Perhaps this could be a two way process. Both the employer and employee give $100 to an escrow company, created explicitly for this purpose. If they waste your time (fake postings, no-one hired, etc) you get the $200 back. If you waste their time (you're bad at what you do), they get the $200.

That said, it might be hard to figure out when hiring company has failed the applicant.

Misinforming the public makes cool headlines, which bring in eyeballs, which bring in ad-dollars. I think it's as simple as that.

Building out general healthcare infrastructure could have a lot of problems. For example, the government might reduce its own funding of the infrastructure by an equal amount, effectively making the foundation a giant taxpayer.

I am pleased with the progress the Gates foundation is making. If they actually eradicate polio, that will be a real step forward for all of humanity. Also, it seems like there's a lot of merit in focusing resources when dealing with contagious diseases.

Hear here. ex-NYC too -- SF is a lot like the New York of around 25+ years ago.

It's a bit unfortunate, but getting a substantially cleaner, safer SF would require a cultural shift away from egalitarian principles that are deeply ingrained in the city's DNA.

Note that while downtown Manhattan is approaching a dystopian Disneyland of tourist-friendly homogeneity, there are still parts of the city that are scary no-man's-land, you just don't see them if you visit or live & work in gentrified neighborhoods.

Back in the day, NYC was nice or nasty block by block, just like SF is today.
Freedom means having control over your own life. If you use a program to carry out activities in your life, your freedom depends on your having control over the program. Nonfree software encourages users to surrender control over their computing to someone else and this is the exact same situation in SAAS. SAAS is not controlled by the user but some other person. This is unethical because this causes an unjust form of power over the user. Users who partake in SAAS or proprietary software do not get all four freedoms of free software that all users need to have freedom. Now if you feel that you don't need all four freedoms of free software, then so be it but beware, your computing will not belong to your hands but it will belong to the hands of other people (who don't necessarily have your best interest in mind).

In a restaurant, there is no unjust power over the customer. In a restaurant, a customer can order some dishes and order the dishes to be prepared a particular way. When the customer gets the meal, the customer is free to do things such as add more things to the food, take the food away for later eating or share the food with friends or even resell the food to anybody. In the case of SAAS, similar freedoms are not available to the user. Users are forbidden to study and modify how the service operates, and users are forbidden to share the computing service with other people. Control over the service belongs to the SAAS company and not the user.

RDP has included the ability to forward individual windows. RDP also includes a lot of capabilities that (as far as I can tell) X11 doesn't like bidirectional audio redirection, redirection of local hard drivers, printers, etc.

Frankly, the user experience for remote desktop and remote application access with more recent versions of RDP (in Win2008, etc) is vastly superior to what's currently available for remote desktop and/or application access in Linux.

Now admittedly, I don't know of an RDP server for Wayland that implements those features (or any RDP server for Wayland really). But given that Wayland is still fairly young that's not surprising. There's certainly no compelling reason why a good RDP server can't be written for Wayland.

NearlyFreeSpeech is a host that takes an
interesting tact. You're not promised a massive
(and oversold) plan that you may never fully
utilize; instead, you're billed incrementally based
on usage. If you're hosting a simple personal
landing page site to showcase your resume and some place you can be found online, you may
never pay more than a buck or two a month for
the tiny amount of resources you use.
NearlyFreeSpeech isn't the easiest personal web
host to get started with—they say as much in their FAQ file, where not a single "one-click" web setup application is to be found—but the prices are rock bottom and you'll be out less than a cup
of coffee a month for a simple personal web site.
That could explain researchers publishing such things (but I'd give more credit to this being just a result of publish-or-perish culture), but it doesn't explain why journalists write all that crap about those studies. Also note that often, the finding itself is reasonable but of little direct impact - "study found that X correlates with Y (r=0.67) under conditions Z, p<0.05" - and it's journalists who turn it into a bunch of sensationalist lies.

> You can think of ISO 8601 as basically this - a way to describe absolute points in global time without references to politically motivated definitions of local time zones.

But that's TAI. Any calendar is a consensus agreement and amenable to politics (see Samoa skipping a day in 2011 [0], and all the bizarre calendar changes of the 18th century).

ISO 8601 sounds simple and reliable, but only because it refused to adopt most of the human complexity of timezones. Kinda like "extended ASCII", that allowed programmers to pretend just a little longer that all characters can fit in 8-bits. And we don't have a Unicode for dates.

