So basically, they're saying Amazon is straight up lying about their wages being the highest in the sector.
Can you go more into your problems, because as far as I know, it is actually not that complicated.

Unless of course, you say you are non profit - then they have to accept that, complicated, yes.

But if you want small donation money for a webpage, it is very easy. You register a small company for it (cost 20-30€, time 20 minutes at the finance agency. and you can use that company for many other similar things). And then you are legally good to receive money in all forms, bitcoins or not. They don't care how you got that money. All that matters to them is how much profit you made in a year. If it is below 16000€ you don't pay (company) taxes - and they totally ignore you for being not important. If you make higher income, well, then you start having a serious business, with taxation and probably more regulation, true.

But for small things I found it not so hard.
I'd love to play with the code of a C/C++ Minecraft server. Is there any yet?
I really don’t want to discourage you from looking into Glowstone, but a really cool project I had stumbled over half a year ago is Cuberite[1], a Minecraft server written in C++.

Usually those things are pretty solid especially wrt backwards compat. I am curious as to what you copy/pasted and how it failed.
Have you ever played Minecraft on a server without mods? It’s impossible to administer past 5 people. For that using realms is an alternative . Every other server needs mods to function.
I'd much rather have a robot to do laundry, put on bed sheet, clean bathroom, buy groceries, go pick up takeout food.

Yeah, most likely. It says it supports Bukkit and Sponge plugins, both of which are built in Java (dunno much about Sponge, but Bukkit plugins are literally just .JAR files)

Bitcoin is not centralized in any meaningful definition of the term.

It is one of a select few, if not the only one, cryptocurrencies that are multi stakeholder open source projects. Releases are regular, all the necessary maintenance takes place and there is healthy discussion on the mailing list. Despite what some people would like to tell you, it is not unheard of that a newcomer starts working on something or comes with a proposal that gathers interest.

(Which is also the reason you don't see scaling improvements in big bangs, just like Linux doesn't magically scale better in one release. Such improvements are slow and steady, and the latest release of Bitcoin scales better than the previous, which scales better than the one before that.)

A coin where a single stakeholder could, by paychecks or otherwise, change the rules of the network would not be remotely as interesting. It could still be _useful_, especially for payments, but that's not necessarily something that blockchains does best. Cue the usual discussion about store of value versus currency, everybody has heard that already and Bitcoin can be both or neither. That's not the interesting axis to measure, trustless consensus and permissionless innovation is.

This was something the hit the computer industry hard back in 2007 when Crysis was released for the PC. I can only imagine what the will be available in 2020, seeing as most of the scenes in major action films are 100% computer generated.

With the work being conducted to increase the capability of graphics rendering while reducing power consumption, heat production and overall size VR, AR, and MR applications will probably be very hard to tell the difference between what is real and virtual.
AFAIK layers are automatically garbage collected if you delete all images and containers that depend on them. Bear in mind that containers are not automatically deleted after shutting down, unless you give the --rm argument.

You can list them with docker ps -a, and delete all containers by running docker rm $(docker ps -aq).
No, someone who commits treason is entitled to be prosecuted for that crime by a federal court with the usual Constitutional protections. The wrinkle here is that the detainee is not on US soil and thus no federal court has territorial jurisdiction to grant habeas relief.

Hi! Thanks so much for this very detailed feedback and glad you like the testimonials :).

intro/onboarding feedback: I agree with you and will look at ways to cut it down both in length and quality

- I just removed the "Try tapping" and changed it to tap cause I agree with you (it will be pushed out next update)

- you're 100% correct on the sound previews too, I implemented the listener as an onChanged rather than onClick, but will look into fixing that in the near future.

- the 42 MB is almost entirely due to mp3 sound files (the alarm ringtones + sleep engine sounds). I used compression to strike a balance between quality and space and also used seamless looping on the sleep engine to get rid of the need for giant audio files, but there is always room for dramatic improvement on that front and I'll keep working at it. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I think that once I get a back end going what I'd eventually like to do is have users download the tracks based on what they need (this might be a very naive approach though so correct me if that's a bad idea).
How to monetize your startup? – 25 Monetization models
We had a Commodore 64 when I was a kid. It was fun! I used to play games on it. That was the only thing I did on it - I guess I just didn’t know that you could do more than play games on it. Maybe I was a bit too young at the time, or the fact that it was gifted to my family who knew next to nothing about computers.

