One thing to remember before hosting your blog on Github is that content seems to be censored by them far more actively than other platforms (e.g. Wordpress)

Case in point -- this parody account that was shut down by Github (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/12/19/feminist_software_fo...) without any legal need for the same. You may think today "Oh, that's fine, they were assholes anyway", but in principle, the same thing could happen to you tomorrow if your blog conflicts with the Github values du jour.
Are the bonuses often contractual and not discretionary? If so, they're not really bonuses.
Right... but if you "punish" a very successful trader by giving him/her a lower-than-agreed-to bonus (for traders, the bonus should be a percentage of their realized PnL) because of actions of some higher-level executives, the only effect that will have is that the trader will go to a different company that will pay him what he is worth.
Does not support `flushdb` or `flushall` - I assume these had to be commented out?
"One" is actually reasonable close, e.g. "one does not simply walk into Mordor" but it certainly lacks the informality (and therefore frequency of use) that "on" has in French or the reflexive "se" in Spanish.
You may already know this, but actually even a lot of modern game engines use nonphysical methods for moving characters - it's hard to make the character feel responsive using only impulses and friction, etc. I'm working on such an engine at the moment, and it wound up taking some hacking (e.g. I turn off the player's friction when a movement key is pressed - which makes sense when you think about it but seemed nonphysical at first!).

With that said, you've reminded me of an example of this. Years ago I was making a "UFO catcher" crane game in Flash, where the user moves a thingy left and right, and an attached crane arm swings freely like a pendulum. At first I thought: this isn't a damned physics simulation, I'll just hack something up. Then I spent probably a whole day trying to get it to not feel so wrong. Then finally I break down and get the formula for pendulum motion off wikipedia, and 15 minutes later it works perfectly - with maybe three lines of physics code. :D
California's three-strikes law was supported by a 72-28 vote in a public referendum. At the time of the vote, nation-wide, the public supported keeping marijuana illegal by an over 70-30 margin: http://www.people-press.org/2013/04/04/majority-now-supports....

Well, in fact first I filled title, url and text: error message from HN ("sorry you can not have both title and url in the same post"). Ok, Then I deleted the title and put just the url and text before to re-send, having two error messages more ("try to send the post again" or so...), finally with title and url in text the post was accepted by HN... I don't know why.
Yes, it has been, from my metrics at least - with predictable results! (Seems to be a phased/tranched rollout.)

Don't get CloudFlare to budge you to another IP, you'll never know what may or may not be listed - most of the content on the default filter is not porn. This is Sky's problem, not CloudFlare's.

It's deplorable, but entirely predictable (and they were repeatedly and loudly warned!) that innocent bystander sites have been blocked by the censorship on Sky's broadband network that people haven't even asked for.

Have you perhaps considered legal action against Sky?

You may also want to let them know, but they can't admin the filter themselves (last I heard), so can't whitelist you, and the equipment they have cannot proxy the site on their list without also affecting yours. (That you share an IPv4 address is not itself an issue with CloudFlare.)

Don't mind me, I'm just getting snacks. This is going to get worse.

Very much my main reason for preferring mercurial to git. Has there been any real talk in re-factoring the UI for a major-version of git? Clearly it would break some things, but simple stuff, like settling on rm or remove or delete etc... seems like a good idea?

On the other hand, I suppose the git-plugin[1] for mercurial is good enough, that there's really no reason to use git for those that feel strongly about the UI?

It's cool. But why do we need to put redis in a browser (client side)? Just for fun?
This does not appear to be a solution to the problem of manipulation by a dedicated group of confederates. In fact, "voat" seems to be a bit worse off, as users with no history are being granted ownership over its version of subreddits.

Doing much better at a large scale (i.e. beyond what a few known high quality moderators can tackle) is a Hard Problem™. An important and timely one, to boot, considering governments' efforts to erode privacy and enforce real-name identity.
> "The results are remarkably consistent across all sectors and all forms of privatisation and outsourcing: there is no empirical evidence that the private sector is intrinsically more efficient"

Exactly this. I've spent years in both sectors. People suck at running things, not governments.
I work in banking as just another cog. We suffered wage stagnation and no bonuses. The executives on the other hand still got at least a 10% bonus each year, because they had contracts. So, please keep that in mind when it says 'employees'.

