Seems like only one of the chapters is on naming variables?
A tax haven is a nation with low to no taxes, where foreigners can operate for tax purposes.
The term you are looking for, and almost had, was "tax avoidance".
Tax avoidance is perfectly legal. It is tax evasion that is illegal.
‘Orwellian’: Facebook faces backlash for ‘harmful extremist content’ alerts
Yeah I’m kinda confused with the huge amount of anger surrounding this. Yes the text is scary, and it’s scary because being made aware that governments do have the power to make pretty much everyone turn over information they have on you isn’t fun. But this really isn’t Audacity’s problem specific.

Sorry, my bad. I never browse without uBO and didn't notice.
money will just disappear at some point, it already lost all of its meaning, it is not used to share services anymore

money is used to empower the wrong people, take a look at our society, people who invest live a better life than people who take care of our elderly people, worse they live a better life than the people who are cleaning our cities

worse, they live a better life than researchers, and scientists

money is a dumb thing, nowadays
Long COVID is essentially post viral syndrome. It's real, but not unique.
>apps start migrating preferentially to Android as the preferred platform for ‘free’ apps

It already is for truly free apps. There are a lot more apps on Android that cost nothing and have no ads (because you just pay $25 once instead of $100/year).

As for the ad-filled ones? I think you'll see less shovelware, but only slightly less, since the lowest quality shovelware will no longer be profitable. It won't lead to a real boost in overall app store quality, though.
It's a chicken and egg issue. Webcams are crap partly because nobody has a good upload bandwidth to make it matter. Video software uploads at low bandwidth because everyone's connection is crap, etc, etc.

Also more than one person lives at a household typically. Imagine 3 or 5 zoom calls going at 4mbps simultaneously. That's 20mbps right off the bat, which over saturates most people's upload, so zoom goes conservative by default.

Or imagine in a remote learning, you could see the pupils laptop screen , their desk and their face simultaneously so you can help them with their issue quickly, in 60-30fps HD+ per stream. And then do that for 3 kids + 2 adults and now you have 60mbps. For the adults, simultaneous face, desk & slides would be a form of seamless white boarding at a presentation.

Many applications are limited by shitty internet.
I think it's a good default to think "this person is acting in good faith and believes their success is aligned with the company's success", but also recognize pretty quickly when people aren't arguing in good faith and not cling to the good-faith notion for so long that it prevents you from navigating the conflict situation effectively.

Have you tried creating a business?

People forget this is the most opportunity-filled, complex economy in the history of humanity. The idea of "spend your career at corporations" is only about 100 years old as a result of the industrial rev. Forget it about it for a second. My grandfather launched a company in his youth and it was considered normal, he wasn't considered an "entrepreneur", he was just doing what many people did before today's career-at-corporations mentality became entrenched.

You already know quite a bit about a wide array of industries. Spend some months focusing on your past experiences and where there might be a place for you to break in offering a product or service.
What if people with experience taught such newbies and used their network to pull them onboard in exchange for 15% of the newbie's paychecks for the first 5 years, enforced by a valid contract? There's clear benefit to all parties and this idea doesn't openly violate the law, although I admit it has a shady smell (a smell of good business?)
Yep. Ardour is completely Free and open source.

On Gentoo installing it as easy as typing:

"emerge ardour"

and your system will download, compile, and install ardour from source.
There's not going to be a standard workflow you can Google. This is super niche. Get in contact with your company's (hopefully it's a startup, so they're willing to be flexible) stock administrator and with the company you want to use for an IRA (you may need to hunt around to find one willing to jump through the hoops).

May or may not find them to be willing, but you also won't know until you try.
I'm not very knowledgeable on the subject but IIRC the Sikh don't cut their hair as part of their religion and the turbans are a strip of cloth that gets folded around their hair and then it is wrapped around their head and tied tight. It doesn't seem like something that would fly off from the wind, although depending on how you crashed it could slide off your head easier than a standard helmet. I think the real question is how much would a couple millimeters of non-newtonian fluid do to reduce a motorcycle impact.
I forgot to mention.

1 tremendous advantage to netcat:

SPEED.

This is the only "real-world" way to test line speed.
0 overhead, no faffing about services.

