This is a misinterpretation of the 14th amendment. It's precise wording is: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside....

That subject to the jurisdiction thereof was not put in there without thought. It leaves room for a degree of interpretation. But for Indians residing on sovereign independent reservations there's no ambiguity whatsoever - they are excluded and there remains a supreme court ruling on the books upholding this. However, congress can choose to grant citizenship to whomever they choose and indeed a special exception was carved out for natives in the early 20th century - The Indian Citizenship Act. [1]

I mostly solved my sleeping issue after many years of trial and error by having a speaker by the bed and then on low volume play a podcast that's interesting enough to listen to but not interesting enough to keep me engaged. This helps me by keeping my mind focused on something unimportant instead of racing around, when I inevitably try to focus on something else it's drowned out by the podcast.

Good to hear CloudBees seems on top of this issue. Seen multiple posts of you guys here :)
As much as homebrew has its flaws, I don't want to use MacPorts until it supports binary packages as well as building from source. It's something even FreeBSD understood; not everyone is running on 8 core machines, and I don't have the time to build GCC or LLVM on a midrange laptop CPU. No one I know uses Homebrew because it's awesome, but because they wouldn't even consider for a split second a solution that involves waiting for hour for stuff to finish building from source.
I appreciate the classics, but I would always get in trouble in school for asking how the teacher knew this is what the author meant. Even before I knew what a skeptic was, I was a skeptic. :)

I also was not being a smart ass. Many authors have additional writings that add color to the writing being studied.
> Some things seemed so far fetched, so random, so made up. And yet it was supposed to be _the_ right answer. When I offered another one, even knowing the official one but disagreeing, I was graded as failing.

I absolutely agree with this. This was a constant source of frustration for me in literature classes. I enjoyed exploring alternative solutions and answers. Most science teachers encouraged that, even though there mostly was a "right" answer and I was missing some (mostly unknown to me) details in alternative theories. Exploring alternatives helps (me) to understand the problem and solution better.

But in the most subjective classes possible - literature analysis - where nobody really knows what the author meant, alternative opinions were considered wrong. And my only task was to repeat the teachers or text books opinion. Frustrating is an understatement.

This part of the article captures the issue perfectly:

Ask HN: Best website building service for selling software
Howdy. I'm wanting to throw up a web-store for a software product in the future and I'm doing research on a web-hosting service like wix or squarespace that I can sell downloads through. I could build my own site from scratch, but I'd rather spend what little free time I have on the actual product. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I took the test in elementary school, and was in the gifted program for almost my entire public school life. I vaguely remember the test, and it doesn't seem like something that could really be studied for - practiced maybe. It was very IQ test like when I took it many years ago. Perhaps it has changed.
For me it ended up not being worth it because I don't go in every day. In my case, the point of me WFH is so that I could get my commute time back, not just spend it going to a "different" office. With that said, I found myself only going in about 2x a week, which made it not worth it for me.
That sounds cool, but isn't it massively overengineering?
Oh, I've just checked and you're right, it's because we made some changes to the website lately, thank you for reporting this!

Sounds silly, but feel free to become a corporation. Well, it's not quite as easy as I say. When I went remote I had to start my own contracting company. Because I live in Japan and (at the time) corporations were the default company configuration, my contracting company was formed as a corporation. There are lots of advantages:

- I can deduct the rent for my work space. In fact, theoretically in Japanese law I can even rent an entire building and offer myself the ability to rent living space for about $150 per month, with the company eating the rest as a loss. Probably you can do something similar in other countries (although I couldn't actually do it... because in order to rent a place I need a company and in order to form a company I need an address... so... well, it didn't quite work out).

- Internet, some of my utilities, etc, etc are expenses. Some furniture as well. Some of it has to be depreciated, though, so I don't get the benefit immediately.

- I can set my salary to anything I want. If it is beneficial for the company to make a profit and for me to make peanuts, then it's fine. If the opposite is beneficial, then it's fine.

- A fair number of expenses can be deducted by having a life insurance plan for employees, etc, etc.

On the downside:

- I have to submit all my accounts using dual entry accounting. The government gets stroppy if I make a mistake because they expect me to be a corporation.

- I have to submit year end accounting. Seriously, I have no time for this and employ a wonderful tax accountant to do this for me. My tax accountant saves me money, but getting a good one is like getting a good car mechanic -- it's hit or miss and can be very expensive if you choose the wrong person.

