There are no dividends paid on holdings. That would make it a security and fall under regulation.

Most ICOs stipulate that in their T&C that tokens are to be regarded as without value. Yet they put up a big dog and pony show about selling them. To think that this absolves them of responsibility is a bit naive, in my opinion.

This particular token is a clear cut example. Block.one will build another altcoin. There is no code yet, only a whitepaper that on the face of it seems to promise the impossible (all the functionality you can think of at a million times the throughput). To finance this they will sell this EOS token, which is explicitly stated not to be exchangable for their future altcoin product or have any other use.

It might be of interest to note that the person behind this is not new to the game. This is his third crowdfunding scheme, and the first two products are far from what was promised. As to why people invest your guess is as good as mine, but the greater fool theory is a good starting point.
With the work Microsoft have been doing with the former Revolution Analytics, you absolutely can go into Production on R if you want to.
Absolutely. Pre-GST business could get by without computer/online. GST works online ONLY. This will result in short term pain and cost but bulldoze all these guys online. Companies like ClearTax (YC) will make a killing.
Most commuters are not on 125mph lines.

I used to commute Brighton to London, the trains are nice and I could get a seat. However anyone getting on at any intermediate stations usually had to stand.

We definitely need more high speed lines to free up space on the other lines.

You are erroneously conflating the default when there is no User= item with the default when there is a User= item but its value is neither a number nor a valid account in the user account database. The latter default is the item under discussion here.

In Norway the situation is similar. There is 25% VAT on most goods and services, but food is taxed at 15% and transportation at 10%.

That non-flatness leads to a ridiculous situation when restaurants or other places serving food have to charge different rate depending if the food is take-away or will be consumed inside. The latter is considered a service and must be charged with 25% tax while the former is treated just as food with 15% tax.
Data races are possible in memory managed languages. And segfaults are thrown over the fence to the runtime. I'm sure anyone who has used Java in anger has seen segfaults. I certainly have.

Personally, I think the statement is too strong. Rust is not immune to these things as the compiler is victim to all the realities of software development that all projects face. But it certainly does dramatically reduce the bug vectors.
GST is for the central govt which combines all taxes under one umbrella but you still end up pay for income tax as well as respective state tax.

So your tax would be GST + State GST.

The idea one nation one tax is wrong because if you purchase a car in delhi it is not the same price as the one purchased in nagercoil,TN. Had it been the same price then "One Nation, One Tax" was relevant.
In the past I would lose my keys on a painfully frequent basis, lock them in my vehicle, etc.

Similarly master offline backups of mine have been lost, stolen, or simply not available to me when I needed them most.

A few years ago I had two NFC tags implanted. I use them to open/start all my vehicles, unlock my front door and office doors, as well as store encrypted backup seeds for my cryptocurrency wallets and other private keys. They even allow me to use a vending machine at my favorite hackerspace.

I can lose my keyring and my wallet and have my home burn down and I still maintain access to all of my remaining physical and digital property.

Over the past few years I have not had to keep up with metal keys, and it has been a pretty great life upgrade.

I still use HSMs day to day for transaction signing, binary signing, password management, ssh, etc. to keep from exposing secret keys. I will be replacing these cases soon with a Vivokey which offers an implantable NFC powered secure element.

Implantable RFID tech is solving a lot of problems for me.

Yes it was. Building an integrated web/email/etc client was harder than they thought it would be, and then there was the Javagator fiasco.

But what really killed Netscape the company - which was planning to give the browser away anyway to create demand for their expensive server products - was that version 3 of Netscape Enterprise Server was terrible. The only thing less reliable than it was the watchdog process that came with it that was supposed to restart it when (not if) it crashed...

This right here is exactly the problem. Trying to find out a tech solution to a problem which is not caused by technology.

Curious - What would make you think so?

> Before Aadhar, these benefits would disappear due to corruption even before reaching the needy while with Aadhar, millions of people have suddenly got bank accounts and get direct Benefits transfer from the government.

You are mixing up many things here. Bank accounts have got nothing to do with Aadhar. Bank accounts don't mean much when you do not have meaningful access. There is a digital and banking divide in India which the person who has Internet access find it difficult to understand. Once you read RBI's Financial Inclusion report you'd understand why.

Benefits via Aadhar have been grossly overstated - there has been a recent filing in the court regarding this.

> I'm fairly certain they'll try to do their best to avoid adverse headlines.

I'm fairly certain given the responses by people who control Aadhar - this wouldn't be addressed. Heck, Aadhar is passed as a "Finance Bill" when it clearly is not.
While 37 times looks like a huge number but it is not that complex. Most of the data is auto-populated based on your invoices and supplier information. In most cases, all you would be required do is press the "file now" button.
Consider that some other people are not getting their benefits today. Earlier, some people were not getting benefits; now some others aren't getting it. The reasons have changed - the situation remains.

