Refer to my response to another comment below; it is absolutely wrong to assume "this person takes a standard deduction so they haven't any tax forms to fill".

And this is not just limited to the Earned Income Tax Credit.

There are also Child Credits, Child and Dependent Care Credits, Adoption Credits, Residential Energy Credits (for those who got solar), Low-Income Housing Credits (for low-income home owners), American Opportunity Tax Credits (for those with low/middle incomes paying college expenses) ... and all of these are relevant to non-itemizers.

P.S. there are also above-the-line deductions available which reduce your AGI even if you take the standard deduction - an important one being the one for Student Loan Interest.
All true but on the good side the weight distribution of the BEV batteries is much better than the weight distribution of the ICE power train. So it's not all just about the amount of weight.

But why though? I mean, if I would like exactly 26 chars, this seems a nice way to get that. Even understanding that in C++ "char" is just a weirdly archaic way to say "byte" I might actually want that.

Obviously it's bogus for the language to let you say you want an array of 26 chars and then treat that as a reasonable place to write an unknown number of characters, but that's a language fault.
I should probably read it sometime, but I don't think "toeing the government line" aptly characterizes the media from 2016-2020. On the contrary, the media has had little except harsh criticism for the government in this time frame (which isn't to say that some or all of the criticism is undeserved, only that it seems to contradict the notion that the media toes the government line).
The limitation of "0x10000 operations" (64k) suprises me. Is that what can be submitted at once to the kernel, or also the amount of operations in-flight?

There's certainly a lot of servers out there which have more than 100k connections with low activity (keep-alive between HTTP requests, running messaging protocols, etc), where one read() operation would need to be enqueued for each connection for the case new data arrives or the connection closes. Is this supported or not?
I've done the deadline-via-management-boast thing, and it's highly corrosive. Burnout's especially bad when you look back when it's all done and ask "why?" and there's no answer.
I haven't seen evidence that it was merely a stunt. But in any case, the sovereign head of state was effectively detained for 12 hours, based on lies and coercion. That itself is outrageous. Belarus used a fighter jet pilot to deliver the lie about a bomb threat and convince the pilot to land, while U.S. lied to Western European governments through diplomatic channels about who was on the Bolivian plane. Both cases are a serious breach of international norms and rules in order to conduct rendition of a political criminal.
Defense spending has been going down as a percentage of GDP; the strength of the U.S. military is also the primary thing backing the US dollar, so I would be very careful stating "what does that do for me". There are forces at play which are not too visible at the individual level, but you are definitely affected by them just like everyone else.

I have been building my own SRS flashcard web app, targeted specifically for language learning. Your implementation, UX-wise, is similar to mine (e.g. I have nearly identical "flip" transition"). Your use of icons is nicer, and the color scheme you chose is excellent.

I like the trade that you made of not having persistent accounts. I wrestled with that idea for a portion of my site that features "pre canned" decks. Without looking at the implementation I suspect it could then be a completely client-side solution served as static files.

Nice work.
You're right, thanks. Edited.
its important to some people because they want to be able to blame China, I guess.

of course it's actually meaningless. the actual crime was the cover up that occurred after the virus was on the loose, delaying preparations and making containment impossible. we already know that happened
The music is terrible - (gives me 90's website MIDI audio PTSD :P) - but it's a cute idea.

> On the other hand, once all the satellites are up, clean observation of the sky becomes impossible.

The satellites are actively controlled and can be commanded to deorbit. If a court ordered it (incredibly unlikely), SpaceX could immediately order all the satellites to deorbit. This is a reversible situation if such a need arose.
It's odd that they haven't tried shipping a RedHat/Ubuntu derivative instead then.

> basically, you can move around with CMD+Arrow. Up goes up a directory, down goes down a directory (or opens the file). Left / Right go forward / back in history, like a browser.

This is really helpful to know - it's one of my biggest bugaboos about using Finder & navigating the Mac GUI.

On the other hand, I suspect this kind of obscure key-based shortcut is a big part of why Macs don't feel intuitive to a lot of users. How could I have known this shortcut exists? It's not broadcast anywhere obvious. My options for finding all these obscure shortcuts aren't great. I could scroll through a submenu in the Settings pane, hoping to find something that looks like it says the thing I'm trying to do (and then that I can figure out what keys it means, since Apple key symbology is VERY arcane). I could stumble across a mention of the shortcut in a forum like this. Or I could Google in the hope of finding something - though that assumes I believe it's doable in the first place, which I didn't in this particular case.

