Raising corporate taxes is popular, but I suspect the end result of this proposal would be to lower corporate taxes.

First, countries would reduce their taxes to the minimum 15% based on the same dynamics we had until today (note that US's tax is higher). Later, countries would find ways to return the tax (not difficult when one could simply 'fail' to collect, or give 'investment aid' etc.).

IMHO, the importance of the treaty is with regards to establishing common standards. Raising corporate rates would require an additional vehicle.
Is that how you'd describe the behavior of the VP of Netflix who accepted kickbacks to approve contracts?

Corruption means a system not operating as it should.

they can rent it and yes generally they owned nearby peasants too, then they can sell the yield to the peasants.
I think the difference here is that the materials used are cheap and easy to procure. That sounds like maintenance should be straightforward. The difference between producing water locally and shipping/trucking it in is probably huge in places without water pipes. A couple of gallons a day goes a long way. Scale it up a little and now you are irrigating your vegetable garden as well.
Notes mostly kinda worked when I used it 20 years ago. Company had built up some forms and whatnot and it was clunky but worked.

However I do especially recall a hilarious incident, where one employee sent an e-mail to the entire company email alias, forging the sender address to that of his boss.

The e-mail contained some NSFW pictures and text. As most here will know, back then there was no validation of the sender address with SMTP, so forging that was easy. However the Notes gateway happily translated the e-mail address such that what we got in Notes did indeed look exactly as if our boss had sent it from Notes.
I'll assume the device isn't using an infinitely long wick, so you face the same outflow problems as traditional plants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination#Outflow
I have a custom domain email address on Zoho and suffer constantly from delivery issues. Sometimes my emails go into spam filters, sometimes they go into a black hole. It’s a huge PITA and I am tempted to either move providers (maybe it’s Zoho’s fault) or just stop using my custom domain (maybe it’s not Zoho’s fault).
Copper?
Heck, why not lump the data together?

Further, get base death rates from fatal causes attributed to vaccine in unvaccinated population.
It's rather crucial to do so, because unvaccinated people sitting at homes (not moving enough) can develop clots more often too. Or the opposite.

If that data is insufficient, you can also employ base rates pre-pandemic.
unless we formally define 'dumbing down', I think that's just opinion.

Just to take one example, scroll bars were turned optional with default off -- a simpler UX that's in favor of less visible user interactions for the sake of reducing user complexity is usually considered dumbing down.

Now, in Apple Land, far behind the Reality Distortion Field, they may refer to the reduction of user interaction options as 'beautification' -- but everyone else usually just calls it 'simplification', which is often (diminutively, perhaps) referred to as 'dumbing down'.

(in reply to "scrollbars only disappear without a mouse" , so what? That's still a reduction in user-visible information -- do touch users somehow not need to be told that an active view can be scrolled by anything other than visual gestures and cues? It's a nice pipe-dream, indicative design, but there isn't any design standard that suggests that may be or even could be the case.)

tl;dr : when a user loses visible indications, and loses possible interactions, it's not uncommon to phrase the state as being 'dumbed down'.
I mean, the blog is entitled "A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry", which is exactly what this article is.

Yes, a "nation" may be defined as group with common origin, but the word is used synonymously with "state" nowadays. So while the US may not be a "state" with the same "national" origins as others, it's still on equal footing with states who derive their identify from ancestral origin.

At any rate, a better country to explore might be Singapore. Having spent some time there, that is truly a "state" looking for "nationhood". It was a British colony for a while, populated by a mix of Chinese, Malay, Indians and Westerners. It briefly joined Malaysia, but then was kicked out.

It's amazing the effort the government puts in to nurture a sense of national identity, it most certainly didn't come naturally - one could argue Singapore had the most stacked against it - a mix of ethnicities, many who strongly identified with their homeland, a history of a trading port with a transient population, and no heroic story of independence, rather an independence forced on it.

Government programs like HDB (home ownership), national service and racial policies to prevent balkanization have gone pretty far in creating a Singaporean identity. But I get the sense the govt feels it could go the other way just as easily if allowed to wilt.
It think, VP shines in specialized fields and not general programming.

