From the linked article[0] in the first paragraph:

> Although Apple isn’t named in the city staff report, the company is Cupertino’s largest source of sales tax revenue. According to the audit, revenue will drop to $11.4 million in the current fiscal year from $42.1 million, and Cupertino may be required to return money to the state that it has received in previous years. The city may have to cut staff and other spending to cover the shortfall.

So I think the 73% number reflects whatever chagnes CDFTA are enforcing to take some of the online sales tax revenue away from Cupertino. Also from that other article, the $107m number appears to reflect total payments from Cupertino to Apple since 1998

> The company remits all sales tax it receives to the state tax department, which then allocates the local portion to Cupertino. The city passes on 35% of its total to Apple. Those payments to Apple have added up to $107.7 million since 1998, according to city payment records examined by Bloomberg Tax.

But TFA is very unclear about the specifics of the state-city-company revenue sharing...

R&E expenses were fully deductible since 1954.

"Extend" is a bit of a misnomer because there was no expiration date. Rather, the The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 made a change, effective 2022.
That is where we disagree. I don't see any morality or ethical framework (existent or as-yet-invented) as capable of capturing reality. They can certainly imitate it to varying degrees (even to the level of usefulness in many cases). But they can never capture reality, and I would consider anyone who rigidly adheres to one as a dangerous fool.

Direct air capture should be a Manhattan Project. We should spend a trillion dollars on it like we did with the atom bomb. Preaching climate piety is not going to work. The world is not going to conservation its way to mitigating climate change, not when there are billions of people in China, India, and Africa who dream of living like people in Texas.

Nonsense. The SEC, like all regulatory agencies, provides legal guidance and interpretations in order that people may follow the law. Here is a link to them doing just that: https://www.sec.gov/rules/interp.shtml
Most of these devices are running Linux, so I would say the fact manufacturers are not shipping "the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable" at time of sale or promptly upon request, is illegal already.

The GPL2 actually foresaw developers failing to ship critical bits that are required to run the software. There's just little will to enforce it.
> Or to a manual load balancing strategy. What I have in mind is being able to easily re-direct users from one server to another using a simple CLI utility. This won't entirely eliminate downtime issues but it will (hopefully) mitigate effects to a manageable level.

In practice, this means that each time a server goes down someone has to be on-call to run a command to redirect them. It's also breaking your utilization-based sharding scheme.

> In the era of cloud computing, downtime has become less of an issue.

Well, yes and no. Downtime is less frequent because of robust, automated load balancing. Individual servers, whether VMs or containers or whatever you prefer, are far less reliable. That's intentional. It's cheap commodity hardware, designed to die, and 'cloud native' applications are supposed to handle that properly via things like automated load balancing.

> I like attempting to simplify supposedly complicated issues ... It's true that all requests are not equal but statistically, over time, with all servers being similar, the differences will tend to balance out.

This is an example of one of those simplifications that seems intuitive but just doesn't work. It is completely normal for there to be multiple orders of magnitude differences in request cost, between customers, and at different times. Even if you assume that your application is static (which it hopefully isn't), customer workloads are not. Their behavior will change, which means your sharding needs to change. This is already solved by existing load balancing algorithms described in the linked article.

What problem do you see with existing solutions that you're trying to solve?
tagging wasn't meant as a way to organize information for other people. it was meant as a way to augment retrieval.

however, your suggested search system doesn't work - many people built these and they weren't right - because they don't encode whether or not the object had attention.
The plant thing is yet another obvious joke made at Stallman's expense. At MIT, Stallman was not seen as some kind of powerful figure whose authority people would be afraid to challenge. He was seen as an awkward irritating nerd many people made fun of (which seems to be missed by pretty much all of these "newcomers being warned about Stallman" reports). With so many of these accusations boiling down just to "people don't like nerds", it's hard to take them seriously. And when you add things like giving "pleasure cards" being interpreted as unwanted advances, it's just a painful to watch sad grotesque.
If you're the house, then you profit when you know where it's going. The bigger the move, the more profit you can make.
SEC doesn't give legal advice because they don't make the laws.

Want legal advice? Talk to a lawyer. But if your council tells you it's OK to push some boundaries then don't be surprised if you get slapped. And if you don't like getting slapped then you can go to court. Which is exactly what is happening. Seems like the system is working as intended.

The new Harry Potter game is a perfect example. They went around screaming the game and JK Rowling were causing 'real world harm to trans people' which of course was BS.

But the people trying to boycott the game couldn't leave it at that. They bullied and doxxed streamers just for enjoying a game without gender politics.

Because of perceived slights they resorted to becoming actual bullies.

As in, if there's a better qualified person available at the same price (or for that matter you're making two roles redundant and either of those people could do this one other role you have open, but you don't need both) do you really have to give it to the otherwise redundant person?