So I still ended up working at supermarkets and doing manual labour jobs until I was at university and started doing some tutoring.

I think it’s good to have had the experiences of doing some manual labour type jobs - it gives people context and perspective.

The simplest explanation is that Pai coordinates with the ISPs to stuff the comment boxes with spam so they would have a justification for ignoring them; courts have occasionally struck down rules because agencies didn’t properly consider public input.

That’s because the conclusion was foregone: Pai will do what his benefactors want then sail to a cushy consulting job as a reward for his work.
She claims there are "hundreds of thousands of children living in homes without enough to survive."

NZ population: 4.8 million, of which 900,000 are under the age of 16. So she's talking about a vast proportion of their children living in utter misery (one third? half?).

Life in NZ must be really awful, courtesy of free markets. It will be interesting to observe how much regulation and socialism they will implement, and how much better children fare after that. Are there examples of countries that have embraced socialism, and thereby improved their lot?
I think sending "thank you" notes to someone is rare because it's a bit odd to contact a complete stranger and thank them.

Personally I would "thank" someone for example by upvoting their post, commenting on it, or posting their project here or on Lobster, staring their GitHub project, etc. Those are more concrete stuff and personally I would appreciate this kind of actions more than a thank you note.
Ryan Dahl, the creator of Node.js:

Put it this way then: you can’t hire someone on a contract that doesn’t include the right for them to strike without being fired. Because that would be illegal.

So what they are doing is entirely within their employment contracts.

> I sort of suspect that Electron's popularity is due to it being accessible to the hordes of JavaScript developers

Look, let's not kid ourselves, we all hate JavaScript like it's the plague, but no other framework comes even close to the ease of CSS/HTML and a drop of JavaScript for interactivity (transpiled from a sensible language), when it comes to GUI development. It's such a fucking embarrassment working with Gtk, Qt, Tk whatever have you, it's not even funny. Even native mobile dev (Swift/Java) is easier through a web interface, because nobody wants to have to remember that you had to "drag click from here to your source code" or "add this to your xml file to make it accessible".

Honestly, Electron is a shitty resource hog, but it is a trillion miles better than what the current offerings are.

$5/mo for 0.5G, $10/mo for 1G, $20/mo for 2G. All the standard droplets, except for the 3G for $15/mo one, make you pay $10 more per gigabyte.

Both Vultr and Linode seem to offer twice the amount of RAM per dollar though.

node —-inspect is a great debugger but last I looked the tooling around memory wasn’t very good. As far as I know, the best practice is to use Ben Nooordius’ heapdump tool (which is super flakey between bugs and Linux oom killer) or lldb with a node plugin. Joynet has/had some cool stuff for illuminos based OSes and IBM seems to be working on some tooling but it’s not there yet.

The problem with deflation is that wages and income go down over time, which makes debts harder to pay off. This discourages investment.

In your example, the problem is that it is harder to take a bitcoin-denominated loan to purchase a house because your bitcoin-denominated wages go down every year and eventually you can't pay off the interest anymore.

Read below.

They are, just not directly, because the direct process for decertification or deauthorization is both highly risky (if caught, they could lose their jobs), and also pretty ineffective (the NLRB has a habit of overturning election results, rendering the whole process moot.

So, they use other tactics - hence the increasing support from union members for anti-union lawmakers. Political pundits often write about this as a "paradox" of union members voting "against their own interests", but it's actually pretty straightforward once you remember that union members are individuals who may or may not actually support the interests of the union that they belong to.

If I'm at a page about comic books, I don't want to see ads about contact lenses or glasses that I was looking for a couple hours ago.

I used to trust much more the ads when they weren't targeted as they are now, and that's just because the ads on a page were related to the content, and not the result of fingerprint and an attack on my privacy.
I often don’t understand the Go teams obsession with compile times, but I’ve never worked on large Java or C++ code based that take forever to compile. I mostly want them to optimize for runtime performance even at the expense of compile time, but this does not seem popular with the core team.

Designers do a lot more than determine what pages look like. That’s graphic design or visual design . Design in general [should] determine how the website flows from one interaction to the next and what the experience is like (another subfield called UX design). There’s also interaction design that deals with e.g. animations when e.g. pressing the button.

