The chlorin ring in chlorophyll serves practically the same function for magnesium as the porphyrin ring in heme serves for iron.

You seem to have missed my point. It's what those names don't communicate that makes them better. They don't make it seem like they're more broadly applicable than they are.

That said, the "sharp" in "resharper" actually does hint at its Microsoft nature, as it's the same sharp in "csharp"
I don't think there actually is much in the way of supporting that position. It just seems to be the school of thought espoused by certain folks in politics and the media. It's as if to say poor people are predisposed to becoming terrorists. Is that logical? I actually don't think there is any evidence to support that.
This is one of those things where is not a law that says "you may not keep cash in a SD box," however there are several laws and regulations that make it sub-optimal or difficult to disprove an allegation that you broke some other law.

1. No FDIC insurance (no legal impact obviously but flooding is not unheard of)
2. If you have a large amount of cash with no traceable origin, the IRS is definitely going to want to know how you came about it. Concealing the source of cash violates federal regulations.
3. I've heard many times that directly taking cash out of circulation is itself a crime, and that courts have interpreted SD boxes as such, however the only actual source I can find says that physically destroying cash (e.g. burning it) is a crime.

I have edited my post to reflect the fact that I'm actually not 100% sure now :)
The area I live in was supposed to be headed towards a fracking boom and it mostly fizzled. The combination of dropping prices and lower-than-expected output from test wells kept the drilling far more isolated than it was supposed to.

I suspect if prices rise again, those test wells may have proved to be profitable. However, the oil companies came through and leased tons of acreage already and spent lots of money on the leases. Even if prices come back, many of the leases would have either expired or the gas companies would have to pay for their extension provisions. Given the state of the companies that started leasing (CHK: down 86% since they leased my father-in-laws old farm property), I don't think they have the money to do that. Even if the original leaser sold the leases off, which happened in many cases, the new owner would still have to pony up the extension and then start drilling again, exposing themselves to OPEC under-cutting them again.
Actually, that's not part of the standard yet, but at least somebody is working on it:

It's not just special, there are social pressures that totally distort rational thinking. People (parents, teachers, advisors) tell kids to go to the best school they can. There is a ton of hype about attending the "Right school for you" etc. There are rankings and all sorts of other stuff.

Schools distort true cost through murky financial aid processes. Then the gov't continues the scam by calling loans "financial aid."

Plus the customers are 17 year olds whose most expensive purchase before this was saving up for that really cool concert that one time. And now they are borrowing tens of thousands (sometimes hundreds).

It's also impossible to judge the worth of college.

It's just a mess. We shouldn't be giving kids and young adults that much rope to hang themselves with.

The government should institute price controls for anyone using federal loans. 30k tuition is a total scam.

People don't scan linearly; they recognise the pagination controls as a block. It's much quicker to jump to the end of the pagination block to find the "next" link than to scan through all of the numbers to find the current page and then find the next page.

Also, you're forgetting about the fact the bottom of the page forms a boundary. If you're pagination is at the bottom of the page it is consistently the same distance from the bottom after you scroll all the way down.

If you have a mousewheel you can take advantage of this on Google. After you click next the first time, leave your cursor in the same position and use the mousewheel to scroll as you scan the results. Once you hit the bottom, the cursor is over the next link and you can just click.

Even if the user isn't advanced enough to use a mousewheel, they can still become familiar with the position of the next link relative to bottom left of the page.

> New York Fed President William Dudley said last month that policy makers were "not thinking at all seriously of moving to negative interest rates.

> "But I suppose if the economy were to unexpectedly weaken dramatically, and we decided that we needed to use a full array of monetary policy tools to provide stimulus, it’s something that we would contemplate as a potential action," he said on Jan. 15.

The Fed continues to fritter away whatever credibility it has left by waffling back and forth on interest rates.

It raised interest rates and committed to 2.0% core inflation by 2018 just two months ago. By including this long-term negative interest rate scenario in its 2016 stress tests, it is basically admitting that there is some non-negligible probability that it will be unable to follow through on this commitment, and that banks should be prepared to weather the storm if and when it completely loses control of its grip over the direction of the short term interest rate.

