A. What you are describing here isn't illegal activity. You're describing the State determining that Apple incorrectly reported where the sales tax should go (no one is saying deliberately). Now the state is trying to remedy this.

B. From what I was gathering there's been a change in law regarding online sale tax in 2019 or so. Fair enough for the State to take a couple of years to audit and find compliance.

Doesn't really seem to be malicious actions between Apple and the city.

Additionally Apple is free to apeal here and say they did report their sales tax correctly.
it is already not required to ask consent for cookies that for example backs login, shoppingcart etc
A much better name than Mini-GPT4, in my opinion. Hopefully new cool projects that come out follow their example :)
Too late to edit: I was confusing RV64X and Vortex. It is indeed based on the latter, and extends it in interesting directions, in particular implementing Vulkan instead of just OpenGL.
I'd dig into genode[1], which is a capability based operating system. You'll likely see an upsurge in interest in capability based systems in the next decade.

Also what's the point when significant portions of the US have de facto regional broadband monopolies?

I mean clear labeling is always better than not, but if you have no actual options how much does it help?

Where I live my choice for actual wired broadband is: Spectrum. That's it. My only other viable Internet option is 25 mbps DSL from AT&T. So if I don't like the service from Spectrum: tough luck. If I'm looking at the label before ordering Spectrum and don't like what I see: tough luck.

And my situation isn't particularly rare.

"Starve the beast" is a political strategy employed by American conservatives to limit government spending by cutting taxes, to deprive the federal government of revenue in a deliberate effort to force it to reduce spending.

This is a distraction. We need to reduce the amount of carbon (and other products of energy conversion) that we cause to be released. Engineering is fun and all, but it's just a tool, not a way of life.
> stage left / stage right

Outdoor recreation often uses climbers left/right and skiers left/right (even when there's no rock or snow) to orient direction relative to slope, which is similarly descriptive and clear to those who haven't heard the terms before.

Except for rivers, where True Left and True Right are commonly used in New Zealand for hiking and kayaking, and I can never remember which way round they go!
What's the conflict? Stack Overflow content was specifically licensed under Creative Commons so that its content can be maximally used and learned from, and it seems to be working successfully in ways not envisioned before.
Note in CA, there are additional reporting requirements. This is not tax advice, but I believe passthrough single-member LLCs (including no-income) must file Form 568 by March 15 and pay a mandatory $800 annual fee by April 15. (Other types/taxation methods could have slightly different requirements.)
I remember when we had computer companies like Apple & Microsoft, and web companies like Google & Facebook, and we liked it that way.

Now, everyone is expected to all compete and do the same thing. Google and Microsoft are competing in search, while Google is competing against Apple in the smartphone market. Facebook is trying to beat Playstation with VR, while Apple is producing Hollywood content for their streaming platform.

And now, when a bunch of them start making a bot you can chat to, people are confused and demanding other companies jump in on it.

The version of this idea that I've heard is that, in the idealized Plan9 "everything is a file" universe, the only containerization primitive you need the kernel to provide is chroot. Then you can implement things like network namespaces entirely in userspace, as filesystems that get mounted at the appropriate location in the container.
A general point: not all foreign language users need to pass for locals --- or, not all foreign language use-cases require that. An extreme example (not one that Duolingo caters for) is opera singers (and singing in general): they need flawless diction, and thorough understanding of the text, syllables, and how they map to the meanings that they are singing. But they don't need to speak, read, write, or understand the language for day-to-day communication --- and there are anecdotes about being cornered in (eg) Russian, and having to 'fess up that they don't actually know how to chat in the language.
The power imbalance between an employee and an employer means that no, it's absolutely not a 2-way street.

An employee (especially in the US) depends upon the employer for the money required for food, shelter, transportation, entertainment, etc. The employee depends on the employer to get health care. An average employee is 3-6 months of unemployment away from being homeless.

An employer does not, with very few exceptions, give a single fuck about any individual employee. They view those employees as expenses grudgingly accepted as necessary at the best of times, and expenses to be eliminated at the worst.

They are not equals. Contracts between them were not made with the consideration of equal parties.
How is the IRS defining "development"?

I don't think it's the same as we do, and more akin to land development and improvement.
> Not sure, how only one party has ethical obligations.

I'm not sure that only one has ethical obligations. But one party is a human being and the other is a legal fiction, and so I think most people would support the notion that the human being's needs are paramount.

You don't need to trust PINs, they aren't passwords in technical sense. And you don't need to enter wrong PINs either, if someone else tries they would reach a limit very soon.

