> The article explains how return-free filing already works in many countries and how it could work in the US. I know it's against the HN guidelines to comment on whether someone has read the article, but you clearly haven't read the article.

This article (or something similar) pops up on HN every six months, and it’s stupid every time. It’s shocking to me that people find the idea credible because it doesn’t even pass the smell test. Even if this was about lobbying, there is no way Intuit and H&R Block can outspend all the people who have an interest in simpler tax filing. Seriously, Intuit spends $2.5 million per year on lobbying—there are dozens of things that raise more on crowdfunding each year, such as the “Opal Nugget Ice Maker.” Last year, a board game raised more money on Kickstarter than Intuit and H&R Block spent lobbying.

The UK is a very different country than the US, and much more comfortable with both central government control and taxes. Switzerland also has manual tax filing, and the US is much more similar to Switzerland in terms of taxes as a fraction of GDP, guns per capita, federalism, etc.

> Does ATS have a network library? Or a 2d canvas library ? Does it compile to JS !? I

It's pretty easy to use C code for libraries.

I haven't use the ATS -> JS compiler myself but I know it exists. Though given that ATS was designed for kernel programming, I'm not sure you'd want to do that.

> I would like to see some more real life examples

There are some very nice examples, though they tend to be lower-level so things like type-safe channels.
Okay, but I was responding to the question of "why can't the tax agency do the work for me?"
RV4FR and RV7FR are IP40 in the manual? That would mean that it's not protected against dust and has zero protection from water.

In a controlled environment this is perfectly fine, where dust and moisture can be controlled - but we're talking about moisture from steam coming off of the coffee, the possibility of coffee spillage on the machine, organic dust from nearby humans, non-clean power supplies and loads which may fall outside of usage rating (i.e. obstacles or heavy loads or continued use close to its maximum).

Honestly I would be surprised if it's still working in a year in these kinds of conditions.

Another issue with smart motors that generally isn't discussed is that they wear out (can only handle lower loads) and lose accuracy. I've used magnetic encoded smart motors for a few projects and after two years you can't rely on them anymore - and this is easy work for the servos (occasional usage).
Thanks for laying out the use case!

I’ve previously worked in restaurants and there’s an analogous problem there. I think this tech will be everywhere someday.

I’mcurious about your insight on the tech. Could you flesh that out a bit more?
In every state, you must notify the DMV of a change in residence, typically within 30 days.

You can declare an API with ATS types that ends up being safer than the C API, so when using the library you have greater safety than a C user.

> people who are more interested in work/life balance and an outdoorsy lifestyle than people who are more interested in interesting tech/projects

From what I've seen it attracts/retains plenty of people who are interested in all those things, rather than being primarily motivated by money or career status. There's a big intersect of people who care about well-designed software/technology, healthy culture and outdoorsy lifestyle.
I disagree, and nothing typed in your condescending dismissal supports what you're saying - either about me, natural selection, or AI in general. It seems like you're projecting some deep seated paranoia onto AGI, and judging from your defensiveness, I would recommend talking to someone professionally about it. Again, you're sweating it a bit too much for what's healthy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For each size shown on the x-axis, every hashing call using exactly that size?

It would be interesting to also have a test where an average size was chosen, but where the actual sizes varied randomly around that average - because that's a common case in real world code, and the results can be very different since branch prediction won't be perfect any more as it is with the fixed size tests.

Also, latency usually means feeding the output of the function back into the input of the next call. Throughput is what you get when you don't do that but you still need to consume the result, so it's not optimized away. You can use something like DoNotOptimize here:

For Emacs (and its web browsers, email clients, etc) this comes up in a concept of “confusables” strings that could easily be mistaken for other strings, usually as a result of Unicode tricks (multiple similar code points from different scripts, or composed versus combined characters, or sometimes ugly tricks with LtR/RtL markers. The code added to emacs was. A library that could be used to detect these probably-misleading tricks, but they didn’t implement a policy for them. The uses I saw of the library fell into the sort of “Danger, Will Robinson! This looks like it might be malicious” type warnings that can be found in most browsers these days.

