That's the exact setup on macOS I run as well. I also run that way on my Linux development box (iTerm2 -> tmux -> ssh -> linux -> tmux (nested) -> emacs -nw --daemon) and it feels the same to me.

I run emacs-plus macOS variant, which one are you running?

No, the headline is too broad. They said that crypto trading doesn't give rise to capital gains (or losses) because crypto are not capital assets, and it's not personal income because it doesn't fall into any category of personal income.

But they said crypto trading could be business income, which is taxable. The question becomes: what amount of trading establishes a crypto trading "business"?
Well, you're right in the case of non-recurring crypto trading.

Now, in the paragraph B, it is said:

Now the exercise of the activity is determined by its recurrence and the goal of the activity to generate profit.
If there is a business or professional activity then the person would have to pay the IRS and would be required to comply with the reporting obligations, whenever you perform a sell or provide a service.

To me, doing some crypto-trading would easily fall in this definition and the IRS might come later saying "hey, you did multiple transactions over the course of X months, this looks like a professional activity"
1. Build a theme over Chromium

This is not a browser, this is a skin over Chrome with a business model that's built over a crypto scam. Your army of online shills and your attempts to connect yourselves with reputable online entities such as Wikipedia won't change that fact.

Unfortunate realities of 1) the difficulty of working on the Perl codebase combined with its unpopularity leading to few being both qualified and motivated for such a task, 2) a lack of corporate backing or visionary design purpose driving such features in the language, thus 3) being implemented almost entirely by one individual who had a long period of demotivation and sickness.
> I am approaching it like learning a new unit-test framework.

That's reasonable.

If you just take a step back from afl or libfuzzer and consider how you would test your product with arbitrary inputs, the critical steps that you have to take are pretty similar regardless of the framework.

It has to be noninteractive and it should ideally be something whose duration doesn't vary by many orders of magnitude (so you can set sane timeouts that you consider failures). It shouldn't have any nondeterminism or behaviors that consider other inputs outside of the ones generated by the fuzzing framework. It's great if you can avoid filesystem interaction.

>Now compare this to: if we got all our electricity from coal and natural gas..

But we don't use only those, so you are argument is moot.

You are ignoring my one point, storage is not working /right now/.

Yet you seem to think that it's viable to put more of the worst waste humankind has ever produced into a failing system.

Your link to thorium reactors are all "in the future", in planning or in test mode. Also, if all power is derived from thorium reactors (your quote says the waste is lowered by a factor of 2) then it's 19.75 grams of nuclear waste every year.

That is almost 7,000 /TONS/ [0] of nuclear waste every year, just from the US alone.

Consider how much this will be for India:

27,057 t (metric tons) every year. [1]

That number is mind boggling huge, and that waste /will/ pile up.

And how good is India's record on public safety? Every single year, growing and growing. Nuclear waste will kill the planet before anything else does.

Where will all the nuclear pollution be? In a giant pile waiting for storms, earthquakes, terrorists, corrosion, you name it... and then entire sections of the world will become unlivable.

Nuclear power is a dead end. It's a corporations wet dream for making money, not for saving the planet.

Yes, so it is not the lack of money that makes one unhappy (say, at ~$24k/yr and no health problems), but comparison to others and attachment to worldly things.

This is what causes people in the West who earn $35k and $350k alike to feel 'poor' despite the fact that even the former income is already in the global 99th percentile.
This kind of story makes me favor a blend of the policy proposals of Andrew Yang and Elizabeth Warren. We recognize that the current automated economy has hurt the little person (Yang), but, at the same time, recognize that a few super large corporations have created this situation (Warren).

So, I propose that all US residents receive $1000 a month directly from Google.
I don't believe in the mythical perfect software which has no bugs and which requires no warranty or support. You can't write complex pieces of software without requiring these things. By licensing exception I mean a dual-licensing sales scheme.

