This is way overstating the complicated-ness of marginal income taxes for 99.9% of people. Adding up your income and performing 2 or 3 basic arithmetic operations is not "dramatically" more complicated, nor are marginal tax rate increases dramatic enough to affect any decision about doing more work or not.

And with the use of computers and electronic databases containing individual's unique ID # (e.g. social security #) and the internet to transmit payroll information, even a marginal income tax does not require employees to do any paperwork.

>It also creates arbitrage opportunities to minimize the rate, e.g. hiring your nephew who is in a lower tax bracket and then deducting his wages as an expense from your own taxes even though the money remains in your family.

This is irrelevant and I don't see why anyone would have a problem with people "minimizing" taxes in the way shown as it's above board, and tax policy taxes individuals, not families. If you want to consider money distributed to other members of your tribe as yours, then go for it.

That kind of stuff doesn't last too long in my experience though, once people get a taste of financial independence, the individuals in a "family" start looking out for themselves first.
Americans basically can't use foreign banks in the way you say; in fact it's quite difficult to use them at all and remain a US citizen. The primary way the wealthy keep their money is by putting it in trust funds; non profits basically. That's where zuckerschmuck and Gates keep their dough. I'm all for getting rid of those, but most people will whine it nukes their favorite charity.
When he took the stand off, I was quite impressed it used a screw. Then they had a place for the screw in the stand, even more impressed. Then a dummy cover for the screw hole, wow. The whole stand assembly rotates to hide the screw storage compartment. And arms to mount that stand to the console to lay it flat? Stunning the amount of engineering they've put in for a simple stand.
Interestingly, optics design software models a flat mirror as a coordinate transformation. "All models are false, but some are useful."
Not an expert, but..

QUIC is basically HTTP2 (bidi frames and keep-alive connections) over (TCP over UDP) with encryption builtin. The cool thing about QUIC also, is the ability to 'lower down' to the UDP layer and skip the control and encryption protocol if you need it. (I just dont know if they will extend this feature to the application level).

WebRTC is SRTP with UDP have hole punching et al. if you want so use UDP but with a whole problems of the UDP approach P2P world already taken care of.

WebSockets works over plain TCP.

QUIC is the more advanced of the protocols and it will probably "take over the world" with time, but it has yet to prove itself.

It probably can be a good fit to the cases where the WebRTC is being used for, but i dont now if Chrome will be ambitious enough to let developers mess with the building blocks of QUIC. If not, it will just become a sink to HTTP3 (a no small feat anyway).
A concrete use case would go a long way here.

Strictly speaking this is correct. Even in cases of treason, the only crime defined in the Constitution:

"The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted."
Yeah, every computer/console/handheld that I'm aware of has a coin cell battery, even if for nothing other than time-keeping. This isn't remotely surprising. Mobile phones are just about the only computer-like thing encountered in your daily life I can think of that don't have a coin-cell battery in them (so they will lose time if their main battery fully discharges and they're off-network).
I am not saying that. I'm saying that the polling data is so flawed because it's not getting into a specific democratic that it's off by much wider margin. So much so that if Trump wins again it's because it was a 40% chance he won both 2016 and 2020, we just don't have the polling data to prove that number.

So while you say 6% "happens all the time" - no it actually happens 6% of the time. But 40% for both terms would indicate more like he had a 70% last time and maybe another 60% this time. The pollsters can be correct for fucking California, but what good is that if they're super wrong because racist people in Alabama don't click or pick up the phone (or have no phone to begin with) or talk to pollsters.
People should look more at neurobiological solutions. Addiction comes from brain chemistry.

That doesn't necessarily mean the solution is drugs. Even certain vitamins are precursors to neurotransmitters. The form of Vitamin B6 known as P5P is a precursor to dopamine, as well as Vitamin C. I notice that these help me whenever I feel drained from social media.

I imagine with much better understanding and study of this, we could limit the damage.

But some of the most obvious tricks like infinite scrolling and autoplay could/should be controlled by users, and off by default.

There's a famous story that I believe Henry Ford scavenged junk yards for broken Model T's. Every time he found one, he recorded what was broken. After finding enough of them, he figured out the part that was never broken was something like the front axle assembly. So he went to his axle engineers, told them they built it too strong, and find ways to cut costs.

All true but not necessarily relevant. Hardware is hardware, and I'm trying to compare bang-for-the-buck for equivalent hardware. PS5 and PCs share instruction set, memory interface, GPU type, storage interface (although the PS5 has some unique I/O handling to reduce CPU involvement in moving data around), etc.

Sounds like the answer is "no".

I guess the facile, if unsatisfying, answer is: yes, you could assemble a similarly specced, similarly priced computer, so long as you're doing it at the same volume (i.e. buying millions of copies of each component like Sony is). Your price might be a little bit higher because Sony might be taking a loss on the upfront price with the expectation of future licensing gains, but Sony definitely isn't taking a huge loss to do so.
This is so backwards.
Points should never be reported or gamed between teams or within them. The second that happens all you get is inflation and that helps nobody other than people who think "chart up and to the right == OK". Points are planning tools. That's it. No company metrics, board level metrics, bonuses, performance evaluations, etc should be measured on team or individual point velocity ever. Period.

