Let me rephrase: there are no taxes paid for mere employment; instead, taxation for social security is shared between employer and employee.

Saying that governments “hide taxes from workers by taxing the employer” is inaccurate at best. Taxation is shared, and there aren’t dedicated taxes for employers.
Yep, I wouldn't expect the transition to have occurred overnight. But after several decades of experience in automotive applications, I'd think the GA fleet could have been adapted by now if the industry had taken it seriously.

I also realize that the regulatory regime has stifled progress. It seems a bit better now, but it may be too late.
No, because minor increases in labor costs don't change the math much. Amazon is already spending billions to improve automation, these people are doing the jobs that they cannot reasonably automate. If you assume a magic "develop automation faster" button, companies like Amazon are already paying as many people as possible to mash it around the clock. Why wouldn't they?

You could just as well argue that increased labor costs due to unions means Amazon will be forced to spend less on developing automation, since they don't have the budget for it.

No, I mean the population of the "dating pool." For example, if a "dating pool" consists of 10 men and 1 woman, and the woman enters into a monogamous relationship with one of the men, we can say that "the top 10% of men of this dating pool are dating 100% of the women."
What I always fail to understand about these situations is why an incumbent firm wouldn't latch on to this to beat out their competitors.

You can see this in energy companies' hesitation to accept and invest in renewable energy. Until the last few years they all stayed far far away from it.

Perhaps this is all the result of their existing vested interests - but I'm constantly surprised just how little these massive incumbents resist new ideas that really can instead give them a competitive advantage against their peers.
Is that targeted harassment? No? Then it probably doesn't violate the ToS.

Yes exactly, exceptions are much much nastier returns. Returns only go up exactly 1 frame, and the call/return pairs are balanced no matter what. Exceptions can unwind the entire stack, and the throw/catch pairs aren't balanced automatically. Returns of a single function own their call sites, nobody jumps to their call site except them, but a single catch accept every single throw from arbitrarily deep into the stack.

Exceptions are an entire call/return system hidden beneath the vanilla call/return system, with less thought in the design and more foot guns.

>I don't follow your reasoning here

Okay forget it, it was a somewhat subjective point, my main point is as above, exceptions are extremely spicy returns, they interact dangerously with the regular call/return system and scoping. That's essentially all of what objections to exceptions boil down to, and it's a legitimate reason to hate and avoid them.
I've been really impressed by turn-by-turn directions for walking (especially with the Apple Watch integration).

I haven't tried bike directions, but I'd imagine getting those right is tough in every state Apple doesn't have developers living in. So much of things like bike paths aren't mapped well in general. Even looking at OSM open source/crowdsourced data in my local area the bike maps miss obvious paths and include ones that are suboptimal and you still need a lot of local knowledge even when the data was already supposedly crowdsourced from local knowledge in the wiki fashion of OSM.

(Apple credits OSM and seems to have a direct pipeline from parts of OSM data maybe including features like Bike Paths, so I bring up OSM for the other reason that have you checked the OSM data looks accurate enough for your area? Correcting OSM data would be useful for our collective open data, and may indirectly make Apple Maps better in your personal situation.)
Tetris: Facts You Need to Know About the Game’s History
Biggest desktop organization hacks

- Asymmetric desk

- Shift your workspace to your non dominant hand side. This frees up space for reference material, and for writing on your dominant hand. When I previously worked on site, it was also a great place for having other engineers bring their laptop to sit next to me while we were working together.

- Under desk mount everything. This saves space and indirectly causes your compute hardware to collect less dust.

- You can 3d print rails for a laptop so you can mount it under your desk

- You can purchase under desk mounts for large desktops. I have two computers under my desk. One gaming pc and my work macbook.

- You can also 3d print mounts for things like dacs, and amps to save even more space

- USB C hub + usb switch or kvm

- As above I switch between my work and gaming pc with a switch

- You don't need multiple monitors, your switching technique is just wrong (if this doesn't mesh with you, that's okay, maybe I'm wrong :) )

- Keyboard maestro + activate application + 1 / 3 splits of windows is all you need on a decently sized monitor: 27 - 32. Being able to hit hyper key + letter to bring up or hide an application makes viewing things trivial.

- Bonus points if you map your 1/3 splits to keyboard maestro.

- Get a face light for calls. It makes a huge difference in image quality.

- Drill a hole in your desk in front of your keyboard

- You can put any wires directly into the hole vs running them uncomfortably to the edge of the desk.

- You don't have to use your stand desk only for standing. You can also have settings for writing height so you're still sitting but you have a more comfortable setup for extended periods.

- Use a split ortho linear keyboard. Push your chair in as close to the desk as possible so you don't have any breaks between your elbows and the board.

- Once a week, on Friday, make time to clean your desk. Organize it for your future self, so Monday you feel good coming to execute on work.

