I love how the first conclusion you jump to is "marrying into money". Really? You know that there are plenty of single-earner households outside of SF/SV, NYC, and the other tech hubs, right? (That aren't rich, if that needs to be stressed).

Step out of your HN bubble for a moment, and try to think about the existence of groups that you don't normally acknowledge. It's "not going to be valid much longer" just because things are changing in the immediate regions that you typically spend time reading about. There's the rest of the country and even the world to take into consideration too.

Is there any good argument for eschewing the extra comma when it clearly disambiguates the meaning of the sentence?

I can't think of one, but I also find it (slightly) difficult to believe that anyone smart enough to write an article would insist on ambiguity for no good reason...

EDIT: to disambiguate my own comment: with 'when' I meant 'in cases where leaving out the comma causes ambiguity'. Personally I try to prioritize clarity so sometimes I will use an extra comma, and sometimes I won't.
Life is not black and white, how you feel about something isn't terrible or brilliant every time. This is idiotic.

Weekly Top 10: Future DevOps
That period of time where a MVP is in development is prime time for a nontechnical partner to be out there talking to potential customers, putting together marketing materials, building an email list. Even without a working product you'll learn a lot and be able to hit the ground running later on.

Waiting until the product is 'ready' to get the wheels turning on sales and marketing can lose you valuable early insights and make it take longer to see if your product fits the market.

Fluid dynamics is a useful, but simplistic model. It's not actually true, but can accurately model truth.
I have used Fortran in a few instances where I was compelled to. I never gave it much of a chance because I didn't like using it, and what's more it isn't nearly as popular as C/Python/Matlab etc. for modern stuff. If popularity (and hence code sharing) wasn't important I'd be using languages I like, like Haskell and Scheme.

All the same your comment makes me think I may have dismissed it too quickly so I'm going to give it another try for my next toy project (even if they index arrays from 1). Thank you.
I think it's more a reaction to a usage pattern of their star system. YouTube abandoned their five star rating system citing that most people voted only 1 or 5 stars with almost nothing in between. [1] I'd guess a vast amount of Netflix users do the same.

[1] https://youtube.googleblog.com/2009/09/five-stars-dominate-r...
That's exactly how their recommendation system works. If it just surfaced the highest-rated movies globally, everyone's recs would be identical. Collaborative filtering implicitly weighs the opinions of those similar to you more highly.
I think what you are describing might be called 'Weaponized Flow State'. Flow states that arise while [acting, playing music, playing sports, programming] are really hard to generate. You have to develop those skills without "dynamic difficulty setting" that the author refers to. But when your basic skills are enough for you to do well, you can get drawn into a flow state much quicker.
OP, your question is the tax equivalent of "I have a computer, what software should I use?"

Find someone -- lawyer or accountant -- who is local to you. Don't use the internet. (Reason: local knowledge matters). Example: an LLC in Dubai is not the same as an LLC in Delaware. An LLC in Delaware has different filing requirements than an LLC in California.

That person will want to know about ownership, assets, and activities -- Who owns this LLC, what it owns, and what it has done. If you are in the USA there is also the option of making an LLC behave in different ways for tax purposes. (See IRS Form 8832).

Then and only then can you get a competent answer to your question.

Note also that your answer is not self-contained. Tax effects bleed from the LLC to the owners. The income earned by the LLC will be taxable (probably to them) and must show up on their tax returns somehow.

And paperwork problems are not self-contained within the income tax world. E.g., you may be required to get a business license. Or (like California) you might be exposed to the sales and use tax paperwork in a surprising and nonobvious way.

Again. Go find someone local. Give that person money. For the price of a few small green rectangles you can buy decades of accumulated wisdom. Think of the time and stress you save yourself!

Good luck. :-)

I play Zelda in TV mode 90% of the time. Being able to take it with me to bed, or on the train is just icing on the cake. I'm willing to bet most people are spending the majority of their time with the Switch in TV mode as well.
Whenever I would browse the Netflix reviews it appeared most people voted either 5 stars or 1 star anyway.
Now, if you make it singular, it's the presence of an Oxford comma that makes it ambiguous:

"I'd like to thank my mother, Ayn Rand, and God"

Whereas

"I'd like to thank my mother, Ayn Rand and God"

As long as English uses commas for both apposition and list separation, there will always be ambiguity no matter which comma convention is used.
That's why we can't have tech and science knowledge concentrated in the hands of a powerful few. If AI/robotics knowledge is everywhere, no single group will be able to control it.
In this example, what does "for shipment" add to the meaning? I figure omitting that would make this far clearer.
My advice: stay away from Battlestar. I'm still mad at the writers these many years later. They kept pulling you on, making you believe they had any idea whatsoever about plot. They didn't.
Question to the Machine Learning folk: are five-star ratings "better" than thumbs up/down, or is it just a matter of algorithm design?

