So, if I am reading this correctly:

A combination of the Trump corporate tax cut and rebates on past losses in the CARES act, as well as other existing rebates, are reducing taxes that many companies have to pay this year, in some cases all the way to a negative effective rate.

Increases in share prices have also pushed up CEO pay, since CEOs receive a lot of stock as part of their total comp.
Damn. Seems like I found the adres where I will get servers when I need them.
oh well js is a dependency now...
You can build mainline linux without an MMU, and there are even pretty crazy setups where you can run it on a ARM cortex (though usually an M4). It is not a standard system though, very little software will run without modification. The biggest issue for such processors is usually actually lack of memory (they have relatively little built-in and most have no external memory busses. There's at least one project where the externel memory is bitbanged through gpio!).
I still want to try the ZZ language (https://github.com/zetzit/zz) someday. It compiles to C, and uses a SMT solver to prove that you don't index out-of-bounds at compile time. But I don't like how it lacks generics, uses C idioms, and compiles to C.
Should make it easier to jump-start a competitor!
Good callout. What would you use if you had to restrict operator overloading to an appropriate “number” abstraction?
All of the wages that Nike and Amazon pay are taxed though. They create commerce that is taxed at just about every turn.
Ask HN: Video Streaming Options for Old iPad?
I have a 3rd generation iPad (MC706LL/A) and want to watch videos on it, but both Disney+ and Amazon Prime are not compatible with it. Any clever workarounds for these apps, or am I just out of luck?
VB is older than Delphi. Anders went to Microsoft years later.

Rumoured letter bombs were around new years (Cobras). They were rumours, mind - it's not like they've made specific claims.
When I bought my Thinkpad (one year after its release and with lots of recommendations) it took more than a year before it worked reliably without any kernel panics and weird lockups. External monitor support when docked was broken for even longer. Now I fear the day this notebook stops working and I might have to go through similar trouble again.
Same. I feel like I spend 45 minutes every time I write a shell script to determine simple things like "is this environment variable set". Stack Overflow always has 100 answers on how to do this, and every one has someone replying "well that doesn't work if..."

In general, after 20 years of using Unix, I'm starting to sour on the "everything is a string" and "streams are just newline separated plain-text records". The shell is a pretty good REPL, and glue like seq, find, xargs, grep, etc. are very good. But honestly, I find myself reaching for purpose-built tools rather than ad-hoc pipelines more and more. fdfind does more of what I want on average than find; rg does more of what I want than 'find | xargs grep'. I also find myself using more and more structured data, and write more jq pipelines than I do bash pipelines. Finally, I am getting more and more frustrated at basic shell mechanics like history handling. I have 5 terminals open on average, and I don't understand why C-r in one won't find history in another (I know why, of course, but I don't like it). I'm getting pretty close to just writing my own shell and toolchain. I feel like if the Unix shell needed to be fundamentally reimagined, someone would have already done it. But they haven't. They just hacked Unicode and remote RPCs into shell prompts so that pressing "enter" on an empty shell prompt takes 25 seconds to run. I'm not sure why people are so focused on the polish and not the core inadequacies, but they are, and I feel like I'm going to have to fix that myself in the next couple years...
Sounds about right. My house, at idle, uses 300w last time I measured it, probably more now. Most of that would be electronics. A rack in the garage with a 24 port PoE switch powering a couple of APs, and a router, a NAS, a handful of small devices, plus whatever drain is used by the various laptops and iMac at sleep, and the clocks on the various appliances, the small aquarium pump on the cat fountain.

The appliances, as I mentioned, are all gas, but still a clothes dryer and a washing machine consume some electricity, as does the pump on my furnace, as do ceiling fans in use when necessary.

And of course, the devices that cycle on and off all the time; the refrigerator, instant hot tap under the sink.

And then there's the actual electricity we consume during the times we're home to do things like light the house, watch television or use computers, listen to music, etc. It is quite easy to use 2000-2500w when home and active in the evenings.
This is long trodden knowledge dating back to the 1960-1970s when NASA studied it.

At Earth orbit you only double the total power/meter^2 and that boost is no where near covering the added cost of space launch for anything (even with SpaceX).
> „But the customs made me throw it away before the return flight. I couldn’t even take a sip.”"

B.S.

Before a flight, a highly paid (given what they do) security theather monkey tried to demand that I forfeit an expensive bottle.

