Steele is/was well-acquainted with the bad parts of Java—he helped design Scheme after all. But in the alternative timeline where Java was not created, Java (and other machine-independent runtimes) would have not have become popular, and everyone would still be statically compiling C++.

That should be the exception, rather than the rule.
Doesn't matter if we he owe it or not. What matter is can the irs prove it?
I scrolled the pages using the mouse. It is possible that on Android scrolling is a gesture that is an interaction which activates autoplay. Maybe there is an option that overrides this but you should file a bug report as by default someone will expect to block it.
What’s an empirical proof? I’m not being facetious, I’m genuinely interested because I’ve never heard the term before.

To me, a proof is a deductive mathematical argument that takes a claim of the form “if P then Q” and shows how Q is necessarily true when we assume P. I don’t know how to translate from reality into that formalism. All of modern mathematics does not attempt to do so. Instead, it is built up from the axioms of set theory, which take the form of rules for manipulating symbols on paper (or on a computer or even in our minds) without saying anything specific about what those symbols really mean.
Historically taxes were (and theoretically still should be) to fund the lifestyles of the king, the king's family and the nobility.

America was founded on breaking from traditions to try new ideas (a government for the people by the people), but somewhere along the way y'all stopped innovating and started resisting all change. Redistribution of wealth fits perfectly into "gov for the people by the people". The many benefiting from the work of the many.
Then that would be a sysadmin / DevOps responsibility rather than your application developers. Or at least you'd have those guys involved with the investigation.

But honestly, how often is a web applications bug due to a kernel bug?
Cryptoholders should consider themselves lucky it's not considered a "collectible". For example:

"For federal income tax purposes, gold is considered a collectible - just like art, stamps, or those baseball cards you've been hoarding. What that means is that instead of a maximum long-term capital gains rate of 15% for most taxpayers (20% for high-income taxpayers), you'll pay a maximum long-term capital gains rate of 28%."

The maximum current you can draw is based on the ratings of the plugs, cabling, fuses, circuit breakers, etc. Regular US appliances use less than 15A. I believe UK is similar at about 13A. The voltage available almost doubles the available power.
> HN is and has been passively aggressive towards Indians

HN is not a person, so it doesn't have feelings. Any population sample of millions of people, which HN is, is going to surface examples of pretty much whatever feeling or view you care to mention. I'd be careful not to draw general conclusions from this, because people tend to do that as a mirror image of their own feelings and views, not through any objective perception of HN.

It does (they can be used with Android devices), afaik only the pairing part is proprietary.
I had a similar thought. The guy has 750k+ subscribers, and probably high viewing. That should make him some income (no idea how much though).

The fact that he handwritten some stuff means nothing to me (I am not an IP lawyer). If I buy someone's book, and start making handwritten copies, and giving them away for free am I not breaking any IP/copyright/etc. laws?

The "for free" or "for profit" is also a valid point in the discussion, as the "fair use" is.

I am wondering on the following:

1) did he get a lawyer, and the lawyer told him that he was on the WRONG, and he changed his tune and re-working all his videos?

2) did he get a lawyer, and the lawyer told him that he was on the RIGHT, but it would be cheaper to revamp all his vids instead of chasing this in the court?

There are some things he is not telling, but it's ok. It's his business, he will play it as he wishes.
So either no one with a car does anything in Europe or it's possible with a smaller car.

It may be worth saying that everything in America is bigger than its European counterpart, to a first approximation. You can tell that Tesla's are designed for an American market by just how fat the back is compared to (say) a Mercedes S-class - it still fits on the road but it's very voluptuous
The Poliaris has a bunch more money tied up in suspension than an economy subcompact.
But the animals are there, the rocks and stars too. And they can "ask" the same question - why not human? To me it's rather a silly question.
Isn’t a much easier way to look around our planet and search for satellites of past civilizations? Or even on the moon where everything lasts much longer. Long after we and everything of us is gone from this planet moon vehicles and other devices which were left there will likely still be there unless a meteorite hit them.
This way you lose them every time when something goes wrong with the infra, or when your fleet autoscales. Or if you do blue-green deployment with infra, then on every deployment.

Your storage/indexing money spend scales with your company. If you have < 10 hosts you can probably handle logs with a cost that's a rounding error with something like loki+grafana.

