IQ being 'a load of crap' doesn't follow from some journalists glib (and incorrect) claim. What is more, if it were true and the IQ differences were such that todays average measured as a genius then, if you were to witness someone ace the test, you could reasonably hail them a genius at least in the colloquial sense.
The tax could be revenue neutral and achieve the same goal.

And being "radicalized" is a bad thing per se?

It's not a bad thing per se. It's good if it's a good person. It's bad if one is a jerk.
Well, don't know for these stablecoins but to me the "normal crypto" meaning bitcoin is very easy to understand and use. It is like commodity nowadays - it is up to the user whether to use it for scetchy things or for normal things.

To get laid off and not fired the company usually has to be performing badly and closing offices, downsizing or something along those lines. For you to be laid off you personally have to be seen expendable in whatever spreadsheet the higher ups are looking at.

Getting fired is much easier, but depending on where and how you get fired there could be some lost benefits like holiday pay, long service leave, etc.
He did the filing with the tax form that company sent. I think the exchange he transferred from was sketchy or not confirmed. In that case, when you sell, they show the full price.
I believe it's not as clear cut as that. I believe that in many jurisdictions there are various rules that allow trading within certain assets classes to not be treated as a taxable event for capital gains purposes unless you trade outside the class back to a regular currency. The taxable event can occur only when you realise the profit or loss.

Whether this is the case with crypto currencies is all dependent on how your particular jurisdiction has chosen to classify crypto. Or often just your best guess if your particular jurisdiction hasn't been clear on the classification as many haven't.

Another nitpick, openshift is not a repackaging but a fork of Kubernetes pure and simple, if you look at the origin you'll see those merge patch they do on every Kubernetes releases
The exchanges don't collect taxes. Tax office probably requested information from the exchange and the exchange complied, and the tax office calculated the total amount withdrawn as taxable. The idea that an exchange would be calculating taxes is ridiculous.

There's a great Imax film called Dark Universe were Neil deGrasse Tyson explains how it's likely that if an observer in the vicinity of Earth were to travel to the furthest point in space that we can observe, they would see the exact same thing in all directions that we see from Earth. They would see beyond our Earthly visible region of the universe and see more universe beyond it. If the observer travelled further again, they would again see the same thing in all directions. Basically we can only see so far, but it's likely no matter how far you travel in the universe, you'd just see more expansive universe in all directions. None of this is proven of course but it's an interesting and plausible idea.
Your proposal is the closest thing to the best solution I have seen. It still has at least several issues:

* When Zoom is already installed:

- should be able to handle most instances

- needs to account for version management, eg installed version zoom could still be version that is too old to process the uri correctly. Version could be in the uri.

When Zoom is not installed:

- an information dialog needs to be somehow shown to the receiving user, asking them if they want to install 'Zoom'.

- that screen must include the 'uri' and validate certificates etc to prevent abuse (hence must necessarily be 'ugly' and not 'seamless')

- the language on that dialog has to be provided by the OS/Browser, not the software vendor, to prevent abuse. For similar reasons the Windows UAC dialog text can't be written by the vendor.

- the language employed by the OS/Browser has to of necessity be fairly neutral, neither encouraging nor discouraging installation, to prevent abuse. This is necessarily at odds with the UI principle of leading the inexperienced user through clear steps to achieve their intended goal.

- the user of average-to-lower-quartile experience, as of 2019, for a product with a client base of 40 million+, is likely not in a position to meaningfully distinguish a legitimate Zoom install uri from a malicious / imposter one. Hence any popular software using this install-from-uri-handler becomes an appealing target for malicious actors to mimic, which they will.

- some proportion of users will likely install from malicious links, and whichever product (let's say Zoom for example) is the most likely software for malicious actors to masquerade as will become the name associated with the attack in the mind of the wounded public

An interesting phenomenon I rarely see brought up in support of panspermia is the apparent universality of the genetic code. The fact that all known life shares a common genetic structure implies a common ancestor. The lack of competing genetic codes could be interpreted to imply that life only started on earth once, or that it only made it to earth once. Natural selection is a constant force, presumably new genetic codes could offer an advantage, e.g., robustness against damaging mutation, resulting in multiple competing genetic codes.