I remember a number of stories involving vague spirits. This was a long time ago, and I have forgotten quite a bit as I immigrated to the west when I was very young.. but at least one of them sticks with me:

It was a story about a demon that would hang in trees late at night, and if you were to walk under the tree the demon would drop down and latch onto your shoulders, and then eat you.

There was a mechanic in the mythology that involved telling stories with cliffhanger endings, or guessing the ending - the details are lost to me now.

All I know is that as a young child walking around at night, my pace would quicken when going under large trees. Those solemn rural nights, under the large jackfruit trees in the moonlight, the wind a steady whisper - you could almost get a glimpse of the demon's gleaming teeth in your mind's eye - inspiring a foreboding sort of solitude, a primal fear.

I do miss it at times.
That would be surreal, I hope it doesn't come to that.

I’m in the pro tax camp and I kind of like it. I enjoy paying my taxes, but I don’t think the government should take half of peoples’ paychecks without people having to think consciously about it every year.
I've become a bit jaded about getting foods labelled "Organic". Plus organic food is damned expensive, which places it in the category of a luxury. I see no evidence that my organic food dollars are doing anything other than lining the pockets of the food distribution industry. Better might be to do everything we can to ensure a well functioning government that is observing the damage to the environment from pesticides and making well reasoned policy adjustments to how those pesticides are approved, used, monitored, and disposed of.

The landlords without rent control are enjoying this, as are the homeowners moving out. That 45% feels a lot smaller once you realize that your money doesn't go very far.

It's also not all your 45%. You have more competitors for that investment, so you can expect a smaller slice of the pie or a reduced chance at getting some pie.
When I picked up a new phone last fall, this change made me irrationally angry. Now everything looks like a little piece of candy and not like an icon. Designs proceed further and further toward abstraction to the point that, without a lot of contextual knowledge, it can be hard to tell what they represent or if they even represent anything.

Maybe I'm just being curmudgeonly, but I think icon design went downhill in about the mid-nineties. Classic Mac OS and Windows 95 haven't really been bested in terms of icon design clarity... and don't get me started about the loss of the Classic Mac OS Finder and its purely spatial metaphor. Not all design work is progress.
I always think about this passage when I read about California droughts. I wonder if this is actually true and what causes it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_fallacy

The fallacy is the argument that two states or conditions cannot be considered distinct (or do not exist at all) because between them there exists a continuum of states.

In other words, your reasoning is a textbook example of this fallacy.

"Android has 71% market share in the EU, as of February 2019 - compared to iOS's 21%."

I think it's worth pointing out that Spotify is a Swedish company, where iOS has a 58% market share, according to the site you linked. It could be that Spotify's main markets are ones where iOS has a more significant share.

"In theory, if the 30% cut was too high, developers wouldn't want to develop on the iOS platform"

The problem is not just that Apple is taking a 30% cut; it's that it's also running a competing service. Spotify are arguing that Apple are unfairly using their supposed dominance in one market (phones) to achieve dominance in another market (streaming music).

> First Lyft should have built an expertise in infrastructure?

The alternative being that they should have build an expertise in using AWS instead?

I'm not particularly trying to argue either way; I'm just saying that claiming that using AWS doesn't need expertise is a false premise. AWS isn't special here, either.

If instead you use some sort of abstraction and/or tooling, now you need expertise in that tooling.

It's not that simple - if Lyft won't connect and everything else works, riders and drivers will turn to competitors. Once they've installed the app and signed up for an account with Uber, they're a lot less likely to stick exclusively or primarily with Lyft.
> 1 can only be done after the problem is detected, which by then your plane is pointing dangerously down.

If you are referring to the documented procedure for recovering from a trim runaway, then all 737s would be dangerous, as this is the same procedure for trim runaway recovery as it is for the prior versions, and regardless of whether it is caused by an MCAS fault or for any other reason. The pilot is not expected to determine whether it is an MCAS fault before acting, because the recovery from runaway trim is the same, regardless of cause.
I think you’re being too harsh here. The author didn’t come close to claiming that MtG drafting was solved; instead the claim is that they were able to train a fairly straightforward model to perform relatively well — within the metric of “as hand-judged by a proficient player” — to draft cards.

