Sure, the legal terms "income tax" is relatively recent (and VAT more so). But they're just new names for taxes that already existed. The written record of income and commercial transaction taxes dates back to Hammurabi (1700s BC) and Egypt's Old Kingdom (3000 BC). (https://almanac.upenn.edu/archive/v48/n28/AncientTaxes.html)
I saw some tweet that said something like "20 years ago, we all had printers. Now, nobody does, and we're all doing fine. What the hell were we printing?"

I can think of 4 things I used to print regularly: homework assignments, tickets to events, coupons, MapQuest directions.

All four of them are no longer necessary to print. Homework is now usually either done by hand on notebook paper or uploaded somewhere as a PDF. Tickets and Coupons are now done via QR or bar codes in an app or e-mail. Google Maps and Waze on your phone made printed MapQuest directions obsolete.

Printing will continue to be less and less common. These days, I go to my veteranarian and they offer to e-mail me the results and care instructions for my cat rather than printed 5 pages of crap.
In an alternate world DEC would have released the VT180 computer expansion with the VT100 in 1978, or soon afterward. The VT100 was a huge hit in and of itself; customers having the option to expand the terminal to a "real" CP/M computer, or buy the VT100+VT180 together, could have completely taken out Cromemco/Godbout/Morrow/IMSAI/Vector, and much of what drove demand for TRS-80. (Apple would have taken a hit, too, but would have survived thanks to VisiCalc.) DEC was a known quantity; these new startups weren't.

... But that would never have happened, because:

* DEC in 1978 would, as you said, not have been interested in personal computers.

* Further, DEC in 1978 would never have released a computer running a non-DEC operating system. Customers running Unix on PDP-11 was bad enough. It might have tried to squeeze the PDP-11 into a very compact form factor, as happened with the Heath H11, but that means running RT-11.

* Finally, much of what drove Cromemco/Godbout/Morrow/etc.'s sales was the VAR/SI market that quickly emerged because they, as startups, did not have existing field sales/service operations. I don't know how suited DEC's sales force would have been for selling to the small businesses that bought turnkey accounting/financial systems from VARs. Word processing was an existing market, but I think the customers that bought DEC WP-8 were larger than those that bought WordStar CP/M systems through VARs.

DEC wasn't alone in this. The only large technology company that released a CP/M computer before the IBM PC was Xerox, and the 820 came out just one month before the PC. Even Tandy went with the horrible TRSDOS when it could have also sewn up the CP/M market by going with the latter in 1977, instead of intentionally making the TRS-80 incompatible with CP/M out of the box.

40 years later, the list of things that IBM did right with the PC still amazes, especially considering how many things all of its rivals did wrong (and all the things IBM did wrong after Don Estridge's death in 1985).

Flash was never a core part of the web. That was the problem: it was loosely bolted onto browsers but the company behind it didn’t understand or care about the web, spent their time inventing random new things for demos trying to get you to build on top of their platform INSTEAD of the web, and was never willing to spend time on support.

> JavaScript is not any better than Flash or ActiveX and I really don't understand why people pretend it is.

Because it is. Both of those were hard to use without crashing the browser - the primary selling point for Chrome originally was that it used process sandboxing and so when Flash crashed you wouldn’t lose every open window - whereas what we’re seeing now are complex attacks requiring considerable investment finding ways to get around the layers of precautions. It’s like saying that there’s no difference between leaving your money under the mattress and putting it in the bank because banks still get robbed.

>”I sympathize because there is almost nothing men have traditionally done to distinguish themselves where today there isn't a woman calling herself a girl imitating it with a film crew for instagram, and the underlying message is, "this does not distinguish or provide dignity for you anymore because a girl can do it."”

Not exactly sure what you’re trying to say here. Are you implying that because women can do the same thing as men today that it somehow devalues men doing the same work? That because the same work can be done by a woman, that the work now no longer provides any dignity?

Doubt that many women are pushing the narrative that, “men’s work that women are now able to do is no longer dignified work.”

> "A lot of men are lonely because they lack the ability to put emotions into words, which makes it hard for them to form relationships," Levant says.

I'm glad men are seeking this stuff out, and it's a lot more thought out than it was a decade ago. However, this lens quoted above views men as an inferior form of woman and it's too patronizing to engage.

The author is pointing out that some of these men might need help communicating in order to sustain a long term relationship not that “[men are] an inferior form of a woman.” What is that even supposed to mean?

Disclosure: I'm CTO at Fleet. One of the biggest challenges is the vendor lock-in that results from the way the MDM systems work (particularly on macOS). In typical MDM solutions you don't own the keys and can't manage migrations without direct interaction from every end user. We expect Broadcom to milk this friction while they can.
Spirit Aerosystems also used to be Boeing, but Boeing spun out that division years ago. I don't know, but it seems to me that history makes the relationship between the two more than just supplier/customer.

