Completely agree on all points, especially the last one. I'd argue that it's a very vicious way to remove international competition for the US now that they have effectively developed a thriving economy. It's just a much bigger form of regulatory capture Imo and some countries might gain way more by having lower taxes than whatever they would have with a 15% tax rate.

But to be clear my comment was really just about the specific wiki article he linked to and the weird rumours that spawned around it. Otherwise I usually don't even try to comment on anything related to economics or finance here on HN anymore, it's just not the... right platform for that Imo.

> In fact, you'll have a really hard time finding anyone who does not.

This part is a little false. It's actually pretty easy to find people without a transliterated version of the their name on a passport, because it's pretty easy to find people without a passport! But I agree that passports usually have a transliterated version of the name, at least every single passport I've ever seen for someone with a non-ASCII name does have a transliteration.
Hello and thank you.
Xoogler here. Back at Google, there was an explicit policy that "heroic" efforts result in at most a bump of one level on the internal assessment scale - there was an idea that you should be doing productive work without having to overwork yourself, and too much "willing to work constantly" from reports was a danger sign for the manager's performance review. (Granted, this also could be super stressful for borderline employees, who are essentially told that even if they work hard, we'll still fire you.)
For what it's worth, it's extremely stable on Linux.
The dev world is friendly toward hobbyists (and small teams) when you use Heroku or DigitalOcean.
FWIW, mountain bike technology has advanced an enormous amount over the past 20 years as compared to road bike technology. Granted road bike technology has advanced a lot too, but most of the benefit there is in weight reduction.

Mountain bike technology has advanced in weight reduction as well, but suspension technology is orders of magnitude better than 20-30 years ago. Modern mountain bikes are incredibly advanced and they're loads of fun to ride (and I say that as someone riding a bike designed about 10 years ago).
The largest site (by revenue) that currently uses a a two button consent dialog with “accept and continue” vs “manage options”.

That’s not making opt-out the default choice.

If multimillion fines were given to just a few hundred of these sites things would change pretty quickly.
I am not saying this is the answer, but I want to throw out an option that I am not sure is being considered: "the people who voted for them"?

I would disagree.
IBM did not spend the money it did to replace its premier database product, IMS, with another DBMS, DB2, just to enable "simple database queries". Yes, SQL was influenced by other "4th generation languages" of the era. But IBM judged -- correctly, on the evidence -- that most programmers would not take the time to master first order predicate logic or set theory.

So they came up with something that implemented the Relational Model in a simple way, one that would attract new converts. SQL has plenty of warts and defects, but its success at extinguishing every other database query language can't be denied.

It reminds me LuaOS[1] - an distributed operating system written in lua communicating with users via XMPP.

I wrote for it an "unix-like shell simulator"[2] (see [3] for example session log) and earned honorary title "early adopter". :D

It was not really usable, mostly fantasy console running in another fantasy console, but I learned coroutines while working on it.

Yes. The classroom example of a vertically integrated monopoly has always been the big movie studio systems in the 40s. They not only made the movies but also distributed them and then owned the theaters they were shown in. This monopoly was broken up in 1948. It resulted in better films and paved the way for television.

Amazon will make the movies, host them on AWS, stream them to their Firesticks, shows them through Amazon Prime on glowing rectangles bought in their store and monetizes it all with their ad service. How is that not a vertical monopoly?
> There are well-established legal precedents for what hate speech is already.

[Citation Needed]

> There would not be enforcers of this on each website but if a person's rights are violated they would be able to sue the company and a court would decide if they were censoring the person without a legitimate reason or not.

Creating a legal cause of action is a fantastic way to create a chilling effect without getting your hands dirty. This is a pretty common trick lawmakers use to try and backdoor introduce rules they can’t legally enforce themselves.

Also, the courts consider themselves to be constrained by the first amendment. You can’t endrun around that amendment by using the judiciary, which is why Times v. Sullivan was decided the way it was, even though that was a civil action between private parties.

> It would have to be done at the federal level one way or another

Doing it at the federal level is not sufficient if the courts believe that the law is unconstitutional.

> The otherwise objectionable bit is basically a blank check to censor anything.

