JVM can be used for Desktop, server and in the past applets , it would be impossible to find a configuration that is optimal for all applications, so competent developers would tweak the defaults or use different deployment methods like AOT compilation or bundle your own JVM , is your problem that JVM is used in so many different places that different algorithms, runtimes and optimization were created for it ? Your examples of Go and Rust are of languages that are so far not been used in such diverse places, there are no good alternative compilers but something like Python has such a diversity of runtimes.
> Names are often not unique but phone numbers are.

Right out of "Myths programmers believe about phone numbers" which was on the HN front page a week back. Has everyone forgotten about landlines? Even cell numbers are not permanently assigned to a single person: especially in jurisdictions where pay-as-you-go accounts are the majority.
Here's the other point of view: we have only 1 child. It makes much more sense to give her some of our assets while she's young and needs it most than wait until we're both dead and she'll be 60.

She'll most likely chose a profession that won't allow her to purchase a home in the Bay Area all by herself, so if she has a preference to continue living in this area, helping her out will make that possible. And we'll have our grandchildren (if any) nearby.
Running it in a VM under a Linux host is exactly how a lot of involved people have it, the reason being that that setup was more accessible, more stress-tested, and thus got more stable compared to a real-hardware setup. The goal however is to develop it to be compatible with current Windows NT drivers, which in some cases still happens to have received more love from their vendors compared to their Linux versions.

Easiest strategy is to just assume the options are worthless and base your comp assessment on that. Doing otherwise sets people up to get burned badly. Furthermore the risk reward for all but the founders is typically significantly lopsided.

If you can accept the risk great, but again assume you’ll never see a penny from options or far far less than you might think (as the calculator highlights nicely).

If things go well you’ll get a nice bonus. Not life changing for the vast majority of people, but a nice financial surprise.

The mistake most people make is accepting far too little cash comp on the grounds that their options may be worth something some day. When they turn out not to be they get burned twice. First on not getting that money period, and second on not having higher cash comp all along which means they also missed out on compound savings or investment with that money.

Net net see options for what they are in most companies—-a way to “pay” people when the company can’t really afford to pay people.
Didn't have time to watch all of it. But did they mention how much does it cost in Japan?

I really like the idea they could help you buy Appliance through them along with delivery and installation. Assuming you are not picky with Appliances ( Japanese Home Appliance are one of the best in the world. ) and they have a wide selection, if saves you tons of hassle. Not only that they help you throw away your old stuff, knowing the Japanese, those will likely get recycles or properly disposed instead of being dumped somewhere.
Of course the mother doesn't HAVE to take time off - just do a planned c section on a Saturday and she can be back to work on Monday.

But it'd be a bad idea, of course. Copy Sweden instead, that'd be a lot better. 480 paid days off (390 of those at ~75% of normal pay, the rest at a low rate). Of those 480 days, each parent has half but all but 90 days per parent can be transferred to the other parent.

Also you have a legal right to work 75% until your kid is seven if you want to.
In the USA*

That's not completely surprising when the entire system allowed a millionaire who thinks that socialism is full blown communism [0] to become president.
I don't see that happening as much in countries with free health care, (good) free education, proper retirement systems.

The weird paradox of working full time in one of the most powerful country in the world and still not being able to live decently without outside help.

Survive to work, work to survive, and if you ever want to have kids or a decent house get a 60 years loan or move to buttfuck nowhere Kansas.

"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires." becomes truer by the minute.
I barely understand why all these people are not protesting for years, so many americans are barely making it but somehow the whole system manage to convince them that it's their personal problem, what a sad state of affairs.

> How can they eat the federal government's revenue by destroying income if it can't be deducted?

Because you can't collect taxes on income that doesn't exist, obviously.

> Are you saying that the economic equilibrium of a higher income tax will be lower pre-tax incomes? That's certainly an interesting theory, though it doesn't comport with any of the empirical data.

Yes, of course that's what I'm saying. This is the same idea as how taxing oil sales will necessarily lower the dollar volume of oil sales. What model are you aware of that doesn't directly imply this?
We found out that a business we asked to call us shows up with no caller id, it was because of Google services. Plus in many cellular networks its not common for the caller id information to be passed.

While I would like more tools on phones by various providers this problem as a whole needs to be solved by those routing the calls. How that works I don't know, I always thought ANI was the end all solution but IP calling circumvents that?
> If your intent of to artificially promote low tax and spending at the state level, yes, if you want the federal government to be neutral on state policy the correct way is full deductibility.

This seems like a very odd definition of 'artificial'. The federal government says "we want 30% of your income". Why exactly should the state be able to pre-empt that?

