> This comment basically drips with a fundamental inability to see this situation from the other person's perspective

Well... I mean yeah, that's why I asked for more information in order to understand the other persons perspective, what do you think this discussion is about? In case you missed it, here is the part I explicitly call out that I don't understand their perspective but I would like to, so please educate me:

> How is inconsiderate if the dogs themselves are behaving? Maybe there is something I'm missing, and I'd like to understand your point of view. I could understand you think it's inconsiderate if people don't have control on their dogs and they annoy others while the owners do nothing, then I agree with you. But just because of being off-leash? Not sure I understand that line of reasoning.

If you have something to contribute that can further my understanding, I'd be most appreciative.

> other people have no oracular powers with which to discern whether you or your dog are well-behaved.

Yeah, this is true but applies in so many things in life. New friend introduced by my other friend? Not sure they are well-behaved or not, but I'll default to that they won't murder me, but if they give signs that they might want to kill me, I'd stay away or contact authorities. I think in general society is adjusting well to the possibility of judging things as they come along, instead of painting broad strokes like "people with dogs off-leash are extremely inconsiderate", at least where I live, not sure how things look where you live.
This is the whole point we're arguing about up front. That activists have a oversized influence on what we discuss.

Less than half of black people support defunding or reducing the police presence but that conversation has smothered all discussions of more realistic and popular reform.
> you really can't make progress without the compiler's exacting approval, and I'd constantly get distracted while waiting

You can use cargo check for that, which is fast. It's only for running tests or the like that an actual build is required. Rust also has IDE integration via rust-analyzer, so the error-marking "squiggles" can be recomputed incrementally.

The only big ask seems to be the first one letting teams decide for themselves. The other ones would only seem like big asks if the management is more concerned about a having a sense of control more than pragmatic results.

I also question the last point. I don't know to what extent the signers care about the environment that they would do what's best for it, even if it didn't align with their other interests. Seems to me they're using it as another reason to get their way--although that seems justified to me without this item. IANA-negotiator so I can't say which way is more effective.

While the tax incidence (where the burden lands) of various taxes is a thorny question subject to much debate in the literature I don’t think it’s especially controversial to say that sales, property, and wage taxes are likely to have different incidences than a tax on profits.
> It was reported this week that an Irish subsidiary of Microsoft had paid zero corporation tax on $315bn (£222bn) profit last year because it was resident in Bermuda for tax purposes.

This is just flat wrong, right? MSFT's profits last year weren't even close to that.
Wikimedia hires developers from all over the world. Although the pay scale is adjusted for cost of living, the lowest salary band is still much higher than the average salary of other companies hiring in, for example, a lower-income area of the Midwest US.
1 through 6 already lead to taxes being paid - sales/VAT taxes in most places, individual income taxes, employee social security/retirement contributions and so on.

Share buybacks lead to greater stock value and therefore income when sold for the owners, who in term are taxed as individuals.

You theoretically could have a hold Corp that never paid out anything and instead funded the lifestyle of the owners/employees, but I’m sure there are ways to close that and the current 15% min is a far cry from what most people pay.

Kind of, but there's only one nation called America. You can't separate native-ness from nation-ness. If the US called itself something else, then there would be no Native Americans.
> Non-Indians who commit crime on the reservation I grew up around are already searched and detained by tribal police until state police arrive.

My reading of this decision is that different circuits had resolved this question in different ways (a classic reason for the SC to accept a case) and in particular the ninth circuit (not where Oklahoma is) had resolved it in a particularly poor way. So in this case a plaintiff in Oklahoma, convicted of some particularly serious charges, tried to use some lack of clarity in the law to get out of them (and TBH why shouldn’t he?). Fortunately the SC declared that throughout US territory, the sensible and, really, the only practical way, is how things should be.

I suspect the sensible path was already the default even in jurisdictions where the matter was unsettled or even wrongly settled (the Ninth circuit’s case, apparently). After all despite the dreadful headlines, most sensible policing is just what was at the root of this case: the cop stopped to see if someone needed a hand. It didn’t start as a “jurisdictional” case and if the cops had to think of that every time they’d never get anything done.

Confiscating profits wouldn't work, many companies are reinvesting their profits. Probably the best way would be to just make the fines hurt more, by using a fixed and non-negligible percentage of the monthly/yearly revenue, much like Finland does for traffic fines.
>> (I say 'lucky' because Buffon's Method converges extremely badly, and it's well possible that Udo achieved this good result by choosing his stopping point judiciously - perhaps influenced by the 3.1418 quoted by his contemporary, Leonard of Pisa, otherwise known as Fibonacci).

Udo was truly well ahead of his time [1]. Martingale theory wasn't discovered until the 20th century, but Udo finds a way to subtly apply martingales in a way that many of us would struggle to understand even today.

