On some online stores in Brazil you can have more than one shipping address, for example to send a purchase straight to parents, siblings, etc... and can select any of them on checkout.
It would also require a global consensus on tax incentives. Which... well if you thought the global minimum corporate tax was unlikely...
Having now joined this list of 20,000 startups to create a Delware C-corp, I can say with certainty, there is a lot of room to improve the process of tracking a company after creation. The path presented by Stripe is almost deceptively easy at first which leads to a stunning amount of work shortly thereafter. This is, per normal with Stripe, a beautiful integration of the real world and technology, but I'm hopeful there's more of a full-lifecycle version of this system, even something that would help me drop my C-corporation in the future. If there was ever an opportunity to compete with Stripe, the startup that gets Atlas done across a full-lifecycle (even just a happy-path full lifecycle) would add tremendous value to startup ecosystem.
Weight loss is a major factor in health. There's a bunch of science on that.

On one hand, Pinterest is taking into account eating disorders going up.

On the other hand, being overweight is talked about with body image and not about the health aspects. Tons of doctors don't even want to address it. My guess is concern about loosing patients or the lack of billing codes for insurance about spending the time on it.

I don't like the fad ads. I also don't really like the lack of people talking about the health aspects either.
Fortean is still very popular in the scientific community for numeric processing. For example, many nuclear simulations run on fortran.

So I just had a rather annoying experience. I own two Samsung Smart TVs, which honestly gave me the heebie jeebies to purchase. With that said, at the end of the day I decided that as long as I didn't hook it up to the net, I'd be good to go. I've been using them for a few years, and have felt pretty comfortable with the situation, so imagine my surprise when I sit down to watch something on the living room tv (which I don't use all that often) and my show is interrupted by a notification that "SmartHub" had updated.

After digging around in settings for a moment, I realized that one of my next door neighbors had installed an open router with internet, and my tv had silently automatically connected to it and began doing its normal internet stuff. I have no idea how long it was connected like that.

After looking though the settings and a few Google searches later, I realized there was no actual way to disabled the wireless connection on that TV. It expected an internet connection, and intended to get one. Ultimately, I managed to get it to stop what it was doing by letting it connect to my router and then blocking it via access control. I then followed up by going into "IP Settings" and setting that to manual, while leaving all the values at 0. It complained, but allowed me to keep the setting.

Anyhow, figured I'd share, since I imagine quite a few people here are also not keen on a smart tv connecting to the net, given some of the history surrounding them.
5+x and 5-x, you mean. they did get that right when substituting in the cubic equation.
Does anyone know at what point the tax is paid? I ask because publicly traded companies avoid it by doing share buy backs. So Apple technically makes no profit. 1% or 15% or 100% of technically nothing is nothing...

Dude here thinking that inflation is just a product of the amount of money in an economy
This is true at the level of basic buying and selling. However that isn't all that is happening with Robinhood. One of Robinhood's "innovations" was making it easier for novices to engage in more complicated trading including buying on margin, short selling, etc. This allows people to lose more money than they initially invested. A kid in the 90s wouldn't be buying Pokemon cards on credit with the potential to literally bankrupt themselves or their parents.

That vaccine is mentioned in the article:

> The vaccination protected 87.5% of participants who were infected after three months with the same strain of parasite that was used in the inoculation, and 77.8% of those who were infected with a different strain. This is a significant improvement on earlier efforts to use live parasites in a malaria vaccine, which did not perform as well against different strains.

> Another vaccine, called R21, was recently shown to be up to 77% effective in a trial of 450 young children, and a larger study is under way.

I assume we can't rally make direct comparisons between the two based on these very different studies, but both appear to be working really well.

DefenseStorm is a cybersecurity startup that helps banks and other financial institutions manage the deluge of security data that they produce. We take all of the security critical information and then alert on what's important, generate reports, show cool dashboards, and simplify demonstrating compliance to their regulators and auditors.

I got my job here through an HN Who's Hiring post 5 years ago, and I love working here. Strong engineering culture - weekly hour 'topic sync' to share knowledge, minimal meetings, flexible hours/wfh, happy customers that give good feedback, and interesting problems to solve. Our engineering team has been fully remote for COVID and we are conducting interviews remotely, but we are just now starting to open up the office for those who are vaccinated and wish to come in.

