I don't really know how wholesale works, not sure how to learn more about it.

What I called the newsletter is really just a description of the items that we send to subscribers when stuff is shipped to them.

Good idea about the explanation page for gift subscriptions.
RobinHood doesn't allow transferring coins in or out. It only allows buying and selling.

I don't even know if there are any actual underlying coins at all anywhere in the system. For smaller coins in particular, does this mean that in theory there could be more coins traded than existing supply?

Without transferring in or out, RobinHood encourages pure speculation and doesn't allow the investors to even try and pay for something in crypto even for the fun of it.

Crypto would have never reached to where it is today if all the exchanges where like RobinHood. A big part of why crypto succeeded early on was The Silk Road (check the billions in traded and seized assets) and all of its descendants (dark.fail).

Sadly, WA and NY started cracking down on having real crypto and many exchanges (looking at you, Kraken and LocalBitcoins) are turning into the RH model.
I do most file operations in a terminal because I can switch between my editor and the terminal without picking up the mouse. I do use a file manager to organize media files.
Full disclosures:

1) I have an App - https://nocommandline.com - that is the opposite of this i.e. it says you should use a GUI instead of CLI (for a specific set of scenarios).

2) I'm not a 9-5 programmer even though I have a computing background

At a very high level - I generally disagree with 'you don't need a GUI' or 'CLI is better than a GUI'

At a nuanced level, I would say - it all depends. Sometimes CLI is much better than a GUI, other times it is the opposite. It all depends on what you are doing and who is doing what.

Software is all about automation and making life easier for you and/or others. If instead of having to remember a bunch of commands that I have to type, I can just click and get the same result, then click for me is better. It has made my life easier/simpler which is the essence of automation. GUI also becomes more useful for commands that you don't get to execute regularly. And GUI makes it easier for others to uptake the technology/learn it. Think about it - programmers tend to use IDEs to write their code and not notepad because IDE colors the text and so they know which are variables, restricted values, etc.

There is the argument that you can't automate GUIs. That is true in some contexts but in others, GUIs are usually built on top of the raw CLI commands so you have both worlds.

In other situations (and generally speaking), CLI is much more powerful because you have complete control of the 'innards' of the program. For such, I would say - yea, CLI all the way.
> A bias towards "beauty" or simplicity of some form is inevitable and part of good science.

> For every theory, you can generate a more complicated theory with more moving parts that generates the exact same predictions.

I agree with the second point, but disagree with the first.

Yes, by Occam's razor, a simpler theory with fewer moving parts should be preferred over a complex theory, if both produce correct answers. But the most accurate theory might not be "beautiful".

What matters most is if the theory correctly predicts reality. If it has a weird arbitrary format, but correctly predicts everything, it's better than a theory that's beautiful but incorrect.

Most of science has been using "beauty" as a way to help guide it to the correct answers. For example, there's been a lot of work on string theory because it has a kind of mathematical beauty. But it may turn out that a search for "beauty" in this sense was misguided. Beauty is not the goal, truth is.
I highly recommend going through YC's startup school. After having gone through YC once and in the middle of my second attempt at startups, I'm still learning every single day. It's extremely difficult, and I feel I need to absorb everything to even have a chance. Doing anything else besides their playbook and mantra is going blind.

You may not like Excel but most people who "NEED A QUICK ANALYSIS FOR YOUR BUSINESS" (to quote your copy from https://www.jigdev.com) rely on it.

I think you have a solution in search of problem.

Showing it to more people is not the answer. Adding features only helps when you have someone who has a clear point of dissatisfaction with Excel.

Who is so dissatisfied with Excel that they will take the time to install and learn a new tool.

Excel has a lot of debugging checks built in to catch mistakes and if they make a mistake in an Excel sheet they can ask many people to double check their work.

If they are the only Jig user in the firm they are completely on their own.
I admit I may have phrased that poorly. My intended point was that I object to them lying about their service. I'm perfectly happy for the end result to be that they admit the real level of service they can provide and don't actually alter their offerings at all.
For sure. Even Mr Money Mustache lives on around 24K per year.

