We went out as a part of a group to the pub. She insulted me a lot then put her foot through a wall. What’s not to love?

Still together 30 years on.

Wouldn’t say it’s hard work. Thinking about it, there’s an old English expression “the other ‘alf” Pretty much sums it up to be honest.

I am wondering. Have you considered using the [Linux Vendor Firmware Service](https://fwupd.org/) ?
Its good to quantify how low things may get because theres so much volatility in the bitcoin space... such that you can make really decent gains even day to day.

I'm founder of https://bitbank.nz which provides high frequency forecasts for lots of cryptocurrency markets, because its only forecasting 2 hours ahead it can be more accurate by using other more denser sources of data such as computing the orderbook imbalance and weighted best fit lines through the trades weighted by trade amount.
Check it out :) we have an API/bulk data developers can use.

Well, if you are taking many hours to process said data on a single processor machine (say eight cores) then throwing it into an environment where you can crunch it with many cores (say 1440) then this does make some kind of sense. Also putting the data into a secured multi user environment with redundancy and also business continuity.

Spreadsheets are a huge risk to everyone, especially those who haven't made the leap to "real" programming.

Excel, 1-2-3, Visicalc are, taxonomically speaking, in the same class.

We have a new order of tools. While they have their own inherent risks, they reflect literally decades of thinking about the risks and limitations of tools whose lineage traces back to Visicalc.

Macro management and security, versioning, distributed access, multidimensionality; all are addressed in a handful of ways with Alpha, Tableau, Looker and other progressive tools.

Excel, floppies, line printers; relics.
for a starter, forbidden island is cheap and relatively easy 4 player coop boardgame. I always use it to break in board game newbies.
This is what makes Settlers such a balanced game IMHO. You can have a new beginner or experienced players and everyone has a good chance at winning - so long as the newbies are given fair introduction into the different strategies to winning. The scenario you mentioned is one example that makes the game turn into a political one. I have no chance at winning and you weren't nice to me, well then I'm going to fuck with you the whole game and hope someone else wins. If there are 2 people against 1 then that makes it even more fun. On that note, the game is likely an average or median length of 40 minutes, so if you're playing with good people it's always been a tolerable length of time. Seeing and experiencing the dynamics of Settlers is the best way to learn, like anything generally..
Sign up with any voip provider and get an SMS-capable number for one month. That's what I did for gandi.net.
OCaml's syntax on the other hand is stable, whereas it is my impression that ReasonML changes with the same frequency that JS libraries are changed.

And the differences are very superficial. What trips people is not the actual syntax, but the concepts learned, the rules of the type system, scoping rules, etc, which don't change.

I'm glad that ReasonML exists, but personally I would use OCaml instead of risking that my codebase gets stuck with an old release after only six months because the current version now has different opinions about how to express anonymous functions.
Pray away the crime? Sounds like Pence's solution to the Russia scandal.
Where did we meet? At church.

How did I know? Because everyone else I dated, I'd be talking to, and suddenly I'd realize that I had no idea what planet her brain was on. I just couldn't understand where she was coming from, at all. With my wife, sometimes she'd have to explain, but the explanation always showed that she was coming from somewhere I could understand.

Also, as we got closer to each other, I never hit a wall. There was never a line inside her mind or heart that I wasn't allowed to cross, to see what was behind it. She never kept a private version of her that I was excluded from. (I'm not talking physically here, I'm talking about her mind and her heart.)

> Half of me thinks that you have to work hard and be diligent to make it work, and the other half thinks it's just a matter of good interaction between your natural selves.

It's kind of both.

It better be "good interaction between your natural selves". Do you want it to be hard work? For the next 50 years? It has to be OK for you to be your natural self. You can't maintain anything else for the long term.

And yet, you do have to work at it. If you put zero effort into it, well... if you pay for nothing, nothing is what you're going to get. I found in my own marriage that, every year to year and a half, we realized that we weren't as close as we used to be, and we made a deliberate effort to rebuild. But feeling like we're still in the honeymoon phase after 20 years was worth it, definitely.

In theory ICE could check this out, but sanctuary city policy is to not cooperate with ICE, so my guess is they did not have immediate access to this information.

