That includes the organization in this article, ICC. The majority of ICC’s revenue comes from program services, including consulting, certification, and training, which do not rely on profiting by limiting access to the law. ICC makes a lot of money. Attempting to copyright the law is unnecessary.

I don’t think that oath prevents you from putting zero allowances.

Nothing on the form states that the number of allowances you claim needs to match the worksheet’s results.

The IRS online calculator will explicitly give you different allowances to claim than the worksheet does.

The penalty of perjury would apply if you used a fake SSN or address.
I agree with what you've said about extremities of life experience, and I agree that people fundamentally experience life differently from one another. As an exception among most of my peers, I support the notion that someone hardly exposed to danger could become affected by e.g. PTSD. But that being said, I can assure you that there is nothing that comes close to the experience of combat, and nothing-er still that comes close to experiencing it continuously across years. It's not like being in the same room when grandpa passes away. It's being consumed by human terminality, every conceivable permutation of mortal extreme. Surely you've read about the continual shelling of the trenches, and at least intellectually understood there's a difference. But even then, I'm sure there have been folks who, through their own relative existence and differential experience, have stumbled high on mushrooms on the same tacit wisdoms as those realized by ascetic monks who spend their entire lives on the edge of existential crises. I'm totally sure it happens, but it doesn't happen often. I'm surprised all the time, but just based on his reply, I made an educated guess, which turned out to be right. I don't have children, but I know enough people with kids to understand that having kids flips a bit in the human brain. It's an experience with a tacit component that can't be got by other means, though I'm sure someone's been there somehow that didn't involve creating a child. There are exceptions to every rule, but they are exceptions.
I too would interpret and act within an understanding of the law that since our government has paid a licensing fee to UNIDROIT on behalf of the people that the copy written is freely available to each citizen under fair use. Rent seeking corps and their lobbyists are trying to make that difficult by writing a lot of scary cease and desist letters full of hot air.

This is exactly the thing that frustrates me as an agile developer. The enterprise world is more about the position game than it is about the art of creating value. I'm obviously biased. But I think it's a toxic problem and was very much hoping new style businesses like Google are forcing big enterprises to reinvent themselves.
I at least trust that the things they report on to be accurate.
Superforecasting focuses point forecasting and uses the simplest forecasting methodologies to predict outcomes. Expert-opinion methods are very just one tool for forecasters. But even Tetlock has later demonstrated multiple techniques that improve expert-opinion forecasting accuracy dramatically.

Many similar and more advanced techniques have been used in the military and business for ages. Training exercises , simulations, games, cross-impact analysis, policy capture analysis, scenario methods etc.
I think the author of this piece clearly considers Shenmue one of "their" games. I don't think we're seeing the result of an outsider, but quite the opposite. Someone who has analyzed this game this deeply is clearly enmeshed in it. Rather, I think we're seeing two effects:

1. When someone loves a game, I think they have a tendency to over-estimate how disliked some of the more unusual aspects of it are.

2. When someone loves a game, and they point out that most people don't like some aspect of that game, other people who also love that game group themselves into "most people" and then disagree with the author.

What I think is more important is that whether or not the forklifts were hated is not the point. The author's point is that the forklifts were an integral part of the narrative experience of the game, as they contrasted player experience with that of the main character. Focusing on a throw-away "so-and-so is hated" is silly.
I'm not sure "constructions" are the correct word. Buffalo jumps were generally natural cliffs and the heard was chased over them. The animals were corralled towards the jump by people on foot and by lighting fires, one of the few things that would make buffalo run rather than stand their ground. (Remember, no horses at this time)
A worrying alternative outcome could be that codes are copyrighted, posting them is copyright infringement, but that such non-public codes do not carry the force of law.

I obviously hope this doesn't happen, but it would be a logically consistent outcome. This would then "shatter" the argument into many impractical state-level lawsuits over judgment calls where an AHJ declared something unsafe because it didn't follow the letter of the code (even though it's not actually law), and non-code-buying individuals would each be left fighting uphill battles to prove their work was safe - effectively the shape of the Meyer reference I posted above.

