Where I live I'd guess the rate is 100 bikes stolen for every car.

With a bike you don't expect it to be there after locking it in the street for more than 15 minutes. I don't know anybody personally whose car was stolen.
> Ostensibly as a programmer you know the semantics of your programming language, so the compiler isn't doing anything unexpected here ;) So from its perspective it is not doing anything unexpected to your code.

I just don't think having 'gotcha' rules the compiler exploits to do whatever it wants regardless of programmer intent is a good idea, and that's how C/C++ treats UB. UB should be a compiler error and force the programmer to specify what they want the result to actually be so there are no assumptions on the programmer end and no surprises from the compiler.

OK, I guess my sense of humour hasn't translated into your context. Clearly my comment makes you think I didn't get the joke, but I did.

Oh, I did. Really, I did.

I guess we're just talking past each other. <shrug> You didn't get my joke, probably because you think I didn't get the original.

Time to give up.
The concern is that Apple is handing governments a new tool to go “give me a list of all users that have this photo”. It could track down dissidents based on this and combined with metadata is probably sufficient to pinpoint who took a particular picture.

Think you shared that picture of police brutality anonymously? Think again.
Just to correct my last comment, after looking up the case, it seems Martha Stewart was actually not found guilty of insider trading. She was found guilty of lying to investigators.
How the essential farma became nearly 100% reliant on foreign manufacturers is I think the most exemplary case of this nonsense.

I read some year ago that there were laws in US which at least somehow discouraged the pharma from shipping manufacturing abroad, and it was the big pharma itself which lobbied these laws out.

This is how China held US at gunpoint in the early days of COVID — "Stay put, or we pull 90%+ of your antibiotics supply"
Nothing and no one is big enough to change your life. There are only several things that make small changes to your life, at different stages of your life, whether negative or positive changes, depending on how you cope with them. Add to this, what could be important for you, could be completely meaningless for someone else.
To be slightly pedantic, the US system of government is a federal republic[1] that includes some democratic concepts. An example of those concepts is the democratic election of representatives at a state and federal level.

DARPA funded most of the grant money used by research entities to create the various parts of the IP stack. That's not "basic research". Simply put, were it not for DARPA, we wouldn't have the Internet of today. We'd probably have something like it, but something a lot more closed off and walled garden-esque.

I'm late to this so don't know if you'll see it, but I live in rural New England and ticks have become ever more horrendous here, yet I haven't had a single one in, a decade at least? The big thing for me has been getting a solid set of permethrin utilizing full coverage clothing (look for branding like "Insect Shield"), including socks and a hat with neck protection, combined with occasional judicious usage of repellent (I suggest 20% picaridin instead of DEET, something like Sawyer Products which has almost no smell and won't melt polymers that deet will). Having clothing that one can just put on for going out and boom high protection makes it so convenient vs applying repellent that I never fail to, and it has done exactly what was promised. They don't last forever, after 50-70 washings they need to be replaced, but if using them in a focused way for outdoor usage that can last a good while.

I'd still absolutely leap at a vaccine if available, but physical/chemical protection does work so the trick is making it convenient enough and enough of a habit to be 100% consistent about it.
The ivory tower is working on it: https://github.com/w3c/EasierRDF
Right, I understand that. I guess my question was more of a general one on whether people think Apple in particular would cooperate with the government in that way? Obviously the San Bernardino shooter case comes to mind as an example of Apple not just folding to the government pressure.

Or a logistical game. That's exactly what Dyson Sphere Project is all about.
What's your alternative plan for paying for things?
I had a theory about this it involved a concept I called received perfection. Your users don't see the problems that you do with your product. They don't want it changed at all unless it is to fix something that they see as wrong.

If you want to redesign something you have to first convince the users that what you see as needing to be fixed is something that needs to be fixed. You got to focus on the flaws. So that they will welcome you fixing them.
This isn't accurate if you are talking about the federal level. A better model in terms of spending is that the federal government is an insurance company with an army.

The federal government spends something like 10 times as much on defense as direct educational expenditures and it's still significantly more than education if you include things like loan financing in education.

No. US cars got chips starting in the mid-80’s, so almost 40 years ago.

And they were actually much more reliable and efficient. Fuel injection was light years ahead of carburetors.