If you have a bigger environment and more people, the cost will be more significant, but you'll also likely have more revenue to justify it.
Now you're talking about three kids within a very short window of time, which is even less common.

But... my own youngest and oldest are almost exactly three years apart, so I can tell you that even a Toyota Camry was incapable of handling three American-standard carseats side-by-side.

However, in countries with lower speed limits, less bulky carseats are required to keep kids safe even in the unusual case of three closely-spaced kids.

> 80% of americans live in a urban area.

No they do not. Half of Americans live in the suburbs or equivalent, which are not urban environments and certainly nothing remotely compared to what qualifies as an urban environment in eg Europe. Having a Target, Costco, Home Depot, Whole Foods and Starbucks doesn't qualify a region as urban. 70%-75% of Americans don't live in urban environments:

"America Really Is a Nation of Suburbs"

"According to the newly released 2017 American Housing Survey (of nearly 76,000 households nationwide), about 52 percent of people in the United States describe their neighborhood as suburban, while about 27 percent describe their neighborhood as urban, and 21 percent as rural."

> What happened with Haxe, where did it fail?

As I remember Haxe started as an alternative to ActionScript (language used by the Flash player) when Adobe refused to do anything about it's platform's coming demise around 2010, it's main feature was that you could compile it to ActionScript and JS.

I think it failed to become big because it was not backed by a tech giant - they developed their own language which they could fully control (MS - C#, Google - Dart,..) Also the small team behind it did not have the resources to make great tooling for it, thus Unity took over Flash in the small/medium game segment.

The bug here is in media player to listen on key-up events.
Mouse-button-up makes sense because the user can move the mouse to
cancel the click. But key events should be on key-down and
that's how it is done most of the time. So if you use key-up you
run into these problems.
Not sure what's up with your insistence on this.

Maybe you want to spread uncertainty so that some fraction of people continue believing these capabilities aren't out there (and extremely common among the moneyed classes)?

Maybe you want to continue your own cognitive dissonance?
Started listening a while ago, but never got around to finishing. Picking it up again, thanks!
It's a bit "squishy", to use my youngest's word, but you can easily put three car seats in one. Helps if at least one of them is only a booster though.
I would argue in the case where I used the currency to buy something in that currency that I did not have a “gain on a currency transaction” of any amount.

Datadog founders are french and they have a big R&D presence in Paris. Europe brain drain is a known problem for its tech sector but still underestimated in my opinion.
Just let people drive whatever the hell they want as long as they stay off the roads where traffic flows faster than X.

Moped? Chinese golf car larping as an EV? Construction equipment? Shouldn't matter what it is, it should be allowed. There's no reason all this stuff (and bikes and pedestrians) can't coexist in low speed areas. And there are tons of industrial facilities the world over where it does all coexist.

This will never happen though because a lot of the interest in cheap EVs comes from a subconscious desire to not have to share the roads with the poors in their '99 Taurus wagons with mismatched body panels and letting people drive whatever defeats the point of forcing them to drive something palatable to the people making the rules.

That's fine if you don't have many servers and treat them as pets[1] but once you start scaling sideways, auto-scaling, using docker / Kubernetes or any of the other tooling around build pipelines or clustering and you quickly run into issues if those logs aren't streamed to a central repository.

This is the age old problem of simple problems being harder to solve at scale. Running a blog on Digital Ocean is very different to running a million dollar application on AWS.

Very big fan of Alan Watts, but never heard of Thompson. Especially a fan of the Tao of Pooh rec. Looking more for programming novels, such as ways to write better, faster, and cleaner code.
I have 4 kids so we had 3 car seats for a while. We're in the UK and we have a Vauxhall (Opel) Zafira which is a 7 seat minivan, very small by US standards, built on the chassis of the Astra small hatchback. I believe we have used this car to do everything we might do with an SUV, including taking our 6 person family on extended camping trips (with a small trailer) and across Europe as far as Lyon, Geneva and Luxembourg (with a roof box).
It's a rough deal if you want someone you can trust. Picture a conservative trying to find a psychiatrist or pediatrician. Getting one who won't be hateful and threatening is a gamble. There are going to be opinions on family structure, child discipline, education, religion, and so much more. Normal conservative behavior can be viewed as neglect or abuse.

