There might be a few narrow cases where using regex to parse XML/HTML might make sense, but even in majority of the cases where it might conceivably work it doesn’t make sense because XML/HTML parsing libraries exist and the time and effort you spend building, debugging, and maintaining your brittle, limited, ad hoc parser is still wasted effort that increases both the time to deliver and maintenance cost of the project it is part of.
These numbers are only meant to make certain countries look better. The climate will ultimately only look at the global total amount of CO2.
The article mentions the pebble can handle 1600 C, and then they say it's meltdown proof. How is it meltdown proof?

I assume if the rocket core runs nominally at 1000 C, if for some reason the propellant flow is lessened, it would heat up to 2000 C and just melt? Also, melting changes geometry, potentially to the direction of more nuclear reactions, meaning runaway. This has always been a problem with gas cooled particle bed reactors.

Now, maybe there is a mechanism that prevents meltdown, it just isn't mentioned in the article.
That's true, but the converse is that it's easy for many of the people buying their velvet Jesus' and Thomas Kinkade paintings to ignore the Van Gogh's and Picassos (well, ok, these are hard to miss, but insert your favorite "serious", "great" painters here).

And fans of whatever the scifi equivalent is of the trashiest of romance novels might never get to seriously give Ursula Le Guin a chance.

I think that's a pity.

People are getting balkanized and locked in to their favorite echo chambers. In one sense its good, because you're not getting your tastes and preferences dictated to from the ivory tower by some gatekeeper elites, but on the other hand I think a lot of people are missing out on discovering some amazing art, music, and literature because they're so enclosed in their little bubble from which many never dare to or even think of escaping.
Do you have sources or reading material to substantiate your confidence? I'm interested in this area.
I’ve always felt the same about the usefulness of fining police departments for committing offenses against the citizens who fund them in the first place.
Well for one, the language says a copy is made at the time of the function call, and it's perfectly valid to modify the original before the copy is finished being used. So pretty much any potentially aliasing write or function call in the callee would force a copy, and as he notes C's aliasing rules are lax enough that that's most of them.

Then if you care about the possibility of signal handlers modifying the original... you pretty much have to make a copy every time anyway.
I am not saying that Apple has always built bad software.

I am saying that design is their forte and that their engineering culture is mostly focused around it, software is built to impress.

Their products are meant to be the final form, not a tool to build something else.

And this has implications for the quality of the code, fortunately they also inherited a lot from the Unix culture, but overall I've rarely been impressed by the quality of their software, and I've sometimes been appalled by it.

Itunes, Quicktime or the first iterations of OSX...
If you fully want to renounce US citizenship, sure. You'll pay a hefty exit tax in doing so.

You can already do this, though. Monaco exists. That folks like Bezos, Musk, and Gates stick around in the US indicates some intangible benefits here that justify paying some tax.
"Most creative and productive people, entities and businessed did, do and will use any tools at their disposal to escape barbaric tax racket"

Would they prefer to do business in a society without benefits bought by taxes, where education is scant, crime is common, infrastructure and roads a crumbling and police is glorified mafia.

Guess what, Amazon doesn't work in Russia because they cant make money there
So what you are against is rich people not paying the taxes they are supposed to be paying, not against 'higher taxes'.

I used to think like you, until I realized that the people sinking millions of dollars in every electoral campaign to push candidates friendly to 'lower taxes' are the ones who are already taking advantage of every loophole.

It randomises the order. “English instances” just filters out instances which do not list English as a language; that doesn't mean English is the primary language of the instances that are left.
Need to save at least 50% of take-home salary into a high-yield investment account. One-way street. Even during retirement, you'd be scraping out only the interest/DRIP. Further, always pay cash (ie, avoid debt). Even for a car. Even for an education. Even for a house.

Then you can see the truth.
I took the harsh route. I sent an email to all my contacts saying that I was on matrix and/or email and would not be on whatsapp anymore. It's a bit sudden and most of my contact will never message me again, but I'm fine with that.

