I'm not an economist, but wouldn't it have been better to tax the carbon emissions?

If you could offset the carbon emissions for 10 EUR, maybe add 12 EUR to the price of a ticket and use that money to buy carbon offsets? That way those who still want it can still fly, and we're at net negative emissions.
Clearly there's a reason if they're doing it! People are asking what that reason is.
That response is a well done description of how these things should be handled:

1. mitigate ASAP (pull or fix the update)

2. Make customers whole (anyone affected should be fixed no matter the hassle or cost - paying for Geek Squad is brilliant)

3. Determine how testing could have caught it and didn’t (does your CI include rebooting? Nonstandard configurations?)

4. Remove overlapping filenames

5. Be open about all the above

You don't say where your home country is or where your current citizenship is. Is always possible to immigrate but depending on where you're coming from it can be more difficult. Also, your financial situation can come into play as well. A number of countries offer retirement visas starting as young as mid-50s but most of those require some sort of proof of income.

Sadly Congress isn't going to fix this because it requires a much simpler tax system instead of one that is filled from end to end with special carve outs and rules.

When our current President subscribes to using tax law shenanigans to avoid paying taxes you can damn well bet much of the rest of Congress and high ranking state leaders will be found doing the same. One of the larger avenues of abuse is through S Corporations which let individuals shunt off income thereby avoiding certain types of taxes. It is also used by leadership of various charitable organizations to redirect money for purposes many would think fraudulent; like using them to buy homes for use by organization leadership or cover business jet ownership

In France, it mostly comes down to a price issue. On one hand, flights are massively subsidized and can be extremely cheap. On the other hand, train is not subsidized at all and can be pretty pricey.

Recently though, things are changing and making a Paris - Nice by train is becoming somewhat financially doable.
If you use Google Flights, you can specify the number carry-on/checked bags you want and Google will include the pricing info in its rankings of flights which is handy.

I don't agree that airlines (or really any travel provider) should be required to include travel time to/from city centers though because not everyone is going to go into city centers. However, that'd be an interesting feature to implement: a feature that lets users specify their actual destination to get a fuller picture of travel time.
And flights costing 29 EUR are simply a market (and policy) failure. In no reasonable sustainably operating economy would we ever have gotten into a situation of flights being cheaper than train trips.

Running anbox on Linux phone just feels like a less efficient way to run android.
I largely agree.

One issue with France is that their train system is very Paris-centric. Want to go from the Rennes northwest to the Toulouse in the southwest? Yeah, you’re going to go through Paris in the centre of the country.

Same with Bordeaux to Lyon. Takes about the same time driving as high-speed rail takes a horseshoe route.

My home country is India. I haven't heard of retirement visas, googling now. But mid 50s is more than a decade away for me, so that might not work, for now at least.
I certainly didn't mean to suggest we do everything internally... Just that we have some meaningful production capability at home.
No it does not.if it is faster to fly most people will choose to fly.
The plane industry is heavily subsidized and manages to get (IMO absurdly) low prices for some rides, and there are some situations where it's more convenient to take a plane than the train (for instance if you arrive from a long distance plane trip and are already at the airport).

French trains, especially the high speed ones, are very comfortable and "high efficiency". They can be pretty expensive however.
Just a friendly heads up, there are a few copy issues on that page, like

> AsLLCs are overseen at a state level. Any LLC that has been registered in that state, and conducts business there, is called a Domestic LLC.
Yeah, I will. I wasn't suggesting that I should continue using mine past 10 years (looking at the datestamp on it, it was actually made 3 years before I bought the house, so it is 17 years old). Just noting that many things around my house seem to be working well past when they should.

Looks like Walmart even has one that is the same brand (First Alert) as my current one and appears to use a compatible mounting plate for $7.67, so should be an easy replacement.

> I believe this is frequently considered a design mistake in Haskell.

More accurately, there's an impedance mismatch with how many people use strings. Text is a better fit for them.

The Haskell implementation is not purely functional. It is however well tested, and wicked fast. While it is immensely appealing to view Haskell as a "there is a God!" abstraction, one does well to often consider and exploit what is happening through the looking glass.

One sees this for example using `type ShowS = String -> String` to concatenate many small strings to later output all at once. A project I've been meaning to complete is to translate a fast parser of mine to Text, to see if I can get it to run as fast. I'm sure the response to that blog post will be amusing.

I'm completely done with centralized social media "apps." I'm not signing up for any more and other than HN I've stopped using all of them and recommended that my friends do the same (surprisingly, many have listened.)
The only answer is price in France, that's it. Time-wise that's about the same, trains are very fast and planes have a longer travel from the city center so that's even it out.
tl;dr Lawyer explains that RMS technically never defended the real rapist but only defended that other dude who was borrowing the rapist’s underage victims.
Also RMS really only claimed that the rape was maybe only 93% rape, a discussion that’s certainly much more important than the actual abuse that took place.

