The problem is when you say you want to live apart from others, but you want that to be right here where there happen to currently be other people. When you say that, even if you claim to not be advocating for violence or forceful removal, that is effectively what you’re advocating. There are white nationalist groups that actually use the phrase “peaceful ethnic cleansing.”
> I was surprised to find the plane can be flown solo [1],

Doubtlessly a consequence of the A-12 being flown solo. The SR-71 was a derivative of the A-12.
I'm assuming it's another status symbol these parents feel they need to have in order to 'fit in'.
That "overhead" is essential to keeping a team running.

Hiring means the right people get brought in and the talent pool grows and a positive culture (say, blameless post-mortems, learning and sharing, etc.) forms.

Firing means that people aren't getting booted on a whim and that when they are getting booted it's done quickly and efficiently.

Performance reviews help guarantee good pay or good feedback for the people on the team, and are what helps keep them from leaving.

Meetings are the way that you advocate for your team and where you can meatshield to keep the howling vortex of crazy that is business for making their life harder.

It's all "overhead", but that "overhead" is very important to the quality of life.
Professional gamblers are supposed to pay self employment tax, which is 15.3% (half is deductible), and then all ordinary income taxes. So that's a top federal rate of 37%, plus -- she's presumably a New York City resident -- another 8.82% at the top rate for NY and 3.82% for NYC. That's about 65% gross, then once you factor in the deduction... about a 60% net marginal tax rate.

So she's not wrong, but she'd only be hitting those numbers if she won a really big tournament or two.

Edit: I forgot that the self employment tax phases out at ~$120k labor income, so she'd need a lot of investment income (or a high earning spouse) to pay both the top marginal income tax rates and the and 15% employment tax.
We could re-implement C as well, but is it sensible if we already have C?

If someone could explain the difference between WASI and JVM the way you can explain the difference between C, C++ or Rust, it would help a lot. If there is no such explanation, I think we should really question what is being accomplished here.

As it stands currently, WebAssembly seems to integrate nicely with browsers, whereas JVM works nicely in native environments. I'm a younger developer and only partly remember the days of Java on the web, but is there a reason for why JVM is not suitable in web environments? I.e. why WebAssembly -> Native, not JVM -> Web?
Possibly. But then there are schools of similar quality and prestige within the University of California system as well as no shortage of Tier 2-ish private liberal arts colleges throughout the country.
Yes, our (Matrix's) cross-signing feature, which we're currently working on, sounds similar to the solution presented by Keybase in this blog post.
There's no absolute "should" for what you're talking about, but the argument most economists would make is that most other tax schemes other than land value taxes are economically inefficient. One way this can manifest is deadweight loss.

This means that we misallocate resources.

For instance, consider a man who buys a lot of land next to city hall. He does nothing with it for years as the city grows up around him. His lot is now worth a lot of money and he pays very little for it yearly. One way of looking at this is in terms of how much it costs to provide him services: nothing, so his property tax is net positive. Another way is that there is a net loss to society because his property is not put to use in an economically efficient way.

Economically efficient does not necessarily mean developed, by the way. Golden Gate Park may be an economically efficient allocation of resources, though it is not used for built up space.
That's what was meant. You can take the 9 or 12 month option. No one takes the 9 month option. I spent 5 years working for schools. I took the 12 month option. But the time off is fantastic. Nothing like the look on my wife's face when I'm not getting out of bed for three months to go slog. I miss the time off.
One question to ask this person would be, what other one-off non-investment expenses in cash and stock of $600k+ are you incurring that are completely legit and above the board?

When I see stuff like this, it just seem like something where "oh-my-gosh we made a terrible mistake" it is more likely part of a pattern of behavior its just in this instance they got caught.
if "cool looks" was a factor, IMHO the YF-23 is near the top.
> we are in no way faced with a growing trend of violent leftists shooting up

There must be quite a few really existing worlds then, because this is exactly what leftists always do.
Scala. Get the Manning book.
If you fail to keep a receipt for a $10k entry fee I think that's on you.

Edit: I think you can't carry over losses from prior years, so if you lose money one year and make money the next, your taxes on your net earnings can be higher. Rule of thumb for professional poker players: If you don't have a profitable tax year, it is time to quit.
And nobody apparently wants to spend any more money on elections, even though it's actually going to take money to fix the problems.
Half of Older Americans Have Nothing in Retirement Savings
I agree wholeheartedly. Developing a "blue-ocean" mentality lends itself very well to profit creation and market leadership. Since everything is new, you have to be able to design and iterate on systems and processes that can mutate very quickly, with few priors available. Knowing what to do when nobody knows what to do is a highly valuable skill.

