"saying the tax is modest in comparison to the cost of moving a business."

Basically admitting that the thought process is charging as much taxes as you can possible get away with.
See, a general problem I see with IPv6 and all the protocols around is their enormous complexity. As a hobbyist in the last decades, you could learn about IPv4 and DHCP in a couple of afternoons. It was simple the same way as HTTP1 was simple compared with HTTP2. Complexity means the learning curve is enormous and in the end only a fraction of experts will understand.

That's not really the real internet, though. How much did you learn about MPLS and BGP and ISIS from working at home as a hobbyist? I didn't know much of anything about that stuff before I started programming routers and switches (real switches - like the ones your ISP uses).

IPv6 is so ridiculously similar to IPv4, it's a bit funny reading about people complaining about how different they are. Seriously - go to wikipedia and read about something like ATM and how crazy different that is. Compared to the stuff you actually need to know and should know about if you're a network admin, IPv6 is easy-peasy.
And therein lies the crux of the issue:

> It doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the activities. But if you’re vested in being the best or even notable, you’re now competing on a global scale rather than just your town.

So true, and all this becomes sinister when you begin to realize that ‘enjoyment’ comes in many flavors - and lot of enjoyment comes from sharing with others. So when other people say (not you I don’t think), “well you can do X just for the love of doing X,” they miss out on is the response, ‘well yeah, but I want to share it with you, too!’
Why are you citing a year+ old article? It's clearly out of date. iOS is a much more secure platform, and exploits are much rarer than Android exploits.

That'd probably make the price of bitcoin to go up but if they would do that they probably could get sued?
No messenger shooting, I promise. :)

I don't believe that's correct because IPv6 could have time-multiplexed ports, too, which would vastly extend the IPv6 space if the podcaster wants to compare apples to apples.
What kind of SSD would be small? Those with a M.2 slot? Or there are actually small form factor SATA cable SSD's?
Either way, you would need an extra USB adapter I guess.

EDIT: Regarding the heat sink, with the numbers some reviewers have shown shouldn't there be enough material to shed and still having it working fine overclocked? Granted, you lose the very well designed heat sink, but that's part of the hacking. It was not meant to work that way.
> SpiderBasic is a compiler which generates optimized JavaScript, which needs a modern browser to run

What's old is new again. Earlier versions of Internet Explorer worked with Visual Basic Script. You enclosed Visual Basic within a script tag and a language attribute of "VBScript". It did not transpile to Javascript, however.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VBScript

As I recall, you could debug VBScript by attaching a running IE process to VisualStudio. Breakpoints, instruction stepping, etc.

That was light years ahead of Javascript debugging. Of course, later FireBug and DevTools changed that.

But the original intent of the script tag was to be language agnostic.
Currently that's where their Rust plugin runs. I could see them breaking it out into its own editor like they have with GoLand.
I wonder: could 'Individual X' be DEA agent Carl Force (previously sentenced to prison), Secret Service agent Shaun Bridges (previously sentenced to prison), or some other government agent or informant who had tried to enrich themselves via the investigation?

'Which companies' does this rule apply to? Companies that have HQ in SF? That's rather an easy thing to change, no? 'Majority of Employees'?

What if the CEO has 'an office' in South Bay but spends their time in the city?

This seems like the wrong tranche of government to be flirting with such a law.
that was my reaction too. I don't live in the US, so this is an honest question. Most of the comments here are disparaging about the policy. Is that because:

1. you agree with the principle of addressing wealth polarisation, but don't agree with tax as the mechanism? (in general or the proposed model specifically)

2. you don't agree that increasing wealth polarisation needs to be stopped/reversed?

3. something else?

Thanks.

My IntelliJ tips:

- exclude folders from indexing

- disable unused plugins

- install a theme like Nord

- setup debugging

- make sure you can run unit tests from the IDE

- add JSdoc tags so that IntelliJ can detect type mismatches.

- setup scopes in your project view to show only the files that you are working on.

And these are my personal preferences:

- Disable smooth scrolling

- Disable animations

- Disable code folding

- Hide status bar, navigation bar, toolbar. If you need something use the actions menu... Ctrl (or Cmd) Shift A.

