Portland Police have stated that it is their policy to routinely reach out to both parties before such an event. You're receiving only half of a story.
It's actually an interesting question as to whether something different from GAAP should be used for tax. For companies based in one country it's a time honoured system that has worked for decades but for multinationals it's become in my opinion too easy for them to use loopholes and pay little or no tax.

Like with YC they are US based and if they sell their dropbox stake they'll be taxed but more tax avoiding companies might say have held the dropbox stake through a Cayman Islands trust or some such and try avoiding it. I'd vote for something like for multinationals they do accounts as if all their multinational bits were in one country and then allocate the earnings to different countries in proportion to the sales there. So if Microsoft had a lot of Windows sales in Germany say they'd pay tax on the profits there rather than saying they were all generated at a DVD stamping plant in Ireland for example.
I'm curious whether anyone is using Gatsby (front-end) and Strapi (headless CMS) for their personal blog?

I ask because it seems like a nice combo (basic CMS features, offline/PWS support etc.) but is missing some obvious things out of the box (e.g. things important for SEO, like slug-based routing, sitemap.xml).
Well the only way I would support it would be to purchase the code and make it open source :)

Unless they want to change, it's kind of meh. If it doesn't come from real incentives, we'll just end up in the same place from another direction again. If this is profitable for them to continue, it's going to continue.

I think so. Funding research is difficult as it is, and the potential to leverage that spending to create jobs and tax income is important. It certainly helps that it concerns an highly qualified academic workforce. Most universities tend to keep people employed just to expedite the process.

> JS Fatigue happens when people use tools they don't need to solve problems they don't have.

Many JavaScript developers are scared (by scared I am paralyzed in the face of death catatonic scared to the most possible irrational extreme) to write original code when often times original code takes less time and is a better fit to the immediate problem. This is called Invented Here Syndrome and is internally coddled when developers are appeased by writing configurations opposed to logic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invented_here

It is so bad that at my current employer somebody recommended I use a different editor to write code, because it had this kiss ass extension called Atom Beautify. They were pretty forceful in their recommendation. I am a collaborator on that project and wrote one of its beautifiers. People are scared to death to write software themselves or use any software from people they know, but so long as they don't I wrote any of it its great (to them).

> Even though the ECMA spec is becoming more and more solid these days, we still need Babel.

I have always believed this is one of those not real problems the paper talks about immediately prior. Writing cross browser JS is like writing CSS. Everybody bitches about it but once you've nailed it you got it with ease forever.

> My first advice for anyone suffering from JS Fatigue...

Learn the standards. Code to the standards first. Then optimize your workflow to become more efficient. This is the very essence solving for premature optimization.
Oh believe me, I totally get the feeling - muscle memory can backfire like that. Especially if neither old nor new interface is perfectly intuitive, and also just similar enough to be confusing where they differ.

I can't stress enough how good Robert Hutton's tutorial videos are though! They often contain little nuggets of behavior that I missed when first learning a new tool. For example, until I watched his videos I didn't know double-clicking on any curve resets it. Knowing those kind of little things adds up over time.

Would you be willing to share the way you've configured the GPG setup?

Definitely curious for making it work like this. The last time I looked at it, I could make it require touch/PIN the first time the GPG key was used, but after it got loaded into gpg-agent, it continued to work for the lifetime of the agent w/o PIN/touch. That said, I'm entirely willing to admit the possibility I missed the right flags to do what I wanted.

I do like n =/= 1 in general (I've provisioned some yubikeys where the person using the key doesn't have the admin PIN, and so I like to give myself a bit more buffer before I have to meet up with them to unlock the key, but for my own keys, n == 3 would be totally fine.
The pharmaceutical company Vertex sells the drug for $300k. Because CF Foundation helped fund the development, they get royalties, just like universities sometimes do when they help develop a drug.

This is great for CF because it’s mostly the insurance companies (and therefore healthy people) who are bearing the costs of the treatment.

So the CF Foundation is “forcing donatations” from the healthy populace through increased insurance premiums to bankroll their continued investments in treatments and such.

