Perhaps I should have put the full poverty level tables which are calculated at https://aspe.hhs.gov but 10x the local poverty level seems more than fair.

> Again, any minimum salary requirement, becomes very easy to game (employee can be expected to pay back in cash, for the difference). This will put genuine companies (that cannot do such shady deals) at a great disadvantage

Paybacks are illegal now and should stay that way. A couple of criminal prosecutions would do wonders for fraud.
His wikipedia page is a good place to start:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Ver

* He sold explosives on ebay back in the day, and went to prison for it.

* He renounced his US citizenship to avoid paying taxes...

* ...but was for some reason VERY annoyed when the US government wouldn't let him back in.

* Of course he funded Ross Ulbricht's defense in the Silkroad trial.

Mostly though, he is the subject of waaaay too many posts on /r/buttcoin. Who you take money from shows what kind of organization you want to build. ZCash is currently failing this test for me.
The lack of /var/run/docker.sock is annoying but its really not that big of a deal in my opinion either. docker-machine covers a lot of other use cases such as multi-host docker swarms and docker in the cloud. Adding this tool to the toolbox is extra mental overhead for a small benefit if you have any need for these more advanced use cases.
Yeah....most people in the know think Hunsader is full of crap.

He certainly sounds smart to people outside of the business of HFT, but he's not quite the droid everyone seems to think he is. His opinions of HFT and the various market microstructures that evolve are quite hilarious to anyone with a trading background.
I don't think you need all that. They use stepper motors so they do indeed turn exactly 90 degrees. What they would have to worry about is the suction cup not sticking perfectly. E.g. after a 90 degree turn if the momentum makes that part of the cube slide a little when they try to stop, it will introduce a small error. Maybe turning other parts of the cube would correct it.

If you're talking specifically about Google-branded devices (as opposed to e.g. an ASUS Chromebook) the Pixel 2 was released in March 2015, about 2 years after the original Pixel.

It works both ways, anonymous money prevents people from choosing not to accept your own money as much as it does the other way around. It makes the transaction purely about the money, I don't think that's powerless, just reduces people's ability to mind other people's business.
The Chromebook Pixel is new in 2015, and is wonderful. ChromeOS is an excellent, rock-solid OS built on solid technical foundations.
Meanwhile, I've been using an Sony Xperia Z tablet for a couple of years. It's starting to get old, but Sony have updated it to Lollipop which I think is fair enough.

In my mind, it's a better experience than any of the iPads of various version that I also have, and it is also rock solid.

But really, laptop replacement? Even with a keyboard both an iPad or any Android device will suck. My poor kids are using their iPads in school, but if I had to do serious work with it, I'd probably go insane.
What we need is brain transplants. Then when we've perfected that, we need to secretly abduct various politicians and other powerful people, and replace their brains with those of better people who volunteer to take their places. Then, since the brain transplant won't be obvious, we can have a better society without these sociopaths ruining it for us.
Very curious to see what people think about O'Reilly's supposition that many, if not most, startups are just another financial instrument that don't actually create wealth:

"When a startup doesn’t have an underlying business model that will eventually produce real revenues and profits, and the only way for its founders to get rich is to sell to another company or to investors, you have to ask yourself whether that startup is really just a financial instrument, not that dissimilar to the CDOs of the 2008 financial crisis — a way of extracting value from the economy without actually creating it."
Implementing your own spam filter in Python
Yes, actually Facebook started to grow with east-coast VCs, already had some success before they got Silicon Valley investors to go to the next step (because east coast VCs weren't used to the SV amount of money). And obviously, moving to SV was a condition.
The output in their screenshots look nice, but it looks like there are some cases that aren't handled as cleanly as I suspect LilyPond would render them. In the "Praeludium 10" screenshot on their website, look at the first sixteenth note in bar 21, for example. It's rendered really close to the left margin (and obscures the tempo marking); most printed scores would include a tad more padding for readability. Would be interesting to read their layout algorithm and compare it to Lily's (I guess I can!).
The thought of a head transplant creeps me out like almost nothing else, probably because of that X-Files movie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X-Files:_I_Want_to_Believe)
Thanks for the info! I'll take a look.
I actually /really/ like this idea. It also implies that anything of such value must be registered and that it only gets taxed that one time.

For the intangible things I would say that an open bidding process every census period would be a good way of judging what the market thinks it's worth. Adjustments might be necessary for changes in the constitution of an asset. (E.G. There's now a building, discovered natural resource, or it's part of a different sized lot unit.) Approximations in resource description could be used to round up/down and group together the units in an area for some anonymity and consistency.

