> Regulation D is not an applicable exemption, neither is Filecoin's use of it, because the secondary markets where people are inevitably going to trade them have to be registered broker dealers to legally trade things that admit they are securities

Filecoin appears to be using Rule 506(c) of Regulation D, a § 4(a)(2) exemption. Also, you don't need to be a broker-dealer to issue, buy or sell unregistered securities. (You do need to be one if you're doing those things with others' securities [1].)

> The SEC tried to regulate commodities.

Commodities-trading regulation predates the SEC by over a decade [2]. Every time securities law were written, commodities laws were rewritten [3][4] to explicitly carve commodities out from securities laws. Both agencies compete in the swaps market, due to their shared jurisdiction over securities-based swaps [5][6], but there are deeper reasons behind the CFTC's independence than it making "no fucking sense for commerce." (The short answer has to do with geography and the competing power centers of New York and Chicago.)

> A new framework isn't out of the question

I agree. But it will probably take an act of Congress to do this. In the meantime, some promoters are violating the law.

Atom is built on Electron --
So is VSCode

GitHub integration is done very well --
Not nearly as well as the Git integration in VSCode

Also, Atom has in the past been much slower than VSCode in nearly every aspect.

VSCode has a built-in debugger which takes it dangerously close to being called a full-fledged IDE rather than just a text editor with plugins cough Atom cough

The reason they keep getting compared is really simple: they both aim to achieve the same goals, and both use a very similar approach.

One editor I haven't seen mentioned in a LONG while, though, that can probably be considered the 'grandfather' of both of these is Brackets. If I remember right, it had a lot of performance issues, as well.

I was working at a startup which had potential but had a very boring implementation of the vision (in my opinion).

After several pivots of the original idea in my head I came up with my side project which is thrice removed from the original idea.
Someone that is miserable is not exactly someone that is suffering from depression.

This research is for finding a clinical condition and make less expendable the cost of health programs, not to evaluate the life of others based just on opinions. Suicides are the second-leading cause of death among teenagers. But, some people are just "not a happy person". That doesn't mean that they are unhappy, sad or suffering from depression.

I really like this comics from Oatmeal that talk about that.

I agree that for the most part engines are extremely reliable. The potential downside here is that the compression mode makes the entire system more complicated. This might make the new system less reliable. I have every confidence that Mazda will do this right, and this has great potential to extend the lifetime of the ICE. However, it isn't without risks.
I suspect that when operation in compression-detonation mode, it will inject the fuel late enough into the compression stroke that the difference between 87 and 97 octane fuel won't be that big of a deal.

If it does make a difference then I would expect they would design for the higher octane rating gas to prevent user-error.
This line of thinking is very odd to me. As mentioned downthread, there are plenty of wonderful things you get out of YouTube, Google, Facebook, etc: music, personal connections, education, exploration, art, etc etc etc. The dopamine-kick stuff isn't inherent to the product: the efficiency of delivery just means that that stuff is easier to get. My usage of all these services is extremely healthy, and none of the complaints people have about addictiveness resonate with me at all; but I've also never been into idle TV watching, or junk food, or celebrity gossip. Unhealthy usage is not inherent to the product.

Advances in food production means that the proportion of people starving and undernourished is lower than ever. It also means that, for the first time, excess food is a problem for more than just kings. It would be kind of crazy to complain that these advances in food production are per se a bad thing because they enabled obesity. They're just a tool that accelerate both good and bad uses.

It was already possible to feed the idle, addiction-prone part of your mind with channel-surfing and People magazine. The Internet has accelerated this possibility by making everything about access to content more efficient, but describing efficiency solely as "making access to bad stuff" more efficient makes no sense.

To me it seems similar to blaming an advance in fuel efficiency for making it cheaper for bank robbers to get to their targets. It's true, but also missing the point.
Of currently available models, isn't that essentially ... one of them? And only in a straight line. Electrics have a ways to go before they're suitable candidates for things like track days.
> Would you find it equally problematic if someone said "Men have a harder time showing empathy"?

Showing "Men have a harder time showing empathy," or "women are less assertive" is a heck of a lot easier to study than "women have a harder time leading". The first two are personalities, and the third is a judgement of effectiveness of a job. Judging job effectiveness is highly subjective, and it is likely difficult to disentangle biological influences from societal influences for all three of these statements.

The latter statement also takes direct issue with the Civil Rights Act, which says you can't discriminate on the basis of sex, among other protected classes. It was a big deal to pass that law, and has withstood 50 years of society and litigation.

