In other words, both of you were idiots. Sitting on your butt and programming is not a business. It doesn't make sense to form a company unless you are actually running a business.

FYI -- You and your partner could have formed a general partnership, gotten a separate TIN from the FTB and IRS, and registered a ficticous business name with the county. When the company is ready to sell software, you can transition from a GP to an LLC. Your CPA should have told you this; get a better one next time.

I'm not an expert on Al Jazeera, but I've never seen a negative story from them about Qatar and the article seems to suggest the US government thinks they wouldn't.

I'm not sure what you mean with the last parts of your sentence. I've definitely seen stories from Fox News and MSNBC about the economical benefits of war or foreigners dying in war. Many of the anchors on those networks take great pride in making things uncomfortable for the powers that be, although they disagree on precisely who those powerful people are.

I mean, "is x divisible by y?" is only one aspect of fizzbuzz, and something that can be solved in many ways - you don't have to use the mod trick. You could write a function that uses a loop and subtraction to do that bit, if it comes down to it. If I just want to see you can code I'll take it and move on, and if I'm at a point in the interview where I am looking for something else then that's a conversation starter.

But if you are applying for a programming position and claim a decade of programming experience - and literally can't come up with any path towards a solution - I smell a rat.
Watching two people fight over specialized facts is fascinating. We readers have no clue what‘s true.
Enforcement can change at any time and on a whim. If violations of this sort are infrequent, that combined with difficulty of enforcement may result in a lack of enforcement. If, suddenly, many people illegally entered the park this way, enforcement may increase both to curb the behavior and because enforcement is a lot easier when there are a lot of violators. Additionally, not everyone is able to be so cavalier about committing a misdemeanor because in practice it might not be enforced.

In any case, this is just moving the goalposts. The fact of the matter is that as the ordinance is written this behavior isn't allowed and can net you up to six months in jail and a $1000 fine.

Yes, I understand your position. I tend to disagree, because for me, the Windows world is not a better world: I don't specially like the Windows UI, I don't like how updates are done, I value using open-source software and I don't like my vendor to be constantly trying to make me use its software, be it Internet Explorer, Edge or Bing. But if that is the best of both worlds for you, that's great.

However, I feel WSL means using Linux to enhance a product (Windows) while at the same time preventing the growth of that same system in its standalone fashion. Because WSL means you won't be using a lot of the usual Linux desktop stuff, you'll be a pure Windows user in a lot of statistical data, and you won't be helping to make Linux a better OS. Not to say that it can get worse once Microsoft starts releasing Windows-only Linux components for WSL, as (I think) started happening already.

Those are great questions. I think it comes down to negligence and whether the employer makes a good faith attempt training and monitoring throughout the process. Sometimes that's difficult in new fields and then it seems like the burden falls less on the employee (the company is taking on this risk, given the chance for new rewards).
That sounds like a great reason to not let every trashy website in the world to spam them asking if they want to enable notifications.
This is perfectly understandable—mechanical keyboards are certainly not for everyone. I’m in the same boat but for slightly different reasons (and my ideal keyboards are the ThinkPad one you described and the desktop Apple Magic Keyboard, which has a really satisfying key feel).

I think a lot of people in the mechanical keyboard community think of their keyboards as a hobby just as much as a day-to-day tool. The huge variety of key-switches and keycaps and firmwares and the much greater customization opportunities make mechanical keyboards a very good hobby. And, given the variety, it’s probably possible to find the “perfect” keyboard for everyone.

In the end, I was convincing myself that the expensive mechanical keyboard I bought was better than my ThinkPad and Mac keyboards, when I actually still prefer the laptop-style keys. Is there a mech keyboard out there somewhere that would be the perfect fit for me? I’m sure. But I don’t want to spend the time and money searching for it when my current preferred models work plenty well for me. I’d rather spend my resources in other ways.

> Have you considered that many millennials are OK with paying more if it means everyone is taken care of? People don't always vote for policies that benefit solely themselves.

So that's why they vote for policies that exclusively benefit Boomers. Gotcha!

Have you considered that maybe Millenials just don't understand how money and taxes work?

I was talking to my friend the other day that lives in California and didn't know what Prop 13 was. He was a state champion debater in California but didn't know how property taxes worked in the state. I was shocked. If that's the slightest indication - most millennials have absolutely no idea how money and taxes work.

I've talked to friends about zoning, depreciation laws, capital gains taxes, backdoor Roth laws ect. They don't even have a clue.
Deploy Google Cloud Endpoints for Cloud Run with Terraform

For speed estimation, I wonder if the simplest thing would be two plate readers a fixed distance apart. Say they're attached to light poles N meters distant.

When the reader triggers and takes a picture, it pings your server for a timestamp. It does the processing and records car X at time T provided by the timestamp. You then calculate the speed by the distance between the two meters divided by the time between the two timestamps for X.

Provided that speeding cars are a problem in your neighborhood, I bet you could find the people responsible for the light poles (which likely have power associated to them) to let you install the devices, especially if you're providing the devices and servers.