If Tokyo changes their DST rules or leap seconds happen, your simple and reliable offline countdown timer will be wrong. How is that acceptable for a calendar-based (i.e. human) format?

Or if I'm naming my files with ISO 8601 dates and relying on lexicographic sorting (as others in this thread suggested), I'll have gaps or overlaps after DST changes.

Am I crazy? I'm getting lots of disagreement, so I must be doing something wrong, but the more I think about it, the more I believe that ISO 8601 succeeded by stealthily sacrificing correctness.

Yeah, I'm also pretty confident it's an average of +50 cents per flip.

E.g. if you get 50 heads and 50 tails in 100 flips, that's +$50, which maps to 50 cents per flip.
One better-than-nothing way is to look at historical data:

Looking at the closing price for each trading day, count how many times the stock ended higher and how many times it ended lower than the previous day.

Then you have your odds.
Kelly staking criteria tells you how much to bet in such situations. in this case: nothing since it's a pointless bet, economically speaking. you may derive utility from the lols, though, in which case probably don't bet the whole bank in one go!
> Also, Expected Value works under the “law of large numbers” assumptions.

Technically, EV has nothing to do with sample size. But I get your point that in sufficiently small sample sizes and/or sufficiently large bet sizes you might need to think about utility rather than expectation.

Let me know if you disagree - but I think the comparison to unscrupulous VCs is limited to the title of the post(which, IMHO, is mis-titled). In reality, the post is about something else. I quote:
" I never say “no.” But I carefully qualify “yes.”"

A comparison would really be a VC saying - I will invest in your company if you give me 80% equity. Or Yes, I will invest if you hit 30% growth in profit for the next one month. That, to me, may be unfair in some cases, but doesn't sound unscrupulous.

> A review of the Top 10 most populous U.S. cities indicates only half of them have obtained .gov domains, including Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix, San Antonio, and San Diego.

> Yes, you read that right: houston.gov, losangeles.gov, newyorkcity.gov, and philadelphia.gov are all still available. As is the .gov for San Jose, Calif., the economic, cultural and political center of Silicon Valley.

A minor nit: Many of these cities do have a .gov domain. For example, NYC has nyc.gov. So, I would suspect (or I’d hope) the GSA wouldn’t issue newyorkcity.gov to a random fraudster as easily.

Houston has houstontx.gov.

Philadelphia has phila.gov.

San Jose has sanjoseca.gov.

LA has .. lacity.org? That’s a bit unexpected.

Some cities may also use a subdomain of their states domain, which may or may not be a .gov.

As someone that lives in Lyon I really hope we do something similar in the centre (around Bellecour). There are way too many cars in a small area it is just ridiculous.

I agree with Protege that this is an apple to orange comparison. The exact hedge fund is not specified, it could probably invest in anything other than most US large caps represented in S&P500. Heck, it could probably consists of Chinese index funds, which would definitely outperform the S&P if the US spirals into an economic crisis within the 10 years or so.
Excellent. Let me pay you.

In your system, I'm just an anonymous flow of movements. In the shops billing system, I'm just a CC number and a set of purchases. For the billing provider, I'm just a name and address tied to a CC number. And then with a couple of small leaps, suddenly my whole life is compiled on a single page detailing every breath I take.
If that isn't a rhetorical question... capitalism.

Massachusetts tackled this with a ballot initiative and legislation, so they can't do that here.

Supposedly there's a "memorandum of understanding" that would prohibit it in all 50 states (but no federal legislation signed yet) I'm guessing this is a violation of the MOU.

Interesting. I see that our company is listed in there. That's not voluntary on our part, which may result in a lot of unsuccessful leads.
re: geography. Yes, I meant considering the parallel situation in the UK with Amazon.co.uk.

re: making accounts, it takes time; if pricing is comparable then using your established account is usually quicker. Yes that's "laziness" if you like; I prefer to consider it consideration of the value of time.

Your examples:

1.

Canakit sell the item for $57.60 + $12.95 shipping on their website: http://www.canakit.com/xbee-pro-50mw-series-2-5-wire-antenna.... On Amazon it's $57.95 + $15 shipping ... which is $2.40 more.

However SparkFun, which aren't even in the list - despite it saying "by sparkfun" in the product header [what's with that?] do sell that item at a lower price from their own website. Digi, the manufacturers, don't appear to sell it at all.

2.

