1) The $505M is conditional if they bring 40k jobs. If it's only 25k jobs, that turns into $325M. This money is meant for construction costs. [1]

2) Who cares? Do we need a popular referendum for every business moving to New York? That's insane. There's a reason why we're a republic and not a direct democracy.

> With respect to your math, the goal of government is not to maximize tax revenue, but to provide benefits for residents.

That remaining tax money would improve infrastructure around LIC.

Also, as someone who used to live in LIC, who gives a shit? It's mostly yuppies and luxury housing until you get to Court Square. Sure, you have Queensbridge up north, but if public housing can survive in Manhattan, it'll survive in LIC. This is as low impact as you can get.

Once some methane comes out of the most southerly permafrost the earth will warm up and defrost a greater amount, which will warm up the earth a larger amount...
> It would be public information if they did receive any tax incentives.

Sure, if you dig for it. New York is notorious for burying records under obscure bureaucracy.

> As far as I understand, Google, Facebook, and Amazon's already existing 5,000 NYC jobs have been achieved the good old fashioned way, sans bribery.

Just because a reporter hasn't decided to go digging for evidence (and succeeded) doesn't mean these companies didn't get breaks and subsidies. There are programs that cover certain areas of Lower Manhattan, though generally south of 96th St. there are not many city incentives. The state incentives that Amazon qualified for in LIC they certainly already qualify for, at least in part, as do Facebook and Google.
Prolog is a great idea with one huge flaw that annoys me so much I don't want to use it even for side projects. It complected rule declarations and search algorithm hints.

As for your comment about size, Prolog was designed in part to parse things, so it's really good at it. Some other programs in it are trickier and require a certain affinity to Prolog way of thinking.

If someone made a Prolog with cleaner syntax that completely segregates rules from hints, I would probably use it a lot.
Two kinds of ideas I would consider harmful to the point of using the force of law to ban them: antivax materials, and the kinds of comments broadcast over media leading up to and during the Rwandan genocide that lead to that genocide taking place.

I could not in good conscience say "the kids who die of preventable illness, their lives are worth it so antivax people can spread misinformation without consequence."

I could not in good conscience say "the Tutsi lives lost were worth protecting the Hutu rights to free speech."
You could do something with rusts feature system and macros. In essence you'd have a macro that would run a different line of code if your feature is enabled versus disabled, so you could use the unbounded lookup on the array.

That said, this would be a user implementation and wouldn't be likely to be provided by the standard Library

No offense but that isn't a redesign, it is a gutted version that takes signal rich features out and makes Github much less usable. Signals like "number of releases", "number of contributors", "languages used in the project", and "number of commits" are all important ways that people evaluate an open source project before adopting it.

This redesign even hides the "Insights" tab. Maybe that makes sense if you are someone who only ever pushes code, but if you are a user of open source, and doing something like trying to determine whether an NPM module is healthy, then one of the best signals available to you is to click on the repo for the module and check the "Insights" tab to see if it is actively maintained, if it is a one person project or a group effort, etc. Even if the project has no activity and therefore nothing to populate the "Insights" tab that is actually also an important signal that this project is probably kind of dead and if there are fixes that need to be made I'll have to do them myself.
I might like the idea guy (I can think of two) but I have a hard time taking "idea guy" seriously professionally.
But it does and it will take away an amount of sovereignty. "Excuse me AWS, Can you send me every hard drive used in the storage of Dataset X? Not copies, the original drives. I need to destroy all the drives per regulations." GDPR muddies the waters too. If AWS is the cause of a fuck up and a bucket is accessible on the internet, good luck proving your company shouldn't be saddled with the GDPR fine. AWS will have the technical means, monetary incentive and reputational impunity to claim it was your own fault.

Then there is the fact that a decade on the numbers are in; Cloud isn't any cheaper at the scale of most established businesses AWS wants to court. Often it's more expensive.

None of this will actually slow adoption. It probably should, but it won't.

I don't quite understand how the proposed "diversity of platforms" is supposed to help?

