But why should the poor be punished more than the rich? If you do that too much the poor put on yellow vests and start breaking things. It’s kind of a French tradition. At least this time they aren’t building guillotines.
- Because Mandarin is the official language only of China (and Taiwan)?

- Because English already has a great momentum (with the number of speakers of English as a second language, pop culture and the Internet)?
Ironically, he didnt lose a cent in BTC. He bought well below the levels today. He also sold them at $4k with profit. His losses are from altcoins, which were never really worth anything to begin with.

They give out Academy Awards for those, so there's a large prestige element. Also, not commonly known, but many FX tools are research-based so there's a strong research component driving many FX developments.
Check out Michael Pettis’s writings re China and its growth model. There’s a long and glorious tradition in SE Asia of squeezing domestic consumption to the benefit of investment and mercantilist policies. While this boosts growth, and has contributed to S Korea becoming a first world country, it also creates significant imbalances, notably growth in inequality and a larger corporate/production sector. Rebalancing is painful (China has been desperately trying to avoid this, including all the activity it is trying to import through OBOR) and the change S Korea is seeing is actually predictable - the corporate sector has to shrink while the consumption market expands.
I'd like a system that can track things on different levels. Whether it be the business plan or the sprint stories, it's the same thing at a different level and translating between them can be tough.
That's pretty easy to conclude based on the business models of said companies. Why would anyone want to reach a different conclusion, especially when Google has shown apathy towards location data collection on Android, bypassing Safari's cookie handling to track users, etc.?

EFF flips Bird the bird, says Boing Boing post doesn’t violate copyright law
I believe the author added the 'as a millennial' bit because everyone's feeds for the past couple of years have been bombarded by posts about 'digital nomads', the seemingly lucky few that are their own bosses and live out of a suitcase and a Macbook in exotic-seeming places like Slovakia, Argentina or Vietnam.
Well, that's only if you believe that "consumption" is a good thing that is supposed to be encouraged.

In reality, it is the opposite. Consumption, is by definition the destruction of resources.

I am not sure why people believe that the destruction of resources is something that we should be promoting.

Instead, we should be promoting savings, and the preservation of resources, as well as the creation of capital.
> But from a mathematical point of view this insistence of focusing on empirical work is a little bit disheartening isn’t it?

Why? The only thing that matters is the quality of the empirical work. You can get caught up in philosophical debates about the best way to do research. If it has no impact on empirical work, it's useless.

That's not to say Pearl's arguments are wrong or that his work is useless. The problem is the incompleteness of his arguments. You can't arrogantly dismiss empirical work just because it's imperfect. There's no reason a priori to expect that Pearl's approach will lead to better decisions.

There are many self-proclaimed experts who can point out the flaws in programming language designs, but that doesn't mean they can design a better language, and it doesn't mean existing programming languages are useless. Pearl's approach is not some kind of magic pixie dust that suddenly guarantees your empirical work is more trustworthy. It's unfortunate that Pearl thinks it is, and it prevents him from having a reasonable conversation about the topic.
I was actually searching for this very example but incorrectly remembered it as LA Times (but it was the Chicago Tribune). Not sure if this is a loss to people in the EU if the CT would go dark for them. Maybe annoying to expats but not sure if anyone here would cry over them. This might have in fact been the reason why they didn't bother with compliance in the first place (no subscribers/reader from EU)?
This applies to news as well, and in this form is more dangerous. There's almost always a story behind a story -- someone with an agenda who pitches a reporter on publishing their narrative

So the news you read isn't necessarily the most accurate take (you could argue it's almost never the most accurate take), and there is often a tremendous amount of bias that most people never know exists. A disproportionate number of stories come from a small but motivated group with an agenda. Those with no agenda don't care as much about getting their perspectives distributed

This isn't a novel observation, but i still think most people take news at face value more often than they should.

I think it's also a good example of why it's important to make your voice heard, even if it's as simple as commenting on Reddit / HN. Having informed public discussions requires that informed but disinterested (i.e. unbiased) parties make their voices heard.
Context: I am a data analyst who previously was an auditor. JIRA was a game changer for me and I would have loved to have used it during my Audit career. As such, I want an Issue Tracker that works for technical and non-technical individuals.

I would want my Issue tracker to be deeply integrated with the company's Shared File System and Developer tools so all team members have a place to share their work. The Task page would be a place where all the work done could be shared in a clean way and even serve as a quasi-wiki. Like a Jupyter Notebook, I would love to include Markdown and Code along with attachments, analyses, and opinions. Everything would be included, not just the final relevant pieces. Side-analyses stemming from anomalies and potential issues would be hidden but there for those who need them. If something changed in an attachment like an Excel file, these changes would be reflected. Adding dependencies on files and the information contained within them could be linked so that if Account Manager A changes File B, I know that my work on Ticker 123 is now potentially conflicted.
> It's not like money paid as taxes just evaporates. It's spent, i.e. put right back into the economy.

That's not how taxes work. It actually does evaporate. Money is an IOU from the government that it guarantees it will accept as payment. The government doesn't actually need to give itself an IOU (it doesn't make sense except as a way to keep track of internal accounting obligations); it burns the IOUs it gets back in order to preserve the value of its still circulating IOUs.

