In places where marijuana is illegal, it's tough to cook your own oil because your neighbors will smell it. There's no access to vaporizer liquid, and the vaporizers that do not need it and actually work are pretty expensive.
is there a way to run the benchmark from CLI? i would like to run the benchmark on our servers to see if we can get an improvement.
Sounds like FB isn't the platform for the people you interact with, then. As per another poster's comments, I just keep people I actually give a shit about unhidden. I care about what they're up to, so their content matters to me. Your point feels like it boils down to "There's no one in my life that's also on facebook that makes a post that matters to me, nor are there any special interests or groups that are worth following".

And at that point I'm not really sure it's a problem with facebook, or a problem at all, but moreso you not being the target user.

> I don't think it is really that "harmful" if you eat/vaporize it.

This is exactly the responses I was talking about.

The study clearly says THC causes the harmful cognition effects. You're still getting THC by eating/vaporizing it! (otherwise it'd be a pointless activity).

Consumption method is pretty irrelevant, other than less carcinogens when not smoking it (the only appreciable difference between consumption methods).
Except nothing. Simple-postcard doesn't have the tech, they aren't necessarily speaking for the state of affairs for the entire world.

"You can use existing Amazon CloudFront distributions for upload requests by simply enabling support in the AWS management console. When end users upload content, CloudFront will send the upload request back to the origin web server (such as an Amazon S3 bucket, an Amazon EC2 instance, an Elastic Load Balancer, or your own origin server) over an optimized route that uses persistent connections, TCP/IP and network path optimizations."

Where do we go after lithium iron phophate batteries as far as a galvanic chemical source for batteries?

Please help me the understand evidence that suggests we have somewhere on the periodic table to move to after Lithium batteries? (Lead Acid ----> NiCd ----> Lithium....now where do we go?)

We played with this a bit using both cloudfront and other cdns. While we did see some small improvements, it wasn't nearly as good as we were expecting on the upload side. It may be fixed now, but there were also many issues getting the proper headers to pass through cloudfront to s3 for chunked uploads.

I know of three ways to get data out of amazon's cloud. Whether they are the fastest depends on how much data you're talking about.

1) Download the data and pay egress bandwidth charges. Starts at $90/TB, but gets cheaper with more usage.

2) Use import/export snowball to have disks shipped to you. This is $30/TB + $250 per 80TB device.

3) Use direct connect to connect fiber directly to the region. Costs $1620/mo for each 10G line + $30/TB + an unknown amount to your fiber provider.

It's too bad that export traffic can't be marked as "low priority" with a cheaper cost. I imagine there are times at night when utilization is low and big export jobs could be run during those times. (It's obviously not in AWS's interest to make it cheap to get data out of their data centers.)

These are all red herrings from the most immensely important technology we must regulate....

We must put carbon capture technology on all coal plants as the immediate high impact stop-gap solution to CO2 emissions. I think the only way this happens is regulatory.

The general utility verdict on solar/wind is that it's good for displacing natural gas peaking in a small way.
What I've wondered is how much non-verbal context will be lost through such an interface. Today, when I'm trying to verify the authenticity or quality of something, it is a game that goes something like this:

1. Google it and click least spammy looking link (gauged by the URL, although that's no guarantee). I also see what sort of JS they try to load, if it is absolutely bloated with ad tags, etc.

2. Try to gauge from the design and other content of the site how genuine the answer might be. Are there affiliate links for anything they recommend peppered throughout? That's a signal it might not be unbiased info. Unfortunately, this is where judging a book by its cover comes into play as well. Some poorly designed sites buck the trend, but they are also prominent with spammy sites.

3. Find other sources to see if there is any consistent logic with said answer/product review/etc.

4. Make a decision hopefully.

So many of those pieces of the puzzle just aren't available when you limit your input/output to a system like this. There are obvious tradeoffs here--I just hope we don't lose the ability to make more informed decisions. Already I hate things like Apple obfuscating the full URL in the URL bar.
I saw my dad looking at charts one day and asked him what he was doing. He explained some stuff and the idea of owning part of a business really appealed to me. I could sit behind a pc, own part of a business, and make money doing it, what wasn't to like?

Since my dad wasn't the richest investor in the world, he wasn't the best so I started googling and quickly came across Warren Buffett. Not only is he the best (personal opinion), he also had a strategy that resonated with me. I had read basic books on technical traders, position traders, day traders and none of that made sense to me since they often neglects the underlying business. (I also didn't find traders close to the top of forbes' list.)

Once I found something that made sense, I pretty much watched every video online or tried to read every book he recommended. Luckily Warren Buffett loves teaching so there is plenty online you can find. The intelligent investor is definitely a must read. So is "security analysis", "common stocks uncommon profits" and a bunch of others. Here [1] you can find a list of "Buffett approved" books in case you run out.

