So, essentially small businesses and lower/middle income folks will pick up the slack on the missing revenue, and in general in terms of the tax-base tilt:
In essence you are excusing a heavy tilt for the large global corporations that
1) constitute monopolies, in many cases, which are anti-innovation and kill innovation, actually.
2) are killing mom-and-pop small businesses left and right.

"lower taxes for corporations and individuals" which one is it?

I've never seen a lower federal budget, and the "small government" party has brought us 2 wars costing over $7 trillion over 18 years, and a perpetual war on an emotion that has caused an INCREASE in governmental size and spending, overall.

Can you explain your stance a bit?
It's peanuts now. Less so on the tenth or hundredth time they get hit.

> Hardware has grown exponentially in complexity since Linux was initially developed of course, which makes the job of writing a new OS much tougher.

Though, interestingly hardware also got a lot smarter (because usually they have some kind of microprocessor and RTOS on them), so in theory interfacing with it should be more easier. (Serial buses, simple enumerate, simple addressing, we have a lot of good abstractions, no need to fiddle with registers, just use a PCI-E, DMA, I2C library.)

But of course at the same time just supporting these smart standards is hard (because initialization of things is not trivial, even just getting DDR RAM to work requires tinkering with MSRs, and ACPI is its own special hell).

Why Tesla's Model X was the first SUV to receive a perfect crash test rating
You don't get stasis, but the rate of carbon absorption drops, when trees die in the forest some of the carbon that was sequestered gets retained in the soil, most will decompose back into the atmosphere but the slow growth of soil in a forest is tied to nutrients that are being isolated out of the environmental cycle.
This is still one of my favorite deep learning projects, and has inspired a few algorithm ideas in the hospital environment where I work.

Great job on this!
The US numbers I pulled directly from a table in the EEOC report. The EEOC report says the data is from 2014, and the article's charts cite "Latest comparable data as of 2014", so I am not sure why there are minor discrepancies in the article's US numbers unless they didn't use 2014 data.
> So they assume that the average bit of timber lasts thirty years before giving up its carbon, and only about one in six lasts longer than 45 years. I suppose the lifecycle of wooden manufactured items tends to end with them being burnt when they're worn out.

That seems like a pretty bizarre set of assumptions. Wood doesn't just disappear in 45 years unless you leave it in the open untreated.
That type of behavior falls into category of either "income" or "embezzlement".

Google seems to do the same even if you check the box while in an incognito window; I doubt the issue is TOR itself, but rather the lack of tracking data that Google has on that particular session.
For the same reason that monospaced fonts are the correct choice for code: so text can line up. If you you’ve used the terminal, it displays structured information really nicely because of this.

Also in regards to the monospaced fonts, you can easily calculate how much space a block of text will take on the screen.

Clearly, this is not the result of creative accounting, but merely displays just how SKEWED the playing field is in favor of large parasitic corporations, that kill innovation for each small company they acquire or quash.

* on social programs, not the military - would be my guess
Per capita, the US spends more public money on education than other developed countries, and about the same on healthcare (this is only counting public money, so the US is spending the same amount for much lower coverage).

If you think we should be spending even more, can you give numbers? How much, in your opinion should be budgeted per citizen for healthcare and education?

It seems clear to me that lack of money isn't the problem.
Look, I am very lucky to earn enough money to pay a boat load of tax.

I would gladly pay _more_ if it meant the following:

1) there are no riots

2) There are no slums

3) There are good provision for health and social care

4) there is low crime.

5) decent education

none of these wishes are altruistic. why? because all of these thing directly impact _my_ live and _my_ family

slums mean crime hotspots, means no go areas, means muggings. this translates to higher policing, courts and prison costs. it means higher insurance premiums, longer commutes. It pushes up house prices because certian areas are not worth living in. high rentals for everyone.

bad health and social care means less productive workforce, which means less taxes being paid, which means worse public services. (and more tax _i_ have to pay, or fork out for private services)

the choice is this:

cast the longterm unemployed out into the street and suffer the rise in crime, anger and dissent, or pay them a stipend to be happy, content and most of all _cheap_
And yet ... there's a tremendous degree of variety between and among people, but it seems that certain archetypes tend to emerge time and time again in specific positions of power and authority, including in business and politics.

