Well, dcolkitt was talking about imputed income in the context of tax advantages. I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that the subtext was that people who own houses should be taxed on the "imputed income" as if it were real income. That raised my hackles - perhaps wrongly.

Still... there's something funny in the "imputed income" accounting. Let's say I buy a house for $500,000. I live in it. I don't pay rent, though the house would rent for $4000/month.

Or, let's say I buy the same house, but don't live in it. I live somewhere else instead, paying $4000/month in rent. But I also rent out the house I own, receiving $4000/month in rent for that house. My net is $0... except that I probably pay taxes on the $4000/month I receive. But if dcolkitt's point is not that should have to pay taxes on the "imputed income" of owning my house, then the "imputed income" is exactly offset by the "imputed foregone income" - I could have rented out the house, but I didn't.
There is. Drop a note to the HR group and board of directors at their employer. Make specific allegations and supply proof if you have it.
I suspect you'd have had far easier success with a BSCS on your resume. I can't imagine trying to get into this field without having had a degree -- it is a hard industry to get into.

I keep hearing about gender discrimination, and maybe this is a market segment thing, but everywhere I've worked is actively recruiting female devs. Also the places I've worked as a dev typically require a CS degree though for what that's worth. Many of them even require an MSCS -- I've actually been turned down for one job because even though I have an MS it wasn't an MSCS (gov contracts get very specific).

> But it still makes me feel better a thief will get $30, not $300, for my phone -- that's often enough of a difference between it being worth it or not.

Typically the value of a computer is about the same as the sum of its parts, because otherwise plenty of people would be up for a $270 profit by buying $30 worth of parts and assembling them to sell as a $300 computer.

> And if people are dropping these off for recycling, isn't the expectation that they're being used for parts at best anyways? If they're high enough value to actually be refurbished and resold, then it's worth putting the recycling bins behind cashiers or similar, who are trained to first verify they're unlocked before accepting them.

It's generally the other way around. The less a computer is worth (and so the less the parts are worth), the more you want to try to sell it as a whole unit to minimize transaction overhead because the fixed overhead is a larger percentage of the sale price on less expensive hardware.
The danger is releasing a more expensive chip that is no faster at running existing 32-bit code and having no phone manufacturers opt to use it.

I think in a private company you'd need to prove not only that the hiring was a waste of funds since the person was ineffective but also that they premeditated and succeeded at damaging the company during their tenure to get a general ruling that'd result in jailtime or a government enforced fine - the other recourse a company might have is if they committed fraud when they signed their employment contract.

I think it'd be extremely dangerous for private corporations to run to the government for enforcement in the case that this sort of fraud occurs and that it'd be well if judges were highly skeptical of employers - otherwise, given the power imbalance of employers, they may be able to abuse such a system to subsidize their labour costs.

Private employers should also be given no opportunity to reclaim any costs arising from such a situation[1], as that too could be too easily abused.

1. And currently they are not, if you've ever wondered why nearly every employer prorates vacation time even for senior employees it's because if, on Jan 1, you took all your vacation days and then quit - there is no legal way for the company to try and reclaim the wages you were erroneously paid out - though if there was any pending funds coming to you (a bonus for instance) the company can usually deduct costs from those funds or just wholly withhold them, depending on the way that payment was described.

Looking at the technical bits, I can't help but feel that you've failed to communicate it well. Case in point, the caption for the edge detection image of the girl:

> “…providing interactive access over a worldwide computer network to the plural fashion images, together with access to the fashion data for the fashion items in each of the plural fashion images and the information linking to the vendors of the fashion items…”

This sentence (with ellipsis!) does not appear anywhere else in the article, so right off the bat it's hard to understand what you're trying to convey. Secondly, it's insanely verbose, the whole sentence can be boiled down to "hosting fashion images with relevant metadata". If it's an excerpt from one of your patents, then without context it only muddles the situation — it makes it seem like you either don't know how to communicate your tech or you're trying to mislead.
> I'm just saying the "it's not appropriate to pressure a company for political views, companies should be off limits from politics"

You haven't actually presented a supporting argument for it, though.

