At Waterloo in Canada we're taught in our computer security class that paper can be more secure than a computer, especially in a voting system, and in fact that's the reason we don't switch like our southern neighbours. I'd say that every medium we use throughout time typically can never be replaced. We'll keep paper forever--just use it only when it benefits us over computers.
Good points. I should note that my foreign income was taxed and paid in the jurisdiction in which I earned it, so if you are not liable to pay foreign taxes on foreign income, you may not get the deduction advantages of a tax treaty to offset your US tax liability on worldwide income, as the intent is to not double tax. If you weren’t taxed on that income yet, the US may hold a tax liability on any and all income not already taxed, and it may be taxed a second time if said income exceeds limits.

That’s how I understand it, anyway. I hope to be corrected if I’m inaccurate as this is not my area of expertise.
This is 100% true. Really all of the steps I have above are ways of getting started, that come at the task from an oblique direction. Because you end up doing things like breaking out the task into steps for all sorts of tasks, both good and bad, that step doesn't feel like something that's specific to the "ugh" task when you do do it for an "ugh" task. As a result, its kind of a way of getting started, without actually having to really "start" the task.

Let's forget about the tens of thousands of companies that thrived and hundreds of thousands of jobs created for Bill Gates' horrible ways. And the fact that they willingly paid because they thought having Microsoft products was better than not having Microsoft products. No one benefited from his robber-baronry and everyone was forced to use Microsoft technology, even Apple, and those products brought no value to no one. Oh man, I can't even believe he would ever want to donate half of it to the prosperity of humanity either. What good does that do?

The galactic GPS would be based quasars, e.g. far away galaxies, that would pretty much appear the same positions anywhere in the Milky Way. Quasar spins are gradually slowing down. So you could tell how many light years you are from the quasar by the observed spin rates. In addition, you can determine epoch time from knowing position a spin decay rates.

Carl Sagan put a quasar GPS on a golden plaque on both Voyager probes, so future intelligences could tell where and when the Voyagers came from.

The problem in this specific case isn't necessarily just in the net benefits of fossil fuels but instead in how the benefits and their associated costs are distributed.

I'm certain that the profits of the MNCs pushing this will not remain in Kenya. Yet the pollution and its consequent financial/non-financial costs most certainly will.

Lol. I think the key is three-fold.

Firstly, the act of breaking out a task can be difficult, if you haven't done the first step of actually documenting out the task.

And if you find the step of documenting out the task hard to do? There's actually a 0th step I didn't mention that psychologists suggest doing first, which is to document out WHY you need to do the task. I want to be clear here, the WHY isn't a "I have to do this or not get fired", its a reaffirmation of your VALUES that make doing the task important "I want to be a good engineer, and being a good engineer requires me to be able to analyze xyz".

Documenting out your values, will help motivate to at least document the problem.

Documenting the problem usually makes breaking out the tasks pretty easy.

Since I started doing this, I have actually come to LOVE breaking out a task into concrete steps. I put the reason why in another response here, but I think the reason why is itself two-fold. Firstly, its something I do for lots of tasks, both good and bad. As a result, the step of documenting out a problem doesn't actually feel associated with the specific ugh problem. Its a normal boilerplate step I have to do for lots of problems. As a result, when I'm breaking out the task into concrete steps, it doesn't actually feel like I'm working on the problem, and certainly not the "ugh" part of the problem. The second reason I love it, is because it feels like a way of making progress on the problem, without actually having to work on the problem. Does that make sense? Like I've somehow cheated the universe into letting me make progress, without actually having to do the part of the Ugh task that I don't like. Which is awesome.

And then once you've broken it out, the rules I've mentioned make getting through it much easier, though not perfect.
> New Elixir thread -> nickjj pointing out the superiority of Python or Ruby. Lol!

Not really. He asked a question about using Elixir as a general purpose programming language so I gave my honest advice and opinion on using it as a scripting language based on prior experience.

Instead of cherry picking my replies out of context, why not go through my entire comment history in all Elixir and Phoenix HN threads? I'll guarantee you'll find tons of positive comments.

Here's a couple to get you started after spending 60 seconds searching:

The first two have over 100 up votes combined for reference.

I'm not looking to argue on the internet, but I do find it strange that so many folks in the Elixir community cannot take any constructive criticism of the language in any way.

That's because it's a idiotic idea. A huge problem for bikers is getting out of the way of barely there car, suv and truck drivers looking at phones and drinking hot beverages.

Billionaires are, universally as a rule, vindictive, sinister, exploitative bullies. The only proper response to their continued existence is contempt, hate, fear, and opposition.
They have a whole department called "risk management" that is responsible for combatting fraud. (I worked for PayPal under that department in a past life.)

