Technically you have to report and pay capital gains if the change in value is more than $200. In your case 15% gain is probably not more than $200 so you wouldn't have to report it. However if you're talking about $100,000 initial FX transaction you would have to report the $15,000 as a long or short term capital gain.

The trouble I've always had with this argument is that the amount of books needed to convincingly converse in Chinese would be staggeringly huge. You essentially have an entire human personality as a lookup table. It's not just that you can ask, in Chinese, What's your favorite food, and somewhere in the pages is an answer. You can ask, Tell me about your first love, and somewhere in the pages is an entire conversation. And not only would it be an entire conversation, it would be every possible conversation, depending on how the outside person replied. If it helps visualize the problem - the outside person could say, How about a game of chess?, and the inside person cannot rely on their knowledge of chess, so the books must encode every possible chess game, convincingly enough to hold up a game. Imagine how big a lookup table for chess would be. And that's just a tiny part of what a person knows.

And then despite having you accept that without question, and picture it as a small room, Searle turns around and says it would not be "at all plausible" to imagine the system as being conscious.

The system is almost entirely made of book. The human in the middle is almost invisible if you look at the system. That's the implausible part - that a human could even operate this Borges library. It's so unreasonable that intuition past that point doesn't give you any useful conclusions.

But, if you suspend disbelief enough to accept this galaxy-sized Chinese megalibrary, it's not implausible that "conscious" is a fine adjective for an operable printout of an entire consciousness.

True, but there are certain scenarios (think gaming, VoIP, etc) where you can't really decentralize in the way that traditional websites can. On top of that, many lower-tier websites and service companies have to use budget hosts simply by the nature of them being an initial startup. Unless we're talking SV startups, it's much more difficult to throw big money around when you're just starting out to get that kind of dedicated hardware protection.
I suspect, though, that there isn't a ton of competition for the keywords that matter to them. So the boost you get from hitting HN/TC/whatever once a month might be enough to keep them at the top of Google's SERPs. They did say that SEO drives something like 90% of their business.

Luck only goes so far. You need grades or sports to get in cheaply. The inflation of college prices isnt related to only the "1%" going to college. Nearly everyone goes [0], 68% in 2014. And if you dont, you either couldnt get in or smarter than the system could handle. To graduate you need to study, pass exams, write essays. College is not a free lunch only for the upper class. Its a bet the the american government guarentees because they believe a well educated workforce is a better workforce.

What I noticed about the bio-tech VCs is that they commonly have some actual
expertise in bio-tech, e.g.,
in their educations, frequently MDs, bio-medical Ph.D.'s, or both, and good, relevant technical
experience before becoming
VCs.

So, a guess is that with such
backgrounds, the bio-tech
VCs can look at a bio-tech
startup and look at its technology and actually
understand and evaluate it, understand
the competitive situation,
look at market potential,
evaluate the technical
qualifications of
the founders, etc.

E.g., for bio-tech projects,
the NIH problem sponsors can
do such evaluations.
For STEM projects, the NSF,
DARPA, ONR, etc. problem
sponsors can do such
evaluations.

The corresponding situation
for information technology VCs
is wildly different -- history
majors who got MBA degrees
and have some experience
in business development.

With high irony, it was

technical work for

national security and the
space race that initially
got Silicon Valley going --

You're also not the audience that AppleScript's natural language programming was designed for (similar with Automator). Don't get me wrong, I feel the same pain points, but AppleScript never was a programming language for developers.

This advice is horribly annoying, and I really wish people would stop recommending this awful email guesswork garbage.

I'm an engineer, and I once had a [firstname]@[company].com email address at a company. Later on, the company hired a recruiter with same first name, followed by a head of marketing with same first name.

Naturally I started getting tons of unsolicited mail, several times per day, from people who simply assumed my email address corresponds to one of the other people with the same first name. This included a lot of resumes from people who graduated from coding bootcamp.

