Oh my sweet summer child! This is how the world works. Look at the governors, the congress, the president!

The disconnect is that you are approaching this as someone who is A) spending his own money, and B) not a dummy.

Soaking the taxpayer for "just" a few hundred thousand for a nice steak dinner happens all the time. They're state employees. It's not their money, and it's not like they're going to get fired for it.

edit: EVIDENCE. used to be married to a professor on textbook committee. textbook selection time is always a month of upscale dining. for higher-rent example, look at the epstein/ito/lessig saga at MIT. befriend sales guys at any big company, and they can give you examples from morning to midnight. open your eyes. it is hidden in plain sight.
Isn't that the entire conclusion of the article? That separating kids out hurts the average, meaning more kids are worse off than better?
The thing about evil capitalists is that they like to have low cost equipment and operations and high price outputs.

IF you exclude government subsidies, these evil capitalists that are out for a buck are not rushing into implementing what you are talking about.

Which means that: It is not nearly as close to parity as you apparently believe that it is.

I mean no insult, but: If evil capitalists are not rushing towards doing it without government subsidies - it isn't as close to parity as you think it is. YMMV.
Isn't the underlying value here mathematically provable scarcity ?
They will deem it a single entity.
E.g., I like the luggage rack on the top of my SUV: It's terrific for carrying home a Christmas tree. Otherwise I never use it. It wasn't an expensive option: A rental once of a truck to carry home a tree would cost more than the option.
Court officers take an oath not to waste the court's time. Knowingly advancing baseless claims that are only meant to scare a victim into settling is a violation of that oath. This isn't hard stuff. The priesthood just doesn't want to hold its members accountable.
If mandatory school attendance were repealed, it would work itself quite quickly.
That’s hopelessly naive, there are significantly powerful organizations representing NIMBY movements. [1]

Interesting to see that it exists -- I know there was a great deal of controversy over the fact that Tether would not redeem them ever. The order book there is awfully thin for an asset worth the billions USDT is supposed to be though.
If you wanted to know how it's taxed, you could've asked that directly. I didn't see anything in your question about how it was taxed. Short answer specific to the US (IANAL): capital gains on every transaction, counting transactions between different cryptocurrencies as if you'd sold your original currency for USD and then bought the other cryptocurrency using USD. These are just arbitrary laws though, they have nothing to do with the actual properties of a given cryptocurrency.
when a company hires an independent contractor, then the onus of dealing with all that is on the contractor. so it's not really a problem for the company.
I'm sure you don't hear about a majority of cases because they're settled out of court.
the problem is not that false choice between employee and contractor, but that there is no choice. when employer and employee are in two different countries, then employment is not an option.

neither can the employers country force the company to get a work visa for the "employee", nor can the employees country force the employer to open a legal entity in the country. the only thing the employees country can do is to make it hard for the "employee" to work as an independent contractor.

or both countries can set up an international agreement to deal with this situation.

the company is not trying to get around the law, and presumably most, or all who for example work for gitlab in the US are employees. most likely in europe too, since a single company is enough to cover the whole european union so it's likely that they set one up. they are not employees in countries where there are to few people to make it worth setting up a local company.
Communicate status with stakeholders is PMs responsibility. And, I guess, in 95% of cases, PM can do this without talking to dev. By just looking in jira for example... But they just can't. They continue asking if dev is still on time. They setting up usless meetings, just to see people talk to each other. Micromanagement.

Can you then provide an example of how PM makes life of a developer easier?
I don't see how they could possibly stop him, under the First Sale Doctrine. About the only avenue of attack would be to rat him out to the state as an unlicensed food vendor, or something like that.

And no, they shouldn't be able to use trademark law against him, any more than Microsoft should be able to stop me from selling legitimate new-in-box copies of Windows or Office on eBay.
The TIP programs looked fun, shame they were so pricey. I kept getting the invites, but neither me nor anyone I knew had parents who could throw down for it. I do recall doing an excellent forensic science daytime camp program with the law enforcement training program at the community college though. It was only a couple of days long, but the instructor was great and it was a totally unique experience. Making summer programs more accessible and interesting would probably be a great thing for kids of all ability levels to be honest.
Inverse square law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law

>(...) Intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity.

Shit gets dimmer at the square of the distance. So if at a distance of 1 a thing has a brightness of one, at a distance of 2 it has a brightness of 1/(2^2), or 1/4. At a distance of 8, you are looking at a brightness of 1/(8^2) or 1/64th.

