"think it depicts Ramses II, Ozyamandias, the Great Ancestor—one of Egypt’s most famous and celebrated pharaohs."

I was wondering if the Shelley Poem about Ozymandias was about this guy [1]. Except the sonnet talks about finding the civilization remains in the desert vs under a road.

...And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away

> Set price A lower than you think - you can always add features and raise later to the point that people start to scream.

Set price A higher than you think. It is easy to lower the price later or to give -30% to customers and have them think it's a bargain. A higher price tag will confirm that your product is valuable and useful and you've got a market.

If they don't want to pay, you need to make a better product, or sell harder, or market it better. You don't want to fight for cheapness, cheap customers are cheap, annoying and they won't cover the costs to run the service.
Maxim Reference Design for Public-Key Secured Data Paths for IoT
I'm working on an approach using ZFS on K8s. The idea is to write a custom "flexvolume" driver that takes set of EBS volumes an options, attaches them, create a zpool, set options, etc. In tandem, however, I'm adding to each node host a systemd service to create dm-crypt+LVM devices atop of each NVMe drive (as in the i3 instance types). The flexvolume driver will support adding SLOG and/or L2ARC devices by provisioning LVM volumes from those.

Something I'm still unclear, is whether EBS does any data checksums, in which case I could disable ZFS' to spare CPU cycles (but keep compression, of course.)

TL;DR - Price is not a function of cost, and is ideally set before your product is built. Do not attempt to set a price unless you have a profile for your target market. Then, price according to what your customer is willing to pay.

IMO, this is a marketing question and here's a good entrepreneurial process for profiling the market and your target price. First, ask yourself these questions:

* What actual value does the product give to the customer?

* What are the competitors / substitutions to the product?

* What makes this product sustainable?

* What does the customer currently pay for comparable solutions - in money, time, and effort?

This should give you a good feel for what your customer is willing to pay. Then, set some financial profit targets which is your total revenue - total expenses (don't factor investment money as revenue). Finally, bend your product / process to this target price (not the other way around).

I would encourage any engineer to research courses on Marketing and Entrepreneurial Finance. The best marketers merge the engineering process (i.e. research, statistic, and financial analysis) with psychology (i.e. the feels).

Anyways, good question and it should not be taken lightly. I've stalked HN for some time now, but this question caused me to finally create an account.

I believe it, but this is more of an argument between the exceptional vs the broader industry. Me and the other person (I think) are looking at the industry in a much broader sense because there are various reasons someone would even make it into Facebook or Google in the first place which are not entirely dependent on ability. Even the majority of people at Google and Facebook are not at a senior level which is roughly what I think E5 is if I recall correctly.

When I took Abstract Algebra as part of my Math degree, we used Gallian, Herstein, and Judson. Gallian had a lot of examples and felt very much like the textbooks I used in high schools (colorful, lots of prose, etc.) It is incredibly easy to get into, but sometimes you've understood something and you don't need 25 more examples.

Herstein and Judson were both a less verbose (sometimes to the point of being unhelpful), but I'd still recommend them. I think I learned a lot from being exposed to different books. I could always look at another book if one book's explanations, examples, proofs, exercises were an issue. The Math Stackexchange was also invaluable because many of the proofs I saw there were very different from the ones I saw in class or in textbooks.

"The Commission believes that, in order to meet this standard, an exchange that lists and trades shares of commodity-trust exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) must, in addition to other applicable requirements, satisfy two requirements that are dispositive in this matter. First, the exchange must have surveillance-sharing agreements with significant markets for trading the underlying commodity or derivatives on that commodity. And second, those markets must be regulated.

Based on the record before it, the Commission believes that the significant markets for bitcoin are unregulated."

As usual in the bitcoin universe we are going to get a lot of people trying to explain you why something they were saying it would be so great for bitcoin until 1h ago, is actually a very bad thing for bitcoin and that this was actually the best possible scenario.
arbitrary yes, equally, no.
It's interesting, based on the rest of the ruling, that they're not particularly concerned with any other aspects of it as a commodity (they acknowledge various interesting properties of it but note that those wouldn't themselves prevent them from approving this), but instead solely concerned that the rest of the Bitcoin market isn't controlled and monitored well enough for them to regulate activities on it.
> First, the exchange must have surveillance-sharing agreements with significant markets for trading the underlying commodity or derivatives on that commodity.

> And second, those markets must be regulated.

