It's up to you to the both parties to ensure that the payment is marked correctly. And services like Paypal already have a reason to kick people off who aren't choosing the right transaction type. Paypal doesn't take a fee from friends & family and other gift payments, so it's already in their best interest to find who's abusing it. Also I can't imagine the platform would be liable if they are not the direct cause of misreported transactions.
Agreed that Eurorack or modular synthesis isn't something that I would recommend for a beginner. Also agree that a Eurorack system _could_ be an overly expensive version of an existing fixed-architecture synthesizer.

Eurorack's potential, however, is a way to explore synthesis after you've learned the basics. It can be a very open playground to try synthesis ideas that may not be possible on a fixed-architecture system.

To lower the costs of Eurorack, one could buy modules from the used market or the DIY method and build from kits if they have experience with electronics. The DIY path may also lead one to designing and building original Eurorack modules. Learn about synthesis and electronics at the same time!

As the above post mentioned, VCV Rack which is a software emulation of Eurorack is a free way to see if modular synthesis is something that appeals. Other free software near-alternatives are Pure Data (https://puredata.info/) (sibling of the commercially available Max/MSP), Bespoke (https://www.bespokesynth.com/), and SunVox (https://warmplace.ru/soft/sunvox/).

Are you sure everything that Activision / Blizzard publishes will be on GamePass day one?
I'm probably not paying some taxes right now that I'm legally required to pay. But it's not because I'm trying to cheat the system. I just really don't understand it. I've been involved in a total of one tax problem, and it was a nightmare. It stemmed from me submitting a form to the IRS that I evidently should not have. I would have been much better off if I literally filed and submitted nothing, and just waited for to receive the formal nasty-gram. So the hassle is in having a transaction recorded in a system that's going to create problems for me. I mean, if I had on oracle that could tell me what taxes I actually owed, I would just pay it with no problem. In fact, I would pay for that oracle. But as it stands, it's all too confusing. Cash seems safer.

bottom line: Intel's edge is an technical debt.

Intel's own tools/process used to give them an edge over everyone else during the early years in the semis industry. Overtime, tool suppliers have catch up with Intel and Intel is falling behind due to their own tools delay/insufficient.

Intel's own tools is losing out to commodity and standardized tools

This problem is not specific to Intel. Many chips are not using the smallest node sizes and old fabs get a second life producing those chips instead of CPUs. That could soon be the future for Intel fabs.

How is it different in this case? Any Etsy shop can also configure into an LLC and do the necessary accounting to reduce their tax burden. If you don’t want to do that an Etsy shop is just a weird job, and you pay income tax on jobs.

I think it'll be another huge blow if Windows users with laptops move almost entirely to ARM over the next 3-5 years. While Intel may have an absolute performance advantage in the desktop and server arena, most Windows users these days are using laptops, where ARM's energy efficiency matters more.
What I dislike about these attempts is that you will just end up with yet another CRDT implementation that is incompatible with the existing ecosystem (editors, drawing apps, state management, ...).

That's incorrect. The will of the people cannot necessarily be expressed when it has to be channeled through exactly two parties. The fact of there being two parties is dictated by the first past the post system.

More detailed explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7tWHJfhiyo (this is the famous CCP Grey video with the animals, for those who have already seen it).

Also, even if it WERE the will of the people, it's still wrong, and immoral.

Democracy is only as good as the demos is moral. I judge the American demos to be insufficiently honest and thus insufficiently moral. Basically, each half of the country thinks that about the other half; I simply agree with both sides.
Government, health organizations such as CDC & WHO and "authoritative" news sources.

They may want to promote the vaccines because they are good, and they want the pandemic to be over right?* The question is whether they are doing it honestly or not. I think not. They decided that there is a conclusion that they want people to reach, and they are willing to go as far as obstructing facts to make you reach that.

* they may have additional reasons related to conflicts of interest, corruption, etc.
Uh, I wouldn't be posting about that online... that is not allowed under OFAC rules and the taxes would be the least of your concern if the government investigated.
Virtono Web Hosting Review
Virtono is a fairly new web hosting provider headquartered in Romania. They started their operations from all the way back in 2012. Initially, they only had servers in Romania but since 2014, they have been increasing their data centers and now they provide their services in a lot of countries. They provide a lot of different web hosting services such as managed hosting, CPanel hosting, bare metal servers, VPS and many more.
Yes, but not only that, I want a folder for each commit, with all the files inside it, including a .commitmsg file with each log message. Thus "git log" could be implemented as

cat `find . | grep commitmsg`

More interestingly, it would be able to grep around all previous versions of the files.
Not only that. You can use a ground-based fixed station to listen to GPS signals and work out how much they have been affected by the atmosphere. This then gets fed back into the weather prediction models used by many weather forecasting services.
I'm curious about the Value prop for an FEL. I bought a bobcat T590 last year because it had a lot of capacity - both PTO power and absolute ability to lift. It isn't good for turf, but I can pick up a 4000lb pallet. FELs all seemed to max out at ~1000 lbs for the same footprint.

is the bucket really just not the use case for a FEL anymore?