I agree "open source" is mostly a corporate bait-and-switch which is why I focus more on the "free as in free speech" aspect.
I think a distinction can be made between the two. The brain can manipulate symbols, but it's not clear that it's the symbol manipulation itself that causes consciousness. A computer simulation doesn't actually fire neurons, it manipulates symbols representing neurons(to us) in a way that could be interpreted as firing. Those two things are very different, despite the fact that they both use electricity. Again, there's a difference between a physical thing vs an accurate representation of a thing by other physical means.

As a thought experiment, would it be possible to create consciousness using pen and paper calculation? Perform the same calculations by hand, multithread it by using billions of people performing the same symbol manipulation we would have otherwise performed on the computer. I argue all that project would produce is a large stack of paper and ink. I would argue that it's not the act of manipulating symbols that gives rise to consciousness(since it's the only thing the computer and paper methods have in common), rather that something qualitatively different is happening in the brain.
SMCprog is a unique tool for working with Apple products. First of all, we created this device in order to simplify and speed up the work in our workshop. SMCprog is able to work with almost all Apple devices - be it an iPad, iPhone, iMac or Macbook.We paid special attention to SSD hard drives - SMCprog has the ability to restore damaged SSD drive firmware from Samsung, Intel, Intenso, Kingston and of course Apple. At the same time, there is no need to remove the controller chip from the SSD drive board or from the logic board of the computer (in case the hard disk is soldered on the logic board).The main and most unique feature of the SMCprog device is its ability to reprogramm Apple SMC chips and EFI BIOS chips with the ability to immediately enter the correct Serial Number of the repaired device. An important addition is worth noting is that all the necessary firmwares are pre-loaded into the device's memory - select the product, model, enter the serial number and start the programming process!In the fight for the right to repair, we could not ignore the function of the co-processor Apple T2, through which Apple wants to deprive us of this right. We managed to bypass the check for compatibility and originality of the components performed by the Apple T2 chip. With the help of SMCprog it is possible to completely disable the compatibility check (if necessary, it can always be enabled again). Now it is possible to remove EFI Lock password on all models, even with T2 chip.A rechargeable battery is an important element of any modern portable device. With the help of SMCprog, it is possible to reset the batteries of the entire Macbook family to the factory state. This feature allows you to extend the battery life up to 500 recharge cycles, as well as useful if one or more battery cells were replaced.For the iPad and iPhone product families, SMCprog also has a number of useful features, such as checking battery status, LCD screen testing, and Lightning power meter.Theseare not all the features of SMCprog - work on improving the device continues. We will continue to improve and expand the capabilities of our device. Together with the device you get access to regular software updates.

This seems unclear. Admins were banned from Discord for inviting people to your discord or were banned for inviting active members of your discord community to your WoW server?

Is the WoW server a bootleg? I'm not a WoW player so not sure what's out there, but I wouldn't be surprised if Discord-the-company was involved in something that might be considered anti-piracy actions.

The other question would be if they were doing something that would be detected as spamming, either for your discord community or the game. If the invites were sent via DM but were the only DM messaging between the admins and users they may well have tripped an automatic detection.
Google's App Store is failing miserably with both Type 1 (false negative) and Type 2 (false positive) errors. As a result, malware gets allowed in while reputable developers get kicked off.

And there's apparently no (real) appeal process. Once the robot decides it doesn't like you, you can't change its mind and it won't tell you why.

These problems are eminently fixable. But Google's app store desperately needs competition, some antitrust investigations, and probably some hefty class action judgments. Without those, Google has absolutely no motivation to fix the mess. With those motivations, Google could fix this overnight.
Brooks suppositions on essential tasks are not empirical at all. Otherwise they'd be incidental. And that's what the tarpit paper focuses on.

The tarpit paper is also not a prediction or forecast the way that the No Silver Bullet paper is. It reparameterizes and expands upon essential and accidental tasks and proposes a development framework to minimize accidental tasks.