One of the problems with a focus on living cheap is that the rest of the world is still expensive. You can find ways to live super cheap, but medical is still outrageous. Traveling to an expensive city will still take a large chunk out of a small income.

Your focus should be on increasing options. That's probably making more money. You can make a decision to go cheap on the fly, but substantially increasing your savings takes time. As you get older, this may become even more difficult.

I would say it's more like the commoditization of the potential to extract profit from human beings. It is hard to blame the big Co though; most people happily give up information voluntarily for the services the websites provide. I am routinely chided for shunning social networks.

Being vegan makes it a bit of a challenge to get enough of the right sort of vitamins but it certainly is possible. And if you're willing to consume dairy it's actually pretty easy. You can't quite survive on milk and potatoes alone but it's close.
There's plenty of meanness in the GP as well, it's just a lot more subtle, so it's neither fair nor accurate to pin-point that comment as the starting point of a cycle.

"[F]inance/accounting/banking" is not one coherent blob of thieves or parasites or whatever labels otherwise apparently reasonable people get away with attaching to anything in the field. Of course it's not a divinely perfect field either (not that anyone is claiming that), of course it has big and important problems. But especially if you work in or near finance, it gets really annoying just how accepted and endorsed rampant prejudice is in the rest of society.
Anyone interested building a social network should read: https://www.eugenewei.com/blog/2019/2/19/status-as-a-service

tl;dr - There is a specific reason that we like to use social networks, and it's the receiving of status or accumulate capital. From this theory, a network like Slow Social cannot succeed because there isn't enough social capital that can be consumed.

Hi! Emily here. Added some more context in a footnote to the original blog post about the worst types of harassment I experienced.
The negative value in the cache size pragma seems a mistake, but it isn’t. Negative values are used to specify a cache size that is a multiple of the page size (more or less) and the sign is discarded.

Not a great choice of API IMHO, but it’s a database, I’ve seen much worse.

Say hello to the result of inflation. Where saving is discouraged and what you earn is continually worth less.

The best way to demonstrate inflation is to index historical prices to another asset like gold.

It's the modern equivalent to the 70s/80s de-industrialization under Thatcher: maybe it had to be done, but the tories are needlessly bent on doing it in the harshest possible way - for reasons exclusively related to internal power struggles in their party.

A generation will suffer for it, and the next one will again swear they'll never vote Conservative... until they make a bit of money, and then it's back to blue.
> The professional neg: Recruiters ask senior level employees if they’re interested in entry level roles or, better yet, internships.

Wait, this is a thing? Knowing this makes me feel a lot better. This always leaves me scratching my head when it happens. Kind of messed up that they do this.
I don't think certain beliefs should be disallowed. I've never heard of a person being arrested just for having a delusion, it may be possible.

>gay Jesus is offensive to religion

No, its intentionally trying to be offensive to the person you are talking to. Any example of a theological difference works for your argument, yet you kept returning to ones I said we're offensive.

The definition you provided was in the DSM-4, the one in 5 is different. I have no opinion on diagnosing delusions.
This is great, but to this day I just don't like to have electronic helpers at the table when playing fantasy RPG's. For online, though, this would be awesome.

I wonder if I would feel differently about this when playing a sci-fi RPG... hmm...

> CR and LF are used for each new line.

The author's insistence on calling CR+LF "new line" only serves to confuse.

LF is line feed, thus new line. The CR is to readjust the write head back to the starting position.
I second this. If battery life and fitness features are of the upmost importance, check out a Garmin, Polar, Suunto, or something similar. They can last for many days on a single charge using GPS regularly and the only charging I do is when I'm showering, meaning I can track my sleep. I've had a Garmin 735XT for three years and it's not showing signs of age. It's less of a smartwatch and more of a fitness tracker, since the extent of "smart" features these watches often possess is limited to receiving notifications and possibly playing music, but I don't use these features anyway. I used an Apple Watch in the past, but much prefer a simpler fitness tracker. The only thing I miss is the ability to listen to podcasts using only a watch and Bluetooth earbuds.
I'm not sure how you would quantify the impact of something like that scientifically considering how flawed the major climate models have proven to be.

