This just doesn’t make sense from a financial standpoint. It seems doubtful the money recovered covers the cost of the audits.
In theory, a very large staker could run a large share of the network, exit (either normally or get slashed), then rewind the chain prior to the exit, run it on their own independently, and then pop up after a while with a competing fork. This makes syncing from the beacon chain's genesis risky because you could end up following the attacker's fork.

To make up for this risk, Ethereum then relies on distributing recent 'weak subjectivity' snapshots (through other known nodes, block exploers, baked into client releases, etc) to make sure new folks can join the legitimate network and ignore an attacker's. Those snapshots basically rely on social legitimacy to help folks get going with the 'legitimate' chain. It is a trust assumption.

In contrast (at least in theory), in a proof of work network you can 'objectively' determine which of competing forks of a chain is the legitimate one by a simple metric, the 'longest chain with the highest difficulty'. The presumption made here though is that you will have an open internet and honest client software that will not censor the legitimate chain. A trust assumption is still made that those that introduce you to the p2p network aren't hiding a longer chain from you.
There are a lot of extras that appear happen in food waste i.e., plastics, paper etc.

In industrial settings this is not easy to filter out, so pigs end up consuming more of these non food waste products more than they would in small farms or feed-fed pigs.

I highly doubt that the laser links will be solely used to provide oceanic coverage for maritime users.

One of the major contraints on adding new users is SpaceX getting approval for and building new ground terminals in areas of high demand. I expect that balancing the load between ground terminals and bypassing congested cables will be a significant use-case for these laser links.

As such, I don't think it is the use of laser links that will determine the pricing of consumer maritime service when it comes.

U.K. has weak data protections, facilitates U.S. spying, doesn't even offer access to the real internet any more (they run a firewall and mandate various other kinds of nannying), and, generally, seems like it's sliding down the path towards some sort of oppressive surveillance state.

3) I need to be able to pay with cryptocurrency, ideally Monero.

I wanted containers for the following things:

- Minimal host system requirements as kernel tool chains can be very much a pain to set up correctly. If I want to compile different kernel versions for different architectures this seemed liked a good trade-off.
- I wanted to encapsulate every major logic component into a separate instance so working on the individual components does not require building one insanely large image.

Also note this is very much an early prototype and me just experimenting. Nothing is set in stone yet. Things are likely to change along the way.
Water Resistant Mark
As the article states the "audits" are for the most part (~85% of the time) a letter sent to the person asking them to provide documentation for something.

I would think most people think of an audit as having to meet in person with an IRS representative going over their taxes.
Sorry but the typing part is incorrect. Look at the signature of from_fn:

pub fn from_fn<T, const N: usize, F>(cb: F) -> [T; N]
where
F: FnMut(usize) -> T,

It takes a function with signature f(usize) -> T. So |i| i gets inferred to be a function taking a usize, and returning a usize (since we just give the argument straight back). So it infers [usize; 5] in the end.

For example core::array::from_fn(|i| i) == [0i32] wouldn't even compile.

Being downvoted is not equal to government prosecution. You can be told people don't like your opinion and just say so, compared to having police knock on your door over it. I don't agree with what the guy from the article is advocating, but I do agree that he should not be prosecuted/arrested for what he did.
The Kobo book store is smaller than Amazon's, but still huge. The UI may look different, but it is still the same process of search/browse, buy/preview. Either on the web site or from the device.

I went to college with a guy who ended up being a successful stand-up (multiple Netflix specials - level). He wasn't terribly funny in college - his brother was much, much funnier. Also watching his first bits on TV - first late night basic cable, then Letterman and Leno and then eventually his specials, he was not good at first and he was not a natural.

My big takeaway from that was that comedy, like many, many things is a skill that can be improved on with hard work. Undoubtedly there is some element of innate talent, but it is far less than I would have imagined before.

I'd guess that audits of the poor finds *less* but can be completed swiftly; if there is any quotas requiring X audits/month of IRS accountants, are you going to choose the 1040EZ or the tax filing with 50+ pages of mumbojumbo?