Any available benchmarks?
I did sell streams for several years, and have to claim please do !NOT! use icecast. The "standard" streaming server is still shoutcast (sc_trans_040/sc_serv), even if this software is not maintained for nearly 10 years, since AOL bought Nullsoft.

Icecast extends the Shoutcast protocol at several places. This might be great news, if you have Icecast clients, but most of the shelf radios and tvs can only do ages old shoutcast.

An other warning: Do not use cloud providers like amazon, where traffic costs extra money, if you stream more then once. 1000 peak listeners calls to run your own cloud of cheap root servers and vps servers, and I also advise on GeoIP-DNS, with Nagios plugin to throttle servers that are already under load, and disable those who went down. You might do a lot of provider hopping in the early stage, so avoid long contracts. 500 average listeners is the legal distinction between a radio and an internet service for ASCAP, if you stream music. But 500 average is at least 10k in peak.

Wouldn't help in general. Firstly, lots of sites on Sky's default block list aren't porn.

Secondly, StartSSL is a terrible certificate authority who charges for revocations (even after Heartbleed) in clear contravention of CA/B Forum guidelines. Perhaps wait for Let's Encrypt later in the year instead.

Thirdly, this also affects shared hosting. We are now out of IPv4 addresses in RIPE, and we need encryption everywhere - IPv6 is one solution but SNI and shared hosting is an essential transitional tool. That's why CloudFlare have deployed it the way they have. Censorship simply can't be allowed to stand in the way.

Sky need to fix their shit here, which is to say, turn it back off by default.
I'd be happy with set and splice. Text isn't really a big deal for my use case. Will have more of a read through your code later today too. Thanks for posting.

Great support list! Thanks for that. My customers all use the latest Chrome, so I'm ok with fairly bleeding edge features.
Because for many of us what matters are the customers, not the tooling religion.
Actually they are distinguishable - many of my interactions with banks and insurance companies make the government look like a well-oiled machine.
What is a "general tax avoidance rule"?

Generally, tax evasion is a crime that can and should be prosecuted. Everyone agrees with that.

Tax avoidance, or tax planning, is in Wikipedia terms "the legal usage of the tax regime to one's own advantage to reduce the amount of tax that is payable by means that are within the law."

So, tax avoidance is the kind of behaviour that is explicitly and clearly legal. Now someone wants to make a "rule", apparently to somehow punish for it?

Of course there are loopholes and quirks in any tax system, and people are exploiting them. Particularly the rich. But the solution is to close loopholes and make the tax system simpler and clearer, not have a "general tax avoidance rule" which I take to mean arbitrary confiscation and punishment according to political whims.
This is "free speech" as in "I can silence/harrass whatever marginalised group I want" right?

Just checking.
Thanks Tiz, we've put a lot of research into it and those that have used it, love it. Hope you do too. We're constantly working on it to make it better too

> Your bonus is a direct function of what you make

Isn't the point of the article that this is demonstrably untrue?
Contractual doesn't mean guaranteed. You could have a bonus that's contractually tied to a certain set of conditions being met (e.g. personal objectives). If the employee meets those objectives and the company doesn't pay out, they could be in breach, regardless of their financial situation.
People do pay taxes. Very few don't. This kind of diatribe just gives governments mindshare to promote even more aggressive and punitive taxes.
@crdoconnor I'm from Singapore. It's not so simple. We're primarily a city state with just under 3.5 million citizens — mostly highly educated, geared towards 'professional jobs'. In short, nobody wants to work in the service industry.

Coupled with some political issues of the last 3 years (mostly resentment towards lower income migrant workers from neighbouring countries), we went from "our entire service industry — and construction and retail and manufacturing and everything other than high end jobs — IS staffed by low wage workers" to "holy shit, let's not let too many of them in and only bring in the educated folks with degrees".

