Nah, I would use the ZEV system. Where if you don't produce it how we like it you pay a penalty; a tax. (Zero Emissions Vehicle) credits.

The no physical existence loop hole is one worth closing, if you sell goods or services it should be taxed within the authority the sale occurs. That is common sense. However the second issue, what is digital and what isn't and how it can be taxed outside of the same point is a bit worrying, it basically sounds like, if we don't think you pay enough even following the rules you will pay this too.

just watch for the exceptions to pile on because you can guarantee members of the G20 will put them in there, similar to how states and cities whack large chains by looking at their full sales corporate wide instead of local sales.

Borgbackup is a fantastic piece of software. I've used it to backup so many different things over SSH, and it's always worked perfectly.

I'm still convinced that its dedupe is magical. I don't know if there's a backup app that is more frugal with disk space, but Borgbackup has served me well in a non-growing 1.5TB backup area for 3+ years now.
I just came here to remind everyone that while this kind of things go on, wordpress is still free both as in free beer and in free software.

You can use wordpress.con as a hosted platform, pay for full customisation or host your own.

And you can start at any tier and move freely from/to the remaining ones.

I think all this fuss is really dumb, people had the answer to their problems in front of you the whole time yet they ignored it because it was not “cool”.

I guess that’s what you get for relying on “service-as-a-software-substitute”.

Show HN: Geocoding and Map Tiles SaaS
Hi everyone,

We at NetToolKit are launching a new geocoding and map tile service and we would love your help. You can compare the accuracy of our geocoders against several others at https://www.nettoolkit.com/geo/demo and you can find out more about the service at https://www.nettoolkit.com/geo/landing.

We’re looking for help primarily in two areas: assessing the accuracy of our geocoder and figuring out what it would take to sign up customers. For the first area, anyone who is familiar with US addresses can help by visiting https://www.nettoolkit.com/geo/demo, geocoding an address, and then confirming a result or adding a new set of coordinates. The user-submitted information gets recorded, which helps us figure out where any gaps might be. (Outside of the US, we simply return OpenStreetMap results; inside the US, however, we have done a lot of custom work, including integrating OpenAddresses.io data and the National Address Database.)

For the second area, if you are in our target market (need geocoding services and/or map tiles and are cost-sensitive) or if you know someone who is, I’d really appreciate the opportunity to talk with you to understand what it would take for your team to seriously try out our services.

If you have any feedback on the website or the comparison tool or if you have advice on how to sell the service, we’d appreciate it (email in profile).

Thank you!

When writing C libraries, it's good form to be able to init your instance with allocation and logging function pointers. That lets you play nice with most any env you're being pulled into, and gives your consumers an obvious place for nice hooks for debugging.

Because they are the clear market leader in the category, have been for a long time, only recently falling behind Microsoft. (within the last 2 years of their 20 years as a company.) Give it a year or two to integrate into Salesforce and they will be neck and neck. This is just as much a bailout to Tableau to save them from being dwarfed by Microsoft.

This happens regularly for regular cell towers. Even major operators can get hit. It can usually be solved within days even if not advertised in advance, but that's for those major operators who can afford to put up a lot of towers or micros.

>Payed subscriptions to news-websites/magazines are also not advertising free.

All I ever hear about in regards to news websites is that they're dying out because no one wants to pay for subscriptions, and the arms race is getting worse as many of them have strengthened their paywalls so that non-paying viewers can't see the articles (while others develop workarounds for the paywalls).

Magazines, like newspapers, also seem to be dying out, though not as fast as the print newspapers.

Maybe companies should rethink this business model.
I'm not the OP but having dealt with QuickSight it really feels super flaky and difficult to create graphs with. I can't remember the exact problems my co-worker had problems with it, but if I recall correctly one of the problems was that QuickSight expected all JSON data keys in S3 to be in the exact same order in every file thus making changing the schema a very huge pain in the butt. Also the UI itself is not good and creating eg running monthly average was very non-intuitive. A lot of small stuff that makes you not wanting to deal with it if possible. But it's cheap and has good AWS integration so I guess it has its purposes.

I see - I assumed your top level comment was talking about something after v3, since that's already out. It would be interesting to see which sites have already implemented it. Maybe there's a userscript or something that can detect it in the page?

Personally I'm skeptical it will ever work correctly for me without tinkering, because I block third party requests (especially to Google) by default.
I think it's notable that none of the "winners" are European tech startups. They're all from the US. One could argue that because the US focuses on innovation and Europe seems to be focusing on legislation that the latter will always be chasing the former.

If instead of making it more difficult to build technology products, Europe focused on making it easier maybe the would be able to provide some much needed competition to the US tech scene. They seem more determined to tear down value than create it though. In the end, it will be their own citizens suffering though lack of tech jobs available in their market (c.f. the going rate for a full time engineer in the US vs Europe), lack of innovative tech that caters to local needs and ultimately lack of tax revenue from local companies.
That is how much the market values data, but markets are not the ultimate decider of worth. Additionally, different participants in markets place different values on the goods being traded, otherwise trade would be useless - the participants consuming our privacy right now value that privacy incredibly cheaply.
Seems reasonable that you could choose to be disembodied.

You would still benefit from having a point location in the meeting room. That’s one of the basic improvements VR gives you over videoconferencing. Maybe two floating eyes (for gaze direction and eye contact) plus some canned emoji-style gestures?

