The solution to this is to get a phone number from an area code that you don't live in.

Almost all spam calls now spoof the number to give it the same area code as your phone.

So I know any call coming from a local area code is probably legit. Most calls coming from the same area code as my number or from a random area code or even 800 number is usually spam.
Not necessarily.

If your workload can be split, in many cases the amount of places to bring your data to would mean expensive and slow data transfer - N times to N points vs once to AWS.
It's not a new tax it's existing legislation that was not enforced. By law they (the government) have a right to review your income in foreign currency for the past 5 years. So now freelancers are being taxed for those 5 years and are expected to pay, potentially thousands of dollars, in a short time period. Most of them knew this way of working was in the gray area at best and that the law is just not being enforced.

There was always an option of opening a small business, paying relatively small amount of taxes and doing it legally. This way you get medical insurance, and at least some pension. Of course this is not a good option for people that freelance as a side gig since taxes could range between 100 and 400 euros depending on what type of freelance jobs you did and where you live.
Were you comparing your highly pure D20 with similarly pure H20?
Hmm. Ideally, your AP should handle speeds at least as fast as your WAN downlink provides, and most Americans have an AP provided by their ISP, so even if in some cases the AP is effectively throttling the connection, the ISP should get the blame in the end anyway.

What happened is that basically noone was paying any tax because the Tax Service did not have a way to classify internet workers. You can't pay taxes if you don't know how much you need to pay.

Bigger issue here is that they are forcing the people to play for the preceding 5 years, and taxes include both health insurance (which those people could not receive) and retirement fund (which those people are not eligible for those 5 years).

But Serbian government as a whole is deeply corrupt and this surprises noone.

I built a custom home server using Mini-ITX form factor parts and I would have to agree with this conclusion. ECC ram in that form factor is very expensive. The biggest issue I had was that fanless ATX power supplies are not reliable. There was also a hardware bug that was bricking Atom C2xxx processors.

I think that if form factor is not an issue, one of the i3's that support ECC ram are low enough TDP to be cooled passively. Especially if it is not expected to run at full load for long periods. However I simply switched to using a big case with low RPM, good quality FDB fans. It hasn't been a problem since, and is much less cramped when I do want to tinker with it.

It's the other way around: Linux has some extra support for these laptops. And of course the place where extra support is required is the input devices.

You can pretty easily just ship a 1kb .wasm module and load it and export a function from it to call from JS. Of course, then all your data needs to live in wasm-accessible memory, and you can't use strings or objects anymore...
This rather misses the point.

The issue is not RMS's beliefs as such. It's how he chooses to communicate them.

There's no doubt that there are many people in positions of power with beliefs that many would find reprehensible. But most of them have the sense not to make those beliefs public.

Of course one can make the argument that RMS can't help it, it's just his personality/ disability (as Bruce Perens recently argued), but that infantilizes RMS and implies he's simply incapable of learning from his mistakes.

But he is capable of such learning, as his recent presumably coerced "apology" shows. He needs more of that to develop into a mature adult person.

AFAIK, they just didn't want to get dragged into another war by the Germans, and perceived the joint UK/FR/BE war plan as provocative towards Germany, and left it to proclaim their neutrality. Unfortunately for them, proclaiming their neutrality didn't save them in 1914, and it didn't save them in 1939 either.

Now I totally understand why they were not fond of FR/UK deliberately planning to sacrifice half their country to establish strong defensive lines on their rivers, but sometimes you can't have it all and just have to go with the less shitty plan.

Can Lambda School still sell the debt to hedge funds without the student getting a job ?
Optimizations like 'these two function arguments are always int31' in v8 or spidermonkey are 100% predictable at this point and result in all your type checks and boxing being eliminated, and with the known types it also becomes much cheaper/faster to create object instances (since now if you store those values into properties of an object, that object's shape is fully known). Various properties like this can extend out into larger parts of your JS application.

There's still a lot of magic you can't rely on, but you'd be surprised how much you CAN rely on. Asm.js was built on this observation: If you write your JS following some basic rules it's actually pretty easy to land on predictable, well-optimized paths. Of course, one of WASM's advantages is that by design you're almost always on those paths and don't have to worry.
Network roundtrips are unavoidable, but WASM could be used to parse a server response and generate custom HTML to use in replacing some portion of the DOM. It would likely be a lot faster than trying to do the same in pure JS, and it would obviate the use of over-complicated hacks like virtual DOM and the like.
Perhaps you could do:

import { Function1, Function2} from "https://deno.land/x/oak/mod.ts";

In the file that needs them? Though then you have a lot of redundant URLs everywhere and god knows how auto-imports could work.

Or perhaps you could do

// deps/oak.ts

export * from "https://deno.land/x/oak/mod.ts";

and then you'd do

import { Function1, Function2 } from './deps/oak';

I am not a fan of any of these.
From my limited knowledge, Rust's type system is quite close to the ML family-- so perhaps F# would be a general-purpose GC'd language equivalent?

I am mainly interested to know how much overhead time is spent appeasing the borrow checker and managing memory that would otherwise free up mental cycles if a GC were available . The async story for Rust also seems confusing (but I hold my hands up and plead ignorance on this count).
So, twenty years hence, if the expected higher temperatures fail to materialize, would you consider that adequate falsification of the CO2 hypothesis?

Ask HN: How to do business continuity as a one man band
I'm an independent software engineer, I've got a few clients who rely on me for their websites and internal systems (small bespoke CRM /ERP type things).