I have seen those exact words to describe Netlify - it's like Geocities, but for the modern web. I have yet to try it out for myself, but I'm thinking I may use it to get a personal site up and running since I have a tendency to take the power of running my own site on my own VPS a bit too far by changing it up (and usually breaking it) frequently...
Perhaps in hardware?
the increase of electricity cost was because of 20 years of high subsidy of renewables. The 20 years are ending soon (1-2 years) for the first who got those subsidies in the year 2000. Gradually electricity cost should become cheaper again, as the subsidy has become low enough (maybe in 10-15 years).

Improvments in renewable technology should make renewable energy cost effective even without subsidy (at least the newer ones).

The conspiracy theorist in me would suspect that Huawei cloned or inherited existing backdoors from Cisco, Intel, Qualcomm code/tech they acquired. (not that they would necessarily be related to this news story.)

If the US security sector blew the lid on the backdoors, they would also be exposing their own backdoors, thus all they can do is generate FUD towards Huawei, and hope that they never need to present evidence.
FaunaDB looks like a great product for a serverless/SPA type app but I don't see how they are integrated with netlify other than they fit together well?
I think many people who aren’t as tech savvy wouldn’t think about doing this. Even if they assumed it could be fixed (which many probably didn’t), in a state of heightened emotions (of embarrassment, fear of possibly breaking the law), many people would try their best to comply with the instructions.
I believe this is because you may be required to enter it on a phone using the dial pad. This also means it’s secretly just 6 single digit numbers.

I'm blaming Trump for continuing and amplifying the policy's negative effects. Hundreds of families have been separated by border enforcement without any records[1]. Children are being taken from their mothers and fathers and forcibly adopted via agencies run by white evangelical churches[2]. You're trying to deflect from the actual, unprecedented harm being caused now to people on the border by pointing at history.

Even the fact underlying your basic premise is wrong: Republicans had the majority in both houses of congress in January 3, 2015[3], gaining the Senate after having held the House since January 3, 2011. They continued to hold both in majority until the past midterm elections seated a Democratic house majority this January.

The New Yorker is indeed pretty solid, but it's funny that that's the standard because - as you say - it's still not quite as good as most "reader modes." The margins contain ads and I feel like I'm seeing "suggested articles" (aka pictures of AOC) every 5 minutes - which is a lot of AOC since some of the articles take up to an hour.
> Memory is a difficult one, especially in garbage-collected languages which have a habit of filling up the heap even when it's not used, so it's not always obvious how much memory is actually being used without having language/runtime specific signals.

I'm not sure what do you mean here, Cloud Run uses Docker which runs regular processes in a cgroup, so it's sufficient to check the cgroup memory usage, right? Yes, Java can always use large heaps but we're running Python and C++ where a process' memory usage directly relates to what a program allocates (even PyPy with GC has this property).

> The mitigation in Cloud Run is both concurrency, and that you're only billed while a request is active.

When there are memory peaks, larger deployments without container-level concurreny look better. For my example 16GB of RAM allows running 8 containers to get a chance for a 2GB task to complete, but on average 90% of the memory will be wasted. On a single 16GB server I can run 48 tasks with 40% wasted and a high chance of the 2GB tasks finishing. Yes, in this scenario I must handle tasks killed due to OOM but the difference in throughput is so large that it's worth it.
The alternative is having your domain shut down for “sensitive” content in pretty much any country outside of the US and Canada.

It's an interesting phenomenon with Protoss, certain players are highly strategic like sOs, herO, and Classic. Part of that is the tri-partite tech structure, you go from cyber core to 3 different techs, and scouting which 1 or 2 it is is HUGE for opponents, thus the hiding/masking. Compare that to Terran, who will not have a Starport without a Factory, or Zerg, who is by its nature the least gimmicky race IMO.