And I’d argue it would be impossible to meet emissions without computer control of the engine.
Well, in this particular case, there are two possible options: the loop either terminates, or your program will forever more do nothing observable other than producing heat. In the first case the compiler is right, in the second case your program was not doing anything possibly useful anyway. So, what's the actual harm?
No, still positive. Negative feedback is self-righting, while positive feedback is amplification (to speak in very broad terms.)
> The highest rate in 1913 was 7%. Today the lowest rate is 10%.

Those rates seem selected to support your point. For example, you left out that highest rate in 1944 was 94%.

There is also quite a bit of historical context that you are omitting. In 1913, without social security, common people in the US were impoverished in old age. The country had little infrastructure.

It's not as simple as "taxes only go up".
I don’t see how aspiring to be an unethical civilization with a fixed number of individuals is preferable to a civilization that grows and shrinks having pockets of ethical and unethical members.

If the argument is that somehow the former is more environmentally friendly, then I don’t understand why we should accept dystopia for an uncaring god.

> convincing parents to spend a little more to get their children an iPhone as their first phone

What do you mean here: I don't think makes things any safer for child _users_ of iPhones, does it? It's scanning for images of child sexual abuse.

(To anyone inclined to respond without reading the context, I'm not suggesting that there's no privacy concern if you're not sharing CP. I'm addressing OP's hypothetical that some parents will see owning an iPhone as safer for their child)
I just got a hold of my childhood 386SX (not the exact machine, the same model) and I’m working on slowly, but surely, getting it set up. So it’s fascinating to learn new things about it like this. Great piece.
> but if it truly is on device, it still technically can be E2EE

What do you think this software does when it finds a matching hash entry? Toss a notification to ask you nicely to pop round your nearest FBI office?

What meaning does 'end-to-end' have anymore if this applies? If Apple wrote software on-device to forward a copy of all messages prior to encryption to iCloud for 'backup', would it still be end-to-end? What if they sent it to an AdTech firm to index for interesting terms that match products you should be pitched? The software in this case is still Apple's, running on-device.

You did get the concept.

Fascinating, thank you! The graded tungsten particulate cloud idea is particularly clever.
Of those 61% that paid no taxes, I am willing to bet a vast majority of them will take more benefit out of Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid than they ever put it. Even looking at the total tax burden the US and states barely take anything from the lowest two quintiles.
Not sure that's all that meaningful though? I mean, the inflation rate is effectively an average of the increase in costs across a variety of goods. Either that average is non-representative of the actual increase in costs (so meaningless), or that average is representative, but still an average, in which case you would still expect outliers, both above and below the average inflation rate.

You would need the second derivative to be meaningful (and maybe that's what you mean), the percentage increase compared to the percentage increase in inflation (i.e., if in one year inflation is 2% and healthcare costs increase 4%, and the next year inflation is 2%, and healthcare costs are > 4%, and this trend continues, that would be concerning)
What you are doing there is conflating the lexing phase and the parsing phase. Regexes are perfect for recognizing tokens, but for a language with nested parentheses, you must have a push-down automaton to process it. Otherwise, you will not be able to verify that your delimiters are matched.

> more than _half of all Americans don't pay taxes_

I think the only Americans without a real tax burden are children. Even someone destitute who spends $5 on a fast food meal may pay taxes on it.

Taxation is a complex topic, and reducing it to statements like CNBC's headline is not very helpful.

You just complained about GP not liking something, insisted it was cool and fun just because you thought so, man the irony is astounding.

GP's comment was fun and cool, every time someone posts something like this, you have to come in and throw your 2 cents in. We all know how you feel about it by now, if you hate it that much don't click on the HN comments. just let it be!

Even if it had been in a blog, if it was interrupted with memes and meanders,it would be a bad article.

Thank you for this. This is often positioned as "paid no tax" and often people in these categories paid a very large percentage of their incomes in sales and other taxes.
No, solar wasn't one and the other's have radically increased in efficiency and decreased in price.
The low inflation in the US before income taxes were introduced falsifies the argument, no? No other currency was widespread in the US prior to income taxes. I still don't actually understand the argument, to be frank.
Immigration is generally considered a priviledge that can be restricted freely. Being able to live a normal life is a much more fundamental right.

