That earlier submission generated no discussion, so resubmitting it seems OK. It's not likely that people will notice a 7 hour old article that has only 3 upvotes (you'd have to scroll through a lot of new articles to see it), so that original submission probably isn't going to get any more attention.
I would not expect that crowd to overlap with Whole Foods customers.
But early eligibility != required to do your job. The vaccine system was only as "full tilt" as we had doses available. We had capacity for substantially more shots in arms but there was nothing to give. That said, I do agree with the State's priorities. As much as it pains me personally, retail is higher than my comfy WFH butt.
Sure but if you're walking into a store you can use my contactless card. Using my hand is kind of...unnecessary.

At that point, you're just cutting off my hand for the sake of it.
Hey dang, thanks for your hard work. This post is about the troubles of a gentleman called Ian Linkletter being sued by Proctorio. The other thread is about a student called Erik Johnson who is also being sued by Proctorio (but supported by the EFF). I also don't think the two cases are related. Is it right to move the comments from this post to the other?

Edit: note that the EFF article about Erij Johnson on the other post links to an EFF article about Ian Linkletter that does have more detail on Linkletter's case.
Please stop and reflect a bit on your comparison. As a reminder, we are talking about the state intentionally taking human lives. Not accidents.
But semgrep is much closer to a linter / critic program than a grep program.
What proportion of businesses are taxed like that?
But our justice system is reliable enough to lock people up for life just because there's a small chance we may find out they are innocent before they die in prison?

There must be a better way.
Sure, killing innocent people isn’t great, but wasting tax money, that’s where you have to draw the line!
I mean, they do sell homeopathic medicine there. It is not that much of a leap.
Do you have a source for it being a very common belief? My wife grew up in the south, I lived there for years, and neither of us have ever heard anyone mention this. It sounds like something you'd read on a "10 crazy things Christians actually believe" article, even though it's not "very common" as you claim it is.
Finally, a common sense tax proposal. Fix the brackets before any of this wealth tax nonsense. We already have a thorough and effective system of measuring income in this country.

I would add another bracket for 100mm+, as well as stretch the brackets out for regular income. It's ridiculously broken when people make 10,000 times as much as the highest bracket. If someone makes more than an order of magnitude above the highest level, it's time for an update, imo.
i am not understand why you have downvote, constant hedonic adjustmint from fed is making inflation disapear. cpi is failing to include many important things and we are therefore have missing much inflation over past years. you must see m1 graph over past year, then tell me there have been less than 2% inflation? https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M1SL
I'm not sure why it's so hard to say "Yes, company X did a lot of things well (Y, Z, AA) but could have improved in sectors AB, AC, AD." Actually, I do understand why -- you may be risk averse, and the fear of losing your job or rocking the boat precludes you from making a critique even if other people get hurt. Maybe in part because you too have mouths to feed and folks who will get hurt if you do so. So you downvote and make up excuses for it. After all, that's easier than addressing the cognitive dissonance, no?

It's understandable, but I still can't agree that it leaves you without some amount of ethical culpability. Maybe significantly less than an executive. But still, some. It's more understandable for roles that don't have as strong a position in the labor market as engineers, but I find it a little bit less so for myself, as someone who works in engineering.

I think you (and anyone else downvoting) should read Eichmann in Jerusalem [1]. It's about this exact ethical quandary. I would hope it would change your opinion on these things, but if it doesn't, agree to disagree. And certainly don't expect any sympathy from me or the rest of society.

The luxury of inexperience make things seem real. This is very evident when 'crime' is an intellectual exercise vs. you happen to be victim of it.

Both are 'real' but one is more 'real' than the other.
I was on your side a year ago. Your year of explaining has actually made me into a skeptic. Evidence for asymptomatic spread hasn't materialized. The disease isn't as deadly as the officials said at first, and the response hasn't adapted. This is not an existential threat.

I stayed inside without going to a grocery store or any other store for a full YEAR because of the panic induced by people like you.

I am far worse than a lost cause. This pandemic has made me completely lose trust in the "experts" like Dr Fauci, the CDC, and the WHO, all of whose guidance I followed for a full year before understanding the extent to the lie we've been fed. And I've absolutely had it with the armchair epidemiologists online like you who repeat their #BlueAnon theories about this variant and that tiny uptick in the curve and never, ever mention the evaporating evidence for asymptomatic spread, or what happened to the actual flu this year

COVID only hospitalizes 1-5% of cases, and they're almost all old or obese. What are we doing?! This is not an existential threat! It does not justify forcing individuals to take an experimental vaccine against their will!

