Do we really need all the bespoke middleware stuff that OP goes on and on about, when practically all new, greenfield applications are based in some way or another on the Web and its open protocols? What middleware is still needed, other than the well-known semantic web and linked-data standards that have been developed specifically so that disparate applications from many vendors would be enabled to interoperate via a common Web platform, while allowing for user-directed extension and customization?
Epic might not win against Apple directly but the end result will likely be exactly the same when the EU are done with Apple.
Many people also want to win the lotto.

Even if people are saying this, what they actually do is quite different. People in CA moving out are generally moving into other metropolitan areas or smaller cities. They're not living some kind of Stardew Valley fantasy in the fields.

Sitting in a lobby chatting on Discord with the team while waiting for someone to come back from a "short" afk is literally half of my hours in CS:GO.

So? The relativistic effects of mass currents (that the parent is talking about) could put “apparent mass” where there is none, no?
The following was posted on Macrumors. Definitely not a perfect user-first response from Apple, but didn't seem terrible either. Particularly because Apple wasn't the source of the issue, the issue was people downloading an unofficial XCode tool not made or hosted by Apple. Apple discovered it (just like many researchers did) and made various (non-perfect) efforts to mitigate it. And according to Macrumors, the attack did not really lead to any serious consequences. Not sure if that's true but I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary either.

> Apple did ultimately inform users that downloaded XcodeGhost apps, and also published a list of the top 25 most popular apps that were compromised. Apple removed all of the infected apps from the App Store , and provided information to developers to help them validate Xcode going forward.

> XcodeGhost was a widespread attack, but it was not effective or dangerous. At the time, Apple said that it had no information to suggest that the malware was ever used for any malicious purpose nor that sensitive personal data was stolen, but it did collect app bundle identifiers, network details, and device names and types.
Tax law has issues, but deficient analysis, audit and enforcement against richer, more complex files is a huge issue.

Why fail to fix one over the other?
Because unlike their network gateways, their pricing change is unidirectional.

I'm interested in if you have thoughts on how to do that in a cost-effective manner. Any links you suggest I read?

In particular, I was under the impression solar had been made more expensive by Trump's tariffs. Not sure if that's even right. And, I'm not aware of any battery backup systems that are economical and not made by Tesla (not a fan of Tesla -- personal opinion, and not something I'm wanting to discuss as it's not really the topic here).
These people figure they can't attract legitimate investment so instead they index on how to bar the exits. It is more conspicuous who doesn't get the scrutiny of Brookings, ICIJ, TJN, and organizations like them. (hint: you elected them) These places are just fronts for post-hoc policy justification, and papers like these are pseudo-intellectual activism masquerading as scholarship.

I see a similar authoritarian nerd attitude in security all the time, where someone finds an unexpectedly invasive surveillance method and then tries to ingratiate themselves to the institutions who can mandate it. They think they have made something people want, when in fact they have only invented a new way to betray their fellow citizens to the insatiable will to power of bureaucracies. (Contrary to the talking points of their apologists, bureaucracies are in fact not made of people, they are made of bureaucrats)

Let's look at a problem these organizations don't care about, like the real social issue that is domestic money laundering, which not only converts the proceeds of really harmful crimes into legit bank deposits, it harms communities directly with real estate and rental bubbles, diseconomic businesses, dumping, political and police corruption, all of which their anti-capital policies directly create. The revenue-gap nerds are fine with laundering because some of it comes into the tax net, social consequences be damned.

While I have never earned enough to hide it in my life, I wish the class of people who think governments have a revenue problem but not a spending or scope problem would try solving a problem they didn't first cause for a change instead of thinking the world needs more of their concern and facilitation.
The societal ramifications of a large number of people living past 100 would be unprecedented.
So, so glad to see someone cite the regular language issue in that naivete.
Redistributing wealth is not the primary purpose of taxes.
Thanks for sharing, I hadn't seen that. Sadly, I feel like it would get removed as an answer or edited to the SO standards if that was posted as an answer today.
You could also just fund enforcement and have real penalties with teeth. You get a few hundred multi millionaires going to prison and the problem will go away. When you're at that level, it's simply not worth taking the chance if the risk is real.

Doesn't the referenced data have to be guaranteed to outlive the callee, which would only be true if the callee is guaranteed to return to the calling scope?

