with all respect to the great players of gypsy jazz (many of whom I like) gypsy jazz and solos over changes in that style is not really creative. It is a formula that has been invented. People like it;I like it too. But it's what I mean--- not innovative. It has nothing to do with our time. It is retro like BeBop. Recreating BeBop and Gypsy jazz is not creative- it is like really cool Civil War Reenactment. This is what I mean by music lacking creativity for the most part. I mean we don't support innovators- we support technically excellent practitioners of a well-known style. This is a craft, not an art. Nothing against great craft at all-- I love it. But we are in desperate need of art. Ditto in computer programming. It is important that it notice these pitfalls.
And we've managed to end up with shuttle with all of that bureaucracy.

I understand the complexity of the issue at hand. I can.

Nevertheless simple handles going for 200K a piece is a vast budget. Any proper business would quickly open up an internal department to "do the handles" since it both allows them to grow for free (you get additional specialists and the handles) and allows to use the same engineers for something else. More importantly testing becomes less of an issue since now you may easily do integrated testing of several disjoined components at once.

So no - I understand where the expenses come from. But it doesn't mean that structure is in _any_ way motivated.

The idea of subcontracting and every little piece of hardware being done by a separate little entity doesn't seem to work both in terms of pricing and in terms of the amount of work it would be doing be it a merged entity.

I disagree with this assumption. I believe what differs first and third world countries is the strength of institutions, not the belief of their individual people. There is diversity among developed countries regarding the role of the government, but the similarity is that institutions are more mature and are more respected.

Right. How many features do they need to add? Kickstarter raised a few million dollars and has grown organically, and fairly rapidly, since. Who is the natural acquirer for Patreon? Is it a likely IPO candidate? It's cheap criticism to say that it would be an easy extension for Kickstarter to offer this kind of funding model, but it really would. The cultural barriers that usually keep companies from moving into adjacent areas are non-existant. Both companies serve the same "Creative Class" customer with nearly identical positioning. I'm long Kickstarter, moderately short Patreon.

Some schmuck sort of did. The market makers and liquidity providers are not the source of the sold stock, simply intermediaries.

"is actually getting worse in recent years, against the author's thesis that passive investing is supposed to create a small pool of 'superstars'."

This is a huge point of contention. Capital takes a long time to flow out of mutual and hedge funds which have been underperforming. It could be many years yet before any "superstars" emerge.
Except it isn't. I suggest you do some reading and educate yourself.

That seems wrong. I wonder if you could petition apple for a refund in the case where developers purposefully sunset an app purposefully but for no technical reason (which I understand isn't really what this thread about, nor may not match your situation entirely).
The TechCrunch article about the funding [0] claims they make about $7.5 million a year, based on their transation fee and some public "total payments" numbers.

I can see that being too little if they're hiring a significant number of people. This is a nontrivial dilution so I assume that they need the money.

The Hashicorp stack is pretty widely used in part for its open source cross-platform capabilities. This seems more along the lines of "Hey! You already use Terraform/Vault for provider X. Now GCP works even better with the tools you already use!"

You concern is probably worthwhile, but I think this is not an example of it.

It was saying that half of devs were making less than $90k for 3 years of experience. I find that hard to believe. Yes, maybe that's the listings but I think it's insane to think you get paid that when almost every company here past seed stage will pay $100k+ for any new dev.
The UI is simply what you get with the classic win32 API. It is instantly comprehensible and workmanlike, if not contemporary chic. It is also crazy efficient; that API and the widgets and controls it provides were developed when machines had 4MB-8MB of RAM. The whole IDE probably launches in a few milliseconds and fits in L2.

Cool stuff.

That's not what currying is. You've just used partial application in two different contexts.