Voyager 2 is ~122 AU distant. So the sun's apparent brightness would be 1/(122^2), or 1/14884, or 0.00067 % as bright as the sun as perceived at the earth-sun distance (ignoring the atmosphere of course).
I was in TIP and CTY, and I would agree. That was always the best part of the year, and it provided a view into worlds I didn't know existed before. In fifth grade we studied recursion in math and all the kids there were smarter than me. The people were so much more interesting too. Life changing experiences.
How does it compare to SQL Server Columnstore Indexes?
A vehicle that has a towing capacity in the tens of thousands of pounds can have a big battery bank, and so it could have longer range than a small sedan. Of course the weight of the battery itself reduces range, and carrying a load will reduce range, and bigger batteries increase cost, but I suspect the reason Ford is introducing an electric truck in 2021 (and Tesla has one coming, too) is because they've done the math and it's finally starting work out right for some category of their customer base.

The truck market is downright scientific, and Ford is the leader in that market. They serve a lot of fleet customers and have huge amounts of data about how those fleets are used. They must have found a segment that will find electric vehicles cost-effective, otherwise they'd put it off another year or two or three. It's not the average truck buyer that's pushing them toward electric (there's a deep vein of stupid in that market that loves big, noisy, smelly, engines), but I'm confident they aren't doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. I believe Ford making an electric truck means there's a market for electric trucks, whatever their limitations, at the price they can deliver them.
If they ban him, he'd need to find, say, 10 buyers to act as middlemen between him and KK. But it would come at a significant cost to his business...

KK can also just be real dicks and tell the cops about him, and bribe them with, ha, donuts.
see my comment above, when employer and "employee" are in two different countries then contracting is the only option, lest the company opens a subsidiary in that country.
Actually I suspect it's more because of the push in the research community for improved reproducibility.
If the dollar peg has staid for years, how risky lottery it is to do short term value transfers with it? It is obvious that it shouldnt be used for long term value storage. However since it has been called out as a ponzi scheme for years and still maintains the peg, these articles start to be more like advertisements for it.
I think the surplus from self-driving tech is going to go to the owners of self-driving IP and consumers.
Well, I would say there isn't a huge penalty for the benefits, and it's nice to have 110% of your maximum expected needs covered rather than 80%. And big vehicles keep getting better and better fuel economy, plus scaled down versions aren't significantly cheaper.

I think a major issue is that most of the cost of a car is not in the quantity of metal used to make the body/frame. So you aren't going to cut manufacturing costs much by making it smaller. This is probably why nobody can make small cars at a profit in the US. Any additional amount a customer will pay for a larger vehicle goes disproportionately to profit, so it's a win-win for the manufacturer and customer.
No, it's clear in hindsight that the statement was false then and is still false now.

You have demonized anyone who doesn't support left wing ideology to the point that nobody wants to talk to you about it anymore. There are probably many trump supporters working with you that you'll never know about.
You may want to look into the difference between liberalism and leftism.
This is 95% of why we send our kids to private school. In the rare case a disrupter makes it in, they're "counseled out." It's a travesty that schools permit a handful of bad apples to ruin the learning experience of everyone else.
I've worked in China extensively and I feel strong about the following:

A) Cloudfare can defend, but a mom-and-pop small business cannot. A startup cannot.

B) China can hedge against western bureaucracy and gain unprecedented speed in innovation and new ventures - precisely because of hard pressing and blocking issues such as patent law.

C) Even if there were no patent trolls, China can still manage to steal, copy, espionage or fearlessly innovate - why? Because of three things - culture, law and international relations.

In my opinion, Patents need to end. Yep, completely get rid of patents. Not shorten it, not amend it, just simply stop taking new applications. Existing patents can be still be active until they expire (or better yet, shorten the expiration date). Ideas are cheap, execution is where companies need to compete.

This is not a level playing field for the rest of the nations. China gives no fucks about law and the west is gonna watch China lead the way in exponential progress while we are still playing in the dirt with our little patent litigations.

I wonder if people here have felt this before: Get an idea, start building a prototype, demo it to a friend, friend suggests checking google.com/patents, excitement collapses :(
My guess would be that the videos processed in their work are quite small to limit computation time
Is it arbitrage? The value he's adding is convenience, which is what people are paying extra for. I don't think the donuts sitting behind the counter at Krispy Kreme are undervalued. They have a huge inconvenience cost built into their location.
And that happened after the period of horrific exploitation of people in factories, including children. Economic growth is good not in itself but only if it is widely shared. It will be better for economic growth in the long run anyway because inequality comes with its own set of problems.
Based on his Facebook page[1], it seems he's going to be an authorized reseller soon.