Enjoy your drugs, and your panic! I'm not doing it! Fire me! Throw me in jail! I'm done bending my knee to this insanity

And you can downvote me all you want but there are many of us who feel this way and you pretentious, arrogant fucks don't know better than anyone else and you're actively hurting the cause you believe in. Your downvotes always galvanize me. They tell me I'm RIGHT.

Morons!
Olin provides a 50% scholarship for everyone and does really well at financial aid. I currently go here :). In the beginning of the school's lifetime, everyone had a 100% scholarship. It's a common tactic for schools to say their college is the same price as MIT/Harvard but not actually cost that much.

Plus, many schools are moving towards a co-op/hand son/project-based model, even public ones. University of Waterloo is such an example, and many state schools I know are also transitioning into a project-based model. It's not that more expensive than testing - especially given the fact that everyone has a computer, 3d printers and workshops are relatively cheap, and most undergrad projects aren't that expensive.

Students tend to get internships, pay for their school, and move into high paying jobs immediately out of school because how much experience they have, even if they have to give up some theoretical basis. That being said, Olin generates many grad-school students that do well at research.

>hopefully reduce inequality

Depends how the money is used. If we spend it on social programs, reducing taxes on lower-income earners, infrastructure, then it will.

But if it just gets spent on more weapons? I don't know that that does anyone any good.
Is it possible that SARS-Cov-2 is able to infect bacteria?
> Personally, I'd prefer higher capital gains tax and lower corporate tax.

Same, but it'd mean more tax money for foreign governments, too, since those untaxed profits would be contributing to cap gains tax in another country (in the case of foreign investors) instead of domestic corporate tax.
Lol nvidia being nvidia: full of themselves.

As the largest gpu company in the world whose majority business relies on gpu on windows, they can't even do this. Like keeping up with changes and working out a deal where msft tests stuff on their hw first? Like you had one job

How about releasing the drivers in open since you are so incapable at doing it yourself.
Aren't things like this the way you would tax the wealthy?

Think of this as a patch which fixes a bug that said financial professional would exploit.
You can turn off all kinds of safety features in your car
I mean, there are cases where you have clear video evidence of murder, or mass shootings where it's obvious who the killer was with 100 witnesses.

If a proposal came to redefine the threshold for the death penalty from "beyond reasonable doubt" to "irrefutable" then the arguments here would not hold.
I didn't roll my own. I'm using built-in browser functionality, available under crypto.subtle object of the browser. You can review the code in my WebUtil library on Github @borisreitman. It's just a light wrapper on top of browser's functionality.
Ask HN: An easy way to provide analytics to customers?
I'm working on a real estate application where users can create property listings and other users can view/interact with these listings. I'd like to provide some basic interaction metrics to the first group of users like page views, time spent on page, unique page views, etc as well as some custom interaction events like "user clicked a button" or "user viewed X document". I know Google Analytics provides their "Analytics APIs for ISVs"[1] toolkit but it doesn't seem to fit the use case quite right and I really don't like the idea of Google controlling all this data and making me ask politely for access.

Does the HN community have any recommendations on how to handle this? Providing users with this kind of information seems like a fairly common feature. Is everyone writing bespoke analytics toolsets for their applications or offloading the task to Google? Are their OS alternatives that I'm not finding?

Any advice is much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Right? It seems like their product team either has zero evangelical Christians on staff, or they ignored the people who were probably shouting "this is not going to go over well" in meetings.

Things like this are why it's so critical to have people with diverse backgrounds around you. Otherwise you tend not to know about significant cultural differences until it's too late.
If they were given the option to send all the resources that get spent on them rotting in prison to a cause of their choosing - many of them would quickly choose a humane death.

The ones that wouldn't, only care about themselves and should be treated accordingly.
It only applies to investment property. If you own your home the first 250-500k of capital gains is exempt depending on your filing status. 1031 exchanges are a decent amount of work and have some additional requirements (it's not really for house flipping). They are also a tax deferral strategy. The tax eventually comes due.
This reads much like similar articles from the 80's (and probably others before that).

There is still very significant leap from the "very close to" state AI is at today, to being equivalent with humans; never mind racing past them.

Indeed - read "The Dream Machine"
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/722412.The_Dream_Machine
It provided me some shocking perspective on how long the "promise of AI" has been bandied about with language that will be very familiar to the tone of this article.
Optimizing RigelEngine’s OpenGL Rendering for the Raspberry Pi
This is a 1st-gen chip with H.264 and VP9 support. Apparently, they've already got early versions of the next generation with AV1 which will hopefully mean wider adoption of AV1 will be coming in the next few years.
This argument doesn't make sense at all. Rich people always have access to financial professionals. Shifting tax burdens isn't free and nobody's expecting that people won't change their portfolios/tax declarations/whatever to reflect this.

