Where you must have at least an allowance of 1, for yourself. And why would you want fewer allowances? That results in more withholding, which is an interest free loan to the government.

You can claim a withholding exemption only if last year's tax liability was zero, and if you expect this year's tax liability will be zero.

I think its totally acceptable for the states to adopt codes written by an independent organization, as long as in the end, people subject to the codes can access them without restriction.

I think the grandparent is right, the only viable business model is for states to pay a license to incorporate the codes into the law. We'd need to rewrite copyright law somewhat for that to work, because the code-writing agency needs to retain the ability to sell a license to more than one state, and sell a license for updates to the code, and to stop other people from making derivative works and trying to sell those to the states.

This isn't really true. In fact, my understanding is that the text wholly prohibits relying solely on an automated system, as opposed to human appeals and moderators. An appeal process is required to protect your ability to upload content that you have the right to upload, YouTube would no longer be able to arbitrarily punish you with no way of contesting their decision.

It might be financially challenging for large, abusive platforms which are heavily built on pirating copyrighted content, but it shouldn't be much of a challenge for ordinary websites, blogs, and smaller sharing platforms. Consider that a personal website may have the site owner bother to moderate the comments manually. A small business may have to hire a moderator or two. YouTube may need to hire 10,000 people and may have problems.
It's somewhat rational to do this, because when you're a 20-something fresh out of college your biggest challenge is differentiating yourself from all the other 20-somethings fresh out of college and showing that you might actually have some technical skills worth hiring you for. One way to do this is brash confidence bordering on arrogance; as annoying as it is, it seems to be more effective than meekly sending out job applications and hoping some company bites. Another way is to latch onto the things you do know and play them up for attention.

When you've got a few years of experience your career progression speaks for itself (hopefully). You're differentiated because of the sequence of jobs you've held, and you can prove you can ship things because you have shipped things. 20-somethings usually don't have those luxuries.

Copyright doesnt always mean no-one else has rights to it.

The idea of copyrighting a publication of legal statutes or codes could have some good, but the idea of obstructing the publics access to regulations, laws, or codes, and then somwhere down the line this problem goes away in exchange for money, is absolute despotic kruft.

so finacially challenged people have impaired opportunity to understand the law, its already an issue when there are mainly online disseminations of statues, and no physical text in easy reach. The technically challenged people have no access to the text of law in digital form, furthermore there is an issue with privacy that could come about.
No-one should have to Pay, login, sign up or give PII in exchange for access to text of legal statutes, something that is public property and derived from public monies remitted to an elected government acting within its bounds of authority.

Worth bearing in mind, however, that this is a deliberate decision stemming from the founding of the ECSC – the goal being to make sure that votes in smaller member states have additional political power to help offset the de facto greater economic and soft power of larger states.

Like all of these things, it's a bit of a fudge and it's reasonable to ask if it's the right approach – but it's not an accidental outcome.

I don't blame the OS guys. Python has been around for 30 years and many distros built a lot of their utilities around Python 2. Getting rid of Python 2 sounds like a Herculean effort that could only start after Python 3 settled down and required libraries were ported over (or replacement libraries written using more modern conventions).

I'm glad we seem to be past the big inflection point and hope to put Python 2 behind us. But I can see never changing `python` from Python 2 (just not have one when Python 2 isn't installed).
When would you use Cloud Run vs App Engine Flex?

Doesn't App Engine Flex essentially help you run an app in a container and handle scaling too?

For example, what if you're running a stateless JVM app like something on Play Framework. Could you run it on either App Engine Flex or Cloud Run, and if so, what considerations would there be for choosing one over the other?
My question is: how temporary is happiness? Is it an emotion or a personality trait or a mixture of the two?

Considering some hypotheticals: Is it possible to both be living your best 10/10 life and be unhappy at times? Is it possible to be living your worst 0/10 life and be happy at times?

If happiness is an emotion, then it is by its nature fleeting and you couldn't maintain a 10/10 or 0/10 happiness as your biochemistry/environment changes constantly, indeed much faster than you'd change the ladder-steps of Cantril. If happiness is more of a personality trait, a semi-permanent descriptor, then it seems more closely associated with the Cantril ladder and life satisfaction.

Personally, I believe happiness results from genetic, short, and long term causes. Every person has a genetic baseline happiness proclivity, then a medium-term multiplier based on their life circumstances (job, relationships, meaning, etc), then a short-term mood-multiplier (I'm happier exercising, playing music, etc. than sitting in traffic or filing paperwork).

Guys, this is very serious. I have a good income but I had a terrible FICO as a result of some late payments and evictions, this made it impossible for me to afford certain things so I needed my credit fixed. I read about XAP CREDIT SOLUTION on various review sites through google, I texted them via (972) 597 9704, and they increased my score to 795, they also added some positive tradelines to my profile. I’m glad that finally there is a way to beat the system. Email them via XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM. XAP is definitely the answers to our prayers. Don’t just sit there take action today!!!

