First, I take Wikipedia with a grain of salt, especially when it comes to politics or anything remotely related to politics.

All I'm saying is that the results speak for themselves. The drugs come from somewhere. The drugs are allowed in somehow. Repeat violent criminals are somehow let out of prison.

Also, there is a history of collusion of governments, government agencies, NGOs, & drug trafficking. This spans over hundreds of years & there are recent cases. Watch a documentary of how Compton, CA was once a working class neighborhood with industrious people, then the CIA trafficked drugs in that neighborhood (note Freeway Rick Ross), & it quickly devolved into violent gang warfare. Now the land is being bought on the cheap. Note Sofi Statium, which is built on the ground of what were once homes.
Well, roomba isekai has a good twist in that the MC was originally a mundane roomba that has been mildly uplifted, rather than a former human.

I'm happy that at least they're now trying to catch up. If they'll only stay one cycle behind, that's not even that bad. My worry is that they're not going to be able to maintain that distance ...
Your CA would certainly prevent that from happening well before your investors look at your accounts.

It's very far from practical technology, but in principle you can use pieces of the asteroid as reaction mass to 'cheat' the rocket equation. You could also modify the asteroid's albedo or use solar sails to modify the trajectory of the asteroid.

Very far from practical. Such a plot would probably take centuries at least to carry out with reasonably conceived technology.
It's 2023, and iPhones are still being hacked with the same broken serialization functions that have been breaking iMessage for literal years. This is Apple apps/services, they continue making these mistakes in new code. People are being persecuted with this, is no one there accountable?

At the same time, wouldn't it discourage reducing headcount (or at least headcount expenditure) for companies with roughly flat or linear revenue growth (see all the big tech layoffs), because you'd be paying more in taxes next year, etc. ?

edit: never mind, I completely misunderstood. It really only seems to harm "moonshot" companies; big tech and sustainable companies appear to be largely unaffected. If anything they may benefit as it will be more costly for upstarts to try competing
So they used to have a $6/month/user plan that included Funnel and SSH, but now they moved those to the $18/month/user plan? That doesn't sound great, and it's disappointing that that's not even mentioned in the article
Don't come with client consciousness.

MS's deal with computer manufacturers makes them pay more if they want to not install Windows on all of the computers they sell. And when some decided to just sell computers, you know, unbundled, the way that maximizes consumer choice, they were framed as criminally enriching from piracy and lots of governments felt into them with all their rage.

It's not the client's fault that corrupt powerful people use violence to take down their rights.
It can -- maybe. So far don't see that happening.
Turning wood into charcoal would be a way. That doesn't decay easily when burried.
These days, most consumer and commercial machines are running multiple operating systems under Linux below ring 0. Same goes for hardware components with full access to memory and CPU time running their own OSes. Linux is mostly to completely unaware of their existence and can't do much if anything about them.
>At sampling location A (highlighted in image above), which simulates conditions at the intersection of SW 5th Avenue and SW Yamhill Street, a key location in the 2 June protests, the IDLH value was continuously exceeded for a period of six minutes and twenty seconds. The maximum airborne concentration recorded at sampling location A was 443.9 mg/m³.

>At sampling location H (highlighted in image above), just one block north of sampling location A, at the intersection of SW 5th Avenue and SW Morrison Street, our simulation recorded the highest airborne concentration value across the sampled locations: 4,568 mg/m³, more than 2,000 times the IDLH threshold.

Just from knowing how gases/ aerosols disperse- the airborne concentration is extremely dependent on proximity to the particular tear gas munition that is emitting the tear gas. Any individual tear gas munition that is emitting gas at a particular moment is certain to exceed the IDLH threshold in its immediate vicinity. This article leaves out the level of detail that would be needed to know for sure whether they placed a sampling location within 6 inches of a live tear gas grenade, but the weirdly absent details following their scary citation of 2,000 times the limit sure makes me think they did.

Because some of our coworkers have no friends and want us to socialise with them, and their insecure managers agree. Therefore some have work in offices and uproot their lives all the while employers have no issue serving remote customers.
Long time ago, I used to be excited by available updates for app. New feature and fixes were expected.