I don't care. They can use OSes designed for their needs, like macOS and Windows.

Not sure why there is such a persistent idea that "everyone using Linux, including entirely non-technical users who just want an appliance" is actually a desirable or realistic goal.
I agree that it’s annoying that so much junk accumulates in the root of your home dir.

But any consumer-facing OS will need some sort of mechanism of hiding/protecting configuration files/logs/etc. from deletion by clueless users, like how macOS has started hiding ~/Library by default.

Goldman Sachs actually moved to a neutrino beam between London and NYC.
If we were to try to assess fairness, wouldn't it make sense to also take effects and side-effects into account? Say a disproportionate amount of poor families cheat, but also end up on the street after an audit, either not able to pay any outstanding taxes, or having paid them and no longer being able to afford a roof over their head. At the same time, while breaking the law should be the same for everyone else, wouldn't it also be more fair for small time violators to be treated less harsh, for example not having paid 100 dollars in tax vs. not having paid 1M.

At the end of the day, the enforcement is there for one reason: to make sure everyone pays for the shared facilities of society. If you catch someone who was supposed to pay 250.000 or catch 1000 someones who all had 100 outstanding tax, wouldn't it make more sense to focus on the big fish first?
Perhaps the idea of audits would discourage people from committing fraud in the first place.. so it may make sense

QT Signal speed isn't the problem. Focus on making your app fast. Then if that's not enough, make it appear fast. If your report generator takes 5 seconds to generate 400 pages, don't put up a meter to show percentage done. Instead, start showing the user the pages that have already been generated. They won't care that there's 2 more seconds to wait, because they can already start seeing pages.
> It's not. Tinder and okcupid released shocking data that confirmed it.

If the claim was that 80% of women on dating apps are sharing the top 20% of men on dating apps, I could believe it. But that's missing something huge: "Men represent approximately 62% of dating app users". Women are a minority on dating apps, despite being equal in population. They're significantly underrepresented. So dating apps don't even explain the situation of the majority of women.
The article misses the thing that most people will have problems with - generating leads, getting a proposition agreed and selling that to the wider organisation and budget holder.

That’s the hardest part of running a professional services business by a factor of 10.

I think this statistic may be misleading. The article states that most of these are "correspondence audits", described as "essentially a letter from the IRS asking for documentation on a specific line item on a return."

The headline statistics gives the impression that the IRS spends proportionally more money and effort on auditing poor families. But sending out a letter is easy and cheap. I realize now that the total number of audits may not be a good proxy for cost and effort if not all audits involve an IRS agent coming to your house and trying to guess the value of your artwork.

I agree completely. I used to have an iPad mini nearby but once the phones got bigger I didn't really need it anymore and, like you said, if I'm actually going to do real work I'm moving to my MBP.

Apple has a long history of not necessarily being the first to use a new tech but the first to do it right/well. Of course there are examples of them failing/stumbling (Homepod comes to mind among others) but I'm very much looking forward to their "take" on a folding device. Right now it feels a little gimmicky and there is a potentially that we simply leapfrog that tech and use something better (AR?).
The reason for this is almost entirely the Earned Income Tax Credit.

The IRS estimates 21-26% of all EITC claims are improper. The rules are quite complex, which results in more errors and it is relatively straightforward for the IRS to detect certain classes of mistake or fraud through automation (i.e. to detect if the same child was claimed as a dependent by two different people on their return).

Congress made the EITC complex. EITC errors/fraud cost the public purse $10-20bn a year. Is the IRS just supposed to ignore that?
From the article:

> A large increase in federal income tax audits targeting the poorest wage earners allowed the Internal Revenue Service to keep overall audit numbers from further declines for Americans as a whole during FY 2021.

I'm guessing low-income people are, for a bunch of reasons including having simpler finances and ~no ability to hire legal counsel or other outside help, way cheaper to audit than those with more money are.

