I had some issues with the Razer model 4 years ago. The rubber pads on the bottom came unglued from the heat, and I had 2 chargers where the cord frayed from the heat and started sparking. Decided to just stick with a mac for casual use and a desktop for when I want a gpu.
It's not just individual bank apps. Netflix, Snapchat, Android Pay, Pokemon Go, and Super Mario Run will all refuse to run if they detect root or any other modifications.
I'm wavering between a Dell and System76. I know the Dell will have better hardware... but man, at least the System76 will work with Linux, and if not, I'll have support. This only pushes me further toward System76.
This was changed in the last cycle or so so if there aren't people challenging petitions they get semi-automatic renewals. Honestly, for unlocking bootloaders (note I initially wrote this comment in the mental context of carrier unlocks and then immediately went and edited it as I realized) we probably never needed the exemptions anyway, as there is a standing exempting for interop (which still does most of the work: the argument for the extra exemption is to provide one last step for the end-user as in 2009 it wasn't clear they could run the result, but currently everyone things they should be).
There is also no legal basis for requiring radio controllers to have signature enforced firmware loading.

If someone actually tried to write their own radio firmware and made a mistake, there very soon would be.

Messing around with radio transmission is not a game. Make enough noise on the wrong frequency and now you're interfering with communications for emergency services responding to a disaster or air traffic control guiding flights in crowded airspace, with a very real danger of loss of life. And there is no way for anyone to stop you until they've physically tracked down the source of the bad transmission, which can take hours.

I am very much in favour of rights to repair and against almost any restriction on what individuals can do with their own hardware, but giving people who don't know what they're doing unrestricted access to a radio transmitter on that basis is a bit like giving everyone in your city a button that detonates the nuke because you believe in a right to bear arms. At some point, you need to draw a line and say only qualified people past this point, or very bad things start to happen.
Yes! That analogy sums it up perfectly!
Local agencies (which often administer programs) very commonly DO NOT have easy direct access to your IRS tax filings.

In addition - some people don't file returns that they should.

In addition - sometimes their are crazy backlogs govt / IRS side (transcript services have been very off and on, 35 million paper filed returns still pending processing).

Work number does pay day to pay day updates, so is current to within a few days usually.
It does, though. See the diagram in the article. There's two allocated arrays there: one for the real hash table (on top) and one for the "backing array" which then stores the actual items. The "extra" bit is the indexes in the top allocation: those indexes would be omitted in a normal (unsorted) hash map. (That is, a normal hash map allocates a single array, which is the storage for both the hash table and the items it contains.¹)

(There's also some extra time requirements, too, to chase that additional pointer from the top table to the bottom one.)

¹N.b. in some languages those items will be references, but that doesn't matter for the comparison here.
On one hand, this article seems fine as far as it goes. Sure, I can imagine there's some benefit to cultivating a positive emotion for 5 minutes per day.

On the other hand, any article that uses the phrase "the new science of <anything>" is highly suspect, especially when it claims to have a secret that will let you "rewire" your brain.
Another QA/Automation engineer here - keep looking, we definitely exist! I was a dev but prefer QA, and still enjoy doing code reviews for the devs as well. Also helps to identify missing unit tests and consider what tests I'll be building if I've missed some too.
OTOH you can see it as a litmus test (or "foot in the door") for whether people would be willing to make larger sacrifices. Every time there's a discussion of something with a bigger impact, people shut it down because they don't like the personal sacrifice required of them, even when we're talking about their elephant contributions. Yet when you try to start small people still object because the impact is too small on its own and they purportedly want larger changes. I see it unfold right here on HN on almost a weekly basis now. I don't know how to have hope for this planet but it's pretty depressing to watch.
That made me wonder, what's to stop a country from having a high rate but also offering a tax credit? Or some sort of disguised give-back?

If you Google the Malta Corp tax rate, you find 35%. You need to dig a big more to read that actually you can get 30% refunded. Haven't tried it myself.
Intent matters in these cases.
> We have never bullied, oppressed, or subjugated the people of any other country, and we never will.

At a minimum, Tibet. But I suppose if you take over a place, then you define it as part of your country, and so now you're not subjugating the people of another country...

