Would be happy to see a support from open source community for LG phones long after the manufacture is closed. LineageOS for example does a good job supporting old phones. Reverse engineering takes ages and very often is abandoned somewhere in the middle of months or years of work. So it would be very nice if LG didn't push open source community to have to do reverse engineering.

Another thing is that they didn't manage to sell their mobile division so it means all their work is gonna go to waste. And that would be very pity. I would be happy to see them donating everything to organizations like Pine64 (or some other org - pine64 is just first that comes to my mind).
The purpose is to equalize the amount of tax that companies pay. Consider the following example: Assuming a tax rate of 30%, Company A has net income (profit) of $100 in year 1 and $100 in year two pays $60 in tax on a total profit of $200. Company B has a net loss of $100 in year 1 and net income of $300 ni year 2 has a total profit still of $200. Assuming loss carryforwards are allowed, Company B pays $60 in tax still. Without loss carryforwards, Company B ends up paying $90 in tax on the same amount of profit.

It leads to bad headlines when companies claim a bunch of loss carryforwards, but it actually is a fair practice. The other thing to keep in mind is that losses are only paid out in refunds when you actually pay tax. Company B does not earn $30 back from the government for losing money in year 1, it instead gets money back once it starts making profit.

Note that at least in Canada, these rules apply to all types of income, not just business income, although losses on employment income basically never happen.
Hey Jose, how much time did it took you to build this project?

Thanks, awesome work
I'm not trying to impress anyone, I just want to solve business problems quickly, get paid, and go golf. I firmly believe that high productivity can be achieved by using boring technology. https://expatsoftware.com/articles/happiness-is-a-boring-sta...
Oneplus just isn't the same anymore in my opinion. My two year old OnePlus 6 launched at $530 with flagship specs and a headphone jack. The 9 starts at $730 for the same screen resolution, same storage, and it even loses the headphone jack and OIS.

> It's weird how perceptions can differ. I found that German dubs are pretty bad, you lose pretty much all emotion in it and if you don't know the language spoken in the movie, using subtitles is preferable over German audio.

German dubbing, and really dubbing in general, is a regular subject of mockery in Norway where we're used to sub-titles, as a thing that makes anything unwatchable whether or not you know German. I think peoples ability to deal with dubbing is strongly dependent on whether or not you grew up with it.

Stop thinking in terms of technology, language, and tools. Learn to think in terms of product. Imagine the end state of something original and awesome, then build it. It’s not about what you know or don’t know, it’s about action and goals.
https://getgeodb.com is a hosted CartoDB which is an open source stack built on PostGIS but its notoriously hard to run and configure. So we decided to run it as a service for others... we find it very useful to build apps on top of PostGIS since running them requires configuring middleware like tileservices, data APIs and importing data.

Sure, but at the same time it's important to stress that while the judge is still out on Tesla , the wealth of mr. Musk is pretty real, and I mean both the mega salary which has parameters optimized for Musk to achieve as well as the paper wealth which despite its name for sure won't go to 0 like Theranos.

But let's focus on the salary package, it is a optimized for growth not for success, those are 2 very different things.

I am kinda conflicted about this, but when I am calm and analyze the situation from a neutral standpoint I always come up to the conclusion that it takes 2 parties to come up with an agreement . Musk managed to sell his way during the negotiation and arrive to that advantageous salary compensation which is basically crafted for him to achieve by basically keep doing what he's doing (growth and nonstop promotion), can't say anything other than "well played mr. Musk", good for him, he managed to get what he wanted out of the negotiation.
If you do that by investing, it does work the same way. You can roll forward capital losses indefinitely and offset them against future capital gains, something which investors in 2000 and 2008 became well-acquainted with.

The difference is few people start with financing that allows them to amass large investable sums without showing a cash income early in life. That’s because companies can raise VC and sell equity while we (rightly, of course) banned the equivalent practice for people.
OTOH, talking on a screen is not really a novel invention. OTOH, while Tiktok,instagram etc make it easier for someone to begin a TV career (because that's what it is, we just use different words), and remove the middlemen, it's not really turned "everyone to a broadcaster", only a few manage to become popular and dominate the market. As video apps become more mainstream, fewer and fewer people will test the waters in it, as the dominant influencers keep raising the barrier to entry. Same thing happened with blogs which bifurcated (good writers became "blogojournalists", bad writers ended in the gutter of facebook). So yes, we have a "new TV", but that's not fundamentally different than ... TV . Same could go for podcasts, a rehash of radio / talk shows.
They are probably referring to the fact that 1/2 the payroll tax is paid by the employer. The employee does not pay this tax, and it is directly paid by the employer for every employee.
They help a little. But there are so many more ways of introducing vulns to C++ programs than just double frees and use-after-free. Replacing all your pointers with shared_ptr won't give you a safe program. Not even close.

>The Soviet version includes some plot elements left out of Jackson’s $93m blockbuster, including an appearance by the character Tom Bombadil, a forest dweller cut from the English-language version because he was too long-winded and failed to move the plot forward.

