What are PGMs? Did you mean precious metals?

Here is a question for you: If inflation occurs, why would people want to save money and clear debt? In an inflationary environment, debt is great because you only have to pay it back in future dollars. Likewise, saving money is bad in an inflationary environment because your money is worth less.

Right now we are in a long-term deflationary environment as trillions in fake value are erased from the residential and commercial real estate market.

Even if the Fed gave $1 million checks to every american, it probably wouldn't cause as much inflation as you think because a lot of people would just pay off their mortgages and credit card debts, then save the rest. Right now all of the Fed increasing their balance sheet is just sitting in reserves at banks, not being spent.

In order to really cause inflation, the Fed has to increase the velocity of money changing hands. They haven't been able to do this yet.
Understood about the acquirer. But is there a list somewhere of the revenue they generate from which source?

The FAQ through their support (listed in another post here) mentions that they want to get women's clothing working good first and then they will be adding men's clothing in the future.
The Intel SSDs are good; they top out at 160GB and they're not as fast as some of the newer drives - but their track record is nearly flawless. It's what I have, but I ordered one the minute it was posted on Newegg last year. Some of the newer Sandforce-based drives are supposed to be good, though you'll want to pick one from a reliable manufacturer and with a stable firmware. If you have a Mac, OWC[1] is a good choice, as I believe they have firmware that garbage-collects HFS+, which helps to keep the SSD as fast as possible. I also think OCZ is good, but check reviews to make sure people aren't having too many problems.

You can also get a brackets that replaces your optical drive, and allows you to fit a 2.5" HDD. I have one in my 17" non-unibody MBP, and it's really the best of both worlds - I keep OS X, my working files and apps on the SSD, along with my main Windows XP web testing VM. My iTunes library, media, and games stay on the HDD, along with a Boot Camped copy of Windows 7 (though it's a pain to get the installer to run without an internal optical drive). I keep a cheap Samsung bus-powered DVD burner in my bag, but in reality I rarely need it. I think OWC sells a bracket for Macs, but if you can figure out exactly which bracket you need, a site called newmodeus.com sells them for almost every laptop ever made for considerably less.

I really do believe my SSD is the best upgrade I've ever spent money on; no computer I use from now on will be without one. It's not so much that the computer is faster; it's more the feeling that the computer does not grind to a halt or slow down, no matter what's going on. (I may have compared my computer to the Terminator amongst friends once or twice… it just doesn't slow down.)

It's an community news site with some features borrowed from HN and StackOverflow. These are two sites I value for their high quality discussion, which I aim on bringing to the climbing community.

It runs on appengine and tornado:

Don't get me wrong. Lengthy TOS is an issue of itself. It's just that users who seek privacy should know how to evaluate it.

We are kind of getting closer to improve the situation with... GDPR. Makes software owners come up with, uh-oh, consent dialogs. Pro: User can see where his data go. And presenting this info is a requirement. Cons: Those annoying dialogs...
Well, it loads instantly and I can read it just fine on my mobile device, which is more than I can say for half of "mobile friendly" sites out there, so there's that...

Anyway, he mentioned about a year ago that he knows the design of his blog is outdated, and he was looking at making it more modern.

The problem is, the person who refuses to understand this, typically includes the senior guys in InfoSec who own this, and will continue to do so irregardless of how you present it.

I mean, who else is buying a SEIM, asking for all logs, and then hoping it'll take care of everything? That's the CISO, Director, VP, Head Of, etc.
I'm still confused by Model Release forms. If I take a photo of someone, I own the rights to the photo. So I can publish it and make money. But they own the rights to their likeness, so they can sue me for money unless I have a signed form. Is that how it works?

If you streamed your sunset shot and I walked into shot, can I sue you for using my likeness without my permission?