And what bugs me is that, by the same logic, they aren't doing so with the Uighurs. And they weren't when they broke the terms of the deal with Hong Kong. And they wouldn't be doing so if/when they overrun Taiwan. It's all China, right?
The better one of his, which I've probably posted before, is "ALGOL 60 is alive and well and living in FORTRAN [sic] 90."
I don’t want to pay a premium for dumb TV though. Just like a laptop without crapware is more expensive because the crapware actually subsidizes it, a dumb TV can be more expensive.

But if you pick a good (quick, without annoying UI, allows USB upgrade and offline configuration and so on) smart TV and just don’t connect it, I think that’s probably a better idea than getting a commercial monitor for example.

This is not what my comment said at all. Please don't twist my words like this.
It seems like increasing adoption of electric vehicles would do a lot more to solve this problem.

Only if you do not get the electricity from burning coal and only if you can manufacture the cars in a way that the reduced emissions over their lifetimes are not offset by additional emissions during manufacturing and decommissioning.

Some more numbers for comparison, 2 Mt are 5.1% of Germany's passenger car motorway traffic emissions, 1.4% of Germany's transportation emissions, 0.27% of Germany's total emissions.

I like this, from 'The Art of Doing Science and Engineering' by Richard Hamming

"with apparently only one life to live on this earth, you ought to try to make significant contributions to humanity rather than just get along through life comfortably - that the life of trying to achieve excellence in some area is in itself a worthy goal for your life. It has often been observed that true gain is in the struggle and not in the achievement- a life without a struggle on your part to make yourself excellent is hardly a life worth living."
Wow. I’m moving my company away from Intuit immediately and I’d encourage others to do the same. This is a massive violation of privacy.
I’m neither a lawyer nor an accountant but I’d expect it to run counter to all existing double taxation agreements. All those agreement would have to be cancelled or renegotiated - that’s a lot of work.
There’s a difference between stopping them and stopping exploitative companies who want to profit off of them.

Auto manufacturers manage this quite well. Some more than others, but if you bought something like a Honda or a Toyota back in the '80s or '90s, you can still find affordable OEM parts for it today, and the manufacturer will still service things like electronics clusters.

Why not expect something similar from a much simpler and less dangerous $1-10k appliance?
Programming languages are just like tools in your toolbox. Use the hammer to hammer in nails, and use the screwdriver to drive in screws.

For example, maybe use Ruby on Rails to rapidly prototype a data-base driven CRUD app, but when you need to build a low level device driver, maybe you should use a language like C++

There is no "best" language for everything. There are only languages that are best for certain niches.

Notice how fair share is never actually stated...

How much of your time should you be forced to devote to others - the majority of government spending is on social programs. 1 day a week, 2 days a week?

What's the fair share? I'd say it's actually far lower than current tax rates.
In my limited experience, most browsers do what you describe already. Unless you type a 100% correct URL (and sometimes even if you do), a normal browser will send your URL string to Google (or similar entity), who will send back a redirect. The process is fast enought for you not to notice.

It is often possible (if hard) to configure browsers to do traditional URL resolving, but I wouldn’t bet on it always being possible. Google certainly has every reason to disallow reconfiguring their own browser to not send data to Google.
No. Losing weight might read as being weaker. Why would any gov want that?

Physicists observationally confirm Hawking's black hole theorem for first time
Phrases like 'anti-science contrarianism', 'global warming denier' etc are primarily emotion driven. Add in a bit of profanity and you have a fairly typical reactive climate alarmist. What 'inappropriately processed data' were you referring to in particular?
Exactly my thought. I would assume any such fee would either go to money that would already be spent but now funded by the new fee (For example, the tax rebates on solar installations) or else go to porkish things that pretend to be about climate.

"His Nolan guest analysis showed nationalist views are represented 6% of the time while unionist views get 65% of the airtime. "

I suppose saying such things in North Ireland is like criticizing the Chechen President Kadyrov in Russia - you get very specific people visiting you and "explaining" to you that you have to apologize, and you do happily apologize publicly after that, very similar like the supposed "troll" did here.