I don't think you'd necessarily be able to ticket the drivers though, as you're not law enforcement. Maybe you'd be able to work with local law enforcement though.

> There are probably many people in your social circle with abusive parents. Just because they don't talk about it doesn't mean it didn't happen. People tend to keep their skeletons in their closets.

I've asked directly to a lot of people about their relationship with their parents. My point is more like: They all seem to love their parents. They call them daily or, minimum, weekly. They enjoy their family gatherings and being around their parents overall.

If you did the ACE test with the younger crowd in SV's tech sphere, I would really doubt many people with troubled parents would show up. I get a score of 7 on that test and I don't see many 7+'s here. https://acestoohigh.com/got-your-ace-score/ If you had shitty parents, you probably wouldn't get into tech here.

You are correct, the parent comment is just misinformed.

Oculus is indeed "getting out of PCVR" in a sense that they won't have a device that does only PCVR in the future, yeah. But both Quest and Quest 2 support PCVR functionality that works the exact same way Rift does, natively and very smoothly. With that in mind, it just doesn't make sense for Oculus to release a PCVR-only device, if their standalone-capable devices can support PCVR just as fine.
Yes, that's true, and Joe Drug Dealer only gave me his number because we share an interest in exotic tropical fish... I swear.

It does show that if Apple switches to arm, the value proposition will be significantly reduced since I will have to have a separate PC for gaming and testing things on windows.

> evidence

The problem with climate change is precisely this.

In order to convince everyone we need evidence. However evidence, strictly and scientifically speaking, can only be produced once a phenomenon is fully observed, understood, and reproducible.

In the case of climate change that means waiting for the changes to fully happen, which would be too late if climate change is indeed real.

So you are left with a choice: trust the partial data we have and conclude that climate change is happening, or deny it and hope it never materializes. The third option would be to consciously prefer to wait for climate change to fully materialize and only then take action, but this to me sounds a bit suicidal.

Which suggests that a simplistic "solution" to gerrymandering is that, after the total vote share of the best-performing party is calculated (call it V%), and their share of seats is also calculated (S%), the second-best-performing party should be able to propose a change in district winners that reduces the gap between V% and S%. (And so on for the other parties competing).

Of course that would be outrageously unfair, with politicians choosing which districts they win rather than voters choosing the politicians to represent them, and yet that is somehow an improvement over the current system of gerrymandering.

A slightly less extreme option would be for the districts that get flipped to be decided by where a given party came closest to winning (the "best near-winner" system used in Baden-Württemberg), but really the aim of this system is to remove all incentive to gerrymander in the first place, so this result flipping rule would never have to be applied.

If everyone agrees that the fire is causing the smoke and needs to be put out, we can do that.

Well if you want to compete with Google Drive you should probably look into starting an email service with good integration for file sharing. Don't know if you do it already but since I don't really log in to Dropbox daily and I do to Gmail, haven't really looked into it. And the Gmail + Drive combo works pretty well although I heavily dislike the Drive file user interface (why it can't be more like regular file system interface?)

I use Dropbox only because it's easy to edit/add files from the file system (and I don't like Microsoft or Google enough to give their services a chance).

Great idea. For personal finance the problem I have isn’t with things like Spotify but genuinely weird one off transactions from merchants that I bet wouldn’t be in a db like this and it’s hard to find out what it was. I’m not sure what the solution is except the banks sharing more metadata about the transaction with their users, it must be technically possible to trace it through somehow. I think it is worse when companies are small and group together or share company names t merchant accounts e.g. the local plumber runs a coffee shop too and so you’d see a completely different description.

Where you could solve this is to get so big that even those things will be in your db because you have so many users (ie most people are using this). But my problem is also solve by legislation about transaction descriptions that banks have to follow.

I've gone back and forth. I don't entirely regret running Big Sur, but it really doesn't offer any advantages to me. It's seemed more or less stable although I've had intermittent issues with Facetime not connecting to older devices.

I've become more annoyed trying to develop on it though, and outside of iOS, I do my development mainly on Linux now.
I suspect that posting about this on HN is one of the fastest routes towards getting this fixed, in terms of concentration of Google engineers likely to see your post.
I’ve been running the betas for a few weeks. The only issue I had was the calendar app not updating the month label as you scroll. Some potentially weird performance glitches that didn’t impede anything I was doing and got ironed out in later betas. Overall, easiest iOS upgrade so far. But I totally get where you are coming from. I have a horror story about several conservative versions of iOS that would constantly reboot my phone between 2 and 5 am at least once a month, buzzing and flashing the screen in the process. This followed me across resets and devices until the culprit was finally found and fixed after I put together clues from related issues on Stack Overflow AND got to talk to an actual Apple engineer on the phone. It was a struggle.

I didn't see the original, but that wording is absolutely not abusive (except maybe to Amazon, which deserves it). Nor is it any kind of "dismissal of a honestly presented comment", "trivial and unfair" or otherwise.

> my sentiment about Audible.

So that would be "The value with the lock-in (connivance, price) makes it worthwhile to Amazon."? Sounds about right.
