FWIW, if you go to McDonald's in some foreign countries you will be in for a shock as they serve many region-specific items. (Though in Paris, it's a pleasant shock, it's mostly the same but all of the food is better/healthier.)

Source: Yes, I traveled to the capital of a country known explicitly for it's exquisite food and did patronize a McDonald's.
There are a lot of very good reasons to tax capital gains at lower rates than ordinary income. Among them:

- The problem of notational vs real gains
- The fact that capital gains are already taxed once at the corporate level
- The fact that taxing capital gains is a tax on savings and we want to encourage savings and investment
- All of the theory on how differentiated taxes on present vs future consumption is a flawed idea
(see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_capital_income_taxation)

Note that it's not just in the US that capital gains are taxed at a lower rate but in virtually all other modern economies. It's not just some trick.
Tax software would make for a terrible open source project because of the intersection of domain expertise: to do it right you need CPAs and tax lawyers. To do that right, you have to pay them (because there's no "open source" equivalent of a trained and certified CPA or lawyer). If you are paying domain experts, why shouldn't you also be paying software developers? Building a business plan for something like tax software is already hard enough, especially with such entrenched players already, but building a business plan for something like tax software that is also open source is extreme hard mode.
The point is that people want to use the parks when it’s sunny. So they do. And it’s hideous.

I don’t care if it’s empty when it’s raining, there’s a reason why that’s the case.

From the format point of view, it's also easier to write lots of maths in a consistent way in latex than word. Similar to: you can paint in excel, but it's uncommon enough that you'd become known for painting in excel. (Tatsuo Horiuchi) Or programming using Notepad. Ignoring what most people see as an improvement in tooling area can be easily used as one of indicators.
Most of the levers available to eliminate public tuition can also be leveraged to restrain private tuition. It's not like expensive private schools don't lean heavily on the feds for funding, both student and research.
My wife teaches english, but computers and internet are a big part of the reason that any kids are here in the first place. We aren't a licensed school (getting licensed requires bribes and a lot of bullshit) so we focus on pre-1st grade (theer's no state preschool or kindergarden) and after school programs for older kids. Because of this, we need to attract kids, and computers are a good draw.
Isn't the "millions of miles of free data" the edge cases? Yes, they're not literally streaming back everything but they have millions of miles with people driving auto-pilot and sending back a significant amount of edge case scenarios, which is the truly valuable information. Sending back data of "successful auto-pilot" can be sending back 10 hours of driving on a straight two-lane road; which seems quite useless.

They also have cars all over the planet while Waymo seems to only be tested in a few cities. I can't find the podcast, but Elon mentioned how one of the main difficulties is the varying types of intersections. There are only so many intersections in Mountain View. But Tesla is getting data for all kinds of intersections.
> College attendance is not about learning specific topics in order to pass an exam, IMO. It's about learning to think critically, work in project teams, evaluate superfluous and incomplete data, learning how to learn, learning time and priority management, interpersonal relationships, etc.

My take on that is that by having a bunch of different exam passes, that is what you demonstrate. You're not going to pass a bunch of math and physics or whatever classes without having at least some degree of personal organisation and commitment. And you'll certainly learn overarching things like critical thinking by learning a bunch of different topics.

I went to Oxford, where you ostensibly learn by sitting in tiny little classes of 1 or 2 kids with a prof three times a week. You discuss the topic at hand and they evaluate whether you understood anything. They'll probe whether you understood things properly or just recited what you read. And you get to ask the prof whatever you want.

But at the end of it all, everything simply depended on taking a bunch of sit-for-three-hours exams.

Not at all. To say "we don't know" might mean that we don't know the order of magnitude. Order of magnitude estimates to the first or second decimal place are oftentimes more than enough to hone in on a solution. In this case the two orders of magnitude set a clear bound (assuming the capacity estimate are accurate) for the near future at the high end and provide a warning sign for the present.
Whose law? In the U.S. there's a term called "party" for whoever's suing or being sued. It can be a person or a combination of parties. Three people can be sued without collectively being a human being.