I don't understand. You either think it's legitimate to call out bad behavior (US or Chinese) or you think doing so is disingenuous pearl-clutching. Is it only pearl-clutching when it's about the far worse behavior of the Chinese gov't? Or are you advocating for a constant apologizing for US misdeeds any time another countries' misdeeds are raised, even if that other countries' are far worse...?
> Using more than one (Java, Python,...) and generating multiple flavours of the book could be a good idea I think.

I agree, one should distinguish the experimental confirmation from theoretical predictions.

Simultaneously, the "it's just a theory"-flavor rhetoric is tiresome and small-minded.

The basic theories (GR, QM) have been experimentally verified with exquisite accuracy. Theories produced with those axioms as a foundation inherit the incredible effort that has been put into verifying the underlying rules.

Experimental results showing that the predictions of such a theory are wrong would be a HUGE deal. That does not indicate a problem with the theory, as much of a fundamental gap in our knowledge of how the universe works.

But sure, whatever, it's just a theory

Edit: clarification, this only applies to theories that only take as axioms the _fundamentals_. No approximations.

Ok granted China is light years behind the US, but we also have some crazy stories.

A Dakota Pipeline Protests journalist was stopped at the US border, "raising press freedom alarms."(1) Laura Poitras, Greenwald, Ladar Levison have been obviously victims of ill will from US authorities. Of course, don't forget the "get Gary Webb team" of industry experts the CIA watched over, which set out to "we're going to take away his Pulitzer."(2) Non-radical political parties are swat raided, intimidated, and silenced by secret courts in the US(3).

Of course this is just the start to a very long list. But comments which suggest everything is fine in this regard really worry me, as someone who loves America and its values.

> And why would you want fewer allowances?

Because you have investment income that is otherwise untaxed. I know someone who put 0 and still owed money at the end of the year, but didn't have to make quarterly payments. She had enough investment income to owe, but not enough to hit penalty levels of owing.
Isn't "creative" kind of like doing something new, and AI - at least the kind I've been messing with like tensorflow, kind of like training from existing examples and unable to adapt to never before seen data. Aren't they kind of at direct odds? If AI takes over creative tasks like producing art work, won't original creative works become even more valuable and just create a massive boom for creatives and somewhat eclipse the AI created generic junk?
It certainly helps to make it easier to start businesses. I think it's a great idea, but even in the most optimistic scenario though it is a fractional (but worthwhile!) solution. Reducing bureaucratic burden and improving access to capital can make a real difference though.
I don't really think the choice of language matters that much.

In this particular case, the conversation you want happened over a century ago when economists figured out that automation tends to create (and enable the creation of) more jobs than it permanently removes. Economists figured out that the idea of the lump of labor is possessed of bountiful opportunities to come into greater alignment with observed reality. The whole industrial revolution involved a lot of people who shared your fears - that their jobs would be permanently removed by automation!

And you know what? They were right! Their jobs were permanently removed by automation. It's just that the story didn't end there, and the jobs created and enabled by automation far outstripped the jobs removed.

It might be worth considering that government intervention might not always be the solution. Choosing not to act is always an option, and is always worth considering. The first question should not be "How can we solve this problem with policy?", but instead should be "Should we solve this problem with policy?".

One reason I've used 0 in the past is to allow for multiple income sources (e.g., an employee at one company and a self-employed side project). The worksheet allows for negative offsets to be added into the final deduction count recorded. It avoids the need to deal with quarterlies if the withholding amounts are close enough.

If that is not the case, that is a bug and I would like to know about it.

> Where you must have at least an allowance of 1, for yourself. And why would you want fewer allowances? That results in more withholding, which is an interest free loan to the government.

If you have other income that's not easy to setup withholding on (such as stock related income, a home sale, or rental income), it can be useful to have more withholding from employment income. A benefit is that you are allowed to pretend withholding is evenly distributed over the year, even if it's not, or if it's more beneficial, you can use the actual timeline for withholding, although that takes a lot more effort.
So uh...I don't know how to put this in a way that might not come off as hurtful, but I'm gonna try.

Do you somehow not look at this sort of massive data mining, this sort of optimization for psychological assault upon people ill-equipped to defend themselves--and this is effectively a given, because the systems you are building are designed to exploit their brains and will by design optimize for maximal exploitation 'cause that's what makes your KPIs bigger--and ask whether this is a good idea?

Do you want to be downstream of this psychological onslaught?

Doesn't this horrify you?

Isn't there something better--for yourself, and for the world at large--that you could be doing with such obvious talent?
>The double-think of the rhetoric against Huawei is staggering considering US programs like Prism were state-mandated data collection at a massive scale against private citizens and a secret courts program to access private sector companies data on those same citizens.

It doesn't have to be doublethink. Even if the US gathers intelligence in ways that make one uncomfortable, China doing it to US citizens makes one _more_ uncomfortable.

In other words, the US doing it doesn't make China doing it any better.

If I'm running a company, I don't want Chinese spies backdooring my equipment, regardless if the NSA is effectively doing the same thing. At least the NSA isn't going to steal my data and give it to foreign business competitors.
