I did answer the question. Part of useful discussions is questioning everything - I was merely commenting that maybe taking all those notes isn't as useful as one might think. This could influence someone to look beyond "note taking software" into other types of solutions that might also fit. Who knows, it might spark an idea for someone to create a new note taking app.

Lets not restrict the discussions to a Q&A format.
You are a bad person for doing this. For using the law for personal whimsy instead of remedying or preventing real harm to people. Grow up. Life isn't an internet joke.
> Why should I, a small time REIT holder pay more proportionately in property taxes than a celebrity in a Beverly Hills mansion, or even my landlord who only rents a few million-dollae units for that matter?

To decrease the return on holding property indefinitely, which prevents renters from building equity to the benefit of small-time REIT holders. The outcome of this is an increase in home ownership which has a host of benefits to society. It also helps economic benefits to stay in the local area. Basically, Georgism tax policy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism.

What benefits do you see REITs provide to a community, beyond increasing your personal wealth?

Also, a hard cap of, say, 10 homes without increase would still allow REITs to exist depending on implementation.

What is _not_ desirable is a large financial firm like Blackrock or JPMC siphoning off the liquidity of the housing market.

People outright rejecting evolution I have met very few (I'm also outside the US). But I think it is a somewhat common view that evolution was kicked off and being shaped by a god. While the gist of evolutionary theory is simple to grasp for everyone, the results and involved timespans are mind-boggling.
The gist of the article which I agree a lot seems to be.

Nothing has significantly changed since the 80s-90s, ATGMs have gotten better but they were still a huge problem back then and the solution seems to be the same, better recon, more artillery.

Drones don't represent something new but really precision strikes at a discount, capabilities only available to major powers once are now "buy off the shelf".

The TB-2 with a couple of MAM missiles does the same job as an f4 with a couple of walleyes.

The only difference being the f4 cost 2 million dollars in 1965 while the TB-2 costs 2 million dollars now.
I guess the previous comment was from an artistic point of view, not from a business/legal pov.
Headlines are very bad places for truth. They're often written by rushed editors with less real-world reporting experience.

Because newspapers still often have to fit for space and are less likely to write multiple headlines for digital and print, there are constraints that often lead to rapid iterations and are far more likely to be out of sync with the article itself.
Nice tool and nice interface. It's a shame that (and to no one's fault) we tend to rely on POSIX standard tools (or at least ones we can expect). I do it too since I like to know that that new machine I'm logged into has what I want. The big exception is for personal scripts where I'd only run them on my own machine since I have full control.

Very nice looking personal tool though.
Yes it would be better, because you wouldn't pay your bid (for many it seems to just be max affordable) that was potentially the largest by a long shot.

And I don't see that ghost bids propping it up would be much of a problem, they'd risk winning? You could require registering names, putting a deposit down perhaps, no real need for it to be anonymous even?
What you described has little to do with empathy.
I think this is hard for California to do alone, and too big of a step.

Federally, we should move to a 36 hour workweek. Maybe with a long term plan of getting to 32.

Perhaps they stubbornly refuse to spend the extra ten minutes it would take to do so. Perhaps they just don’t like the word ‘shell’,” Trudeau explained. “But rest assured, for this incredibly tiny fraction of international homebuyers, the party is over.”
It's not a joke, but the evidence cited is being interpreted rather freely; the chromosomal and genetic evidence doesn't support the hypothesis at all.

I'd buy horizontal gene transfer via a viral vector (which is still damn unlikely for all those traits) over hybridization any day of the week.

Too much is bad but heavily restricting it isn't as good as people think.
Show HN: Developer API for Granular Authorization
I'm not a fan of the US' record in many areas, especially oppressive, murderous aggression in other countries. I view the alternatives and marvel at how terrible human beings are, because they're all worse than the US. So that theme isn't really a deal breaker as far as I'm concerned.
I think you mean a reverse Dutch action. Which is almost a regular auction.