Also I think Hilary's emails and Benghazi obviously played a factor here. And Obamacare. And gay marriage. And liberals.
And now that it's a proper application they have to worry about authentication, down time, security, documentation, maintenance, and the customization and changes they could once do in an instant now requires filing a feature request, waiting for it to be implemented and deployed...

Even as a software developer I will freely admit that Excel is the right tool for many jobs. We shouldn't be so eager to transform workbooks into formal apps unless there is a really good reason to.

Yes, in perpetuity. Don't betray your user's interests. It's a capital offense to your credibility. This isn't a riddle.

Ubuntu may still be a good OS today and if so you should use it but that doesn't mean their previous actions didn't happen.
Every taxi company on earth would buy this immediately.

Every taxi company on Earth (well, at least in the UK) has an app of their own now, even if it's just a white-label with their branding applied. They all let you book a journey and tell you the name of the driver and the reg plate of the car, and have a nice animated map of how far away the car is. No-one will buy it.
Perhaps I was using the wrong word. The word I am talking about is something along the lines of self-sacrifice for the benefit of society. Which is pretty much the premise of socialism (workers own the means of production because this benefits society more than private capital holders owning it).

>If you have a currency that is increasing in value, and one decreasing, which do you choose to spend? You would not "use" deflationary currency, only hold onto it.

Like I said, you can't eat bits of currency. I would spend the deflationary currency but I would be more hesitant to spend it. I would buy stuff that I really want or need. People aren't going to starve to death or go homeless because they want to hold on to their deflationary currency. That's not reality.

>Yes the economy will restructure. People will spend USD and keep Bitcoin in their pocket. People will want to be paid in USD because they can use it to buy stuff. Bitcoin is and will stay relegated to an interesting experiment people invest in, and only use if they need its anonymity.

You are seeing the situation for what it is now, not for what it will be in the future. Crypto is gaining more acceptance world wide. Yes, currently people prefer to be paid with USD or similar but in the future it could be possible that people prefer crypto. Also there are lots of businesses and services that directly or indirectly accept crypto.

I disagree with your last sentence. Like all things, bitcoin started as an experiment but it will go on to change the world similar to how the internet changed the world. Entire industries will be disrupted as a result. I have been in crypto since 2011 and to even be having this discussion today already shows me that the experiment has been a monumental success. In 2011, I would have never even imagined that bitcoin would reach 10k per coin.
> sanctuary city policy is to not cooperate with ICE

I don't think that's true, unless you have an example. Usually sanctuary cities have policies like "don't hold illegal immigrants while you wait for ICE agents unless they've broken another law", "don't automatically notify ICE when an illegal immigrant is released from jail", etc.

It doesn't mean "don't return their phone calls and never share information".
It's true that submitters aren't supposed to delete and repost (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html) but as the FAQ also says, a small number of reposts are ok when an article hasn't gotten traction. And in this case we invited it, which we do a fair bit of.

Add in that google's own migration tool does not port the app's database. So if you switch phones you're left manually doing a disable/re-enable loop for every provider, unless you printed or screenshotted the original QR codes at signup.
I like that -- Programming should be called a bug gun more often. How can we get more bugs in here, lets bring out the bug guns!!
You have a valid point, though many Uber drivers may also be in the less-than-thrilled category. On the other hand, this suggests the fear of reputation damage is being overstated - most people pay little heed to court cases unless bodies are involved one way or another.
Oh the valuation doesn't mean anything except to new potential investors. It's essentially a made up number that means nothings especially since they are not earning a profit and don't look to any time soon.

But that aside, yes a pivot would require them to do things differently, just as in your example learn selling to businesses However every taxi company in the world would jump at this opportunity immediately. The same industry that refused change for decades and had their parade rained on when Uber came around would greet this change with open arms. Especially if Uber were to 'go away' as a result.

There are going to be down rounds for Uber in the future no matter what, valuation means nothing if your business won't survive.

With Excel I can do things fast, at the beginning, but then I find that it get a bit more tricky, I get lost, I find out that things are wrong, I do more, I want to move to R. I can't move to R. It will take me a week. I have a day. Then I want to move to R, it will take me a month, I have a week, then I want to move to R, it will take me a year, I have a month. Then, I want to drink bleach.