> Hi everyone, here is the next important update! I am pumped to announce that I will be able to continue the business soon, and have the support of Krispy Kreme. They want to ensure I become an independent operator and make sure the brand is represented well. On both ends, there are things that are being worked on right now to achieve that as this is being made as a special exception. But nonetheless, we can get started up again soon once certain things are in place.

> This being said, I am definitely going to need a bigger vehicle with how much this has grown over the past few days. I know a couple of you have asked about a GoFundMe. I decided to create one because I won't be able to cover the costs on my own I realize. Any donation would mean the world to me, no matter how small. Maybe I can decal it with some donut stickers! I am happy that things turned out positive, and this can continue to strive and grow over the next couple of years. I've said it before, and I will say it again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone that has supported me on this journey.

This I never understood. Why does it matter if kids are playing the games you enjoy?

Without punctuation, this sounds like a ridiculously specific and esoteric crime.
Social mobility in the USA is actually much lower than in other developed countries.
Honestly... I don’t care much. My school was low on bullying. Nothing torturous like others experience. Most of the gen pop students were pretty rude and dumb. And most of them have lower middle class business jobs that suck ass but put food on the table. And none of their education mattered except for rubber stamping milestones. “Deserves help” doesn’t make sense to me. Their life choices are going to be the determinants of whether they hit a moderate outcome vs an incredibly shitty outcome. Their education isn’t useful.

If you want to help them, find a way to improve society that’s overburdened with unskilled workers with middle class aspirations. The gen pop group doesn’t disappear when high school ends. It’s still just the majority of people, just perhaps less socially empowered than in high school. We didn’t fail to make them love science, they just don't care about science. It would be far better to recognize that they would be just fine with less education, no college debt, and some encouragement to make a better society for everyone.
I haven't owned a TV in years; don't find it particularly limiting (laptop + netflix/prime), and frees up space in my home for other things.

How does the title go from "Vast Dragnet Targets Theft of Biomedical Secrets for China" to the one in this comment thread? The original is much closer to the spirit of the original article.
Been there several times. But with a current salary over $140k and a large family I have no idea where to start over without cutting back so far that it would massive disruptive repercussions. Management? Recruiting? Something illegal? I have been so awesome with computers for so long I've gotten so highly paid at it -- and yet I HATE technology and computers. Where is the off-ramp?
Sometimes disruptive kids need to be told they are capable and put with other people that are capable. Being told you're an idiot (lowest tier class) generally leads to a self fulfilling prophecy and that's a problem for society.

I was a trouble maker at school. In my final two years, my history teacher took a special interest in me for whatever reason. I now have a masters degree from Cambridge university. I was forced to study with the good kids (who actually tried to bully me ironically) but it worked out really well for me. I think a lot of disruptive boys can really benefit from a strong masculine teacher that forced them to see that there's a better way.

Also, there are some kids which are just going straight to jail. No idea how to deal with them.
Well at that point, who gives a shit? It offers no predictive capability like real models.

Might as well talk about how it’s well understood by the Scientology community that it’s indicative of a required audit.
Supply of housing can increase if it makes sense to build housing. Zoning and other regulation can make it impossible, risky or unprofitable to build housing.
I don't know that for certain. But it seems the most probable of the outcomes, given what we know. But maybe you can convince me otherwise. Do you claim that she lived modestly and frugally, saving as much as possible, and only her lifelong tax burden prevented her from being able to save enough to support herself in her old age?

More to the point, do you have an answer to my first question? Ayn Rand thought it only just that she take from the public coffers she paid into once she needed it. Do you think she would have happily extended the same privilege to anyone besides herself and her husband?
I'm in a similar situation. Tech has run its course with me. I can only relearn the same stuff so many times. I'm saving some money and are going to night school to study to be a financial advisor. I know it's going to be a while before I can get a job and may never earn what I'm earning now but I feel it will be a more satisfying career.

In the past, I've known people that have switched to sales in tech. They are more account managers than sales. I've thought about it but I can't handle the travel.
Yeah but what do you even do out there with the sensor payload it has?
Its imaging devices really aren't structured for deep space remote sensing. They were built to image planet and planet sized objects.
Fair enough, but you won't find a "Turbo" labelled ICE, Porsche or anything else, without an actual turbocharger.
This is called tracking and it's how school was done before the late 80s or early 90s, at which point it was declared wrong and evil and quite possibly racist. Interesting that they brought it back as an "experiment" with good results. It can never be implemented as anything more than an experiment these days because of the risk that too many students Of Color would end up in the bottom tracks.
Canada too, and thru the nose!
32 bit support is also an API. MacOS agreed to run apps compiled to target a particular instruction set. Arbitrarily refusing to honor that (undocumented) agreement is the same as breaking an undocumented API. Here they broke all the 32 bit interfaces for their OS.
Not just China though, pretty much all of SE Asia.