Currying takes a multi-argument function:

const f = (x, y, z) => x + y * z;

...and converts it to a function that takes a single argument, and returns a function taking the next argument, recursively:

const f_curried = x => y => z => x + y * z;

const result = f_curried(1)(2)(3)

edit: maybe you were trying to convey that, in your first example, f is already a curried function? As a whole, the first example just looks like a partial-application demonstration.
Investing in index is like subscribing for slavery. It only benefits people with tons of money. Sure, it's less risky. But along with preventing massive downside, it prevents massive upside too. I've just got 1 life, limited time and I want to risk everything for a massive upside, not efficient market.
actually the stock market and other investment markets (and credit markets) serve to offset the effect of money-saving on the cyclical flow of money through the economy. if people saved a lot of money and saved it all in cash, there would be less money available in the product market and would result in a downward spiral of high prices and low employment. the stock market solves this problem by re-injecting saved money as investment into the pockets of companies. please be aware that i am new to economics so i may be mistaken.

I didn't mean to suggest I categorically disagreed with the decision, in this case. I simply note that you can't extend that logic indefinitely, or you lose the thing you're fighting for.
Thank you! React and TypeScript.
Not only can you write more precise tests (because you don't have to worry about run time crashes from type errors or logic errors from type mismatches) but your tests themselves are also type checked.
Unfortunately a lot of developpers will not be able to update their app with the new Apple Guideline released this Year. They are currently blocking any app that look alike or have the same features. The guideline is so vague that a huge amount of Developpers including my company are forced to remove their apps or wait until apple removes them with no ability to update the app or communicate to the users that the app is being removed.
That's a great question. I wonder what the working habits of the code breakers and other knowledge workers were like. Anybody know more details?

Those probably are the only valid options. But let's face it. Unless the game was extremely popular, or has a cult following, it is rather unlikely that anyone will want to pick it up and run with it.

I play board games and there are games nowadays that require an app to play (see for example Alchemists). I've argued that this is a bad idea since at some point the apps will probably stop working as we see happening in iOS 11. But people always argue back that someone will be sure to create a version of the app to keep it going. I may be a cynic, but I think that is incredibly naive to believe that will happen.
It's chicken or egg: index funds are successful because people invest in index funds, therefore index funds are...

There will be an inflection point where stocks in indexes are so overvalued that enough active investors (and passive defectors) cause a rebalancing. If they're overvalued enough, and enough of the general market participates in them, index funds could easily crash.

Apps like Robinhood are making active investing much more feasible for your average Main Street person. I certainly am not counting on the continued blind investment in index funds.

Depression's Upside
Replace "video games" with "gambling" and you absolutely have people out there "ripping and robbing" to support a gambling habit.

Yet, in a large amount of places, some form of gambling is indeed legal (usually heavily regulated of course, but legal nonetheless).

In several nations (or states), there's even a form of completely legal, state sponsored gambling (with often ridiculously lower odds compared to private gambling offerings).

The issue here is that the "treatment" might be worse than the "disease". The vast majority of narcotic users (and gamblers) actually are responsible in how they use the narcotic (play the game). And illegal drug (or gambling) enterprises are also associated with an uptick in crime. Such is why the original "Prohibition" (of alcohol in the US) failed in the first place.

It doesn't help that current governments often tend to treat even simple possession of certain narcotics as a fully-fledged crime. As opposed to not caring except in the case of addiction, where it is at that point a medical problem. (Even the United States' old alcohol prohibition did not outlaw possession or consumption.)

> Most of the people who are open to Bitcoin live in third-world countries (including myself) and have a natural distrust for government.

That's an interesting claim. Is there a good Bitcoin use by country breakdown? Because my impression was, that with the notable exception of Brazil, Bitcoin is still mostly the techie-westerners thing.

> Also, saying some people "are wrong" is not an argument.

That's not an argument, just my current belief. It might be wrong.
I got sort of used to the size of the 7. After a year I'm still at the point where it annoys me at times but otherwise is fine. A hair smaller in height would be perfect for my needs.

I was intrigued by the X in that I was willing to go a hair higher in height for a much larger screen until I realized they got rid of the small-scaling feature I still can't think of the name of. Considering I already use that all the time on my 7 and the screen is about to get much larger, it'd be necessary for me to get by.

> There are so many excellent films made in the second half of the twentieth century that most people will only encounter when, ironically, a broadcaster shows it on classical linear television.

Yep, I would have never discovers Jeremiah Johnson without TMC.