What exactly is the problem with applying pressure to get a corporation to stop taking money from an organization/corporation/government/person that you find immoral?

You are interfering with their freedom of association. You must weigh the morality of that violation vs what you hope to gain. It's not an obvious answer and is why the example of Boeing selling bombers actively being used to bomb civilians is misleading and why I objected to it.

I'm aware of the UK container issue. But the one man is not the only monster. Look to your politicians as well for allowing such smuggling to have become popular. Similar issues have been a frequent occurrence in the US over the years in southern border states. Lack of internal enforcement is one of the biggest drivers. E-verify and crackdowns on employers of illegal immigrants could make the such smuggling pointless, causing it to dry up quickly.

I'm generally of the opinion that Go is less verbose than Java as well, but I'm of the impression that a lot has changed in Java since I last used it. It now has lambdas and other niceties, for example. Go has error boilerplate and lacks generics. Personally, I think Go's boilerplate is less of a big deal in general (Java's generics, lambdas, and exception handling come with their own issues which are often more significant than Go's boilerplate). Mostly I just don't think a debate about which language has less boilerplate will be very enlightening.
i don't know what's the max expiration for amp's cache, but i could set a really-long expiration date on the file and remove it from the server without the bank ever knowing it existed. SGX don't even require an upload - one disgruntled employee could do the same with a stolen key.

It's pretty satisfying seeing how many perfectly good looking iPhones on Facebook Marketplace in my city have to spell out "parts only". I ended up just buying a $200 iPhone 8 from Amazon Renewed instead of looking for a legit seller.

Repair shops can buy them up for cheap and legitimate owners get cheaper 3rd party repairs, though at the unfortunate expense of the theft victim. But at least the "middle man" doesn't get a huge payoff.
In my opinion, if Go does one thing exactly right, it's the "OOP". That is, interfaces and explicit receiver arguments in functions. Interfaces are extendable, classes are not, because there are no classes per se, let alone abstract classes.

Maybe conforming to an interface without explicitly declaring it (like you declare an instance of a typeclass in Haskell) may look like a controversial decision. I still think it does more good by removing boilerplate than bad by accepting an object as conforming to an interface in a rare case when you did not mean it.

How is signing content directly less authentic than signing only at the web server? Signing content directly at the time of publishing ensures that it was created using the private keys of the entity in question, regardless of the delivery mechanism for the content.

> one may manage to upload an html file to the bank's server and serve a -signed- page that google amp will cache,

Signed content exchanges specifically limit that by putting the content signing step at the content creator level, not the web server level. Unless you steal the content creator's private keys, you can't represent your content as theirs.
There are plenty of mocking frameworks for C# (Moq, FakeItEasy, etc), but for all but the most trivial classes, you generally need to use an interface or mark methods as virtual.

Yes, I am not from US so I have very little understanding of ICE other than a few policy problems on the surface.

Since it would achieve very little, but wouldn't it be better to actually have the contract and has all its profits funded to an organisation against ICE?

After all it is not that ICE in itself that is wrong, it is the policy maker or the government. ( Forgive me if this is not correct )

Funding a political side that abolish ICE, wouldn't that be better?

Anecdotally, I know a couple of people who work at Amazon warehouses which I haven't seen mentioned in the media, and they tell me they haven't seen any of the safety issues others are reporting, and that they take safety procedures pretty seriously. I'm in a locale that is very business friendly.

Maybe this issue is specific to certain locations, markets, or segments of the logistics chain. I'd imagine that employee turnover, the products being shipped, the tasks being performed, and product volume varies significantly based on the particular location. They have a lot of facilities doing a lot of different things. The media usually mentions 'fulfillment' specifically with these articles, but that's only one part of their logistics operations.
There are other, more efficient ways of handling dependency version conflicts than having an isolated env where each module is downloaded specifically for that env.

Which is why I wish there was better data available about gender differences in ability and interest for programming.

However coming at it from the opposite end, remove all barriers that you can find, and work to make sure your hiring process hires women and men who perform equivalently on the job. As long as those are true, you are probably doing about as well as you can to get the best workforce you can.

