You don't pay tax twice under the (still ridiculous) American system, the IRS does credit you for whatever foreign taxes you've paid. I'm not sure if it's 1:1 but there is a credit.

This is about suburbs, not rural areas, but Canadian politics provides an interesting history in suburbanites wresting power from city dwellers. Among other concrete impacts it means more parking, shifting funds away from public transport (which is less useful to suburbanites), etc.

For one thing, in Europe at least, people are relatively mobile between countries. While it's different legally of course, imagine US states trying to tax you permanently even if you move elsewhere? (Yes, California supposedly tries sometimes but, in general, the idea is silly.)
Billing is one of those problems that seem deceivingly easy. Just talk to someone who has worked in telco billing and learn about the 4 horsemen of billpocalypse: metering, mediation, accounting, billing.
It may be old and not particularly appealing, but LDAP has been serving that role effectively at many companies.[0]

I believe there's some confusion in both the article and the comment between authentication and authorization. LDAP is fully equipped to handle both tasks.

Yeah, that can be a good approach. Including all the data defining the old product in an unchanging way was one of the sticking points that led to the creation of my team at Yahoo. The US team didn't think twice about changing invoice templates for examples, while the European finance teams broke out in hives at the thought of anything changing on already issued orders, much less invoices. I spent three years holding the fort to ensure the US team didn't take over invoice processing on our behalf until they could guarantee at least the invoices were unchanging...
Why would they make their very expected functionality something you have to dig around to find now? That just seems like really bad decision making that should have been spotted by someone on top and screams that the people on top are now disconnected from reality.

I swear that it used to work for certain strings I'm trying to find now which I was able to find information on and now it isn't even returning, with "verbatim" set, something that is in a very well-known program's documentation. Bing finds like three results. Google has dropped the ball so hard it's embarrassing
Agreed, the style is strikingly crisp and witty in a way I associate with early twentieth century English writers, especially around Oxford/Cambridge (Isaiah Berlin, C. S. Lewis). The title is notably good too. I love how Haldane writes.

It's redistribution because it takes tax income that would go to a wealthy area (Tokyo) and distributes it to poorer areas.
Was anyone else unsatisfied with this article? Yeah sure, queueing theory is cool and fun and interesting but this article is really just a short list of used abbreviations and falls woefully short of genuinely interesting content.

You'll get more out of reading the Wikipedia article on queueing theory and on M/M/1 queues.
If it’s a systemd service (which it usually is) you can simply run systemctl cat <service in question> which pretty much always will have WorkingDirectory property set or RuntimeDirectory or similar (RuntimeDirectory you’ll have to prefix with /var/run which you just sort of have to know but that’s not NixOS specific)

They're also heavily subsidized to make them "work", a considerable piece of rural America would already be gone if there wasn't a large amount of government funds being diverted to keep it alive and we will spend even more as it becomes less and less desirable to live there.
I bet this is one of those studies where it can turn out the dataset is entirely faked and it wouldn't change a thing in the field because it's such an obvious facet of well known established facts about humans empathising with random objects.
It is a massive fuckup. There is no 4-dimensional chess happening. Elon thought he could flip Twitter at less cost than litigation and a judgement against him. That was an impulsive decision with zero planning.
That's correct. But it means even if you move from a high tax country/state to a low tax one (which may provide a very different level of services for the lower taxes--as is often the case with US states) you still get hit.
Just because it's a person choosing to do this instead of a bureaucrat doesn't mean it's not redistribution. To use the example in the article, you're taking 40% of your taxes which would go to Tokyo and instead sending them to Gifu.
Thanks - but isn't this more like "reallocation"? I thought redistribution was more about taking money from some people and giving it to (or spending it on) other people, of which taxation is one method.
"food insecurity" is not the same as starving.
Hahaha I hate it but I'm doing that thing where I agree with the other 50 things you said but point out on thing I don't agree with, but:

The value you get for your money on a Mac
is much better, but it's still a steep barrier
to entry, IMO

Is it that steep? A refurb M1 Macbook Air straight from Apple with 1 year of AppleCare is $850. $1,189 if you want 16GB + 512GB.

That is more money than a lot of people can afford, especially outside of the US.

But boy, it's so much cheaper than ever. That's like, two Xboxes (+ controllers + a game or two) so it feels within the reach of a broad swath of the population.

Admittedly... you can get a nice-enough Windows/Linux developer desktop or laptop with a little Craigslist or FB Marketplace effort for like, $150.