- Make it obvious. Put things that are habit based in front of you. You'll be surprised how much easier flossing becomes by doing this.

- Put your medication on your desk in front of you

- Put flossing material in front of you

History, like language, is a tool. It is a tool that can be used for seeding a conceptual framework in the minds of the readers. It may be for political purposes, for entertainment purposes or for academic purposes. Facts, when artfully pieced together, can be used to tell many, many different stories.

When I read history for entertainment, I always read several books by different authors to find the gist of the history described in those books. But even then, I know that the source materials themselves are most likely flawed, biased, incomplete and generally unreliable.

History is important, but one has to do battle with it to gain anything useful.

Redefining MVPs: A faster way to derisk new product ideas
Every human being is exceptional. You won't convince me otherwise. We are all unique and have something to offer. Your kind of thinking is anti-human and leads to a world where the only options for people in work and society are what someone else has already decided is best for them. I'd rather live my life according to my principals instead of getting the same serving given to everyone else. When I am forced to join a union agency is ripped away from me and given to the collective.

Not everyone has the same beliefs and values as you do, so perhaps a little humility is in order.
Germany's Garbage Is Getting Dirtier Due to the Energy Crisis
Emails show The White House coordinating with Big Tech on censorship policy
You are absolutely correct and worse the more this tech is used to actually solve cases the fewer crooks will carry their phones and many crimes aren't pinpointed neatly in time.

We will know that sometime between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning someone robbed a location and due to imperfection of GPS signals your suspects will include dozens of people including people who walked by 2 streets over. Over time your suspect list will be less and less likely to contain the criminal but it will statistically likely contain at least a few who got in trouble previously especially minorities who can be threatened with 10 to 20 years in jail in order to make them accept 6 months -> probation or risk facing a jury of mostly white people. You can then successfully close tons of cases without finding any actual criminals, doing any real work, or even risking court.

And your local businesses get unpaid slave labor rented to them cheap. What a goddamn paradise. All we need is some cotton that needs picking you know or a soul and a shred of decency.

Hello! I just wanted to comment from the views of a transgender person.

Transgenderism is not really verbiage we use and seems to be used by mostly anti-trans people, same with the word transgendered.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) are life long, though they are not super expensive compared to other drugs.

Surgery is expensive, though if you have good insurance it is not that bad. Mine costed around 5k USD.

Currently only about 2% of the population in the US identifies as transgender and while most of us expect the number to be higher, I doubt we would see anything over 5 percent.
> Until a transit strike paralyzes it.

People have had protests in the middle of a free way, so human action resulting in paralyzed transportation isn't novel. Storms, car crashes etc have "paralyzed" roads. Bridges have fallen into water ways paralyzing transit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-5_Skagit_River_bridge_collap...

> Or until government decides to shut it down Covid-style...

If you have widely used public transportation, then it can't be shut down. The public won't allow it. It goes from infrastructure to critical infrastructure. You would probably see enforced mask mandates.

If you have public transportation used by the middle or upper class, the tolerance for homeless and drugs will decrease.

> Last thing in the world...

And this is the fundamental selfishness. You want to rob cities of economies of scale so they can subsidize your posh suburban life style. Meanwhile, there's a whole bunch of people just like you, and the end result is hour long commutes for 20 minute's of distance or 10 lane freeways that somehow seem to be some of the most clogged in the nation. You have bad experiences with American "public transportation" but probably haven't experienced functional transportation. Your point to point trip in a city could be unencumbered by the spectre of traffic.

> I also don’t want to walk multiple blocks during heat waves, storms, or snow.

If you travel to Asia, you will find that functional transportation often comes with sprawling subterranean complexes or covered walkways. Even when it doesn't there are umbrellas for sale everywhere.

You still have to park and travel from your parking to your destination. I don't know about you, but that's frequently been blocks of walking for me in any city.

American public transportation is bad. It's not reasonable to point to our bad transportation and say public transportation as an idea is bad. It is a vastly more pleasant experience in other places.

Nix is source-first, but with binary cache. Many things have to be installed again on non-NixOS because nix is hermetic - it can't use library X from underlying system, it has to come from nix store.

It's rare for road cyclists to cruise at 22 mph. That takes a pretty high level of fitness.

I wonder what would change in the criminal legal system if all warrant applications must be counter-argued by a public-defender-like-role. I suspect the "defender" would just end being an always-ignored voice in the room, at least based on my understanding of post-patriot-act America.
Also, the headline is misleading.

The issue wasn't the anti-trans rant; Valve specifically called out the fact that the patch notes included personal attacks.

The second one looks ergonomically terrible. The chair has no adjustments, the desk is a writing desk and not a computer desk, and there's no proper keyboard or mouse. Surely nobody can work like that for a long time without getting injured.
“Outrage”.

Your qualification of my emotions is way off.

