No.

Its not well known, but large multinationals actually get ("opinions", "guidance", etc.) from their tax authorities ahead of the implementation of a tax scheme.

The polemic in the press is that the tax authorities 'uncovered' a scheme. This is more-often not the case.
ahah sorry about that! I merely wanted to add that to the conversation but I should've replied to the previous message.
Hydrogen is likely a much better fit for semi trucks, aircraft, boats, and remote rail lines than electric cars. The advantage is twofold, first you can produce and then cheaply store it for weeks and it very quickly refills a car.

However the downsides and required infrastructure is massive. Overall it’s simply a poor fit vs modern EV’s but just close enough to viable to get significant investments.
The discussion was about android, not about samsung.
Docker containers aren't provably secure. If you want isolation, use a VM that doesn't have host file system access. This way, if the VM is compromised, just throw it away and it can't leak out the way containers do.
Jose Valim, the creator and primary author of Elixir, actually wrote Devise.
If you read the article, it clearly states that high-resolution images are now available and permitted by US law:

> "As a result of recent changes to US regulations, the imagery of Israel and Gaza is being provided at 40cm resolution," Maxar said in a statement.
Hydride tanks don't require those high pressures. Other than nuclear arms treaties, is there a technical reason they don't use those instead?
Interestingly, this demand is being felt in terms of increased prices of solar panels. Solar modules are currently trading at 15-20% higher (relative to end of last year) due to high demand and raw material shortage. This is further exacerbated by shipping and container issues. The long term downward price pressure has been incredibly helpful but we need more capacity and raw material for the downward price pressure to continue relative to increase in demand.

"The md5 algorithm needs to be rewritten with performance in mind"

Poked around a little, and this area seems a bit under-researched since MD5 went out of favor for many use cases. For example, the SubtleCrypto digest doesn't support it.

There's this WASM implementation[1], that shows 2-37 MB/sec, presumably on fairly modern hardware. But, I can also find an old pure Javascript implementation[2] that shows 5-7 MB/sec on an ancient Pentium4 running Opera[2]. Makes you wonder how it would fare with a recent Chrome/V8 and hardware. There's online tests, but with small inputs and Chrome is fast enough that I get a lot of NaN/Infinity.

Maybe it would be better to use SHA-1 or some other digest supported by the built-in browser SubtleCrypto package. Wouldn't technically be rsync, but this package seems to be intended for use on both sides.

I assume she is not living in the US, otherwise she'd be in jail by now.

it should not be legal for the FBI to get data on her directly from Apple. at least it should go through the law enforcement of her country of residence.
Hm, not really, they have different use cases, and Containers was never meant to 100% replace Profiles.

Containers are for being able to keep separate identities in the same browser window, but on a per-tab basis.

Profiles are for being able to separate different browser instances, with all their settings, extensions and so on.

While Profiles was used before to do the same thing that Containers now allow you to do, there are things you cannot do with Containers that you'll need to use Profiles for. Having separate extensions for different sessions is one of those things.
Yes. Gasoline has a relatively narrow ignition range, it has much less rigorous sealing requirements, and it burns with a flame that's visible in daylight.

The problem is that we can't easily make gasoline with solar panels and water.
If we're going to store energy by generating H2, is it more efficient to consume it in small cars rather than in big plants that convert it back to electrical power on demand?
Multiplayer Doom on Cloudflare Workers
How do you explain the same exact global reaction in 2006, when Hezbollah started a war by kidnapping and killing Israeli soldiers on the border and firing missiles into Israel? Massive protests, 'Israel is committing war crimes/genocide', followed by international condemnation.

OP that you're responding to is exactly correct - there is zero outrage against the Syrian or Yemen Civil war (where Iranian-funded troops have starved thousands of people to death). Same goes for the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Same goes for Ethiopia vs Tigray.
I think that you are right that the cost is too high compared to other cheaper alternatives, like reconnaissance aircraft on the Israel side. Keeping the images blurred removes the free option so military on each side has to spend resources on the problem. I am however skeptical that it fully stops anyone from getting access to mapping data.

I am a bit surprised however that there would not be more satellites that is commercial operated. I keep hearing about old weather satellites that gone past their period of commercial operation in favor of newer ones, and the old ones still having decent cameras and other sensors to provide maps of buildings and structures. With about 6000 satellites currently operating around the earth there should a pretty steady stream of old ones being replaced, and I would think many of them do get reused for new purposes.
> ...state-driven financial punishment on police...

You need to stop thinking that punishment works. Punishing people, like with dogs, rarely serves any purpose beyond "feeling of justice".