Again, this is not censorship. You are grossly abusing that word. The moment you face legal consequences for speech, we can talk about censorship. The word you’re looking for is “moderation”.

Second, you’re tap dancing around a really big problem. It’s fine and dandy to point at 230 and say “it’s too vague”, but arguing against something is easy. You need to propose a clear alternative standard that will stand up to judicial scrutiny. You have not done that.

It seems like it is. It’s like the relativity of wrong all over again. Two things being wrong does not mean that one of them is not better than the other. I am so tired of this fallacy, particularly in an otherwise well read community like here.
In all fairness, the mountain bike was invented to go downhill on Mount Tamalpais in California.

Also, in my opinion, the tailgate pad has made it practical to run [downhill] shuttles using pickups. Prior to that, you had to get a roof rack + 4 trays = $600+. A Dakine pad is $125. Without the shuttle, you have to climb.
You wouldn't want to port it. There are a billion icons and toolbars which won't fit on the ipad. The whole thing would have to be redesigned from the ground up with a UI similar to procreate that keeps the main canvas free from UI.

And if you put in that much effort, you are going to want to charge for the app. Understandably, iPadOS doesn't have a thriving open source / free culture.
As of 1.x, Inkscape no longer uses XQuartz so, if you tried it over a year ago, it's worth trying again.
Well, Autobahnen weren't demolished after Hitler was gone, were they? It's absurd to destroy useful and valuable works just to spite a dead dictator. Swastikas obviously don't amount to that, but whole astounding subway stations definitely do.
You should try some of the newer bike geometries. It's amazing what they can get away with.

I'd take a modern slack head tube geometry over an older bike for climbing any day. I've owned plenty of bikes through the years and I'm not going back.
The point of the comment is that the CNIL handled the part that the "good architect" would have needed to do, thus saving the company 5-10k. The company "only" needed to implement it, the other part was handled for them. The GP didn't mention fines, so I guess none were given out?
One of the examples given on Twitter that I found enlightening (not an expert so I hope I'm interpreting this correctly): if you have a homeostatic system, you would specifically expect to find less correlation between the components than between causally unrelated quantities (e.g. when the correlation between the position of a chicken's body the position of the same chicken's head is lower than the correlation between the position of the chicken's body and a different chicken's head: https://imgur.com/gallery/vgcxL)

> Urbit is a prank

I had Curtis pitch urbit to me in the very early days and I can assure you that he did not intend it to be a prank. He was deadly serious about it. I think his true motives were much darker. I think he wanted to start a cult following the model of L. Ron Hubbard. And I think he succeeded.
Inkscape already has the math for it as part of the boolean tools. This sounds like a UI problem
> By default, iPhones do send diagnostic data, but that data can be disabled in Settings.

They also ask during setup and regularly after major updates. I know because I refuse every time. Also, quite often it is opt in, with the box to send information unticked by default.
I wasn't saying anything about discs for general use. Specifically for racing, though, you are wrong: many pros are on the record as saying the braking makes little to no difference in a race and the cost of time lost when you can't get a wheel change is huge. It's already happened in multiple races.

> Disc brakes offer better braking power, don't wear as quickly, and don't fade on long hills

These things are true, but in my experience the limiting factor is almost always grip. I've never been unable to lock up both wheels on road tyres (this is definitely not true off road where the advantage is obvious). This is even more the case in the wet, where disc brakes are touted as even more of an advantage. I do think people often use the straw man of crap cantis or centrpulls on steel rims. On maintenance I think it's less clear cut — if you don't maintain discs regularly they can get sticky and there is _nothing_ more annoying than disc rub, and this is worse on the road than off-road where a bit of grime in discs is to be expected and tolerated (and no worse than mud fouling rim brakes).

> Don't malign them because you dislike change though.

You've jumped straight to accusing me of being a luddite. I actually don't like the _look_ of discs on road bikes but will get them on my next bike for the increased tyre clearance. But I do have them on all my mountain bikes...
Agreed, just use a loud hub. It’ll let people know when you’re flying down DH trails and be silent for climbs when you can see people and slow down in time. I can’t even think about what the cowbell must sound like when it’s up on your roof rack.
I agree that Apple isn't necessarily evil, but they sure would rather you buy a phone than repair it.

