I don't think so, I've heard the adage "taxes are paid where the money is made" (and Nevada has no income tax).

I think the reason for a Delaware or Nevada LLC is on the registration fees, the organization aspect; the governance of the LLC -- it's easier to run, less regulation. Typically there's no way out of the taxes, because if your home state has taxes, they'll find a way to make you pay.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by modularizing licenses, but I'd bet I'm probably for it.

All of the 1.0.0 PolyForm licenses are built from a common template. A lot of the language is completely common across forms. Diffs are fairly clean.

At the same time, we're starting to hear that some of the mechanisms for that modularity, like the concept of "permitted purpose", make reading individual licenses harder than could be. If/when we get around to 2.0.0s, I expect we'll probably individualize the terms more.

If you're interested in modularity for building licenses that haven't been implemented yet, I'll plug a project of mine: https://github.com/berneout/normally-open-closed These are essentially templates with blank spots for what you are or are not allowing.

The standardization-customization trade-off applies as usual. The point is to help people who actually need new license terms to focus on the terms that are actually new, rather than the legal rigging. Think "license framework" or "license starter".

By the by, I'm affiliated with PolyForm, but don't speak for the org as a whole here. Diversity of views and opinions is one of our strengths, though it has slowed us down from time to time.
Jira is amongst the most popular workflow / ticketing systems. Probably number one. Bitbucket is top 3 git hosts. Confluence is one of the best wiki/knowledge base products. They also have some other products I’m less familiar with... but they are pretty big.
Perhaps they're not in the standard library, but they're readily available on Boost, POCO and many other well known mature libraries.

Check the Boost C++ string algorithms library.

This is kind of fascinating to think about from an evolutionary perspective: Does it pay off more to have truly exceptional individuals that can outperform everyone else at times, but may be lost due to risk taking - or - is it better to have people that can perform consistently at a very high level?
Makes sense. You're an employee. If you were a contractor they wouldn't have to do that stuff and you'd get taxed at a weird rate and have to report it yourself. But you'd have to actually be a contractor for that, if you're truly an employee then it is what it is.

So it sounds like the workaround is that said MA company has to start a NH foreign entity, which I assume is all but free, and have that foreign entity pay the employees. That way they're "working remote" for a NH entity and sidestep all this nonsense.

But it's fair to say... why bother, just go back to using the rules you clearly understood to be fair which you were using earlier this year.
NY already does this. It’s called the telecommuter tax.

> I've spent a whole lot of time thinking about norms and observing their observance, enforcement, and what kinds of circumstances they tend to be disregarded. I've read a lot of the lit, too, thank you.

Then I hope you've noticed that there are instances in society where "Saying thank you and giving credit to someone who did you a solid" is not the norm.

> So is refusing to acknowledge the existence of norms because some people refuse to acknowledge them.

We are in agreement here.

> Whinging that someone broke norm A [e.g. seemed ungrateful] and thinking less of people/entities that you've heard have done the same is pretty cheap and isn't likely to earn you value judgments yourself.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here. This sounds precisely what people are doing: Whining that Amazon seemed ungrateful and thinking less of people who do likewise. Which is orthogonal to what I'm saying.
Yeah I have like 6 perfectly good laptops sitting around. Its all about the time it takes to upgrade them to the latest OS and drivers. Pain

If someone could make a program that “just does it” for you. It would make reusing old laptops of various configurations viable.
Taking your boot off the patient’s windpipe might not heal her, but everything else you try is going to work better if she can breathe.
Without finishing, but just reacting to her _reacting_ to his refusal to admit an "office crush", to me, uneducated in this subject:

what is a crush, an affection about one thing about someone? many things? i might crush on many people, but i'm aware that these are just infatuations with a new thing. it happens with books and hobbies and etc, too

