I mean even if the company grew 10x, it'd have to pay 10x to buy back its shares, so it wouldn't be profiting, right?

If I'm understanding this correctly, there are 2 things I'm taking away from this:

1. Cyclic ownerships should be illegal.

2. The investors (i.e. the public, for a public company) are getting scammed here. But it's not because of tax avoidance, but because company valuations (and therefore share prices) are just utterly meaningless, and people are... too oblivious to this? I mean, a "growth" in valuation would (to me) be coupled to increase in the company's net assets. So if company 1 sells a lot of its product and its valuation rises... that means it's gaining assets somewhere. Either that increase in assets is due to sales revenue at home (in which case it'd be getting taxed normally) or it's the stake it has in company 2, and presumably company 2's valuation is growing. But company 2's valuation is just coupled to company 1's, so there's no logical reason for it to rise independently. If it does, and the company is getting rich that way, that just means to me that people are behaving irrationally and paying more for the same thing, and that's what's making companies richer (rather than tax avoidance)? Alternatively if you look at it as company 2 having revenue and thus company 1's stake increasing in value, wouldn't there be an eventual tax on that money before any person can realize it at home, and thus shouldn't that correct the stock price downward? Or am I completely misunderstanding something here?

Edit: I think I'm seeing one way this works: the stock price does get corrected downward, but not enough to cancel out the growth, since the offshore company did gain material assets. But then who (as in which person) is getting rich without paying taxes at home, exactly? Either C1's shareholders are selling long-term capital gains taxes (in which case the complaint is about long-term capital gains taxes) or they're doing it short-term (in which case they're still paying income-equivalent taxes). Who's avoiding taxes here?
"the cons are mostly your employers"

I'm not sure I would even agree with this. I have a better monitor setup at home, a quieter place to work and think, and I'm spending less of my day in pointless conversations for the sake of politeness.

My employer simply gets more out of me when I work from home AND turnover is reduced.

I think the pros outweigh the cons for employers, even if they don't care at all about their employees and even if we weren't in a tight labor market
"MVC" is not an idiomatic pattern in Go.
I would even claim DLL didn't really exist anymore in 2006. I remember it from the late 90s, but haven't encountered it in the last 15 years. Fortunately, people have learned their lessons.
I think if I’m on record I’m recording the conversation and the reporter should do the same. The highest standard would be to provide all on the record statements in recorded audio so we can confirm the reporter didn’t misremember to make the story juicier…
Interception against an actively manoeuvring target is a question of kinetic energy. If the intecepting missile is smaller all the hypersonic missile has to do is zig-zagging randomly and you're toast.

If you're going to wait for the hypersonic missile to be close enough that this isn't a problem, you have the issue that your missile won't be able to manoeuvre right and might still be building up velocity. Plus there won't only be one!

> the interceptor might also allow for active cooling of the IR window in that brief period.

The issue isn't the IR window, it's the air directly in front of the interceptor missile, which has to target from the frontal aspect.

>Also, even detection from a fixed ground base (or from space - see SpaceX's newest missile detection project) is still detection in the first place, which is what I was commenting on. Wasn't even going to veer into interceptor guidance, but I'm sure there's multiple ways to do it.

Detection is not enough. We can already detect missiles from satellites even. The issue is calculating their velocity accurately and locating them at +- 10m from 100km+ away is not feasible without really large apertures and pretty long focal lengths. You wouldn't be able to accurately track more missiles than you have optics and the optics would be mind-boggingly expensive. Besides that, the target acquisition radar to maintain a feasible or even physically possible relative aperture for target acquisition would be unable to resolve any detail about the missile, so it would have no way of telling the difference between a missile and a flare of the same brightness and color.

I see, I do not know much about the internal workings of Wayland. The problem I do see though is that screen recording is an essential feature that has been neglected for years due to the lack of a standard.

> This is a really bad idea, don't do this.

While I agree that getting window positions may be questionable, providing a human readable title for the streams that have been selected seems obvious, yet is missing.

> syncing issues with window sizes being reported incorrectly

This seems rather theoretical to me, while of course true, I doubt it is going to matter in practice.

> It's also a misuse of the screencasting API.

Hmm, do you think there is a better solution, that isn't giving up and having each desktop environment do its own thing?

> If you want to do this right now then you'll have to integrate with the specifics of the window manager or shell. There is no way around it, I really doubt you will get much interest in doing it another way.

