If this in Canada, this was a decent strategy

"When a loved one passes, the last thing on most people’s minds is taxes, but they do play an important role in settling the estate. In Canada, there is no inheritance tax. You don’t have to pay taxes on money you inherit, and you don’t have to report it as income. But this doesn’t mean your inheritance is immune from taxation.

Why? The moment someone passes away, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) considers all their assets as part of their estate and taxes this estate directly, before any money is released to beneficiaries. In other words, the reason you don’t pay taxes on your inheritance is because it has already been taxed.

Here’s what else is worth knowing about how taxes impact your inheritance."

In the USA, while there is an inheritance tax, there are a few widely used loopholes.
There's a real (small c) conservative bias where we should keep things as they are rather than changing them for all sorts of reasons. People who want to actually change the world are a bit of a rarity.

Ethiopian famine was linked with previous massive deforestation projects. No trees = no water and no water = no food. War was a logical consequence of that. After several decades they finally grasp the idea, and are trying to bring the trees again with the "green legacy" project.

I think there’s a lot of truth to this.

Relatedly, it’s infuriating that American manufacturers are only interested in developing expensive, large, luxury EVs. We slapped a 100% tariff on cheap Chinese EVs… but our domestic companies refuse to develop a $20,000 compact EV!

The cost of new cars in the US is insane. As is the protectionism of the industry. Give me cheap Japanese/Korean cars plzkthx.
1password.com works well.
It's an arms race too, I'm in the market for a car now and would prefer something compact for city parking, but given that every _other_ car on the road these days seems to be an enormous SUV, I'm looking at probably at least a crossover so I won't constantly feel like I'm about to get steamrolled by a 4Runner or F150
Cheap gas allows the cars to get bigger. Seems like the market has filled the gap as one might expect?
I usually leave all coin change in a tip jar if it's present. Heavy coins aren't worth the effort of carrying especially when paying with cash is already an outlier. I will admit to being very confused when I got a bunch of $1 coins as change recently.

When I was younger I used to pay in odd amounts in order to maximize the number of quarters I got back in change; I'm sure that would just confuse people now.
The Kobo has a thinner side and harder and sharper edges than the Y700 with the rubber case.

Personally I'm not overly distracted by android apps when I'm reading a good book, but YMMV.

My Kobo doesn't have any buttons.

It also forces me to go on wifi and make a Kobo account to use the device at all (even if I'm just interested in copying epubs).

In short and honestly after 5 years of ownership: fuck Kobo and and fuck ereaders in general.
It's not a love affair. Once there are large vehicles on the road, you cannot afford putting yourself at greater risk by not having a large vehicle yourself.

I believe the question was more around how the program knows how much memory to deallocate. The compiler generates the destructor calls the same way the compiler generates everything else in the program.
What's the added value of dealerships? They feel like parasites.

The mere idea of having to negotiate prices like in an flea market is disturbing and disgusting to me.

I want to be treated fairly and as well as the next guy.

Fixed & open construtor prices and warranties, online customisation and ordering should be the only norm.
Almost definitely no to both your questions. Godot doesnt have enough developer resources to work on this, and this repo's value is truly marginal. I really don't see the use case. I think this guy is just having fun.
The title is clickbait or maybe simply misguided in my opinion. A cheap VM and Serverless services are very different things and not directly comparable.

But I do sometimes get the impression that the simple approaches are discarded too easily today. You can rent a lot of hardware pretty cheap from Hetzner and the raw power you get is much higher than what you get with cloud services for the same amount of money. Of course the cloud also provides more stuff, but you really pay a hefty price for some of the things you get there (cough traffic).

The difference gets even larger when you look at the Hetzner root servers, that's a lot of CPU, RAM and storage for little money. And renting actual servers does seem to be overlooked a bit at times, often the comparison is between the cloud and actually buying servers and doing everything yourself.
> You have deals with N big media companies who each have their own restrictions on who can stream what from where. The list is constantly changing, so permissions to view media are locale-specific and revokable; you need a way to say “okay this person is not allowed any more to do that.”

