>The people who are more financially stable and on the same page seem to have the easiest time.

In my experience it's been the opposite. The people I know who are financially secure seem to struggle more to have kids. They'll go to doctors and fertility clinics and such.

On the other hand, the people I know who are not very financially secure at all have had no problems having children. Much of the time they aren't even trying, it just happens.

It seems almost like the people who feel the most pressured about having kids, the ones who are trying and stressed out about it are the ones who struggle at it.

At least in my observations anyway.

Linux works just fine with UEFI, that's how I have it installed on all my machines.
I think the amount of revenue generated per user is considerably more than anyone would pay.

He’s a quasi libertarian that doesn’t trust the government with his tax money. What was expected? Further, if you know that’s what he think and it’s within the law, what are we doing here with this expose? It would be one thing if he was critical of other people for working within the law to avoid taxes and you caught him being a hypocrite but this is not that. If we are going to be critical here, it should be of whatever loop holes allow this.
Probably the same binary translation tech that was used in Intel based android phones back when Intel made a push for that.

Joyce changed a huge amount and FW is at the end of that. Go back to Dubliners or Portrait and he isn't impenetrable at all. Ulysses is somewhere in between.

The corporations own all elected officials (executive, legislative, and judicial) and MSM except some ostensible, powerless dreamers who think they can make a difference nibbling on the ephemeral periphery. The most rational and bravest voices in media (Hedges, Chomsky, Nader, Maté, Blumenthal) are currently ostracized as effectively-mute dissidents, conflated with conspiracy theorists and religious zealots for their crimes of factual, professional reporting.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." ― Upton Sinclair

The prevailing filter bubble of the bourgeoisie and the rich is intent on remaining secure at all costs, assassinations included. Just look around the world where journalists are murdered most and then where they are deplatformed.
Just for the record, this is happening in sleepy suburban areas also, like Palo Alto. People report CC thefts regularly on NextDoor, and urge neighbors to retrofit their Priuses so they don't fall prey as well.

Locked bikes are stolen in broad daylight in front of grocery stores and at schools. It's probably not as bad as SF, but it is still an issue in the suburbs.

This is great. It heads off ChromeOS and makes the Surface hybrids even more attractive than they already are, which is no mean feat. Once this is out the Surface Books will cover basically all use cases at least decently. It'll be great to have cross op with their new foldable Android phones, too. Those machines are an absolute joy

Never say never. I expect de Klerk never expected to testify to his crimes either.
This! Just when everyone was finally getting used to Windows 10.... Finally...
The security implications of this are interesting. There are some apps, namely Snapchat and Instagram, that guarantee privacy by taking advantage of the phone APIs that inform the app about screenshots. You can in theory work around those today with rooted/jailbroken phones, but those are a tiny part of the ecosystem.

But if everyone can run Snapchat on Windows, that kinda changes the whole game, unless they support the same APIs. But even then, it seems like it would be trivial to block that API.
It's a fair question, but in fairness to Carta, until recently, there have been ~zero commercial or open source solutions to building application authorization (beyond limited helper libraries or things like Active Directory, which solve only a portion of the problem). Developers have typically figured out the models on their own and implemented them in application code with IF statements, etc. and/or by building separate authorization services. Other publicly documented examples include teams at Slack (https://slack.engineering/role-management-at-slack/) and Gusto (https://engineering.gusto.com/layering-authorization-into-a-...)

OPA is one solution that's emerged in recent years. The author describes his team's point of view after evaluating it for their purposes.

Oso (https://www.osohq.com/) is a framework for application authorization. Disclosure: I'm a cofounder. Based on the post, the Carta team started their work in 2019, but we only open sourced Oso mid-2020, so they wouldn't have known about it.

And in the last few months, a few other companies have announced offerings to address this problem too.

So it's understandable why Carta chose to build. Now/soon other teams like them should have more options to choose from when they encounter similar challenges too.
It's a pretty smart loophole but it's not like he came up with this. He has tax specialists for that. Now, it's probably not a good idea for loopholes like these to exist. Articles like these can certainly make a difference to close them. Although it's definitely not black and white, excluding private shares would be too broad imo but maybe a different mechanism to determine the value should be used.