Ending up with a "liberal facebook" and a separate "conservative facebook" seems like the worst possible outcome. It will just reinforce tribalism, and destroy any remaining resemblance of a commonly trusted source of truth. There will be two sets of economic indicators every quarter, and both will be wrong. At that point, political discussions will just be fan-fic.

The root of the problem seems to be a large fraction of people opposed to either the existence, or at least the possibility to adjudicate, truth: "Some people say the earth is round(ish). Others say it's flat. Who am I to judge?"
This can probably done with CSS. Also assembly language. You can do it with assembly language as well.
Indeed, what constitutes violence isn't a universally shared understanding.

Firstly, congratulations on your success. But a note of caution - the business/commerce world also faces entropy and success slow decays unless you are constantly nudging your cash-cow in the correct direction...are you? Decay is slow, but before you know it the opportunity goes away. I hope you dont ignore this to the point where you lose it over time.

I'd distinguish this comment from other comments in that it is OK to not scale this to $4m, but it would be a shame to see this decay to $300k, then $200k, and then disappear.
Workers have been “demanding” higher wages for quite some time. I’m not sure why it would work any better this time.

Outside of technology workers are still looked at as replaceable and expendable. I’m not sure what is going to break the ceiling in this climate.
That's a strange incident... the man had a reserved seat. He appears to have been so drunk he couldn't move. Why did the woman not just sit in his seat? Was it the principle? The vitriol of the Weibo comments, if they are genuine, suggest that some very important social contract was broken. But it just doesn't seem like a very big deal to me, especially since it appears that there were guards available to move him and they (sensibly in my view) chose not to.

AWS carried Amazon out of mediocrity in 2008. It accounts for something like 70% of operating revenue. What does 'overtake' mean?
> I find the older guys - both on mobile (few) and COBOL (most) to be much more focus on engineering a system that lasts whatever you throw at them, while (most, not all) young coders are about speed and hashing something together that works (but needs overhaul after 3-4 years).

I've noticed that tendency in younger developers too and it's utterly infuriating. Do you do anything to discourage this and, if so, what?
I'd personally wait until they're $20 used on eBay, then attempt to reverse-enginner the protocol so it can be controlled by Python and a Linux box.
The whole article is criticisms and controversies, I love it.
That's not limited to large payments such as home improvements, either. I do the same thing to pay the guy who comes to tune our piano; I even did it to pay each of the individual cleaners who did a few hours end-of-tenancy cleaning for us the last time we moved.

Checking my chequebook, I see it's well over a year since I last used it.
The attempt and failure of an idea doesn't mean the idea won't work in your current setting. It usually means the implementation was off.
Diversity Makes Us Smarter
Ideas guys are only any use where there are "doer" guys and for every Steve Jobs or Elon Musk there is always a team of enthusiastic engineers who have to interpret all this shit and make it real.
Is it just me that I find "stealth" startups seriously delusional in their own idea? Ideas are cheap, execution is difficult. Theranos was "stealth" startup to create investor impression of something like a SkunkWorks project.

"Abstain from applying if you have/expect a managerial/lead role. We need manpower, not decision makers." - You should really remove this clause from your job listing in future. It reflects bad on the position and gives no hope for the prospects to join and have a promising career that doesn't stall. It’s enough to just say “The position is for an Engineer”.

W3schools helped me land my first job. I learned pretty much everything by reading through it, HTML, Javascript, CSS, PHP, MySQL....don't get why people are bashing them, it was a great resource to have a around.
$90 for a bedside lamp isn't really that much compared to their competitors. It's a splurge but it's really no different than buying something designer -- and it's a lot more functional than most designer lighting.

Plus the cost of getting your lighting connected to your network will run you about $40 on its own in the price of the bulb or built into the stand.
Yea, pretty much. I wonder if the author was paid by Casper or they genuinely gave them free advertising. Knowing about Capser's advertising techniques, I'd guess it was the former.
TransferWise charges a small fee even for conversions within their Borderless account.

In the Revolut app, I can convert, for example, EUR>USD>EUR (on a weekday; they tack on an additional 0.5% or so on weekends) and maybe lose a cent in the process.
But Scott Hanselman thinks it's all about MS killin' our pappies.
The very last paragraph explains it:

> "Rudin's production opened on Broadway in December to generally strong reviews. But the show itself was the subject of controversy last year when the Lee estate sued, claiming Sorkin's adaptation was too far removed from the original story. Rudin and the Lee estate settled the suit in May, just one month before the trial was set to begin."

