Taxes on transactions, such as tariffs, are almost never paid only by one side. The side with less flexibility is going to pay most of it, adjusting prices as needed to make this so.

China has less flexibility. Idled factories are a huge problem, and there is no other buyer as large as the US. It is relatively easier for the US to buy elsewhere, both abroad and domestic.

About 83% of the tariff burden is getting paid by China. (analysis by European financial firm)

Even the part we do pay isn't all bad. It reduces the need for other taxes. It supports American workers, reducing income inequality.

>However, given the amount of Boeing planes out there, and the number of employees, the company dying would be harsh.

It would be, but it needs to happen. And it wouldn't be as bad as people think.

The same thing happened when GM was on the verge of going under 10+ years ago. Why does everyone somehow think a giant manufacturer going out of business somehow means that thousands of employees will suddenly be destitute and unable to find another job? Do people really think that enormous manufacturing facilities are somehow going to go unused forevermore?

No, what happens is the company's competitors swoop and and buy up all the assets for cheap, and put them to work, because now there's suddenly not enough manufacturing capacity to meet global demand, but there's all these assets and a highly-skilled workforce suddenly available to be put to use.

For the same reason bailing out Chrysler and GM was wrong, Boeing should not be allowed to survive. The company can be broken up and all its assets sold to (hopefully foreign) competitors, who can then build better planes with them.
This article makes a case against a calorie-centric approach to dieting. It boils down to something like Michael Pollan's "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." A guy (who has since become an expert in public health) wasn't able to control his weight using standard calorie-counting techniques and had a lot of success changing his diet to "high quality" (as opposed to "highly processed") food. The article isn't super clear on specifics of what that means but it sounds like there might be something to it. Also worth noting that he began exercising in between this switch.

Cue a dozen bitcoin haters explaining how "the difference between exchanges and the protocol doesn't matter and how bitcoin shouldn't be valuable anymore because exchanges gets hacked."
Another poster cited "a cover per chapter, etc" as an advantage, but I don't see that capability in the linked tool (and I don't think it's part of the m4b format, which is a shame - the ability to change art per chapter or even more so, at points in the timeline, would really open some new uses e.g. saved lectures with slides).
Unless the photos are encrypted with zero visibility to the platform itself and located on offshore servers (see Tresorit), Bokeh (great name, BTW) will still be subject to all the same government intrusions as FB: censorship, surveillance, and warrants.

This function does not accept the output buffer size as an argument.

Is there an implicit constant buffer size in the framework, language or device, like a single page or something?

To a C programmer, this looks extremely unsafe.

There is sometimes judgment/pressure if you don't drink unfortunately, but it seems to be getting more rare. Most people are respectful though (same goes for a lot of my H1B buddies who don't eat meat).
Have you seen a picture of the product? The judgement has nothing to do with people being teetotal. The product is marketed at people who want to look like their drinking Some kind of ‘radical’ beer.

This is the kind of thinking that leads startups to build their own autoscaling for their pre revenue CRUD app. Trying to roll your own cloud infrastructure will kill you far quicker than AWS shutting down your service.

And you will always be relying on someone else's proprietary tech - whether it's laptops or power stations or cloud infra. The trick is deciding then to outsource and when to build your own.
Has anybody even read the article? Jesus. Your comment is a complete non-sequiter.

There are two ENTIRELY UNRELATED questions. One question is "cryptographic verification." One is "Paper/electronic"

You can have any combination. You can have a crypographical, verifiable, PAPER voting system, for example (and that's what this article is about).
> The import tariffs are paid by the people inside the importing nation.

While that's technically true, the tariffs have the effect of increasing the price of goods, so the exporter may need to lower their price and drop their profit margin to remain competitive.

> The way to tax China itself would be an export tax on money bound to China, including the transfers of immobile or intangible assets to Chinese nationals or corporations via domestic exchanges or brokerages--and including the cash value of transferred intellectual property.

That's an interesting idea, but doesn't the US Constitution ban export taxes?

Wouldn't that be mitigated by having enough water before he fast begins? I usually gorge water before and after my fasting for the day.
My understanding is that's not the purpose of the obfuscation. The parties doing this don't generally want to hack users or compromise accounts, they want people to go to their site instead of the more recognizable one.

If they start actively phishing users this way they're solidly in illegal hacking territory on a pretty massive scale. What they're currently doing is "only" a "growth hack" to get more people on their site instead of the competitor's site.

