> Although, universal health plans also mean employees, unionized or not, win the freedom to change jobs because they’re no longer tied to jobs they hate just to remain insured. I don’t think many people are considering or discussing this at large in the conversation about MfA.

Really? From where I sit it's been a central point in discussions about universal coverage as a goal, regardless of mechanism being debated, at least since it was an issue in the Clinton campaign in 1992.
Wow! I shouldn't be surprised, yet I am, that three felonies a day was right.
John Maynard Keynes made his case at the heart of the Great Depression. At that time it was true -- it was a period of deflation and high unemployment, so what money people had they were hoarding because they expected its value to increase. People were willing to work but no one would pay to hire them.

Having the government hire people to dig holes and fill them back in, in that specific context, was better than them being unemployed. Doing useless work wasn't productive, but neither was being unemployed, so that's a wash. Meanwhile having money in their pockets meant they had money to spend, and then they paid other people to do things that actually were useful. A net gain against the status quo.

But even then it was a false dichotomy, and now it's even worse. The false dichotomy is that the options are to do nothing or to pay people to do something useless. There is a third option -- pay them to something useful. That's better than either of the other two.

Today it's even worse, because unemployment is very low. People already have jobs. They're already getting paid, and most of the work they're doing is already productive. In that context make-work jobs don't just not help, they actively reduce productivity, because people get paid either way and you're just changing what kind of work they do. If they would have been doing productive work and you convert them to digging holes and filling them back in, you're making things worse, not better.

> the number of recoveries exceeded the number of deaths.

China has said the fatality rate is about 2%, and most experts are agreeing it's probably roughly 2% - with all your points factored in. In Wuhan, for example, it's over 4% due to hospital overload.

> All deaths are counted... many coronavirus deaths were likely misclassified.

That's really the same as being not counted in the tally of Coronavirus deaths.

> in countries like Thailand and Mexico...

The common theme here is tropical climate that makes most Coronaviruses less virulent.

This obviously cannot happen in countries like North Korea, which is likely silently enduring a pandemic that they just won't talk about.
I truly wish that the corporate tax rate was 0. Not 25, not 15, but 0%. Then all of this ridiculous nonsense around crony capitalists lobbying for special tax breaks, “double Dutch Irish sandwiches”, and the insane discrepancies between big business and small business in regards to tax games would all go away. Just increase capital gains to match income tax and be done with all of this bullshit. Amazon pays an effective rate of 0% anyways.
Thanks for the suggestions. We’ll check them out and see if we can get them added.
This data directly led to the discovery of a large scale, secret aerial surveillance program by the FBI, which led to Congress demanding information about the legal and privacy issues: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/06/congres...
Not a different frequency, just a different protocol. Mode-S doesn't transmit position information so location can't be easily determined unless several receivers collaborate.
Comes down to what was the value of Facebook’s intellectual property when it was sold to its Irish affiliate. The IRS is saying they valued it much too low to their benefit.
Google / Cloudflare's centralized DNS offerings have definite privacy tradeoffs to be considered. And those tradeoffs need to be compared to the alternatives such as ISP hosted DNS or hosting one's own recursive server. This author failed to do any of that.

Should be marked 2019 - its not a retrospective of 2019, it was published in 2019.

> DNS is one of four ways in which such meta-data gets transmitted in plaintext

The author makes the argument that because DoH doesn't plug every metadata leak, we shouldn't plug any of them. This is a ridiculous argument - by this logic, we should never fix any metadata leak because it would still leave 3 unfixed. So, I guess we'll just be stuck at 4 forever.

> Using DoH to move DNS to the cloud is a specific way of using DoH that is damaging to privacy in 2019.

Why is a Google or Cloudflare server in "the cloud" while some ISP hosted server isn't in "the cloud"?

> One significant change with DoH is that the choice what to censor (or block) moves from the network operator to the browser vendor (who picks the DoH provider). If you are a privacy activist this is great, as long as you trust your browser vendor (and its government) more than your own country.

If you assume that your browser vendor is out to get you, its not clear to me how any DNS solution is going to protect your privacy.

> Crucially, this auto-configuration (be it DHCP or PPP) is not itself super-encrypted

I have no idea what "super-encrypted" means. But it sounds nice.

