Also, it's just trading one class of problems for another. Rather than supporting a compiled binary you need to support the entire build environment for every customer; having worked at a vendor who did that in the 90s I'm deeply skeptical that it would be an improvement.

There's a rich history of this in the securities world. Note that many times across multiple countries, joint-stock companies' stock ended up becoming interchangeable with government- or metal-backed currency. John Law's currency scheme for France was a sale of stock and bills, not modern cash [1].

I've been investing in this space since 2012. "Investing" in the loosest sense of the term, because I was simply looking for ways to grow my bitcoin stash. It started out as a naive attempt at diversification. In reality, I had no clue what I was doing, lost a lot of bitcoin to scam investments, made some bitcoin on fruitful investments. I became diligent and conservative with my bitcoin over time and ethereum happened to be one of the investments I made in 2014. I look at my ethereum presale investment as dumb luck.

Long before the term ICO was coined (no pun intended), there were multiple markets for bitcoin securities dating back to 2012 - possibly earlier. I am referring to business ventures here, not clones of the bitcoin repo with a modified PoW mechanism or similar. There were many scams for every one legitimate venture. Many legitimate ventures eventually mutated into scams. Investors that started out as bitcoin maximalists were often crying to the SEC for help getting their bitcoin back. Some of those ventures run to this day.

The market was chump change back then. Tens of millions maybe. With ERC20 and ICO mania, we have front row seats for failure on a grand scale. The exuberance is terrifying to me given what I experienced years ago with bitcoin securities. For that reason I stopped making investments in May and started doing some real diversification. For many investors, ICOs will be their first taste of "a fool and his money are soon parted." For many projects who have conducted an offering, ICOs will be their first taste of what it's like when the SEC come knockin'.

I'm quite sure there will be some success stories a few years down the line, but they will be accompanied by a plethora of scams and all the media attention that comes with bad news. I think this form of funding is a vague peek into the future of project funding. Ethereum is not necessarily the specific answer, and the ICO framework will have to burn to the ground a few times before it evolves into something useful.
AFAIK there is no sales tax for online services in USA, wherever you sell or buy. In EU it is complicated as you have to charge online buyer with his country VAT and then reconcile this thru provider's country revenue VATMOSS. EU has 28 member states with differing VAT rules, add to this burden of proof to ensure where the buyer is located (two non-contradictory proofs) then you may understand why it was named #VATMESS.

It depends which Model S you buy though.

It's possible to spec one well north of 100k (isn't a P100D around 140ish?), at which point comparisons to S-classes and 7 series and so on surely must cross the minds of some buyers. I completely agree regarding cabin quality though.

I reported multiple bugs in Codewars for Javascript, and created one of the hardest katas with anti-cheat here(https://www.codewars.com/kata/mystery-function-number-2). The founder remarks that Codewars has sanity checks if you are meddling with the test system and will punish you if you abuse it too much. Testing out one or two cheats is okay, using it for too much katas will get you banned.
Since it's The Economist, I'm surprised they didn't mention one of the most common misleading metaphors I see floating around: that of equating sovereign debt to credit card or household debt. It's used constantly by both Internet commentators and politicians, and it needs to die as soon as possible, because it's completely wrong and leads you to policy conclusions that are the exact opposite of what you need to do.
Localeur | Front-end Developer | Austin, TX | Contract to hire | https://www.localeur.com

Localeur is a curated community of local insiders who want to help you experience local in their city. While review sites lack authenticity and local credibility, and travel guide books go out of date the moment they’re published, Localeur gives you a real look into what it’s like to be a local. If it’s not local, it’s not on Localeur.

Since launching Localeur in 2013, our mission has been to help people experience local wherever they go. We are passionate about helping people feel like they belong and experiencing the true culture of a city, rather than the tourist traps and chains. Quality, authenticity and integrity are paramount to us achieving this mission.

