From all the US satirical cartoons I have seem they seem rather crude and tame compared to the UK and still rely rather old tropes that always seem to require labelling "oh look its the cat with $ signs for eyes and labelled "wall street"

whereas in the UK a cartoon might make a reference to a cartoon from 50-60-70 years ago and you would be expected to understand the reference with out labelling

Tax is undeniably complicated, and I have no firm opinion what is better, and I'm often shocked when people do. The regressive nature of a sales tax is bad, but then, income tax is so easy to avoid. We all need things, making sales tax almost unavoidable, and what's the point of being rich if you can't spend it?

The problem with income tax is that it encourages the richest to run scams where the ROI is "cost of accountant + tax saved < expected tax = do it". If your income exceeds $100,000, it is almost guaranteed to be worth it to hire expensive lawyers.

Then there are the terrible scams like the one I read (which I can't confirm) where startup founders with public companies receive a minimal income, like $1 per year, and instead borrow their yearly requirements against the value of their shares. That could be $10M tax free - it is borrowing so it isn't income - and a sales tax starts to look like a pretty good idea! That'd be $1M in tax on a sales tax of 10%, vs $0.

Anyway, like I said, tax is complicated!

It's a tax on "luxuries" as I understand it. I'm just not sure yet how putting food on your table is supposed to be a luxury.

The hard part is that in theory, healthier, "natural" food (e.g. fresh fruit and vegetable) should not have VAT, but it's just more expensive anyway than cheap processed food that's had "value added" by the process.

Sure, but putting the burden of existence on another human to alleviate one‘s existential pain doesn‘t make the problem go away, it only puts it on others that had no say in their own creation. Overall it increases the amount of suffering (unless we‘re talking about adoption in the case of the child, too).
One word: Splatoon.

Well-made motion controls (to the point that motion controls from any other shooter feel terrible) really feel like mouse-level precision for Splatoon.

On the other hand, Splatoon is a third person shooter so it may not translate too well to a first person shooter, although you do get first person perspective when using a Charger, the game's terminology for a sniper weapon, with a scope. Not only that, but I remember the addition of motion controls to the Switch port of Doom being considered such a huge upgrade it might as well have been a new game.

I'm with you on auto-aim being a sad hack. Having been a rabid Splatoon player for the past four years, I tried Overwatch on PS4 and just gave up after a while — I don't want my performance tied to arthritic finger bending to try and convince the game to auto-aim for me, I just want to point and shoot as I've been able to do very accurately with the Wii U GamePad and any Switch controller, especially when the PS4 controller supports motion control.

IMO, to hide true traffic you'd need to run a constant steam of noise requests, in which the real visits would be undiscernible. And the noise might need to be non-uniform, unpredictable and still follow the patterns of normal traffic, so it can't be filtered out.
I use the ‘smart’ gates at Melbourne regularly. You insert your passport, stand in front of a camera, and one assumes that your current photograph is compared to that of your passport. If they’re the same, you pass.

I fail to see the privacy implications. I’m already giving someone my passport details – I must do that to enter or exit the country. That passport already contains my photograph. What privacy am I losing by having my photograph taken at the airport?

I say this as a very privacy-conscious individual. I block ads, don’t use Facebook, etc. I fail to see the further loss of privacy in this case, over and above the mandatory scanning of my passport.

Assuming you're not being facetious, the optional "have your facial scan data uploaded to dubious parties" choice is not presented as optional, and implied consent is the default for all fliers.

This would be similar to an "opt-out" instead of "opt-in" checkbox on a "let us harvest your data" disclaimer, except that the checkbox is at 0% opacity so you don't know it's there.

I'd say this kind of noise is too irrelevant for adtech income to spend even 1 engineer quarter on filtering it.

Indeed. If I buy a gun or a car or a TV I pay sales tax. If I sell it I have to collect sales tax and then pay income tax on the sale despite buying it with money that was already taxed once. If I buy stocks I pay no tax at all unless I manage to sell them at a profit, which is insane. Treat stocks like any other property: collect sales tax on the purchase and then income tax on the gross revenue after selling them regardless of whether you made a profit.
I’m not certain of the particular setup here (per airport thing) but I’ve never had them scan my passport at the gate in a US Airport, only at Immigration checkpoints for international travel and TSA.

This is especially true for domestic travel as well.
> Every country can (and does?) ban some books from publication... Picking out Apple for book censorship is wrong.

That's Apple who has made this possible. If it was doing no distinction between countries (e.g. Google seemingly has just one Play store globally) then it would be not a party to blame.

By the way the book I wanted was free and not on any sensitive subject. Some kind of science fiction. I've just stumbled upon a Twitter post saying there is a curious new scifi book available for free in Apple store, so I've taken my wife's iPad and tried to get it but it said it was only available in the US store (we live in Europe).

> Most of the programs should by default use syslog

Is that still true today? Docker wants you to log to stdout, so that's what most newer applications do. systemd also wants you to log to stdout, and will redirect stdout to journald/syslog automatically. In fact, an application that only logs to syslog can turn into a minor headache when you want to dockerize it. Which is why stuff like https://github.com/sapcc/syslog-stdout exists.

I'm having a related problem with another project that I'm working on where I wrap an OpenLDAP server. It would be much easier to properly wrap it if OpenLDAP would just log to stdout instead of bypassing me and going for the syslog. Maybe at some point I'll set up a separate mount namespace for it to pass a /dev/syslog shim into it. But this shows that the log-to-stdout pattern is much more Unix-y because it composes better.