The notion of abiogenesis occurring only once on earth seems improbable considering complex organs like eyes have evolved independently several different times. Or the fact that convergent evolution "reinvents" similar species in response to similar selective pressures. Selective pressures constantly "push" life in the same directions, so it would seem that whatever forces gave rise to life would have happened so repeatedly, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence for that.

A clean explanation for this would be that life didn't start on earth, and earth may have never had the right conditions to originate life, hence no competing genetic codes. But it was still hospitable enough to maintain life, so one universal genetic code flourishes with no emergent competition.
Even ignoring engineering, there is already preimplantation genetic screening with in vitro fertilization to screen out chromosomes with known heritable defects.

I don’t pay expensive excise taxes, passenger service fees or “security” fees when I’ve taken a train. Yet air travel is taxed to hell and back. I get it, anti-air is the cause du jour, but until there is a train from SFO to Paris that wouldn’t take 20 days, it makes no sense to tax air travel so heavily. Air travel has had the biggest impact on connecting the world than almost any other tech aside from the internet. I would be tar and feathered among a certain crowd for saying this, but I love air travel and if it causes the temperature to rise .25 degrees over the next 50 years, so be it. Airplanes represent freedom. Taxing mobility is taxing freedom itself. Take a train from Marseille to Berlin and then one might appreciate how important air travel is. It’s trendy to oppose air travel but it’s like being opposed to ocean pollution and subsequently banning toddlers from peeing in the water at the beach.

If the entire world went to nuclear power tomorrow, the climate impact of air travel wouldn’t even be a rounding error. Power generation is the biggest contributor to pollution. Airplanes are barely a few percentage points and airplanes in France have such an infinitesimal influence on world climate that the whole exercise is a joke and smacks of self-congratulatory virtue signaling more than any actual solution. Remember the politics here: the cheminots in France have extraordinary power: they can shut down the country on a whim — anything that harms air travel directly benefits one of the most powerful unions in France.
Replacements don’t exist. Those old prop liners can operate off unimproved dirt strips, grass, even snow and ice - and off short runways too.

Jets don’t like that.

For back country missions the only thing maybe better than a DC-3 is a Basler... and that is a modernized DC-3 with reinforcements and turboprops for more power. They suck a lot more fuel than a plain DC3 though, which can be problematic as some of these fields they have to fly fuel in.
Think about it this way. Your code says a.b().c().d(). But then you discover that 'a' actually has method d() whose implementation is "return this.b().c().d()". In other words

a.d() <=> a.b().c().d()

Which call should you make?

Obviously a.d(), not only because it is shorter but because it makes your code independent of the fact whether a.b() returns something that understands c() which returns d() whose result is what you want.

a.d() is better code then than a.b().c().d() because it makes fewer assumptions about the rest of the system.

Now assume such a.d() does NOT exist. Would it make sense to create it? Yes because THEN you will be able to write better code by more simply writing a.d() .

Now there is a cost to writing a new method a.d(). But typically that cost is not much because its implementation is simple "return this.b().c().d()" .

But then you realize b().c().d() should be replaced by b.d() to follow the Law of Demeter again. So you actually must pay the price of writing two new methods if you want to follow Demeter. Is it worth it? It depends on how much you value maintainablity vs. having to write less code right now.

My guess is that following Demeter is almost always better.

I have noticed this as well. The US govt is trying to send a message by declassifying this stuff, it's just hard to infer what that is.

Maybe it's to let foreign adversaries "know that we know" that they're watching us.

Maybe deflecting something deeper about these craft, my guess is that they're nuclear powered.

Or, it could be real. Maybe ET is watching us. I find this the least likely explanation though

If a sale is reported to the IRS and the exchange doesn't know (or doesn't report) the cost basis of the coins then the person who sold the Bitcoin is responsible for reporting their cost basis. If they didn't report a cost basis then the IRS is going to come back and assume it's zero.
9 euros isn’t the actual cost: it’s a loss leader for selling you other stuff for the flight. Also, that 9 euros doesn’t include taxes. Conversely, why are train tickets so expensive? Perhaps trains are overtaxed, or maybe less efficient?

