> If said company only does business in Canada i see no reason for them to be accountable to the US, Germany or China.

So, to be clear, you are explicitly arguing for the case where the internet should be siloed on a country-by-country basis unless participants are willing and able to establish a legal business presence in every country they’re accessible from? That’s what “doing business” means on the internet.

I think a major advantages for me are easy bookmark-ability and sharing via URLs to people who may not have the app. You can bodge workarounds for those things in an offline app, but now the bookmarks aren't in my browser or I have to copy them to it, or the people I share the doc to are just looking at a browser rendered viewer or something.

While Docs hits 95% of my needs there's still that 5% and I suspect most of those are held back by the current implementation architecture. Hopefully moving to a Canvas based system will enable them to more easily add complex features.

Whilst the traffic didn't seem to be going past too quickly, it still looked extremely dangerous to me. Since there was a safe exit to the right I would have gotten out immediately. But he stays put, outwardly appearing to feel safe, even after the vehicle reverses into oncoming traffic, and is clearly not under control of the support services.

That's actually an interesting one - for gcc at least `.S` indicates an assembly file that requires preprocessing via `cpp`, and `.s` does not. You could definitely wire it up such that a different extension indicates preprocessing (and there might be some others already), but the typical convention would run into this problem. Of course, you're not supposed to check in the preprocessed source, but you'd likely run into the problem at build time when it tries to create the preprocessed file with the same filename as the original, so it doesn't really solve the problem.

Just because Encarta existed, didn't mean Wikipedia shouldn't; or because NFS exists, Dropbox shouldn't. They can be solutions to the same problem. In git's case though, it sounds more like a abuse of its underlying properties (not to mention, you'd have to block all git commands that can rewrite history).
That doesn't work. Say you purchase car for 0.5BTC today. Tommorrow BTC goes up. You ask for a refund and immediately buy the same car back for say 0.25BTC. Free discount. Who would not do it?

Core of this is that BTC (atleast right now) is a highly volatile, speculative asset. There is no way direct payments in BTC will make common "market sense" until volatility stabilizes. Until then someone has to take responsibility for bearing that volatility, either the customer or the manufacturer. In this case, it's apt that the customer bears it (as they should, it's their gamble).
Pizza Compass
That sounds like a good interpretation. Sometimes the answer is more mundane though, the writer realised that thought out of the blue, at that time and the profundity - if the writer even realised it - came later. The link, whilst less satisfying in literary terms, could just be 'sudden revelations of things that were staring me in the face the whole time'.

But in this case it does seem purposeful, and I'd imagine your analysis is correct.
Indeed, it all boils down to the way Python community doesn't embrace such projects.

Usually Python's high dynamism comes into the picture as main reason, however Smalltalk and SELF are just as dynamic, you can change the whole image at any given point in execution.

In Smalltalk it suffices to send a become: message to change the complete meaning of an object, and references to it, across the whole image.

I suspect, yes - I imagine that a lot of the mental trauma stems from a feeling of helplessness being trapped beyond the furthest boundary fringes of our typical existence.

If technology develops enough and we can have a fleet of starships on stand-by, then the moon might not be so bewilderingly frightening a place to feel trapped as Mars would, with its much longer journey times and periodically grander distances and Delta-Vs from Earth.

>What do you think is a reasonable effective income tax rate? (Please do not confuse effective and nominal tax rates!) In my view: "All in" should be about 50-55%. When I say "all in" I mean absolutely everything -- federal, state, local, national pension, national health (if applicable), yada yada yada.

Who is this for? The “rich” or for everyone else?

An effective rate of 50-55% is obscene. I would relocate for anything approaching 40%.
Some of it is that, some of it is just simple greed. Many people think they're too good to fall for pyramid schemes and MLM, yet they'll dump money into cryptocurrencies or some meme stock because they think it'll make them millionaires.

I too believe that the blockchain is mostly useless outside of buying drugs online, yet I don't think cryptocurrencies are going anywhere any time soon. It's effectively become a casino for millenials and zoomers where everybody hopes to become a millionaire overnight. Some even succeeded.

No amount of technical argumentation is going to change that.

More recently I’ve been using an HP Prime (which I adore, but it’s a bit of an overkill in many ways) and the NumWorks with Epsilon (which is underwhelming in other ways, principally the CAS and lack thereof/need to use a separate and rather clunky interface for Xcas).

The SR-22 can recover from a spin, using conventional anti-spin control inputs. EASA testing showed that.

It is true that Cirrus secured an “equivalent level of safety” ruling during FAA certification and so did not demonstrate conforming spin recovery in flight testing here, but it can recover.

So it depends. For example in Argentina, they AFAIK have two conversion rates. When you use a normal bank account, you have to use government conversion rate that's 50% of black market rate between Argentinian pesos and USDs. With Bitcoin, you could try black market straight away and even if you pay 2-5%, you might end up better.

