A VPS with a simple SSH server on a nonstandard port, maybe with some port knocking if you think you might be scanned or targeted by accessing from the offending country will do the trick just fine, keeping things reaaaally low profile.
https://github.com/rust-lang/hashbrown is a port of Google's SwissTable algorithm (abseil flat_hash_map). It also uses SIMD filtering and has the potential to be quite good.
And even if, for some reason, you have no withholding, and aren't expecting a refund, you may still be required to file just because your income is above the threshold (which is about 12k I think).
Visa Rejections for Tech Workers Spike
I'm critical of U/L, but it's ignorant to say there hasn't been any innovation.

Back then, you had to know the phone number to call - I'd try to be diligent about keeping a taxi number in my contact list but it's invalid when I really need it when traveling in a different city.

Trying to hail a cab during a busy holiday? Good luck with that - cab splitting existed but nowhere near as frictionless as through apps + route-planning software. Plus phone calls usually didn't make it to the dispatcher during extremely busy times (walking out of a bar on new years).

Waiting for the cab? Better stay put where you are since they can't see your live location.

Actually they don't quite get shut down. At least not in the USA. Instead they get taken over by a more stable bank, which receives some money to make the transaction make sense. People with deposits in the bank do not lose their money.

This is how FDIC insurance actually works in practice.

However there is a systemic risk if the entire system cannot absorb the bad banks. According to multiple people involved, in 2008 we came within a few hours of the whole banking system having to be shut down with no idea how much chaos that would cause. This is why TARP got passed.

Depending on what device you have, and how much work you're willing to do, you might be interested in postmarketOS.

We're working on getting Alpine Linux running on devices, particularly older Android phones. The best-supported devices right now are the Nexus 5 and the N900, but others are catching up.

We've also got people working with the Librem 5 devkits, so the Librem 5 will be fully-supported once it comes out.
> A good night sleep is required for your mind to process the previous day. Lessons learned get cemented.

> You can miss a good night's sleep and make it up later in terms of being rested, but whatever lessons and growth from the day prior to the lack of sleep will never be processed. They are lost, even if you sleep enough on a later night.

> It's sort of like saying there is 'eat healthy debt' where you eat junk food all week and then try to cancel it by eating super healthy on the weekend. That healthy eating on the weekend is a good thing, but it doesn't un-eat the unhealthy food.

Your two examples are not equivalent. In the first you mention missing _a_ good night's sleep. In the second you are not missing a night of healthy eating but intentionally engaging in the opposite consistently. A more accurate comparison would be something like a "cheat day" in a diet, to follow the logic of the first example.
That's the plus or minus part.
You can satisfy all of this, have an IP with an absolutely spotless reputation that you have personally controlled for years that has never sent spam, and still be arbitrarily shitlisted with zero recourse whatsoever.
I'm not sure an entire book would constitute a "too long; didn't read".
The usual mentality is "Use us 'cause we're faster than all those SLOW frameworks!" and then they show you a graph of a benchmark was in a specific instance they're X faster than the common options.

It's fun to see some people being honest about it. "It's good enough" is pretty honest here.
Before switching to shared hosting from my VPS (one reason being that i didn't want to bother with email maintenance and didn't want to have a separate service just for email), i had my mail with (badly configured) Spamassassin that wouldn't delete mail, just add a "SPAM" prefix in the topic. My mail isn't exactly commonly known, but still is one i have for years and was made public thanks to me releasing an Android app once (after which, spam increased dramatically).

Even after running it for years, Spamassassin never marked a legitimate mail as spam, so i'm pretty sure that if i wasn't too lazy to configure it to move it to a spam folder, it'd work fine. Stuff did pass through it (at a ratio of one every four or so) but i was fine with deleting those.

What i'm trying to say is that from personal experience, i'd be fine with a spam filter that errs on the side of not marking stuff for spam and me deleting whatever goes through manually. Having to see a bit of spam mail is small cost for losing mail i'm actually interested in.

I recommend to read through this to better understand the Base Web overrides: https://baseweb.design/theming/understanding-overrides/

It actually does everything you propose.

