it's easy to talk about how much other people should pay. why shouldn't you pay a regular tax on your assets?
I can’t believe that - subtitles don’t match the spoken word outside of English? Isn’t that extremely jarring if it’s the same language?

I hope Mozilla reverts this absurd change as soon as possible, or at least maintains the previous UI indefinitely.
These sort of administrative and bureaucratic activities are less than 1% of federal spending though. So your argument makes no sense.

Ok, I’m happy to hear it. This reminds me that another important caveat re: eyecare is this — even within a country, there’s a lot of variation in how ophthalmologists treat the same condition (eg one doctor might choose to do tube surgery on a glaucoma patient, whereas another might choose to do a laser procedure for the same patient.)

I imagine that internationally the differences are even more dramatic! But this doesn’t mean that one country is more “correct” than the other; in fact, I’d hypothesize that for population specific disease variants, geography factors into the trajectory of one’s disease outcome. For example, ophthalmologists in Asia are likely much better at treating normal tension glaucoma (NTG,) which has a higher prevalence in Asian patients. So perhaps these patients tend to do better, but this is only a crude guess.
Microsoft dropping EdgeHTML was the biggest blow to the open web in many years. I really hope that Mozilla can pull some magic to keep Google from maintaining basically full control of web standards.
I especially liked the reduced padding part here.

I really hate the trend of increasing padding in various apps / websites. One of the first things I usually do is search for "how do I make more condensed view here".

I am probably in minority here - most people use touchscreens (phones / tablets) but there is still a group of people who have bigger screens and would love to see more data than empty space.
I could not tell from the fastly status page. What caused the fault? Could anyone point to any past stories which may be of similar nature other than DDos?
> "wealth as personal consumption" versus "wealth as resource allocation."

Wanted to post exactly the same comment.

We are yet to develop an appropriate terms, that are _widely_ understood that describe the problem in details.

Personally, I don't see the problem with "rich getting richer". I see the problem with poor getting poorer.
It seems it is waaaay more complicated then the simple tax the rich

Considering how many things in our society are effectively illegal for the poor (e.g. the concept of fines for breaking the law as opposed to jail time) but legal for the rich, it's pretty clear why an extremely unequal society is inherently evil.

This sounds like neophobia or NIH syndrome. What you're doing is almost exactly the same as a docker deployment, except you're missing the ability to have some declarative leverage and tagging (unless your place invented that for themselves as well). There very few unhackable things about a Docker/container image, and typically that's for the better. The other advantage is that once you start using docker images, you now have more or less portable infrastructure. EKS, ECS, Google Cloud Run, Heroku, and on and on and on... But then again, it takes some time to realize that serverless is an advantage because if you're still young or your company isn't strapped for cash, they're fine hiring people to stay on call through the night and manage servers and upgrades and so on. Me? My fargate tasks run on servers that never need reboots or upgrades.
I never used Terraform, I started with Vagrant, then CloudFormation, CDK, and now Pulumi.

I like Pulumi the most right now.

It integrates with services like Cloudflare and Auth0 and I can use TypeScript to write my code.
The module passing got a lot better in 0.12 when you could pass full modules or resources as outputs and vars.

For the record, I very much agree with you.
It depends. Sometimes I really learn all the words before watching, sometimes I just watch something without any preparation.

Adding too many words to Pleco SRS over a short time doesn't work well, you will get overwhelmed with reviews quickly. So if I decide to study the words for a tv show I take some time between the episodes to prepare for the next ones, depending on how many words I have to learn it could be days or weeks.

Would love to see WebMIDI, but I suspect the options are alternate browsers in the App Store that are WKWebView's implementing it as a shim, or it will have to be added by Apple. I don't think they're letting extensions actually see the DOM.

I think the original comment is partially a joke. Maybe there isn't specifically anything wrong with this, but there is the fact that it is written in C. Historically there is a good precedent of this being an issue. C does not guarantee correctness to the same level as more modern languages.

If it was written in Haskell or Rust for example you could be more sure about correctness. I believe for something like this, correctness is fairly important. Not to mention you probably wont even lose speed. As for if the code is understandable, it is a 2600 lines of terse-ish C [0]. Do you really think about the entire blob at the same time?

I also don't think that governments "waste" money. That is more right wing bullshit talking point propaganda. The rich ARE NOT job creators.
OP said:

"Indeed, that's how my own labour income is already taxed. I first pay income tax for 2021 based on my income in 2020"

It sounds like they pre-pay tax for 2021 based on what they paid in 2020. If that's not how it works then I retract my statement.
I'm a native English speaker and I speak no other language. But my view is just one data point.

The problem is whether "half as much as annually" is interpreted as twice as frequently (your view, and the accepted one) or half as frequently (my natural inclination).
But that's what a merge commit is - the diff along the merge commit is what the squashed commit would be; the only thing squashing does is "forget" that the second parent exists (terminology for non-git VCS's may be slightly different).

The browser’s UI is currently implementation detail: they can change structures, markup, &c. as they desire. If they allow add-ons to apply arbitrary CSS to the chrome, they can’t change it any more. Perhaps they could operate a selector whitelist or something like that, but it’d subsequently limit what they could do when they wanted or needed to change things.

This was basically the problem with old-style XUL addons; they prevented the browser from improving, actively hindering in important areas like performance and security (by which I mean security of the browser itself even with no extensions—architectural things like sandboxing and going multiprocess), and so eventually they were done away with because they just kept on causing trouble.

And that’ only considering the practical problems of allowing this. The security implications of allowing it are rather significant too: a malicious add-on could almost completely conceal its existence, preventing you from removing it.
> That's literally insane. So you're basically giving your government a loan a year in advance? Why? Why not pay your income tax when you know - you get your income, like the rest of Europe does?

