Reasons: After 5 years of everyday use, it's still in perfect shape, it's definitely build to last. I cycle to work every day with it, it's very comfortable for short (~40 min) rides. It's also good for travelling since it's capable of expanding quite a lot if needed, fits most 15" laptops (probably also some 17").
Judging by the comments, a lot of people value entrepreneurship for the personal freedom and autonomy.

The article suggests being able to save 89k per year. Under reasonable assumptions, 7.5 years of saving at this rate will support an income of 31k / year (the median US salary) for the rest of your life, leaving you with ~50 years of runway for whatever else you care to do.

This is especially interesting if the thing you actually want to do is something that is valuable to society but not profitable eg maintaining free software or raising a child.

As a person who was put through the Finnish schoolsystem, I can say that homework definitely exists in Finland. However, it greatly depends on the specific school and teachers. Some give little homework while others give substantial amounts. The average time I spent was probably about 45 minutes, and my peers did less. In the high school I attended much homework was given but I only rarely did any of it, and got excellent grades anyway. That is to say, generally speaking homework has no religious status in Finland, but the details depend on the teachers.

And school is indeed quite relaxed in Finland. Bullying does exist though, but there is absolutely none of this elite school racing mentality where you have to attend the right kindergarten, do many goal-oriented extracurricular activities and basically prove your exceptionality almost daily.

Saying that we have a lack of space in San Francisco (or any American city) is like closing your eyes and saying the sun doesn't exist anymore. It's a deliberate nonsensical denial of reality. In order to say such absurd nonsense, you have to pretend that denser cities do not exist.

If you only want to look at functional a more pure functional language like haskell may fit yyou better both ocaml and F# allows to do functions which are not truly pure it even have mutable variables which are not normally a thing. So if it to learn purely functional haskell or SML may be better.

What? The ban was applied the same, everywhere. Stores were allowed to give out paper bags with handles on the idea that those are more reusable (and, IMO this is true, and in any case those bags are much easier to recycle, or heck compost, and they don't cause anywhere near the litter problem).

If anything, who do you think has to deal more with the problem of plastic bag litter, folks in Tarrytown or those in East Austin? Poor people want a clean environment too you know.

> I agree that it shouldn't disappear, but it seems like the fix would be to have some limits on how long a capital gains can be delayed so that they will mostly be paid in installments during a person's lifetime, rather than in a big chunk at the end.

The problem with this is that the "capital" in many of these cases is a family business. You have some auto shop and the company owns the shop with its land and equipment, but it's all needed to continue operating the business, so you can't sell it without shutting down. Meanwhile the business only makes enough to pay the salaries of the owner-employees, who would likewise shut down the business if they weren't getting paid. So the business is worth more than the taxes it owes, but the only way to pay them would be to liquidate the assets and cease operations. The government sensibly prefers to allow the business to continue operating and collect the taxes later.

But then that creates another perverse incentive. You've just graduated medical school when you inherit an auto shop. If you sell the shop and use the money to found a medical practice (or just invest it in a major ETF and go work for a hospital), you immediately lose $250K to taxes. If you continue operating the auto shop, you don't, which gives it an advantage it shouldn't have and you end up with a doctor running an auto shop. It creates too much of a preference for not selling the shop. So to solve that we reset the basis. But how is that better than leaving its basis where it is but allowing it to be sold and the low tax basis transferred to the medical practice or the stock purchase?

(edit: basis isn't set to zero, taxable gain is zeroed out by setting basis to FMV)
A solution to a symptom, certainly... But not the disease.

If removing plastic causes this sort of thing, then something critical has been ignored. It's probably best if the society faces that problem and deals with it.

Probably. There is a difference between artificial general intelligence and self-driving in that it could be the sensory acquisition/processing and/or the untethered mobility that is the limiting factor for self-driving rather than specifically computing advances.

(IOW, artificial general intelligence in a datacenter does not necessarily imply untethered self-driving.)

VISA isn't for qualifying chips as much as it is for debugging chips including customer returns. Long ago access to limited versions of the signals was given to some customers under NDA and customers had the ability to set customer fuses which would prevent Intel from unlocking the debug features. There's also an unsupressable "debug enabled" bit hardwire to a lot of these functions if I remember so the parent system can always see if somebody turned on the debug functions. Turning on debug functions also usually had the effect of disabling/corrupting important key material.

This said, its basically a giant signal mux system run into a main block, you'd be pretty limited on what preselected signals are available at a time. People were also reasonably careful not to give entire busses of signals at once.

It does evolve, one that always catches my eye is the singular "they" as a gender-neutral pronoun. It was drummed into me in school that this was incorrect, and I always notice it. That said, I do sometimes catch myself using it, but I almost always go back and correct it.

