A March 21 term sheet stated that the company was worth $90 million. Authorities said Fyre Media earned less than $60,000.

How in the world could anyone believe this company was worth $90 million? It appears that looking for a plea deal might be in his best interest.

This is another example of a company/founder who misappropriated/misspent funds and cheated everyone along the way. These stories have become all too common.
Swift's tentative plan seems to be to have a level between regular swift and super unsafe swift with UnsafePointer and stuff where you can write fast, low level, but safe code like Rust.

In swift's case I'd think they would avoid too much complexity since the lifetime stuff won't be as pervasive as it is in Rust (so it can have more rough corners)

Turns out moderation and not a black and white this OR that platform is more resilient. Who knew?
Let's say there is a court case where the judge awards all shareholders of AAPL $100 of compensation for every share held (It's to the shareholders, but not the company, because the court case involved shareholders vs management). The government sends $100 per share to each registered holder. Your investment fund is the registered holder of AAPL securities instead of you. Do you get $100 per share that was held on your behalf, or do the operators of the investment fund get it?
Hmm, that seems to imply that you can't optimize for semantics and syntax at the same time.

How Canada became an education superpower
Though to be fair, arranged marriages are pretty common in Japan. Several of my friends have arranged marriages and are as happy as any other couple I know. I suppose you can think of it like online dating, where there is also an expectation that both parties are looking to get married. It would not surprise me at all that a company would pay the fees for a match maker if being single was causing a valued employee emotional distress. Especially foreign workers don't have family to take care of this kind of thing (sometimes parents will intervene and contact a match maker if they feel that their child is taking too long to get married).

I've never been a full time worker in Japan, except in my own consulting company (obviously -- otherwise I would still be there ;-) ). But with a 1 year renewable contract (the normal way to work if you are not a full time employee), I was surprised at the extent to which the company takes care of you. It's nice if you are like me where you want to concentrate on work, but I've known people who get frustrated by what they see as an intrusion on their personal affairs.

When I was working at the high school where I taught English, several times I had conversations with the vice principal who felt that me being single past the age of 40 was a problem. He even sent me to talk to the nurse so that she could explain how Japanese relationships work and impress upon me the importance of taking things seriously.

And... well... I listened. And they were right. I got married to a Japanese woman who I was dating (not the nurse ;-) ). Not only has it made my life dramatically happier, but it's helped my job incredibly (even though I'm consulting IT related stuff instead of teaching English ;-) ). But it's kind of beyond weird have that kind of intervention at work...

You could ship SVGs and lazily generate PNGs for the specific device. Once it's generated, you keep it cached. Although it might be a little slower on the initial run. I guess it depends on your SVG's complexity.

Webkit does a fine job with SVGs. You could draw it on a <canvas> element to get a rasterized view of the SVG in the desired size, and save the resulting image.
THE SLEEPING BEAUTY TRILOGY BY ANNE RICE BOOK 1 REVIEW
I completely agree that a little bit of caution is important. That's not at all what the precautionary principle is. It says that before you do something, you must first prove that it's harmless.

This kind of proof is of course impossible, and in practice it means "never do anything".

The fun thing about is that people only advocate applying it to things they don't want to do, never on their own favorite projects

I think you're mostly listing ways that both insect and flower could survive before they both developed specific adaptations that aid in their mutual interaction. But I feel like the more satisfying answer is that very gradual changes in both species can eventually lead to two species that appear to be extremely codependent.

In this case, I would guess that even the tiniest proto-flowers that resulted from random mutations could just so happen to be discovered by insects with the tiniest random mutations that led them there.

> they should be optimized for the humans using them, not for the machines that run the programs or the compiler authors who create them.

Almost every high-level language espouses this goal -- even something as seemingly esoteric as J specifically does. Which is to say, your argument assumes that python's syntax is somehow more suited to humans, but I think you'd be hard pressed to back that up with evidence. Clearly it feels more natural to you, but why? It's hard to control for familiarity even in your own personal case, let alone programmers in general.

Apart from maybe simple shapes and fills, I think there is little value in adding a complete object-oriented library of scriptable graphics elements into a UI layout / widget language.

For custom drawing needs (charts, data plots, diagrams, etc.), you could use QML Canvas, Context2D and Context3D which offer far greater flexibility with their immediate mode APIs than an object-oriented API could ever provide.
TransferWise's Borderless Account Explained| Infographic
Pretty cool new service from TransferWise. Multi-currency account that rivals Payoneer. Well worth a look.. only released to UK customers initially. I pity the compliance really.
I would agree, and I would add that people seem to be ignoring that BCH is extremely unstable right now. They've only mined ~18 blocks since inception two days ago (Normal is ~144/day), and the fact that a single Reddit post was capable of keeping miners for mining for a full 12 hours seems to indicate that the hashing power is hardly distributed. Even exchanges that are supporting BCH aren't allowing deposits or withdrawals right now for this reason.

So even if Coinbase did allow people to withdraw BCH, they currently couldn't use it for anything (Because Coinbase is not trading BCH), and they'd be waiting hours or more likely days to reach enough confirmations to have any sense of security over the coins. So doing something about it now vs. considering doing something about it in a couple days after the dust settles makes little difference.
Smalltalk and Lisp work that way as well; operator precedence is an illogical hangover from the blackboard and chalk era; it's a needless complication that greatly simplifies both the language and understanding when removed.
FuseSport | Lead front-end engineer | Sydney, Australia | Full-time, onsite | $110k-$130k++

We're an established, funded player providing software for sports events across USA and Australia. Our aim is to connect sports organisers, athletes, supporters, and volunteers, with the best app in the world. We're working with the likes of ESPN and Microsoft, and we have offices in Sydney, Colorado, and Washington DC.

