Nor would the previous owner's past be reason for someone not to trust the current owner of the brand. You wouldn't stop trusting Bitstamp or BTC-e if they happened to buy the MtGox domain. Nor would someone reading an old NY Times article stop to research the past owner's history.

The grand vision of Coinbase isn't to capture as much of the Bitcoin speculation market as possible, it's to capture as much of the e-commerce payment market as possible by offering lower transaction fees and eliminating chargeback risk for merchants. If, for example, they took over the MtGox domain, and that helped stabilize Bitcoin and continue its push towards the mainstream, then "snitko's and 0.02% of our target market's image of us is tained by Gox's past" is probably a good tradeoff.

My mastermind group spun off from Mixergy.com.

But starting a Mastermind group is easy: find some friends who are in a similar position to you, and propose that you formally meet once a week. If you're local — great! Show up at a coffee shop. If you're remote, get on a Google Hangout.
I bet they can find a market even if they are ugly. Commuters won't care, they'll only be wearing them in the car anyways. There are a lot of people who keep a pair of ugly over-your-normal-glasses sunglasses in the car all the time.
A good way to learn the vim hjkl keys is to play tetris. Most tetris allow remapping the keys. That's how I got used to those keys.
Hello? they have the Winx comics series http://winx.wikia.com/wiki/Winx_Club_Comic_Series
Here the main heroes are girl fairies in high school (greetings from Harry Potter) and they even have a fairy of technology who has to fix things; my daughters (five and eight) like these.

Also in Germany they have Donald Duck series (quite popular); don't know why they don't have that in the US
There is a disease going around. It transmits by droplets that you cannot see. People can be infectious before showing symptoms or without symptoms at all. It affects some people at lot more than others. I don't blame people for being scared.

The winning move actually is not to play the social game for a few months. Currently, the best people are the ones you do not meet at all.
A second hand Big Mac sounds indeed disgusting. Just the thought of it would make it hard to eat the fresh one.
Where's D where we talk it out and why we currently disagree on the expectation difference?

While the devtool ecosystem around Allegro and LispWorks is better, SBCL as a compiler is a fair bit more performant. While it doesn't have quite the quick compilation times of Clozure, it's got everything else. I would go so far as to say it's the de facto CL implementation these days for noncommercial applications.
It would require them to foster a new venture that delivers value and can be spun off as an independent entity. That's sort of what X is about.
The Scheme dialect of Lisp is perhaps my favorite for how small the core is (and hygienic macros are an elegant solution to avoiding accidental captures). The R5RS language report also specifies the formal denotational semantics of the language. But it's also more precise than McCarthy's presentation, the denotational semantics can be easily turned into a real, correct-by-construction interpreter[0].

I can easily believe it, and I can easily believe that AWS employees have heard such stories, but I'd love to have it be more than an anecdote.
Depends on the channel.

We have a dedicated public television channel where I am and the content is significantly better than YouTube: https://pbskids.org/

My kids will tell me about history and science that they pick up from those shows.

I don't think I've ever heard anything from them that I liked when it came to YouTube content.

"As the subjective theory of value (STV) is false"

Here's simple counter-argument.

Gold was chemically always the same all these years. But it was valued differently in different places on earth and in different times. When you are in a post-war destruction, your gold may be worth less than a loaf of bread. Or not, depending on how you see your future.

Apart from moving units, Bitcoin is good for things like secure timestamping and mutual fund locking without counter-party risk. No other technology or commodity can do that.

Connecting with random people. Some people just seem to want to connect with as many people as possible. What’s the point? The connections you have with people you know just get lost in the noise. My policy is to only connect with people I already know.

This takes away the power that LinkedIn provides and defeats its entire purpose. LinkedIn isn't a network to meet your next potential friend - it's to engage with others in your industry and openly share your network in a semi-private manner. When I'm looking for a job, it's beneficial if the hiring person is just a 2nd connection away because then you can send them a PM. Send a short, friendly message and you're increasing your chance to be noticed.

