As a fellow east Portlander who stayed in Berlin a couple Summers ago and absolutely fell in love with the place, I really appreciate the story and applaud your successful relocation.
How was he being supplied before the ship ran aground?
It is supremely unfair for the court to assign him full responsibility for the ship, but without any power over it. If the court were serious about the situation they should have handed the ship over to him entirely. He could then put the ship up on the market for whomever wanted to buy it or sell it to a scrapping company.

If you think this would be unfair to the ships owners this is exactly the point. Force them to fix the situation or lose control of it entirely. Don't leave an actual human in some Kafkaesque nightmare of being jailed on a derelict vessel because you are terrible at running a shipping company. The article says there are hundreds of these cases around the world, and because only regular people are being harmed nobody is trying that hard to fix it. This is unconscionable.

Edit: Fixed my faulty memory about the number of ships in this situation.
Why would you write an article like this without a word describing the legal consequences of leaving the ship? What consequence would be worth four years of your life?

Edit: a more useful video linked below explains that the authorities confiscated his passport. That would make it difficult to leave. Though I'd probably try anyway after a year of that.
Lot of hate for Nvidia i'm sure- but Msfts update model is absolutely to blame. Constantly reinventing the wheel and pushing things out that break their main product and change features that didnt need nor were asked for change to pursuse some internal political narrative.
Wrong accusation is definitely a problem, but ultimately I think people should be free to decide what kind of laws they want. The Machinery of Freedom describes a government-less system in which people voluntarily pay an insurance which defines what the law is and what happens when the law is broken. If people have different insurance companies, they can agree what law is going to prevail in which cases. If capital punishment were something desirable (which I don't think it is: the risk of being wrongfully accused outweighs the potential deterrent to other to kill me) some agencies could evolve to cater to this need.

That said, I think there is an economic argument to be made against capital punishment.

Killing someone is definitely a waste of human life and economic potential.

Wouldn't it be better to have the sentenced man work for the rest of his life in prison and create value?
You could potentially have a deal in which the prison organise the work, keep a portion of the profits to keep operating and pays the victim / victim's family for the crime they were subjected to.

I think this is fantasy right now because the government is terribly inefficient in everything they do - but with a system of private prisons (another fantasy, given the current trend of increasing the government size, instead of reducing it), maybe someone would be able to turn a profit and make it work.
> Money belongs to people, and those people don't tend to move.

The tax isn't for their money, it's for their capital gains, which only happen when they realize those gains (e.g. sell assets). High net worth individuals absolutely can and do move to lower tax areas if the incentive is sufficient, or otherwise choose not to move to higher tax areas. It happens between US states all the time.

> Heck, the US is especially good at taxing people abroad.

Has it improved significantly since 2014 [1]?

> How many would really renounce citizenship just to save on taxes, and where would they go that taxes less?

Perhaps somewhere other than Canada, France, Holland, Denmark or Sweden, and without renouncing their citizenship.

There seems to be this idea that simply because the IRS tax rules apply to expatriates, that everyone bends over backwards to report their incomes and pay their taxes the same way they would in the US. I just haven't seen evidence that's the case--particularly among high net worth individuals leaving for that purpose.

And regardless, ideally our rates would be competitive and investors should want to put their money here. A "where else are you gonna go" attitude only works while there aren't better options, which may not be forever for all taxpayers.

If he had silently sneaked off the ship, would someone have noticed? How long would it take for anyone to notice that a ship without power and crewed by just 1 person was actually abandoned?
As he said in the article, it is because he has no intention of abandoning his profession and will resume working, meaning if he had left the ship his career would been ruined.
Anyone know how the issue was resolved? The article doesn't actually say what changed about his situation to allow him to leave.
Bingo. Browsers have given away so much power and control to web designers that should be in the user's hands. I know what size text I like. I know what font and colors I prefer. Why make it so difficult to configure my browser to use them, and so easy for web developers to override my preference? The John Gruber site frequently comes up here as the poster boy for this problem: I have an enormous 27" beautiful monitor, but he just -decides- for me that I should be reading text in a tiny narrow horizontal sliver of that screen. Who the hell are you to tell me how I should be reading text on my screen? And the browsers are complicit.
But he is determined. He says he is good at his job and wants nothing more than to pick up where he left off.