This is also my conclusion, alas it's not happening and one of the reasons why I think Wayland is not quite there yet.
Back in the day -- like way, way back before Adobe Illustrator -- the go-to vector illustration program for professional workflows was Zenographics Mirage. Mirage ran bit-identical across platforms including the VAX and PC -- because it was based on a virtual machine. Its constituent applications (called Chart, Ego, and Autumn) were implemented in terms of this machine. I found this out by examining some example scripts; beneath a "you are not required to understand this" type comment in one of the scripts were commands in Mirage's scripting language that consisted of the word "do" followed by some integers.

Using both these scripts and the included "Op Code Monitor", which flashed opcodes and their meanings as they were executed, I partially reverse engineered these bytecodes and used them to add new Mirage commands. One of them was a rectangle command for Ego that drew polylines instead of rectangle objects, so the rectangles could be rotated.
Wow. This sounds like I can download a synth now!

> the work from home obsession is the “open office space” debate of our generation.

There is not much of a debate, open offices are hated by knowledge workers and pushed by managers and accountants for cost reasons. I get the same feeling from those pushing back to office policies, they want control of employees under the guise of sparking ‘water cooler talk’.
> The median voter is not a highly competitive white collar knowledge worker with a background in STEM necessary to evaluate complex topics with objectivity

I'm more scared about highly competitive knowledge people with STEM degrees making political decisions. They might be naive enough to think they can engineer society to fit their whims with no unintended consequences.
Never ran it on Firefox before. Its because I am using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/OffscreenCa... which is only supported by chromium. Fixed it, should work in few minutes
Pre-pandemic, I worked remotely, but rarely from home. In normal times, nothing is forcing you to work from home in particular if you're working remotely.

Ukraine indeed had a lot of manufacturing and design of nuclear weapons. Even then the control, launch and timings were all centralized in Moscow. They would have had to reverse engineer and hack a lot of it amidst attacks from Russia and perhaps even the US.
Only if you're coming to open source with the mindset of a taker rather than a giver. Nevertheless there are open source implementations of x86 architecture. I've written one. Bochs and QEmu have written another. If you feel that it must be implemented in hardware to count then a director at oracle actually wrote a verilog implementation of 80186 a few years ago.
I should have specified that my commute is a train ride. Taking the train somewhere for no reason and back again wouldn't be particularly relaxing. But if you have to take the train (and you're fortunate enough to get a seat like I can) then you do find ways to make the most of that commute.

But the real point I'm trying to make isn't that everyone should commute. No. What I'm saying is I'm as entitled to enjoy my commute to work as you are to enjoy working from home. A good company will offer flexibility rather than applying the same rule to everyone universally.
Totally agree. I've been getting up to speed just fine at my new and (at least for now) fully remote job.

If you're struggling to fill the gaps or onboard people at a certain point you have to admit to either managerial or organizational failure to adapt. It's called taking responsibility
You're right, I didn't answer the question of "who should maintain that stuff?". I was imagining something like libraries in JS or Rust, where people pin the dependencies of their libraries, so with this, you can build a graph of dependencies. I guess I have a very "github" centric vision of things and that most software isn't built this way, which would complicate things.
Oh come on. SR-71 was a complex military aircraft. Maybe it was not as complex as the space shuttle. Certainly much more complex than an F-16.

> and the cons are mostly your employers.

This sounds like nonsense to me.

If there are cons to the employer, that means I'm worth less and can demand less salary - the market might take a bit to adjust for that, but probably not long. It means that I'm going to be working for a less successful company, which is a lot less fun.

Employers and employees are usually in a mostly cooperative relationship, this adversarial view of it just strikes me as wrong.

(And no, before someone accuses me of being biased, I do not and have never run a company or anything like that)
I don't think the pay bump will be enough to offset the higher cost of living. Generally, expensive areas are expensive due to better infrastructure, more options for entertainment, outdoor, sea, etc. Many will take lower if to have access to these things, if all else is equal.
Just stop meddling with the economy and it'll work perfectly. Soviet Union had the world's smartest economists trying to control their economy, and probably wrote smart scientific articles with all kinds of complex mathematics trying to prove each other wrong.

