Race to the bottom was not a clear expression of what I meant. I meant that US would compete with other tax environments for lowest corporate taxes, which would drive down corporate taxes globally. The obvious implication is that the corporations then contribute even less to the governmental budgets. In terms of foreign policy, this has the problem of breaking solidarity with other countries. Actually, it seems that the whole idea is based on competition instead of cooperation, but given US policies today, that would be normal. What I'm wondering is would this pay off to the winner that would attract many corporations, but derive minimal taxes from them. What's the mechanism to profit from their operating within your administrative unit in that case?
This reminds me of one of the major causes of famine in Maoist China. A pressure to conform with top-down expectations ("is it getting done?") at the expense of reality ("yes it is"). Often we lie just to make others happy, but then sometimes reality catches up

I mean, being on the list doesn't matter until it matters. If nobody ever wants to harm you, being exposed doesn't matter. If anybody ever wants to, having given them material in the past will make your current day defense harder.

For some people, yes. I once got some feedback that my CV is incomplete, mostly because I didn't mention some stuff I consider I don't know good enough to mention. Turns out people with less experience on that topic were putting it on their CVs.

So.. Better safe than sorry?
Let me see if I can rephrase.

Robinhood solves a collective action problem for its users. Unbeknownst to some people, they are unsophisticated and cheap to provide liquidity to: market makers can trade with them and reliably offload their positions, reducing the risk premium necessary to make market making profitable. Robinhood advertises in a fashion that enables self-selection of unsophisticated buyers. Once the platform is sufficiently large, they can auction off the liquidity business. By regulation, the users can never be worse off than they would have otherwise been, because liquidity providers must run their bid-ask spread within the larger market's spread.

So Robinhood earns the difference in risk premium between the larger market and that of its user base, minus operating costs and profits of the liquidity provider.

I suppose the question is: what is the mechanism by which that profit margin can be transferred to users?

What Is an Advantage for Surrogacy?
I’ve been a passenger on a plane coming in to land from a long haul flight, in heavy crosswinds. The pilot aborted the landing just before touch down on the first attempt. You could see the plane rolling back and forth if you looked out of the window. The plane went up into a holding pattern before attempting and aborting a second time.

We were told there was some mild turbulence. I wouldn’t say it was mild, it felt pretty dicey the first time around. With the plane safely on the ground, I asked the crew and they confirmed as much.

Flash tried to do this 15-20 years ago. Flash was basically "here's a canvas, do whatever you want within reason". It had its use cases back then but the general web vastly preferred good old HTML and eventually CSS and JS.

There's a lot of value in having constraints, especially when those constraints (HTML) are specifically designed for displaying documents.

Strong language is fine on HN as it is in adult dialogue generally. It is often very effective at conveying emotion and emphasis, which was the case here.

The HN guidelines prohibit personal attacks and political or ideological battle (which includes attacks or inflammatory commentaries on gender, nationality, race, etc).

But using a curse word to convey strong displeasure towards a product from a giant corporation seems fine to me.
So, frontend tooling is freeing developers from mundane tasks and cognitive overhead at the cost of not strictly following standards and recommendations. The tooling could be improved to more closely follow standards, but maybe those standards ought not be followed? Maybe the standards need to evolve with real world use. DIV has broader applications than what a committee envisioned. Sites are running, business is accomplished, goals are met while not strictly adhering to antequated standards.

If I make a tool with an intended use but the world uses it in another unanticipated way, and they're happy about doing so, then that is a very fortunate accident. I then shape the next iteration of my tool around real world use.

Market makers sell liquidity, and the spread is the price they sell it at, so they'd prefer to sell at a higher price (larger spread). The reason that spreads tighten is competition: there are a few wholesale market makers, and the brokerages send more of their orders to the MM willing to guarantee the smallest spread. In fact, there's been something of a price war for the last few years, and retail spreads have come way down.

This is based on a faulty understanding of what sales is supposed to be (and what it is, when it is done well) - at any level, sales is primarily a discovery exercise (what does the customer want?) and working out if you can mostly fulfill those needs. This is hampered by a few things namely 1: commission structures, 2: customers not knowing what they want (regardless of what they might tell you) and 3: customers not wanting to admit what they want.

While there are some egregious examples, the rate at which a sales interaction is based on outright fraud is thankfully very small.

As for focusing on customer solution generation, I would highly recommend you spend more time working with customers before setting others up for that sort of torture.
If you make a mistake and you do so honestly, not out of malice and fix it, you are very unlikely to get a fine - you will get guidance and a warning. Unless you are being egregiously slip-shod.