For render props, the BaseWeb API is not <Select renderDropdown={...} renderArrow={...} renderLabel={...} /> but it's collapsed under a single prop overrides={{ Dropdown: { component: {...} } ... }} naming convention. This "map" includes (and gives you access) to every single subcomponent.

The same goes for "adapting styles based on props".

BaseWeb uses exactly same patterns and techniques that you mention. The difference is the naming consistency and uniformity across all components. Instead of "littering" the top level API, we have a single prop "overrides" and instead of deciding what should and shouldn't be customizable, everything is customizable. Again, without a need to keep adding new top level props.
Well, this may drive a crowd away, but maybe the best way for monetization is to make Uber a subscription based thing. Obviously, it would have to be cheap though.
ssh over https, using proxytunnel works really good too. Looks like regular https traffic. And in addition to forwarding individual ports, openssh also has full vpn capability using tun/tap devices.

It's a zombie idea that fiat currencies are somehow "backed" by tax collection, or the military, or the "legal tender" text on the banknote.

No matter how many times we go through the refutation, zombie ideas like this just never die.

Money is purely a social construct. It only has value because people collectively find it useful. There is no backing.
I don't think an average of 1,000 mistakes per person-affected-by-mistakes is realistic here. I'd bet it's closer to 1.
As other commenters have guessed: I was calling the narrative into question. Lard was once common in Europe (if not necessarily in the Nordic region) and now it isn't. Could it be that something other than this domestic narrative killed lard?

The same is true of other trends both in America and elsewhere. For example, in Norway, we perceive rural areas being abandoned in favour of urban areas as a problem to be solved. We pretend that this problem is domestic, and that we can solve it domestically, but we are actually looking at a global trend, yet no one points this out when it is discussed.

I think that 99% of the time when Europeans make what you perceive as annoying "Eurocentric" observations, they are actually calling cause and effect into question. If an effect occurs on both sides of the Atlantic, and the Americans are attributing it to domestic causes, that would seem to be the wrong conclusion, because what, then, caused it to simultaneously happen in Europe?
Yep - and "how our engineers communicate" is far from a narrow business problem
Taxis (drivers) don't make money, or rather, they are subjected to the same degree of commoditization either way.

Medallion owners make money. All of the profits are extracted into the medallions.

It's actually a bad system, really.

'Driving a taxi' is a total commodity, there's a limitless supply of people willing to do it for sub minimum wage, so the money just goes to the owners.

Rent extraction is usually a bad way to manage things; it's kind of like real-estate speculation, but there's no need for it.

It'd be nice to see the cities embrace Uber-like systems, capture the profits from it, enforce basic laws, and somehow make it fair. I'm not holding my breath.
Or developing driverless cars and shoveling all the profits.

Downlinking issues in Canada, not exactly a hostile marketplace:

>>> The government decision: Primary telemetry, telecommand and control facilities and network operations centres must be located within Canadian territory. A description and planned location of these facilities must be included in licence applications. The final location of these facilities must be confirmed by Milestone 1, with construction completed by the launch of the first satellites (Milestone 3), as defined in CPC 2-6-02, Licensing of Space Stations.

>>> Lastly, citing unknown video game nerds and believing their interpretations over the CEO of a public company

If you play KSP you know of what I speak. A CEO cannot overcome physics. Anyone who plays KSP knows what it would mean to create a network to pass a relay over a given spot in leo every hour/day/minute etc. This is basic orbital dynamics, something KSP teaches very well. So yes, if a CEO is ignoring the basic realities of motion, then I would cite to a video game (aka a physics simulator).

This dude has some crazy patents, including for room temperature superconductors.

A few comments in previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19229584
React Context is essentially scoped global props (the scope is some subtree of the overall component tree; the props are global to that subtree, any component in the subtree can elect to consume them). Why it's an important concept is that it keeps you from needing to pass props down the tree from each component to its children. This is important because often times those intermediate components don't have any concern with the stuff being passed down, so they shouldn't be concerned with data that doesn't matter to them.

Another way of passing around ~global stuff is Redux, which many people find cumbersome and difficult to understand. And by "many people" I mean me.
The problem is a sort of Pascal's mugging. Yes, some breakthrough claims pan out. But if you take every claim equally seriously, you'll be absolutely snowed under amidst claims of breathtaking new discoveries. Extraordinary claims still require extraordinary evidence, because there are so many more extraordinary claims than actual breakthroughs.