If you can't get line-rate speed on your LAN with this your hardware needs to be looked at.

iperf is handy, netcat is raw and real.
Shelves are server side though vs stash. I really don’t understand why stash can’t just support server side.
Open a self directed IRA with a company like Pensco, fund it with cash and buy the options with a check issued from that account instead of a personal check. If the options are one cent per share and eventually are worth hundreds of dollars, you can avoid the capital gains tax. You can’t withdraw it until you retire though.
Oilfield at least gives a satisfactory money. You have to love money, tho.
If you go to https://myaccount.google.com/permissions, you can turn off "Google Account sign-in prompts" on each of your Google Accounts and then you won't see any more of those prompts.

Don't know if Facebook has a similar option for their accounts though; I've seen a similar sign-in prompt elsewhere for Facebook.
This reminds me of the Linux Counter project. When you installed Slackware, you automatically had an e-mail from Patrick Volkerding or Harald Alvestrand asking you to e-mail Harald to explain how you used Linux ("I use Linux at home" / "I use Linux at work" / "I use Linux at school").

This personalized request always felt so warm and casual to me, and I appreciated the thought that Harald Alvestrand cared to know that I, personally, was using Linux.
And add that you need it for leverage with hardware vendors.
I've worked with at least 3 people in the lower mainland who did that program at BCIT and would be in your age range. I wonder if we're former colleagues.
As far as backups for future generations go, I'd hope archive.org has a backup of it all, regardless of whether or not they make it available. I certainly hope they have a program for keeping copyrighted (or otherwise private) data backed up for safekeeping for future generations without making it publicly (or privately) accessible; sort of a digital time capsule, if you will, that's kept securely locked until a future date.
It seems that RSS feed generators are a bit like static site generators: it's often thought to be easier to make your own than to learn to use someone else's.

Anyway, here's another self-hosted open source RSS feed generator for arbitrary websites: https://github.com/hueyy/HungryHippo
That really sucks (not joking)
> For context: Sikh bikers in Canada have protested laws mandating helmets be worn while riding.

Why is there a need for a law? Someone should be free to ride without a helmet, whatever his religion, as long as he can find an insurer willing to provide adequate coverage (or be able to self-insure) for his medical bills.
What I want to know is how does one engineer a carburetor without seeing it work in real life like this vid? I don't think they had fancy fluid sims when they we're designing them. Like even slight changes in how the fuel vaporizes and mixes could be huge for efficiency.
Really not that exciting.

tl;dr

> Rather than dump his money into index funds or some other safe investment, Thiel spent $1,700 for 1.7 million shares of PayPal (a company he cofounded), at $.001 per share, inside his Roth. Within a year, the value of his PayPal shares skyrocketed from $1,664 to $3.8 million. Thiel then sold those shares (still within the Roth), meaning the value of his Roth became millions.

Be at the right place at the right time and have everything work out in your favor, lol
Great example of a pet peeve of mine. Having to open the article to learn what kind of industry they are talking about because non-hardware areas of tech completely ignores that civil, electrical, mechanical, etc. designers/engineers exist.
I would wager the bulk could be minimized if ever commercialized.
I've never been a coffee drinker, but I drink one or two cups of tea a day. Maybe it helps a tiny bit, but I haven't really noticed.
It probably goes something like this:

1. Contribute cash to the IRA. Use IRA cash to buy stock options from someone who holds those options (e.g. yourself). Ensure that you have real paperwork to back up the price that you're paying because if you don't the IRS is going to eat you alive!!!

2. Wait until options have value.

3. Contribute additional cash to IRA.

4. Use cash to exercise options.

There might be a slightly different flow to contribute the options, consult someone who knows what they're doing.
I picked up all the Rust books when I decided to learn Rust a few months back. Fortunately, two were from the library (the Rust book and the Apress one), while the other I already had thanks to a Humble Bundle deal (the O'Reilly one). The Rust Programming Book is excellent (and also available freely online/via rustup docs --book, but I like to read on paper when I can). The O'Reilly one is a little out of date, but unsurprisingly comprehensive and answers some questions that were of interest to me (like that a match expression turns into a jump table automatically if the data an be appropriately indexed, e.g., if you're matching on a u8) and covers macros which the book does not. The Apress book, on the other hand, is a hot mess and often actively wrong (and important things like the distinction between String, str, OsString and OsStr are simply ignored). If I wasn't just blindly requesting stuff via my library's online catalog, I would have skipped it because I've never seen a good Apress book.

(edited to say Apress and not Packt. I'd forgotten which crappy publisher I was dealing with.)
I am curious about this. Isn't it the case that most interesting new articles are available on ArXiv or one of the newer preprint repositories that seem now to pop up every day (often with funny names such as engrXiv or Frenxiv)?