The company I currently work for uses a code generation framework inspired by the ideas from the tarpit paper. It's very successful in simplifying and speeding up the development process.
Or all the Google properties, I believe YouTube has the biggest moat and the barrier to exit, for users if not creators, because of all the content on it.

Given that all this content is publicly available, And I believe there were some legal cases, such as LinkedIn v. HiQ one, which, IMNAL, but allowed scraping of public content, I wonder if an entity can legally scrape YouTube and provide non-Google access to it, while preserving creator's copyright?

I'd be more then happy to pay a fee if it means an actual human, who actually had access to all the case information, would actually review the appeal and provide a detailed personalized account of my crimes.

As a bonus, if my appeal is found to be genuine and my account reinstated I'd like that fee refunded.
A fair comment and thank you, duly noted.
Can anyone explain why Brave uses BAT? As far as I can tell Brave would be much better if they used USD instead.
Generally speaking, Advertisers aim to get better value for their buck, so to speak. In the early days of online advertising, it was not uncommon to pay for impressions that may or may not be set before the eyes of a relevant audience. Around 2009 the process of Real-Time Bidding was created, and advertisers began to get better value, but at the expense of an unethical auction process that took place for each ad-slot on a page.

With Brave Ads, advertisers know that they're reaching a party that is interested (Brave Ads are opt-in). Advertisers know that attrition of value due to fraud and middle-men is reduced in our model. Users know that they don't have to sacrifice privacy or security to participate, and that on-device machine-learning progressively delivers a better experience over time.
Oh, I wasn't aware of the lawsuit. That's ridiculous. Well in any case, I wrote a Userscript to restore direct links to Google image results, and also to filter out spam site results (cough e...-e...com), if anyone were interested: https://byuu.org/other/script/google

Middle-clicking or control-clicking will load the original images.

Bing direct links images as well so they'd probably go after Microsoft well before DDG, so I think we're safe. But I can always do the same for DDG if need be.
I just wonder, when you have a queueing system, can’t you use this for distributed logging?
No, an earlier ruling explicitly stated that crypto are not capital assets in Portugal.

In a nutshell, they are saying crypto is not a (foreign) "currency" but are treating it like cash, so a transaction isn't subject to VAT just because crypto is involved; the underlying transaction itself has to be VATable. So for example, if you sell a TV in crypto, it's subject to VAT because selling a TV in cash is subject to VAT, but if you exchange crypto for another crypto it's not because currency trades are not subject to VAT in Portugal.

Donating to individual websites is only possible in a few cases as it's a lot of hassle for the website operator to operate if it's a small site. Direct donations of a few cents would also won't be very effective because of the payment network fees involved.

I don't particularly like Brave but something that works on a higher level and is supported by sites seems to be an interesting experiment at least. If I click around on HN and 5 different newspapers ask me to sign up for their 15$/month subscription that can't be the future.
The performance boost you will see from an upgrade will blow your mind.
Agree, Brave should use DAI instead.

Insurance prices are spread across the entire risk pool though. Even if the entire pool is overall safer, the mean/median costs might still be higher than a larger, more diversified risk pool that can more easily subsidize low risk accounts by winning long-term bets against bigger risks.
I took a greyhound back from prison. We broke down in Cumberland, MD and I spent 8 hours on the side of the interstate. The guy I was with said he takes the route 3x a week and it has happened to him 6 times in the last year. No WiFi but we did have plugs.

> Other editor users simply have no concept of how easy it is to whip up some quick script to perform some task in emacs.

I don't want to start a flamewar, but I moved most things I was doing in Emacs to Textadept a while back because I found Textadept more convenient. That's not to say TA does everything you can do in Emacs, but it replaced all of the scripting I was doing with Emacs.

You have the full power of Lua inside TA. Emacs always has a lag when I start it up, whereas TA is instant. I slowly built up functionality inside TA to the point that I realized I could replace everything I was doing in Emacs.

