Does anyone have any information on what his political views actually are? I assume he'd run as a Democrat but that provides me with little comfort given his history.
For that kind of money you should start looking at doing out of state hunting. Both NM and CO have good options for the non-resident hunter.

Prairie funding is changing pretty quickly, at least here in SK. We don't really focus on getting SK-money, but we've had great funding and interest from Toronto, Chicago and some Valley funding. Locality didn't matter to any of our investors as much as what the plan and growth strategies are.

I understand that there are biases against women in our society, and I don't argue with that.

I argue that there are biological differences between men and women, and these differences are causing different representation in STEM fields.

I would also say that today, we're living in the most equal opportunity society than ever before. Let the free market sort itself out. If you try to artificially increase the proportion of women in STEM fields, you will decrease the quality of engineers. I'm sorry, but that's how it is.

> So when you cite evidence that says men are smarter than women conducted by men standing on the shoulders of a society built for men, you can't be shocked when people question it.

So, did they use a flawed methodology? Were these studies sexist? Could you point in which way these studies are sexist? Do you disagree that males often have higher variance in different traits in many species? Do you disagree that men have higher variance in IQ?
What drives me crazy is they still have to deal with anti-trust investigations in the EU because they require that some apps at least be on the device to begin with. The user can do whatever they want afterwards. The user can even install there own app store.

Meanwhile here's Apple, the only apps that can be installed have to come from the App store (where Apple gets their 30% cut).

You're right about fear. People who don't admit their fear, do something to mask the fear.

MS is masking their fear of being ridiculed for ugliness by focusing unduly on design. The result has been "form over function." And now, MS pays lip service to productivity.

They also focus intently on security to avoid being ridiculed for unsecure software (viruses, bugs, crashes compared to Mac and linux). The result? Closed Windows Phone and Windows Apps which unfortunately doomed both; and forced updates with intrusive data collection.

Last but most important, MS's is as fast as a tortoise compared to Google, Apple, Amazon... They can't seem to make up their minds on features, app and OS design - hence the multiple reboots of Music turned Groove; Universal apps/Metro apps/UWP; Wp7,8,8.1,10->?, skype/message app, Metro skype and now UWP skype.

For a company which built itself on compatibility, the constant change in direction is death by a thousand cuts.
Very good comment, thank you.

You are exactly correct on the tooling costs, except there is no limit to the high end. Ford might spend many millions on tooling for a new car at the extreme end of the scale, for example. I think all tool and die makers are way to used to saying "$10,000 and up" anytime you ask them about die costs.

We often employ ghetto-tools when doing small runs. This means a tool carved out of cheap A36 steel that will only last a few hundred uses, or layers cut out on the laser and stacked up to make functional-but-ugly tool. Tools like this can be made from scrap laying around and some machine time - essentialy free since the costs were already sunk. Its a great way to see if an idea will work, or to make something in small runs of 10 or 50. A $10,000 tooling cost is non-starting if the total sales expected is measured in a few thousand dollars.

This is why flexible tools like laser cutters are so popular. No special tooling to buy, the laser does it all. The high price of tool and die making has put most of those shops out of business or moved it offshore to Asia. What little we do for my company we do inhouse now. The problem with a laser is that everything starts to look too much 2D and too boring. "When everything is a hammer ..."

He resigned the night of the referendum, when he understood that the government is going to capitulate. Maybe in some countries that's nothing special - as it should be. When you're not on the same page with what the government does, you retire and let someone else who believes in the solution, implement it and then pay the piper.

In Greece, I know of NO politician in 50 years, who retired promptly when his views and gov's views stopped being aligned.

So regarding Greece, that's a huge deal and gives him alone more credibility that the last 10 Greek governments put together.

> No, the point is that we subjects get to keep more of the resources for which we work... Any primarily agricultural state would have had trouble "supercharging growth" over that period.

You are moving the goalposts after the experiment has failed. Before these tax reforms were passed, their advocates said over and over that the point was to supercharge growth, and that the tax cuts would surely accomplish that.

"future scarcity"

But if there is too much fish taken away, then it is harder to catch them, right, so scarcity. But the remaining fish then have much more space and food to reproduce ... so they go ack to the old levels quickly, so where is the problem (unless some species go literally extinct)?