We are building openapi-based stuff in Rust at Oxide, and my coworkers gave a talk on the hows and whys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmSjZbSzA3A

One thing I hear from people more broadly is that Rust’s lower resource usage, in today’s cloud based environments, translates directly to bottom-line savings. It’s not so much speed directly as it is less CPU and memory utilization, letting you do more with less. That matters when you’re paying for what you use.
Cubic Interpolation - someone saved a few too many characters with that name.

So, that function uses opcode "c", which is documented here in SVG

https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathDataCubicBezierComm...

Now it makes sense... but that took help from the internet and a lot of time to figure out.

Is it just me, or has actual documentation been abandoned in the last 20 years?

[Edit] I accept it's not a commercial production, but if you want to drive adoption of a proposed new thing, proper documentation would greatly help.

The anthropomorphizing I speculate about goes something like this:

"I work hard and pay my taxes, Ford makes billions and pay much less tax!"

But Ford is an abstract entity that is not a person and doesn't have a better life than you.

All those billions are eventually paid to living humans, who do pay taxes on that income.

This is the economist perspective, but it requires a level of analysis not compatible with rage.
No decision has been made. I'm attempting to make a case for maintaining it.
this entire thread is gibberish.
It's just a shame he used such blatantly loaded questions, which hopelessly biased his conclusions, as demonstrated by the new research.

But even then I'm not sure this is true. Surely the best people to evaluate the value of a worker are the people paying for their services?
>Steve Jobs was a raging asshole, until it caught up with him. Turns out you can't bully cancer into submission

You really think that though both Bill and Steve were assholes at the beginning of their careers, but the fact that Bill gentrified himself is why he hasn't died of cancer and Steve did?
> When I compare my Rust and Go code, the Rust code ends up being much smaller (LoC) and much more dense/terse.

Yes, but is it more readable too? The obfuscated C contest also tends to produce a lot of dense/terse code, but you probably wouldn't want to use that in a production system...
> User protection, network protection, an owned developer platform and a sustainable API approach.

The truth of this matter is that privacy and security is a feature, and that feature sells. There's a reason that Apple advertised this feature on billboards. They went in another direction, compared to the rest of the industry, and have a lucrative unique value proposition.

They are not doing this out of the good of their hearts, as the article suggests. They are not a force of good, they are a force of profits. Apple continues to participate in some pretty evil practices, planned obsolescence and right to repair are two great examples.
It most probably corresponds to the SVG command that does the same thing. Iirc that command drops some parameters and the parser is supposed to derive them from the previous point.

Do you think that's a problem with existing property taxes?

The main difference between property and land tax is that with a land tax, the structure isn't taxed. So you can build up "for free" wrt taxes, which encourages more density on the most valuable land.

E.g. land in the middle of downtown San Francisco that's currently rented out as a flat parking lot, could instead be built up into multi level parking or housing instead. Whereas the current tax structure would punish such developments by increasing the tax (which is why it's still a flat parking lot).
Most serious study on this suggests it would have the opposite effect: make it harder for the wealthy to horde land in the form of low density residences in prime locations where townhomes and apartments would be a much better economic outcome enabling many more people to live affordably in close proximity to their jobs.
Yep, I'm not sure what exactly you call that in econ. What I do know is that this is the entire thesis behind Visa, Paypal, etc. who have some of the highest market caps in the world. If they have value for facilitating transactions then cryptos do too.

WRT the gas fee thing: yes, technically you can send a miner whatever you want in order to incentivize them to include your tx in a block, but the only thing baked in is ETH. Additionally, after the London hard fork (slated for release next month), EIP-1559 will be live which changes the fee system to become a "burn" fee system rather than a "tip to miner" fee system, which will force all fees to be paid in ETH (and algorithmically determined, rather than somewhat arbitrarily picking a fee that you hope is high enough for miners to include your tx).

The article is an April fools joke. I let my guard down and it got me as well until I looked at some of the other comments.
I am currently a data scientist. Educational background in cs, few hobby web projects and currently updating my skills in java/ kotlin with the idea to go in mobile dev.

I use only Python in my work. I learnt R and honestly, it's the same thing as using Python scientific packages. It's mostly vectorized operations, spaghetti functional, if people know how to write functions, code just to get it done. To make graphs, web dashboard(no, we are not doing web dev, it's dark magic frameworks), build machine learning and eventually some reports. Stuff like that.

I do some software engineering but that s optional and I do it because I can. Most data scientists/ ml engineers can't. So you guys are not fair. R and Python in these environments are not even being used for building stuff. This language is not build for that. Hence it's not good from the perspective you look at it from(software engineers).

Unlike Python , R is solely for statistics, data science and probably some basic ml( I haven't tried tho). Also Shiny for building web dashboards. But don't look at the code for dashboards, it's bad, with 'get it done and forget' approach.

That being said. Good luck scrapping, mining, cleaning data with something not called R/Python. Good luck with data engineering. Exploring and visualizing trends. Creating dashboards even. Machine learning. Monitoring and reporting in scientific manner.

Try This type of work with your favorite languages. Then see how quickly and easily it's done with R/Python . Come back and say it's bad language.