And how does this work with DeepFakes? If I DeepFake Sting's head denying climate change, can he sue me for likeness rights?
What's the big deal? It's a non-commercial, non-market, FOSS undertaking that affects the majority of users and systems. "Brand" implies a commercial, for-profit market entity. The idea of "brands" should stay within the for-profit realm, but unfortunately, young people who fell victim to brain slugs (aka corporate interns who hone their skills by "taking part in free software" in their spare time) think it's a good idea to spread this logic of for-profit companies even further, to places where it is NOT needed. It's a kind of "corporate capitalism with a human face" cr_p. And that "friendlier face to new contributors" argument is bull__it, since programmers who want to contribute to foss software are not a herd of scared animals that needs 'friendly' visual cues, and usually know what they are doing. Besides, systemd's development is centralized, and its scope is too large for a single beginner contributor, so it's ideology, like a smiley face and "Welcome!" on a fence of private property.
They didn't even ask their users about their logo, why? They decided to act like an isolated corporate entity instead, contrary to precepts of non-proprietary software. I don't think community development is even a thing nowadays, everything is semi-corporate.
I think there are few important keywords that could facilitate OP's research on this:

- moral relativism and ethical subjectivism: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_relativism
- In-group vs. out-group
Yes I know. This person has been saying 'no one forces you to use atom, just don't use it' as a solution to spying but also says he runs DNS tools to prevent rogue programs.
I enjoy Infected Mushroom and other EDM songs. I find the repetitive nature of the songs to help with focus.
> I doubt you'd find consensus on what qualifies as a "very basic existence".

there doesn't need to be concensus from unrelated parties to the transaction.

If the deliverers accept the conditions (assuming they understand and isn't lied to about it), then that's the level.
No pointer nib, no buy.
Tesla requires a driver. It constantly nags if you don’t keep your hands on the wheel. I can’t sit in the back seat and let it drive all by itself. That’s why it’s driver assistance.
If your lights take seconds to turn on, invest in better technology. Lutron Caseta switches take milliseconds to turn lights on.
Since as Marx shows this is not really in the interest of the upper classes (that is: tyranny and extreme poverty are precisely what leads to a violent reaction by the down-trodden) it may be that

It's not just about violent reactions; simply because extreme poverty does not benefit the very rich in economic terms... in fact, it harms them. And some (maybe a few, maybe most, who knows?) of the very rich understand this; look at what Larry Page and Sergey Brin did in establishing Google's charitable foundation. They understood that - in the end - their ability to grow their business requires a population of healthy, productive, engaged people to do Google searches.

it may be that, through the miracle of technology's abundance, we will continue on a track where we all have a high quality of life, but only a smaller and smaller pool of people "own" the production engines.

If anything, technology seems to be making it easier and easier for people with less capital to produce things. In "our world" (that is, computers, software, web-based consumer sites, etc.) it's already possible to build a software startup with a negligible amount of money. Open Source Software and cheap hosting from Linode, Slicehost, etc. have made this stuff way accessible.

And even in the world of physical goods, every time we turn around we're hearing more about cheap 3d printers that make it possible to spit out real world physical items without a big, expensive factory.

Print-on-demand books make it possible to become an author / publisher for almost no cost. And the "print on demand" concept has been applied to other areas... have artistic talent? You can quickly be in the business of selling your art via the Internet, as clothes, prints, etc.

Now granted, doing something like making jet engines or automobiles still takes a lot of up-front capital, but still... I think the trend is towards more and more forms of production becoming more and more accessible to everyone.

Unless you're talking about Japan, I'm going to ask that you provide hard numbers before throwing statements like this out.
I agree with the OP that there is a lot of marketing bullcrap that gets around in the form of "whitepapers". But WNT has a sizeable server market share and is growing pretty well, so the OS itself is not trash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_system...).
The reason is that there are lots of people on the edge of the cliff fiddling around with carabiners and other bits of gear and it's quite easy to drop one by accident. Being hit by a lump of metal is pretty unpleasant. Climbing helmets are designed to divert glancing blows from falling objects, not save you from falling.

Often with sports climbing you'll see the person belaying (at the bottom holding the rope) wearing a helmet, while the person half way up the climb isn't - the risk is the climber will drop something on the person at the bottom.
With all due respect to Military GPS (which is more accurate than Consumer GPS) it can't identify friendly combatants from unfriendly ones on the ground (and again they have IFF for that).