One can also notice how all the wording around that settlement is all about threats to any future "trolls", and with the "personal security" words present in the context the message is hardly can be made more clear.
Effectively Taking Calls in a Loud Room
If it was only fax or snail mail only I'd be more outraged. The hassle associated with email is roughly symmetric. In other words, the hassle you having to fill out a form and attach it in a email is roughly equal to the hassle of equifax having to hire someone to manually process the emails. This is as opposed to something like fax/mail which is much more of a hassle for the average consumer (digging up a fax machine, or having to print something off and buying stamps/envelopes) than equifax (getting the mail delivered to their doorstep). Having an email rather than a web form was probably because they figured there wouldn't be enough request to justify building a CRUD app to manage it.
The comment is correct: printing the money is actually taxing the poorest: because government spends money inefficiently, and printed money end up in the richest (and worse than that, corrupt and counterproductive) people pockets.

Like if you tax a next Bezos, you will have no next Amazon.

But if you stop printing money, you will take money from some government contractor, who is a friend of a senator.
it is slightly worrying that society allows something so big that's so... fragile? it's like a disaster waiting to happen and bound to cause massive amounts of damage...
I'm sure if you used a bus and train instead of a car, you'd reduce way more. But hey, 2M is "really big number" so, let's impress people with that one.

Seriously though, the time they spent discussing this could've probably been spent more productively discussing more environmentally impactful measures. This seems like busy work to be able to tell the voters "Look! We're doing something about the problem!".
Estimating is hard. I like doing it too but it takes me several days to get an accurate estimate. Takes a decent chunk of meetings, figuring out every task that needs to be done, plus major risks and blockers
Very likely you will be using them in some form I'm afraid. Hard to avoid - especially for smaller businesses.

For example, since many other small businesses use them, you may be paying your invoices through their payment portal for bills sent to you.

They've done deals with bill.com (which bought divvy for 2.5B).

Your payroll provider may provide payroll information to assist employees with their intuit turbotax filings.
If you make the easiest to use Ponzi consuming tool, it doesn’t matter. There will always be more ponzis.

So weird. I swear the latter part of the article wasn't loading when I clicked on it yesterday
Taxes aren't a virtue - they're a necessary evil. They're coercion, only paid on the threat of violence. We should be aiming to minimize taxes and fund programs through other voluntary means. So where the money is being spent should be considered when talking about how much should be raised, since it the cause.

The military budget is a red herring. If the budget was reduced to zero it would barely effect the deficit, yet over the long term it would probably cost more, since a weak nation invites war.

On the spot! Robinhood has made it so easy to trade that I have seen many people trading from their mobile while having a coffee or commuting! I would really like to see all these "traders" in 5/10 years ... if it is true that 80% of day traders loose money .. I bet tons of improvised traders will learn a very expensive lesson.

I don't do trading, I simply don't have time to fully look into companies balance sheets etc. I buy index/mutual funds , I might have missed the meme stocks but I am happy with my steady growing investments, compounding effect works great!

> But the odds that a communist party leader's speech is going to lead to an intellectually curious discussion from the front page of Hacker News are statistically zero

That's a very reductive and oriented political statement.

This happens to be a speech by the leader of one of the major powers on this planet. It is also full of historical and cultural references.

At the very least an attempt to understand his and China's point of view should be intellectually interesting and may lead to a better understanding among people of different cultures.

I agree with your point that any attempt to discuss this would lead to flame wars and drown any interesting comments. This is unfortunately the state of things on HN. Nonetheless, I feel that dismissing the submission on the basis that it is from a "communist party leader" lacks intellectual curiosity and is, as said, a political and preconceived opinion.
Is this just another take on "mindfullness" ?
I don't think this is a very good characterisation at all.

Nations don't have a lot of control over what goes on outside their borders. They can try, but it's hard.

So you end up with weird 'race to the bottom' scenarios where everyone is trying to out-do one another with lower rates i.e. a giant prisoner's dilemma.

Something needs to be done collectively to sort out the problem and this kind of activity is how it's done.

This effort is not about 'fleecing' it's more or less trying to but a lower bound on corporations ability to avoid paying taxes.

It's the opposite of 'not serving their citizens' - it's making sure that taxation is applied to international corps in some consistent way.

I don't think 'conspiracy theorists' have been talking about this one.
