does well in an election(like in the last election of 2016), it shows those in power the ideals that are looked at when choosing a candidate. The problem does not inherently lie in the system, it lies in the people telling each other that voting third party is a waste. That train of thought is what is ruining this country(USA), because it's a slippery slope to complete apathy of the system.
I assume they will just hire new workers when the uptake in 5G begins in earnest?

Probably at lower wages to boot.
That's a red herring. We could cut taxes to zero and your investments may go up a little temporarily but it would be catastrophic in medium-to-long term as the dollar collapses and Americans go through a depression and likely a war.
Using the hacking powers mentioned here?

And I bet they could foil even more crimes if everyone had to wear an ankle monitor. Does that make it a good idea?

I'm surprised that so many people are surprised that this was a thing. Ever since I learned that tracking information is present but hidden in an Eve Online alliance's forum[0] for tracking down leakers, I've assumed that anything serious inside or especially outside a video game would have the same resources allocated.

> It's the same logic young people use to justify not voting

He provides some pretty good reasoning that ignoring the news and doing candidate research might be make you a more informed voter.

Could you give an example of something you learned or read in the news that had a practical effect on your life?
The article's headline and its content paint different pictures, with the title really just being clickbait. They're not laying off individuals but paying them to leave including upwards of a year of salary, a bonus, and maintaining benefits. And it was voluntary -- not 'pink slipping.'

I don't really think you can attribute this to the tax breaks, but if you can - then this would be an immense positive. Employee turnover is already very high pretty much everywhere now a days. Getting paid a year of salary, and more, to agree to leave? That's something I think the vast majority of workers would be absolutely thrilled to be offered. It's a potentially life changing offer giving somebody a chance to carry out any entrepreneurial fantasy they have, to get a fat head start on the joy of compound interest, or simply spending a year with bikinis, booze, and beaches if that's your thing.

moral of the story: don't build complicated legal system integration with a foreign power.
Not to mention with all of the recent events in the US related to voter suppression, my question to people who espouse the opinion of "my vote doesn't matter", my question is this. Then why are those in power actively seeking to undermine this ability that is "useless". If it truly was useless I doubt they'd be scared enough to act against it.
Couldn't we immunize before exposure as we do with, say polio, TB, influenza et al? Then no detection would be needed.

Or are the abnormal prions in CJD and the like not uniform enough for general prophylaxis?

I really have a naive understanding of immunotherapy, so sorry if my question is dumb.

Just don’t accept that job if they say no. Look for a new job if your current one doesn’t offer this.
Every time I'm seen a layoff in tech it is always the lower performing employees first out the door. Round 1 is normally just letting people go who should have been fired years before.

Of course this is often when the good employees start doing interviews as well.

Personally, I've considered deleting all mine because quite often years old posts will get flagged for spam or inappropriate material or some other rule despite it being the top voted (and often only) answer. I used to reply and send them their own rules back that they claim I violated and get 90%+ lifted, but after a couple old answers got flagged in the same week and it locked my account for x amount of time I stopped dealing with them. And often I'd have to appeal the same post over and over again anyway. It would get blocked, I'd get it reinstated, and then it would get blocked again so it was just frustrating.

I used to be top 7 in a specific niche but it wasn't worth dealing with their moderation appeals constantly. It's not quite as bad now that I am not in the top lists.
How does lowering costs to businesses result in layoffs? The tax cut has nothing to do with these layoffs. Were there not layoffs during the Obama administration?

If a company just announced they are hiring a bunch of people, does the tax credit get credit for that? Currently, the US has very low unemployment. Also, in December 2017, wage growth was at 2.9%, while now it has increased to 3.7%. So almost a full percentage point in less than a year. Is that because of the tax cut? It would be very difficult to say for sure, but one thing is clear from the data, the tax cut didn’t reduce wage growth.
Yeah, I said exactly the same thing to myself in a section of this post that didn't make the final cut (I'm the author). I definitely agree that, if you put this in your UI, you'd have to create a sticky control pane that reminds the reader what mode they're in, and lets them bail out at any time. When a reader does bail, they should be looking at the same content as before. It shouldn't jump them to some other section.
True, but in the cold parts of the year, those lights are 100% efficient. They provide light (primary), and heat (secondary).

Its only during the warmer parts of the year do they turn into a significant burden, energy wise.
Yeah you are probably right, these 10,000 can probably be outsourced.
It’s either take the money now, or if they don’t get enough takers be laid off without as much if any incentive later on.
6 months emergency fund is for normal economic situations. When you get a situation like the financial crisis where companies aren't hiring for more than a year, then 6 months doesn't help much. Especially when businesses in your town shut down or your entire industry is suffering. The financial crisis wasn't your normal recession. It hurt a lot of people who followed the rules.

But if you applied for a layoff and didn't get it, isn't that exactly what you want? And in the meantime you get to make more. It's a win-win!
Evidently that doesn’t damage your public support anymore.

Correlation does not imply causation. Can you provide evidence tax cuts stoked existing economic momentum? Or is the economy on fire despite these tax cuts?