Probably. My point is that even 100% vaccination won't fully stop it since there are other carriers in the environment. They slaughtered a bunch of minks due to infection, so I would imagine there are other reservoirs out there (wild weasels, pet ferrets, some other species). After all, one theory is this virus got it's start though human-animal contact.
Unfortunately the space is littered with confounding variables. For example, just measuring the impact of GC overhead is bound to be tricky, because a trashy program (one that allocates a lot of garbage) is going to make GC look bad in comparison to a program that is careful to reuse data structures. And that's mostly because of the second-order effects of the memory hierarchy, and not so much about the raw cost of allocation or deallocation! A lot of language library choices contribute to trashiness; e.g. in Java it is very difficult to avoid making lots garbage if you use essentially any of the JDK. You can't even parse integers or strings effectively without multiple copies. I really don't know how Go's libraries look in that regard, but the truism generally holds that the more bullet-proof you try to make APIs, the more defensive copies you end up making.

Is the antidote to those inefficiencies an ownership model that forces you to reason about mutability? I don't know. I kind of think no, primarily that it is a performance consideration that infects the API and spreads everywhere; it's a distraction. Is it instead to have all immutable data structures and an insanely smart compiler that replaces copying with in-place mutation, so that pure functional languages compete with highly tuned, pervasively mutable code? I kind of also think, no. And primarily that's because performance cliffs get worse and harder to predict, the smarter your compiler is.

The mutability/ownership question is confounded with allocation and deallocation. The latter really should never be on any programmer's mind, IMHO. In Rust, it seems there isn't much support for decoupling the two, e.g. by having an automatic garbage collector. That's also an unfortunate reality forced on language implementers by the fact that LLVM has steadfastly refused to support stackmaps as a first class concept for more than 15 years. Many, many projects have died because of LLVM's stackmap support being lacking or broken. That's unfortunate because precise stackmaps are a key enabler for many GC techniques, and without them, you end up with some form of conservatism that make certain optimizations impossible, and forces a particular design for nurseries.

>what does the death penalty actually achieve, with a high burden of proof (beyond reasonable doubt) that as a policy it actually benefits society as a whole.

I think the death penalty does deter people from committing certain crimes. But many many people don't. (for the record, I also believe in abolishing the death penalty where I live where many innocent people fall victim to it).

The problem is this isn't something you can really prove with scientific evidence. You can't do a double blind trial in separate societies with and without the death penalty.

Not every social policy can be proven before it is enacted. Life just doesn't work that way. Evidence isn't always available for every possible option.

The argument is not junk, there's value in understanding how taxes work through the value chain.

A little bit like a VAT, we don't want to tax, tax and tax some product that has a long and complicated line of distributors, rather, tax the final product, either using VAT rebates etc.. This is more economically beneficial.

With corporate and individual incomes, we think at little bit the same way - i.e. how the taxation will flow through via corp tax, income tax, dividend tax and cap gains.

In Ontario, if you pay small business corp tax and then a dividend, it's pretty much the same as if you were to take a salary and pay income tax. Obviously, this because the million or so small businesses out there would rig their outgoing cash flows one way or the other, depending on tax treatment.

While cap gains is a special situation, it does still form part of those block of taxes that should naturally relate to one another in terms of how net surpluses are taxed.

When you spend your 'already taxed income' on an entirely new product or service, then that's separate economic activity, and so it's taxed without consideration to your 'previously taxed income'.
>We respect our developer's need to be individuals, and their open source code contributed under a personal ID represents them and their resume. This was a one off disagreement that should not have gone public as there are internal guidelines to resolve it.

I'm not sure that comparison makes much sense, it's like saying that HTTP has no SLA. AFAIU, Filecoin miners are free to offer SLAs for storage, and clients are free to enter into deals only with miners who offer such SLAs.
Eastern Europe,or at least some parts of it, already seeing tech salaries getting closer to those in western Europe,while cost of living is still fairly reasonable.
To only hire such people, or give them preference? Of course it is.

This is precisely why hiring for "cultural fit", very often also called "company culture" or "company values", often leads to racial or other discrimination. Because different groups hold different values. E.g. white guys from expensive colleges hiring people who "align with their values" can result in deeply discriminatory behavior -- racially, culturally, socioeconomically, etc. -- even if that's not the intention.

Depending on how long ago you checked it out (relative to the ~9 years since Glacier was first announced) it might be worth another look.

