I think "gnarly" would be an exaggeration, but it all adds up to being just complicated enough to be a bit of a pain. I have:

I have:

* A job with a W-2

* 2x brokerage accounts with 1099-INT + 1099-DIVs

* An HSA with a 1099-SA / 5489-SA forms

* A housing coop with a 1098 mortgage interest form, and property taxes to deduct

* A mortgage with a 1098 mortgage interest form

Some pain points:

* TurboTax wants to know if I paid Alternative Minimum Tax in the past, but doesn't seem to check its own records (I have only ever used TurboTax), or give me an easy way to check that (i.e., go look at line / box #xx on your previous 1040s). My memory is that I did end up doing AMT one year, and I think that somehow influences future years?

* I ended up doing estimated tax payments one year (TurboTax gave me the forms and details for this), but then the next year I didn't understand that I needed to deduct those payments (or rather, I had imagined TurboTax would know / ask me about that, but it didn't in any clear fashion). I got a letter from the IRS about the discrepancy, I had to send them the estimated tax payment data, they sent me an adjusted form, it was all fine in the end but it took some extra time + hassle to work through.

* The brokerage accounts lead to capitals gains and losses which can need carrying over across years, and the dividend income seems to be enough to cause the estimated taxes in some years but not others.

* TurboTax is just way more annoying than it needs to be with its upselling, animations, sometimes vaugely worded questions, and apparent reluctance to use last year's records.

* Overall, my assets / income aren't massive or anything, but it wouldn't suprise me if someone being paid $500 / year or thereabouts could pay for themselves in saved time + mistakes or optimization suggestions.

> 16:9 for a work machine is a bad choice, and the resolution is horrible.

I found a way to turn 16:9 into an advantage: if you go for 70-character columns, you can get a 3-column display in a tiling WM or Emacs if your resolution is 1280 or more pixels horizontally (there are 5-pixel wide fonts out there, but none of them are very legible).
It seems like Elon lacks the ability to control his behavior when he can tweet based on a momentary impulse. Elon has many bright ideas but not every notion of his is appropriate for public consumption. He ought to hand over the credentials to a PR or even a law firm so he can send all his tweets through them. And ask them to change the password.
That is interesting. I had read that 500 was ineffective but did not know that 10000 was effective. If you've done the research what is the most reliable source you found
?
The parent comment says "Can a corporation demand an employee ..." so that's exactly what we're talking about. The company, not the government.
Oh, huh, I didn't know XML uses the same comments as HTML.

4 is valid, though: XML requires special directives to preserve whitespace. JSX requires different syntax with {`...`}, but it's a similar idea.
It is an assumption of ignorance on a massive and universal scale that is beyond reasonable. There is too many people involved to assume this was not considered. It's the same problem as assuming the moon landing was faked. The position that noone involved considered birthright centizenship beyond slavery is ludicrous. All those state legislatures, all those senators, all those house representatives, all their staffs plus the best legal minds available to the office of the president and your claim is not a single one of them realized birthright citizenship would apply to people who weren't former slaves? That is a ludicrous amount of doubt in human imagination.

EDIT: In fact in 1860, the us census measured 4.1 million people not born in the United States. Is your claim honestly that while the census actively measured this, not a single person realized what birthright citizenship would mean for the children of those 4.1 million non-natives?
No – Musk got a slap on the wrist ($20MM) compared to the market movement he caused, and none of that money goes to investors. The tweet moved Tesla's stock by $30/share, or temporarily added over 4 billion dollars to its market cap.

It wouldn't really be possible to determine exactly who was damaged by his tweets, so no direct restitution is possible.

> when reference.srt and unsynchronized.srt are in different languages

I just want to thank you for including this use-case, because it's exactly the thing I'm regularly running into. Subs in one language are bundled with the vid, all subs from OpenSubtitles are desynchronized.
They have these at the station I use along my commute. I also find it quite annoying.

Pro tip I came across online a bit back: pressing one of the buttons on the right will mute the screen. In my experience the button one down from the top on the right works.
>Sound masking would be more ideal for concentration, but I'm sure the regular Starbucks patrons would be a bit confused at constant "hoooshhhh" sounds of a noise generator.