From the naive clueless knowledge of GC implementation algorithms, yes.

From the point of view of those that understand GC implementation algorithms, it is an actor local GC only executed at specific defined points, coupled with capabilities.

Rust use of affine types for memory management is great, but not all applications need such tight memory management, so it is a good productivity improvement to just be able to use a GC approach.
That’s relevant for geosynchronous orbits, but for geostationary, the circumference is 7 times longer than the equator’s distance.
Look at the recent ICOs. The companies usually have little to none to offer, Mysterium, Gnosis, Bancor. People only buy hoping the coin will be included on Poloniex. Worked for Gnosis, investors saw huge returns. Yet the technology is all not existent, stay away for the tech. Before these things actually launch you can buy coins, but until they launch its all just gambling.
I see a bit of problem with it too.

However, someone who learned "about memory management, virtual memory, I/O subsystems, CPU schedulers" should have easy time to get up to speed in same stack as bootcamp graduate. Bootcamp graduates have to learn basic concepts during bootcamp (that computer follows instructions, how conditions and loops work, how to debug systematically, how to split task to smaller ones, etc). CS graduate shold match them in short time.
As if you start with old browsers, you limit yourself to their capabilities.

In my experience the design of a website is often done without a browser in mind at all. A designer uses an application like Sketch or Photoshop to mock up what the site should look like, and once the client has signed off a web designer/developer figures out how to build it in a way that works in all the target browsers. Starting with what the browser can do sounds like a much better approach, but that's going to take a paradigm shift in what both designers do and what clients expect. I can't help but think that's going to limit adoption of 'new browser first' for a long while.

Isn't it funny that wired, whose editor Poulsen was personally responsible for taking down manning and putting him in solitary confinement for a decade, because he opened the eyes of the world to american military procedures, feels the need to talk about and recommend encryption.

You're gonna have a bad time if you are comparing cryptocurrency to metals. There are dozens of currencies that are widely used at the moment, and I'm willing to bet over the next 2-4 years we will get into the hundreds. Your cryptocurrency isn't valued because its rare, it's because everyone else is buying into the same coin. It only takes one new currency to come in and be better than YOURS to reduce its demand and subsequent value - no matter how rare your coins are. It's a stock market not a gold coin collection.
That's a little misleading. Yes, in absolute numbers, the US absorbs more immigrants; but that's kind of a pointless statement - obviously the absolute number of immigrants is highly correlated with the countries size (probably both in habitable area and in terms of current population). Amongst countries with similar development levels, the US immigration isn't particularly unusual.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_d...

As a fraction of the total, many economically very roughly comparable countries are fairly similar:

Ireland: 15.9
Austria: 15.2
Germany: 14.9
United States: 14.3
Sweden: 14.3
Spain:	14
Norway: 13.8
United Kingdom 13.2

Looking a little more broadly, some countries have a higher proportion:

Saudi Arabia: 31.4
Switzerland: 28.9
Australia: 27.7
Israel: 26.5
Canada: 20.7

And then there some pretty extreme cases:

United Arab Emirates: 83.7 (even in absolute numbers, this is an impressive number)
Kuwait: 70

And the other extreme:

China: 0.1
Indonesia: 0.1
India: 0.4
Brazil: 0.9
Japan: 1.9
Pakistan: 2.2

It's fair to say that immigration has had a special impact on the US over its history, and of course the policy of treating all children born in the US as citizens is unusual (though it shouldn't be!). But in relative terms, the number of immigrants isn't particularly large.

I am Blanc Oscar and i am 64 years old. I has a job were i was paid $5 per hour which required me to work really hard to get a good pay to be able to meet my bills. At this age i had no retirement plan, no insurance and a bad credit. I was in debts.I searched the internet for jobs and later decided t search on investments that i can do with little money. I saw Western Union hack investment, though skeptical, i dived into it because i needed the money badly. I was told to put some amount of money in and after a few days, i would get a huge return. I decided to invest $1,000 which i got as loan from a friend. And amazingly I got $10,000 afterwards from the investment. I am so glad i did do it. I have been able to settle all my debts, and i am able to pay my bills. We have move to Las Vegas me and my family and life is really for s now. Thanks to this group of hackers. The email of the hackers where i invested is guaranteedhackers@gmail.com and their website is https://goo.gl/bxNC1U
Numbers matter. If you go from 95% to 99% that's massive progress. So saying someone or some people is meaningless.

Sorry but there are lot of people starving before and after the change. Simply blaming a software is doing a disservice to the issues at hand.
With that concept, everything is always possible. "Can you do X with Y and Z?" -> "Yes but change Y and Z and then X is possible".
Yeah, I tend to think that we're all looking for an alternative to the looming destruction of the Internet that is inevitably going to happen when Net-neutrality dies.