> More accurately, under the old system states could tax as necessary to support the spending policy which create the environment in which people in the state are able to earn income without the federal government artificially disincentivizes policy that produces better net results if it happens to require higher taxes. (And, because it didn't even abandon deductibility but limited it to a fixed dollar amount per taxpayer, artificially discourages policy not just by the level of taxation, but the distribution, on top of artificially punishing states for a high local cost of living, where if they tax the same share of the same real—based on local costs—income as a lower CoL state will see more money taken by the feds.)

You keep using this word 'artificial', but I don't see much justification for it. I also don't see much evidence for "better net results", nor do I think that's even relevant here. If the states want to levy taxes, they should. But I see no serious argument put forward here for why those taxes should come at the expense of federal taxes.
What you are describing is quite orthogonal to brands: it is simply fraud, ie selling something with specs that you know are bogus. I've seen it called "false advertising" too.

That is exactly what a brand is supposed to protect you against: if a reputable brand is caught doing this, it won't take long for its reputation to go down the drain.

You won't see many reputable brands engage in this, and that also explains why they rightfully complain when someone else uses their brand to push their bogus products, as their reputation can take a hit due to a malicious player.

Intellectual Property protection around brands (brand names, logos, etc...) is serious business.

It’s interesting how important the House was in those days and how supine the Senate — similar to the houses of commons and lords on which it was partially modeled.

Nowadays the house seems like a noisy but marginal chamber with all the practical congressional power residing in the Senate.

We've been using Elm in production for https://halogen.tv and has been a great experience overall.

The codebase is around 60k LOC for the front-end and we've settled on a few patterns that help with reusability and managing complexity.

- We have moved to a very flat architecture where most things are at the top level of the state tree

- We use web components to wrap up things that are a pain in Elm (like exit animations, fancy text editors, interop with various JS libraries)

- Our reusable components take Configs so that the components are not tied to one Msg type, different pages have to provide hookups for those messages but it allows us to reuse components on different pages pretty easily.

Refactoring with confidence is possible! I have worked on large React/Angular apps where it was nigh impossible to refactor something without breaking a bunch of others things (often without a way to know they are broken aside from a full regression test). Typescript has improved things quite a bit, but it can't give you the same guarantees as Elm can.

As for difficulties we've run into:

- The virtual dom diffing slows down as the number of nodes grows, for our live chat we can have thousands of people chatting at once and diffing between the previous/next set of nodes can easily exceed the time we have for the next frame. We've taken to reducing the scrollback available in chat, virtualizing the list is another option.

- The time-travelling debugger is cool to show off but has some limitations that make it less useful in practice. If the Msg is long it gets cut off and there's no way to see the whole thing. There's no way to exclude or filter messages, if you have timer running the message list quickly fills up and it is difficult to find the Msg you want.

- When we were on 0.18 compile times were a large source of frustration, we ended up using a forked version of the compiler to improve things a bit, I wrote about it here https://medium.com/@antewcode/faster-elm-builds-e0669580ee67.

- There is little published information on what is coming down the pipeline, timelines for bug fixes, features, etc

This final one hasn't been a big problem in practice, but the prohibition on effect managers and native code in the community leads to teams all over the place reimplementing the same thing (e.g. interfacing with LocalStorage). It has never been possible to publish code using ports or native code to Elm's package manager, which I think is a good thing, but 0.19 also removed the ability to compile them locally without forking the compiler. I think I am in a very small minority in the community that thinks that effect managers are not evil and can be used for good.

I just realized since moving to Vietnam and getting a Vietnam number, no more robocalls. Zero. Nilch. Maybe everyone in the U.S. should buy a sim card from a poor international country for a few months time.

I'm a long time user of "Should I Answer" Android app which is a godsend. It works by allowing people to categorize numbers that called them, so next time number X tries to cold call you or scam you, you get overlay with sign that's probably a nefarious or at least spammy number.

All the links you mention may have something in common.

There seems to be bacteria in the gut and diabetes link or inflammation and diabetes link. Gum disease is known to have effects trough letting bacteria and byproducts into the blood. Antiviral medication (HIV and herpes medication) may fight Alzheimer for the same reasons (they kill viruses and reduce inflammation indirectly).

Infections (bacterial, viral or prion) and/or inflammation they cause may be the common link.

It could be that anything that increases inflammation has link to Alzheimer's.

Exercise, sleep, stress reduction and good nutrition may be linked to infections or inflammation as well. Link may be trough improving immune system to fight infections and/or reducing inflammation.
It's tiring how much the media and casual discourse treats "millennials" as one gigantic person, but then again generational cohorts are a planning tool because large numbers of them engage in similar activities around the same time. This greatly impacts markets, culture, and circles back around to influence lots of other aspects of life. It also leads to more pressure and (generally) fewer opportunities on those who have fallen behind.

