XML Schema isn't only for validating XML post-hoc, as you suggest. The point is that if you are using XML, it doesn't make sense to invent arbitrary solutions when there is already first class support in standardized toolchains. Comparing the markup specs, specifically, is an unreasonably narrow comparison. The discussion is about "using XML" and "using JSON", and the environments in which they're used are at least as important as the specs, independently.

If you are somehow in an environment where you are working with data nominally encoded according to XML spec, yet unable to leverage any other parts of the standard XML ecosystem, then I would certainly agree that XML is a bad choice!
> you can establish a bona fide overseas residency, you get substantial federal tax discounts (like ~$100k tax-free income), and don't have to pay state tax anywhere.

That’s...not true. State income tax is usually due on dollars earned in the state — it used to be usually the union of (dollars earned by residents) and (dollars earned by work in the state) but a 2015 federal court decision required it to be one or the other, and AFAIK every state with an income tax has chosen the latter over the former because, basically, resident citizens vote in the state while citizens resident in other states, the most common nonresident citizen workers, don’t. So, a bona fide overseas residence doesn't have any effect on state income tax liability.

If you travel enough that you find it to be a burden, just pay for prescreening. If you get TSA PreCheck, which is pretty cheap and easy, you'll get waved-through all the domestic stuff (plus you get to cut in line). If you're primarily concerned with international travel, then Global Entry is amazing. You won't even have to talk to anyone from customs or immigration, and you'll never see a line. Just walk up and slap your hand on the kiosk and off you go. Global Entry is also pretty cheap ($100 for five years), but is more of a pain in the ass to get; you have to schedule an interview, which will take a couple months, pass more-strict background checks, and visit an airport for the interview itself, but all of that will take less time than 1-2 stints in line at the JFK immigration queue.

Absolutely I can understand QBE being prior art for a number of querying paradigms. However, the two aren’t closely related.

As far as the name goes, the “graph” in GraphQL likely refers to the data graph (as opposed to “graphical”) as data graph traversal is one of the key selling points of the language. The other one being homoiconicity between request and response.
Can someone help me with making conclusions here?

What does this show? Are people earning less or more?

I see it says men are earning less, but women earned more, which I mean makes sense. But is it saying that men earning less is due to women earning more?

And if I understand, it also says women earned more but have started to stagnate as well?

I didn't mean to minimize your friends' experience with a giant Skepty McSkepterson smackdown, and I apologize if that's how it came across. It sounds like it's an awful situation.

For the sake of clarification, I was more meaning to say, for the benefit of others, that we need to be cautious about extrapolating from stories like this. Because, where it's a global pandemic affecting 7 billion people all at once, even the unlikeliest of outcomes are guaranteed to happen. So we can't necessarily collect stories from a bunch of different individuals, connect the dots, and expect the result to be an accurate version of the big picture. Perhaps prior infection confers imperfect immunity, perhaps it confers none at all, perhaps it's better than any vaccine. I'm not sure we know yet, but I am pretty sure that your experience is compatible with all of those possibilities.
>pilots aren't necessarily best placed to assess the realistic flight possibilities or appearances for a drone or a balloon

Who are best placed to identify things flying around if not pilots with hundreds (or thousands) of hours flying?

That's why they say they've never seen anything like it, and they don't know any tech that could do what those 4 pilots observed.
Yeah, it definitely seems to imply that these people are all abroad but I definitely think most of them are 'nomadic' within the US which has very different tax implications for individuals.

Exporting at a loss is often the prudent financial measure just because of market conditions, and it does have the effect of increasing domestic prices (as a third-order effect), but the way you're describing it happening isn't plausible.

Do you have a citation that they're intentionally losing money in order to drive prices up to a target price? Because that, no offense, would be idiotic unless they have some kind of subsidization deal that would support it, as the export of any quantity of lumber even at break-even would not increase domestic prices enough to justify the losses of profit on that lumber if profit was available.

It sounds like the market is down, and they have lumber on hand, and it's better to sell at a loss and realize the revenue in most cases than to not sell at all.

Any open social media platform where you can choose who you follow and who sees or doesn’t see your content is effectively an invite-only platform.