Dominion is so great for newbies. Unless you're playing online or the game is a blowout, it's difficult to know who's winning. It's also easy to pick up since the cards are basically the instructions. I'd recommend pretty much any deck building game since they're usually very easy to learn as you go.
Yes, we have. There were compatibility issues that I am still working to resolve.
It's not just tech circles. Many Lyft drivers tell me that they refuse to drive for Uber because Uber is not friendly. That's a significant number of people, more so if you include people they talk to. Word gets out.

Please tell me where every user can create his own gui within 5 minutes with shapes, activex controls, pictures, keyboard shortcuts, combine those with code which was created by macro-recording (and as such needs the most basic knowledge of programming if any), that can be opened by almost every PC in the business world (as 99% has excel installed), which comes with 100's functions and formulas allowing to create anything and everything. On top of that, please no higher costs than ~50$/user.
I disagree. I am working on something right now at my employer where we are taking spreadsheets that have been used for quite a long time (and were created fairly quickly) and they are converting all the business logic to code. Each workbook is taking weeks for them to code and test and then send back to us to sign off on.
if it's important then coder has time, coder will understand, and coder will spend the time.
Yes. Bitcoin certainly shifts the risk from the receiver of money to the payer of money.
Support for the subject of this very post.
Or, you know, maybe his ideas aren't really based on any sound theory at all.

I personally believe that the Austrian business cycle theory has a much better chance of being right than "look, the Republicans did this then the economy crashed 2 decades later" but what do I know, I'm neither a economist nor a historian.

ok, to be totally honest, I'm actually an art historian.
This article mentions Mansions of Madness Second Edition. It's a good game, but the companion app should be used on a tablet (the article mentions a phone), preferably one with a stand.

If you're into H.P. Lovecraft, Eldritch Horror is an even better game, since it kind of captures the vibe of a number of the stories.
Pandemic is another co-op game that's easy to pick up for new players. The one bad thing about co-op games is if there are mostly experienced players and one new person then the experience people will usually influence the new person a lot and cause them to not learn much.
Finance dev guy here.

Excel's dominance in the field is because it is an _application container_ that _non_ dev people can use.

The workflow is this:

- old trader guy says to his junior guy: "hey can you look into xxx."

- junior trader guy says: "sure I'll make a spreadsheet for it"

- old trader guy: "great your model is all I need, let's trade"

- several weeks later, IT guy says: "hey you're running a $100m book out of a spreadsheet, we'll make you a nice system for it, cause your stuff will blow up."

- several months later the IT guy comes back with a web app that does the same thing as the spreadsheet.

- old trader guy says: "hey I can't copy shit around, my shortcuts aren't working, I need to be able to do basic maths on the side, I can't save my work, etc."

- IT guy: "ok I'll make you an export-to-Excel button"

Seriously I've seen this happen over and over again.

The issue is not how to get rid of Excel, it's how do we make a better spreadsheet...
Saw this on /r/golang (I was the one asking why the full Tor browser). I have considered similar [0]. A simple service (or portable exe) that has Tor statically linked and lets you reach/manage a machine from anywhere (think webmin-like web console on onion service) would have real value. Of course it can be authenticated and have the option to open direct connection (webrtc?) if you need fast media playing or direct download.

I mean, end users also groan because the user experience for spreadsheets is far better than writing map reduce jobs. One is a skill that a large percentage of BS graduates have, another is a skill that a small percentage of CS graduates have.
Ok, that makes sense. Thanks
The transition isn't free. Additional software means more technical overhead. Now you need to worry about training your teams to understand and maintain an Access DB instead of pure spreadsheets. You'll now also have to worry about hiring people who'll be able to adapt to the new system. You'll probably need to hire a full time DBA too.

Also, if it ain't broke, why fix it? I feel like a transition to a new system at times is akin to a software rewrite.
Gold has centuries of historical data as a sensible value store. The 'gold rush' didn't RAISE the value gold; gold rushes happened because the value of gold was already high. If anything, gold rushes devalued gold because of the increase in supply. That's very different from what's happening with crypto, in which the run-ups now are happening from speculation. And speculation run-ups ALWAYS burst at some point.