Thanks to the trade wars, manufacturing is spreading more quickly away from China to the surrounding countries where China still has a lot of influence, but US hasn't added tariffs (yet) ... labor is cheap and quality is just as high (or bad, depending on your view of things).

If you think the judicial system and 'no fucks' is non-existent in China, try Laos, Cambodia or Vietnam.
Radiation pressure would be my initial guess, but this is a very weak laser for that.
> Moreover, even if enabled, speaker recognition only verifies that the wake-up words (e.g., "Ok Google" or "Alexa") are said in the owner's voice, and not the rest of the command.

Holy shit, this might be even more astounding to me than the laser attack itself.
Based on this and the iPhone helium problem, it seems like the security and durability of MEMS devices needs to be examined carefully for their intended use case.
That argument may not hold up in a court if Krispy Kreme had to explain why it didn't do anything to prevent known misuse of its trademark.
I jumped into this comment thread to say precisely that. It’s absolutely outrageous how many articles about the healthcare industry basically boil down to: journalist just discovered simple, old, and public concept known to everyone even loosely in the field, relates it as a shattering innovation.

I’d say this accounts for about 30% of the healthcare articles that end up on HN. The other 70% are just garbage.
In addition to the many other answers I would add- the thrill of owning something that feels vaguely “industrial grade” or heavy duty.
I wonder how it is that that level of demand can’t support having stores in the area?
Start growing something, it really doesn't matter what, flowers, bees, mushrooms, veggies, fish..... The farmers of the world are retiring and or dying off, huge opportunity for anyone willing to put in the time and effort. If your worried about taking the leap, read some books or watch some youtube videos on it.
My point is that "disingenuous" sweeps quite a bit more broadly than "baseless."
> Prior to Stuy, I was bullied like crazy, beaten, and it was very difficult to try and fit in with many of the others around me who, frankly, just didn't give a fuck. It really sucked

Can't we fix bullying in the first place ?

I'm pretty sure when the article says 'closed' the really mean 'compact' in the topological sense.

Android isn't as bad as windows. There is no requirement to sign in to a google account for android. I simply installed f-droid and continued using my phone. There are some improvements that could be made, the calendar app requires a google account which is annoying and arguably the play store should allow installing free apps without an account.
I think it's good you posted this; the goals listed on the first link seem very reasonable to get behind, and it's something both I and researchers in child sexual abuse material (e.g. Amy Adler's paper, which is one of the most cited in the field) have noticed. The rhetoric of "think of the children" can be and has been used many times to silence sexual activity between adults, including fictional representations (such as manga and comics, some of which are illegal to possess in the UK), kinks (online ageplay roleplay is often targeted under obscenity law, despite being between two adults), and other cases.

In my view, the protection of children based on hard evidence showing causal links is paramount, not suspicion and anecdota (it was, in fact, anecdota given before Parliament which was used in the creation of the bill in England and Wales to illegalize lolicon manga) based on the "social harms" that seem obvious at first sight but are refuted by cultural anthropology (e.g Patrick Galbraith and Mark McLelland have come to very interesting conclusions regarding how adults consume fantasy material). There is no group to fight for the few thousand people caught under this law so far (according to the English VAWG report 2017), nor do I imagine their being. The organization you linked seems, at least, to have this sort of thing on the agenda.
This thread is working off the assertion that our top universities are overrated.

What you're talking about is just introduction to the concept of pricing. Each person has to determine for themselves what it's worth. It will be worth more to some than to others. Everything of economic value gets priced, even if it's socialized.

You can't escape the market. If you think you can get a better value at a cheaper school, or in a different country with socialized schools, go there. Some will let you attend their universities for free even if you're not a citizen. Meanwhile people from all over the world will continue to scramble to get into our top universities. Maybe you know something they don't.
Wow, these are amazing. My immediate thought is that tools like iZotope RX (in the hands of the right person) could be used to make them much better.
So it was YOU who took down the network then
> looks like a custom one.. and non-relocatable, too -- if I wanted to install "jmxterm" to my home dir, I'd need to manually edit the script

Funny how you had to go searching to find that script, when the installation instructions are simply - 1) download uberjar, 2) run uberjar. Also, you had to go searching to find a script 8 years old, in a project with a commit 20 days ago, to attempt to prove your point.

Surely you must realise you're grasping at this stage.
