Not sure I would subscribe to the advanced society, so far all the artifacts we have can be explained by above-the -average achievements of an individual (rather than a group or a society, like, for example, a microprocessor). And the fact that the mankind has a pronounced tendency to punish extraordinary achievement.
Additionally, a part of the device's API is not going to be available to the webapp.
> I find this surprising. I'd say anyone who does any serious amount of multitasking (whether a Linux dev or not) would easily want one.

I would have thought so too, but this isn't my experience. The smartest developers I know at my current job still develop with old laptops with awful 720p screens (I mean, awful beyond just the low res) and can't be bothered to attach an external Full HD monitor, let alone ask for a 4K one. And still they are brilliant, produce great software, and are key when planning profound software changes in the company. These are people who I deeply admire and from whom I always learn something valuable when they speak. Keep in mind they are also developers, not "whiteboard engineers".

My conclusion is that we nerds tend to overestimate ergonomics, because they are easier to see ("pff, I can only type with a mechanical keyboard!", "how can people code with fewer than three 4K monitors!"), but the actual bottlenecks and difficulties of building complex software lie elsewhere.

I still can't stand 720p screens though.

> Why isn't it fair that they pay the same tax rate?

As Buffett points out, they don't. Buffett's is lower, because capital gains are privileged with a substantially lower rate, because the mega-wealthy largely benefit there.

Indeed. Apple's MO for a LONG time has been, "The way things have always worked should always be rethought, and we've come up with a better way for you". Many Apple users on forums like this tend to be Apple apologists until they introduce that one change that's too much, and then it's all "Apple's lost their way!" when the reality is it's just Apple being Apple.
You jest, but you could totally write the rules for it to support VB6.
I think for Java projects Bazel is a very bad choice. Last time I've checked it was not even able to resolve dependencies transitively. And I doubt that it's faster than recent versions of Gradle.
> It’s trifling for Europe as a whole, as shown by the fact that Turkey managed to process them alone.

Considering the fact that 1 million refugees were enough to revitalize Neo-Nazi parties and cause a wave of right-wing terrorism and political assassinations, no, it is not trifling for Europe. I think some of you forget/don't realize how dire the situation was before the 2016 EU-Turkey refugee agreement. 5m would likely lead to the collapse of the EU.
> What evidence do you have to support that the article was false?

There has been zero corroborating evidence found for the article. Bloomberg themselves has offered no corroboration either. At this point it's safe to assume it's false. Beyond that, it's like asking: "prove that the Sasquatch doesn't exist".
I can appreciate your problem, but SIP on whole is a good thing along with mounting system directories as read only. It's the only thing that prevented many machines from having to be reinstalled recently.

I'm not usually on Apple's side. Their holier-than-thou marketing speak, walled garden and crippled Safari browser are enough to send me to an early grave with blood pressure. But I think Apple might be correct in this particular instance given the fraught nature of the situation there.
There are serious and intellectually honest disagreements about how to actually measure wealth and taxation. And I don't want to accuse the author of outright bad faith. But in my view this segment - the core of the argument - plays fast-and-loose with the facts in a way that is reckless at best:

"According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the lowest-income 20% of households have an average federal tax rate of about 2%. Those in the middle 20% pay 14% of their income in federal taxes. Higher-income households face higher rates. The top 20% pay a 27% federal rate. And the federal tax rate for the top 1% is 33%. These data are for 2016, the most recent year available.

This is half of the story. When assessing the progressivity of the U.S. federal system, it makes sense to look at both taxes and the means-tested transfer payments — Medicaid, food stamps and Supplemental Security Income — that those taxes fund."

It is in fact one third of the story. It appears the author is conflating federal income taxes with overall federal taxes - specifically, the truly regressive payroll tax is ignored, yet the payments from this tax are counted in the opposite direction. This is just plain bad accounting, and a common enough bit of misunderstanding that Strain should have directly addressed it.