In a Dutch auction (regular dutch auction. Not reverse.) there is no second bidder. The price starts too high and drops until the first bidder to decide the price is low enough (as it drops) buys.
> He was also kind enough to have noted on the phonautogram the frequency of the fork’s vibration – 500 simple vibrations per second.

This was used to restore the audio speed to restore frequencies, but...

> It turns out that when people wrote “500 simple vibrations per second” in the nineteenth century, they meant 250 Hz in modern terminology.

I love this: such a misunderstanding in what someone in the 19th century saw as 500 somethings, and we see today as 250 somethings, shows that even the apparently intuitively clear understanding of what a description means can be very wrong. (I wonder what this means for more vague descriptions from further in the past and other societies and dead languages.) Or, that measurement and terminology problems, which every developer will be familiar with, are an age-old human problem!

While undeniably true, this view of reality may not be popular in this forum (unfortunately).
Any SAM can shoot down any stealth fighter or bomber given the right conditions. Stealth isn't 100% invisibility. The US lost an F-117 in Bosnia due to both poor operational tactics and a clever foe.

You do realize that the S400 is just an upgraded S300, right? Hence it's original name of S300 PMU-3?
I'd argue the main cause of this is the REALTORs/real estate boards/MLS system that stonewalls any attempts at making real estate information publicly available precisely because the size of their paycheques relies on this information remaining hidden from the public. The conflict of interest beggars belief, but it's allowed to remain, among other reasons, since it also tends to benefit political parties courting votes from homeowners who see their home values continue to rise.

All of this though (ending blind bidding, making buy and sell data publicly available, etc.) is just using a bucket to bail out the Titanic since the system is designed to have prices continuously rise since Canadians are in house debt up to their eyeballs and have no idea how else to actually save for the long term and any party that actually changed this would likely never get voted into power again, if they even continued to exist.
Is that because the beaverton writers are getting better, or because the world is getting more ridiculous?

I don't get it. Since 2006 I have never had to clean-slate my GNU/Linux installation, on both PCs or phones. I only ever did it out of choice, usually with new hardware being a pretext to try a different distro or installation method - which happened total a handful of times during those 15 years. Debian (and apt) in particular has never made me even worry that I'll have to reinstall my OS, and I'm sort of a power user who isn't afraid to break things, so I should be more likely to actually break it. How can my experience of using GNU/Linux as my only OS for so many years be so drastically different than what you describe?

The argument on who pays for health care is the wrong question.

When paying cash for an MRI is $500, and via Health Insurance it is $5,000. There are bigger issues.
I used to get a weekly shot. Paid my $60 dollar co-pay. They billed insurance another $120 or so.

Eventually I asked what the cash price is. $17 dollars. Was a real WTF?! moment.

And SABOTs are usually fired from other tanks, so...
Indeed - this is one of the strategies we're considering.
Yeah, you don't make units, you make battalions.

Siege tanks are grouped with marines and firebats for protection, Marines and medics run with medics for assistance. Have your infantry out front. Move to a location, plant your troops, put your tanks in siege mode, rain hellfire down upon aerial defenses and approaching units so your Battlecruisers can come in with their Vulture and Wraith support to decimate a base.

It takes a village. You know, to destroy the other guys village. But still. Villages.
Yes that's obvious. Surely it's equally obvious that 10%, as an upper bound on the contribution of sealed bids to the problem, is not the main issue?
I don't even want their 'charity,' I just want systems in place to prevent anyone from accumulating that amount of wealth in the first place. First, the basis of philanthropy is to have all the 'normals' grovel at the feet of the all-mighty wealthy begging for handouts. It stokes the wealthy persons ego and also gives them additional power. Second, there's no reason to believe that the wealthy philanthropist has any better idea of how to deploy their capital than the other institutions that would otherwise. Look at Gates, for example. He spent a decade or so and billions of dollars reshaping US public education and at the end of it basically admitted complete failure. That money should have never been his to direct in the first place. So no, we should want their greed exposed and not papered over by philanthropy so that the public eventually realizes that people accumulating and hoarding that much wealth is damaging to society and enact appropriate taxation schemes to claw back what they have stolen and prevent anyone else from ever doing it again.
We use a system called Cockpit. It’s terrible to say the least.