What is impossible to deny is that we're heading into a grand solar minimum, and that the earth cools substantially every time this happens.

Personally, I believe it is time to take a very hard look at how grant money is distributed, and get politicians, governments, and special interests out of the process.

Depoliticizing grant money distribution and open sourcing the research process itself before publication are the two most powerful things we can do to speed along scientific progress.
It's not asked on the train, it's asked when you buy the ticket at the window. If you use your CC, they then have id info presumably.
Those complaints mostly seem to be about the developer experience on Mac, which, yeah might suck. I use VS + vim, build on Windows, then copy over to Linux for deployment.

The biggest issue is with complicated frameworks, like ASP.NET, since there could be all sorts of runtime things missing. Fortunately with MS's new open source kick, this should be a thing of the past relatively soon,
>"What's the connection between public backlash against a tennis poster and the author's claim that not enough money goes towards prostate cancer research"

For one, how the public can be so outraged about something so small, petty[1] and inconsequential. And yet completely ignore real issues, disparities in funding in this case, that affect thousands of individuals of a specific gender.

I don't necessarily think it has a "direct" connection, but is there more to draw attention to the hypocrisy of the "equality" movement that is seemingly ignoring an issue affecting a specific gender.

[1] Might not be petty to some, and it might represent bigger issues to them. In this case, it's outrage over a poster, taken decades ago, that became part of pop-culture and was on display at some cultural event.
How might this relate to rump kernels and unikernels?
> maybe Whatsapp isn't "worth" $19B (whatever that means)

It means it'll give an appropriate ROI for 19B

> but it's a threat to destroy $50B of Facebook shareholder value

If you think the destroyed 50B is greater than the expected value of the next best option for those 19B, then I suppose it's justified.

But then again, that does mean that it's relatively easy to poke at Facebook's empire. I think it implies there's not a very efficient market. It means these things can keep happening over and over, draining Facebook's bank account, until it's no longer worth it for them to keep buying. (This may be what the other poster was alluding to by saying that the 50B isn't actually worth much.)
> don't pretend that it has anything to do with the dead

It is for the dead. No one is visiting graves of someone who died 200 years ago, yet everyone is up in arms if you mention moving an old cemetery. If you own farmland with a family cemetery (again, 2-300 years old), you have to farm around it, you can not move it.

It is for the dead.
For a frame? How do you make a floor with cinderblock/brick/etc? Even if it's a single story, how do you make a roof? You need some sort of material other than masonry material.
Why do people post such bs? Ever tried writing anything larger in assembly? C was a huge step and they got most of it right.
When saying designer, I mean a really strong product design, but also someone that can make things look nice. Someone that's highly skilled, not just someone who can navigate photoshop.
because "technical" encloses both "programming" and "design" (which by the way I don't think is as strategic as "Interaction Design") in the same way that "business" encloses "organization", "marketing" and "sales" (and possibly much more)

On another note,I really think the title of this article should be modified to indicate that this was a prank mail. Never know if some power twitter user has already opened a protest page on Facebook, tweeted this, and is attracting some hundreds of fans!!
The point is that you would never tpye "./ls" when you meant to type "ls".

Or at least I wouldn't. I just grepped through (several years of) my bash logs and I have never once in my life typed "./ls", accidentally or otherwise. I consider this strong evidence.
Technical encloses design? I always thought it was just the programming. By design, I mean product and user interface design.

Here is an example of where exactly what you are asking has been done to good effect.

By inserting a line of code in your normal website, we detect which device you are on and redirect you to a HTML5 + Jqtouch version of the site which acts and looks a lot like a native app (especially on the iphone)

See http://www.pocketdiner.co.uk

We've had no problems so far so the answer to your question is yes - HTML5 is mature enough for mobile devices from our experience.

No matter your political inclinations, you cannot unironically praise Indira Gandhi and denounce the current administration in the same breath. Even if they are ideologically different, they both have similar authoritarian tendencies and a common pathway to power - populism.
It was known that it would happen because the EU domain has explicit rules about nationality and geographic location of domain owners (like some country level domains also have).