Partisan anti-tax activists don't mention the payroll tax, but for the very wealthy it is a pittance, versus a serious burden for the working poor. I think the income cap for payroll taxes is something like $150k: all income beyond that is completely untaxed. For people with 7-figure incomes, it is downright regressive. As someone trying to present a more intellectually serious case than Grover Norquist, Strain should do better, and not let readers like myself wonder if he's lying to them.

And I thought this "question" deserved a lot more than one line, considering the issue of untaxed capital gains is the primary reason why left-liberals (correctly) assert the US has a regressive tax system:

"How to account for unrealized capital gains when determining income?"

In fact, phrasing this as a "gee whiz, what a difficult but ultimately technical question" makes me wonder about the author's intentions. This is the same author who, in 2008 while doing research for the Fed, wrote a shameless and factually ungrounded article supporting the payday loan industry: https://www.responsiblelending.org/sites/default/files/nodes... It is worth noting that this is not a "he got the facts wrong" problem so much as "there is no excuse for getting these facts wrong." He has been a New Right Intellectual for quite some time and I am not very impressed.

I am guessing there is a lot of motivated reasoning in here versus outright dishonesty. But either way this Bloomberg article is bad, insulting to the reader, and the ways that they are bad are easily predictable from this author's career.
Japan has a strong gift culture, many things come wrapped in many layers for the purposes of gifting. I think plastic bags containing individually-wrapped-in-plastic items come from this idea: you can give someone a single item without worrying about contamination from unclean hands. Hi-chews are a good example of this.

I remember buying a few items at a department store in Japan and the clerk individually wrapped each item in paper, then wrapped all the items together in paper, then put it all in a paper bag.

They extensively use a 'heavy tissue'-like paper to wrap many items. A decorative plate I bought as a gift for my grandfather was wrapped in about 20 sheets of this paper. Great protection, but it did feel a little wasteful.
The practical burden of a flat tax rate is much greater, the lower your income. Someone earning $10k/year who pays $1,500 is going to miss those tax dollars a lot more than someone earning $10M/year is going to miss $1.5M. Flat taxes are viciously regressive.
Not to dismiss anything you mentioned, but looking at the big picture Facebook also published things that went awry / never really gained adoption. Flow, Buck, Hack to name a few.

I mean, the cool things are cool (even if I have a really hard time with Facebook as a company) but I think it's a bit of a stretch to say Facebook has "the recipe".
I can't find that in the mobile version, at least. It does have an icon if a police officer among many others.

In any case, that for avoiding, not harming police officers so I don't think it's in the same category.
Has anyone used MXNet? I've been meaning to check it out because it appears to have solid Clojure support.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but is it not still as simple as knowing the “chrome-extension://“ unique id of the extension? I’m aware of the cat and mouse aspect of scraping and that was one of the pitfalls I’ve been wary of as a fingerprinting vector.

Those heathen commies don’t know what’s good for them as much as I, an ill-informed American, do. I must dictate to them what laws they can or cannot have after briefly hearing about their society in the news!

The same Americans who talk about how Europeans don't have "real freedom of speech" get mad when their favorite political commentator gets censored on Youtube or Facebook or get mad when a riot keeps them from seeing someone give a speech. The end result is that Americans don't have real freedom of speech.
> I get really sick of people arguing personal preference as if it’s irrefutable fact.

This reads as, "My personal preference is for people not to argue for their personal preference." Before you go on to argue for your personal preference.

> So how about we get off our proverbial soapbox and enjoy the fact that we are lucky enough to work in an industry where we can choose the tools we like.

Sure, we can choose the tools we like provided those tools are popular enough to have an ecosystem of jobs, or we're willing to shoehorn ourselves into a narrow set of jobs.

...which is why I'm sick of languages getting popular based on hype rather than pragmatics. Every Go job is a job that I've either got to reject based on the tool, or use their terrible tool.
I take solace in that fact that by definition there will always be developers - increasingly, even. And therefore there will alway be a market for making computers for developers. Apple seems to be dropping the ball on that lately, which is a shame because they had such a lead. But Microsoft is racing to fill the gap with things like WSL and the skyrocketing build quality of high-end Windows laptops.
Yup. Did it. I'm so fortunate to have been able to afford it, and it's been awesome.