It does have negative external effects, as you observe, in the sense of a viscious circle. But even a viscious circle, mathematically, has positive feedback, resulting initially in a positive exponent growing against time, not a negative exponent damping out in time.
Only worry if you have savings or are in any way financially responsible.
There are two different CSAM related features. One scans photos before they get uploaded to iCloud, other looks for indications of nudity and only works on minors' phones if their parents enabled this detection.
I just want to point out that this comment is completely irrelevant and ask other users not to be sidetracked by it.

The question upthread should be understood as saying "given that it's acceptable for the government to tax people (an assumption almost universally shared), why should it be okay for a Bitcoin user to cheat the government (and by proxy their fellow citizens) out of taxes on $300M of Bitcoin?"

I think that's a reasonable question.
You’re not even wrong.
How do people expect to-

A.) Keep it in place and not hit the star/black hole.

B.) Avoid it being demolished by intercepting every piece of space trash, comet, asteroid in a solar system?
This is probably because the top 10% earns almost half of income in America, the next 40% of America shares about 38% and the bottom HALF of Americans share less than 12% between them.

As far as wealth this bottom half also holds 2% of the net worth.

It should be unsurprising that people who have nothing aren't paying much.
My initial search for bounties didn't turn up that one, either. I wonder if my connection(s) with Erdos have polluted my search history, so it was showing me mostly those, and not showing me this.

Ordered a Yaris Hybrid in June.

Still no info on the order, except that the factory in France is on shutdown in August till the 23rd. Except:

> Until now, Toyota had managed to avoid doing the same, with the exception of extending summer shutdowns by a week in France

Which means it reopens in September...

> Toyota is to slash worldwide vehicle production by 40% in September because of the global microchip shortage.

Oh boy. Hopefully my order is in one of the first in the queue.
terms like thousandths of an inch are thrown around like it's nothing in machine shops, so I'd say pretty damn precise.
I personally find animated gifs on things like YouTube community posts visually distracting, as my eyes will continually move to look at what is moving. That's also why I turn off things like the moving tile images on the Windows start menu.
That makes perfect sense because taxation is theft and immoral.

It is therefore consistent that the moral basis for our unjust society is itself unjust.
Alright, let's write a comment about the actual implementation described in the post. So: why make the symbol table a linked list that has its head fixed at "main" and grows and shrinks at its tail? It is used in a stack-like fashion, so why not reverse the order: put "main" at its tail and grow and shrink it at its head?

That simplifies adding symbols: you keep checking for duplicates until the depth of the symbols you see drops below your depth, and actual insertion doesn't need the pointer to the list's last element, you insert at the head.

That simplifies destroying symbols: you keep popping the head until you meet a TOK_PROCEDURE at which point you stop.

That simplifies looking symbols up: you search until the first name match and return it immediately, instead of remembering the last seen matching symbol while traversing the full list.

I am not even talking about efficiency (although of course this implementation is also more efficient in all 3 use cases), it's about code simplicity: the less context you need to maintain during a list traversal, the easier it is to understand what this traversal looks for.
Docker Compose is designed for this.
That's fair enough, I was more referring to overall taxation in the economy creating a stable demand for the currency, it doesn't have to be levied on personal income specifically.

I see DVW discusses PLATO's multi-user games in the section "The Fifth Age", at least Orthanc and Oubliette pre-MUD1 (Essex MUD; 1978), saying "the interaction it allowed between characters was very limited; it was almost there, but not quite".

Were there other world games on PLATO in the 1970s?

What’s interesting about the 286/386 transition is: “Protected Mode” came about with the 286, but was still a 16 bit mode. (Random fact: the only way to return to “Real Mode” on a 286 was through a processor reset). The 386 changed Protected Mode into the 32 bit mode we know today. (And added the “Virtual 8086 Mode” for Real Mode programs)

> Taxes create civilization and they power most of the things we love about society... roads, infrastructure, retirement, keeping the environment protected, keeping food safe, keeping restaurants from giving us all rat poop, etc etc...

If those things are important, citizens would fund these with or without government coercion through violence. Keeping food and restaurants safe is a function of a free market -- nobody would buy from a business that routinely tries to poison their patrons. These arguments are old and they don't hold up.