Quite frankly, I feel Skyrim and the Mass Effect series blows Witcher 3 out of the water in regards to the criteria you just listed. I found the game rather boring given the limited character customization and rather linear skill progression. I couldn't bring myself to complete it and it sits on my shelf gathering dust.

I've been interested in running my own business since I was 20 (I'm 37 now). When I was in my early 20s, I was the developer in a partnership. My partner was the 'ideas' guy and was going to finance anything we needed to launch the site. I figured because my friend and business partner was already running his own company, it would make for a better co-founder.

I worked on our idea for 3 months and finished it. At the end of the 3 months, he told me that he needed to concentrate on things that made him money and he just wasn't interested in pursuing any new ideas. Since I was poor and still living with my parents, I wasn't able to do anything with my code except use it on interviews when looking for a new job. Another company came out with almost the same idea a few years later and made millions.

The main problem was that he had no skin in the game. I had poured my life into our idea and thought about it every day. He put nothing/very little into it and was easily able to move onto something new because he wasn't losing anything. Everyone needs to take the same amount of risk in a business partnership. This is usually either time or money.

A few years later he continued on with his door-to-door computer repair company and wanted to hire me for $10/hour as a technician. At that point, I was making a salary and had a great position as a junior software developer and pretty much laughed in his face.

Our personal relationship never really recovered. We were good friends before this and at this point, and I haven't talked to him for 10+ years.
> with sometimes disastrous results

There are other language like French without the Oxford comma and that does not lead to disastrous misunderstandings.

It is not like the English language, in general, does not have plenty of room for misinterpretation, even in every day speech. However if you look at the level of precision people need the Oxford coma for, you would have the impression you are in a project coin discussion for a small tweak in the java language causing compiler warnings.
For some reason the image of a mouse in a cage running on a wheel with a person shouting at it popped into my head here; it reads like the transcript of YouTube motivational videos that on the surface has substance, but are actually hollow.

Doing something is a strict superset of doing something valuable, the key is to bring value, which the quoted comment was addressing.
WTF is a "strictly confidential conversation"? Do professors at TU/e have some special status akin to doctors or lawyers? I've never heard of this sort of thing anywhere else.
Slightly off topic, but I'm horrified by the idea of ever creating consciousness in machines. Imagine we built a piece of software that could feel, and built controls for its emotions. I can't imagine it would take long before some bored teenager or sociopath, who in earlier years would torture individual squirrels or insects, created an infinite suffering machine. You could run thousands of instances of your suffering machine and simulate a holocaust on your desktop. That's not a power I would trust the world with.
I would argue that public securities and the stock market is exactly what provides sustainability and long term job creation.
This seems like pure difficulty for me. When I think of thumbs up / down metrics I think in terms of "would I endorse this?"

A movie like "Suicide Squad" was (to me at least) highly enjoyable, though I thought it objectively had many problems with plot and delivery. I would probably give it 3 stars, which is relatively neutral for me (or leave it altogether unrated). If it were thumbs up/down, I would probably have to leave it unrated completely.

Maybe that's an improvement, but the more discussion I see around this, the more I realize the futility of single-axis metrics for things like this, until and unless you're asking a single question "Did you enjoy this movie" is a much different question from "is this a good movie" -- and I don't really know which one I've been answering on Netflix all these years past.

> You can't have people who only essentially generate work for others.

This 100% true and an almost unavoidable occurrence when non-technical and technical individuals attempt to start something together. I'd say it's extremely important that if a non-technical individual is coming to a technical one to build literally everything they dream up, said non-technical individual absolutely must be doing an equivalent amount of work in other areas of the company. Sending emails and taking calls/meetings only gets you so far and will eventually be perceived as "0-net" tasks by the technical individual if they don't result in anything.
Meh. DRY. The conjunction serves the exact same purpose as the comma, as well as signalling the end of the list. Any construction that is made ambiguously appositive by the absence of an Oxford comma has a parallel construction that is made ambiguous by the presence of an Oxford comma.
Ok, but there's a lot of accessory therefor that need to be counted. Totally true about smartphone but I have replying about buying one console for one game, if you have plenty of game, why not but for one game it's a waste for me and this model of exclusivity fail. Why I would buy the copy of an old game for the same price? come-on! I pay once, and I own the game not matter the support!