Yeah, international media content licensing is very likely Netflix's moat. I'd wager starting a streaming service, and getting the big studios to host their content is pretty much impossible.

Recommender systems are pretty well studied, and anyways, I'm sure it's significance for Netflix is overrated. People (including me) tend to watch the show everyone's talking about. It's a much more hairy issue for a site like Youtube, where users upload decades worth of content every day, and the site has to figure out what to show to which viewers, where the content's shelf-life might be measured in days, so building up collaborative filtering data might not be feasible.

All the other technical issues are probably non-trivial, but I don't think any of them requires world-changing engineering prowess.

Most engineering is non-trivial. If I attempted to design a washing machine, I'd probably fail miserably, and figuring how to do it well probably took collectively thousands of engineer-years. Doesn't mean it requires exclusively unicorn engineers.
I was hoping that someone would come along and pick up the technology hinted at by UltraConductors[1]. Image cables 10,000,000 times as conductive as silver at room temperature, made out of plastic!

Show HN: I made a website where you can discuss your issues
Hi everyone,

I’m excited to share that I just launched Problem Platform—a new space where people can share and discuss any issues or challenges they’re facing. Whether it’s personal, professional, or something else entirely, this is a place to connect, find support, and hopefully discover solutions together.

I’d love to get some feedback from this community to help shape its future. If you have a moment, please check it out and let me know what you think!
Take all those customers looking for reasonably priced, reasonably sized cars and put the other guys out of business.
Imagine a large truck, like Ford Super Duty F-450, but even heavier because its electric, and with the acceleration of a Tesla.

Now imagine a testosterone filled teen driving it on the freeway after a couple of beers and wants to show off.
To abstract and simplify the issue.

Imagine there's a material A that there's only 100,000 of left.

It takes only 1 energy to consume it and turn it into a single product. Also using it could cause -5 damage to the environment.

You realize however that it is not sustainable, it's going to be done at some point in the future.

You start to look for solutions. You find a new material that can replace the other material B, however it's not as good for making the products. It takes 5 energy to consume it and it takes 3 energy to make the product and then when recycled it takes another 3 energy.
I do agree for the use case of low traffic services but I've not tried Azure yet.

I think they mean 'serverless' platforms charging extra for bandwidth/build minutes/whatever.
Yeah, I love living in a society where money is diverted from public infrastructure like railroads into fake vacuum-tube con jobs and tunnels that hold more cars. I love living next to unreliable cars that drive into traffic and catch on fire. I’m happy when rocket launches destroy local ecosystems with concrete waste and toxic pollution. Elon has really done so much for humanity.

I'm surprised Sabine doesn't mention the way fermions are treated in Loop Quantum Gravity [1][2]. My understanding is they are treated as "non-local" or open loops of gravitational force, and thus entry and exit points in space-time. This makes them conceptually similar to the "wormhole model" of matter that Einstein and Rosen originally described.

I've just switched from DigitalOcean to Hetzner purely for cost. I'm getting more resources for less money. Features seem pretty comparable to me but I don't need anything more than a standard VPS. The only thing I've found weird is SELinux being set to permissive by default.

I'm not sure why anyone would be patriotic about a private company.
LOL. That's a good one :))
I don't disagree with your criticism of his post, but to your question — as best I can tell, "founder mode" means maintaining a high level of personal involvement in product design and decision-making, even as the company grows. Trusting and delegating tasks to specific individuals but retaining a hands-on approach.

To some extent, the concept must remain vague because its meaning will vary from one company to another. Typically, there are one or two critical aspects that are most important for a startup or company, and the founder must be involved in those areas in a way that conflicts with the usual corporate structure or hierarchy.