I think #1 and #2 wouldn't necessarily increase competition as much as limit the governments ability to further constrain it.

Wouldn't #3 limit the speed and growth to whatever the city can afford to provide? And truly the only ISP is the local government at that point since they own everything.
This is the correct answer. Exposure to future potential liabilities is a problem already solved by insurance.

Think about it this way, it's like malpractice insurance for doctors. So there should be malpractice insurance for states/courts - if a conviction is later overturned and the state is liable for the return of property, it gets paid out by insurance.
Congrats on the launch, what's in-store for the next 3-6 months?

Corporate CEO goes on cross-country tour to show "regular folk" how relatable he is.

Barf. What shit "news".
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words, and I'm glad that someone finds my take informative.

As a sibling commenter points out, it's easy to sound credible by throwing words around without really understanding the nuances. It's always nerve-wracking when someone may take you a little too seriously. I've learned I need to put two disclaimers on my "playing lawyer" posts because just one wasn't enough to avoid the ire of some people who I assume are real lawyers. ;)

And to be honest, if I were a real lawyer, I would still probably want to "IANAL" disclaim most of these speculative/navel-gazing posts anyway.
>The router is sold as "Trend Micro on board".

As a somewhat informed consumer and sysadmin I would automatically assume that means something like gateway AV, not unbelievably levels of snooping. I imagine most people would feel the same way and the marketing language is careful crafted to give that impression. Example in the wild:

"bought an ASUS AC-87U Router, do I still need an AV?"

I hoped so too. I think someone is forking it, but AFAIK it's c or ASM only.

I guess you haven't been to Pier One.

People do want an authentic, unique piece of jewelry. But they also want something affordable. Sometimes, buyers are a little willing to believe what they want to believe to accomplish both of those goals. And there is no shortage of sellers who will tell them what they want to hear (i.e. lie) to enable that.

For buyers who really do want something authentic, achieving that requires trust in the seller. That trust is something Etsy used to have in spades, and it's something that's been dwindling over time.
No, I'm saying it's bad stats because it seems like bad stats -- and without the dataset we can't verify. There's a lot going on here and even jumping to a conclusion of sexism is kind of silly. Maybe women are more likely to prefer a collaborative approach to problem solving and therefore are more likely to put up a CR earlier in the process?

Why I wouldn't take it at face value: rejecting CRs sucks. Every round of review takes time away from the reviewer as well as the reviewee. Unconscious biases exist, sure, but it's hard to argue that people are actively making their life more difficult because of them.

> Ali had previously sold the Chevy but still held title to it and it was registered in his name ..... In order to regain his Chevy, Ali was asked to prove his innocence.

Why does he need to regain "his" Chevy? It said he sold it, so it's not his anymore. Just the title transfer was not registered yet (which in my state is pretty common, especially for junk cars, since the state charges a fee and sales tax to record the transfer).

One time my Mom got a call from a random number(It was something unusual about the phone number, it was 7 digit). The person on the phone was pretending to be a MS employee and had an accent. What my mom told me. The guy said the they have been informed about a malware/virus which has effected her computer and need to resolve that issue. She is said fine. He gave her some instructions to flow. Asked to her open command prompt. Which my mom didnt even knew exists on a pc. He made her type some commands and later went asked her to look into system logs. Off course there were some failure logs in red. The guy told her that's because of virus. He wanted to her install teamviewer and give her the access details. My mom is not a tech savy person. All she knows, is to open google chrome and watch netflix. She said she need to call my son to find out more. The guy was getting impatient and hang up the phone.

Now, tech savvy people like me can detect spammers/scammers way before in this scenario. But for my mom it took a while. The guy said he was calling from Microsoft and even knew the some ID code of my computer, what she told me. She fell for that. Fortunately, her account doesnt have admin privileges.

Yes, I understood that, I tried to indicate that by writing "unemployed" - i.e. they were talented but taking it easy by their own choice (one guy apparently for 10 years). However, for a person who hadn't worked with these guys, it wouldn't be obvious that they would efficient in the execution, as many times people err to use a filled/gapless CV as a proxy for execution capability.

Those are probably proper femtocells, that broadcast a new cellular signal. These are repeaters or dumb signal boosters, that rely on a cellular connection back to the actual network.
OK, I assumed that by "sustain" you meant "subsistence". I agree that the capitalist won't pay more than needed to retain the worker.