Visual domains are an obvious example.

If your domain is constrained by something that maps good to spatial dimensions than you're good to go. A few extra dimensions can also put into styling. But after that it becomes too restricting.

That's why interface builders work fabulous until you have to implement actual business logic and modularize your application. This always leads to adding things that aren't directly represented in the current visual model and get lost, because of indirections.
Definitely the concept is great! However it can be done so much better.

I only used the app for a few weeks and encountered so many problems. I'm even surprised people tout their UI as a pro. The visual flair/theme is nice, but it's quite poor from a UX perspective.

Sidenote, I don't get why brokers don't offer a monthly payment to avoid having your order flow sold/provide better fills. Lots would take up on that
The four parts of the UK are called “countries” for purely historical reasons. There’s no actual concrete difference in political organization today that would let one claim that Scotland is a meaningfully different type of entity from autonomous regions of other unitary states (e.g. Catalonia).
More than just SPF, DKIM and DMARC; mails still get silently discarded if you come from an IP address with a poor reputation. For this reason most of the large VM hosting providers will work but not give great results.
They did. Multiple times. HobbyKing went on the ol' "You have no jurisdiction" route, or tried to.

Additionally, the devices interefered with Aircraft and GPS Frequencies. If you jammed around in a less sensitive band (ie, blocked something non-vital), they might close an eye or two over it. But GPS and Airtraffic Frequencies is where any regulation agency on this planet will bring the hammer down because accidents caused by that would be quite costly in lives and money.

If you're willing to print slowly, those are not notable specs. A $250 Ender has an XY resolution of 0.01mm and 0.15mm nozzles are common.
I receive a lot of fake user signups on the web tool I publish for free. These users (bots?) sign up using fake email addresses, but putting a captcha does not help much. I send a confirmation email to these users to make sure they exist, but if the email address does not exist, sending that confirmation email hits my account's deliverability (spam) score as it generates a bounce which my email sender provider does not appreciate.

For example, I've received multiple warnings from Intercom that I need to improve deliverability of my email, or they will ban my account. Ironically one of the suggestions is to use confirmation emails - but that's exactly where the problem is for me.

A tool like this helps me to weed out a ton of these undeliverable email addresses to avoid sending emails that will hit my spam score.

> checking for a bounce

So in my case, generating that bounce is exactly what I need to avoid in order to make sure my account remains in good standing.

The Deja vu sensation of this conversation happening almost identically 2 days ago (everything from wondering how >100% efficiency works, someone explaining it's from the environment, and then someone else explaining efficiency is inappropriate and COP exists) is kinda wild.

Hi, I'm Luke. I find satisfaction in working with geospatial stuff and on tricky responsive interface problems, figuring out how to work with old code or new codebases through testing and troubleshooting, as well as learning from my colleagues and teaching when I can.

WHY TO HIRE LUKE:

I'm persistent when it comes to solving problems and troubleshooting, and consider myself fairly good at it; though I know there's a lot I can learn. I’ve done so on one major website that serves billions in transactions annually and for a tiny website that hosts research datasets.
I like to challenge myself technically and in terms of responsibility; probably not a rare thing to find here on HN.
I'm approachable, and enjoy collaboration with others. Lean more extrovert, and am comfortable in crowds. Also very welcoming of advice; feedback and practice are the major ways to improve.
You want someone who is great in emergencies. I don't tend to panic, and have experience resolving issues that legitimately demand attention.
You want someone who thinks testing with users in real-world settings is worthwhile.
You need someone who values their own spoken communication skills. I have no experience in public speaking exactly, but I feel like I do ok when discussing or explaining things in a group context and find that it's an important thing to improve.

