That is an entirely subjective belief. You and I might hold that opinion, but the majority of people in the world do not. For them, the "truth" about the meaning of life is externally imposed and exists outside any one person's opinion.

I'd like to sell my ThemeForest business. What 's the best way?
Currently generating about $24-25k per month but depending on what month, the income increases to 30k. About $165k since January to date. This is after Envato commission. There is another theme in the queue, which should increase the earnings a lot more (hoping to see $35k/month).

There is not much expense, support is outsourced ($3000/m) and hosting is WPEngine ($100/m).

Anyone interested?

I'm sorry to say but you must be delusional. Can you list the these `aggressive` breaking changes? There were only 7 releases since go1 and I fail to find any breaking change in the language specification. On the other side each Rust release has a fat list with "BREAKING CHANGES". Many Rust packages only work with specific Rust versions(i.e. nightly). The rust ecosystem(std lib, tools etc) is also way behind Go in terms of stability. Why do you need rustup if Rust is so backward compatible? I'm not saying that Go is a better language than Rust but the its ecosystem and dev experience is definitely superior.
Yes, it tries to be useful for all types of software. Iterative/incremental is covered in chapter 7 under "gradual development." CI/CD under Construction and Quality.

Also, to help understand the new, it helps to know the "old." At least that's what I thought. A number of people are mentioning it, so perhaps I shouldn't have ordered it that way.

I suspect the "it is strange, isn't it" portion of the comment was meant to be a separate idea and the commenter just failed to make it a separate paragraph.

It (the strangeness) is referring to a separate idea in my post, which was the crime level in Washington DC, not the scaling.
I'm glad to see a startup working to minimize fees in a 401(k) plan. I'm a bit confused by what I see on https://www.guideline.com/pricing, though.

I didn't suggest any such thing, nor am I excusing Russia's actions in the least bit.

The original comment seemed to think that the US wasn't already involved in this type of snooping and aggressive actions towards people's privacy, and that such actions would be a poison to tech - if anything, tech and government have happily crawled into bed with one another in the US, with only a few important cases where there has been resistance.

So I responded to point out that the US has very little to learn from Russia - if the lesson is supposed to be trampling privacy and freedom via technology is going to hamper tech-businesses, then I really don't think the US learned it during any of the times it did exactly that. I don't think it learned it when the EU did it, and I don't think they're going to learn it from a VPN provider's servers being seized in Russia. The US heard the lesson long ago, and just didn't care.

Putin having skeletons in his closet doesn't really change any of that.
Yep, that's about right. This app is shit on iOS. I thought the App Store was supposed to have a quality review process, but this thing crashes all the time.
You are correct. It might be preferable to amend the tax code to only tax the increase in value of shares purchased under a dividend reinvestment plan rather than the reinvested dividends themselves, as a way to discourage the buyback workaround.

After all, I would be more comfortable with more shares at a lower valuation than fewer shares at a higher valuation, since Mr Market is an inconsistent figure and I would stand to gain more (from reinvested dividends) if the stock rises than lose (with buyback-inflated shares) if it falls.
They don't find it works then share. They are randomly sharing, and sometimes it works. Bacterial sex.
Wait, really? Guideline's only revenue is the $500 setup (like the custodian cost is this mostly going directly to expenses?) and the $8/employee per month?

That seems like a dangerously small SAM to me. Any large employer will want to negotiate the $8/employee. And there are only so many small employees in the US. How does this work out?
Its too bad young people don't negotiate more. When your next salary is anchored so heavily on your current salary, a little negotiation early can have such an impact on lifetime earnings.

There's tremendous political problems with just "not using them" - we've done shelving before, usually with drugs that have unfavorable characteristics. Colistin is one example, it was shelved because it's fairly nephrotoxic, and today it's one of the last-resort antibiotics.

The problem is China loves to pump their livestock full of it to boost production, and now we're starting to see bacteria strains that are resistant to it.

http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2015/11/21/mcr-gene-...

The WHO simply do not have any teeth to enforce shelving, and it's probably going to take a major health crisis before it's even on the table.
>Go has made changes post-1.0 that were more aggressive
>than anything Rust has done, such as changing the size of int.