I dunno, ISTM it's like complaining that "0" != 0 in Go (it does in weakly typed languages like JS). A nil pointer and a nil interface are different types, and Go lets you call methods on nil pointers, so it would be weird if it treated nil pointers as special interface values.

I think a point we forget when we think of the 'Samurai' or other 'armed nobility' classes like the European knight is that they were much more similar to police than soldiers in a modern analogue. Their job was to enforce the peace in a mostly peaceful place and deter violent crime, not really to fight on equal footing with other armed nobility. In war time, they were the most effective one on one fighters but far more important was their ability to raise a group of retainers who'd follow them into battle.

A CPA friend of mine stated that software engineers are pretty screwed when it comes to taxes, they pay the highest effective rate. In effect, when you are in the $125k to $250k ballpark, you're at a high tax bracket but not making enough to take advantage of the things that allow (for example) Warren Buffet to have an effective tax rate of 11% [1]. So, in the shoes of a typical software engineer, their effective tax rate is ballpark 30~35% and their deductions are pretty minimal.

One example my CPA friend gave was landlords getting it good. They can both deduct depreciation and also repair costs - double dipping! Further, any interest on real estate loans they have are also tax deductible. I don't know of more specifics personally, the impression my friend gave me was that those examples are just the beginning.

Cybersecurity's Third Rail: Software Liability
"Well, they’ve done it. The Biden administration’s new National Cybersecurity Strategy takes on the third rail of cybersecurity policy: software liability. For decades, scholars and litigators have been talking about imposing legal liability on the makers of insecure software. But the objections of manufacturers were too strong, concerns about impeding innovation were too great, and the conceptual difficulties of the issue were just too complex. So today software licenses and user agreements continue to disclaim liability, whether the end user is a consumer or an operator of critical infrastructure. With this new strategy, the administration proposes changing that."

Alaska has always given me the whole can, but I don't think I've flown on any of their 737 MAX's yet so it might be a MAX-specific policy.

That's not why people place trust in some scientists. Can you think of other reasons? How do you evaluate anyone's trustworthiness, unless you know them or research them personally (something we don't have time for)? Otherwise, you are stuck with blind mistrust, as you say.

They are not 1:1 parity with the hosted version, they are hard to run, and they are slow.

I honestly am very surprised that GA is so popular, it's probably the worst CI I've used and I thought I was missing something.
I was looking for something just like this the other day. I’ll often import a CSV into SQLite to do some ad hoc data analysis and transformation, but realised how useful it would be to have a JS/WASM based tool I could host on a static site for my colleagues (academics who don’t necessarily feel comfortable working in the terminal). Being able to say “import your CSV here and run some of these example queries” would be so useful. No complex web app or reporting suite to host, and nothing to install.
It just takes time. Getting people to link to it by sharing it in other channels will help to shorten the timeframe.
I get the desire to upgrade, and I'm guessing there's a good reason the ID.me logins can't be migrated to Login.gov. But it's very rare and unsettling for login method and creds to change on a site.

number of people transported dictates how many elevator shafts are needed, and express elevators to the top mean less leaseable space on lower floors. so less people at the top means more leaseable space.

Create a website where the solar installer registers the installation and enters the cost information of the project, and the taxpayer claims the record and associates it with their tax records. They are already doing something like this for car dealers for the EV tax credits:

> Engineers - and especially designers - also struggle with edge cases when things go off the happy path. It's often easy to make an ML prototype that works in 90% of cases, and get a project started - but a nightmare to solve enough the edge cases for a production grade system. Finding and papering over and designing around all those edge cases effectively can require a deep bag of tricks a pure software engineer won't have.

YMMV. Finding and papering over the things that prevent a model from being deployable can also require a deep bag of engineering tricks that an average ML research scientist does not have. In my personal experience I've seen teams burned by this more often than the other way around.

This article is a bit narrow in scope, e.g.

> "Horrified by Stalin’s Soviet Union and Hitler’s Germany, Orwell spun a tale that continues to color how we picture state censorship in controlled societies."

Orwell was equally 'horrified' by the British Empire's imperialist practices, which he documented in then-Burma. See "Shooting an Elephant" for example:

George Orwell: "I had already made up my mind that imperialism was an evil thing.... I was all for the Burmese and all against their oppressors, the British."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_an_Elephant

Now, if you want to experience censorship in the 'Western liberal democracies' today, just replace "the Burmese" in that quote with "the Palestinians."