WHY NOT TO HIRE LUKE:

You need someone to communicate with customers or handle support inquires daily; not communication in general, just timely replies on a short cadence. This is not a strong point for me.
You can't let me have any agency over when or how I do work, and that work has little variety to it over a number of quarters. I'm a hard/smart worker, but I'm very cautious of burnout, and need to pick my battles carefully.
You want someone with experience in management or lots of leadership. I'm interested in taking on some higher level responsibilities, but I don't yet have those skills.
You want someone who has desirable stress responses to artificial emergencies (crunch time). What makes me good in real emergencies also makes me awful in imaginary ones (crunch time because of ill-considered deadlines).
You want someone who's been grinding leetcode problems. I have a brief and recent exposure to academic DS&A material, am interested in the subject and can build a priority queue from scratch, but I haven't yet passed Amazon's coding test :) (I also have a copy of CTCI, but it's rotting on a shelf)
Did I say something incorrect? (I noticed downvotes.)

I was trying to say that Bitcoin doesn't handle "merge". If 2 chains diverge at some point for whatever reason (in this case a firewall) then the nodes have the incentive to only keep the longest and discard the other one.

Therefore when the firewall disappears, all nodes will continue on the primary chain, with the effect of "discarding" all transactions that happened inside the firewall. And the amount of BTC in the op's wallet would be "reset" at the value it had before the firewall.
What you are proposing is exactly redistribution. Because you take money from one people and give it to others.

The mistake is that you think to get rid of poverty you need to send money to the poor.

But instead, to get rid of poverty the US need to make things cheaper for poor people, in particular, housing and healthcare. Both of these can be achieved with almost zero money by fixing regulations and perhaps adjusting taxation for these businesses (like give tax credits to companies which build homes where homes are desperately needed).

If you tax rid of the hard working rich, you will choke the economy (rich people who are the most productive, innovative, driving etc) will stop working. But if you make lives of poor people cheaper, they will be able to save more to get out of poverty and it will grow the economy.

You're going to get it if you like it or not. It's hard to imagine a future 10 years from now where MacBooks are not running an iPad OS ancestor rather than a MacOS ancestor.

Just gotta roleplay being a senior member of Apple where you know just how much money comes from iOS and just how many users there are of iOS vs their computers. iOS/iPadOS is the norm, MacOS is the weird odd one out.
Submitted an item about Posteo too before I saw this. IMO Posteo is the most serious, ethical and secure e-mail provider available, and at only €1 per month.

Anyone curious about privacy and security should look at their transparency report on information requests.
You say a lot of true things that aren't related to what I said and asked. No one said "the client can do whatever". No one reasonable says that.

> you are calling POST to "/api/sentiment/" with untrusted text that can leak into other parts of the request

Could you expand on this? What does 'leak into other parts of the request' mean?

> Or maybe you have some questionable "not a security problem" API design that re-uses the same POST endpoint for multiple things, and you could set "blockUser=true" and control the user name, or moderators can edit the message text.

Again, this sounds like a server-side problem and bad coding practices. If someone is allowing such things to happen, then the user has worse problems than the dev not formatting their data properly.

The OP's contention was that (pseudocode)

fetch({body:stringFromOutsideTheFunction})

is inherently a security risk and that the methods outlined would protect against the security risk.

I don't need to flog this horse. OP probably got a lot more attention for this article than he's used to. I wish he would at least mention that security must be done on the server-side, but whatever.

I'd like to point out that the concerns you do specifically have, that bad client-side code could lead to the user being fooled in some way is definitely true. I don't see how the example can naturally lead to that, but as I said, I'll let this go. However, one thing you can do to protect your users is to make sure that the server that serves the javascript has a content-security-policy response header, which would prevent XSS attacks. This will prevent altered code from loading in the browser. Read more about it here: https://content-security-policy.com/

Even more basic, everyone should be serving over https://. Those certificates used to be expensive, but now they are free or low-cost. This will encrypt the request/response traffic between your server and the user. More details here: https://letsencrypt.org/
can also mean you just have a faulty Bluetooth chip. My USB-C MBP has one, just stops working and needs a reboot to kick it back to life.

