What would be an appropriate number, then?
"Linux-based 4G phones with Google Assistant "
i was ok with the first phrase, the second was like grain alcohol spiking a fine bourbon.

The reason i would buy a linux phone would be to avoid having a MITM burned onto the rom of my phone. The device presented in this article doesnt provide that nessecity.

I think the law of averages applies, not knowing how much google and others payout to burn kruft into peoples product, im going to guess that the increased global saturation level of google ASSistant is worth it for google and a good revenue for the OEM.
ill bet the price is subsidied to 7$, i would pay 70$ for this phone, if it had no google ass in it.
Can I sign up to receive updates about it? I'm very curious. This could be pretty awesome!
I'm not a simpleton, I'm just not gullible enough to eat arbitrary exotic food reccommended by a big company when everything I need is in stores around me.
Well... if you really wanted to, how much time does one need to push it through?
latest news are that MS is phasing out the forced updates or at least letting all users no matter which edition of windows they are running to postpone updates. this will go live with the next big update 19H1 which should be out in a month.
Was just about to post this. I was looking for my next laptop after I got so frustrated with the direction MacBook Pros we're heading, so I took the plunge and got the high end PixelBook.

I do all my development on it: VSCode, Postgres, docker, node, python, all works great. Importantly, the Crostini project is progressing rapidly and I get new functionality with each new ChromeOS release (e.g. shared files between Linux and ChromeOS, one-button container backup, etc.)
That's exactly why the role of democratic representatives cannot simply be to reflect people's feelings on individual issues.

Representing people is a two way street. It also means for politicians to tell people the truth and to convince them of supporting the right thing having considered all the evidence, trade-offs and shared goals.

Democratic institutions have a lot of resources available to them and a lot of time that the average voter does not have. They should make use of those resources, not lazily ape voters and exploit possibly irrational fears.
Beans and grains are generally pretty cheap and available pretty widely. You can make a lot at a time, and stick it in a tupperware container to later combine/season. Eating beans/grains can also be quite filling.

I personally grow tired of eating such things after a while, but I don't think they are expensive/time-consuming and they do satisfy hunger.

So how is the long-term outlook for Firefox? I believe that the Yahoo deal is (or already has) set to expire, so how will the browser keep afloat financially? I fear Google boxing out Firefox into a small corner of the market somehow.
Or you could use lights and your eyes.. Blindly trusting anything like GPS to guide you through risky situations like that sounds like a good way to ruin your boat.
I'm not up on the newest Perls, but back in the day I wrote a lot of Perl 5. It always felt like having a nice conversation with my computer where I was eventually able to convince it to provide me with what I wanted it to do and sometimes it would just make leaps and figure it out for me or do what I meant.

It's very specifically not a language that works like a finely tuned scientific instrument. It has the messiness of a paintbrush for an impressionist not the scalpel precision of an architect's toolkit.

It has just such a different feel that people who don't come from that mindset won't get it. It's not a superior language, just one that has a different way about it.

Even in a flat system, the productive contribute more. The current system is aggressively progressive, almost all the income taxes are paid by a tiny minority.
The Trader Joe's Black Market Resale Economy
I suspect that this would be good for the economy. I can’t prove it, but I strongly suspect that cap gains deferrals over time are an important component of encouraging asset bubbles. A huge benefit of The benefit of ETFs have been to encourage permanent tax deferral of appreciating stocks through swapping out specific stocks.

On the other hand, as someone in the middle class, i would Really prefer to not lose my capital gains benefits. If we taxed them as normal income, I’d love if they would reduce the effective income tax rate.
this is easily solved by phasing it in over time (stock bought before x year remains under old rules, increase taxes to match ordinary income gradually over a decade)
But is a huge trap to get stuck on try to first define words, like "Simplicity" as if the fact some concepts are hard to define in highly PRECISE terms are a real impediment or block

Simplicity, like love, justice, elegance, etc are hard to define, but EASY to see.

How you know something is "complex"? When is not simple. When you know something is "complicated?", when is not simple, and not even complex.

