It's more accurate to say "individuals don't cease to have rights just because they act through a corporation." There are some rights that don't make sense applied to a corporation, and people don't have those rights when acting through a corporate form. (E.g. the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.) But for most rights, deeming them inapplicable when people are acting as a corporation would be an extremely effective way to eviscerate the underlying right.

The ACLU, Sierra Club, etc., are all corporations. They need to be corporations in order to enable their fund-raising and nationwide scope of activities. Nobody really thinks the ACLU shouldn't have the right to free speech. (Note: The ACLU was on the winning side in Citizens United.) What people are opposed to is the content of the speech that some people speak when acting through the corporate form. (Citizens United was about a movie critical of Hilary Clinton.) But if free speech means anything, it means you can't single out speech based on content.

Everyone assumes BSE prions from cows are causing CJD in humans, but an alternative explanation is that organized crime was disposing human bodies in hamburger factories, and CJD is just caused by human prions.

Does Learning to Read Improve Intelligence?
Why would that be obvious to a person new to the ecosystem? npx and npm coexist. They have overlap in functionality. They are both referenced in the instructions the user is reading.

Why couldn't they just write that you should use npx if you have it? Or, since it works using npm too, why not just tell everyone to use npm?

There are so many non-obvious things here.

Why do we run some binaries via npm and others via npx? If you're going to use npm to run all the commands after create-react-app, why include npx in the document at all?

If you use npx to create an app per the directions, why does the animated output tell you to use yarn to start it (and not npm as in the text immediately above)? Why does the animation then ignore the output and use npm to start it?

The answers to these types of questions may be known to someone immersed in the ecosystem, but the presentation on the official page is definitely muddled and makes the answers far from obvious.

I agree with the base assessment the article poses which is that dark patterns are used to get you to pay. But the underlying implication is clear from the tone and wording in the article - that this is a bad or dishonest thing.

First off, Intuit is under no legal obligation (to my knowledge anyway) to provide any service for free. They have promised to do so, but I don't think anything related to this promise is legally binding.

Second, they're in it to make money so clearly all advertising is going to be geared to the paid products.

Lastly, the idea that typing a reasonable search into Google and having the page with the actual result be the 5th link which you then click into and have to read the requirement of getting something for free is somehow shady seems a bit dramatic. Not to mention that when I type that same search string into Google now it's the first link after the featured snippet (which is also a link to the IRS, but a different page). I don't think that's in any way unreasonable or undesirable. That's about as close to idiot-proof as you can get in my opinion. And we're talking about something that's free here so there's pretty much no incentive to assist it. And in this case, as per the article, there's active incentive to hide it and yet it's still really easy to find.

Have you looked at the OMB filing time estimates on each form? That's a significant investment of time. I've done it many times and I think everyone should do it at least once so they can verify the software's work in the future, because despite what you think software does make egregious mistakes (data flow related, not math) and miss opportunities due to opaque questioning.

But, doing it that way every year is not a practical option for anyone who doesn't already qualify for the free filing options anyway.
Introducing: PhotoStructure
Hi rwmj,

I think there's been some blur in the goal here. SHAKTI's aim is not to just build a Indian-based server chip manufactured abroad. For instance, if you see their tapeouts page (http://shakti.org.in/tapeouts.html), you can see that they have taped out a chip in India as well with 180nm..

Also, Compressed instruction support has been supported on SHAKTI since and a beta version is now available publicly.
The reason for that contact was to try to port Fedora on the already taped out chip which does not support compressed instructions.
And as for why you might want to spawn processes in these cases - it helps isolate memory corruption, other unrecoverable process failures, or even just issues like memory fragmentation to a specific unit test / file build - so that issues building/testing X don't show up as intermitent failures that get misattributed to building/testing Y.

As a workaround for perf issues like the article, you might choose to reuse the same process more instead, but it's a tradeoff.
Looks like this is not entirely true. Looks like Congress simply created bad regulations limiting the funding for residencies in the US. A simple formula could have been created to determine residency funded limits instead of a simple hard cap.

> What is the average delivery in days when shopping from Alibaba?

It's not for the same-day delivery crowd, that's for sure, afaik it's from a few days to a week or two. But, like I said, the price is sometimes so low that for a lot of people it's worth it.

> Do you get huge delivery fees akin to Amazon and eBay?

Not as far as I know. There used to be a loophole (or maybe the customs people were too lazy to enforce the law) where you didn't pay VAT for purchases that were not that high but that has changed lately, which added approximately 20% to the costs. Even so, because the prices are comparatively speaking so low it doesn't make that much of a difference.