There is a vast amount of interesting space (both as AImresearch and as a fun toy) between “fully groks the current and predicatable near-future meta on a professional level” and “drafts playable decks”. As I read it, the OP is saying “Hey, I built something surprisingly simple that can draft playable decks. When I compare it to an available corpus of draft data from random human players, I think it does as well or better.” On the other hand, I don’t see anything like “I built AlphaGo for Magic drafts.”
First reaction: this is brilliant. So stupidly simple that I can’t believe no one has done it.
Why don't you make paying tax easier? It wouldn't work here. Why don't you reduce your carbon emissions? It wouldn't work here. Why don't you make healthcare affordable? It wouldn't work here. Why don't you make it harder for psychologically disturbed adolescents to access semi-automatic weapons? It wouldn't work here.

It's the same argument ad nauseum about every political issue since before the civil war. The US is unique, the US electorate have strong and immutable views, the US cannot learn from anyone else. Time and time again, educated people dismiss the possibility of change, dismiss the possibility of persuasion and compromise and reconciliation, dismiss the possibility of shifting the Overton window and changing the zeitgeist. That isn't common sense, it's political nihilism. The consequences of that nihilistic ideology are writ large on the American political landscape and they are proving to be disastrous.
Zuckerberg's Theory
Not just the app store but Apple's music store as well!
The App Store is a voluntary system for all developers. Nobody is forced to write apps for the iPhone—and Apple did put a lot of work into making the ecosystem work very well for developers. Whether they deserve exactly 30% of revenues is a valid debate, but there is no doubt that Apple's efforts adds value to the market.

What has Spotify done for anyone? What is so genius about saying "hey, you can have this really cheap product because we've somehow convinced our suppliers to sell us the product for next to nothing!"
This seems like an overly emotional interpretation of things, written in an intentionally aggressive style.

Are there any lawyers here who can actually make an interpretation of the situation free of emotion and PR speak? I still don't understand the fundamental basis for why Apple is legally obligated to "play fair" on the App Store. Reasons I've heard that don't make sense to me include:

- XYZ, inc. made a business on the App Store, so XYZ should be free to pay a cut to Apple that is intuitively "fair" in some vague sense, simply because their entire business is on the App Store.

- 30% just sounds intuitively too much, so they aren't playing fair

- 30% is higher than other, vaguely related platforms charge for vaguely related services, so that means it's unfair simply because the number is higher

- Apple also makes apps that sell the same types of subscriptions, so Apple should be fixing prices of competing services at a point where...? Spotify can make a profit? Consumers are just always charged the same amount for any "music app" from any competing company? This seems to be the one that a lot of people hang their hat on as the nuanced way to look at it.

"No, but it's about the competing product they offer, they undercut Spotify's price." etc.

But, undercut what? Spotify's price point relative to their current business model? I don't understand the argument here. Spotify is another business. We're not talking about some minimum wage thing for a person where you have a moral imperative to keep the price above a certain point, inherently.

I don't understand why any legal system should be forced to take Spotify's current business model as the peak optimal one possible, and then say that they couldn't possibly lower their price to match Apple's competing service without irreparable harm to their business. Why does any of this matter, legally? Companies make money, industries grow and fade, niches pop in and out of existence as paradigms shift, business cycles up and down. What are the laws that mean Apple must be civil with Spotify here?
Yet another startup that throws tech at a non-issue. People buying cheap coffee just do that when doing their groceries. And people buying expensive ones are probably inclined to try new ones based on recommendations of their local dedicated store. Congratulations, you removed chit-chat with the clerk, smelling the different varieties of products, buying something unplanned, i.e. what’s make interesting to go buying coffee.

To add insult to the injury you even charge for a monthly subscription, which is quite expensive if you compare to any real service (Netflix, a vps vm, iCloud storage, etc.)

I would argue that shaping behaviour is another aspect of looking after your key supporters.

If you put taxes on speculative trading, such traders won't vote for you -- but people who are against speculative trading will. If you give speculative traders a tax cut, the inverse happens.

It also obviously will shape behaviour, but if that was the only purpose then the government wouldn't be fulfilling their primary purpose: trying to stay in power as long as possible so they can achieve whatever they set out to do.
