"Structuring" is only to do with violating the "spirit" of the paperwork rules, tending to avoid detection of taxable or otherwise regulatable activity.

It is separate from the rules about what you are legally obligated to pay in taxes, which generally apply to total amount transacted/gained and aren't affected by the size of individual transactions.
At some point, engineering gets displaced by short-term business concerns, driven by managers who have incentives to cut costs and deliver faster even if it destroys the company in the long term. Make a management chain long enough, and most of the decisions will get made this way. Each layer in the hierarchy serves both to insulate decision-makers from the impacts of their decisions and to amplify perverse incentives (e.g. a VP is asked to cut costs, who asks a middle manager to use cheaper solutions for problem X and recoup costs where possible, who asks a direct manager to spend no more than $Y and Z weeks on problem X, and the engineers can no longer do it safely).

This happens all the time, everywhere. I think of “good company culture” as a temporary, unstable situation. Any movement away from that position will accelerate towards failure.

The entire system is not necessarily engineered to avoid accountability, but the system encourages people to figure out a way to avoid accountability, and so you end up with this.

As another example, take a look at clothing companies which use child labor to produce cheap clothing. The companies don’t directly employ the children, but they use a chain of contractors and subcontractors. Each layer in the chain makes it more likely that leadership is unaware of ground truth, and with this many links in the chain, a top-level directive to cut costs will inevitably end up with something like child labor at the bottom, because it’s cheap. If you get bad press coverage for it, you look to assign blame to a specific link in the chain, fire that contractor, and then rehire someone else (but the chain repairs itself around the missing link and you end up with the same child laborers working for you).

Systems are usually to blame more than people are.

When elections are this close, it's impossible to say that any one factor had "nothing to do" with the outcome.

It was clear this was going to be a problem after the 2000 Presidential election came down to a few semi-literate Floridians. One definition of "chaos" is a system involving large numbers with sensitive dependence on very small margins, and that's what we have here.

Edit: Well, I guess we're still hearing from the semi-literate Floridians. What are the high schools teaching kids about that election, anyway?
A quick Google suggests 'cajas' is closer to a credit union, though I'd love to hear more about the difference between a 'cajas' and a bank and the cultural expectations for both. (I would have been surprised if that happened to a US credit union.)

Ask HN: How to Do Email Transparency?
In 2013, Stripe posted a few articles regarding [Scaling Email Transparency](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8718414). It seems like a good approach to sharing information among a team of less than 100 people.

Specifically, it seemed to be:

- Less of a hassle and more easily searchable than Slack.

- More user-friendly than a Discourse instance.

However, the tool Stripe used for managing Email Transparency with Google Groups, is [no longer being updated](https://github.com/stripe/gaps). What tools are currently used, in Stripe or smaller orgs, to achieve Email Transparency?
And yet you can hire a lawyer who can show you similar looking loopholes that are completely legal. Structuring to avoid taxes is illegal but the double Irish method isn't? There are many other such loopholes and telling the legal from the illegal appears mostly arbitrary.

Parsing expression grammar;

It is a recursive decent parser with the tiny tweak that productions are ordered (not a set) and short circuit.

A 90's language you did not have to imagine that saved you from regex in this way was[is] REBOL with it built in `parse` dsl.

They have gotten terrible at Google because the results are all ads. Any technical article explaining what an expert may want to know is not part of a corporate product page and therefore has no monetary value for anyone (Google included) to push it up in the results. Ask how to implement something and you'll get a bunch of results for products that implement that thing already.

Agree in general. Only exception I'd make to this is when you're selecting a range of columns, as someone else mentioned elsewhere in the thread. I typically find (for example) `| sed -e 's/ \+/\t/g' | cut -f 1,3-10,14-17` to be both easier to type and easier to debug than typing out all the columns explicitly in an awk statement.
Right? I'm so confused now. That link appears to be opposite of the article.

> I believe even encrypted backups can be cracked.

If anything, they're more prone to being cracked, since an attacker can load the backup onto a very fast system and run custom software which can run many permutations of keys against the backup to try to unlock it. With actual hardware, they're limited by having to manually enter the key in most cases plus any hardware or OS features which would notice that the user has entered too many incorrect passwords and lock down the device further.

On the other hand, if the computer that your backup has been backed up to is itself reasonably locked down, that might be an acceptable trade-off; they can't try to crack a backup they can't access in the first place.
A completely e2e encrypted backup system would have to include photos (current iPhone backups do not). But true encryption means that when customers forget their passwords, they lose their data.

Already, people who don't use iCloud Photo Library and lose their phones, or forget their passwords, lose the photos that were on the phones.

Anyway, I think the customer experience issues weigh pretty heavily here.

> I don't know of any easier equivalent of "awk '{ print $2 }'" for what it does.

I'm not sure if you refer spefically to cut, but Perl has something similar and approximaly terse:

Also, Perl can slice arrays, which is something that I really miss in Awk.

Isn’t that “hacking” in the cyber crime sense?

I know Bloomberg et al don’t appreciate my attempting to bypass their technical controls and cause undesired effects on their systems, and would likely file a criminal complaint.

Why is it legal for advertisers to write code which is meant to bypass a system control and exceed their authorization?

I think we need a browser that automates CFAA complaints to the FBI when a company engages in behavior that would be illegal for an individual — such as hacking your audio.

I believe at the point where a company writes code with the explicit purpose of bypassing your control of the computer, eg autoplaying a video despite technical measures being taken to prohibit that behavior, it constitutes a breach of the CFAA.
The four groups are the payors, the health systems/providers, the employers and the patients(employees). It is almost impossible to balance four competing goals.