It's still quite expensive if you ever need to retrieve data in a hurry, but it used to also have a complicated and unintuitive pricing model that made it extremely easy to accidentally spend orders of magnitude more money than you intended to. They redesigned the pricing structure in 2016 to make it a lot more straightforward.

Why Ada failed has been discussed ad nauseum including on here. Early compilers were $$,$$$ per seat and proprietary, they're still easily $,$$$ per seat. Good open source compilers came later, there's still a strong disparity between the FOSS and commercial compilers and tooling.

The language was a mandate from US DOD which rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. It largely sat in the same space as Fortran and C, C was free (or much less expensive) and more readily available even when it did cost.

Cosmetic: People strongly dislike the verbosity of Ada. Some parts are reasonable to consider changing (but really are just cosmetic) like begin/end versus {/}. Other verbose portions are hard to change without fundamentally altering the language. You want to print integers and strings and you don't want to have to use Integer'Image(X) all over the place?

with Text_IO;
use Text_IO;
with Ada.Integer_Text_IO;
use Ada.Integer_Text_IO;

Now Put and Put_Line can be used with both strings and integers. Oh, you want to print more types? More withing for you. I don't mind it, you don't need to print in every package, but it is very cumbersome.

If you want to write a quick CLI tool, Ada is not your language (though I've done it), go for Perl, Python, Ruby, sh/bash, or even Go. C and C++ can be easier for that purpose. But once you start scaling it's a very good language.

The only way to get Ada in the mainstream now is to make it much cheaper and greatly improve the FOSS compilers and tooling, and have SPARK/Ada support an increasingly large subset including approaching feature parity with respect to memory safety as Rust. That's being worked on, but it's a non-trivial problem.
Then shouldn't there be some observable (better yet, measurable) side effects?

You'd be surprised how well this feature works. I don't recall ever having had an issue like the one you describe. The browser isn't changing the entire page layout, mind you. It only re-layouts the text when all you're seeing on screen is pretty much a single div. I guess you have to experience it to understand.
I believe they're working on using the rear-view mirror camera to watch for driver attentiveness, which would solve both this issue and the issue of their current driver attentiveness system sucking so, so bad.

They're different things. I could build my own processor fab for probably around €100 000, and those things used to cost millions – but I'm not exploiting economies of scale. Rather, I can look up how to best do it instead of having to work it out myself, plus I have better other technology available (e.g. a laser cutter can be modified to make parts of it).

I'd still have the problem of sourcing materials and disposing of all that toxic waste, though, which probably isn't a problem with the salmon.
Who is realizing $100mm in taxable ordinary income? That is one hell of a wage. Much more likely you "make" $100mm by owning a company that increases in value by $100mm. That is not subject to any tax rate or bracket at all. Only the portion that you sell for diversification / consumption is.
very good tip, thanks
A lifetime sentence is a lifetime where you can learn and grow and better yourself personally and where freedom is always a (faint) possibility. You can try to break out of prison for the rest of your life. You can make friends and enemies. You can make plans, create routines, read, better yourself, live life (however constrained).

The death sentence removes all of those, and that's why most people believe it is a good deterrence.

Murder already has one of the lowest recidivism rates of crimes. Murderers typically don't murder again. And that's mostly because murder is a heat of the moment crime. Planned murders are fairly rare.

If you seriously wanted to use the death penalty to deter crime, you'd do better executing people for smaller offenses. If you got executed for drunk driving rather than a fine, there would be less drunk driving.

Not saying that's a good thing. But if you're looking to deter crime, executing murderers is not actually a good way to go about it.

This is how exams are in Russian universities. You walk in. The table has a number of small paper cards on it face down with topics the course covered. You pick one at random, flip it over, and that is the question you need to answer. Since you do not know up front which you'll pick, you need to know all the material. Since you only need to answer one question, professor time is saved and exam throughput can be quite high.

Professors are also given quite a lot of flexibility in their grading. My mother had a fun story about a professor she had in college - a professor of a really hard math class who wanted to save on exam time. He announced "exam will be hard. Anyone willing to settle for a D, bring your report cards forward, I will mark them D and you can leave. No exam.". Some people came forward, got their Ds marked, and left. Once the door closed, he said "Anyone willing to accept a C, please come forward". Some did. After the door closed there, he announced to the remaining smiling students expecting easy As/Bs: "I'll see you all for the exam tomorrow 8 am".

No way this could happen in USA.