The fact some concepts are hard to articulate is not a big problem most of time.

What is needed, is to ASK IT. Ask yourself "is this simple?" "no, we think is complicated". Pump! that's all.

You don't need to get lost on definitions to know. You only need to ask.

----

P.D I don't argue against the importance of definitions... and sometimes people are sooooo lost or the project is sooooo messy that actually is necessary to make a mental check to make clear to everybody or ourselves, like @revskill say, to be more precise in what we are talking about. But most of time, is a problem of FAULTY COMMUNICATION not on words!
The ability to pull out your smartcard, have the desktop go away, then plug your smartcard in somewhere else and have your desktop come back was pretty impressive.
It's funny that you mention Warren Buffet, because basically everything he has done to expand capital has been through Berkshire Hathaway, which pays ordinary income tax on investment gains rather than the lower capital gains rate.
I've been on Huel for a few months and find it keeps me full very well. Rice & pea protein with plenty of fiber. I still love good meat, but if I wanted to make sure I stayed full for hours at a time, it would no longer be my first choice.
Nobody said that Chornobyl hit whole continent, but it's because some people sacrificed their lives to stop continent scale disaster[1], not because it was small scale disaster.

Chornobyl operated till 2000s because cheap atom blasted huge hole in budget of Ukraine. They stopped when Ukraine received financial help to close these reactors. Tax payers and international aid covered these expenses and will continue to cover them for next few centuries at least. Closure of single reactor costs significant part of budget of small country. Closure of bunch of reactors can eat whole budget or two.

If one stupid can devastate whole continent, then better to switch to something else, because it doesn't look like we will breed out stupid people in near future.

Creating Git Shortcuts
The title says "study" which is, as you highlight, not really true.

Studies in general assume a certain level of scientific rigour, reproducibility and verifiability.

To further your point, the discussion here is as valuable as the original article: people sharing their individual anecdotal experiences.
It would also make it pointless for a private individual or trust to invest. This is a terrible idea.
Long term a big difference would be your space station being isolated from everyone else. This avoids many bad incentives (like prisoners dilemma / tragedy of the commons).

For now, space is just a good training ground. It is not necessary to build isolated eco systems / livable environments on earth and doing so makes no sense financially. Space enthusiasm is a good tool to push R&D.

On an even longer scale it would certainly provide a diverse range of evolutionary benefits, but that would probably go a far bit off topic.

Math Teacher's Life Summed Up by the Gifted Students He Mentored
From what I've seen and experienced most people doing the hiring are clueless. What's worse is most of them are insane. That is, they keep doing the same but expect different results.

Personally, I still shocked - and am mindful of the red flag - when they don't realize I'm interviewing them as much as they are interviewing me.
That's a valid concern. My inspiration for writing this tool was to create schema diagrams for select tables (hence the -whitelist flag in the tool) rather than _all_ the tables. Think design review, presentation etc instead of exploring a new db. Having some way to dictate what table would be at the top vs. bottom would be nice.

My only fear with that is dbdot becomes bloated with flags and features. If customization of dot can be achieved by piping dbdot output to some other tool, I will explore that path.

Thank you for your feedback :)
> Imagine a 70 year old grandma owning a house in SF... it's price rises 20% in a year, what is she to do? She has no money... the only thing she can do is sell the house! Even worse, what happens when there's a crisis, and house prices fall 20%? You lost more than you gained, and you still owe last year's tax!

I'm... not sure this is right. But! Let's take it at face value for a moment.

A major problem in SF is that folks who are entirely concentrated in housing investments are likely to stymie the building of necessary services and density increases because meeting housing demand tends to make their house cheaper, and investment and essential services might negatively impact property values.

We see these forces at play all over the city. And while it's easy to say, "Oh yeah we totally wanna keep those Mission Grannies in their homes," the reality in SF is that nearly all the homes owned are rented out to said grannies.

> only top 0.1% and like ordinary income is fundamentally incompatible - I agree that capital gains should be taxed like income (and with the tax / offshore assets reforms that the US has done in the past few years, it's uniquely positioned among countries to actually implement such tax), but I see no reason why it shouldn't apply to everybody (same as income tax).