My impression is that a lot of companies are moving away from off-shoring. It's cheaper on paper, but you introduce a communication hurdle and sometimes you simply get what you pay for.

I propose peer-to-peer networked browsing. Whenever someone else visits a website, it loads on your browser, with your cookies. Their browser anonymously and securely sends the URL to your browser. It runs in the background, loading fully rendered web pages headlessly. And also these URLs never make it on to your browsing history. In fact you do not ever see the URLs at all, for the privacy of the network. They exist only for the trackers.

Solved.
The apps runs for about a couple of minutes. The only way it can be sending data is over WiFi (I've seen it running on a friend's phone who didn't create a second user). The phone had gigs of data.

Going through one right now.

I am old and confident in my skills as a developer. Many of my peers are young and utterly lack the confidence I take for granted.

Part of being confident (different than arrogant), and old, is that you have a kind of honesty about your capabilities and the technologies in which you work from experience solving certain problems. You know what is easily capable and what isn't. You know what is necessary and what isn't. You don't need tools, frameworks, gimmicks, or black magic to write your code for you. In many cases you would rather just write an original solution for a given problem because there is a very good change it will be less code, execute faster, and takes less time than dicking around with a bunch of dependencies and their configurations.

Another part of getting old is a loss of sensitivity. Either you have moved passed hard problems and grown callous to things that are no longer challenging or your career is stuck stagnating. Let's call that battle scars. This doesn't mean empathy is gone, but it does mean you have lost patience for people who either don't try or make everything an emotional event.

I found the culminating collision between old confident developers versus less confident, possibly more sensitive, developers boils down to RTFC (Read The Fucking Code). Here are some frustrating scenarios:

* A developer is particular about code style and so they don't RTFC and then misunderstandings occur.

* A developer is intimidated when a file contains greater than X lines of code and so they don't RTFC and misunderstandings occur.

* A developer refuses to do work without a certain API, framework, or tool and so they refuse to RTFC causing defects to slip into production.

* A developer doesn't know what they are doing and make an incomplete attempt to RTFC but refuses to ask questions in order to achieve clarity.

* A developer doesn't know what they are doing and finds a piece of code challenging so instead of RTFC they blame everything else, such as coworkers or the programming language, on their failures.

* A developer is largely code illiterate and so they pretend to RTFC and then lie about their assessment.

This is an existential crisis for me, because I am tired of dicking around with dishonest insecure people whose only professional goal is to achieve easiness (not simplicity). I have a fancy job at one of the largest and most profitable public companies in the US and I am in the process of giving this up and relocating for a change of pace.

This may be true but the end game for governments is to have facial recognition everywhere. They start at the airport because "it doesn't matter, you are already giving your info out" and then we become OK with the idea so they start rolling it out for public transport and "it doesn't matter, you already do this every time you fly"

It seems to me that the only way to resist is to take a very hard rejection of facial recognition entirely in any situation.

I am not much experienced with stoicism, so I can't say.

My reasoning is that a crisis is generated by an unpleasant situation that may be difficult to identify, thus the feeling of powerlessness. By looking for what you want - or don't - out of life, and in an ideal situation (in front of death, a very personal thing where you don't have to deal with habits, job, or any external pressure), you can identify the elements in your life that suit you or don't, and act on it.

Steam GPU Survey: Nvidia GTX 1050/1050 Ti Gain, RTX 2060 and 2070 in Green
It’s my personal opinion and it’s based on my lecture of ReactOS code at the time I downloaded it (circa when I wrote my reply on Quora). I think anyone who can read C code can reach similar conclusions just by eyeballing the code in ReactOS and the code from the leaked Research Kernel, that can be found for example on GitHub. As a matter fact, someone on this thread did just that and it did not take that person very long (just minutes) to find some of the similarities that I, for one, qualify as troubling. It should not be a problem for anyone to repeat the experiment, all code is available for download. So why not go ahead and see that code with your own eyes? I think it’s highly improbable that a reimplementation of that magnitude came so close from the original in so many respects. I’ve been conducting interviews for years and screened some of the best and most promising future engineers coming from the best universities and I always ask the same coding questions. I was given many decent and correct answers, but never the actual implementation was similar to the level I can observe between ReactOS and the leaked Microsoft code. In fact every candidate wrote very different answers to the very same question, some even had very different approaches to the resolution of the same problems. I cannot explain how a team of people on a hyper-complex open source project can write nearly the same code - the source code looks very similar down to peculiar formatting idiosyncrasies - as a separate team of developers of the original closed-source project, just from observing the external behavior and/or reading the documentation, if available at all. I think this is impossible.
If you use the same backend... no. They are both native languages with "no room below".

llvm vs icc could be a hit, but that's all really.
At Immigration: Scanned, no, Photographed, yes. (So depending on your definition)

At TSA, They scan the first page of passport (or local ID) and usually Full body scan. So in the strict sense of facially scanned no.

At the gate (until now), neither. They would scan the boarding pass and eyeball the passport if international.

Again the point here is that in the first two instances these are Government agencies doing the scanning. At the third, the Government no longer has anything to do with it.

The question with this stuff is how and where are Airlines (private companies) getting a database of biometric data and what are they doing with it?