When my first child was born, I dropped down to 3 days a week, at 60% pay/vesting/etc., but full medical (Google was awesome about it). After a few years, I moved to a new position that I felt really passionate about (Makani at Google[x]), and went up to 4 days a week to make that possible. After a few years there and the birth of another child, I left Alphabet and now work 2 days a week at Elemeno Health (who are hiring for a full time Lead Engineer, BTW; see https://angel.co/company/elemeno-health/jobs).

It's really life-changing. I've been able to be a much more involved parent than I ever could have working full time. My wife also works part-time [more like 80%] and it's such a big plus.

If you want to try it, and can find a supporting company, true work-life balance is amazing. You may have to pick the right projects, that are well-suited to a reduced duty cycle, but with the right fit, it works great.
It looks like they're buying 100,000 electric delivery vehicles; seems like they're taking action.
I learned on a PDP-11, but we had 8’s available, too. They felt very similar. I think the 11 had maybe 15-ish instructions?

Edit: just checked, and the 11 has about 70 instructions. I think MACRO-11 might abstract over many of them, making it look like it has fewer instructions. The instructions group nicely into a few families, which makes things really easy.
Bloomberg cited their evidence. In contrast, none of the companies in the report have issued a convincing denial based on evidence. Moreover, this week at least one of those companies gave in to China's demands on censorship and it's clear that any prior rebuttal was instigated by the Chinese government as a condition of continuing business in China.
This is the right take. When you get to a certain level of income/wealth, it's all about figuring out ways to:

1. shift earned income into capital gains (e.g., private equity carry, small business earnings into equity vs salary)

2. defer taxes (401k, mortgage deductions, 1031 exchanges on real estate, etc)

3. avoid taxes (shift jurisdictions)

4. get accountants, lawyers, and lobbyists to figure out additional ways to lower tax burden

I'm not saying the government is efficient or that 100-200k incomes should be taxed more, I'm just saying that's the game as it stands. Tax expenditures are the ways the government gives (rebates?) money back, mostly to the wealthy.
No one said Bloomberg's article wasn't plausible. It's just there's been no evidence to show that it's actually true.
KDE has excellent support for fractional scaling, to a single decimal point. It is also a very lightweight and fast desktop environment, but has plenty of useful features.
That is not the question I'm asking. The question is what ethical principles distinguish these cases. How do we get a consistent decision process out of this?

One consistent answer is, Dehomag did nothing wrong, if the legitimate German government wants to commit genocide, that's a matter for perhaps international law, and local companies should cooperate. (I think that's a horrid moral position, but it is, at least, a well-defined one.)

One answer is simply that extermination camps are beyond the pale but all other activities are fine. But then there's a weird case-by-case problem: if a government treats slavery as legal, is it okay to power their slave-catching program? If they run electroshock therapy for gay deconversion, is it okay to support that infrastructure? Basically, when we say "Never again," is it tautological—are we defining the Holocaust as unique to ensure it never again could happen?

Or is there a common ethical principle that Dehomag could have applied before the Holocaust, when the programs were merely deportation/relocation and not genocide, to say "Wait, we don't need to make money from this," and if so, is it relevant today?

As I said, we can always reach the conclusion that ICE is not perpetuating crimes against humanity, that their work is morally acceptable. But if we believe that, why try to purchase morality offsets for it?
That seems like a reasonable argument to me.

The data they used wasn’t actual data.
This would imply that humans are completely unaffected by environmental factors.
Unless there's a declared civil war in HK, the physical integrity of police officers is as much important as that of the protesters. I would list that as a "Western" value.

