It is exactly one of the starting points of this uchrony, Civilizations from Laurent Binet (in french, i believe not translated to english), where native get sick during first venue of Vikings then when Colombus appears they just don't get sick at all + kill him and get to Portugal back on their boats and then travel in Europe, meet Luther, Erasme & Charles Quint, convert people to Sun god religion and create an Empire in Europe.
Good book btw
Right, most people are employees though. Germany has another problem though - getting a Steuerberater (tax advisor) to help you with the paperwork as a business owner is next to impossible.
Per this link, the BMW has more trunk space than the Model Y:

but it hardly matters, it's comes in 2nd to the Model 3/Y in every other category. If ugliness was a category, the ID.4 would certainly win that though!
Nhtsa Controversy with Tesla – Sandy Munro [video]
What is the difference between a taxi service and Uber?
I've always done my own (US) taxes but have been mulling hiring an accountant this year. But "doing" the taxes is the easy part with software. It's collecting all the needed information that is painful. Will I just be paying an accountant to use their software? Or is there a real difference in using software like Intuit's and a real accountant for individual returns? (I have investments, retirement funds, etc.).
Honestly, except for my wife (who has to know because of joint finances), I don't think I ever have. Nobody has ever asked me.
One thing about this article: their argument that it doesn't save time or money is taken from a very specific use case in which it doesn't save time or money: traveling from LAX to the author's house in Venice. As noted elsewhere in the thread, this is true because of specific usage and pricing restrictions at LAX, which are not true in most other cases.

Calling a cab to pick you up at your home and take you somewhere else in the city would be a more common use case to compare to, but likely would not support the author's claims, which is probably why they don't mention it.

The pollution claim may be more valid: I have no thoughts on that other than the speculation that, if rideshare vehicles are spending 40% of their time driving without passengers, I bet they're returning to places where they're expecting to get more lucrative calls. This seems like something Uber and Lyft could somewhat mitigate with their pricing or compensation structure, if they wanted to. So, a problem for sure, but not one that's inherent to ridesharing.

I also wonder why taxis wouldn't have the same problems. I recall reading that buses drive without passengers about 25% of the time, so it's not like this phenomenon is unique to rideshare. Based on common sense and observation, I would assume taxis are deadheading about as much as Lyft and Uber, but can find no citation for it.

Lastly, the fact that this article has links to supporting resources, but those links are disguised to look like unstyled body text, is really frustrating.
The confidence is pretty easy to calculate with Bayes rule. p(redLake|redFish)= p(redFish|redLake)*p(redLake)/p(redFish).

If you're doing multiple experiments, then you can say that p(redLake) is your belief and update it by multiplying by p(redFish|redLake)/p(redFish) every time you see a red fish, and its inverse whenever you see a grey fish.

If both of the lakes are 49-51, the update size is 0.51/0.50 = 1.02. Each red fish you see should increase your confidence in the red lake by 2% over whatever it was before, and vice versa.

Assuming your original assumption is 50-50: After you see one red fish, you can be 51% confident in the red lake. If you've seen 5 more red fish than grey, you can be 55% confident. If you've seen 10 more red fish than grey, you can be 60% confident. If you've seen 30 more red fish than grey, you can be 90% confident.

If the proportion of fish in each lake is more substantial, your bayesian update is larger and your confidence increases faster. If each lake is 90% one color, a single piece of evidence should give you 90% confidence.
> So I start asking questions, and slowly begin to realize that nobody in the room has any idea what they are talking about. That there are fundamental misunderstandings and misconceptions about existing systems. And, naturally, it turns out that the questions I have are questions that other people have.

I've had similar situations, it feels analogous to group based "rubber ducking"... having someone ask the questions perceived to be known or obvious by the existing groups can be extremely beneficial for all kinds of reasons, in the same way that a rubber duck (real or imagined) will get you to re-evaluate all of your assumptions and usually get you to find the assumption that's incorrect or problematic.
Schools should design the education to the needs of the individual. If a "tract" would benefit everyone then the education program should be changed for everyone.

The Simpsons episode however is more designed towards the social status aspect. If being in a gifted program grants status, without any connection to the education conducted within the program, all we are simply describing is moving kids into segregated groups of those that has money and power and those that doesn't. The actually program itself has no meaning and could as easily be renamed as the rich people club (private schools?) with the same education material and program as everyone else.

When it comes to people on the lower end of the IQ spectrum, we do see that a single test would not work to determine which tract a student should follow. A failing test could be a sign of low IQ where the student need to be at a school for children with special needs, or it could just be a temporary setback where the regular program is perfectly suitable. In border cases there would basically be an extended period of testing and trial attempts to see which one would be best suited to the individual.

In theory the same process should be on the higher end of the IQ spectrum. If you got a border case where a individual is just slightly above or below the qualifications for a gifted program then what would be best for the individual would be to extended the testing phase and see where they develop best.
That's emotional level, not structural. When software supervenes on data and code, data and code supervenes on bytes, bytes supervene on bits, bits supervene on transistors, transistors supervene on electrons, electrons supervene on the field.