Such "feelings of justice" don't tend to make the world a better place.

I'm no expert, but if you remove perverse incentives and train officers to resolve conflicts without violence, then you'll probably get very far.

Prosecuting police officers is a difficult way to change policing culture.
All true, though to be fair CO2 savings with electric cars also only range, depending on car and country (i.e. local infrastructure and means of electricity production), from 0% to 35% of lifetime CO2 emissions of an equivalent ICE car). https://theicct.org/sites/default/files/publications/EV-life...

I'd be much more concerned about Lithium batteries, when they're exposed to air, they reeeeally go up fast.
Hydrogen car is much less comfortable and more expensive to use than electric car - few refueling stations, much lower energy efficiency.

Maybe for long distance transport hydrogen makes sense, because you can have a big tank and CO2 impact is lower than gasoline/diesel, but this will require incentives/subsidies from the state to make economic sense.
The key is probably the word "municipal". Most of the UK for example has public buses, but they are not run by local authorities - only the ones in London are.

> Google My Business is the worst, full of bugs and piss poor 3rd world country support staff.

This I simply don't understand. Google Maps would be nothing against their competition if it wasn't for almost every single business being on there. But then the support and UX for actually being a business on Google Maps is absolutely horrific, and I think they simply stopped caring about it. As you say, it's full of bugs and every upgrade to the UX seems to make it worse for us as well. Not sure what's going on in Google's brain, but I'm afraid they have run out of lamp oil.

So let's just stop pretending that all the data Google has is even remotely problematic compared to the cases described above, supported by US/UK/EU governments.

Apparently disrupting someone's medical and/or mental health treatment is a perfectly acceptable way to deal with an unpaid traffic ticket. Using a woman's gynecologist and/or psychiatrist visits and what medication was prescribed is a perfectly valid argument to be used in alimony or child custody proceedings. It can apparently be used in simple commercial conflicts about unpaid bills too, or for eviction.

That IS the standard we are using. This is not "what might happen". This is what happens. This is what we have democratically decided is the protection afforded to private information. In other words: no protection whatsoever. Evicting a wife and kids because the husband got help for an alcohol addiction is how we ARE doing things.

Is Google/Apple/Facebook/... remotely problematic compared to that? No.

Just ...

Just no.

Are governments arguing the evilness of Amazon collecting information to suggest a birthday present for your niece 2 weeks before her birthday ... when they themselves send armed policemen into houses to take kids into CPS custody, to be rendered onto her ex (you know, doing it this way "to avoid trauma") based on the mother's medical file?

Yes. Yes they are. And let's not talk about the effects of that on kids, because if there's one thing such actions do NOT do, it's avoiding trauma in anyone. Even the fucking police officers are complaining it takes them days to recover from the screams of such children.

THAT is what we ARE using everyone's private information for.
> Obviously taxes on revenue would not need to be as high as on profit to generate the same tax income

No income has been generated by a business running at a loss. You had a number of things. Now you have less. Nothing was generated. You can distribute all you want, but you have less all of the time.

> It would also be hell of a lot simpler, because all those crazy shell company incentives go away

There's nothing wrong with shell companies. If you want to do anything, you have to register a business. It's just lazy journalism.
I personally think we'll see charging poles next to most public parking spaces before we see a sufficiently built out network of H2 'gas stations'.
Take into account that in some applications, you're not replacing like with like.

Thermodynamic efficiencies mean that you need to have 2-3x less primary energy to get the same amount of final energy when your primary energy is already electric generation.

The UK went from 2% to 42% electrical generation from renewable sources (not including nuclear) and almost half of that increase happened between 2015 and 2020. That's only electricity, of course, but a good chunk of transportation is going to come off of fossil fuels in the next 10 years as well.

Most likely transitions will take a logistic curve, slow ramp-up, followed by a fast phase, followed by a slowing as the hardest problems are tackled.
TLDR: it used to be illegal under US law to distribute high-resolution images of Israel and Gaza. Now it's not. High-resolution images are available for purchase from satellite imaging companies but they haven't made it into Google Maps yet.

I can't tell whether this is supposed to be sneaky self-promotion or a real question, but I'll answer it nonetheless:

- MacBooks have camera indicators - they can be bypassed, but give a sense of security to most people

- A hard-plastic cover is likely just as cheap but has no limited lifespan

- A hard-plastic cover is, by the looks of it, easier to use

- Some people just don't care

- Finally, your website says that 50 people ordered today. Unless that's a marketing scam, it sounds like people _are_ buying your product.

