"Tax = bad" thinking is basically a core pillar of the American way of thinking, unfortunately.
Any details on this? I’m curious
Please forgive me for the brash and commanding tone of the unsolicited advice, but: Sell it!! Get one that has duplex. Someone else will love your non-duplex printer just like it is. Duplex is so absolutely and completely worth having if one is so inclined.
That is a valid argument against unethical behavior but again, this isn't valid for the reality of arms sales. It would be better if that weren't the case, but it isn't. And the place to start is always your own government because here you are responsible and have the ability to enact change. Your government will try to move you to point fingers at other country. Exactly like you do here.

What the Russians do isn't an argument...

My understanding of the comments is that the week 2180 code was supposed to be 2022-12-31, but the code is actually 2021-10-24 (end of week 2180).

In other words, the heading is correct.
Nothing stops this today other than employers who choose not to because they don't want to.

The former: once you have COVID you're immune to it. Unless a strain totally evades the antibody response of recovered individuals (very unlikely), then they're no longer capable of spreading it.

So if there's overall less replicants of one strain then the other, then the population will effectively select for the more infectious one. Actual geography of course is also key here though: if a carrier flies over to an unexposed area with any strain, it's going to take over if the other one doesn't make it there.

It's been 2 decades since I last programmed in C. But all I remember of Macros is that some of the most difficult bugs to spot in C code lives in Macros. A missing paranthesis, unthoughtful coding can make it extremely difficult to spot the bug.

It feels like the goal is to make some point about how stock trading is gambling or just a losing proposition but you'd have to be a total idiot to trade in a manner anything like this game in real life.

Of course if you treat a random stock as a roulette wheel you might lose. That's not much of a profound insight.
Cheap green electricity at less than 50 $/MWh should not be a problem, most PPAs are already getting signed at costs substantially lower than that.

I agree, I read a lot more papers when I print them off. Thanks for the advice about the color printer - I also find my comprehension better that way. I've saved your recommendation for when I next am looking to buy a new printer.
I really enjoyed working with Vue 2 until I started using TypeScript.

Vuex, the goto state manager just wasn't built for it (I ended up using vuex-module-decorators). Type safe templates were only partially possible with Vetur (vs code extension) but it was slow and resource hungry. I'm sure in Vue 3 this is much better now, but while evaluating to migrate to v3 this wasn't the case.

I became interested in React, because I was looking for a way to generate type safe email templates. Started using .tsx files with a library called typed-html and loved it so much that I end up migrating to React (now rendering email templates with ReactDOMServer.renderToString(element).

Still miss Vue's simplicity at times but having rock solid TypeScript support is something I value more.
Axiom.ai (YC W21) Is Hiring – UX Designer and Developer
I agree that this provision is a disaster and will force a lot of cryptocurrency startups to incorporate outside of the US and also not offer their services to US customers. It's a real shame. The government should be able to get enough data for tax compliance just by making fiat on-ramps and off-ramps (aka exchanges) implement KYC (know your customer) rules.
Oh, I don't really use it on mobile :( . It's on my work laptop where like you I keep my private and work accounts separate :) .

Optimisations Are Not Solutions
Prime example of how our brains trick us with the rosy retrospection cognitive bias.

"Everything was better in the past."

It's also closely related to declinism.

A rather dangerous development is the right wing's favourite narrative of "everything is getting worse in our world", which is in fact the opposite of what we measure with most indicators like corruption perception index, GDP per capita, happiness index, etc.

I think cherry picking negative aspects of today's world and compare it to positive aspects of the past draws a very subjective picture of how the past was.

What about type checks?
Some communities have also been disproportionately persecuted by the police for, a very long time. Maybe it's a legacy of slavery and later segregation. Maybe it's a lack of unifying national spirit (the melting pot of cultural assimilation and a desire to be a small spice in a greater whole) which might have just been wishful thinking on the part of history book authors.

I suspect most of the non-anarchist who feel that way would agree with my take that "defund" might be better expressed as RE-form.

Re-form the Police in a de-militarized way. Structure community interaction so they are helpful, rather than penalizing. (E.G. more like Japanese neighborhood branches.) Split out social and mental health crisis, maybe with domestic violence response teams that include a mix of branches. Also, for mental health, make it easier to get interventions earlier, before assault with a deadly weapon leads to regrettable and unavoidably bad sets of outcomes.