It's the same thing as embedded dev complaining about how bad js is for his job. You just totally ignore the context.

Since nothing in the real world is or ever will be DNSSEC signed anyways, it's not that much of a loss. Meanwhile, the most important DoH user --- your browser --- has DoH baked in and doesn't need systemd-resolved's help.
Agricultural-zoned land would be cheaper.

I would rip up urban zoning with an LVT to ensure density, but keep the agricultural zoning because we can't eat skyscrapers.
You do realize that these very statistics show that the “high profile” cases you mention do not reflect the racial reality of police killings? The media decides what becomes “high profile” and cases like Daniel Shaver and Tony Timpa do not get the coverage of Eric Garner or George Floyd.
I agree about the "corporate tax creates work in tax avoidance", but if corporate taxes are abolished, wouldn't it drive more individuals to incorporate their own businesses?

The tax avoidance industry now shifts to servicing individuals, and again we find ourselves with inequality between individuals who can afford those services and those who cannot.

An alternative way to tax would be to simply raise interest rates, and discourage capital from not being deployed productively.
There are implementation differences, but it's not as if they were independent inventions. Mozilla's API is based directly on Chromium's. That itself is fine (because Chromium is open-source), but I don't think a difference like callbacks vs promises makes it a unique product. If that's what you were implying, anyway.
It's even better - they work out if you paid too much automaticallly and send you a check in the mail. Had 3 checks over the past decade or so from having time off between jobs but paying full rate for the remaining time. Nothing quite so satisfying as a £1000 check from HM Revenue and Customs!

I've spent much of my life living in a far more sustainable fashion than most, but besides a personal reduction of guilt it didn't really have any broader impact. I think we need both: folks like yourself leading by example, as well as broad regulatory changes to compel systematic behavioral change (both individual and corporate).

Just having the former is necessary yet insufficient. As stated elsewhere: there's just too many people that are otherwise unwilling to make personal changes. The upside is that when everyone else has accepted or embraced these changes, there's strong social pressure for those dissenters to join. And you can help inspire the early adopters.

But fundamentally we really do need strong political and governmental action here.
How to find the index of an element in a list in Python
Depends on your time frame. It has definitely gone down at times - it's not at 55,000 any more. So "only gone up" might be true, if you pick your sampling intervals in a way that misses all the dips. It's definitely false as an absolute statement, though.

And, to thehappypm's point: Has the US dollar ever lost 30% of its value in a month? No. This point was badly stated (bitcoin has never lost 99% of its value), but I think the point is rather clear: Bitcoin can lose value much more rapidly than the US dollar, and in fact has done so.
>they don't pay for the massive infrastructure and other investments that governments have made the enable corporations to do business in the first place

Firstly, that infrastructure is for everyone to use and I think it's semi-useful to view private business as infrastructure as well. They exist to provide goods and services to the people.

Second, it seems obvious to me that you'd simply increase other taxes to make up the deficit. The impulse to create special taxes is a bad one, imo. It only serves to complicate the tax code, obfuscate how much we're actually paying in taxes and makes it more difficult to actually provide incentives when they are needed.
I think mostly the krill is used as fish and animal feed as a source of protein. Supplements are probably a small part of the consumption.

It seems like a bad idea to overfish the base food chain species. But then pretty much everything we do with the ocean is a bad idea.

The only thing that has been positive where the oceans are concerned is creating marine reserves where commercial fishing is prohibited, and enforcing that.

Glitches can really broaden the skill-gap:

Halo 5: slide jump, bum jump, boost jump, etc.

But then again, some glitches don’t. Like super-jumping in H2.
Standardizing browser plug-ins is I think not the best idea; it means that many things will be difficult or impossible to do, due to needing features that are not standardized or cannot be standardized (due to having differences in different operating systems, differences in web engines, and other possible reasons including ones that I don't know yet). It might also perhaps make some things slow or otherwise less efficient than they should be.

This reminds me of Ken MacLeod's Descent [0]. It's a great hard SF book, mainly about UFOs, governments and conspiracies, but in a typical MacLeod style it covers plenty more subjects. I can't recommend it enough, and I definitely can't do it justice in a HN comment.

Anyway... there's a sub-thread in the book about how things got really bad economically for the population, about a brewing revolution, and how governments around the world have struck a deal to 'defuse a hidden time-bomb under the world economy'. This was known as the Big Deal. It was tried many times before, but failed. So no one took it very seriously this last time. Except, this time there was a military crackdown on tax havens (except Switzerland): France took over Monaco, Belgia over Luxembourg, US over Panama, Russia over Dubai etc.

This time, it did work. There's a funny and sad moment when a student receives a letter from the 'student loan company', informing her that her loan was suspended, but she should apply for a grant, instead. And it took her a moment to remember what a grant even is.

No one decided that. It feels good to divide the world into good guys and bad guys, but if that’s your mental model of history and older people (like me) you are going to make mistaken judgments over and over again.
To a lay person like me, this does seem like a plausible explanation. But I'm sure there could be more to it.