This has created and worsened the labour situation. Additionally, with some of the highest residential and commercial rents in the world (on par with or similar to Manhattan), it's a very big gap to fill. I have lots of friends who run F&B establishments — and it's something they're all grappling with. Retail, too. You seem to not be able to hire any Singaporeans for the love of money, of any amount. It sucks, esp since we have super exciting growth in our food/bar scene right now.

Remutable looks really impressive. I'm a little leery of the rest of it, though, as it means my backend is no longer a simple REST API. I'm also rather nonplussed that the full-stack Flux doesn't include optimistic display with loading icon, error state, and rollback handling out of the box. It doesn't even seem like an easy thing to do manually with this setup, though I haven't played with it enough to know.

Few minor questions: it looks like a base Remutable must be an Immutable.Map(). Can child items be any of the Immutable datatypes? Do we get updateIn() and similar?
That means shareholders will be taxed twice, once at the corporate level, and once at the individual level, leading to double taxation (unless a tax credit is given).

But, like you, I'm a big fan of a simple flat tax, with relatively little deductions.

The part about "Wilbarger Protocol" sounds like torture.

"When he was unable to regulate the information coming into his brain, I would perform a process called the Wilbarger Protocol. It was intimate. I would move a soft brush on Scooter’s arms, legs, neck, and back. Then he would put his hand in mine and I would grab his fingers one at a time, compressing the joints in toward his palm. Firm but gentle, confident but caring. I would watch his face, look for some tension to drop from it and then linger there, count to 10 in my head, and then move on to the next one."
It seems they still have a voting system in place, that prohibits any thoughtful discussion. Usually works on HN since most topics are not controversial. How is the moderation on that site different from Reddit where mods are proclaimed Gods and picks who gets to say what?
Rich people get their income typically as capital gains, and I expect the income brackets above are given for earned income, which is a different thing.

It is not really feasible to tax capital gains with a progressive system. You can make a small case for progressive taxes on capital gains by allowing a basic deduction, but the transaction cost of moving the capital gains somewhere else are generally quite small.

(Just for information, I live in a country from where people are leaving as tax refugees to Sweden).
HN has always been much worse than Reddit in regards to admin censorship, moderator bias, and non-transparency. It's not a conspiracy, it's principles. HN doesn't deserve to have any new social site on its front page. (Flagged? Moderated? You'll never know.)
Often, the purpose of a GAAR is to stop people from setting up artificial arrangements just for the purpose to avoid tax.

Let's say you sell something in the UK, and then route the money around the world to make use of loopholes in the laws of various countries, only to have the profit end up in the UK again.

Hence my argument about large scale fraud (only possible with electronics) vs. small scale fraud. Fraud with paper and ballot boxes is extremely hard to organize at large, because it would involve a couple of orders of magnitude more people to conspire.
The problem is one i can sympathise with to some degree. For standard wage levels taxation (whilst still to much in UK) makes sense. Scale that up to millions and it really is out of wack. There is no moral reason why a government deserves 50% of everything you have made.

Its like when you order a more expensive bottle of wine, and the restaurant's service charge is a percentage of it... its ridiculous to charge $100 to open a bottle of wine.

But we don't live in a democracy, and expect better from the Republic bound by the Constitution, which is pretty clear about unjust punishment.

If a democracy and majority rule were the true rule of the land, we may still have segregation, slavery, illegal mixed-race marriages, and so on, and so on...

Now look at what class our electorate is largely made up of. Mix that with a little Citizens United and it becomes clear again that money controls government (and now rather blatantly) and it's not often that decisions are made that benefit the weakest among us - drug policy and the war on drugs being just one example.

Of course, this is not a scientific study, and there may have been other influences in their improvement. But a definite improvement has been made.

You're assuming that their performance is directly proportional to the performance of the market as a whole. My understanding is it's tied to how they perform against an index like the S&P 500. The S&P 500 lost something like 50% over 2008, so even if a trader lost 25%, they outperformed the market by a lot and deserve (according to their contract) the bonus.