Articles are written after the conclusion was already reached. In the moment you don’t know who’s behind the attack just that you can’t tell if ICBM’s are incoming to the US and the attack seems to be coming from a country we are literately preparing to go to war with.

It’s that moment the options are to successfully hack the machine, do nothing and hope no physical attack is incoming, try and penetrate serious air defenses with conventional aircraft, or use an ICBM. I don’t mean to suggest people where requesting authorization from the president for a nuclear strike, just that it was considered which is a serious escalation for a cyber attack.

As to the articles, you will note Iraq is mentioned many times by military officials even the attacks originated from teens in the US and Israel. Some of that’s timing, but the other part is as I said the machine happened to be located in Baghdad. Also, the press briefing before they arrested the teens shows just how serious this was being taken. It really wasn’t business as usual.

I didn't know they charged money from app creators to be hosted. I thought they just made their money on hardware!

All roku had to do was build some quality hardware and a decent streaming UI. The only thing that would take money to maintain from a server perspective should be the update servers and software servers.

I saw them as one of the few dedicated streaming devices (next to Shield) for being "provider neutral" - that is, not apple and not Google.

I'm someone who doesn't understand monads, and the tutorial basically lost me at "Just what is a Functor, really? Functor is a typeclass. Here's the definition"

Where typeclass links to this other massive tutorial and then my eyes started to glaze over.

(Side note, this is probably the 50th or so Monad tutorial I've read and I still don't understand them. For context, I've been programming professionally for nearly 20 years now. My only conclusion at this point is either Monads aren't actually that important, or I actually do understand some useful subset of what Monads are and I just don't know it, and I just never had a need to use them "fully".)

Edited to add: I think my problem with Monad tutorials is that they all tend to explain the concepts using Haskell, and I can't read Haskell. It syntax is utterly impenetrable to me and I have no idea what any of the silly symbols mean. And any tutorial that tries to teach Monads using other languages ultimately feels like it's teaching me something I don't need to know... (how to do side effects in a pure functional language, when I don't code in pure functional languages and likely never will.)
Who do I give my money to? If I give my money to <company X> for something, and that something is wrong in some way, then it is the responsibility of <company X> to resolve the problem. Period, full stop. If <company Y> is actually at fault, then <company X> is responsible for dealing with <company Y> to resolve the situation.
The problem with twitter threads isn't that they're broken up into chunks, it's still relatively easy to read. The problem is what a cancerous, user hostile, and bloated website twitter is that won't even let you open the pictures without logging in. Nitter or threader fix this but at the point you're switching to a different website, why not just make it a blog.
It reduces the spread, and greatly reduces the risk of death and hospitalization. It's not 100% effective, and that's never been the point. It's not like the "natural method" is 100% effective at preventing infection, either.
I love the concept of editions. I haven't anything like it in other languages. Having the ability to have one project made up of crates of many different editions is brilliant. It makes breaking language changes that would otherwise be a nonstarter become minor and easy to manage. Love it
I've always wanted a "friending" site. Basically a dating site, but to make friends.

I work from home, have a couple of online friends that share the same interests as me, but none of my real-world friends do.

I tried a couple of these apps, but I always felt the "friend" had ulterior motives. One friend I connected to, tried to sell me on investments, another I'm fairly certain was trying to hook up as if this were Tinder and not a professionals networking app (same swiping mechanic though)

Maybe it is impossible.
The one and only time I used a "professional" tax preparer, I sat in their office and answered the questions they read off their "TurboTax for professionals" software.

Foreign Income Earned Credit. Basically since the US is one of two countries in the world to still collect taxes from people living abroad, you have to file taxes every year still but it usually amounts to a net of $0.00 as it's written off under double-tax agreements with Germany.

Yes, thank you for writing this. Twitter threads are really annoying. A good well thought long form article is so much better from all points of view.
YouTube is hiding comments mentioning “OpenStreetMap”
the article mentioned Uber and Lyfts' effect on the taxi monopoly near the end:

"On Sunday, I decided to forego the long wait for a Lyft and the absurdly high congestion pricing. I hopped into a cab and was home in 15 minutes. The tab: $34.69.

The driver asked me for cash, of course.

But when I brandished my credit card, he did not utter a peep of protest. Maybe — just maybe — I have Uber and Lyft to thank for that."
It's hard to get into peoples' heads, but in my experience, I've known people who were into conspiracy X, but did not want to admit that they believe in conspiracy X at first, so they told their friends that they were just joking, being edgy or learning more about it, etc.

After a while, they just grow tired of keeping up appearances, or maybe a famous person talks about conspiracy X, so they are no longer embarrassed by their belief, etc.
I did support when I was in my late teens and I ALWAYS started at the very bottom, with the questions that seemed obvious, and worked my way up. Most callers thought it was annoying, so I would often prepare them for the silly simple stuff I was about to ask and ask them to humor me. It was especially painful if I was the 3rd person they had talked to.

