You might need to work with fractions of "atomic values" to get the desired level of accuracy. So you have to store not logical cents, but 1/100th of cents or something like that. Much easier and straightforward just use decimal-like type.
Qt creator integration relies
This is what I'm waiting for someone to explain. It's the same with blockchain, though. It's all a very neat concept, but it doesn't solve anything real-world except to power Bitcoin.

Smart contracts just sound like... normal contracts. Like the ones that have been around in some form or another for millennia. Most contracts are just "if X then Y" but using legal lingo instead of code.
I don't know if I would rely on this one. Its about changing rooms (with a very specific definition) and bath rooms. A camera in the living room would probably not trigger the law. You might be there with the bedroom, but I wonder if that law would be triggered by a private security system for the home owner.

Which is why they shouldn't operate as corporations. They can still be "for-profit" but under a different corporate scheme. Make all the kids/parents shareholders/members in the association and keep those profits internal.
In the three accidents where I was driving:

A ford explorer in front of me on a 2-lane road going about 45mph turned into an apartment complex, then used their drive to do a big sweeping U turn back across my lane, and through a stop sign (for the driveway people turning onto the main road). I was 17 years old but I don't fault myself for not driving more defensively. The guy just turned into the apartments, when he swooped back out I swerved but it was all very quick. That's not something you're prepared to defend for until you've seen it happen, frankly.

The next one was very minor, but we had two left-hand turn lanes and we were approaching a traffic light. I was in the right-hand lane, with no cars directly in front of me. I had a red car to my left, and a black car in front of him. The light turned yellow, and the black car was going to stop. The red car swerved quickly into my lane to go around the black car, and he clipped the front of my car. It knocked off a light cover, but otherwise no real damage. He ran the light and did not stop. There was no time to react, he literally yanked his wheel over, and I could not swerve right anyway, as there were vehicles there.

On the motorcycle, I was driving on a two-lane road behind a large vehicle, I think it was an SUV. Someone was waiting to turn left in the opposite lane (so they wanted to turn across our lane). There were many cars behind me as well. The person didn't see me and turned after the SUV passed. They stopped halfway through the turn, by which time I had already put down the bike while slamming on the brakes. The bike hit the car and totaled, and I slid down my lane with virtually no injuries. I was fairly well equipped so I just had a couple of very minor scrapes. She had no insurance. This accident was most avoidable in theory. Perhaps I could have positioned myself better, and she might have seen me. But probably not. I could not have swerved around her, though, unless I anticipated her stopping halfway. If she didn't stop halfway, and I swerved right, I would have gone through her passenger window. If I swerved left, it was a head-on collision.

During all of the other accidents, I was not the driver.
Wait, what's even different? Serious question.
Just a hunch, but I'm guessing the call to capture a screenshot is restricted by Apple, forcing them to do it the 'correct' way.

Sales Prospecting Techniques
Can't they just sell access to their address?
This is a feature that might create some value for people who are not your intended market. They are not your intended market in several ways:

+ They are high demand.
+ They are predisposed to delete their accounts.
+ They have low interest in what you offer.

Signups only matter if the person is retained. It is not the best place to optimize. Making a product good enough to overcome that reluctance is harder and being easy to implement is why account deletion is attractive.

If people can try out the product/service without an account, then there's no friction for people with a reluctance to sign up. Not requiring an account may mean directly interacting with users on a one on one basis. That's a good thing at the point when signups by people who demand account deletion move the needle on the size of the user base.

There is no such things as neutral news. But you can strive for some good, honest reporting with high journalistic standards.
My experience with an HDHomeRun Prime (and CableCard) is that none of Plex's DVR features (not even live TV) work with DRM programs. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but DRM content only appears to be accessible using something like Windows Media Center (specifically, PlayReady). It's not a big deal for me since most of the DRM content channels (that I'm interested in) also offer online streaming options, but it is annoying.
I absolutely abhor and detest the way Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter mess with my timeline. At least give me an option to sort everything in a reverse chronological order -- no "tweets I may have missed" -- by default. I hope the left friends screen will not have this mess.
Been a while since I've used Python but I'm pretty sure this code isn't performing any validation the inbound events[1].

I'd expect some kind of signature validation or a call out to a Patreon API to verify the authenticity of the request. Otherwise if I know the endpoint of this handler I can get it to tweet anything I'd like from your account with a simple cURL request. Could also specify a dummy patron_link and get the service to bombard it.