You can get around the immutability of the reference if your compiler implements the ABI with copy on write semantics, which I think is a reasonable compromise. But I'm still not certain how you would handle arbitrary control flow that the compiler may not be able to reason about.

If for example your arguments may be behind const references, how would you implement getcontext/swapcontext for your ABI? If everything is an integral value in registers or on the stack then it's really easy, but i would think it would have to be a compiler intrinsic if it depends on the function signature of the calling context, in order to perform the required copies.
I think this take is a little alarmist.

Yes, the national debt is increasing, but from 2000 to 2020, the percent of federal debt owned by the Fed increased from ~11% to ~18%. [0] That is hardly uncontrolled money printing. Private investors are still buying the bulk of treasuries despite the low interest rates, because they're extremely safe investments. I do believe that inflation will pick up a bit, especially for assets vs. consumables, but I don't buy the idea that we'll see anything much worse than what was going on in the 70s or 80s.

As far as the size of the debt, we're close to where we were in terms of debt to GDP ratio after World War II, but the cost to the country in terms of GDP of maintaining the debt has held fairly stable throughout modern history. [1] Considering the historically unprecedented impact of COVID-19 and the cost of dealing with the crisis, a temporary bump in debt is totally unsurprising to me, especially with how cheap it is to borrow.

I don't have a strong opinion on whether crypto will hold value well over decades or not, but I find arguments that crypto's rise is inevitable because the collapse of the USD is inevitable to be particularly unfounded.

Does Apple give app developers an avenue to communicate security incidents to people downloading free apps if the app doesn’t require signing up with an email address?

Feel free to propose a Keplerian model. Until then people will continue on with their epicycles.
For some reason edit is not working here's with the format fixed:

Throwaway for obvious reasons

Since the world is lacking in the department of opinion of wealthy men[1], let me add something to this discussion:

I'm currently in the situation of becoming rich (from a global standpoint, unicorn early employees would laugh at my near future net worth) due to selling my company. I'm having conversations with both tax lawyers and private bankers who are interested in helping me manage my future money. It's very clear for both sides that:

a) I never want not to be rich again

b) Paying less taxes is better than paying more taxes

Even so, all the professionals I talked to were very straightforward with saying that trying to avoid taxes would bring more headaches than it was worth it. Deferring taxes is considered kosher even for tax authorities as long as I declare everything I have correctly and it wouldn't be that bad after the first uh, let's say bite after the liquidation event.

Still, they insisted that an offshore structure would be useful to me for the rest of my life. I'm not American, I'm a citizen of a developing country that isn't a total mess, but it's... developing. And let's leave it at that. A few cases that convinced me:

1) Tax officers have no downside to suing even completely transparent transactions. It's completely possible to get a tax bill with a heavy fine on top years after the fact because suddenly someone thought something was off. One of the tax lawyers I talked to mentioned[2] how he nullified a ~hundreds of millions fine/reassessment, but only after a long (+expensive) legal battle and a lot of stress for the sellers. Totally unfounded, and he mentioned it happened more than once.

2) I almost lost my exit because the government bureaucracy was not working due to covid and the buyer had a hard deadline for Q1. Said bureaucratic procedure would be a single docusign in a business-friendly jurisdiction (aka tax heaven)

3) American private bankers find it a hassle to deal with developing country clients directly, handling their money through offshore accounts (as a business client, that is, the shell corp is the private banking client) is a lot easier.

4) This is not a case, but: I don't love paying taxes, but I understand that I live in a poor country and of course taking a tax dollar from me is a lot fairer than taking a tax dollar from my poor neighbor. Still, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that my government, or at least a few unsavory parties that could be in charge one day, decides that it wants to set a high wealth tax or outright confiscate investments and I don't plan on making that easy (see point a above).

So, there's that. No need to feel sympathies for the (future) millionaire here, just want to share that avoiding taxes is not my primary concern, and could not be for others, too.

[1] Yes, this is a joke
[2] Later I confirmed with said client, he was still angry at it
To save other people time, this is nothing but a gimmicky html box showing what a stack of money looks like compared to other stacks of money.
I personally moved from a city to an RV and stay in rural areas. We (wife and myself) use about 60 gallons of water _per week_ right now. We're planning on getting a well on our property soon and even after that we're probably going to use at most 20-40 gallons a day (with a fairly large garden). I don't exactly understand what city people these days (it's been 7 years for me) do but they tend to wash clothes and shower... a LOT.
For most, newfound income does not materialise itself as wealth but rather an increase in living standards.