I mean, how many claims of Revolutionary New Battery Technology (for instance) are we going to get before we get a truly revolutionary new battery tech? Probably many! And those don't even require new physics! Lots of patents turn out to be totally useless (practically speaking), even ones that don't make extraordinary claims. Ones that do probably require heightened scrutiny. A better toaster? Probably works! A cheap and portable mind-control device? Maybe not.
That's why you should have LIDAR and cameras, if nothing else so the car can use the cameras to predict and adjust to the condition-driven changes in behavior of the human drivers.

RePalm – Hardware Emulation of PalmOS
Vacant property needs more police and fire protection. When someone is there they keep the "riff-raft" out.
Amazon was making real profits in each line of business shortly after entering - 1-2 years for books, music, etc. IIRC. They chose to reinvest that in further expansion but always had the option of halting expansion and being fully profitable if they wanted.

Uber has nothing remotely like that and, unlike Amazon, their costs scale linearly and their workers (who are most of the business) have no reason to be loyal.
Hopefully they are smart enough not to fall for the sunk cost fallacy. But three other examples come to mind.

They bought Github even though they already had VSTS aka Azure Devops that offered free git hosting and they just abandoned their own browser engine for Chromium. Also they bought Xamarin.
I used to mail in my tax filings. It would cost me around $5 with the recommended level of tracking.
Most 'small businesses' are not startups. Far from it.

They are shops, restaurants, contractors, accountants.

Even most 'big companies' are just small one's that grew into something. Starbucks, H&M, IKEA. They were never the kind of 'entrepreneurial' in the Valley/Startup sense.

It's why VC/Valley is so focused on tech because there are inherent multipliers.

Uber and WeWork are providing a value add. Both of them have upped the game in some way. Yes - the funding bubble distorts everything miserably but that doesn't take away from the fact that people want cheap and fast rides, and they want cool places to work.
Likewise I found they filtered an e-mail from my bank about my car loan.

>Update: want to add this question. Anyone know why Apple would bar a GPLv3 app from the app store (bash is unfortunate but I think I understand that one)?

I think it's simply a company-wide policy made at the recommendation of overly-cautious legal counsel.

On the matter of GPLv3, I think this is going to be an "agree to disagree" type of thing. I actually quite like the changes over v2. But then I'm not a professional developer. I'm just a bookkeeper who dabbles in coding for fun and for a bit of ad-hoc automation on the job. My perspective is certainly quite different from someone who makes a living programming.
This guy sounds like a very talented sociopath.

NOTE: I read the New York Times article, not the interview.
Because no one is really reading it. It's not there to be read. It's there to exist. You can't pay 7 figures for a simple image file. No. There must be "a reason" for that logo to look like that. So you get someone to drum up a few pages of bullshit to justify paying 7 figures for it.

And the sad thing is that everyone knows it's bullshit on some level. But I'm not paying 7 figures without getting handed that bullshit, and you're not charging 7 figures without being able to create it.
Sounds like you need to triage your circuit. Every trace should be connected to a certain number of other points. Turn off power and use a multimeter on the continuity setting to verify each trace connects to where it's supposed to.

After that, turn on power and verify that each trace has the correct voltage on it.

The two steps above should let you determine which part is failing.
> we have an understanding of consciousness by the very fact that we can experience it

Would you say that you have an understanding of capitalism just by existing in a capitalist society?

Would even an economist or a stockbroker have an "understanding of capitalism"? Or do they just know how to make predictions? If they predict incorrectly, would you say that there understanding is less than they had thought?

Would you say that you have an understanding of the English language just by writing it?

Would even a linguist or a writer have an "understanding of English"? Or do they just know how to string words together based off a set of rules? If they write a bad paper/novel, would you say that there understanding is less than they thought?

If an understanding of capitalism/language is "less than they thought" is it really "understanding" necessarily?

Perhaps a dead horse has been beaten, but I think my point is clear: complex activities/systems that we do/take-part-in everyday do not imply knowledge of the fundamental elements of those activities/systems.

