>thank you! Yes, we take a 5% cut like Kickstarter.

So if someone donates $1, I would receive 95c in my bank account?

How do you make money on this when Stripe is likely charging you quite a bit more than 5c in transaction fees?
Some exhaustive testing on all amounts from $0.01 through $999.99 in $0.01 increments and all taxes from 0.01% through 99.99% in increments of 0.01% show that this is the minimum that does the trick (switching to C from Python for speed):

unsigned long tax = (unsigned long)round(amt * rate * 1000000);
return tax/(10000) + (fmod(tax, (double)(10000)) - (double)(5000) > -1e-5 ? 1 : 0);

(Yes, I see that I goofed in translation your code to C and typed -1e-5 instead of -1e-7. It looks like the results are the same with -1e-7).

I also tested that up through $9999.99 with taxes up to 12%, and no problems.

Adding another 0 to the 1000000, the two 10000's, and the 5000 works. And another, and another. Past that it starts to fail, but not the simple off-by-one failures you get when you don't use enough digits. These are way way off, so I'm guessing its running into some new class of problem. I haven't looked to see what that is yet.
Wow, 10 lb turkeys. He would be aghast at trying to knock off a 22 lb Foster Farms turkey. :-)

One could make the argument that a turkey cooker that used an electrical current would be both more efficient and result in a more even cooking. Assuming the turkey was brined before cooking (fairly common), as the brine evaporates the conductivity goes down and the current would redirect to lest cooked areas. As a result cooking the entire bird evenly.

It's a good thing you're not forced to move at that point, then. If your home value goes up, you've got a lot more equity you can borrow against. There are many investment vehicles at that point that are very low risk and will cover the meager 1% property tax (less in CA) you'll be paying.

I definitely see a certain culture of men that glom onto things like beer or bicycles or coding and making that their identity. It is because of this that they are seen as "Mentrifying" those hobbies. I do think that there is some risk in those groups alienating those without the same passion from becoming involved in those hobbies. In fact one of the reasons I don't golf anymore is exactly this. Golf culture is intensly insular and full of arrogant people (not to say that all are this way or maybe it has changed since I last golfed).

Honestly IRC is better now than it ever was.

All the skiddies and people that chase the latest hot centralized proprietary web based gif machines are gone leaving only thousands of highly experienced folks who understand how computers work at a low level, maintain their own personal and server operating systems, and love a good problem to dig into and solve.

We also love the random curious new-world person that wanders in wanting to learn our ways ;)

If you are wondering where all the maintainers to your favorite FOSS software are... They never left IRC because they largely prefer to keep the internet decentralized and support open standards.

About the only thing competing with IRC is matrix.org which even has a fancy GUI if you are into that... And it bridges to IRC so you can join those channels too.
Pretty much everyone in a tech job could afford to buy 40TB of storage at home, or remotely and mirror the entire repo. I think that given this low barrier of entry if you can afford to help preserve the information then you can and probably should. Even if a small amount do it it's more points of recovery.
If you squint this looks like a baby step towards computers writing code.

Well, that’s inexcusable behavior BUT - we can safely assume they ended up hiring somebody else, who had a degree. In other words, somebody who was as qualified as he was, but who also had a degree. In other other words, somebody more (maybe only slightly more, but still more) qualified. Requiring some sort of a degree is still reasonable, up until the point where a position actually goes unfilled due to it.
If I wanted to answer your question, I would basically repeat everything you said. Not sure what you need to know beyond what you know. It depends, and depending on your use case you should pick from the options you laid out for the reasons you laid out!

Here's from Michael Inzlicht, one of the people who started stereotype threat research in the first place:

> I edited an entire book on stereotype threat, I have signed my name to an amicus brief to the Supreme Court of the United States citing stereotype threat, yet now I am not as certain as I once was about the robustness of the effect. I feel like a traitor for having just written that; like, I’ve disrespected my parents, a no no according to Commandment number 5. But, a meta-analysis published just last year suggests that stereotype threat, at least for some populations and under some conditions, might not be so robust after all. P-curving some of the original papers is also not comforting. Now, stereotype threat is a politically charged topic and I really really want it to be real. I think a lot more pain-staking work needs to be done before I stop believing (and rumor has it that another RRR of stereotype threat is in the works), but I would be lying if I said that doubts have not crept in. ...

It only got worse since 2016.
It could be explained by lots of things — my point was that population differences in abilities that can be learned will obviously result if the population doesn’t have a uniform opportunity to practice those abilities uniformly, so it’s hard to avoid explaining the lack of learning by the lack of abilities without becoming circular.

It’s biological fact that brains are extremely plastic, and I’m sure we all know (or are) people who have rendered “innate” talents or lack thereof irrelevant by the application of study and practice. If cultural biases limit practice in a population, that population will certainly skew lower in ability as a result.
It seems part of the problem is that only health insurance premiums that exceed 10% of your income are tax-deductible. Insurance through employers comes fully from pre-tax income. This amounts to a significant penalty to those obtaining insurance separate from employment.

Does anyone know why this is the case?

Does Corporate Debt, or Corporate Debt per GDP actually matters?

There are many companies that are Cash Rich and holding Debt, for example Apple has $100B debt but $200B cash. And due to the way US Tax Multinational companies, most of them have Oversea Cash and they are holding Debt in US borrowing against those cash.

And hence the Risk of those Debt, If they are Cash Rich, then it really isn't much of a problem. Or Earning Per Debt Ratio, if they are any higher than previous era.

Both are far more important than say Interest Rate of Total Debt. A Normal person have $1B Debt might have been shocking, I doubt Bill Gate holding a one billion debt would cause much of a problem.

I dont have any data or answer on hand, so I dont know if those debt are really a problem for now.

