Gerald Ratner, CEO of the Ratner Group, becoming famous for the "Ratner Effect" which destroyed the group and his career. They had 1,000+ stores and multiple brands in UK and US.

He gave a speech to the IoD London in 91 that included "How can you sell this for such a low price?", I say, "because it's total crap."

Obvious and true, but it took £500m off the group share price overnight and a year later, due to a consumer boycott, they were in the process of closing 300+ stores. He was fired by the chairman he recruited in late 92, and the remnants of the group changed name to start rebuilding.

Anecdotally, this slowness/lethargy/lack of focus is one of the two reasons I quit smoking weed years ago.

The other reason being the gradually mounting paranoia eventually culminating in what I can only describe as a paranoid anxiety attack.

The day that happened I quit.

I'm pro-legalisation but I abused it and ruined it for myself. Many others do too, all the while espousing its complete lack of drawbacks, which I find irritating.
Thing is, tax loopholes are usually due to a confluence of interacting incentives.

For example, governments often want to encourage innovation. That can mean giving tax breaks to income from IP. It can also mean creating a loophole if you structure the company such that profits get directed towards a holder of the IP.

IMO it's ok for governments to use tax policy to encourage some things and discourage others. Not all companies will be able to take advantage of such policies, by their very nature; some companies do less of the desireable things, others more. So I don't see this as a black and white issue.

One thing for sure, it's definitely an encroachment on Ireland's sovereignty with respect to tax. I don't expect the judgement to stand as is on appeal. If it does, the EU will risk further fracture. If the biggest countries in the EU use EU policy to attack smaller countries' tax policies, the club will start looking less appealing by the day.

untransferable bonds

There's such a thing???

Sure enough, found with Google, and evidently they've been doing this for a couple of years: https://solarbonds.solarcity.com/customer-agreement/

The Solar Bonds I purchase may not be listed or traded on any secondary market or exchange, and even if they are, they may not be actively traded. As a result, I should assume that I may have to hold the Solar Bonds until maturity. Also, because I am purchasing the Solar Bonds directly rather than through a broker or other financial intermediary, it may be more difficult for me to sell my Solar Bonds, even if a trading market is or becomes available.

I suppose if you view them as you should any crowdfunded thing, don't expect anything back, but you're hoping to help something you believe in, that's OK, but....

so how is it self-hosted if its not open-source? (site is down right now) how is it packaged? what platforms does it run on?
Yes. But, you typically have to use a theorem prover to build up static checking for functions, and then enforce proof obligations on callers to said functions. If done in a system like Coq or Isabelle, the proof obligations become a parallel markup to C that is used in conjunction with the source code to enforce policies. Bounds checking is one policy -- and a relatively easy one to implement at that -- and other policies can be stacked.

Take a look at VST for an example already in the wild. I'm currently working on a somewhat different approach that does not have the severe license restrictions that CompCert has.

If you think this is overstepping, I'm sure you've got reasons like "there's no EU law against it"; but turns out there is EU law against these subsidies. That's why I don't see it as overstepping, as long as the process guarantees the right of the parts to defend themselves in court.

Are you talking about Knight Capital? A friend of mine worked for them when this went down. They were on holiday and obviously cut that short pretty much immediately.

True story-On her fortieth birthday, Anita goes to her pastor for counsel.

Anita-Pastor I have always wanted to become a nurse but I never had the money to pay for school until now.

Pastor-Praise God that the money has come. What is stopping you now?

Anita-well…hmm.. you see, I just turned 40. By the time I’m done with the course I’ll be 44 years old. 4 years is a long time.

Pastor smiles and wonders if he should give her a holy slap…but he restrains himself.

Pastor-Anita, if you don’t take the course, how old will you be in 4 years?

Anita- 44

Pastor- You can either turn 44 with a Nursing degree or 44 without one. Which would you prefer?

Lesson-many people focus on the price they have to pay or how long something will take to accomplish.
What's more important is the prize and return on investment.

I always ask my students and clients:
Where will you be in 4 years?

What price do you have to pay for your startup to grow 10x in the next 3 years?

What can you invest in today that will make you 10 times better in the next 12 months?

Usually you'll see someone release site data, such as a database dump, via sites like pastebin. Either that or the release is zipped and hosted somewhere for download.

Also, we are probably going to implement specific pages that allow anyone to delist their domain and/or email address from our service.

> The installers are amazing. The initial installation takes like five minutes. Hit [Enter] to the defaults, make your username and password, and it's ready to go.

I love OpenBSD, but this is blatantly false. The installer is 20 years behind any other major OS. The only installation that is really supported is on a dedicated machine, overwriting everything in the drive. And in true OpenBSD fashion, it'll do it without prompting you twice. OpenBSD's fdisk is spartan at best.

Also for ideological reasons (that I share) the installation media does not include firmware. Lots of video and network cards needs firmware to work, so make sure you download a copy of any required firmware to a USB stick beforehand.

I agree with all you have written but I do not think the woes of Nokia need be permanent. Arguably, Nokia possessed a far larger and more geographically dispersed fanbase than Apple and one comparable only to Blackberry. Those fans are still alive and kicking.

I am not by any means a product development expert but I consider Nokia to have made three mistakes (atop everything else the pundits divine):

1. Not creating a quality smartphone for the mass market

2. Selling the brand to Microsoft (which proceeded to decimate its value with its hideous windows OS)

3. Not trying again.

The battle for market share by smartphone makers in my opinion represents skirmishes in the larger war for lebensraum in a connected future; and that is not over by any means.
The self-reported amount of wisdom that 152 people in Germany displayed over nine days showed higher variation between events than between people.

Hypothesis: People who are more wise have higher standards for their own behavior, and self-report lower. People who are less wise have lower standards for their own behavior, and self-report higher.

Hypothesis: The contextual importance of wisdom varies, and some people are better at acting more wisely at the more important times. For example, there is little harm in acting like a child when you are ordering food, but much harm in acting like a child when raising one.

Transistor switching time is limited mostly by electrical capacity which is determined by the permittivity of the material the transistor is made from. And permittivity and permeablity are the only things determining the speed of light in a material. So saying that speed of light is the limiting factor of transistor switching time is valid.

About the same as you debug an issue from having just a tracelog. The rocket and pad equipment have quite a few sensors that record information, so you have quite a lot of data afterwards to spot anomalies (you could also compare to previous successful launches / static fires to spot them). Admittedly, that doesn't really explain how they figure out some stuff, e.g. with CRS-7 the problem was with a strut holding a high-pressure helium vessel in the second stage. They likely would have seen the overpressurization of the tank and there are not many sources for that pressure, but pinpointing it to a piece that doesn't even exist anymore ... beats me.

What kind of backup/restore capabilities does this have? If I were in the market for this, that'd be one of my primary concerns in deciding between self-hosted vs. cloud. Ideally one atomic operation to back up all my data, and another single operation to restore, such that I could install Duet on a new host, restore the backup, and be back on my feet.

Also: how easy is this for non-technical users to install? It might be worth your time to make guides for one or more specific hosting companies, taking them through the process to purchase hosting, domain name, etc.