I assume those seconds are mainly JVM startup time. The existing ob-plantuml doesn't support sessions, so it evaluates every code block in a new instance of plantuml. Seems to me like should be possible to use the `-pipe`-option for plantuml so that you can send multiple code blocks to the same instance via stdin and get the images back via stdout. That's probably what VSCode does, but it doesn't seem like anyone has bothered to write that for Emacs so far.
It's far healthier to skip dinner though. Breakfast is the easiest to skip (for social/practical reasons), but generally your body will digest things better when ingested earlier in the day.

An easy compromise is to get most of your calories around lunch time (or earlier).
Mailchimp Alternatives for Startups
I sometimes intermittently fast for 24 hour periods, but recently I've switched to skipping breakfast, which effectively works out to be a 17 hour fast for me if I eat dinner at 6pm and have lunch at 12pm. Everyone says it's the most important meal of the day, but I haven't found convincing evidence of this(especially that which isn't sponsored by grain and sugar producers), and not having a huge insulin spike at the beginning of the day seems beneficial.

The results are profound. I'm a lot more focused and emotionally stable. The only distraction is the frequent "gotta find food" feeling, but that usually subsides within minutes. It's usually not even true hunger, but an impulse instilled in me by a culture focused on eating and "never starving".

Pro-breakfast proponents say that eating breakfast results in eating less throughout the day, but I can't say this has been true at all for myself. When I ate breakfast, I also would snack more throughout the day. Without breakfast, I look forward to meals more and those two meals, which are almost always ketogenic, are more satisfying.

The only negative effect I'm having is that my sex drive has plummeted to near-zero. I suppose that's a good thing for focusing on work, but I wouldn't want to keep that up forever.
I'm not too sure but I can say for certain that it doesn't spew radioactive material into the environment.
> especially given the monumental failure of the "calories in calories out" model.

I don't think that's the case at all - do we have examples where people, strictly observed didn't lose weight when eating under their caloric requirements?

There absolutely is a pile of mitigating factors in how someone eats or lives, but that's like saying "exercise has been proven to not help people run marathons" just because most people who try to run a marathon don't succeed.
Too bad for all those calling for it he was smart enough to keep voting power.

Some random questions I always wonder:

Do we really have reliable numbers as far as public debt in China AND what the central government has as far as money, and what they could do about it?

Could China now be large enough that they could just ... cancel some debt and tell the world "That's right, we did it, you gonna just not do business in China?"
I can imagine many situations where a journalist would hold back on things (names of underage accused, names of spies, locations of military operations, etc.) in order to a) stay out of prison and b) keep the communication pipelines open with their sources.

"Publish and be damned" will quickly lead to you having no-one willing to speak to you.

(Imagine someone who immediately told everyone any secrets they learnt. How long would people tolerate that?)
> Nuclear on the other hand is the opposite. It takes considerable time to spin up or down but is great at providing a very high, very steady baseload.

Not correct. Nuclear power is pilotable, even if not as much. It's used as a base load because it's more profitable.
I find it quite amusing that holding somewhat banal, mainstream, well-accepted and factually-sound opinion (ie, "The Trump administration is incompetent and his policies cannot and have not achieved their stated end goals"), is enough to be considered a flamer, troll etc. Don't worry, you're not the weird one - I got reprimanded by dang for essentially paraphrasing Masha Gessen's writings in The Atlantic. Wow, what a rebel I am!

When a place that exists to "gratify one's intellectual curiosity" is so unable to deal with mainstream opinion, we are living in crazy times indeed.
I don't drink and find the title provocative - don't have any plans to go write an article complaining about it though.

Considering it's an article complaining about "toxic masculinity" (phrase used in the article), that sure seems like one incredibly toxic title.
I'd love a good looking consumer device like this, especially if it synced with Apple Health and/or Homekit or otherwise allowed data export, but all (Netatomo, Awair, Uhoo, etc) seem to get very poor reviews on Amazon, often claiming they are inaccurate. Has anyone seen a good comparison of whats out there with a suggestion for the best?
in the unlikely event someone manages to shove that thing inside of their helmet, do they _need_ an accurate measurement? if it hits 5000, it can just be read as "way too much".
From an investment point of view, smart/rich people that invest in start ups know a large percentage of them fail [1]. The idea is to invest smaller amounts in a bunch of crazy ideas in hopes that one of them--for reasons you may not fully understand--succeeds and covers the losses of the others.

Anecdotally: you could argue that a car that drives itself is outlandish, or rentable electric scooters is stupid, or X other idea is ridiculous, but those smart/rich investors are still making money at the end of the day.