Lawyer then figures out he’s much, much smarter than all those snowflakes who demand RMS’s removal.
California actually started to waive this fee in year 1. "As of June 2020, the $800 franchise tax fee has been waived in the first year in California."

However even with this fee waived it still makes A TON OF SENSE to file your LLC in the beginning of the year vs the end (OR do a delayed effective filing https://www.startpack.io/blog/what-is-an-llc-delayed-effecti...)

Otherwise, you end up paying the annual fees twice in ~ 1 year.

Here's an example before CA started to waive this fee of how brutal this could be in CA for LLC owners:

California has an annual franchise fee tax of $800. This fee is due every calendar year, not every 12 months.

Calendar Year: January - December

Every 12 Months: 12 months from Today

So this means if you were to start an LLC that was "born" or "officially created" on December 31st, 2020, you would be responsible for paying the full $800 franchise tax fee for the year of 2020!

Fast forward to January 1st, 2022, one year and one day later, even though essentially only one year has passed by, instead of owing $800 to the state of California... you would owe $1600!

To make things worse, the first annual franchise tax fee payment is due within the first 3-4 months from when your LLC is formed, and from then on, due by April 15th each year. So if you were to create a California LLC that went in to existence on December 31st, 2020, you would have to pay $1600 in the first 5 months!
> Why do people always want to run all their Android apps?! Why not iOS and Windows apps too??

Yeah, that'd be great! Unfortunately Darling isn't running GUI apps yet even for desktop apps, but the start is there. Windows apps are frequently compiled for x86, so we'd need to plug together WINE+qemu, but it should work. Windows apps also aren't designed for mobile like Android, but in many cases I'd bet it can be made to work.
Peer review tells me that it's significantly less likely the researchers made mistakes handling the data, analyzing it, controlling for external causes, etc.

A peer-reviewed version also may change the wording of the abstract. The vaccine may be less effective on the South African variant than it is on the common strain, but if it's down to 85% from 95% we'll still do fine once a majority of people are immunized.
I feel exactly the same. I loved JavaFX and I sometimes dream of an alternative universe where software never went to browser and always stayed on the desktop. JavaFX might have been the king.
We are a pretty normal delaware c corp . If optimizing for not paying taxes, we'd probably focus on states like Texas, and divest from anyone and anything in California, but we haven't.

Bigger than our taxbill is our accountant, lawyer, etc bills, and in turn, their jobs get easier with delaware: they know it & it doesn't change as much as say California. More than taxes is day to day like big multiparty contracts , equity management, and more existentially, potential m&a. delaware law isn't federal law, but everyone knows it and follows it, so close enough.

it might feel expensive to start and maintain, but probably isn't when you look back at your actual costs. in addition, legal counsel will pressure you to reincorporate if you don't, which would be a double cost. would be my default choice if doing it again: only want to innovate in so many things, and unlikely for this to be one of the most important areas of the business to be extra clever on.
remember that now you're supposed to be in the train 20min in advance, and connecting across stations in Paris with heavy luggage and kids is a shit show (and a non-starter for foreigners, they just call a taxi, and as the most visited country in the world, this detail should matter)

But I hope it increases the frequency of bullet trains to and from CDG TGV, this train station never had a useful train time for my airplane. Lyon Airport is very easy to reach by train, too bad it has almost no airplane.
Trains are heavily subsidized in Europe. E.g. Germany paid 17 billions in a single year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_subsidies#Europe

How many 737s would that buy, per year? around 40-50? This is Germany alone, the rest of Europe is just the same
Ah yes. Because cryptocurrencies exist in a vacuum and are entirely independent of anything else in a country. Including people's ability to buy them (and no, I'm not talking about prohibitions on buying).

Besides, let me quote you to you. Emphasis mine:

"""

Being under a country's jurisdiction also seems to give the project legal accountability. I really wish this project success, and hope everything they do is audited properly to prevent corruption.

"""

Oh, look, cryptocurrencies are running into a real worl now. The project needs those "corrupt politicians, judges, lawyers, economists etc." to provide it with jurisdiction, legal accountability and auditing.
Are you forming a C Corp or an LLC? You'll need a registered agent regardless BUT you shouldn't pay too much for a registered agent!
Traditional contracts are required either way. Anything on the blockchain would still require a traditional real-world contract to back it up.

For ISAs, there isn't really any reason to put it on the blockchain unless the company is trying to sell it. Even then, the NFT on the blockchain would only be representative of the ownership, which still depends on the real-world contract. The contract would likely have provisions that the NFT is null and void if lost or stolen, as no reasonable company would voluntarily give up protections for their assets.

The most common reason to take a short domestic flight is that you just arrived on a longer international flight - hub and spoke. Fly into LA and the fly to San Diego kinda thing.