$400k can buy you an entry-level home in cash, or a 10% deposit on that $4M mansion across town. Most choose the latter.
Since the emissions originate from China, and only the CCP is capable of reducing them I see no value in defining emissions as a per-capita number. The CCP likely cannot be shamed in reversing course. At least they did nothing significant the last few years.
Idk, I just don't understand the meaning of a life that has an end, and thus "leaving something behind" makes no sense to me. Why leave something behind if the moment a person dies the entire universe ceases to exist for them?
Somewhat related to this, elephants have around 20 copies of TP53, the master ‘protector of the genome’ gene that senses DNA damage and reacts to it. With lots of cells you need lots of protection against cancer. I wonder if blue whales have more. Response to somatic mutation is the name of the game for organisms with very old or very many cells.
This is one of the more interesting points that gets lost in the "tax the rich" talk. I believe this is because people's general political point of reference is their individual situation and not the overall system - but from the system point of view it truly is just a drop in the bucket.
If you make 400K after taxes and don't spend any of it, you'd have 4M after 10 years...
Is it time to consider emojis a language?
The 9 bit serial OP mentioned likely doesn't have a seperate clock line, so it is hard realtime and timing matters a lot, and I doubt the Pi could reliably do anything over 1 kHz baud with bit banging. You could do much better if you didn't run Linux.
there were no "secret" uses of combinations of entities or laws that was new or surprising from this leak and Mossack Fonseca, big 4 accounting firms, and many other providers - as well as anybody with decent reading comprehension skills - can do it as well.

that has nothing to do with client data, which is "secret" even in the "I overpaid my percentage of taxes onshore by not deducting anything" world
You consider an animal having evolved a sense for certain properties of the natural world so they can survive more advanced the humanity? I seriously cannot comprehend how you can view that as more advanced then humanity going to space, manipulating matter on the atomic level and the most important: beating evolution for the most part.
This is rather overstated (especially the "incredibly unlikely" bit).

The best attempt I've seen to summarize this is in this paper
https://arxiv.org/abs/1412.7719
which argues that there's roughly a 10% chance of getting something as extreme as the Bullet Cluster under Lambda-CDM. So, mildly unlikely, but not even approaching the (problematic) P < 0.05 threshold that's emblematic of the "replication crisis" in fields like experimental psychology.
Really? I’m an immigrant and I wish taxes were higher so we could get healthcare and more help for the homeless
Except Kotlin enjoys the compatibility with Java, plus it outfits those java collections with extension methods and some compiler tricks to achieve all the same functionality as the Scala collections (in fact, I would say even more self-consistent and useably than in Scala). Just as in Scala, in Kotlin you can use functional transforations that Scala users are so accustomed to:

Kotlin:

listOf(1,2,3,4)
.map{i -> i + 1}
.filter { it % 2 == 0 }
.flatMap { listOf(it, it * 2, it * 3) }

Kotlin even has a similar take to Scala's views, which they call sequences:

listOf(1,2,3,4)
.asSequence()
.map{i -> i + 1}
.filter { it % 2 == 0 }
.flatMap { listOf(it, it * 2, it * 3) }
.toList()

Is this really so "lacking in capability and grace" compared to Scala? The only think missing is persistent immutable collections, which are implemented in kotlinx.
OK, I’ll bite: what’s a “circular technosphere”?
Well exactly, but they have convinced (brainwashed?) a bunch of their users that they're really on their side.

In my experience, Android users are generally not plagued by this misconception to as great an extent.
Being a software engineer in a EU country, you're definitely not a classically rich person. In USA, maybe? In EU not so much. There's so many professions (quite common at that) that earn more, or even much more than us.
I find good luck reading stuff that was recently Nebula/Hugo nominated. Usually it isn't strictly scifi, much of it is fantasy (but by the definition in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27090292, it is still sci-fi/speculative fiction).

This year there are 8 novels that appear on either list (http://www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history/2021-hugo-awards/, https://nebulas.sfwa.org/sfwa-announces-the-56th-annual-nebu...). I've read three (Piranesi, The City We Became, The Midnight Bargain). Piranesi isn't speculative at all, just pretty and thought provoking and foreign in a way that's difficult to describe. The City We Became and the Midnight Bargain are both interesting. I found TMB to be at points a bit heavy handed with the metaphor, but still thoroughly enjoyable and interesting. Both it and The City We Became are very openly political, in the case of The City We Became, very openly so in a very contemporary way.