While it can theoretically go the other way, with conservative psychiatrists and pediatricians viewing normal leftist behavior as neglect or abuse, the lopsided political orientation of those professions makes that an unlikely occurrence.
Amazing I just read counterfeit analog multipler and thought "this must be about the AD633“.

I received counterfeits of that chip before and they were so bad they didn't work, mostly just getting hot.

The fact that I got my money back speaks volumes.
What's interesting is that a few years ago, Ron Paul made a pretty good argument with respect to abolishing the IRS.

He wanted to fund the government with excise taxes and tariffs like it was funded for many years.

Thing is, people who are accustomed to the IRS, thought he was a little "out there" because of it.
In their defense, that's a great way to filter out snake oil salesmen that would happily take your money and promise you a machine that will give you the right answer no matter what.
I thought the world, the internet would have learned by now it was never ARM ISA vs x86 ISA or RISC vs CISC.

I like that. The way I like to think of it is that mathematics is the language of the Universe. All parts of the universe can be described by this language but not all things described by the language may occur within the universe.

While it can be used to describe the reality we experience about our universe, it can also create imagined universes that have only the most tenuous grasp (if any). Like any language it supports fiction and non-fiction applications.

There are also rules about how the language evolves that are more strict and defined than human language and the evolution often is more akin to discovery. It’s like the exercise to try to write every single possible English language novel to find Shakespeare. Except instead of stories about human experience we’re trying to identify which random storyline we’re following maps to some fundamental truth about how the universe works.

You can sometimes also map fiction to our experience of the world so that it becomes more tangible (eg playing with 4d objects in a 3d video game viewed through a 2d plane).

This is no different from reading a fiction book to learn about concepts like compassion even though the story itself is made up.

So it’s not either or to me. Both empiricism and Platonism interpretations coexist. Empiricism is what we use to understand what story reality is telling us and how to confirm our comprehension of that story is correct. Platonism is that mathematics itself as a concept is something humans can explore and try to master but exists outside of us and the rules of the language are predefined outside of humanity. Note that just like any language it even has really significant gaps you can’t do anything about (which ironically the language gave us the ability to prove that about itself).

That being said the original question this article references indicates a lack of curiosity, which is where my problem with it stems from. And it’s not even like it’s hard to find (although it may require more than a superficial query). “What are practical applications of algebra” is answered in the first few hits. “Who discovered/invented algebra” can be similarly answered. These questions only sound deep if you are actively avoid actually trying to find answers to these questions. There are legitimate philosophical discussions to be had but the original question was not an attempt to have that discussion.
I could be mistaken and/or have an incomplete picture based on my relatives' experiences of running a small business in France. My impression was that an amount corresponding to the total salary of their employees was required in tax payment from the employer, with the employee's taxes coming on top of this.

This tax could of course consist of social security or retirement benefit contribution, if so I got an incomplete picture. Are you by chance familiar with this system?

I am familiar with Norway's system. Employer pays 14% of employee's gross salary as tax and required to pay at least 2% as retirement contributions. Employee normally pays in somewhere between 30-40% tax on what's left, 8 percentage points of these being the state retirement contribution. Socialized healthcare. Company taxed 22% on all profits and owners taxed 31% on all dividends and capital gains. Most of the particularly rough parts of the tax system are in form of VAT, taxation of capital and special-purpose taxes on various sectors and activities, mostly transportation. With the 70%-ish oil producer tax being a welcome special case of this.

In this case, our modest salaries for globally in-demand skills are mostly due to a lack of very profitable companies, plus probably a degree of cultural bias against high performers.

Marginal tax rate tops out at ~46% after $110,000/year, so one isn't incentivized to work hard for salary increases.
It is I think possible but not very likely
I see this stat come up from time to time in HN discussions but what is sometimes lost is that what the census considers “urban” is pretty far from common parlance usage of the term. According to the census, to not be “rural” you only need a population above 2,500.[1] Having lived in communities this small, long commutes can be a fairly regular part of life. I would venture to say most people would consider much of the “urban” dwellers by census standards live quite a “rural” life.

At that price, they won't pass us crash-safety tests.