One simply has to wonder if these systems either select for or change those they come in contact with. Which would then point to a systemic rather than individual responsibility role.

The "power law" / all-or-nothing form of VC is really just one flavor of tech investing. It is certainly the most widely discussed, and maybe its the best, i dont know, but there are other successful models.

For ex, many growth equity funds focus on a "doubles and triples" strategy where the risk / return profile is somewhere in between that of a bank loan and VC. They're looking for high probability of 5-7x returns, and low probability of capital loss, for each deal. Theoretically, this "bootstrappers' VC" model can be thought of as a scaled-down growth equity model: revenue-generating businesses in growing markets with potential for near-term profitability

Biotech VC is another good example of a "singles and doubles" strategy generating outperformance. Until the last few years, it was rare for a biotech startup to get to a $1B+ valuation in a 5-7 year venture timeframe, and considered impossible for a biotech startup to become a decacorn in that time period. A successful exit was a ~$500M outcome that returned a 5-10x. These funds have outperformed tech in many cases. See 37:46 here [0]

To build a fund that can return 3x in an environment with constrained exit sizes, you need to focus on consistent doubles and triples: 1) low loss rates, 2) capital efficiency, 3) modest valuations, 4) disciplined investment decisions. I don't know whether the fund math works for this particular "bootstrappers VC" model, but it is certainly possible for a disciplined "doubles and triples" venture fund to perform well

The least they could do is pay out a stock dividend from all the tax money they've managed to avoid paying.
I don't think the article is prescribing a particular moral position. It is saying, though, if you believe your choices are predicated on animals not being conscious, and therefore suffering no harm whatever your actions, perhaps your own moral system requires that you behave differently. This is the case even if lions continue eating zebras.

SQL Server Enterprise costs about $7000 per core, and Adobe Creative Suite (pre-subscription model) was $2600, both oft run on computers that cost less. And those aren't even that expensive overall.
They are not using deep learning because frameworks such as tensor flow are developer tools and (until everyone can code) most work in a company is still done by non-developers.

This is why Uber’s Ludwig[1] is so interesting. With a tool like this I can have non-dev staff creating solutions (the same way that they can create solutions using a spreadsheet).

Having built this kind of thing natively, you actually might! macOS, for instance, has a few race conditions that can (easily) occur when using the built-in spell/grammar-checking functionality on text field/view instances.

...which is exactly the kind of thing that nobody wants to deal with when trying to ship a product. ;P

This myth that you get these things for free with native apps is just that: a myth.
I never said otherwise. But the most critical android vulnerabilities are almost always fixable in userspace.
This is like saying that a spreadsheet with 26 columns and 1000 rows is big data, because it's larger than the budget of a city.

They aren't going to care about what anybody on HN has to say about it because we aren't the audience they are after.

It’s more that copy paste.
It’s a philosophy of what the documentation is for.

If I’m looking at a doc I’m here because I want to do a specific task. The documentation should be task centric like the instructions for a university homework assignment. Imagine you want 30 people to practice a novel task in one evening. You taught them theory in class. Now you want them to try it out. Give them step by step instructions they can use to apply general knowledge to this specific case.

When I’m reading about load balancers and certs I don’t need a textbook. I need examples of specific commands. Instructions on using your tool to do my specific task.
you'll have to build an encoder to encode someone's face into the latent space. then you'll have to dive into the latent space and find the dimension(s) that controls for hair style (just fork the colab and start experimenting with interpolations)

I'm convinced the ambiguity is intentional. What I don't get is what answer they expect in those scenarios.

She would've been better off not lying to investigators. She went to prison for obstruction of justice, not insider trading/securities fraud.
Yeah this makes sense. This one particular example seems fishy but when so many people have voiced their support it's clear something is really broken with Google's procedures. This kind of thing is always hard to deal with though it seems Google does have it worse than many other similar behemoths.
Of course, this is true. My comment was extremely simplistic.

The power of corporations over people is far more subtle and far reaching than all that, and I'm not really referencing any 'conspiracy' junk.

