> I'd love to see the data for Libertarians promoting land tax.

You can Google this. There’s a lot of disagreement but some of them are for it.

I would imagine that the LVT would make it hard to compete with government housing at some price points, but I don’t know too much about Vienna in particular.

My understanding was they they were trying to write tax policy to maximize the private market production of housing affordable at some percentage of AMI (or rather however the measure median income). But I don’t have a sophisticated understanding.

America is worse off after months of BLM protests. So you could argue that being broke, woke, and violent can make a difference.
Quora has a Chitlin' Circuit group. Lots of good stuff there.
There's no animal species that live forever so it'll be pretty hard I think. It's a fundamental building block of evolution.

Not to mention the damage to our planet if humanity stays growing even faster. If everyone lived forever and continued to procreate we'd run out of everything in no time at all. For that reason alone I think this kind of therapy will be reserved to the ultra rich. No chance for all of us.
Yeah! Why have laws anyways? Every law will be broken sooner or later and it’s not like we have institutions tasked with enforcing laws. /s

Not the OP, but yes, getting more powerful machines to run your program is what "vertical scaling" means (as opposed to running multiple copies of your program on similar-sized machines aka "horizontal scaling" ).
In my case, I run all services locally without docker. apt-get seems to work just fine.

This is what seasonality means. It doesn't mean "it'll be eliminated next season".

They're referring more to, success can be claimed for lockdowns/etc whether or not they had an effect, simply by waiting until the natural seasonality causes a drop in cases.

TL;DR - CBD may offer a pathway to help control the inflammatory threat to the myelin sheath.
Very likely that internally there were people who had an inkling this was going on, but could never convince product to devote time to put it in the backlog. This change is a win for that engineer.

This example will be ammunition in internal debates about how much to weigh product pressure vs engineering suggestions that improvement is technically possible; the next time an eng says "let's look at this slowness one more time, it may be fixable more easily than you think", they might be listened to.
Fun fact: It has been growing by 30% over the last 30 years. (from just below 1.5M in 1990 to just below 2M today.)

The article is about the situation the city was left in after a quite rapid growth from 0.5M in 1851 to 2M in 1910, just before WWI.
I'm not sure why this is appearing light gray to me. Laws and mores change via active opposition, as they should; but those opposing should know and accept the risk they are taking.
Unless your ISP blocks that traffic or makes you pay extra for access to that system you want them to host or has their own curation team curating the news to suit their needs.
True, but last I checked, Google Authenticator and other similar apps (except maybe Authy or password managers) would refuse to upload or backup keys to iCloud Backups for odd reasons. Presumably they wanted the same sort of identity properties that something like Touch ID has, and thus would be solved by having more than one ID.

Unfortunately most people have only one phone, so that didn’t work until options came along where you could add more than one token/device instead as backup.
> First off, my comment wasn't legal advice.

Fair. Just a bad legal take. Which other people might interpret as advice.

> Second, the federal government is not bound by the linked document

Like this. This is not true. You might believe it, you might be acting in good faith, but it’s false. I know there are exceptions, but the DOJ and the federal law enforcement apparatus in general is bound by its own policy, and most (not all) prosecutors take that seriously. They take it so seriously that the linked memo remained in effect even through highly politicized ousting of career officials to install loyal lackeys.

Are there exceptions? Absolutely. Are they abusive? Often, when they occur. Are they neutral “might happen to rando people who just got permission to have a little trip and aren’t upsetting anyone who might want to prosecute them maliciously”? Very probably not.

It does a disservice to people who are targeted by prosecutorial abuse to frame it this way. And it does a disservice to the people who are far more likely to be targeted by states than the federal government to muddy those waters.
i'd be afraid of "how/why did you find in the first place" type of questions.
I totally agree except that I prefer NixOS because it supports ZFS so well.
People would not steal nice looking federal government vehicles for similar reasons as they didn't steal wasteful spending on those Dodge Charger police cars. You're committing a crime where the government has the maximum amount of incentive to hunt you down and charge with the most number of crimes.

Stealing a regular person's car and crashing it isn't of much concern if you don't kill anyone.

I use these three both remote and locally, and start all of these using a simple shell script.
can you help me understand the income point you made? I'm not sure I totally follow.