Politicians, public officials...

A lot of the people using these schemes are either in the category mentioned above or in fairly highly regulated industries like finance. I don't know about you but the combination of politicians (a famously trustworthy bunch) and financial secrecy sounds less than optimal for everyone else.
What makes you so sure? Personally, that bubble burst for me a long time ago. I hope I'm wrong. I'd love a new insight or even any tips that might give me more of a chance to see that discovery.
It is harder and harder for US persons to put their money abroad. All foreign banks must declare US Persons to the US authorities.

I am sure some figure out ways, but you have to go in dodgier places.

This is a new development is the last 10-20 years, so there is progress. It should help people trust the system is getting fairer.

If one is against taxes, and uses lack of enforcement as a reason, I smell dishonesty.

regardless of cargo-culting or not, the rebuttal explains why the famous answer is utterly wrong: the problem can be solved by regular expressions and it cannot be solved using an xml parser. While the answer is funny and probably good general advice, it is incorrect.
If they remove the ads, reorganize the feed, stop showing crap and let me focus on the things that are worth seeing, don't optimize for spending more time on the site, etc then not only would I pay a reasonable amount, but I would use FB more.

I remember FB as a place I would want to go and share content. These days I only spend a few minutes checking my notifications (and FB is definitively getting wise to that because they are putting more and more irrelevant things into them).
Shoe Dog is excellent
It’s part of a solution, not the entire solution. But even if you improved tax law you’re still going to need a well-resourced and highly skilled IRS capable of properly auditing multinationals and the very wealthy.
Government has all the tools to make it worthwhile for billionaires to keep money within the economy.

And governments of course has a ways to convince them that doing that is not wise.

High taxes is the easiest way to deplete economy from productive individuals and their resources.
Great, but there are many more mid-six-figure earners who don't have >$10M in household net worth. And if you tax mid-six-figure earners, you get them, too. If you want to target wealth over $10M, tax wealth over $10M.
As a software guy, rebuilding many of the features of Amazon that users love isn't awfully hard or expensive.

I think it's a unique combination of logistics and tech which few companies manage to successfully pursue. Things like hooking up the cash register system to the website so the website doesn't say "in stock" when someone has bought the last one. It's pretty easy for someone techy to do that, but there is rarely a sufficiently techy person on staff in a typical small business.
Yeah that was a good one; promise a tax cut for the rich, and give a slight tax cut to the rich in low tax states and screw people in high tax states (which happen to mostly be were the proposer of the tax cut didn't get votes anyway).

On the plus side, between the limit on SALT deduction and the increased standard deduction, the mortgage interest deduction is almost effectively dead; which is something that has needed to get removed, but nobody wanted to do it. Now it's technically there, but almost useless, so best of both worlds.
Just bought the book, thanks for the suggestion!
I have a NAS which I could probably open up and seed a lot of Scihub content from. But what are the odds that something bad would happen to me, and how bad? Like, a fine? or a raid and jail time?
On the other hand, the center of a star is much hotter than the periphery, so there are potentially more accessible states in phase space for the particles in the former location (it's "can be in N positions in phase space", which depends on the available physical space and the possible velocities).

Not that this would affect California vs Rhode Island analogies, unless you could demonstrate that things in Rhode Island were a lot hotter...
Those taxes will be passed onto the majority in the form of price hikes.

Further, with current inflation rates, $400k will be solidly middle-upper class in a few years from now.
Can't you make it expensive to move money overseas by taxing such moves?
Very nice! How long did this take to do approximately?

>> Educate them on what?

"...educate others how to earn good money and live a good, productive lifestyle".

You may add to that many other educational resources and lots of them are free. People who are willing to learn will learn.