If they don't respond, or accept your connection request, whatever - nothing personal.
From the article:

> And where many houses in the U.S. are made of wood, China suffers from a relative lack of lumber. Unlike in the U.S., many people in China live in high- or low-rise buildings made out of cement.

A critical argument, but unfortunately mentioned towards the end of the article. But overall its a interesting article and this gif [0] comparing Shanghai '87 vs '13, from it gives a good perspective of the modernization (akin to images of Dubai).

Okay, let's say instead of calling those classes "columns", we instead call them "item". (I do this with my own "semantic grids" -- instead of "row" and "column", I use the terms "group" and "item", because on narrow screens the columns aren't actually columns). It seems to me that I could use a div to group content together in this way and it then is used to describe the structure of the content (which things are grouped together).

Everything is so loosey-goosey with HTML. HTML5 sectioning elements are a huge clusterfuck, no browsers utilize the document outline and screen readers primarily rely on ARIA roles. Google uses black magic to figure out what documents mean... so the "html can only contain information that defines the content" ship has sailed. You need to have divs in your html to achieve certain layouts. As long as those divs need to be there to serve that purpose, why not use class names that are related to the purpose you're using them for?

This is very different from table-based layouts. The <table> element does have a defined meaning! But div's do not... so using divs and styling them with CSS achieves proper separation of concerns. The label you use to describe them only has meaning to you (the designer/developer).
I think this...ANY...effort to bring modern IT services to inmates/convicts is terribly overdue and applaud this effort with all my heart. Convicts (their preferred label, not mine) are treated worse than animals in many cases.

I spent 22.5 months in the Florida DOC system, and did hard time with the nastiest of them. I built out a simple single-user DB (using Access, what else?) system for the law library at Gulf CI in the panhandle that allowed lightning-fast referencing of case law and cites.

This was 11 years ago, and IT and web interest was big, but nowhere near where it is now, so I was amazed at the interest so many fellow convicts had in my work, and I tried my best to teach every single one of them what I knew and to maintain and extend my work.

It truly felt like God's work at the time.

A lot of "lifers" (people with life sentences, with no apparent chance of release) hung out in the law library, working on their cases for years, and these peoples were so grateful for the work I did...the common refrain was "no one will ever work as hard as you can when it comes to your freedom", and almost all this law library crowd knew way more about the legal system than the highest paid lawyers I've known and used.

They were hackers in the truest sense of the word.

Sometimes, it was hard to reconcile the charges I saw with the people I lived and worked with, I'll be honest, but as I used to say, one or two (really) bad hours/days do not always make a person "bad".

The very concept of files is alien. You have datasets that look like card stacks or tapes. You don’t expect files and directories on machines that predate disks.
Without the source code, you should provide evidence that it's not backdoored. Given how large Apple is, how big its userbase, I am sure all agencies do everything possible to get the precious data.
As I understand, they are referring to the belief that wind was the mechanism by which the "dead" leaves fall off of the branches, not that wind in and off itself would blow leaves off of trees. According to the article, it appears that the trees actively dispose of the old leaves, rather than passive removal via wind.
I interpreted your 'fear' to mean a kind of desperation. My point about lost opportunities was that your average startup founder is not at a loss for options, so desperation is not the driving force of his day to day work. I'm a very competitive guy as well, but I wouldn't put that down to anything like fear. In competition I'm motivated predominantly by the positive side of winning rather than the negative side of losing. That's the case even if I go all in.

It's always interesting to hear of someone else's experience with these matters because it's all too easy to forget how different we all are. Thanks for weighing in.
I agree 100% that this is how paywall news/magazine content should be distributed online. But you say "publishers would need to get used to running with lower profit margins than they'd like." This isn't really accurate - revenue per user is irrelevant, they need to push volume. They have a fixed price to produce content and digital distribution is basically the same price whether they distribute 1 magazine or 10,000.
I would highly recommend NameCheap unless you're holding hundreds, then Fabulous is the best.
A big part of it is that the page loads FFFFFAST. They never went for clutter. They engineered the pages, so you can do what you want to do quickly. Do not underestimate the importance Google places on page-load times.
Money is fiction. The value of money is derived from trust in the central authority that creates it. Therefore I think an entity like Bitcoin (though not necessarily Bitcoin itself) could conceivably come to replace federal currency because its source is not human beings, but an unflappable algorithm.
And the consequences of failing to evolve.