I find Clojurescript to have a superb async support and ecosystem.
That is not how Mortimer J. Adler defines syntopic reading in "How to Read a Book".
For him, Syntopic Reading is about finding a new understanding that didn't exist in any of the books you are reading, but that you, as a reader, create.

My take of Adler's method is that, if you can't find a new message in the books you are reading either:
1) you aren't putting enough effort in your reading
2) the books are not good enough (hence not worth your time to read)
What's dehumanizing is a white woman confronting you because your PoC child is playing on the sidewalk in front of her condo and demanding you leave because your child is inside napping (by the way, Sidewalk Suzie was the executive director of a humanitarian institute.)

What's dehumanizing is showing up for a BBQ in a park, and having a white woman waddle over and demand you show her your permits and then call the police, when she has literally no evidence whatsoever that you lack a permit other than your skin color and her prejudice *and it's not her job or business in the first place to enforce permits*.

What's dehumanizing is being an accomplished, educated Harvard professor and getting arrested in your own home because some white woman saw you at the door of your fancy home in Cambridge and thought you were "suspicious"

Maybe you should be more concerned about systemic over-policing of people of color, which seems to raaaather often be initiated by a white women minding their own goddamn business. Like, seriously: these incidents never involve PoC bringing in the police, and it's very rarely white dudes. It's damn near always white women.

Switzerland is a tax-heaven for the ultra wealthy. These individuals buy passports from countries with territorial or no tax at all. This way they can open bank accounts claiming to be tax residents in such countries, and avoid tax reporting to their true tax resident country. When the OECD designed the information exchange protocol they did learn about this phenomenon. It turns out that the implementation of CRS (common reporting standards) was actually different from country to country. The OECD negotiated each deal individually with all the different countries in the world. One of the very few features of AEOI (automatic exchange of information) in the CRS that Switzerland did not sign fully with the OECD, was the "enhanced" validation of the account holder citizenship. It was marked "optional" for Swiss banks to validate. [1]
Switzerland has been a tax haven for so many years now (they invented the business, we could argue), that they don't care about the small fish anymore. They are all about the UHNW (ultra high net worth) individuals and families.
Now, there is some interesting things to be noted for such individuals. Many centamillionaires and billionaires are tax residents in many countries. They own properties and businesses all across the world, which often needs you to have tax IDs in those countries, either as a natural person, as a corporation or both. It doesn't matter if the corporation, in such case, is a complicated and obfuscated entity because the bank reports the tax id of the significant owners, not regarding how many layers of corporate structures there are (except for exotic "non-incorporated" entities such as trusts, which also serve the purpose of reducing tax burdens or hiding away assets). Most tax systems across the world were designed for normal people who don't own stuff all around the world and are based upon the principle of worldwide taxation based on your "true" residence. Truth is many of these billionaires are not true only-residents of any country. They might be traveling around the world for many months each year, having multiple homes across the world. So, which should be their "true" tax resident country? Apart from the USA, which taxes Americans regardless of where they reside, most of the remaining countries of the world are pretty ambiguous about this dilemma and most importantly, they are unable to enforce taxation of the worldwide income, and in the end, in practice, people with multiple citizenships and permanent residencies just choose whichever is more convenient when making their invoices or opening their bank accounts. That's why Switzerland may score so high on the list. Almost all UHNW individuals have bank accounts in Switzerland because they open them with their most convenient passports and/or permanent residence cards, and they prefer to bank in Switzerland because they have better perks, better mobile apps, better account managers, they can get an AMEX black card guaranteed by their private banking account balance, and much more.

If a prospective employer has a hiring process that is wasteful and pointlessly bureaucratic and tests people for things entirely irrelevant to a role, that tells me they're likely to be an awful place to work and/or don't understand what they're hiring for (which is likely to make them an awful place to work too).

If you I consider that arrogance, then so be it. I consider it not taking jobs that'd make me miserable, because I don't need to.

A prospective employer doesn't have a right to have me bend over for whatever process they'd like.
It’s not about criticism and competing ideas, it’s about trying to force a definition of idea different from what it actually is.