Stock buybacks [1] done with these tax cuts, enriching shareholders, does little to stoke economic demand or benefit the middle class [2]. More likely, cheap, loose credit is what has allowed the music to carry on.

Thanks. I'll update the "prior work" section.
>Sure, with $1 million maybe you could retire in Cambodia but for most 1st world people $1 million is not enough be able to stop working for someone else and do what you want.

.

>I'm confident $1million is not even close enough to be able to do that in most 1st world countries.

The average HOUSEHOLD income in the US is around 59k.

1 million is about 300k more than I need to retire today at 33 with a 3% safe withdrawal rate assuming I never work another day in my life and never marry. I only gross 34k a year.
Wait, Verizon doesn't have access to $4B? Verizon surely has significantly more net income than Tmobile. And therefore also has access to more leverage. $4B would not make that big of a difference.
Yes, it's absurd to consider that there will be any large-scale violation of thermodynamics in the indefinitely far future. Literally, nothing is less probable.
They won't lose much sleep over a couple tens of millions of dollars, but I'm sure someone will lose their job.
Why aren't you asking this of all the comments in this parent? People seem to be blaming Verizon cutting 10,000 jobs on the tax cuts. Or claiming that jobs weren't created. Or that somehow the tax cuts were an economic negative. None of those things can be attributed to causation.

Wouldn't that be why it wouldn't. It can't export their models because they require to much information. In places like europe it would be a nightmare to use any of it. So in China it would be ok, but outside it's hard to implement.
Good luck with that unless you're a special snowflake....
Here is a video [0] of him with it on, yeah, nothing like the Apple watch. Also on the topic of cheap Chinese watches I would read the section of this article on the smartwatch [1] and note this was published 2 years ago. That whole article is interesting but the smartwatch and their contact who said it only cost them $6 to make (note they bought the watches for just under $10 each):

> If the factory sold the watches for $7.49, how much could they possibly cost to make? That’s a question that can be awfully hard to get answered. Not really expecting an answer, we asked our friend to ask his friend. She was happy to tell us: $6.

> Six dollars for: a GSM chipset, a CPU, an LCD screen, a battery, a PCB, a metal housing, a molded silicone watch band, a MicroUSB cable, and a box. And the labor to assemble and test all of that.

If you're invested in VTSMX, represents 1% or less of your US equity holdings.

This disproportionately helps the executives & major investors in Verizon, does little or nothing for the IRA/401k of working schlubs like me, and puts 10,000+ families into a state of economic insecurity.

The better framework for decision-making is the trusty cost-benefit analysis. For starters, it always reminds you that decisions have costs:

> If you are correct and you vote, nothing happens.

Not true. If you vote, something does happen — you take time out of your day to vote. You're also likely to spend a lot of time researching candidates and issues, following along with the results, telling everyone else that you voted, etc. That investment of time, emotion, and energy comes at a cost. Most importantly, there's the opportunity cost: you could direct those resources to other things, e.g. reading a book, volunteering at a shelter, improving your career, getting extra sleep, etc.

Voting is only worthwhile (at an individual level) if the benefits end up being worth the costs, just like any other decision or course of action.
It doesn't say what growth – perhaps it's revenue growth, but my interpretation would be network/bandwidth/user/devices growth. The unfortunate thing with these huge service providers is that the number of people they staff to operate their infrastructure grows in conjunction with their network/bandwidth growth. Their operations simply doesn't scale as compared to the web-players who manage their global network with 10-20 people. Cutting costs and automating is something that is long overdue at these companies, and will be imperative when moving to mass-scale 5G networks. I'm not so sure the gains are to be "maximized" as you say, I think actually being able to make a profit will be hard enough in the coming years.
Physical processes cannot be made arbitrarily more efficient. There are thermodynamic limits to computation, the same as any other form of work.
>Your comment sounds a lot like "joggers have no place on my bike path" or "the road is for cars, not bikes"

Bikes on roads are required to obey the same signals and markings cars do, as well as staking in their lane (if one exists). Plenty of bike paths have separate lanes for walkers/joggers and bikes...the closing speed of one can be an order of magnitude higher than the other....

>The only reason scooters are an "issue" is because they are new and that newness

No, operating a powered vehicle on sidewalks is nowhere near as novel as you think it is, and the courts should have no difficulty addressing the fining/prosecution of those that do so. I don't know why people think "battery-electric scooter/skateboard" requires a paradigm shift in how to define a moving violation.

>This "issue" will be solved eventually if scooters do become popular enough to take part in accidents actually harm people with any meaningful regularity.

Great. We just need a sufficient number of electric-scooter related deaths and injuries to overcome the natural inertia of the criminal justice system &&|| trial bar. Then someone will fix the problem.
No. I know nothing of Uber's capital structure. I helped take a couple of companies public that only offered a minority fraction of their equity to the public markets. They structure as a different class of share.
I think people are aware, they are just unable to understand the price they actually pay for such things. Answers like "well I have nothing to hide so I don't care if some FBI agent sees what I masturbate to" or "ads don't make me want to buy the product" show that the average person either doesn't fully understand the technology or completely misses the point. When you try to explain to someone how a goofy insurance commercial isn't supposed to "make them want to go and switch insurance" they just don't get it.