We are looking for a great JavaScript developer who is proficient with React.js. Your primary focus will be on developing user interface components and implementing them following well-known React.js workflows (such as Flux or Redux). You will ensure that these components and the overall application are robust and easy to maintain. You will coordinate with the rest of the team working on different layers of the infrastructure. Therefore, a commitment to collaborative problem solving, sophisticated design and quality product is important.

Please send any resumes and sample apps to moody@localeur.com

Yes, a whole bunch of sunk costs.

The internal combustion engine is fantastically cheap for what it entails. It's as complicated as a bloody rocket engine, but an entire vehicle can be bought for a few months California rent. It took literally trillions to engineer it to what we have today. Companies don't want to abandon that investment.

And yet... That's what they'll have to do. The electric car will be so much cheaper to make (and is so much cheaper to operate and maintain) due to its fundamental simplicity that as soon as battery costs get lower, nearly everyone will be forced to transition to electric.
A Ponzi scheme would be impossible, no ICO buyers are paid dividends of any kind.

Seems much closer in price to your parent's list than your list, though the reality is it's somewhere in the middle:

3 Series - $33,450 (-34,550)
C Class - $39,500 (-28,500)
5 Series - $51,200 (-16,800)
Model S - $68,000
6 Series - $77,600 (+9,600)
Porsche Panamera - $78,100 (+10,100)
7 Series - $81,500 (+13,500)
S Class - $96,600 (+28,600)

Edit: With the US federal tax credit of $7,500, it comes down closer to the bottom list, but still in the middle.
My point is there are specific, narrow things we could be doing; it's not grounds for a general-purpose industrial/military buildup (which frankly sounds suspiciously like an excuse to carry on with business-as-usual rather than doing anything hard).
I wish we were more careful distinguishing between "life" and "alien civilization." Alien civilizations may not be alive: they may be robots, etc.

This is important, because if we look specifically for life, it limits the scope of our imagination and search. It's SETI, not SETIL.

People.ai, Inc. | Engineering/Sales/Customer Support | SF | ONSITE | https://people.ai

People don’t quit their jobs, they quit their managers. Everyone has had a manager that makes them want to call in sick. Everyone has had a manager who regularly forces their team to chase their own tail doing meaningless work.

Why? Because most managers manage their teams blindly. They don't hire, coach and promote based on data. Instead, they make decisions based on their gut. These decisions are made because managers don’t have the data to make smarter, more informed decisions when it comes to managing.

Not anymore. At People.ai we’re helping managers make decisions about their team based on data, not intuition. We’re starting with sales teams because they’re a particularly notorious black box. No manager today can definitively say what makes a “top performer” better than a “low performer.” People.ai is solving this dilemma by making sales management transparent and building the world’s first predictive sales management platform, powered by AI.

People.ai was part of the YC S’16 batch, launched the product in July of this year and was the first company in the batch to raise a Series A. Less than three months after our launch we’re already being used by sales teams at 50+ blue chip companies including Rubrik, Gainsight, Mulesoft and Optimizely.

We have a 10+ person team and are actively looking for Senior Front-end and Back end Engineers to join us. Our team needs someone with full-stack/backend development experience as well as a deep background in Python, Linux, AWS, REST APIs and machine learning. Salesforce API experience is a plus!

Our Sales team is looking for Enterprise Account Executives and Sales Development Representatives. A background in on-demand/SaaS, CRM, SFA or marketing software sales is strongly preferred. You must have a proven record of consistently meeting and exceeding quota in a fast-paced, competitive sales environment.

Our Customer Success team is looking for a Customer Support Manager. This person will be responsible for managing customer support requests via email, chat and phone and helping to build a world-class customer support organization. Prior experience with Zendesk, Intercom, Jira, Salesforce Service Cloud, etc. is a plus!