Changing the size of int shouldn't be a breaking change in Go since pointer arithmetic isn't allowed and everyone should use fixed-size variables when you're relying on this behavior.

Even if this isn't true, Go's release note says:

>The language allows the implementation to choose whether
>the int type and uint types are 32 or 64 bits. [1]

The only thing that changed was the implementation, not the language.

[1] https://golang.org/doc/go1.1#int
Yes, it is often (mostly?) true, but not always. In the book I've tried to not give the idea there is only one way to do things. Even so, a few have commented that they've got that impression.

Also, from a practical standpoint, both the design and construction chapters are huge, so combining them doesn't seem to be a good idea. Perhaps I could add your warning though, if you don't mind me quoting you.
I was struggling to think of how buying back stocks could fail to increase the value of the remaining shares. It would have to be that the cash was valued the same whether inside or outside the stock. Wouldn't paying massive dividends then decrease the value of the stock?

Shouldn't we also be asking why unusually (I'm guessing this is unusual) so many companies are earning so much money yet see few worthwhile investment opportunities for the future of the company?
It's also a leap to say the world would be a better place. One person's version of rationality can be quite different to another's. Imagine of someone feels that the only rational thing for them to do is to do something "normally rational" people would find irrational- like kill your neighbour's dog because it's bark is keeping you up at night, but social pressures, anxiety and fear actually keep them in check from the perspective of the whole population.

Heroin (and the fact that it's a scarce commodity due to legislation first world countries) has the self-harm potential (needles can be used by addicts so many times they actually snap/collapsed veins/'cotton fever') along with social negatives (shared needles=>increased rates of transmittance of hep C and other maladies, petty crime, prostitution (which is a-okay by me if regulated, but addicts who resort to sex working as a means to sustain their habit often are subjected to violent situations) organized crime/gang warfare due to the market effects of prohibition effectively making powdered heroin high purity being incredibly valuable in a fairly transportable form). Nasal consumption can lead to deviated septums, decreased nasal mucosa production, etc (not limited to heroin, habitual insufflation of cocaine exhibits the same effects). Smoking heroin off foil surely can't be good for ones lungs, though I'm not sure specifically what pulmonary effects it would yield.

As long as electricity and the components/knowledge is commonly available, those sociological byproducts are more or less eliminated (though the self-injurious effects have analogous deleterious effects one could argue). Unlike heroin, where the side-effects are well-known (about two hundred years of opium usage in the west, ranging from laudanum in the 19th century among primarily the affluent women of society to Purdue's OxyContin(tm)). We know how mu-opioids are structured molecularly, the pharmacological behavior occurs as they bind to (primarily) mu-opioid receptors in the brain, etc). tDCS main risk factor is (as stated in the article) the fact that it's a fairly new science. Even if properly administered by trained neuroscientists/neurologists/technicians within the field, we're not aware of the long-term 10 year side-effects. The risks increase dramatically if an average Joe is half-informed and tries to administer (or modify) tDCS themselves.

Thanks for the options. can you expand on why CTEs are a postgres optimization fence?

as for 4: I am aware of the named subselect but once you add a few of those to the main select statement you start to get into unreadable territory.

back to CTEs, it seems like it should be an easy substitution problem for the postgres query planner. I am not a DB developer so I am probably not aware of all the issues. The CTE seems like the thing I was trying to describe though. Do you think that the optimizations would be more possible with begin and end scopes? It seems like they are part of the same select statement so i doubt scopes would help it.
For now Mist requires a full blockchain but we already started testing a light-client on the node that would avoid that.

Not all app need to show ether to the user, but that is the currency used to pay miners for transaction fees. There are ways in which the app developer can try to abstract the concept of ether using other currency, or even subsidising the users by paying their cost via other means (like what digix gold does).

Ether is not used as a reward for hosting the app, but for changing saving data and changing states on the blockchain. We will have a P2P solution where users are paid to host actual application files.
Uhm... it is meant to be? Oracle and Teradata did the same thing. They paid for it.

