To be blunt, I mostly want to escape the world of wage work and make money. Not an obscene amount, but perhaps more than I would otherwise.
As discussed in other comments, the notional problem doesn't actually exist. The article was simply wrong on the Delaware Loophole in general; it still works in a handful of small states but it hasn't worked in any respectably sized state for longer than most people on HN have been alive.

Apple wouldn't get a California deduction for its "payment" of a "royalty" to Delawapple for an iPhone sold in California. It would get assessed a tax on the income it makes selling the iPhone to a buyer.

Note also: sales tax is a tax owed by the buyer of a good, not the seller. It is simply collected by the seller because it is more efficient for the seller to handle sales tax remittances than for each of their customers to do so. It's less overall work, it's easier to audit, and the seller can simply send the collected amounts in with their other periodic tax payments.
What precise number representation do you want that's free of such "surprises"?
I've heard that Saudi maps literally just show ocean where Israel is. But because Israel and SA are both friends of the Americans, that amount of literal demapping is tolerated.

I wonder, given the greater cultural similarities and Iran's success in the Yemeni civil war, whether Israel will throw in with Iran against the Saudis once the US presence in the region becomes irrelevant.
I wonder same, I don't like Modi much, but my parents and relatives in India feel proud to vote for Modi. I recently watched a video by Shekhar Gupta [1] that put some light on why Modi keep wining despite of failing to boost economy, you can read too [2]

Having worked with email once before, I would love to have had this around, but the server side solution puts me off a bit. For instance, I don't want to send user PII data through your platform just to get the email contents. I understand there needs to be monetisation though.

Another thing to note, the example offered makes it look like templates are public and don't require API keys? Or are user uploaded templates private
I totally agree with everything Mr. Gates says.

I would like to urge you to take notes digitally though. A long time ago, I started taking notes on Evernote while I am reading and this changed how much information I retain.

Now, my notes are interlinked and organized around subjects. I can reach what I have read or what I have thought about a subject while I was reading about a book about it almost instantly.

The only downside with taking your notes digitally is that you have to tend to your notes and weed out the bad ones constantly.
Make equality checks illegal, and instead define specific operations for contains and overlaps.
Their summary of Mysql 5.6 (https://0.30000000000000004.com/#mysql) isn't telling the whole story.

"SELECT .1 + .2;" does return 0.3

However,

CREATE TABLE t1 (f FLOAT);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(0.1),(0.2);
SELECT SUM(f) FROM t1;
// returns 0.30000000447034836

Which feels odd to me.

In python, 0.3 prints as 0.3, but it's a double, so it should be 0.299999999999999988897769753748434595763683319091796875 (according to the article, and the 0.1+0.2 != 0.3 trick also works)

What controls this rounding?

e.g., in an interactive python prompt i get:

>>> b = 0.299999999999999988897769753748434595763683319091796875
>>> b
0.3
Golly. Surprised by floating point arithmetic?

1.99999999.... == 2.0

There are limits to computer representation of floating point numbers. Computers are finite state, floating point numbers are not.

Kubernetes is as anti-lock-in as you can get when it comes to cloud platforms. Which makes sense when you think it's the #3 competitor who mostly sponsors it - on the whole, lock-in benefits the market leader, so commoditization works to upstarts advantage.
It’s treated like an accepted fact though, not an opinion. That’s intellectually lazy.
Except restricting what a user can do with their system does not significantly improve security. It removes the freedom and powers walled gardens.
In R, there are functions for practical equality (to within a tolerance that makes sense on the local machine), e.g.

and functions for actual equality, e.g.

> identical(0.1+0.2,0.3)
[1] FALSE
I agree with your wider point but...

Launching a satellite means you can put a warhead anywhere on earth and no one can stop it. It's a achievement in rocketry, not whatever is on the end of the rocket. The actual satellite could be a crushed car for all anyone cares.
I've set up smokeping a number of times over decades. Always a minor pain until the most recent one...

I used a docker container, and it was a breeze! `sudo docker run -it -p 8000:80 -e WIPE=y -e TARGET="ISP;NextHop;$IP" -d dperson/smokeping`

It's not the DE that makes things fast or slow (although disabling composition may indeed help with making GTK3 apps run faster on the PinePhone, but that's mostly because GTK3 renders in software and it bottlenecks on PinePhone's RAM bandwidth).
Gimp has made some usability improvements, but I agree it is still painful to use.