To me it seems obvious that laissez-faire economy would just stabilize itself in the most optimal way. I don't know if the economists actually know this, but can't do it because of politics or their own benefit.
If you build against, say, RHEL5, you presumably acquire vulnerabilities in relevant libraries, give up hardware support, and still can't guarantee it will run correctly. That's at least because Linux interfaces aren't stable in general, specifically the pseudo-filesystem ones, thinking of real examples.
For those who are worried that they’ll miss the commute, you should consider ending the work day with exercise. You still get the alone/unplugged time but combined with endorphins and a general feeling of wellness. And it’s way better for you than sitting in a car!
Have you tried to buy a GPU lately?
I appreciate that despite feeling that way about your own circumstances, you still support wfh for others.
I often warn people that, no matter how off-the-scale obviously ridiculous you think your absurd, satirical jest may be, there will, not maybe, not probably, but will definitely be, somewhere, someone who takes you literally.
"Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you keep it a secret!"

I sorta suspect that this is more about the fact that the US knows this isn't a secret to China and Russia, so they're using it as an opportunity to brag domestically and get more funding.
T-14 is ready for mass production, it's just too expensive for the broke Russian government to buy enough of them.

3M22 unlike Su-57 has actually achieved it's goals. It has already been fired from ships and hit targets while achieving it's speed and altitude goals. Su-57 has not been able to achieve it's goals of being stealthy or being reliable so there is no reason it would be readied for mass production.
"work perfectly" and "optimal" aren't objective states, they are opinions.
I'm not slandering beautiful people at all, I'm just slandering people who aspire to little more than being one of them. And that's my story and I'm sticking to it. The only thing worse is people catering to that urge. But I guess it's a market opportunity and that's how capitalism works, no?

As for genetic diversity, sure we need genetic diversity, but we also no longer need the gene that fights malaria in the heterozygous case but gives you sickle cell anemia in the homozygous case because we have treatment for malaria now. Lather rinse repeat for a whole bunch of genetic ailments that will eventually get filtered out of the genome by evolution because they no longer serve their purpose so what's your problem with us accelerating the schedule? Or do you see value in the BRCA gene for your unconceived potential daughter for some reason?

There's definitely a moral hazard beyond that and I admitted as much but there's plenty of runway before we get there. But also if we really need to reintroduce these genes down the road we have the technology to do so.

Yeah, three times.

The first time it was my boss in a very small company (8 people total)
After trying to work it out with her, receiving an apology, but then going back to the same attitude, I went to the company owner, and we arranged a way to work 100% separately. I left a few months after.

Second time it was a high level person in a big company, similar to your case. I tried to stay out of their way, then I transferred inside the company but far away.

Third time it wasnt my boss, it was the boss for a contractor. He continuously mistreated his employees, yelled to them, and they were mostly young people around 20 years old in their first job. I tried to get all of them jobs elsewhere and mostly succeeded, I also don't really talk to him unless needed and actively ignore him.

So: going over their head or GTFO
The first thing I always do with these E-Ink projects is to check the price of the display, to see if it's come down at all since the last time I checked over the last 3+ years:

NOPE
Inflation is a general rise in prices, not a rise in the price of one or a few goods. In order for prices to rise generally, there has to be an increase in the money supply relative to the goods and services it represents.
This is an important detail. A huge proportion of those in the US are going to be commuting by car (which is really unpleasant for me personally), or paying a lot of money to live somewhere with good transit options.
I commute by train. I'm lucky enough to be guaranteed a seat. And it is a very comfortable ride. That time can be spent meditating with my favourite music playing in my earphones. There isn't a rats chance in hell I'd get that same quality time at home with two noisy kids running rampant throughout the house.

Have you considered that perhaps people making comments like mine are not shills, they just have different personal circumstances that you hadn't encountered before?
that's one of the reasons why this guy wants to import 700 million new voters.
Yeah, it's not the same but a bit similar: increasing amount of cars, increasing amount bicycles, both have to be dealt with, with proper infrastructure etc. Copenhagen is very advanced in that regard, in many ways, and it's great to see that those lessons can be learned elsewhere.

Proper routing for the large amount of bicycles with designated lanes for turning and waiting for traffic lights etc...
I feel the opposite and would gladly go back to the office.

It’s hard to keep working after five when the kids are home and making their usual racket. But it’s also hard to disconnect because the line between work and home is nonexistent.

The free breakfast and lunch at the office were much better than anything I can make or buy myself. Talking to random coworkers during the breaks made me feel more like part of something.

I didn’t even mind the “standing in a packed subway car” part that much. That’s just city life; I want more of it again.
I was going to say, I feel like an ESP32 might be a better fit for this, given that it’s designed for deep sleep.
Right, the article is garbage. The paper is in an open-access journal. You can just go read it.
A handy tip I got from a citrus grower is to feel the leaf. If it feels cool the plant is transpiring and has enough water, otherwise give it a bit of water. Too much water and too little water both can look the same and plants wilt.
I think this problem comes down to two core issues: discoverability and terminology.