No, the employer that fired them was the judge.
People find this to be unfair because it will increase the tax burden on the "mom and pop" business tier while larger businesses continue to (legally) evade taxation.

If we stop taxing businesses we could simplify the tax code and outright remove the entire capital gains category. We will never win this game of cat and mouse. The more we try, the more the burden will move down the economic ladder.
You're right and I apologize. I replied to you hastily.
Ask HN: Do you hike prices often as a freelancer?
I try to keep my prices the same every year for my clients, as they expect to pay a certain amount each year for their website. I don't want to shock them with a fee hike, as it comes across as snakey and mean.

But with inflation, rising costs of fuel, and everything getting a little bit pricier these days, I simply have to hike my prices, because of the economy.

How do you feel about hiking prices? Is it worth (potentially) getting your reputation damaged?
Because they knew no one would read it. There's a lot more in there and the infrastructure bill too. Like a remote kill switch for vehicles to be used by law enforcement in the infrastructure bill.

Metaphors don't work here. Real browser pages have code which could conceivably have EULAs, plus you may be in a EULA for a paid service, you have cookie agreements involved (and a similar question could be raised, is your browser obligated to return cookies once given?), the page may also already be interactive (if modifying a page is stipulated to be wrong, what about browser automation driving something "intended" to be manual process? There are contracts the page provider has with their advertisers. Things other than the end-user or page provider may already have had their fingers in the pie (ISPs blocking specific pages, even replacing ads with their own in the network). There's a lot of parties involved in a modern page with all sorts of relationships to each other. There's also a scale here; it's one thing to modify your own copy of a book but if you provide a service that modifies other people's copies (computer style, with virtually no effort in a fraction of a second), how is that different from publishing a modified copy? What impact do those differences have on the question?

All of these things are important and none translate into the book, or any other simple physical metaphor.

My summary answer would be that the status of ad blocking legally is deeply unclear if you really start analyzing it, in all sorts of ways, in ways that different legal jurisdictions will almost certainly rule differently on for all the different individual questions, and almost certainly with no coherence between the individual rulings.
I guess I just habitually make things more specific incase i need to overwrite them. This was really fun. Thanks for making it :)
Imagine what could have been if Intel wouldn't have sold XScale back in 2006 and kept focusing on ARM
Slowly approaching the point of being... well, let's call it "mature" ;) ... I'd like to offer a slightly different perspective.

When you're young, constantly focusing on your deathbed is frankly a waste of time. Focus on your friends. Focus on having experiences that make great stories to share with your friends. Enjoy life.

Don't worry, as you age, you'll certainly focus on mortality. But I'm firmly convinced that having a full, joyous life always trumps striving for doing things you'll recall on your deathbed. Once I get there, if I feel loved, that will be enough.

He's full of it. I do have a background in farming.

Case, and Deere go head to head in almost every market. New Holland and a couple others also play in the same markets depending on what KIND of machine you're looking to run. Tillage tractors are pretty much fendt/challenger, NH, deere, case. When you get into combines/coppers other brands also play. For the consumer and/or smaller tractor market there's all sorts of options.

Why people go deere or case is simple. It's the supply chains. You have N days to get your crop in the ground, and Y days to get your crop harvested. Deere and case have the best(and most expensive) field techs and dealer support. "A machine is only as good as your dealer support" is the phase almost everyone uses when shopping for equipment. Anyone with a significant investment of tractors(non-hobby farmers) can have a case or deere tech replace or fix damn near anything in hours or days, on site.

The natural expression of the DOP matrix is 4x4, since the receiver is computing a solution in 4D space-time. Its pretty common for the dominant eigenvector to be along the time-vertical axis for a terrestrial receiver.
The problem is that tax avoidance is an economy of scale - it's easier to avoid taxes the bigger your revenue stream is, and as such follow the letter of the tax law while completely subverting the spirit of it (whereas the gap between those is far narrower for small players without a multinational presence, multiple subsidiaries, etc). The flexibility goes up, and the legal cost of doing so (which has a fixed lower bound) becomes a proportionally smaller part of your costs and has a higher ROI.
That started before this but it is how they will classify it. It was already against the terms of service to do that (albeit quite common on a small scale) as it prevented the processing fee from being charged.
The downside is that a PostgreSQL version update can change internal optimizer rules, which may result in the plan being changed to a less performant one again.