While Bitcoin might have some floor as an investment at this point, it's nowhere near as stable as gold. Equating the two makes very little sense. It would more accurate to compare this to the Tulip bubble than to the gold rush days.
It is delivered through the PPA that you enable after trusting system76. So I don't know where this reasoning is comes from. Also updates in Ubuntu are delivered only after the user explicitly invokes it(in GUI or using apt).
Removing ME [almost] entirely by editing the official bios image with me_cleaner.py and then updating the bios the normal way sounds like it is simpler, if you don't need the extra network-connected ME features there.

I'll admit I was a little afraid of bricking the PC, as with any kind of BIOS modification, but it worked like a charm.
I'm probably coloured by just not really enjoying drafting games in general, but I have trouble imagining trying to get a bunch of newbies going in 7 Wonders— between the glyphs, the complicated upgrade/borrow/payment scheme, and point salad path to victory, it seems like a lot to talk about.

I'd counter the recommendation with something like
>"The (buzzword warning) hyper-growth startup model is in essence 2X revenue, 1.5X costs."

Can you elaborate on this? What is the relationship between those figures? I am guessing there is a third component that those are multiples of?
That's what textbooks are.
The same excel workbook that let's the traders do their job would take months / years to convert to a web app

Simply taking an Excel workbook -- even data connected -- and using that as the requirements that drive an implementation would be extremely quick and speedy, the result having a litany of advantages.

But that's never how such projects go. Instead everyone has to greenfield some idealized pinnacle product.

I don’t think that code will loop, but why take the risk?

There is/was a detailed description of what it takes to stop an OS that included multiple ways to stop the CPUs, executed in order in the hope/expectation that one of them would work that in the end hit a similar loop, but I can’t find it anymore.

Excel is good for many things, but I'm not sure that complex financial models is one of them. Its convenience is balanced out by its lack of testing facilities. If you assume the industry standard of 1-5 bugs per 100 lines of code, you've got a huge liability on your hands.
Very good to hear!
Sia didn't do an ICO. Every coin has been mined, with no premine (although I assume the developers mined the first few blocks at least). The investors could have mined too, if they wanted, along with anyone else. This seems more egalitarian to me.
Not saying that I don't believe you, but I've never seen a VBA code that executes longer than 1-2 minutes. What exactly does one do that takes so long?
You must be missing something. I think you missed the part about paying the guy AND his lawyer an enormous pile of money, then continuing to employ the guy who reported it, and who they're now calling an untrustworthy lying extortionist.

Those words just don't ring true no matter who they came from, and Uber's recent pay-off of a hacker who breached their customer data follows the exact same pattern.

Go back and read the article carefully, please. I'll repeat thisisit's pointed questions for you to address after you've gotten your head around the facts:

>I am sorry but do you mean companies should pay off a whistle-blower rather than say -
>a. litigate, if the claims are baseless
>b. In case the claim has substance to try and rectify the issue along with responsible disclosure?

After getting your head around all that, do you really think the guy who said "The fact that two qualified employees, a lawyer and a security constant, getting a similar sum should hint that it is common." sounds unbiased?
What does stock ubuntu provide that other linux distros do not, and why would going with System76 solve this?

You have to understand that enterprise class companies don’t want Access databases under people desks. It might be valid reason for the sales or ordering guy who loses control to complain. For the IT professionals at the company it allows them to create a scalable solution that can be used at an enterprise level.

Blockchain without the distributed consensus structure and independent incentivized miners is just an inefficient redundant database.
I think pragmatic businesses that employ finance pros / quants are wise to include Excel as an essential part of their product development workflow. Excel is a great prototyping tool, and people are going to use it whether you want them to or not. These folks are motivated by money and don't give a shit about your tool if (they think) it costs them money (or time). Besides that, how many enterprise applications really offer opportunity for prototyping and running small experiments? Excel is to modeling as wireframing is to UI design.

Someone should write a book about productionizing excel models. It's not going away (and shouldn't).

To answer your question
Re Cash: Note I may have a different definition of cash. In my ledger, cash is anything that I can liquidate in <1 days. That includes saving/checking/CD. As for your question about the real cash in your wallet, I tend to not account for those.

Re Interest: Interest should be correctly recorded. That means the interest for your checking/saving/CD should be recorded, as well as clearly separate your loan payment into two legs (principle and interest).
Agreed. The problem is that RDD works extremely well if you want to get ahead.