If I make less than $40k a year, I pay 0% capital gains? But what about income tax? You have to have some form of income, which will be taxable. I don't see how to keep that so low your effective taxation will be 0% while having enough money to live on? Am I missing something? Forgive my unfamiliarity with the tax regimes here.
Yep, to get beyond that you basically have to stop writing scheme and start writing a tortured variant of Chicken, for performance. ;)

I stopped writing Chicken scheme code a few years ago; it was fun due to the ease of interoperating with C, but I found Chibi a better fit for that niche eventually.
What’s India’s Beef with Bitcoin, Really?
These are all great points for anyone looking to try this to keep in mind.

For us, on points 1 and 2, we have done some due diligence on going through all the different pages/flows on our dashboard to make sure everything still looks good and text remains readable. A lot of folks internally prefer dark mode and dogfood it day to day which also helps a lot. So far we also haven't heard any major complaints re: readability/contrast from our customers, thankfully, but of course as soon as we do, we'll adjust and re-evaluate.

On point 3, this is where the inverse filter trick comes in handy, we've had to apply this in a few places where the inversion made things look awkward and/or unusable, most notably external partner logos and user-uploaded receipt pictures.

All of this is part of why it's still labeled as an experimental feature even months after release.
Does the electric code permit overallocation in that case? That's not my area of expertise but I doubt it does.

And yes, installing service is "cheap" but it takes time.
Real men test in production. Others know better.
Which is still different than running plain Docker on EC2 machines.
Why do you have a problem with this "alternative" reality?
> Meet. Your. Users. Where. They. Are.

I think you're missing the point. Emacs is an editor that is tied to programmers, where most of its users are programmers. It's not a general purpose text editor.

And while MacOS as an operating system for general purpose usage has done incredibly well due to its intuitive design first approach when it comes to developers many have pointed "your users" have pointed out that its interface and philosophy is restricting.

> It doesn't matter. When people talk of editing documents in Word, they speak of opening a file, not a buffer.

But nothing in emacs says you can't open a file. Just that the contents once it's opened are in a buffer. But if you open files outside of emacs they'll be opened as independent windows. By the same token we shouldn't be able to have a window split in frames, because Word opens each file in a window? The naming is a necessity for disambiguation.

And in fact, the idea of what you have open is a file does introduce problems. How many people you know *ucked up because they didn't save changes? They afterwards learned the hard way what is a buffer that every program uses (even in photoshop, or other software) but didn't learn it's name, just that you should save it every N minutes...
Conflict over Values
I mean, at this scale, why aren't you at least running in Heroku so you can have some niceties and not have to scramble when your VPS craps the bed?
I just solaris zone out when people start talking about it.
Emacs speed was good enough 45 years ago, with modern processors it's just lightning fast.

You can have C / Rust / any_lang extensions like RipGrep to boost some intensive workloads as well.
> Meet. Your. Users. Where. They. Are.

But who are your users?

I started using emacs back in the 1990s, when I was in high school; I actually started using it under OS/2 (as part of EMX), later switched to running it under Linux. I never had trouble with the concept or name "buffers". I just read the manual and the manual explains everything very clearly. (I really loved the GNU Emacs manual, it was a pleasure to read.) In more recent years, I've abandoned emacs completely for vim, but vim calls them buffers too. I am totally at home with a text editor with "buffers", and changing the name isn't going to make anything less confusing for me – if anything, the change is going to confuse me.

Tools like emacs and vim are not targeted at "ordinary" users. If a tool isn't aimed at "ordinary" users, it shouldn't be judged for not meeting their needs, since it was never trying to.

I even wrote a text editor myself (half-finished personal project, I've never released it publicly, don't know if I ever will, it was really just to prove to myself I could do it). And it has "buffers" too, because that is the concept and terminology I am comfortable with.
I don't think that there is any, sorry.

> Deployments, N+1 redundancy, HA etc

None of those things are mutually exclusive with vertical scaling?