Our brains are highly skilled at pretending we have understanding.
I'm glad you have your heart in the right place.

However, as one of the PMs in charge of one of the most important messaging applications on the planet, you cannot claim the following without stating your reasons:

> Gmail does not, inherently, have any network effects

Yes, compared to facebook, and within the context of messaging apps, gmail's network effect is weaker. But the fact that the very existence of the gmail monolith can kill off small mail servers (not implicitly, but by failure to deliver messages), is a real problem.

I understand it's a difficult problem. It's not a gmail scale problem, but the effects, times the number of small mail servers is important, because those small mail servers will be what is left if any of the big players in this ecosystem collapse.
Of course you can't trust what exchanges say.

But if there were widespread problems selling Tether to buy Bitcoin, and withdrawing Bitcoin from the exchange, then we'd hear about it and there'd be a run on the exchange.

Even though most people's primary interaction with Uber is through the native apps, there's a ton of web applications built here. The opening line of the linked article is: "At Uber, we have hundreds of internal web applications" Additionally, there are a number of customer facing web apps from a web version of the rides app to Uber for Business to Uber Freight.
> No, that's what makes them "users." The customers are the advertisers who actually pay money to Google.

I understand your idea. But in my opinion this is a useless and unconventional definition of the word 'customer'. The customer is the one who receives a service in exchange for compensation. In this case the service is gmail and the compensation is ad impressions. The fact that Google can sell those ad impressions is secondary to that dynamic. If there were no users willing to provide that compensation in exchange for access to gmail, then there'd be no product, and there'd be no secondary market for selling those advertisements. Meanwhile even with no advertisers there would still be a product, and there would still be other avenues for monetizing it.

> You can rest assured that they don't have to post a cri de coeur on social media to get a response from Google when something goes wrong.

Are you sure about that? A quick google for "adwords support experiences" gives quite a number of telling stories to the contrary. Besides, there are several orders of magnitude more users than there are advertisers, so obviously it's going to be much easier for users' issues to get lost in the noise. And obviously no advertising agencies are going to be getting any sympathy by complaining on Twitter.
Will the Patriots win the Superbowl? Will Brad and Angelia get back together? Will Biden beat Sanders?

So much of the news is now just speculative junk where after you finish reading the article, you realize you got nowhere and just wasted your time. Sometimes I'm embarrassed at how much time I've wasted on junk news.

"Uber can't make money and here is why" is a factual claim and news. Those are the stories that the economist should be writing. "Can Uber ever make money" is pure speculation and a waste of time.
If you have a local makerspace, take it down there and see if they know of anyone who would be willing and able to help you.
The next diagonal would be 2; doesn't matter if the diagonals are sequential or not, each one alternates. If you're on 2 and you have 1 movement point left, you can't use it for a diagonal.

You could track the state across turns for slightly more accuracy, though we haven't ever bothered to do that when we use this method in D&D. Even perfectly implemented, it's still just an approximation. But the simplest version works pretty well: "Every diagonal move, regardless of direction or sequence, alternates between costing 1 movement point and 2." And most of the time you're attempting to move in a straight line anyway, so you rarely have to deal with double-backs or non-sequential diagonals.
This seems like an implementation similar to the one Google engineers have given talks about (w/vectorization, etc) so it's cool to have more options to use a modern performant table like that.

There is no perfect solution, so I think it's better to go with the one that most often protects lives.

Yes we all like the notion of 'bookstores' - but there's very hard economic realities to why they are not very common.

This is 80% a function of supply and demand. No amount of good will will make this work unless people are buying books.

Surely - someone making a statement, catering to a niche not otherwise catered to, encouraging reading - this is all good.

But people need to buy books (or whatever else they sell) and that's most of the story.

So this looks like a 'good news' story, I wish them well. But we need to buy books (there, and a places like this) for it to work.
Thank you very much! I feel like all states (and the feds) owe it to their people to make free, transparent, online tax filing available.

Really, though, I remember when I was in college and grumbling about having to pay for turbotax only because of state, and then finding out this existed. Made my week!
Also no mention of introsort (C++ std::sort), where it uses insertion sort for small arrays, detects if it's fallen too far towards O(n^2) of quicksort, and punts to heapsort when it needs to.
