I am sorry to say this but if you want to tax the rich, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Look at the German taxation system and learn from it.
Some hyphy SBC that's all flash and style. It's got a basic SDR and a few common SPI/i²c devices. It's 99% a marketing play.

All off the shelf and any engineering team could clone it in a few days while substantially undercutting their price. I'd place bets someone already has. The cheaper clones will probably beat their flashy device to market and work better.

But they'll do fine regardless because branding matters way more than it should.

They're selling a fashion accessory targeting the fanboy tech crowd. They haven't thought of putting a clip on the bottom so you could wear it in public yet, but it's probably coming soon. They're running a bunch of ads for it on social media.

It's really irritating how transparent and obvious of a smoke and mirrors act it is AND how successful that strategy is.

Good on them for making the play but bad on us for hitching on to any caravan that sells silicon like it's the National Enquirer.

Don't punish people like billionaires. Instead institute policies that are pro worker and pro society. Like no more stock buy backs. Or tax incentives for large cap r&d investment. Or corporate tax incentives for generous pension plans. Basically instead of letting them pay no taxes for dumb reasons let corporations pay no taxes for proworker and pro society reasons.
Define "startup".

There's the startup that's 50-100 people or smaller. In that case, you're completely right.

Then there's the "startup" that employs thousands of people and just closed a Series D in anticipation of hiring more.

The second is still a completely different beast from old stalwarts of industry like IBM, GM, big Wall Street banks, etc.
But what the news has everyone scared of is fission power plants rather than the dirty ones burning stuff... I had a hard time believing this stat when I first read it.
I like this article. I like Apple’s approach to ML because it blends in. When applied, the feature should not expose that it’s based on ML — that’s a failure. And so Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant are failures. But Face ID, plam rejection are successes.

If you have to explain the customers that it’s ML based, that’s the same as asking for the customers to understand it’s unreliability. And unreliable features are worse than no features, and that’s why nobody uses Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant except for a few reliably-working requests.
Also it might help reading in places with limited network (bandwidth or blocks)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coercion

Coercion directly suggests threats and force, which is suggestive of toxic retribution. That is completely different than an ethical order from a supervisor to a subordinate to perform a job task directly related to their job or area of responsibility.

In my current job I am a manage of managers owning a small helpdesk department. When I need something done I tell my junior managers the task to accomplish and expect the results in a given time frame. I don't have to threaten harm or use fear as a tool, because that's hostile and toxic.

Perhaps instead you mean influence. Good leaders will attempt to realign the goals and thoughts of their staff to the goals of the work using rewards and positive reinforcement.
tl;dr: My impression is that if we checked the narrative of the left with the same rigor we use for that of the right, a lot of news would disappear from social media.

This WP title and article:

http://archive.is/GvfHd

It proclaims, without a hint of a doubt: "A ‘mass invasion’ of polar bears is terrorizing an island town. Climate change is to blame."

The article is about a single episode of a population of polar bears feeding off a garbage dump in a remote Russian village. It's hard (or just simply wrong) to attribute a single episode to a global climate shift. And experts have pointed out that the bears appear well fed and that garbage can be attractive to them [1].

The article ends by linking the "heartbreaking video" of a sick, emaciated polar bear wandering somewhere in Canada. The video was widely spread as a proof of climate change harm to polar bears, but experts said it was probably just a sick individual. National Geographic itself had to publish a correction a year later [2].

Now imagine a conservative media making such quick connections between, say, a bump in immigration rates and a crime. Or even saying: "that crime spree? Immigration is to blame". That's obvious fake news, right?

Hello to you too, fellow Cloud Foundations team member
I would be in the same boat as you a year ago. But I since found myself in a job I was definitely not good at. It sucked very badly. Amusingly enough, most of the reason it sucked was because it was completely dominated by bad faith actors busy keeping their jobs at any cost. Fortunately, I was let go from that job before my probation period ended. Having been in a bad job, it truly feels terrible. It causes stress and you feel like you are always running to catch up but you will never actually make it. It is not difficult to see how this could lead to very negative feelings about the politics of one's workplace as well.

The first example makes me question the rest of their examples. I find it noticeable that they are reluctant to link to the fact checking they are referencing.

The first mentions Politico contending that "one in third" is only 'partly true'. Yet the closest I can find to Politico fact checking that line,[0] is merely a reference to the Doctors Without Borders report, without any mention of how true it is (besides, Politico doesn't really do fact checking either, nor claim to be impartial).

Edit: Looks like it happened on Twitter (see reply), so I stand corrected.

That being said, I am confident there are biases in fact checking, all humans are subjective. And even if every fact check a site did was impartial, their choice in which things they choose to fact check would surely be not, or at least be open for questioning. What makes one statement more worthy of a fact check than another?

