My previous experience of this was:

1. No user facing feature releases for the time being the deal being agreed and becoming effective (plenty of backend systems, performance optimisations, etc. still got released)

2. Don't touch anything on the day of the deal, in fact, take a free day off.

3. No major feature removals for 3 months after the deal.
One of the nice things about LVT is that it aligns those incentives though, since what increases tax revenue the most is investment in public infrastructure and services. It's the Henry George Theorem at work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_George_theorem
> Most publicly traded companies rarely issue new shares.

False, most public companies have stock based compensation plans, which are ways of issuing new shares. Without them, they would need to substitute stock compensation with cash to acquire talent.

Facebook issues shares every time they approve a new stock based compensation plan.
hormones are definitely not overhyped although they are sometimes used to explain things, but incorrectly.
Twitter has ~200m daily active users. I can't find recent churn numbers, but older reports suggest it is quite high[1].

Generally, churn would not have much of an ideological bias. On average people would leave for personal reasons and so you get an even-ish spread. However, if the major events of the day do have an ideological character - you would expect those events to have an outsized impact in one direction or another on people along those ideological lines.

So on a normal week you'd see both liberal and conservative accounts get +500 and -500 followers, but on this week the liberal gets -1000 and the conservative gets +1000. Same churn, but driven by what is on peoples' minds.

With respect, i think it isn't and that the pendulum has swung too far on the other side. It is more likely that you will find purists who will attack anyone who wants to "make money on the internet" , to the point that people no longer post their projects here. E.g. it is impossible to state that you want to monetize your project via advertising and not get attacked. And yet the people who make those attacks overwhelmingly work in ads companies.
> You just did prove my point though which is that this is the only argument that Go programmers consider, and they blindly reject that adding more lines of code can harm readability.

Can we lower the rhetorical temperature a notch? Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they're "blindly rejecting" your reasoning. In particular, I'm not just a Go programmer--I've used Java, C#, Python, JS, C++, and C in various professional over the course of my career and I've also played around with dozens of other languages and I have more experience with several of those languages than I have with Go. My opinions are shaped by those other languages at least as much as they're shaped by Go, and indeed I didn't start out having these "pro-Go" opinions--rather, I adopted them over time after allowing my preconceptions to be challenged. Note also that some of my preconceptions haven't changed--I still think sum types and enforced handling of return values are a good idea, for example.
> However, not all applications require a blockchain.

Exactly. However:

> Services such as social networks could link the user's account to their global identity by providing a signed document proving the user's public key is tied to a certain account, or users can do this on their own by providing a public cryptographic proof on their account. (Keybase)

Yet Keybase kept your private key on their cloud for 'convenience' purposes. If you decide to manage the keys yourself, well you're probably more likely going to lose it. Hence, maybe that is why it didn't take off at all and even after they got acquired.

As for 'blockchain application' is that also why Skiff [0] exists and supports using ENS for identities and will still work even after Skiff shuts down? [1]?

The region adjacent to the lakes is not immune to drought. There were widespread crop failures a few years ago.
Rather than viewing it as “trustless” you can view it as “trust minimized”. Then it might make more sense. Trust with your counterparty falls on a spectrum.

You trust your friend, but maybe not an anonymous online individual. So you might use the blockchain to accept payments from the anonymous individual whereas with your friend, you might accept a check or Venmo.
>With the fediverse, I think people need to drop the notion that they expect people they already know to be on the platform.

It's the same at the beginning of every social network. When I joined Twitter or Facebook early, I did not expect to find people I knew either. People are probably joining instances where their friends are already registered, unless you're the first among your circles.

Also, you can be logged into multiple instances at the same time – just like you're probably connected to a personal and a work mailbox.
learning anything exercises your learning abilities and they get stronger. if we ever truly understand "learning ability" it's bound to include things like confidence and perseverance among other things. I feel like this basic intuition is behind every "links to cognitive abilities" study I've ever seen, even the recent one about daily drinkers (who probably just don't exercise their minds as much)

The countries you mention pay employee taxes and VAT in the countries where they operate (employ or sell). This is huge in comparison with the profit tax, so operating from Luxemburg is shaving a few percent of the overall total, nothing more. Each other state gets their part in full. What California does is very, very different.
To be honest, I don't use kill ring anyway, but would probably be a good thing for me to learn about in my regular emacs work.
One way to look at it, assuming you already have the mortgage, is you can now buy a fixed rate bond that lasts the remaining term of the mortgage, at the rate of the mortgage.

Ignoring income taxes, paying $10k down on a 5% mortgage with 25 years remaining is the same as purchasing a $10k bond at 5% that matures in 25 years.