I worry a lot more about China's Corporate Debt than US's debt.
Nope, not correct.

False dichotomy. Some people may feel the weight of group membership more than others. Just cause group membership is the cause does not imply there is no personal solution. It’s both. I’m not gonna solve this for everyone but I can solve it for myself. It’s stupid to ignore my upbringing and blame it instead on just personal failure.
I don't think people in those jobs are more susceptible to bribery, but the jobs themselves enable and support it. A person could bribe me at my job, but even if I took the money there is oversight and someone would see something was mishandled and I'd be quickly fired.

The systems in place to prevent doctors and scientists from taking money to push drugs or falsify data are failing us which is how companies regularly use scientists to get whatever results they want published and drug companies bribe doctors to prescribe harmful medications unnecessarily.

Anyone can be bribed, but not many of us could get away with it at the scale that brought us things like the opioid crises and few of us have literal lives at stake when we are tempted to act unethically.

In ages past, before the Reinheitsgebot, the brewers would have their own proprietary blend of gruit, some of which even included hops. I believe some modern brewers have attempted to revive the tradition, many using Sitka spruce tips as the primary flavoring element. A unique proprietary blend of flavorants would certainly be a competitive advantage over all those beers that just use the four major bittering herbs: hops, more hops, even more hops, and a final "screw you" shovelful of hops.

In double-blinded taste tests conducted in my home, the adults concluded that Vienna lagers are the best, and IPAs are the worst.

So I would like to subscribe to your theory that brewers that are bad at brewing just throw more hops at the problem, so they can more easily sell their mistakes. Got some skunk's bathwater? Throw some hops in it!

The IPA was invented because beer shipped to India acquired off flavors due to the longer travel times. It is almost by definition bad beer.

Why should I care about upgrading versions, though? From my perspective making some program P where I've decided to pull in a dependency on library L, I'm only interested in getting a new version of L if (1) it has some new feature I want or (2) there is a relevant security vulnerability. I don't see what is gained by trying to ask for newer versions of libraries than those I've specifically requested.
I am not an expert on the topic, but I believe that in the former Soviet Union it was common between mathematicians to pass around preprints (a la arXiv). These then perculated through to the West. I think it had to do with the USSR and their restrictive (if we are being euphemistic) policies towards academics.
> the hardware would be sitting there sleeping. Probably not very cost-effective for enterprises.

Not to be condescending, but idle hardware isn't even on the radar as far as waste goes in enterprises. An on-prem solution that is idle for 364 days of the year is completely fine for most of these companies.

For the ones that do care, that's what they make virtual machines and over-subscription for if they even care the slightest about that.

I've seen a biology professor, writing a biology children's picture book, with unusual care, who seemed in part motivated by not being seen by their peers as having gotten it wrong.

I've recently seen comments that since it's HN, voluminous uninformed conversation is fine, and without harm.

So absent ego threat, or clear social norms, the next line of defense for quality is... comment votes? Which seems more a mechanism for norm enforcement than creation.

The HN comment guidelines don't actually recommend "thoughtful and substantive", only that that should increase as topics get divisive. The emphasis seems respectful and curious discussion. That combination might tend towards quality, but perhaps has failure modes. Like concentrations of poorly informed discussion, perhaps less than ideally respectful and curious, either discouraging quality, or taking too long to shift towards it?

One argument for discussion fora supporting personalized filtering, is the speculation that virtual subpopulations might create and sustain norms more easily than an unfiltered population can filter comments.
>My uncharitable pet theory is this: A certain class of men (sometimes women, but it's almost always men) get interested in something and then desire to make it part of their identity.

So hacker news and technophiles? Good grief you sound worse than the people you are criticizing. Heaven forbid people like something.

They're all "Richard Scarry" jobs where you can still make a living being the "best" in a small area. Few people aspire to become a butcher or carpenter or farmer any more because different aspects of modern living have removed the ownership of these roles (or rendered them completely obsolete).

Brewing (alongside baking) is one of a few jobs to actually resurrect itself as a luxury good where it is lucrative to stay small.

Seems to me the big problem with any kind of retail queue is highly inconsistent service times. If you have a consistent time/ customer, it's easy to predict. As soon as you have some customers taking 20 minutes and some taking 2 minutes all the simple math goes out the window. This is why some people get so infuriated when they see the person in the front of the line break out a fist full of coupons, food stamps, or wants to pay with a check. It's also why so many businesses use a single queue with multiple tellers/ cashiers.

Strictly false. There is gomvpkg[1]. The absolutely ironic thing is
that it's still stuck in the GOPATH mode, despite being a part of the
official x/tools repo, but it's not “absolutely nothing”.

I agree. Honestly, the slow progress in moving the community's

a massive failure on the Go authors' side. That just means that they
haven't made the move easy and simple enough.

Running a brewery is generally far easier than running any other kind of alcoholic establishment. The permits are often easier and the hours are limited. One successful approach I've seen is to locate cheap light industrial space around well paying businesses in areas with horrible traffic. You'll capture a well behaved, affluent clientele and only need to open from 4-9pm. Even in towns with a saturated brewery market (San Diego...), there are areas which still need breweries because of the effects of traffic. Many folks would much rather wait for traffic to die down with a beer in their hands, and maybe grab a quick food truck dinner.
I work in a rural library (not a librarian, however). Our computer section is abysmal. The books we do get, however, are expensive and don't check out often. This is not a good combination.

It's sad when social networks and messaging platforms die. Every major one I've gotten invested in has gone belly up: AIM, Xanga, Yahoo Messanger, MSN, Myspace, and now Facebook is hemmoraging users.

The point is, don't get too invested in a messaging platform or social network because they don't last forever.