It's so small and lightweight that, just for fun, I wrote a "web browser" inside TA. It calls out to lynx and loads a readable text version of the page. I use a keyboard shortcut to open links. I have functions for searching the web, I can search YouTube and open the videos in VLC, and so on. This was a practical thing to do: I can use TA as a browser on really old laptops.

It maybe isn't for everyone, but in Emacs when I was doing this[1] to duplicate a line:

C-a C-SPACE C-n M-w C-y

I asked why I wasn't using a better text editor. In TA, it's C-d. Just as Emacs is an interface for Emacs Lisp, TA is an interface for Lua, and with a lot less overhead.

This is THE Richard Stallman. He would be fascinating to hang out with and hear his thoughts.
We run 7 independent repair shops, so on its face this is great news for us. I did sign us up for this program, and we are beginning the process today of getting at least 1-2 people at all of our locations to be certified.

There is lots of good news here for us; the biggest being that we can get official parts...finally! Although aftermarket parts have come a long way. We now stock iPhone batteries that have larger capacity than the original. (Yes, truly a larger capacity. We do 30,000+ repairs a year...we are not messing around with batteries that just say they have a larger capacity.)

The biggest problem I potentially see is profit margins. AASP's have long struggled because Apple wants to squeeze all of the profit out of their business. If you pay $149 to get your iPhone 8 screen replaced, but Apple charges us $135 for the screen, we can't realistically make any money off of that.

We charge $69 to replace an iPhone 8 screen currently, so there's also a potential negative on the consumer side of having to pay more to get screens replaced. It does, however, appear that Apple will let providers in this program also offer third-party screens, which is a big change from the current AASP program.

All in all, as someone whose business is directly affected by this, I'm mildly optimistic. As long as Apple understands that repair shops need to be profitable too, this can be a really good thing for both sides.
It starts with "Zepel adapts to the way your software product team really works", which sounds great, but I can't tell what this means. This claim doesn't seem to be connected to anything else on the page.

The major selling point / complaint of Jira seems to be that it's too customizable. They're all different, and a bad manager can make your particular Jira instance unusable.

Is this one as customizable? Or is it inflexible? Or does it automatically "adapt" somehow? Does it assume that all teams work in the same way? I can't figure out what tradeoff it's making here.

The "JIRA Alternative" page says:

> "Because when you’re just a week away from shipping your feature, you should be tracking your entire feature. Not user stories and tasks."

which makes it sound like Zepel just picked a workflow. It "adapts" to you by assuming you already work in exactly the way it was designed.
Simple: incorrect attempts to spell "etc." annoy you, so you remember them unusually strongly.
In this analogy it sounds like google is a bus, which is... fine? Maybe not for you but what’s wrong with busses for those who don’t care about flexibility?
Mainly exposure to agriculture and corporate tax prep. Subsidies and tax minimization both have more straightforward approaches that you see everyone do as well as more arcane/rule-bending approaches.
I've noticed a divide between the workflows of emacs and vim users and I think it ties directly back to startup times. I'm an emacs user and, like you, I start it up once and keep it running indefinitely. Vim users tend to enter and exit the editor repeatedly during the day, typically alternating with their shell of choice.

Curious: what are some of the shortfalls you see in Chromium?

Before I joined Brave, the desktop browser was originally using Gecko (from Firefox). Ultimately, there were some problems and the decision was made to move to Chromium. On iOS, Brave is forked from Firefox though

You can check out more detail on Reddit where folks asked why FF was not used (which has links to more detailed info):

But there's a difference between simplifying and changing. This is a bit of a skill in itself: presenting simplified versions of information without misleading the learner.

When learning, I don't appreciate reading a description of something, thinking about it, generating my own conclusions, then finally reading forward to find I had been misled not by my own fault but by faulty explanations.

As an example, a book I read on SQL was narrated from the point of view of an employee at a startup and stated that indexes on views were efficient, but then eventually backtracked on that statement, saying that this is only true for materialized views.