It would also help if Apple chose easier / more intuitive keyboard shortcuts. A "shortcut" which both is the only way to do something, and also requires pressing a minimum of four seemingly-random keys, is not a shortcut at all - it's a mental load on the user that they just have to hold in their heads forever.
I have worked professionally with both.
Let compare some features. Sticky notes, windows wins. Simpler, does not change background color of pasted text.
Keyboard layout, crtl key is simply more ergonomically placed on a windows keyboard.
Keyboard shortcuts for browsers, some of the shortcuts appear to be missing on Mac.
MS office suite, no comparison.
More hardware choice.
Updates are less of a hassle on Mac, her iOS wins imo.
Peripherals and price is windows all the way.
Search and settings appear better to me on windows, this could be subjective.
More freeware on windows.
Desktop management is better on windows.
Cortana and Siri equally suck.
Mac's look better on average, only the top of the line windows machines look and feel equal or better.
ok, so where I from tax fraud is also known as tax sin Steuersünde. it's not like an obstacle that you evade or a game where you dodge the ball. it's fraud and a crime, and not a game to win.

consequentially the German IRS has bought data from Swiss and Liechtenstein tax haven whistleblowers. several times so.
and to the amazement and applause of the public, very prominent figures went to jail. like soccer legend Uli Hoeneß.

the corresponding Wikipedia article is surprisingly not available in English yet:

https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steuers%C3%BCnder-CD

long story short: if you, the American people, elect representatives who want a fair system, you will get a fair system.

of course IRS will go after tax fraud at scale if you make them do that.
I think that's a pretty absurd argument. Like some sort of weird variation of fallacious slippery slope. So because someone is for international treaties on war crime he must be for global taxation rates? Would it be ridiculous to not just support a full on global government then since we already have bodies governing war crimes? That lazy line of thinking can be used for pretty much everything
I never even knew they existed until now. So much for so-called discoverability...
But we're talking "sought hospital care". In the west, when I hear "hospitalized", I translate that as admitted to hospital from the emergency department because your problems won't be solved in 12 hours.

In China, "hospital care" might just mean the clinics at the hospital. Even in the west, I know family doctor units that are based at the hospital and that's where you'd go for regular stuff.

Lockdowns are only effective if they are much closer to "all or nothing" than "regions can pick and choose".

That's the entire reason why the Tri-State area worked together to create and follow each other's lockdown policies.

If you have a piecemeal approach, people will flee the lockdown and bring the virus to wherever they go to continue the cycle. The lockdown (and masks) only work if you have high levels of coordination and compliance. That's why having a national policy is much more effective than a regional or state-level policy. That's also why China was much more effective (from the outside, if you believe anything about their numbers) than the West was.

Thanks! By the way, you can use client-side user accounts for custom decks as well. Just save user cards to local storage and allow the user to import/export their cards to a file by clicking a button. (In my opinion, local storage alone provides sufficient persistence for most user data, like which cards should be on which piles, but if the user goes through the trouble of creating a custom deck, we want to offer import/export as a backup feature, and also to be able to move decks across devices.)
It is fair to be concerned about the origin of the virus that continues to shake the world. The purpose of this investigation is 2 parts really -
1. to show political dominance/name calling
2. to be cautious in the future

Unfortunately, while (2) is still true, the majority of the news coverage is around (1).
I think if it can be proven that it came from their lab, A LOT of entities (companies, countries, and... individuals?) will be looking for reparations. Considering how many lives have been lost, impaired, companies bankrupt, money lost, etc. it would be highly consequential if the whole world (besides China's allies) agree to formally put the blame on China. Especially considering that they do not have UN veto super powers.
we should look at the big picture not just the percentages that those people are taxed at the end. Because in many cases the leading question is: How come they earn so much more than every one else? Is it through sheer talent and grit or is there something else going on? Inheritance, structures that benefit those with capital over those who labor, connections with the right people etc. etc. And after analyzing all that coming back to the question whether someone should earn 10.000 as much as another person who works the same hours? Should someone earn billions in a year and then use it for moon shots like going to mars? Is that what the society needs or can afford right now? Maybe. But for as long as there are people who work 40 hours a week and cannot afford a healthy life (e.g. having no trouble coming up with emergency money, dont have to commute 2h just to get to their minimum wage job etc.), there certainly is a structural problem going on. This structural problem can only be solved if - and that's the most important point - wealth is shared more equally. Meaning taxation (and all the structures that lead to income) has to take more from those who earn more and give to those who cannot give more. Well, that's if we want to live in a social society, if not forget what I said.
Thanks for this, maskrcnn looks like an interesting candidate
We to be fair their argument is 100% valid. Apple is very successful in selling their HW as is without the feature certain users want. The reality is that adding that feature would have a great deal of cost behind it for very little growth on their already impressive numbers. Everyone here on HN likes to criticize Apple for not allowing 3rd party stores, but in general wants their HW. This community is self selecting for the tech people so they think this is reasonable. My wife and kid and my friends that are not in tech do not care about 3rd party at all, and when I have asked them the answer is "I buy Apple because it just works and I do not have to think about it. That would add complexity I do not want!" This is Apples market, not HN were this is the norm:

Me: "Great, do not buy an Apple protect."
HN: "But I like their HW."
Me: "Well then you have to deal with their SW restrictions."
HN: "But I do not want to, why cannot they not just do this for me, it's just SW."