So, essentially: bitcoin does not and can not satisfy these two conditions (nor can any other such scheme) and therefore you can't trade anything that is directly or indirectly representing bitcoins.
Its not just the support, its the variable quality across products (or updates). I have one of the ~2014 venue 7pros (exact model number escapes me) which came with win8 and I upgraded to win10. I disabled instantgo, and its a fantasic device, the battery lasts for days with my usage patterns, it resumes from standby in a couple seconds/etc. So, when it started having some serious cosmetic issues early this year, so I sprung for a newer one with a slightly newer (and in theory lower power CPU). The new one is a complete POS, the back gets hot, the battery lasts 1/4 as long, it takes literally 10's of seconds to wake-up and get out of the BIOS, the s3 standby options are actually disabled (no bios support), the wifi driver gets stuck. BIOS updates, driver updates, config changes, nothing fixes its load of issues. About the only thing that is better is they swapped the power and windows buttons which on the old one were inconveniently placed.

So, there are reviews of people having similar problems with the older tablet I have until dell fixed it sometime right before I purchased mine. But, good luck convincing dell's tech support that their firmware is a load of crap, and isn't working right. Rather they are like, did it boot, you must have a virus, please reinstall.. I might ask for a replacement but I suspect that won't fix anything.

We once did a Dutch auction promotion. The strike price was a 30% of our regular subscription price. We then decided to offer the strike price to all users, not only the winners and that was the month by revenue, three times our MRR at the time. Two years later our MRR is getting close to that record revenue.

We decided not to change our regular price, but probably setting it at 2 times the strike price could be a good regular price point based on the Dutch auction information gathered.
In summary: "First, the exchange must have surveillance-sharing agreements with significant markets for trading the underlying commodity or derivatives on that commodity. And second, those markets must be regulated."
Labeling a team pro-G is similar to labeling pro-lifers anti-choice. Or pro-choice people as pro-abortion. It using one sided proposed narrative to create a caricature of the other.

It's a very common stereotype on the right, that members of left are interested in more government for the sake of government. And labeling a side pro-government perpetuates this misperception.
Considering that most of the exchanges have been reduced to being stuck loading, are they wrong?
Which is exactly right, but couldn't the same argument be used against a gold etf?
I looked at launching a Bitcoin ETN a few years ago. The problem is, for any exchange-traded product to work, you need a clear index it's designed to track. For stocks, those data are reliably available in exchanges' data feeds. For commodities and FX it's a bit trickier, since people can trade these without reporting their trades, but the presence of healthy spot and futures markets is a reliable enough reference to prevent most shenanigans.

With Bitcoin, there is no trusted price. Each exchange reports its own price according to its own process and methodology. Not only could those be manipulated, but the price between them diverges from time to time. This raises a problem for an ETP manager. When redeeming units, which price should be used? How do we trust those prices aren't being manipulated?

Ultimately, I found these issues impossible to resolve. This decision by the SEC seems like the right one.
imho it stabilizes and goes back to 1200. It surged from 2011-2014 without the ETF...Bitcoin is seen as a safe haven against global destabilization. A lot of money on the sidelines looking for a buying opportunity that has come

Labour did not gut the NHS. Their policy on bringing the private sector into the NHS was probably a bad one - PPI was more expensive than direct public investment for hospital rebuilding but kept the costs off the national balance sheet, maintaining a helpful fiction.

But Labour significantly increased spending on the NHS, from 5% to 7% of GDP before the banking crisis (which with GDP falling saw spending rise in GDP terms by about another 1%.)

Since the Tories regained power they've been cutting back on NHS spending (and more dramatically on social care, which increases the demands on the NHS.) That's why we're seeing the horror stories once again of waiting lists and winter crises, which had last been common under the previous Tory administration in the early 1990's.

I don't understand why people parrot this sentiment all the time. Lots of crappy startups hand out worthless equity -- would you say "most tech stocks aren't worth anything"?

> NO MORE TRYING TO REWRITE THINGS IN HASKELL. JUST. GET. SHIT. DONE.

I chuckled at that, because while it makes for a good joke, I've learned from experience that writing stuff in less mainstream languages like Haskell is probably the best way to avoid getting distracted by trendy new frameworks all the time, since they tend to have smaller, more niche focused communities that don't produce new frameworks every week that would even be relevant to you.
Bitcoin just went from a high of 1327.1926 to 995.9575 in the blink of an eye.