Cotton finger guards are a pack of 4 .. but still vastly over-priced. Amazon.com has http://www.amazon.com/Protective-Static-Fabric-Fingertips-Gl... at 100 for $5 (5¢ each) but it's an add-on item.

With your jewelrydisplaysandboxes.com I tried ordering 4 from their website and the subtotal with shipping (to mainland USA) + taxes comes to $10.77. That's more than the vastly inflated Amazon price!

//

I never said you couldn't find things cheaper elsewhere, just that IME the _sellers_ external price was pretty close to the Amazon price for things I'd looked at buying. We're one-all on your examples. I suspect niche products probably have more Amazon markup?

Looking at top sellers in Home & Kitchen (http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/home-garden) for example NutriBullet sells at $69.99 whilst it's 6 x $19.99 + $39.50 on their own website ... that's probably a special case. The top 2 items in that dept. weren't available via the sellers own site.

The TMK firmware works on the Atreus keyboards too; I used it for a while before writing my own firmware. I plan on putting up some better docs soon on how to use it with the Atreus if you want some of these more advanced features.

From a learning perspective it's also nice to have a dramatically simpler firmware too. The initial version of the C atreus-firmware codebase was just over 100 lines.

Less than 50, unfortunately charging anything more in this country (South Africa) as a freelancer is tough unless it's a PHP/CMS system project. But that's sublocation dependent. I'd probably be able to charge more in Cape Town than I could here in Johannesburg, as CT is more tech-oriented.

Actually according to Tim Wendelboe (a former world barista champion) you should rest fresh roasted beans for a few days to allow it to degas.

From http://timwendelboe.no/coffee/finca-tamana-espresso/
"When the coffee is roasted it develops a lot of CO2 gas inside the beans. This gas will make the coffee taste smokey and ashy immediately after roasting. It is absolutely crucial to let the coffee degas and rest for a while before use to ensure maximum flavour."

He gives a great talk on sourcing high quality beans here:

For skeptics, here is Moxie talking about it:

https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/

... Signal began by using the social graph that already lives on everyone’s phones: the address book. Rather than a centralized social graph owned by someone else, the address book is distributed and user-owned. Additionally, having the social graph already on the device means that the Signal service doesn’t need to store a copy of it. Any time someone installs or reinstalls Signal, their social graph is already available locally.

An AI that can't make a joke is sad. The nature of comedy is that it is offensive taken at face value but humorous to everyone when taken in context. Clearly standup comedians are not going to be replaced any time soon.

And what constitutes "hate speech" can vary a lot depending on who you ask, what country you're in, etc. There is obvious hate speech like Nazi-ism and Holocaust deniers, and there is the nuanced stuff that can (and will!) get labeled as hate speech by the SJWs behind this kind of research.
I don't see how this case has anything to do with GPL.
I'm not sure there's any phone provider that has security updates available the same day that Google releases them, or very quickly at all. I remember the last Samsung phone I had, S7 edge, I went months without updates. Unfortunately, if security is a top priority, your best choice at 1st party phones like Google's Pixel or the iPhone.

I used to use Xiaomi's flagship and it seemed to have fairly regular updates, but every time I installed one it would replace all of my preferences and default to using their own replacements apps instead of stock Android apps that I preferred. I finally had to get rid of it way before the end of its useful lifespan because there there seemed to be a whole lot of issues surrounding its customization of Android. The deal breaker was after an update when I stopped receiving text messages reliably. Sometimes they'd come through immediately, sometimes a few minutes late, and a few days a week they wouldn't come in at all until either 1) I rebooted 2) I lost and then regained cell signal 3) I airplane mode on then off.

I tried all sorts of work arounds, suggested fixes from browsing forums, etc., nothing worked. I liked the phone, but it just got too stressful for work: My boss is respectful of normal business hours, but during the day still relies heavily on text messaging for requests, urgent issues, etc.

I was pissed off at having to put out money for a new phone so early, so I went with the budget Pixel 4a, and honestly I don't see much of a performance hit at all, even though it's about 25% worse on CPU specs. And even though the camera specs are much lower, it takes much better photos. At this point, I'm a convert to 2nd tier Pixel phones.

There is tight interaction between udev and systemd. Heck, udev was folded into the systemd code (you find it now as a sub-dir of the systemd source tree over at freedesktop.org) because they didn't want code duplication...

This after having udev exist as a independent project for a decade.

These days the only way to download and install udev manually is to download the whole of systemd and then extract udev from that. Something that caused Gentoo to fork udev into eudev.