Having two identical servers for redundancy is doesn't mean you are scaling horizontally (assuming each can handle the load individually, nothing better than discovering that that assumption was incorrect in an outage).
> We already place a human value on life in healthcare, via QALY (Quality Adjusted Life Years)

That calculation is profoundly flawed and is based on linearity: some of the most expensive treatments are extortionate, relative to the true and actual cost to produce, against the QALY/DALY calculation. Instead, if a pharmaceutical company or a medical device company charges an extortionate amount of money for a product, the patents should be seized and governments should be allowed to produce them themselves. In a lot of cases, government funding does 80-90%+ of the research and work that allows the medical product to be marketed.

In the case of coronavirus, some governments, such as the United States, had the capability, at least theoretically to at least try and pursue the elimination strategy. That is, if the United States did not have a neoliberal government in place at the time and the citizens of the United States actually trusted its public officials. A lot of smaller countries have fared well during the pandemic. It is clear that the elimination strategy has been quite successful from an economic standpoint, for the countries that have pursued it.

> The same sums spent on lockdown and lockdown compensation could have been invested in general healthcare, or tackling air pollution (which kills 800,000 Europeans a year).

As for this matter, health insurance (private/public/national) should absolutely cover PAPRs (powered air purifying respirators) for people who are immunocompromised, have lung issues, have severe heart issues, or are at high risk from dying from illnesses like influenza. There are now half-mask (non-helmet and/or not full facemask) PAPRs that are more discreet and wearable, that are much more pragmatic than typical masks: https://industrial.optrel.com/en/product-selector-1/swiss-ai...

It is crucial that we first and foremost protect our most vulnerable, out of the principle of solidarity.

Obviously some of those deaths are directly from global warming. We have not done enough with respect to global warming, and people will die. But, this is unacceptable and we knew that it was coming. We have to do more, and putting a dollar amount on the lives of the most vulnerable is a distraction that keeps us from doing better as a society. We all pay a price by doing this.
Sometimes I miss the simplicity of working at a small startup.
I personally found Go far more unproductive than Python - doing if err!=nil a zillion times and writing the nth for loop..it made me cry worse than cutting fresh onions.

Python is not Perfect (bad general-purpose performance), but IMHO honestly a more productive language than Go.

And Python has type hinting nowadays which is sweet when you want it. Type hinting is good for self-documenting stable code.
Not the point of the article at all, but the annoying part of me feels compelled to point out a factual error:

Windows had dark mode long before copycats Android and iOS came on the scene with their implementations.

Windows Phone 7 had it back in 2010; dark was the default in part because it worked better for the displays in use at the time, and made the large bezels less noticeable.

Windows 10 launched with dark mode support in 2015. It was supported in the system shell, natively in UWP apps, and the setting was available to other apps through the Registry.

Dark mode support was even included on the Xbox One all the way back in 2013, although that is sort of cheating since they didn’t introduce light mode there until 2017.
A bit offtopic. All AMD, Intel and ARM processors come with binary blobs that can't be disabled or removed which could potentially control your whole computer (Intel Management Engine, AMD Platform Security Processor).

Really powerful desktop and server-grade processors are available with fully open source firmware and hardware (even fully open BMC). It's not that expensive, comes with PCIe 4.0 and other modern features [1].

They are POWER9 processors, not x86_64. But many software work on it, checkout 'talos-workstation' on IRC to chat with the users [can access IRC through Element Matrix app] - someone is running Android Studio on it (yeah so much for privacy but still).

SystemD is a lot less complicated than Docker is.

We run a service whose primary input is Dockerfiles; I'm not a Docker-hater. But doing the things we're talking about here in a systemd unit just isn't hard, and Docker, as you say, does a lot more than than systemd does.

Your comment would be better without the "rather embarrassing" swipe, for what it's worth.
I guess I'm wrong. I assumed they'd be more common, given how everyone I know has one in southern Alberta (Canada). I thought America would be similar in areas to the North. Granted, -40 (which it gets to here) does count as really low.
Absolutely. Was just responding to SMS being a direct part of people's "social existence", which it really isn't in most of the world.

