That is a related gripe I have, and I think large-scale housing rental organizations like Tricon should be outlawed as well.

It's one thing for someone to have a second home to rent out, it's another to have 20, 30, or 30,000.

The greedy approach has an 1-1/e type of approximatation. You basically prove that the problem is in the class and then solve it greedily. It’s not much different than proving the problem is convex and then using gradient descent.

Let me know if you find anyone that is better. I'm sick of TaxAct premium for the same reason.

I'm ready to go back to doing my taxes by hand and mailing them in. (I'm old enough to remember doing that - it is faster than doing it on the computer except for the one year I forgot to copy line 13 of form 1234A to line 56b of form 9876B) So many dark patters where the software is pretending to take time doing a complex calculation that takes a computer a couple nanoseconds, not to mention all the time to skip over things that don't apply to me.
I’ve stopped using Chrome a while back, due to it being a too integrated with Google services.

However, Chrome is an engineering marvel and well polished.

Congrats on version 100.
Unpaved roads are really no problem at all if you have a suitable vehicle. My basic old 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee has never failed to take on any road I've thrown at it.

I don't see any issue with state tax subsidizing roads a little anyway, especially for the farmers we depend on. Not sure about railroad costs but it would be great if passenger rail was invested in more again.
Yes, which is why just set the bar at responding to any request for any data with "Sorry we do not respond to requests for data that aren't court ordered warrants. Please come back with a warrant we can verify."

The problem here is that companies have a policy of trusting some government email address for little one-off, no warrant needed requests. Don't have that policy.
In theory, yes.

But few people actually do because it is a painful experience. The IRS' documentation isn't actually bad, it is just that the tax system itself is incredibly (and needlessly) complicated.

For example, you'd need to hand-enter every stock trade (even automated re-investments) even though your broker likely already electronically sent this information to the IRS. Using a digital solution they can often log into your broker and auto-import everything.

For how under-budget the IRS is and how bad the tax system is, they do ok, but the whole thing needs a massive overhaul but there is money in politics keeping it bad in order to profit private companies (plus there's a certain demographic that "hating taxes" is a political position that needs to be kept up with, essentially self-reinforcing-itself).

I call it punishment because I don't think the attack was really sophisticated, I think USAA's internal training and software was wholly inadequate to defend against a persistent unsophisticated attacker. Why were they still routing his calls to regular bank tellers after the first couple attempts? Why wasn't the security department involved at that point as the only allowable contact point? Why did they actually hand out the login name and password for an account without doing the 10 minute deep-dive identity verification they now make my wife do?

They are completely sane. It's just not what you're used to.
I'm honestly trying to figure out here if you are trolling, or if you genuinely believe that.

If you do genuinely believe that the US government is worse (or at least just as bad) as the Russian government when it comes to citizens' personal liberties, I'd be very curious to understand why you believe that to be the case.

Certainly I (as a US citizen living in the US) am biased, but I do believe I have a healthy level of criticism and skepticism of my own government, and yet I cannot see how we even come close to how bad the Russian government is.

Version numbers haven't really ever been meaningful. Calendrical versioning is pretty reasonable, and Semver at least makes an effort to give meaning to the version number. But for nearly all software throughout nearly all of computer history, version numbers have been utterly arbitrary. By that metric, I see no reason why 100.0 is any more ridiculous than 10.0.

MMX was 64-bit wide, SSE 128-bit wide and AVX 256-bit wide, and they succeeded each other rapidly (when compared to the situation now). AVX512 is another doubling, so what's the hold up with this one compared to the previous two doublings?

Ah, that's a straight out bug. Let me fix that quickly!