2.4% when talking tonnes may be a small percent relative to the “big picture” but it’s not 0 tonnes, it has an impact, and production of machines to produce planes, production of more planes to keep up with rising demand are not included in that 2.4%. Leisure travel across the planet is not exactly a requirement for the survival of the species.

It’s still pushing our choices onto future humans.

Since statistics are what matters to you; you’re one of seven billion; your perspective is not that important.

Probably best to avoid overly reductive rhetoric, the basis of which (statistical relevance) can be easily used against you. More co2 is released in service of the airline industry than just planes flying. The world is not made of singular statistical objects in a vacuum.
You can click either of the numbers, or the operator, in the row to remove them.
I just looked at their website and one of their stated goals is “Governments must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.”

This is not a serious organization, it’s useless fantasy. There is no scenario where net emissions are zero by 2025 outside of intentionally plunging the entire globe into unimaginable poverty. This isn’t going to happen because there is no scenario where people sign up for that, and if anyone tried there would be war. Their game is a distraction that takes away from people who are serious about real approaches to get to net zero on a realistic timeline.

Comparing these people - who again state their goal as turning off human civilization - to Rosa Parks is a bit much.

It depends. There can be an upside to quitting.
Yes. But it is becoming increasingly difficult with "smart" or "connected" devices. Sometimes you have to fill forms to access services or agree with EULA's with abusive terms. If you disagree with the terms, you become ostracized because everybody else from your circles accepted those terms and nobody is using your open-source/decentralized/federated network or services.

You can't expect common people to be reasonable and spontaneously boycott abusive vendors. Most people are not educated enough for that. Among those who are, most don't care.

We need laws to prevent this kind of abuse so vendors can't take advantage of people who are willing to share such information even if they are knowledgeable about its implications.
Correct. "Our values" used to mean "civil liberties." That's what the "CL" in the name means.

Now it apparently means "subscribes to currently trendy theories of social justice."
That's quite... overpowered for what it does, considering that the majority of BT speakers are usually based around a dedicated SoC with a few hundred MHz of CPU and at most several MB of RAM.
Somehow you seem to think asking questions that confuse people is the most effective way to spread knowledge. It's no surprise someone who implicitly believes learning is privilege for some subset of the population does not enjoy or appreciate the host of a show forcing PhD's (from all viewpoints) to dumb down their points to a general audience.

Unless you are an expert in every field of every guest, you have no room to patronize. Joe absolutely asks good questions and and receives and considers contradictory information, as any casual listener knows.
It's very usable now, at least in the states, and I'm glad there's a viable competitor. However it's going to be an uphill battle again Google given the tight integration of Google Maps to the rest of its suite (Calendar, Search, etc.) and the fact that it has a Web UI.

I think the claim "that's my biggest contribution to X" is fine, if you feel like that was what you think is the biggest contribution you made to X.

Where it starts to feel wrong, would be if you somehow started claiming "I suggested it first. It's because of me it's there. You're welcome", when you merely suggested the feature, not implemented or drove it to be implemented.

It is their doing - they started the series of events. It's other people's doings ALSO. This sentence doesn't imply exclusivity, it just doesn't say others did stuff. Fortunately the entire rest of the document, particularly the part I highlighted above, makes it very clear:

1. what their doing is in more specific detail

2. what others' doings are in more specific detail

I'm going to assume that the author included all that additional detail in the document on purpose, and with the intent of clarifying what "That's my doing" entails. It seems pretty unlikely that your hypothesis of "the person is claiming the whole thing is their doing and accidentally wrote a whole bunch of words undermining that simple sentence" is the right one.
There was a push a while back to call it bank fraud. Because the banks are the victims and should be responsible to protect/insure themselves.

By calling it identity theft, we are saying individuals are the victims and should protect the banks from someone pretending to be them.

Edit:
I also believe there was an argument that banks reporting to credit agencies based on fraudulent activity from a 3rd party should be treated as libel.
If a candidate were to say “that’s my doing” when describing the outcome of a prior team project, and language barriers weren’t a mitigating factor, I would consider that a significant red flag for ego. Not a crime, and a reasonable exaggeration in many circumstances. But I wouldn’t want someone communicating that way in a professional capacity on an engineering team.

Amateurs. Samsung's identity system was f*ed even before this. Only Lenovo/Motorola were worse. _Of course_ they got hacked: they were a big fat (in a purely metaphorical sense), stupid, target. The entire executive suite and board should be swept out and replaced. But that won't happen because those few have a lock on the majority of shares by either owning them outright or being golf partners with the like-minded idiot rest. Their main focus now, as always, is to deflect blame and preserve their positions. Does not inspire confidence in the future of anything. No wonder they can't get the simple things right, like providing clean water to Flint or Jackson. The clowns have taken over the bus and are driving it right over a cliff.