Plastic are a big waste. Most of my computers made 10 years or more, always find someone that need one, or a part that can be reused. No need for new GF every year...

I think a lot of people look at the stars as a measure of enjoyment when trying to find something to watch, but when actually rating something, as a measure of quality.
Of course there are even better value propositions out there in gaming. I've got well over 100 hours in (seriously fun) Crashlands gameplay, and I paid a grand total of $20 for that ($5 for mobile, $15 for the cross-save-compatible Steam/PC version). I'm also 70 (maybe somewhat less fun overall) hours into Stardew Valley, which cost me less than $15.
You can do that now. Write a console app, where if you type 'pain' it prints 'oh! How I'm suffering!'.

I don't see how that software is essentially different from the proposed software.
The case was decided on equity, not grammar. What the comma style did was give the company a specious argument to make.
Normalize star ratings. If something has an average rating of 4 stars, but four stars is in the lowest 10 percent, it should be given 1 star. This solves the classic issue with star ratings where anything under 5 stars is below average.

Personally I use star ratings badly myself. I only ever rate titles 5 stars. But that's because I mostly only watch stuff I am fairly sure I am going to like.
I had issues with VPN and some dutch ISPs, so Im not sure about that.

Maybe it's safer /not/ to wear a seatbelt.

It was hard to find good stats with quick googling, but this old source[1] suggests that blood clots during flights are the greater risk, killing at least 2,000 people in the UK per year. I suspect that keeping a seatbelt off while cruising lets you shift around more mid flight and would give a small decrease in the frequency of clots.

Visual Studio Team Services is a pretty all-in-one solution. The only thing I'd like it to have a vastly simpler non-technical view. Something like Trello, as a front-end. They try to do this but imo it's not very effective.

Their recommendation system is useless anyway, to the point that I've started to see five-starred content as a negative indicator.

Why not remove recommendations altogether? They clearly don't have a library to support it.

>2. If you get sued and you've been paying $1k a month or more to Azure, MS will give you one of a their 10k patents on a list if it'll help mount a defense. Could be helpful, I suppose, but hard to figure out the value. If I'm sued, AND MS has a relevant patent on the list, how useful would it be?

If you are sued by a troll or some other sort of non-practicing entity, that is worth zip. You can't defensively assert against them since they don't do anything.

If you are sued by a real company, it could help bring down settlement costs. Hard to value that, but it's worth something.

"Politics is downstream from culture" is a famous quote from late Andrew Breitbart. I hope you observed how the anti-white anti-male identity movements subsequently became either a part of company culture or actually a legislation, giving rise to coerced "diversity". This "identity politics only for some groups but not all" is not "e pluribus unum" that USA used to stand for, so the reaction or pushback against it was anything but unexpected.
I think a lot of this is stemming from the deeper issue that kids are just tired of being charged absurd amounts of money for a cookie cutter syllabus based on a text book, and then tested on it, while the college shoves as many kids in classrooms and labs as possible and praising their "% of grads that find jobs immediately after graduating!"

As a reaction to that, yes I agree. However, we will be fooling ourselves if you think that anything compares being next to a real teacher. Someone who has intimate knowledge of the subject. Someone who truly cares about teaching and guiding. I can think of all the MIT OpenCourseWare lectures I watched where my mouth dropped to the floor and I said to myself "Gosh I really wish I could of had a teacher like that at my University" And I can only imagine being able to actually go up to their office and get personal 1 on 1 time with them, or work along side some of them in research...crazy, but getting that experience at some state college in middle america somewhere is just a rarity, a needle in a haystack.
You can already get instant hints now with VS Code and the Rust Language Server (RLS). It's still in alpha and the initial setup is a bit involved, but it already works very well for me.

For some reason, code completion via Racer doesn't work yet for me via RLS, so I use the "old" RustyCode extension for that (https://github.com/saviorisdead/RustyCode).
That's not a counterpoint to releasing it as OSS, though. There are lots of OSS projects where creators don't require community input.

Second Line:

"However, in practice, the short seller is required to post margin or collateral to cover losses, and inability to do so in a timely way would cause its broker or counterparty to liquidate the position."

That's exactly what the Bitcoin exchange will do, as well. Since the exchange actually holds the assets (i.e. bitcoin and dollars), it can also determine whether such liquidation is backed by orders.

I use the stars to signal quality as a means of determining if I'd enjoy it. 5 stars? This is likely to be high-quality and enjoyable. 3 stars?
