I'm not sure why you are saying this as if you're defending Coinbase. Warning someone you're going to seize their assets a month in advance doesn't make it any better for them when their assets get seized.

I'm not saying Coinbase is somehow ethically wrong for doing this, I'm saying that one benefit of decentralization is that no one can seize your assets.
"The median seed deal is now $1.6 million, according to Pitchbook, up from about $500,000 five years ago. That's more in line with what big venture firms used to invest."

Cost of living, office space, employees (due to the cost of living) has to be a factor here. Maybe $500k was viable a few years ago in the Bay Area, but imagine these days a company NEEDS a larger seed round in order to get to a viable state.

Stripe is US only and very bad charge back fees and worst dispute resolution. After losing a lot of money by using Stripe as a small time side projector, I recommend using PayPal, they have all that Stripe provides. I don't understand why people go behind Stripe. Because Stripe is cool ? Paypal has everything Stripe has plus zero dispute fees. Stripe has 15$ fees. You will feel the burn when you have lot of disputes which are common. Stripe has statistically favoured customers in disputes
as far as my sales. So I ditched Stripe way back. Let Stripe be equal to PayPal. Otherwise using Stripe do not give you much advantage.

Edit: Stripe is not US only, but the countries that they support is very limited. Not recommended if your product has worldwide customers.

It will start off very slowly. I'd argue we're already doing "genetic engineering" on a small scale with IVF. At some point, the IVF clinics will start offering "screening" for incrementally less harmful diseases, disorders and traits. And then it's a small step from that to simply picking "the best" embryos. E.g. They'll "filter-out" all the embryos that will end up being very short. Then they'll filter out all the embryos that are "most-likely" to be below-average in intelligence, or most-likely to be mentally challenged, etc.

Even if it isn't down-right engineering/splicing/etc, and using only the parents' egg/sperm combinations, they can still offer to "move our society" forward at a snail pace.

I personally see no reason to be against it, as it's the logical extension of natural evolution. It's just more refined, scientific, guided, and devoid of some of the randomness or trial-by-error properties that are inherent with natural evolution.
"Monopoly on violence" means "monopoly on determining who may use violence legally", not "is the only one whose employees may legally use violence."

If the state says, "Alice, you can arrest Bob and bring him in", and Alice is not a sworn police officer, that is not ceding the state's monopoly on violence. (The state would, of course, have liability for whatever their authorized Alice to do.)

If you have transferred funds to Coinbase and bought a Bitcoin, Coinbase owes you 1 BTC. That is your claim against them. Nothing else.

They do not own you Clams or Stellars or Byteball or any other token that you did not buy.

Keep in mind that this is the fourth coin to be initally distributed to the Bitcoin UTXO set this year alone. If anything, supporting one but not the other would increase their risk exposure, legally as well as support wise. Every token carries risk.
I just randomly came across this very relevant TED talk given by a prison inmate yesterday:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F89eycANUrQ

I definitely feel that American prison policy leans way too far on the side of moral judgement and retribution than rehabilitation. In my personal opinion, anyone who has served their term has already paid for their mistakes and we, as a society, should be more concerned with helping them get back on their feet than with further punishing them for their mistakes.

I also think the practice of denying former felons the right to vote is completely ridiculous. So if you commit a felony at 18, you can't vote even when you're a 100? What kind of sense does that make?

If you pay attention to malware analysis you will see raw IP addresses and random domains are very common in malware. I think corps should enable their outbound firewalls. Problem now is whitelisting each IP is way too much work.

My tests show a C++ DNS proxy can be used to whitelist IP addresses to ipset hash in iptables just before the DNS proxy responds to client. Raw IPs are now blocked and firewall outbound is coupled to your trusted DNS provider.

This would massively reduce attack surface to domains your org regularly uses. Not resolving new / young domains is important here.

At this point we can blame DNS and the firewall!

How unsurprising. Firstly, for most professions there are plenty of resources documenting what typical salaries are for degree/experience, so if you end up making less than that, well that seems like that is on you.

