I've always assumed the origins of marriage were religious in nature and that the only legal purpose was to join finances. But after doing a google search to not look like an idiot, it seems like marriage was started to legitimize children and that religion didn't officially get involved in marriage til around the 8th century. So I do have to say, my "idealistic" side is falling apart at this point. I still have my concerns about her having 5% of the credit limit of her husband based on current laws. The difference in credit limit here is so great that it seems at first glance to be a general calculation mistake. I don't think we can safely take sexism off the table (if their lives were swapped but not their gender, would DHH have received a credit limit that was 5% of his wife's?). Unfortunately, it sounds like we'll never know what variables were at play here and how they impacted the calculation.

I feel you're too caught up in whether or not you personally feel FedEx should pay more in taxes. That's not what is at issue here.

If NYT believes FedEx should pay more in taxes, if the NYT wants the law changed for any reason, I think that's fantastic. I welcome them to register as a PAC, subject themselves to the relevant regulations, give up their press passes, and fight for better tax law.
I'm sorry but that just sounds absurdly reductive to me. It makes a gross assumption that people are incapable of keeping their government in check.

Perhaps, in spite of my own cynicism, I believe people are capable of deciding how they want their societies to run (also in spite of our hiccups here in the Western world).

So again: why do such businesses deserve to operate with such impunity? A natural function of business is risk. Subverting reasonable social good is an active harm that is reasonable given the circumstances (like an ambulance or fire truck asserting the right of way on a city street), but I fail to see why that should apply to any and all business.

I'll be happy to be convinced otherwise—but I doubt I will be.

I know you're speaking out under the condition of anonymity, so I won't ask which business you're operating or employed by but I am immensely curious about which industry you're representing. It would help much in understanding your perspective.

Uh, considering that Nintendo became popular by breaking the arcade game mold with Donkey Kong, and continued that trend with Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, etc. then went on to create things like Wii Music, not to mention the Wiimotes, building a tablet into the WiiU, Amiibos, Labo...

The blog specifically states "this does not involve WebAssembly", so it seems like this uses Blazor Server and not Blazor WebAssembly, meaning that it doesn't run any .NET code in the browser space at all. While this is also very new, it's an officially supported part of ASP.NET Core 3.0. I'd probably not use Blazor Server in a web app just yet since it requires an active connection to the web server, but this is all local so I'm pretty interested in trying it out.

Of course this is still an experiment so it's very risky to use it, but it's cool and shows promise.

Edit: Looks like maybe this thread is talking about using Blazor at all instead of within the context of the post, but I what I said still applies so I'll leave it up.

There’s no silver bullet in any of this. If the government subsidies journalism the government can control journalism. At least with corporate control you can have competing corporations telling alternate sides of the story. But ultimately it’s on the public to be skeptical and critical consumers of media.
Tacked Borrows an Aliasing Model for Rust
Doing PHP programming was my first programming job, lasted for about 3 years.

While I agree with you about the allure of PHP, to be honest, I will never choose PHP again or touch any projects that uses PHP.

PHP is an awful, obsolete language, patched again and again to make it more modern. It's like wearing an old leather jacket that has been patched repeatedly, yet it still has a nasty smell. This is entirely subjective of course and I'll take old and trustworthy technologies technologies any day of the week. Except PHP isn't trustworthy and it never was.

I have never seen a high level language plagued with so many security issues and this extends to apps built in PHP, like Wordpress. You could attribute that to sloppy coding, or to its popularity, yet if you take the top web vulnerabilities in the wild, most of them (like SQL injections, or remote code executions, or stupid bugs related to implicit conversions, session tampering, etc) aren't possible with modern libraries built in static languages, or at least very hard to accomplish by accident.

For me there's also the issue that PHP is really inefficient. Any PHP app will crash your average server if it hits Hacker News, unless you end up caching the pages via Varnish or similar tricks that essentially avoid hitting the PHP interpreter. Configuring Wordpress to withstand a traffic spike can be very challenging, the best solution is to pre-generate the website, thus making it static, which is very weird considering for how long WP and PHP have been on the scene, you'd think there are better solutions by now.

You say PHP is easy. I say that PHP is and will always be a security and scalability nightmare. And sure, it allows you to start something fast, but I can start as fast with my favorite technologies and without hitting a wall later.

And of course, PHP is nice for beginners, but at the same time I believe you're painting yourself into a corner and it's very hard to grow from there. Besides the issues above, a beginner will be curious about trying new things. CLI utilities, desktop or phone apps, statistics, automation, embedded programming, etc. PHP is unsuitable basically for anything that's not querying MySQL and then spitting an HTML back, which means the learning curve will be worse, because you've picked a very limited hammer.
an opinion is always accurate but never objective , by definition

You're beating a dead horse with that argument. Brazil has a wealth distribution problem that has little to do with corruption (though that doesn't help), and the parties in power now have been corrupt for decades. It's gonna be solved with long-term, rational public policies, education and strategic investments - like not selling out oil reserves for pennies on the dollar - and not a little bag of extra money.

Even the higher estimates for the Petrobras scandal mean the amount stolen is roughly 1% of the federal annual budget (49B vs 3.2T). If you truly believe this is the country's major issue you've been had by the same people that orchestrated it.
Funny that you bring up past numbers on revenue and profit. Andy Grove, Intel’s most celebrated CEO, used to sound a note of warning about relying too much on such metrics for decision-making.

Revenue, which is really about what has already happened, is a lagging indicator of bad news.

