I'm curious where you're from that you think doesn't have a similar history, but it still boils down to "if you don't have a racism problem it's not actually racist." I don't get that logic, you can argue it's not harmful but it's still racism.

"Recent technology nodes such as 22 nm, 16 nm, 14 nm, and 10 nm refer purely to a specific generation of chips made in a particular technology. It does not correspond to any gate length or half pitch. Nevertheless, the name convention has stuck and it's what the leading foundries call their nodes"

..."At the 45 nm process, Intel reached a gate length of 25 nm on a traditional planar transistor. At that node the gate length scaling effectively stalled; any further scaling to the gate length would produce less desirable results. Following the 32 nm process node, while other aspects of the transistor shrunk, the gate length was actually increased"

>They’d have been better off if they had executed Grexit than be saddled paying off German banks.

Yeah, the scheme works like this:

- Greek state was bankrupt

- German banks and financial interests were over-exposed

- Germany used EU and EU funds to "aid Greece". The funds are not used in Greece in any way, but to repaid the debt, so its basically EU -> Greece -> German banks. Germany benefits tremendously, Greece is merely kept on life support (still bankrupt, still with the same -and bigger debt as before the "aid", just with a credit line that goes straight to debtors, e.g. mostly exposed German banks), and Greek state is forced to sell assets for 1/10th the price for select German and other players (with political and economic pressure as to which those would be).

- IMF piles on, pushing its own agenda (deregulation and other neoliberal/anti-welfare etc policies)

So it's basically a swindle on the EU populations, to make them pay for German banks using Greece as an intermediary + a way to not let Greece default, but have it suffer a fate worse than default (mostly, selling everything to the lowest bidder and still being in the same piled-on debt).

Well, that would be German elites. German people still paid like other Europeans for this scheme -- though the transaction also benefitted Germany economically, so somethings trickled.
there are still evolutionary justifications which I'm sympathetic to now and then, but mostly not. In many (most?) cases, understanding if something should be one-one or one-many is known up front. Or should be known. We have decades of examples of best practices with many common data structures. Hard coding a customer account to only ever have one address, for example - no. I don't buy that justification - a customer/address thing - for any size company/project - should just be modeled as one-many (at least). It may be slightly more 'work' up front, but that work avoids potentially major breaking changes and work later on.

I get countered with "YAGNI" now and then, but after 25+ years of doing this (and, again, decades of examples of your exact use cases already in google ready to learn from), I can usually tell when you ARE going to need it.

UX is tough. So tough it has it's own speciality field. Programmers are not UX'ers. That's fine. We can't be accountable for everything. We would however benefit from a better sense of empathy for users, as well as a more holistic view of "the product."

The medium (code) should align with the message (experience).

Long to short, not a single user wake up and think "Today I want to use a product based on Technology X, Y and/or Z."
If your technical lead doesn't understand your "vision" or perceives that it has major problems, or has deep concerns about process and attrition rate and doesn't feel they can communicate them because the last time they tried you "literally ran away", then that is unquestionably a failure of management.

If I understand it, the point is to avoid cash transactions that cannot be taxed. One article I read pointed out that the 30% would include rent or mortgage payments, utility bills, and such things.

Personally, I would find it easy to hit almost 100% of the transactions I make electronically - I use cash rarely now (living in France, no cash tips etc.).

I think I would struggle to only spend 25% of my income, though. Even if I am saving a lot, once I pay rent, family groceries, utilities, phone and internet, I’d be past that. If you don’t mind to share, how do you manage to spend so little of your income? There’s always room for me to save more, and I’d love a couple of tips.

>> Tax evasion has been labelled a "Greek national sport" and it was estimated in 2016 to cost the country's coffers up to €16 billion every year, largely through fraud on VAT or income tax.