Also in the U.S., the controversy about corporations being persons has to do with selectively granting them constitutional rights, not about their identity as human beings.
Wow. This could still be said today. I wonder what it is about that city.
But people tend to get used to the environments they grow in. So if you had low access to water, you end up learning to shower only once in a while, and you take it as something natural. Like the cliche (racist cliche?) of people in America complaining about people from Europe or Asia having a more apparent body odor. This also reminds me of the movie (or books) Dune. Where people from Arrakis are used to drinking very little water, and deem people from other planets as "fat on water" because they can even smell their "excess" off water on their bodies, and see it as a sign of wastefulness.
Do you realize how far you have moved the goalposts during this conversation? You started out with the suggestion that they "fully disable autonomy in September and enable it again in late April" and now you are talking about situations with "the wrong initial temp when you enter a blizzard".

I will simply refer back to my initial comment in this thread: "there is going to be a decent amount of time between when a self driving car can handle most scenarios and when it can handle all possible scenarios". Blizzards are not in the "most scenarios" group. Barring emergencies, no one should be driving in a blizzard let alone an autonomous car.

> This is philosophical drivel that has only the effect of making politicians seem like they care about the environment.

That, or it's a clever hack that that brings many existing aspects of the legal system to bear in interesting ways.

For example, I'm guessing that the river being a legal person would imply that it cannot be owned, neither in whole nor in part, by any other person. It sounds like the law also provides for some other things that legal persons typically have, such as a panel of one or more humans to serve as its representative. And that panel of humans would probably then have the ability to do things like pursue litigation on its behalf.

Note that this isn't a particularly new hack, either. Basically the same thing has been done with things that are even more nebulous than a river, such as trusts and corporations, for centuries. The most unprecedented aspect is the idea that you could use this bit of semantic sleight-of-hand for a purpose other than making money.
I can't answer if the receiver should feel as if the letter should be written from the heart or not... but I think some businesses are interested in sending nice handwritten letters. I see people in jewelry and fashion industries interested in sending these crafted handwritten letters to their clients as a thank you note, etc. It seems like they value their packaging. I am still learning why some of my clients are interested in this product myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . My conclusion is that they want to stand out.
I've been there, worked with people there, have friends there building businesses for decades. Have you been out there?

Companies are allowed to operate and grow, but they are tightly controlled. Apple has strong competition and has already trimmed prices and revenue targets. China just purchased 300 planes from Airbus instead of Boeing. McDonalds sold off 80% of its China operations to a Chinese stated-owned company years ago because it had trouble adapting its menu. KFC in China is owned by Yum China and headquartered in Shanghai.

The world is not some free-market paradise. Territorial rules are everywhere. You'll encounter them just to do business in local counties within a state like New York. China's government has incredible power and control and has far more impact than you might think.

It all depends on the countries. FWIW, in my experience outside of US and other First World countries, "iPad" for "tablet" is by far the most common, and "iPhone" for "smartphone" is also pretty common. This is more typical of the older (roughly 50+) generation though.

I searched for one of the unique tokens in the docs: https://www.google.com/search?q=0facda3319

That pulls up their SDK github repo: https://github.com/smartcar/node-sdk/blob/master/doc/readme....

Which is published with a standard MIT license: https://github.com/smartcar/node-sdk/blob/master/LICENSE.md

Which says (among other things): "Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software."

Which may have significantly complicated their copyright claim if Otonomo includes the MIT license and attribution to smartcar.. At the same time, I can't find Otonomo's docs anywhere.

Something to think about when setting up your GitHub license!
I'm grateful, as an American, that we have access to so many different cultures and cuisines. It's the one thing I missed sorely when I was travelling across Europe.

You're right on the label though, Italian American =/= Italian in the same vein that Chipotle/Taco Bell isn't Mexican. However, there are plenty of institutions in the states that do nail a more purist experience of Mexican or Italian or what have you.