So, we know (1) the author thinks some women have a harder time leading and has put this in writing, (2) this is not supported by any data, and (3) it's against the law to discriminate by gender when hiring.

Given these three things, if he were to interview a woman in the future at Google, then she could point to the unproven claims in his memo, say he's sexist, and maybe win a lawsuit against the company. That's a liability for Google. Keeping him on would expose them to more risk.
The correlation between efficient driving and aggressive driving is far from perfect. The "pulse and glide" method from the wikipedia page linked in a sibling comment would seem quite aggressive for example and on the other end of the scale, I have often seen "moving roadblocks" running their engine at RPM far too high for efficient cruising (e.g. when people drive a manual who are afraid of shifting).
Or is it intentional by the leaders of CNN to try to side with Google on that case?
Exactly. Gaddafi accepted the US's demands to disarm in 2003 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disarmament_of_Libya) and we know how that worked out for him and Libya.

I stopped my physics at a BS. But if I understand correctly, we do have observations that don't match our theory. They would match if there was matter that we can't see. "Dark matter" is the hypothesized missing matter. This lets us keep our theories as they are.

But instead, you could regard the observations as "experiments proving our theories wrong".
Oh please. North Korea invades their southern neighbor on a mission of subjugation; we come to help, do what needs to be done to bring the war to an end; and somehow NK's militarism and aggression is our fault?

Don't get me wrong, the US has done some horrible things. But when it comes to NK, we've been saintly.

We're not competing with VMs here. From what I hear, like many other built-ins, "native" promises in every VM are implemented in JavaScript. They're not always well done (V8 promises were really bad for a while), and pay a mandatory overhead for useless "privacy" features dictated by the spec.

This makes sense, but seems like a(n unspoken?) pivot...? Electron doesn't call itself a UI framework after all, but an application framework.

I thought most of the excitement was about getting away from manual memory management into higher level languages and building something that works across the web and desktop, not just simplifying desktop busy work with native UIs.

Their tagline is "Build cross platform desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS"--if you need C++ to truly get the app you want, it seems like the value proposition is severely diminished.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but on average they'll be lightyears apart. I think the chance of them hitting each other is astronomically small.

Even when Andromeda and the Milky way collide, almost nothing will hit each other, because there is no much empty space.
IANAL But my understanding is "At will employment" does mean the employer can fire you for an illegal reason such as your race or as retaliation for a complaint. It really just means that the employer does not have to give the legal reason at the time of firing and there is no law requiring warning warnings or a formal evaluation system.

Analysis of Random Number Generation in Virtual Environments [pdf]
Sounds interesting. I'm very curious, though, to see an ignition profile of the compression ignition concept: it seems to me that compression would be even throughout the ignition chamber, leading to a somewhat (within the bounds of statistical deviation in fuel/air pressure) simultaneous ignition of the fuel/air mix. Meaning that I think Mazda's technology would combust more efficiently.
I visited a Tesla store once in mountain view, and they have a great little demo where you can check the cost of charging your car in various states.

Washington DC, for whatever reason, gets its electricity from a gasoline power plant. In Washington, the Model S gets 28 MPG.

This happened a while ago so I could be misremembering, but regardless I don't believe that the environmental value of electric vehicles has been realized. In a lot of places, your Tesla is still coal powered. Efficient internal combustion engines are still a worthy cause, and this will continue until more electricity is being produced than is normally consumed.
Congrats on finishing the book! Writing one is a monumental task, and a great thing for Nim.
Let's reveal the advantages of Content Marketing
This is dishonest.

The first party was the Centre for Law and Democracy (based in Canada). The second party was Article 19 (registered in UK) -- however I was informed I misread the print on this one. The third party was the Office of the United Nations (based in USA/NY and SWI). The fourth party was the California Labor Code.

You have offered, in this entire comment chain:

1). Your opinion on how freedom of expression should be restricted (unsourced)

2). Your opinion on what constitutes a societal sanction (unsourced)

3). Your opinion on what constitutes fair grounds for dismissal (unsourced)

So I will rebut, once again, with sources countering your claims.

You: "They [Google] can [discriminate on what you say], except in some cases (protected speech). And being regulated by the government doesn't make you the government."

Employees are protected under "anti-discrimination laws such as Title VII, RCW 40.60 (the Washington Laws Against Discrimination or “WLAD”) and various local laws. "[0]

Local laws include California's Labor Code - LAB § 1101: "No employer shall make, adopt, or enforce any rule, regulation, or policy:

(a) Forbidding or preventing employees from engaging or participating in politics or from becoming candidates for public office.

