I don't think that in the best of terms the UK not being part of the EU would be beneficial to the UK - the way Brexit is happening is definitely going to hoop them though. They are taking an antagonistic stance against all their major trading partners and to continue to do business with them they'll end up needing to follow those regulations anyways.

I am unaware of major cases of regulatory capture in the EU governance and most regulation proceeding this has been well intentioned - if the cookie banner is annoying then tell your the site to stop tracking you.

From the conclusion:

"Performance does suffer for nontrivial programs, because the compiler will not understand the algebraic structure of the custom functions, and so will not perform important structural optimisations."

I wonder what it would take for the compiler to understand this algebraic structure? Is this something feasible with more developer resources?

Here's the CTS for Android 7.0 https://source.android.com/compatibility/7.0/android-7.0-cdd...

"When the device implementation supports a secure lock screen it MUST back up the keystore implementation with secure hardware and meet following requirements:
MUST have hardware backed implementations of RSA, AES, ECDSA and HMAC cryptographic algorithms and MD5, SHA1, SHA-2 Family hash functions to properly support the Android Keystore system's supported algorithms.
MUST perform the lock screen authentication in the secure hardware and only when successful allow the authentication-bound keys to be used. The upstream Android Open Source Project provides the Gatekeeper Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) that can be used to satisfy this requirement.

The emergence of these extinct human species from the fossil record raises a nagging question: what happened to them all?

Across the animal kingdom, single-species genera are somewhat uncommon. Why is there only one species of the genus Homo?

A related question. The extinction of the last surviving non-Sapiens coincides more or less with the retreat of the last glaciation period and the emergence of human civilization (see the chart midway into the linked article). These events also seem to have happened about the same time as the extinction of certain large land mammals such as the saber-tooth tiger and woolly mammoth.

Are these extinctions, large land mammals and species of Homo, connected in some way with the retreat of glaciers and/or the emergence of human civilization?

These questions are asked (but not really answered) in the first part of the book Sapiens.

Doesn’t slower, better news conflict with how news is primarily funded today i.e. advertising? Tabloid news has existed much longer than I’ve been alive, and their style (attention-grabbing, exaggerated titles) matches the kinds of ads they display. A newspaper on a slower circulation cycle would need to attract advertisers that market on similar cycle if the newspaper is dependent on ad revenue (e.g. month-long offers).

A subscription-only / patron-only news service makes sense for the typical customer of a Bloomberg terminal, but what about everyone else? Do they just pay for headlines or three-sentence summaries?

You might say that most people don’t need that frequency of news, and for most topics I would agree. However, there are topics like sports that create news on such a frequent basis, and topics like politics where one could argue that being accurately informed in a timely manner is a responsibility and a necessity for a well-functioning democracy.

Tl;dr I don’t think you can separate the news from the manner in which it is funded, and the issues in quality and business-viability that we’ve heard a lot about is evidence for it.

To clarify, my point isn't "open source good, closed source bad", nor that things get open sourced primarily for ethical reasons.

With copyleft, the basic principle wrt code reuse and sharing is "take what you need, contribute back the value added", and it is encoded in the license itself. With non-copyleft licenses like MIT, the only thing that's encoded is "take what you need" - but I would argue that there's also an implied "... contribute back what you can", that is broadly respected in practice, and is an important part of what makes the model sustainable.

I remember what the industry was like when the biggest bar to shipping open source in for-profit environments was the default attitude of "why even bother?", and in practice that meant a lot less of it all around, even where not having the code made life much more difficult for others. This attitude took a lot of collective time and effort across the entire industry to change, in many cases by individual employees inside those FOSS-hostile environments actively working towards that goal for altruistic reasons. In the end, I think we're all better off for it - individual devs and companies alike - and should strive to maintain those gains, and the culture that enables them. Arguing for closed source by default is contrary to that, in my opinion. Closed source itself is not.
That’ll depend on how or if they daisy chained the phone jacks. You should be able to get at least one Ethernet connection (two ends) but beyond that you might have to get creative.

If you put your modem at the same jack where the first tee in the line is, you should be able to get at least two connections, but for more than that you may need a switch at each tee.

Not shooting in place anybody who speaks against the government can be said to "enable" a lot of bad things too. Hitler spoke against contemporary government, so if he had been shot there and then, nothing afterwards would happen. I hope you can see how fallacious such argument is.