Anyways, this is how I understood it.
Stewart calculus, Paul's online notes, Lay for linear
One thing that surprised me is that when the article talks about "big cars", I had initially assumed they meant the ubiquitous family crossover SUVs (RAV4 / CRV and the like) that have more or less completely replaced the family sedans. However the curb weight of those vehicles is more or less the same as sedans (all hovering around 3K lbs). What they actually meant is essentially just heavy duty pickup trucks, which are closer to 5K lbs.
A major difficulty in buying a car in the US is lowering your tolerance for sleaze enough to complete the transaction.
Scaling to 0 can be nice
And that applies everywhere in every case? All of this anecdotal evidence has nothing to do with people’s romanticization of the idea that you can isolate yourself pretty well in the remote US.
Lol tf? Plastics typically are not reusable, so now you're left with recycling. Many plastics like PET can be pretty easily recycled and come in few colors. It's unfortunate that there are also there are piles of different plasitc formulations that cannot be mixed and easily recycled. It's easy and cheap to mix pure feeds took, it's not easy to get the plasticizers and coloration out.
Sounds like a heavier car is actually safer to put me and my loved ones inside, at least for now.
maybe if IEEE wanted to keep students, they could support them, unlike during the 2019 ISCA peer review fraud incident where an IEEE fellow was caught in peer review fraud that lead to a student's death, and essentially it took years of intense pressure for them to stop allowing a cover up, do a minimal investigation, and in the end most of the people involved got a secret punishment that was likely a minimal slap-on-the-wrist at best

Don’t call it “balls on a rubber sheet” then.

Describe it as an artistic representation of the theorized behavior.

Pull a Maxwell, whose theory of electromagnetism only worked when he got rid of the imaginary levers; get rid of descriptions in terms of physical things.

As a visual it’s fine. The debate here is the language. Only one aspect needs to change.

> When it came to files, he saw that as a problem that needed to be solved in the system, but I think it is more confusing on the iPad than macOS

I completely agree, and I think this is probably iOS' single biggest design mistake. In trying to hide away difficulties non-power users face managing a filesystem, they've managed to make things both more confusing for novice users and just plain annoying for power users.

I think the issue is that most computer users do understand at least a little about filesystems. They might lose things or accidentally delete or overwrite things, but I think many many people are reasonably okay with the concept "my things are in files, my files are in a folder".

But the app-centric model iOS uses becomes unnecessarily difficult when you need to do anything with a file that extends beyond viewing it in the software that created it. Emailing or copying a file is an incredibly common thing to need to do, yet some of the most technophobic people I know can manage it just fine on a PC because the process is the same for any and every file. The hardest part for them is usually just remembering where they put it.

That one problem is solved by an app-centric file model, but introduces a much bigger problem in that the mechanism to share or copy a file is different for every app! It might be under an "export" option, or it might be under a little abstract picture of a square with an upwards pointing arrow—because of course, everyone universally understands that square-with-upwards-arrow is how you email this to Steve in accounts...

(Yes the share icon is fairly standard across iOS apps, but it could be and is located all over the place, and I'm not convinced it's intuitive that step one of "emailing a document" is "open Word").
It clearly is. As the article makes out, the tax code and regulation favours large vehicles. Gas is cheap. Acting alone, there are few reasons to buy a smaller car if you can afford a bigger one. This is exactly the market “working” and why regulation is necessary to change it.
I don’t know about IEEE in particular, but -

> 2. People don’t actually care about this anyway

Is substantially different from “this doesn’t generate value”, “the people who do not care would were they to engage with it” (ie: the justification for marketing anywhere), and “people, especially young people, know how to evaluate this kind of thing.”

In particular, there’s a generation gap around networking, professional organizations, etc, and indeed that may be because those organizations aren’t valuable, or it could be some combination of “the older generation didn’t explain this to the younger” and “the younger generation is convinced it knows everything it needs to”, and I suspect if you’re old enough at least some part of that will ring true to you.
Some of us actively hate big cars for daily use and are angered at the "SUV" (usually neither sport nor utility) unithink forced on us, and are frustrated how hard it is to find anything different.

I want basically an electric Miata for around town, can't get one.