I have never seen a requirements tracking software that worked well for large systems with lots of parts. Tracing tests to requirements and monitoring requirements coverage is hard. For projects of the size I work on I think more and more that writing a few scripts that work on some JSON files may be less effort and more useful than customizing commercial systems.
This source is a second hand account of second hand information. It is not reliable.
This is ridiculous. A Cessna 172 might be able to suicide into a parked F-35, but the idea that 20 would be able to engage it in a dogfight and win just shows a complete lack of aerospace knowledge.

The evidence supporting universal masking as a pandemic-spread-reduction strategy is poor. As an example, there remains no robust RCT supporting masking as a pandemic measure.

Objections to judicial or political processes do not change that.
It's not only about the letters. "Million" and "billion" are both numeric concepts. Numeric concepts are only a small subset of things expressible by language. So million and billion are close because they are spelled similarly and they deal with the same conceptual "thing." Duck and Fuck don't occupy the same conceptual category, so the distance between the two words is large despite being spelled similarly.

One interesting application of neural networks is the creation word embeddings. ML models are trained to place words in a vector space, which is useful for measuring distance between words, performing arithmetic on words, or finding the closet word. Using an embedding allows your to formalize the "distance" between words, and perform fun tricks like King + Woman = Queen.
>You can still have Debian installers be the way they are, with the addition of having a button that enabled non-free firmware

Like I said, each thing is just "fix this one thing by compromising principles." If you do that with all the UX problems you literally end up with ChromeOS. Different distros are on different places along the spectrum between Debian and ChromeOS. Ubuntu is further along for example, so you get applications in containers and other things like that.
But podcasts are just RSS feeds of audio files, so the client of choice should be able to take care of the download without needing to take a trip through Spotify.

> government knows about this problem, so if they take measures to prevent it

As a casual watcher of Yes, (Prime) Minister I'm sure they will take measures to get some votes but not solve the problem. The sweet spot is the point where you can gather most vote with a measure that causes as little change to the existing problem as possible.
I don't know if you've ever photographed birds, but I suspect this would be difficult because shots that are detailed enough to make out enough detail would be tight in, and shots that covered a large patch of sky would not be detailed enough.

Just speculation though, I'm sure with enough resources these are surmountable issues... I'm just not sure what quantity of resources that is.

"Marketing manager" go for around $140k / year. That's a job that requires some skill but definitely not in the realm of "uniquely valuable".

80% of that is $112k / year or 1.6 times the US median salary. Enough to comfortably live with, especially since the job is not physically demanding, allows remote working etc.
I have a cartoon printed in the 1980s with the caption of "do I get partial credit?" Showing a similar bridge so I doubt it is real.

It doesn't help your post when you encourage people to create accounts to promote said post. Voting and comment rings are as looked down upon as fake accounts, especially when they post as if they hadn't seen it before.
You got me "almost 0" was hyperbolic, I'll be more specific: In multiple countries personal taxes can be completed with little more than a signature, and most are simpler in general... the US ranks near the bottom in terms of complexity.

I didn't say that Intuit caused complex taxes, I said they actively lobby to keep them complicated.

Intuit spends millions on lobbying every year (against simplification efforts, as well as efforts for the government to create its own free digital tax filing system) and has recently pulled out of a federal free tax filing program, and are being sued by the FTC for their use of "free" in their marketing and performing bait and switch.
> Australia has a 35-hour work week... but so many breaks too. Morning coffee. Lunch. Afternoon tea. Like it really paced out the day nicely.

I can understand that some people (particularly extroverts who want some time to socialize and mingle) might like this lifestyle a lot, and once in a while yeah you can use a break of course, but personally speaking I'd rather work hard straight through the day and have a larger uninterrupted block of time available in the evening for my own activities outside of the work environment.
From what I have gathered the atmosphere in Yandex is loaded and complex. Yandex is a huge beneficiary from the war but a lot of people in the company are conflicted about it.
Sorry these were meant as two separate points. People have asked repeatedly to use librespot on free accounts, and (other) people have asked to have librespot download files. I've pushed back on both, and Oggify does the later only.
So you just create another one? :) I don't think it's much of a deterrent. At worst you lose up to $10 if you are paying for it.

