HOLY SHIT THIS CAME JUST IN TIME. THANK YOU.

Time to get my money back from this down payment I've been making, bwahahaha. My gf will love this, she's not fancy in the slightest. In fact, she'll be impressed that I got something that looks better than a diamond and a portion of the cost. You've improved everyone's life because of this site.

Hey, if you ever want to make this site fancier, I'll design/code it for free. My portfolio is https://dsgn.io and my other project live on https://the-inc.co.

Thanks again!

BBC is right in its analysis, this measure only targets 20% of Indian wealth. The richest 5% owning 80% of Indian wealth are at ease, only poor and middle class troubled. Moreover this 20% money will be available to them as cheap loans. The total money owed by big corporates in India is way bigger then this parallel black money. Also the person Rajan who was planning to reign this loans is forced out of office.
Modi is Indian version of Donald trump building Great Wall across India against corruption in media.
A normal Indian will never know that black money outside of India far outweigh anything in Indian homes.
Exactly this. We have revenues and repeat users and yet, we got rejected everywhere.

Arrival Screenwriter Eric Heisserer on Adapting Ted Chiang's Story of Your Life
Speaking as an extremely pro-Capitalist person, this is the kind of area where Government interventions are required. Capitalism and fair markets require a few basic things:

- Informed consumers (most consumers of healthcare either don't know enough about it to make any solid judgement)
- Competition (most hospitals in any given area are grouped together and rarely compete, if at all)
- Choice (if you're in an ambulance, you can't exactly instruct the EMTs to take you to 'the better hospital'), plus when it comes to niche treatments like chemo, there often aren't any choices, just the closest one to you that offers the service you need.

And again as a Capitalist: You take a high value, required product, mix with a group of consumers who don't have a choice whether or not to buy, and a business minded person with no ethical compass whatsoever and you'll have record profits and screwed customers. Simple as that.

I experienced the same with an aluminium Apple keyboard connected to a non-Apple PC; small electric shocks now and then when I touched the aluminium. I contacted Apple about it and they said it was impossible .. Luckily I had purchased the keyboard online and I could still return it.
I would recommend using QtCreator if you want to do just pure C++ work done. It has less focus on app development and it has way better highlighting (semantic highlighting thanks to clang), refactoring and debugging.

Still dont have offer from ruby, but have from python and python is pressing me to accept so i have 1-2 hours. Friends at python company, so i know good crew, but more chill. Ruby team is 4 ppl and python is big company and i dont know if ruby team is good, but more money as junior.

I agree with this. Obamacare should have created rules for a national minimum policy, largely targeted at catastrophic incidents. Remove the ability of employers to buy coverage for their employees (a holdover from WWII staffing shortages) and let be more open and market driven.

We also need to reform pharma. When even K-mart has a pharmacy it shows how much money could be removed there.

Lastly, we need to change our perspective about aging. If you live long enough, you will (most likely) get cancer. This is how the body works, not specifically a "disease". We need to stop paying $1M for the 75 year old who gets brain cancer so that they can live for 2 extra months. Feel free to spend your own money but Medicare won't. They already have laws like this in France, etc.

I have heard of stories of people who move deep into the woods, disappearing from standard society, and actually successfully manage to live completely off the land. So, technically, this would certainly be possible.

Few people are willing to do pursue things on this level however. When more than one person gets involved, politics can easily enter the equation.

Personally, I find the libertarian philosophy a bit naive for that reason. The natural state of humanity is tribal in nature. "No rules" is a bit of a fantasy; eventually, some foundation will have to be established. Inevitably, people will disagree on this foundation.

Technical achievements aside (the blockchain will live on), Bitcoin actually is a great example of how something with somewhat idealistic libertarian underpinnings ended up turning into the usual tribal politics in the end.

It's silly for AMD to say that nVidia doesn't care about VR. By the same token AMD obviously cares about HPC, even when they say they're "all in" on VR in some press release.

They're both big companies that put lots of effort & money into many things simultaneously.

Not to mention that today is the day that AMD announced public availability of CUDA for their platform.

If you are starting I think it really doesn't matter, I like Ruby and did for a long time, but if you like the Python company and you say is bigger and you have friends there, then you should probably go for that offer. Plus Python is a nice language to learn too.