Like Hitchen's Razor?
Very informative, but Minsky was not at the debate, it was Michie, Gregory, & McCarthy.

The Lighthill report destroyed the UK's lead in AI at Edinburgh.

Edinburgh's AI lab, founded by Donald Michie, a wartime colleague of Turings & Richard Gregory a vision & theory of mind expert.

Edinburgh had a Robot Arm that could assemble various wooden toys from randomly scattered blocks using vision & planning.

Edinburgh had produced POPLOG, a widely used European LISP (with less brackets :) )

Michie was a proponent of Machine Intelligence, his "trial and error" BOXES algorithm could learn to balance a pole - everywhere else used hand engineered Symbolic GOFAI.

Michie BOXES enabled learning robots that anticipated neural nets & SGD using reinforcement learning.

Edinburgh's unique vision was world leading at the time. Sadly European industry followed Lighthill's lead - the 1st AI winter.

Lighthill was a pure mathematician and not well qualified to vet AI, his criticisms proved wrong in hindsight - Edinburgh had automation, vision & learning on a PDP-11.

Pariah in Europe, Donald Michie went on to help develop Japanese robotic assembly lines and use BOXES for factory & satellite control. Here he laments : [18:24] http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0306rt1/micro-live-ser...
To some degree yes, but truthfully, I don't think the "IHOP Breakfast" for lack of a better term is unique to non-farmers. My grandparents were farmers, their neighbors are farmers, their parents were farmers, and they grew up on short-stacks, sausage, oatmeal, the works.

I never suggested that the IHOP breakfast is the only breakfast Americans eat, but I do posit if you grab a person on the street and ask them what is "breakfast food", you'll hear the IHOP breakfast in some way

Maybe just do something destructive. Just take a Sharpie permanent marker and write "ROYAL LIBRARY" on the bottom plane of the book pages.

Granted, that's a flippant proposal. And it wouldn't work on certain books, where the edges of the pages are gilded. (I wonder if many/most books from those days had gilded edges?)

The Sharpie is just one idea. I'm sure there are much more clever, simple, obvious permanent methods that could be used in appropriate circumstances. The main point is to permanently and clearly mark the entire book.

Yes I know this would destroy the "value" of the book in many people's eyes. But I'd like to ask the Royal Library this question:

Would you rather have in your possession the Louvain
edition of Thomas More's Utopia, with "ROYAL LIBRARY"
written in Sharpie on the bottom, or would you rather
that the book had been sold at Christie's for 140,000
GBP, and you have nothing?

Arguably it can be better than blocking threads, which can waste precious time for synchronization. But if you design your code with precise timings, you can ensure that the different processors will complete their work and communicate their data at a precise time, thus saving code and time.

Harder to program of course.

Maybe it's because we are too slow, too methodical, not well informed on what's new or recently hyped. Maybe we are more strict, more ambivalent (seeing everything as trade offs), or maybe we are just not fun. Who knows? But, it's incredibly frustrating to continuously fix poorly developed systems.

An interesting delve into some of the deeper nuances of the Business Judgment Rule: http://scholarship.law.wm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=10...

In the article, Nader is objecting to the extraction of wealth by management that doesn’t know how or want to deploy it to increase the value of the company and its stakeholders. The money flows from consumers, taxpayers (corporate welfare) and from the sacrifices of workers whose needs and increased productivity could be rewarded with better pay and pensions.

So the key distinction (at least in my mind) is the inclusion of stakeholders vs. just shareholders.

Any company that wants to change the world should include a pledge of duty to stakeholders (the "Corporate Social Responsibility" Model), as well as to shareholders. As an investor, I'm more apt to invest in a company that acknowledges it is a part of the society that enables it to profit.

Granted, companies that do this are less likely to be able to hide behind the Business Judgment Rule; but then again if you're an investor that's probably exactly what you want.
Yes but this may result in stolen books being entirely defaced (bindings removed; plates removed) by thieves even if they sell for a lesser value. Its already common to remove pages from illustrated encyclopedias and sell the plates individually in antique shops, destroying the book entirely.
