> Besides which the only part of the article that mentions taxes is when someone mentioned Andorra being an independent nation and paying less taxes to be autonomous than the people of Val d'Aran pay to Spain.

Nitpicking: Andorra doesn't "pay tax to be autonomous" to Spain, nor to France for that matters. Andorra is the oldest country in Europe whose borders haven't changed since it was created (1278). It's a tiny country but it's a sovereign country. It has its own parliament and its official language (which is neither spanish nor french but catalan).

Andorrans pay less taxes because Andorra is autonomous.

There are ways to inject randomness into a dataset, giving subjects plausible deniability without compromising the integrity of the outputs. See https://pair.withgoogle.com/explorables/anonymization/ for a nice example.

Bottom line is, there are ways to share such data safely. Whether the data owner cares enough to do the extra work, especially if doing so removes a competitive advantage, is another story.

That's precisely why it shouldn't be in JS.

Edit: to clarify, javascript is full of random warts that you have to know about in order to use it effectively, that's why I think a language with less such warts would be more suitable for someone that wants to try out and use the ideas book introduces with caring too much about the language.

Another great work of Murray Bookchin's -- which may be more topical here -- is an essay called "Towards a Liberatory Technology".

Perhaps I'm not as rich as everyone else on HN, but I feel like this is a frivolous game for rich kids. The entry bar here is being able to afford planes, flight lessons, airport fees, fuel, hotels, etc. more so than anything else. At 19, that means rich parents. I came out distinctly underwhelmed with the accomplishment, and overwhelmed by the self-congratulatory copy.

Why is that? What does not being FAANG have to do with it?

It's a bunch of complicated empty claims to justify something, and the facts show that the something is rich people evading taxes at unprecedented rates, and the GOP preventing enforcement.

I agree with that. More information and less rigging is a more efficient market, which is a win-win for nearly everyone.

Maybe the big players could agree to record a decent portion of the transactions transparently across a clearinghouse or blockchain that would be audited manually or cryptographically. Then you have real-time approximation of rates.
I never read this book during my education. Would you all say there’s something to be gleaned from reading this as an engineer with some years of experience already, or is it primarily an introduction to programming?
I believe all of those violate causality, at least if you have more than one of them (more than one pair in the case of wormholes).
I would love taxes or other regulation that encouraged companies to split up, but I think something like an aggressive progressive tax structure on revenue would work better than sending money to the companies at the bottom.

A company dying means the people in it would be available to other companies, where they could potentially find better things to do. Very different from a person suffering from poverty (where welfare and such has its place).
>> Not a single police budget was actually cut

"In fiscal 2020-2021, the Austin police budget was $292.9 million, down from $434.5 million the previous year. The City Council slashed $31.5 million directly from the police budget last year.

It also put $121.7 million in a reserve fund that was intended to 'decouple or reimagine some public-safety functions' from the police department but which ended up funding police operations, says Alicia Dean, a spokesperson for the city. The City Council also canceled three cadet classes and cut 150 officers from the budget last year, says City Councilor Mackenzie Kelly, an outspoken supporter of the police."

One of the side effects of the pandemic is that there is now a global remote-first tech workforce. Working remotely is a skill that companies might not have wanted to gamble on their people learning, but now everyone has this skill. There's momentum in this direction now and changing it would actually require increased costs for many companies - more office space, fewer employees in low-cost areas, etc.
No, it's only "generated through an interaction of a covered platform user with the business's products or services". Device ID and Locations aren't exactly generated through an interaction unless the user decides to give it.

Exactly that's your choice. You can choose to continue being on Apple's App Store where they do check for all of these if you want. No one is forcing you to install give that credit card info. Don't take away my choice to choose otherwise. If I want to pay for something with credit card, shouldn't I be allowed to? Or if I wanted to run background processes on my devices?

Wrong.

In the 90s and early 00s people would download all sorts of apps from the internet and would inadvertently be installing viruses, they think their app review process prevents this entirely. Fear of downloading viruses is something a certain subset of computer users no longer worries about because everything is either through the app store or in a browser.
> Scala is really lacking a way to easily support structural typing like typescript does. ES clearly wins here, since in Scala you have to define the case class in advance. And while you can just use maps, you give up typesafety.

Looking at it the other way, Typescript is really lacking nominal typing and the safety and simplicity that it provides. Structural typing isn't needed if you don't care about Javascript / dynamically typed coding patterns. But Typescript is optimized for exactly that, that's why it has structural typing. Personally I much prefer Scala's type system, it is very rare that I long for more dynamism than it affords, even though I've coded in and liked Javascript for years prior to that.