(b) Controlling or directing, or tending to control or direct the political activities or affiliations of employees."[1]

Google would also be in violation of "Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964"[2] for retaliation against objections of its discriminatory practices against men (section n, paragraph 1). Which Google, under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, did: "Sex discrimination involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) unfavorably because of that person's sex...

The law forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment."[3]

I ask of you to show me the courtesy of not wasting my time if you don't wish to take this seriously.

> there is really nothing in the cards today indicating that Nigeria or Congo, for example, will be significantly better 20 years from now...

I am a Nigerian and I think you are wrong. There is a lot of agitation in Nigeria especially from the young people and an imminent collapse of the old order. An Arab Spring like revolution is imminent. There is a bubbling spring of young and hungry talent on the continent there is a definite acknowledgement that things need to change fast.

That aside, despite the upbeat tone of the article, investment is still very hard to source in Africa despite the fact that the amounts required by the continents entrepreneurs are really small. Most founders require seed funding in the 10 -20k range. I am trying to solve this problem. Anyone interested in joining forces can pm me.

Sadly many young folks fall for it.

It's all fake altruistic bullshit marketing/PR/corporate speak. It's just modern advertising and branding.

And they try to one-up each other so you just get bombarded with this happy-language about all of these beautiful non-monetary things that they somehow seem to care so much about.

These poses are just "corporate white lies". They are not meant to be tested.

It's similar to companies saying things "we are like a family".

And that is the adult version of "your dog has gone to the farm for a while".

It's crap fed to you to distract you from the brutal reality so your resources can be extracted more smoothly for longer.

> Are you seriously suggesting that we shouldn't help disadvantaged black Americans simply because disadvantaged Jewish Americans didn't need it?

Perhaps he's suggesting that black, white, Jewish, etc aren't the characteristics that we should be using to classify people as needing help. You'd probably have a lot less pushback if you created a biased hiring process that gave favoritism to people who had attended lower-income high schools or people who are the first generation in their families to earn a college degree. That hiring process would, overwhelmingly, benefit minorities since, as many are pointing out, they've been historically disadvantaged and systemic roadblocks like poor schools contribute to the difficulties we have with social mobility. It's when you start using skin color or ethnic background as a discriminant that it starts to get uncomfortable for many people. I honestly find it kind of bizarre to say that I have more in common with my Russian coworkers, who grew up under communism and are also classified as white, than I do with the minorities who came to my birthday parties growing up.

Having grown up poor and now being fairly comfortable, it's easy for me to see many of the disadvantages poor people face. I attended a public middle school that was less than 10% white. Despite being part of a single-parent family just barely above the poverty line, I had a mother with a PhD who took an interest in my education. Many of my classmates had parents that simply didn't care. And I was lucky enough to test into a prep school and avoid the public high school. At that school, I saw the other side. Most of my classmates, both white and the few non-white, were rich and most had after-school tutors from the local university that would help them complete their homework. My mother worked long hours and I was largely on my own to tackle the very difficult workload (4-5 hours of homework each night). Of the few that I've stayed in touch with, I've seen former white classmates from middle school struggle. And I've seen the few minority classmates from my high school breeze through their schooling and find whatever jobs they've wanted. Their skin color didn't seem to be much of an impediment when they had successful parents standing behind them.

So my opinion is going to be biased by my experience, but I don't see skin color being the biggest factor when compared to socio-economic situation and parental education level. It's not really controversial to say there's a huge correlation between race/ethnicity and being disadvantaged in those two areas, but for some reason it's controversial to say that we should use areas like those instead of race/ethnicity for these kinds of diversity programs.

This is what I want. That people find their SO on a natural and unexpected way and not by sticking to their roots and setting the right filter in their dating app. Do you think Americans would be Americans today if hundreds years ago all the immigrants stayed with their groups? And again I use religion and ethnicity here equally since most of these platform do this implicitely too.

A society can only evolve and develop in a healthy way if groups mix. There are already so many barriers which hinder us to interact with others. Just say no to rules from the last century.

Google however does have the ability to hand over the cost of insuring such a system to the consumer, so even at current accident rates the cost is around 100 dollars a month per car using such a system (driving 12000 miles in a year). This equates to something like a cent per mile. So let's say they want incredibly high quality insurance, charging an extra 5 cents per mile won't make a difference in the scheme of things should they be able to get the overall cost of commuting 15 miles (the average American commute in one direction), to something under 5 dollars.
