The status quo is that every company with operations in CA has to pay the CA corporate income tax based on its CA-derived taxable income. This is true regardless of where the company is incorporated. This is also broadly true for every state that collects state corporate income taxes i.e. they use their tax authority to levy tax on business activities conducted within their state.

I'm surprised this stuff is still legal, especially since even chalking tires was ruled to be trespassing and a illegal search, and looks like this is a public school too so government ran. Some of the law school students should get together and file a section 1983 civil rights lawsuit, use it to pay off some of that student debt!

So now cities have to use licence plate recognition cameras and location GPS data to see if a car moved or not since chalking is illegal, but I'm sure cities are unaware of this and still are illegally chalking cars - until someone sues and get a huge payout. Then some cities will arrest people because their children drew on the sidewalk using chalk, considering it vandalizing even though it washes off in the rain.

I'm reminded of a conversation I had with a friend about installing solar panels. When I asked how to aim the panels to optimize for the most electricity, he quickly pointed out it optimized for the wrong thing. "You point the panels for the power company, not for electricity".

And that's true. And the power company is doing the same thing, so peak power keeps shifting not for efficient electric use, but to get more revenue.

There is a difference in the bug reports: The ureq one shows a proven error - a crash. That's bad, the author acknowledges it and fixes it.

The actix issue does not show an actual error. It just tells that some internal code does not follow the usual Rust unsafe conventions, and that this might lead to a bug. It takes then some API exploitation by a third person to demonstrate how this could lead to a bug. At that point the author acknowledges the issue, even though any real world implication is still unknown.

Just out of curiosity, why not use a conditional polyfill using nomodule rather than outright breaking on something like IE11?
Because we use nomodule, the script tag will be ignored by modern browsers, while IE will fetch the polyfill. polyfill.io serves this request, and we have it include all the polyfills we require (for our use case, we just request the default plus es2015-16-17-18, plus fetch).

The beauty of the approach is that the big pollyfill payloads are only borne by the users who choose (or likely are forced by employers) to use those browser versions.

I won't speak to what "colloquial Nihilism" is because I think this will be highly dependent on your personal experiences.

I think you're basically right about what nihilism is, but I don't find the main insight to be disturbing at all. I never truly felt free, liberated, until I had that insight.

Prior to that insight, in young adulthood, I explored Hedonism and Existentialism, but it turned out that the secret is to just stop caring about it all so much and just live/die/whatever. Let it be.

It brings me joy to not care if I live or die, though my instincts will tend towards keeping me alive. It brings me joy to not care if I succeed or fail, although it's fun to Try sometimes. I enjoy trying to do right by others, raise good kids, but I don't worry about it when I fail.

It's just a ride; people get on, people get off.
No argument there. I never understood the obsession with AR-15's when their contribution to crime, over, say, the last 20 years, is basically a rounding error. The only answer is: politics taking advantage of emotion for political gains.

The best example of just how stupid the whole "assault ban gun" idea is found in Chicago, where the weekly carnage has not relented in years and the weapon of choice is nearly 100% handguns.

The problem politician have with these issues is that they can't actually get behind the reality of the problems because reality goes against their political power and invalidates all of their vote-gathering tools. If the fear-mongering about "assault rifles" was honestly matched to crime data in the public square they would, at a minimum, look like fools and if portrayed honestly, as liars and manipulators.

You're right, I doubt that the current models are enough to capture the complexity of the brain.

But models based on incredibly simple neurons can already produce quite complex behaviors. They show how many simple computing units interacting with each others can lead to things like vision. And I do believe that this is a fundamental principle.

Maybe we should explore that idea and scale this model up, instead of rejecting it as "too simple" and hoping that the complexity of the brain will be fully explained by the discovery of some quantum effect in neurons.

> As it is, ML is running away rather fast from the integrator model by introducing explicit gating and nonlinearities in the neurons.

> I’m a bit skeptical of this for a few reasons. If Amazon is in breach of contract then why is PopSockets not taking them to court? What is the gray market in this case? Buying a product similar from a different company? That just seems like a smart business tactic, IMO

The "gray market" indicate cheap knock-offs of new products.

For example, literally days after Tile released their bluetooth powered device locators, you could find cheaper knock-offs from China. These products may very well infringe Tile's patents and trademarks, but proving infringement in court takes years and costs millions of dollars. Even if you win, during that time many other knock-off manufacturers will pop up and you'll have to start all over. At that point your company will be dead. Intellectual property litigation is simply not strong enough to protect smaller companies.

So a threat to go to the gray market from Amazon, can effectively spell the doom for your company.

As an aside, while this is a problem for small companies, larger companies can usually afford to wage these large IP litigation campaigns. A good example is Bosch which sells patented windshield wiper blades. There are numerous knock-offs from China, but Bosch goes to war with each and every one. Eventually, Bosch starts earning a reputation and the knock-offs slow down. But this takes many years of heavy investment in IP enforcement and never entirely goes away. It only makes sense at very large scales, no small company could take on this burden.

> WASHINGTON—When Attorney General William
Barr returned to the Justice Department
last year, law-enforcement officials
briefed him on how encryption and other
digital-security measures were hindering
investigations into everything from child
sex abuse to terrorism.