To prevent collusion in 'sitting' on an area those who own it would also be required to bid in buying it back. If they come out over the median bid then they get their land back (but are taxed at the rate they sold it for), if they don't then they can keep the land but get taxed at the 95th percentile bid rate for that area. The top 1% of bidders would also have the option of buying any asset forfeitures within that area at the price that they listed. That would also be the assessed tax value of that land for that period.
Udemy Took Down My Coding Course with No Advanced Warning For an ID Check
I got an email from Udemy this morning (I didn't see it for four hours!) saying they had randomly taken down my coding course because of a spot identity check.

Wow am I pissed!

I guess the 300+ people who purchased the course this month are just screwed. And the like 1,500 others who bought it previously are just shit out of luck too.

This is insane!

Udemy has taken my course down and given me 24-48 hours to respond with my ID and a video saying I'm me, before they will put the course back up.

Couldn't they have done that BEFORE taking down my course and screwing over all my paying students? Horrible behavior from Udemy. They should be ashamed.

I've done nothing wrong. The course is mine, was created by me, and is a popular course with great reviews.

I don't mind verifying my identity, but why not give me the chance to do that before you take down my course and screw over my paying students????

Here's the email they sent me:
>>Hello, In light of recent events (which you can read about in our CEOâ€™s blogpost here: https://blog.udemy.com/maintaining-the-integrity-of-our-udemy-community/), we are conducting spot check instructor verifications and have temporarily taken down your course (NAME WITH HELD). Please email a copy of your government issued identification to copyright@udemy along with a 30 second or less video where you say the name of the course and that you are submitting this video for us for verification. Please do not submit any information already provided in your course profile. We will delete your ID from our systems within 24 hours of receipt. If we do not receive your ID and the video within 48 hours, we will delete your course from our site. Thank you in advance for keeping our learning community safe. Best regards, Udemy Copyright
> Most people acknowledge that the Iraqi people aren't ready for Democracy.

This is a really contentious statement that you just drop in both as fact and as the basis of your entire argument.

No, I would not say that 'the Iraqi people aren't ready for Democracy' is a true statement. I also wouldn't say that what 'most people [in the US]' think about the Iraqi people's readiness for democracy [in Iraq] is really relevant to the question of whether they are ready for democracy [in Iraq]. I also wouldn't say that the question of whether they (as a group) are 'ready' for democracy in Iraq is relevant to answering the question of whether individual Iraqi people are 'ready' for democracy in Minnesota (whatever that means).

> Look at how much trouble the U.S. has had cultivating democracy in places like Iraq.

It also doesn't help that we have a long history of doing the exact opposite of 'cultivating democracy' in the Middle East (ie, going in and deposing democratically-elected leaders so that we can install dictators that are friendly to the US).

The US has had trouble cultivating democratically elected regimes that are friendly towards us in countries like Iraq. In the US, we tend to conflate 'democratic government' with 'government that shares our objectives and goals'.

I appreciate the cynicism. I've never been called a pessimist, so I might have a rosy view of things. I think it's not that hard, though. Technologically, it's very straightforward. Convincing people that they should sacrifice financial privacy is the hard part. That's why I've already started it.
> If the widget had some internal element construction to do then yes, I would agree

...which covers most everything, really. Also, in the React world, if you just need to manipulate the data passed into a component, that's all pure JS. Only the component itself (with a reference to the passed-in data) would be JSX, which is distinctly more friendly to work with than string concatenation. (and I say that as someone that hates having a build step)

> However, there is still value in being able to share the same html template across multiple models.
...
> Now you're faced with having to copy/paste the same template over and over in React

I don't think you understand the concept of a React component, or I've misunderstood what you are saying. Make that template once and just use it wherever needed!

I have some complaints with React, but lack of reuse and JSX being worse than the alternatives are NOT among them.
Bruce Sterling has a whole bunch of futurist notes you can read: http://www.viridiandesign.org/NotesIndex.htm - some of it is spot on, some of it was obvious even at the time to clued in people, and some of it is way out there still.

No supply of money is unlimited, and throwing more people at a problem doesn't necessarily solve it.

No sane company is going to invest more money in a platform than they believe they'll eventually get a return for, so that's generally an upper bound. You don't spend 20 billion on a project you think will net you 5 billion in revenue.

You would hope so. Unfortunately not if you are running swift as of XCode 7.2, the latest public release. For Objective C it works.
I'm not talking about privileges. I'm talking about getting immigrants to buy into the attitudes and values that make America worth living in. I'm talking about integrating immigrants into American society as neighbors so they're not living in their own neighborhoods where they can insulate themselves from the prevailing culture. There is a limit on how quickly you can do this.

Exactly.

I mean, I understand (and even slightly sympathise with) the way big hedge funds and banks hate the way HFT are competing with them and driving their margins down.

...what I'm confused by is why so many journalists and authors are taking the side of the hedge funds over the interests of retail investors. With apologies to Goldman, but when you have Goldman on one side and Vanguard on the other, my default assumption is that the Goldman side is probably doing something shady. Which is, to be sure, a rebuttable presumption, but not one I've seen rebutted.