> I mention these two stories to show that our assumptions on oppressive regimes may be wildly off, and not represent the reality on the ground in China, Russia, Iran, Indonesia and Turkey. It is a lot of fun being an armchair imaginary political activist, but things are remarkably different if you actually live there.

The point that DoH may not solve the privacy problems of political activists in oppressive regimes may very well be true. But, in addition to being presented as just two anecdotes, the argument again boils down to: DoH doesn't solve every imaginable problem, so, we shouldn't use it to solve any problem.

> Additionally, that third party then gets a complete log per device of all DNS queries, in a way that can even be tracked across IP addresses

What alternative is being proposed here? Using an ISP's server - the ISP is also a 3rd party. Running your own recursive resolver - in that case, you leak all of the plaintext DNS requests.

> And for actual privacy on untrusted networks, nothing beats a VPN, except possibly not using hostile networks.

Except that a VPN provider is _even better_ positioned to spy on you than Google's or Cloudflare's DNS servers. And while Google and Cloudflare's DNS offerings have significant privacy considerations, a good chunk of VPN providers have unclear ownership structures often times in unclear locations and with unclear profit motivations.
It sounds like a standard “double Irish” tax scheme. It’s possible FB did the same thing as everyone else and the IRS is just going after one of the big fish to get case law in their favor. If that were to happen, they’d potentially get to go after everyone else who has done it, like Microsoft, Apple, etc.
I agree especially with the proposition that we should exchange structured data (via files, network connections, ...).

I started this project several years ago to support live code updates in production systems without sacrificing performance, but I eventually hit the same issues with exchanging structured data:
https://github.com/Morgan-Stanley/hobbes

I split out structured logging into a single header-only lib, structured RPC into a single header-only lib, etc. It's not quite the same as having native support in the OS, but because the mechanism is so lightweight (don't even need to link anything special), it's a pretty good substitute.
If you use your povider's resolver you're right. In my case, I prefer to use clodflare's resolver because that reduces the risk surrounding my VPN provider logging my DNS requests and being able to manipulate them (there were a few times when switching to an open resolver actually made a site accessible). You can say they still log IP and SNI,but shared hosting,eSNI help.
Well, I guess it depends on the interpretation of the rules. The point of contention seems to be the valuing of assets, which of course FB has incentive to not value highly:

> The IRS argues that Facebook understated the value of the intellectual property it sold to an Irish subsidiary in 2010 while building out global operations, a move common among U.S. multinationals. Ireland has lower corporate tax rates than the United States, so the move reduced the company’s tax bill.

The value of intellectual property is kind of a murky thing, especially before it is fully monetized. So I guess the question comes down to: Did FB executives knowingly undervalue the assets to save money on taxes? Is there a paper trail to that effect?
Technological solutions only lead to centralisation of snooping. Whereas before it was possible for many players to snoop on your traffic, now a few big ones do the same and it has become even harder to prevent their snooping because everything depends on them.

One wonders if the decentralised model wasn't better after all for the majority of us who aren't concerned about state level snooping since the state usually can control us in so many ways that online privacy alone isn't enough and besides implementing checks and balances upon the state can and should be done politically, since whatever individuals do technologically the state can also do, or do better, or in the worst case, ban it.
Are you looking at how you preserve the preferences too? I neither love nor hate the UI, which probably means it does a good job of getting out the way, but my one bug bear is things like when I turn off sub-titles they get re-added on the next video.

I think you're missing the OP's point: the point is that the sentence should read:

"How can we cure blindness?"

If it happens to be via monkey viruses, so be it. But you shouldn't start from "How can monkey viruses cure blindness" — it's not monkey viruses that are the reason to do research, it's blindness that's the reason.

> I always have found it strange that communities of folks who very much don’t want to be tracked themselves are also very interested in aggressively tracking others.

I totally get this, but don’t think in terms of good and bad. Think in terms of power (empowerment and disempowerment).

I know how powerful mass surveillance is. I know how powerful knowledge is.

Therefore it isn’t surprising in the slightest that I should want to tear down every last shred of privacy in service of my own intelligence (empower my future self). Simultaneously I advocate to protect my own privacy (disempower future enemies).

