Yes and no. This issue was perhaps X lines of code away from accidentally transferring the contents of your files (or login email and password!) to Facebook, or a malicious attacker.

For one, this highlights they don't have automated tests detecting arbitrary/malicious JS injection on their web app. This is a serious security risk: we are talking about your cloud filesystem here, and "spear phish / bribe your marketing intern to adding malicious.js" is a real attack vector.

Alarms should be going off internally whenever a new external JS file gets included in your webapp, either ststically or dynamically. Facebook pixel today, a malicious hacker tomorrow.

I'd expect a private cloud to have better security procedures than "wait till someone on Twitter discovers a bug".

(Personally, I will continue to use Backblaze, but just highlighting why it's a serious security concern.)
Thank you for having let me discover Espanso, it's exactly what I needed!

So it's your point of view that the NYT's shouldn't be doing journalism, but advocacy? Readers don't get to make up their minds, but get spoon fed just what they need to know as determined by their betters? It's a brave new world you're creating.
Yep, and it's much likelier that a diamond (or any other stone) is lost, rather than damaged.
I does vary widely, but the weighted majority of all such cases are in California (and NY might be next.) Those two states happen to have among the highest state taxes also.

Consider this: Where were the last 20 major IPOs? The last 20 major acquisitions? Where were the founding teams (i.e., the ones with the most stock facing such issues.)
...I'll bet 80% or more of these were in CA. I'm only pointing this out because once you're a super-successful startup and you've gone thru all the steps for a successful liquidity event, there is the final bath of taxes :-/
>That's bad

Nice generalization. Tell to that to the thousands of absolutely massive companies running on server-rendered HTML how they need to adopt cutting edge JS.
You have taxes deducted from your salary but the company pays an additional payroll tax on top of this, outside of your salary.
They haven’t yet explained the series of events that lead to GTM being included on non-marketing pages. That’s the main worry.
I was fortunate enough to inherit a few pieces of diamond jewelry. Imagine my surprise when I went to try to sell it! It's not uncommon to only be able to sell something for 1/3 of the appraisal value.

When it came time to get married, I did not want a diamond ring.
My "old is new" setup is similar in spirit but quite different in effect.

I use rails, postgres, and docker. The only weird thing in the stack is that I use a pretty big base image - the ubuntu base image.

Where I need SPA-like performance, I use react-rails to just do that little bit in React.

Rails has so many batteries included, I just can't imagine being as productive in anything less mature.
> Please do use Arial. I find it better than about 95% of the choices done by "people that care about typography".

It may be better than 95% of the choices done by people who try to differentiate by picking a non-default font for the sake of picking a non-default font, which is certainly worse than just keeping the default, but I doubt very much that it is better than even 5% of the choices made by people who care about typography.
My understanding is that many USB-C adapters limit voltage, which screws over good headphones. Also from experience of using a DAC via USB-C everyday for many years, they're really really unreliable.

We have progressive taxation for individuals - why not for corporations?

I don't have an army of accountants to avoid the corporate tax rate for my small business. So as a percentage I pay vastly more taxes than the multinationals.

Why can't we have varying rates depending on the size of the business?* Bigger businesses have a bigger tax rate. This would also incentivize organizations to stay small.

*Calculating the size of a business is tricky. Is it revenue based? Number of employees? Does it change per sector? Anyways, I'm sure it's possible to find a decent set of metrics.

I work at a company where EAs are assigned to multiple people. As in, John Doe is an EA for Alice, Bob, Carson, and Dave.

They do the basic EAs things: Check emails, schedule meetings, review finance reports, etc. I doubt it's anywhere close to what Christine's EA does, but the idea that you're juggling the tasks of multiple people sounds like insanity to me. I hope they're well-paid.
Yes, because I don't find Samsung annoying. Back in the Nexus days and a few years after, stock Android was king. Since then, Samsung cleaned up TouchWiz and then made OneUI with an even better accessible UX.