If I got run over tomorrow, how could they not be affected? Everything's backed up and source code is in Git etc. It's more all the processes (deployment etc) and all the credentials that come along with that. Obviously I can document the process, provide them with regular copies of the database backup and dumps of the source for each release, but what about all the other bits?

What are other small shops do in terms of business continuity for their clients? How do you manage it?

Ramadan Kareem: 5 Ways Tech Can Make Ramadan Easier for Your Body and Soul
I think the numbers are just a way of thinking about it. Consider how you would map that to actual experience.

Consider two sentient species that evolved on two different planets in two different galaxies. One species decides to prioritize minimum happiness: the result is that they have 1 billion people, each of whom live the fabled lives of gods: everyone has constant access to physical and intellectual pleasures (food, music, whatever), is completely free of disease, war, and so on. Nobody ever thinks of suicide because they're just so blissfully happy and satisfied all the time. But to achieve this, they limit their population such that it never grows past 1 billion.

Another species decides to maximize aggregate happiness. They expand to have the maximum number of their species possible while maintaining a positive "happiness balance" for each person. Each person's life is hard, full of pain and toil; it's also rewarding, full of joy and relationships; but the reward is only ever fractionally better than the sorrow. Obviously that's an average: people's lives always have ups and downs, and during the "down" times, people begin to contemplate suicide. People may spend as much as 45% of their lives feeling that life isn't really worth living. But there are far more of them -- they've expanded to every available liveable location nearby, and continue to grow. There are trillions of them already, and as they continue to expand throughout their galaxy, there will be trillions upon trillions more.

So which species has made a better choice? When concretely embodied like this, I don't think the question is a nonsense one at all.

The only part I think might be considered nonsense is the assumption that you can always have one more and still have an average/minimum positive utility. Consider a generation spaceship (i.e., a spaceship designed to take several generations to travel between stars) with enough replicators to generate food for 1000 people to be sated. Some people might consider 1200 usually-hungry-but-otherwise-happy people is better than 1000 always-sated people, but 3000 always-starving people must be far worse; and 100,000 people living on the calories of 1000 people is clearly physically impossible.

It's an opinion I have based on outside observation of the political culture surrounding tax in the USA.

There are groups of people (political association) and vested interests (lobbyists) who want to make tax harder to pay than it needs to be so they can profit from it, either politically or financially.

In addition you need to manually calculate the sales tax for every different county in the USA on top of the sticker price. It has been suggested that this is enshrined in law and/or done by the stores themselves, but the net effect is that this sales tax is at the forefront of people's minds when going shopping.

Nearly all other countries have tax systems where the VAT/GST/Sales tax is already included in the sticker price, so you don't need to know which country has how much sales tax and manually add it on. Additionally lots of other countries have income tax systems where the authority already has all your information and can easily provide you a pre-filled tax return.

Given that the USA does not do these things and people actively block them, then my opinion is that the country as a whole has a hatred of making tax easier to pay. Most people may not want that, but they are either unwilling or unable to change it.

It really makes sense to use one of these clones for creating new products IF license permits it and if they are implementing a lot of required functionality. For example making a website for campsites would probably be 90% finished if an Airbnb's clone's code were used.

Just as we wouldn't think to implement Quicksort 10 or 20 years ago, because we have great, optimized reusable components, this is the next logical step: Focussing on building the 10% that differentiate the product instead of reinventing the wheel.

I am very well aware of the criticisms against PGP-as-a-model and I actually agree with them. The premise that having an open protocol makes changes 10x harder to actually spread is very true. I still believe that it's better to have that than everyone doing the same thing over and over and over again, "but this time it's better".

HTTP, javascript and TLS have also shown that a sufficiently motivated set of actors can move the ecosystem forward. True, organizing the ecosystem is not the same job as actually building stuff, but it's still beneficial to all of us.
I agree. All that follows is wild speculation, but...

Maybe the utilitarianisms of history maintained concrete referents in part because the notion of "utility" worked somewhere in basement brain. When we pulled it shrieking into the light of consciousness it died and we buried the body under a heap of cope born of the hope that ethics could be reduced to a formalism.

(Of course clever and unscrupulous people quickly figured out how to weaponize this as well)

Your view is exactly the position of exogenous money theorists. My point is, there is the other view.

> It's worth distinguishing money, which is created by government regulation, from other forms of wealth and stores of value.

Well, depends on how you define money. In exogenous theories, money are defined extensionally, by listing examples of money, i.e. money is what government issues. However, in endogenous theories, money are defined intentionally, by their properties, i.e. money is something that has not value in itself (have no use value), but can be readily exchanged for something that is valuable (have exchange value). (And then in practice, you have different indicators M1, M2, M3, ..)

> The reason that money has value is because the government will demand a certain amount of it as taxes.

This is different in the endogenous theory, money simply have value because people deem them to have value. It's not necessarily because government says, "this has value". Bitcoin is obvious counterexample, it has exchange value.

> Bonds are a temporary removal of money from the economy.

Under the intentional definition of money this is not true. If those bonds can be further traded between the creditors, then they will act as money (they will become a thing that can be exchanged for something else valuable). And you can see that amount of money in the economy increased, because now the original money paid for the bond and the bond itself is potentially in circulation, and can be spent on goods and services at the same time. So bond creation creates new money, and its repayment will destroy the new money.

The endogenous theories are built on the observation that there is systemic similarity between a banknote and a bond, they are both intrinsically worthless pieces of paper that represent value for which they can be (possibly) exchanged in the future.
How are bank notes more secure than Monero?

The mentality of the people is the same, every ill is prescribed to the state(or the politicians who lead it) and every problem is the state's to solve.