I don’t know if that makes it any more or less ethical, but certainly if it were mostly individual CF patients on the hook for the $300k (in aggregate that is — I’m not saying that never happens) then it would make less sense for the CF Foundation as a strategy.
Yes, I think Pivotal are not looking for Knuth. Most companies don't need Knuth to be successful. That said, individual brilliance is not at odds with the other skills Pivotal are looking for.

My method was to close my eyes then open them somewhere "random" on my screen and the first letter my eyes focused on, I checked whether it was a low (left) or high (right) letter. I'm aware that the distribution isn't this simple but that's what I used. This worked okay for a while and the machine was only predicting me at 43%, then I tried using just my brain and it started winning.

Mental illness doesn't cause violence.

The examples you're missing are the mass murders of Jewish people in a synagogue, or people in a church, or people at a concert, or the shooting of a gun into a crowd of protestors, or the driving of a car into a crowd of protestors, or the disproportionate amounts of domestic violence perpetrated by people on the right.

Somehow none of these seem to count because reasons, but the right are fundamentally dishonest when they discount this violence.

You don't say how much you already know about software. I'll assume you know little or nothing. Advice for an already proficient programmer would be different.

Your bio background will definitely count for something at biotech companies, and they hire plenty of software developers. But you need to add some sort of credible training or experience in software. I know there are community colleges offering two-year programs; that would probably be enough. Then go looking for an entry-level software development position at some bio-focused tech company. Someone who knows both bio and software will be a very attractive candidate.
"Let me make another point. The US isn't a person; it doesn't have willpower, feelings, or emotions"

You made a similar point in your reply to me, but you've made it better here, so I'll reply here.

The US is a human construct, just like any other nation. And part of 'The US' is its people, its citizens. You can't divorce the country from the people that make it.

It does have willpower, it does have feelings, it does have emotions. As an example take a look at the countries reaction to 9/11. There was a reaction, which seems to disprove your theory, I would go further and say it was quite a human reaction.
Even the most optimized JavaScript code will be less performant than a fully declarative language that can be directly interpreted by the layout engine.

From a user standpoint, it's ridiculous that I need to have JavaScript enabled, so the browser can download and compile a separate runtime, that itself reparses the page, just so I can look at a static documents with some math symbols.

Lastly, I think a common standard for math representation is valuable for the same reasons "official" <section> and <article> elements are valuable: They offer a common data model that tools, extensions and search engines can work on to provide extra functionality. A "de-facto standard" like MathJax doesn't provide this, because there is no requirement that two different sites use the same representation. The only requirement is that they put up something which the particular version of MathJax they embedded can understand. This makes things a lot harder for tools.
> Funds which they will use to drive massive amounts of additional R&D to make even better treatments at lower costs.

This is a _myth_

Big Pharma is an insanely inefficient structure for turning money into useful R&D results.

Big Pharma often spends on the order of 25-30% on marketing, vs 15% on R&D. From societal standpoint this is horribly inefficient considering that most medical costs are paid for communal money via taxes and/or insurance programs.

R&D should be paid by government funds. Testing should be transparent and open. Production should be done by private companies. This would be a significantly more efficient use of our money. It would also align R&D expenditures much better with actual costs to society for medical issues.
>Working from home on occasion certainly isn't unusual.

Occassion and modus operandi are two entirely different precepts but you know this, yeah, and your trying ever-so hard to be pedantic. It's cute.

>Paid sick days is something your insurance may or may not cover.

I thought it was the employer who paid the sick days in the states. What you're talking about falls under the FMLA, I believe; which is an entire different set of principles - independent of the actual employer, yeah? Then you reinforce the point that it's not an overall societal protection with the statement, "States laws also may protect workers from getting fired during longer illness."

>Nothing, just rubbing it in.

You've brought nothing of attainable consequence to the conversation, much less any evidence of your assertion. How can you rub in that which you assume to be true but have no evidence for or against? The arrogance is astounding, to say the least.

>If you're successful in Finland (or some other little Euro country), you're going to be far less wealthy than in the US.

I'm assuming you're speaking of purely fiscal wealth, which is a pretty myopic perspective to have. You've provided no evidence of this claim. Are you sure we, the europoor, are actually poor or is this just something you're reverberating from the echo chambers of American exceptionalism.