Did people really stopped reading arXiv, like they stopped reading journals, and moved on to Sci-Hub completely?

Or the final published versions are substantially different from preprint versions often enough to make Sci-Hub is so important?
I agree with this a great deal. I think I had a strange perception of development coming out of school.

The job of a developer is to build something useful (valuable) for the company, imo.

The barrier to building something useful is rarely the pure techical difficulty, in my experience. It's knowing what to build and coordinating with others.

When I left school I was motivated a lot by building something "cool" or interesting. It's part of what got me interested in the field. But it's not the job.
Yeah, but it rhymes.
> You can’t withdraw it until you retire though.

You can withdraw the original principal tax free after five years and profits can be withdrawn at any time by paying income taxes and a 10% penalty.

If you have any other assets it’d be stupid to withdraw it though. Tax-free accounts are the last one you want to draw from.

Investing your Roth IRA in a company your the CEO of like Peter Thiel did is illegal, making this tax evasion.

As to why it’s illegal, selling an arbitrary number of shares in your private company to yourself for 1$ then buying it back from yourself at say 1 billion dollars is normally legal. So, without such limits everyone could move unlimited money into a Roth IRA.
It doesn't say that. It says it was a submerged object that caused the water to churn:

> To summarize Fravor’s eyewitness account to the New York Times, the pilot reported seeing a large submerged object that was causing the ocean to churn. Hovering about 50 feet above that churn, the 40-foot Tic Tac zipped erratically around the submerged object.
The API looks quite a lot like the one provided in `tracing` - what aspect of these optimizations would be incompatible with that library/ is there any reason not to implement them there?
Telemetry creates a liability for the user for no benefit (and as Windows 10 demonstrates, the amount of telemetry is anti-correlated with software quality).

Even if we assume there is no malicious intent from either the developer nor their infrastructure provider (their initial telemetry attempt was using Google Analytics which is definitely malicious), it can still be coopted by a malicious actor who is able to observe the network traffic or compromise the telemetry infrastructure and put the users at risk.
You're not allowed to.

Employee stock options are earned income, and you can't assign earned income into an IRA to escape taxation.

Before you ask, you're also not allowed to sell your stock options to your IRA.

As for how Thiel did it? It was arguably a prohibited transaction at the time and he's likely arguing that the statute of limitations has long past.
> governments do have the power to make pretty much everyone turn over information they have on you isn’t fun

Unless you do not collect said information in the first place.
I don't mind the idea of applying, as long as you negotiate seriously.
The entire purpose of the financial instrument is to avoid taxes.
The Financial Times article (linked from this one) is much better: https://www.ft.com/content/b3ea5177-9312-418b-acb7-af16a3bdc...
I'm personally not confused, just disappointed. Sadly I've seen far too many FOSS discussions that become overrun with irrationally paranoid rhetoric, sometimes bordering on the reactionary. This stuff is nothing new. You'd think that with the ability to quickly check the code and recompile it to get rid of any unwanted bits, that would make this kind of attitude go away, but for whatever reason it only seems to make it worse.
That's the point... knife crime is their new gun violence. Every problem solved will be replaced by some new problem - the politicians need their talking points.
In hindsight, I wonder why Intel or other chip makers didn’t invest more in datacenters/hosting companies just to get this valuable data.
It doesn't need to cover the entire border, the less area are exposed are better for your country's defense, this is security 101. Case in point, Belgium is widely considered as a buffer state between France and Germany because they have been fighting since forever, and it does not cover their entire border length.
There's a continuum between the widely used repos with >10k stars and the zero stars code from a tutorial.

I think it's still worthwhile to share code, because I think it's worthwhile to be able to _read_ code that others have written.

e.g. Making use of a Static Site Generator is by-programmers-for-programmers for fun. If I share my code, someone can copy-paste it and play around with it for themselves.

e.g. Projects with niche use cases will likely never receive many stars, but can still be worthwhile to share. I made a simple keyboard PCB design with KiCad, and shared this. It's nice to be able to see and make use of other designs.

When I read through people explaining how they achieved some solution with whatever tools, ("getting X running with Y on Z"), it's nice if their notes come with code so it's easier to try. -- Repositories like this with notes may not be very popular, but I appreciate that people share these.
Which is to say, they work exactly as well as in C.