More general I'd say Peter Thiel is both loved and hated and everything in between on HN, there is no real consensus.
Every time this happens someone says fuck it and installs Linux. After two weeks some of them come back, but the Linux market share grows.

I want an OS that stays current on security patches, attempts to be as unobtrusive as possible, allows for Desktop Environment customization but has sane defaults. I don't want special integrations. The OS should follow single responsibility and defer special functionality to app developers.

Seconding the other comment, its time to find a new job. There is no reason you should be putting up with that in the current job market
The point with those laptops is, you use the keyboard when it makes sense, and you use the touchscreen when that makes sense. I think you're confusing "touch-first" with "having any support for touchscreens at all," some concessions need to be made if you don't want it to be totally unusable on a device like that which has an optional touchscreen.
Except in the case of deciding to exclude EDNS Client Subnet, which in my experience completely borks CDNs. Which is why I switched to Quad9 in the first place.
That's not how it works at newspapers and magazines (at least the ones with any sort of journalistic integrity).

The editorial and advertising departments are firewalled from each other - for good reason. You wouldn't want journalists to be pressured by advertisers into favorable coverage.

The people writing articles have no idea what ads are going to run next to their articles, and the advertisers have no control over the content of the articles. The owner of the publication might set limits on what advertisers to accept, but they're not choosing which ads run next to what content.

There are people who complain about how the industry is moving in cycles and how what's old is new again and how functional languages did that back in 1922. These people don't change the world; they just complain about how other people are changing it.
Outrage is the tool that FB, Twitter, Fox News and CNN use to sell more ads. They won't stop because it is insanely successful. This is why we need taxing of digital advertising. This the root of all this evil. We need to make these behaviors a lot less profitable.
I wonder how well games will work such as the upcoming Diablo Immortal.

I'm not familiar with the algorithms, but matrix multiplication sounds well suited towards GPUs. I wonder if you could get away with a much cheaper CPU and a cheaper GPU for less cost?
At least the latter manipulative broadcasts have a vetting process to root them in some semblance of reality. Then you can rummage among various ones to see truth hidden in plain sight.
I get what you're saying, but we're talking about a very specific action: a court injunction. Whether or not it will be overturned or invalid is a followup - I am not versed at all on German law but I would assume it's a criminal penalty to refuse to comply with a court injunction (for anything, not just this). As stated in the blog, they will comply and fight the injunction's validity.
I might be misunderstanding something since I've never been a DNS expert, but wouldn't root servers only be able to block at the level of entire TLDs? Not to say that governments couldn't be interested in doing that, but the flexibility seems limited (without e.g. requiring the root server to return government-approved servers and implementing the blocking on those servers).
I cracked up at the video where he says "the start is centered... it puts YOU at the center" like no, you're clearly just trying to copy MacOS.

I could see it being easier to hit for tablets when it's not in the corner, but I find the corner a good spot for things like that on a regular desktop.. Granted, I always use the windows key on my keyboard but the other corner button, the one that minimizing everything, I use all the time. Very easy to mindlessly drag your cursor to the corner IMO.

Some of the other design features I really enjoy, but I would love a unified and sensible control panel before anything else.

I'm getting ready to make the apple jump, my next phone will be an iPhone (when my current phone, Pixel 5, falls out of support).

The major issue I have with the Android ecosystem is support is stupidly short. My last phone (Pixel 2) was fine, other than the fact that security support was ending.

Meanwhile, apple is pushing their latest version of iOS down to the 6S, a 5 year old device.
I swear nobody at Microsoft (and fewer people than I'd hoped on HN) actually talk to non-technical people that use their products.

If they'd just added the option to move it I'd have no qualms but they decided to make it default and I'd be willing to put money down that the overwhelming majority of Windows users do not have super widescreen displays.
Really clever humor can entertain and educate, although admittedly it’s rare.

The most common sentiment I see when people attempt cheap jokes is that Reddit is a more appropriate forum.
The data here is super interesting. The tone and editorializing are idiotic.

That being said, ultimately lawmakers are at fault.

We need to start thinking of law as code. We want to minimize the complexity of law, just like you want to minimize the complexity of code.