Well, I must admit there is a graveyard of 60 or so other projects over the years before making anything worth posting here. The dream would be to find a way to work on ProjectionLab full-time, but so far I'm preferring the side-project/bootstrap route focused on growing it slowly and sustainably, in contrast to the VC "unicorn or bust" mentality.
What are the numbers on that? Could one equally say that “the result was simply that many employees received healthcare benefits that they previously did not”?
If a founder starts a company, a company that builds a very helpful product and service, hires employees and pays them creating jobs and ways for them to work on interesting problems, I am not trying to defend the other side of your point, I just honestly don't see where the "exploitation" comes into play?
Presumably any legal system would treat the intent as the primary relevancy. In this case it is abundantly clear what the intent was (note that even the person complaining gives an explanation for what the store intended and thus is clearly not at all confused about the intent).

I'd go for integration or end-to-end tests, depending on your application. Name each test after a requirement and make sure the test ensures the entirety of that requirement is fulfilled as intended(but avoid testing the implementation).

As an example, you could have a test that calls some public API and checks that you get the expected response. Assuming your requirement cares about the public API, or the functionality it provides.

I've tried to be as detailed as I can without knowing much about your application: assumptions were made, apply salt as needed.

Personally, I like having a test-suite be the documentation for what requirements exist. Removing or significantly modifying a test should always be a business decision. Your local Jira guru will probably disagree
I think the GP is trying to make the point that, a scalar in most numerical physics contexts is either a real or complex double precision floating point number(like a double), but they don't see how someone would represent a vector in this geometric algebra(a matrix in Eigen? or a vector in Eigen? myself I would just use a vector, but the GP was interested in the oriented part and seeemed confused). I believe they were looking for an example of someone using this in practice to solve a real problem and have some explanation of the choices made.
> The typical workaround in UK is that instead of selling the house, the corporation that directly or or directly owns it is sold instead, usually on a tax haven.

Couldn't that be addressed by regulating based on the beneficiary owners, rather than whatever legal entity is the technical owner, and having onerous penalties (e.g. forfeiture) if the beneficiary owner is misreported or obscured?
Roughly, because the stealthier an aircraft is the less maneuverable it an be. Also, you need ammunition for a dog fight, which is mostly carried on the wings negating any stealth characteristics. And large internal bays make an aircraft less maneuverable.
We can shortcut a bunch of pedantic arguments by just reading their conclusion;

> In ambulatory patients with heart failure, a dietary intervention to reduce sodium intake did not reduce clinical events.

Ambulatory = walking around, e.g. not hospitalized. The patients were already diagnosed with chronic heart failure and were followed for a year to see if a low-sodium diet would prevent further cardiac events. There wasn't statistical evidence that the low-sodium diet did so. Tada!
No, that's not correct. The reason it's not a barrier and not a boundary is because there are universal bypasses.
On some of the embedded systems I have used this on they don't have scp/rsync/etc and I have found it easier to cross compile this as a standalone application rather than the others.

This is an odd question. unless California's constitution prohibits work time regulation explicitly, it's all California's government's business to legislate on these questions. Read California's constitution.
The code you write may equally be a security risk. Consider the proverbs which caution against rolling your own crypto, for an extreme example. Consider also the potential security issues with rolling your own OAuth or similar. Moreover, there are probably lots of other bugs to be avoided by taking on dependencies—consider the fraught domain of text rendering as an extreme example. These are competing concerns which must be weighed carefully. Trite advice like “minimize dependencies” is just as bad as “don’t rewrite it yourself”. I don’t think there are any easy answers here.

How does it benefit from the war? I had the impression that they were caught in a pretty bad situation due to their outstanding debts and their suspension from nasdaq so that's very surprising!