To save time, some commands better handled locally get looked up on the client (we do that for a few really common questions, commands etc). So it shouldn't even go to NLP intent detection. But if it does, it should identify it as a networking command intent and throw that back to the client. So it's double-stuffing-up here :)

Thanks for catching that!
> you thought was rather heartless day to day

It’s the generalization that is wrong. People are not permanently one way. They fluctuate. They are infatuated at 20, struggling for money at 30, tired at 40, getting things in the correct order at 50, disconnected at 60… They make different conclusions about life. They may save a kid at 30 and not when they themselves have a family. Or the opposite. Generalization is erroneous.
That would be fair if companies can also distribute losses if any and are able to get money back from employees
> The Russian government is objectively worse by any honest metric.

Any metric you and I would like to use, yes. The govt of Saudi Arabia, which is an ally of ours, murders journalists with a chainsaw on a foreign soil and smuggles the body out of the host country in suitcases - yet no Saudi company is penalized. Supporting a proxy war in Yemen is not that different from Russian invasion, but somehow it suffers no consequences for doing so.

It's actually easy to justify: for the vast majority of Saudis prince MBS is a good ruler. Who are we to judge how their government works, given completely different cultural backgrounds, religions, and different expectations resulting from that difference? We'd be happier if Saudi Arabia was a democracy with a rule of law instead of chainsaw, but if the majority of Saudis prefer the latter, we shouldn't try to force them to change, even if homosexuals can be legally stoned to death there.

It's an easy argument, but it undermines the "objectively" part of your statement. If we accept MBS, we should accept Putin. If we don't accept the way SA works, as we don't accept Russia's, then we should not trade with the Saudis. We do trade with them, though - we (Poland) even increased (2x or more) the amount of oil imported from them this year, and they continue being our friends and valuable allies in the region.

The situation is frankly schizophrenic. Either there are objective metrics, in which case they should be applied everywhere equally, or we allow Saudis do what they want, but then we have no grounds on which to condemn Putin.

If we want to still stay close to Saudi Arabia and condemn Putin, we have to agree that we condemn Putin based on something else than objective standards of governing.

I'd really like for our foreign policies to stay true to the ideals we hold dear, but that just doesn't seem to be the case. Putin is an actual, real threat, so we don't accept him and his buddies, while MBS only dismembers his own citizens (and he even allowed women to drive!), so we accept him. That's also a kind of "objective metric", but it's far from what you meant, and it makes me deeply uncomfortable TBH.
Yes I was. But I'm also aware of the Big 5 personality traits. Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Neuroticism and Agreeableness. Which people seem to statistically group with some low or high mix of these traits.

Knowing that someone is more neurotic than 99% of other people, would seem on surface be useful in predicting how they might react to new or novel situations.

I was really hoping that they would have internal implementation by now to automatically infer the missing dependencies array for hooks so we need not rely on an external linting tool. This is one of the most common issues faced by react devs.

The game itself doesn't matter, it's all about how you play. You can mindlessly play chess/bejeweled/doom/etc, or you can actively try to find strategies and improve. I see kids publishing detailed wikis and mathematical models for idle games that you'd assume would be completely mindless. I also see adults mindlessly play games on their phone you'd assume would require intelligence such as chess.

What if we all started clicking on every ad on every spam page? Would they eventually get kicked off all the ad platforms for fraud?

The only reason why Google and Facebook work is because their algorithms believe that we only click on the ads that we're interested in. If we click on every single ad, we will completely break their system within 3-6 months.

Also, one might ask "why doesn't the IRS just send you a pre-filled copy of the forms, and you only correct them if they're wrong?".

Unsafe isn't too bad in any code. The point of unsafe is that it is a declaration that the programmer has verified the code is safe. It is certainly easier to verify something along the lines of:

unsafe { transmute::<u32, Error>(error_code) }

than it is to verify that the weird macro code in the article is correct. There is no data races, use-after-free, etc. in that block, it does exactly what the article needs. To me, Rust programmers seem to have a weird notion that just the word "unsafe" is enough to conjure demons and monsters into otherwise totally normal code.