Although I've made this joke myself in the past, about tax evasion being our national sport, it's insulting to see it repeated by an Australian publisher. Personally, I've only had to pay taxes abroad, in the UK, where there was no opportunity to evade them (because they were directly deducted from my salary - I'm a PhD student now hence the past tense). I wouldn't really say I'm an expert tax evader.

That said, any discussion of taxation and tax avoidance in Greece as well as the rest of South-Eastern Europe must also take into account the sorry state of public services, which tax money is meant to support. It's a chicken-and-egg problem, but it's easy to see why nobody would want to be the malakas who pays their taxes properly only for their tax money to disappear down the black hole of corruption before having any chance to improve the national health service, education, our roads, etc etc. Taxation makes sense when it's spent to improve and maintain the commons - not to line politicians' pockets.

Of course, that's not absolving my fellow Greeks of responsibility. Corruption is high in Greece because we support corrupt politicians with our votes, and because we have done so for three generations since the "metapolitefsis", the change to democracy after the years of the military dictatorship (ended in 1974). To wit, Kyriakos Mitsotakis (the current prime minister, pictured in the article) is the second Mitsotakis to be prime minister, grandson of the first - and his mom is also an MP. And before him we had Papandreou I (in the '50s), II and III and also Karamanlis I and II to rule us (and all their friends and cousins as MPs). We keep voting the same "houses" in power and then complain that they suck us dry and destroy the economy. And then of course it's every man and woman for themselves.

It's a fucked up situation and we are very much guilty for our choices over the years. But silly jokes about national sports don't help to get to the heart of the issue, or convey its seriousness.
Tax evasion isn't as widespread as you'd believe. Most people don't work in "grey or black markets" over here.

Business do tax evade, most people can not and do not.

There are ways to check on businesses and fine them appropriately without screwing your citizens. Unfortunately, that's not in the cards.
There's no way to know in advance what someone will learn from an experience. You also don't know what they learn 'now', and what they might reevaluate and relearn years from now about that same situation. Basing your response decision primarily around what someone might learn isn't a great way to decide how to respond.

Couple folks I'm working with right now, and I had thought a couple of times "well, this wasn't a great scenario, but at least they'll learn ABC from it". One did, one didn't, and keeps making the same moves (I hesitate to say 'mistakes', but in my view they are).

I might be oversimplifying. Tax evasion becomes necessary when one knows they'd lose more money (than necessary) to taxes, especially when the benefits of the tax has not been or cannot be felt. If that's the situation, taxing becomes an exercise of government just because of nation and economic theories. The way to solve that isn't to surveil earnings and spending. It is to make a good case for why people should pay taxes. And usually, it involves spending the current tax money well.

Agreed.

I think it's probably a matter of degree or "tiers" of clothing.

It is probably almost always in one's best interest to buy from a higher quality (but not necessarily luxury) brand.[1] For example buying Levi jeans rather than Wrangler or a store brand.

Some people will notice if you are wearing a particularly high end item, but once you reach that "high end tier" there is probably diminishing returns for getting the highest of the high end. For example, I have had people notice the Swiss watch that my father gave me. However, it is basically the entry tier model for Swiss watches and I doubt I would get much benefit from instead wearing a more expensive model. For men at least, I suspect that wearing a luxury brand is probably more effective for accessories and shoes since mens fashion tends to follow a strategy of conservative clothing with more flashy accessories.

I think there is also a lot to be said for having some specific style even if it isn't fancy. For example, G-Shock digital watches aren't particularly "fashionable" but they are known for being very high quality. If someone who cares about watches noticed you wearing one they might not consider it professional or fashionable but they would likely recognize that you cared about your appearance enough to buy quality.

[1] When I say "always" I'm meaning for a professional with a good income. I realize that for people with lower incomes fashionable clothing may not be the best priority.

Were they bad at their jobs? Maybe their job wasn't actually doing good work. It was getting the company purchased for 1.1 billion dollars.

Not the company I want to work at either where that's your job, but it's apparently a lot of the world.