> "Speech that harms people" and "speech that hurt people's feelings" are so closely related and sometimes people (intentionally or unintentionally) mix them up.

Maybe make this argument when we aren't talking about literal Nazis. Advocating harm is their entire schtick.
>One idea I have if the sites start outright blocking blocking users, is to sort out how to write the ads to a form of /dev/null

I think several dns-based ad blocking programs can do this today, but so far I have not had a problem with returning NULL address (0.0.0.0). Pihole talks about the pros and cons of common approaches: https://docs.pi-hole.net/ftldns/blockingmode/. One downside is you have to run a webserver to catch the redirect and all the overhead that comes with it.
Lots of country clubs are still white exclusive. Private christian schools still exclude gay teachers.
Dear god... that means that the government will win more from your poker playing than you _ever_ will!
There's plenty of racist content from African Americans on social media (particularly Twitter). It tends to center around the ideas that white people are inherently evil by nature, other races are inherently good by nature, and segregation should be enforced in some areas (safe spaces where white men cannot enter, or activities and organizations they cannot join).

It's not that there isn't racist content from non-white Americans. The difference is that it hasn't called for violence, or incited mass shootings in schools and churches.
I think I agree with this entirely.
So ... Schmidhuber's was the seminal work and the later ones were incremental improvements that came from an understanding of Schmidhuber's work ?
Either they are presenting valid arguments or they aren't. If you have the mental tools to analyze and quickly dismiss arguments it doesn't matter if they aren't acting in good faith.
I’m saying there’s no reason why the son of a wealthy VC should even remotely need help gaming the admissions game of a public college with a 40% admissions rate given the vast resources you should have had since your birth. The fact that there was even a chance he could have not gotten in (which should be difficult to do if you got above average SAT scores even from out of state) is quite frankly shocking.

This must have been more than an “insurance plan” to ensure getting in. Completely seriously his son must have been a legitimately terrible student or actually not very bright at all.
It is yeah, the whole idea of middle class is that people have money to spare on luxury. To me that's the ideal of civilization, where people don't have to worry (much) about the day to day, and can spend their social credit on the things they love and derive pleasure from. Whether that's drinking a coffee with their friends or family, visiting the movie theatre, or looking at pictures of their home under construction.
Yeah, the important thing is to ignore any number you ever see in a headline about poker winnings, because it basically just means gross revenues. It says nothing at all about whether someone actually made money. (Okay, so it's pretty hard to lose all of a really big score, but the sort of people who make them are also disproportionately likely to be able to lose them in a hurry as well).
I'm a recent engineering grad working in medical quality, and it's a world away from the design work I fell in love with in school and even from the test work in internship. But something Dave Jones of EEVBlog has said is that if you can get your design satisfaction outside of work, then work can just be what it is.
I'm sure how much of the physics you love can be done on your own time... Seems like the kind of field you need collaborators and CapEx but it's making me feel better about being paid to essentially check the work of others against regulation and sign off on it.
It is supposed to be the cheaper stealth fighter.
Best not to read the comments. There's literally nothing you can do about the phenomenon you're describing.
From the modern, multiracial American perspective, yes that would be xenophobic.

"Plane" is a bit of a misnomer for the X-15, though. "Rocket with wings" is more accurate.
it doesn't in it's essence include any form of violent action at least according to ex their US leader

Who would you consider that to be, please?

ISIS ideology is about killing the infidels and actually doing it

I really hope you're not going to offer a 'no true Scotsman' argument for why the people who do commit murders or other terrorism in support of WN ideology should be considered as separate from the people espousing said ideology even though quite a lot of them advocate exactly such action.

'Survival of the white race' suggests there is some looming danger of extinction, a position which seems to have little foundation in fact and mostly depends on the trope that non-white people are rushing to outbreed everyone else - ignoring abundant data showing that high birth rates are correlated with poor mortality outcomes and extreme poverty, and move in inverse proportion to economic security.