As you say, though, it's one step away from things that are in fact directly used for communication.
This is pretty egregious, but not surprising. Google wants that data and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it. I’ma little surprised though as other Google apps (hangouts) behaves and asks for access to additional photos every time I try and send a picture.
Containers, like a lot of tech tools, is situational. You should use a tool because it solves a problem you're having, not because it's popular. There's a lot of value in keeping your pipeline simple, but there's also plenty of wisdom in using the right tools for the job.
Disappointing that they would mandate details about the opt-out process for selling personal information instead of mandating that it be an opt-in process.
It is built by an anarchist person who always refused to give out personal info of people to the point where his company was taken from him, and he ran away to France. He and his brother hired a ton of PhDs and made lots of paid challenges that no one could break their encryption. Their software is open sourced. The encryption Moxie Marlinspike uses was conveniently funded by the very US government agencies interested in breaking encryption.

Yep. I feel like there’s a weird war between static and dynamic linking. Distro maintainers love dynamic linking because they can upgrade one dynamic library to fix a security issue, rather than pushing security patches to everything it depends on. Software houses love static linking because they (we) want to know exactly what version of every dependency our software uses when it runs. Docker forces an entire userland to be statically distributed - but everything it does should be possible using static linking + some tooling to easily ship a binary.

Playing this turf war out through tooling seems silly. Linux should support both without needing to rely on Docker and friends.
Oh no, the string and/or QR code should be backed up when one is setting up the 2FA.

If you have that seed phrase, & any device with correct time can calculate the TOTP code, even a simple local javascript app.

Obviously that phrase leaked would mean hacker can also generate codes. So that's why those phrases should be kept extra safe, away from normal passwords.

Systems which are turing-complete but not turing-equivalent are stronger than turing machines. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercomputation

The "All known Turing-complete systems are Turing-equivalent, which adds support to the Church–Turing thesis." thing seems to have an implied "Turing-complete systems that are physically implementable." (I edited the article to add that.)
My dad had MS, they knew that MS was caused by demyelination years ago. Is this study important because they found the gene (or a gene?) that corresponds to that?

MS is not inherited, but it looks like they’ve already identified genes as well that increase risk, and risk increases if a family member has it.

Same here. The ingredients themselves may be of low quality, nearly (or past) their expiration date...

I don't think the OP's project is particularly suspect, and on the contrary it seems to me that a "robotic" approach induces on the typical prospect's mind a more-than-vague impression that the process, in such a restaurant, is well-mastered and under control.

If there is any locally well-known label/certification of quality (ingredients, cartons...), which will be clearly displayed for any prospect to see, it may be a booster.
These things can also be solved by using distro packages and `cp`-ing config files. Docker introduces a ton of complexity into the stack.

Using Docker to solve these problems is like hiring a construction company to build a birdhouse. Sure, it'll save you the work of having to build the birdhouse yourself, but...it's major overkill, and could end up costing you more effort than other options.

Now, if you were running a complex suite of mircoservices, then there might be a good reason to use containers. But containers are like JavaScript; you shouldn't jump for them before you've weighed your other options.
I feel like if you have an AMI you don't need docker. If you have docker you don't need a new AMI each time.

For me it's about knowing "what is running." If I can get a binary, docker image, or AMI that lets me know exactly what is running then that's all I need to really care about. For docker without Fargate, k8s, nomad, or etc. it's probably best to simply have an ansible or salt config which pulls down the binary/docker image and updates a systemd service or similar on server group "a" and then you do the same thing to server group "b".

Occasionally you create a new base AMI with updates and expected scripts/agents/etc. and replace the existing instances.

I've wondered a lot about what the value prop of Docker is for simple Go applications and agree that if you can get away with it, ignoring Docker can be a good way to go.

One thing a Docker container gets you for a simple Go app is the ability to run it on any platform that runs container images (like ECS); that's more flexibility than you get with something that needs a proper VPS to run. Everything knows how to run a Docker image.

But if you don't care about stuff like ECS, and you're not trying to harden or isolate your runtime, and you don't do anything funky with networking --- this describes lots of apps --- sure!
What if you need to use e.g. MongoDB or Redis or Nginx or CUDA or CUDNN as part of your deployment? I imagine Go isn't going to package all of that stuff into a binary though.

This isn't a problem at all for modern type systems. OCaml, Haskell, and even C++ have Turing complete type systems and this is one of the last concerns for developers.
