No, not even close: most expats do not pay social security taxes abroad. If you work for the USA embassy, you pay SS tax, but if you work for Microsoft China, you do not (you do, however, pay Chinese SS of course). In particular, see https://www.hrblock.com/expat-tax-preparation/resource-cente...

Almost every US company has it setup that you are going to be working for a foreign employer, not a US one.
The posted article is a fun and interesting read about the author's relationship to themself and their family as impacted by their viewing of various classes.

If it's not asking too much, would you please share an overview of the hardware you picked out and a ballpark figure of the final price?

A simple and perhaps intellectually disappointing explanation is rarity: plenty of CGI with unnatural lighting, we value CGI that gets it right. Plenty of photographs with natural lighting, we value the photograph with an artificial tweak.
Not only that, but those types of organizations are also the ones that are likely to tell experienced engineers that they are "overqualified" for the job because they want more juniors that won't push back against harmful practices.

Absolutely agree. The frustration with how much time is wasted is certainly universal.

Having worked for a company producing software like this, the EHR and Practice Management/Billing components were essentially separate products. Analytics was separate as well. Those were the three big tentpoles, and they would all talk to or depend on each other, but shared very little code and were of course doing completely different things.

You're kind of right though in that it never felt like we did anything because it's what patients or providers wanted. We didn't do things if we were afraid providers wouldn't like it, but a lot of work seemed to be mostly driven by regulatory requirements (meaningful use, icd10, etc.).
Assumptions aside, I think this raises a valid question of how we balance high density urban housing and suburban housing in american cities. Can a city have both options as workable solutions?

Is there more demand for high density urban housing that cities are not meeting? If so, why?

Is there a demand for more access from suburban commuters? If so, why isn't the access available?

Are these solutions mutually exclusive?
From what I've seen in HN people are more interested in complaining about how Evan handles the language than trying to do something about it or suggest a better approach. Just makes me trust him more, personally.
Notarization is moving the problem to a different place, but not fixing the problem.

Imagine we take our city - Anycity, USA, where only good, trustworthy, and honest folk live, and we simultaneously decide to replace door locks with neighborhood locks.. then the city likes the idea and sponsors us to replace neighborhood locks with town locks - locks on the few roads leading in and out of town.

Now you start the see the problem. Yes we need walls, yes we need fences, and bigger walls, and bigger fences, and the city needs more authority, and then more authority. And we have to put much more trust in the city, but they really need it in order to keep us good and honest citizens safe.

By the way, what happens if a "bad guy" from Thosepeople, USA gets in disguised in a Minivan?

This is not a one-to-one analogy I know, but again, I hope it points out the innate problem with Notarization. It just moves that one problem to Apple's lap. Meanwhile creating several more innate problems.
>I remember WordPerfect being very popular in law offices, but also dictation machines, so who knows?

There was a period during which PCs (as well as other word processors) were coming in when computers were seen as being increasingly important (in law and elsewhere) but the management at many companies weren't sold on it being a good ROI for professionals, especially those billing by the hour, to use them directly.

There was definitely a period of time in many places where there were computers but it was secretaries/paralegals/etc. who actually typed on them. And, remember, a lot of young professionals in the late 1980s had never really learned to type, even hunt and peck.

That’s true. But since the mid-20th century, most people enjoy music, “dramatic productions” (for lack of a better generic term), and live sports electronically rather than in person.

I know it’s not the same, and I also enjoy live entertainment and the other amenities of cities. I just don’t think these amenities are historically a prime driver for urbanization. People historically move to cities for economic reasons, providing a lucrative and competitive market for entertaining them.

If it helps at all, the article mentions that the photographer uses exposures "as long as 30 seconds," so these drones aren't in the air all that long. Unless and until hundreds of copycat drone-light photographers start swarming deserts and lakes, I don't feel too bad about the light and noise pollution incurred to produce this shockingly creative landscape photography. Besides, I bet the effects of a single drone flying for a few minutes pales in comparison to the headlights, engine sounds, and emissions of the car used to get to and from the photo location.
I hate to speculate, given that I don't have individual insight about Facebook. However, I did work on developer-facing products at Uber and learned a bit about what it takes for such a product to succeed or fail.

Ultimately, the success of AWS-like developer tools depends almost entirely on executive buy-in--maybe even more so than product-market fit. Amazon is unique in the the executives at the top clearly believe in giving AWS everything it needs to succeed. Other companies are often run by executives either don't believe in the business value of developer tools or they're unwilling to commit the resources for any developer-facing product to succeed.

Facebook is an interesting example in that they open-source such great technology even purchased https://parseplatform.org/ in 2013, but they shut down and open-sourced Parse a few years later. I'm guessing that the execs at the top didn't feel that the business value of Parse was worth the ops burden.

A few years ago, Steve Yegge wrote about the differences between Amazon and Google in how they thought about developer platforms[1]. A lot has changed since then--Google+ is no more and Google Cloud is a much bigger business, but Yegge's post describes a dilemma that all consumer-facing companies have.

I think it's about delaying the side-effect until `transaction.commit()`, and implementing as much of the business-logic as possible to happen inside the transaction.

Virtual worlds (a model of the real world) could also be useful. Like, let the side effect run in the virtual world and let me inspect that virtual world. Here, "me" could be a programmer figuring out how to code against your API, or some ML thing trying to figure out how to make two APIs talk to one another.