My team didn't use STS but I know other teams at the company did. Those that did rely on non-us-east-1 endpoints did stay up IIRC. Our company barely use the AWS console at all and base most of our stuff around their APIs to hook into our deployment/CI processes. But I don't work at AWS so I don't know if it's true or if there was some other backend replication lag or anything else going on that was impacted by us-east-1 being down. We had some failures for some of our older services that were not properly sharded out, but most of our stuff failed over and continued to work as expected.
Gives a nice historical context to the rise of the computer. Might want to fact check a lot of stuff though - it includes a lot of major moments that some people might remember differently.
It is introduction to programming like no other. It takes it to a whole new level. Mind you, it is not about software engineering just about how to solve problems with algos. It used to be in LISP (Scheme if i am not mistaken) and now they have a JS version.

I think a common solution to this is that if you want to be a remote worker with a worldwide employment pool, you need to set-up an entity from under which to invoice, whether that would be freelancing or having an LLC, and then you take care of your taxes, healthcare, and so on yourself. At least this is how I know everyone (myself included) do it. It's not really complicated, you just need to hire an accountant, and company formation usually is also not expensive.
Co-working?
That's an oversimplification. Lots of people in this thread have mentioned consequences of giving companies like Facebook the option of moving to sideload-only, and how that normalizes not having a quality/policy gatekeeper for installed apps. You can't enforce good app behavior purely from API design.
> So you end up with just a general feeling that the government is ripping them off and no obvious path to correcting it.

But we have a great way of correcting it. We've corrected oodles corruption; our government has become measurably less corrupt over time. Of course it's not perfect, but we haven't stamped out cancer and car accidents either; we've made enormous progress and there is no need to stop now.

The defeatism serves the corrupt - and I guarantee you that they are the ones spreading it. What is amazing to me is seeing people, who have power, abandoning it because they are told they have none. It's like sports team walking off the field, when they are far superior to the opposition.

Most people don't want corruption. The only way for the corrupt to thrive is to get those people to quit.

Lol. Your example was a person with one of the 5 biggest constituencies in the country. Just go talk to your local rep. It's not hard. And it turns out, because so many morons believe what you tell them, they don't try to meet with the reps and they aren't so busy as they could theoretically be.
Even so, if you're responding to the "wanting to work there" you could do so in a less snide manner that's more in line with HN's guidelines on constructive commenting.

The waves observed being not merely compression (sound) waves, but gravity waves, in which the air column itself is transported vertically.

Implications and impacts of this are as yet unknown, but the results might include mixing between atmospheric regions, impacts on satellites (increased drag for very-low-orbiting craft), the speed at which the waves propagate (atmospheric gravity waves should be slower than compression blast waves), cloud patterns (lifted humid air would tend to condense out, then re-vaporise, at it is lifted and lowered).

What's changed in particular is our ability to observe, from multiple instruments and points of view, events of this magnitude. New sensors -> new observable phenomena.

True, true, pictures are even one level higher in terms of difficulty to anonymise right (and that's not even what they are asking, here it's about structured text records).

FYI, high-res face MRI are just pictures of the face.
So yes, if you share the picture of the face of someone, they may find your identity back, but it's not specific to MRI.

Dealing with any medical record that contains pictures of patient you should take additional steps to prevent identification, and face is the most sensitive part of the body as it can be most likely identified.

If tomorrow there are publicly available anonymised close-up pictures of cardiac MRI, it'd be extremely challenging to map them to their real owner with a 100% certainty but the discoveries it could lead to are very exciting (and the same with skin cancer pictures for example, or suspiciouses moles)
Are there any startups attempting to sort out the tax situation when working from different places. It would involve a lot of figuring out with governments but as things stand I think being a digital nomad is going to be done semi illegally.

I would definitely sign up and pay my fair share to the correct jurisdiction.
Honestly, that sounds plausible, but how would you achieve higher conviction rates?

You're not going to get far with the current US police. If you compare the money put in to the crime stats, the picture is one of an extreme inefficiency. They've failed in their mission to such an extent that a large minority of people simply don't trust them enough for them to do their duty to those people. They've preside over a third-world crime rate with first world tax revenues.

At this point, it would be reasonable to start talking about a wholesale reboot of the whole operation.

However, if that's too radical, or too expensive, it would seem pragmatic to try and target crime through some other mechanism - e.g. welfare.

Presumable FDAs analysis assumed current staffing levels. Going to go out on a limb and assume they’ve got a LOT more people involved in creating docs than in deidentifying docs.

And, yes, I think public data on this sort of stuff is important and should be properly resourced.

I think:

Step 1. ASK PERMISSION before changing the way data is handled.

Step 2. Share full datasets more generously, but still gated by use and handling agreements. This probably means a private citizens without ethics research training and a supporting it dept can’t get a copy and peruse it on their personal laptop, but also that a truly enormous number of researchers would be able to access the data.

The gold standard of a CSV in a public s3 bucket shouldn’t be the enemy of good enough.

Because people are selling...To me it seems that the FAANG stocks weren't actually overpriced. Many of the other software companies seemed overpriced to me. But any strong sounding narrative as to why is going to be.. incomplete. Someone else will say inflation and interest rates. Someone else will say something else. All you know is people are selling.