Desired position: Senior Developer/Engineering Manager/Software Architect

I have been employed in software development for almost 10 years and have written code for significantly longer. I am a deep specialist in databases and a good generalist in most other areas. I built myself as a T-shaped developer. I have worked databases, back-end, front-end (web and native, mobile and desktop) and testing throughout my time. With databases, I have experience with everything from relational algebra theory (I studied C.J. Date) to database design and normalization to query, procedure and index optimization. Throughout my career, I have developed a systemic viewpoint and an ability to understand how different components of a project and different teams interact together, all in order to walk the path of technical leadership. As a true engineer, I understand the importance of measuring before changing. Also, I am a sociable person and I have a teaching degree and have taught on numerous occasions with excellent results. Currently I am learning Solidity.

Due to my experience, I am currently aiming for a software architect/engineering manager/team lead role, or a role with growth opportunities toward a similar tech leadership position, a position in which I can grow and polish the skills of colleagues. From a tech stack POV, I am most excited by opportunities to work in Rust and opportunities to work on free open-source software. If you are looking to make the world a better place and need an engineer contact me.
> a journal called Vaccines

I'm an academic mathematician. Your pointing out the name of the journal is an interesting point.

Pop quiz: out of the journals Aequationes mathematicae, Indagationes mathematicae, Inventiones mathematicae, Quaestiones mathematicae, three are mediocre and one is absolutely top-notch. Without googling can you guess which?

MDPI is a publisher that was started recently, has apparently tried to grow very fast, and engages in questionable practices. I peer-reviewed for one of their journals once and had a very negative experience. Never. Again.

They've also started journals with good sounding names. For example there was no mathematics journal with the title "Mathematics" so they started one.

I've instructed my mail client that *@mdpi.com is to go straight to spam. I got invited to be on the editorial board of one of their journals, and I felt no guilt about not responding. Not too surprised to see them publish crackpottery.
These are corporations, not groups of people.

The rule can be observed if you look at groups in that corporation.
I wonder if that's behind the huge rise in MtF transsexuals in recent times. A friend of mine is a teacher in a high school and 4 of 15 kids in her class are trans.
> My server is quite low traffic, but it's been delivering mail reliably. How do I know? When I send mails, there's usually follow-ups.

And when there's no follow-ups, you just assume your mail has been delivered? I recommend actually measuring your deliverability before making claims about it.
Whoah, it just came to my mind it could be an interesting mechanism to explore for procedural generation (of levels and other stuff) in games! Does anyone know of any experimental games already trying to do that?
Reading it in the comments was still more efficient than reading the article.
Email deliverability is monopolised among the big players. Running your own email server and actually keeping your emails outside spam folders is more than one person's full time job. Partly this is not the big players fault but to say they don't benefit from it would be a lie.
Yes but the 2 chains cannot be merged, the longer chain is the true chain, so all the transactions on the shorter chain get cancelled. Essentially the users in the fire walled country would revert back to where their transactions and balances were in n they day they diverged. Good for some, not for others.

I liked how the TS Eliot one which the author calls "sublime" was actually impressively sophomoric. It really was like a painting an able, shallow person would come up with to reflect their idea of TS Eliot's poetry.

That in a sense is uncanny and notable.
"We host our servers through Amazon Web Services"

As long as you outsource the hosting to another company -- an American company in particular -- then you're not really in the business of secure e-mail.

Secure from other users? Sure. Secure from the hosting company and the government it answers to? Never.
Pretty sure they quit as an act of public activism about some popular political issue. Unfortunately, when scientist are also activists, they can no longer be objective. You don't see mass resignations when other crap papers get published. If it doesn't embarrass them politically, they accept it.
Old people are vaccinated the first. So the misleading numbers will improve.

But, the study counts all deaths after vaccination as vaccination deaths...

As a reference, Belgium counted all non tested deaths as covid deaths. Leading to a 100% overcount ( guessed).

Pretty wrong conclusion of the study because of wrong assumptions, obviously.

I don't even want mobile apps on my desktop. I can't think of any mobile native app I've wanted on macOS in this fashion. Apps designed to take advantage of a finger, or pen, on a screen are unlikely to ever be a great experience on my Mac. And the side effects on macOS are doubly unwelcome.