People who are unwilling to learn and prefer to rob and loot - will continue doing so.
Other parts of the program can modify the object after the callee has started, if the callee contains some synchro there would be no race. At this point maybe you can think of additional tricks like CO"W" before any potential synchro point if some exist, but I'm not sure big advantages would remain except if you very carefully craft your program knowing all of that for the opti to happen, and it seems a lot of complexity in the compiler for limited gains, especially since if you have to massage the code you could as well transform to a reference yourself at source level (and that would better resist to e.g. calling unknown functions from the callee)
Which high taxes are part of.

Raising taxes is an admission that current tax policy, and the other side of the coin, the government spending policy, are awfully designed.

Of course there has never been a competent design since taxes always need to be higher to "reduce" the ever increasing wealth gap higher taxes were supposed to be tackling in the first place.

Just for once we could try something different maybe?
I think the basic reason why low-code / no-code works is down to software bugs.

Bugs are a function of number of engineers, features, moving parts, and significant lines of code.

No-code takes out engineers, moving parts, and SLoC from the equation (as far as the enterprises buying these solutions are concerned), but leaves a lot to be desired in terms of feature set; low-code brings down number of engineers, and SLoC, whilst providing flexibility in terms of bespoke feature sets.

Also, another reason is, in essence, No-code and Low-code are natural extension of the cloud computing model in which capex is traded away for opex. And economies of scale, over time ensures, Low-code / No-code is going to be cheaper yet more reliable than anything one (tech-enabled) enterprise can roll on their own.
Taxes are paid on profits, investing reduces your profits, so if they want to invest, they don't have to pay taxes.

Taxes literally are used as a tool to incentivize investing in the economy.

Are you serious? 400K definitely makes you rich. As if you do that for 10 years you have 4M dollars, 20 years? $8M I get that COL lowers that, but if you are making 400K you're not renting.
Huh? This wasn't an apple hack. This was developers using counterfeit xcode I believe, and those developers apps were then hacked using non-genuine development tools.

The lesson here is that it's probably important to do things like the non-apple battery warnings etc because the scammers and hackers will not stop attacking the platform.
The top .1% own as much wealth as the bottom 90%.

For better or worse the only way that type of inequality happens is as a direct result of the policies of the country they live in, thus they should be grateful and thankful for living in a country that not only allows but promotes that type of concentration of wealth.

In exchange for the benefit of living in such a country that promotes such wealth inequality, they should pay a 90% tax rate to reflect the wealth inequality itself. They will bitch and moan of course, but they will still be far richer and better off than everyone else, and everyone else will be better off not living in a country with such high inequality and a country with tremendous national resources, as opposed to a country that is $28T in debt further decreasing the quality of life of those without the personal wealth to not need public services.
We are going to die and never come back, 100%.
Primarily because their unique value add to society has been growing (due to technology), and the unique value add of the bottom 50 percent has been decreasing (due to technology and globalization).

Take JK Rowling as an example. Her work added significant value to the lives of hundreds of millions, and she got a slice of all that value creation (say, 30 percent of it). Nobody is worse off. Everyone is better off. Her value proposition was magnified by the scale afforded to her by modern day distribution and movie deals, which is why she got so fabulously wealthy compared to what an author could've achieved (relative to their surrounding population) 100 years ago.

The poorest people inside developed countries on the other hand have had a decreasing value add to society. This is partly because of automation and partly because of globalization and the fact they now have to compete with 1 billion Chinese who work harder than them and for less.

Throwaway for obvious reasons

Since the world is lacking in the department of opinion of wealthy men, 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* 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.

* Yes, this is a joke
* Later I confirmed with said client, he was still angry at it
Hey, I just heard about him on GothamChess. Good for him!

I think the criticism is more that the way things are being articulated is the same kind of language that’s being used by people to make things sound more interesting than they actually are.