I might add that obfuscation and misdirection are key components of far-right recruitment strategies. Refer, for example, to the style guide from the editor of the Daily Stormer, which emphasizes the rhetorical use of humor, irony, and ambiguity to obfuscate the primary agenda while still achieving emotional activation: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/daily-stormer-nazi-styl...
Well, at least in the US many PhDs have one only because it is the easiest way to immigrate to the country. The majority of CS PhDs are foreigners. It's easier than finding a job and getting a work visa. PhD is usually fully funded and tuition is waived. Unlike Masters which most international students cannot afford since financial aid is rare.
I know that feeling but people were not entirely unlearned before widespread home broadband. Consider the possibility that you could even learn more than you do now, without using the internet at home. It’s likely possible!
I fact why not create a list of simple to moderate tasks. And have them write out code snippets for each. But you're allowed to use an IDE and/or google.
I joined a startup that had done a proof of concept and some analysis before I joined. I googled a couple of equity calculators and read through the justifications and kinda averaged them out.
I use Apple's Calendar and had misremembered how it handled time zones. It handles them the same way.
I have kinda the same problem. Others random playlist are much better then mine. I only get the same old boring stuff, while others get new and exiting music I've never heard... I was an early adopter then paused my subscription for about 6 years because i couldn't find new music. Now when i try again i still cant find any new stuff. I also have the same problem with the Youtube algorithms. Same songs over and over.
Link [3] is hilarious in how banal it is- the same of the manual describes both how to defog your windows and how to GTFO if under hostile missile fire.
I've really enjoyed working in Go (coming from a PHP background). The language is simple, and most of the time, code that's written in Go is just as readable/understandable months or years later as it is on the day you wrote it. It's a really enjoyable experience. I don't think it's a particularly good choice for GUI applications on any platform though. I've been down that road and it's pretty painful. For that, I'm learning Rust.
What is the evidence it maximizes group performance?
Elon wouldn't approve.
Here is a hand-wavy characterization that is hopefully useful. A bachelors degree in X is meant to take you from nearly zero to "thinking like an X", it is the high points of sometimes centuries of thought in an area, summarized and you are handheld through the process. A masters degree will bridge the gap between the "nice" standard courses and the "messy" current research front. It's meant to get you to the point of reading current research effectively. A Ph.D. is mean to bridge you from understanding to contributing (as the focus of your work). When you've finished it, you should be expert in one or two very narrow areas, but also have the tools to make yourself expert in others.

Of course you can learn things without this structure, but having a phd is a reasonable short hand for ability in independent innovation, perhaps companies lean on it a bit much, but that is not unique to phds.

The main problem I've had bridging phd's to commercial work is hitting the right focus on skill development in areas that were deficient/missing in their course of study. A classic example, a lot of technical phds who have programmed every day for many years ... are not skilled programmers. They can become so, but have to want to learn (and not dismiss it as "trivial")
The big self employment tax hit is for SS, and that maxes out well before she gets anywhere near the 37% rate. And it's not 37% for entire ride. Nevertheless I'd wager that you're mostly spot on and she's adding in the top local rates and applying it to the first dollar of income.
Various articles say that a straight donation needs to be $2-10M so these bribes are significantly cheaper.
Yeah, with all the research about how well correlated legitimate academic achievement is with family wealth, what does it say about you when you have to pay extra for one of these "consultants"?
Ask HN: How to fight Product Hunt penalty with comments
Hey! We've launched our SaaS MA Playbook today and had a second place, but suddenly something went strange and Product Hunt algorithm kicked our product down the list.
Some top hunters told us that comments are weighted more than upvotes, so we're trying to make a come back.

How does the ban work? The user is banned? The content is shadowbanned? What exactly are they doing? I can't figure it out from the message.
Physicist (MS, not PhD) here. Started a healthcare software company and went through YC. The problem solving strategies learned in my physics training have been incredibly helpful in starting a business.
I'd throw in the H&K XM25 grenade launcher on the list as well. Wouldn't be out of place in a sci-fi movie.
Thought experiment for ya:

> Facebook to ban homosexual hookup content

How about that, eh? Funny how a simple change of political platform will U-turn your support of so-called 'free speech'!
Better yet, why doesn't DARPA design them and then the federal gov't outlaw any other voting machine, for any election.
Any five minutes of trying to use Windows to do anything, for one.
I quite enjoy the keyboard on my ThinkPad X1, especially compared to my MBP keyboard. I could say the opposite about the touch pad, but that wasn't the question.
I'm guessing not.
Maybe we just start with: "Are Nazis bad?"
Debian for server, OpenSUSE TW for desktop
I still think Keybase is right — multi-device or some kind of multi-trust model is best so the key revocations aren’t happening so often. I remember this problem with PGP and most people did not take the key verification seriously.

And the problem with SSH that was pointed out in the article is funny now because of cloud services where servers are constantly being destroyed, so keys are changing frequently, unless you save and persist that private key for the server in your configuration. Which I’ve realized a lot of companies are simply not doing, which leads to people straight up ignoring key verifications in their ssh config.
sounds rough
For the same reason people buy Corollas when Audis are available. Even with all the troubles the F-35 has had, the F-22s still have a substantially higher unit cost.

