> In every sane tax system, donations (even loans with lower than usual interest rates) are taxed just like inheritance.

But it's not donations at all. It's, you vouch for this person with a customer who trusts you and correspondingly awards them a billion dollar contract. You take them on as a customer or supplier in a business with 4% margins, so that a 4% difference here and there on what prices you negotiate with them can shift ~100% of your profits to them. You teach them trade secrets that only successful companies in that line of business are privy to.

There are a thousand ways to do it that don't show up on any tax form, and trying to exclude some only causes people to invent new ones.

The real way to fix it is to make it easier for newcomers to compete with the incumbents so the incumbent companies fail or maintain thin margins and new ones are created at a fast enough rate that it's rare for them to exist at a large scale for generations on end to enable the long-term accumulation of capital.
It can be _mostly_ fulfilling if you find a good team and a compelling project. Too often work is a chore due to the emotional labour necessary to work with toxic people on a dreary project.

I don't see a reason why this shouldn't be possible. That's what most sites use, anyway. I guess it's related to Google being able to track usage of these fonts.

G-Research | Open Source Engineer, Apache Ozone | Full-time / Part-time / Contract | REMOTE | gresearch.co.uk

G-Research's open-source program office is looking for engineers to contribute to the Apache Ozone project.

If you're well-versed in HDFS and are passionate about creating the next generation of distributed object store for the Hadoop ecosystem, we'd love to talk. If direct HDFS experience isn't in your thing, a strong, demonstrable history of building distributed systems and fundamental file systems knowledge can substitute.

Our contributions will be completely upstream, public, and open source -- directly on the Ozone project. You must be comfortable working in the open and collaborating with others in this kind of large, complicated project. It certainly helps if you're already an advocate of open source technology and have a track record of working in the open.

Our open source program is a fully distributed team and will continue to be after COVID. We plan to hire a range of full-time and part-time roles to fulfill the work we'd like to achieve.

If this sounds exciting to you, please reach out to us and let's talk:

jobs@gr-oss.io
Yup, we're planning on it! Longtime admirers of the HOTOSM/OSM community and would love to contribute towards the mission.

If you know of anyone within HOTOSM who would be interested in talking, please tell them to email info@albedo.space
Curious why a random Japanese course is in the top 3 of HN? I feel like this is not an interesting/unusual/novel thing meriting discussion, it's just a Japanese course-- I could just as easily link Duolingo's Japanese course. Moreover, this one is behind a few barriers like a 403 and encourages site visitors to sign up for their giveaway and premium subscription.
Why should we act to funnel Google's profits to nobody except large media outlets over a certain revenue threshold, the largest group of which are owned by Rupert Murdoch?

Why can't we allow all Australian businesses and individuals to receive payments from Google's money hose if they want to?

Why can't we standardise some API for doing so? robots.txt or .well-known/summary-fees.json or something of that sort would work fine.

Why can't Google hide results that cost too much to show? Surely choosing your suppliers is a foundational principle of any market.

I don't have an ideological problem with charging them for showing a link summary or regulating what price negotiation should look like, I have an strategic problem with this oddly specific and coercive way of doing so.
Lots of people praising Android Auto in here. I used it once on a MY19 VW Polo a few years back (car was essentially brand new). I had a Nexus 4 at the time, now I dont know if it was the car or the phone or Spotify itself but the interface was terrible and slow. It would constantly hang and sometimes spotify would crash all together. The google maps navi worked reasonably well but after trying it for one day I switched it off and used the standard bluetooth pair which worked fine. Also, I will rage quit any car OEM that starts showing me ads in the car - because this totally sounds like the next logical jump after "Ford, Google form partnership"...
You sure can :)

I see it as why the article supports Databricks as an RDBMS; it offers something others do not.

You can't currently* do the same extensive UDFs in Snowflake or BQ and, sometimes, they are important.
But with SnowPark coming, hopefully you won't have to make such a large sacrifice to SQL users' experience for it.

* Currently you can do JavaScript UDFs and external functions in Snowflake, and BigQuery ML is worth mentioning here too. Those cover some, but not all, of what you might use a Spark UDF for in SQL.
Warm mist humidifiers consumers higher power but other humidifiers make air cooler by evaporation so anyway more heating is needed. So it's not too bad as you saw in specsheet.

To be fair, HVAC is very efficient (about x5) to heat compared to just a heater(Warm mist humidifier) so it's not efficient but acceptable for me.

If you look at the max data for that graph their GDP fell after 2008 and since then it has never returned to those higher levels of GDP.

At a glance it looks like their GDP went from around 12% down to 6.5% on average which is about a 50% drop in GDP.

It is also represents 12 consecutive years of GDP lower than that last 2008 peak.

It's probably less risky than the first flight of the 1903 Wright Flyer. (The Flyer was highly unstable and could barely be controlled.) Modern notions of risk have changed quite a bit in the last century.
> "Due to similar symptoms, an undetected visual dysfunction can be misdiagnosed as ADD/ADHD, dyslexia or a reading disability. A comprehensive eye exam, which rules out a binocular vision dysfunction, is critical to determining if vision is a contributing factor."

Does a standard eye exam cover that? An optometrist recently told me that my eyes are "boring" and my mild prescription hasn't changed in years. So I've been trying to address my tired eyes with the basics: "20-20-20" (every 20 minutes, look at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds), actually wearing my glasses, drinking enough water, exercise, stress reduction, and getting enough sleep. If I continue to have trouble, should I ask for some more comprehensive exam?

> Anyway, I just wanted to post this in case it's helpful to someone who is lurking with tired eyes and a fractured attention span.