Things like that can be done by specific collections (e.g. most ECS implementations store components per "archetype").

But from language perspective the limiting factor is that you're always allowed to take a reference to any instance of an enum. This means the tag must be stored in every instance. If you allow mutable references to enums, you must have enough space for writing any variant there through the reference.
Cool. I'm currently working on a modern remake of the old goldbox games. Making good progress.
Nominally, it's also true in Canada. Due to lower populated rural ridings, one rural vote can be worth up to 4X an urban vote.

But in current conditions, votes in rural Western Canadian ridings are basically worthless. They're ultra-safe Conservative seats, so they can be and are ignored.

But it wasn't very long ago that they were highly competitive ridings split between two right wing parties. Because Canada doesn't quite have the same 2 party system as the US does, the situation isn't as static.

Hehe. Once went about repairing a rice cooker. Iirc, there were something like 2 different models of the thermal regulator, available from maaaany sellers. Wouldn't surprise me if virtually every rice cooker out there includes one of these few models thermal regulator.

Probably true for many parts. 1 or 2 highly specialized manufacturers that are absolute king in their market niche.

Vendor picks a bunch of such parts, slaps custom housing around it (made by yet another specialist), and moves the boxes. Branding, logistics & perhaps assembly (if not outsourced to 3rd party too), rather than manufacturing most of an appliance themselves.
I think you can still reconnect with your former colleagues even if you haven't talked to them in a while. Starting a business or looking for a new job is a great excuse to do so. I have been on both sides of conversations and it never really bothered if someone messaged me out of blue or didn't respond to my message.

And if you do message, keep it short and to the point, only time I get really annoyed is when someone starts a conversation, asking about work and family then after several messages, they would bring up their real motivation. Usually, it is MLM related and when I say hard NO, they disappear again.

Something like "hey X, been a while, hope you are doing well. I am freelancing these days and looking for a new project. My main focus is tech a but can also do tech b and c. Please let me know if you have any leads. I would truly appreciate it."

And if you really want to build better relationship, you could say something like, "And we should grab coffee one day and catch up. I miss working with you."

Apparently old video game things are going nuts, too. My brother says our family's beat-up copy of Earthbound is worth $300. The old Virtual Boy my other brother picked up for $30 could probably be sold for more than $500 (because it's still in it's original beat-up box). Apparently an old tube TV we have in such demand by video game collectors that the model is hard to find now.

The moral of the story: check eBay when you're getting rid of your old junk.
Which is why there are export bans on plenty of things to China, the US Gov (I'm not American) rightfully understands what's going on under the table and the easiest way to curb theft of high technology is an outright ban (Nvidia products, etc).

I think it's a cultural thing as well, some sort of hustle culture, as the Chinese citizens that moved to NZ when I grew up loved to flout rules & laws around things like the property markets etc - one big problem was Chinese nationals buying up as much NZ baby formula & milk poweder as they could get, hiking the price & selling/sending it to China, so much that NZ experienced shortages for Kiwi mothers trying to feed their babies, so much so that supermarkets had to instate a X per person policy. When I worked in one during 1st year uni I would get literally screamed at in Mandarin by angry and aggressive Chinese nationals with trolleys full of baby formula.

And keep in mind that all of that started only because of the big scare where Chinese baby formula was found to have melamine in it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal) killing 6 babies, affecting hundreds of thousands. All because Sanlu's execs wanted more $$$ so they cut their product.

From my perspective, hailing from Germany, I don't anticipate a decline in developer compensation. Instead, I foresee a future where companies will be selective, opting for developers who are adept at integrating AI into their workflow.

As we begin to reshape our approach to project construction, the inclusion of AI systems will become a standard component in our calculations. This realization will inevitably lead us to understand that certain tasks no longer require as many developers as they once did. Consequently, there might be a reduction in hiring rates for developers.

Nevertheless, I remain optimistic that while the demand for developers might become more selective, their compensation could potentially increase due to the specialized skills required in an AI-integrated landscape.

Show HN: Awake Now – Alarm for Apps
This app will play an alarm for notification from apps that you select. For any important app, just select it in the Awake Now! app.

Set any keywords you want to set. (Something like : "Urgent", "boss" or names like "Bob", "Alice" etc).

These keywords are nothing but important phrases or words to look for in notification so that you only get alarm for notifications containing these words.

That's it. Next time you get a notification from that app, you will get an alarm.