Another example: when you're done filing, TurboTax offers you the option to pay your taxes via credit card -- e.g. if you want points/miles -- for a fee of 2.49% (or more, haven't checked recently) The verbiage seems like it's the only way to pay via credit card if you filed via TurboTax.

However it's not true. You can file via TurboTax without paying. Then directly go to the 3-4 IRS authorized payment providers who will let you pay via card for less.

> I'm hoping a little more exposure to electrical systems will help.

I'll give you a nugget that I think is correct.

The radiation efficiency is determined by the cross product of the electrostatic and magnetic fields the electrons are exposed to. No cross product no radiation. AKA why most circuits don't radiate very well.

A dipole is a resonator that generates a large electrical and magnetic cross product. Because it resonates the energy stored/flowing through it is many times the energy being pumped into it.

Lots of things effect the resonance peak of a physical resonator. That's the difference between theoretical antenna's and physical one.

I can imagine the "Kickstarter scam" running in the VC scene, the Kickstarter scam being: you show ads for a product on Kickstarter with the line "300 thousand dollars in backers already! Get yours too!", but that money isn't from genuine backers, coming from your friends instead. Then a chump seeing the ad will think "Oh, this new gadget is popular, it must be good, let me buy 1 for the introductory price!" and gives you his money. Then you just keep the chumps updated with "Sorry for the delays, we have manufacturing difficulties" month after month.

So in the VC scene, you could get your friend to invest in your idea for $$$, get other investors interested, and... profit? I can imagine it'd be nice to spend the genuine VC money on company Lamborghinis and penthouses for a few months, declare bankruptcy, rinse and repeat (just steal the API from the next "Smartcar"...).
I'm not quite sure what your premise is: whether giving a river personhood is novel or not novel in Anglo law. But FWIW granting inanimate things a legal personality (with rights and even duties!) has a long history not only in English Common Law but also the Western legal tradition back to the Ancient Greeks.[1] I doubt the practice is confined to the Western legal tradition as it has immense practical utility and is an obvious hack to most any legal system.

> These are some of the nicest restaurants the average citizen can hope to afford to go to more than once in their lifetime.

This is almost undoubtedly untrue.

There are many independent or local restaurants in most regions that cost the same (or less) than the chains you mention. Ethnic restaurants frequently deliver more bang for the buck. In all of these non-chain categories there are “nicer” options that deliver a better atmosphere, food, wine, whatever the citizen in question is looking for.

As for the chains, they should have at least one thing to offer: consistency. No one is faulting folks for having a guilty pleasure, or working a chain into their routine when they’re looking for a known quantity meal.

But some people never break out of the mundane that consistency brings. The types who are too afraid to try things because they’re supposedly “fancy.” Or because they don’t look like they 2nd generation immigrants who run the restaurant down the road. The kind of folks who go to a Buca in Honolulu or Applebee’s in Times Square; those places are expensive as shit, and living a life like that is truly terrible.

Facebook.

I use it as a blog that targets people who live in my geographical area and are likely to know me.

It's full of problems. It ruthlessly violates privacy, it's slow and a memory hog. It's designed to be addictive. It rewards and spreads unpopular opinion.

But the privacy thing is the worst. If there was a duckduckgo version of Facebook, that would be great.
You could compare different societies, for example Saudi Arabia and Sweden. If some gender differences remain, it is still not certainty, but it is quite likely that they are caused by some brain chemistry.

(Unless you believe that Sweden is just as patriarchal as Saudi Arabia, in which case I guess there is no argument that could possibly convince you.)

Another possible approach is to examine what happens to transgender people after they start taking hormones.
Except for JS, which will execute `1/0` happily and without complaint. For that, I usually do `undefined.foo`.
This:

would simply be syntactic sugar for this:

public void DoThing(){
try {

} finally {
}
}

It's consistent.
I used to live in a 14 square meter (150 square foot) apartment in Uruguay while I was working and studying, for almost 8 years (definitely at age 25 like Sotaro Ito).