so he had a cool coworker of the opposite sex. is there a "crush scale"? maybe you round down if the crush doesn't entertain future-fantasies, heh
It's not really comparable to VBA, as it's not used to automate/script the Excel object model. There is a JavaScript scripting model in recent releases which at least overlaps in use cases with VBA but I'm not sure if you can use it to do everything that VBA can.
This story about the committees fixing Stroustrup's "mistakes" is completely made up from you and is not even remotely true. Also Stroustrup does _not_ take pride in how big the language is, the exact opposite is true. E.g. you will never ever hear Stroustrup speaking about template meta programming or similar weird stuff. He always tries to teach the practical side of C++. His C++ book is not big because the language is complex, but because it is a genral introduction into programming with C++. In fact, if you want to learn the esoteric features of C++, you have to buy other books.
Implicit type conversions are inherited from C, the language you called "awesome". Many arcane features of C are nowadays considered as anachronisms and no modern designed language would repeat them.
It's kind of depressing seeing how much even leaders just blatantly copy each other quotes.
God bless anyone with a family member who is mentally ill. That said, the situation described in the article is completely toxic and almost assuredly fraudulent. Which would be par for a sociopath.

And despite what the author implies, a hallmark of a sociopath is a lack of any genuine awareness that they are a sociopath. So it is safe to assume the “admission” is just another manipulation.
I mean, it's even more weird than you said. It's not impossible that Foo(int) and (int)Foo or int g = foo do completely different things. Foo could define an `operator int` that terminates the program, or does any damn thing.

Read the whole comment. I said:

> ... and that's ignoring that we were worried about running out of hospital capacity.

Anyways--

> 10% less hospital stay, means 10% more patients able to get help.

This isn't true. It's only true at steady state, but if there's an exponential process you get a smaller benefit. (E.g. take the ridiculous case that 100% of patients show up on one day-- obviously a shorter stay doesn't improve the number you treat in that case).
I would risk to mention Tcl as a good candidate, which might be unfair because the language is designed for strings.

split "foo.bar" .
=> foo bar
Yeah, exactly. I have no problem paying income taxes in the state I earn money in. I would have a problem having a precedent that I would need to file income taxes from the five different states my clients live in.

But that doesn't sound like the case here, I wouldn't be an employee which seems to be the entirety of this cash grab's justification.
> It just seems pointless when you can run the exact software in the web browser

This isn’t necessarily true though. Electron gives you file system access (among other things). Most electron apps I’ve used at least do something that a browser cannot do. Though definitely not all.

Also, being able to alt/cmd + tab to they application you want is often convenient.
I remember a time where Windows Media Player would sometimes do video playback by just drawing a very specific "close-to-black" RGB color in it's window and then let the hardware impose the decoded video on to that part of the screen with that color. I could then open up MS Paint and draw my own custom shaped "window" into my video playback with that color by laying it on top of the WMP window.
Reading this I thought that without the same emotional cues and such different experiences, I imagine for a sociopath it must take a great deal of discipline and reflection to operate in such a close relationship with another person.

Then I remembered, it kinda does anyway...

Side note: I have enjoyed reading Modern Love on NYTimes, but there are times (perhaps with this one, and others for sure) where I feel topics or stories are packaged a bit too cutely, to easily and poetically to be real. For short stories Modern Love can be a surprisingly deep and touching, but other times it feels like ... just stories polished up too much for the sake of the story. At times I feel like I can sense the writer ignoring or hand waving other things.
This is a bit dated, but some states have pledged not to tax telecommuters working in different states during the pandemic, but others like NY and CA are being fairly aggressive about taxing them:

How is a "canary" script that simulates user interactions with a page different than something like selenium/splinter? Is it just the ux of accomplishing it via recorded actions, or something more?
"please update" is kinda the "try restarting" equivalent for sysadmins. And people get angry because it is usually delivered in a "I have no idea if it will work" kinda way.
All you would have to do to make people calmly accept that they need to update is explaining why, so you know do the minimum and search the issue tracker so you can tell them that this is actually a known problem that was fixed in version x.y.z and updating will fix the problem.
I had a friend who lived in NH and worked in MA. He said he kept a detailed diary down to the minute of when he was working in each state. He said it was worth the overheard because of all the MA taxes he didn't have to pay.
>In other words type casting can be written as (foo)2 or as foo(2). Just to make it harder to understand what is going on.

Or to make it easy to describe high-level behavior where you don't care about the details. In your example, foo and bar could be some complex vector or matrix types with custom allocation/deallocation logic.