If you genuinely don't know the basic story of anti-science work by the big oil/carbon companies, the basic story is this: the science was pretty clear by 1980 that we need to draw down carbon emissions, and by wilfully lying and deceiving the carbon lobby has managed to muddle the water enough that emissions have grown yearly instead.

The worst part is that Google Home is a complete shit-show so far. I constantly have to redo device setups for dvices that randomly disappear, recreate groups that lose one or more (and sometimes all) devices, and physically reset devices that randomly disconnect from wifi. It's been a terrible experience so far. I'd get rid of it completely if Alexa would let me like songs on Spotify, but that's another conversation altogether.
I wouldn't worry about the plastic liner, TBH. Afaik this plastic lining is burned off/removed when recycling the aluminum. Unlike plastic, and like steel, aluminum is very economical to recycle, so it mostly is and has been for decades.
1. This exchange hack won't lose you any money, because it's insured.

2. You should anyway only use proper exchanges, then it's like using your current bank.

3. You don't have to use your own wallet. Cryptocurrencies gives you the opportunity to do so, but it's not a requirement.
You have to consider stuff like terrorist attack and so on. Nobody is so incentivized in making your backyard pool leak.
Hey! Thanks for checking it out and the feedback! I will make sure that future versions have the autosuggestion behavior on search fields and any input field on the admin side that requires it.
But that's just not how it happened. That settlement was pretty much insignificant.

First Amazon launched their online book store. Then Microsoft made a $150 million investment into Apple. Then Google launched its search innovation. Linux and Apache were already hugely successful with dominating the web. Java and PHP were kicking ASP's ass.

https://news.netcraft.com/archives/2019/04/22/april-2019-web...

Microsoft got so much distracted by certain market dominance they totally missed the uprising of the web players. Then Valve released their app store, Apple released the iPhone including its app store, Google released Android and Microsoft saw its dominance fall apart. The settlement didn't contribute to any of these developments.

So what happened is - because Microsoft was so dominant - the competition needed to seriously up their innovative game to conquer their positions. If government would have intervened more strongly there wouldn't have been the need for stronger competition which would have resulted in less innovation. The market corrected itself.
Microsoft is all about cloud and web now. Clients are supposed to be web browser (asp.net) or mobile (xamarin), and they plan to add java, objc and swift interop to better target android and ios.

Hi there! I am about to graduate and have recently become REALLY fascinated with databases, and I'd like to research them further. The problem is that all of my research of "Database Design" leads to something along the lines of "modeling schemas and data".

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Recently went canvassing myself. In NYC it ranges from 50-350/hr depending on who you're talking with and their exact licensing. Licensed psychologists will be more expensive than licensed mental health workers or counselors. Psychiatrists are the most expensive. However, depending on your level of therapy needed, online can be much cheaper.

You need normalization to exercise those rights as effectively as possible. Certainly, prejudice can mean there is a difference between theoretical de juris outcomes and de facto actual outcomes.

But normalization without those rights still leaves you unable to do a lot of things. It leaves you with "You can't visit your husband in the hospital because policy says family only and the law says you aren't family, even though no one here is a homophobe. We still can't let you through because we can get fired for breaking the rules."

You need both things to enjoy a high quality of life. I don't know why you are arguing otherwise.

Rights without social cooperation certainly hampers your ability to exercise those rights, but social cooperation without rights is still a big problem.

I could see someone taking the position that normalization implies having the same rights as a baseline starting point. But I cannot see arguing that normalization is more important than legal rights and legal rights were never the point.

I will add the article in question indicates legalizing it is helping to normalize it. Rights are not some insignificant detail, not by any stretch of the imagination.

Smartphone voting sounds like a recipe for disaster. The fact that votes are cast in private in an otherwise public place is part of what makes the system work.

AIUI DPF regenerates naturally if the engine is loaded enough and automatic regeneration with extra fuel use is only necessary when that doesn't happen enough. 70 mph (~110 km/h) is only slightly faster than regular rural roads (though many are limited to 70 km/h), maybe average Autobahn trips at comfortable speeds (130-170 km/h [80-105 mph]) do make a difference here. I'm pretty sure I don't reach similar constantly high rpms (e.g. on my car 160 km/h in sixth is a bit above 2000 rpm) and loads on the engine in other driving situations.

I think the underlying question is whether you’re trying to score points or engage in honest intellectual inquiry and debate.