The nodes don't all separately query the source. Instead, someone queries the source and sends a transaction to the network, with the data and the source's signature. The transaction gets incorporated into a block, updates the state, and now everybody has the same data.
> I will never understand this trope of "pointers are hard to understand." Yes, they can get you in trouble if used without care. But hard to understand? What's so hard to understand about an address?

I don't think anybody ever said that pointers are hard to understand, they aren't. Go is a proof of this as even people coming from Python or Javascript can easily pick pointers up even if they have never heard about the heap and the stack before.

It would be, but AirBnB's legality and where it fits in are constantly under dispute. If the jurisdiction has short term rental laws that fit, then yes its landlord -> occupant, but many places that rent AirBnB are not legally allowed in the first place. The law is different than common sense.
Die-Hard Entrepreneurs Refuse to Quit
I wonder if it has to do with pic size and bandwidth.. since they never seemed to focus on Android. Due to a lot of low end devices .. and meaning no value for advertisers ... ?? Also they ain't Instagram .. or Flickr.. it was disappearing pics ... Meant to last few seconds,.. right ?? Or I got this wrong?
That's your opinion. To me, they are exactly that - gadgets for early adopters, nothing more. You have no clue where future will go, so that part of reasoning doesn't make much sense. Also future will arrive with or without your financial contribution, just by pure scale of mankind.

For example I base my shopping decisions on true long-term added value to my life - and such thingies fail on that scale. With this logic, I bought recently my first paraglide because I know what profound impact it will have on my life. And in same vein, I still use 2-year old cheap big huawei honor phone that is not great at anything, but good enough for everything I ever need from it. Explaining this to some iphone x owner is a good lesson on futility.

Maybe in 20 years these thingies will be different, then I'll adjust my opinion about them. No reason to do it sooner.

As for consumerism OP mentioned, most people are incredibly selfish, me probably included. It's just very hard to live with oneself while admitting it, so people go to great lengths to paint themselves in some positive light, see argumentation above. Living frugal is doable but hard, a selfless act for potential future. Respect to those from high above
Is this thing still a total bandwidth hog and downloading all snaps in alphabetical order instead the videos I want to see? This app was unusable in countries with low bandwidth like e.g. the Philippines. This is why Instagram wins... Instagram is really really great engineering and testing. I would even say it's one of the best optimized mobile apps out there.

They sell the proof of identity or authentication information that is used to associate a person with an Ethereum account to someone else, out of band. Ethereum only knows the address to send to, and has no idea who or what is behind it at the time.

If the beneficiary dies before 2035, their heirs will collect, for instance. It is pretty simple to do a TVM calculation to determine the current value of a future benefit, and without all that legal-system stuff that is being bypassed through use of smart contracts, the intent of the trust creator can be more easily bypassed.
>The exchange with those Tethers? I am not sure hedging on an exchange with this kind of counterparty exposure is a good idea.

Agree. I don't use Bitfinex and I don't short. But many people do and for certain risks/fluctuations it provides them some hedge.

>It will be interesting to see which tokens/coins are those because I am sure all of them have positive correlation with BTC.

Watching the recent lead-up to the 2X fork (and subsequent last minute cancellation) was quite instructive. There was a lot of correlation between BTC and most Alts (initially everyone selling alts so they could boost their BTC holdings prior to the fork date and then everyone selling BTC to get back in to Alts as soon as the fork cancelled). XRP on the other hand stayed relatively stable throughout the worst of it.

It's still early days but if the overall crypto market becomes big enough, has sufficiently diverse investors (with differing long-term/short-term goals) and some form of regulation appears to remove the worst excesses of scammers/manipulators, I think a handful of coins/tokens will float and exist independently of BTC's fortunes.

>These days, where is the lock-in?

Photos, apps purchased, and iMessage are overwhelmingly the reasons I don't see people switch. All their kids photos, etc, are stored away and they'd have to figure out how to nicely export them. iMessage is seemless for them across devices while an alternative like Hangouts doesn't have the market penetration—it isn't ubiquitously used even among just Android users. Apps purchased I added to the list because often people don't think about it, but if you mention "re-buying all your apps" you see the frown appear on their face.

This is the main reason why I like the idea of a wiki-based news source. That "simple" assertion can be clarified by future editors in exactly that manner, and traditional news sources cannot be.

Already Wikipedia is excellent in many ways for exactly this -- during the Catalonia independence event, Wikipedia had way deeper context about the situation than other news sources, including information about previous attempts at independence and other historical information that was relevant in contextualizing the events.