It's all seems pretty arbitrary to me as to whether something is considered destruction of evidence and it's very US-centric anyway. So I'd say yes, deniable encryption is needed. If they decide you're not playing ball, then you'll be punished. The difference is whether they will use a legal system for that in a First World country or something else if you're not so lucky.
You’d expect to run into transfer pricing issues if did that, unless you’d already structured your company avoid those problems. This problem here, and many others like it stem from the fact that corporate tax is a stupid concept. It doesn’t generate any additional tax revenue, because any tax that is paid as corporate tax will simply be used to offset taxes that would otherwise be paid as income tax. It also simply preferences operating models which are more accessible to large companies, disadvantaging SMEs. Any company can theoretically choose to not be profitable, by reinvesting all of its profits, and investors typically don’t care if their value is returned via growth or dividends. But many SME operators do, and the accounting and compliance costs associated with that place a higher burden on SMEs. But the whole debate around the topic is muddied by people who intentionally misrepresent how these systems work for their political gain, and their followers who don’t understand how these systems work (until some stupid change like this affects them, and the stupidity of the system is made clear).

>"Study author Dr John Read, Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of East London, said: “Not only do antidepressants not reduce suicidality, but they also actually increase it for many, and for some they provide the mechanism for killing oneself.”

I would not be surprised, if these kinds of medications, will be also linked to the horrible mass murder events where the suicidal monster, who already pretty much decided to end their life, is just choosing who else to take with him/her.
After 5 years dont you end up with some "finished" R&D project that then can be later amortized, over say next 3 (or 5 years), so you reduce your tax base by those 2 million later on?
Very cool to see. I wonder how much shoulder strength this requires.

No. If you are growing and increasing expenses you’re always behind. The only case where you get ahead is if you stop growing or shrink.
that's an interesting strategy to use alternate routes to the same information. Might be an opportunity to use more of the WIN+R shortcut to launch applications from that lil dialog.

Honest question: why is cookie management done by the sites instead of the browser? There's something wrong with the way this is all designed if we're relying on the websites, which have an obvious conflict of interest, to manage which cookies are necessary and which are frivolous.
I would really like to see an implementation where entering different passcodes unlocks different profiles on your phone. For example, your real phone profile data is behind one passcode, and then you can unlock a decoy phone profile when entering a different passcode.

What did you think “replacing SWEs” means?
The person you replied to did not say block all cookies. They specifically said block all 3rd party cookies. If a site wants to set a 1st party cookie, but through code on their end share that cookie data with 3rd party sites, there's nothing we can do about that. But by gawd we can absolutely block the ones that are too lazy to do it like that and just link someone else's codes.

No banners necessary. Just block 3rd parties.
What does getting whacked with a $787,500,000.00 settlement payment incentivize newscorp to do? I get the feeling next time they feel like bluffing, someone over there might bring up the three quarters of a billion dollars that they just burned.

I mean I get that this incentivizes plaintiffs to sue when they think they’re getting screwed but… isn’t that a good thing? (That is, isn’t that the whole point of the tort system?)
If they require that that no response is considered a rejection of all non-essential then we're basically done.

1) in the USA slavery would have eventually ended due to the economics. Steam engines are cheap compared to human manual labor.

2) Migrant labor is the replacement for slave labor in the USA. These are workers who do not legally exist and thus are subject to the worst of exploitations by employers and criminal concerns.

3) Human beings of all races have a pretty bad record of how they may treat other races/tribes/outgroups. Genghis Kahn killed and raped so many people that he altered the genetic profile of humans. African tribes routinely enslaved each other. Arabs took white slaves. People can be dicks. The list goes on and on: cruelty is a part of the universal human condition.

As bad as the USA, it's the only country to go to civil war to free slaves of another race, even if that wasn't the complete reason for the Civil war.
It's been a long time, so things might have changed... I doubt it anyway.

What you write about sounds very much like you could solve easily changing the default behaviours. There was some "autoalign" property, or something similar, that you can disable.

I won't install a demo to check, I'm afraid, but knowing that there's a solution could help?
A contract for a typical SaaS company, billed annually, is actually a liability (from an accounting perspective) up until the point where the contract has been completely fulfilled.

Others (say, an investor) might view a contract as an “asset” because of the future value it might bring, but not in a traditional accounting sense.

Why are you so hostile to startups? Maybe if you could articulate what small software companies are actually abusing when they offset their revenue with wages like literally every other industry out there I could start to understand your viewpoint.

But without that you just seem like you have a chip on your shoulder.

You do understand that if this law were applied to any industry it would similarly kill small companies in those? Like if restaurants had this rule for wages it would devastate smaller, family run restaurants.
It's interesting to think about the difference between isolated horrible code that sits in a function and does its own thing, vs architecturally horrible code that tends to spread outward and infect the rest of the program.