The F-22 also can't be sold as an export.
1. Is a study on how effectively Reddit banned some users
2. Is some woman’s opinion on how people should write about Internet-related news

Neither of those sources demonstrate that banning “alt-right” content “works” unless you mean that banning results in bans.
Yes, also in Oregon. Our elections are also by mail, so you don't have to stand in line at your local voting station.
Being aware of people and surroundings in their true form is better than gagging some of the people around us, yes?

We have been hating on others not like ourselves since the caveman days. I honestly can’t think of any time in history when we haven’t been doing horrible things to each other. It’s like cancer. We are able to diagnose it and hear more about it now.

It’s like saying ...we are going to install a ban on sharing that you have cancer. “If we don’t know about it, we don’t have to acknowledge that there is a terminal illness amongst some of us. And all will be fine and dandy.”
The great thing about the Internet is that anyone can publish a website and any other Internet user can access it.

The web is pleasant over here in the blogosphere. People write what they want, and readers read what they want. There’s no clamor about ads, algorithms, and censorship. Try it sometime!
Kind of OT but the belligerent SSH message example they used is good comedy
I think that is a little unfair to the kid, really.

I know a person who came from by all appearances a great background who made poor decisions as a young adult and failed to achieve a lot.

But then their sibling went on to a top tier college, enter NY finance and marry the child of a nobel laureate.

I also know someone who was raised by a single father who was abusive, but went on to put themselves through a BS in engineering and has done well for themselves at least professionally.

Origins do not dictate futures, and just because you don't get good grades early on doesn't mean you aren't a promising person.
>But Jesus, what's up with all these super-rich people who either (a) have totally incompetent kids

Regression to the mean. IQ is only .73 heritable, so it's a one in four chance that two above average people can produce a child of "just" average intelligence.
>Are you saying that white supremacists only hurt people's feelings and does not have real and tangible outcomes?

Are you going to extend that same logic to devout religious followers that want a government aligned with their religion and think non-followers should be forcefully re-educated or killed?
Actually, I think it is wrong to call it TOFU as it simply doesn't require the user to opt-in to anything. Instead, it seems more like the thing the XMPP people call 'blind trust before verification' [1]. I am not quite sure if it is exactly the same as 'blind trust before verification' changes its behavior as soon as you explicitly verified the keys.

That way everybody can use somehow e2e encrypted messages, but if you really care about the security you validate your keys and get a real trusted e2e encryption.

I would reccomend trying a ML language like SML, OCaml or F#, I have recently written some f# again after break and it is nice to come back to a simple language that is fun to write in.
This already happens with income-subsidized housing. The added long-term requirement is absurd for the same reasons that locking people into long-term rentals is bad for rent control. You don't want to inhibit movement in the market.
>also to be a manager in the athletics program

Really? Does anyone really go to college with the dream of being a manager of a sports team? I was actually co-manager for a year or two but that's because the coach sought me out to do public relations stuff.

It was an interesting diversion but not the sort of thing I had ever thought about on my own and (I'm guessing) probably not that hard to get a coach to take you on so long as it wasn't something like the football team.
> If VICE is trash, then it should be easy to point out where the article is wrong, right?

Yes, although there is no need to defend my opinion every time after having bothered to read this kind of junk often enough. And the well is already poisoned by past articles.

The trashy VICE article has a broad claim in its headline that suggests (and is used to claim by the post here) that deplatforming works as a general tool against alt-right hate speech. The study itself only found that within a few weeks of shutting down certain subreddits, hate speech in a few other subreddits did not compensate. They did not investigate whether the hate speech went to other platforms, decreased in general or even increased due to radicalization from this. Nor did it examine long-term effects. And to be honest, it's not particularly convincing since it's heavy on ideology (example: "These constitute our invaded subreddits. Using this method, we identify 1201 subreddits invaded by r/fatpeoplehate migrants and 275 subreddits invaded by r/CoonTown migrants.").
Just a note, I did not find it any more rude than other comments that get a free pass. Commenting that more familiarity with the literature is necessary can be a very factual claim.
There is a few really great stories about the SR-71 on the internet, many out of the book "Sled Driver". I would not (as it is customary on other parts of the internet) leave the full copy-pasta here, but I do recommend the "air speed check) story (to be found e.g. at https://oppositelock.kinja.com/favorite-sr-71-story-10791270... ) and the low fly-by (e.g. at https://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-sr-71-blackbirds-most-...).
I understand that, but I was trying to point out the difficulty in drawing that distinction when it comes to applying a censorship policy.
I cannot express how much gratitude I feel for you.
If they go underground it makes it a lot harder for them to radicalize idiots on facebook. Sounds like a win to me.

The average person isn't exactly curious about different ideologies but when facebook and youtubes algorithms throw it in their face constantly? Probably something we want to fix.
1. F22's are banned from being sold to anyone but the US.