Given that taxation is fundamentally different in its impact between the rich and the poor, it seems like it's reasonable to have the rules differ to be sensitive to it. Even if that is only a transient condition, it is not like we're in a world where the US tax code isn't complicated and this will be the proverbial straw.
Little throwaway bit:

"Nor was it straightforward to resign from his job. When al-Kasim broke the news to his boss in London, “he said: ‘Damn you, Farouk. We were counting on you. Now you are letting us down.’” The top director put pressure on him to stay, but al-Kasim explained that only Norway offered the care his son needed. In the end, his superiors relented. “My immediate boss said: ‘I can’t promise you that you will get a job, but I can say now that we will not stop you getting one.’”

And so no one interfered when Norway’s Ministry of Industry hired al-Kasim as a consultant. His job would be to analyse the North Sea exploration results – at a salary just above that of the prime minister."

That he had to rely on the graciousness of his employer to refrain from blackballing him is still a reality for a lot of professionals.
100% agree. This is more of a wealth tax than a (realized) capital gains tax.

Imagine holding a growth asset like a small tech company and its value goes up 10x before the end of the tax year, prompting a very large taxation. Then shortly after, it crashes down to 2x. You've probably lost money still.

This would have serious implications for private equity firms and other risk-takers.
Lobsters, I’d presume, but it’s invite only
Great point. I think there are some subtle things about Maths in particular and science in general that make it more educational. One is learning to accept and understand things that are at first counter-intuitive. When solving Maths problems I seem to recall that it was often easy to fool myself into a wrong solution due to faulty intuition. Maths trains you to distrust it, dig into problems, use logic and check/test your solution. Furthermore the hard feedback you get helps all the above. Discussing something or writing an essay on a topic which doesn't have a defined answer doesn't seem like a great educational experience even though the activity itself is valuable.
The rarest skill, even in highly intelligent engineers, is to be able to imagine the world after a thing has been changed, and see what will matter to people then.

Everyone else (including you, most likely) can only see the change itself. Is the change pretty? No awareness at all of whether the product after the change is nicer than the present product.

It is a skill that can be developed, but it takes focused attention. The end result is to see how to alter the change to make the end result better to use, not just a thing with another PITA feature.
When all thy mercies, oh my progress...

I think you're a victim of the fallacy of eternal growth thaught for years by capitalist and communist economists alike (and even picked up by most green movements around the globe). If you realize that our consumption is way above it's sustainable limit, the only way to prove that we have really evolved from the barbarism of a pack of wolves is to try everything possible to fold back consumption into this limit.

And since we start crossing some irreversibility thresholds, this means acting now. So we should start cutting consumption and innovate existing technologies so that they become more efficient, instead of increasing consumption and hoping (which roots back to religion – it's kind of interesting that in a time of the decline of classic, philosophical religions, most of the people have adopted blind trust into technology, which does not recognise hardship or offer any consolence in it) for some random technological breakthrough (which would then need years to be adapted on scale – of course we can still search (R&D is not that big of a polluter (except for nukes))). I really would like to see some calculations for "the bigger picture", which show that 5G and the entailing consumption frenzy will bring us nearer to a sustainable society.

Practically for remote-controlled exvacators: why can't you just put a remote control-terminal ontop of the next fibre-"hub"? 5G (or at least the part, where you build small cells with high-frequency-bands) won't be deployed in Alaska anytime soon and this is something which you can easily add on todays infrastructure once you realize that it's actually beneficial. Maybe you should also take a step back on exvacation – with steel and concrete making up about 15% of carbon-dioxide emissions, I doubt that reducing transportation for construction workers (in industrialized countries, I doubt that any construction "worker" in China or Arabia has a car...) has anywhere near the same impact as a 5% reduction in construction.
This is toward the same goal. By standardizing it, browsers would be able to give you a lazy loading preference rather than sites implement their own in script that a browser/user can't override.

It would create many economical forces causing investors to not want to invest in the stock market, eventually causing its demise. Each one has been already described in other comments.