Nobody is an absolutist statement. The people hosting this code clearly didn’t give this much thought. People downloading it likely won’t either.
3d CPU stacking seems interesting where surface area is a limited resource, but otherwise it seems like it would significantly complicate cooling things efficiently. Or isy assumption wrong?
If Canada started producing 10x per person it would be the worlds second largest emitter. So yeah, it would matter.

Pretending this is exclusively China’s problem when the rest of the world produces 3/4 of global emissions and a significant percentage of China’s emissions are a result of demand from the West, is simply nonsensical.

We will not get out of this by focusing on spinning stats or trying to focus attention on per capita vs. absolute figures. This problem requires collective action.
Dear @holycrapguys,

There are 101 things that you can try but there is one thing you must do..is to keep trying.
How exactly was it 'manipulated'?
Just to note that 30 isn't very old (although it might not seem that way at the time). Most people are only just starting to get into their stride, if they were lucky and got through education in the minimum time and landed a career path job immediately.

> Use IRA cash to buy stock options from someone who holds those options (e.g. yourself)

Non-arms-length transactions, which includes you selling something to "yourself", are prohibited transactions with respect to IRAs (for pretty obvious reasons).
None of the video streaming software is set up for that, because nobody's internet can upload in that. The best I can do is a 1080p SLR ($350, once) + clicking the HD button in zoom, and most of that is being carried by the better optical system. All the low frame rates, micro stutters and so on still exist, adding to zoom fatigue.
Yes, some journals will desk-reject your submission if it's on arxiv/biorxiv.

If you not post the preprint and submit, you're defeating the purpose of preprints, isn't it? We're back to square one!

Normally yeah, people submit an updated preprint based on peer reviewers' comments. Biorxiv has a nice 'see the newest version of this paper' button for that.
That's not true, web developers are doing their functions.php over and over and over.
kudos for this.
> Users pretty much never tell maintainers what is going wrong for them: no messages (much less proper bug reports), no contributions in any way!

Does something have to go wrong and do maintainers have to know about it?

I mean, if users are using the software, even if it's not perfect, what's the big deal - is that not good enough?

> IF you demand no auto-feedback in the name of privacy, THEN you should help out voluntarily OR not use free software!

The point of free software is that I can use and modify it as I want. I do not "owe" feedback (or anything else for that matter) to the developer.
> Isn't it the case that most interesting new articles are available on ArXiv

No, that's not the case outside a few subfields.
A dynamically allocating bandwidth allotment from a fixed budget would probably be a great improvement. 5 seperate zoom call time? More upload! Netflix time? More download, less upload! 3am backup upload time, mostly upload!
You wrote 11 paragraphs about how HN deserves better than what everyone except you wrote. Yet in your reply you didn't address the comment to which you replied.

There is some about IT in large enterprises/banks that for all intents and purposes, groom you to do exactly this
Depends on the market price.

Storing for say 1 month means you get 12 payouts per year, storing it for 12 hours means you get 365 payouts per year. If your on average getting say 1c/kWh from the distance in values prices every day then your monthly sale needs to be at 30c/kWh to be worth it. Prices simply don’t rise that high every month making long term storage less valuable than daily storage.

On top of this these things aren’t 100% efficient. Buying at 7c/kWh and selling at 8c/kWh is losing money if these are say 80% efficient. Which means you’re never going to profitably buy and sell throughout the day. Thus the 500MWh capacity will mean some long term storage.
With that, I would say good luck troubleshooting your server if you don't collect any logs whatsoever. I wonder how you would even protect against bruteforcing and DDOS attacks if you never stored IP addresses for any amount of time.
This. Hell, most corporate users are still using Windows 7 (I try to avoid working some place I can't have a Mac, but despite Windows 8 having been released in 2012 and 20 in 2015, I have never seen either in a corporate environment).
>How did 4chan types even find out about it?

Many of the people on /g/ are regular programmers. You may be underestimating how much overlap there is between readers of this website and /g/. Remember that there is more to 4chan than just /b/ or /pol/.

We can abstract your statement slightly by saying that it is "scheming to meet a desired objective". Then, in a way you also played "politics" by crafting path in your career to the way you like; in a different way; likely without impacting life of others.

Overall, not all politics are bad.
Bitcode does not do this, unfortunately.
I'm guessing it has more to do with comfort and appearances (they do look badass). I never really understood laws that force adults to wear helmets, if someone want's to take the risk then thats their decision.
It looks like according to this source [1] placing stock options in a self-directed IRA violates tax code. This makes me wonder what kind of trickery was used to get this accomplished for Thiel. Granted, it's possible that the tax code was different than. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