Netscape made a mess of its browser, and GeoCities could have conceivably become a social / blogging / personal site platform that we'd be hailing as the next big thing.

Those numbers are distorted by the fact that the cheapest (and most popular) beers generally aren't the well-known brands they counted in their study. In the Czech Republic I've seen beers go lower than 0.30USD for a 500ml bottle, and if you were to spend a full dollar on a bottle you'd be getting a fairly posh local beer.

Also, no-one buys 330ml of beer except Americans.

See also the recent discussion on same-age vs mixed-age classrooms. By mixing age groups, the kid who is advanced in history can hang with a grade or two above her own. But she might be a grade below in writing, and that should be 100% ok.

I was a poor kid that attended a gifted program in first grade, the majority of the parents were upper middle class doctors and lawyers. It was lord of the flies classist bs. I clearly wasn't supposed to have been let in and went back to normie classes. It wasn't again until 6th grade that I was back into a one class a day advanced program.

I don't think there should be separate classes for advanced or gifted students. Many of the aspects of gifted programs are just better funded less shitty versions of regular classes. Just like the startup within a corp trope, the gifted programs are often just cover for a private school within a public school.

Just yesterday I played a DooM game [0] with four friends who were born in 1990, 91, 92, and 93. Another friend who was born in 94 wanted to join the game, but we'd set it to 5 max.

I was born in 1980 and had played DooM when it first came out. These guys got me back into it. This seems like a bit of a pattern with high school and college aged kids nowadays -- being interested in some of the 80s subculture stuff.

Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac, so my ability to support Mac users is limited at the moment. Scotch should build from source just fine if you install GHC and use Haskell's Cabal tool to download a few extra packages - haskeline and executable-path are the two I can think of at the moment that are needed.

The command to build is ghc --make scotch. Just run the executable that's produced. Let me know if you run into any problems and I'll see if I can help.

As far as Github, never used it, as I've always been a SVN guy - I'll have to look into it after the holidays are over. Thanks for the suggestion.
Lanier is well-known for being a bad writer (and convoluted thinker) who somehow still manages to get published.
My laptop runs openvpn as a daemon using key authentication connected to my home network. Thisis mainly so I can access my home network remotely, but it works the other way also, letting me in to my laptop when its not in front of me. Openvpn as a daemon can also be configured to reconnect when it detects that network configuration has changed, so it is completely, transparently portable between whatever network my laptop is on, as long as that network has internet access.

If I loose the laptop, I can just revoke the key it uses to connect.
I don't know about the state of NY, but the entire federal court system only takes up about 2.5% of the federal budget - when you think about it, it's the least expensive branch of government by far. The flip side, though, is that there are far more cases to be heard at any given time than there are courts and personnel to hear them, and complex technical rules which have to be complied with. It seems very inefficient and arbitrary, but generally all of those rules were created in response to so some failing in the previous version. Every so often the 'legacy code' becomes unmanageable and a relevant part of the law is redrafted or similarly overhauled.

For example, California switched over to a completely new set of jury instructions known as CALCRIM for criminal trials a few years ago, designed to eliminate a lot of unnecessary confusion and legalistic cruft which had accrued to the previous version, known as CALJIC. But even drafting those from scratch takes years. My reference copy of CALCRIM is about 2500 pages over 3 volumes. And that's just criminal - there's a lot more for civil trials. A LOT more.

Think of it like encountering Unix as a complete newbie. You know what computers are for and what they can do, but but actually learning unix at the command line is pretty complicated, no?

It makes me wonder if Moorcock has ever actually read Tolkien. As I've gotten older, some of the shine of Lord of the Rings has worn off, no doubt precipitated by the movies which relegated Tolkien's rich world and epic themes to consumerist junk pocked with spring-action Legolas toys and Hollywood-inspired video games. So, yes, Tolkien's world was sometimes very two-dimensional and naive. His characters and dialogue were sometimes laughably simplistic, but I prefer to think of LOTR as a vehicle for exploring larger themes of power and evil.