Twitter is pretty close to that, except it’s default opt-in rather than default opt-out. Meaning everyone can see your content by default, rather than you having to explicitly allow rando’s to see your content and reply to you.

But if you follow people who make high-quality posts, and unfollow, mute, and/or block people who produce all noise and no signal, you’ll have a pretty good professional and personal networking experience.

Most other social media have ways of curating your feed, but you have to proactively do it, can’t just rely on the social media platform to do it for you.
Even stateful firewalls don’t protect you from being hacked. Hacks occur when you run untrusted code on your machine. That untrusted code can easily bypass your stateful firewall by initiating a connection to a C&C server.
Thank you so much for pointing this out. I'd given up on something like this ever happening.

I have a colleague living in the northern California wilderness who maintains a point-to-point wifi antenna at the top of a 300' redwood tree because he needs to use a WISP rather than an LTE provider to get uncapped data. I just looked at these plans and they look like a dream come true for him.
I really do want to do the right thing but its hard when I am unable to find any clear guidelines. I have been traveling and working outside of the country for over a year now. Ultimately I just set where i live as my parents house and called it a day. The company didn’t want to work with me on doing it properly so im not sure how i would be able to. Additionally they aren’t even paying my state taxes properly because they “don't have it setup” so im being forced to pay tax to a state I have no presence in. This is a company with several thousand people and my situation is not uncommon across the company.
Yeah I'm in this boat, too. In the end it might mean that I am paying Twitter $3/mo and the developer of the 3rd-party app, but to circumvent all API restrictions would be worth it. It seems a little unfair that Twitter gets so much of that money when it's really the app developer who is earning most of my value.
What's the quote? Something like "the trick isn't to live forever, it's to live long enough to live forever"
I don't have any problem with Twitter adding a paid option. I've never even used Twitter nor will I ever so it so anything they do to the platform doesn't affect me. It just seems weird that people are making the claim that you can't monitize a large unpaid user-base.
This limit makes sense for a mobile device. You don’t want some developer using up all the RAM and stomping on other processes like what happens with older generation iPads ALL THE TIME and I’m sure some Apple people got sick of certain programs kicking everything else out of memory.

5GB is enough for anybody, even with 4K video.
Sure, as a side point I'm not exactly concerned about up/down votes.

It was more a musing about a weirdness in downvoting behaviour; and whether there was something unintentional I was doing as a cause.

I don't mind upsetting people where the upset is due to a view of mine conflicting with a view of theirs. In this way, I'm very comfortable being downvoted. A downvote here is a signal of saying something worthwhile.

I find people agreeing with each other, on mass, a bit alarming if anything.
> I get that money laundering is always linked to criminal activity

Its not. Well, by definition it is but it is paradoxical. Money obfuscation is not illegal, but when the source of the money is illicit then money obfuscation is money laundering, but successful money laundering means nobody can ever distinguish between a licit or illicit source, and it is up the accuser to prove the source was illicit, which should be impossible. (Whether there are records or not, there should be no probable cause to receive or act on those records at the standard needed for a criminal investigation)

So, only unsuccessful money laundering is linked to criminal activity, and deterrence relies on stigmatizing all money obfuscation.

You may be interested in this: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/networking-blog/makin.... The gist is that yes QUIC has higher CPU usage but all OS platforms are investing in UDP hardware offloads and optimizations to level the playing field. While the only IETF standard that will come out is HTTP/3, our implementation MsQuic powers both HTTP/3 and SMB proving the general purpose nature of the transport. We are not there yet in terms of an application that's only powered by QUIC because UDP reachability is not 100%, so you need a fallback. Most apps will either use HTTP/3 and fallback to HTTP/2 or use QUIC directly and have to fall back to secure L7 over TCP.

They probably did mean that, and believe it or not, Americans are actually OK with that.

American entrepreneurial culture includes a strong dose of "It's OK to lose a million dollars a hundred times if the next one makes a billion dollars". Some think that's part of the reason the US is the country that generates the FAANG(M)s. They throw money at the wall and make big wins off of what sticks, if most of it doesn't.

It's arguable whether that's actually beneficial for the world (is there any of the MANGAFs you don't feel uncomfortable about?), but it certainly accomplishes something. If only making the US rich.

