I’ve basically just stopped browsing the web at this point. It’s nigh on unusable sometimes. I buy recipe books, read the NYTime’s daily newsletter, and browse hackernews. Reddit’s unbearable these days, Twitter’s a bit of a dumpster fire even if it wasn’t bloated (I don’t have social media accounts to curate the experience either), and god forbid you click a link on a news aggregator site like Fark (where the headlines are as misleading as something your Great Aunt shared from some long chain of disinformation anyways), even with ad blockers half the pages are just absolutely bonkers.

It’s just not worth it anymore. My print copy of the New Yorker and occasionally some blog posts from here.
Discrimination against males has become politically correct. Our high school publicized a non-profit where female and "non-binary" high school students could teach girls in elementary computer programming. Why not teach interested elementary school boys, too? And why should high school boys be excluded from teaching elementary school girls or boys how to program?
Executive and legislative immunities to this sort of thing exist for a good reason. When you sue Congress, you’re not just suing an employee, you’re suing the deliberative body of the United States. A lot more is at stake than an individual’s rights. Employment lawsuits against Congress could become a powerful tactic to disrupt the business of government. (Judges are immune from such lawsuits for similar reasons.)

If so, I wonder what the difference between python and ruby is. (when they seem fairly similar languages from the outside).

Bullshit, look at any election from the past 5 years and there are at least 5 mainstream parties - PS, LR, RN, LREM, EELV. PS are in a bit of a crisis but still do decently in local and European elections.
We can and there is a huge swell of support for Sinn Fein a nationalist left wing party (the political arm of the IRA). The two centre right parties FF & FG (FFG) that have held power since Ireland gained independence are very pro the current taxation policy and have up until now had an iron grip on power due to a culture of voting for whoever your parents voted for. This is slowly changing. Loads of Irish people don't want this. The only problem I see is that we have structured our whole economy around FDI and there are no realistic proposals to revamp our economy to a similar level of wealth through different means. Enough people in Ireland will continue to vote for FFG because they get preferable tax treatment on investments as landlords, backroom deal etc. Ireland is a corrupt mess tbh.
> The test scores prove Homeschool is even better than private school.

In almost all studies I've read this could be completely explained by self selection, either of the parents opting for homeschooling (i.e. the share whose kids were better than average in school still were when homeschooled) or with unequal response rates (i.e. the parents whose kids had problems at home or the home had problems and thus opted the kids out of school didn't return the questionnaires).

This phenomenon is quite common. For example our midwife told us home births have less complications than hospital births. Well yes, because complicated births usually either already start at the hospital or get transferred there once things get messy.

> For those of us who have to commute, it's not exactly the norm to be saving money while commuting

This is true. I choose to live within walking distance of my office, and it has vastly improved my life - prior to this job, I commuted 2.5 hours a day, and that was awful.

These choices of course have complex tradeoffs, but you don't have to commute, it is a choice.
What is the minimum viable income to take advantage of these tax loopholes? Would I need to form an LLC or C-Corp (does it matter)? As long as big corps are cheating, let's be transparent about the data and how everyone can act the same way. I'm all for taxing Microsoft et. al. the correct amount but in the meantime let's democratize this action. Maybe it will prompt legal change for everyone.

I'd love to see a Playbook for Tax Loopholes for Everyone.

Indeed.

I suspect perhaps the author is surprised because squinting/defocussing your eyes at the original noise doesn't much look like the final result.

Thats because as well as removing the high frequency components (like squinting), this algorithm also is rescaling the amplitude.

Considering there are many things we find humorous but never find threatening and many cases where we are relieved but don't find anything humorous, that theory seems dubious.

A better explanation would be that we laugh at contradictions so as to signal to others that we recognize the contradictions. This both serves to demonstrate our intelligence and social skills (someone who gets jokes quickly comes off as smart and gregarious, the person who doesn't laugh seems either slow or weird), as well as to communicate information (if you laugh at someone who breaks a social rule, they very quickly learn the rule. You laugh at children doing dumb stuff, as well as friends and family, but random adults doing the same thing just appear sad). Especially in a pre-linguistic society, this ability to convey information is extremely important, and analogues can be seen in many species.
It is also correct. Eventually you will have someone great who fails to meet one metric, but you need to promote them before they decide they aren't going to be rewarded and leave.