For transaction rate, Trezor says at 22sat/B., you will have your transaction confirmed in 4 hours 10 minutes for $1.85.

Even if BTC price was stable, I would still use it. But my experience is that having some BTC is usually better than just having cash.

Ask HN: Best examples of machine learning and data science for business people?
Hello HN,

I am entering a role which requires me to advocate for increasing the use of Data Science within business/industry for my state.

Data Science and Machine Learning became IT buzzwords a few years ago, and I've noticed that sometimes medium/large business will allocate funding for Data Science, but not really know what Data Science is, or how best it might add value to their business. Often the people making the spending decisions are business/MBA types rather than technical experts.

I am required to create and deliver presentations to CEO/CFO level executives on the value of Data Science. What are the best examples, the best 'wow' demos, the clearest case studies that show the value of these types of solutions? I want to get these people excited about Data Science / Machine Learning and the best way to do this is with concrete examples.

Please remember I'm not looking to train MBAs on how to perform Data Science - I'm looking to help these business focussed people understand how Data Science / ML might be useful within their organisation.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, but the web isn’t very consistent already. The main set of common elements are buttons, links, form elements and scroll bars. Just about everything else is done custom on every webpage you visit.

I don’t think we should get rid of the common UI elements (if anything we need more of them & better APIs for them). But what Google docs, and flutter seem to really want is a simpler, more primitive way to create a layout out of those UI elements. Buttons and scrollbars are great. We need something more primitive than the DOM and CSS. Houdini is a solid start here.

Yes I think greed is the simplest explanation for the explosion of interest in bitcoin and other similar schemes. They are constructed so that early adopters benefit, and benefit most if they shill the coin to others, and so they do, using various narratives about worldchanging technology, a new paradigm etc, etc.
I completely agree, but for a more complete analysis, we would have to consider the fatality rate for the sort of crashes in which CAPS is employed.

IIRC, Cirrus is now encouraging pilots to use CAPS in any engine failure with sufficient altitude for it to work, on account of the number of such accidents, in CAPS-equipped aircraft, where the pilot chose not to use it, and someone aboard was killed or seriously injured. This will presumably further muddy the used/saved ratio, while probably increasing the total number of saved.

In a collision situation, at least one as violent as this one, you can't be sure whether some vital control or structure has been damaged to the point where it is about to fail, so using a parachute of any sort, where feasible, seems to be the rational choice.

Quite by accident, I came across this pucker-inducing article a couple of days ago, where thre's little doubt that bailing out, if it were an option, would have been the right thing to do, even though this flight ended safely in this case.

https://airfactsjournal.com/2019/03/student-flight-control-j...

(On second thoughts, if the pilot had a parachute, he could have attempted to free up the controls without making his situation any worse.)
When I first started I charged $40/hour and met a developer who was working for a new client who told me I was crazy, that I was underpaying myself and that by charging too little I was giving reasons to clients not to take me seriously.

I then started charging 100$/hour and I got better results when looking for clients, ended up being more respected by those same clients and was less overworked so happier overall.

Over the last 10 years, I've steadily increased that rate until it's now 300$/hour. I don't charge that all clients, in some cases I worked for a lot less in exchange for equity (which has proven to be a very good idea) but having a high rate allows me to have the flexibility to offer that with some clients.

In Germany, vehicles have emissions ratings, with a corresponding windshield sticker. https://www.germanemissionssticker.com/ Vehicles below a certain threshold are banned from "low emission zones" defined by local governments; most are densely built inner city areas.

I don't think they make much of a difference reducing traffic, since the requirements for a rating that will let you drive everywhere are really easy to fulfil. But I suppose they trim the worst of the worst.
Politicians use Science the way they used to use Religion; for political gain.
To add to another comment larger planes have much better redundancy (multiple engines, multiple control lines, multiple pilots, etc.) so the situations where a parachute would help are much much fewer. So weight is probably better spent on making the redundant systems even more redundant than anything else.
The subtle racism of low expectations has become blatant.

They don't, especially those who know they can find someone who's eager to jump in and work for less pay.

If you want to play with Pyodide in a web notebook you can try Starboard [1][2].

A sibling comment introduces JupyterLite and Brython, which are Jupyter-but-in-the-browser, whereas with Starboard I'm trying to create what Jupyter would have been if it were designed for the browser first.

As it's all static and in-browser, you can embed a notebook (or multiple) in a blog post, for instance to power interactive examples. The bundle size is a lot smaller than JupyerLite for the initial load - it's more geared towards fitting into existing websites than being a complete IDE like JupyterLab.

>Plenty of places where everybody gets the same raise and no bonuses each year especially outside of tech companies.

AFAIK this is mostly a government thing, and one of the reasons they don't have top-tier labor. Most private companies want to incentive their high achiever (even coinbase here). They usually just wait for high-achiever to ask for a raise and give out bonuses though.