LOTR was written against the backdrop of Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and a world where good and evil didn't seem very ambiguous, yet think about how many times this ambiguity comes up: Gollum. Good or evil? Saruman? Boromir? There is nothing childish or "Pooh-like" about these characters. They are very real, very intense confrontations with good and evil. Even Bilbo and Frodo themselves struggle with this. We assume the ring has the power to corrupt, but is the ring truly doing the corrupting, or is this lust for power something innate within that the ring simply exploits for its own purposes?

And what defines true power? Is it the ring itself? Is it the one who carries it? Frodo and Sam, two of the smallest of the races of Middle-Earth manage to bring down the most powerful of enemies with little more than courage and a desire to do what's right, while the powerful (the humans of Rohan and Gondor) quibble amongst themselves and their leaders are easily manipulated or go mad with sorrow and fear.

Long story short, I think Moorcock is wrong. I find the idea of a drug-addicted elf more ridiculous than anything Tolkien ever wrote. It's as though Moorcock defines fantasy as merely a setting through which he can play out his literary amibitions. That isn't to say there's anything wrong with a drug-addicted elf, it's just that drug addiction -- a so-called "real" problem to Tolkien's alleged "Pooh" problems -- does not alone elevate one's work to higher stature, nor should it be used a bludgeon to demote the work of others. I have learned far more about life and human nature from Tolkien than I have from Moorcock, and Tolkien's work was more entertaining too.

EDIT: Oh, and if you want to read some incredibly clever and unique sci-fi/fantasy, check out anything by Gene Wolfe or Jack Vance. Wolfe's Book of the New Sun is brilliant, and Vance's Lyonesse trilogy is amazing.
??? This is literally how most multi-state businesses operate: 1 company, registered as a "foreign business" in other states, with a single multistate payroll provider like ADP handling the payroll function. (Yes, the company will be subject to tax and legal service in any state in which it has an employee, which is why generally when I was still at a firm I generally advised clients against remote employee arrangements.)

Note that a "foreign business" is a technical term in this context, simply meaning that a business operating in one state that is incorporated in another state. (See for example https://www.californiaregisteredagents.net/incorporation/for...) For example, almost every YC company is incorporated in Delaware, but is registered as a "foreign business" in CA where they are physically headquartered.

At the international level you usually form subsidiaries, due to the vast differences between laws at the national level, but some companies will simply register a "branch office" in other countries in which they have small operations. In fact, many countries, like the U.S., have tax forms specifically for these companies: the Form 1120F...

I'm not a scholar, but I'd guess that the Saudi government consult scholars and their government is probably more knowledgeable than either of us on this topic. You discredit their rules by claiming that they were installed by the west (which does not matter, either they follow sharia or they don't) and then appeal to scholars. Sounds to me like you want your idea of sharia and anyone who disagrees "needs to consult a scholar".

I've always disliked this appeal to scholars in Islam because Islam likes to set itself apart claiming there is no pope or interpretive authority on the law of God and then any time a person has a disagreement they appeal to an authoritative priesthood class to stifle discussion on issues that matter. For a religion that bills itself as easy to understand by the common follower of the religion, deference to human beings as authorities are quite common.
on a serious note, koyfin is really very nice and does a better job than Bloomberg, at least for equities
The problem with that is that there is no direct correlation between tax receipts and budget outlays. Money being spent in 2021 is not being "paid for" by taxes received in 2021, or for that matter in 2022, 2023, or any other particular year. That's the theoretical problem; the practical problems you encounter as a result include how you deal with programs that are technically 'paid for' by specific taxes (do you try to present those separately or exclude them?), how you account for budget deficits (do you present a breakdown that adds up to >100% of the tax bill?), and how you deal with tax expenditures.

Most small businesses fail. Nobody put a gun to their head and told them to take the money and the W2 salaries; each company was in a position to assess their own situations and make their own choice about whether to be acquired or try to stay independent and succeed or fail on their own. Other companies have said “no” to Apple in the past, Dropbox most famously.