You might want to check out some Brood War, it has its gimmicky strats but IMO it's less strategic than SC2...there is more "counter-play" with a "countered" unit composition/strat, especially if your early-game micro with workers and low unit counts is top notch. I'll link a great match from recently, hope you enjoy :)

Another possibility is for the states to publish the codes on their web sites, then the state would pay the copyright holder (out of their state budgets) for each person that accesses the code. Full copyright would still be in force, and per copy royalties would still be sent to the rights holder, yet free access is still available to those who the law applies to.

Something to consider regarding longevity expectations for things like capacitors would be the input tolerances they're designed for. In many cases the capacitors that fail don't fail because they have reached the end of their physical life. Instead the manufacturer chose a component that could only handle the lowest nominal load not accounting for things spikes in electrical input due to normal power system anomalies.

A number of years ago I pulled an otherwise perfectly good Samsung 46" TV out of the dumpster. While researching how to fix it I found that if they had simply installed higher rated capacitors to begin with, the TV would not have stopped working.

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...?

Actually I'd rather we avoid the whole pointless whataboutism exercise if we can.

Again, it's not either or. The originating comment was claiming that some of the news about Huawei is being driven by very different motivations (I think it was trade war fallout), and being stated in disingenuous ways. And yes, there seems a lot of pearl clutching going on right now about vaguely defined Chinese technology threats. As well as some very real concerns about Nation-state actors in this space, China in particular. That seems worth at least questioning.

What I am saying is that it is perfectly consistent to hold the mixture of views that the Chinese government is doing some really bad things with privacy and personal data, that the US government also does some really bad things with privacy and personal data (though not nearly as many as Chinese govt) and that some of what is being propagated in the media currently against companies like Huawei has very little to do with these things but rather is based more on domestic economic interests.

I think it's fair to call that last part out, without it devolving into a bunch of whataboutism on the former.

Agree that particular poster could have worded things better, but they had a (valid, I think) point.

That applies to your personal information, and your answer to Question 7 (if you are exempt from withholding entirely), which is the only affirmative statements you make on the form.

Lines 5 and 6 are choices the taxpayer makes based on their expected level of withholding. The worksheet is not submitted, and not completed under penalty of perjury.

You can absolutely over-withhold and just put zero. The IRS has zero issue with that whatsoever.
Update that no one will read: I went to recycle the old power supply board today and shocked myself twice, then I "petted" it with a strip of aluminum foil and got a really good CRACK out of one of the capacitor banks. So that's more than a week after it was unplugged. I thought those electrolytics would leak faster.
That kinda sucks. I was recently approached by two Google employees, one of them said he likes my projects on GitHub, that I'm Google material and if I would like for him to refer me to a job there.

I'm 34 and going to college for 2nd time, graduating this year. Maybe this isn't my case, but I can't help to wonder.
The reason Microsoft's online music service shut down, was because it had recurring licensing costs that weren't sustainable based on the amount of business it did. The eBook model is much closer to how apps are sold, it cost them near nothing, and as it is integrated with the Windows Store platform which remains for selling apps. They have no need to shut down their eBook service, if not for the fact that they are eliminating the only way to read their eBooks.

Bear in mind, even when they shut down music, they didn't buy back everyone's music, because people could play their MP3s still with the desktop player or even alternative music players, whereas Microsoft's EPUBs use at the least their own licensing system, since they changed the file format to MSEPUB and have a separate license file for each. The only player is Edge, and Edge as it has been is going away.

While we don't know the extent of Microsoft's eBook sales to begin with, a full refund since the launch of service is generally the sort of thing you don't do unless there's no other option. If they had intention to continue eBook support, they'd surely have chosen to fast track EPUB support in Edgium instead.

The doublethink is not about being concerned about China vs US spying. Its that every local privilege escalation by any other company is reported as incompetence or an unavoidable mistake. But when Huawei has one everyone assumes its malicious.