> But the worker only works for the capitalist class on pain of death or destitution. If this isn't forced, I'm not sure what is.

Well, in the early days of capitalism, when working for the capitalist class had the alternative of staying in subsistence farming, many people chose the factories because it was better than the "freedom" of subsistence farming. That wasn't forced - there was a real alternative at the time, and in fact the alternative was the default.

> That's still wage labour though...

OK, if I wanted to start my own business, I could do that, too. I'm still not forced into wage labor.

> and you're still having your own labour decided its use by someone else. You don't have to be your own manager, the point is that you should have free association to choose who you want to work for and what you want to do, rather than a much more limited choice which restricts your true capabilities and creativity to merely what drives profits.

Well, I could work on what I wanted, rather than on what drives profits. That would be really cool. Unfortunately, I can't take that choice, because I'd starve - which is your point. But I would say, why should I be able to? Sure, it would be nice if the world gave me a living while I do what I want. But why should I expect it to? If I want to engage in the economy at all, say as an owner of my own business, I have to care about what people want to buy; I can't just do what I want. Why should I be surprised if it's the same when I work for someone else?

> Automation usually means that the capitalist has been able to buy machinery which performs the same job with a lower socially necessary labour time than a worker. This means that one or more workers are replaced by such machinery, as the value of their labour is only some fraction of what it was before (going along with Marx's theory of value anyway).

I think you're looking at this backwards. Look at it from the point of view of the society, not from the point of view of one worker, and think in terms of spending people rather than employing them.

Societies used to have one third of their people working on farms. Now they have maybe 3% of their people working on farms. That gives an extra 30% of people that can do something else that helps the society. What do they do? Well, some of them make the tractors and combines that make it so the society can feed itself with many fewer people, and some make cars and refrigerators and washing machines, and some make computers, and some program them. The whole society is far better off than it was when a third of the people worked on farms.

Now, automation can still be a problem for individual workers, or even for a fairly large number of workers at one time. Arguably, this is where we are now. But even with that, I don't think that automation is a net loss.
Forgive me for the naive question, but how does this stack up in terms of the legality of what you're doing? I'm aware of some limited exceptions that would allow you to do this sort of reverse engineering for interoperability reasons in the EU.

Also, isn't it going to be reasonably fragile? There's nothing stopping the banks (other than [in my experience] their general inability to make technical changes at a reasonable pace) pushing an update and breaking old API clients, right?

good to know of a new kid in the block. when comparing prices, which is dramatically lower than the competitors, I wonder if .0039 cents per gigabyte is basically just the storage cost and not the cost of w/r/d data over a period of time? one thing that's common among aws, azure, and google cloud is they make their money by charging customers for egress of data. so with this low price Wasabi certainly seems like a good place for archival, but not necessarily primary storage which might do a lot of roundtrips throughout the day.

"but if you take the time to read/watch his interview his thinking is crystal clear"

And here is, I think, the problem. In general people don't take the time, and that's OK, but then they have not problem in having a strong opinion, that they read in some interested media.

My advice to the people so inclined is: check some of Varoufakis (and others) youtube interviews. Read a little about what is going on.

Check, for instance, how Spain was allowed to spend without consequences above the deficit limits just before the elections.

Check how, in the same way there is a limit to deficits in the treaties, there is a limit in surplus that Germany don't feel it has to respect.

Or just think how it's impossible that everybody is in surplus at the same time.

Or how all integrated monetary areas have deficit and surplus regions and that is OK because they have some way to compensate the unbalances.

One of my favourite examples is the black vs grey pins. Here's the black one [1], and [2] is the grey one. It's one of those parts that often look like it's a rather haphazard choice which one to use. And sometimes it might be.

But the black one has friction ridges that are a tiny fraction of a millimetre. Little enough that for constructions where friction doesn't matter (you just want to connect two parts and something else will prevent rotation), they are mostly interchangeable, but the grey ones work better to connect wheels that you actually want to be able to spin, and the black one works better if you want to build a rigid structure.

You don't tend to find two parts that similar with that kind of minor difference for most non-lego plastic building blocks because most of them don't manufacture their parts precisely enough for it to work.