What it does do is alter the effective tax rate, and even a partial effect is desirable.
I looked into glacier pricing a while back it's..tricky. It looks super cheap up front, but gets extremely expensive if you ever need to get the data out of glacier.
Oh neat, thanks! Saved.
But you're setting up a false choice.

Our option here isn't "salmon exist and we kill them to eat them" or "no salmon exist."

Our option is "salmon exist and we kill them to eat them" or "salmon exist and live their lives in the wild unmolested, and we also get to eat salmon."
It depends whether you've been burned by memory safety/data race CVEs in the past. For better or for worse, some people actively search out software written in Rust specifically because the choice to use C/C++ is not opaque to the user.
> Pasternak was given Nobel prize for "Doctor Zhivago". When reading the book I was disappointed a bit: why give such a high prize for such a boring book.

Maybe other people liked it, even if you didn't?
what nice of a cherry-picking graph. it have picked start point of highest rates in history for to make the appearing that there have been some extraordinary cut. but in real seeing it is the high rate that was the extraordinary. here we have longer-view graph for to illustrate: https://taxprof.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c4eab53ef01b7c85dc53...

in similarity, we are see that capital gains tax today still exist above historical past, the graph you link again cherry-pick. longer-term view is showing of a different picture: https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com...

under here we are see a recover to normal over time not the "cuts for rich" things you are saying.
Why do you think that the left and intellectuals ‘more widely fail at winning politically’?

I’m not even sure what that is intended to mean - specifically the bit about intellectuals.
What Is the Golden Ratio?
Right 401ks and IRA are taxed as regular old income when withdrawn and are subject to the same tax brackets as everyone else.
The nice thing about having more solar capacity available is that you can direct it towards other uses if it's more profitable to do so (or if regulations are changed to require it). Neither is possible, though, if we don't build it out in the first place.

If the only good thing Bitcoin succeeds in doing is accelerating solar capacity rollout, I'd call the tech as a whole a win.
That's a cool idea! I'll run it by some old/new users, see how they react. Thanks!
There is also legislation kicking around to reinstate the SALT exemption, so if that happened the state taxes would offset the federal.
You get the idea. The point is this isn’t about any individual persons life. This is about the vaccine being our only weapon that can actually stop this pandemic. If we just went on without a vaccine then we probably would see a variant arise that could live longer on surfaces or otherwise spread immensely more effectively or even more deadly. There’s nothing stopping a mutation from really killing 50-75% or more of people. The speed of evolution depends in part on the speed of replication -even in viruses. It’s a war of virus vs humanity.
They are quite expensive
There are definitely politics around the Nobel Prize for literature, though it is not always clear what they are--I don't really follow it.

But Mikhail Sholokov was in good odor with the Soviet government, and he got the prize for literature in 1965.
> If you have a site that needs navigation elements then you don't have a site. You have an app. You should build an app instead.

I have a web site that has multiple sections in it, and some of those sections have articles or stories in them, and some of those stories have chapters. I have breadcrumb navigation for it. That is a navigation element. I am not building an app. There are also web sites that have menus in them, because they have different sections and they choose to let you navigate between those sections using tabs or buttons or left-hand navigation columns or whatever. Those web sites are, nonetheless, still web sites.

> When I scroll on a site I expect all of the site to move. That includes and headers or footers or sidebars.

And when I view a site on my phone, I would prefer not to have to scroll left and right to access navigational elements. Because there will probably be navigation elements. Because web sites have those. :)
Airport security staff consent to this type of testing at hiring time so testing can be random, and not just anyone can try to sneak a weapon through security to see if it's caught as "a test".

Perhaps a similar approach that allows randomness with some sort of agreement with the maintainers could have prevented this issue while preserving the integrity of the study.
Any intentions of open sourcing?
Shirley being responsible for payment wouldn't be the first serious crime that one would have been the victim of if their hand were severed.
It's simple - writing on the screen with a stylus is a perfect use case for e-ink screen because the latency doesn't really matter that much (I mean, the threshold where it becomes unacceptable is much higher) and you're just drawing on the screen as opposed to moving something that was already drawn there. I have played with simple drawing apps on a jailbroken Kindle many years ago.

Mouse requires low latency to be useful as a pointing device. Do the exercise I've outlined in my earlier comment and you'll see for yourself why, really.