Wow.

From the ruling....

> First, the exchange must have surveillance-sharing agreements with significant markets for trading the underlying commodity or derivatives on that commodity. And second, those markets must be regulated.

> Based on the record before it, the Commission believes that the significant markets for bitcoin are unregulated.
I'm not sure I entirely understand if they mean that Bitcoin itself must be regulated or just that the SEC needs to see that the major exchanges are regulated.

If its the former, then I think this is game over, if its the later then............hmmm I really don't know.

EDIT Having gone through the ruling it looks like they have a few reservations.

1) Most of the bitcoin trading happens on unregulated markets

2) Most of the volume happends in China and not the us and is therefore hard to regulate.

3) The ETF is tied to the Winklevoss own Gemini exchange which has little volume and often inferior pricing to other more liquid exchanges.

4) They bring up the lack of a liquid futures market, though I'm not sure this is really a concern.

> The Commission has, in past approvals of commodity-trust ETPs, emphasized the
importance of surveillance-sharing agreements between the national securities exchange listing
and trading the ETP, and significant markets relating to the underlying asset.
144 Such agreements,
which are a necessary tool to enable the ETP-listing exchange to detect and deter manipulative
conduct, enable the exchange to meet its obligation under Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act to
have rules that are designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices and to
protect investors and the public interest

So until bitcoin markets are regulated by the SEC or similar no ETP/ETF products I suppose.

I'm a bit disappointed that there is no ETF but this is pretty darn reasonable.
Not sure what you mean by "bookwork". Is that what memorizing proofs is called in the UK? Most of the exams and homework were more typical math exercises, e.g. little proofs and calculations within the context of special cases.

I mean, I remember getting tested on parts of the "epsilon delta" definition of a limit in analysis, for example, but I don't recall ever being asked to regurgitate the entire thing correctly. It's funny but I don't even associate important tools like Taylor series with "proofs", only applications. The lecturer would sometimes prove things, but we were never tested on the proof, only the ability to apply the result. Mind you, I was physics not math so perhaps that's the difference. In fairness there is a LOT of math tools to learn, and I'm not sure there's really time to get into proving everything as an undergrad, but perhaps that's a mistake.
I see your point, but I also think that is substantially different than:

> including evidence the agency trained company technicians on law-enforcement operational tactics, shared lists of targeted citizens and, to covertly increase surveillance of the public, encouraged searches of computers even when unrelated to a customer's request for repairs.
This is really sad. I got the impression while reading through that whole sorry story that the poor girl's parents really just don't see how they are a huge source of negativity and pain in their daughter's life. They kick her out of the house, sabotage her job, put conditions on their provision of love and support. These are terrible parents. I feel awful just reading about that whole situation.
The definition of "opt-in" is questionable. Many publishers don't want AMP and would not have implemented it if it weren't fast becoming critical to their survival because they are overly dependent on Google, and Google is leveraging its market dominance to exert control over the ecosystem.

I've got some similar projects: An NES emulator that I play with optimizations in, and a bunch of utilities related to the game Ultima Underworld, which are basically waiting to be plugged into an as-yet-unwritten game engine. There's some interesting code (both mine, and disassembled code from the original game binaries), but the shiny, attractive parts are spread thin.

Plus, if I had external pressure to work on these things, I feel like they'd lose some of their interest. Part of why I like them is that they're impractical projects that I can putter around in occasionally, when the muse strikes.

The reason there is such a wide variety of ways to develop web platforms isn't because each one before it wasn't stable enough, it's because people have different preferences and skillsets. Nginx is one of the most widely used web servers and it's written in plain old C. It's the developer who ultimately decides whether or not they shoot themselves in the foot. Languages like C simply take off the safety in exchange for the quick draw. So pick the whatever is most intuitive for you to learn and ideally also choose platforms components that are modular.

> in general journalists still go for the easier "stories" that can be portrayed as competing sides, or simple narratives in general rather than what would actually inform people about the world.

Journalists, AFAIK, are supposed to avoid inserting their own judgement, give the reader the information (including opinions of different sides), and let the reader make their own decisions.

We can say that journalists should present "facts", but who says what the facts are? In the end, it comes down to expressed judgments by humans.

That being said, that can be taken to too much of an extreme, as it has been with climate change. I don't need opposing opinions about whether the Sun will rise tomorrow.