831 commits in this repository tells me it is tweaked regularly. I guess the next response is: you probably aren't going to be updating your copy. That, and the idea that a project full of random source files is better than a structured solution of component projects, tells me where people's heads are at. We're not going to agree on this!
If your goal is to "make money" by personal selection of equities/futures/options/ETFs you will in the long run lose more money than having kept the money in a savings account. You will lose both the capital and interest.

Since the fastest way in the market to make a million dollars has historically been to start with two million, in todays markets one would need to start with 10 million.

Today 99% of profitable market trades are automated. You will neither have the hardware infrastructure, technical accumen, or market/insider knowledge to EVER compete. You may eventually acquire a sufficient technical understanding. Individually you will never gain the other two.

If you want to "gamble" then I would suggest you figure out how much money you are willing to lose. If it is less than five digits, you will have neither enough for learning nor enough to survive setbacks. Initial minor choice: take this cash to Vegas rather than Wall St.

Once you have your trading account setup and funded, leave it alone for the next month.
Watch market news. Read analysis. Join trading forums.
Once you are reasonably fluent in the lingo and action, go back to your trading account.
Second decision point: IF you are still interested in losing all that cash sitting in the account (think of what you could have used it for this past month, or how much it will accrue in your IRA/401k/saving account), then start tracking sectors which appeal to you.

Develop analysis to track stocks/sectors/etc in such a way that you feel you have insights to offer into the above discussion venues.

Now, the hard part. If you have spent sufficient time to gain understanding, and still have an interest in spending even greater time, then you are ready to start gambling for real.

You will have developed specific sectors/equities which you are interested in trading and so will have a reasonable idea about what to bet on. Do so with 1/4 or 1/3 of your cash.
Decide entry, exit and bail out prices.
Ignore these at the certainty of loss.
Make a buy order, keeping your perviously intuited prices in mind.
Wait for either a profit sale or a stop-loss sale.
After sale, assess every step of you process. What was accurate? Wrong? Unclear? Resolve all these questions.

Repeat this process until you have no more trading cash available in your account.

Final decision:
Either: scrimp, scrounge, beg, borrow and steal another stake; deposit into account and enter a lifelong addictive passion of passing your own money into the coffers of "others."
OR: acknowledge you have neither the time, interest, expertise, insider knowledge, infrastructure access or capital to continue this gambling and walk away.

Option 1 will cost you money, health and familial ties.
Option 2 will earn you great wealth and free time.

Good luck. Have fun storming the markets and don't say you weren't warned.

Depends on what you want to do, there is a difference between investing which is supporting companies by buying equity (stocks) or debt (bonds) which are growing, and trading which is taking advantage of information or value gaps in an imperfect market to extract value.

Back when I first started to ask questions about investing my 401k money and diversifying the stock I was getting as an employee at Sun I took a Forbes Stock Market study at home course, big 3 ring binder, a dozen cassette tapes. It was all about reading balance sheets, understanding metrics like price/earnings ratios versus price/income, margins vs profit vs growth. I've spent a fair amount of time "fake" investing, basically doing the research, pretending I had $5,000 to invest, and then investing it in the companies I imagined would be good investments, and tracking that over the course of a year to see how that $5,000 did relative to savings accounts or alternate strategies.

Briefly I looked at trading when "everyone was doing it" back in the dot-com days (that was quite a bull market). And I was struck by how much it felt exactly like playing craps in a casino. For me, I found that for a lot more work I wasn't getting any better returns than simply investing long on quality stocks and spending the time doing other things.

I will tell you that like most complex systems, the more you learn the more you realize what you don't know. And it doesn't help that things change, sometimes in major ways, in response to various events. It isn't something you can learn and then be done with sadly.

Nah, don't worry about it. If you read his bio it says that he started when he was 10yrs old creating websites and then interned at Netscape at age 14. He started quite young and it's obvious that his value systems at that age were quite different from most people.

I however, would not have given up my childhood for any amount of success or achievement. That stuff could have waited. I'm not even the least bit jealous of him because it's clear that him and I had different value systems. I had so much fun trading pokemon cards with my friends and running around in the neighborhood park. Screw going to Stanford at 15.

I do want to make it very very clear that this is not a criticism of Blake. I have tremendous respect for his accomplishments and his hilarious screenwriting. I just wanted to point out that it's not all roses and that people can frame these achievements in the context of different value systems.

O RLY Cover Generator – Parody of O'Reilly Books
You are not wrong about the writing, which was weak during the parts of the novel that concerned groups of people on Earth or the rest of the crew in space interacting. They all talked with one voice and seemed like stock characters instead of real people to me.

