You are making a calculation mistake. If interest rates are 20%, then $1.20 next year = $1.00 this year.

In reality, the person who invests the money actually comes out worse. If his investment had either profit or capital gains, he paid even more taxes. I.e., instead of getting $1.20 next year for every $1.00 he put in this year, he's getting something less than that.

With the current taxation regime, the only benefit to investment is shifting consumption into the future. But you actually pay pretty dearly for that. You can see a more detailed explanation here: http://www.themoneyillusion.com/?p=28842
Introversion is a bit bigger than just two people IIRC.

They also predate the post Steam indie boom: they have a longish history of creating interesting, innovative games that weren’t always that commercially successful going back to around the year 2000.

So they may have hit a smallish jackpot, but they’ve worked long & hard for it if so.

Thanks! It looks like the scroll up boxes are the latest trend and they are probably less annoying since they are no interruption. The "welcome gates" are another trend but basically they just completely hide the content you intend to view. I guess I'd prefer the unintrusive 'end of the blog post' sign up box that promises added value. Promoting your newsletter on Facebook and Twitter every once in a while can also work.

> Whoever wrote this piece of legislation is to blame here.

But just that is politics!

I heard that now for years, that this is the best practice approach, that is used in many countries: Put together one bad rules with one or two good laws. And when you want to be sure, that the whole package will be voted for, just put some poison-pill in -- something that will bring up (stupid) voters up against those people that vote against it.

What we get: We get cheaper roaming but may lose the future (the US is already so much ahead of Europe, when it comes to online-services and online-startups). This really is old Europe! (I as European would even say stupid Europe!)

Maybe I should have said "interesting" instead of "funny". Of course, the reason I know about H2S in sewage is that I was in charge of all the water and sewage piping systems on my first ship. Including safe re-entry and emergency response to leaks. So, yes, I'm quite aware of the hazard presented by H2S. I wouldn't advocate running it residentially, but perhaps in high power low voltage situations like inside a power plant, or major substations, it might make sense.
Web devs have been using presentaional class names to style HTML elements ever since there was CSS around. So, this is not something new. What's new though is your recommendation to use class names as the exclusive method of binding between CSS and HTML, which in my opinion is not practical and moderately limiting for the aforementioned reasons I listed in a prior reply.

Also, it's worth mentioning that class naming and achieving consistency and predictability throughout a project is an extra work to do and from my experience it can be very daunting. I already suffer and I can barely cope with the organizational overhead that comes with naming files descriptively and consistently, and how to structure the project tree accordingly, and as you know a poor implementation is no better than having none.

So, I don't really need to map the original CSS problem to a naming one in HTML to make things worse for me. If it works for you, you should go for it but with the knowledge that there are other people out there who prefer another approach away from these "clerk" duties.

As with the other point you raised of the disadvantage of mirroring the HTML structure in your CSS, I'd like to get your feedback on some examples. Do you really think that having something like «ol > li» or «select > option» is excessive? Aren't these elements highly coupled by nature? You don't really expect a «div» or «section» to be a child of an «ol» element, do you?

I know that HTML parsers are forgiving by nature but expecting them to break the basic rules of the language is ridiculous.

Here's another example, I recently wrote a timeline module/widget that has a distinct style for both the start and finish points while another one for the other points. So, I opted for a tightly coupled solution for that using pseudo classes like «:first-child», «:last-child», «nth-child(odd):not(:first-child)» ...

Do you really think that this is unnecessary and difficult to reason about in the context of that the design is prescribed this way that the first and last elements share a certain style while the others share another one with slight modifications for odd and even elements?

Yeah you might it view this style as a bit verbose compared to going class-only but the styling of the module is very rational and predictable to the point that can be extended programmatically to other contexts with the help of mixins or other constructs.