Vincente Zambada was charged with trafficking more than a billion dollars' worth of cocaine and heroin. In a 2013 plea bargain deal which was made public by a U.S. District Court in 2014, Zambada admitted coordinating smuggling tons of cocaine and heroin with "El Chapo," Joaquín Guzmán Loera, and agreed to forfeit assets of $1.37 billion to the US government. The plea bargain resulted in a fine of $4 million and 15 years in prison. He is considered a top potential witness against "El Chapo

To add onto this - I'm a huge org-mode user. If you're on iOS I highly recommend BeOrg[1]. It's the best org-mode app for iphones. It's highly extensible on it's own since you can put in settings and run scheme in a config file[2].

You can purchase extensions for it which are all pretty cheap. You can also pay for a membership to get all extensions - this costs only $10 a year.

The creator of the app is very active in the forums and is constantly updating and improving the app. I love it and it has made my usage of org-mode on the go much easier.

At one point I thought it died permanently. But it turned out to only be the screen dimming to much. In bright light it auto adjusted enough to be visible, allowing me to rise the brightness.
When I first heard of these text-based raster image formats, I was surprised at both their inefficiency and seemingly widespread use (outside of PCs), especially given their age.

My go-to for uncompressed bitmaps is BMP, also trivial to read and write, and is easy to manipulate the image in memory with indexing operations.
Amazon MQ supports ActiveMQ (AMQP1.0) and RabbitMQ (AMQP 0.9.1), so take your pick.
I taught computer programming in a high school for a year. We used pure basic in the class, mainly for it's great support for making games easy. This was all on desktop PCs and pure basic "just worked". I never had a compiler or other technical problem. The kids loved making sprite based 2d games with it. The debugging utilities were more than sufficient. Thanks to the pure basic team for the couple dozen students they helped to educate!

> No, it's not.

Apparently it is if we are still having this conversation after "TWENTY YEARS".

Is there a particular reason that every aspect of your comment is toned with subversive rudeness and you made zero actual good points? Making snide comments about being "old" or how I "should've listened" and "no one is going to feel bad" really doesn't help anyone understand why IPv6 is all that great.

> Come up with some better complaints, please.

The author already listed several frustrations with the protocol. Feel free to read the article again if you'd like some examples.

Twenty years of poor adoption world-wide demonstrates its lack of easy integration. I don't need to argue this, you just did.

Also, mentioning dynamic DNS services at all in regards to trying to send an IP address to someone is yet another point to support why IPv6 is not an intuitive protocol to work with, even for something as simple as setting up a gaming server with a few friends.
Covert bribery is definitely frowned upon. Overt bribery - hiring lobbyists, event sponsorships, regulatory capture, etc - is very popular, I'd even say it's more so than in other countries.

Well, they could decide to burn the collected tax money while achieving this same goal.
> Pretty big claim to say it's cheaper when, as of now, they haven't produced or sold a single truck.

They've taken pre-orders and accepted cash, it's a contract. Tesla will sell those trucks for the announced prices.

Even using $38k as the base price of the Model 3[1], it is still a good value compared to competing electric vehicles which tend to have much lower ranges, slower charging networks, and worse performance. The Model Y competitors are also generally more expensive and have lower ranges.

They are still a bit pricy compared to non-EVs, but compared to other EVs, Teslas are not priced at a premium. If you value performance, the gap is even more significant.

> I guess it works though, because every time a competitor puts an EV truck out there, someone inevitably claims that the Cybertruck is cheaper.

It works because as I mention above, Tesla has a track record of delivering decent value. It is extremely fair to say Tesla vehicles are often behind schedule, but their pricing (again compared to other EVs) is usually extremely competitive.

[1] It was possible for quite a while to get a Model 3 for $35k, it was just a little tricky without a pre-order.
A more relevant example is escaping a country in chaos with your wealth intact. Exactly like how people have done when they left Venezuela, using Bitcoin to bypass the border control.
I promise you, people inside google are equally frustrated with this unjustifiable top-down decision. (am Xoogler)
A large part of the distinctive EV design is to increase their value for signalling. There has been at least one study where they compared Prius sales to Honda (Civic?) Hybrid sales by geographical area, and correlated it with politics. In more 'green' areas, the Priuses sold much better, whereas in other areas, both cars had similar sales. The take-away was to make the hybrids and EVs look different, to encourage conspicuous consumption.