It’s totally reasonable for anyone to want privacy. It’s also totally reasonable for me (or the Kremlin, or NSA) to want to thoroughly dismantle yours.
Firefox.

Because Mozilla is actively (and publicly) committed to privacy, which is the opposite intention of Google (Chrome) and Microsoft (IE/Edge/Whatever).
There will always be loopholes. Any corporate tax rate above 0% will have carve outs for any number of industries that are favored for any number of reasons. If it was 0, huge swaths of busy-work jobs in law and tax industries would go away. They provide no value to society.
This is a 100% reasonable policy, but it's a really hard sell for people who don't understand how business income actually works, and how the money would be captured by far more functional taxes as dividend income or cap gains. I don't think your comment is going to do well on HN.

Maybe leave INCREASE CAPITAL GAINS in all caps. Or, CAPTURE THE SAME MONEY AS DIVIDEND INCOME OR CAPITAL GAINS.

Perhaps: IT IS THE SAME MONEY CAPTURED LESS CONFUSINGLY AND LESS PRONE TO CHEATING
> But if you're not finding developers, then its higher than whatever you're offering. And if it's in major tech metros (SV, Seattle + Eastside) it's close to FAANG levels.

This is not entirely true. People aren't finding developers because most of them failed the interview (unless you are digital agencies).

In major tech metros, nobody pay close to FAANG levels. Either you pay at FAANG levels (and they compete at that level) or you go down one-tier (Pinterest, Airbnb, etc) or you're the rest.
I use https://github.com/robotastic/trunk-recorder

You'll use https://www.radioreference.com and get the appropriate control and voice channels for your area. You'll also get the talkgroups and put them in a CSV.

From there, you'll use http://garvas.org/trunk-recorder/ to determine how many RTL-SDR dongles (or others) you'll need, along with their respective center frequencies. Note that you'll copy/paste the relevant control/voice line for your p25 from radioreferece.com

From there, just define where to store the files on the drive, and off it goes. There's a python webserver ( https://github.com/ScanOC/trunk-player ) you can install for on-prem, and/or you can also upload it to openmhz website ( https://github.com/robotastic/trunk-recorder/wiki/Uploading-... ).

Astro Teller is quoted in the FT article as saying: “Our estimate of the rewards for the world, the reward to Alphabet, and the risks and costs to get there . . . they change over time. It’s part of my job to assess that and make sure that we’re picking the best ones we can for Alphabet to spend its money on.”
The difference is that, if you have a union, you get to vote on whether you want an open office or not. Without one, you have to do whatever the boss says.
Looking back at the project, knowing what you know now, if you were to start again (but without obtained rust skills), would you go with rust again or pick another toolbox?
I think that if there’s no legitimate business purpose to a particular business activity other than avoiding taxes, it qualifies as tax evasion. If that’s not illegal in your particular jurisdiction, that just means you have legalized tax evasion.
>the real root causes of our growing mental illness epidemic are too difficult to face

When this form of issue arises, it seems to be a recurring human pattern to attempt all of the possible alternatives before facing the root causes directly.

It sounds like you're proposing that the actual root causes include a move away from families and geographically proximate friends. I'm curious to hear more -- if you have a deeper sense of other root causes, possible solutions, or how we might implement more family and geographically proximate connections, given technology's increasing power to increase geographic, emotional, and economic mobility.
Many of my comments do poorly on HN, but I’ll keep writing them because alternative opinions to the hive mind are valuable. I may even convince a few people!
Weak? That's a bit harsh...
Can confirm. I kept getting permission errors on something I was testing, and in desperation ran `chmod -R 777` thinking I was in my project dir. I was actually at root. After a bunch attempts to recover, I ended up saving the data I cared about and doing a fresh install. 0/10 would not recommend.
How would you avoid companies-as-expense accounts? If I form "Coral-Snake & Co.", wouldn't I be able to pay 0% taxes by just directing all income/expenses into that shell?

(Granted, I don't understand basically anything about tax law, so maybe this is already a well-defined problem with a well-defined solution.)
>Is the population of natives (perhaps citizens/residents would have fewer negative connotations?) really willing to bear costs and risks?

86% of the current population of the UK was born there. The overwhelming majority voted for the current Tory government and as such, for Brexit.

So therefore yes, I believe the natives are likely to bear the costs and risks.