Which is really what this is all about: ensuring people who you want to keep stick around. The pay you give someone is in part a reflection on how willing you are to leave. If my boss reduced my wage to minimum wage I wouldn't quit today, but you can be sure my top priority would be finding a new job. I know it is possible for me to feed my family on minimum wage, but I wouldn't like the lifestyle that means and I wouldn't like the snub.
technically true, since every year you take a cash distribution of the profit, BUT you then roll that into the following year and all distributions are tax free... cuz you already paid taxes on it.
Die commie rat.
I wouldn't exactly say that. I'm fine with strong opinions made for the greater good. Python's opinionation tends to be to satisfy personal itches people have. Often the justifications aren't good enough for the results.

I have my criticisms of Golang and Rust as well, but Go is finally getting generics. It's not that they were never open to it, but the proposal needed to be good.

Rust seriously needs to stop this rustup, curl | sh nonsense as an install method though. It's really embarrassing for a language that goes around beating everyone over the head about how secure it is. Rustup.rs is an enormous target if you want to go and sneak malicious code out into the world.
Agreed. If wasn't for near and extended relations who will use nothing else, I would avoid it entirely...
I'm not saying that, I'm saying the opposite. But perhaps you're referring to what someone else said.
20 years ago, I saw home schooling as ill-informed and harmful to the kids. As time has passed and I've gained more insight as to what public schools have become, with the impact of the horrible teachers unions, and especially after this last year -- I applaud the capable parents who take this course.
I think becomes difficult to argue and render this question invalid if we fail to quantify a problem.

I know it is subjective thing that is the reason why I asked this question. For me all UIs are bloat the CLI experience is the best, for someone else, it might not be.

The bloating problem from my perspective might just be a UX problem that the framework you use or the library you use.
There is no single change that could be made to tax policy that'd fix this. Instead, we have to find ways to empower the government and make them willing to take what's ours - ours in the sense that the people deserve that their representatives take hold of what belongs to the people. Individual changes to policy will force the artistic accountants to devise new workarounds.
The integers represent perhaps the simplest case. Another example of their actual existence is the fact that properties of atoms and their nuclei critically depend on the number of the nucleons of particular types in them; note that this fact does not in any way depend on whether a culture is anumeric or not. With some effort you can extend this idea to other abstractions (this process is usually greatly hindered by one's leaning towards solipsism).

I think we're thinking from two different perspectives.

You're considering about what happens when the data is in HASH's possession. It'll likely be helpful for them to be Semantic, yes.

But that's not the only problem. The problem lies in the collection of the data as well. I'm thinking from the perspective of getting the data from somewhere to HASH. I'm pre-HASH.

HASH does look like a "what if we could just do the fun bit" solution. You do the grunt work of defining the parser and HASH does the fun bit of making the simulation software.

Why is a corporation with political power worse than a government? You will probably say that I have more control over government because of democracy. But in practice I have a stronger control mechanism over corporations, who I can choose to pay for services. When there is a problem with my Amazon package, I get quick responsive customer service. If you have a problem with government, good luck!
France is always a 1 party system in regards to who is in direct central power, since parliamentary elections are just after presidential ones, to send the winning president a parliament they can work with. In almost all cases the ( slim) majority the ruling party has falls apart over the course of their term.

And that's why there's an indirectly elected upper chamber ( Senate), to avoid a populist wave changing too much.

>Read “whiteness” as describing culture, and it seems more true than racist.

No, describing a group of people based on their race instead of a more accurate descriptor for the category you're looking to talk about is just plain old racism. Being more specific might also be, but this is guaranteed to be.

And your statement just sounds like the contemporary-palatable version of grandpa explaining that when he talks about black people, of course he doesn't mean all black people or exclusively black people.
NoScript and uBlock Origin go a long way to making the web usable-ish. There's still hurdles, but at least you have to opt into those hurdles instead of having every website punch you in the face with garbage. Works on Firefox for Android, too.