So this line:

int x = foo(2) + bar(3);

Is an equivalent of 7 lines in Plain C:

foo tmp_foo;
bar tmp_bar;
construct_foo_from_int(&tmp_foo, 2);
construct_bar_from_int(&tmp_bar, 3);
int x = add_foo_and_bar(&tmp_foo, &tmp_bar);
free_foo(&tmp_foo);
free_bar(&tmp_bar);

Sure, if you don't know what foo and bar are, it's confusing. But if you want to decompose what you are doing from how you are doing it, this syntax rocks.

BTW, (foo)2 syntax is preserved for backward compatibility with C and is deprecated in favor of static/dynamic/reinterpret_cast<>() (that many people don't use due to clunkiness) and foo(2) is unavoidable if foo's constructor has more than 1 argument.
Usually used by local sheriff auxiliary air squadrons....San Francisco has one....civilian plane owners volunteering to assist LE....
Firefox uses the GPU via WebRender[0]. I don't know what specific things it's used for, but I'm pretty sure it's not any of the DOM parsing. The GPU is used for the actual graphical rendering down the line -- compositing and such[1].

Depends on the person. In general American parlance you may “have a crush” as a teenager, and want to ask them to be your boyfriend/girlfriend. Some people use it to refer to someone that they have unexpressed desires for throughout their life.

Other people use the term similar to your usage where it is much more general. Communicative partners may say they have a crush on someone else with the implication that they would never act on it.
I would rather spend a tiny bit more and not have to deal with that Enormous hassle. Each of those parts has to be shipped separately and has a chance to be defective. Also the new laptop will have a 1-3 year warranty

There are a lot of HN posts about people trying MDMA one time and having a life changing discovery about themselves.

This author says, "My lack of emotion and empathy", and "my insincerity, emotional poverty, absence of shame and guilt, and reduced empathic response".

I wonder what one dose of MDMA would allow her to experience?

Or possibly be a candidate for an MDMA research study.
Yes, I agree with you in Pandas' case. However, for other libraries, a good chunk of the run time comes from reading the parquet files and concatenating the partial datasets. Pandas and Spark are particularly really good with reading a directory of 12 Parquet files with no noticeable performance penalty.
At least in MA, if I have no physical presence and made no revenue here I wouldn't have to register as a foreign corporation. I know that for sure. I hope it's similar for other states...

Wasn't there a big deal about amazon avoiding even paying sales tax when shipping goods to a state that they didn't have a physical presence in?

I have been assuming that providing a service to a client in another state while in MA would just be taxed in MA, the IRS certainly knows all about it but I don't know what business the other state would have given that I have no physical presence there.
Any software where you will need to develop serious things for will suck.

Almost nobody feels miserable in languages like python because they rarely have to deal with the ugly stuff or having people depending their lives on it. Thats the 50% of the fun writing in it, because you will deal mostly with the cool things, and who would not like the language that gives you that kind of pleasure?

And the languages that are used for this kind of stuff will suck somehow, because its hard to make things right on them, it requires a lot of discipline and you will have to deal with big codebases, in big teams.. so the things gets much harder to do right.

The guy that is chearing Rust today, is the guy that will complain 10 years from now, how Rust sucks, because he have to deal with it everyday in its big avionics codebase and any mistake can cost million of dollars or peoples lives.

Its psychology. We need the shiny new thing to give more meaning to our lives. It will never stop, but with time you learn to navigate over it a little better.

There is very little change in languages now, and once someone does a real paradigm shift, it will be impossible to ignore.
Does AWS have a policy of directly funding existing upstream developers/maintainers of projects you are using?
Combining PolyForm licenses is certainly possible for many projects. For example, at least in my mind, Noncommercial and Free Trial kind of want to work together, for a pretty common use case.

Folks involved in drafting certainly thought about multi-licensing. That said, neither I nor PolyForm Project have fully vetted all combinations. The easy "out" is "talk to a lawyer", to make sure you avoid any footguns. But I not so secretly hope the licenses are easy enough to read, without legal help, for diligent folks to work through implications themselves.

Your only positive statements in that whole thing were "I think a job as a quant or something at a finance firm would be interesting" and "I'd really like to consider starting my own business".