You DO need to measure the teams output and the way to do that is to measure two things at once. You need to measure the deployment frequency AND the quality of the application at the same time. Report your deployment frequency and uptime together in one page if you have to. Evaluate teams based on team output. Evaluate individuals based on known criteria - the least of which will be coding.
Problem-Based Learning
I see this line of thinking frequently, especially in modern politics, and it always fascinates me. I can get people to agree that the system is messed up because it is a race to the bottom. I can get people to agree that someone needs to draw a line in the sand for it to stop. I can get most people to agree that sacrificing moral values in an effort to win results in a hollow victory (and encourages the race to the bottom). But the interesting part is that my opinion that one needs to hold their own tribe accountable for sacrificing morals is extremely controversial. Yet I see it as logically following from the above.

I think this is why we can see people gladly vote for those that they very much disagree with. I think this is why attacking someone's tribal leader makes them double down and strengthens their convictions rather than changing belief. I think the question is how to get people to realize that you have to fight fair to get others to fight you back with fairness.

TensorFlow can run on any JVM for building, training and running machine learning models. They have created recently https://github.com/tensorflow/java

PyTorch also supports inference on the JVM but you still need to train with Python. https://www.infoq.com/news/2020/02/pytorch-releases-java-bin...

I think something like Scala will be used in the future instead of Python even for prototyping.

The article doesn't say it, but there are some drugs that need processing, by the cytochrome P450 or the CYP3A4 pathway that grapefruit knocks out, in order to become active. Those drugs will lose their effect. Also, the same process may be part of the pathway that removes the precursor chemicals from the bloodstream, so those build up, potentially to toxic levels; you get the overdose without even the dose.

Once, in Switzerland, I found a Lindt chocolate bar with dried grapefruit in it. I have never been able to find another.
I wonder now if there are regulations about grapefruit ingredients in some countries.

But I really love grapefruit. Haribo makes yellow and pink grapefruit gummi candy that is getting hard to find. I would really like to know if they have fouranocoumarins in them, but don't know of any way to find out.
Yes, this is the real danger of "AI" - ignorant people using it to control society thinking the AI is the "best" at everything and fair, not that the AI will become "self-aware" and destroy us.

Humans that control very powerful "AI" are much more dangerous, especially when they wrongly believe the AI's algorithms are flawless or even "much better than a human"(which a lot of people do when they get caught up in the AI hype).

I'd take my financial experience as a college dropout software engineer over that of a doctor or lawyer any day. I get to spend my 20's debt free and mega rich (by young adult standards), and I've been able to save most of my considerable income. I think the average doctor's net worth might surpass mine in their late 30's, and would certainly accelerate beyond what I could ever keep up with. But so what? I get to spend an entire life never stressing about money once, while they have to stress over student debt for 15-20 years.

My "prospects after 10 years of development" are going to be "figuring out what to do now that my house is paid off and I don't need to make half as much as I do anymore". Compare those to a doctor's prospects after 10 years of college: "Time to start making money for the first time!"

Right, if they continue to do things short of code (when required, etc) they'd lose their license. They have to work within the confines of the code, where applicable.

Software engineers will certainly lose their job if they don't ship code to standards set by the company they work for. Someone writing code for an airplane is going to have a different type of standard than someone writing code for video game, however.

Why would it make sense for a government agency to set a code for software? It literally makes no sense as different problems have different requirements.

A flat tax simply eliminates tax brackets; usually the upper one is one that goes. It's entirely possible to have a flat tax system with an incredibly complex and irrational set of deductions, just as it's possible to have a progressive tax system with zero deductions.

As for Winters' book, which I haven't read, it sounds like a more pessimistic version of Olson's Power and Prosperity, which essentially argued that all forms of security arrangement involved those with power extracting money from people, but kings had less incentive to pillage and more incentive to protect than bandits, and democracies more interest in using extracted wealth for public benefit than kings. I doubt Winter would disagree with my characterisation of campaigns for flat taxes as being one of oligarchs' wealth defence strategies in a democracy.

Some Thoughts about Writing
The PS4Pro was also a single pcb as well (I recently took mine apart to replace the OEM fan with a much much much quieter one).
As an American, I'm unfamiliar with any of the American protests this summer being characterized as "pro-Democracy" by any side in the various debates. Especially in the case of the BLM protests, no one is opposed to democracy nor does anyone support police brutality: the key question is whether we have a police violence problem or a police racism problem.

BLM critics point out that crime rates predict the entire disparity in police killings and then some, and they also note many heinous killings of white Americans by police (about which the media are loathe to report). So far, I'm unaware of any popular answer to these criticisms, and the media rarely if ever address these criticisms in the first place. It's hard for Americans to watch their cities burn against the backdrop as yet another journalists dutifully reports on "another night of mostly peaceful protests" for a dubious premise. Contra TFA, I don't think it's any dearth of strategy that renders BLM (relatively) ineffectual so much as it is an inability or unwillingness to address relatively straightforward criticisms.

Similarly, with respect to the Women's March, the only policy proposals I'm aware of revolved around walking back due process rights, which also doesn't strike me as particularly democratic. Here again it's not a lack of strategy but a lack of a persuasive objective that rendered the movement relatively ineffectual.

Code with no _unit tests_ or _code reviews_ possibly, it was obviously tested by the scientists that it made somewhat sensible and self-consistent predictions.

In addition, predictions by earlier versions of the code had been peer reviewed, which is about as good as it gets outside of computer science.

The report itself wasn't formally peer reviewed either, though in the crisis mentality of March this year not many people had the patience for peer review. Frankly, most still don't if you consider the amount of news about unreviewed science that get published.