Our dev team is currently just six, and we are looking for someone to lead the front-end/app side of what is an ambitious, comprehensive new platform. You'll be working with our CTO and back-end Python guy, another React gun we have on the team, and once you've gotten underway (or possibly sooner!) we plan to hire another front-end developer (or two) to help you.

The stack is Python/Django, React, React Native; but that's not set in stone yet, so there's still opportunity to help make some of those key decisions with us (eg Redux vs Mobx, debate React vs Angular vs Vue vs Aurelia, and so on).

It's in French but you can enable English subtitles and those seem pretty good.

As for getting better as an artist in my opinion nothing beats just practicing a bit everyday and knowing what your tools can do for you. Having some knowledge about fundamentals like composition, balance and color harmonies will also help a lot. You can find a ton of tutorials about these subjects on youtube.

Edit: I just noticed that the second part of the course doesn't have any subtitles yet. It's a shame but it's probably still worth quickly scrolling through it to get an idea about what the software can do.

> Ok so how on earth does the fact that derivatives permitted the tulip Bubble is an argument in favor of derivatives?

It's not, not was I making an argument in favour of derivatives. (I'm generally in favour of them; I just wasn't making that argument.)

Rather, I was responding to your argument, which I would paraphrase (I hope not unfairly) as "I hate these new inventions, we should go back to before they existed, when markets worked properly!" by which I suspect you meant the 1950s, but really it's the 1550s. :) (And given how different markets were back then, I'd even go further and say there has never been a time when markets worked the way you imagine. I'm not even sure they could.)

In short, if you don't understand the history of financial markets, your conclusions based on your flawed understanding of that history will have greatly diminished value.

> old does not always equal good

Quite right. But it's very different to say "the last 500 years have been a mistake" versus "the last 50 years" or (especially) "the last 5 years". For one thing, it's a lot harder to imagine the counterfactual.

I can guess what the world would be like if the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act had never passed (probably very similar to the current day, but again, that's a separate argument); I can't imagine what the world would be like without derivatives, because they have been a part of the past 500 years of development of our economy, laws, and culture. A change of that magnitude requires extraordinary justification.
That definition came in well over a century after the Second Amendment was written (1956, as far as I can tell), and so should have no bearing on interpretation of the founders' intent.

Buying Drugs Online – Silk Road Drugs
> "Ripe for disruption" is just "lots of laws we can ignore"

On the whole, I think society probably benefits from this kind of edge testing. I certainly don't encourage it. And taking on federal or state laws is a different game (legal and moral liability-wise) from challenging municipal codes, particularly when people get hurt.

But Uber challenging the taxi industry forced everyone to take out the rulebook and reconsider what is and isn't truly necessary. Something similar is happening with hotels. One could argue, with Bitcoin et al, too.
I think it's helped they are all pretty much centrists who favor free enterprise and don't go about nationalizing domestic or foreign companies --and don't engage in typical caudilo practices much of the southern cone suffers from.

AFAIK in most countries the plea bargain is not allowed as it is considered a violation of the accused's civil rights as well as a violation of justice.

Civil rights because of the inherent asymmetry of power (violation of the Geneva convention on torture since you're getting a confession, whether legitimate or not, under threat of force).

Violation of justice because if the person is found based on the evidence to be guilty then they should get the appropriate sentence; if not they should not. In theory the plea bargain is "clemency for taking responsibility and admitting guilt" -- in practice it of course is not. And someone who pleads guilty without a prior agreement will be at a disadvantage, again leading one to believe that the plea bargain case is for the innocent.
This sounds suspiciously similar to what JavaScript does.

This literally could have been one of the worst accidents in American aviation history had the pilots of the landing airplane failed to react in time. There were 4 fully loaded and fueled passenger jets directly ahead of them.
Before I couldn't imagine how anyone could make this mistake, but now I see it. The pilots were familiar with SFO and knew that there were two runways, but didn't realize the left hand runway lights were turned off, so they had an off-by-one error when choosing the runway.

You're (understandably) confusing a code fork with a chain fork:

Code fork: taking the source code from one project, modifying it, then offering the result as a new project. This is what the overwhelming majority of altcoins are. For example Litecoin is a five-year-old code fork of Bitcoin. Even though Litecoin's code is nearly identical to Bitcoin's, Litecoin from the beginning created its own blockchain, which shares no data with Bitcoin's blockchain.

Chain fork: taking the blockchain from one project, and adding new blocks to that chain that are not compatible with the chain's original style. Variations of this are soft forks (the block-adding rules are made more strict), and hard forks (the block-adding rules are made less strict). Both this week's BTC-BCH fork and last year's ETH-ETC fork were hard forks.

Complications: obviously, a chain fork requires changes to the relevant code to be able to work, so a chain fork usually comes with a code fork, but not necessarily. For example, theoretically, a completely new code base could be created from scratch in a clean-room kind of environment to add new kinds of blocks to an old blockchain.

You don't understand how large court cases work.

You're obligated to provide everything to the other side, doing so in a format that requires them to have a small army of people to read every line instead of being able to do a simple text search is exactly the point. There are even companies that specialize in taking large amounts of electronic data (email is a good example) and printing every single page so that opposing council ends up with enough paper to fill a room.