The thing that's driving all of the bad behavior you're talking about is the advertising business model. The sooner we can destroy web advertising as a viable business model, the better.
Probably there was some reason, I am not interested in this discussion though. I had just refuted your "people need food as you might be aware" argument.
In isolation there is no difference. In fact if rust or go apps are the only apps you deploy containers are probably overkill for you. But if you also deploy java/node/python/ruby then containers provide not just reproducible builds but a common deployment method that is language/framework agnostic. And the consistency is often worth it even if some of the deployments don't strictly need docker themselves.

Consistency is sometimes an underrated value but it can provide teams a lot of speedup when it's there.
This is correct. If you know the income will arrive in the future, you should aggressively shop banks looking for a line of credit to even out your lumpy income. The interest paid to the bank for the LOC is tax deductible by the business.
> Since starting to work remote I've discovered the power of shutting down the work laptop (not sleeping) at a set time and not looking back. No Slack or work email on the phone.

What!?!? I don't necessarily agree with OP, but this is the exact opposite of my experience (mostly observing others). One of the main downsides of WFH is the "always on" nature of it.

I usually left my laptop at work, and ignored my phone before (after all I'm not at work). Now you're always set up to work, so there's no reason you can't respond at 8PM. I don't, but many of my colleagues do.

Most of my coworkers, especially the ones that would be leaving early for work life balance reasons, work all hours, and I get randomly pinged at 5:30-8 by people that would just be done for the day. They don't need to commute, so they have less pressure about working at odd times, and want to show managers the advantages of the WFH thing, so it won't go away.
These periodic self tests are required for some safety critical applications. My reaction to this paper is that this approach might have to be used in data centers as well. Unfortunately, it can't be done without help from the CPU designers because the test sensitivity relies on knowledge of the exact implementation details of the underlying hardware units.
My son has a well paying job as a development manager at a company that builds batteries (Sorry- I don't know more- he doesn't say much about it) and my daughter has too many health problems to work full time and lives at home with me.

Well it all depends on your ideas about taxation, society and the role of government.

It is true that huge corporations already "give back" a lot of the money they collected under various forms (income tax, VAT, etc.)

But if you think that the role of government is necessary, then you agree that it should collect taxe to exercise this role. And money is taken where money is. We tax corporations because they make benefits, and a benefit is just a way of saying that even after deducting everything they can think of, they still have money they don't need. So why not take a part of it and re-invest it elsewhere where it is needed ?

Ultimately there is no proper justification for any tax, except its necessity to let society fonction properly.

Yes, the stupid part isn't that the brothers sell the NFT for £500,000. I'd do the same.

But why would you buy it? Are you hoping that it's going to become more valuable in the future? I suppose people collect all sorts of weird stuff, but at least they're normally able to display it or enjoy it in some form.
It’s not really that simple to measure the ‘value’ extracted from a specific country. If we’re considering digital goods Amazon UK could just transfer the profits to Amazon Luxemburg by signing an IP licensing agreement etc. for the same amount they would be taxes on in the UK. So the UK entity would operate at a loss/zero profit. AFAIK many companies are already doing this.
I don't think it would be particularly costly to set up an Irish company, figure out a structure and set up a company group with internal invoicing etc. If you can spend a few 100 k on administration a year I'm guessing it would be worth it.

You can be opinionated and make good decisions. Python does the opposite. Its primary focus on user experience and low barrier to entry (by hiding upfront complexity that has a tendency to explode in your face later) made it a popular language, but also severely handicapped it, especially when it comes to pragmatism and suitability to solving hard engineering problems.

Go is very opinionated but the focus is strong on pragmatism and engineering. One could say that this strong focus makes for a very cohesive language. It doesn't support all the bell and whistles but that's not necessarily bad, if it doesn't detract from its purpose. Looking at the engineering landscape today, one can definitely say that Python missed the mark by a very wide margin and Go nailed it.

(Which is not to say that Python is going away, research and data science are its bread & butter)

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, this makes a lot of sense. Not everyone can afford to stay home to teach their kids, because you wouldn't be able to feed them then. I agree that the education system all over the world is fucked up, but I don't advocate tearing it down, rather we should fund it better and more effectively, make sure the education people get is actually useful in the real world, not the fluff they currently teach.