From my (EU citizen) POI, please go ahead. This will help Europe greatly as it's the most rational place to move assets for most Americans, with many great places with great tax and business culture + these are really nice places to live in, actually. That will in turn raise EU wages to the likes of the USA - thanks!

Pusher is a bit more focused than what Now offered with its Serverless docker. You could containerize anything. So if you were putting MySQL or Redis in a container, and your main application depended upon that -- you were up a creek without a paddle.

Pusher does Websockets. It can only be so opinionated, since it's a fairly focused, well-defined problem: Websockets. I'ts less likely to be subject to breaking changes versus Now. I'd say they have both roughly the same chance of randomly shutting down, with only a few months notice.
Why not? My local mexican place does interesting things with cacti, very tasty. If you've ever had sushi you've probably had seaweed..which is part of the algae family.
macOS has terrible native window management, but there are a number of window manager programs that are as good as what's available on Linux. BetterTouchTool is my favorite.
It was the best way for me until most of the sources I used to follow started to only put the description of the post or article and a “read more” link forcing you open a browser to read it. I know most rss clients now have a built-in browser but it was better when you could read the content right in the client without those intrusive ads or layout.

It's sometimes argued that it would amount to double taxation since corporate tax was already paid (on income you "own" being a shareholder).

On the other hand we provide corporations unique legal benefits, from which as a shareholder you benefit, it is reasonable for them to have a unique tax regime.

> We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable.

And it's true. Pirating games has never been as unattractive as it has been today due to Steam's monopoly and ubiquity. TV and Movies on the other hand are getting worse every year, with Netflix focusing on their originals and everybody else doing their own streaming services.
Radiation is not as scary as you've been led to believe. The main long-term dangers from a really bad nuclear accident are Cs 137 and Sr 90. Both of these have half lives of about 30 years. We past the first half life of the Chernobyl fallout.
They also have the added advantage of long shelf-life. ie. tinned beans, dried, etc.

This means you can buy them in bulk = price savings.
Blog 'about' says non partisan. However the author of this article by his past certainly would appear to have bias:

https://itep.org/wamhoff-steve/

"Just before taking on the role of ITEP’s director of federal tax policy, Steve spent more than two years as the senior tax policy analyst for Sen. Bernie Sanders and as a member of the senator’s Budget Committee staff. In this capacity, he wrote legislation related to personal income and corporate income taxes, financial transaction taxes, estate taxes and tax avoidance."

Now before even seeing this I could tell the socialist slant to the writing. For example he says:

"When the value of an asset rises, that increase is income for all practical purposes, but our current laws do not tax this income until the asset is sold. (This untaxed asset appreciation is often called an “unrealized” capital gain.)"

Except it's not 'income' until it's sold. And until it's sold the value can vary either higher or lower. Capital gains applies to a host of things including not only stock but also artwork, real estate, collectibles even 'domain names' being taxed when sold vs. prior. As anyone knows there is no guarantee with any asset sold will bring a certain price in the market.

Note also that if Warren Buffett has '$70 billion net worth' unless he convert that net worth to cash he can't do anything with it. (Not discounting that being a billionaire has other value but that's a separate issue'. If I own an art collection (I don't) and the value of the art collection has appreciate to a value of $50,000,000 the only value of that art is that I can sell some and at that point I will pay taxes on the sale at capital gains rate. Part of the idea of taxing capital gains at a lower rate is to encourage investment in certain ways that leads to a presumably better financial good in the end (even if you are cynical and think there are other motives that doesn't mean that there aren't legitimate reasons for the lower tax rate).
As someone who was living in the UK during the "minidisc era", I can confirm that this is extremely not true. Everyone I knew had a minidisc player, and they were ubiquitous while commuting on the tube.

I think the "it was only a success in Japan" meme is one of those things that people read on the internet and just assume is true because it sounds plausible. In reality they were very popular across Europe, wide parts of Asia, and Australia/NZ (to perhaps a slightly lesser extent) as well.

Anyway the YouTube video above covers all this better than I can.