I say this with the caveat that no phone UX is perfect. I can see flaws in all of them. But right now, I prefer OneUI and it's level of out-of-the-box customization over stock. (Ex: You could hide the on-screen navbar and make all apps immersive with/without gestures)

I'd even argue Samsung has been doing a lot of the heavy lifting of adding new features to Android. Google frequently adds features that were previously only available on Samsung (and sometime other vendors) for generations. I've noticed when Google adds the same features, I find the UX to be a downgrade from what I was used to. This is because Samsung then adds the Google flavor (more taps!) and removes their own. I'm still annoyed at the latest camera UX and multi-window.

Then there's Samsung's hardware. The Wacom EMR S-Pen has become a must have for me. Also I've come to rely on Samsung Pay, which WAS the best mobile payment app (more on that later). Samsung has hardware in their devices that allows them to write to any magnetic strip reader on any POS system. This works everywhere NFC/Google Pay/Apple pay aren't available.

All that being said, I like Samsung a lot less than I used to. As of last year, ads have suddenly clogged up their software. (Want to pay for groceries using your phone? Look at this ad first!) Also Samsung Pay is being removed from newer devices, probably to make room for 10 more camera lenses. Sorry, NFC is still not everywhere.

Between the ads, removal of Samsung Pay, removal of features in general, and the lower screen resolutions of S20/S21s, I won't be upgrading to a new Samsung any time soon. There's also this homogenization of Android becoming more Apple-like and Apple becoming Android-like. At this point I'm seriously considering Apple, especially if they make a smaller Apple pencil to be used on phones.

Yes, and without too much effort one can also just shop online at other retailers (in case one lives way out in a rural area). Maybe free 2-day shipping won't happen at other places, but free shipping and equivalent prices are easy to find.
Investors almost always pay a minimum of 40% in taxes on earnings from their investments in corporations.

First the corporation pays 20% (soon to be 28% again) on the profits. Then it pays state income taxes on the remaining profits (0-11%). Then the investor pays capital gains or dividend taxes (10-20%). Finally they pay their state taxes (0-12%).
nothing, really. all technologies will be unified because apple style vendor lock-in will simply not work for this type of business/product. the analogy with LG is good because in the beginning, many companies will be jumping on the band wagon and after one or two decades of making big money, only those with lowest margins and best optimization and manufacturing efficiency will stay as the falling margins will make it not worth for most companies. from this point of view, i would say the biggest car brands will keep standing, like VW, with few niche brands for the rich and "petrol heads", like Tesla or possibly Apple where it will not be about price and value but simply about image. Oh, and some micro brands that will offer the utmost cheap cars possible for those that truly just need the utility of it and nothing else...this will most likely be Chinese brands since this is what they are good at.
Are you saying that 40% of tax is less than 20% of tax? I don't follow.
My point is that the tax should be linear with tax free allowance. That is everyone pays 20% on income above tax free allowance.
You can call it a progression, but this way anyone can level up if they want to. If you add 40% and more further down the line you are slowing down how people from poor background can improve their living.

Not as likely, but still fun to speculate about is biological life being a transitory phenomena as Paul Davies (of SETI) postulates. Once you've become a machine civilization (either we build them or upload ourselves and become them), travel at lightspeed becomes possible and so do all kinds of nifty ideas.
I found this very painful to read, it's painfully slow to get to the point...actually, it doesn't even answer the question posed in the title.

> Just as we need to adjust for price inflation, accounting for non-market sources of income is an essential part of making meaningful welfare comparisons over time.

The article never says how they account for non-market sources of income, i.e. those things without a price. I'm sure there's a dozen links to various papers, but I expect the question posed in the article to be answered in the article, rather than be fobbed off with pat tautologies such as "historians know about history"!
“Another comment correctly pointed out that we would not treat this as laissez faire if it was a child, but we should. There is a victim who has had harm done to them during the creation of the video.”

‘Think of the children!’ is such an overused moral bulwark. The people in power who would handle this regulation others in this thread are begging for are using that argument to defeat encryption.
I'm kind of surprized that the Pixel line isn't considered the "flasgship of flagships" by more people given that it's literally the flagship first-party manufactured device by the OS creator. It's the closest thing to the iphone experience with android. If you use Fi, messages mimics imessages (in that you can use it online) and your service, device, and OS all come from the same company and you get the most out of the box google-intended Android experience.
I do have a bias against front end development being from my perspective quite a mess, in the same way that physical scientists often look at the social sciences, though the social sciences are still quite important. But for what it's worth, I consider myself somewhere in that median band, and my perspective is motivated by and applies to front end as much as other parts of software dev/delivery.