They have little paid leave because they have summers and other holidays off, and as for answering emails - welcome to having a job in America.

When you factor that they only work 2/3 of the year, the value of their pension and healthcare teachers actually make a considerable amount of money.

That being said I’m not sure what the right amount is - I put a great deal of value on education - then again the best private institutions probably pay less than public ones at the k-12 level
Who’s Minding the Macintosh Store?
A combination of reasons:

- Linking to a specific page might not work for many setups such as those who use an external program to open the pdf

- The tweet is a lot easier for many people to digest who may otherwise pass on reading (even a section of) a 40 page pdf

- The full original source (which often I would prefer to link) was easily available in the tweet, so it wouldn't be hard to find for anyone who wanted it

- Coming up with a suitable submission title (80 characters or less) for the PDF was difficult as I wanted it to include information about more than one of the sections (such as both remote control + lane changing)
Your licensing terms are less offensive, and more invalid from incoherency and encouraging of illegal actions as well as showing a deep misunderstanding of what valid licensing and contract terms even are.
A landlord in a hot market isn't deriving most of the income from his property though, but rather from the real estate.
Companies spend lots of money on security. But then it happens that they're vulnerable when an employee is hacked. I can see in the future companies paying to test their employee's individual security. They might even promote it as an employee perk.

I already know of a company that was hacked due to an email exploit. So they cleaned things up and gave employees specific training. Then six months later they launched their own email attack, something like ten percent of their employees failed that test!
It's definitely not my language of choice but I commend them for making good progress from a bad starting point.
They're banned here in Austin.

So what I do now is ask for paper or heavy duty plastic bags (because those are apparently still legal here?) every time I go shopping because I never, ever remember to lug a bunch of dirty, empty canvas bags back to my car.

I also buy more garbage bags because I used to use the plastic bags from the grocery store as small garbage bags.

I'm creating more waste than ever.

Physical access = full control, I've long held that belief and am not happy that this freedom is continually being eroded in the name of ever-increasing ridiculous "security" (a lot of it against the user, for things like DRM, as mentioned in one of the other comments here.)

People care because that means that when you run something in the "Cloud(tm)" you have to trust the cloud provider.

The goal of things like "SGX" was so that you could run things on machines under someone else's control and still trust the results.
Does that make any difference from the perspective of the nation who feels threatened by the power?

From the Chinese perspective I don't think it makes much difference whether something they perceive to be threatening originates somewhere in the soup of the internet and then makes its way into China or is a concerted effort by a foreign government.

I think the same would be true in reverse, when the Chinese internet would collectively promote material running counter to US interests, say for patriotic reasons, it'd be subject to scrutiny just the same. (In fact historically that did sort of happen to say, pro Soviet American citizens)
I really hate the concept that parents push for their kids to experience whatever they felt was normal in their upbringing. What about taking even the tiniest bit of critical thinking and conclude that you should want for your kids whatever turned out to be valuable in your upbringing and not want whatever you reflect on as negative or wasteful‽

I have low tolerance for B.S. myself, and I basically did whatever homework was really meaningful and skipped whatever was busy-work. My own school grades reflected primarily the arbitrariness of which teachers put higher weighting on tedious homework.

Homework is the source of my main memory of academic injustice: valedictorian regularly didn't finish homework whenever she knew she would get away with lying about it (holding up some half-done or even different-subject paper and getting an "okay" from teacher just going around checking everyone). Meanwhile, my honesty that I sometimes did it and other times not brought me careful scrutiny so that I was marked down for every little unfinished item in each assignment.

It's regrettable that there are people living on the streets, but whose housing in particular do they have a right to? Or to whose labor to provide them with housing? Is it more just to provide them with housing by coercion, or to make laws and regulations in such a way as to encourage and reward charitable activity? Or is there another way that doesn't require an implicit gun at the givers' heads?
Yes, and so we learn to never trust user input when writing software because it might be malicious.

But not trusting sensor input for cars is not really an option, it's all you have, and everybody can try to change it.

Being locked out of your home one in three times is an eviction. The landlord isn't even making a pretense at honoring the lease at that point.
How does that work if your social graph doesn’t move with you? This reminds me of the 90’s when we had so many messenger apps - you needed different apps to talk to different people. Data portability doesn’t help that. I suppose Zuck is well aware of that.
I'm afraid if you read the manifesto and considered it reasonable then there's not much I can do. It's not about the facts (on that front the manifesto has been fully debunked), it's about what's acceptable in how we treat women in tech, and that manifesto was entirely unacceptable.