This may actually INCREASE emissions as now there will me smaller “direct” flights from out of country instead of them all going through major hubs.
Over 35 is bad. Over 40 is screwed, pretty much. Most countries work on point system, and it is all downhill after 40. Especially if one is single, because you lost family points.
The mention of looted columns reminded me of the Great Mosque of Cordoba. Its famous double tiered arcades were purely pragmatic height creating compromise as a result of the local Roman and Visigothic columns not being tall enough for the large interior space.

At least, that was the case when the mosque was built in the 8th century. When the mosque was expanded [0] on several occasions over the next few centuries they made sure to commission new copies of the columns. Why? So they could build double arcades just like Abd al-Rahman I. A pragmatic solution copied not out of pragmatism, but in order to claim legitimacy through aesthetic continuation (much like every neoclassical building ever).

[0] Friday mosques traditionally have to have enough capacity to contain the entire Muslim population for the Friday prayer, so as the city grows so must the mosque.
Say n = 3. You've got 3 people, all of whom are equally wealthy. Now make one of them richer. The other two are now poor. They weren't before, but now they are, by comparison if nothing else. It's a wealth distribution. You can't have an upper end without a lower end. Notice I'm not even insisting that the rich guy gets his wealth from the other two, but if he did, then the two are literally poorer as well.
It is but you wonder if the instability of a career is even more horrifying?

It is essentially like a farmer selling futures contracts on their crop. The yield of the crop and market conditions at harvest time are so uncertain that trading upside for stability becomes a smart bet.

So one might think to themselves that they don’t feel certain about their ability to generate income for the next 20 years and sell a claim to their existing and future incomes for a payment today which they can diversify into other investments and tap in the future if things unravel for a period.

Of course the old fashioned way of doing this is putting part of your income into savings. But front loading savings has benefits like having a larger nut to start with and more time to compound.
Right now with the current covid situation the Visas are difficult everywhere. I think a year and a half ago you would have had little difficulty of finding visas to allow you to go to the countries that you want and establish some sort of residency to get on the path towards citizenship in those countries.

Now the world is on a global lockdown of unprecedented scale and even as countries are at herd immunity levels there is no discussion of changing their Visa or immigration policies that were temporary. It may be years before those policies are reversed.
I will always, always value the right of children to go to school and the right of Americans to run a small business over the completely hypothetical notion that a novel corona virus has intense long term side effects. Schools are open in Florida and the kids are fine. There have been a billion, probably two billion, infections so far and near zero evidence of widespread long term effects. If one percent are “long haulers” there should be 10-20 million of them. Where are they? What there is indisputable evidence of is a dramatic increase in drug overdoses, suicides, stroke and heart attack deaths at home (which are callously and cravenly classified as excess mortality due to Covid). I am supposed to chant BLACK LIVES MATTER in the street when police kill 250 black people/year but am supposed to clap and cheer when the Teachers Unions demand that 40 million Children of Color are locked at home with no equipment for distance learning. Please stop pretending that a disease with 99.95% survival rate (99.999% under age 50) justifies ten trillion dollars of self imposed economic disaster. Please stop telling me I need to cover my face when walking my dog outside, Dr Biden. The threat of this virus has been drastically exaggerated to influence politics, undermine property rights, bail out failing corporations, and enrich a select few.
I mean, I don't know, I'm a random guy on the internet saying stuff, not an analyst.

But I think a key point is that active investing already exists and dominates the market -- it's still like 85% active. People choosing to invest in passively managed funds are doing so because they see a higher return. Maybe the choice is sticky and people won't switch back if the returns begin to fall, but people still have to switch in.

So building up a surplus of passive investors requires people to continue to switch to a passive strategy after the returns between passive and active level out and reverse. And not just a little -- profits from investing are returned to investors, and reinvested. So if the equilibrium between active and passive investing is X% of the market passive, and we get up to passive investors at X+10% of the market, then the X+10% of passive investors will see a lower rate of return than the 90-X% of active investors. Which means -- unless those active investors take their surplus profits and dump them into then-less-profitable passive funds, before long the active investors will have 91-X% of the market and the passive investors will have 9+X%. Absent continued switching, the feedback of profit re-investment will push the balance back to equilibrium.
Yes because you have no idea if it's going to result in the stack overwriting the heap. On many compilers it's just a macro that decrements the stack pointer by the value in the argument. You really shouldn't ever use it.

Not if the speed comes with a price tag that properly accounts for externalities. Cheap flights are a market failure, plain and simple. Besides, on short flights the relative overhead of getting to/from the airport, and spending time on the airport waiting, is especially high, whereas with trains the overhead is minimal.
No, those are personal debts (in one case secured). There’s been on and off again interest for as long as I can remember about creating personal equity interests (i.e. the payout depends on how much the person earns). Now with blockchain(tm).

UX is also being neglected by train companies, and especially between train companies.

I think it would be a great enhancement if we had a European booking system that'd provide single-ticket journeys no matter which operator, and a Google-Flights-like UX.

Right now, the German DB got me into a mindset of adding an extra hour between transits, and assume that the train might skip my destination entirely. And if I file a complaint? Well, that's already part of the price!