Knowing full well how it works in most countries, where the loots are split at the end of the day, I said "watch this", chugged it down, and voluntarily surrendered the now empty bottle.

At least I enjoyed it partly!

Even if later I did throw up during the flight, I prefer being sick than my luxury bottle being stolen by a security theater monkey.
I agree that operator overloading should be restricted to math objects. D tries to make it unpleasant to do it for non-math objects. For example, < <= > >= are not overloadable separately, just one function `opCmp` does all of them. Non-math operators are not overloadable.

The D community has generally agreed, and we haven't had much trouble with people overloading operators to do a regular expression DSL, for example.
Is there any open source version of their RSS creator?
> Except when you consider where each technology fits within its own S-curve of adoption (X axis over time, Y axis is % of the technology adopted by the market).

Unfortunately, even a very small amount of noise in the data makes is basically impossible to know where you are in an S-curve.

Much safer to make predictions based on the far more limited good news that PV+battery is already cheaper than coal for electricity or ICE for cars.

Hmm… question for anyone who knows: with current tech, how much would it cost to develop a significant PV-powered electrolysis-and-Sabatier-process plant in any of the big coastal deserts, for exporting methane?

I'm surprised that every comment so far is about operator overloading. All I thought after reading this is: saying what words mean up front sure is tedious and unnecessary.
> The fact that you have to use quoting nearly everywhere is a design flaw in the Borne shell

I disagree. This can be considered a design flaw in other places, like filesystems that allow filenames with spaces and other idiotic complexity-inducing things.

Oh man, they would have paid $8.5 billion in corporate income taxes.

That'll for sure plug the trillions extra we spent in the past 12 months, the $2 trillion laughble infrastructure plan that does nothing, our forever trillion dollar entitlement deficits and hundreds of billions in unnecessary military spending. We better immediately get on raising corporate income taxes on every business - which is what this article is ideologically timed to argue in favor of.

And then a lot more of our major corporations will flee the US, as they were beginning to prior to bringing the corporate income tax down to a sane level that is competitive. They'll take jobs and R&D with them, while making the rest of the world even more competitive; see: Medtronic (and Pfizer nearly joined them). So then you'll have to strap another layer of authoritarianism onto the increasingly unfree US and say that companies are no longer allowed to leave (de facto building walls to keep resources from fleeing bad policy and decades of wildly irrational spending).

The only place the US is going to find a lot more income tax, is from the middle class tax bracket and those above it. And that still won't come close to dealing with the deficits. Those brackets are where every other welfare state on the planet finds their income tax revenue, the US is one of the few exceptions that doesn't drown its middle class in taxes, and if we're going to do that we better give those people healthcare in exchange among other things (like nice infrastructure, high-speed rail, and so on). But we won't do that, we'll drown everyone in taxes and give them nothing further in return, we'll just keep running our worst-in-the-world welfare state instead, as we have been.
> Of course some will claim that provisions exist for damages to be claimed in the event of false takedowns

If the falsity is only in regard to the not-under-perjury parts of a takedown notice (like, say, that there is infringing content!), then you maybe, in some circumstances, have a tortious interference claim, but, generally, you are screwed. If you are lucky, your host has and follows a counternotice process and you can get the material back up, but recovering any damages is unlikely.
So I don't know about routers or networks. I live in a an apartment. Which router (+ a extra point / 2 hub mesh) is recommended these days. There seems to be a plethora of options. But most of always end with ubiquity, which today feels like a bad choice. Also kind of expensive. Preferable something Completely local. No cloud service. Preferable opens source.

I live in EU.

(Sorry if it's bad form to ask for product recommendations, but I am unhappy with/ don't trust, my isp provided router, and gp explicitly mentions buying a router)
By itself, it seems like a nonsequitor for the article to mention that the tax rate changed from 35% to 21%, since if 35% of X is $0, then 21% of X is still gonna be $0.

However the new benefit for companies is that when the lose money, instead of having to use the loss to offset future profits, they can also use it to offset past profits. Offsetting past income taxed at 35% (from before the Trump tax cuts) is more valuable than offsetting future income which in theory will be taxed at 21%.
From what I can gather, April 1st is not your favorite day of the year.
That's the great part about markets: If you think the terms are unfair or overestimate the default risk, you can offer car loans at the same or lower rates without such odious restrictions! (Or invest in someone who does &c.)