I guess I still work this way although I've fallen out of the habit of warning people and asking them to humor me.

A couple of drawbacks I never see mentioned in these discussions:

* When you know more languages and you are faced with problems whose solutions are trivial to express in one of them, but you are forced to use another it is extremely frustrating.

* Trying to use a particular style/paradigm from a language in another one will raise a lot of eyebrows followed by "this is terrible code".

So to me, learning more languages just leads to frustration. I can't use them at work. I can't even use their style.
So since my early days I've been doing multiple languages, started in Java at school then picked up JavaScript and Ruby pretty quickly, as well as being a bash Unix cli afficiando, since then my list of languages numbers in the double digits.

One of the things I am always astounded by is developers that only know one language, having multiple languages has changed the way I understand programming in general. At that point when I approach a problem I start by reasoning what the appropriate paradiagm or approach is to solve the problem and then decide the language from that. At this point when I see requirements that list X years in specific language I am confused as to why people don't just want programmers since languages seem so easy to pickup.

Their is a dark side to this I will admit though I do struggle a little bit more approaching a new language and then trying to find ways around concepts that I feel should be there, or I struggle sometimes to deal with language specific details.

I'm not sure what you'd want to change, honestly. The regulations are, presumably, there for a reason, and shouldn't have a "but if you're Elon Musk, that's okay" get-out clause.
Indeed, they have always been quiet, but it makes wind noise more noticeable not having any engine noise.

One big change is from switching the regular glass with thicker "acoustic" glass that's better at damping the wind noise. Also some changes where the glass meets on the roof and the model Y has larger roof glass so less seams.
Yeah, that's most people, I think.

We're fine with getting rid of the time shift, but if we're going to do that, it makes more sense that the back half of the day have sunlight for longer. People need to do things and kids need to play. Most folks aren't going to work to plow fields anymore.
Have you tried to explain them to somebody learning to program?

Explaining things to people that already knows them is always easy.
Kids don’t mind listening to someone speaking a new language or reading them a story they can’t understand, and they don’t mind trying to communicate, but if you put them on the spot by asking them to do some kind of formal lesson, they freak out just like anyone else.

The most important thing I have found when trying to teach kids [and probably most other people too] is (1) break tasks into very small steps, (2) make the lesson as low-pressure and fun as possible.
Really excited for the reserved prefixes. Lots of possibilities there. I'm really rooting for f-strings to stream line format! calls.

I still believe in proportional compensation based on effort eg. a doctor otherwise why try.

You're right, they are now at the same point in terms of ease of development. Deployment is close too (fat jar vs php files), though PHP still has shared hosting. And sure, Spring boot has more things that vanilla PHP.
>That there are fundamental misunderstandings and misconceptions about existing systems.

Wait till you see the fundamental misunderstandings and misconceptions of established 'science'. It will pale in comparison with anything you have seen before.
I think you are overstating your case, and I question the motivations for doing so. The vast majority of people with either the 2R or 3R allele have not committed any criminal acts, and in fact the 3R allele is heavily associated to the type of risk taking behavior that is often rewarded in society. There may be a correlation between those who end up committing criminal acts and their gene expression, but it alone is not a causative factor and it's completely unsupported by evidence to make such a claim. Stronger causative factors are environmental, such as poverty, which has a direct causative relationship with criminal behavior.
Smart (in my book) is someone that knows how to navigate this world in order to achieve ones goals.

If you don't care how you're perceived, that's fine. However, you'll be missing out on many opportunities because reputation matters.
This is insanely impressive. Having tried set up GPU passthrough in proxmox a few years ago, it was an absolute disaster. I would love to see this kind of approach more widely supported by other hypervisors!

> and defer

Which “defer”? The go panic/defer pair is, while structured differently, functionally equivalent to exceptions.
Yes, saw that too. Functionality is really limited. It's basically a Wikipedia command line parser. For instance, "current weather in Los Angeles" brings up nothing. "Current president of the USA" brings up nothing. But 2020 World Series Champion brings up a Wikipedia style summary.
I can see the pros and cons of anonymity. However, personally I would delete a lot of my social media accounts if they forced me to disclose my identity. The case of Monika at Stackoverflow suggest you have to be really careful when using your full name, even on reputable sites. Data miners would also absolutely love it and governments are powerless to act on abuse as many of these companies are outside an enforceable jurisdiction.
I mean, saying it impacts hardware you purchased is a stretch. You can just as easily plug in an Android TV box, or an Amazon fire stick, or any number of other products with different interfaces.

Google doesn't "control" the hardware you own, Roku does. Nobody forces people to buy a TV with Roku preinstalled; anyone who did this has consented to having their hardware limited/controlled by Roku.

This isn't to absolve Google, as their behavior is also anticompetitive and generally shady. But saying that Google is the one impacting your hardware is letting Roku off the hook for the part they play in effectively owning your hardware.
It is far more difficult to get thousands of businesses to coordinate on a fundamental cultural shift to a 10a-6p working day, than to just not change clocks back after switching to DST one last time.
