For the "we debited your account" terminology to be correct, you must consider it from the perspective of the other party.

For example, suppose you go into the bank and withdraw $10 and they charge a $1 fee. The transaction looks like this:

* Credits: $1 (bank income), $10 (bank assets)

* Debit: $11 (customer liability)

So when you get your account statement, it will say "$11 debit", because from their perspective, it was a debit, i.e., their liability went down. If that doesn't make sense, think about how you pay your own credit card bill (a liability): you take money from (credit) your checking account and send it (debit) to your creditor.
The irrational part of this is that the 'wrench system' is actually sized in 32nds of an inch, and thus would be much easier to comprehend with 'improper fractions'.

4/32, 5/32, 6/32, 8/32 ... etc
So the basic equation is "assets = capital + liabilities".

Capital+liabilities explain how your assets are "covered". Either you owe someone for the assets (liabilities), or you own the assets yourself (capital).

Sometimes it's easier to think of this as

"assets - liabilities = capital".

I.e. whatever is left after considering what you owe, you own.

If you have some cash (an asset), then you need to also list it either as a liability or capital, simply because you must always be able to answer "where did this cash from? did we borrow it (liability), or do we own it (capital)?"
I've heard a lot about Vue.js lately, apparently it's even better. But yeah, they're just small view libraries. If you want something that does a lot more, then you should check out Ember.
MS open sourced ChakraCore (the core of the Chakra JavaScript engine). EdgeHTML is still closed to the best of my knowledge.
Also worth checking out is http://redash.io for this kind of stuff - fairly new but developing quickly and very easy to hack on/add stuff. Good docs, easy to deploy and has some nice auto-update reports bits. We use that quite heavily. Its open source/free to use but also comes with paid cloudy plans.

> Hyperloop was originally an idea from Tesla's boss and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who conceived the technical details of the transport system but left it to commercial firms to make the vision a reality.

The BBC needs to get their facts straight. Elon Musk did not conceive the Hyperloop. This concept has been around for much longer. The trademarked name Hyperloop is what's generally known as a vactrain and the idea has been around for at least 100 years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vactrain
But they are illegal to use for any monetary transaction. I read it like that.

My beef with Julia when I last tried it out was the lack of flexibility within the 'data munging' sphere. The assumption appeared to be that all of your data would come in to as UTF-8, whereas in my org we need strong support for Latin1/cp1252, and UTF-16LE BOM. Is this something that has changed recently, or are these traders are economists just working with more sane data?

It's tough to balance, I'm often overwhelmed by always wondering how others are feeling and trying to decipher their behaviour.
I have some memories from first grade in a California public school (in Santa Cruz) of "finding a number we can put in place of x so that x + 2 = 4" and how "at some point you will learn how to deal with x + 4 = 2". In 3rd grade we explored prime factorizations, and I also remember an emphasis on clearing out greatest common divisors for fractions -- so, while it didn't encourage thinking of fractions as equivalence classes, it at least encouraged comparing things by canonical forms. I even remember around then an introduction to base four representations, probably to illustrate the "carry the ten" when adding.

My experience, in contrast to yours, was well-meaning teachers drilling the algorithms while hinting at some underlying structure. I suppose it was enough inspiration to figure out what math was about, and I eventually found myself in a math PhD program. (Despite the fact I had a hard time remembering the so-called "math facts." During competitions, I would try to calculate, slowly, something like 7 x 9 using something like (8 - 1) x (8 + 1) = 8 x 8 + 8 - 8 - 1, since the only "facts" I ever remembered were multiples of five, 6 x 8 and 8 x 8. Those competitions did make me think I was a bit bad at math!)

Though, let me share my story about fractions. In fifth grade, I got a day planner because the school pushed for everyone to get one, and in the front leaves there were various references, like a periodic table, lists of equations, etc., and one which caught my eye was "a/b + c/d = (ad+bc)/bd". For some reason I thought "oh, that is what fractions are" and I tried to explain to a teacher how this defines fraction addition, how finding a common denominator is just a way to calculate this, but instead I was told I was incorrect, and you just find common denominators. I can't say I didn't feel somewhat vindicated when I learned, much later, about the Grothendieck construction.

I also remember trying to find a formula for triangular numbers in sixth grade, and I will never forget the look of horror on my "home-room" teacher's face as she backed away while I explained what I was trying to do.