In general though, design is how it works from the standpoint of the user; design decisions are things like “what does the user see when they first visit the site” and determining if that’s the best thing for whatever goals you have is the tough part.

Design is not the paintbrush, but this is a commmon misconception, even among engineers who work with designers. If you’re making websites at a company and designers are just giving you CSS to style elements and determine colors, you’re not taking advantage of design thinking: https://www.ideou.com/pages/design-thinking and are very likely making design decisions without realizing it, similar to how it’s possivle to be architecting systems without realizing it and without considering the large body of work in these fields that exists.

It pains me greatly that design is so misunderstood as ~”the paintbrush”, even / especially with engineers, as [a dearth of] design is almost always the cause of gripes like “it’s so stupid how {piece of software} works! Why did they make it like this?!”.

If you’re an engineer and you commonly think “this software really suck”, please check out http://www.designkit.org over the holiday break (if you get one). We desperately need more people who understand the need for and the realities of design in positions where decisions are made.

Both Go and JS are async and callback driven. The difference is that with JS those nasty callbacks are painfully explicit, whereas it is all hidden in Go. Node's callstack is a goroutine, except that the latter can also be preempted. If you have 100000 requests in progress in Node, it will consume at least as much memory as a well written Go program would.
That's not unusual for small VMs, but at the point where you need a serious amount of RAM it's drastically cheaper to rent dedicated hardware.
How does one file a legal comment?
You have a freshman level understanding of exchange rates. Let's start from the beginning with your haircut example. The beijing haircut indeed produces less value on average than the British haircut. To make the example more clear, say you're a surgeon who's performing a life saving operation. If you save the life of Elon Musk vs the life of a homeless methhead, do you create the same amount of value in the world? Even if the job is equivalent effort-skill, you have still contributed to the world more just by saving a higher-value person. I know this is morally reprehensible but we're talking economics here. Scale the example back down to haircuts.

So similarly with Britain. Just because the value of all of Britain decreased, so has the value of all the work done in Britain even if the work itself didn't change.

As another example, think bitcoin. If you mine for 3 hours and you get 1 satoshi the value of your 3 hours are worth different things if bitcoin was worth $100 vs $8000. In either case you did the same amount of work, the only difference is what foreigners, ie, non-bitcoiners think the value of your work is. That's how it is with GBP.

So long as the currency changes are driven by real events, they matter, they matter a lot.
> And as to meditation or "talking helps": NOTHING changes reality. I can do all positive thinking I want in the end I am still surrounded by endless suffering and misery.

If I believed for certain it would chance my life, I wouldn't have written that comment, I would have brought the book and read it then and there.

A human builds a house. Compared to the house, the human is omnipotent; it goes where it pleases and is free to create and destroy houses at will. Yet, Occam’s Razor does not agree that, after the human has left, the house was never engineered.

And wow, I can't believe Minecraft is 8 years old -- feels like I first played it just yesterday.
> Why does it matter if I have happened to purchase my coins via an exchange using Euros?

Because it reinforces the fact that access to bitcoin generally requires a bank account. Everyone knows it is possible to transfer bitcoin over the internet, the key part is that nobody will do that for free, so an exchange must be facilitated and facilitation of exchange over the internet nearly always requires a bank account.

> you could do a remote job and be paid in bitcoin if you really wanted

A luxury available only to tiny fraction of the population, and even then, it's difficult to find substantial work where one is paid in bitcoins without a lot of searching (all the cryptocurrency focused job boards are ghost-towns full of trash and scams)

> Or sell goods/services via Open Bazaar [1] and receive bitcoin

Totally impractical - Open Bazaar is a ghost-town and there are no marketplaces with more activity besides darknet markets (and I've actually tried to sell stuff on OB and seen this first-hand). Also 2-3 multisig is not a solution to the problem of fraud which has an excellent risk/reward ratio for scammers on markets like Open Bazaar.
It's easy to read tw04's original comment and focus entirely on the "less educated" part, but tw04's point still stands without that — union workers can and will be affected by opposition arguments, and therefore we can't ignore that when analyzing declines in union membership.

In my opinion what's disingenuous is to ignore the main point in favor of picking some nit.