However, the parts with Watley keeping his log on Mars seemed very true to me. Not the fictional occurrences but the tone and style seemed consistent with old-time sailors logs or autobiographies of people caught up in historical disasters.

Interestingly, I attended a book club that discussed this novel, split about 50/50 between engineers and non-engineers. All the engineers agreed that the Watley parts were great and the rest was not so good, but the non-engineers almost uniformly had the exact opposite opinion!

(The film is good)
Precisely. It is unnerving how many websites and corporations try to "play God", so to speak. Any instance of manipulation makes me feel used, and that lack of trust never really goes away.

I get that services want me to see stuff that is "most relevant" to me, but there is no room in relevance for serendipity, and it brings to mind the line from Equilibrium:

People have been talking about this issue for a while in the cycling community. That's why they're doing tests. I'm more than happy for them to do more tests, too, so... no, i'm not against that, at all.

What I don't like are 'accusations' that aren't aimed at anyone and so just kind of sit there.

Also, when you see that the Corriere della Sera barely covers bike racing, but then splashes out on big things like this, it's pretty grating. It's like bike racing is only important when we're talking about doping or cheating or something.
I think Mt Gox may have largely contributed to it and perhaps was even the main instigator, absolutely, but we need more evidence. I'm very interested to see what comes out of the Japanese criminal court case against Mark Karpeles, it may reveal a lot of important historical information here.

There's been some speculation that the Bitcoin Halvening may affect the price soon: http://www.thehalvening.com

"Especially post Obamacare, where so many are now insured and go the same doctors and hospitals everyone else goes to."

Have you ever had to deal with the healthcare system from the bottom? Even with "Obamacare" it's a nightmare. Unless you have fairly high quality health insurance, you tend to be limited in which doctors you can go to. So, no, the poor aren't suddenly going to the same doctors as the upper middle class. And the doctors that work with those cheaper insurance plans seem to, in my experience, have more patients and less time to spend with each. Quality of care is less, because it's an operation designed around high turnover rather than developing a relationship with each client, as is more common from a 'good' doctor, which tend to only accept better insurance plans.
That's really classy. Even if he had an assistant read your email and send that, he still had to care enough to set that all up.
It wouldn't be the same Tour De France if they used mopeds.
Don't forget the flip-side here, too. Some of the first books I read about the stock market weren't about the stock market at all, but about confidence scams, gambling and the inner workings of Wall Street.

Playing the stock market is, at its core, gambling, and any good gambling book will devote a large portion of itself to explaining the basic principle of money management: Of knowing when to cut your losses and how to prevent yourself from going on a huge tilt.

If you learn more about how confidence scams work you can better avoid pump and dump schemes, smooth talking investment "advice" people, and will be more wise about opportunities too good to be true.

Most of all you need to know how these securities are packaged, what the motivation of the players behind the scenes are, and how the market works internally. Be aware of the sharks in the water and what sorts of investments are being manipulated by things like high-frequency trading.

They say the final lesson is to be prepared to set fire to $10,000 in cash because no matter how good you are as an investor there will come a day where that much or more goes up in smoke based on market movements. If you can handle that, psychologically, you'll be fine. If that thought really freaks you out, better hold on to something more conservative.
Not only is it not enough time to extrapolate any real meaning, but to choose a period of 24 days that correspond to a period of diminishing interest in bitcoin and heightened interest in gold because of roiling in the broader markets and then to suggest bitcoin is now more stable than gold is reaching the heights of absurdity.

Which is more 'stable'?

Hi Brudgers,
I'm a co-founder of Nickel. Regarding disclosure: we will fully disclose to Users how the company works, how we are compensated, and provide full fee transparency and any potential conflicts of interest (like advice vs. the sale of products). Most planners and advisors also manage investments and/or sell insurance products: it's a matter of full disclosure. Customers will be receive a comprehensive financial plan (that can be saved and updated) for free. We believe that's valuable, but what's infinitely more valuable is implementing that plan, and that's where we'll deliver, because we plan to make it easy for Customers to do so. For example: telling a couple with two kids, a mortgage, and only one working spouse that they need life insurance is valuable, but making that insurance one click away is even better.

One might as well ask "Can Bitcoin prevent cancer?" based on "In the last 24 days people who own a lot of Bitcoins had fewer cases of cancer than the general population!" (Which I'd wager is probably true, but for reasons having nothing to with Bitcoin itself.)

I knew a bit about accounting when I started investing and didn't even realize how much it helped me until I heard other investors talk about companies in ways I knew were based on completely flawed assumptions.

I don't think accounting basics will help you much in terms of beating the markt. But they may help you not to be the one who funds other people's outperformance by making stupid mistakes.

Learn to read a balance sheet, an income statement and a cash flow statement. You'll easily find good enough sources for that by googling these terms.