A population density overlay would have been helpful as would a voting trend by state or even by municipality or district to understand if there are any statistically relevant discrepancies. That said, I suspect the point of this tool is to lower the barriers to voting to allow everyone's vote to be collected.
Definitely possible. Though I'm not sure why those firms wouldn't switch to a more mainstream stack. Most talented quants I've met prefer to code in Matlab, R, and Python, C++. VBA is of course inescapable in the life of a financier.

When competing for talent and desperate for maintainability, companies are unlikely to introduce tools that are not the industry standard.
The current political crisis has been a productivity drain for me since 2008, with Tea Parties to attend, three grueling Presidential campaigns, two midterms, and all the primaries. And the shooting hasn't even started yet! I'm afraid all we'll be able to say at the end of today is "it's the end of the beginning".
I'm not sure why you're pretending that it should be someone else's job to prove the point you're trying to make. You threw up a graph which looks identical to a population-density graph and are pretending you gave us evidence of your assertion.

I think reddit has a very valuable , but little used content stream: the "friends" section, because some users usually contribute very high quality content , in specific sub reddits, but not in others.

And just enabling collecting such friends, sharing them amongst people, filtering some sub reddits, or maybe by minimum relative karma,etc and building a content feed seems very useful.

and if that feed was indexable by Google - even more useful.

What do you think ?

Or maybe this is just their best effort at hitting fleet-average CO2 emissions goals without bolstering EV numbers by giving them away for free. It looks like cheating, but if this gets any kind of traction (and enable more non-poverty-driven carlessness), it will be a much better result for the environment than selling more, but slightly cleaner cars would have been.

Creative bookkeeping by selling to their own rental subsidies is nothing new in the car industry. The BMW carsharing fleets improve on that by not only creating favorable numbers, but also making them take part in a new market that might well be a significant part in future of car usage.
Assange can publish whatever the fuck he wants, but this claim is truly beyond arrogant: "This is why, irrespective of the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential election, the real victor is the US public which is better informed as a result of our work."

What an arrogant asshole! I supported his work in the past and his stay at the embassy to avoid what are most likely trumped up charges, but to claim that you have the right to mess with another country's election and that, regardless of the outcome, this messing with the election is for the good of that country's people is absolutely fucking insane. How is this any different from what the government already does, manipulating foreign elections and leader? Is Wikileaks a press organization or a covert, non-state actor? I just lost all respect for the man and his organization. His 'principles' may be real or they may be made up to hide his true motives. I don't care. Such arrogance is disgusting.
>It would be unconscionable for WikiLeaks to withhold such an archive from the public during an election.

But, we will withhold it until weeks before the elections.
You don't need a PE to call yourself an "engineer". Every working engineer calls himself an "engineer" on his resume. What you people are forgetting is the Industrial Exemption. Companies are allowed to call their employees engineers and use that word in their job titles because of the exemption.

The PE thing really only applies to stuff like civil engineering projects.
Perhaps, the sea poses its own set of challenges. Given sufficient funds, anyone can buy a boat but deriving useful benefit from seafaring is another story. If you were to explore the 'unused' or currently unexploited aspects of the ocean it would require similar investments in research, life support, materials, construction, and a host of other areas that also need to be tackled for space colonisation and exploration.

Say you wanted to create a city sized operation/colony. If we start by comparing to vessels and platforms already in operation we see that the price tag for such can vary between $250 million and >$1 billion for both cruise ships and oil platforms. Those costs are for established technologies with existing production infrastructure and with the assumption of constant resupply and a market for the goods and services they produce. If you were to break ground on a completely new area the costs would be much, much higher.

There's also the question of what special benefit we gain from moving an operation to the ocean when compared to doing something similar on land. Both are still on Earth with all its pros and cons but the ocean simply multiplies the engineering challenges. You could ask the same question of space but the difference is that a space based facility has several major advantages that go hand in hand with the challenges it presents. Namely, greatly reduced gravity, vast amounts of 'rare' elements, the potential to move large quantities of material with a comparatively small vehicle/engine, and the prestige that comes with a new frontier.

Finally, doing one does not necessarily mean we neglect the other. There are many areas where advances in one could benefit the other and there are proposals for systems that would see a great deal of overlap between the two, such as the Sea Dragon.[0]

People really love it because they can do business analysis without hiring programmers or becoming them. And spreadsheets are a great model for a constrained set of problems.