My point is you, as a person for whom current gen VR is enough—no eye or body tracking needed—are atypical. Most workers need body language and eye contact to communicate effectively.

I think the commonly held doxa is that company should pay (some of their) taxes where they make profit.

In the case of sales this would be more clear cut. But Facebook profits from user in a country through ads, which do not necessarily need to be purchased in that country. It's just that these things antecedes the internet and the omnipresence of digital goods and services.

> So all I’m saying is try it. If you have and it didn’t work, fine. But you’ll never know if you don’t try.

This is good advice, especially when -- as others in this thread have mentioned -- blue light exposure may be making artificial night owls out of larks. I personally have tried this without success. I use f.lux to avoid making my situation any worse.

> Also if you say you are so very tied to signals for the sun.

That's not quite what I said, but I understand why that was your takeaway.

> What happens in the summer when it’s light out from 6am to 9pm? Do you also start waking up earlier? What about in winter when it’s light only from 9am to 4pm? How do you cope?

This is a good question. I would categorize this under "second-order effects", because I'm certainly delayed year-round, and I haven't noticed any obvious seasonal variation. It would be interesting to see whether earlier dusk correlates with going to sleep earlier more easily. Thanks for the idea!

> What do you do if you live in Finland and it’s light out for 6 months? Do you just not sleep?

Like I said, the circadian rhythm is just one mechanism the body uses to regular sleep. Another is the build-up of adenosine accrued while awake. Mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the book "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker is a wonderful exploration of the complexity of our sleep subsystem.

As for myself, although I've never lived in Finland, I have been a grad student living like a hermit in a room with almost solely artificial lighting. My sleep cycle starts to wander: every "night", I go to bed later and later, and wake later and later. It sometimes got to the point that I would wake at 4pm and sleep at 7am -- and eventually I would cycle back around to a lark's early morning schedule. This is pretty consistent with experiments in which people live underground and never see light, although it's certainly not so extreme as the results they saw.

(This, by the by, is also how I know what my natural sleep period is when unconstrained by scheduled obligations: nine hours. I've noticed that seven hours is the absolute minimum I need to be remotely productive the next day, and even then I'm likely to do low-effort things like discuss sleep on Hacker News.)
Indeed. Traffic served from 0.0.0.0 can be seen from other machines. Traffic on 127.0.0.1 or localhost cannot. Important to know when you’re doing local development vs a local demo.
The businesses are coming with requests that require complex SQL on millions of records of data that normally is sitting in various sources (warehouse, salesforce, etc.). Unless you hire expensive data engineers, you can't do this type of work reliably. You can stick things together with expensive GUI oriented prep tools like Alteryx, but you pay in reliability and, quite frankly, sleep. And forget IT, IT is so stuck in their ways that you'd be waiting years for each analysis + you'd spend 10x what you should.

15-20 minutes for a high-priority FCM message isn't normal.

Either your app is being rate limited by the server, or there's something unique about your network setup that is preventing push messages from getting through. There's not enough context here to know what's going on.

(Plenty of instant messaging apps use high-priority FCM messages, and get near instant delivery.)

i shifted from Chrome to Firefox a few months ago. been facing this super-slow Captchas. I simply assumed this is due to some network slow / server slow / browser slow. I didn't even bother to go back to Chrome to compare this.

Damn Google. what happened to your "Don't be evil" beginnings ?

False positives can be actively harmful. Unnecessary biopsies lead to unnecessary infections and stress and such.

Privacy is not an extra or a luxury thing, it is a right. If we keep this comoditization process in some years we are going to talk about an antidiscrimination price, or a true information price.

Life of Machine
Actually I suspect this won’t go anywhere - I recall a story that reached HN a few years ago from the (I think) N.Y. subway where a wanted criminal attacked (and stabbed) someone and the police literally just stayed on the other side of a door while watching and doing nothing. The attacker was eventually subdued by the other passengers. When they were taking to court they were found to have done nothing wrong: the opinion said something along the lines of “police are not required to intervene”, eg stopping attempted murder is apparently not part of their job requirements. Yet they have tasers and guns “to stop crime”

Putting the Mac Pro’s Price into Historical Context
Most of the "no duty to act" precedent revolves around normal cops on patrol who witness crimes and don't stop them or who don't show up expediently when a crime is called in. Being tasked with securing a school likely establishes a specific duty do do that job regardless of whether or not there's other state law establishing that duty.
the perjury charge about the gun shots is the only one founded in law, the rest are , lets try to word it a certain way so he can be charged. Culpable negligence might float under Florida's wording.

the danger is twisting criminal statute to prosecute someone who probably be held accountable but there is no clear cut law they can be charged with that meets the satisfaction of grand standing prosecutors, media, and judges. Yes, they are grand standing here. They need to blame someone, not the system, and they have a candidate.

Avoiding negligence doesn't conventionally require you to endanger your own life. This seems a proxy for creating a "desertion" or "dereliction of duty" charge within policing.

If the expectation of assuming a policing role is to put your life on the line in situations where that can be avoided, then that should be made explicit, and enforced with a similar doctrine as with military law.
A CT is about 1 rem of exposure. It takes 2500 rem to cause a cancer (the linear approximation). So every 2500 CT scans you have given someone cancer.