Nowadays, I try to not update until we can't use something anymore, because most of the time updates are for useless new UI designs that you did not ask for, updating telemetry/spy features, and limiting features or adding new ways to nag you for money for features that you used to have.

This along with pydantic [0] means that 2/3 of my favorite python open source projects are now commercially backed. I wonder how long FastAPI will last?

As an aside, what is the issue with versioning these days? Ruff and FastAPI both have massive user bases and a reliable codebase, but haven't released v1.0.0! Ruff hasn't even got as far as v0.1.0.

Quick reminder:

- corporate taxes have one of the highest deadweight loss of any tax

- corporate taxes get passed to consumers and employees as higher cost of goods and lower wages / benefits

- the USA has one of the highest rates of corporate tax in the world

- handling the complex tax code is more a burden on small firms (as this case shows)

All of this together means we'd be better off dropping the corporate tax entirely and instead tax income, capital gains, or consumption at higher rates.

Great idea. But does it get hard to navigate back to something in older chat histories though?

I am talking about the western society. In the 80s and 90s, you don't really see movies about an entire generation of teenagers being oppressed. The main characters are likely to be teenagers but most adventure stories have teenage main characters.

In the 2000s, you started seeing popular sci-fi books (then movies in 2010s) like The Hunger Games and Maze Runner that depict teenagers as the opposed class.

Personally I think the 2000 Japanese classic Battle Royale started it all.
Certainly that could be the answer for some or part of them, but we should also be looking at building housing on top of them as well. Heat discourages people from walking but so does the distance between destinations.

This may seem counter to the goal of reducing emissions, but if it means there's less low-density development at the fringes (which involves a lot more roadway, etc per person) then it's really not.

Of course, it's not either/or - there's plenty of underutilized land devoted to parking, we can do both!
Is anyone else sick of seeing "yet another" Python tool? Python is so slow and irrelevant by so many standards nowadays...

Fully prepared to be downvoted for these because I am all too aware of Python's (IMO) undeserved popularity, but the facts are clear: Python lags in performance against nearly any other "backend" or "scripting" language (compare to C, C++, C#, Go, Rust, and many more)

My reasoning: every day I see stack overflow filled with repetitive Python questions, and random finance furus talking about their cool data analysis tools, all in Python, all with poor performance and hacked together with god knows how many libraries.

The problem is indeed because Python is so accessible: anyone who can write Python doesn't know enough about computing in general to even know what the concept of performance is, let alone risks of relying on 1903287012 libraries to get the job done.

Hell, I know half a dozen companies still using Python 2... jeez

Thanks for coming to my TED rant.
Windows-only seems to me like the most rapidly shrinking market.
I agree with all of the naysayers here.

Speed is not my problem today, so what's the point if it's not solving my personal problem? Speed was my problem yesterday, and probably will be again tomorrow, but today it isn't and I don't know why random people I don't know aren't invested enough in solving my today problem.

Even worse, they're trying to get paid for it!

Seriously: what does it take to impress people? A mere 1000x speed increase and single point of configuration isn't good enough? Personally, I've waited for my much slower tools to finish plenty of times, I've only run a subset of the tools because I didn't want to wait for all of them to finish every time, and I've avoided configuring them because I'd have to figure out which one does what and how to configure each one.

Yes, it's a rearchitecture, which brings with it the pain of rearchitectures—mainly not supporting the bespoke tools built with the old architecture—but isn't it a good idea to identify when the existing base is problematic and be able to demonstrate that a superior solution could be gained by starting over? And they've even gone to the effort of bringing in the 90% case by encompassing the functionality of several existing tools!

I would understand the complaints better if you were somehow suddenly unable to run any of your existing stuff, but this isn't an incompatible upgrade to an existing project.

That would fly against the assumption of most people that the router also is the 'modem' for one, and that the necessary 'modem' for whichever access-technology is often mandated by the ISP, for another.

Which you rarely can escape outside of business-contracts, regardless of concepts like 'router-freedom'.