In this case it makes perfect sense to mention how densely populated Gaza is because the reader probably doesn't know much about Gaza other than it's occupied by Israel. Every other area with the population density of Gaza looks very different on Google Maps.
With a USD60K salary, I assume that the Uruguayan you are responding to is in the 1%. So he's not just paying for his own health care and education, he's probably covering health care and education for ~10 people.
See, this is the type of misleading prose people (Google included) use to confuse non-tech-savvy people.

There's a difference between

a) Keeping Google's users' data safe from being stolen from attackers (as in Google being hacked or having less restricted access to that data etc); and

b) Google collecting information about their users interactions with their properties (analytics, search queries, e-mail, etc) and partners, and selling it to the highest bidder or sharing it with third-parties or their partners.

Google's current narrative is mixing these two. And the whole point of the privacy debate is exactly the two points I've made earlier.

Google collect data about their users and they sell it PERIOD - it's that simple to understand.

It'd do wonders if people stopped misleading other people about this issue, especially the non-tech-savvy.

P.S.: And I'd say the same thing about any other company. I'm not against Google per se - I'm against any company that bases their bottom line on profiling people and selling that data.
Considering APPLE goes so far to make you confirm DUNS numbers for a company acct. It seems like this would have been a good mitigating practice and already has precedence. While it’s a PITA it makes sense.
It’s more things like purchasing something that requires ToS acceptance, but they expire your entire session after ten minutes (think airlines as an example where this is almost reasonable), but they have far more than ten minutes’ worth of ToS for you to read.

I say “theoretically” because most jurisdictions have steadily headed in the direction of ignoring consumer-grade terms of service and EULAs, to the point of only considering terms that a reasonable person would expect to find there to be enforceable, since culturally it’s reached the point where it’s understood that no one reads them.
That's a logical fallacy: appeal to authority. Didn't the CDC claim that masks don't help against the virus just last year? Expertise didn't prevent them from (knowingly) making a false claim back then, and there's nothing wrong with healthy skepticism now.
they can't travel anywhere outside their countries I guess. even if the could, legally, I bet they won't risk it. speculating: maybe they also get issues with local banking, e.g. converting money or opening credit cards. banks are all connected and they might enforce the sanctions to be on the safe side.
I can't speak for the EU, but frankly I think that ship has long since sailed here in the US. Our country is so far up its own ass it can see the back of its teeth. My estimation is that meaningful change will only come in the form of total collapse.
DSingularity above is talking about 2% owning 8% of the land, with "92% accept that so much of what is rightfully theirs would be forcefully taken from them".

If you are saying I am confusing land and people, what is the 2% and 8% number referring to in the above comment? People and land? If so, what people, and what land?

Hey Stefan, nice to see you here :)
As has been said, you can't really go wrong with adding organic matter to your soil. Probably that means lots of manure if you can get it and then mulch.

A really simple way to see how good or bad your soil is starting out is to just dig up a couple of lumps of earth and see if you find earthworms. If you do, then you're off to a good start!

Evernote has a normal Gmail account listed. So maybe this goes hand in hand with having a bad product.
I also wonder a lot how daily life (aka what 'modern' society call work) felt like in a group. It seems that in smaller places (villages, tribes) you're linked to everybody, your efforts are giving visible benefits to people you know, it's to make the group thrive. Maybe more motivating than an abstract duty for some big corp in a large field.
10,000PSI hydraulics are rapidly becoming cookie cutter commodity parts. Once you have the supply chain for all the little crap that nickles and dimes you the rest is a lot cheaper. Having industry expertise at working at those pressures really has a huge multiplier effect on everything else.

Building a system to plumb stuff from A to B at a pressure nobody uses is expensive. Calling up a sales rep and asking for slightly modifications on an existing product line so it can be used with your product is pennies by comparison.

The pitch from companies offering "stores" like these (Apple, Google, Microsoft) is that they're for the protection of users. Apple can't stop scams, Google can't stop scams, Microsoft can't stop scams. It's time we saw these stores for their true purpose: platform control, vendor lock-in, and in the case of pay stores, recurring services revenue. They were never about protecting users.

The point is that there are many cultures of which people claim "they are so direct". I've heard it said about Bangladeshis and Israelis too.

It may be true. A significant part of the world may be outside the "always lie to avoid offense" way of conducing yourself.

I would also say that "being direct" and "saying difficult things" are often not be the same. The former may just be "saying whatever pops into your head" whereas the latter is much more carefully considered.