You're going to be lucky if a paper from the 70s or 80s is available in a searchable database at all. That means someone bothered to scan it in, and OCR it since then. Even for the few papers that are searchable, they are old enough that they probably won't catch anyone's eye unless they are desperate.

Of course then there's also the problem of knowing what to search for. Programmers love to invent, reinvent, and re-reinvent terminology. It's only gotten worse with every other developer running a blog trying to explain complex ideas in simple terms.

The entire field of ML is a perfect example of this. I remember talking to my father about all sorts of new developments in ML back in the early 2010s, and I was quite surprised when he told me that he learned a lot of the things I was talking about back in the 80s just named a bit differently.

In most cases it ends up being a question of how much time you can put into any given problem. If I spend two weeks to find a paper that would have taken me a week to reinvent, then am I really ahead? If the knowledge wasn't important to enough make it into textbooks/classes/common knowledge then attempting to find it is akin to searching for a particular needle in a pile of needles.
I would love to build something like this but the price of these screens is insane :(
U.S. inflation rises sharply again in August and stays at 30-year high
> I find the commute far more effective for unwinding to be honest. And once I'm home, I'm far more engaged with the family due to having that buffer time between work and home.

I’ve found myself taking the car for a quick drive downtown where the grid locks, after I finish working from home. Can’t wait for it to be mandatory again!
I never thought that Australia having a car industry as a utility. When something is not economically viable, unless the government want to run it for social benefit at a loss rather than a for-profit cost center, then it's never going to be able to sustain itself over the long run
It’s really not about STEM vs cook. Voters are stuck compressing a huge range of choices into a single vote which creates horrific incentives for politicians. You can piss off huge swaths of the population as long as you can just squeeze through enough voters it doesn’t matter. Toss in a little inequality in how much each vote counts and things get much much worse.

Consider what would happen if rather than voting for your favorite you subtracted points from the candidate you dislike the most. It’s not better but suddenly everyone wants to be an inoffensive centrist. Which just shows how much incentives influence the system.
Exactly. Carbon is optimally priced. Obviously.

I actually think city dwellers are entitled to not have a horde of office workers invade every day and demand roads and parking spaces be built for their utterly superfluous unwinding commute.

They call it congestion charge but it's more your suburban commuting habit is making everyone that actually lives here miserable.
> There is not much of a debate, open offices are hated by knowledge workers and pushed by managers and accountants for cost reasons. I get the same feeling from those pushing back to office policies, they want control of employees under the guise of sparking ‘water cooler talk’.

The return to offices is also pushed for cost reasons. Employers made billions of dollars in investments in commercial real estate, signed multiyear leases, and have executives, board members and shareholders that are invested in commercial real estate, as well.
First of all, you can spend money on things outside your home country (second/nth house, buying a new yacht, etc.) and depending on how those are structured you can avoid that being taxable income. If someone takes a direct distribution or benefit in their country of residence and domicile then yes, those are definitely taxable events and careful tax avoiders pay their tax on these transactions.

Second your intuition is correct, often people do break the law at this point, it's just very hard to detect without files like this which is why the previous Panama/Paradise leaks have led to so many prosecutions and tax recovery actions. They made clear what otherwise was secret.

A common tactic is using the funds to buy property in which you then live as a tenant. In most countries (certainly in the UK) tenancy contracts are purely bilateral and non-public. There is no way for the government to know whether you are:

1) living in a property owned by a third party ownership company that you genuinely have no links to - btw many rich people do this for at least some of their homes so it's not like its an inherently suspicious activity. You can rent whole houses in central London for 10s of thousands a week.

2) living in a property owned by a company of which you are secretly the beneficial owner and paying market rent (to yourself). This may be allowed under some very carefully structured circumstances but usually not.

3) Like 2 but not actually paying rent. Definitely not allowed.

Technically they could find the difference between 2 and 3 if they audited your outgoings but they would first have to have a reason to even start doing that. It's not like you can take a tax deduction for rent, so this doesn't even show up on your taxes, they would literally have to pull your bank records to look for the expected outgoing rent. Telling the difference between (1) and (2) is impossible without the secret ownership information.

Another favourite is to use offshore accounts to buy things like jewellery, clothes, furniture, almost anything that isn't registrable property (i.e. anything other than real estate or vehicles). That is certainly illegal since you're taking a benefit which should be counted as income and taxed but good luck proving that.