One downside, is that pre-paying your mortgage doesn't change the cash-flow immediately, it just changes the end date of the mortgage.
>Why aren't we logging into everywhere with public keys, if the technology is so old? Well, it's not because we didn't have blockchain technology before, but because decentralized identity was not the goal before.

Let's not gloss over that key management is a hard problem, even for technical people, and that's a major reason this has not been particularly practical. FWIW this is also a problem for most blockchain based technologies.
I want to make clear that I don't believe I was banned by a mod. I received enough downvotes that I was shadow banned by the automated system.
Current US employment and business laws are not set up well for remote work at all. Several states say different things about this, and there is probably going to be a reckoning on this subject soon.
I got the sense the author wanted to construct an example that would be so obvious as to be laughable. But I immediately thought of Christina Hoff Sommers' claim that feminism has changed to the point that she believes she now looks like an outsider because of it.

Is it the truth, or PR? I agree it's annoying that this narrative is so common, but if I spent all my time getting angry about that kind of PR I wouldn't have time to do anything else. I think we just have to bear it and trust people to dig to find out the truth.

Alternatively, we can also just not care too deeply about the answer and blithely ask on HN-- can someone in the know tell me if David French complains about a specific denomination of Christians, or Christians as a whole? If it is a specific denomination, where do I go to find out a) what a critical mass of that specific denomination thinks about the world, and b) what a critical mass of that specific denomination does about the members of their church that seem to be trolling the rest of us?
I feel like most of the reasonable outrage is on how the chickens were culled and the treatment of the workers. If pumping the barn full of CO2 is an option, why not use nitrogen instead? Painless death whereas CO2 causes pain. Giving thousands of chickens deadly heatstroke seems inhumane as well. 104F isn't going to kill a virus so it's just going to cause pain like heatstroke in humans. Its unfortunate that they had to kill so many birds but it seems entirely necessary given the risks of avian flu. As for the workers, culling a significant number of your livestock is going to mean there will be a significant number of workers no longer needed although I'm sure this will be temporary until the facility is back to normal capacity. The state government needs to make sure that these workers can receive unemployment payments until they can find new work or their jobs reopen since laying off that many people at one rural location is going to have significant impact on the community.
The goal is not avoiding chicken cruelty, is stopping a outbreak virus and saving millions of domestic birds and wildlife. They were obliged by law to do it, want it or not, and is for yesterday. And you need to sterilize the enclosures also.

We talk about extreme measures but we shouldn't ignore that the problem was also extremely difficult to address.

I'm more than open to discusse any ideas about how to do this task while making happy also the cruelty animal crew.

It should be on the employee to pay the relevant tax on the income they receive, anything past that is outside the state's jurisdiction, as the company has no physical presence or business there. A government doesn't have the power to enforce its laws beyond its borders, without specific agreements in place. Does every state have the relevant agreement with the state of California to allow it to enforce its laws on their territory? Can the state of California even sue someone that never entered their jurisdiction?

Can you explain in what sense LVT is the most efficient form of tax? I do understand that normally when you tax something malleable you get less of it so it's often best to tax things that aren't malleable. But what precisely is LVT more efficient at? Does it generate the fewest negative externalities per unit of tax revenue? If so, how do we evaluate between different types of externality?

Have we accounted for the fact that with LVT it's possible to get less tax revenue from land becoming vacant because the taxes become too high for users?

I quit in middle school due to a combination of it feeling like a chore, feeling like it was too "nerdy" during that age, and not really liking the teaching style of the instructor we found after moving. Definitely regret it now; I've since developed some joint issues in my fingers that make it difficult to play, and often wonder if sticking with it would have helped prevent that. Or potentially just made it worse I guess, no way to know really.

> but I'm also trying to figure out how to navigate the right amount of influence I should try and put on them to focus on music themselves.

Looking back, I've found the best thing that encouraged me and my siblings growing up was the interest and positive support my parents showed towards all of our interests. My mom would always comment on how much she liked hearing me play, even though I'm sure she was as sick of hearing the same song for the 800th time as I was. She was also super interested in the little gadgets I'd hack together when that started peeking my interest even if she didn't understand them at all. My dad made a point of always seeing if I wanted to help work on our cars when the mechanical aspect fascinated me, etc. And of course they remained supportive whenever our interests changed as we got older.
Looks like each flight is 10-20 seconds and you get 5-8 flights[1] which is like 90 seconds of flight? Additional batteries are 20 bucks so I guess they're going with making it easy to swap batteries rather than giving it a long flight time.

