You're missing the point. I understand the pretext and boilerplate reasons given for why ordinary people pay lots of taxes but corporations don't. The deeper question that I pose to you and everyone else defending the status quo is WHY. There is no natural law of taxation, no platonic ideal to strive for. Tax policy is what it is because people have made it this way. There have been many decisions made, and other decisions could just as well have been made. Ask yourself why all of those decisions have been made in favor of corporations and not ordinary people.

>Because you don't employ people. From a taxation perspective it's much better to have companies running on quite low margins that allows them to keep existing. It's why some companies get subsidies so even though they are barely profitable, their employees, the voters, can stay happy.

All* of Netflix's income comes from subscribers who are ordinary people. Ordinary people are the reason why Netflix exists. Why don't we subsidize ordinary people to ensure their happiness?

*(or at least most, for this discussion at least, I'm not familiar with all of Netflix' income streams)

> Netflix will have X engineers at +$300k/year paying taxes, injects money in the TV/movie industry with their productions and is overall a positive for the economy.

Again, all of that money flows from ordinary people, Netflix is just the conduit. People inject money to the industry via Netflix. Point is, it's all a matter of perspective and line drawing, and every line is drawn so that large corporations benefit, not ordinary people. It's all choices that have been made, and all in favor of large corporations.

> While I don't know where you live or your financial situation, there are probably a ton of benefits/tax credits that you do in fact get to incentivize a specific behaviour (think retirement account, tax-free saving accounts, etc...)

But none take my overall personal tax liability down to 1.1%. There's an order of magnitude difference there. Show me one (well off, just as Netflix is) W2 employee who has ever legally reduced their tax liability down to 1.1%.
Smallpox no? I mean it was criminal to not be vaccinated in many places and upheld by courts. Seems a stronger mandate to me.
It seems like they mostly missed their projections. Could someone help me understand why the stock is spiking after hours?
Research funding should be wider-spread, perhaps, but it should not be spread wider by finding show-horses that stand out for appearances. The validity of ideas is only born after a decade or more, so we should prioritize diversity and persistence of ideas and funding streams.
I was upset at the time, but in hindsight, and given how they've managed to continue to support both S1 and S2 product lines, I can't really say they did it wrong. Bifurcating your app to continue to provide support for 10+ year old hardware is a lot better than simply EOL'ing said hardware.
That’s not how anything in tech works.

No disrespect to teachers, but if they’re starving then maybe they should find a job that’ll pay their worth.

They are a meta game and feel like cheap way to encourage me to play more. A game, at least that's how I prefer it, should just be so good that I will want to play more. Games should trust their own quality, and let the player have their own experience of it, not incentivize or normalize the experience.

Rule 1 of picking mobile games: If it's "free" and is sponsoring a YouTube video, or if it's advertised in another mobile game, or if it advertised in the store, DON'T PLAY IT, because it is not a game!

I wish the stores had an "In Game Currency" filter, not just "In App Purchases".
Don't expect a person who is grieving to grieve in a particular way, particularly in the U.S. culture. Some people might want to talk about it, other people might not. Some people might cry, some people might not. It's personal. Be there for them.

Off topic, having seen your wife go through her experience, if you personally had the same issues, would you choose the same treatment path?

I watched my dad go through a failed bone marrow transplant and my current stance is “no”.

Curious to hear your thoughts if you’re able to share.
Yes. Seems easy to spot them but they sneak pasta the filters.
I worked 4x10 a week. I can speak to the experience.

At times early in my career I took breaks away from programming.

The role wasn't as mentally engaging as programming and you could leave your brain at the door when you left each day.

It was amazing, I almost stayed there permanently, I wasn't enamored with the work but each week was true mental reset.

I think we have to divide roles that requires deep work from roles that don't.

Just like we have to separate butt in seat inbound sales roles from programming.

For programming type roles, 5x5or 4x8 would work better in my estimation depending on meeting workload.
I've been doing 4×8 for years now. My wife works the same days, son goes to kindergarten¹. That leaves Friday through Sunday for household chores and relaxation. I wouldn't want to work more hours or days even if paid double.