When Blender finally bit-the-bullet and overhauled their UI - in a way that more aligned itself with how other keys/clicks worked in similar tools - it totally relaunched itself and is now so much easier to use.

It would be great it Gimp (and inkscape) did a similar overhaul IMHO.
Yeah, you call tan() on that number, and suddenly your interval is like most of the number line. Actually, you don't even have to be that fancy: if the number is close to epsilon, the error bars on 1/x would be huge.
An iPhone 12 with bumped storage and sales tax is about $1000. Apple probably sells roughly 200 million phones a year that cost at least $800? I'm not sure how many premium smartphones Samsung sells these days.

I'm not sure how you can consider that another universe? It's a pretty big market right here on planet Earth?
Your comment is a great metaphor of the precise thing you are arguing against. "Who wouldn't love to wipe Israel off the map?" then a few paragraphs about Ahmednijad never said that, this is a miscommunication, there's no animosity between Israel and Iran (Iranian propaganda repeatedly talks about wiping Israel off the map, just check up Wikipedia on Ahmednijad).
Absolutely second this. Would love some better competition in this space. Especially something that plays nicely with Linux.
I think what's often missing from these discussions is the cost of the professional sports( excluding maybe chess). Football is probably the best example,where clubs spend astronomical amounts of money on players. Right now it's probably cheaper to get NASA to send a few people to the space station than to get 2 full football teams. And this gets more and more expensive with each additional layer before it even reaches the end consumer.

To me, the big sports industry ( F1, Football, Basketball,etc.) is where the film/music industry was 10-15 years ago,when every monkey in the world did Emule and Torrents and then along came Netflix and Amazons of this world and now we pay pennies for it.
This is the one I always go with in terms of things my kids won't do, but I'm a couple of years away from having them, so I'm pretty confident.

You'll probably be pretty close in any case... a decade is a lot of time.
At some point theaters and movie studios need to have variable pricing for movies. All first run movies being the same price is silly and leaves a ton of money on the table. May be one way it gets to be more like theater.
EDIT: Thanks to commenters below, looks like my concerns aren't valid after all -- CDG has a train station and airlines there sell air tickets with a train connection. I didn't know about either of those -- seems like France has this figured out in a way other places haven't.

(original comment below)

I can appreciate the logic behind a ban on this for single-hop trips.

But if you're flying into a hub and want to connect to a smaller city -- e.g. Paris to Lyon -- switching to a train is massively inconvenient. You've got to travel into Paris (an hour?) and then take another 2-hour train, after you're already tired from your transcontinental flight.

So... do I have this right that I won't be able to fly from New York to Lyon, it just won't exist even though they both have airports? I'll have to fly into Paris and add 3 hours to my already-long trip and make a totally separate train booking, and worry about if lose the train ticket if the flight is delayed?

Or because Paris as a hub is out of the picture, will I just book a flight via Brussels (New York -> Brussels -> Lyon) because that will still be fine...

...and burn a ton more CO2 because I'm forced to take a longer flight because France banned shorter ones?

Is it an OS thing or a hardware thing? I like the idea of using something like postmarketOS to repurpose an old smartphone, but I agree for long term use the battery might not be a good idea (especially if the hardware tries to keep it at 100%).
It's been done, there are libraries out there.
“Decapping” is a more intense version of delidding where you use chemical agents or something similarly extreme (laser, plasma, milling) to remove the package (ceramic, plastic).

My understanding is that there are people who do it often enough that it is automated in the way you describe, but you still need someone with a lot of skill to spend serious time on it. Computer vision works wonders but there are errors which must be identified and fixed.

A lot of the chips people care about are can just be done optically, no electron microscope needed.
Not at all. For all it's faults, floating point is incredibly fast. It's not some convenience hack that we lazy programmers have come up with, it's an incredibly quick way to do numerical computation. It will always have it's place (sometimes even in finance to represent money, to many people's shock).
You can add in quadrature amplitude modulation. Reusing bandwidth is a a fascinating field. It's not as simple as 1 bit per Hz

Dem/Rep are just two big coalitions in the US, and with first past the post voting, it's nearly impossible to have more than two parties in the long term.
The underlying problem is one of O-R impedance mismatch. Going full SQL and getting rid of the ORM is a possible answer, but it has tradeoffs and is not a silver bullet. It might mean re-creating from scratch an in-house, bug-ridden ORM, or ditching OOP idioms from your language, or both.