> Here is a radical though: reduce copyright to 28 years, and let the Netflixes and HBO's compete against that! Not going to happen of course — the best some of us can do in the meantime is pretend copyright did end after such a term, or just meekly submit to whatever is made available, DRM-shackles and all.

This is the real root of this issue. You're completely on the right track.

Originally, copyright only protected an idea for a very short amount of time. Basically the amount of time required to go to market with an idea. Copyright was intended to protect the little guy entering the industry so larger competitors couldn't steal their ideas until after the little guy entered the market.

Now, on the other hand, copyright accomplishes the exact opposite. It protects the big guys by ensuring that no-one can ever use or improve upon their ideas/products without their express consent for what seems like an eternity(see Disney constantly requesting copyright extensions on Mickey Mouse). There should be a hard limit on copyright of 5 years, maybe 10 for IP. As you said above, this will never happen as there are too many people and companies feeding off the current system. Disrupting the status quo would result in an eruption of outcry from studios, record labels, and publishers.

That said, I think we can all agree that is absolutely absurd that record labels are still profiting off of albums where every person who worked on them is now dead for an example.

Let's also be real here and address the issue that artists don't really benefit from signing on to contracts with large corporations outside of maybe better publicity. 90% of the proceeds from listens on spotify or shows on Netflix are going to the companies that own the rights and not the musicians/actors. That's why most non-mainstream music is moving into self publishing/independent labels.
1) Shorting into a bubble is usually a terrible idea.

2) The only realistic way to short BTC is to do so via a very small list of exchanges. Even if you trust them (which, given the history of cryptocurrency exchanges is hardly a given) the borrow cost is huge: there's no way you could reasonably make this kind of macro BTC bet.

The combination of these two realities makes the "If you don't believe the price, you ought to be shorting it" assertion completely baseless.
Not quite. At the bare minimum, the existence of markets and liquidity they provide is of tremendous value. Otherwise, how would those large corporations be able to acquire capital in the first place?
That's just not true. If I see that one of my stocks has just dropped by a huge amount that doesn't mean that it's going to carry on dropping. There's no "momentum" (at least on a short timescale).

What're the first two, if I may ask out of curiosity?
First of all, cash is not "ideally designed for money laundering".

Second of all, Taler improves upon cash for combatting money laundering. Money laundering by its very nature creates a dishonest paper trail to hide the real source. When laundering cash, the paper trail and the cash are separate, and because the serial numbers of bills are rarely recorded, there is no proof that the paperwork presented to regulators explaining the cash income actually resulted in said cash income.

For example, imagine a cash-rich business being audited by the IRS. The business shows daily bank deposits of $10,000 per day, with approximately 100 daily receipts for 100 daily transactions worth about $100 each. The money launderers were actually trying to hide large single transfers of $300,000 monthly that were being buffered into daily deposits, but because the dishonest paperwork shows 3,000 separate transactions, that's what's "real" until proven otherwise.

With Taler, the cash transfer and the contract are cryptographically bound. Which means that money launderers can't just draw up some fake paperwork after one large transaction, they need to make 3,000 real transactions actually happen, from real Taler wallets, which themselves must appear reputable since all Taler wallets are independently auditable (what good is having a money laundering business to hide your dishonest Taler wallets if your dishonest Taler wallets are in danger of being randomly audited themselves at some other point in time?) This drastically increases the cost of establishing an apparently honest paper trail, which in turn makes money laundering using Taler less appealing.

You could probably create your own smart contract (not under the .ETH registrar) that had absolutely zero censorship, but it would probably end up being overrun by scumbags and unusable across the wider network as everybody else builds filters around them...

I would. Some people have crippling stage fright every time while several others would get it if the stakes are too high (imagine being called to demo at the iPhone launches). I doubt that the author being a natural public speaker can relate to that.

It's not about not being a good/polished public speaker but more about being so paralyzed with anxiety that your hands/knees shake and your voice breaks to the point that you couldn't read off a teleprompter. You lose all situational awareness and enter a fight or flight mode. If that describes you then take propranolol. (after asking your doctor of course)