> Mr. Barr was surprised and puzzled,
according to people familiar with the
meeting. The government was struggling
with similar problems when he first served
as attorney general nearly 30 years ago,
he told advisers. Why had they not been
solved?

So, Barr wanted to know why "not been
solved"?

It's simple, really just dirt simple: All
the king's horses and all the king's men
mostly can't hope to factor an integer of
a few thousand digits into a product of
prime numbers. For some more, there are
some good means of generating prime
numbers of at least hundreds of digits
that can be multiplied to give numbers of
thousands of digits with prime factors of
hundreds of digits.

Based on this difficulty of factoring, it's
possible to construct public key
infrastructures. The math and
corresponding source code became readily
available.

So, now anyone can construct relatively
solid means of communicating digital
information that only intended persons can
decrypt and read.

This has been the situation since Rivest,
Shamir, Adelman of RSA, Zimmerman of
Pretty Good Privacy (PGP),

Bruce Schneier, Applied Cryptography,
Second Edition: Protocols, Algorithms,
and Source Code in C, ISBN 0-471-11709-9,
John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1996.

etc.

In particular, some gang can have their
own software that they wrote themselves
and, thus, not rely on Apple, etc.

So, as in Schneier's book, that has been
the situation back to before 1996.

LOTS of people here on HN know this stuff
and much more since 1996 quite well!

So, somehow Barr has been uninformed at
least since 1996?

I HAVE to believe that by now Barr has
been given a clear, solid, fully
authoritative briefing by some world class
experts from CIA, NSA, etc. So, maybe
this WSJ article was exaggerating?

Here is a point about the past: Just for
relaxation, say, when some code that
should work doesn't, via DVD I watch some
old movies. Some of these are cinema
noir of crime dramas. In general it's
interesting to use those old movies to get
insight into what US pop culture was
like, and how different it was from the
present, those several decades ago.

In particular it gets really surprising
how in those movies the police struggled
terribly when current technology -- DNA
matching, cameras, facial recognition, and
much more -- would have made their work
much easier!

So, if Apple wants to use unbreakable
encryption to sell smartphones, around the
world, the police might have to return to
some of the techniques in those old
movies!

>It's only 'objectively true' from a narrow materialist perspective, and there are other ways to look at it.

Even though I agree with the nihilistic view, you're right. Too often people declare certain positions are 'objectively true' ("objective" in this way is usually a euphimism for "common sense" or "obvious") without actually looking at the arguments on the other side.

I don't know why people think this is more acceptable when talking about philosophical topics rather than physics or sociology.

I moved from SFBA (tried Mountain View, and SF in SOMA and Inner Richmond) because IMO it's not such a great place in every respect except tech jobs and maybe (compared to some places, to various degrees) weather.

The only way prices figure into the equation is the quality. It's not that I couldn't afford a house in Mountain View, it's that, jobs and prices aside, I'd need to be convinced to move to Mountain View from, say, San Antonio. And I wouldn't move there, or to SF, from Seattle or Denver if the prices were the same - based strictly on the quality of life the way I see it... On top of that, of course, the prices are not the same.
> Grey market is buying a companies items (not counterfeit copies) outside of the official supply chain. For example, many goods are sold cheaper in other markets. So someone could buy the item there and bring them to a market where they are usually sold for more and be able to undercut the the official supplier's prices. This is perfectly legal thanks to the First Sale Doctrine.

You're mixing up a bunch of ideas. The traditional definition of "grey market" is buying an item oversees at a low cost and then importing it into the US. For example, the identical textbook usually sells for much more in the U.S. than it does in Asia. The supreme court has indeed ruled that the First Sale doctrine allows people to buy that book in Asia, then sell it back to someone in the U.S. for more.

However, the first sale doctrine only applies to copyright, not patents. It hasn't yet been decided as to patents.

More meaningfully though, the meaning of the term "grey market" has expanded. It used to refer to authorized items sold overseas, but now it more generally refers to items with questionable IP rights. When Amazon is using the term "grey market", they are referring to counterfeits and infringing products as well.
I sympathize with your position but I think we need to imagine the counter argument the state would make. That argument would be "you don't understand the determination of the state. If you are correct and the threat exists in basic arithmatic and if we determine the threat is too great, we outlaw basic arithmatic. That is the level the state will go to." See O'Brien's speech in concerning "if we determine that 1+1 equals 3, we will make 1+1 equal 3", etc.

IE, yes, it's impossible but that still doesn't mean they keep trying harder and harder and more and more destructively.

I think GP is referring to the idea that there is no yet identified physical mechanism that identifies the arising of consciousness in terms of properties of matter or energy, to which (if I understand GP correctly) physics restricts itself to. Leibniz put the objection to the mechanical materialist conception of consciousness/perception in 1714:

>One is obliged to admit that perception and what depends upon it is inexplicable on mechanical principles, that is, by figures and motions. In imagining that there is a machine whose construction would enable it to think, to sense, and to have perception, one could conceive it enlarged while retaining the same proportions, so that one could enter into it, just like into a windmill. Supposing this, one should, when visiting within it, find only parts pushing one another, and never anything by which to explain a perception. Thus it is in the simple substance, and not in the composite or in the machine, that one must look for perception.