It flies in the face of economic common sense that if you could hire an equally skilled women and they would consistently accept 75% the pay as a man, then companies would have taken advantage of that fact. Just like they do with lower paid immigrant workers.
People trading BTC for USD seem to think otherwise. The BCH fork had no serious impact on the value of BTC. Holders of BTC are not confident that BCH will be successful.

Yet, if we were to take BCH's $400/coin at face value, then splitting BTC into BCH just created $340 of value, per coin in existence.

If I gave everyone who currently had a US dollar a 'Vkou-dollar', would I have created even a penny of value? What if there was one exchange, where Vkou-dollars were trading at 20 cents (With no liquidity)? Would you accept that valuation uncritically?

If so, I'm looking for a co-founder.

There are advantages:

Long Lisp expressions break into multiple indented lines according to a couple of very easy rules:

(- (/ (+ 1 3 ;; sideways tree [-] --- [/] --- [+] -- 1 3
8 8) ;; | | `- 8 8
2) ;; | ` 2
8) ;; `- 8

by contrast, there is any satisfactory, canonical way to break up infix into multiple lines (with excellent support from editors like Emacs and Vim). Thus, Lisp expressions can be longer while remaining understandable. (Which is important because entire function definitions, for instance, are really one big expression.)

There is no ambiguity in Lisp expressions. The parentheses are not optional grouping punctuators, but operators denoting operator application (analogous to the parentheses in f(x, y)). You never, ever have to grapple with "what is the precedence/associativity of this?" or "I know the precedence/associativity of this, but did the person who wrote this intend it that way?"

Sufficiently long expressions are hard to read in any notation. Just like in any language, Lisp programs break down complex calculations with intermediate variables:

(let ((bytes (+ 1 3 8 8)) ;; what is this term? Oh, bytes
(words (/ bytes 2)) ;; why divide it by two? Ah 16 bit words
(size (- words 8))) ;; Why subtract? Account for some header or special offset.
...)

> Do you just get used to this

What happens is that you have to get used to working with big, nested prefix expressions: because that's what functions are. A 200 line function in Lisp is a 200 line nested expression. You find that this it is perfectly manageable and you even like it. You get used to structuring code that way, and then that all applies to arithmetic expressions also, which are just more of the same thing. Given that you're able to cope with big functions made up of that sort of syntax, you are then not fazed by some five node arithmetic subexpression.
Node, Docker and the Theory of Relativity – Burke Knows Words – Medium
That larger topic is indeed a touchy one. I tend to have a controversial stance in that discussion, so I do get plenty of down votes on it. Somehow, people feel very strongly about about adults' "rights" to procreate. Even if that right results in the involvement of an unwitting participant who then leads a very short life of struggling.

It's actually very saddening to watch a completely avoidable & preventable problem, whose N-amount of obvious solutions end up being shoved under the rug because we refuse to draw the line.
I meant like truly admin, amazon intranet admin.
I read an interesting theory this morning:

Because there is greatly reduced liquidity of BCH (most exchanges don't support, hard/slow to deposit into exchanges that do), supply of BCH is artificially limited at the moment. Proponents of BCH can trade their BTC for BCH at a rate greater than they believe it is worth to easily pump the value and 'market cap' (most market cap stats have no measure of this 'locked supply') to make BCH appear more popular than it is at a fraction of the price that would be necessary if selling was easy. This could sway more miners to choose to mine BCH over BTC, and in doing so, actually increase the real value of BCH.

As a fresh graduate, the most important factor is the cash. As one of the replies mentioned, when you get older you will look for benefits. So posting the range will save time for the company and the candidate. Several times I decline offers that took a lot of time and interview because their pay was no where I was expecting and it was not appropriate to ask at first. So I start looking on jobs that actually post their range to save my time.

> Women are less likely to negotiate salary and assert themselves, as women in general are more agreeable than men. Is this behavior based in biology or is it social construct?

Something to consider, though I can't back it up: Perhaps the whole method of determining salary, the negotiation process, is a social construct. I mean, it is a social construct almost by definition, but maybe that process, and many other constructs of the business world, are creations of an era when business was populated by men and when therefore the processes and customs naturally were based on the way men interact.