The author of TFA seems to be going through one of the stages described in "ORM is the Vietnam of Computer Science", an article that should be mandatory reading before one claims to know the solution to this decades old problem.

GG&S is an interesting book, but extremely conjectural and ideological, and not well-sourced. Some of the evidence is distorted. Off the top of my head, he reproduces a table of grain yields, and when tracking down his sources for this, it turns out that he's omitted results that contradict his theory. The reasoning is sometimes shaky or circular: 'Why do we know X wasn't domesticable? Because it wasn't domesticated.' Etc. etc. I don't find his theory holds up particularly well.
Of course not. That's what happens when Israel doesn't rule over that territory any longer. Can Israelis vote on the government of Gaza?

Or, you know, we could apply a decade of research on market design to design an optimal outcome given user preference lists? Economists have long studied the concept of "gaming-free" mechanisms, i.e. your optimal outcome is only available if you reveal your true preferences.

Propose the problem to a market design economist on Twitter and they'll solve it for you just for fun (and maybe write a paper).
And I'd also argue Windows update being so bad is an outlier. I now have one Windows machine in my house and I'm astonished updates still take so long and also prevent you from doing anything else while they install. This is one area that Microsoft really lags behind the competition.
> The misleading action is to compare the input notation of 0.1 and 0.2 to the printed output of the sum, rather than consistently compare nothing but values printed using the same precision.

I think the problem is the act of caring for the least significant bits.

If you care for least significant bits of a floating point number it means you are doing something wrong. FP numbers should be treated as approximations.

More specifically, the problem above is assuming that floating point addition is associative to the point of giving you results that you can compare. In floating point order of operations matters for the least significant bits.

FP operations should be treated as incurring inherent error on each operation.

IEEE standard is there to make it easier to do repeatable calculations (for example be able to find regression in your code, compare against another implementation) and for you to be able to reason about the magnitude of the error.
Or, extensive experience has shown that it is best used as an adjunct to textual programming.
Banning domestic flights won’t stop the habits of the wealthy; they fly private personal planes. What the ban likely will cause is an increase in the cost of travel, which hurts middle class people.
I seriously miss movie theaters. The movie theater experience is such a great group of friends activity.

Plus, Marvel has gotten so good at turning it into a crowd participation activity. It’s almost like going to a sporting event from a crowd energy perspective.

During the pandemic I’ve watched those “Audience Reaction” videos on YouTube a lot just because I miss it so much.
First there was Ant. Ant was bad. Then there was Maven. Maven bad less bad. But still bad. Then there was Gradle. Gradle was even less bad. But still bad. Show me the build tool - I'll show you the bad.

My main gripe is that it changed so quickly. All my notes quickly became useless. And it was slow. Gradle daemon promised to help. And it did help. (And became even more of a resource hog) But it was still bad. Show me the build tool - I'll show you the bad.

If you are on iOS and your bulbs work with Apple's Home app (which most seem to these days), you can set that up and just swipe up from the bottom of the screen and use the quick controls. Works quite well. I think a similar thing is possible on Android with the Google Home app, and more vendors seem to support that.
This was given as an example, not for you to straw man about the gamepad.

...and has caused a lot of catastrophic losses. The formula depends on a normal distribution and financial returns are random but not independent. They are not normal.

The formula works, mostly, but when it does not it is worse than useless. Financial gains and losses are in the tails, and the tails are no where near normal
Thanks, I know about them, but it's on the site only as far as I know and I'm leaving soon. Their methods are quite extreme for my taste also, heard some bad story.
From my experience ORMs are good time savers when you have relatively simple query needs, but fall down when things get really complex.
That might be true for Iran. But I don't see it as an issue, because obviously Iran wants to do so to protect them from foreign invasion, just like North Korea managed to get in position where nobody would want to risk invading them. It's not an ideal situation where one should get deadliest weapon ever to bring peace to the country, but at least it seems to work.
You are probably doing a bit simpler stuff, if that basic tutorial suffices you. I should have maybe added that I do Android development with Gradle. There you don't as much start with an empty build file to write the tasks to compile your project, but instead have to navigate a pre-existing large build file and figure how to correctly use the Google and Gradle interfaces to integrate to the Android build tools, such as the dreaded AGP (Android Gradle Plugin). Which by the way is actually mostly undocumnented AFAIK!
It's not a racist way of thinking. It's a fact. Race and heritage play a massive role in the wants and needs of people. Just look at voting records in the US (or any country) and you'll find that racial blocs often vote together.
You mean "real numbers".