I have a new way to do that:

2D Languages will be the future of the law and democracy.
I dont find this to be a loophole, you just werent aware of it. A plain reading of the tax code would make that possibility fairly obvious.

This approach will just leave you surprised in the 2040s about what anybody with reading comprehension skills is doing in 2020s.

Also greater private equity access was just expanded in the tax code for tax deferred roth products. So the opposite is happening.
I used android for 5 years without an account. You can side load, use fdroid or apkpure.
Anyone who is remotely tech-savvy has been on the continuum from skeptical of "free" cloud-based services, to downright paranoid. Two decades ago the joke was your fridge would stop working unless you paid for a microsoft upgrade. Obviously satire, it did carry an obvious warning that cloud-enable devices are owned by the cloud and not the purchaser. And here we are now with Peloton bricking a treadmill.

To reference a cliche, I think Peloton turned up the heat a little two quickly and the frog jumped out of the pot of water. But they will learn to go more slowly in the future, the same way that we see people lazily subscribing to multiple $5.99 streaming TV channels, ultimately costing more than cable.
Solid finding.
Reminder that Pokemon Go's creater was a US intelligence official who made the "Google Earth" for spy satellite photos, before getting acquired by Google and making not-classified Google Earth and Google Maps.

No need to pay users for up-to-date intelligence photos when you can just put a pikachu at the location of interest.
I am not limiting it to attractive women, that is just the example I used. I think that extrapolating the idea to attractive men, to unattractive people in skimpy outfits, and so on makes sense.
Indeed. Automating and botting various apps seems like it'd be easier as well.
> What aspect of this makes it "highly scalable"?

The idea is to put all data in one place, and then aggressively optimise for answering queries about that data. For authorization you're pretty much always asking specific reachability questions. That's where the design of the index comes into it.

> Also, I was wondering: Are ALL permissions stored as an Object::relation pair? i.e. do you need to register permissions for all new entities relationships, or do you have some way of storing more dynamic permissions?

In Zanzibar, there is a configuration format for computing relationships dynamically. E.g. "anyone who is an editor of a document is a viewer of a document". I'm not sure if they implemented something like that.

If you're interested, I wrote a guide on relationship-based access control that includes a section on how Zanzibar(-like) systems fit in: https://www.osohq.com/academy/authorization-academy-chapter-...
Windows 8 had a ton (!) of smart human factors research done, but people gut reacted to all the individually beneficially changes horribly when released all at once (rather than taking some time to try adapting). I almost wonder if Microsoft learned the exact wrong answer from that and decided to ignore their own research more as they stripped out the beneficial improvements from 8 into 10.
Would probably be more palatable to say they are maintaining their own branch or release. Yes, it is the same thing, but there is a bit off implied intent with the word fork.
You have always been able to run Snapchat and android apps on Windows via emulators like MEmu.
Meh. Some service or another will pop-up to list the fun stuff governments and their corporate crook masters try to squash.
There are precedents in civil law too. It's just that judges have less leeway in "creating" law than in the common law systems and thus precedents are not as binding because the law is supposed to be already laid our precisely.

And civil law systems are not all tuned the same way.
It could be that masks are primarily useful as a signal. They remind people of Covid and people are more likely to distance, avoid sneezing or coughing, or otherwise be more cautious than they would be if no one were wearing one.

Perhaps we should bring back the plague masks.
But the main issue with GPUs (or FPGAs / ASICs) is now you need to send 9GBps to some other chip AND back again.

Which means 9GBps downstream (to be processed by the GPU) + 9GBps upstream (GPU is done with the data), or a total bandwidth of 18GBps aggregate to the GPU / FPGA / ASIC / whatever coprocessor you're using.

So that's what? Another 32x lanes of PCIe 3.0? Maybe a 16x PCIE 4.0 GPU can handle that kind of I/O... but you can see that moving all this data around is non-trivial, even if we assume the math is instantaneous.

---------

Practically speaking, it seems like any CPU with enough PCIe bandwidth to handle this traffic is a CPU beefy enough to seemingly run the math.
I'm not certain that the keyboard in a box required a plastic bag. If it isn't needed, then why not skip it?
OTOH, now that I can sell my Android apps on the Microsoft store, why would I even bother to make a Windows-specific port?

