The wealthy also receive the lions share of benefits from stability and especially international infrastructure maintained by the US state.

Some would argue that taxes are different because of the issue of fairness in society, and for the fortunate who have vastly more than needed to survive, more should be expected to help everyone else. This is in the self interest of the wealthy, as economic growth is actually stunted by inequality.

There are other ways to balance fairness other than progressive taxation, but those too are often anathema to ruling economic policy makers.
I think this is going to change radically in the next few years as the big banks wake up to the stranded assets problem. In fact, from what I understand it is already happening inside the banks, but hasn't worked its way up to where the decisions happen.
It depends on your goals and how much you trust the people you're communicating with (or the medium) to not turn your words against you.

"I should always speak in an uncensored fashion" is, honestly, one of the poison memes of the modern internet. It's never been wise in any human interaction, and moving to the Internet didn't change that fact. It did, for a brief time (until de-anonymization and search caught up with the technology available) let people obfuscate opinion origins behind a sea of anonymity and momentarily disrupt the words from the responsibility of having reputation tied to them. But when you go looking at the most anonymity-enabling communications channels on the Internet, you don't exactly find humanity at its best. Words divorced from reputation have yet to be proven as a net positive. Hell, even on Hacker News, our handles have karma points attached.

We social creatures developed concepts like "reputation" and tools like "memory" for a reason, and it wasn't a bad reason. Like any tools, they can be abused or over-applied, but no; saying exactly what you think all the time isn't virtuous (it is yet another tool, which can be abused or over-applied).
Most of those are higher risk than interest on cash or TIPS (not all government bods are safe) ask the shareholders of Thomas Cook or Going back a bit Enron about risk.

The food literally created due to political beliefs?

"The story of corn flakes goes back to the late 19th century, when a team of Seventh-day Adventists began to develop new foods to adhere to the vegetarian diet recommended by the church. Members of the group experimented with a number of different grains, including wheat, oats, rice, barley and maize. In 1894, John Harvey Kellogg, the superintendent of the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan and an Adventist, used these recipes as part of a strict vegetarian regimen for his patients, which also included no alcohol, tobacco or caffeine. The diet he imposed consisted entirely of bland foods. A follower of Sylvester Graham, the man cited as inspiration of graham crackers and graham bread, Kellogg believed that spicy or sweet foods would increase passions." [0]

> Sure he can. Google bailed on China once. Apple certainly has the money and talent to do the same.

Google didn't have much of any foothold into China when it dropped. It was also purely based on software which can be toggled off relatively easy (then you just have to wind down offices).

All of Apple's products require China to produce. All of them.

> Would he? Why do you assume that this would be bad for it share price, or that the majority of shareholders would be against it?

The majority of their manufacturing and assembly is in China. China is their big growth market. Not only would it tank the share price by cutting out their huge growth opportunity but it's completely within China's power to stop almost all of their production.

The stock market reflects what wallstreet things will grow. When you stagnate your share price drops (there is no reason to hang onto it if you won't become more profitable).
If he bought it off eBay, it's not a legal copy in the USA. Software is licensed, not sold; and software licenses are nontransferrable.
Paying taxes is not "buying the government" and paying higher taxes is not buying "more" of it, or buying it in bulk. For starters: bulk rates are lower, in part, as an incentive to get people to buy more of a product at once. Since paying taxes is (ostensibly) mandatory, this doesn't apply.
I agree with your core point, but I think it would be unfair to avoid noting some of the clear ways that SaaS has benefited users.

Accessibility: Individuals/businesses who couldn't afford a large, upfront expenditure for software but can afford the smaller, monthly expense now have access to the best tool for the job.

Flexibility: for sporadic consumers ("I use Photoshop/Illustrator once a year to make my Groundhog Day card"), the ability to subscribe for the one month of the year they use the product and subsequently cancel is incredible.
Ok, let's assume that kernel developers will accept Ada Ehmke's "The Post-Meritocracy Manifesto", and attract lots of people with great interpersonal skills, with diverse backgrounds. They'll be successful, leading rich, full lives. Oh, they wouldn't depend on exerting all of their energy on contributing to software, but that's just a minor nuisance, right?

Sure, the kernel will become insanely great if this happens, right?!

No of course we know they would go away if we stop paying, that's not my top issue. I've committed to paying $10/m (hoping prices don't change to much). Of course this isn't perfect, since it's not unimaginable that I'd need to stop paying for music monthly at some point.

TLDR; the entire subscription model is user hostile in most cases, like this one. And I'll argue it's also rather hostile to the artist here too.

Sorry I was a bit short to simply say "untrue" but I had not raised the prospect of radioactive release and am aware of closed layers of cooling. I pointed out all thermoeletric plants consume significant amounts of increasingly scarce water resources and it seems only misleading to reply "Reactors don't consume water...". Its like saying people don't consume gasoline (their machinery does) Reactors don't consume water (their electrical generation systems do)

> Furthermore, this is not an inherent quality of nuclear power

I never suggested it was - although nuclear plants due to having more complicated safety requirements than other thermoelectrics, do tend to have lower thermal efficiencies and higher cooling costs per energy unit produced.