The article does not actually speculate on what might happen if the Fed were to reverse its rate hike and instead lower the FFR into negative territory. I'd imagine that basically nothing would change, and that the banks would simply take a 0.25% haircut on their holdings of 3-month treasury bonds as they have been doing in Europe for the past 1.5 years. They will not pass this negative interest rate onto regular customers as this would either (a) drive them to another bank which would benefit from the new deposits or (b) force consumers to withdraw deposits and hold cash instead. Banks need these deposits to loan against, and a 0.25% "holding tax" on a relatively small portion of their holdings would not justify the loss in deposits. Banks will just eat the hit to their profit margins and life will go on as normal in the supply side of money world.

For that to work would have needed to have on hand something like a Cygnus or Dragon commercial supply vehicle and the first unmanned supply to the ISS that wasn't a Progress was 5 years later in 2008. [1] There was Progress M-47 which launched Feb 2, 2003. I'm not sure where that would have put it in their launch preparations. It doesn't look like Progress would have had the ability to match the inclination of Columbia though. See Mvandenbergh's comment on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7305224

TL;DR Probably not. The only existing vehicle that could autonomously rendezvous with the Shuttle was Progress and it couldn't make it to the Columbia's inclination. [2]

[1] I used unmanned flights to the ISS here since anything else is unlikely to be in production to be re-purposed by NASA. (Also I don't know where to start looking for an easy list of alternatives).

[2] It might have been possible but it would have required cooperation from Russia and China and then there's no docking adapter on Columbia's mission so Progress would have had to keep station while Columbia's crew did an EVA to get the supplies.

It seems in my uneducated opinion like the whole system would rely heavily on "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours". Anyone more knowledgeable have insight into that?
For anyone looking for a quick summary, the problem is orbital inclination (i.e. how tilted the orbit is relative to the equator). Columbia was in a 39 degree inclination, and for reasons related to physics (their launch site is at a high latitude) and politics (China lies to the east) the Russians can't launch into inclinations less than 51 degrees. It's possible to change inclinations after launch, but requires a metric buttload (technical term) of fuel.

This is all leaving aside the fact that the Russians (or, indeed, anybody) don't just have rockets sitting around ready to go at a moment's notice.
OK, I tweaked it a little bit.
Oh wow, you cannot fathom how much I love this notion.

If the Fed started buying up Student Loan Paper at even half the rate of the MBS program - let's go with $30 billion a month - I would probably faint out of disbelief because that action might actually benefit the economic engine of the United States.
Since most people don't do this already despite losing money to inflation, I doubt there will be a significant change in behavior for most people when interest rates tip negative.

"prevent European Union regulators from restricting data transfers by companies such as Google and Amazon across the Atlantic."

The regulators wouldn't restrict data transfer - the existing Directive does. The question is not whether the Data Protection agencies can or not restrict data transfers, but whether the courts consider that this new agreement allows companies to comply with the Directive.
If you were extremely desperate, it seems like it ought to be possible to basically put this stuff in a fancy box/bag, launch it, and have the Shuttle do all the maneuvering to rendezvous.

In my case it's an ex-coworker. He's directly responsible for the worst period of my life. The twisted part is that he has no idea how I feel, which makes retribution more satisfying for me; he has no idea where it's coming from. Only my wife knows how I feel about him.

Generally I don't even think about the fact he exists. It's more of a background thing, when the opportunity presents itself (once every few years), I act.

Is it healthy? Probably not. But it's also not like I spend my time designing schemes to get back at him. Is it normal? Also probably not. But I kinda like having this secret.

They're actually profitable – not enormously so but the situation doesn't warrant the hyperbole:

It seems to me that in this situation savings accounts would have the nominally negative rate, whereas checking accounts would have a nominal rate of zero. Since inflation affects the real value of both accounts equally, then the checking accounts would have a higher real rate.

Since both accounts are covered by FDIC insurance [0], it seems that the only difference (unless I am missing something) lies in the rate of return, thus ceteris paribus and the checking accounts have a better rate of return compared to savings accounts. Both have real negative rates, so the situation would be an active discouragement to hold the government-managed currency in any form.

