On April 5, 2012, President Obama signed a landmark piece of bi-partisan legislation called The JOBS Act into law. The JOBS Act greatly expanded entrepreneurs’ access to capital, allowing them to go to the crowd and publicly advertise their capital raises.

Initially, private companies could only crowdfund from accredited investors, the wealthiest 2% of Americans. On June 19, 2015, three years after the JOBS Act was initially signed into law, Title IV (Regulation A+) of the JOBS Act went into effect. For the first time, Title IV allows private growth-stage companies to raise money from all Americans.

It is getting tough these days to decipher intentions of those who wish to combat racism with racism, however was definitely not the intention of OP.

One could start a business with their family, friends (who are likely to be the same race), or even other interested people in their community. Finding good founders is quite hard, to narrow it by race is even harder, but that shouldn't discourage underrepresented people who share similar values to organize.
I think it's usually to provide extra features. For example, Gerbil has a more advanced macro and module system than most Scheme implementations. It's also very easy to do because you're bascially given an AST for your new Scheme that you transform into the base Scheme.

Gerbil's docs have an example of this: https://github.com/vyzo/gerbil/blob/master/doc/tutorial/lang...
Please at least read the Wikipedia articles on computability (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computability) and hypercomputation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercomputation) before making arguments like this. There is literally zero evidence that anything in our known universe can perform hypercomputation - and that includes all quantum mechanical effects that we've been able to measure. So the Bayesian prior for human intelligence being computable is somewhere near 100%, and it would take very, very extreme evidence to contradict that.

"Is it true there is no truth?" is not even close to a compelling argument, there are rigorously defined notions of truth within any of the eminently computable logical frameworks that we use.
That is how we do "generics" in C. Not happy about it, just sayin'.
I don't think you've met many professional actors. Someone with a role on Broadway, even as a supporting actor with no dialog, is considered to have "made it". An Off-Broadway or regional theater role pays something more like $500 a week. And even if you're good enough to land these gigs there's very limited stability as shows/casts rotate.

Sure, not everyone works at Google, but the people who don't can still land jobs at a million different companies for a living salary. An actor who's not landing roles is working a survival job (waiter, barista, etc) so they can afford to spend time auditioning. And remember we're talking about somebody on the verge of homelessness -- they're going to have to compete with actors from wealthy families who paid for their rent and a degree from Juilliard.

We use Vagrant at work and it serves us well. We do all of our provisioning with Chef however, using one cookbook for our Vagrant box and web servers. This allows us to achieve a more-or-less consistent configuration across all environments.

One of these days, I'd like to do a deep dive into Nix. I'm not sure it can really be compared to Vagrant or Docker, but the idea of purely functional provisioning appeals to me.
It's shorthand for "you should be consulting a real lawyer about this, instead of taking a layperson's uninformed and unprofessional advice on the Internet, but here's my opinion on it anyway."

I am not a lawyer, but I think the amount of corporate shell games and fictitious entities should be proportional to the amount of money at stake in the estate.

If grandma has $300k left to her name, and can still fry her own eggs every morning, then a boilerplate last will, durable power of attorney, and medical plan from a strip mall estate planning lawyer is probably enough to keep the wolves and vultures at bay long enough to sound the alarums.

If grandma still owns a profitable business in her own name, you're going to need to burn some billable hours from a pressed-suit type, and maybe register some new corporations or LLCs.

Most people can get it done with the strip mall lawyer, without trying anything fancy. The HN crowd has more money to protect than most people, so they're going to want the downtown high-rise lawyer. And if that person recommends anything that does not sound incredibly boring, commonplace, and tedious, you probably got the wrong guy, and need to walk to a different firm.

But since I am not a lawyer, I'd recommend re-titling everything worth cataloguing to a handful of New Mexico LLCs, as they do not require annual reports or disclosure of the principals, and get EINs for them via a nominee, so they won't show up in the cursory asset searches for your elder. The valuable assets would be divided up into separate legal baskets, so no one can come in and take everything in one swoop. Then you lease the property back to the former owner, from the LLC, with a "peppercorn rent"--essentially a gestural payment that can be easily made, so long as the lessee remains competent. So if anyone ever gets your elder declared incompetent, or if they die, anything worth stealing immediately reverts to a predetermined person's legal control. You have to assume that someone is watching your loved one circle the drain, with the intent of searching their pockets once they stop moving.
If I'd read it as obvious I wouldn't have made that comment: your name-calling is unhelpful.