You might be misunderstanding - this is literally how tax withholding works. You pay estimated taxes as you go through the year, and then file a return at the end of the year and settle up with the government to what your actual tax liability should be.

That's how most income taxes work in most countries.
Isn't that an easy statement to make? Especially as they know the chances of it happening are low.

I recall seeing on HN lots of descriptions of just how hard it is to maintain strict opsec, or anonymity. Obscurity sometimes is the best security, but these clowns made themselves a big a$$ target for the FBI. Its one thing to be one among hundreds of small-time ransomware attacks, and another to be the one behind shifting the price of oil of the entire southeast US, and to be the subject of thousands of memes about Americans stockpiling gasoline in the backs of their SUVs.
Are they able to count contributions to organizations that lobby on issues that benefit their business, or to politicians (like a SuperPAC) that would vote favorable to them as charitable contributions? Because if that's the case that's kind of shitty. I honestly don't know though, just occurred to me that might be another way they're taking advantage of this.

Yes, I think is reflected into our situation. For our TF codebase, specifically, it would be greate to deduplicate modules (which is something that couldn't be done some time ago), but there is no simple way of, say, creating a new module, and slowly migrate resources into it.

In particular (AFAIK), there are no tools for moving stuff around, so in addition to the TF restructuring, one also need to write scripts to manually move the resources.
How's that inherent?

It's still illegal for the rich by the way. At some point your bail will be denied by the court, if you're a repeat offender.
Thanks! Any reference to the API, even if it's just incomplete docs?

“Not my circus; not my monkeys” explains a lot I think (and is itself a valuable real-life skill). I’m here to learn, not to get drawn into their drama. If the best place for me to learn happens to be the best place (or the place they chose) for their drama, so be it and I hope they end up happy with their choices.

I have no love for HCL, but you can do this by creating a kubernetes provider with the auth token pointing at the resource output for the auth token you generated for the cluster.

A tax deduction is essentially a matching grant from the rest of the tax payers. I don’t know that I’m totally opposed to the idea, but it’s ripe for abuse and conceptually difficult to fully define in such a way as to eliminate any possibility of such abuses.

Why not instead have people donate their own money to causes they believe in, and have no matching grants?
I regularly hear story about IME that all seem disproportionate. From what I've seen, AMD has an equivalent, and mobile SoC are worse. Also, it looks like you really have to go out of your way to enable IME remote control, which makes sense because it is a premium feature aimed at professionals.

And even if you actually have a backdoor on your PC, for hackers to exploit it, they somehow need to get to your local network first, which is not that easy on a home network unless your computer is the one to initiate the connection. I also probably won't work on anything but the built-in Ethernet port.

I don't know what "field day" hackers had, but I suspect it only helped them compromise corporate networks they could access where IME remote control (vPro?) was actively used. It is indeed a serious concern and warrants a recall, but I've yet to see how it can be a concern to most individuals, at least compared to OS-level attacks. And if it is, firewalls, including the simple ones in home routers should be effective.

There are sources. For instance, here's a good survey: https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/genetically-modifi...

But any good anti-vaxxer can shower you with links to published papers.

Any source should have to pass three tests.

1: is it good science? Does it even say what you think it does?

2: Does it indict a specific varietal? For instance a paper identifying a risk with Bt Corn may or may not identify a risk with Golden Rice.

3: What's the risk/benefit?
> Forward secrecy is not of any real value in most instances of instant messaging as people usually keep their old messages around thus negating it.

Both Signal and WhatsApp have disappearing messages as a feature. Signal now allows users to enable this feature by default for new conversations.

Most people keep their old messages because they're only aware of some remote dragnet surveillance threat in democratic countries. I'm sure the situation is different in countries where the surveillance is more offensive, and perceived so by the population.

As someone who is currently undergoing a tax audit for a year in which I reported ~$20M in cryptocurrency trades but only realized about $10k in income from them, I can confirm that "fairness" does not appear to be a goal of the tax code. Cryptocurrency (and especially derivatives) really exposes some of the head-scratching aspects of the tax code around capital gains.

> There will always be uncertainty, and uncertainty isn’t the only relevant parameter.

But it's a really important one and a lot of medical ML research doesn't seem to address in the proper sense. A very simple example: a ML model that classifies lung nodules as benign or malign, with 95% accuracy vs 70% accuracy of regular radiologists. Very good, right? But for actual, real world results, you need to see how the patient outcomes change. If the patients where the model and doctors disagree were going to have extra tests or followup regardless of what the model says, the model is not actually offering anything new despite the increase in accuracy.

So no, it's not absurd to say that models that work for a single type of test need to be very, very accurate to actually bring changes to the procedures that are worth the investment. What matters is whether they actually change patient outcomes, and sometimes it seems like the ML researchers barely consider it.

When I worked in North America I found this incomprehensible at first. I think the reason is because you need to manually file a tax return each year rather than having it calculated and deducted automatically.

To avoid a massive tax payment at the end of the year, you could elect how much tax would be deducted from your salary each month. The usual way to calculate it was based on last year's income. It wouldn't factor in all tax deductions so, at the end of the tax year, and after you'd filed the tedious and complicated tax return, you'd find that you'd overpaid. Better that than underpaying.

In the UK, usually your employer collects tax monthly. They calculate the amount to collect based on your current monthly salary projected forward and how much tax you've already paid. If there's a mismatch at the end of the year, the tax office uses a 'tax code' to adjust the amount to collect over the next 12 months.