Regarding cash holdings, you are right that they are probably a bad idea. However, if numerous banks could potentially experience a crisis beyond the intervention capabilities of the Fed and Federal government, then it would probably be more sensible to move the money into cash and store it in safety deposit boxes, possibly across multiple banks. This to me seems an unlikely scenario, but not necessarily impossible.

Resume: http://goo.gl/ZKjLIn

Looking to move into modern systems programming for internet scale systems. I've done a lot of sustaining work in the past but I want to write more novel code. Over the years, I've acquired a fair number of skills that I'd like to apply. I have a couple of personal projects I've worked on, such as an android app (java) for a non-profit that has an accompanying backend in django (python). I've another C++ project that is a key value store with a REST API. There's also my reddit AMA FAQ creation software. That one's done in python. It vectorizes questions and clusters them based on the resulting representation; the result is that similar questions get grouped together so more people can get answers to their questions.
Then there's my Ruby/Grape activity stream server. It creates feeds based on whatever objects you create in the system. I wanted to learn Ruby so this is the project I've started to do just that!
I'm also open to non-conventional software jobs, like sustaining, or anything you have in mind.
>"Also, if monetary policy is driving rates negative, technically, capital "required" for productivity is literally free."

This is only superficially true. Real interest rates also take inflation risk and investment risk into account, so they could easily be quite signiifcant even when the central bank says there is a negative interest rate.
The doc you linked to describes how to create a bundle of JS that will export a "require()" function exposing the bundled libs to other JavaScript.

There weren't stable prices by any means from 1800-1900 but would you say there wasn't a growing economy? The US even was able to support the freeing of slaves and their entry into the marketplace as laborers over that term.
I absolutely agree that:

> Just because you enjoy the job doesn't mean you shouldn't be appropriately compensated for doing the job.

I am not sure of the exact numbers (haven't been in the market enough lately to pay close attention) but there is some cost of living difference between SF and ND (for example), and thus I'd expect to pay developers in different areas differently even though they have the same skill set. The particular numbers don't matter, the difference is the essence.

Or am I missing your point? Is your point that a senior lead dev should have a globalized, singular payscale? That seems like an interesting argument, but I'm not sure one that is supported by the labor data I've seen.
I'm in the same boat and it can be quite frustrating. The main issue that I've found is most of my classmates tend to be people who are "dipping their toes in" to the water of higher education and aren't sure what they want to do. It's very non-committal and many of them also aren't interested in putting the effort in (yet).

It's unfortunate, as discussions are not nearly as engaging as they could be.
Perks in SV companies are absolutely not frivolous expenses! They are a necessary expense to attract and keep the right talent, in competition with other SV companies that also offer generous perks. If you cut it, morale plummets and you will lose a lot of good employees.

The link you posted contains great tips for assembly-line factories filled with replaceable hourly workers. SV is.. not that.
Are you talking about the thread with Mvandenbergh and tanzam75? Based on:

> If you launch from Baikonur directly into a 46° orbit, you will drop spent rocket stages on China. That is why the Russians launch into a 51° orbit, even though their launch site is at 46°.

> With a Proton, you have enough delta-v to launch into 51° and then make a change of plane to 39°.

It could have made the orbit just fine it just wouldn't be able to boost the shuttle into the ISS's plane. It probably could have brought them supplies if China agreed to allow the spent boosters to fall.
Don't underestimate perception. Fees/taxes/"negative savings interest" are much more visible than inflation. I'd be surprised if that didn't cause bank runs.

For my part, I already carefully manage how much I keep liquid versus invested, but anything equivalent to a fee would cause me to switch institutions or otherwise drastically change this strategy.
>> I can turn your comment on its head and it works quite well: we can't settle for technically inferior free software if we want to see a world in which users can control their computers.

> Well, users can't control their computers in that example. They can hope to control their computers, or hope that the developers which actually control their computers don't do anything nasty to them.

I don't mean to speak for hyperpape, but I think that was the point: it's evident that some users value convenience/features/usability/etc over the control of their computers, so unless free software is as good or better than nonfree alternatives then these users won't have control.
