The guidance published by the state says explicitly that a business collects the tax from the consumer as an agent of the state, and that the taxes collected belong to the state rather than to the business. If it was a tax on the business,

That sounds like a feature request to Google, not an indictment of the NYT.

Well, don’t get yourself sued and you won’t have to perform discovery for the plaintiffs.

Welcome to discovery. It’s what happens when you get sued. Meanwhile, OpenAI talking about invading privacy sounds an awful lot like a claim with unclean hands.

Go run a local retail business in conflict with state law and regulations. Then tell me how irrelevant those laws are.

As long as the largest bills fit and the smallest bills don’t get lost I don’t understand how it’s so much harder.

Crutches and canes can be easier on a ramp, too. Even people with fine balance but limits on movement of the hip, knee, or ankle can benefit.

IIRC, in New York it’s illegal to absorb sales tax on individual items because by law it’s a consumer tax collected by the business and explicitly not a tax on the business itself, but - and it’s a pretty big exception - anything sold as a

I think 3 and 4 are separate forks, but I could be misremembering.

Opening a security issue is not the problem. A public disclosure so soon when there are so many machine-assisted reports for such obscure issues is the problem. If Google wants to force a faster turnaround on the fixes, they can send the re

In the industry I think folks generally know what they’re feeding into it and what they’re wanting out of it. When there’s a handoff between companies the stream encoding, bitrate, and resolution are generally part of the project spec. With

Regarding white coat hypertension, the shot isn’t always necessary. Some people’s blood pressure just goes up from the stress of the clinical setting.

I like the points made in the article. I hate this overloading of the term.

You seem to view them as opposites because you expect ownership to mean that all employees are motivated to have a sense of ownership over the whole process. There’s some benefit to that, sure. The meaning the article is using is that there

Yes, security is by definition adversarial. Thanks for the most basic lesson. How are you getting ffmpeg to process a stream or file type different from the one you’re expecting? Most use cases of ffmpeg are against known input and known ou

It’s a security issue for a stream type almost nobody uses. It’s a little like saying your graphics program in 2025 is exploitable by a malformed PCX file, or your music player has a security bug only when playing an Impulse Tracker module.

The difference is that Google does use it, though. They use it heavily. All of us in the video industry do - Google, Amazon, Disney, Sony, Viacom, or whoever. Companies you may have never heard of build it into their solutions that are used

You’re right about scoring, at least largely. Let’s not conflate the CVE system and the CVSS system, though. They are related but distinct. CVE is just an identifier system.

You can put art through all sorts of scientific and technical analysis. Being analyzed is how we teach the techniques to new artists. A mechanical reproduction of it from that analysis is not art, though, and sometimes you get the break the

The scale is different but the principle is still quite similar.

Oh, yeah. The call overhead specifically isn’t all that onerous though is it? For your example you’re also talking about making a memory copy, and unless you have hardware multiply you’re doing looping addition. Most Forths I’ve dealt with

For a modern Forth on a modern platform, not so much because there’s been so much work done on optimizing C compilers. You can get pretty close, though. On some of the older platforms, certain implementations were very low level. There are

The article mentions the performance penalty of using a threaded interpreted language, but Forth compilers to native code do exist for several platforms.

The “sanctuary city” label was applied to local governments doing what local governments are supposed to do. There’s nothing in the US Constitution which forces cities, counties, and states to enforce Federal laws. That’s why there are Fede

It is a free market issue, because when an oligopsony controls what can be bought and sold you don’t have a free market. These hardware vendors are controlling the market for software for their devices, and buyers are not free to make their