I'm curious what it's like, so here is a small calculation. Some metrics:

- 144 blocks per day are mined on average

- the current network hashrate is 145M TH/s

- a 100 TH/s rig is about $10k.

The investment to be able to have full control of mining one block on average, without electricity, internet and storage :

- per week: you'd need 143k TH/s (145M / (144 * 7)), so about $14M of investment in just the mining rig (provided you can buy it all)

- per month: you'd need 33k TH/s, so $3M of mining rig investment.

- per year: you'd need 2.7k TH/s, so about $270k in mining rig equipment.

Of course, there are a lot of variables here (e.g hashrate is highly variable), but this gives a general idea.

All this for a "washing" method that heavily implicates the miner: the address of the new coins is still known, it's not really "clean", just an unusual transaction.

That study has N=24 and only studies T-cell response, which is a long way from being "immune" to infection. It is also a preprint and appears it has not yet been peer reviewed.

So, basically, some immune response is not the same as immunity against COVID-19, which is what your OP (over-)claimed.

But it really doesn't tell us anything we didn't know. SARS-COV-1 and SARS-COV-2 are related and there is some cross-activation of immune response. It is not an epidemiological study or anything.
I'd say it's consistent with that hypothesis, but not that it corroborates it. An alternative hypothesis is that the Bay Area draws in smart folks (who are then wealthy, because Bay Area salaries are outrageous), and smart folks have smart kids. In other words, while wealth is correlated with higher SAT scores it doesn't "beget" them.

To tease that apart you'd need a counterfactual universe where those same Bay Area people weren't wealthy but still had kids. So, uh, good luck finding that...

One datapoint that at least gestures in "correlates" but doesn't "beget" is that half of the students at Stuyvesant High School, the most prestigious math/science school in New York with an admission based on a test akin to the SAT, are economically disadvantaged[0]. If wealth truly "begot" high scores on these tests, you'd probably not see that.

(It also demonstrates that Stuyvesant does a great job making the test accessible: there's free study materials, test times on weekdays and weekends, free shuttles to test site, etc. I wish that was the takeaway here with the SAT discussion: help low income folks prep for and take the test, don't eliminate the test altogether.)

I would have expected at least a mention of the foreign earned income exclusion from a NY Times article. Anyway, it's $108,700[1] for 2021.

I guess it depends on how attached you are to your worldly possessions and how much of your move you want to coordinate. Last time I moved, I hired a moving firm to move my stuff, except for a few personal items we moved myself in the car. If the moving truck burst into flames, I'd have been happy to get the insurance money and would replace the furniture (I paid extra for all-risk replacement value coverage, not the 50 cents/pound coverage they included for "free").

I didn't really want to drive a U-haul that far towing the car, and worry about stuff getting stolen at overnight stops, we took the scenic route and spent over a week, we had to cut our trip short by a day when the driver called to say he was there already and would be delivering tomorrow.

It was a pretty painless process, we used a service that gave us a few quotes online, and the company we chose supplied all of the labor to load/unload and hired a smaller shuttle truck because the apartment complex we were moving into couldn't fit an 18 wheeler.

No real loss or damage, just a few scratches on a couple pieces of wood furniture, didn't even bother trying to make a claim.

We priced one of the storage pods (they drop a container off, you load it yourself, then they take it to your destination), but it wasn't much cheaper than the moving company and we didn't really had a convenient place to put the container.

Funny coincidence: The same week that the city started running conduit in our neighborhood for municipal fiber, a Xfinity "account manager" came to our door and left a handwritten note saying great customer service was their goal and to call him if there was ever a service problem!

Funny how legit competition makes them sit up and take notice...

At some point after that, Xfinity dropped their gigabit service level from $190 to $70/mo (IIRC).

In theory we have competition, but the alternatives are: Century Link 40Mbps DSL, or Rise Broadband terrestrial wireless (which hasn't proven a very good alternative for my coworkers).
No it doesn't lol. "Don't prematurely optimize" is like a single sentence that you keep in your mind. Being good at leetcode is probably lightly correlated at most (college nerds), with premature optimizers.

Of course years of experience matter, that's why they also care about experience and have you talk about design a bit. But mostly leetcode.