Rudin is angry over having to pay for an adaptation, so he pushed back, and it's his right so.

Experimentation serves a purpose and that purpose is to see whether they can fill a gap missing in go.
Amazon also wouldn't exist in their current capacity without all their warehouse workers. I think the idea is that Bezos could have either sold some of Amazon stock over the years and paid his warehouse workers a better wage or he could have put some of his shares into an options pool for his warehouse workers. If he did that maybe he would only have $10B in wealth today, but many warehouse workers would be better off.

Instead, he kept all those shares and has more money than he could ever spend and many warehouse workers have worked incredibly hard and been unable to build any wealth over the years.
On their Windows phones Nokia's Finnish autocomplete was actually even a bit better -- it suggested suffixes and was pretty accurate. I wonder how they trained it.
Thank you for taking the time to write this up and mock up your suggestion. I could not agree more on your changes. (Might have some issues with the position of the new buttons and lack of releases link but that’s minor).

The only thing I’d add back somehwere under the description would be the languages the project uses and its labels.
That's not necesarily true. The NDA means that Amazon has more information than the cities as was pointed out, so the cities are absolutely at a disadvantage. There's really no circumstance where information asymmetry is a positive thing, since the party with more information could always potentially exploit it. At best, you are no worse off than under information symmetry.

The NDA would have easily allowed Amazon to give the impression that other cities are offering more than they actually are willing to offer. This could have driven up bidding even more than if it were in the open.

You also have to think about incentives here. Why would Amazon want an NDA if it wasn't for their benefit? Are they just trying to avoid bidding wars out of the goodness of their heard?
> underlying technology is super useful and will find its way into a lot of applications.

I can't think of any other use cases other than illegal black markets.
First thing I noticed was that text labels disappeared. Your proposal has a significant drawback right away, and I dislike it.

Paddy, Not Patty: A modest proposal to the people of the world

I agree but for that to work you would have to first ensure that everyone is reporting their income accurately. I believe that right now there is still a lot of grey zone and until that phase is sorted, the Tagessatz wouldn't work. That's why the temporary solution of banning people makes sense to me.
You're conflating: effort, productivity and net worth.

Net worth is a terrible measure of anything. You have a networth 100s times a person in a developing country but you're not "100x" anything.

Jeff Bezos can invest the rewards of his lifetime effort, yes, billions of times better than you can.

Elon musk invested his paypal-productivity into making space/car/etc. companies. His actions here eclipse yours.
Tariffs are paid by the consumers of imported goods, not by the importers themselves. Costs are simply passed down as higher prices. The idea that an importer would absorb the tariffs doesn’t hold water.
Thanks, looking forward to it. :)
>Maybe something like the lightning network or similar will be able to solve part

The article mentions they also take Dash which transacts pretty much instantly for less than 1c but still hasn't taken off apart from maybe a few outlets in Venezuela.
> It's not W^X. W^X implies read-only pages are not possible, and they are

What? That doesn't seem implied to me-- just means a page can't be w and x at the same time.
Occasionally a resume crosses my inbox from someone claiming to be "the idea guy". Sometimes it's that stark, "I'm an idea guy" or "People came to me for ideas." Sometimes you have to read between the lines and work out that they didn't actually /do/ anything. Sometimes you get entire product pitches (these are usually hilarious -- bonus points if the pitch is for a product utterly unrelated to your company's industry). Invariably these folks are ill-equipped to actually execute and build a product, their sole skill set appears to be to emit an Idea and then have some other poor schmuck implement it.

[Pop quiz: If an "idea" works out, guess who gets credit? If it fails, guess who gets blamed?]

There are few things worse than an Idea Guy yelling "Charge!" from the rear. I flush these resumes quickly.
Thanks for the feedback on GitLab’s design patterns. We’re working to update our design system, so feedback like this is helpful, and we’ll take it into consideration as we make updates. If you have additional feedback, please feel free to share it here or in a GitLab issue.