Steps to follow :
1. Install the app.
2. Give it notification permission. (We would use this to see if notification from your selected app shows up.)
3. Open the app.
4. Select the apps whose notification you want to play alarm for. (Say Slack, MS Teams etc)
5. Select any keywords to look for in notification like "boss", "meeting", "urgent" etc.
6. Click "Activate Alarm".
5. That's it. Take a nap or walk, whenever any notification from your selected app comes, we will play an alarm.

You will never miss an important message/notification.
Five Principles from Renaissance Technologies
>Rural areas do not "have no voice" - they have exactly the representative power of their population, the same as urban centers. I'm not sure what makes people in or from rural areas thinks that once people live close together their voice should count for less. How is it "right" or "fair" to move to an urban center, take advantage of urban amenities and services, take advantage of that higher salary, and siphon some of that tax money away to rural areas because of nostalgia?

2 wolves and sheep deciding on what's for dinner huh?

Have you considered that the key problem here is the lack of direct control that people have over their own lives, causing these sort of situations where you have groups of people who permanently have zero effective agency over their futures?

I agree, giving people more voting powers just because they live in a certain place isn't the right way to fix this. But the fact that there is a problem is undeniable, and the fact that this inequality in voting helps ameliorate this problem is true as well.

The right answer here is to remove power from the state and elected officials, and return it to where it belongs, those being asked to pay for it either directly, or by being affected by it.

There is nothing as democratic as everyone choosing for themselves.

In the same way we should not have a vote to decide what's for dinner, and the winner means we all eat the same thing, we should not have votes on local and personal matters.

Democracy isn't voting, it's agency over what rules you.

This article is focused on software development, but I think there is a more general point to be made. When I started working in big corporations, I discovered something that upset me and that I still haven't fully digested- and it's that money doesn't really seem to matter, at least not in the same way it does for normal people. It's perfectly normal for big companies to bleed money in all directions, from the benefits and very generous salaries paid to some employees, to extremely expensive contracts that bring no value at all. Yet nobody bats an eyelid. In time I've grown used to it and tried to reframe it as something that makes perfect sense at those scales. In this sense Elon Musk's approach is truly refreshing, as it reaffirms the simple fact that money is a limited resource and should be used for stuff that really matters and brings value; and this extremely obvious tenet seems to be one of the cores of his success: do not freaking waste money in useless stuff, check the costs and make sure that they're justified. Wow.

Portable doesn't necessarily mean it needs to last as long as it takes you to hike accross a continent.

I use a laptop because I can move it from one room to another without shutting it down. While it would be nice to not have to plug it more than once a day, I'm fine with a 4-5hours autonomy.

But having more battery life definitely do not beat having functionalities such as external monitor, working internal webcam and sound.
> Well, he was 20-something at the time and naive about the complexities of financial accounting software for a global business. He must have eventually realized the true scope of the problem because instead of building in-house accounting software, Google bought Oracle Financials.

How do we jump to this conclusion? Did he realize the true scope of the problem or was it just left to someone else once Google grew in size? It doesn't even explicitly say how Oracle Financials came to be at Google.

> because their internal IT teams never got around to the "eventually" option.

It's a stupid system. Taxes should go to your current city/state to run the services there. If you're not able to sustain programs on your shrinking tax base then you should start reimagining the existence of your city. If you need temporary assistance you should finance it with debt, or ask the national government for help. This is a silly and inefficient system that pours funds into parts of the country that should be left to die. If you want to revitalize places, you should be investing into industries that can bring youth and life to places, not leach it from others.
It seems to me (it's kinda unclear) that the article is talking mostly about various other things pulling users from /etc/passwd and the ssh thing is an aside. For anon ssh you can have e.g.

DisableForwarding yes
PermitTTY no

and possibly ForceCommand and ChrootDirectory depending on how you're sandboxing anonymous and to what; plus a restricted login shell (the above anonymous user of mine has gotsh, got's version of git-shell).

Agreed, although with the rover lifetimes, especially on more recent ones, I think they know that the rover will last way more than a few months.

It just looks a lot nicer to politicians and the public funding them if they say that the rover that was supposed to last months lasted years than if they say the rover was supposed to last 5 years and lasted 5.1 years. Plus, both politicians and the public lack the ability to adequately follow nuance, so "our rover which was intended to last 15 years died after only 9 years due to a global dust storm" would not carry over as well as "our rover which was intended to last 6 months died after 9 years due to a global dust storm".

Even with just the InSight lander, every other rando loves to chime in with criticisms that brushes should've been included to wipe the panels as if NASA wasn't capable of thinking of that.