I agree you can tell the difference, though I would place blame for those situations more on an organization than the developers who get shifted toward that work out of their specialization. It could be some dubious values, but it also could be project budgets.

Schedule some interviews and take a week or two of PTO to get those interviews back to back and secure a new job.

Once you get get a job offer tell them you can't start for a month. If that's ok with them, accept and put in your 2 weeks, and get 2 weeks unpaid in-between jobs to unwind before starting your new journey.

The last time I switched jobs, I even negotiated a 3-4 weeks paid leave as I had PTO I wanted to take from my previous job, but they wanted me to start earlier than 1.5 months (the date I gave them mentioning I wanted to take my vacation at my old job). They hired me and let me take 3 weeks off after working for 2 weeks and it was all on payroll not affecting my annual PTO hours.
Does it ? It kinds of depend on how you simulate the universe. There are shortcuts. Particles are not fundamental. Information is.

It begs the question : how much information is there in a drop of water ?

Does the algorithm has to simulate every one of the water molecules, or can it adaptively only needs to preserve the macroscopic quantities while preserving the consistency of the microscopic level (aka information conservation).

Most physical phenomenons exhibit some degree of self synchronization, and self similarity, witness of some kind of information redundancy. It happens at all scales of the universe, from particles which self-organize into crystals, spinning rocks coalescing into planets, stars forming black-holes to store information on their surface instead of the volume.

All these physics rules allow huge speed-up in computation, because once a quantity doesn't change, a billion years for a billion stars can go in an instant.

Information is conserved, but information wants to diffuse. That is the cosmic entropic battle which life is fighting.

Life are the computations which can't be shortcutted.
If you've been paying attention to the news in the past few years, its been increasingly obvious the lack of research and effort put into new posts. We live in the era of social media where the headline is the only thing that 99% of people read. The actual content of the article is irrelevant. People will be outraged for a second and then continue scrolling and completely forget it existed 5 minutes later. There is no economic incentive for journalists to do any real journalism.
To do it’s job as journalist institution.

Though, in the NYT’s case, they’ve been predictably going straight downhill since they adopted Fox News’ high level strategy of chasing, fanning and profiting from political and social polarization.

So, nobody’s holding their breath that NYT would rise to that challenge.

One of the best way to prepare for the future is to discuss with others what is possible, then make a probability map of those potential outcomes and act accordingly. Of course we don't know the answers, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't ask and prepare.
> Everyone already knows that many religious conservatives are in favor of denying treatment to HIV positive people belonging to social groups that they don’t like.

I'm sure there's malice, but I also get it. It's like --

Sometimes idiot hikers will set out into a wilderness with absolutely zero preparation, end up stranded in a life-threatening situation, and need to be helicoptered out of their plight for something like a million dollars of somebody else's money -- let's say the Park Service's.

No, I don't think they should be left to freeze to death, but if I'm funding the Park Service I have a right to be annoyed with them, especially if this isn't a one-off thing, but rather something that keeps happening.

In a world where antivirals cost a bajillion dollars, HIV can seem similar. "Get out of my risk pool."

But even from that perspective, this HIV vaccine is great. Give people the vaccine and now you aren't stuck paying for a lifelong prescription for Truvada or whatever else. Again, win-win.

Personally, when these vaccines get the kinks worked out, I will absolutely get them, even though I have zero intention of being at or of putting anyone at risk.

> It seems that what you’re saying here is rooted in some kind of stereotype of crazy hedonism, rather than a more realistic understanding of the psychology of unsafe sex.

