The Sobering Facts About Egg Freezing That Nobody’s Talking About
What's the best approach to using fit on Windows? I am comfortable with git basics on the Linux command line, and I want to teach it to students who are using Windows.

Is there a windows command line version, or is there a GUI version I should start them on?
Interesting thoughts--thanks for sharing. If one wished to read further on this topic, are there any resources you would recommend?

Also, your comment about epileptic cascades made me think... Could it be that political and socioeconomic struggle and headbutting within a city is a sign of that?
If I'm a day-trader, buying and selling stocks, and making a living on this, is the profit income or capital gains?

This is not an edge case; it's a well-settled point of law.

Capital gains are related to the disposition of assets intended to be held for investment. Stocks are generally such assets and the disposition of stocks results in capital gain income (or capital losses). Apples are not intended for investment; they are intended for consumption. Ergo, the sales of apples results in normal income. (Note that for stockbrokers, stocks are also treated as inventory because by definition they are not in the business of holding stocks for investment.)

Buying and selling stocks as a day trader is not the type of capital trading that governments want to incentivize, so they treat income arising from this type of activity as "short term capital gains." In most countries, including the US, short term capital gains are taxed at the same rates as normal income, which is the scenario that would apply to your day traders. Consequently, the day traders and apple sellers are taxed in essentially the same manner.

It is only if capital assets are held for a sufficiently long period of time (in most countries 1 year, though in some countries as little as 6 months) that the true capital gains rates apply. This is where the day traders may come out ahead--if they hold on to some of the stocks traded for at least 1 year.
Why is it the case that there 'no reason to tax savings'? Tools rust, food rots, houses fall down. One can't save useful things indefinitely without cost.

Why, then, is it inherently true that a government (or other entity) should provide citizens a mechanism to store the means to buy those things indefinitely for free?
to me, i work for capital and put as much as i can into investment to make money on capital gains/dividends. to try and make whats left over from my work to grow even more.

but lately there's been a chorus such as this one in attempt to change social opinion to tax capital gains more. to do so, you must start drawing lines, using this vs that.
The thing with React is that either Facebook's engineers are incredibly prescient or lucky. React very is really well designed and feels natural with ES6.

It's so incredibly designed, even without the ES6 optimizations of 0.12.0 (coming soon) you can code today in ES6 (I use 6to5 with JSX transformer harmony just in case).
FWIW, React will be in ES6 (with native classes and imports) before they tag 1.0. In fact, React 0.12 has some breaking changes to prepare for that transition.
They did something similar with the hangouts gchat replacement in gmail. You cannot log out. You are always signed in. This annoyed me to no end.
And that matters how? I'm not from the US, so I'm more concerned about Google and Apple avoiding local taxes here as well.

Also, I'm sure IKEA avoids local taxes as good as possible as well.
Data binding, directives, MVC front end + the adoption of Node is what made it popular IMHO.

A day trader pays short-term capital gains, which are taxed at income rates. Long-term capital gains kick in after the asset has been held more than a year.

I'm not certain, but I think that the long-term rates could apply if you held your apples for more than a year.
George McGovern (liberal politician who turned entrepreneur) wrote a great piece about his experience in business after politics. Maybe Hillary should read it (or start a business, since she has no private sector background).

"In retrospect, I wish I had known more about the hazards and difficulties of such a business, especially during a recession of the kind that hit New England just as I was acquiring the inn's 43-year leasehold. I also wish that during the years I was in public office, I had had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day. That knowledge would have made me a better U.S. senator and a more understanding presidential contender."

Ever since reading Angular 2's goals, I put 2 and 2 together, the API was definitely going to have to change massively to accommodate ES6.

I'm sure they're using Object.observe it just wasn't mentioned in the presentation.

Does Linux just map the executable into memory, and then let it load memory fault by memory fault? Or is the entire executable, or some large portion therof, loaded at startup?
No, the correct argument is that many things can be taxed: creation, value enhancement, consumption, disposition, investment, wealth, transfers, transfers across borders, etc. (You're also still confusing savings taxes with investment taxes, which are not even remotely the same thing.)Which of these is taxed is a function of political ideology.

If you tax consumption, you might also tax wealth, if a large portion of the income of the economy is concentrated in the hands of those who consume very little. Indeed, that is the entire point of having a wealth tax--to force consumption which can then be taxed.

You have misstated Piketty's argument, as has Chris Stucchio. Piketty's argument is that allowing wealth to concentrate in the hands of a few is the biggest threat to the stability of modern economic systems because it ultimately means that less money is available to everyone else, which restricts growth. He is very much in favor of wealth taxes to force the distribution of this wealth to a wider range of the economy precisely to keep the cash flowing. He's not arguing for capital gains taxes--indeed, he opposes them, and has argued that capital gains should be taxed no differently from ordinary income.
That does sound like a pretty powerful optimization!
I sure appreciate people who are willing to write openly about personal experiences with mental illness. It's difficult to deal with, but many times it seems the hardest part of finding an effective treatment for individuals is getting past the stigma.
100% agree.