I also want an actual utility vehicle with a long, solid, roof rack to haul a canoe or sheet of plywood. SUV roof racks are usually token, if at all. A plain old "station wagon" that's not 6 feet tall would be just fine but they don't make those any more. I settle for an Outback but it's not ideal.

So neither of my two usecases are served at all.

It seems the de-extinction efforts help reinforce the rewilding and land conservation efforts. If an area has been populated by these reintroduced species it may be more resistant (politically if not physically) to human development.

Just googled that car and apprently it’s nearly 5 meters long, longer than a BMW 3 Series, it’s funny that’s considered a small car over there because that’d be considered a big one over here (not even mid-sized).

Over here: small is anything from a Smart to a Renault Twingo/Ford Fiesta/VW Polo.

Medium: VW Golf, Ford Focus.

Large: anything bigger than medium.
what's the "serverless tax"?
Because it costs energy and effort to collect damaged plastic and turn it into new plastic. More than it costs to just use some oil to do it.

They are doing a daily dump.
Even worse, many times SUVs are built on the same chassis as cars. Honda builds both the HR-V and CR-V on the Civic chassis, the Toyota RAV-4 is a Corolla underneath, and the Ford Escape is built on the Focus. This means many mid-sized SUVs are just tall cars.
Important to add: virtual servers. They don't offer physical servers in the US, as far as I remember they're not running their own data centers.
The goal of the project is absolutely to release them into the wild. And their historical range is still largely empty of humans. There is enough space for everyone if we are willing to do it.
I have both DO and Hetzner VMs and I find them comparable, with Hetzner being a bit cheaper. If I look at the logs and fail2ban, it looks like DO does a bit more abusive traffic filtering, but that is basically the only difference.

However, the DO docs are on a different level and high quality. But those are also accessible if you are not a customer.
The elephant population is about 500,000. Using one or two as surrogates isn't going to change things much in itself. It's humans multiplying and taking their land which is more the issue.

I'm truly interested in your thoughts... where would you discover truly hard problems? What do you feel would make you qualified to work on them, over, say someone else? enough to prove it to someone that could authorize such a salary and expenditure of time? Unless you were self-funded, of course. I've always wondered where and how would you discover what the edge of the knowledge and science actually is, and stay ahead of it? That is, to prevent reinventing the wheel and not to waste time? Just wondering as I've understood it by a lot of people over my career lifetime. Thank You.
Still driving my truck, sorry.
Wow these self-driving cars are more like humans than I thought. I see people cross into opposing traffic to bypass a jam and make a left all the time.
Note they currently only offer AMD VMs in the US though, they don't have Intel VMs, Ampere VMs, or any dedicated bare-metal boxes there.

I don't think I really disagree with you, but I think the economic models and tech that would be required for people in more remote areas (in the US at least) to solely rely on 3rd parties for transportation is so far in the future that it's basically unknowable from our current position.

That is, for many areas, I don't think it's just a case of the tech improving bit-by-bit and taking over more and more areas. I think that will happen in some ways, but take for example a friend of mine who lives in Pennsylvania. Where he lives is a far-out suburb, but he often drives out to rural areas on the weekend to go camping, or he drives long distances to various client sites. Forget the tech, I just don't see how an economic model of a self-driving car company would make these kinds of trips feasible anytime in the foreseeable future.
That one is especially confusing to me because they even have the imprezza hatchback which likes identical to a crosstrek if you squint your eyes. Maybe they don’t sell that one anymore?

We have been doing some experiment on optimizing for size, and currently it can be reduced to ~3k on 8-bit AVR. It only contains impl/table for single-precision binary32, and double-precision requires quite more, but at the same time much of the bloat is due to how limited AVR is. On platforms like x64 it should be much smaller.

You can certainly say 3k is still huge though.
Sounds like it's safest for me and my family to physically prevent you from doing that.

See how deranged this line of escalation is? How sick in the soul I would have to be to choose to harm your family to increase the safety of mine? Can you see what kind of world you're building when you advocate this?