Couldn't agree more. These updates just aren't compelling. It's been a long time since a newer version had speed improvements. I stayed on Mavericks and El Capitan until support ran out. And I'll be waiting again until all the necessary 32-bit software has been ported.
No idea. How about a citizenship tax that is a fixed amount for everyone? Perfect equality including equal tax amount.
That is awesome, thank you for sharing! Since you mentioned picking the right projects... if other people are doing 5 days a week, how do you find the right project and stay on top of it if you are out 1 or 2 days a week?
>Modern war is asymmetric

No, the recent wars we’ve fought have been asymmetric. There is no reason to think that won’t change.

I have trouble understanding what that was really about. It seemed like she just didn't like the job because she didn't have a clear idea of what she was supposed to do and didn't feel important enough.

This part stood out to me a bit

>due to the fact that I had less technical experience, it was hard for me to garner the confidence to ask questions.

When I feel like I don't know what I'm doing, that's when I ask the most questions and I sit there and let whoever I'm asking mansplain the hell out of it to me.

From what I could tell, she didn't like the lack of direction from her managers, but also didn't like having things explained to her. She wanted constant feedback about what she was supposed to be doing, yet wouldn't ask questions and didn't like to have things explained to her. How do you accommodate someone like that? It's too bad her job didn't work out, but it sounds more like, she didn't like her job and the way the company was run.

That is why dividends are subject to special rates, not capital gains.
Yes is an option but one I would hate to take. It would mean that I have to artificially cripple the product for all users just to eventually earn money from a few. That was the opposite of what I wanted. I wanted that everybody can use it for free which gives the product the chance to get used by very many people and so become amazing for all users over time. So ended up with the Commons Clause as it aligned the most with my vision.
When I was a young un, KitKats, Aeros, and all chocolate bars came in thin aluminium foil and a very thin paper wrapper, just like your KitKat pic. Foil was usually colour coded by flavour. 100% recyclable, even in the 70s.

Mars bars, Crunchies, and other bars were wrapped in greaseproof paper folded envelope style and sealed with gum. They were the right shape and weight for small paper aeroplanes for annoying teachers. :)

There was a selection of playground origami models traditional for the various other size sweetie and choc wrappers that were mainly greaseproof or waxed paper.
Is that a good or fair argument though?

I get paid and pay 20% then 40% on the rest (banded)... Then as soon as I buy practically anything I'm taxed another 20% on top of that.

A corporation pays 19% and then those profiting from that owe 7/32/38% (depending on their total income).
Since Mojave, waking my 2012 rMPB results in a flash of desktop and content before showing the lock screen. This sounds similar, if not a continued degradation.
Yeah, saw this the other day on an Ubuntu machine (running whatever the last release was, not LTS) I have hooked up to a TV. Flash of the desktop for a second or so before the login screen. Speaks to something fundamentally wrong with the way the whole thing works, I figure.

I run xlock on suspend rather than on resume, seems more reliable. I'm any case, locking is trivial to bypass by pressing Control-C a few times on resume to kill xorg, hence why I also start X with "startx; exit" so that this drops to the login prompt instead of the shell.

The types of 'android assassins' are tulpas. They're similar to the Jewish tradition of Golem, which is imbued rock and clay to an automaton. Other terms would be thoughtforms, egregores.

The belief behind them is that they are 'energy beings' (think of energy as spiritual and not em/strong/weak/gravity). And one can 'encode' simple ideas or actions on them, like "Protect this grave" or the like.

Well yeah, but let's compare apples to apples here. A "processed" Salisbury steak you buy in the frozen section likely isn't all that different than what you would end up with if you made it yourself but the homemade one doesn't get labeled as processed like it probably ought to.

You're absolutely right that the actual nutritional content matters and there's a lot of low-nutrition food out there but the term processed just irks me because it doesn't at all capture what's actually wrong with certain types of food.

Tax professionals aren't going to have much to work with if you have a traditional job with a salary. Make sure you take all the deductions that apply and maybe change a couple behaviors to enable more deductions or deferment.

To really make a difference in taxation, you need to have the ability to change the character of your income. If you run a tightly held corporation, you can (with some limits) reduce your salary but compensate by paying a dividend, turning more of your income into capital gains. If you run a low employee count company, you can move your income into employer paid 401k contributions, deferring taxes, etc.