This might not be Reddit, and the parent's point might be crudely made, but watch the fines companies are awarded, and put it in terms of revenue, and then scale it to /$60k USD, to put it terms of how "big" of a fine it would be, from an average person's pocket; you'll find that many of these fines are in the sub-dollar range, which to me, makes it completely fair to dismiss them as any sort of real penalty.

We've been starting to use Sorbet at Figma and honestly it's been pretty cool! Sorbet is definitely not as good at TypeScript (yet?). It's more verbose, doesn't support things like recursive types and records (shapes are experimental), and it doesn't inspire the same confidence TS does but it's definitely worth it to add it to your codebase if it's big enough!

Also, it's fast! I'm in total agreement with the point made in the article. That makes a huge difference in developer UX.

Yes, the battery lifespan is the big issue (as pointed out in my original post).

As for charging at 28 MW: might work, given that the battery is physically larger, so there's more space to dissipate heat. I agree that it's not proven by the napkin math that it's doable.

What I really suspect is that if Los Angeles refuses to accept nuclear container ships, Mexico would let them in, and then the regular railway will be used to move them to the US. A much simpler solution. :)

> People don't capture the full value of their labor (which makes a sort of sense, given imperfect information and how risk is allocated),

I think it is primarily due to de-risking. You agree with your employer that the biggest percentage of your income will be fixed and independent of how much value the company produced (be it profits or share appreciation or whatever). This makes sense because your life has high fixed costs, and your cash-flow cannot allow for years when you make zero (or even a negative amount), even if in the next one you would make 5 times your current salary.

> which leads to people not being incentivized to increase the value of their labor.

Don't think this is necessarily true. I would love to walk into an apple orchard now and spend an hour picking if I could keep 25% of the apples.

Version numbers of commercial software, or software competing intentionally with commercial software grow rapidly until they become cumbersome for the users to remember and interact with. 100+ is definitely getting there.

Right, I mean, at least when the US invades a neighboring country, we don't try that hard to create false pretenses for it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican%E2%80%93American_War).

But, seriously, if you remove "neighboring" from your statement (which seems to be not particularly relevant to a discussion of morality and respecting the sovereignty of other nations), I'm sure we can find plenty of bad examples perpetrated by the US, many of them much more recent than the Mexican-American War.

> Yes, because Goodhart's law is applied. "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure".

It depends on whether the grade is the ends or not. But here the grades aren't the ends. It's just a means to achieve the ends - learning the material.

> Many of those getting an A in arithmetics will have learned "how to get an A" instead of "how to practice and use arithmetics".

That's just a reflection of corruption in the system and not grading itself.

> In Romania, where school is very focused on grades at all levels, pupils really do actually learn how to get the grade instead of how to think.

No school anywhere exists to teach you how to think. But that's besides the point. Does the grade reflect the student's understanding of the material?

> And the actual content is forgotten after a week or a month.

Most content is forgotten regardless of the education system.

So how do kids in romania learn to get good grades? Bribery? That doesn't show that grades are bad, but that the corruption is bad.
> So can microsoft, adobe, google, etc. Even without them, NSA can intercept the hardware and put their software on those boxes...

Those companies often actually have people scan the hardware they receive to check for alterations. There was a whole thing about this a decade ago where a reporter (wrongly, IIRC) accused Facebook and Google of having compromised motherboards, and people from those companies were commenting here about how they are actually very careful with their supply lines and have people vet what they receive with scanning electron microscopes in some instances. (I'll try to find some of the submissions here and edit them as links on the bottom shortly).

I also have it on good authority (a good friend that worked at Google at the time) that Google found out that someone (the NSA) was tapping their inter-datacenter links and that's one of the reasons they made sure all data between datacenters was encrypted, and that was prior to the Snowden leaks.

So yes, agencies are constantly attempting to infiltrate large tech companies for their own purposes. That doesn't mean they always succeed, or that those companies just give up and accept that it happens. They all fight it quite actively.
Even if you could isolate output chains, that means many of subsequent transactions that are legit would get cancelled...