There is a case to be made that things were going well enough based on the previous economic momentum from pent up demand. That pent up demand was based on all the cost cutting based on economic catastrophe from 2008.

Even if you believe the tax cuts have had some positive effect on the economy, every legitimate economics professional and reality based think tank said that in order for the tax cuts to pay for themselves growth has to be 6%. Last time I looked it was 4.5%. These tax cuts won't pay for themselves. And the austerity we're in store for when the economy takes a down turn, which is inevitable, will be quite painful.

Hey remember when conservatives used to advocate for fiscal responsibility and balancing the budget? That's only for when Democrats are in charge. It's all an excuse to throw poor people under the bus.
I noticed my post missed the point a bit... I was thinking about functions that check properties of bit sequences, not functions that check properties of predicates on bit sequences.

I get how it works now, thanks. Wish I could edit/delete my old post :-/.

Just to check my understanding: a terminating program that decides bit sequences will have

- a maximum number of bit checks it will make regardless of input, and

- a maximum bit index it will access regardless of input, and even

- a maximum running time (measured however).

It's worse than what you're stating. Spectre is remotely exploitable with network packets (NetSpectre).

They have several options available to them, all of which also let's you run sandboxed untrusted code in the same MMU context as trusted code.

If they don’t get enough employees to voluntarily leave, you can be sure that there will be forced layoffs (with probably worse terms).

Imagine you’re a 50 year old employee with a kid in college. Would you be thrilled to accept a year of salary with limited job prospects? What jobs do you think will be the first to be cut?

Don’t try to sugar coat it - when there are lay-offs (voluntarily or not), it’s rarely a positive for the majority of affected employees. And this in no way should be considered a positive effect of the corporate tax cuts.

Oh to be clear, we only ever did this for arenas, and only charged in-game gold. But even that became impossible when they changed the ranking system. I never did anything but arenas so I can't comment on pulling someone through raids.

We couldn't pull anyone past top 5% or so 2v3, so mounts were infeasible.

I totally believe that a lot of people would be doing that for real money though.

That's a bit inaccurate.

Weeds are pioneer species (species that quickly colonize damaged or degraded areas). They aren't always native. They do have their uses for soil improvement, both structurally and nutrient availability, but if you're tilling anyway, or your animals are being poisoned by the weeds, you won't be that impressed.

The soil has plenty of minerals in it. But most plants can't access them without symbiosis with fungi, which are all dead from the tilling.
I suggest putting the source of information more prominently, and adding links to each piece of information. Especially in more tricky situations, e.g. a Bangladeshi traveling to Israel, it is much more helpful if the additionally mentioned Tip of "Confirmation from Israeli government required before visa is issued" would contain a link at least to the wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh%E2%80%93Israel_rela...

Similarly, I am wondering how to deal with unofficial or temporary information, e.g. Saudi Arabia did not issue visas to Bangladeshi/Pakistani/Nepalese travelers for a while two years ago, without any reason stated or any official information as to why. Similarly there are restrictions which would be great to be included, e.g. an "unaccompanied" female traveler with a muslim sounding name may not receive a visa to Iran, again, without official documentation.

Then there are cases in which a US-visa with at least one entry stamp enables you to travel visa-free (e.g. Georgia) or makes you eligible for visa-on-arrival, similarly e.g. the coverage of an existing Schengen-visa would be great to show you eligibility across the map.

Would you care to put your source into Gitlab.com or Github.com or similar, to enable pull requests from travelers who run into updated information? That would make this a great, constantly updated source of information!

I might be reaching a bit, but I'd think that, with current technology, psyops etc., it should not be that hard to defeat any rebellion before it ever starts - whether by neutralizing (not "kill" in the USA, but deincentivize, defame or frame) potential leaders or stopping public discourse from ever reaching that stage.

Let’s assume that Mobile users (across the world) are open to making these micro-transactions (I think they likely are). These would qualify as in-app purchases. This makes Apple + Google the gatekeepers to this happening.
There are several integer values between 0 and 10400.
Sounds like empty political rhetoric and speculation. FTA: Verizon is "cutting costs as it ramps up investment in its next generation 5G network" Maybe that will mean future jobs in other areas. Maybe the people they're buying equipment from/contracting to will add more jobs. The bottom line is how do you really know?

"Stock buybacks done with these tax cuts, enriching shareholders, does little to stoke economic demand."

Stock buybacks don't 'enrich' anyone. Money that is owned by investors goes from 'inside the company' to 'outside' and it
's superficially a net neutral transaction.

What those buy backs do do however is free up capital to be used in more intelligent ways than can be used by the single entity, in this case Verizon, who may not have any great ways to invest it.

Tax cuts probably have not directly affected companies just yet, but the signalling value of it, and that Trump is believed to be a 'pro business' guy (minus trade wars) is at least partly buyoing the economy by providing a dose of faith.

Though stocks are staggering a little because there's fear of no more upside ... there's no real fear yet as no reason for anything to burst. Though a major China trade war - or - a serious setback in China could make a serious correction.