Of course, I wouldn't advise trying to purchase any branded things or luxury stuff from Alibaba but you can find pretty nice things in there at impossible to beat prices if you don't care that much about the label.

Ya, I find it even more interesting that they copied the Smartcars API.

In theory, if you copy an API, you also copy its semantics. The docs for it are supposed to be interchangeable. Its touchy. For example, wouldn't most people rely and use the Java doc even for Android?

Now obviously, redistributing a copyrighted doc on their own website without permission is something else. Cause I'm guessing docs are copyrightable, but not APIs. The whole thing is getting more interesting to be honest.

Nah, you're missing the forest when looking at the trees. Go bigger. Why the hell is the tax code so damn complicated that it requires certified experts and special software to perform personal tax filings? I can see the case for a complex code for business taxes since there are many different industries that have different rules. But personal returns should never, ever have such complicated rules. And that doesn't mean I agree with business taxes being complicated, merely that the argument is much more reasonable.
my impression is that this is exactly what China wants. what do they have to gain from allowing american companies into their market without some hurdles? it is far more beneficial to china to encourage local business development.

Sadly you are correct. But what I was getting at is that I'm interested in how do you choose a language. Us the techies should strive to make technical decisions not based on politics, wouldn't you agree?

> But in any case, Go is a very straightforward language if you're already familiar with popular languages like C/C+, C#, Java, or JavaScript.

> Elixir is a much larger conceptual leap in that it is functional

True. I still found the investment very worth it though, even after I spent 14-15 years with OOP / imperative languages before that, mind you. But that's a matter of personal career choice.

> Static typing is also pretty huge (dialyxir seems more like a bolt on).

This is undeniably one of the big weaknesses of Erlang/Elixir (and the BEAM languages in general). It made me try and reach for languages like Go and OCaml.

Go is pretty easy but extremely verbosive. Also the imperative languages' tendency to always show you how you are doing things instead of the what you are doing (namely the way of the functional languages) is something that is poking my eyes out lately, for the better or worse. Additionally, people use Go's typing escape hatch (`interface{}`) way too often, to the point that the typing system feels completely optional.

OCaml I like quite a bit, and its typing system is world-class. Lightning-fast compilation times are a huge productivity boost, one I didn't expect. But lack of even basic parallelism wrappers is pretty off-putting (I am not counting convenient pthreads-like DSL, they are just that and nothing else).

All in all, I'd still go for Elixir for 90% of what I ever do due to its preemptive scheduler and very friendly parallelism and concurrency story. And higher-level tools -- like Broadway -- keep getting added.

The BEAM languages are not a panacea. That's a fact. They seem to fit excellently in the web programming though.

The number of earned doctorates in 2017, according to the NSF, was 54,664 (https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsf19301/). Approximately 50% of those graduates expect/want to teach at the higher education level. The number of doctoral graduates who want to teach far exceeds the number of positions, and colleges and universities are (logically) taking advantage of that fact.
Whether a college or university is for-profit or non-profit, finance is always a core value. If they can hire part-time adjunct faculty "as needed," with no expenses for benefits, the accountants see no reason to hire full-time faculty.
Additionally, by using primarily part-time faculty, colleges and universities can select those individuals who best fit student demographics and accreditation requirements, while also making adjustments as needed.
I am an associate/adjunct faculty member who was full-time. The demands on my time and participation in non-paid activities is still high. Many adjuncts work at several universities while maintaining a full-time job elsewhere. There can be no loyalty in such a situation, so everything breaks down to dollars and cents. Where I teach, adjunct faculty are paid per class, and the rate has not changed in a decade.
Highly qualified faculty who tire of getting 2-3 classes a year, while being required to attend quarterly "faculty" meetings, dealing with administration email proclamations on a regular basis, are finally saying "enough is enough" and quitting. However, the universities really do not seem to care as more and more universities opt for the part-time adjunct model.
This articles states this issue is a "ticking time bomb," but I do not see that. Financial factors are the driving force and accountants are making the major decisions, but they can quickly adjust as needed as there as an excessive number of faculty who would jump at teaching "just a little more."

IBM "bluewashes" their terminology and vocabulary for this same reason. They can easily catch someone else using IBM-specific language, and they'll often call very common things by unique and very different names compared to other companies. This can also help cover for any perceived issues with employees bringing over ideas from their previous company.