This is very important: Money should not be your priority at this stage, go for the company where you think you can learn the most, later you can find a better job or even consult, as you'll gain a lot of experience.

Good luck!

That's entirely different question, and doesn't really have much in common with iocage/iocell. I, for example, have every single thing I host automated in a way where it doesn't matter wether it runs in jail provided by iocage, jail manually built, vm in AWS or a physical machine. This way, my migration path would be: wipe existing jails, create new ones with new tool, launch automation, done. You, however, might need entirely different approach, based on how your environment/setup looks like right now. One very primitive way would be to simply archive (rsync, tar, whatever else) jail contents and deploy it in jails created with new tool.
Yes and no:)

Currently and generally a single jurisdiction doesn't allow for competing courts.

In libertarian land everyone has (or is?) his own "jurisdiction" for his private property (and there is no public property). All other courts are defined in contracts.

Note the latter is the generalization of the former where entering other people's property entails an implicit agreement to the owner's terms (and jurisdiction if you will.)

So everyone can define his own abortion/marihuana/uber free zone at will and/or just rule out the public completely.

Often there is a misunderstanding that this entails a "free for all" but municipalities in today's sense would still exist and have their own laws / courts and the streets there would probably belong to a company consisting of a number of the municipality's inhabitants.

This doesn't mean that there is only one such company, so you can "choose your court" by walking the streets of company A and avoiding the streets of company B. Or you dislike them both and just move to some other town a few kms away.

I've had completely the opposite experience. Have worked on several medium-to-very large Xamarin projects (4 developers up to 60 developers) and rarely have I seen code sharing drop below 50%, with the sweet spot being around 60%.

2 years ago, Xamarin was buggy as hell. Today, (IMHO) it's quite stable.

So we try to remove whatever it was that caused the crime. The inmate himself or herself must be willing to change but our method has been very effective. Over the last 10 years, our work has improved more and more.

Well, in this case, it's not deprecated. It's deprecated by one computer manufacturer. There are more than enough other computer companies still willing to sell you a keyboard layout like the one you've been used to for the last 30+ years.
I really don't understand how this is any different from regular trading. I've been able to pay people by the hour for jobs for a long time. I've been able to find small flatshares (for short periods too) in the past.

AirBNB are different, but the way I think that they're different is not what most people think. The thing they solved which was a real problem was insurance. Sure, there's a site for booking, some scheduling and payment transfer but they're not really key. It's the fact I can go to someone's house and say "Someone has checked my identity and here's a guarantee that if I break/steal things you'll get reimbursed" that smooths over the risks.

>> "you deserve the consequences" [...] Do you think this is a reasonable interpretation of what you said? That's how I read it, and squares with how I read lolc as interpreting what you said as well

I did not said that anyone deserves an inhumant treatment like this. If you rephrase what I said and doing so it gets "pretty close to" or "reasonable interpreted as" something really stupid, that is not my fault. Both of us are better off if you just stop rephrasing my sentences, don't you think?

That's quite an exaggerated presumption. Office for mac has been around for years. VSC will more than likely give sublime a run for its money as they are very similar on the Mac platform. Just because microsoft ports VS, it doesn't reveal anything other than giving developers that prefer Macs another IDE choice. You can get a MBP without function keys and just because Apple has decided evolve their approach to the keyboard, it doesn't mean anything beyond that. It's very interesting that this has become such a hot topic in the dev community. Apple isn't abandoning devs, pure and simple.
It depends. I've been pretty happy with Xamarin for what I'm doing (a game [0]).

If you are using basic Xamarin then you will end up writing separate UI code for each platform, but you can still share business logic if you architect if well. Xamarin.Forms is different and lets you share the UI too.

Even with Forms, you will always have some platform specific code, but this is normally small. For example, some implementation details when using SQLite.

People know that they can die a horribly painful death from using a car, but they still drive. They do so not by making an informed risk/benefit analysis, they do by simply assuming that it won't happen to them. Same for crime and getting caught. We are not able to rationally deal with big risks, we only know the extremes of letting them completely dominate our decisions (e.g. people who will never use a bike in traffic, or only with a lucky charm on their head) or pretending that they don't exist.

Knowing of consequences does not imply being aware of them.