Blackberry tried it with Blackberry 10 and failed. IBM failed the same way with OS/2. If you make your OS compatible with a foreign platform, there is less incentive to write original software for it and, therefore, there is less reason to get your platform instead of the one you are compatible with.
> is Windows still "evergreen" with free updates, or will people have to buy Windows 11?

It's a free upgrade, just like 8 -> 10.

I assume Microsoft is doing this because of the hype that typically surrounds new Mac OS versions. I have no doubt that this could have been one of the evergreen updates, if only Microsoft hadn't been calling Windows 10 updates 'exciting' things like "21H2".

Then maybe they shouldn't allow everyone to create these groups on their platform.

If I run a music venue, and every weekend I sell out 1,000 seats... BUT every weekend 1 person shoots another person... they're not going to let me keep having concerts. I can't throw my hands up and say "well there are just too many people at this event, I can't check them all for guns"
The UK system is more of a graduate tax than a loan unless you're lucky enough to get a seriously well paying job (at which stage you probably don't care).
> He purchased shares of his own startup at 0.001 cents, way below market rate.

How do you know that was below market rate? Startups generally begin with shares worth almost nothing.
It is positively impossible to cite such an error rate with any accuracy without doing an archeological analysis to determine the ground truth for a given site, which hasn't remotely been done (and in all likelihood would be blocked by the relevant players). Any claims to the contrary are simply a lie.

Ground radar grave analysis has a significant degree of reading tea leaves.

GPR is a great tool for law enforcement to find possible disturbed soil sites. Its use declines when you're doing mass surveys unless it is merely guiding a dig.
Regarding trying to get individuals to change their behavior: I mean, a lot of social media posts are just people reposting things from meme groups, maybe adding a sentence or two here.

If those reposts get no, 1, or 2 likes - which is what I see a lot when occasionally browsing people on my friends list manually from time to time (as they've been unfollowed) - then no one's even reading your reposts or opinions. Why are you doing this? Is this even fun to you?

People might not think of what they are doing because they are bored, or trying to avoid situations, but maybe if explained to them exactly what they are doing and how pointless it is--maybe they will change.
People are downvoting this comment but I think it's a valuable assertion, and the core fact (JS engine developers use current/real-world empirics to make optimization decisions) is indisputably true: https://v8.dev/blog/sparkplug
This isn't an edge case though. This is a common case. And it's frankly, a common abuse case. This stuff is famous for the being used by the Mitt Romneys and Pete Thiels of the world, but I know people who've bragged about doing the same thing on a much smaller scale. It just happens to work better the more money/influence one has.

All you need is a tax attorney and enough money to found a business to exploit this cheat. Start a business worth $5000, and move it into a Roth. Then shovel other investments into this new business and viola, you have a several million bucks parked in a tax-free, judgement-proof vehicle that can be passed onto your kids and grow until the end of the USA.

The longer we wait to fix this, the more it's going to distort our economy.

An asset cap is a simple solution and it hurts nobody who using this as an actual retirement vehicle. But there are other solutions as well that, again, don't hurt people who intend to take distributions in retirement but prevent abuse like this (minimum required distributions, like 401ks have); dissolution of the Roth upon transfer due to death of the owner, etc.
Oops I missed that. You are right then. I wonder if this changed since 1999…

There’s a small, somewhat quiet, but very welcoming and very vibrant community of Common Lisp games developers. #lispgames on Libera is where many of them hang out.

There are a few people who are trying their darndest to build and support libraries for graphics and other game-necessary things. It’s a tall order, since computers and operating systems have become so wildly complex and incompatible. (It’s no wonder people go straight for the browser to do little graphics things now.) Often it means finding a way to robustly interop with C++, graphics cards, etc.

Borodust, Baggers, dto, mfiano, and Shinmera are but a few Internet pseudonyms of people working hard along these lines. Shinmera in particular just released a demo of his team’s game Kandria [1]. It’s a cool and modern game with neat mechanics and effects. It’s powered in part by a ton of open source Common Lisp tools he’s developed.