To me, my friends, my colleagues, and my peers on the internet, it was clearly the writing of a very sexist man with no interest in understanding the experiences of women or other minority groups in tech. He not only had no interest in understanding these experiences, he clearly did not believe they even existed, whitewashing all other experiences with his own, and his very naive and ignorant view of what diversity initiatives do and the reasons they exist.

Studies have shown time and time again, including studies conducted at Google, that diverse teams are higher performing and happier.

I think you need to take a long hard look at your biases, as they are not acceptable in today's society. I hope that you can change your views before you push women out of tech. These views are something that society wholeheartedly rejects today, and if you don't realise that they are wrong, you are going to struggle more and more in life.

Here we use the big hiking backpacks for a big purchase. How would you even carry those amounts in plastic bags? You plan these trips, so you bring enough bags with you.
The basis is reset to the FMV on the date of death currently. It's probably possible to 1031 exchange the real estate portion into the real estate portion of the medical practice. (I am not a tax expert.) More likely though, you just take the inherited step-up in basis and sell the thing outright.

> how is that better than leaving its basis where it is but allowing it to be sold and the low tax basis transferred [to another investment]?

IMO, that is better from a record-keeping and audit perspective. It is often not possible to determine when or at what basis an asset was acquired, particularly when the original purchaser can no longer be interviewed. It is not a particularly exploitable loophole as you have to die to "take advantage" of it.
Hmm, I'm not sure I agree with the specific example given here. How can you say that a cabbage harvester produces $70k in value per year when they are paid much less than that, and every part of the supply chain for cabbage almost certainly enjoys tiny margins (cabbage farms, cabbage distributors, and grocery stores are not known as high margin businesses as far as I am aware).

You might argue that the excess value being produced by the cabbage harvester is being accrued by the consumer - that they are enjoying significant value from the cabbage that they aren't paying for. But I doubt that too - I'm almost certain that if the price of cabbage were to, say, double, that cabbage sales would plummet.

I'm not saying that jobs are not always compensated with their true value. You're right that frequently people extract much more or much less value than they produce. But I think that your example is not one of these, and I'm curious if there is research about how many* jobs actually fit this description.
You make a very good point. The bladder dysfunction might have been the only thing capable of pulling these sad people out of an otherwise endless loop of k-holes.

For one project I worked on, I used a combination of Jquery and HandleBarsJs. It was a great combination and pretty clean. I attached events to the rendered template items, then changed the datamodel as appropriate and rerendered the template.

I didn’t (and still don’t) know any of the $cool_kids front end frameworks. But it couldn’t have been a SPA anyway. Each of the pages were created by a CMS that ran on the web and in a native mobile app that had to be able to work offline.
This. Sharing a street with others requires human communication: a driver waves to a pedestrian wanting to use a crosswalk, or a pedestrian waves a driver through before doing so, or they both pause before one or the other goes first. Our streets aren't designed for robots, and while they may work on controlled-access highways in the not-too-distant future, I don't expect to see self-driving cars on city streets within the next few decades.

I'm not sure I see the problem. Care to elaborate on just how ownership is a problem for OSS projects?

Hickey's and the parent's CoC both express that, as far as people go, the OSS project is about the project owner(s) and not about "you" as a user of that project. It seems you are implying that this stance is bad and narcissistic instead of a healthy approach to working with OSS (which seems to be the more general interpretation).

There is still a surprising amount of plastic bags left even if you eliminate the ones for carrying. The bag toilet paper comes in, for example, works pretty well.
I actually had an 8th grade teacher do a special conference with my parents after I complained strongly enough about the nonsense of homework, and she was gracious enough to give me an exception that I could be graded on tests alone.

Other kids liked that homework points boosted their grades from mediocre test scores. But I aced all the tests and thus didn't have to do any homework.

That was a strange one-time case though.
It's such a shame, upstate NY is such a nice place but the state legislature (often catering to NYC) is a persistent thorn in our side. Most I know up here would eagerly vote to secede from Long Island given the option.
Thanks. Have you approached any solutions to avoid this fate? My kids are still pre schooling.
I'm pretty sure that would be illegal in most places. What you have to do is call the management company. It sucks, but I would just advise darker skinned people, who this is likely to be an issue for, to rent only in places without this sort of system. Being locked out once out of every three times you come home is not really tenable.
What’s the experiment though?
Because they're a maintenance nightmare.
This is more a function of a low ceiling for government employees than it is anything special about contracting. Like other places it's a race to the bottom for most, with small pockets of exceptional pay for very in demand specialties.
Can you define "success"? Furthermore, can you provide examples where schooling isn't better served by a private entity (in scale and time)?
Right. If you bill one hour and don't have to issue a refund, you're in the green. Nearly impossible to mess up. Harder to mess up than being an Uber driver with lower capital requirements.