1: Kindergarten is a huge benefit to his development, and he loves it. More and more countries are making kindergarten available to not just working parents but all (the Netherlands is going in that direction too). It's hard to overstate how beneficial that is for both (working) parents and child alike.
They could also handle this by routing packets from different customer tiers to different hosts that all handle the same TLS hostname. Or, even, to different interfaces on the same Netflix CDN box they have sitting in a local rack caching everything. That wouldn't break TLS, because all of those hosts work as a TLS endpoint for the same host.
It is beneficial to those it is intended to benefit.

The 15% pay cut is an industry convention, but is that actually justified by any financial reasoning? With actual competition in this space, business models can be discovered that could potentially lower costs. Not to mention, given the VC effect, there will likely be newcomers that try to undercut Apple/Google and each other with lower prices by burning investor capital, for a time.
Your standards for unbiased and objective are seriously questionable:

I think there's two parts to it. Theres talk about how it could/should have been done. Then there is rating the result.

I know very little about the makings of a movie. There is a long list of job titles after a movie and I know not what they do.

But I can tell you I think a movie is shit.

I can't meaningfully tell you how the movie process should have gone to make it a good one.
7 years later and no commercial product, so you might be right.

Ah, this is about instagram stories! Yes, definitely know peers who use that. I was thinking Zuck was referencing facebook stories, which seem like a flop.
> But a strong benefit to the App Store for me is being able to manage and cancel my subscriptions from a central place. No going through 5 screens, no being forced to call, no any of that crap.

If it's as strong a benefit as you believe then developers will keep offering it.
Apparently, you didn't read the message.
Well it's definitely unusual to do it after.
There's been plenty of progress on the issue of not overwhelming the healthcare system. In the areas with high vaccination rates. Most hospitalizations are by the unvaccinated. In those cases where unvaccinated overwhelm the system, that's not the politicians' fault except for the ones also spreading anti-vaxer misinformation.

I object to Starlink because it ruins the night sky for astronomers.
Yeah, I guess I am misunderstanding what you are trying to say, then, because from my interpretation, this more or less sounds like BlastDoor, but with an added user/contact component.

Adding the user component sounds like an interesting idea, but you've still got to parse the/a payload to get to that. And if you're looking to a zero trust style model, you definitely don't want security decisions put to users (aka "Grandpa Bob"), as demonstrated by email spam/phishing/malware.
A 30% success rate is not bad. Actually, that's much better than my field. Ostensibly "no matter how many times" means "p<0.01 this was random chance" or something.

This is just a requirement from some real estate agencies as they charge an extra fee from sellers for a dedicated property website.

The site itself will be very lightweight with less than 5 pages max.

That sounds good, I sent you an email to the address on your profile. Hope to hear back soon :) thanks a bunch!
Just a lot of standardization and years of intuiting what these mean.

In this case, you definitely need some intuition of elliptic curves and "special points" that is hard to explain, but Quanta does it decently.

Here's an example from the ARM Architecture Reference Manual (B.2.3.6) that often throws people for a loop--

> For a read or a write RW1 from an Observer that is Ordered-before a read or a write RW2 from a different Observer,
the External visibility requirement requires that RW2 is not Observed-by RW1. This means that an Architecturally
well-formed execution must not exhibit a cycle in the Ordered-before relation.
> afraid that non-App Store apps will be able to install viruses or brick their devices - which isn't the case.

It absolutely is the case.

The problem is that a company can be a revolving door of people taking the fall for crimes. The better dissuading action is to force the company to shutter operations for a set period of time. It's only fair that such a catastrophic punishment can happen to individuals that it can also happen to businesses that are generally much, much more harmful.
I think this article fails to appreciate a few things that should change in a 4-day week:

- We (as individuals) should value our own time more than time working for a company.

- We continually, clinically, undervalue the role rest has in our ability to do better work. Sure, a four day week won't directly lead to more rest, but three days off would likely lead to people resting more.

- Many of us often spend a whole day or more of our weekends on personal things that pile up through the workweek (chores, paperwork, childcare/events), which is not restful.

- The company should not encourage work on the traditional 5th day.
Why isn't my life a business purpose? Who decided what a 'business purpose is' and why? And how perverse is it that I can benefit from tax policy by masquerading as a business myself, but as a human I'm excluded.
We had a script that would re-sequence all the jobs in the system, which you rarely want to do, as you have to put eyes on a bunch of physical locations. The password for the script was "BADIDEA"
3x8 is when most of life stops revolving very heavily around selling your time to do what other people who have money tell you to, and anything else whatsoever has a chance to become the main thing a normal person dedicates their life/time to in their prime years. That's the point at which we've really made it as a culture, IMO, and that's why even 4x8 is flawed (but a huge step in the right direction!)