That makes me wonder... is there any example where the newer model of an iPhone was easier to repair than the previous one? I'm still rocking my 6s and I had to have the front-glass replaced twice (clumsy!). Thankfully I haven't needed any other repairs.
I mountain bike 5x days a week during season. As much as I wreck and eat shit, I would _not_ want to land on those!

Heh. I actually replied below before I saw this, but the sendmail.cf file immediately popped into my head when I read the post’s subject line.
Wacom has some much cheaper Cintiq displays these days. I think it's $350 for the 13" and $650 for the 16". I got the 16" recently to update from an old Intuos that finally gave up the ghost after 15 years. The texture of the stylus on the display is a lot better than an Apple Pencil on an iPad, even with a silicon tip (which I also have).
Lifetime skater here. You hit the nail on the head with the 'genius-from-restriction'. I call it "the Mullen effect"

Every generation has a handful of those skaters that grew up in total isolation. Instagram and other social media has made it less likely that a skater stays fully separated, but those that do still stand out.

The big one of the last generation was Chris Cole, who grew up skating in his driveway with a little ledge he built himself. Similar to Mullen mastering flatground, Cole mastered every single ledge trick. The term "NBD" (Never Been Done) was coined to describe the tricks that only he is known to have done
> I'd argue that tidyverse is entirely nonconsistent with the rest of R

Well, yes, but that is part of the reason why it is so popular. R may be written by world-leading language design experts - but it doesn't show!

> ...relying on it handicaps you versus spending...

There is almost no reason to drop out of tidyverse if the problem domain is visualising data. Most people could go an entire career as an analyst using just ggplot + tidyverse.

If something needs to be plotted and ggplot won't work it probably makes sense to drop out of R and go straight to TikZ or OpenGL.
> I (and many people I know) ride road bikes older than we are.

Road bikes haven't changed as much as mountain bikes.

> Newer isn't always better

That may be the case in road bikes, but mountain bikes have gone through a huge transformation in the past decade. The new mountain bikes are night and day different than mountain bikes from a decade ago.

Suspension technology alone has advanced by leaps and bounds. Not relevant to road bikes, but it's a game changer on modern mountain bikes.
This is the best one :)
Exactly. I live in a suburb of New Jersey and almost all of the roads have zero bike lanes with no shoulder or a shoulder that is supposed to double as a bike lane. At many points while driving, I need to swerve to the left of the double yellow line to give bikers leeway.

I used to live in New York City and even there I am amazed at how few bike lanes there are. 7th avenue south going past Penn Station has no bike lane, yet the road is seven lanes wide. Plenty of room to put in a protected bike lane.
6-10 years.

But I buy a really advanced laptop to start with. My previous laptop was a Lenovo T410 upgraded to a 2TB hard drive. Bought that in 2010, only replaced about 6 months ago with a Lenovo P53 with 4K screen and a total of 6TB of SSD and 32 gig of RAM.
For small files this is probably fine but you are keeping those files stored on the matrix server forever which costs them a fair bit.
hello Edouard,

> the aggrieved parties are the people he stole his wealth from, as opposed to, e.g., the waitress who ends up serving him drinks on a Caribbean island.

I understand your logic here, but I think in these scenarios we are all losing - if the dictator's money is the only game in town you have to play his game and by his rules.

When the efforts of the waitress, and all the other effort and resources directed to fulfilling the dictators whims, it creates a network of economic activities around a single person's will.

If that money was being spent by the population he stole it from, the choices of the spenders will be more diverse, reflecting the desires of a that whole population, this creates a more complex network of economic activity and it also means that people supplying that demand have greater choice in how they participate.

it reminds me of the ant article from the other day.

I think the issue is that it's unclear what was actually sold to Lee (possibly just a domain name and a website), because the IRC servers themselves are loaned to the network and are run by volunteers. And when the sale happened, it was downplayed to the other staff members so they believed something not quite the same as what really happened during the sale.

The question is really... what is an IRC network, and what constitutes ownership of it? If all the people who own and run the IRC servers themselves change their banner from Freenode to Baznode, and tell people to start connecting to irc.baznode.com instead, then perhaps the entity that owns freenode.com doesn't really own an IRC network?