There have been many very aerodynamic conventionally contoured gasoline powered cars, including one of my favorites, the Mazda MX-6 Mystere.
SQS also supports FIFO queues, which have once-only delivery and ordering. Any reason those didn't work for you?
> More people have lost money to Bitcoin scams and exchange fraud (see e.g. Mt Gox) than have lost their money to civil forfeiture.

Can you please back this statement up with some citations for this? I'd be hugely surprised if the number of victims, or even the USD value, of BTC related fraud or foolishness outnumbered state sanctioned theft in the USA, considering how lucrative the theft is for the state, without any need for laundering the ill-gained funds either.

At the same time, it would be remarkable if more people lost money, or more money was lost, in BTC than through civil forfeiture, and possibly an ironic statement that exploiting foolishness is the quickest way to riches, rather than deploying state sanctioned violence.
Maybe if San Francisco did things differently, costs might look like other cities and counties in the Bay Area. Either way, it's going to be much more expensive than your typical city.
I thought the point of the submission was a joke highlighting that Gitlab is open source.
Nothing there about "Individual X" being Ross Ulbritcht
State law prohibits local governments from using progressive income taxes <https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio....>. San Francisco therefore uses a combination of gross receipts taxes (whose rates vary depending on business NAICS industry code and are graduated), payroll taxes (now repealed), real estate transfer taxes, sales taxes, and parcel taxes.

In my opinion, the state legislature should amend RTC 17041.5 to allow local income taxes, but only on rent, imputed rent, and capital gains within the city. Rents are the thing that local governments can tax without distorting the market.

As for this performative CEO tax, I think that the only positive effect that it will have, if any, would be to raise awareness of an issue whose solution has to come at the national and state level.
as a lib arts major, this speaks to me. I think the biggest thing that's helped me in my career is simply being exposed to things besides computing fundamentals.

>If you make a good movie denouncing dog mistreatment, that is good. The fact it may sexually excite some people mistreating dogs is not really relevant...

You've missed the point. If you kill puppies to make a movie denouncing dog mistreatment, the puppies are dead.

If you exploit children to make a movie denouncing exploiting children, the children are still exploited.

It has nothing to do with the subjective reception of the film at all.

Specifically to this point, the actresses that played the young girls in the film all auditioned in front of the director, doing the sexually explicit dances behind closed doors, along with many others that didn't get the part. The creator of the film was a victim of sexual exploitation like this at a younger age.

Additionally, it is very common for victims of various traumas to inflict those traumas on others, and it's also common for them to be in denial about their motives for victimizing new victims in the same way they were victimized themselves.
Lehman was an investment bank, not a commercial bank. Commercial banks aren't allowed to go into crazy leverage like Lehman did.

Not even remotely the same thing. Lehmann Bros was an investment bank, meaning that the value of accounts was tied to the value of the securities investments contained therein, and Lehmann engaged in trading activity on behalf of those account holders. (And note: by 2013, all of Lehman's account holders had been made whole for their losses https://www.ft.com/content/f06762de-cf94-11e2-a050-00144feab...)

It pains me to say, but I would not recommend an AMD card at the moment, at least if you plan on running Vulkan on Windows. The problem is with add-ons, they still run under OpenGL (because that's what the SDK provides and by now there is an insane amount of plugins relying on it), so X-Plane exports some of its render surfaces to OpenGL and let's plugins run normal GL code on it, while under the hood synchronizing the two worlds.

The problem is that the AMD driver has a bug with scheduling mixed workloads. Sometimes the GL side gets to execute first, sometimes follow up Vulkan work executes first. This leads to incorrectly composited rendering and really annoying flickering. And despite trying to have this fixed for over a year and many many emails with AMD engineers, we are nowhere near close to a fix for this. We are at the point where we are even considering integrating Zink just so we can ship an enjoyable add on experience to users.