Sound masking is very dubious with respect to the ADA - you're deliberately making it harder to understand speech, which has obvious implications for hearing-impaired guests or employees.
we have a lot of projects, and i use OUs to track the N-ary tree of lab->project->people and their spends.

since the aws billing subsystem can't map OU->$$$, i wrote a thing: https://github.com/ucbrise/aws-audit

it'd be also super awesome to have OU-based budgets.

we use teevity ice when we really need to dig deep (https://github.com/Teevity/ice) but it's pretty much abandonware at this point.

i've also explored a couple of commercial offerings (ronin & teevity) but they don't work well in our AWS research credit-based model.
> Even chimpanzees would probably understand and disagree with you

I think it's important to stress the practical side of the argument too, rather than just appealing to intuitions of fairness.

Bill Gates probably believes (and is probably correct) that for any sum of money he is willing to part with, he could do more good by directing it toward carefully selected philanthropic causes than by donating it to the government. So when acting alone, there's no reason for him to unilaterally pay extra tax, unless he believes it will have very good indirect effects and/or is just seeking a PR boost.

He also believes that if people in his class (including him) paid much more in taxes than they currently do, the world would be a better place than it is now.

These two beliefs are entirely consistent, for at least two reasons:

* For a lot of people in his class, the likely alternatives are not philanthropy vs. taxes, but non-altruistic spending vs. taxes.

* There are, at least arguably, some things that government is better suited to doing than private charities are. Perhaps these tend to be the kind of large-scale projects that could be funded by higher taxes on all super-rich people, rather than anything that would result from a donation to the government by a single billionaire.

Even if your opinion of government is very low and you disagree with the second point, the first should be enough to show that his position is perfectly consistent, and would be even for someone unrealistically altruistic and willing to be on the wrong end of an unfair situation.
He's a human being who also happens to be the head of a public corporation. We can't expect every single action he takes at every point to be filtered into legalese.

IMO, if he had said this in an earnings call, or presented it in a way that made it seem "official", then I could get the problem, but it's twitter.

Nope. The difference is that you had far more people living in the same dwelling units. The population of Manhattan peaked around 1910, at 2.3M, it is 1.6M today.
There’s a reason lawyers vet public statements by corporate officers.

It shows compatibility, which you doubted in the previous post ("no, not really"). Doesn't matter how simple you deem the program.

Making him responsible for mistakes.
According to the company his twitter feed is an official source of information about the company.
The legal point isn't if what he tweeted was "that bad" or not. It's that after he got caught the last time, in the settlement to end the case he agreed to have Tesla legal review all such tweets in the future to make sure he doesn't do it again. He broke that agreement.
I flew on the same international airline for business dozens of times and they always had the same tune on for the first hour during boarding/etc and then again during landing. I've now developed a bad Pavlovian response to that track because it is associated with brutal long-haul travel, jetlag, dry air, customs hassles, etc.

Note: I then got Gold/Platinum ranking, started boarding sooner, and so got exposed to the music even more!

Note 2: International flights have much longer boarding periods and usually large plans, so the time intro music is played is long.
Inflammatory comments with no supporting evidence are usually downvoted, irrespective of the opinion they espouse.
The transition away from the gold standard and years of living in a post-gold-standard world show that fiat is a totally reasonable system of money. I'd love to see you support or justify your claims, so we can at least debate from a basis of shared understanding and fact instead of hyperbole. Your statement is completely unrelated to the topic at hand.
We don't even hold our president liable for what he says on twitter.
Even though I don't know what a Tensor is, I had a suspicion that TensorFlow was really just "MatrixFlow". I felt validated after reading myth 1, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around the difference between Tensors & Matrices. I have a feeling that I missing out on something beautiful, like Fourier Transforms, and when I finally get it a deep smile will spread across my face.
Meaning his mistakes move markets. Nobody has to be on Twitter. If you are and you're on the c-suite of a publicly traded company, you need communication discipline
There's a list of things that should be right there on the project homepage:

- What is this project?

- Who is the intended audience?

- Why would I use it?

- How does it compare to other projects?

- Where should I go for help/support, i.e. where is the mailing list/forums/etc.

- How can I get up and running with the minimum of effort?
I think the better question to ask is, what kind of memory? Research I cannot conveniently find at the moment shows that raw declarative memory is improved under trauma. For example, most people who were old enough, nationwide, can recall where they were and what they were doing on 9/11. Other kinds of memory, like skill automating (e.g. playing the chords effortlessly on a guitar or mastering the core grammar of a language) are much harder to do when you're under stress.
> IMO, if he had said this in an earnings call, or presented it in a way that made it seem "official", then I could get the problem, but it's twitter.