Basically one has to be an EU citizen or to be located in the EU. British citizens and British companies in the UK are neither.
In my experience, I find Google business hours to be more accurate than Yelp. Not sure why, but I think restaurants find Google easier or more important to update when they adjust their hours slightly.

Right, but you don't have to change a title to editorialize. Your comment appears to take issue with the editorialization — not the title change specifically — which might help to explain some of the responses you're getting.

(Putting legality aside) this is fine, if you assume a site like The Pirate Bay is nothing more than a collection of links. But it's not.

The metadata is important. When you download a file, you want to see how popular it is. Popular files tend to be higher-quality, safer, and always download faster.

The community is central to the experience. The comments matter. They talk about a file being fake, or virus-infected, or poor quality. They give instructions for using the download properly. This is valuable information.

Moderation is critical. Who removes links to broken, fake, infected, or poor-quality files?

Download sites are more than collections of links. The Pirate Bay wasn't successful due to its volume of .torrent files. Anyone can host a bunch of little files up for download. Its infrastructure and community were key components of its success. The links alone aren't interesting at all.
Something worth noting whenever Finland and education come up: Finnish-Americans in America do better than Finns in Finland.

Almost none of the districts were 100% Biden, with a few exceptions - districts which are historically democratic leaning, AND in which journalists literally could not find one single person claiming to have voted for Trump when they investigated these numbers.

And I have not heard of any example of mail-in batches going 100% to Biden.

There's statistics over the split in mail-in votes. There's like 2x more democratic mail-in votes than republican mail-in votes.
It’s not even negativity just incredulity. TSLA has a larger market cap than all other car companies combined. I’m tickled to see a new entrant in automotive succeed, but the frothiness around it is based less on fundamentals or realistic growth prospects and more on something approaching religious fervour. The sentiment about turning over the old guard has a very strong “new economy” 1999 feeling to it.

All the above applies to Bitcoin as well, which has largely failed at all the practical uses that were proposed to justify its early rise.
another round of stimulus checks is going to set bitcoin off on another bull run imo. you could see a drastic effect as soon as the $600 started hitting people's checking accounts
Can someone explain why they would buy a Mac and install linux?

I used to dual boot windows for school and when I first switched to windows I had an old laptop's backup in bootcamp. Cross-platform software is much more ubiquitous than 5-10 years ago. For linux I always used another box or just run a VM. Nowadays my laptop can ssh or Remote Desktop into a more powerful machine. I have a custom built widows box, a custom built NAS running FreeNas (FreeBSD), 2 RPi's running Raspbian, and a not always linux box based on old hardware. There is a machine big or small to do things or play with. My VPN allows me to connect from anywhere.

What are you guys doing that you have to install linux instead of running a VM or remotely connecting to a linux box? If it's just for the sake of knowledge I can understand it.

Apple's touch pad experience in MacOS is the best in the market and it is always very different in Windows and Linux. The XPS, Lenovo and smaller vendors really make killer Linux/Windows laptops that have much more options than Macs.
Or just use Gentoo (or presumably Nix), or another distro with support for custom build flags for packages, right?
How low do you think it should go before the people revolt? I personally thought this would happen a lot sooner considering both the left and the right seems to despise congress

> 'Hacker' has been used in popular culture to include malicious computer activity since the 1980s

I don't think his point is that the term shouldn't be used in a negative way, but that the negative way is more along the lines of someone who breaks in to computers, not just floods them with a bunch of packets. Is someone who pours water on a computer and fries the circuits a hacker now too? Petty vandalism just doesn't seem the same as actually gaining unauthorized access, which is how I've always understood to be the popular definition of the word.
NYC has plenty of incumbent interests and populist temptations.

It has one major thing over SF that makes it work: It gains much more tax revenue per square mile than SF due to its superior density, which is derived from history and its superior zoning rules.

I don't know if it's satire, but I can't take this article seriously. The command line, for me, isn't about doing things the hard way. Nor is is necessarily the easy way either. It's an alternate interface which has some strengths.

What is compelling about the command line is how it can be it's own ecosystem and it's possible to use most of the features of a computer within this constrained environment.