That said, this Dasung screen has a really impressive latency for a e-ink screen. DAW work would still be tiring with it, but it feels like it's already unlocking lots of other possibilities (even though those fast modes leave lots of visual artifacts, but that's to be expected).
Ah—sorry, I definitely missed that. I doubt that the distinction makes much difference for HN purposes, though, since threads on either one of those will fuse into the same discussion.
Isn't incentivizing for risk the market's job? Why should the government be in the business of rewarding risk taking, and secondly, where else would they put their money? It's not like there's a secret, riskless investment out there that has a high return and doesn't generate capital gains. Your options are to invest, or lose money to inflation in a certificate of deposit.
Some really nice photos in the article.
But isn't "cheating" the norm in real-world jobs too? It's rare that I or any of the developers I work with complete a task without looking something up or asking a question of someone more knowledgeable.

Seems to me the problem is how the assignments are posed – If the goal is to create a program that does X, and I can do that by copy/pasting or tweaking something from StackOverflow, have I not completed the goal? But if what you actually want is for me to understand all of the principles behind a program that does X, well that's a very different thing. And the assignment should be set up differently.

It feels like Proctorio and similar solutions are treating a symptom of the real problem, which is that the way a lot of higher learning is administered is inherently flawed. And until we fix that, won't cheating and cheating detection be the same Coast-Guard-vs-smugglers arms race it's always been?
This movement towards synthetic meat seems very antithetical to the natural foods heuristic. Isn't what we've learned over the last half-century or so that processing food in an attempt to make it more nutritious/uniform/etc. generally involves a reductive analysis of the value of the food and in doing so destroys most of the actual nutrient value?

The "shopping at the edges of the market" thing is a tolerably good heuristic for avoid foods that have been modified based on outdated or incorrect theories of human nutrition. The push for heavily processed synthetic meats seems like a huge step backwards.
I don't think any German companies compare to Google/Airbnb/Coinbase. And it's not guaranteed that if you move to Mountain View you'll get a job at Google. Just saying.
Do you actually believe that? Gov. Walker was notorious for various other corrupt activities as well.

In other terms, grey's law applies here: Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice

1031 is not for properties the owner lives in. For owner occupied properties, there is a $250k per taxpayer exemption on gain if requirements are met.

As I understand it, it's possible to use both rules on the same property, but it takes many years and specific facts.

The iPad is not a Mac. If you want macOS, get a Mac.

iPadOS is much more user friendly to people who are not IT professionals. I’ve been moving less technically inclined family members to the iPad for this reason exactly.

Having a full macOS on there would ruin that. Mac apps are not built for touch. The user experience of such a thing would be awful, and redesigning macOS to work on tablets would make it worse for Mac-users.

So no, putting macOS on would not be brave. It would be dumb.
That's a rather misleading graph though.

> The top 1 percent of income earners paid an average effective income tax rate of 16.9 percent in the 1950s, according to data compiled by the Tax Foundation from a 2017 paper by economics professors. That figure includes all federal, state and local income taxes.

> Congressional Research Service calculations of data from the Internal Revenue Service similarly found in a 2012 report that the very top income earners – the top 0.1 percent and 0.01 percent – also paid effective tax rates lower than the 91 percent top marginal tax rate in the 1950s. The average rate for the top 0.1 percent fell from the low 40 percent range to the high 30 percent range during the 1950s. For the top 0.01 percent, it fell from the 50 percent range to the mid-40 percent range.
Thanks! Fascinating hints at the complexities of working around radiation hazards:

>MCU processor units operate redundantly, receiving and processing
identical sensor data to perform the flight-control functions necessary to keep the vehicle flying in the air. At any given
time, one of the MCU is active with the other waiting to be hot-swapped in case of a fault.

>Each subsystem has a current monitor to detect possible latch-up current and
can be power cycled to clear a SEL. In addition, current limiting is added to prevent a destructive SEL event and most
devices are switched off when not in use to minimize their exposure to SEL. For the critical FPGA which is always on
for the duration of the mission, the radiation tolerant ProASIC3 is chosen with the military temperature grade (-55 C to
125 C) and -1 speed grade to mitigate the degradation in the propagation delay caused by the total dose radiation.
There is no upside to speaking ill of your previous company. In no particular order, your potential employer might think...

... that you'll badmouth them in the future too,

... that you are the type of person who will cause drama by speaking behind other people's backs,

... that you don't know how to accept and recognize your mistakes ("it's not me, it's them")

... that you are not as nice to work with as any of those other candidates who didn't badmouth their previous employee when given a chance

... and so on. The interview process is biased enough against you to be worth the risk, specially when there's so little to be gained from it.
You mean the ass company?