This article reminds me how many time Europe has had to rebuild or reconstruct in the recent 500+ years. Rebuilding forces societies to start from scratch and think of new methods/alternatives.

Does anyone know if South Asian cities have had similar forced rebuilding efforts? I don't think they have. Natural disasters have not level-ed a city. War/Invasions have lead to attackers being assimilated.
>Before 2000

...What??? If google was as good as some people claim, we should be able to look up something like U.S. automobile imports from 1950 through 2015. Also, NAFTA became law in 1994, and I'd argue that this is a lagging indicator more than a leading one. The culture at large (or at least the politically influential part) had to accept this first, before it became law.

The Great Bubble
Look, HFT as a concept is already black magic to people who trade.

It's a fundamentally simple idea but when you actually try to apply it to a real living breathing market, it becomes indistinguishable from electronic warfare because that's what it is!

A lot of the shenanigans that people point to are just different techniques to try and suss out the market microstructure and are in effect no different from trading techniques that evolved in the 1920s.

The best HFT book I ever read was "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" because if you look at what he's saying and then replace the people in the book with electronic agents, you end up right where we are with HFT.
James Heckman on Facts, Evidence, and the State of Econometrics
You'd think so but as with any religion there are different interpretations. There's a very libertarian (economically speaking, not civil rights) strand of Christianity that can be summarized in what I parodied: because the world was intelligently designed it's our god-given right to subdue nature and make the best use of it.
My complaint is more about the length of time in the OP's comment. Buying boots before a trip and then realizing on the trip that they're the wrong size is exactly what the return policy is for, but it shouldn't take two years of use to decide a sleeping bag isn't warm enough.
> the attitudes and values that make America worth living in.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that codifying exactly what those are and if someone is going to be able to accept them in X months/years is not going to be an easy task.
I've had the same problems trying to pair with another junior engineer. I would seem as if you'd be better of pairing with a senior engineer/mentor where you're focused on problem solving but also it is seen as an apprenticeship exercise, which means less distractions.
eMule and derivated have the .emulecollection format, which is just a binary file grouping together multiple ed2k links to files.

i-140 can transferred between employers and you retain your PD. Typically, sponsoring companies do not revoke i-140.
The intent of the H1B is supposedly to provide foreign workers for labor categories where no American national can be found to perform the work. If there is any training going on there at all, that is proof of fraud. If the ones doing the training are American nationals, that just makes it more egregious.

Hadean justice would alter the H1B visa category such that the guest worker could perform no function for the company other than to train American nationals to perform adequately in the labor category that required the imported foreign worker.

Clearly, if it is advantageous to import a skill, it would be more advantageous to replicate it during the limited time that it is available.
Google's strategy here might just be "hey, you can buy it now if you like, although it's not ready yet, and still get some use out of it early; but after a few point-releases, it'll turn into what it was supposed to be."

With bitcoin and other Nakamoto-consensus based crypto-currencies, the "solvency of the issuer" is irrelevant, because these currencies aren't debt based.
Dunno, seems like if they had just called this a "Nexus" and not a "Pixel" most of your points would fall apart, no?

It's a 10" Android Tablet. Looks nice enough I guess. Don't really see what it has to do with ChromeOS or the Chrome Books other than the reuse of the name.

And re: the Apple point, this is pretty much exactly as "incremental" over a ChromeOS device as an iPad is with over a MacBook.

Wow you have a terrible attitude about security. "None of these are an issue, just program in this [very specific way that requires pre-knowledge of these vulnerabilities] and you're safe, anything else is basically negligence."

Your opinions about rails-html-sanitizer are particularly troubling as even if you use the sanitizer as suggested in the docs you're vulnerable and your retort is "well you should encode AND sanitise, not just rely on the sanitiser doing what the documentation says it should do!" Why?

I have no issue with the wording in the official CVEs. But this attempt at whitewashing the, frankly, pretty serious issues is deplorable.

>Limits of any kind make no sense at all.

They are trying to protect US citizens from losing their jobs (or getting wages cut) due to a sudden availability of cheap labor. A government is rightfully concerned with making sure its own citizens are gainfully employed. Citizens vote, foreigners don't. Every person within those borders who does not have a job puts a drain on the rest of the country. Someone without a job outside of those borders does not. So bringing someone across those borders while an unemployed person is within them is a net economic negative.

Look at the biggest H-1B recipients: http://www.myvisajobs.com/Reports/2015-H1B-Visa-Sponsor.aspx It's all low quality outsourcing shops like Infosys and Cognizant.

These laws/protections are intended to prevent a race to the bottom. If the public subsidizes the operation of a company through security, education, and infrastructure, the community that makes that investment is entitled to ensure that the fruits of that investment go to other members of the community.