Ask HN: Local Development Environment with Containers
Good morning, we are working to migrate our microservices to containers by the end of the year.

How do developers work with containers in their local development environment? What workstation are you using? What IDE? What kind of software are you running locally? Is it even necessary to have all developers working with containers locally?

We are going to be using OpenShift and Podman.

I am part of the team leading the charge. We will eventually have to roll this out to a couple hundred developers and what to get an idea of what people are doing.

Thank you!
No quad-rotor drone battery this size can last for hours; it's just not possible with the specific energy available in batteries. If the entire drone were a battery (i.e. the rotors and housing were mass-less), it could last 45 mins. I expect battery life to be around 20 mins.
The "right time to buy" is way more important based on your personal circumstances than almost any other consideration. Until you're sure you want to be in the same area for 10+ years, I wouldn't even bother considering buying, let alone determining which house you want to live in for 10+ years.

Which is why you often see houses being purchased by new families, the kids are the first thing that really begins to put down roots (as you don't want to move them from their school/friends).
"They become nurses because it's a relatively easy (two years at a CC) to become an RN, and the pay is pretty good."

I see you didn't bother to read the article.

I have no problem with California exercising its sovereignty over its own citizens. The employee in question should have been protected by California laws, being a resident of California.

What the article's author relates is California asserting sovereignty over an entity that has no nexus or revenue derived from California. This is the overreach and should be outright banned at the Federal level, otherwise there's nothing stopping a state from passing a law that requires companies to pay $30,000 tax for the next five years for every employee that vacations in that state. Do we really want to stomp small businesses with having to know the business tax codes for all fifty states in this age of remote work? I think not.

It's about as stupid as the five states in the US that decide they can impose income tax on non-citizens of those states if the employer resides in that state.
1. This "employee" is in a very high position and makes $17 million/year.

My friend's boss won't let them use git because he doesn't want to switch to a "trendy" technology. Yes, git is still "trendy" in 2022 according to this person. I had never heard of the vc they currently use but my friend was not too keen on it to say the least.

Ironic how sometimes people embedded in tech can be the biggest luddites.
Most increases in land value are for the construction of infrastructure and other investments which make people more productive and increase wages, so while land values increase that investment increases wages also, meaning that it shouldn't have much of an effect on people's ability-to-pay.
I think for short proofs that fit in a GPT-style NLP predictor's input, it could produce an initial list of likely "next steps" which could be further scored by the adversarially-trained scoring model which has some intuition for which proof search strategies are likely to work, the combination allowing each model to have different areas of expertise (NLP being technically competent locally and the scorer providing global judgement). The entire proof search would correspond to a single play in AlphaGo with proof search happening entirely within the monte-carlo exploration of likely next-steps as opposed to a sequence of plays as in Go, and play only happening when an automatic proof-checker validates the final proof. Automatic proof-checking could also prune syntactically invalid continuations from the monte-carlo search tree, and probably provide some similar optimizations.

My guess is that such a model would learn to compose a collection of lemmas that score as useful, produce sub-proofs for those, and then combine them into the final proof. This still mimics a sequence of plays closely enough that the scoring model could recognize "progress" toward the goal and predict complementary lemmas until a final solution is visible.

It may even work for very long proofs by letting it "play" a portion of its early lemmas which remain visible to the scorer but the proof sequence is chunked into as many pieces as the NLP needs to see it all and backtracking behind what was output is no longer possible. Once a lemma and its proof are complete it can be used or ignored in the future proof but modifying it sounds less useful.

That link is to a panel Rob Pike participated in at the same conference.

Also, the idea that Good Will Hunting is "very serious" also misses the mark. So much of why that movie worked is because it interleaved humor throughout:

Dying from CO2 inhalation is painful although CO inhalation is less so. Nitrogen inhalation is entirely pain free. Although I'm sure it's more expensive since CO and CO2 can easily be produced with common materials.
I've done all kinds of stuff too, and agree that Go is pretty good to "get things done", especially networking. But I don't know about best. Maybe ten years ago when a static binary was important, but now that everything is deployed as a container, that's off the table and things like Python or Kotlin are equally deployable, but way easier to use. Nowadays, if you _really_ need a single binary, you probably also need it to be tiny. Cramming an entire GC and runtime into the executable doesn't seem much different than building a container to me.
This might have a min-size component, but forbidding a Quebec resident from working in French is a Bad Thing. Language laws are onerous enough that some companies do not do business in or even deliver to Quebec. And their websites block transactions accordingly.

Linux is not unique here. In the longterm, all the typical desktop OSs will need significant structural changes far beyond 'chase vulnerabilities and patch everything all the time'.