An elegant solution to a common problem, in my opinion.
Ya, concrete details were conspicuously missing. Like petabytes? Exabytes? I suspect that the "largest dataflow job ever" is significantly smaller than the kind of crap Google regularly throws at the backend that dataflow runs on. With that infrastructure at their fingers, I suspect engineers regularly fire off jobs orders of magnitude larger than necessary simply because it's not worth the 3 hours of human effort it'd take to narrow down the input set.
Preach! I've felt this way too, that adding structured data as a universal feature to operating systems would be a pretty agreeable next step.

I wonder if we're past the point of return, though, in terms of technical divergence. It sounds like, in the Ancient Times, there was a handful of great programmers whose work created the world we program in now. But now, there's way more programmers being paid to make slightly different versions of this "next step", and it would require widespread agreement/coordination to implement it on a scale where it's a seamless feature that's taken for granted the way the shell/network/fs are.
What’s Driving Iran to Build a Better Missile
You can make a good argument* that taxing corporations is weird anyway, since they're abstract legal concepts.

Taxing the income real people get paid from the corporation would be the logical, and much simpler system.

* You can of course also make a decent argument against this :)
It would take you five seconds to google "low yield nuclear weapon US". Or, you know, read the fucking article, which contains this gem:

Just capture it all as sales tax when the money is coming and and income tax when it being distributed to employees. get rid of corporate tax for ANY business, small or large.
In a union shop, you can vote on how payscales will vote and campaign for a system that you believe is fair. Without a union, you have to take whatever the bosses offer.
FWIW, I’m a happy Go user who agrees with the direction of your misgivings, if not completely the magnitude.

There is a lot of hacky code in the code generation space, which is why I think the Go team continues to chase generics rather than give it up completely.

A lack of optional types is IMO a wart, that’s tapered over with nil and reflection, but would have benefitted from being a first class piece of the language. I like to imagine this finds its way into Go 2, but I’m not very hopeful.

The rest of your items I view as very nice things that I don’t particularly miss. They’re quirks that are reflective of a minimalist design. At least, that’s the excuse I make.

Result types are interesting and valuable, but add a layer of complexity to a program’s legibility that is understandably desirable to omit, especially when the idiom of returning an error type is so culturally ingrained.

I miss immutables and “modern” iterators, but I can personally live without them. Conditional compilation is kind of antithetical to Go’s design and I don’t miss it too much.

I think most Gophers who have been around the language a while would agree with most of what we’ve said, at least the ones I know.
After trying just about everything, I've come full circle to...text files. Specifically, I use Emacs, with a mix of markdown and org-mode. I use a few techniques (Eisenhower matrix, GTD, etc.) to organize things.

Wouldn’t business still lobby for tax reductions in other areas? I feel like your argument that setting the corporate tax rate to zero would eliminate the incentive to influence the government ignores the many other reasons to do so.
This is already doable with a multitude of ways. If I have profits, and I direct them to a business, then argue plausibly that my life expenses (lunches, travel, cars, computers) are for my business, I can write off all those expenses against my profits. Business owners do this all the time.
> All in all, I hope you're right. As far as I can tell the evidence is against you, but people survive falls from aeroplanes so stranger things have happened.

How in earth can you say the evidence is against that view? The U.K. is the most successful country in the history of the world, and it achieved all of it without the EU. The U.K. has an established track record of success without the EU. It’s the EU that lacks any antecedent historical evidence of long term viability.

Maybe your point is that, in modern times, you need to be part of an “international order” to be prosperous. Australia, Canada, and Japan are stark counter examples—they’re richer than nearly every EU country and have achieved that without ceding sovereignty to an international body.
It's very kind of you to describe the chemical process, though I think the text description and image in the problem were enough for me.

Let's suppose the amino acids HO-A-H, HO-B-H and HO-C-H came together (I hope I got the sides correct!) to form HO-A-B-C-H.

Are HO-A- and -C-H "residues"? One of them lost an -H and the other an HO-, so they are "what's left over after whatever was going to happen has finished happening."

The text says as "every amino acid in a protein are residues except the leftmost and the rightmost ones", so those end ones are not residues.

But the IUPAC definition says it can lose one, or the other, or both, which would include the end ones as part of the definition.