We still don't know if you simply confabulated your other claim.

Title IV (Regulation A+) of the JOBS Act
SigOpt is looking for our first Product Marketing Manager
UI is the difficult part in my opinion. iOS and Android take different approaches to building apps so even if you had a language that perfectly compiled to both Swift and Java, the code to build your views would end up diverging significantly without some sort of component library.
Don't know much about blockchain so excuse me for the question. Say someone uploaded a copyrighted image, who (if anyone) would a dmca notice go to? If you got one what could or would you do? Does safe harbor apply in this scenario if you can only tag as nsfw with the option to view instead of block completely?
My manager just got back from Hashicon in Austin. I asked him what his main takeaway was and that was that Vagrant is kind of dead. I mean there is still Packer, and Hashicorp is absolutely still around, so I don’t think it’s that bad at all.

Also when I say dead I mean “not sexy conference talk anymore”, so whatever that’s worth,
I don't buy latte each day. I know no one who does.

If I would be theoreticaly buying latte each day, it would be either because I would love latte so much or because of some social reason (collegues I want to talk with are going there so I have to join etc).

Compared product is usually not needed socially and is no more appealing then daily latte I am not buying.
(Disclaimer - ex HashiCorp employee)

I use Vagrant daily. I mostly work on operating systems other than Linux (SmartOS, FreeBSD), so Docker is not a replacement for me.

In general it works well enough with VMWare - Virtualbox doesn’t support the features I need. The closed source nature of the Fusion plugin is annoying, given that there are (basically) show-stoppin bugs which have not been resolved in months. However, Vagrant or some
derivative has a long future ahead, at least for those of us not on Linux.

I looked. I didn't find any local water testing lab with "estrogens" on their website.

I found a water treatment company trying to sell RO and other point-of-use systems which had pointers to reports about hormones, pharmaceuticals, and other contaminants in the water, but they don't offer estrogen testing.

FWIW, $45 at http://www.ackuritlabs.com/residential-testing/residential-a... gives me either an E. coli survey or a filter survey for iron, pH, tannins, hardness, and turbidity.

Perhaps you can do better than I did?
This seems like less of an issue with the Nobel Prizes and more that the author doesn't like prizes in general. Not everyone that contributes to a movie gets to go up on stage to collect the Oscar. There are always going to be problems with subjective awards in terms of leaving people out, people being overshadowed who would have won in other years, etc. I think the award does a good job of celebrating achievements that otherwise wouldn't be nearly as widely recognized.
I'd lean toward the Lenovo. Anecdotally, I've had a 2nd gen i5 in my desktop since I built it in 2011 and still have no complaints with its performance.
Hey, IPFS dev here, happy to help :) I promise we'll improve our documentation around storing and providing large datasets.

1) You can have individual files automatically be wrapped in a directory: `ipfs add -w dog.jpg` will result in `/ipfs/QmSomeHash/dog.jpg`

2) There's commands for modifying objects: e.g. `ipfs object patch add-link QmDirHash the-link-name QmLinkHash`

3) You can host multiple IPNS names from the same node since 0.4.9 or so -- see `ipfs key` and `ipfs name publish -k`. You can also publish updates for the same IPNS name from multiple nodes, although admittedly that's a bit hacky right now, since it involves an additional tool: https://github.com/whyrusleeping/ipns-pub

4) What kind of directory structure are you looking for here? We've successfully and repeatedly used IPFS with large datasets of different kinds so I'm curious how we can improve this.

And what happens when someone's private key leaks? Do they have to get issued a new one somehow? If someone has gone through 7 private keys, how do you know that the one person-claiming-to-be-someone is giving you the most up to date one vs an older one, etc.