Someone involved with this piece is still bitter that Tom Bombadil was cut from the trilogy.
Try this for size: Are you feeling effective at what you currently do? Is there any tangible reason why that would change for the worse in the upcoming year?

If not, you are doing fine. There is absolutely nothing out there that obviously and significantly increases your output by dropping whatever tooling you are effective with already and switching as of this time. I have looked. It's sobering.
I find it excellent on my C9 and my older early 2016 model (both are pretty much the same).
It's not a feeling, it's an observation. Technology is like a tree, branching infinitely in all directions.

When I was a baby web developer, just knowing CSS on top of HTML was considered advanced. (This was back when the bleeding edge was using tables for layouts.)

Today, I can't keep up with all the different ways there are to do something as simple as loading a web page.

This splintering is true in every area of tech.

At first it freaked me out, but I've accepted two things:

1) The only option is pick a path and specialize in it, knowing there will always be things I won't know. There's nothing wrong with learning new ways, of course. And often that's necessary. But I've given up on trying to master all of them.

2) Just because something is new and popular doesn't make it right. The proliferation of frameworks for otherwise simple things (like loading mostly static web pages) is one such example.

> Falling prices would lead to less production to match.

Eventually, as firms go out of business. The trend arises from the difference between "break even" and "shut down" prices, and consequent delays in the feedback: it takes some years for producer firms to be removed from the market.

If prices fall for long enough, the idea of falling prices becomes entrenched in households' planning, making everything worse still.

So it would be like a criminal trial and be swayed by emotion and presentation-- not the law. I would imagine companies would just move out of the country's jurisdiction, be founded elsewhere, or shut down. I think this would devolve into show trials led by fickle public opinion. Sounds like a bad idea.
That is still just improvement on what's already available. Next level will be obvious when it is available. It could be VR or AR or something so radical we can't imagine it but it has to be like computer to typewriter improvement. It does everything old technology did but it also opens the door to a whole new level of development.
"There is no central medical database or significant communication between hospital systems."

I find this somewhat astonishing and deeply troubling. How can patients or doctors truly make informed decisions if they are not in fact well informed? This is not right at all.
Reusable rockets were developed by a private company 30 years before SpaceX.[1] Using such rockets as first stages is what SpaceX did first, I give them that. But it's more of a means to an end than an achievement. The savings so far are much lower than claimed. Deploying LEO satellites is nothing new. StarLink is burning a lot of money and it is questionable if they will ever become profitable.

I don't think that it was complete fantasy but unsolved Engineering problem. It's not like she promised something unscientific like faster than speed travel or free energy device.

Also, Tesla too failed on cost and quality control issues until they stopped failing.

Yes, she apparently faked the tests but faking till making is nothing new in SV. With all that money, she could have bought a manufacturer or lease buy and rebrand from Siemens by adding something on the top of it. Many big names start by acquiring their parts from OEMs. She could have build on top of some less known European company that sucks at the software UX, for example and keep kicking the can down for the one one drop blood tests. When asked what is going on, give a presentation about the challanges and about the work you did and say that it's going to be ready in 2 years.

Yes, the Doctor likely makes to much to even deduct the interest on student loans from their taxes where a company could in effect deduct both the interest and principal from those student loans as an expense.

Deducting every cost associated with a job would be a huge tax benefit that simply doesn’t apply to people. It’s one of the ways that referring to tax burdens based on income as defined by the tax code is misleading.
>"the costumes and sets are rudimentary, the green-screen effects are ludicrous, and many of the scenes look more like a theatre production than a feature-length film"

Actually officially it was "telespactakle" - which basically is theatre production but made for TV instead of being played on live stage. So no surprise here.

Interesting - WebOS 3.x is pretty old now, until recently I had an old early 2016 model that had WebOS 3.5 or 4.0 (I forget which) on it and it seemed fine, I've never tried using a browser on any of my TVs though so maybe that wouldn't have been a good experience for me either.
Not anymore. Kindergarten is now more academically focused to prepare children for 1st grade. This seems to have changed due to No Child Left Behind.
Those changes are often political incentives to sellers of the capital equipment. If you want to stimulate the sales of earth moving equipment or business jets, allow buyers to write it off faster. (Frankly, I’d rather encourage the sale of durable productive equipment than other types of tax incentives which stimulate less future productive activity.)

Sure, but Geopackage is a transport format: it describes itself as "a format for transferring geospatial information".

Spatialite is a spatial analysis database: it describes itself as "a complete and powerful Spatial DBMS (mostly OGC-SFS compliant".

They both use the same container, SQLite. And indeed there are other geospatial formats built on SQLite, such as mbtiles. But the intents are very different.

What's the typical income in this country, in America if you're talking about a $700 phone, and you make $70,000 a year it's not completely unreasonable to replace it every year.

But if you're making $15,000 a year, spending $30 to repair your $700 phone makes much more sense.