If no one's willing to do it, then maybe they're actually calibrating the risk correctly?
Or this is just virtue signalling.

>Hrmm, so the cost and performance is much the same, but it adds value by creating a new talking point for Tesla owners to harangue others with.

I know that hating on Tesla is a thing, but don't forget the higher torque, better efficiency, lower heat generation in the stator windings. And the fact that this type of motor first showed up in the Prius and Tesla made a better version of it. Yeah they're getting away with saying they invented it Prius were touting their continuously variable transmission instead of thier motors.

Well, this is the argument against EV from the beginning. Literally people were shitting on Tesla because they started with a the Roadster.

Now they have a much, much better car for significantly lower price produced at much, much higher volume.

This is just gone continue, each generation produced will move down market.

Poor people will never buy new cars, but 2nd hand Bolt EV are already a bargain considering what you save on fuel cost.

As more EV are produced, more EV are gone be sold second hand. And at the same time new cheaper EV are gone be interceded in the market.

There is no inherent reason why an EV should be more expensive then a gas car, but there is a 100 year technology and infrastructure gap, this gap needs to be filled by the rich, upper middle class and now the middle class.

This is basically the same with every new mass technology.

And that's the point: most people haven't, and many who have probably weren't able to link it to something specific like "Facebook vacuumed up all my data and then lost it". And "most people" are the people who influence and make policy.

About 12 years ago, some friends and I ended up rewatching the original Space Jam. 30 minutes into the movie, somebody exclaimed "THE WEBSITE IS STILL UP!" - and we promptly changed movie night over to trawling the website, laughing at the design. Keep in mind these were peak Web 2.0 days.

I'm glad that the 1996 website is preserved in some official capacity, but there are two things that we won't get back: the joy of hogging the phone line for an hour to download a 7.5mb trailer, and now the joy of surreptitiously finding the site untouched.
Show HN: Modern music is slightly off tune, here is an instrument that isn't
Musical harmony is all about sound frequencies related to each other by simple ratios, like 3/2 and 5/4. For the past few hundred years Western music has been using a tuning system in which these simple fractions are approximated by powers of the twelfth root of 2. This brings some practical musical advantages, but even the average listener can hear the difference, the loss of purity of harmony. I made an instrument that instead uses a tuning system called just intonation, that uses pure, exact fractions only.

The link opens with the help overlay of the instrument. It reads like a blog text explaining tuning systems and just intonation. If you would rather poke at things than read, then click the X on top left to close the overlay and just play with the thing.

Budgets can't be planned at all when there is no more "{m,b,t}illionaires" to steal from either.
I have no judgement for people in poorer countries. They gotta do what works for them and I support that. In the USA where I live, animal agriculture is grotesque and torturous, so I don’t eat any animal products. I actually work at a small rural farm which produces plenty of eggs, but even there the chickens are treated as things which produce money more than living creatures. It all seems cruel and unnecessary to me.

It sounds like eating lamb has a material basis in poorer countries (potential lack of food), but in places like the US that is not the case. It is done solely as a “tasty” food product.
> Abigail Disney has parted with $72m – and thinks the rich need to pay far more tax.

I think she is trying to raise the point, that both she and all the others should be properly taxed - and that would be fair and just. Achieving that would in fact notably help people.

A single person giving away 72M$ will not make a difference.
I enjoy looking at domain expiries. They're fun to play with, especially if you're a domain collector like me hah.

Woke and Cancelling IS McMartin all over again; precisely.

I used to live and work near Manhattan Beach (where McMartin was located) and it was obviously an irrational panic from the very beginning! The moment they started talking about "secret tunnels to torture chambers" it went off the deep end - you could drive by the location and without even having a Civil Engineering degree see that it was 100% BS.

Just like lives are ruined by Woke today, so the completely innocent McMartins were ruined and destroyed as well.

I recall the first time someone showed me lithium batteries, in a radio control car that outperformed a real car. Even then, the price while high wasn't the biggest barrier to getting large quantities; you just couldn't get as many as you wanted. Don't think that has ever eased.

I think that's why TSLA is such a hot stock, people feel there's much more market thats undeserved and TSLA seems to be the only folks gearing up to build batteries until everyone has all they want.