Note "who perform equivalently on the job" is a subtle and important criteria. As an example, men tend to have an advantage on standardized tests. Therefore I am firmly in support of such measures as adjusting SAT scores to be better predictors of class performance, and then removing all signs of gender from applications before passing them to the hiring committee. Not with the goal of achieving any particular mix of men/women, but with the goal of getting the best performing class that you can from the available applicants.
If we could build subways for about of half the current low price by world standards (Spain or Turkey) cost most cities would have subways. However since New York "insists" on paying about 7x what Spain would for the same amount of subway it is just barely worth it to build the SAS, and anything with even slightly less ridership potential is a waste of money.

I have seen a lot of explanations of why the US pays so much more - they tend to not hold up. Note that last time congress asked the question the bill did not allow examining non-US construction for the report - something to write your congressman about.

> AFAIK they've had no luck replicating their success outside Japan

Anecdata, in the US I knew someone in college that made enough to sustain themselves by doing arbitrage of Lululemon clothing on mainly Mercari, but also poshmark and eBay. The market was active enough for an individual to maintain 50-100 items in stock consistently buying and selling.

Mercari would automatically provide a USPS label, or would give the seller the option of shipping themselves. Mercari wouldn't go so far as "ship from here on this date," but was more of a "let us know that you sent it."

I can't remember which directions, but for buyer/seller conflicts mercari support leaned heavily towards one side, poshmark the other.

There's no good way to ever handle this, ever - even without activation locks. Not worth worrying about, send the device to the registered owner and let the courts deal with it if people want to get bitchy with their former partner.
This one is egregiously bad.
It's about time white collar crimes are taken as seriously as other crimes. If you break into someone's home and steal $10,000, no one bats an eye over imprisonment. But if you steal $100,000 from taxpayers, you suddenly become a lot more sympathetic.

I wonder to what extent this is because burglary is committed by people who are poor and not well educated, whereas white collar crimes are committed by people who look just like your friends and colleagues.

Isn't the price like $12 a year? So prepaying 10 years would be $120? That's not an insignificant amount, but it's not like you're going to make a life-changing profit by investing it either.

No, this is the fallacy of the status quo. The stance you’re espousing is a political one, but since it’s the way things are it’s not recognizing as such. Which is, of course, the nature of the status quo.

The stance that you’ll sell to anyone regardless of politics is a political choice. It has, past and present, been used to absolve oneself for one’s choices and provide cover for terrible things

People react negatively to this (by downvoting my comments, for instance) because acknowledging one’s responsibility is frightening.

> Scala is the most expressive and powerful language on the JVM, hands down.

So I'd agree with that statement...

> do yourself a favor and use Scala

...but not that one.

I've found that Scala gets too expressive, much the same way that writing production code in Common Lisp or Haskell can be slower than just writing it in Python. It offers incredibly powerful abstraction capabilities that can often dramatically reduce the amount of code you write; but at some point you end up spending more time hunting for the perfect abstraction than actually writing the code. The ideal programming language (for productivity at least, not necessarily for fun or erudition) is one that melts into the background when you program so that you can focus on the problem domain rather than the program. That's the main appeal of languages like Go, Java, and Python: they offer just enough power to write the program, but not so much that you can write the program in a dramatically better way and end up tempted to try and find that way. Kotlin embraces the "it's just a better Java" approach: it's a minor re-skinning of the concepts in Java, and to the extent that it introduces new language features (like closures, lambdas, properties, data classes, anonymous objects, type inference, and immutability), they're all concepts that skilled Java programmers would be immediately familiar with but would otherwise have to write lots of boilerplate for.

The Java interop story is also better with Kotlin, because Scala introduces abstractions for which there are no obvious Java equivalents, and hence there's an impedance mismatch when you try to envision how your Java libraries might fit into your Scala program. Kotlin's designers took care to make sure that there's an easy, intuitive mapping between Kotlin concepts and Java ones, usually one that had already been enshrined in existing Java conventions (eg. JavaBeans work nicely with properties, functional objects with lambdas), so most Java libraries just work in an obvious way. Basically they intentionally made it dumber so you don't have to think about as much, which is a win for everyday programming.