Briefly, I think it fundamentally comes down to a fundamentally pro-company atmosphere that exists in the United States. This has been created after many decades of typically subtle and legal manipulations.

They weren't trying to be evil; they were just trying to maximize shareholder value.
Lately I've been getting reCAPTCHA prompts all the time even though I'm not browsing in incognito mode and haven't cleared cookies. All I'm doing is running a very basic ad blocker, using Safari (which blocks third-party tracking), and very rarely loading a Google site. The most interaction I have with Google is when I end up having to use my corporate Google account as SSO for some other site.

Given that I'm not doing anything unusual, it really feels to me like reCAPTCHA, for all its complexity, boils down to "what's your history using Google software? Oh you rarely use it? I'm gonna give you a captcha". It didn't used to be this aggressive, but it's really ramped up in the past few weeks.
If people really oppose these tax changes why do they keep voting in the people who voted for them in the first place?

The fact is while people oppose them vocally they aren't willing to take any action to do so. People like you stay invested in Amazon while opposing it's business practices, that's just one example of many. Have a prime account, use AWS and so on and so on.

You might have a hundred million on your side but the amount of effort they are willing to put forth is maybe a facebook post so nobody cares.

It's not really a matter of outsized voices, it's just one voice isn't willing to do more than whisper.

I'm dismissing it because the collective energy wasted on people complaining about Electron's rise is getting really old. Until a native environment offers feature-parity with Electron, the discussion won't change, and the sooner people start paying attention to that the better.

Perhaps sentences could be served consecutively rather than concurrently. That would allow a lot more scope.
"In about 15% of cases, customers leave no tip, and DoorDash pays the entire amount, the company tells us. (The default tip is usually set to 15% the app.) ... In the next roughly 45% of cases, customers contribute less than half the money required to meet the minimum quoted fee–called the 'guaranteed amount'–leaving DoorDash to chip in the majority of the fee."

So under their model, if you tip well, you're subsidizing people who don't tip at all.

"overt racism"? I didn't mention race at all in my statement, please calm down SJW. I never said that ALL the top talent is in SV, I said it attracts that kind of talent. Big difference.

If you want to discuss race, let's look at perhaps the best coding college in the United State, MIT. We can probably all agree MIT produces some top talent programmers, right? I know HN is typically anti-college, but I think we can agree on that. 30% Asian, 9% black, and 15% Hispanic. That's 5x higher Asian percentage than the general US population and slightly lower for both black and Hispanic. If that's the pool that companies in SV are pulling from, then of course their diversity numbers won't match the US population as a whole. Look at the colleges near SV too - Caltech (43% Asian), Stanford (22% Asian), Berkley (42%).
In what world is Amazon a large parasitic corporation that is killing innovation? I'm no Amazon fan, but I'd say they're dong more than their fair share of innovation, and given how many companies use their online stores and cloud services, they're the opposite of parasitic.

Income taxes go into the general fund, they aren't allocated to specific spending programs. Obviously any complete elimination of corporate income taxes would have to be coupled with a tax increase on high-income individuals in order to make the change revenue neutral.
Corporations write trade deals. Corporations literally write laws (by proxy) in many cases. Corporations control the media. Corporations pay trusted 3rd parties to promote whatever agenda helps their bottom line. Corporations aren't evil - they're just (by definition) self-interested entities who have decided that government has a high ROI. Those are all actually very inconvenient for me since power is a zero sum game and I'm on the other end of the equation.
Then it's probably regarded as a 'constructive dividend' by the IRS and is liable to tax.

Yeah, the business logic was all over the place. Everything needed to be reverse engineered any time there was a problem, or if you wanted to make any changes.

To make it worse, the app had about 300 scheduled tasks that were a mixture of batch files, SQL scripts and java classes. None of which had source code, most of which were slightly different and essentially operated as mysterious black boxes. We ended up having a copy of JD-GUI on all the production servers because we needed to decompile for debugging so often.
The web happened. And now people use the web GUI to make destkop and mobile applications.
Think back to the state of the art in the 70s when these were thought up. You can cite SIGSALY[1] but it took a really long time for these concepts to be flyable.