TSLA stated five years ago that Musk's twitter is an official source of information regarding the company.
So is the idea basically that you can recover any missing n% of a dataset by using an extra n% of disk space to store specially calculated data, rather than 100% extra disk space (because you don't know which pieces are going to go missing)?
Those "Mc" vs "Mac" surnames are tough.
"Wrong" isn't an argument.
Yes, BUT:

Grey-haired Linux folks who've hammered on complex, changing, sometimes esoteric systems in different companies with unique challenges COMBINED with having to have learned a programming language, to view these people as obsolete is an ultimate folly of youth here in IT.

To suggest that it's all different now, your Shell/Perl/Webserver/database/caching/networking experience somehow has nothing on Python/Terraform/AWS/Docker really shows inexperience of hiring managers.

I learned both, and I can tell you AWS+someyaml+Python are MUCH easier than any of the stuff I listed above. Yet, there's a new generation of hiring managers that believes otherwise.

Today at work I had to explain absolutely basic DNS to someone. I dunno, call me skeptical about this new paradigm business. The paradigms look awfully familiar.
I believe the exact opposite.

Most of the time I'll want to use the phone in the folded mode and there you have the choice between a stunning full screen and an embarassing, added display.

The Samsung doesn't fold flat. That makes it bulky and leads to a very problematic force distribution (2 lines). The flat folding Huawei distributes the force over the whole phone. There are already phones with OLEDs and they seem to work fine (they do have glass surfaces to distribute point loads, however).
Additionally it just looks great.

I'm not sure about the scratches. You could make the surface so soft it doesn't get scratched at all, but it probably wouldn't feel good. I do like matte screens that don't show scratches, but that'd slightly impair display clarity.
You can’t lie about your company as a ceo. That’s securities fraud.
Tesla registered his Twitter account as an official channel for such information. That brings with it expectations and obligations, since investors etc now have to read it to be fully informed, and has similar relevance to e.g. official Tesla press releases.

He specifically agreed to have Tesla legal review all such tweets to make sure he doesn't tweet bad information again, and promptly went and ignored that.
Why do people love to link to this awful PDF-rendering web page instead of the PDFs themselves?

What is this submission attempting to express? The main thing I noticed is that the webpage hasn't been updated since 2009 and the WebDAV working group appears to have abandoned it for unspecified reasons. I frequently use WebDAV via a very popular iOS app and never had any issues with it, so I'd be interested to know why it has been abandoned.
Not misinformation, guidance was 350 - 500. This is a technicality of not getting approval for a tweet that could be interpreted as saying they are definitely hitting 500k 8 months from now. This is stupid.

Clearly this is a fluff piece of journalism. He said - she said. "5 sigma". Sounds great. What does it mean? 2 out of 3 satellites reported data that gave the 5 sigma conclusion by 2005, the third by 2016. Great. What does it mean? It doesn't really say, other than a 95 percent chance that global warming since 1950 is caused by humans. Somebody said they would like to notch that up to 99% chance. Another person wouldn't go so far. I think it's totally fair to criticise this virtually content free article.

I don't think it's fair to so glibly criticise the science. This article isn't the science. I think we, as members of a community that is generally educated to a higher level than other communities should be calling out this nonsense that gets printed because it gives real ammunition to people (among whom it is possible you are a member) who deride climate science on the basis of bad journalism. It's a massive shame because it's an issue with potentially dire consequences.
Can someone post a non wsj link?
> only works with constant drift

I hoped that this solution would sync parts that have really different offsets between the audio and the subs, including changes from negative to positive offsets. Because that's the cases where automatic fixes in e.g. Aegisub don't suffice.

This happens when the vid and the subs are from different releases which apparently were edited for some reason―regional releases or something. Like, after some point the subs are suddenly off by a minute.

Last year Elon made a series of deliberately false statements made with the sole purpose of artificially inflating the stock price of his crime. CEOs have gone to jail for years over misrepresentations less outrageous than Elons'. He was able to avoid prison time and hundreds of millions in fines by agreeing to a slap-on-the-wrist settlement with the SEC that required a small fine and, crucially, that his tweets be reviewed by someone else at the company before they were posted. So that no more material mispresentations would spew forth...like the one the SEC is now saying violates the settlement agreement.