Once I understood this, it made a lot of organizational behavior make more sense to me. It didn't make me like it. But most organizations aren't actually oriented around doing quality work (of any kind of work, internal or external). That is not the job anyone is actually set up to do or incentivized to do. And I'm not totally sure they'd succeed as organizations if they were, that's not the way the world is set up, apparently. Yes, I am having some cynicism problems.

Yes, and that's a step up from a blank slate for every generation. But humans take it much further by creating powerful abstractions, and transmitting specifics and abstractions in a form that survives the death of the original creator.

I can read Newton's Principia online, or take an undergrad physics course. His insights are still shaping our world view even though he's been dead for centuries now.

Only humans have worked out how to abstract the intelligence from individuals into lasting communications that don't require face-to-face transmission.

Unfortunately we've only done this about selective topics. Personal relationships and political and economic systems still work relatively badly because they don't have anything equivalent to the cumulative summary, insight, and abstraction processes at the core of science and technology.

Best practices for side projects (US):

- Never give work full rights to everything you make on your own time.

- Never use company hardware, software, time or offices to develop a side project you might want to monetize commercially later.

- Charge work a "1 node license fee" of $1 with an invoice and a standard commercial software EULA if you intend to try your creation at work. Also specify that it includes maintenance for the duration of your employment and that all modifications, including those made on work time and on work hardware, are your property and that they are granted a license to them for 1 node.

IANAL.
Surely there are better ways to achieve this. Off the top of my head:

* Force business to accept electronic payments.

* Reduce the number of ATMs

* Limit ATMs to lower denomination notes

* Increase VAT for cash payments
That sounds like an ugly hack and I suspect that tax evasion reporter bounties would probably work better but I don't know their system and problems in details beyond "rampant tax evasion and loopholes in an economy that isn't as advanced as it should be".

I had a related thought while having breakfast. A hypothetical transparent economy where everyone had open ledgers of transactions and how utopian or dystopian it would wind up.

Money laundering still be possible in that system - any uncertain value fudged up or down in exchange for illicit hidden transactions would work for that practice.
>I'm curious where you're from that you think doesn't have a similar history, but it still boils down to "if you don't have a racism problem it's not actually racist." I don't get that logic

Note that I never said "If a place doesn't have a racism problem then them doing racist acts is OK / it's not racist".

My argument is "Places with heavy racist history tend to look at all kind of non-racist acts as racist, either from guilt or to overcompensate, and then try to force their hyper-sensitivity on others".

Instead of getting sensitive about stereotypes like "Irish can hold a grudge", "the Italians like pasta", "Scots are tightwads", "Germans have no humor", "Greeks are fiscally irresponsible", "Asians do everything better" or whatever as "racism", better act on actual racism, like systemic racism, redlining, over-representation of blacks in what's the biggest prison population in the world, racist cop shootings, college admissions, under-funded districts, WASP domination, etc.
I agree the victim was probable pinned at knee level for the initial trauma. However according to the article, bystanders were able to push the car back and then it rolled forward again pinning the victim a second time. Given that he had just (probably) had his knees injured, it's possible he was much lower to the ground during the second impact: if he were sitting or crouching, then he could have suffered pelvic, abdominal, or thoracic injury, all of which are life threatening. Anyway, all of this is speculation without confirmed details.

(Edit: typos.)
Hehe, I had just edited my comment to mention Mapbox, then I noticed your reply. :)
Came here to write almost exactly this!

I've been thinking for a while now about building a system like this. There is one particular set of traffic lights on my commute which causes 45-60 minute delays at peak times. I've wondered how some small changes to timings of the light might reduce some of that, and was thinking about building something to simulate it and test my theory.

The other thing that is interesting about traffic patterns is how truly connected the entire network of roads are. You can have a collision on a major road which has a big impact on roads several miles away. I've always thought it would be fun to visualize that somehow, to determine not just the immediate effects of a change to a road system, but how it effects other commuter routes.

Definitely going to play around with this. Kudos to the author.