However, it's not all sweetness and light. Excel even gets some basic calculations wrong - and those ignorant of its quirks happily propagate those errors. More problematically, it can easily be pushed to the degree that your modeling is really beyond the tool or spreadsheet's design strengths without knowing it. And debugging is a pain in the ass. As a result lots of erroneous outputs get presented as meaninful.

In case of Microsoft, you don't even have to be very imaginative: how much of the stack currently in use by .Net developers on Windows is completely open? How important and hard to replace are the parts that aren't?

And how much of a difference would it make in the end to have had Core open source in the past, when the new and closed version is the only one that works with those billions of Windows10 tablets and those popular Azure services that everyone needs for their startup?
"Trump and Cruz have said this. Are they lying?"

Are they politicians?

More seriously: Obama said a lot of things that didn't come to pass. Was he lying? Clinton has said a lot of things on the campaign trail: is she telling the truth on everything?

How much is truth, and how much is pandering to the target audience? Are candidates from the different parties held by a different standard in this regard?
No, it is not possible for your vote to be "wiped out." If you cast a ballot it will be counted. It's frankly a bit dangerous to imply otherwise.

As it says in the bit of article you quoted, states can use these systems to find people who are "eligible to be purged from the rolls." This is bad. Especially when it disproportionately affects certain populations of people.

But if you show up on election day and you've been purged from the rolls, election officials are required by law to provide you with a provisional ballot.
And one part that is often forgotten: How to authenticate the other side.

Without authentication asymmetric encryption is still useless, because someone could man-in-the-middle your key exchange, swap out the public key that is sent both ways and make either side think they now have a secure channel with each other while in reality they have a secure channel with the man in the middle.

So the challenge is that they'll need some equivalent of what in the HTTPS world would be a Certificate Authority. For which you'll have the same kind of update/upgrade path questions that you very rightfully ask for the key lengths.

There's a difference between celebrity and accomplishment. I'm claiming that to an extent they squandered their gifts and could have accomplished more of depth and value. John von Neumann is another example (too social; spread too thin).

It's understood that social people are people who enjoy socialising and have lots of friends. But I would say that appearances are deceptive and they're actually not close to any of them. This isn't an accident because what they're really seeking is to allay their secret fear by gaining fame and/or power. Which is just a mistake.

It's not wrong to have friends and to like them, even if only to honour the past, or because business demands it. But progress lies in a different (inner) direction.

There is a well-worn joke in the economics profession that involves two economists – one young and one old – walking down the street together. The young economist looks down and sees a $20 bill on the street and says, “Hey, look, a twenty-dollar bill!” Without even looking, his older and wiser colleague replies, “Nonsense. If there had been a twenty-dollar bill lying on the street, someone would have already picked it up by now.” (from [0], but many retellings can be found on the Web)

I think you are right that Slava has exaggerated the truth in order to make his point -- as economists often do when talking about the efficiency of markets. Any engineer knows that nothing is perfectly efficient; yet markets do tend to be very efficient, and get more efficient the more money flows through them, and that fact deserves respect and consideration.

And what Slava is saying is something I've definitely observed over the years: a lot of successful businesses are created when changes in the environment open up new opportunities. Sometimes it takes a few tries before someone figures out the right formula -- there were several search engines around before Google appeared, for example, but they're mostly long-forgotten -- but whenever a major opportunity opens up, sooner or later a business will find a way to address it.

So I think paying attention to shifts in both technology and consumer behavior can be valuable for would-be entrepreneurs.

Yes. But since they delivered the rent in cash, it was not possible to prove that the tenants had changed even though we knew they had.

For us, it was not sustainable financially because we didn't have the resources or the will to challenge the "vacancy control." I'm sure the new owner solved the problem or converted it to a TIC.

I like the Ellis Act and TIC concept since it makes more people property owners, and owners will maintain the property better than tenants or absentee landlords.

OMG I sound like a Republican even though I am quite the progressive.

I'm currently reading The Confusion [0] and just got through Leibniz's explanation of monadology [1][2].

Does this research suggest that he may have been semi-correct??

"rendered" is a slightly tricky term when it comes to browsers. Often when people say "rendered" they mean "the page has loaded, all assets are there, and the whole thing has been drawn on the screen", but when someone from Google says "rendered", especially in a job interview, they probably mean the time to the first paint. That happens after all the blocking assets (synchronously loaded javascript, CSS, etc) have loaded but long before all the other assets (images, async JS, etc) have loaded.