Also Golwalkar is 100% pro-nazi, he only went against them later for gains.

"German Race pride has now become the topic of the day. To keep up the purity of the race and its culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of the Semitic races -- the Jews. Race pride at its highest has been manifested here. Germany has also shown how well-nigh impossible it is for races and cultures, having differences going to the root, to be assimilated into one united whole, a good lesson for us in Hindusthan to learn and profit by."

The difference is that at least light pollution from the ground/cities you can at least get away from by going to remote places. The satellites you can't really do anything about, they'll appear no matter where you go, even in the middle of nowhere.
What is your exposure then? I don't think I've ever worked at a place that had any interesting in owning the office building they were located in. Usually, they are only interested in part of a building, and they don't want the bother of renting out the rest. In fact, as I said elsewhere in this thread, I worked at a place that built and sold a building, then leased it back, because they specifically did not want to own the real estate. They preferred to have a building management company take on the risk, taxes, and mortgage burden and were willing to pay a bit more in order to have that outcome.
GetFreeOS: Free and open source Linux operating system based on Arch
I've seen previous discussions about this on HN but there seemed to be disagreement about whether this change required developer salaries to be treated as R+D or only allowed it.

If this is really the way it works, defining some salaries as necessarily not being deductible from revenues, then it makes no sense for multiple reasons.

First the developers are still paying income tax on their salaries so that money is getting doubly taxed in the year the revenues are received.

Second the government generally seeks to encourage employment. This would have the exact opposite effect because any employee you hire who's doing software development would cost you (1 + 4/5) times their salary in the near term.

I wonder how much of the downturn in tech employment this year is being caused by this.
> The only reason I use Windows in 2023 is for video gaming. Every other non-gaming PC I own is running Linux.

It was the same for me until a month ago. Thanks to the recent developments of WINE and Proton, gaming on Linux has been reliable enough that I could switch entirely to Linux and not look back. Couldn't be happier about it.

Unless you only like to play the most recent AAA releases, I suggest you give it a try.

What should I spend money on to become a more effective software engineer?
I've been working at home for years before the pandemic. My current space is approximately the same dimensions as yours. I have a floating desk I built with dimensional lumber and plywood. It's floating so I don't have to jockey my chair around legs. I trimmed it with pine boards for aesthetics and topped it with some decent mdf so I could write on it.

Its a single corner desk 24" deep that's along two walls. To one side is paperwork and typical office supplies. The other acts as my bench and lab. On the bench side i have an 18" floating shelf a few feet above the desk.

My monitors and keyboard are mounted on arms in the corner so I can switch between the two quickly.

At sizes/number of items, where this holds true, maybe the choice of data structure is not as important. It becomes important, once the number of items in that collection increases and then always linearly scanning the whole array will become a problem. Just use the appropriate data structure and be safe in the future, taking a negligible hit for small input sizes.

Perhaps a possible drawback of such an arrangement could be that people change over time, and sometimes you just don't like the new person that they've become.

Maybe you were best friends with a guy 10 years ago. But gradually, the guy has changed fundamentally as a person, and you may not be as confortable with the guy as you used to be.

Hopelessly trying to continue the relationship would serve no purpose.

I have no experience with NextDNS, but with PiHole I can say it has been very "set and forget". Logged into the router, set the DNS server IP. Then into Windows to disable IPv6. Now it just runs in the background quietly for years. It can be set up to do updates automatically as well if desired.

I have occasionally disabled it, thinking it may have been the cause of some internet trouble, but so far that's never been true.

If TV wanted to send notifications for new things that I have access to, that could be helpful. Like the “New music from artists you follow” that Music does. Sending notifications for things that require you to sign up for a subscription is unsolicited marketing and I’d rather they didn’t spam notifications for that, in accordance with the policies that they make everyone else on their platform follow.

One thing I wish Apple would copy from Android is having apps categorize their different types of notifications and let you turn them on and off individually. And then enforce that in the App Store review. I don’t need Uber to send me Uber Eats offers, but I don’t want to block useful notifications by turning all of them off.

They recently added a “time sensitive” categorization that you can let break through Focus Mode rules, but IMO that’s not granular enough.

Professionally, I got in front of the people I needed to in Silicon Valley and flipped a couple startups with non-dilutive capital and got out. Probably stayed in SF one or two years longer than needed, but I was open to making that my identity at the time so I tried to make it work, I like some things about Norcal just that they were always excursions instead of right in my neighborhood. People that like SF were almost never talking about things they liked within the city limits, it was things they liked somewhere between the pacific ocean and the border of Nevada, spoiler alert, not whats attractive about other cities.

Now I never mention tech unless its useful to talk about my exposure to a specific opportunity.

The U.S. used to have strong trade programs but eventually college degrees were seen as the only way and as a class gateway.