You've got your answer right there. Go make it happen.
Yeah, personally I just registered my LLC in Massachusetts since it was simpler. So I don't have to deal with that but I'm familiar with it from other startups I've done.
That is absolutely right. By honing the drug to the tumor, and minimizing the effects on the rest of the body, you are essentially able to unlock power on the tumor that would have put the patient's life at risk before.
Taken it even a step further, if you have a system that selectively gets the drug to the tumor, then you can give combinations of cancer drugs that would be otherwise lethal, also preventing the possibility of mutations that would make the tumor unaffected by a single drug. The possibilities are immense.

To address some of these problems, I have created a Excel add-in[1]. It checks errors in formulas, facilitates easy navigation of formulas. One can even create drill down reports from formula.

So incredibly myopic. Atlasssian is "innovating" themselves into snatching failure from the jaws of success. Self-hosting has huge advantages in enterprise and secure environments. They're just throwing away key large customers, forcing them to share what could be confidential data on random cloud systems customers they don't own, and limiting customizations, integrations, confidentiality, scalability, and data protection.

And, there are now plenty of other self-hosted options to their bloated JVM, resource-hungry apps.

They just committed seppuku in many less-visible, but nonetheless important, use-cases in the enterprise space. What a shame.

I’m assuming you meant “emotional cues.” Normally I wouldn’t correct something like that but I kept reading and re-reading your comment with the assumption that an “emotional queue” was a kind of metaphor that might make sense in the context of a sociopath.
You probably can since the portal just uses the same APIs. Azure also has a CLI: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/

All 3 major clouds have their own idiosyncrasies. They're all good and bad at different things and I don't find any single one to be definitely better or worse than the rest.
This is nice to hear.

Regarding "giving back" by a company like Amazon, we often talk about the problem of open source maintenance being thankless and difficult due to time commitment and lack of compensation, etc. Personally I don't think direct $$ compensation is the answer, but how about a policy that, for example, dedicated X number of developer hours to the main branch? As in, Amazon tasks a few developers to each give 10 hours of time in direct collaboration with the maintainer(s) to perform tasks the maintainers may have in their queue. That way "giving back" for a project you use is specific and alleviats some of the burden of running a project for exactly those projects from which Amazon benefits.
If you attempt to commit fraud, but are really shitty at it and bumble the attempt - I don't think that that makes it any more morally benign.

The emails [0] show pretty clear strategizing with Clinton campaign staff over preparing answers to the exact questions being proposed at the CNN town hall. That the CNN town hall ultimately chose to go with similar questions worded slightly differently does not in some way absolve the Clinton campaign.

TBH, in that scenario, AWS are usually growing the market for X such that the share of the market for X taken by the X developers probably increases after AWS joins the market for X.
Thank you, I get that one wrong all the time. It was entirely my mistake, and not a mysterious psychological phenomenon ;)
This actually is a big issue. If you have an employee in a particular state, as a company you are now considered to have a presence in that state and would now be required to pay sales tax on sales to customers in that state (I think this used to be only sales people, but now is any employee).

There are a decent number of companies that will let employees work from no-sales-tax states (FL, TX, NV, NH etc) without question, but for other states, if they do much business there but don't already have a "presence" there, then they'll have to start paying sales tax to that state on any business they do there.
Relative is in HR at a big4, this is basically correct. Some ballpark numbers.

A "first year" partner may have to pay ~$150,000 into the partnership, on perhaps a $300,000ish a year in profit sharing. Usually this is just a reduction in the profit sharing (or perhaps a multi year loan, i forget). Its not uncommon to earn less as a first year partner than your last year as Managing Director.
You are not longer an employee, but part owner. You move onto a totally separate HR system (Benefits, etc.).

Relative works with mostly senior partners, multiple of them are making $1 million+ a year. That's not common, but as you move up the ranks of partnership, that's not a crazy salary. They work a lot, are all divorced, don't seem to even have time to enjoy the $$ etc. Listening to the details, I'm not super jealous.

I personally wish the post or title construct “No, X” would disappear. It instantly takes me from totally neutral or ignorant to a slight but perceptible bias of “Why yes, X is probably true”. Then the schoolmarmish tone turns me off from reading the content to correct my notion. All I’m left with, for certain, is the perception that the article was written by someone I will not trust.