Floating point numbers are one way of approximating real numbers on computers.

Not really? Librem 5 easily beats the PinePhone when it comes to active usage time on battery (although it does have a battery with higher capacity). Where PinePhone currently wins is suspend time with the CPU completely turned off, as Librem 5 does not use suspend at all right now and just relies on cpuidle.
Also, since the Wayfair decision, pretty much any interstate income is taxable where the customer is located if you do enough business in that state (usually an income threshold, but in many states its a number-of-transactions threshold).

Locating in Delaware literally saves you nothing in paying taxes; indeed, it actually costs a tiny bit more, tax-wise, than locating in your primary state of business.

But on the note of other compliance expenses: being incorporated in Delaware increases your compliance costs. You're now subject to suit in Delaware and whatever states you actually do business in (including especially whatever state your HQ is located in). So, for example, you don't avoid exposure to CA law if you have CA customers (and many state consumer protection rights can't be waived by a ToS or by a signed contract). And you don't need to be incorporated in Delaware to include a jurisdiction clause in your B2B contracts.

Delaware is useful in the limited situation that you are a corporation with a complicated capital structure that needs a management-friendly, shareholder-averse court system.

Legality under international law doesn't depend on genetics or where you were born. That is kind of the whole point...
This is not a trivial decision because rational numbers can have an unbounded denominator and it can cause a serious performance problem. Python explicitly ruled rational numbers out due to this issue [1]. There are multiple possible answers:

- Keep rational numbers; you also have an unbounded integer so that's to be expected. (Well, unbounded integers are visible, while unbounded denominators are mostly invisble. For example it is very rare to explicitly test denominators.)

- Use decimal types with precision controlled in run time, like Python `decimal` module. (That's still inexact, also we need some heavy language and/or runtime support for varying precision.)

- Use interval arithmetic with ordinary floating point numbers. (This would be okay only if every user knows pitfalls of IA: for example, comparison no longer returns true or false but also "unsure". There may be some clever language constructs that can make this doable though.)

- You don't have real numbers, just integers. (I think this is actually okay for surprisingly large use cases, but not all.)

Is it? The language appears to (at least somewhat) make use of syntax that is inspired by the specific way the Cree language works.
There exists no representation without "surprises" and it is easy to show why that must be.

The closest you can get is some systems like Matlab/Octave that specialize in working with numbers.
What's stopping you then? If you can do it on your desktop, you can also do it on the Librem 5.

I recently bought a few smart bulbs for my desk, which are always connected to power. But I also bought a physical switch that controls them. It's instant and turns them all on or off simultaneously.

To be honest I almost always use the switch, including changing the color. Cycling through colors with a button is still more convenient than opening an app and picking one. I really only use the app when I need to control individual lights.
I did professional research on DBMS technology and still only got 67% right :-( Maybe it's because I've only ever watched 2 Pokemon episodes.
>I'm not wearing VR to your virtual meeting.

Can we be so certain of this, especially given the events of the last year? If VR technology had been perfected at the time, it seems very likely to me that instead of a shift to Zoom at the outbreak of the pandemic, many companies, government agencies and (especially) schools would have made the move to VR. It will be interesting to see how VR is integrated into our every day lives (both voluntarily and otherwise) as it is perfected.

Personally,both do appeal to me.
Some beers with friends, relaxing on a couch and watching some easy going film sounds like a nice Saturday night.

On the other side,I love going to cinema- the smell of overpriced popcorn, big screen and the same exciting feeling I get when I see a studio logo and know that the film is about to start. And I can always throw some popcorn at those who think having their phones on is a good idea:)
If I want to laugh at work I just look at some of the code I wrote 6 months ago.