The reality is, contemporary German government was not shy at all at suppressing freedoms. They had special exception in their Constitution to do just that when the government needs. But they were more afraid of Communists than they were of Nazis, so they gave the suppression machine to Nazis to fix the things. The conclusion from this fail should be "don't build suppression machine out of government", not "give it to Communists instead next time, maybe it'll work better".

mmm, as far as I know $3,000/year is the maximum capital loss (from schedule D) that you can claim against your income. But that has nothing to do with your AMT tax credit, which you should have generated the year you exercised ISOs (form 8801).

The AMT tax credit you can use every year should be limited to the difference between your regular income tax and AMT income tax each and every year (if positive). You keep going like this until you extinguish it.

For example, for tax year 2018 I had ~$10,000 of capital loss carryover (from unrelated stock sale), and ~$40,000 of AMT tax credit carryover (from previous ISOs).

When I filed my taxes, I was able to claim $3,000 of those capital losses against my income (thus generating a $7,000 capital loss carryover for 2019) and $5,500 AMT tax credit to offset my final tax liability (thus generating $34,500 of AMT tax credit carryover for 2019). As you can see, I used both the capital loss carryover AND the AMT tax credit, they're two different beasts.

I didn't use any CPA and did all of this by myself (+ TurboTax) since it seemed straightforward (and admittedly I might have studied a bit too much how taxation of stock options works). If you find that I'm horribly wrong, please let me know, but it's not the first time I find a CPA being not informed in this kind of stuff (not saying yours is), which can be costly since, if you don't claim the credit in a timely fashion, is just lost from an IRS point of view (the forms are pretty mechanic and always refer to "last year carryover").

In particular, I don't understand how your company going belly up can generate capital loss for you, since you said you had an exercise price of $0.01 per share, so it seemed to me the money you lost was because of the AMT, hence the $3,000/year limitation is like apple and oranges and definitely not a ceiling of how much you can claim each year on the AMT credit.
The exact same argument could be applied to pretty much any right. It certainly applies to, say, freedom of religion—religion is historically dangerous in exactly the same way as speech, and different societies restrict religion to different extents.

And yet, if you seriously brought that argument forth, I suspect people would be more disgusted than if you applied it to freedom of speech. What makes religion so much more important than speech? The main difference I can think of is that freedom of speech is primarily a more individualistic kind of right, while religion is inherently more collectivist.

The out of Africa theory is overwhelmingly supported by genetic evidence. A multi-origin hypothesis is basically impossible to support at this point.

What is now happening is that the out of Africa theory is absorbing new facts:

- How many different migrations of homo sapiens out of Africa have there been? (probably several)

- Did any groups who spent time in Europe migrate back to Africa and contribute new genes to the African gene pool (likely)

- Did homo sapiens who left Africa encounter and breed with other hominin species? (definitely, and those other species also originated in Africa)

David Reich's book from last year, "Who We Are and How We Got Here", covers a lot of the recent discoveries.
GHC Haskell offers in-source rewrite rules, which can be used to get this sort of deforestation optimisation: https://wiki.haskell.org/GHC/Using_rules

Rust iterators (including the parallel ones in the Rayon library) and C++ ranges are explicitly lazy without being connected to some in-memory structure and so "automatically" have this optimisation (different to Haskell's [a] list type).

Or stuff intended to trigger discussions of political type stuff:

A commonality in AF 447 and the two MAX cases: angle of attack is not displayed to the pilots.

A substantial difference between them, is automation had totally checked out in the 447 case, whereas in the MAX cases automation took action contrary to reality.

I let the engineers argue over redundancy. As a pilot I think it's a factor, but far less so than the pilots being denied knowing their airplane.

447 pilots had not undertaken any in-flight training, at high altitude, for the “vol avec IAS douteuse” procedure or on manual aeroplane handling; while the MAX pilots had no training expressly on MCAS upset so they could experience the exact consequences of ensuing mistrim, the difficulty of solving that mistrim at low altitude, and the aggressiveness of MCAS in any subsequent nose down. MAX pilots are additionally denied knowing about the true pitch up tendency in high angles of attack without the benefit of MCAS (either it wrongly thinks AOA is OK, or stab trim is cutout).

The Ethiopian Airlines pilots had the situation progressing toward stability. They had (apparently) re-enabled electric trim to give them enough authority to reset the trim, and had a sane attitude. But then within seconds they lost their chance as MCAS took incredibly aggressive action that put them in an unrecoverable 40 degree nose down attitude.

There really is no substitute for training. I don't accept that the "fix" for the MAX is a software update alone. Simulators must be capable of showing various kinds of MCAS working, not working, and perturbed (erroneous sensor input) cases, at various phases of flight. All the excuses to avoid training are bullshit.
Thank you, that was very interesting to read through and is a possible avenue to pitch this idea too. Cheers!