As an older user, I'd love it if we could figure out a way to resurrect Minitel/Teletext and use it as a way of routing around the damage that is coming from the political classes.

If you sell goods or services online then the different VAT rules becomes a hard problem once you reach the scale where your EU sales are more than a trickle but not large enough to have a presence in each country. This is quite a big part of online commerce.
Another problem is if a designer used to be a web developer 10 years ago, or has limited knowledge of what's possible, and limits the design to what they think is easier to accomplish.

I prefer an uncompromised design and a designer that accepts my feedback and/or that I make adjustments if some design will take an unreasonable amount of time to implement or will have bad performance.

>Ok, so what? Both you and you rival have something to sell. If I don't buy it from you, I buy it from your rival.

It's not a one time transaction. If they buy slaves from your rivals, they have more money to spend on arms and a need for more people to sell. So refusing wasn't a safe option, creating a larger demand changed the game dramatically.

>In a nutshell, Europeans didn't turn that people into chattel slaves, they where turned into that by the other natives that enslaved them.

You could sell a debt slave with the thought the new owner would abide by the same rules. Or if slaves were treated as members of your household with an free children and a general path back to freedom, you might expect the buyer does the same. If you don't view people as property, you won't expect what someone buying them will do.

>Yes, the 10% that only occurred for a short time compared to the rest of the all Europe and because you keep accounting for people passing by than only spent there some weeks (i.e. the slaves waiting to be sold).

Source? As given how poorly Portugal looks in the slave trade, the last ship of slaves being Portugese to Brazil, that is hard to believe. And are you really happy with the argument "Portugal shouldn't overly acknowledge the slave trade, they barely kept any in the mainland while profiting off their sale and work for centuries."
As someone who regularly bought eBooks from them, and kept their epub versions on my laptop, their new self as "ebook rental" does not interest me.

OK, I see that AMC-9 is flashing at a more-or-less regular rate, throughout the video clip. But other geostationary satellites in the field, such as the four bright ones near the beginning of the clip, don't flash. This is because AMC-9 is spinning, right? Some flat surface, perhaps the PV array, is reflecting more of the sun's light.

I'm guessing that some of the attitude-control thrusters malfunctioned. Maybe that's what rendered the satellite unresponsive.

But in any case, excessive rotation could fragment the satellite. From the observed rotation rate and the size of the satellite, one could estimate a range of relative fragment velocities. And if one knew the video's angular field of view, one could estimate observed relative fragment velocities. I don't know that, but they seem smaller than velocity differences between AMC-9 and other geostationary satellites.

Interesting. Personally, I found the observation about the pulsations of the jellyfish quite insightful and a good and very short counterargument against the quoted opinion.

There are other texts too on the page, which you may find better. I can only say that in all the language communities Richard used to post and still posts (notably Prolog and Erlang) he enjoys tremendous respect and is known for his technical expertise on very diverse topics. He is definitely a top-notch computer scientist and instructor who enjoys worldwide recognition in the relevant circles.

It depends on the angle at which you hit the debris with the laser, as well as the shape of the debris.

The idea is, generally, to hit the debris at an angle as it approaches you (bottom front of you may)[1]. Depending on the shape of the object as well as the material of the surface, you'll be able to transfer enough momentum to actually slow it down as well as nudge it further (loss of mass?) out into a new orbit with a low enough perigee.

It's obviously not easy to predict the new orbit because debris comes in very different shapes, and of many different materials.

Also, because there's a transfer of energy, the part of its original Vx is lost in the process (the laser is deflected at an angle). There's no loss of total Vx (sum of laser Vx and debris Vx) however.

1: See figure 3 in page 6 of this pdf (the laser at an angle). https://arxiv.org/pdf/1004.0390
I read another article yesterday with Vector gushing about being able to launch two per week and just thought 'more space-junk' and that's just the delivery system. Some of these are launching multiple payloads - some no bigger than a briefcase. We need some sort of international treaty on corridors and such. Anything in the flight corridor gets the laser tractor beam.

Yeah, I suppose for the end user I doesn't matter if program stopped working because of segmentation fault or a panic.
Though, if one were to choose on of those issues, then obviously runtime errors are preferable over memory-safety problems that might lead to an arbitrary code execution.

BTW, in Java data races do not cause undefined-behaviour.
In fact there is no undefined behaviour in Java at all (as specified at least, in practice as you and many others have observed things may work quite differently).
If you're bound by memory throughput, you can't go beyond a 2x speedup (there's 1/2 as much data to move in an 8b format, whether it's in vectors or matrices doesn't matter). I still don't see any reasonable expectation for 4x.

The number given in support of the above statement is the annual GDP growth rate. However, as I understand, this is before adjustment for inflation, which also is high in India. I have been unable to find the numbers for inflation-adjusted "real" GDP [1] for India and other countries. Is India still the fastest growing economy when the real GDP is considered?