When I choose a model, I choose that model for a reason. I get frustrated when I get a car that doesn't have features in the way I'd expect.

If I were buying the car, maybe I'd have time to get used to the placement of controls and the handling. If I'm renting for a short period of time, I don't have as much time to get used to the quirks of a particular vehicle. I want the experience to be as close to cars I'm familiar with, so I care about the model. This is even more important in cities with a lot of traffic and congestion.

Whether the experience is positive or not almost always comes down to the car I get stuck with.

What is the scope of an on-topic pros and cons discussion, though? It seems that the relative comparison should include competitors, especially given how large of a change this apparently will be. For a current user of Angular it isn't a certainty that will make them a user of 2.0.
A "read buffer" overflow is still nothing but a program reading some form of input and then overwriting the buffer. The target program has to read to somewhere -- namely to the buffer -- and thus it has to write over the boundaries of the buffer.

Because the buffer is local to the function, and because the function return address happens to reside at a higher address than the buffer itself, you probably get to overwrite the return address. Thus, after the function is executed, the execution doesn't return to the call-site but to the address you specified. Place your payload code in the buffer you provided, and overwrite the function return address to be the address of your buffer and you might do all sorts of fun things. Spawn a root shell (if suid binary), spawn a reverse shell, execute a kernel exploit to get root etc.
Shares paid as compensation are taxed as ordinary income pretty much everywhere that they have an income tax. Capital gains are only imposed on the later sale of those shares, and only if the CEO sells those shares for more money than they were worth when they were given to him.

I don't think this is a flame war at all, I think people are pissed at all these breaking changes. I've seen them coming from miles away, I'm still a little distant from Angular until it's API modernizes and matures.

I think people like to mention React because every since it was publicized last year Facebook has had ES6 integration in mind. With Angular, 2's goals have been up for a long time but I don't think many people thought about how much the API would have to change to accommodate the new features.
Of course, a properly crafted program can always arbitrarily obfuscate strings.

But if you manage to trick libbfd into thinking it's looking at a particular format, you can hide plain text from a simple "strings" invocation even in files that are not executable. I've been using "strings" on all kinds of files, not only executables, and assumed that it will always display all sequences of printable characters present in the file.
They should have precised "(not that Michael Jordan)" in the title. That's a click-trap! ^^
I don't see the vulnerability here either. The current responses to your post don't actually point to any exploitable vulnerability either.

90% is certainly high. But he's not that far from the truth. A lot of companies do expect anyone working with JS to know Angular... which is not good for me. I'm really not a fan of that framework.

No, both labor and investors spend their after-tax money. Labor spends it on living expenses and their after-tax money is gone forever, while the investors spend their after-tax money on capital assets. The difference is that only the investor has a chance to make even more money from his spending. This is viewed as desirable behavior, and so the additional income he could earn from his original pile of money is taxed at a lower rate.
It's time to start converting the low-level Linux/UNIX utilities to a language with subscript checking. Go, or Rust (if and when it's finished), or D, or something. We have some good options now.
No, you're right, I think the parent comment was referring to using cat or grep on binaries.
So do you have an example of a PEG parser that uses these so called memorisation optimisation techniques then?

Indeed. I work in a similar kind of product. I was talking about the
majority of cases though. There are even cases where the mobile app is
the core and only technology.

Now what would be interesting questions though are:
1) How many people work in the backend and how many work in each
of the respective front-ends.

2) Suppose that you had 2 front-end interfaces, angular(for the web) and
an android app(it could be an iPhone app, it doesn't matter). How
many backend devs would need to know or actively interact with the
angular front-end and how many would need to interact with the android
app.

In my case, none of the backend people(a lot) need to interact with the mobile
codebase(2-people team for every mobile type), while all of us need to
help or interact with the web front-end.

I see similar scenarios with most of the companies I interact or know about.
The mobile team is almost always autonomous and can accomplish a lot
with just a few people. While hords of people are thrown into the web frontend,
even if it's not their primary specialty. Hence the need for fullstack
developers. Why? Because the JS ecosystem sucks and we still don't have a
real integrated solution. I hope that this will change, preferably before
I retire.
No, sometimes you don't really know what something is without holding it up to a yardstick. Flamewars are annoying, but this isn't a flamewar.

Capital Gains simply affects the monetary value of a the capital. It has no real value increase. No physical good or novelty is created from capital gains. Thus, it's rent.

Labor & Capital tends to create physical goods and/or novelty. Thus labor, when applied toward sustainable pursuits, makes our lives, as a civilization, better.