I have no horse in this race, but I think it is instructive to point out that after the iPhone launched in 2007, BlackBerry maker RIM would go on to attain impressive revenue numbers in its history starting in 2009 ($11,065m) and 2010 ($14,953m) before peaking in 2011 ($19,907m). It has been on a downward trajectory ever since.
I'll say what I always say: Reject the "going dark" framing. We are under vastly more surveillance than ever before, yet they want to strip us of even these last, tiny scraps of privacy we have left. Don't let them frame total surveillance as 'normal', and some small corner where they can't look as some unprecedented new development.

> ...unfair, extra-legal competitive advantage.

It is not unfair, and it is not extra-legal. Anyone can offshore their company and in some cases it can take less than an day (incorporating an LLP in the UK takes a couple of hours) with virtually zero barriers of entry, all fully compliant with the relevant legislation.

If legal regulatory arbitrage (through tax havens) is unfair, then the corollary is that any kind of business profit arising from utilising uncommon knowledge is unfair. I think this position is untenable.
>...I had a freight elevator door pin my hand and damage a bunch of nerves while I was helping someone move furniture into his illegal Brooklyn loft.

Could you expand on this a bit? What is an illegal loft in this context? Was he squatting there or was the loft just not zoned residential? Were you allowed to use the freight elevator, or was that trespass?

There's overlap between the potential client domains, but this doesn't encroach on the AR domain covered by products like Magic Leap.

And there are legitimate commercial use case for AR - e.g.: automotive manufacturing and building construction.

The biggest impacts to Magic Leap's prospects came from the premature over-hyping of the product as well as microsoft beating them to the punch with the HoloLens.
Yeah, but it doesn't spin up a thousand for every request. And it doesn't require you to start them. It starts them under the covers as part of the API.

For posterity, I'd recommend using a passphrase if you're sharing with family. If you're using the diceware method, you get 12.9~ bits of entropy per word.

The EU has an unbelievable number of tax havens. It is one of the last places in the developed world where you can genuinely clean dirty money with ease.

The last Commission President was literally the ringleader for tax theft: he was FM/PM of Luxembourg, and actively lobbied companies to domicile there, funnel revenue through Luxembourg (i.e. structuring for tax avoidance alone), and personally negotiated the 1% corporation tax deals.

...it always amazes me how little people actually understand about the EU.

Btw, the main issue for the Conservatives has been their inability to force the overseas territories to do things (what they actually think about tax havens is irrelevant now, events have moved on).
I've had the same feeling and finally came to a few conclusion that Fielding's REST architectural constraints lead to client applications that are required to utilize undefined URIs for performance gains. The reason true RESTful APIs are scarce as compared to HTTP/JSON APIs is due to API developers recognizing this issue and choosing to deal with it by making URIs part of the API contract. The REST community has offered no additional guidance or answers other than to point out (correctly) that HTTP/JSON APIs aren't truly RESTful. That is OK.

Here is a much longer comment on reddit where I go through Fielding's thesis and a few other writings and show that following the constraints pretty naturally leads to the outcome above: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2oyj65/api_des...

I bank with a shitty national bank (long story, need access to Zelle/P2P transfers). My emergency fund is 6 months expenses, low 5 figures. 150-200 basis points of interest annually is trivial when 1 or 2 wire fees ($20) to get access to those funds same day blows away all of interest gains over 6-12 months.

If interest rate mattered to folks, more would move to providers offering higher rates (you see this sprouting up with Credit Karma, Personal Capital, and other fintech startups offering cash management accounts because they're making a fee for getting deposits to underlying banks hungry for them). But that doesn't seem to be the case. Which is unfortunate, because it should be not too difficult to offer a checking account with check access, ATM access, unlimited transactions, P2P payments, mobile deposits, and interest bearing (brokerages do it living off the float [1]).

Sidenote: This focuses on personal accounts. Brex's Cash Management account seems to be a great biz banking option for those who qualify. No affiliation. Banking infra in the US sucks, which is why everyone has to be a bank.

I don't remember all of them, but one was that the dude left out the part of the alcohol-distillation procedure where you dump the liquid that comes over first, which contains most of the methanol.

In general, he doesn't provide adequate information about safety precautions. The book is like an Anarchist's Cookbook for bootstrapping—anybody who tries its recipes without further information is likely to end up dead. It should be called The Misinformation.

The thing that got me was that when I told him that there were potentially fatal errata and where to look to see if they were already known problems, he said there was no public list; I should just take the time to write up the problems without knowing whether he already knew about them or not, and there was no way for readers to find out what errors had already been reported in the version of the book they already had. I think that says more about his attitude about accuracy than any particular error in any particular version of the book.

Probably not, but those lists are more than just dangerous and deceptive sites. They also include things that individuals at Google manipulate based on their own opinions which can be one-offs or added to the lists.

From the article:
"The engineer "didn't want a piece of human anatomy or the description of a sex act to appear when someone started typing the singer's name," as the paper describes it. The unfiltered search results were "kind of horrible," he added."

That has nothing at all to do with web safety or anything fraudulent or deceptive.

Also, just because people wouldn't have a problem with that limited use (if it actually was limited to just those two things), that still doesn't make the statement not technically perjury. If you were in front of Congress and they asked you something like whether or not your business changed the design of the website the user sees based on metrics/tracking that an AI bot determines might generate more user engagement for that user, and you say "no, we don't do that" but later on you tell everyone that you're only doing it for people that opt-in, that's probably considered perjury. And I'm sure you could see why, especially if all users were set to "opt-in" by default.