If you delve into what has been written by radicals, you find all kinds of crazy shit, including the belief that STDs should be celebrated as a badge of courage. People as now-mainstream as Focault knowingly had unprotected sex, while HIV-positive, with anonymous men, wrapped it up (heh) in philosophical language, and sold it on to credulous academics. And there are other, slightly more fringe, characters whose names I forget; one guy I remember arguing that it was his political duty to "pos" people. To my ears this is batshit insanity and barely-disguised evil. Yet, though I know this thinking is not actually representative, it is often enough loudly defended (by trollish morons with no intention of living those values) for no reason other than that it's from "one of us". Conservatives are clearly reacting to that, in the age-old tradition of seeking out the worst crazy "the left" can provide.
I've had an S8 for two years. For a phone that's four years old, it's by far the best and most performant one I've had. Past phones I've had seemed to slow down noticeably, but with the S8 you barely notice it at all. I'm hoping to hold onto it for a few more years, and after that I'd love to continue down the Galaxy line.

A server has more compute power but only needed if the problem to solve requires such power. In my last company I developed a visual search system (similar to Google Image Search) and for that use cases a powerful server is required.
But for the problems this app try to solve like human detection or facial recognition, a mobile device is very capable of. In the last 2-3 years the new phones also has integrated AI chip, which make the task easier.

Why does a journalist institution have to go above printing Amazon's statements on the matter, and print their now disproven legal theories as well?
Well the simple answer is that they do contribute something back. Payroll taxes fund social security, medicare, and federal unemployment insurance. And of course they contribute indirectly by paying wages so that people can buy things and we can have an economy.

I am on the side of people wanting to see corporate tax avoidance stopped. But my first reaction on seeing this headline and reading the article is that if a bunch of businesses got together and decided to set rates, we'd accuse them of collusion and call them a cartel; if they were in the US, we'd all be yelling about antitrust.

IMO, trying to set a global minimum corporate income tax is addressing a symptom. I don't know what the real problem is, but "dang it, they reported their income in Ireland!" is definitely not the whole story.
The problem here is less “Pat” and more the managers or systems which allow Pat to reach the point in his career where he believes he is a good developer.

Some of Pat’s failings can be identified these days by code linters; and at least periodically if not in your CI on every push, listing should be done.

The usual problem is that the people deciding who to promote are not qualified or equipped to make sound judgements.
Samsung was also much more aggressive regarding incentives/commission for salespeople. At a Verizon store an employee might make $50-100 on selling a Samsung flagship vs $5 for an iPhone.

It's preferable because corporations die at a faster rate than States. Personally, I want to be a serf to no entity.
That's a very cynical view. Many things cannot be 'solved', but they can be ammeliorated.

Horrible. Everybody knows you should both remember and cringe at your own code months later.
In my opinion Netflix only cares about the bigger countries. For example, it's nearly impossible to get Dutch subtitles for any shows. It's always English, French, German, Spanish, Polish. Sometimes I am just too tired to read subtitles in English and want to read them in the mother tongue.

I don't know if this is just an issue with Netflix UK or the same happens on Netflix in the rest of Europe.
I find the concern about ML wiping out jobs to be someone misplaced. Similar to the fear of automation getting rid of jobs. Many more jobs came to fruition from the creation and maintenance of the machines. As well the machines opened up more strategic and dynamic creativity and thus allowed for the overall quality of life to increase immensely globally.

ML will likely have the same effect if it has as much of an influence as its supporters claim.

Except they run on Android not some proprietary OS. Buying out Samsungs mobile wing might achieve this if you go for their custom OS, but Microsoft is the last company that needs to buy anybody out for an OS. I kinda hope somebody does buy out LG's mobile division though.
I am sorry, I probably didn't word it too well. My point is that corporation may say that the tax a worker pays is actually their tax and they use that to justify why they pay next to no tax themselves.
For example it is said that Amazon pays little tax in comparison to their profits and politicians use the argument that Amazon provide jobs and the workers pays tax, as if it was the Amazon who pays those taxes.
Shifting the blame on the victim. One reason that workers pay so much tax is because corporations don't. Corporations then enjoy multi billion profits and workers barely can get by.
> "cars are not a necessity"

This is only potentially true in dense urban environments. Its not true in suburban and rural areas, at least in the US. The rural-to-urban transition won't occur fast enough for this to not be true for a few decades at very least.