Like Penn and Teller, it's always interesting to see a magic trick deconstructed. And it is a "trick" or a "routine", as much as anyone else's performance. It relies entirely on intelligence and the ability to think on one's feet, combined with a good memory of a stock of anecdotes that can be matched to the audience. Or at least a few stock ones that can be hammed up. The anecdotes mentioned (SHEEP and SHARK) are highly political, too, focusing on "EU regulations" and "health and safety"; mocking these is absolutely a staple of Johnsonism, and it goes down well with the soft-right and businessmen.

The haplessness is a routine that Brits absolutely love, and again it takes no small skill to be professionally hapless. This was also a staple of Wogan's performances; famously, for the big Children in Need telethons, he never did any of the rehearsals but came on and delivered a charismatic and funny performance - all night.

The problem is that Johnson is not applying for the job of chat show host, he's applying for PM, and this routine absolutely does not work on other EU leaders. He also appears to be entirely self-centered and amoral. Years ago having a daughter in adultery would have disqualified him ( https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/may/21/boris-johns... ), but in post-Trump times nobody cares.

http://www.harrowell.org.uk/blog/2017/12/11/the-two-cultures... : explores this concept at greater length. As a Cambridge alumnus I'm absolutely familiar with brilliance as a kind of performance. For those in that culture glib effortlessness is prized. An earlier example might be Enoch Powell's showboating on his Classical Greek paper - when asked to do a translation into Greek of a poem, he did two versions as pastiches of different Greek poets and then left early.
I disagree with this - the system we have is based on money and trust, which while gamed easily, is much less violent, brutal and inequal when compared to other systems that we've tried in the past - such as communism/socialism (the USSR still had a market, but it was based on how much political power you had, rather than pure money - a much more violent game), or feudal systems where it was all about how much land you were born into (or possibly conquered for yourself). Of all of the systems we've tried, this is probably the least sociopathic yet.
So Boris, the Oxford man, has an "Everyman" shtick that has wide appeal. Smart man.

Don't know why you are being downvoted, but at my gym I go through the same situation. Whenever I go into the change room/washroom, I go to the locker furthest from the dryer, meters away from it. It doesn't really matter since every time someone activates it, it sounds as if it blowing right next to me.
Which is an awful idea. Often times the dryer starting even before the water runs down.

Also it requires enough spacing not to blow onto the neighbor faucet(s).

Bottom-up = evolved. Its smaller feedback loops. Quicker iteration - live testing. Try everything until something works.

Top-down = planned. Its a larger cycle, but still a feedback loop. You need to re-analyze a system before you can maintain it. It involves human interaction or systems built by humans. Make changes until it works.

Its usually foresight / unintended consequences that we miss that nature has already been there, done that.

They're not recyclable. If they're made from recycled paper, their fibres will be too short, like tissue paper or toilet roll.

On top of that, people might be using it to wipe anything, which could potentially ruin the rest of the recycling.

If you're putting any of that into your recycling, you're doing it wrong.

Also, do not recycle any paper/cardboard with grease or food contamination, especially pizza boxes with grease on, they will also ruin a recycling run.
Well that's rather defeatist. Its also not correct.

I've done a lot of work in data linking, which I consider basically the same thing, albeit not with advertising or ad fraud as the necessary subject matter.

Now while its true that a lot of the things people do to lessen their fingerprint/signal is often not effective, its simply not true that such things are always a priori defeatable.

Theoretically, you have to do some combination of plugging the leaks, increasing the noise, or dropping the signal. And if you do that then signal becomes harder and harder to extract.

And its not even black and white like total win/lose. You could stop advertisers from finding out certain things, or change the relative value/cost of what's possible/profitable, or the degree of accuracy with which they can state certain things.

Indeed, for instance, if you can get regular people's actions and behaviours to look more and more like these bots or fraudsters, that likely lessens the effectiveness of their machine learning techniques...

Heroku has API call limits
Flash had several problems that should have been addressed differently. Among others:

- it was owned and controlled by a single company and thus a target for other companies instead of other companies helping to improve it

- that single company was unable or unwilling to fix security holes in the sandbox and browser makers eventually got fed up with that

- while there were some ways to interact with the underlying browser environment, ultimately a Flash instance lived in its own little bubble, creating usability problems

Putting the HTML+CSS layout engine into a separate module doesn't mean that it wouldn't remain the standard way of doing document-layouts on the web, it would just mean that higher-level solutions wouldn't need to use hacks and workarounds to map their concepts to HTML+CSS (same way as Javascript had to be used as a less-than-perfect compile target before WASM because it was the only option to run code in a browser).