When I run docker on my laptop, the fans turn on full speed and stay there (recent macbook pro). I kill docker any time I don't expect to use it in the next hour. If I'm not on AC power, it halves my battery life. I wouldn't even consider keeping docker running constantly. Is this not the normal experience?
Data-driven everything in tech but when it's about putting a number on society it's suddenly irrelevant?

The right question to ask is why and the next what to do about it if this trend is not desirable.
And on the other hand they want Java, which is hardly a "latest tech".
That sounds sure to spur a lot of productive activity and long-term investing to support same.

Hello fellow 6T owner. I got it just about three years back, the battery is in perfect shape and the phone doesn't have a scratch on it. If I take off the protection, it can genuinely pass off as new.

I'm never getting a phone without an armor again. That thing has fallen so many times on hard concrete and is completely untouched.
You would be partially correct.

We have a problem with our tap water whereas estrone, estradiol, estriol, and ethinylestradiol are forever chemicals that are not removed from the water. Hormone replacement therapy and contraceptives are >90% of the source of these.

If you don't filter the water you drink you are experiencing low grade intake of estrogens. This is what water filters are meant to remove and they do. Hence why we have such a huge 'water filter' industry.

It doesn't stop there and why you are partially correct. BPA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A

The problem with BPA is that BPA is a xenoestrogen, exhibiting estrogen-mimicking, hormone-like properties.[6] Although the effect is very weak, the pervasiveness of BPA-containing materials raises concerns.

If you microwave plastic container holding food. You almost certainly have put a xenoestrogen into your food. Sure we have sort of banned BPA from baby bottles but we haven't done anything to the average person.

We are still going: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoestrogen

Soybeans, Flaxseeds, lentils, etc. All pretty high in isoflavones. Which act like estrogens. Many studies have proven that eating soy or similar foods while in menopause gives benefits in reducing problems. Because of 'conflicting studies' and therefore there's no conclusions and we just keep going forward.

When you put all of these sources of estrogen together. You are absolutely producing a hormone replacement therapy on tons of people.

when women get too much estrogens they become 'estrogen dominant' obviously. https://chapelhillgynecology.com/signs-of-estrogen-dominance...

You also get general problems of HRT symptoms in men.
I understand why the rule exists. What I don’t understand is why a similar rule doesn’t exist for people.

Here’s another example of where it could help. Take two men, one earns $75k/year (let’s say inflation adjusted) for thirty years as a bus driver. The other plays in the NFL for 1 year makes $2MM and thereafter only makes $250k over the next twenty five years. They’ve made the same amount of money over their lifetimes but the second man paid much higher taxes.
When I got my Tesla a couple of years ago. I ended up getting it with FSD, not because I had much faith in Tesla pulling off FSD, but that was the only way to get active cruise control.
The lane follow and active cruise control that my HW2 hardware supports are nice, and I use them a lot. But anyone that thinks that, that is in the vicinity of self driving are naive. They are definitely parts of what you would need for self driving, but only small parts at best.
Maybe things are better with HW3, and I'll probably switch to HW3 this summer. But I have less faith in Tesla pulling off self driving for my car now, than I had when I bought it.
Have you got a reference for the 1989 discovery of double descent? I brief Googling didn't unearth it. I'm not "citation needed"-ing you. I think a lot of decision-tree and boosting work is being rediscovered by the DL community. I would love to see the original discovery.

Facepalm. I don't know what b-school geniuses think it's a good idea to revive this, but the execs at what-became-a-holding-company of SCO made millions throughout the trial, so I guess it makes sense to someone, somewhere, in a twisted, patent-troll like way. Maybe it's just that the claims are so grand, that, if they can get a fraction of the damages they claim, they'll get a return on the litigation investment.

As someone who was trying to evangelize Linux in my Fortune 250 at the time, I was dismayed by this whole saga, because it had its intended effect. One particular manager (who simply didn't like me) used news of the trial to cast FUD on my efforts to promote that we should be doing more with Linux, and less with Windows.

I've read every bit of news on this. I digested Groklaw daily at the time. I've bitched about it time and time again on this forum, and many others. In all of this reporting and commenting, I've never seen any reference to WHO was behind helping SCO, inside of Microsoft. I want to know who the people were that made these decisions, and greenlit the transfer of money. I want f*king names. I mean, I'm sure Bill and Steve had to sign off on the amount of money involved, but who engineered it, and brought it to them? I want to know what else they've done in their career. Were they professional hatchet men? Or were they otherwise successful product people?
What's with the fad where articles start by describing how a random person overpacked? It's such a cliche by now, yet I see it everywhere.
National Sales Tax - tax the purchase of goods at services. Then it doesn't matter where the corporation has their HQ. No import tax needed.
That really depends on the parents I would say. My kids watch about zero linear ad riddled TV and YouTube, because we don't have a TV. They do get to watch Netflix, NextTube and Disney+. And various educational programs that are streamed ad free online. That at least limits their exposure to advertising, though some shows are basically advertisements for cheap plastic toys (paw patrol, fireman sam) and we disagree if they are allowed.