This isn’t just another job. Your input will be incredibly important as we’re currently shifting from to a microservices architecture. You’ll have an opportunity to make a major impact on a number of our microservices and ML/big data infrastructure as we are turning our MVP into a massively scalable product. Find out what makes us special in this blog, We the People: Why You Should Join People.ai.

Work out of our SOMA/San Francisco offices. We offer a competitive salary with equity, health benefits, a cool company culture, lunches, free snacks and drinks. No remote applicants.

Join us as we work towards quantifying people management!

Time to add one more reason to the list of reasons I don't use facebook.
Ethereum has no "play" here, it isn't a platform made for token sales (aka "icos"), it's a generalistic platform that happens to have projects that do this sort of token sales.
Spoken like someone with plenty of money in the bank, which is of course a luxurious position to find yourself in. And in those circumstances I agree with you.

But the above doesn't hold for everyone, and thus I don't in general agree with your assessment.
Just assume that the tech giants will copy you, and figure out how to execute better than they can. Google created Google+ to compete with Facebook, look how that turned out.Google has tried several times to build a great smart phone.
Don't worry about big tech companies, worry about nimble startups trying to copy you. Just build a better product, and build it first.

The right thing to do is it wait until all the conclusive evidence is in. It is anti-science to not think about the corporate bottom line.

It _may_ not be caused by the pesticide, changing or stopping the use of the pesticide could not be necessary and then we would have accidentally saved the world while having less profit.
P is a kind of likelihood with very strong assumption. Likelihood of type 1 error (accidentally getting a result) if error distribution matches student t squared - if you are using the Fischer test to compute it. (ANOVA that is.) And if the hypotheses are independent which is supposed to be the case for null.

Specifically a logarithm of a likelihood ratio of two hypotheses given the assumption.

Note specific three ifs. Then read what the difference between likelihood and probability is before correcting people. Or what a difference is between likelihood and likelihood ratio is.

(Not much in case of null hypothesis testing, unless you didn't check the null to be true in untreated population. Or how true it is, as in didn't get likelihood for placebo. You get the actual likelihood approximation from Wilks' theorem after relating F distribution to chi squared.)

Now this fails if:

The actual distribution of the observations is not close to T or normal. (There are some more technical reasons, this is a shorthand.) For example multimodal or highly skewed. This is typically glossed over. (Will usually cause a false positive.) Has to be checked for null too.

The hypotheses are related. (Say multiple observations over different dosages.) There are different tests that should be used instead.

A few more technical reasons.
This is a little different for electric cars, though. Have a look at their current top speeds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electric_cars_currentl...

Many max out at only ~130 km/h (~80 mph), most don’t reach 150 km/h (90 mph).

The models described in the wiki table are also the maximum power versions of those cars. There are lower versions which don’t even get to this velocity.
>Arguably, though, if Bitcoin gains enough traction, it would affect the world too.

But even then, the ways in which it would affect the world is unpredictable and any predictions are pure speculation.

In 2011 people where thinking that when 1BTC reaches $1000 in value, there would be mass adoption and it will be used as a currency for mundane everyday purchases. Well that didn't happen and it doesn't seem like Bitcoin will ever be use in that way.
Agree with your main point, but I think the remittance problem is just as tricky if not more: the BTC MPesa gateway exists (https://www.bitpesa.co/), but so do plenty of reliable low commission ways of converting dollars in the US to MPesa overseas that don't involve exposure to Bitcoin and Bitcoin exchanges
It might even self replicate into intelligent colonies ...

I know nothing of OCaml culture or why the author is deemed worthy of having his name italicized, but the doctor comparison is upsetting. If the guy who wrote this:

I was tired of this problem, didn't know how to report those things (Intel doesn't have a public issue tracker like the rest of us), and suspected it was a problem with the specific machines at SIOU (e.g. a batch of flaky chips that got put in the wrong speed bin by accident).

were a doctor, he'd be guilty of malpractice. This bug went unreported eight months longer than it needed to. Am I misreading all this somehow?