As far as air strikes they're only called in if you have eyes on the target. The whole process is fairly complicated in that a commander on the ground has to order the air strike from an Analyst (usually in Florida). The analyst then reviews satellite and low altitude surveillance air craft footage to confirm the target and only then is it passed on to the drone pilot (usually in Nevada).

To the best of my knowledge only 2 U.S. soldiers have ever been killed by air-based friendly fire in the modern (aka Predator Drone) era (and I remember because it was only a couple weeks ago and the articles cited it as the first time that had ever happened)
For the complexity it adds not having GC is a detriment of C++. The language makes reasoning about allocation, object ownership, etc, much harder. It does this in the course of providing features intended to help you structure and manage larger pieces of code, and thus accidentally works to defeat that purpose.

I don't think Linus ever intended to declare GC as evil or wrong. He was calling it out as a very poor choice that people persist in making for certain domains.
I'll ride shotgun, er, taser.
A bit off topic, but it's nice to see someone advocating experience over pageviews!

An example of what not to do:
I've been using svpply.com lately, and they recently changed the site so that the products in the "stream" aren't linked directly to the source. You have to click through to a detail page, and then click a link to the source. Totally killed the site for me.
"After Hudson rightfully said no, the engineer responded by hijacking the site, right down to the domain name. And he did a pretty good job of it. No one could help. Other engineers didn’t have the required credentials. His hosting provider had no means to solve the problem. And even GoDaddy (where he registered the domain) couldn’t figure out a good way around the hack that the engineer had devised to hold the site and its contents hostage."

It's strange to me that the registrar would acknowledge that a takeover had happened but wouldn't be able to fix it, unless the domains were transferred to another registrar. The article doesn't give any details, but if that's the case, the lesson there is not to give other people access to your account at that level (GoDaddy provides a feature to prevent exactly that situation: http://www.godaddy.com/account/accountexec.aspx).
Since you are thinking of German-speaking countries, consider Switzerland. The pay is better than in Silicon Valley, and the taxes (in Zurich at least) are lower.
Even worse is that you need a continuing supply of them because of "poisoning" of the catalyst by contaminants in the fuel or oxidizer. Despite decades of research, they have reduced but not eliminated the problem. Also, if you use atmospheric oxygen as the oxidizer, it makes the problem worse since it is even harder to reduce its contaminants.
In the US typically the employer pays for your health insurance and it's not counted towards the salary number.

As for retirement, there is social security in the US, although not many people are happy to base their retirement plans on receiving social security checks. Whether the European retirement systems will fare better, the time will show.

I believe you have a point with respect to severance packages.

I wonder how many ways there are to NOT do crypto. To enumerate them sounds like it might be exhausting.
Jobs was reportedly greatly influenced by Sony's late-70s/early-80s design sense, especially wildly popular consumer products like the Walkman. This book has a brief mention of Apple sharing a building with a Sony office in 1977, though I could've sworn I've seen a longer discussion somewhere: http://books.google.com/books?id=W4_P8LDZOmAC&pg=PT38. I think Jobs has actually said somewhere that the iPod was intended to be the "Walkman of the 21st century".
If we're going to be pedantic about it... surely the far side of the moon recieves slightly more sunlight than the near side, because the near side occasionally has its sunlight blocked by the Earth (in what we could call an eclipse of the Moon and moonmen would call an eclipse of the Sun) whereas the far side never does?
I'm reading "The Object Orientated Thought Process." It uses Java as the example language, but it's not meant to teach Java. Instead, the book illustrates what OO programing entails. As a result, readers get a high level but practical foundation in writing OO code.

As a novice, I recommend this book. But, I would suggest accompanying it with another book that actually focuses on learning a specific language, which is what I did using PHP.
It'd be better without the preamble at the top of each file...
Scientific studies support the Big 5 or Hexaco model of personality. Sticking with MBTI is the same as saying the earth is flat despite evidence to the contrary. MBTI was not created Jung. But my two fans of Jung. There is a huge difference.
I wonder if this is faster than GTA Onlines microtransaction JSON file parser.
Hmm, weird, I use a 50" Samsung 4k TV as my "monitor" (I'm not much of a gamer so a lower refresh rate is fine for coding and watching YouTube), and I never set up my WiFi and I don't think I accepted any Terms of Service, and it doesn't nag me, but granted literally the only video data that's been displayed on the TV has been an HDMI input and the color-correction menu. Maybe different models of Samsung TVs do things differently?
Why is there any bureaucracy to Little League in the first place, though? Like why do we need to be doing any of this?