Not every user has that problem, it depends on the hardware and software that runs (ie a very classic race condition). But I can't in good conscience recommend AMD over Nvidia here. And I hate that, because the Big Navi cards look amazing.
Homeless services takes a big cut.
PPM is especially useful for fractals because, as an optionally text-based format, the max brightness of any pixel is arbitrary. This means you can have unlimited color depth, something that's really useful when you want to do things like brighten up _really_ dim areas of an image, areas that would be aliased to 0 if represented with only 24 bit color (like in PNG). This was really useful for a toy buddhabrot renderer I wrote a while back:

I've seen auto-generated passwords break bash and powershell alike. Please include a way to bind variables to something not parsed as process arguments - such as a pointer to a env var, Azure KeyVault key, AWS SSM key or just the raw contents of a file.

Watch out for template expansion hell. Azure DevOps provide multiple types of variable expansion: macro, template expression and runtime - this helps but has it's own limits.

Also I found arg forwarding with '-' with node cli tools

Pretty much anyone who has $1B has a vast amount of institutional power too. They own the means of production, or they have deep connections in business and government. Those are the things that keep you out of jail.

Having a BTC wallet is one of the only ways to have a billion dollars and zero institutional power, so the money is little help here. The US government is also heavily incentivized to come down hard on these sorts of people because they’re threatening the dominance of the US dollar.
At the best case scenario, google has a monopoly on scraping. Imagine trying to create a global search engine, how can you possibly even crawl sites that are behind cloudflare or just allow google/fb/bing bots ?

Can you real-time crawl twitter ? Pretty sure they have a special deal with google to instant ping on new tweets.

How many websites actually ping google on new content ?

While the “if you’re not paying you’re the product” statement is still true, Microsoft’s motive can be more grand, ie. dethrone Google Analytics, as a business objective and less so about collecting usage data.

Functionally, iOS is a much more secure platform. Far more people are updated to the latest iOS version, which makes a huge difference. Apple invests tons of money into secure biometrics, privacy initiatives, and lots more.

At the same time, Android might still have fewer vulnerabilities in the latest versions. It's possible that Android's security technology or coding practices result in fewer security bugs. I don't think that Android has any attack surface equivalent to iMessage (which is written in Objective-C and uses some fairly low-level techniques, if I remember correctly).

A lot fewer people use the latest version of Android, though, so most of that effort goes to waste.
Just looked at it and I like that "All features work without JavaScript" is listed as a pro.

> Right, but political campaigns have their own polling organizations.

“Internal” polls are polls that the campaign has contracted a polling organization, quite often an organization that does its own (or is contracted by media outlets to do) public polling, as well.

Political campaigns are comparatively ephemeral, they don't have time to build polling organizations from scratch.
Simply starting a credible project to do their own could have cause Microsoft to soften its terms.

As for a different version of BASIC, nothing stopped Apple from making a work-a-like BASIC. After all, that's how the Compaq was made, and plenty of other work-a-likes.

From a modern point of view, the software in those days looks pretty simple. I'm surprised there weren't a lot more clones.
It's funny/sad that people act like "redistribution of wealth" is a scary concept. Wealth is constantly being redistributed by commerce, and mostly it is being redistributed to the people with the biggest piles already. Overpricing products, underpaying workers, lotteries, taxes, rents, and investor/borrower arrangements are all mechanisms to shift wealth around.
Apple isn't going to force you to update your device, so you can stay on an older version if you want jailbreaks.
Our company recently "graduated" from Intercom's early-stage program. Intercom is a mediocre product but their pricing does not make sense whatsoever. I exchanged about 20 emails (while being very slow) with their account rep only to find out even they don't understand their own pricing.

Here's some hot mess that's going on:

* They A/B test their pricing page with completely different models. I've seen at least 3 different versions.
* They charge by "active users" over last 90 days. A person is considered active if they've logged in to the site or was sent an email.
* The pricing for products and add-ons are all over the place. In some places, they have an add-on listed as $199 (Product Tour) while others places have it as $119.
* They try different "bundle" packages but yet it's impossible to tell what products or add-ons are actually included in each.

With policies like this, why would anyone in their right mind (I say this as a staunch progressive) start a business in SF or even consider traveling to the Bay Area for the benefits of huge equity packages? Even if you choose to willingly ignore that CA state taxes are also increasing substantially.

I hate to say it, but when you do things like this to Big Business TM it DOES have trickle down effects that negatively affect small business owners and business services alike.