For my in mind-blowing that people still code with plain strings.

Why in the world would you ever write text over proper JavaScript language.

You lose so many features.

For example you lose type check, which it's core to any project.

For me it's a no brainer to use an existing language to render stuff. Tsx I know it's not just js, but I can consider as just plan js/ts code.

Edit: seems like they do type checking, but I'm pretty sure can't do type checking at the whole file level.

None of that would have happened without Werner von Braun and his crew. And Russia beat the US to space to begin with.

Yes, SpaceX could only happen in the United States. But let't not pretend that the whole American package warrants the 'favored and exceptional nation' badge that so many seem to want to bestow on it, which is what this American exceptionalism is all about. Shining city on the hill and more of that kind of crap.
It definitely exists at least since Windows 7. Windows 10 expanded it so that tiling a window to one half of the screen lets you fill the other half with another window with just one click.

Linux desktops also have this for quite some time, usually also allowing tiling to a quarter of a screen instead of just left/right half.
> Messaging is the heart of a remote org and it should be “on premise” by default

Really not sure about that. I work at an MSP/MHP that has infrastructure everywhere ( multiple DCs, AWS, Azure, GCP, OVH, etc.) and recently we had a huge network outage at a few of our on-prem DCs due to a firmware bug in some redundant networking equipment. Having the communications software "in the cloud" allowed collaboration on fixing and communicating about the issue.

Sometimes it's a good idea not to have all the eggs in one basket. In a similar vein, if your "on-prem" is dead, how do you access the documentation helping you debug/connect/etc.?
I am from the EU and more like GDPR (assuming it's even that and not e.g. licensing like BBC Global) than not but I think it's totally fair in general for companies to not provide their services to places where the local laws don't suit them.
How to Fax Without a Landline
As the Internet has been widely used, it’s increasingly easy to talk, “meet” and contact others. The features of the phone we hold in our hands aren’t limited to a talking tool. Due to the rapid development of VOIP technology, even the traditional telecommunications are gradually over the Internet instead of landlines.

Powerline ethernet adapters have always depended very heavily on how the power is laid out in your home (and things like "noise") They can't, for example, jump breakers well.

So YMMV, but in my experience they haven't improved much if at all, the only thing that could have changed is your placement, the noise on the lines or your home.
Exactly. Just like a lot of other things created in the same spirit: technically good, but designed in a bazaar rather than an ivory tower. That’s why people complain about UX and not that it’s pretty but crashes a lot.
"Some communities have also been disproportionately persecuted by the police for, a very long time."

Are you friggin' serious? It's OK if a police officer commits suicide, because some other people harassed some other people before?
Idea: have event streams between microservices always be bilateral (two party) contracts. When you want to make a change, you can pick up the phone to the other end and get it done quickly.

Multilateral contracts easily lead to email chains or meetings over each change, and compromise data structures, similar to the “add a column on the end” culture often used in shared reldbs.

What is your motivation for wanting microservices? As an alternative, what about events between the processes of single codebase? In that case, when you want a schema change - change it, run your tests to see that all modules comply, redeploy everything.
> their components become this horrible frankenstein of modifying HTML both through React and directly.

I need to know what the problem is with modifying HTML inside a browser that knows and expects the HTML to be modified, even providing DOM APIs for this exact reason. What is the benefit of modifying a not the DOM besides the dubious claim of performace++?

I use react everyday now BTW. I needed to do something trivial like use something similar to setproperty to update CSS variable with JS returned values. This was part of a component that gets 3 colors and returns an array of RGB values which I need to change the background into a gradient. The one piece of advice I got from the internet is...

styled components.

FfS.

React is breaking every best practice from ~20 years ago of keeping concerns seperate. Sure Jqeury wasnt perfect but I could get a junior dev fresh out of school up an running in two weeks flat. There was no need to bend the time-space continuum with the black whole density of node_modules for every_single_thing.
They really don't, and FFS, I refuse to ever agree to a cookie question on a site I do NOT create a sign-in for. I block those elements and disable javascript, etc.

I'm saddened that 3 years later they still haven't given up trying to demand things I'm never giving them. Too many have given in to the Windows UAC / Popup 'just click yes' illness of security fatigue.