I suspect there are a lot of such folks, but the obvious suspect is the pandemic. Among other things, it often means fewer unplanned vision breaks and generally worse self-care.

> You want an optometrist with F.C.O.V.D after their name, someone who specializes in binocular vision and muscular dysfunction.

To rephrase my initial question more precisely: do I need to get the person who does the exam to have that qualification, or is that just who I'd go to after seeing something is wrong on a standard exam with any optometrist?
They did go 2.0 on it when they moved to 1.0. It was practically perfect before then.

The Hacker's Dictionary says (by way of recommending The Soul of a New Machine by Tracey Kidder)

> This book (a 1982 Pulitzer Prize winner) documents the adventure of the design of a new Data General computer, the MV-8000 Eagle. It is an amazingly well-done portrait of the hacker mindset -- although largely the hardware hacker -- done by a complete outsider. It is a bit thin in spots, but with enough technical information to be entertaining to the serious hacker while providing non-technical people a view of what day-to-day life can be like -- the fun, the excitement, the disasters. During one period, when the microcode and logic were glitching at the nanosecond level, one of the overworked engineers departed the company, leaving behind a note on his terminal as his letter of resignation: "I am going to a commune in Vermont and will deal with no unit of time shorter than a season."
This game reminds me of the JR Train Simulator they have in arcades in Japan. They have a train operator hat you don and 3 screens for a panoramic view, and you pull the lever to stop and go and operate the circular loop Yamanote line. Surprisingly difficult and realistic (I'd imagine, since I've never operated a train).
I'm currently in the process, right now, of writing a minimal init in Rust to do exactly the same thing. Is yours something you'd consider sharing?

I remember when I got out of college a significant portion of companies insta-rejected me because I didn't go to a top school. Many forced you to select the school you went to, and it was just Ivy leagues and "other". If you selected other, you'd receive a rejection email in a few minutes. Doesn't really surprise me to read this. It's obvious how the process works if you've gone through it.

Actually the global poverty line has been on a steady decline over the last three decades (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_poverty). We have made untold advances in the medical sciences (hello MRNA vaccines), we are rapidly divorcing ourselves from our reliance on fossil fuels, and we are living in a time when there is an unprecedented level of awareness for basal human rights (well, primarily in the West and North America). I feel Sale is incredibly naive in thinking agrarian or subsistence based societies were the pinnacle of human comfort. Back breaking labour, very long working hours, poor health care and for the most part, endentured servitude to those who own the land/mills/factories you toil away in? A very reductive and simplistic way of thinking, ala 'Lets go back to the good ol days where the world made sense to me...' It's ridiculous.
I don’t really understand the praise for VLC. I might be wrong here but isn’t it basically a GUI around FFMPEG? While VLC is great at playing anything you throw at it, that’s pretty much all due to the hard work of FFMPEG devs. The parts that VLC adds - the GUI - is really not that well done in my opinion. However it is absolutely critical that we have some sort of open source, cross platform, multimedia player, and for that I applaud it.

The linked page estimates the price to crack a key via a CPU farm is $125K, and cracking one via a GPU farm is $20K. But they don't say what it costs via their system.

On the bright side due to covid remote work has taken off and it definitely helps to fight ageism. I am merely 40 and have been rejected in the past due to not culturally fit(meaning i am old).

I wish the upload to iPhone UI in the browser looked better, the page that loads when navigating to http://iphone.local It's hard to know what has already been uploaded to avoid duplicate uploads. It works great on my local wifi though.

Additionaly is there any plan to incorporate youtube-dl in VLC for iPhone? It would be super beneficial to be able to download an entire YT playlist for offline consumption with VLC instead of first downloading it on a computer and then transferring the files to VLC on a mobile device.
If you're not using docker then you're building in production instead of in CI. Also, that means you're maintaining a deployment instead of building a fresh one every time you deploy. This means leftover files will pile up and that is certainly not tested upstream at any time: tests run on fresh ephemeral deployments in general.
The only reason I use smplayer instead of VLC is its ability to search and almost always find and save a subtitle from opensubtitles.org painlessly. VLSub provides the counterpart feature in VLC but the search requires tinkering with the name and saving subtitles doesn't save to the right place/randomly fails.
I really don't think that 2008 was ever close to anything like "Worse than 1930". For example Europe handled the financial crisis in an almost completely farcical way and didn't suffer anything close to the economic problems of 1930's America. There was never a moment where the US or any other important financial center was at risk of a real bank run of any significance.

One subtlety is that you apparently get ten sweepstakes "entries" per dollar you donate, whereas I believe the free-of-charge entry method you linked to only gets you one entry. So your chances of winning would start out at 1% of those of a $10 donor.

Here in this thread we saw someone donate $1,000, so that person already has 10,000× the chance of winning of each person who uses the free sweepstakes entry method. :-)
I would like to know why you would think that.

In US terms it seems clear that financial support in excess of that available in 2009 onwards will be provided.

> I find it ironic that many "diversity and inclusion" pundits claim that Asians are overrepresented in companies like Google and actively advocate for hiring policies that disfavor Asians but in fact the DoL has found here that they were discriminated _against_.

This is the consequence of heeding calls to Do Something based on uncontrolled aggregate statistics.

If 50% of the qualified applicants are Asian (despite being ~7% of the US population) and then your company ends up being 50% Asian, people who don't understand what's happening start yelling at you because 50% >> 7%.

If your response is to Do Something and that causes your company to be 40% Asian, the Something was plausibly some kind of proscribed discrimination, even though Asians are still quite overrepresented relative to the general population.

And so on for all of the other cases and demographics where people are caused to be angry based on misleading numbers and then the same thing happens.