I'm sure there's a "security team" somewhere that responds to attempts to directly breach PayPal's infrastructure, though I never interacted with them. (Paypal has quite a bit of on-campus physical security, and I did interact with them almost every week.)

Circling back to the discussion at hand: PayPal probably doesn't have any digital/financial security staff at their call centers (why would they?) so as far as the call center reps are concerned, there is no "security team".

You'd just use some math to remove the influence of the black hole. Or for a more hands-on answer, you could have some reference beacons that are significantly further away from the black hole.

In a broad sense, the answer goes like this: Almost everything in the galaxy shares an approximate reference frame when it comes to velocity and special relativity. For general relativity and gravity, that's obviously a distortion so it doesn't count.

In the long term, to prevent very minor drift, we can use quasars as a reference.

>> This sounds like what Apple is doing right now and everyone keeps defending it when it actual fact it's even worse

What is it exactly that Apple is doing that you are referring to (I honestly don’t know)?
At a large, well-known company where I once worked I dropped all the outbound iptables rules on the basis of cost. ipt_do_table was using ~15% of their CPU fleet. It was ridiculous. The important thing to know is that the length of the non-matching rules is the scaling factor for iptables. If you have a rule that would short-circuit most packets (such as allow to 10.0.0.0/8 or whatever), put that as the first rule. But more importantly is to force the person who thinks there should be an egress firewall to write down in complete sentences a logical case for it. I found in my career that it's usually just performative netsec, serves no actual purpose and protects nobody from nothing, while costing a fortune.

Not identical, but goodreads.com came to mind as the default book recommendation site.

And the smaller the steps, the easier they are to individually complete. And the more dopamine rewards for crossing each one off the list. And the more self-rewards you get for making said steps, which means the more reinforcement you're getting for working on the task at all, despite not having had to do the part you didn't want to do to begin with.

And lastly, I've found the breaking out the steps helps a lot with being able to identify places where I can take a break. When its all one giant task in my head, it sounds like something that can take forever. But when its broken out like above, its obvious you can take a break after the store, or after researching the grill, etc, which is way easier than trying to tackle it all at once.

There has been no economic growth at all over the past 5 years and possibly much longer (if you account for possible market manipulations by reserve banks).
If you measure the market cap of the biggest corporations relative to any scarce commodity like Gold or Silver, the charts would be totally flat.
If you measure stock prices in terms of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, then stock prices have been dropping rapidly.

It doesn't make sense to measure stock prices in terms of fiat currencies anymore because the Reserve Banks of the world can and have printed unlimited amounts of it.
You should only measure the price of stocks relative to the value of scarce assets which have a stable intrinsic value (which is not the case for the dollar or any fiat currency).

In Venezuela, the stock market yields hundreds or even thousand of times your investment per year if returns are denominated in the national Venezuelan Bolivar currency; this is way higher than any ROI you can get from any modern stock markets in the US or anywhere else... It doesn't mean that these companies are good investments and are actually growing (they're not; they're tanking just like Venezuela itself).

If you think this is not what's happening in the US, just consider that the price of US stocks are strongly correlated with each other... This is totally consistent with what's happening in Venezuela; the degree of correlation in price of unrelated stocks tells you the degree to which the so-called 'growth' can be attributed to currency inflation.

I believe he has the soul of a gamer. (heck, he ran a regular poker game at Harvard).

And when he was immersed into the money-making game, he was all in, willing to do anything to win.

But when you eventually beat the game, you don't get that thrilled anymore, there's no big challenge ahead. You can play for a while to see how far can you go, but it ends up being boring after a while.

So, I think he moved on to basically a real life version of reversal Plague Inc (instead of trying to infect everyone, he tries to beat a disease). This is a harder challenge in many ways, because he needs to deal with tons of geopolitics, international affairs, research and development, human behavior, etc.

If you see it from that perspective, you can still see that he is still a hard player, but this time, he is playing a game that can be beneficial for everybody, not just himself.

Bill Gates was just extremely brutal and cold, both in his personal relations and in business practises.

Elon Musk, or Steve Jobs have probably been just as brutal but at least they innovated and created cool stuff. They have/had vision.

MS under Gates was special in that they didn't come up with anything very innovative. MS totally lacked vision. They first killed innovative competitors, then maybe incorporated parts of that innovation after delay. Gates was incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent, but not visionary. Tech was only secondary consideration to business. MS under gates was technologically underwhelming and super dull. After Gates resigned from his position as Chief Technology Officer in MS, Microsoft's as a tech company started to improve almost instantly.

Redox looks very interesting. It seems one good approach might be to force new apps and drivers for Redox itself, but provide a VM environment that would run sandboxed Linux and other OS's securely. (Similar to the Qube OS idea.)

That way Redox could offer a considerably improved API and app development environment without worrying about backward compatibility, while being useful as a daily driver in the meantime.