As much as we deride or wish to discourage people from comparing themselves to others, falling behind (in terms of timing or attainment) compared to the median member of a cohort confers a disadvantage towards further progress that would follow the same formula. This is particularly and literally applicable to millennials: after all, the entire generation was told to follow a formula, where getting to college was the first step, and any further clarification of one's ambitions would be expected to materialize once that baseline was cleared.

Now that they're all firmly of working age, it's clear that following that formula blindly -- as if it were just one of those "this is how the world works" societal norms that everyone does, like brushing teeth or obeying stoplights -- was a mistake. But the message was fed by their elders, the same people who are now helping them out if they're able.

And if one had poor parents or hardly a shot at getting to college, what were they supposed to do? They came of age at a time when blue-collar work was precipitously falling, all the well-paying high-demand careers demanded years of education, and years of coddling and lack of substantive discourse about the middle class's economic realities have resulted in a generic, aspirational message like "follow your dreams". Higher education was positioned by public policy and combined wisdom as a tool of opportunity, how was one to know that predatory-sounding trade schools may have been a better bet? And if public policy drove young people towards those schools instead, would we now have tens of thousands of HVAC technicians and automotive mechanics and cybersecurity professionals working in food and retail?
Cost is one issue. Another is that these tools are designed mainly for triaging conversation volume and aren't really designed for PMs, salesfolks, or engineers to extract what they need from historical conversations.

Companies that want to get every team engaged with customer feedback can:
(1) Invest in their own data extraction and pipeline to push conversational info into cross-team dashboard.
(2) Perform or outsource a bunch of research and report on "voice-of-customer" to the rest of the org.
(3) Use active feedback reporting tools like ProductBoard or NomNom to organize (one kind of) customer feedback.
(4) Try passive conversation analysis from new tools like frame.ai (that's me!) or scopeAI

> Even if the tax is progressive and not related to consumption, why should the federal government foot the bill?

The federal government is no more footing the bill through deductibility than it is footing the cost of capital acquisition by taxing net gains rather than gross revenue of capital sales; it just isn't taxing the investments state taxpayers make in common facilities which enable their earnings.
Mm which is actually the only reason for the SALT deduction, which still exists. It just now had a nonsensical limit that has no basis besides punishing political revenues and promoting low tax policy regardless of efficiency.
>doesn’t seem to get anything unless the exit is > $35M.

It's because their model assumes "$41 million" was invested into the hypothetical seed company over 4 rounds. Therefore, the company has to exit for more than $41m for the employees' common stock to be worth something.

You have to click on the "How We Guesstimate" button to see their underlying financial assumptions.

In my opinion, this type of "what if?" calculator would be easier to understand if they explicitly showed the intermediate calculation steps in the user interface. A more obvious "show your work" would educate people and preemptively answer questions such as yours about why a $5 million exit nets $0 for employees.

I have a really tough time comprehending why it is such a difficult problem to solve. The FCC could have solved it by now, independently of congressional legislation, considering the fact that they regulate the issuance of phone numbers. Those overseas companies still have to get their US phone numbers from an FCC regulated body.

It also reminded me of a weird life moment for me. I was moving once, and I was watching the senior moving guy dictating how the boxes should be arranged in the truck, and I said "wow, you must be amazing at Tetris," and he replied, "you know, everyone tells me that. What the hell is Tetris?"
Most speedometers have a second ruler specifying the km/h speed. It would add a lot of unneeded complexity to change the speedometer's movement rate depending on mph vs. km/h: It's a lot easier to just use a different guideline on the existing dashboard.
I'd agree with you.
In theory, I agree. However, why should California and the rest of the blue states be financing the whole country when the other states can collect their own taxes to pay for disaster relief and other items they need. They are already getting more taxes back than they paid in.

Blue states are getting screwed and really aren't getting adequate federal government representation at the levels their tax dollars and populations would in theory dictate they should have.

Shouldn't states be more responsible for their own well being rather than what we have now a situation where states just offload their responsibility as a state to the federal government? ...and the states are subject to the whims of whomever is in power in the federal government at the time which has higher risk than people are accounting for and as you have already alluded to is being abused even if it ultimately is in theory the right policy?
This seems to be more specifically about backup childcare, for when a kid is sick and can't go to school that day. I suspect that if no backup childcare is available, the mother takes a day off to stay home with the child much more often than the father does. (I'd love to see some data, though.)

So you can fight it two ways, change the culture so that the career harm falls more equitably on men and women both, or create solutions such as backup childcare benefits so the harm does not fall on either.

Not that it's fair, but women stopped washing clothes by hand not because men started, but because laundry machines were invented.