Sometimes I try to think of it this way: If the business world had been populated only by women for generations, and if men were now trying to break in, how would things be different? Perhaps an aggressive negotiating style would be unprofessional, and people would say that men don't get equal salaries not because of discrimination, but because they don't represent themselves well.

Yeah, it's just my opinion tempered with experience.

Is the pluralization rule literally as simple as stated in the article, namely appending an 's' and calling it done? English is rarely so simple and there are tons of corner cases which is why I tend to frown on the pluralization rules that are unpredictable. Those must be a nightmare for English-as-a-second-language folks too.

> Mind boggling that Canadian law constructed a civil no-notice (i.e. unappealable) instrument with third-party enforcement. That literally cedes the state's monopoly on violence.

No, the monopoly on the legitimated use of force (“monopoly on violence” in popular alternative, though less clear, phrasing) is not ceded when the State legitimizes force applied by entities that are not full-time agents of the State.

It's only ceded when the State allows some other entity to become accepted as legitimately (in the eyes of the people) able to exercise or authorize force without regard to the rules and procedures of the State.

Planetary protection officer wanted, generous salary
civilian has a point, but what would fix my model, I believe, is that good hiring practices is one among a myriad of variables that affect the bottomline.

Business books for ages are trying to give the "formula" to make a business success (and no one succeeded). It is irrealistic to assume that a company with undoubtably better hiring practices would necessarily and immediatelly (or in a short term) beat the competitors with worse hiring practices.

This even assuming the company would be hiring more productive employees. If the assumption is that it is the same productivity but less cost (as it is in the case we are discussing), the impact at the bottomline is even more diluted.

EDIT: I would add that if the impact was such straightforward and objectively measured it would be much easier to fight it as a society. This (how subjective is to measure productivity and business impact of knowledge workers) is the may reason why we are discussing pay gap as a gender issue and not still voting rights)

Genetic engineering isn't about to give anyone an "increased chance of survival." Unless you have a genetic disease, then it's ok. The population of earth isn't going to start decreasing anytime soon. Unchecked genetic engineering reducing natural genetic diversity might actually reduce the population of earth.

I don't understand what "halting" evolution means. Evolution as a process, through natural selection, is at work and will still be working when you have or don't have genetic engineering.

Also, trading personal and societal freedom for some notion of "increased chance of survival" isn't a trade-off you want to be making. Would you rather be free or live longer?
"Let's assume for the sake of argument that women and men are equally likely to "harass" someone, and let's say that likelihood is 10%."

You've done good math (I think?) on a false premise.

People harass other people when the environment is open to it or encourages it. That seems to happen in a lot of male-dominated environments.

People aren't compelled to harass or not in a pre-programmed way and they don't do it evenly no matter what surrounds them. They respond to incentives and their surroundings.

It's hard to put a value on the deal [1]. But -

Using the rankings of CA's largest to smallest [2], the first public CA is GoDaddy (W2Techs 2016 Survey), which has a range of services. They show GoDaddy to be 11.8% of the market, with Symantec at 26%. So Symantec is 220% larger. I'm too lazy to estimate GoDaddy's CA business from their financials, I didn't see anything obvious in their financials to make it easier.

GoDaddy's public valuation at this time is 7.27B [3], and if we scale up GoDaddy Market Cap to Symantec's size, and only account 20% [4] to the CA business: 7.27B * (26/11.8) * .2 = ~3.2B (Symantic CA Business)

If we use DigiCert, and try to GoDaddy's market cap down to DigiCerts market share (3.0%) [2]. Then you end up with 7.27B * (3.0/11.8) * .2 = ~370M (DigiCert Current Valuation)

However, DigiCert becomes number two CA provider overnight, to 29%, which rockets their value up (maybe?), by our same math, they are now 245% the size of GoDaddy from a cert perspective, 7.27B * ((26 + 3)/11.8) * .2 = ~3.57B (DigiCert + Symantec Business) [5].

So Symantec ends up with 950m cash and 1.07B DigiCert holdings (3.57B * .3 = 1.07B), or ~1.957B of value.

That'd mean Symantec is taking 2/3rds (~1b hit) - that feels like a pretty solid deterrent?