In very rare circumstances you'll get to know the exact specifics of the low-level technicals before that shit is installed, and can plug in you own stuff without excess gear.
I've been closely following this tax change for some time now and I'm thrilled to see that major news publications are beginning to cover this monumental change.

However, I haven't seen many companies step up to offer solutions to address this change, except for Neo.Tax. Based on my research, it appears that they're the only product in the market that's specifically designed to address R&D capitalization.

Here are some helpful resources I've found about this topic:

I need Serif (Affinity Suite), Ableton, Arturia, and Native Instruments to port everything to Linux or at least make it equally functional in Wine first. I could understand going to the trouble if I had anything remotely like the issues people say they have with Windows, but it's been an absolute breeze for me. Always has been. The few ad-ish things I see were trivial to remove. Staying on a local account was effortless. Updates need a reboot about as often as they did the last time I used Linux.

There just...aren't any issues. I don't doubt that all these horror stories I hear are true for the individuals, but I just don't experience it.
> So if you can handle every incoming request with one worker that worker gets them all. Otherwise each worker pops off the stack as it becomes free

As I alluded, that works great if "can handle" and "being free" are clear-cut binary properties. But for complex applications when you are driving for high utilization while keeping latency down those questions become complicated; a worker might have some free capacity to handle requests but it doesn't mean that it would produce response as quickly as some other (more idle) worker.

In other words, the problem is not just assigning requests to workers that can handle them but assigning requests to workers that can handle them with lowest latency.

Agreed. I have a policy of _never_ clicking on a link if I don't have at least _some_ idea of what's behind it, and that includes HN. It's the top link on HN right now and I came to the comments just to see what it was even about.

And yes, I have regretted clicking on HN links before.
Yes, but it also means that the minority is less effective when it gains an electoral majority and takes 'hold of the gavel. That makes it harder for them to, say, change things to further entrench minority rule—which is real problem in several state-level governments.
how subjective is it whether feature building qualifies as R&D?
That's not an online purchase, that's a physical purchase. Those have always been taxed at the single location of the transaction, because buyer and seller are in the same place.

My point was that there's nothing inaccurate about a delivery address or billing address. The parent was writing as if this were something confusing to determine.
Nice. I’ve wanted something like this for 15 years.

I’m curious how you implemented them. I’ve been mulling using a tag based system for a completely unrelated project. I figure one might get a lot of way there using hash tables and sets from any of the high level languages. But it seems you maybe used a different approach?
Taxing consumption discourages consumption which thus acts as a drag on the overall economy. Further, most people view it as "unfair" because a fixed consumption tax (sales, GST, VAT) results in lower income people paying a higher percentage of their income as tax.

Progressive income taxation 1) does not discourage consumption as much as a higher consumption tax for those with lower income (which is most people), 2) encourages investment for companies and individuals with higher incomes.

Please define "Customer" in this context?

There are several parties at this party. One is the person who bought a computer with an operating system on it; possibly they even paid for the operating system itself, though more likely they are using the operating system that came on the computer they're using. Another party is the one who bought a license from microsoft; occasionally they're the same party but more typically it is some sort of vendor who did this. And there's also the party that's giving microsoft money to put advertising in front of the "consumer."

So -- it isn't clear to me who in this context is "always right"
I wish I could find a screenshot of it, but I believe the default Arabic font in Ubuntu ~10 years ago was pretty horrendous, whereas Windows had a much more reasonable one.

Excuse my ignorance, but would this be caused by a memory leak or an application that allocated an amount of memory allowed by Windows but not Linux, or something else?
What a twist of fate! The social media generation companies built their success on aggregating other people’s content and offering new ways to interact with it. “No we’re just linking to what other sites provide for free”. Now, there’s a new leather jacket in town. “We’re just training on data that you already provide for free”.

Of course it’s fun to watch a turf war, and we can all cheer for our favorite team and quibble about who deserves a punch in the gut.