Look at the British mini and compare it to the Cooper mini that ended up for sale here. And that's British vs US safety standards. I've spent enough time in China to know that the difference there would be even more extreme.
Cars which the American market describes as “superminis” can fit five people, and if have more family than that then sure nothing shops stop you buying a bigger car, but most people don’t. Shopping can go in the passenger section if you really are bulk-buying too much for just the boot. 70 MPH is the upper limit, not the lower limit, but even if it was a lower limit I believe the suggestion is to lower the limit.

The question is: "At any time during 2020, did you sell, receive, send, exchange or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency?"

and right #7 says: "Taxpayers have the right to expect that any IRS inquiry, examination, or enforcement action will comply with the law and be no more intrusive than necessary"

Whats the confusion? The IRS has a legitimate power to ask taxpayers about their income, in compliance with the law. Asking the question doesn't appear to be "more intrusive than necessary".
Weeks. I wish.

Neither. When I go to the official app store, I already know what I am getting and why I am getting it. The few times I have glanced at reviews, they have been useless.

When I'm browsing for Android apps, I tend to stick to F-Droid, where I judge from the description and maybe the website. They don't offer ratings or reviews. Much of the open source ecosystem seems to be like this. You don't get ratings in most package managers and extension managers. At best you will get download counts.

I think the differentiation between commercial software (even the gratis stuff) and open source is telling. Ratings and reviews are about marketing, not the actual quality of the product.
Urban definitions are not consistent across countries.
I don't know what the experience is like for people in the Netherlands. But a little bit of googling in English shows quite a bit of stories about Dutch funds getting major govt funding and a bunch of govt programs offering startups money.

So I'd wonder how many funds are truly private. And for those that aren't I'd like to see if any bureaucracy gets pushed onto to the startups they fund.

Say EU-funded VCs, due to the special obligations they're under will often make startups comply with many of the same stuff. So even though a startup might not be a grant recipient themselves they will ultimately have to submit to that regime too.

Them getting caught required a bit of extraordinary luck on the part of the victims and a lot of over-confidence on the part of the perps.

After almost getting spotted once they came back and the victims managed to get a photo of their tag.

Without that the whole thing would probably be dismissed by people as a crazy conspiracy theory.

I drive a Fiat 500e with what they bill as an 84-mile range, and I live in a suburb of Dallas. I actually get closer to 100 than 84, but I am rarely concerned about the range, despite the extreme sprawl. But I know people who have commutes that would make driving my car nearly impossible, or at least impossible without mid-day charging.
Way more than half. Even if you live in an urban area, you occasionally need to drive out of the urban area.
I think that because they directly show the videos, it forces a reply from you which gives them better data to make recommendations.

On other platforms like YouTube for example, there are a lot of factors beyond the video itself that influences if a person even clicks on it (like the thumbnail, the title, the number of views, who the creator is), so if someone doesn't click on a video, that doesn't tell you if they would have liked it or not. Because of that your data to make recommendations isn't as accurate.

That's the main difference I see with TikTok. They make recommendations proactively, instead of reactively.

It is pretty undeniable that subsequent Swedish, British, and US governments have been harassing Assange for 10 years now with nay a repercussion. Nobody lost their job, nobody lost an election. Same for Snowden, Manning, Winner, Kelly... It seems like our societies have become completely unable and unwilling to demand accountability, our rulers only ever fail upwards. So yeah, I’m using a broad brush because it’s very hard not to.
This is an example they give of how a paradox will resist being created:

> In the coronavirus patient zero example, you might try and stop patient zero from becoming infected, but in doing so you would catch the virus and become patient zero, or someone else would. No matter what you did, the salient events would just recalibrate around you. Try as you might to create a paradox, the events will always adjust themselves, to avoid any inconsistency

Could this hold true if it's something more public? Like the classic time-travel idea of going back to kill Hitler? That's such a global, public and world changing event that surely it can't just be somehow absorbed.
More like someone nervously talking their book, first and foremost trying to reassure themselves.

I think the GP can relax, no one interprets the "Tesla nemesis" in the title as anything else than sensationalism. The two EV markets have absolutely nothing in common except the (maybe) compatible charging stations.
The RISC-V spec includes recommended insn sequences for checking arithmetic overflow. With macro instruction fusion, these can easily be turned into hardware "overflow instructions" - it's purely an implementation detail.