Honestly, it wasn´t bad - I was outside all day, and the miracle of the Internet meant that when I was inside I wasn´t missing much. I did my studying and meetings on university buildings, so it was basically a dorm room.

Several poor families (single mother and children, some immigrants) did live in the same 14 square meters and that was sad.

That's already the case on a per-institution basis for federal funding, all that a policy goal of eliminating tuition requires is changing the conditions.

GP was talking about wealth, not income. There's some room to argue whether a 12% figure for income represents high economic mobility. There's absolutely no room to argue that the much lower number for wealth is anything but a disgrace.
It’s called salary-porn because like actual porn, its attention-grabbing, often tantalizingly exaggerated and phony. Everyone on HN knows someone who knows someone who makes $500K at Facebook, and therefore that’s a totally normal salary that anyone can achieve. Last week it was $450K. I guess next week, $3K a day is going to be the standard rate for developers here.

To a developer who makes, say, $120K (which at least in the Bay Area is around median based on Salary.com and Glassdoor), that kind of claim is an emotionally-charged fantasy: provocative, maybe a little humiliating, but ultimately empty and unattainable. Again, fits the “porn” theme pretty well.

I’m not saying you’re a phony. Maybe you do make an enormous amount of money. If so, congrats, you are an outlier among outliers. I don’t see how talking about it adds any more value than talking about how you’re any other kind of fortunate outlier, like a hotel heir or lottery winner.
Graduating may have depended on sitting for those exams, but did all of your learning depend only (or even primarily) on those exams?

You can't argue that such data is individually owned and also that it must be released publicly, because that would require consent from everyone whose data was used.

It's not detailed enough for that, though you can tell the cadence and reliably guess at the number of words. If you know what we said, and only we do, then you can see it.
Well, it has to work well enough to be useful. When Waymo reports one disengagement every 11,000 miles, that's just the safety critical disengagements. The total disengagement rate is much higher than that. They are also relying on teleoperators who can help guide the vehicles out of tricky situations, which are myriad and it will take forever for Waymo to build features down to a granular enough level that they can operate reliably enough to compete with Uber.
In Go, you don't have to check err != nil to get the underlying value, in Rust you do. You probably aren't missing that exactly, in that you probably knew that difference, but you may be missing its importance. It means that in Rust, it is diminishingly rare to have a value of some type which it is not valid to use, whereas in Go many or most values - any value returned from a function that also returns an error, which is a lot of them - may be invalid (because the error may not have been checked). In mature teams using Go it may be unlikely for any errors to be unchecked, but it is a gun that is always pointed at your foot.
"...it should be noted that the Earth has been here before and come back from it at the end of the last ice age when sea levels rapidly rose 400 feet and drowned all of Earth's reefs at the time."

No one is seriously arguing that the earth is going to be literally destroyed, despite what anti-science Republicans would lead you to believe.

People are saying "the Earth that we know, love, have co-evolved with will be destroyed, and the assumptions that we built our cities, countries, and societies around will be turned on their heads. This will be replaced with a harsh world with wild extremes, natural disasters in places that aren't built for them, and more intense natural disasters in places that might be used to current, weaker ones.

Perpetuating this willful misinterpretation, even by acknowledging it, is a disservice to the future.
> Granted it's still possible that both Turkers assigned to the HIT could commit fraud in the same way, but surely just as a matter of chance this bounds your error rate pretty substantially.

I wonder if there's been research into the effort in time or persons to perpetuate this fraud. Knowing Amazon, I'm certain they've analyzed this internally if not constantly at least a few times over the years. I wonder if there's a public attempt at the same analysis.
As someone who lived in such an apartment in the past, computers are the main thing. I wished I had air conditioning back then.

I agree, It is pretty incredible how many things have been miniaturized - thanks to smartphones I no longer travel with a laptop for leisure for example, I´m travelling halfway around the globe next month with only a carry-on luggage.

E-book readers such as the Kindle are another amazing advancement.