Feeder aircraft suffer from poor pilot / aircraft utilization. Once you go with remote operators you can increase operator utilization significantly. A computer can also fly the aircraft much more efficiently than a human can allowing for significant fuel savings. Other benefits include lifting of crew rest time requirements and improved dispatch rates. Some of this allows for better asset utilization. Finally, you can also re-balance a fleet across geographies more easily to address shifting demand.
The author, Dr. Atul Gawande, is more than a bit of a rock star. He's a Rhodes Scholar and MacArthur Fellow "genius grant" recipient. He wrote, among other things, The Checklist Manifesto, having headed up (IIRC) a World Health Organization project to implement short, bang-for-the-buck preincision checklists for surgeries, which apparently improved outcomes dramatically.

This looks like a great product! Can I ask you want sets you apart from other services in this market like Vercel's og-image [0] or other more marketing-heavy sites that let you have more control and customization?

Also, I'm really curious what this will cost when you release it as a service? What do you think something like this is worth to people? Is it like a $20/year service or like $1,000/year? Are you going after mostly consumers and indie devs or big corporations?

I assume you have never lived in Houston. Right now at 5:30pm (17:30) it's 95F (35C). I don't wanna walk 20 mins anywhere in this heat, I don't wanna stand and wait on the bus in the heat, I can't go pick up ice cream from the store and walk it home in this heat.

Surely you think, summer isn't that long, just tough it out a few months. Well I regularly run the A/C in the "winter months". Several years ago during the week of chistmas, I went to a late night movie, as I was walking back to my car to go home I noticed the following: at 11:30pm it was 80F (26C), the humidity was around 80-90%, and I was wearing shorts.

> it can inline C without FFI

I'm not sure what you mean by "FFI" (I would apply the term "FFI" to the way ATS interoperates with C, too), but you can certainly get cross-language LTO between C and Rust, since they both compile to LLVM IR.

> you can iterate indefinitely at the desired pace to bring new layers of formally verified API in places of previously unverified C calls without breaking backward compatibility and expected runtime profiles

You can do this in Rust, too.

> In any case, if one is discussing modern and safe languages, there's a dramatic difference between using a C library and using a library native to the language.

The dramatic nature of that difference is whether that library exists or not. Odds are, if exists then it's written in C. Thus this point is mute with regards to Rust because at best it's relegated to a nice-to-have, in the sense you can enjoy the same features that are already available in C but with language-specific assertions.
At my last employer, you had a hard time moving up the career ladder unless you could point to concrete results with dollar signs attached. And the OOM on those dollars started at 7 figures.

Similarly, you couldn’t just fake these types of savings because they needed to be showing up in budget requests. If I saved $10M in hardware costs, then that line item in the budget better reflect it.

Almost all of those have been solved by Android's PWA implementation. I can go to an enabled site and add it to my apps list. After that, it looks and acts like any other app on the device [except that it doesn't take up any space on my phone :)]
Apt completing successfully is not the same thing as the installation completing successfully. For example, Apt could successfully update a bunch of libraries, versions, etc. which now breaks your application, but because apt's actual tasks succeeded the snapshot gets removed and now you can't roll back.

> and hopefully only your rootfs; such a technique would effectively require moving all user-mutable data to other mounted volumes

I believe that zfs installation creates a separate dataset for /home, meaning that it won't be rolled back along with everything else. The same should be true for things like /var/lib/, but I haven't done such an install in a while, since the first 20.04 build with zfs enabled.
I'd research what your contract really says - most of the time, they only claim IP in areas that overlap the employer's business, on their time, using their systems, or some combination of those three. A contract that says they own everything you create while employed is heavy-handed, and should be negotiated before you sign.

As far as where to disclose, they should include a form to document any prior inventions when they gave you the employment contract. If they did not, ask HR. It is a fairly standard addendum to IP contracts.
Relying on a client not being able to guess a random number is also important for Diffe-Hellman and like, all private key generation AFAIK. I don't think anything says private keys are security by obscurity because they require you to locally generate random numbers
If a block of code is short (a few lines or less), and doesn't get reused in multiple places, I often prefer to add a clarifying comment rather than extracting the code out into a separate function. That way they reader doesn't need to go jumping around to see what the code does. And you can fit more information on a comment line than you can in aSuperDuperDescriptiveFunctionName.

If you want Apple hardware or iOS but not their app store, it's not available. If your whole family uses iMessage then you need an iPhone even if you don't want any of the rest of it. The fact that many people then buy an iPhone and use the App Store regardless is not evidence that they want it this way, it's the harm that forcing it to be this way is inflicting on them.

I'm saying that GR and QM apply to all things, not that the brain "isn't quantum". It follows QM rules in the ordinary sense that electrons orbit atoms in the brain the same way as they do in other well established contexts. Similarly, the many-world interpretation is that the non-locality experiments make perfect sense if you include the human brain in the experiment and stop excluding it. That's simply a statement that we are not "gods", somehow standing apart from the Universe and observing it from the outside. We're in it, and interacting with it, the same as everything else.

The only really interesting QM "stuff" that seems to be going on is that some enzymes have incredibly high efficiencies, even when bathed in dilute reactants. There are hints that this may be some sort of inherently quantum mechanical process that cannot be understood classically. But this is a tenuous hypothesis at best, there's no hard evidence yet, let alone a good theory.

I'd argue that they generally aren't... except that, over time, cities may grow until they are right next to the airport again. And then new airports get constructed - usually far away.

Only for certain classes of freight. You distribution center needs ready access to transportation, it doesn't have to be next to your consumers. We are not delivering packages to their destinations with planes, after all. Usually trucks do that.