> To sign kids up for our city’s Little League baseball program, you have to prove that they’re residents, which is reasonable.

I don't really get that. What are we scared of here? People coming over the border to steal Little League coaching for their children? Is that a major concern somewhere?
I found it's frequently because they let perfect be the enemy of good.

Because something has potential caveats, problematic corner cases, or philosophical nits, open source projects will often end up sticking with a worse solution out of pure bullheadedness.
My background check to be an Assistant Scoutmaster was much more rigorous than for any job I’ve ever had. I’m pretty OK with that, too.
They briefly talk about it in this Veritasium Video at around the 9 minute mark https://youtu.be/GhsZUZmJvaM

He says, unlike in the movies, it is not really an issue. With 1% earth’s atmosphere there is very little matter actually hitting you.
I recommend you get ublock origin, it works wonders with these kinds of websites. I tested it here - all the sidebars and content breaks with ads gone, all the popups gone, and I experienced faster loading/response times. Browsing the web has felt like a breeze ever since I've got it, and it even allows you to disable JS and target any obtrusive content/features you find.

This is really interesting. What more am I missing out from the "real" world?. If there wasn't an "authority" telling me that this face is concave I'll call anyone telling otherwise crazy.
He lived a long life with a loving family. He won the game of life as much as any being can hope for. There's nothing to be sad about for him. Only for you who doesn't get the benefit of having him around anymore.

Oh I know this. The team I was pointing this out to didn't design or build this system, they meerly have to support it, like me.

Last time I tried to use it I was burned when it came to removing packages. Sure, I can remove them by hand, but then what good is my package management system? The hairier installation is, the more configuration files it creates and modifies all over the system, the more urgent is the need for reliable management system. And there are packages that can't not write all over the system. SSH is one. Sage's another.
I dont know why but watching early tech always gets me excited. Just interesting to see how everything started.
The US truly has not spent enough effort growing out of its slave economy that has defined so much of its existence.

Huh. Is there a some reason why that's not obviously, bafflingly obtuse?

(Kind of like how Markdown and HN won't allow you to single-space text except in a code block)
The process of backpropagation is figuring out which input has the greatest effect on output and adjusting the weights on the input to fit the output curve. In other words, assuming a trained single layer neural network, the weights alone will tell you which inputs have the greatest effect on output.

Maybe for liberals, but a lot of people on the right don’t care much for government intervention in industries without a compelling reason.
This is part of the damage Theranos has done. Even when a legitimate advance comes along in the same field, people are reluctant to believe it because of the hype that Theranos created.
You described several crashes and a number of bugs, above, which is what I was responding to. Even from your generous assessment of Wayland/Sway, it seems like my X11/i3 system is more robust and stable.
If I played chess often I’m not too sure I’d want to fiddle with a computer. If I were to do that I might as well play StarCraft or Freeciv.
It really depends on the use case for the sessions and expectations. At some point the user's session will, and SHOULD, timeout anyway. Proper sizing and configuration of memcache and resilient interfaces will reduce the chance of random session loss.

Of the four bullet points at the start of the article, three of them apply equally to many or all RDBMS-backed stores.

Resource limitations, upgrades, and infrastructure changes can negatively affect RDBMS-backed services just as well.
I've just started to work with the Kraken API it is good. Their key signing/hashing auth is a little weird but the example clients are very useful.

Is there a way to get real time order book updates from the Kraken?

Another good API is Paymium's https://github.com/Paymium/api-documentation the most frustrating thing I find about exchanges API are race conditions when doing HFT, like submitting an order getting an ID, then asking about the ID to find it doesn't exist yet as the update hasn't be prorated yet.