Often the same person would email repeatedly, a few days apart. It definitely did not help their chance of getting hired.
Accroding to the USGS's page (linked to by civilian), the earthquake was a strike-slip earthquake, where two blocks of crust slide laterally relative to eachother on a vertical fault, with no real uplift of subsidence of the seafloor. It's unlikely that there will be a major tsunami, as these are caused by rapid displacement of lots of water by the seafloor. However, given the right topography along the fault, it is possible.
For an earlier example, see the TI-92 and TI-89. The 89 is basically exactly the same as the 92, but with the button layout of the TI-81/85 series.

I have never been entirely convinced that I have neither screwed up somehow in filing US federal tax forms, nor paid the minimum possible amount in tax.

Even if I were to somehow correctly claim every applicable reduction, and keep all the necessary supporting documentation, I still couldn't be certain that some faceless IRS agent wouldn't later tax my time by arbitrarily making me defend my filings in detail.

Being objectively correct is not adequate defense against IRS penalties. If you have never had to pay one, it may just be because the IRS computer never (randomly?) spat out your number for further scrutiny by a human.

> That you don't know the syntax of DEFUN confirms what I'm saying.

Yes, it rather confirms that you can go far in Lisp without memorizing stuff like this!!!

If I don't have to know, few people do.

You can bet your ass that if I had to implement an ANSI-CL conforming defun/lambda I'd get it right, of course. I don't have some "requirements don't matter" attitude; but not all requirements matter all the time to all people.

I'd like to add, though, this: you can't be safe in ignorance in Common Lisp. Things you don't know can hurt you. Less than in some other languages, but they are there. You probably won't be hurt by not knowing all the possibilities for combining docstrings and declares. But if you're ignorant of some things, you may get burned. Undefined behavior situations like modifying literal tree structure, or writing a program that parses untrusted Lisp data, not knowing about the #. syntax and * read-eval* . I'm not advocating unsafe ignorance. Not knowing the full flexibility of some syntax is generally safe, though.

> Explain this:

Which aspect of that error scenario isn't self-explanatory; what is left to explain?

From that one error, the listener has just taught us several important facts about the syntax which it accepts (which may be a superset of ANSI CL for all we know). It shows us that it accepts a docstring after a declare just fine, but that there must be at most one docstring. (At least, when the two are in that order, if we are to be strict in our guessing.)

So without looking at a shred of documentation outside of that error message, I'm already better informed.

The interactive nature of Lisp teaches! (Especially if the implementation is tight on error checking and has good diagnostics.)

What's left unsettled from that error situation is whether or not there may be multiple declares, since that case isn't being probed.
I work for Google Cloud. I think a blanket statement claiming the GCP is 50% cheaper that AWS is a bad for all the reasons you stated, there is a lot more than just VM pricing you have to take into account! We are definetly working on a lot of the things you brought up, I hope this time in 2017 your experience will be very different.

Want to clarify a few things though:

> - Choice of server/OS! maximum 8vCPU-7.2Mem in GCP compare to 192 vCPU and 2TB memory in AWS

The biggest instance on GCP currently is 32vCPU-120GB. Also, with custom machine types you can tune your machine and pick exactly how many cores / memory you need; you are not stuck with predefined instance types.

Curious what OSs AWS supports that GCP does not?

AWS definitely has a better vertical scaling story though.

> - NoSQL Big table ( max 30 nodes) - compare to ( virtually unlimited DynamoDB)

BigTable and DynamoDB are not really comparable. BigTable is much lower level. The apples to apples comparison is DynamoDB and Datastore, and Datastore is also unlimited.

> - 60 day trial and 300 dollar limit! compare to 1 year

I'd also like to see a longer trial for GCP, but the AWS trial gives you 1 year access to basic usage. With GCP, you can spend the $300 any way you like. Personally I'm not sure which model is better or worse, though I lean towards the AWS model.

Totally agree -- these things seem to have major quality problems. Many years ago I spent $200 on an Apple router. It died completely in just over a year, literally a few weeks after the warranty period. It wouldn't even power on.

Granted, just an anecdote with a sample size of 1, but after that experience there's no way I would ever consider buying another Apple router. Especially since my previous router (a Linksys) was still chugging along after like 7 years.