>You'll be paying for everyone else to live.

Do you not do this with the current Social Security system? The irony is palpable...

>If that makes you happy, go for it.

Already doing it, so this is pretty pedestrian.

>Pat yourself on the back.

Is this not what you're trying to do with your own argument around more pay and less taxes? Pot meet kettle. The banality of this tangible irony is already starting to bore me.

Do you have anything of consequence to proffer or is it going to continually be this mundane level of effort, deriving from your bravado? If the latter of the two, then, you're bringing a knife to a gun show and it wouldn't be fair to keep being you with your own phantom limbs, so I'm dipping out. Have fun!
Ok. The guy writes about js fatigue. He appears to be chai.js maintainer. Ok, let's check it out. Oh, this is a library that lets you use three different styles to say the same thing

chai.should();
foo.should.be.a('string');

var expect = chai.expect;
expect(foo).to.be.a('string');

var assert = chai.assert;
assert.typeOf(foo, 'string');

Seriously? If this is not a major reason of js fatigue I don't know what is.

> It's nice to say you have to avoid reacting to things outside of your control. But how does one do that ?

The first step is to learn to distinguish between the things that are in your control and those that outside of your control. The second step is to consciously remind yourself that things outside your control are by their nature indifferent - neither good nor bad - and to act accordingly.

Both of these things require constant practice to develop skill. One specific exercise that can help is the "Premeditatio Malorum". Another is to keep a journal of one's successes and failures and to review it daily.

There are other useful resources online with practical advice. One good example is Donald Robertson's Stoic Therapy Toolkit: https://learn.donaldrobertson.name/p/stoic-therapy-toolkit

In physics we are learning about sound waves, and how noise cancelling headphones detect noise and produce waves which are destructive to those incoming sound waves, by matching the amplitude and sending them out at a different time interval. I think future noise cancelling materials will make use of some kind of tech like this.

I don't think materials that simply absorb sound are very efficient.

XAP CREDIT SOLUTION fixed my credit
I have been battling with issues of low credit, I had credit scores of 505 (transunion) 500 (Equifax) in January. I applied for a loan and was not approved because of my low FICO scores. I contacted my loan officer and she let me know I needed a score of 720-780 to get qualified and I was in desperate need to get my score up because I had to do the surgery at that time. I had seen some wonderful recommendations of these hackers called XAP CREDIT SOLUTION on some random websites and decided to give them a shot. In summary, they fixed my FICO scores to 780+ in 10 days across all 3 credit bureaus and I was approved within a week. I still have my scores at 782 because it is a permanent hack. I am so happy I found the hacker and will recommend ONLY them to anyone in need of such services. Please contact them via XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM or Text 972 597 9704.
The point of this grant is not to help software.

The point is to help a service gain market shares and displace at least a little Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook, and limit the inpact of having only US companies in that field.

Email is a bit overlooked, but it's huge source of information, easy to obtain (with the appropriate laws), and quite good in term of quality. It renders email strategic.

With a grant to an oss project, it's not achieving directly this goal. And the bettering of the oss ecosystem is not likely to help an alternative service hugely.

Lastly, a mail server is probably one of the most annoying common piece of infrastructure to deploy. To the point that even people knowing how don't even bother.
My thought exactly. The problem with low frequencies is the large wavelength. The size of the damper needs to be roughly proportional to the frequency for reasons I don't remember.

If I had to guess I'd say that standing waves don't leave the
chamber.

It will also capture only a limited volume.

> The mathematically designed, 3D-printed acoustic metamaterial is shaped in such a way that it sends incoming sounds back to where they came from, Ghaffarivardavagh and Zhang say.

That's certainly not what a sound engineer wants. The usecases are a little different, containing noise in an MRI machine (which has low freq rumbles) or away from ground for a drone. The word droning sound is probably not a chance homophone.

They can scale the structure as needed, so potentially for low frequs, and fit many next to each other to form a wall.

The helical structure in the ring is like a long winded pipe I guess? It's literally analogue to an electronic low pass filter from an inductor in series between source and ground, without a recipient. What a sound studio needs instead is a capacitor to ground in parallel to the recipient.