For Devops, we are looking to add a SRE to improve our bus factor, help manage our Elasticsearch cluster hosted on AWS, use Terraform and Chef to keep our Java microservice architecture happy, and otherwise make our systems run smoothly and securely. Our stack includes AWS, Elasticsearch, Terraform, Chef, Sensu, InfluxDB, Postgresql, and Phabricator. Ideal candidates will have some experience in several of these and be good at grokking docs to quickly get up to speed on the ones they haven't used.

For Full stack engineers, we use AngularJS/Angular (upgrade in progress), Typescript, Java 11, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and we're built on AWS. Our interview loop is one or two ~1-hour phone screenings, followed by a ~4 hours video call - and we've designed it to approximate realistic day-to-day coding and code review (no algorithm riddles).

I wish it was hyperbole, but looking at some people I know I know it to be true.

I've never had the luxury, I mostly work on low level stuff and at best, SO is usually only helpful in pointing me in the right direction.
I’d recommend you at least look at the primary sources for such wild claims, very often they are questionable. The dominant system is clearly capitalism, so narratives that slander alternatives are encouraged.

You could also talk to older people in Eastern Europe like I have, their experience doesn’t match such exaggerations.

The value of what? The US Dollar? Are you claiming some kind of runaway inflation? Because I don't know of any economists who agree with that.
Elisabeth Bik has done some amazing work catching these kinds of errors. I occasionally follow Retraction Watch which cites her efforts regularly, [0] about 500 times or so. However, as she points out, she doesn't get compensated for this work:

> We need this to be a career that people can make money and use their talents in. [1]

Journals, IMO, should adopt something like a Knuth reward check [2] as an actual system. They, after all, are the ones profiting the most from our present system of scientific publications. I'm not sure what's fair; maybe 100 USD for catching a major post-publication error?

It's currently a system where most of the incentives operate in opposition to self-correction.

It's meaningless if hackers can't bypass the security, which is true more and more as the companies get better with their security. What we need is bootloader unlocking provided by the manufacturers.
These people have no other option but to buy stonks and crypto. Their dollars lose value every year, and even a market downturn will look attractive vs fiat inflation.
Bull market for the next 100 years!

> Smart TVs are dumb if they aren't connected to the internet.

Until manufacturers start selling TV's that don't work at all if they're not connected.

Or, as is the case with my Samsung TV, they could just be arbitrarily annoying until you do connect - pepper the user with requests to connect and put up modals everywhere until they finally relent.
Discover Consumer's Thinking Around Your Product

That's not ridiculous, that's the primary purpose of crypto
I have read anecdotes that their ToS is geared towards them owning the securities because they pool purchases. Their business model is the brokers are the ones that actually pay them and potentially hold the securities.

Also, from their recent "Systemic Supervisory Failures" [0]:

> Between 2018 and late 2020, Robinhood experienced a series of outages and critical systems failures. The most serious outage occurred on March 2 and 3, 2020, when Robinhood’s website and mobile applications shut down, preventing Robinhood’s customers from accessing their accounts during a time of historic market volatility.

In the event of a large market downturn could you actually transfer that 60k elsewhere or for that matter, even access the platform to exit positions?

Payment for order flow means you are likely in line behind which ever Wall St firm is paying for that order flow. Yes that is illegal for them to do (called front running I believe) but the fines they pay are usually tiny compared to the revenue.

speculative bubbles are independent of monetary and fiscal policy. if someone thinks they can make 100% returns on their investment,what difference does 0 vs 2% interest rate makes? Look at the housing market in the 2000s , which surged despite interest rates being high.

No? Because high APR cards are a trap to leech money from the young -- eg debt. Investing in growth assets like stonks is building assets.
Very very different things!
I don't think it would be possible to verify this when making a copyright claim. But along these lines, if you could play a loop of audio that would not be recognized by people around you or not recognized as music but could be recognized by an algorithm, then you could use this strategy without anyone knowing.
I think that, while its clear it is an example, it would be preferable to use "XXX is a paedophile" as the example text than the parents username.