That said, it's also a good way to find authors. Polk, Jemisin, and Moreno-Garcia have other books that I've read or will soon read that are all critically acclaimed and IMO very good, thought provoking, sci fi, in the way that adventure books like Sanderson's aren't (though those are still great to read). I should note that I haven't had the chance to get to Le Guin yet (except for Omelas, which is great, and I see influence of in, for example, Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy). She's on my list, but I want to finish up basically everything by Jemsin first. Hopefully this year!
The majority of the population of CA lives in the coastal cities - so a pejorative like "beach bro" is super unnecessary and condescending for no reason.
Sneaker counterfeiters generally don't care all that much about pass authentication checks. For shoes, and most clothing, they care more about time to market (getting their fake out before or near release date) and price point. If someone is wearing fake shoes, unless they're outlandishly fake (there were some hot pink fake yeezys I've seen more than one), you mostly likely won't be able to spot these imperfections from a distance. Also, unless you're in the niche you probably won't care if they're real or fake. I'd liken this to hanging prints of famous paintings; people like the look but might not want to shell out for a Picasso.

I work with shoes on a daily basis and have done/do auth checks.
What question this "comparison" is aiming to answer? At the current state the title should rather be "get a random movie y that is older than x".
It's true, not false.

You refer to a misleading overloading of the term when referring to the stack machines needed to realize 'regular expressions with backreference memories', which expands the language class to which they correspond.

Plus any potential concurrency synchro point existing would force a copy, plus using any unknown function, etc.

Using rust and propagating the single writer xor multiple readers requirement in an ABI, this might be interesting. But with C/C++, I'm afraid copies would be forced "all" the time.
Consider being a teacher. Thats a good explanation.
You know what I'd like to see is there can be other non-dev support for these types of efforts. For example:

* technical writers

* security pentesting/code reviews

* hosting and infrastructure support services for open source projects

Pretty sure that there are a lot of people who would be happy to donate their time to opensource projects that benefit farmers, so there is a bigger opportunity for matchmaking here.
Friction in this context refers to "dynamical friction", where massive objects -- e.g., dense cluster cores -- moving through a medium of many small masses -- e.g., DM particles -- will experience gravitational drag and slow down.

You seem to be operating from the position that there is nothing morally wrong with the one percent using every available loophole to pay as little taxes as possible. I'm sure all the laws and corporate structures Mossack Fonsecka made use of for their clients were perfectly 'legal' in the jurisdictions in which the paperwork and shell entities exist(ed).

Where I think we have a significant difference of opinion is whether something should be done to rectify the question of hiding assets offshore.
> wouldn't it be more productive to learn from that person and educate others how to earn good money and live a good, productive lifestyle?

It might be, or at least a step in the right direction, if those billionaires were teaching free wealth acquisition classes as a full time job after they attain three commas.

Many of the wealthy are born into wealth and have family and institutions that help them maintain it. The poor won't have a start like that, so we might have to setup pools of money donated from these billionaires for the poor to start out with. It could even have a catchy slogan too. Something like, "No exploitation without education."
> And also disk galaxies where a significant fraction of the stars and gas are counter-rotating.

So? Have you calculated the relativistic effects of those incredibly complex mass currents and come to the conclusion that GR is not a sufficient explanation for the motion?

I’m sure there’s a high risk that GR can’t explain everything, but it sure is frustrating that people tend to grasp for these adhoc hypotheses without exhausting GR first.
Moreover you can slum it by scraping by on $100k and bank the remainder every year. Most Americans don't have that luxury.
So what exactly are the 'benefits' of this information asymmetry?

What 'benefit' is derived from Congolese President's ability to have 'hidden' accounts on the Isle of Man, instead of accounts that are available to be scrutinized by Congolese authorities?

While I wholeheartedly agree with what you're saying for the physical world, the digital world is completely different. In the physical world, the scope of any action is inherently localized. But with digital systems it takes just one person out of seven billion (or even just the right software bug) to create a global scale problem. The Internet is best treated as a source of malicious noise.
I think I should have said 'very high taxes'.