There would be a lot of non-trivial considerations by pushing all this on average joes (both as individuals and as people attempting to verify individuals).

A system that appears secure but isn't is more dangerous. I can hear a 60 year old now: "Aunt Claire is stuck in london and needs money! We know its her, here's her [expired key] encrypted message!"

Even if this goes through, I'm hopeful that the cat-and-mouse game with torrents, third-party mirrors, Tor and IPFS will take enough time for the scientific publishing industry to die anyway.

The scroll on the page is a terrible idea. I was under the impression the page has a problem, with the delay between the left/right pane, until I realized it was intentional ...

Also, it looks like you can't change this behavior. I'd prefer if I simply received an email that said "you have mail coming soon, sign in to view the image" but it appears to either be off/on, you can't customize the actual notification message.
There never is a break-in where they get 1/3 or 1/2 of the accounts. It has to be nearly all or some much smaller faction. (my own presumption based on the idea nothing large does mere 2 to 3 way replication or partition)

Don't you mean with your public key? Pretty sure encrypting things with your _private_ key is pretty unusual. (Unless you're talking about digital signatures with RSA.)

I'm aware of the JOBS act. It's still a different system than the rich get to use.

Edit: not sure why I'm downvoted. Middle class can't invest in filecoin, for instance, even though the top tier can.
It seems to me that system that have you choose major at first instead of expecting you to continue "well rounded" unfocused general education would be better for those students.

Even if some would transfer midway, having to pick up goal and then have clear path to it would be easier for less preared students.
I use it for personal projects and schoolwork, mainly to provide me with convenient to configure headless Linux boxes on my Macs without needing to depend on network connectivity to ssh into a remote box (after the initial provisioning and occasional apt-get/yum updates).

We still use it for our development environments to test our deployment / provisioning tools.
Repasting my comment from below, but Matcha is actually based on top of gomobile, albeit with a bunch changes to fit the needs of this framework. Gomobile provides language bindings and Matcha adds a usable component library on top of that. It serializes Go data structures into protobuf, passes it through to iOS/Android and creates the necessary views. Matcha also does all the layout, event handling etc.
Our team still use it. I built the dev environment with Vagrant.

We are using Kubernetes in the dev environment, and Docker Native simply doesn't work for what we want to do. Back then, about 9 months ago when I put this together, Minkube did not support native Linux, so I ended up creating the Packer scripts that baked in a customized Nanokube and loaded it with the tooling.

The current team has a mixed bag of people on Windows and a few people on Mac. Bash for Windows wasn't mature enough at the time -- and even if it were, we'd still have to create some sort configuration management to get it installed for people.

Our team is small and we've since been swamped with writing new features. I'll probably do a refresh of the dev environment in the "dead" months in Nov and Dec -- signing up for a Vagrant Enterprise account, ditching Nanokube for Minikube, fix a bunch of bugs.

I'm inclined to agree with 'cabaalis on this point. Using Latin phrases in law still feels too much like medieval clergy only reading the Bible in Latin and telling the laypeople to trust them. Yes, there will be jargon in every profession that most people won't get, but if it's in the same language you can at least make an educated guess about it. Using dead language for your jargon feels like it specifically keeps laypeople out of the loop
To put this number in perspective, there are ~7.5 billion humans currently living on the earth.
Such a shame reading news like this. I’d like to point out that this isn’t really even a conservative vs liberal view anymore, regarding corporate greed, corporate malpractice, etc. Even Steve Bannon has said this.

While we definitely will always have culture battles to fight between both parties, the reality is the Republican Party was essentially “captured” by the Koch Brothers starting in the 1980’s, and it made it drastically shift to the right on corporate issues. The Tea Party, which in the end is a force for good (really shocked me to write that), was able to internally destroy the Republican Party and thus undo most of it’s absurd corporate agenda, but by that time Citizen’s United has passed and perhaps half of the corporate shills or so fled to the Democratic Party, which is now also captured.

In conclusion, it will be the extreme wings of both parties, Tea Party on the right and Socialists on the left, that will save the economic system, but this solution wasn’t ideal and there could have been a better way.