(I know that's not what happened, as Freenode-the-IRC-network is still running as-is, but just presenting it here given that it could happen based on how the servers are run.)
It would treat the people it disagrees with respectfully, rather than insulting them three times in the first sentence and equating them with killers.

amassing a library of scripts for various shapes is time-consuming, true.

however few of those templates do anything that openCV can't be massaged to do well, too.

Given that people are likely going to use only a few of the templates that they find useful for their own work, I find it hard to be able to find the value in paying 100/mo for a massive library filled with techniques that aren't useful for my particular work plus a UI with some polish.

Not only that , but counting stuff in the work place is often done as part of a process; it's dead easy to pipe openCV output into any system that might need to be aware of the count; it's not quite as easy with 'Counting Things' without a human in the loop.

RT is already mocking the very same press secretary who justified doing this to get Snowden in 2013 for getting outraged now as she unconvincing deflects a question about it.

CNN won't show that on your TV but I'll bet Belarussians will get to see it.

This is not going to play out unfavorably for Lukashenko, especially if the US/Europe hits them with sanctions that bite.

>There's no reason whatsoever why Belarus couldn't be enjoying the same quality of life as their direct neighbours in the west

Realistically Ukraine is a closer model for how they'd end up if they rejected Russia and aligned more closely with the West. They are under no illusions that a quick change of allegiance will turn them into Luxembourg.
Partisanship is committing to a party; it is signing up with a team; it is taking sides. That is binary.

Don't confuse that with having an ideology or a commitment to certain ideas.

You can be partisan (or have an ideology) and still be trustworthy, but the trouble with that is, you actually have to be trustworthy.

I'd rather compare the NYT with The Economist on this point.
> So you are against the ability to speak unlimitedly? And who is to say your judgments are superior or that this individual’s public policy is necessarily inferior?

Yes, I am absolutely against unlimited free speech to the extent that it undermines democracy. I will say it explicitly here: no single, private citizen, whether as an individual or through some corporate proxy, whether that's some PAC or Amazon.com, should be able to influence public policy to the extent that they are able to today.

As for your straw man about my judgement being superior, I did not say that. I said that voting with ones dollars should not be more powerful than voting with one's votes. I believe in 1 person = 1 vote. So, in fact, I am claiming that my view on public policy is no better than someone with millions or billions of dollars.

But, what do I know? After all, I am actually_a_dog on the internet. ;-)
I agree with your elaborated points. :)
The one's I've seen are not difficult questions. I.e if it was a forum for some TV Series fandom, a question could be 'What is the main character's name?'
Most of us don't want to run everything we find on the internet, we want to be able to run one or two apps that Apple doesn't like.
You can't have secure FTP without a certificate and you can't have a certificate without DNS/domain names unless you want to manually add certificates around which is bad UX again.

The ideal situation would be some universal airdrop which will never happen. The next easiest solution is to use cloud storage and send a link to the other person.
I used Inkscape last week to convert an SVG vector image to EPS, for insertion into a PDF.

The conversion was not perfect. I am using FPDF with an EPS add-on, and after study of the PHP source, I was able to open the EPS with a text editor and reformat it so that it would successfully import.

Unfortunately, it loaded upside down, so I was forced to flip and save again in inkscape, then repeat the formatting. This odd behavior is also present in the (downstream) TCPDF library, which appears to have close to the same code.

Complain as I may, I didn't have to buy Adobe Illustrator.
In a sense it is good when people actually check opensource software for security vulnerabilities, and these get fixed, no? There would only be reason of concern if a project shows overall continued sloppiness, but I'm not aware of that for croc. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I just counted emails in my spam folder, and it is between 6 and 10 per day. Email I actually subscribed to or from other legit sources is in the range of 12-20, almost exactly twice of spam.

Android, just like iOS, was designed with the idea of turning the user into a customer for products and services, therefore many things that we take for granted on desktop PCs, often even free, under those mobile OSes are either non existing or proprietary, filled with adware etc. By becoming mainstream they pretty much destroyed decades of efforts in bringing free and open source and standards to the masses.