It's always important to remember that governments print money, they don't discover it. The government doesn't need it from you, it needs you not to have it in order to keep it somewhat scarce.

I wonder if pg ever wrote something along the lines of that old pinnacle of masturbatory pandering: "The first differentiator of an elite developer is to read industry blogs, which you're already doing, so congratulations!"

It's a bit subtler than that.

On paper, if you increase wages and taxes to subsidize demand, you encourage consumption. And it actually works ... provided consumers a) aren't over their ears in debt (which they are) and b) are buying from locals (which they aren't, at least for industrial goods).

The French learned this the hard way during a short period in the early 1980s. They did exactly that, and it drove consumption up as expected, but this actually ended up helping more competitive manufacturers from their trading partners.
I love how it's more important to have high economic growth than to pay people a living wage.

What exactly is the alternative that everyone here is suggesting? Lower taxes and the growth will somehow give these people more money? Really? No. It may increase growth, but that money will go to the people on top and the people on the bottom will be exactly where they were.

At least in this case, the money is redistributed to people who need it.
Level – team communication optimized for deep work
The korean economy is at the moment ill and rotting away. The youngsters expect to be employed by the big corps earning big bucks while having insane job security.
Samsung pays massive salaries , 15-17 salaries a year and companies face insane conditions due to super strong labor unions.

No the real change would be to cut the bullshit for korean laborers. Korean workers spend insane amount of time at work DOING ABSOLUTELY nothing because their supervisor has some work to finish and is unable to delegate / manage better.

Koreans have serious issues with productivity and the country should aim to ease the burden on both workers and companies.
Why RSUs over options? In CA, in particular, if you're at a rocketship, the tax benefits of early exercised options can be huge, whereas with RSUs you're paying 30-40% to the government.
HI, I'm the author of this proposal, and I'm looking for feedback for this proposal. For example, are there any design flaws and shortcomings in it? Any improvement ideas are also welcome.
Agreed... I'm a little surprised they wouldn't adapt to work/build to wasm+webgl target. It seems to me that could make a pretty good cross platform base.
An interest rate is a price for a specific commodity (time preference on lent money)... it is nothing like taxes.

Interest rates (when controlled by a market) are a signal of how receptive a market is to investment in new capital or business, lower rates encouraging expansion and higher rates put on the brakes.

So for instance if the market is already growing at a healthy clip and a bank could invest money in existing business and get a higher return, they will not lend to you at a lower rate, unless your expected innovation or business can exceed the existing marketplace yield... which would cause you to accept a higher interest rate.

Taxes merely move buying power by edict to other enterprises. There is no tacit communication of any information, there is no price, and the only information used is the whims of the few individuals redirecting the spending.
While the concepts are similar, there is a legal difference between equity crowd funding (presumably under the JOBS Act) and a a non-security instrument Public Offering exempt from securities laws (ie Packers Stock or similar)
Econ undergrads might say that raising taxes hurts growth, as might highschool students. Policy experts and professional economists are very much divided on the issue. There is plenty of evidence where raising taxes appears to produce economic growth, where it doesn't make any difference, and where it appears to hinder growth.

Raising the minimum wage also redistributes money to low wage earners, who tend to spend their all money, as opposed to richer people who save. Increases to the velocity of money results in economic growth. That's one of the counterarguments to the minimum wage argument. Society is complex and when you change the minimum wage it has rippling effects on employment, housing, consumer spending, investment and so forth. On top of that you have psychological effects and signalling issues. Predicting the consequences of a minimum wage hike is hard.

The real world is not Macro 101, and pretending policy questions like these are trivial is very very silly.

Korea is already super consumerist and much more service oriented country than the US.
There is nothing new about this article. The article is pointing out that in addition to the trapdoors of the proving system, it's possible to subvert the arithmetic circuit used as well. The ceremonies used by Zcash have the property that the parameters are perfectly bound to the circuit.

Not sure why this isn't mentioned in the article.

> This article is about the fact that there could be a backdoor, whose absence can only be proven by revealing all participants' toxic waste.

This is incorrect, as stated above. Instead of revealing their toxic waste, we reveal proofs-of-knowledge so we can use pairings to ensure the parameters encode the circuit correctly.

What fixes an economy is...to fix whatever is broken about it. If your tax rate is 99% and it is causing massive tax accounting shenanigans to suck up otherwise valuable time and energy, reducing the tax rate is good. If your tax rate is 1% and your government can't do anything to maintain law and order, raising the tax rate is good.

If your tax rate is not the problem, then neither raising nor reducing it will fix the problem. Perhaps, in South Korea, the tax rate was not the problem.
How many users can you handle logging in at once?
The problem is if I allow freetext someone will forget critically important information - like what product they were having problems with. Not to mention version numbers, and other details of their setup that are important.
Also note that DNS will load balance the IP presented. For instance 'dig'ing yahoo.com gives me the following:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
yahoo.com.	92	IN	A	72.30.35.9
yahoo.com.	92	IN	A	98.138.219.231
yahoo.com.	92	IN	A	72.30.35.10
yahoo.com.	92	IN	A	98.137.246.7
yahoo.com.	92	IN	A	98.138.219.232
yahoo.com.	92	IN	A	98.137.246.8

So you can now multiple the quad by the number of public IPs you load up into your DNS record.