But, we also need to keep an eye on the horizon. This will change the world, even and especially the spaces that we currently rely on. Just look at what happened to legacy media when the aggregators came: it largely turned into blogspam and clickbait. Comment sections (like this one) aren’t perfect, but they’re a damn good pressure valve for regular people to interact with the world. What will happen to those, for instance?
Yea - also idk why people keep thinking you need to downsize your lifestyle drastically or at all. I live in a decent-sized metro area in a 2500 square foot detached home in an urban neighborhood. It's perfectly normal and fine. People have cars, but they also walk and bike to a lot of places. There are restaurants and shops nearby to walk to. There are lots of young parents with kids and a school nearby too.

Unfortunately people equate good urban planning with this weird dystopian view of a 400sqft apartment and clothes hung out to dry and getting stabbed to death on the street instead of how Americans built in the late 1800s and early 1900s with small businesses, restaurants nearby, parks for everyone to enjoy getting out and gettin some sunshine, and other amenities.

"But it's expensive" - yes because we are market-locked into building nothing like this so scarcity drives up the prices.
18 years and still no business model?
I happen to work on a system that launched more than five years ago, which at my company is pretty unusual (without at least one full rewrite). The teams working on generalizing use cases and new features have expanded every year since launch. Amortization makes sense for spreading out the tax deductions on an investment whose cost is fully front-loaded, but not on an investment whose cost is incremental and continually increasing over the entire lifetime.
I'd be interested to learn more about if or how stock priced exclusively in BTC (i.e., never in USD) affects taxes.

Any info you could share would be appreciated :)
Absolutely, and same here. I've done multiple tools that would have taken 2-3 days each in 2-3 hours each.

> One thing to keep in mind is to avoid derailing the conversation with questions that are not relevant to the core tasks. If you get stuck on something and need to debug, it's best to use a separate conversation to avoid derailing the project's progress and the allucinations & forgettingness

Definitely. Great advice.

Another tip: don't bother asking it to fix small things. Just mention you fixed it in the next reply and move on.
> You made it very clear that there is no answer.

I've given many examples of the difference between a first party business relationship and the sorts of worldwide spying that Facebook and Google have been engaging in.

>How is a first party business relationship with your own customer different than buying a copy of people's credit card transaction data, spying on receipts emailed by other businesses, turning on location tracking by default, paying children to give root access to their device (Onavo), setting up user tracking on a huge swath of websites (Google Analytics, Facebook Like Button), and the other sorts relentless spying tactics that we have seen from companies with a surveillance capitalism business model?

As I've pointed out previously, this isn't the same thing as Amazon having a record of things I've purchased from Amazon.

>I didn't even attempt to convince you

You haven't convinced anyone of your favorite straw man.
This is why the civil rights act was never passed, and schools in the US are still segregated to this day, because Sen Byrd (D) filibustered
One potential difference is that for many things that are capital expenses (a building for example) a business is likely to take out a loan in order to buy it, so they don't have the full expense up front. A bank is probably not going to loan you money to pay your developers at the same terms they will loan you money to buy a building.
Traditionally the distinction was you had to have a cathedral to be a city.

... I suppose the modern equivalent is a CBD.
I'm guessing that this will result in many employers reclassing many engineers into COGS, S&M, G&A, etc (in other words, not calling their work R&D).

This is relatively easy to do. If an engineer is fixing bugs, helping support team, helping sales in any way, participating in customer onboarding, keeping the servers online, etc, a company can argue the engineer is a cost of doing business rather than true "R&D".

In reality, the % of time most engineers spend exclusively on 100% new products is much smaller than you'd assume at face value. Even at a young startup, I'd guess at most 50% of the work is true R&D.

To reiterate, things like devops, managing infrastructure, patching servers, upgrading code, fixing bugs, professional services, etc... none of that is R&D and it's pretty easy for a small company to say that the majority of their engineering expense is not R&D (extremely difficult for the IRS to argue otherwise if they audit a company unless detailed timesheets are kept).

Edit: I'm not an accountant, but pretty familiar with R&D / IRS stuff
The main reason pylint is slow is it tries to infer the types of the variables, and it predates type annotations so it can go through multiple functions/control paths across multiple files to figure these out. This approach is obviated by type annotations and type checkers.

Ruff is built for speed from the start and doesn't look at type annotations because you should run a type checker alongside.