4x10, as in TFA, isn't progress but just shifting things around. It's not a revolution, it's not new, and it doesn't change things in any interesting ways, IMO. Maybe it's a baby-step to 4x8? I dunno.

However, rather than messing with any of this (right now) I'd prefer that we drastically cut back who counts as "exempt" for the purposes of overtime, and fake "contractors" (actually full time workers) that are widespread all over the economy, et c. That seems like a solid step 1. Whole sections of the economy aren't even doing what's nominally "full time" now, but more. More hours should be on the table, but only at a significant premium so companies aren't free to just demand it for nothing, and workers should be free to refuse it (so that they have to offer enough that the "yes" is an actual "yes"). That way they only use it when they need it—you know, leverage market forces to do something good.

Also, I'd call out fixing healthcare and broadening coverage of anti-noncompete and pro-moonlighting laws to the entire country as vital if we want these changes to reduced-full-time-work to be an economic benefit, not hindrance. That'll make entrepreneurship or side-hustles far more accessible to people who want something resembling a normal life (having a family, for instance) and also aren't trust-fund kids or otherwise damn lucky, but who want to sell something they are fully responsible for and are choosing to do.

Something would also need to be done about current part-time workers, who suffer from a different "working too many hours" problem than white-collar folks (i.e. multiple jobs out of necessity). Much higher minimum wages (or, if we want to go farther, UBI) might be on the table. In general I think enhancing the market signaling power of the large bulk of the populace that's not doing so great now, could only help make our economy healthier and more robust—much of the point of having a market economy is to efficiently provide things people want, right? That would also go hand-in-hand with opening up time & opportunity for entrepreneurship. There'd be some challenges involved (the effect on real estate prices is absolutely the #1 concern, but, like... that's already going poorly, so we already need to find a way to stop that) but I don't think they're insurmountable.
The article is likely a plant by the establishment (Conde Nast here) who want to maintain a servant class, so they're grasping for any straw men they can find. As union talk spreads among tech workers, expect an article in Wired something like, "Could unions be bad?"
Mainly in areas where many people haven't been vaccinated. Where I'm at, hospitals are fine.
Android offers sideloading and third-party app stores (with minor limitations), yet the vast majority of users do not sideload Android apps. I remember reading it's about 1 in 200 who does, which I found surprisingly small. Commercial apps that aren't in Google's store usually want to do something against Google's rules - sometimes for good reasons, sometimes not.

I don't think you'll find many apps jumping ship entirely. They might offer lower prices elsewhere.
AH, now we see who cavorted inside the shell.
I think the Austrian school explains quite well the phenomenon, like Newton’s Laws for dynamics.

It’s just a fact that the rich have become richer during the pandemic. People see it and they don’t like it.

I've never heard anyone articulate exactly how I felt about Planetary Annihilation and Overgrowth: the only two games I bothered to pay for prerelease / dev news. In general, I think I've grown to enjoy reading about interesting projects more than playing games anymore, so it's almost like getting to go spend time at an interactive art exhibit after fawning over their work.

If you're referring to Jacobson v. Massachusetts, that case was about whether the state has a right to impose a fine on someone who refused to be vaccinated. A fine is very different than being barred from conducting commerce.
You are quite right, but the media, the government, and many public health agencies have been ignoring this, focusing solely on antibody levels, and trying to keep them constantly high through ever more panicky calls for more and more boosters. For everyone, regardless of prior infection.
Given the regulation prevents this counterfactual from being tested at all, this is really just speculation.
Maybe dumb question- I've never been in a truck. Wouldn't the distance from seat to window be ~pretty much the same whether it's CoE or conventional?

There's a hood in front of you for conventional, and I guess crumple zone deceleration comes in to play there? But as this article mentioned US trucks have a much higher average/top speed so you're probably just as likely to go through the window.
Where I live health systems are not overwhelmed. They were never overwhelmed even before the vaccines. They are occasionally under some pressure here and there like in a bad flu season. But I have to show a vax card to eat in a restaurant.
You seem to be engaging in magical thinking by imagining that a sandbox can prevent all malware.