In the end, the whole proposal of restricting styling to only class selectors is not enticing or compelling enough for me to make the switch, at least for now.
Sugar is added to cured salmon because it helps prevent the growth of microorganisms. When this process was originally developed, food spoilage was a huge problem (it meant the difference between survival and death) while metabolic disorders were rare.
Man, I instead always wished for a non-American centric realistic city building game. Where you start not from 1800-something, but from 0 AD or earlier. As eras go by you get new buildings and requirements (reinvent your roads for cars, dismantle & re-purpose buildings, etc), plus some disasters and events change (in old eras you get raided by foreign armies, ...). In the end, you get a meld of old and new architecture and a truly alive city.
Bundling very different laws into one package is an old trick. You wouldn't vote against the "Keyhole-Spying & Non-Puppy-Killing Act" right? In this case telcos were against losing those sweet roaming charges so at least they got several exemptions from net neutrality in the process.

Because most news organizations are not rigorous and care more about clicks than journalism.
I have seen a bunch of friends trying with the same feedback.

I think the key is to do it very strictly for a few weeks. Otherwise, you have a hard time understanding some of your feelings. When you completely stop, you can clearly see the difference.

Sometimes, I think I am too strict so I take a peace of cake, and I usually regrets eat because I have this weird feeling an hour later.

Also, I want to insist on the fact that I had a lot of junk food while I was younger, and I think the effect on my body was big.

My observation is that people who grew up eating healthy don't have the same problems.
I thought this was interesting because most languages have compression bindings that at least support flush, and I can think of a huge variety of use cases even where a small (32k) window would be sufficient. For example all Python installations have a zlib binding, whereas getting access to something like bsdiff requires a third party library and binding to be installed on both sides of the connection.
The trouble is that unlocking the device gives access to the whole device. And the willingness of the government to use parallel construction to conceal the origin of evidence has removed the ability of courts to restrict the admissibility of unlawfully obtained evidence. If we can't prevent them from using unlawfully obtained evidence then they have to be prohibited from unlawfully obtaining it under the pretext of looking for something else.

I dont think anyone credible would claim Japan is in a depression but rather it has experienced deflation and very weak growth. Or how do we explain parasite children?

Immigration is one solution to their problem, but not _the_ solution if were looking at the domestic demand side. Immigrants don't magically bring innovation, unless you're talking about very educated immigrants which typically are a tiny fraction of any immigrant group.

There are lots of immigrants to Turkey and Bahrain even Mexico (though net looks different due to their outflows) but, no, I think Japan's issues are structural. They have a perverse system of incentives which plough too much into useless infrastructure and also their workplace culture. That's not to say they aren't innovating, they continue to innovate, it's just that they have not adapted well to globalization, and internal consumption hasn't compensated for the slack. That said, in this liberal economic context of today, deflation is not a good thing. Or ask Japanese how they feel about their economy.
Sounds like there should be two separate organizations, with one providing "get back on your feet" lodging and job placements, and another providing "palliative care" for the unfixable cases with food, medicine, drug counseling, etc.

I can see a lot of people I know having to use some help getting back on their feet if things really fell apart for them, and I can see them succeeding in doing so. I can't really see any of them reduced to abusing drugs to the point of homelessness.

We don't need to bring hakarl into this. Or into anything else, really. And this is from someone who has enjoyed homemade kefir (until killing the culture).

Starting your own fermentation culture is dead simple. The problem is that your local strains of dust-borne microbes are not likely to be very tasty, or as useful as a more domesticated culture. So just like there are companies who make money on open-source software, there will be companies that make money on particular freely-available fermentation cultures. There already are such companies.[0] There are also informal networks of people who trade cultures through the mail. That's how I got my kefir culture.

Yes! Since GitHub Pages dosen't let me run actual code (can't use it as a full-stack server, only to show html pages), I use heroku to actualy process the payment (Stripe on GitHub Pages captures the infos and send it using POST to my heroku instance).

One attribute that puts Silicon Valley in the category of globally iconic regions is its penchant to reinvent itself. Over the last 30 years, the waves have gone from DRAM to CPUs to networking to Dot-coms to Social and Web 2.0. Toss in a healthy dose of biotech for flavor.

Now, are we really establishing automotive as core industry? Tesla, Google and Apple as auto manufacturers? Today, it's tiddlywinks in the shadows of Detroit, Regensburg or Toyota City, but is there any chance The Valley is not totally deluded and another automotive center is emerging?
Not true. Many retailers have their Black Friday deals online as well. The only difficult thing about getting the loss leaders is timing the purchase before the supply runs out.