At least, that’s how I interpret it. I don’t think at all it has anything to do with being stupid. On the contrary, it’s usually the smarter people that can see through the smoke screen and realize “oh he’s just talking about 3D printed wood”.
Well I do not know why some taste so wrong - are not ripe enough (I have checked them with my refractometer and Brix was lower). Not sure about nutrition but taste is different. When I buy some street-food like burger or falafel and see those tomatoes in there with white-red flesh I feel so sad. Cherry tomatos can be good even in supermarket - just not in winter. I do not know why - I think there are LED lights that can help - they maybe just do not bother.

Anyway I live in zone 7b and grow them outside (seeding inside at the end of February and transplantig them outside in May - usually after 15th of May but as weather is changing here it can be even sooner). And taste is so good. From cherry tomatoes to really big ones. From 20 to 60 plants you can be self sufficient. Eat them fresh, preserve tomato sauce and dry them.
Owns a reasonable home in a decent school district with a commute around 30 minutes. Eats out a few times a month. Takes 1-2 vacations a year. If upper middle class, savings adequate to gradually upgrade housing, send kids to University of State, etc. If regular middle class, home will be maintained against entropy and kids will take out student loans. Either way, will retire at the usual time.

In some places $400k can give 8 families this life. In others not even one. It depends.
Just like many comments on HN keeps arguing that Apple is better than Google because of privacy then Epic is the good guy in this because more walled gardens are better than only one even if it is still not open.

Sorry to disappoint you but olive oil adulteration is common and big business:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_oil#Adulteration

> There have been allegations, particularly in Italy and Spain, that regulation can be sometimes lax and corrupt.[90] Major shippers are claimed to routinely adulterate olive oil so that only about 40% of olive oil sold as "extra virgin" in Italy actually meets the specification.[91] In some cases, colza oil (extracted from rapeseed) with added color and flavor has been labeled and sold as olive oil.[92] This extensive fraud prompted the Italian government to mandate a new labeling law in 2007 for companies selling olive oil, under which every bottle of Italian olive oil would have to declare the farm and press on which it was produced, as well as display a precise breakdown of the oils used, for blended oils.[93] In February 2008, however, EU officials took issue with the new law, stating that under EU rules such labeling should be voluntary rather than compulsory.[92] Under EU rules, olive oil may be sold as Italian even if it only contains a small amount of Italian oil.[93]

Transformers suffer from a quadratic bottleneck when calculating attention. Much work has been done investigating where memory can be saved by being more explicit on which attentions to calculate. This repo implements transformers with noted improvements
We don’t have two-way communication or any context to understand the intention. We have “To our surprise…,” and “Surprisingly,….” These phrases in the context of writing, absent other context, have the same meaning. This isn’t really an opinion.

An author’s intention cannot be inferred without additional context. So no, the author’s intention per se does not matter in the context of this conversation. Extending that to mean it never matters isn’t at all what I said.
Which isn’t bad, but here in Ohio we pay $.04/kWh so to “fill up” our Tesla (standard range) it’s about $2.65 :)
From my understanding how you can help farming with software.

You have supercharging current methods which most of the projects in the OpenTeam initiative are doing which seems to be turning into the AgStack Foundation if I understand it correctly. Think adding smart sensors might be some of what they are planning with the framework and importantly all the planning and managing of farms which the strangely named FarmOs is doing ( I say strangely since it's not an OS ).

The other is doing things with hardware and software that aren't mimicking or supercharging current methods but just implementing a new and more efficient way of doing things. Think the difference between making a perfect robot hand and making thing that grips. Both do the same thing but one is not trying to do the same things as the other. So here you have things like Farmbot that probably need so be split into separate stages of operation if it is going to scale at a farm field level.

I feel like we are past the making a better tractor and other farm machinery phase and are moving into automating everything we can phase. Because the problem with our current processes is that they are stressing soil and the nature too much. By having diverse crops in the same field you both minimize the impact of soil, groundwater problems, salting and stuff like that, but also minimizing the risks in farming where you rely on futures commodity markets instead of having a wide balance of produce.

But I'm no expert and haven't put much thought into this. Just want us to head in the right direction and make sure we invest in the right things.