- I have to do the payroll, calculate withholding tax, pay fees and employment taxes. I have to do this every month and if I'm late I get a really big fine. Luckily my wife does this (seriously, I would never do this without my wife doing all the heavy lifting)

- I have stupid amounts of bank fees because I have to transfer money between 3 different banks just to pay myself. We actually use a sneaker net in one phase: I literally withdraw our payroll from the ATM and deposit in another ATM just to save $20 in transfer fees. Of course, I have to document all of this so the government knows I'm not fiddling anything.

In the end, it's an absolute PITA. I don't really recommend it. I think I save a little money this way over when I was being paid salary. It's really hard to tell, though. However, if you factor in all the work that I need to do, I think I'm being paid about $2 an hour for that effort. Or I should say my wife is. If I didn't have her, it would not be worth it at all.

GDPR has largely been ignored on the webmaster-side, so I don't believe that's a large factor. Especially since you can pretty much do whatever you did before, you just need to mention it in your privacy notice.
It's true that "backdoor" is sometimes used as you defined. I feel that some usage, like this article, implies a deliberate backdoor. But you're right that it's an implication and not an explicit statement.

One reason that I feel this implication here is that an 'unintentional' backdoor vulnerability can be exploited by any attacker, but the article focuses on this backdoor's exploitability by Huawei, and by implication their untrustworthiness.

That says a lot about the quality of peer review at the NYT.
At a contrast: I think lots of people have he problem that regardless of how interesting they are in the grand scheme, they are more interesting then they seem. So a blog becomes a good way to expose that.

If you think yourself less interesting than you seem, then perhaps being less known and is a better option :)
I loved this. Really interesting. Some of the French translation is a little off IMO. I would say that "usine" probably translates better as "plant" or "factory". "Particuliers" means individuals in this context. So these are supplies to individuals rather than businesses (theatres, cafes etc). I really enjoyed it nonetheless

As someone who learned German as an adult (which also has lots of homophones + gendered nouns etc) I assure you it's not hard to make such mistakes.
...that's a pretty good idea, actually. I'd bet that in some way, shape, or form, search engines probably already have the ability to detect presence of advertising. The question is how they work it into the relevancy formula given that the big two search engines are at the same time the big two ad networks.

1. I have parallel processes that create records on the same table at the same time.

2. In some cases, I want to create the key in code and send it to the database, rather than fetching the key after the insert.

3. I want to know that if I mess up and send a document_id where I meant to send a user_id and vice versa, it's going to report "no match" rather than create a security breach by exposing one user's records to another user.

that's the main reasons anyway

If the author knows it and I don't, maybe the author thinks it's obvious where I find it surprising.
We make laws. We have police, and tax authorities. Google finance said google made $40.42bn. The rate is 25%. Gives us $10.1bn.

Your post is very insightful. The only thing I’d add is that when you have a $10 billion tax bill that you can afford to pay $5 billion to attorneys and accountants to avoid it.

That’s the crux of the problem to me. No matter what scheme the government can come up with to tax it, the numbers are so large that it is in the company’s interest and ability to find loopholes. That’s why we end up with sophisticated shell companies shuffling money around in tax havens that are perfectly legal but don’t make sense outside of tax avoidance schemes.

It's just a matter on how much time you spend learning the language.

Even if you only consider the time you spent in school merely learning your own native language those school lessons will add up to thousands of hours.

How many adults, who have already "learned" a foreign language, dedicate 6 hours per week purely on further improving their skills in that language for 12 years?

If you are worried about not knowing certain rare words then using a spaced repetition system with a word deck that contains the first 20000 or even 40000 words should help a lot. You will quickly rush through the words you already know. I can do 50 reviews in less than two minutes if I have memorized the words but 50 unknown words will take me at least 20 minutes. At a rate of 30 new words per day you can do 10000 words per year + half a year at the end to make sure every card reaches maturity.
I agree on home schooling having a socialization problem. Private schooling is kind of the opposite: the most measurable effect of private schooling are the connections formed, followed by similar effects of having a more wealthy demographic.

> I don't want a personal web site. I've had a handful of them in the past, and I've thrown together a couple shitty blogs over the years, but there are three big reasons why I don't anymore: I'm not that interesting; I don't have anything to show off; and inevitably it'll either become a chore or go out of date.

My wife and I are fairly boring people. I'm a sysadmin and fill-in sales rep at work, she works for the local government. Our hobbies are run of the mill; she reads and reviews the books she's read, I tinker with embedded computing projects and niche operating systems, and in the past have written (but not published) short fiction.