I have become so wary of comments about lifestyle or diet changes that result in a bevy of subjective improvements. Like when people start running and they have all these wonderful side effects — more energy, better sleep, mood improvements, etc — where in my experience I really didn't experience any of it when I trained for a triathlon a couple years back. It just reminds me of infomercial testimonials. I need to see double-blind clinical trials that prove the effects outperform placebo at this point. It all sounds logical, because "sugar bad" but I have become far too skeptical these days.
And all the issues mentioned in there are in the x86-64 versions of Intel CPUs, as well. Some of them may be only available in x86-64 CPUs.

My issue with Bogost's article was that he missed one of the core mentalities that went into designing the game: that you are only the architect. The prison industrial complex's main causes aren't rooted in the way prisons are designed and built.

> ...but it’s ludicrous to pretend that it makes for a worthwhile study of the 21st-century American prison...

But not quite as ludicrous as writing up a profile based on the assumption that it was supposed to be. It's pretentious post modern critique at its worst. Political and cultural criticism is fine, but demanding that things tangentially related to the game's focus be shoehorned in is absolutely ridiculous. I don't see how this is different than criticizing Super Mario Bros. for failing to properly address the realities of life as an working class Italian American.

It's not just that most people are bad writers; people generally get worse at basic writing skills (grammar, sentence structure) when they are writing about unfamiliar or complex topics. When academics are reporting on their ongoing research, at least part of what they want to say will be ideas with which they have only recently become familiar, and the clarity of their writing will suffer as a result.
It's more about the quantity of sugar than the fact the salmon has sugar. When people say cut added sugar out of your diet, they're talking about removing a single food item that might have 20-45 grams of sugar.

It's an interesting consideration. Software is clearly not a primary layer, but neither is oil.

Energy, land, machinery, labor, transport - a few of the things you need to extract and then process oil. The same goes for creating and making a microchip useful. The first oil tower at Titusville didn't use oil as its energy source.

Is oil a layer two product, and software a layer three product? Perhaps, however oil is definitely not primal, it just seems like it is. The vast effort and industry required to make oil useful, along with a century of science, is mostly hidden away from view.

I'm not confused but you're right, I did mean to type domains rather than TLDs.

Anyways, I'm actually arguably in favour or a Land Value Tax. Land is a super fininte resource and holding onto it for no reason other than as an investment screws over anybody who isn't there first. This is great if you have land, for whatever reason, but not to great if you grow up poor and want to live anywhere near your place of work in a place like London where the property market is completely broken.

The domains landscape is similar, except that it is indeed easier to create new TLDs than manage the mess of domain speculation.

Anti-GG have in fact called in bomb threats against pro-GG meetings multiple times, so that doesn't follow.

Look, it's clear you feel strongly about this, but when you dismiss the misdeeds of people on your "side" you are doing exactly the same thing you're condemning on the other "side." It's better to take a civil attitude towards everyone. Discussion is good, threats and hyperbole are not. Gaming would be better off without the trolls and frothers on both sides of this mess.
Why Zomato is better than Yelp in some markets
Actually, I am a bit unimpressed by the body weight data. You can see clearly in their individual data that there are a ton of errors in readings, and while the SEM is low by the final day, I'm not sure you can make much of that information when so many of the individuals had daily swings >1kg.

It does look like OGTT changes are dependent on weight change (post-hoc weight-gaining group did not see the same benefit as the total cohort).

To me, the diastolic BP, baseline fasting insulin, and OGTT AUC are the real stars here.
But also sounds like, for example, producers of vaccines arguing against that one study that vaccines cause autism. Just because they have an ulterior motive in defending their product doesn't mean they're wrong.

Because journalism is a systematically dishonest profession populated largely by people who do not want their readers to be able to catch their mistakes and do not want to give credit to the researchers who made the discovery that earned the clicks for the news article. They care about entertaining, not informing; the truth or falsehood of what they are writing is irrelevant to them, except as a constraint that might impede the telling of a sensational story (all else being equal, a story is more sensational if it is true than if it is fiction). Like PageRank-hungry SEO scum, they will only name sources if they think some of that the source's credibility will rub off on their article, never vice versa.