No serious security researcher would support this claim.
technically, COVID is the disease and SARS-COV-2 is the virus. So the virus can circulate with only a very small fraction of people getting COVID if the vaccines are highly effective.
The things that would help most with the Karikó Problem are:

1. Open access to research. Wikipedia, Sci-Hub, PLoS, Library Genesis, GitLab, MDPI, arXiv, PubMed, GitHub, BitTorrent, medRxiv, bioRxiv, and Tor. It's unconscionable that today professional societies like ACM and IEEE are using copyright to impede access to knowledge as if they were for-profit corporations.

2. Universal basic income, so today's Karikós don't have to choose between research and food. Conceivably some kind of reform is needed to prevent landlords from skimming off the UBI and returning us to zero, as the Georgists claim.

3. Reducing the cost of apparatus through initiatives like Foldscope and Paperfuge. We need not just one Manu Prakash but ten thousand Manu Prakashes, because Edmund Scientific is just never going to fulfill the needs of shoestring labs in Ghana.

4. Freedom from persecution for researchers. For example, where I live, buying acetone gets you Put On A List, and the hardware stores now label their lye simply as "drain opener" to evade the same regulations. California recently prohibited the sale of basic supplies like xylene under an extremely far-fetched interpretation of anti-air-pollution laws. Only recently did Texas repeal its prohibition on sales of lab glassware to unlicensed individuals. Hennig Brand discovered phosphorus by isolating it from a massive amount of his own urine; in South Carolina today you can get arrested for possessing a bottle of urine: https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/a-friend-was-charged-with.... Critical Art Ensemble founder Steve Kurtz was famously arrested for "bioterrorism," then indicted for wire fraud and mail fraud, because he and his wife were culturing non-pathogenic bacteria in Petri dishes. This sort of thing should be unthinkable.

This will probably require ending drug prohibition; I don't see a reasonable way to protect researchers' freedom to synthesize arbitrary materials while prohibiting the possession of a large and constantly growing list of materials. But I don't think it's reasonable to prioritize the needs of drug addicts, drug traffickers, and empire-builders in law enforcement over the needs of innovators.

5. Going beyond freedom from active persecution, it's important to cultivate a social attitude that basic research is not only not harmful, but an important and worthwhile activity. This is the opposite of the attitude cultivated by Hollywood, which considers anything scientific to be inherently scary and antihuman.
I solved this by just sticking with my S1 devices. Other than the horrible software, still going ok. When I eventually replace, it won't be sonos, but I've yet to see a really good option for replacing it.

I built a partial HP-GL importer to our small CAD visualization startup's internal vector data structure ~20 years ago. I remember thinking HP-GL was quite elegantly designed, especially for being so old (1977).

Always wanted one of these plotters, just because they were amazing pieces of machinery, moving so insanely quickly.
The US has been using Israel as high-tech offshore military R&D for at least the past 40 years. The US "gives" $4 Billion in "military aid" to Israel each year.

You may also be aware that Israel invaded territory in 1967 which it continues to occupy in flagrant violation of "international law," and that this occupation continues to be violently resisted.

Those are a few of the more salient reasons why Israel is a hotbed of military/cyber/border/security technology. It's all developed, tested, and deployed against a vulnerable occupied population, then sold to the "friendly" (ahem) nations of the world.

Oh. People are trying to fit 40 hours into 4 days, or trying to do 5 days worth of work in 4 days? I don't think anyone thought that would be good. 4 day workweek is committing to do 4/5ths less work so that people get less burned out. I don't think it would ever improve productivity (like in terms of "number of tedious todos done" or "number of meetings attended").

Optimizing for long-term mental health should probably be the only goal.

(For software engineers, I feel like most of the job is in-the-background thinking, so not having to wake up at a particular time 3 days a week instead of only 2 is definitely going to help that process. But I don't think it will ever scale to "call each customer and exchange pleasantries for 30 minutes a week". There is simply a hard time bound on how much work you can do in X hours with jobs like that, and doing less hours means doing less of those calls. No way around that.)
I loved the big font and overall UX, very minimalist and fit their theme it seems like.
Sure business applications are cool. But the hassle of using a headset vs a simple Zoom call? They’d have to build some great conferencing features in there. It’s possible.