If he wanted to keep tweet vomitting, he could have decided not to settle with the SEC last year and taken his chances.
With Gun it is also possible to create a specialized process structure albeit with more heavyweight processes behind each connection. Mint provides lightweight (possibly more efficient?) abstraction to achieve similar results. Thanks Eric and Andrea!
I work at a GPU-powered in-memory DB startup. So well...fast GPUs and memory are pretty important :-) So in that light, the System76 is a lifesaver.

It is nicer than a desktop as many of us take the laptop home. Also, for light lounge usage and workshops/presentations, we usually turn off the GPU for longer life.

Guidance for this year was 350k - 500k. Elon said several times on the call that he thought they could beat the 500k. This is a technicality on not getting approval for a tweet that could unreasonably be interpreted as saying they are definitely hitting 500k 8 months from now. This is stupid.

Haha. Great to hear that work still lives! I hope you’re not using the (horrible in retrospect) stuff I wrote 15 years ago that worked on 2.0-2.6 kernels. I remember porting the network kernel driver from 2.0-2.2 manual build system to implementing a (really basic) Makefile that worked with 2.0-2.6.0ish kernels (which were newer at the time). I knew Scott Burleigh was still innovating CCSDS and other protocols at JPL, and, IIRC the work I had done had also been delivered to Ames and ESA for test lab use. I had some other work to create protocol dissectors for Ethereal (before the name change to WireShark). WireShark now includes built in dissectors for CCSDS, CFDP and others.
Pretty sure that "gay conversion camps" are still a thing in the USA.

Like Gmail's "undo send" feature? All it does is wait tens seconds to send your message but many people find this to be just enough to back out of dumb statements from time to time.

IMO, if he had said this in an earnings call, or presented it in a way that made it seem "official", then I could get the problem, but it's twitter.

As pointed out many times on this thread, Elon had Tesla designate his personal twitter account as an official source of material company information. Ergo, anything he posts to twitter is potentially subject to SEC reporting requirements.

If he didn't want that responsibility tied to his private account, he should have had Tesla create him a Tesla_CEO twitter handle that he could post from instead.
Of course CBC would report this, they're in Big Tim Horton's pockets
Yeah, it'll definitely depend on your personal situation. When I itemized last year I think I only need to grab 3 documents (W-2 which of course I already had, 1098 with my mortgage interest + property tax, and a charity receipt). If you're itemizing for medical bills or if you donate to many different charities I can see how the paperwork adds up.

Maybe you already know this, but the "prefilled form form the IRS" is similar to how a lot of countries do their taxes. From what I've heard the US uses tax writeoffs to influence people's behavior more than other countries do, so I wonder if that approach would lead to fewer people taking certain deductions.

You can read his comments in a cryptocurrency thread from last week for his specific positions. I did, don't even bother attempting to argue, you aren't going to change his mind.
Just wait until they start adding cameras that detect whether you're actually looking at the commercial or not, and pause the commercial when you're not paying attention.

I'd link to the relevant Black Mirror episode, but I'm sure we've all seen it.
I worked at a Macy's in college one holiday season, right across the aisle from the dancing santas that alternated their tinny versions of "rockin around the christmas tree" and "jingle bell rock". The tinny sounds on top of the general background muzak was extra-insanity-inducing. One day after being at work for 10 hours I got in my car and jingle bell rock came on and I totally broke down crying.

I've a lot of sympathy for retail people since then.
Sure although I found these and none of this is digestible in a meaningful way. The best figure on the second link is a graph on disposable income, which says nothing about the claims of spending reduction. Similarly, the first page, which I also found, has "numbers" on it but nothing to give context to relative spending, as in, to prior years.

The closest thing to what I am looking for is apparently here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_spending_in_the_Uni.... To find it, you have to search for UK budget without mention of "austerity".

I assume this gets to the heart of why anyone would 'downvote' me here for asking for simple information, there's a strict anti-intellectual force on HN that has a problem with anyone digging in to what "austerity" actually means. When you search for anything specifically related to "austerity" in the UK, unsurprisingly, you're met with articles containing photographs, but no real numbers to give you an idea of what "austerity" means in terms of relative changes to the government's budget.

What would be REALLY nice is a chart like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget#/... (but for the UK, and with more years to compare, or remove the comparison aspect and just give me raw numbers, year by year). Presumably, I could find this on some UK government website in PDF form, but why didn't NYT do this instead of some puff piece about a kewl, hip young socialist.
Except the followup inflammatory comments, of course.