The solution is to make it fewer competing concerns. We need to make employer provided healthcare illegal (go back to pre WWII) and force competition on the open market. We can still have you buy your own with HSA pre-tax dollars. We need to move to reference based pricing. Payors can't charge more than 1.3 * Medicare. This also solves the "out of network" bullshit, it is all the same so just pay. We also need to separate wellness/preventative from "health insurance". The one you know you will and should perform annually and the other is against catastrophe. Unfortunately, today we treat them as the same thing. I don't think a Medicare for all works but I do think it might work if it was for primary care only. Specialty care and Urgent/Emergency care could be handle by private payors.
Because syntatically as a language/tool it is super easy to remember. Writing one liners with awk feels more intuitive to me.

Awk example:

ls -l | awk '{print $9, $5}' or
ls -lh | awk '{print $9, $5}'

Seems a whole lot simpler. To me. I find if you have to write exhaustive shell scripts then maybe you can look for something more verbose like Perl, I guess.
I hate changes like this in general but this one is really bad. Just switch back

Productivity per hour measures capital investment and labor skill within the same quantity.
I don't mean the bank accounts on either end of the EFT; I mean the actual EFT itself. My thinking is that an end-to-end transfer of asset value via bitcoin is essentially the same thing as doing it via EFT; while the sum to be transferred is not in the source or destination accounts; it's just bits on a wire.
Let's divide that space in two: objects in A are objectively good or bad, and objects in B are subjectively good or bad. Can these category exist? Is one of them the empty space?

I agree with you that good/evil feels like an objective dichotomy (A), especially in binary matters: e.g. alive or dead, working or not, arrived or not.

I agree with parent that evil is subjective (B) for other objects: e.g. capitalism, masturbation, violence, assistance, immigration.

I also move that good/evil is but one spectrum of evaluation, of assessing the world; there are many (hundreds, thousands) of such dimensions in our inner world.

Finally, I submit that good/evil is but the "feeling" of old/deep brain structures wherein emotions are generated and maybe felt too (nucleus acumbens, amygdala...), and that the dichotomy we feel and then think, theorize is but an interpretation of the manifestation of these primary emotions (they likely date back before we were apes, even before we were mammals; this is like the earliest system that lets a shrimp or fish move "towards" the cold and "away from" the light; there may not even be the "feeling" of it yet at that evolutionary stage).

Now is it all meaningful or pointless?... You tell me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: bonus question: is there a reunion space AB? (!) bonus 2: are some objects neither in A nor B?
Here's a strategy that might help. I mostly read HN logged-out on my lunch break. If I see something I want to comment on, I email it to myself for when I get home. Usually, by then, the urge has passed or I've realised that whatever comment I was going to make was actually dumb.

If that won't help because you can't resist the temptation to log in, I guess you could try "banning" yourself using the noprocrast setting in the HN profile?

You can shift-click them to open them in sidebar (where you can edit them the same way as in main view). You can open unlimited number of pages/blocks in the sidebar. And if you find that they're not useful for you anymore then you can simply remove or unlink them. Without ever leaving Red Wine page.

It's funny how almost everybody here tries to compare it to other things. Yes, you can do everything even on paper! Zettelkasten was done first on paper, GTD was done first on paper. But this is new kind of software, which promotes new workflows and ideas about using your thoughts and data, and if you want to compare it to existing solutions then you should compare it to TheBrain or ConnectedText. It's not your typical markdown editor / outliner with some new features - you can start using it like that, but you will change your workflow after few hours or days in ways that you can't simply imagine right now :)

I hope we will have more software with such flexibility in the future, competition is always good, I might even reimplement this myself as my private hobby project, because it's so useful and I can't imagine going back to normal note editors if something happens to Roam dev.
I think it's much worse as a user (ads everywhere disguised as informative articles, bloated websites, constant tracking, consolidation of websites into a few corporate silos)

and also much worse as a developer (wow wtf javascript frameworks)

It'd be hard because manual labor isn't that profitable, farms are so mechanized for a reason and that's because machines are better and more consistent than migrant workers who get paid very little and work way more than half a day. Manual labor on farms mostly exists in a few areas where mechanization hasn't happened yet like berry picking, etc.

The only way to know if you'd be crap is to try writing. Short stories are a fun place to start, just pick a genre you like and give it a shot.

It's enough to simply read the right authors, or at least it was for me. You can tell if you belong in their company or not. If you can't, well... that's a strong hint in itself.
I'm confused. I noticed this aesthetic change a couple of weeks ago and I wondered what was causing it. So now when I saw this post, I turned off adblock on the search results page to see where the ads are, and I still can't seem to see any ads.

The sidebar is blank. The main page has results from "Places", "People also ask" and "images", interspersed with the normal results (which now look more like the old ads), but I don't see any actual ads, even with adblock off. For those of you that have the new look and see ads, where are they?
This is not MAME, it emulates API of an OS that has very large amount of software it runs. I think the titles listed are ones that developers concentrated specifically on (also another person below mentioned that it was only relevant to this RC) to make them work, it's very likely that much more software was fixed.
Yes, `std::string` owns its own copy of the string in typical implementations (as does Rust's `String` type).

`std::string_view` references that copy. `std::string::clear` destroys it, leaving the `std::string_view` dangling.
God, I hate when OS companies do this stuff. I remember back when Ubuntu had Unity as its default, it would send any app-search you had to Amazon to recommend stuff to you. Granted, it was trivial to disable it, but I really don't want to have my OS send a request to Amazon whenever I hit the Super key and search for Tor or something.