In cases like ECS (in gaming) or virtual DOM (in web), the "horrible" architecture comes out the other side and becomes almost clean again.
There are occasionally ads disguised as alerts, such as when you're running low on storage space it will suggest that you buy a paid tier of iCloud storage.

I have hundreds of movies rated in my Netflix DVD account. I wish I could export my ratings and import them elsewhere.

Any such options? Amazon Prime shows movies’ star ratings (from IMDb?), but didn’t let users rate movies, AFAICT. I’ve found Taste.io https://www.taste.io/ recommendations to be very good, even with fewer ratings than I gave a Netflix.

Due to possible voter mail fraud, the election results were not certified and the election was redone.

Chicanery in vote counting doesn't happen in the US. There's just too many eyes on the system, and the system is just too distributed, for it to be effective. If you look at the way that political parties try to manipulate the elections, it's by attempting to prevent people from voting in the first place (and those attempts are much, much more successful than they should be).
I'm sorry. They were not, it was the joke from OP
Unfortunately it doesn’t matter. The law is explicit that any costs related to the development of any software must be amortized. Bug fixes included.

Not only that but ALL costs. Salaries, benefits, servers, subscriptions, even the percentage of utilities that go to software development have to be figured out and amortized.

This is insane and bankrupting a lot of small business if left in place.

“For purposes of this section, any amount paid or incurred in connection with the development of any software shall be treated as a research or experimental expenditure.”
The bundling bs sucks. The only reason MS has that many people using Teams is because it’s bundled (free) with the M365. It’s hot garbage.

That is a great little piece, thanks for sharing!

It is a fun experience. You go in there with no instructions and no idea what is going on. You quickly figure out how you can interact with it and what is going on within that little world and try and make sense of it. Then you notice the title and try and piece that in with that model you've just created. And then you get to wonder if you are reading too much into it and it is just a fun little toy someone built or if there is some artistic story.
FWIW, they are not the only one where you can pay to be a customer, they just happen to think that paying-per-search is the strategy they want to go with. I also just double-checked and they do actually offer an all-you-can-eat for $25/mo and $255 if you pay annually

Now, the bad news is there is an associated discussion going on over in the "DDG integrates GPT" thread where the intersection of "I want to pay" and "I don't want to GPT anything" is damn near nil :-(
Just to be sure. Is Ruff faster by lacking type checking?

That sort of fatalistic hype is completely unhelpful. Like another comment is explicitly pointing out, whether AI will be used in any given field may not be under our control but on what terms and to whose benefit still absolutely are.

Giving up or encouraging others to do so just ensures it will be used in the most exploitative and extractive ways possible and in no others.
I think the author of the clock might want to keep the name enigmatic while factually correct. There are many interpretations, images, and connotations which the animation may invoke in a viewer, and the author might not want to force any particular one. So staying enigmatic here is the right move, I think.

The Astral thing is different: it's about announcing a commercial company, and not having spent time on crafting a good description that would appear in link aggregators like HN is their loss of opportunity and outreach. Good thing that posting and discussing it here uncovered the issue.

The issue is, modernly, people equate not getting what they want with the system being broken.

Netflix has Blurays now, which look much better than over-compressed streaming to me.
Thank you for the first comment I’ve come across that points to the specific problem. Yes, this seems quite bad.

One could probably apportion some blame to the businesses who assumed a fix from Congress would be forthcoming, but on the whole it seems to me like a spectacularly il-conceived bit of the tax code that never should have been passed in the first place.
I disagree. I have a lot of options as an employee, as do most people. Health care is tough but cobra is helpful and ideally you'd find another job before you give notice.

Even lengthy interview processes are relatively cheap for me. Many companies have to pay recruiters 5 figure amounts to get someone. I can just reply to the dozen recruiters that hit me up on LinkedIn every month.

People have options. Even low wage employees. The people in these jobs jump around a lot and are notoriously unreliable or likely to not give notice when they leave. That's why you see the manager behind the counter so often. If you don't believe me ask anyone working a service job how long they've been there and how many jobs they've had over the last 5 years. People jump around a lot. And training is a huge cost. Most employees aren't productive immediately, meaning that the company spends a lot of time and money training them with the expectation that they'll get some of that money invested back and you won't jump ship for a better job once you've been trained.

Finally most firms (esp Meta) give generous severance. Imagine you'd have to work for free for 3 months if you wanted to do something else.
The dumping of excess fuel would have been done after satellite deployment, which as per this page: https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2022/07/starlink-4-25/ is at 230 km (140 miles). This is way, way above the atmosphere and there is no way it would have produced any effects at ground level.