My point was those costs are significant at any practical scale of generation. The heat output itself of thermoelectric plants can be environmentally significant, so the idea of reactor breakthroughs promising "unlimited" generation is, well, its basically a marketing line, for research funding.
Sheesh, imagine being the sucker who was 401st wealthiest and paying tax like the rest of us schmucks.
Not the OP, but I work on similar problems, albeit in a different setting (healthcare, millions+ of patients). The gist is that you have to bake experimental design into the deployment of your ML model, but in many cases a simple RCT or A/B test just won't cut it. This is largely because when you deploy a model, no matter how sophisticated or accurate, there's no guarantee that it'll actually move the needle in terms of the outcomes you care about—hence you need to run some kind of trial. At the same time, you want to maximize overall utility by not having to allocate more subjects to your control arm (or harmful, or resource-intensive and ineffective treatment arms) than you need to. This latter point is much more of a problem in medicine than it is in other settings, as you can imagine. These considerations point to adaptive designs that balance exploration/exploitation, e.g. those based on multi-armed bandits. Currently working on some cool (in my opinion) variations of MABs that incorporate domain-specific knowledge, so I could talk about this all day!

Note that, at least as of 10.14 (Mojave), lots of built-in macOS preferences do not like their settings to be changed this way. For example, you can use `defaults` to change preferences for the trackpad to your heart's content, but they won't take effect immediately because IOKit (I think) has a shadow copy of the preferences that is much harder to modify. The pref pane for the trackpad ends up changing both the plist and the IOKit prefs to make preference changes take effect immediately.

If you use a lot of `defaults` commands, you'll want to reboot immediately afterwards.

You'd expect a 1/n where n is number of cores available utilization in the case of redis being CPU bound.

I guess I don't know how redis deals with the network, but I'd assume that it handles concurrent requests. If not, then I guess that's the case where you'd see less than 1/n cpu utilization and it could still be CPU bound.
Yes. That's exactly what OP is highlighting and that not giving two shits is the problem.
Wierd way to go about it. Using some form of literate programming system - like WEB/NOWEB with Rust should be eminently doable - and possibly easier to translate section by section?

An abstention intentionally says that either outcome pass/fail is fine, whichever the remaining majority decides. While "didn't care" may be harsh descriptor for that, it's also not factually inaccurate. But you are correct that it can also represent "I'm not capable of making this choice" or "I should not be culpable in making this choice", which often is far from "didn't care" in emotional intent, even if the recorded vote was "did not lend explicit support to either outcome".
I upvoted you to get you back up a bit but sarcasm is not an HN thing :) unless you complete it with more details.

The only benefit is in their marketing department and Adobe's bottom line. If you wanted to use photoshop once a year, you could download the trial version. (Let alone that adobe's apps are no easy to learn toys - you can't just use them once a year). I 'll give it 1 year before we start looking back at SaaS as the abomination that it is.
China executes an official Taiwan belongs to China stance to save face, as communist bureaucracies love to do.

In practice, their official policy lets Taiwan exist as an independently governed region more than the US even allows Hawaii or Cuba to be independent. Even Canada has more of a attachment to the US and its laws than Taiwan does.

This is probably a fact lost on most foreigners unaware of the situation.

If China really wanted to assimilate Taiwan they would not have such deeply connected bilateral trade, cross-border tourism, or give access to their market by Taiwanese companies like Foxconn, HTC, Asus, and hundreds more.

China does impose tourism restrictions to pressure Taiwan, but if they really wanted to crush Taiwan they can easily do so without raising so much as a hand gun.

The funny thing is armchair Chinese nationalists (people on the other side of the planet reading hacker news) are more up in arms about this than actual Taiwanese people because the de-jure stance has always been like this, and the de-facto independence of Taiwan has been pretty stable.
Can we guarantee that there never will be any harassment? No, of course not.

But what we can do is strongly oppose any harassment. Clearly tell off anyone whe participates in harassment.

Of course, the leaders of any community should be a role model in not supporting harassment.
I work at an ecommerce company and we have to do something similar for displaying Taiwanese flag icons and refer to countries as “regions” as to not piss off China. Its the deal with the devil you make when you work on an international scale, and unfortunately making some small time political message will hurt your bottom line if the Chinese market share is taken away from your customer base. Unfortunate but it’s just economics. Not sure if it’s 1-to-1 with the Apple situation but it’s my anecdote.
That does not contradict what I said.

Part of this may come down to corpus availability. The EU requires that much of its official document production be translated in the official language of every member country (which would include Irish and Latvian). With essentially bilingual translation pairs, it's much easier to feed the data into machine translation; and the need to feed this translation machine for official translation also means it's relatively easy to contract out translation work if you need to.
The motivation is to make it easy for developers to extract tabular data from images or scanned PDF files without worrying about the table area, column coordinates, rotation et al.

Adobe doesn't really have a choice here. They're doing this to comply with sanctions, not because they have any dog in fighting Maduro.

If Venezuelans pirate Photoshop, then Adobe can go and say "hey, these people are using it without our permission, which means we're still in compliance".

Also, while people are even more likely to forget Graphic Converter since it first came out in 1859 or something (this may be a slight exaggeration, but my point is, it's been around a long time), it has some neat tricks up its sleeve. I sent business cards to a print shop that required CMYK PSDs by doing the work in Acorn and converting in Graphic Converter.