That said, I'm not sure that this is a feasible vision. Especially since this seems to be producing more long-form journalism rather than current-event based journalism. The line is obviously a bit blurry, but "Big Read: How fact checking evolved in the internet era" is journalism, for sure, but not really the kind of thing that benefits from a wiki approach. "Why Rohingya are world’s ‘most-persecuted minority’" is a lot closer, but the article itself is not aimed at a single continuous entry point for an ongoing event, but instead attempts to provide a single viewpoint into the situation.

Yes, I should have been more accurate in my original post - what's the point for the user :-)
I've lived in Hawaii. Unfortunately, there is not a lot you can do about the cockroaches. You can keep things as clean as possible, but there will always be a few. Especially, after it rains, they tend to come indoors where it is dry. I would just try to smash them, so they didn't start breeding in my house.

EDIT: I did not witness your Airbnb, of course; it is entirely possible that the place was infested. I was just put in mind of a friend who freaked out when she saw one single cockroach and told us our place was infested.
So, this appears to be about having an allegedly consensual relationship with a subordinate. And I get why that's a problem, because of the power dynamic.

But I think it's a little funny if this is how he ended up getting pushed out at Google given that Sergey Brin had an affair with a Google X employee while working on Glass and is none the worse for it.
> Well, you might say mutating a variable is not functional programming - but i don't care, my function is still pure and it is referentially transparent and i don't have to think a lot about the various choices that i may have to do the same thing (map, reduce, etc etc).

I completely agree with this. I think the core advantage of functional programming is the ability to generalize across contexts, which is what makes the purity of the function an important feature. The standard library for Scala is full of while loops and mutable buffers, because if the function call is pure you can then optimize performance through these.

If I make a new context “HasLength” with a single function, “length” and implement it for List, it doesn’t matter how that “length” function is implemented, just that the only context it is bound to is the List one. On the other hand, when implementing “length” for a distributed context, the map-reduce way is probably much easier and more efficient to implement rather than trying to coordinate sistributed variables manually.
What? Of course they have to care.
That’s not a captcha, that’s used when you’re locked out of your account and they need to verify if it’s you. Like when they ask for your ID card.

I assume this only happens if you’ve uploaded pictures of yourself in the past, so they can compare them.
Even if it's technically not allowed, AirBnB is not proactively enforcing the ToS by checking the properties prior to rental. Without a legal framework for prosecution, the most we can realistically expect is a refund to the consumer and banishment of the property owner.

Yeah the owner of the website which include the script has only their website data.

If only there was a news source devoid of punditry and slant. But that seems to be the only thing that sells anymore. And sadly, upon looking into their Chronological Stories page, there are already several "Let me tell you why" articles, and articles ending with the ever-transparent "here comes an op-ed" question mark.
Same, no luck trying to build it from the gitHub clone on Ubuntu.

Still, it does seem like an interesting idea. Maybe one I'll tuck away for the next time I have some spare cycles for a project and want to learn a new language.
The Easy Way to Test Your Logstash Configuration
I was hoping that was not case. I was hoping something like Safari on a Mac Pro.
Even at the Fortune x00 companies I've consulted for, I believe I would have been able to get that approved. Any time you are asking people to manually administer boxes, those people are going to want tooling for that job. Manual deploy takes 8+ hours and sometimes ssh sessions time out or are interrupted? We'd like to install a persistent session management tool.

I'm not sure if you're saying that myopic management won't see a business justification or that there truly is not one.
There is such a thing as non-profit organizations. And businesses will generally reinvest profits into the company themselves as the ROI is seen as higher than just accrued interest.

If the private school really has no interest in investing in the school itself instead just pocketing money, I think they will find they soon have no money left because parents have pulled their kids from a failing school with a bad reputation.

On the other hand, no matter how poor a public school is, it will always continue to get money, because the law demands people pay for it whether they send their kids there or not. So there's no incentive to improve, or fix management, because there's no real risk.

The inability to let failure happen combined with legally sanction monopoly is a big problem with some public institutions.
Depends on what you care about, I suppose. I find it interesting, because I am interested in low-power processors.

This move, if it works well for WD, could lead to more attention being paid to a more open competitor to ARM, which would provide some competition and put downward pressure on ARM pricing. That, in turn, could have some potentially interesting second-order effects.

But yeah, if you only care about consumer prices and visible features, this is probably pretty boring stuff.