It's not a very well-designed bill. A big one-off tax is always just a political stunt.

But "stock isn't liquid money!" comes up every time anyone mentions wealth taxes, and I think it's worth digging into this a bit. Stock ultimately derives its value from the attached ability to vote on what the company does (a policy of "maximize profits, buybacks+dividends" is so popular that it's usually implied). So when socialists go around talking about spreading control of the means of production around, stock is what that control looks like in our society.

So if we're talking about a mass sale of stock reducing the price, that implies somebody is buying the stock at that new lower price. It's not the billionaires, since they're in the middle of trying to sell all their stock. But no stock is being destroyed either; it has to be going to someone with less net worth, and thus less concentrated ownership of stock. Which is, again, the thing that socialists are trying to do.

(Now, as a market socialist, I can think of better ways to do this than forcing the sale of a bunch of stock and hoping it gets spread around more equitably. I did say start with "It's not a very well designed bill.")
I only skimmed the article but the paranoid tone reminded me of some idea I had regarding alcohol:

As an adult the constraints of social life are really heavy and indeed we have to fake / lie / hide constantly. drinking alcohol is not spying technique, it's a lubricant to restore your intuition and natural self without care

Also, even without the social burden, existential crisis lead to paralysis often, alcohol or other drug can make you feel creative and random again, a bit like a child.
The wordpress ecosystem is a mess. Every useful plugin has 10's of variations all selling premium version. Nowadays you would be ucky to find a well coded plugin that doesn't take over your admin screen an does the thing you want.

YOASTseo is the biggest culprit with a terrible codebase and countless notifications to take over screens. God forbid you delete something in bulk and your page will be taken over with countless notifications.

This is not an attempt. This is something that wouldn't work. All the big companies would probably die.

Imagine all the NASDAQ founders selling 50% of their shares. Who would buy them? The price would sink and they wouldn't be that wealthy any more and the government wouldn't get any money.

It was good early on. So was Instagram. I think the beginning of the downfall was the like button for Facebook and the heart for Instagram. Once you introduce a voting system that determines what gets exposure and what gets buried, it seems like the inevitable outcome is that the garbage floats to the top. Especially as things scale to include huge groups of people.

Microsoft fires back at Apple, accusing it of treating gaming apps differently
That's not true at all. AI is everywhere. When Gmail completes your sentence, auto-playlist gets created, camera detects a pet, you take night shot of a city, grammar suggestions are shown, wrong keystrokes auto-corrects, voice mail is transcribed, phone call is responded by quick text, your sleep is analysed, heart rate is monitored on runs, news articles gets recommended, spam email gets filtered, device idle detected... I can go on.

Most of these problems cannot be simply solved by just throwing in best engineers. No amount of classical algorithms you learned as CS major is going to help you implement the best solutions for these problems. The state of art solutions to these problems requires intense narrowly focused researchers who have studied these problems for many years, knows which 10% of the papers even worth looking at and pro/cons of different techniques. Something as benign as running neural net on phone hardware is intensely researched subject and your implementation can be literally 10X to 100X better at speed and power consumption if you have kept up with the field.
Thank you, I had no clue what to get out of the story.

I thought the trope 'history is written by winners' is not just that the winners of the time when it happened, but more importantly the 'winners' (i.e. rulers) of the time when the story is being told. Our perception of history change, because the powers that be (i.e. the winners) change.

Ask HN: How to know which TLDs are “safe”?
I've been looking to register a new domain and while all the good stuff is taken on the popular TLDs like .com and many others, there are a lot of great lesser-used TLDs that seem attractive, but I don't know how to gauge the safety/security/durability of these as I think I've read that there are different owners/systems for different TLDs (Google is often mentioned here as an "owner" of some that it uses for questionable purposes). Is there a way to get some accurate and easy-to-interpret info on if a TLD is "ok" (for lack of a better word) ?

I was burned years ago by an attractive TLD where its owners raised the yearly renewals to like $150 from the original $30 without anything I could do about it, so I had to either give it up (which I did) or just eat the fees. So I'd like to know which TLDs are also immune to that sort of thing.

Yes and no. Riding a bike at your best speed isn’t going to happen with a mask, but I prefer not to work up a sweat while commuting, so I’m not using enough oxygen for the mask to make a difference. That said I might feel differently in a hotter climate.
Facebook at its core is a green list of people or voices you approve of. Any misinformation, hatred, or groupthink... is coming from the world you approve.

And with regards to groupthink, there is surely some basic level of personal burden arising from the freedom of association.
I wouldn't equate Trump-Russia collusion with birtherism and other anti-Obama smears, for many reasons. Here are five.