This is great. I remember back to the late 90s when I was busy hacking gamex86.dll to customise my Quake2 Death-matches with my friends.

One thing I wonder about this release is though - the Original Quake2 engine had a very fixed palette and also some odd lighting that always skewed the palette to a brown tint - does qengine fix this?

Also... Bonus... Some Quake2 maps, that I made way back: http://www.jaruzel.com/blog/my-quake2-maps

And don't forget that during years of steep stock appreciation, like much of the past decade, actual compensation will often be higher than that.

You're ignoring the context of Japan having been the aggressor and the United States (and its allies in the Pacific, including - again - China) wanting to end the war as quickly as possible.

Like, you do know about World War II, right? How Japan bombed Pearl Harbor? How Japan invaded China and murdered/raped its people? How Japan threatened and attempted to do the same to the rest of the Pacific, including the US? Four years of bloody non-stop full-scale war led up to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Those bombings were not done lightly.

It was a regrettable but necessary decision. China's past and present atrocities do not carry anywhere near that degree of necessity.
Who's not accepting it? If a country can use something to spy on others it will. No doubt in my mind that China controls them 100%, one way or another, so...
One quibble I would make with the article is that you are not actually limited to ~65k connections from a client. It is only ~65k per IP address on the client (given that they're all talking to a single remote port)

You can add NICs or virtual IPs and bind your client instances to specific IP addresses instead of INADDR_ANY.

The software renderer of Quake 2 has a very unique look that is hard to reproduce with shaders. Limitations are part of the fun. Games can use the existing Q2 palette, create their own, or use the palettes from Doom, Duke Nukem or Q1.
I'm in my 50s. All my friends have similar feelings to yours. We have endless wars, bombing, drone strikes with no goal other than vaguely stopping terrorism. We are in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Africa now, Pakistan. We kill militants and/or terrorists that wish us harm, and we annually bomb a number weddings and kill a lot of innocents.

We don't have a strategy or goal or even clear enemy. We just do it because we are powerful. Of course there are people that want to kill us, blow up our airliners. But it's not clear we are doing anygood.

We have to set actual goals, not just being there and bombing targets of opportunity, saying sorry when it goes wrong. What's our goal? We don't have one.
Rude? Honestly no. Classless? Yeah, definitely. I sincerely believe that is an important distinction to draw. Especially for products so hilariously high end as a "giant yacht" and a Lamborghini branded massage chair that may also be a Decepticon.

I think there's a story here. Double standards are clearly present with the disqualification of a sex toy for women while also hosting VR porn and Real Dolls. However, as the links in this piece illustrate, those stories have been written.

Pieces like this take a conscious effort on my end to not dismiss as borderline clickbait because I want to see opinions that aren't my own. It just gets harder when the article is sprinkled with groan inducing tweets such as: "It's like me too never happened"
Moritz Thomsen, in My Two Wars, wrote of service as a bombardier. He quoted instructors as saying things along the lines of "You missed the Ruhr, but you still hit Germany." I don't think that those who served in the bombers had many illusions.
> proper bidirectional email interface

This reminds me somewhat of a helpdesk trouble-ticketing system. I wonder if the reason issue trackers don't tend to support email gateways is to increase engagement with the tool, or if they just aren't talking to their customers' external collaborators.
Can you be more specific, please? Like which interface is not well defined?

I find the fact that systemd internals are connected via the same mechanisms as non-systemd apps (units, sockets and so on) very nice, especially compared to sysvinit or upstart. Have you tried to patch network detection in upstart? Not an easy job. And upstart's manpages are less than useful, compared to systemd's.

Above in the other threads someone said "journal". This is a good point, except there is --log-target=kmsg option which disables that interface and switches it to good old kmsg which anyone can parse and read.

Any others?

In case you couldn't tell by all the old-timey photos, train ferries are, if not outright obsolete, at least way past their prime.

NYC and NJ, for example, used to have hundreds of wharves all along the Hudson and East River for loading and offloading train ferries. They're almost all gone. What killed them? 18-wheel trucks with interchangeable trailers. It turns out it's much easier to handle last-mile distribution using trucks that use bridges and tunnels than to float train cars across rivers.

No, the clear thing here that applies up and down the hierarchy is that managers should not have sexual relations with their reports. It's not a complicated rule that people should not be put in the position of having to decide whether refusing sex will ruin their career.
I suspect that with acting:

1. Luck does indeed play at big role in getting a break, the right roles, the right director, etc. A lot of people who could have become big stars don't. People know this and leap from there to the whole thing being pretty random.

2. It's often not obvious what makes a great actor that much greater than someone who is not quite so great. Film probably accentuates the differences. But even with mid- to top-level professional theater, the whole cast is probably pretty solid, but the stars really shine in hard to put your finger on it ways. In more "normal" professional roles, it's usually a lot easier to peg why someone is just better than someone else.