The Flynn Effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect) is well known and a 100 IQ person toady may well have been considered as a genius by a significant number of people back then:

> Ulric Neisser estimated that using the IQ values of 1997, the average IQ of the United States in 1932, according to the first Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scales standardization sample, was 80. Neisser states that "Hardly any of them would have scored 'very superior', but nearly one-quarter would have appeared to be 'deficient.'" He also wrote that "Test scores are certainly going up all over the world, but whether intelligence itself has risen remains controversial."

Is it really that hard to imagine modern nutrition, abundance and education has produced smarter people compared to a group that ate bread and dripping for dinner and left school at 14 and had an education even more focused on rote memorization?
Ask HN: What impact will Starlink (satellite internet) have on China?
Starlink will be able supply internet to anywhere in the world, making geography largely irrelevant. Users will need a terrestrial receiving station, but these could be cheap to produce.

China has the “great firewall” (GFW) filtering its internet, operating at chokepoints of terrestrial connectivity, i.e. the points where physical wires exit China.

What impact will the availability of satellite internet services like Starlink have on internet filtering regimes like the GFW?

We haven't even scratched the surface.

It's not average intelligence that matters, it's how many outliers are we getting. Outliers make scientific break-throughs that trickle down to the masses.

That's what matters.

We're in the best spot of all time in terms of number of outliers, simply due to the population being the highest ever. Now it's a matter of realizing that potential.
I'm not saying we should cease treating sick animals. I'm saying only treat the sick animals individually after diagnosing them. If that's not practical then let's change farming practices until it is.

(I'm not a farmer. I have no idea what the impact of this practice would be. However, as a naive person I definitely would strongly prefer to reserve the medicinal powers of antibiotics for humans or individually-sick animals, not huge animal populations.)
I mean even if the exchange messed up and took out more tax than they should have, he would just fix that at tax filing time and get a refund.

If the exchange was overseas/super sketchy it's possible that the exchange just plain stole some of his money and claimed it was "for taxes."
If you are running a network disconnected from the internet, it follows logically that you'll have to reconfigured the normally internet-anchored security mechanisms on end-devices. You always have the option of using another app for this too.

Unless you’re suggesting something very unusual, I don’t think Perot and Jobs had what is normally described as “romance”.
As a former DBA and closet python super fan I found this post to follow all the things I would have done. Kudos to the op.

Loading to a temp non-logged table is the right way to go and using built in bulk loading options is smart, too. The type annotations looked really good and kudos for using modern python here (although for the examples I’m not sure they were needed, but being that they could have been used in a larger context that this article was just a microcosm if I could be wrong). Very good article. I’ve bookmarked the blog to consume other such articles.
And stories about flat earth.
I think "Bromance" more accurately translates to just "Close Friendship". Which seems even worse to me - forget romance, we even see a simple close friendship between two men as "unusual" enough to warrant a separate term.
That’s more of a reason not to trust anything ever. If leaders change for the worse, your investment in the company gets screwed no matter how well they’d done previously. And that investment can be stocks or it can be data, to give an example which you can’t just pull.
The workload isn't public, but if you follow the same ratio of FS operations (60+% getBlockLocations (file stat), etc), you will get similar results. You can even assume that operations follow that distribution uniformly, although there will be bursts of different op types - in the paper, we added microbenchmarks for each FS operation to show their load on the system.
That distribution is in the paper and Salman's thesis.
It is yet another (and much easier) question whether we should be gambling with the habitability of the one and only planet available to us, especially when technological advances are beginning to offer a way out.

I’m not a UFO-interested person, but some of the news around this stuff is just... bizarre. For example, this patent[1] from the secretary of the navy activated last Friday for “Craft using an inertial mass reduction device”?

The circumstances around the patent are even more intriguing. Here’s a quote from a patent lawyer here on HN regarding this patent[2]:

Whether or not the named inventor was a crank, and whether or not the invention was equally frivolous, this was a patent prosecuted by a Navy attorney, vouched for by the Navy CTO, and pushed through under atypical circumstances, in a public forum.