Capital gains, providing "incentive" to invest, may or may not improve sustainability & global health. Global warming, resource depletion, poverty, hunger despite enough food being produced, & innefficient allocation of resources due to profit motive, corruption, rampant war, etc. indicate that the "incentive" is detrimental to sustainability & global health.
Laura Poitras Interview on Citizenfour
I have to agree. Will there be backwards compatibility? If not, upgrading to angular 2 is going to require so much work and we'll probably end up switching frameworks. This could end up like Python 2 & 3.
See the post about Google's AtScript that was on HN yesterday.
It's not the utilities themselves that are the bigger problem - rather a library the utility uses. libbfd in this case. Problem with writing libraries in anything other than C of course is that they are not very usable by a large variety of software.
even on 'valid' binaries, it still tends to mess up your terminal. I noticed that pretty quickly when I started working with Linux. Are there really people that work with cat and grep on binaries files ?
Or, the authors of Linux/UNIX utilities should have implemented and should be implementing bound checking. It seems excessive to switch languages rather than encourage stronger programming habits.

Are there rules attached to the plurality of (so called) open source licenses, or even OSI approved licenses? Not really.

Are you finding this particular tracking code acceptable? Apparently not.

So there was never any coherent whole that could have found something unacceptable to begin with and in the end there are still disparate parts that continue to find it unacceptable.

I guess this is an obvious and tiresome answer, but I'm not sure what else you would expect anyone to say.
pandoc can do footnotes `[^1]` and citations `@citekey` but not internal references (like \ref{fig:blag} in latex). This is a problem for academic writing.

I'm determined to write my thesis in markdown and recently wrote a pandoc filter that implements internal references using `#fig:blah`, with an `\autoref` like implementation. It works for figures, sections and equations and for html and latex output.

Where does the wealth in those dividend checks sent off quarterly to the type of idle class heirs you can watch in documentaries like "Born Rich" come from? It comes from the wealth created by Labor. Workers work and create wealth, and get to keep the first few hours worth of wealth they create. The last few hours of the day, they are made to work for free, with the dividend checks and profits sent off to these heirs and such.

Why should labor cooperate with these parasite heirs who suck off of their wealth-creating ability? Labor hasn't historically, and doubtless will in the future. Capitalism is the fourth major economic system the world has seen, and a rather unstable one. Marx said crises like 2008's $700 billion TARP bailout were harbingers of an eventual total economic collapse, and I for one believe that - one day the economy will go into the ditch and no bailout, New Deal or libertarian type solution will get it going again.

Ah, I see. Fair enough, but I don't think it was ever a great assumption that "strings" would uncover all the text in a file. There are so many ways to screw with a file at the byte level that could confuse "strings" but still appear fine when read by an application.
What I see is that in taxes there is never enough. The always want to raise it higher and higher, until politicians confiscate all the wealth for their selves.

In Spain we have 21% VAT taxes,and progressive over 53% maximum income taxes. If you have a house they add property taxes, and this year capital gains have been considered as income taxes.

It is not enough, politicians want at least 23% VAT, and the left party wants to raise the income taxes as it is "fair". They want to remove inflation coefficients so they could confiscate 50% of the value of everything you have when you sell it.

In the new year, people that sell old houses will have to pay more than 30% in taxes(30% of the principal, not the benefit).

Meanwhile we discover that they took the public money of the public banks(cajas) to basically pay themselves luxury life, each one expending half a million dollars in credit card expenses OVER their multimillionaire salaries.

Parties like the socialist party(PSOE),PSOE accepted checks of 50 million euros dollars from the cajas that never paid back.

They took loans from the European Union to help nonworking population, over 1000 million euros and gave it to their friends and family.

They destroyed all the wealth they could touch and you tell me that higher taxes are necessary?

Or, more generally, memory safety.

Of the three you described, Rust makes the strongest memory safety guarantees. Neither D nor Rust require a complicated runtime. I'd say this isn't really Go's intended area of usage.

Also, Go is missing things like ASLR and DEP (last time I checked), which means that if you link to any vulnerable non-Go code using cgo (which is almost inevitable when writing core utils), or if you find a good bug in the Go runtime, it's trivial to get code execution.
Well, then let me thank you for making the service work and keeping it clean.
I'm trying to think of a time I would ever need to access technical documentation on a phone. Developers typically access documentation when developing and they typically develop on large (over 13") screens.
This isn't really an ideal article to kick off a series of debates that could be very interesting. It's trying to relate too many concepts from taxation theory to economic stimulation to labor management, etc, etc.

If the main point is to ask if capital or labor risks more the answer is trivial: capital. There is a -100% downside for investment and minimum positive earnings for labor. On the other hand capital has an unlimited upside, while labor does not.

A more interesting question would be how to you optimize the opportunity between capital and labor?