She maintains a review blog she started a few years ago when she wanted to connect better with the authors and fellow reviewers she was in contact with on Facebook and Twitter. It has taken off as far as such sites can, and while it takes up a ton of her free time after work and on weekends, we balance with time together as well. She makes absolutely no money from it (she hates the idea of ads on her site) and honestly I agree with her; she would feel like it was a second job if she tried to monetize it. Still, she does it because she enjoys the back-and-forth she gets with authors, and she often gets to meet some of her personal heroes in real life at conventions and release parties. I'd say having a personal website has helped her feel fulfilled outside of a boring day job and I'm all for it, even though it means less time spent doing things together. It makes that time together even more precious and fulfilling.

Oh, and as for me...I did start a writing blog several years ago but writing fell to the wayside and I haven't posted anything in a couple of years. I've thought about ditching that altogether and blogging about embedded projects instead, but I have more fun doing the hobby itself than I would writing about it. I'm not a very social person and I don't have any social media accounts (unless this site and my sporadic activity on OSNews counts), and overall I feel I'm a pretty boring guy outside of niche circles. I'm also not job hunting nor am I in a hiring role at work, so I don't feel the need for my info to be out there.
Well yes, but for most on HN I doubt that is an issue :)
Nothing. Learning a new language at middle age is hard and demands a lot of effort.

Some languages are harder than others though. I leaned English in my twenties (20-25) it was easier than learning German (at 25+). Maybe that's because there is a lot of material in English compared to German (TV shows, Movies, Music).

I also tried Japanese, it's fairly easy to pick up daily phrases but reading/writing was almost impossible for me.

But, I think that's the tricky part:

"And it's okay to praise Washington, Jackson, Franklin, etc for their part in founding and building the country and also condemn them for their wrongs."

How do you convince people that current portraits, monuments, etc aren't praising the good and bad OR (and I think this is much more the case) are praising the good and turning a blind eye to the bad?

It sounds like we need new portraits, monuments, etc to replace what we have currently.
Nuance? The article (behind a paywall alas) talks specifically about French, which could pose particular problems as a language / accent / etc.

It’s cheap to get fiber in developing countries because labor costs are extremely low and government regulation is lax.
This is offtopic but my country (NL) allows this:

I earned €1600 in 2016 as a student and then €50k in 2017 and 2018 as I started working fulltime. So now I can make a request for 'averaging' my taxes and I now get a some money back.
>Learning a language at any age is hard. It's just harder to fit in thousands of hours of deliberate practice in your thirties than in your teens.

Depends on the person and their budget. There are well off people (and quite poor people) with all the time in their hands to practice, because they hardly need to work. Doesn't need to be a billionaire, having a few houses to rent can be enough.
If you're passionate about a subject, you're going to have strong opinions about said subject. If you voice/publish those opinions, some people are going to hate you. Perhaps a potential employer was set to hire you until they read your blog post in which you were eloquently critical about offshoring, for example.

Or worse, you expressed an off-hand opinion about some social issue back in 2006 in an otherwise technical blog post that the wrong person stumbled upon and now the world is going to cave in on you.

I would love to write more, but censoring myself for the sake of future employers, psychos, etc. tends to make anything I do produce come off as bland and uninteresting.

It's not like serving humanity and making money is mutally exclusive. If there are markets in developing countries he can serve cheaper than anyone else both sides profit: he makes money, the people get cheaper internet.

That said, internet already tends to be the infrastructure demand best satisfied in developing countries. Building cell phone towers is much easier than building roads, and with cheap labor and no purchasing power comes cheap internet.
> And they did, and here we are, and all the countries that host companies that contributed to this are now having a cry about the actions of the monster they profited from creating.

But did they really profit? Let's assume for a second that the media isn't one monolithic entity governed by suits in a smokey board room but by many competing entities with opposing and dynamic economic incentives, like the public's fatigue and need for novelty. Let's assume that these changing media narratives are purely a result of inter/intra-generational variance in upbringing and other effectively random factors (accumulation of wealth and social mobility among them).

Has the general public truly profited from the movement of manufacturing over seas? I don't mean intangible improvements like higher resolution televisions and thinner smartphones and cheaper everything - just because they can be measured in SI units or dollars doesn't mean that they tangibly improve someone's life. I mean by the cold hard numbers. Is the average middle class family healthier than they were before? Are they spending less money to stay healthy? Are they more secure in their finances? Can they take longer vacations? Can they afford to send their kids to college without them having to balance study and worm time? Are they happier?

I guess that means what you mean by 'gifted' or 'notable'. Being very creative, having the confidence to express this creativity and most importantly, being both capable and _willing_ to have a high workload over time is probably correlated to having high IQ, but I strongly doubt that they follow in lockstep. Perseverence and hard work seems to be more correlated to "success" than IQ.

IMHO there's a lot of smart people that compromise their health and well-being by forcing themselves to work too hard at being notable, and in itself I don't think these are the best objectives to strive for in life.