In that case it's good to have monitoring in place to catch something like that. We're using Datadog Database monitoring which gives you a good breakdown of what the most pricey queries are - it uses information from the pg_stat_statements table, which contains a lot of useful stats about query execution performance.

You should regularly check such statistics to see if there aren't any queries which are unexpectedly consuming a big chunk of your database resources, as that might mean you're missing an index, or a non-optimal query plan has been chosen somewhere.
A bill is a changeset to law. It has a title that is generally aligned with the major intent. Otherwise the bill as a whole acts like a freight train; the major intent is the engine and whatever else ready to be merged is hitched onto it.
> No, but I'm shocked git is so misunderstood that this would be considered a time to do this.

You shouldn't be. As you say, you shouldn't need to do this, but the fact that so many people do feel the need to do this speaks to poor UI design on git's part. There are, I think, two main reasons why people feel the need to do this.

The first is that git makes it really easy to rewrite history, without really offering much in the way of safety rails. You have but to be burned by this once to lose all trust in git whatsoever. And this is something where there are safer ways to rewrite history: Mercurial's concept of phases or changeset evolution is easily far better than git in this regard. Even exporting the excised revisions as a revset ("strip-backup") is far easier for me to undo than having to go into git reflog (especially because I don't need to race any `git gc` command--note that git is the only VCS that feels the need to have a garbage collector!).

The second issue is that git has a lot of different places where state can be hiding, and it quickly becomes unclear which of the various places a command is affecting. Is this going to update my working directory, the most recent commit, the staging area, or multiple of those copies? If I'm in the middle of an interactive rebase, do I need to `git commit` or `git commit --amend` or some other command to properly update "the" commit? Maybe if you're fluent in git, it's all obvious, but if you're not fluent, it's way too easy to accidentally do the wrong thing. And looking up git documentation doesn't help--it's the only tool I regularly use where reading the documentation actively leaves me more confused than before I consulted it.

But doesn't this acquisition put MS in a much stronger position, and isn't the Deck a direct competitor to MS hardware? MS now has a massive game catalog and I can't see any reason they would want to allow Valve to access it on their own console. Maybe MS will tolerate Steam near term, but you can't tell me that MS enjoys letting Valve take a cut of every sale, and with so many huge titles they can absolutely force users into whatever store they want (and limit them to whatever platform they want).

I don't know why anybody would give Microsoft of all companies the benefit of the doubt on this front.

I imagine it's a smaller version of the American cars vs Japanese cars attitude that really peaked during the 70s and 80s. It's still around to this day where you meet people who are Chevy or Ford die-hards and hate all cars Japanese. Considering that trucks are often farming equipment and Chevy and Ford make trucks it would make sense people would have similar attitude about their dedicated farm equipment coming from John Deere vs Yamaha (a joke example since they make things from pianos to motorcycles.)

You're right - but when you look at the list of Playstation exclusives vs Xbox exclusives, you'd hardly know it. A lot of people buy Playstations because there's nothing of interest on Xbox that they can't have.
They will be MS exclusive. It's fine if you're a windows gamer, but this is bad news for anyone who plays games on Playstation, Linux/Steam/Proton, or Nintendo platforms.

It also really should be the target of anti-trust action if that was a thing anymore. It's going to be a reality fairly soon that anyone who wants to play all the latest AAA titles will have to own at least two gaming devices.

That's not only annoying from a consumer perspective, but it's counter-productive from the perspective of how much redundant hardware it means in the midst of a chip shortage.

Surely, this is not a serious take.

For one, NK hardly has the capacity to "destroy" the US - they barely have working ICBMs.

Secondly, whatever the amount of nuclear warheads necessary to deter this is, it's surely less than 3,750[0].

We cannot know whether it is impossible to stop the "genie," as no serious attempt has been made. The U.S. and Russia together hold 90% of the world's nuclear weapons. The Cold War being over, are you seriously proposing they need this entire arsenal in order to defend themselves against the very serious and dangerous threats of checks notes Pakistan and North Korea?

If so, then how come the US still reserves the right to a pre-emptive nuclear strike? How come it has not adopted a "no first use" policy like China and India?