This passage suggests they shifted focus there to keep their total-audits number from dropping even further. The IRS is experiencing a many-years-long deliberately-inflicted severe staffing shortage. IOW this was probably done to keep a metric someone cared about from dropping without requiring more funding, not because it's efficient or just or anything like that.
What's bad about the advice? It seems to flow pretty logically from the article.

"Women want to date men who are emotionally available, good communicators, and who share values" means that your starting point to search for a relationship should be that you are emotionally available, good at communicating, and you have a clear concept of your values so that you can determine whether or not you share them with a potential partner. The advice to get to that state is "focus on mental health, including getting therapy if you need it" - that all seems correct to me.

It's not relevant for getting dates, but getting dates is easy. It's extremely relevant for any stage of a relationship, including the early ones.
In that case, I would point out that trying to extrapolate a rate of civil wars from black swan events seems almost impossible. It's happened one time in US history (two if you want to count the American Revolution).

And how do these people's preparations help in the event of a civil war?
Not sure that really follows. Is the goal of the audit to punish the maximum number of people or recover the maximum amount of money? If the latter, then it doesn't make much sense to spend most of your effort assessing $400 penalties.
I don't really play games these days, but I was looking at non-bullshit games[0] one evening to see if there was something fun to put on my kids' tablets, and stumbled upon this. When I looked up from the screen because the dog was barking, five hours had passed. Caveat emptor.

The "why" most certainly comes first, but we have a funny tendency to move the "why" around. Someone may choose to become a welder because he wants to get paid, then to move out of his parents' house, then to get married.

There's a type of "API-ization" of all existence. 15 people can do the exact same thing with nearly opposite objectives and all be a "team" (such as what we see large-scale in politics) or have the exact same "why" with 15 ways to do it and be "disunified" (i.e., the Linux community).

The secret to staying motivated, which nonrandomstring pointed to, is finding a way to bundle all those fluctuating "why's" together toward 1 purpose. It makes you manic and obsessive, but determined and implacable on a death march to a glorious prize. My discouragement was likely because I needed sleep and wasn't de-stressing correctly, then applying it wrongly to what I love doing.

I don’t have the citations to back it up, but you get to the crux of it with shifting expectations of women. It feels (from all of the data I’ve consumed) like there is a shift away from needing a companion, marriage, or children for a substantial cohort of women (and instead, prioritization of self actualization, career, and more tenuous relationships in varying degrees), leading to a cohort of men who will be left without a partner. My hunch is that this is because it’s normalizing at a societal level (and a woman not following the traditional life script no longer carries the social penalty it once did).

I think he very accurately described the problem Go is trying to solve which is how do you make new grads productive?

In my experience at AWS people that graduated didn't understand the languages we used. This leads to a bunch of problems, and makes it's easy to write very bad, unmaintainable code. Lots of needless class hierarchies in Java, or a misunderstanding of `this` in JavaScript. Go solves the problem perfectly.
This may explain why (it is from the National Taxpayer Advocate Erin M. Collins' annual report to congress):

The IRS correspondence audit process is structured to expend the least amount of resources to conduct the largest number of examinations – resulting in the lowest level of customer service to taxpayers having the greatest need for assistance.
Is this really a fallout that the poorest families are more than five times more likely to do their own taxes instead of hiring a tax professional? Most audits are to account for sloppy bookkeeping or not attaching the correct documentation, not uncovering tax fraud schemes. (but many good tax fraud schemes look like bad bookkeeping, to be fair).
We use both MemoryStore and normal instances.
The latter for a use case where the data is shardable and so we run a redis process on each core and the client picks the right one. It saves a lot of money over using MemoryStore.

It also saves you from Google performing maintenance on the machine and deleting all your Lua scripts.

KeyDB is becoming increasingly popular though.

The biggest problem with Redis, at least in C++ land, is the client libraries. hiredis doesn’t support Redis Cluster, and other 3rd party clients that do are of unknown quality.