Wash, rinse, repeat on every story on AppleHW. I would really love to be able to read the comments on the interesting aspect of the story without 80% of the comments going back to this debate for once.

Apple is NOT a monopoly, therefor you cannot force them to change this. You can buy another device that allows you to install 3rd party stuff. Do that.
When Apple Argentina sells phones to Apple USA, and Apple Argentina makes profits, while Apple USA always shows a loss, how does this work? Apple Global (which owns both other companies)of course, shows a profit and their stock still goes up.
It goes without saying a virology lab of this level isn’t the same as most organizations. Given the nature of their activities they have safety systems in place to prevent a virus from spreading at the work place.
> special companies will arise that do the auditing for you

I think so too -- I had a look at Google's DPA and it seemed to me that when one agrees to Google's DPA, one agrees to trust some Google approved companies to do the auditing for everyone (for all Google cloud customers). Maybe there's not any other way to make it work (it'd be crazy with random people in their datacenters "auditing" things)

Government sources shouldn't be trusted without documentary evidence because they have clear alternative motivations.
> it is irrelevant outside of highlighting a need for additional safety protocols.

It calls into question the entire premise of this sort of research. If the risk of accidental release in the course of this research is greater than the risk of a natural pandemic, then the research should be discontinued. Of course anybody who is involved in this sort of research has a strong personal incentive to discourage such lines of thought, since it could end their careers.
Diplomatically, this is extremely relevant.

If Chinese state actors are culpable for the pandemic, it seems plausible other nations will seek damages from the Chinese government. If not paid, they may levy fines on commerce from Chinese companies.

However, I'm still very skeptical of "lab leak", I think the zoonotic origin is most likely. If the zoonotic origin resulted from poorly regulated wet markets, however, Covid is just as much a result of bad government policy by China as in the lab leak case.

China needs to convince the world that they have taken steps which will prevent Covid from ever happening again. At a minimum, this includes tightly regulating wet markets so that animals will be "socially distanced" with good ventilation, if not banning wet markets altogether. If China is unwilling to do this, they present an ongoing pandemic risk, and it seems reasonable for the rest of the world to restrict travel to China until they comply.
> Such as? The only use cases it addresses are upper class users who want to go off-grid

There are a lot of close-to-poverty-line indigenous communities in the US and Canada adopting Starlink. e.g.:

There are already loads of NGOs (e.g. [3]) operating in rural developing nations to install solar power for village community centers. It's a small step to install a shared satellite internet terminal at the same time.

The jump in quality of life and opportunities from zero connectivity to a 100MBps shared village link is massive. You hugely expand access to telehealth, weather information, education opportunities, etc.

Certainly the OP is not optimal for a thoughtful, substantive discussion. But responding to flamebait with flamewar is exactly what the HN guidelines ask everyone not to do here.

The thing to do with such a provocation is to leave it where you found it and move on to more interesting things. Dragging it into the comments and setting it on fire is definitely not the thing to do. I know how tempting it is, though; it's a temptation we all need to cultivate resistance to, which is hard work.

> Given the nature of their activities they have safety systems in place to prevent a virus from spreading at the work place.

This is a silly assertion. Precautions are taken against the viruses being studied in the labs themselves - gloves, hoods, special suits if you're working with something like Ebola - but when you go to the cafeteria or visit someone's office, it's unlikely people were masking or distancing etc. pre-COVID.

Colds/flus likely spread like they do at any other workplace.
As someone who was worked in Japan for 13 years, I can vouch that this is a very strong testimonial. A Japanese company will not adopt new technology like this unless it highly accurate.
> I’m not a researcher, and when I look at that photo, I feel like the sky is being stolen.

Unfortunately photos often distort reality, (which is the author's intent here). They purposefully stacked the multiple images in such a way to amplify the satellites clarity, rather than stacking them in a way that would instead have resulted in a clear sky but a slightly elevated noise floor.
Kazahstan is in Central Asia probably because it's so big. Even their timezones are prefixed with Asia. The Caspian Sea and the Ural Mountains are the eastern limits of Europe, so everything on the Caspian's west bank is in Europe. Astrakhan is in Europe for instance.