* Russia systematically influenced internet forums, Twitter, etc, to help Trump in the 2016 election. This influence campaign is documented in the Mueller report, and several individuals and companies have been indicted. American intelligence says that Russia currently continues this activity.

* Mueller stated in his report that a lack of candor from several people interviewed as part of his investigation impeded the collection of evidence about coordination between Trump and Russia. Failure to bring charges against a person does not exonerate that person.

* Mueller did not set out to address the question of whether Trump "colluded" with Russia, and even if he addressed that topic in his report, there's no way for the public to know that, because the report is still heavily redacted.

* Manafort, Donald Jr., and Kushner met with representatives of the Russian government in Trump Tower. They did not disclose this to officials until Kushner was forced to revise his SF-86 because he failed to include information about his relationships with several key foreigners.

* Trump has sought election assistance from other foreign governments, including using missile defense as leverage over the Ukrainian president, as well as (according to Bolton) using a meeting with Xi Jinpeng to ask repeatedly for help with his re-election campaign.

Yes. The nature of a filtering mask will mean that you will need to exert more energy to breathe through it.

I would say that initially I felt that I couldn't cycle as far with a mask.
But as I did it more it became easier, effectively like exercise for your lungs.

And would say that if you have trouble with a mask walking then strenuous activity with one is probably not a good idea unless you work up to it.

In terms of the effect, I live in London which is so-so when it comes to pollution.

What is the "backend'for this? I mean do they use something like twilio or something else? I am asking cause I think most such services use SIP instead of xmpp, although for messages xmpp might fit better.
Django does some of these things (most migration tools do), but my understanding is it guides you in other directions (automated code-based migrations based on models as a source of truth), so if you want simple sql migrations you don't need (or even perhaps want) this part of django.

That's what the article explores.
Printing money is very risky. The US has the stability to print a lot of money but I'm afraid printing money forever would end up with a huge inflation.

> I honestly never heard of anyone using Clojure as data tools.

Clojure is one of the most actively-used data analysis languages actually. It is used by many industry for that purpose. Heck even the widely-used Metabase is written in Clojure.
It is a very difficult question.

It is money vs. society. If you can earn more money for yourself by impoverishing others, but the total wealth and stability of society goes down, is that a good thing? No I think it is not. There's a conflict here. Society vs. money.

This is a transitional phase and I believe money will be gone in 20 years, replaced by some kind of "shares in society" or something. I have ideas about how that works but there's no doing nothing. You can't have billionaires living in castles surrounded by millions of starving poor. It's not about "merit" it is about human life. Life will win every time.
Ask HN: What is the best goal tracker app?
I am trying to find a goal tracker app which is as simple as it gets. I just need the capability of creating a progress bar with an end goal and being able to update it, but it seems like all the apps out there have a lot of extra stuff and not the simple progress bar. Do you know of anyone which is simple?
Wow, and the comments on that site are so good

I also liked how the article compared made it clear humans and psychopaths have co-evolved like parasites and hosts.
I suppose I could just buy a TLD and register it for like a decade to avoid price hikes in the short term.
Everything is a spectrum. The USA is by no means perfect nor exempt from many criticisms. But if you are truly unwilling to acknowledge the differences along that spectrum then any discussion between us is pointless. I hope both the USA and China find ways to lessen the ceaseless suffering in the world. I have some hope for the US. I have little hope for any autocracy.

No OP but one of my first questions about any layer is “how transparent is it”. If it can’t host itself, it’s clearly not 100% transparent.

This matters because it adds cognitive overhead - I have to keep track of which features are available at which layer.

> Adjusting for inflation in either the US or UK we see that whilst house prices do of course go up and down, like any asset, the trend is upwards.

Obviously, at some point houses will stop rising in price in real terms. Because if they don't, then eventually no-one will be able to buy a house. There are signs we're reaching this point with the inability of Millenials to get into the housing market.

If you held that gun to my head I would definitely say "decrease".

I think the rising trend over the last ~50 years is because of women entering the workforce, but that's a whole 'nother subject.

> Is the logic that because people have been "lulled into believing" that property is "safe", there's an obligation to rescue them because of their inexpertness?

That'll be their reason, yes. But the realpolitik of the situation is that any party who promises to help the housing market is going to be popular. Australia, especially, is vulnerable to this.

> From the position you've outlined above I think it's more likely that some form of fiscal illiteracy is the real issue, not the democratising of financial markets so that consumers can participate in them.

It's interesting that you jump so readily to the conclusion that I'm an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about, rather than that you haven't understood what I'm saying. This also happened a few posts ago, until I explained myself in greater detail and you were able to see that I wasn't an idiot. Can we just skip the bit where I'm an idiot this time, assume that I'm not, and work out where your confusion is?