It would come off as less aggressive and less directed at the parent, which with such an accusation, even as an example, is rather jarring.

Roar! is a pretty great movie!
Corporations should be taxed on revenue, not profit.
Index funds democratized investing. Robinhood “democratized” the worst part of investing and exposed unsophisticated investors to the instruments they are most likely to underperform on. Individual stock picking is probably worse than indexes but fine, however the incentive to day trade or trade complex derivatives is almost certainly going to hurt people far more often than a Vanguard account. It’s not a coincidence Robinhood has been directly linked to teen suicide and Vlad gave the proverbial lip service.

In any case, it really doesn’t matter. It’s awful at order execution, so you get worst prices on things. This was proven but SEC just gave slap on wrist.

Its an extremely immature platform and has outages at the worst times.

It’s app is simple but missing key info compared to competitors.

Finally, the GameStop fiasco was unforgivable and only a naive fool would accept the explanation given. Citadel is the MAJORITY of Robinhood revenue and was opposite that trade. The stock market has existed for over a century with online trading for decades, including many volatile stocks, and apologists can’t name a single other example of one way trade restrictions. It didn’t happen during the Volkswagen short squeeze.

Despite that, apologists act like the clearing house explanation is stone cold fact. Source? Not a single investigation other than the word of Robinhood CEO, who contradicted himself multiple times explaining it. It was the fraud of the century and only people with little understanding of finance bought the explanation.
Carbon is not the only possible cost to the environment. Building batteries is not exactly easy on the planet either.
Of course, brand image et al.
I really have no clue. Playing music in public isn't considered copyright violation. Otherwise playing the radio would be unlawful.

Edit: Wow, it really is considered unlawful. I reflexively hate the idea that playing a song can be considered violating copyright. Yes, I know there's more to it than just that, but wow.
It also speaks volumes about "crypto" these days. The vast majority of folks I know treat crypto as an investment opportunity (albeit, a highly speculative one). They're not concerned about blockchain technology or decentralized finance.

Robinhood is the perfect platform for them - There's no need to "swap" tokens or sign up with exchanges. For the most part, RH just "works".
Elisabeth Bik is a real hero. the amount of unpaid hours she has put into detecting fraud in published scientific papers is unbelievable and a true service to the scientific community.

Her work is pure positive externality: nobody has incentive to pay for it. Journals barely care about fraud (as long as it's not caught by someone else), reviewers don't have much incentive to check carefully for it (and might even be in on the fraud), and the authors engaging in fraud obviously prefer that journals not look too closely.

That's why I am a patron: https://www.patreon.com/elisabethbik

She maintains a blog if you want to read more about what she does, e.g.: https://scienceintegritydigest.com/2020/12/31/2020-a-year-in...

Wikipedia says the S6 did not have a user-replaceable battery:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S6#Battery

In any case, it's apples-to-oranges and doesn't mean anything. Cell phones can have functionality added that takes up the difference in thickness -- e.g. keeping the phone the same thickness instead of it getting even thicker.

But main point is, they're thinner basically by definition. There are necessarily more layers of materials.
A better way to have handled such funds is probably to put it into some kind of investment account so that it can grow and then you could withdraw a percent of the profits without touching the principal. And then if you need it for prison use you get margin loans using your stocks as collateral.
Apple might make no profit, but wouldn't the shareholders selling their stock back to Apple have to report the sale as capital gains? So (at least some) taxes would be paid on that money, just not by Apple directly.

>It's their platform they can censor who they want.

No, it's actually unconstitutional when you have Senators like Hirono requesting and goading them into removing people they don't like.

I find it hilarious that years of being against "big business" democrats are now the one's championing monopolies and in bed with everyone in Silicon Valley.

>The government certainly should not be able to come in and fine you for deleting comments on your blog.

But it's ok to threaten action if Trump isn't removed from platforms? Double standards are great!
Oh interesting. Being pedantic here but I'm guessing there's a strong distinction between "weight regulation" and "weight loss" in the regulatory context though?
The whole system seems set up to funnel money and value one way. The most likely countermeasure will be ICOs