For one thing, it asks you to list 3 amazing things that happened that day, which gets you to focus on the positive rather than the negative.
There probably isn't an EU-level limit, but member countries can set them. In Finland you can bring as much as you want for your own use, but past some point you need to be able to actually prove that it's for your own use. Current guidelines are: 110 liters of beer, 10 liters of other alcohol drinks, 20 liters of max 22 % intermediate products, 90 liters of wines or fermented long drinks/ciders. Common reasons for bringing more than that are e.g. your own wedding.
I'm sure the CEO paid taxes on his pay. 38.5% of federal tax revenue comes from the top 1%.

Given that it was posted on April 1, you might be onto something.
Argument can be made she never had to work and never actually made any money, other than inheriting the work of her grandfather Roy O. Disney.

She is as privileged and self-entitled as can be.
I feel like there is too much outrage fueled by a complete misunderstanding of how our tax system works right now.

If corporations are taxed then there is effectively double taxation. Corporations can only spend the money on business expenses, such as paying people. However when people are paid they are being taxed already.

So our current tax system taxes a corporation if they have excess money they sit on. If they spend the money on productive uses it doesn’t get taxed, but then the people who receive the money get taxed.

So the headline is extremely disingenuous because if Nike had $0 taxable income it’s only because they shifted the taxable income to the CEO’s pay.
I find if I go somewhere with my phone navigating, I have much less of a sense of how to backtrack. If I use written directions or a paper map, I can usually get back with little difficulty.
Can you get rid of your ISP provided router? There are lots of obstacles there.
I honestly don't get the "stealing" part, can you explain what you mean?
Sure, but I also don’t imagine these companies are standing on the sidelines while tax laws are written, pleasantly surprised to see things working out in their favor once again.
I'd suspect some of it is access and perception.

You might be able to find a similar car at the same price in a private-party deal, but it would entail skimming newspapers/websites and then finding transportation to each seller's home to see one vehicle. In contrast, you can probably get a bus to a scummy dealership located on a main commercial street and see dozens of lemons at once.

I also suspect there's a perception of legitimacy from a dealer-- that a private-sale vehicle could be faulty, but one being sold commercially can be assumed roadworthy.
Maplibre is certainly weak in the "GIS front" like coordinate transformation or WMS stuff etc.

But yes, the one big feature missing in openlayers is Web GL support for vector tiles. There was some support for this but due to bugs (or something else?) they removed it in the latest version. Note that openlayers has Web GL support for e.g. point cloud.

> if they receive from some entity a DMCA takedown that is believed to be false (according to whatever standards are applied to counterclaims)

There are no standards for counterclaims except format standards. All a counterclaim does is permit undoing a takedown without the provider being liable, transferring determination of who is right to litigation between the purported copyright owner and the content uploader with the host fully immunized.
Not sure why you're suggesting shenanigans like wifi SSID tricks (and others jumping the bandwagon), when the actual thing that happened here is obvious:

I’d argue that to the contrary, loot boxes have demonstrated that having a cash-value payout isn’t necessary to elicit gambling behavior in people.
"Why Software Engineers should become CEOs"[1] proposes that the engineers have a better sense of value, of what will work, &bthat they should be in charge more.

Rarely are technics given first seat at companies. We talk about being product organizations or engineering organizations but I feel like in both cases there is still enormous political processes that most engineers face in their urge to do the right thing. And sussing out, helping the company internalize which bits are of lasting value, done well, &bought be enshrined &built upon, sharing & syndicating these notions out: it re-becomes political almost immediately.

I had a rather long-winded reply to "software is a losers game" that surmized a lot of the challenges & environments of software development together[2]. I think it helps explain some of why the field so rarely, clearly excels.

You're conflating two issues. Chromium's dominance is a problem for sure, but that is separate from the web being an open platform. The web is more open than Linux (which I use btw) because a web app can run on Linux, MacOS, Windows, FreeBSD, Android, iOS and more without recompiling, redistributing or re-anything. Would it be nice if it wasn't HTML/JS/CSS based? Absolutely. But we gotta take what we can get.

I couldn't agree more that Google's dominance in web technology is a problem. But you're throwing the baby out with the bath water.

And just to add, the current situation is still better than proprietary native apps on MacOS and Windows. I can at least use Chromium in many forms and on virtually any operating system. Not ideal, but the alternative people in this thread are suggesting is far worse.
