What you are noticing is that one person's just cause is another person's business model. For many people the call to "have freedom and keep the government out your life" sounds wonderful, even if they either don't know exactly what that means, or if it means 1000 different things to 1000 people. It just sounds good. But it also allows some other people in the process to make more money. e.g. if you make money by digging something out the ground and selling it, you don't want to be told you can't dig any more and you don't want to be told you have to fill the hole in when you're done and put all the plants and wildlife back how it was. So you get a symbiotic relationship emerging between these two groups of folks : the money-makers spend their time and effort pushing "freedom", for purely personal gain, while the freedom-lovers eat it up, improving their self-esteem and feeling good about themselves even though they have very little actual freedom, and a big dirty hole in the ground next to their town.
> However, they will receive fewer and fewer bitcoin over time because of the fixed supply. At some point doesn't mining become unprofitable, causing the network to crash.

This would actually cause the price of Bitcoin to increase, so that it keeps up with the cost of mining it. The miners won't sell their Bitcoin for less than the cost of electricity.

At some point, large mining operations will run their own power stations, and they'll just run on solar / hydro / geothermal power. They might even sell any surplus energy. Other miners might start paying for their electricity with Bitcoin, so the price of electricity might become directly related to the cost of mining Bitcoin.
False dichotomy... electronic transactions and bitcoin are hardly synonymous.

It is the same thing in Canada. "Engineer" is a protected term so that people can trust that when someone calls themselves an engineer, or does "engineering work", offering services to the public, they can trust that means something.

One difference is that the profession is 'Self Regulating', meaning Professional Engineers Ontario is a non-governmental body made up of Professional Engineers that is trusted by the government to manage the profession. The Quebec version of this organization, Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec, was put under "trusteeship of the provincial government" when the government lost that trust after some infrastructure accidents [0].

The question of what constitutes "engineering work" is well defined in the Professional Engineers Act (Ontario) and would probably cover a lot of what you mentioned as 'science, math, software' not having licensing. So according to Professional Engineers Ontario, some of the types of work that those types of people could produce could require the sign-off of a Professional Engineer if it falls under the definition of "engineering work" by the PEO:

[1] Under the Professional Engineers Act, the “practice of professional engineering” means “any act of planning, designing, composing, evaluating, advising, reporting, directing or supervising that requires the application of engineering principles and concerns the safeguarding of life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare or the environment, or the managing of any such act”.

To determine whether you are practising professional engineering, ask yourself three questions:

Are you planning, designing, composing, evaluating, advising, reporting, directing or supervising, or managing any of these acts?
Are engineering principles required to carry out the act?
Does the act concern the safeguarding of life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare or the environment?

As a licensed engineer in Ontario, I'm to display my licence at my place of work. I also keep another image close by to make sure we all remember not to take ourselves too seriously.

It’s not just a backend, Rails is a full stack framework - from database administration to data modeling, business logic to frontend. It literally has built in frontend templating in the form of erb.

That said, I think that frontend development has evolved into a place where frontend development is better done separately. As part of its evolution, Rails integrated Rails API and can be configured minimally to be a backend API only.
The webpack integration coming in Rails 5.2 starts to do exactly what you suggest. We’ve had the beta in general use for weeks and I’d say the framework is going in the direction you want.

This article seems a bit of overengineering by comparison and isn’t representative of what’s new out-of-the-box.

Read more history. The tangent you're rambling on about both muddies the discussion and falls short of factual accuracy.

A man named Oskar Schindler enthusiastically and freely undertook business with actual Nazis and even became a member of the Nazi Party. His actions saved the lives of well over a thousand Jews and cost him all the money he had amassed prior to the war. Hatreon has nothing to do with this history and Patreon's poor terms even less so.

> Not sure if I entirely agree with/understand this. Even if they do want Bitcoin to succeed, how different is it from the current capitalist system if 40% of the bitcoins are owned by 1% of the population?

1%? According to a Bloomberg article[1] it's 1000 people owning 40% of all bitcoins. That's about 0.000014286% of the world population. I doubt any of the are involved in mining either now either, more likely just early adopters.

I think the point would not be to crash the market.
The point would be to use the unregulated market to harvest money from people who don't know better.

This happens all the time even in well regulated markets.
Whether it's tricky fund rules, hidden fee structures, selling bogus investment strategies, ponzi schemes, market manipulation, front running, or simply choosing a trading strategy that plays off of other trading strategies, if there is a way to separate the pigs and sheep from their money, someone will try it.

the bounties are low. and registering to those things require some loss of anonymity before you do get paid.

those are users dogfooding a product they paid for. and probably well off already, so the twitter bragging rigths is more valuable than the loss of anonymity + $500.
I've found pandas great for interactive sessions, for the most part, but I found doing joins was way too fiddly and I'd much rather do it in SQL. Could be I missed an important pandas concept in there somewhere that would have made it make more sense, or maybe the API has improved since the last time I tried. Generally I've found my SQL ends up being clearer and more readable after the fact.

>The inside/outside issue is really the key. Everybody is an outsider in some context. Understanding your place and whether or not you are inside or outside is critical. If you want to be inside, you also need to follow the inside rules -- even if you don't agree with them. In my experience, this is where people get into troubles. If you say, "Hey, I don't agree with that, I don't want to do it" the response is universally, "OK. There is absolutely no problem with that. You are outside."

>In short, there is no problem getting inside, but you actually need to want to be inside -- not one foot in and one foot out. If you want to be accepted as Japanese, then you have to be Japanese. Most immigrants do not actually want this for some reason.

This is interesting, as it contrasts with the fact that I can disagree with the majority about how things should be done in my own country (and act accordingly) without risking the insider status.

Since QC will in all probability break wallets would there be any reason not to short BTC over say a 10 year time frame?
Because it helps tell the narrative of a "bubble".

If bitcoin is a bubble, it will scare away investors.

If it is not a bubble, then people might take money from elsewhere and put it into bitcoin.

Look at the people who have an interest in bitcoin being a bubble, and you'll see the strings they are pulling on.
Generally, people say to shorten a text because the best way to write a great text is to take a good text and cut out anything that isn't great, not because the audience has poor reading skills.
That's really difficult for me. I always end up writing novels for emails then wondering why people only answered the first question.

Then, and only then, should you look at your service levels and determine if there is a need for some sort of Hadoop or Spark infrastructure.

The existence of ultra-wealthy people isn't inherently bad.

The question is about the alternative. If everyone's quality of life improves (including relative to the ultra-wealthy), I'd rather that happen than reduce everyone's quality of life out of a sense of "fairness."

Claiming most libertarians act against their own interests because they think they can become ultra-wealthy is straw-manning the view.

You are both right and wrong.

New financial tech takes awhile to become popular enough to become dangerous. So while CDOs were invented in the late 80s, it wasn't until 2000 or so that they started to become a craze that lead to dangerous conditions.

The government through GSEs and FDIC did, as you say, constantly blow air into the housing bubble. CDOs were also a big compounding factor in that they were willing to back an enormous amount of low-interest high-risk loans. Exactly the loans which blew up.

Excellent alternatives to pants that I hope the fashion trends experiment with. Long shirts with dark sweats or "leggings" of some kind is something to try. If shirts are long enough, then what holds the sweats/leggings up doesn't matter as much, giving more choice. (Most men don't want to expose their hairy legs except on the hottest of days.)

Some ideas I've had luck with: Have one actionable item per email. State a question in the subject. Expect a clear answer (not quite "yes/no" but something definite). Spend a short time (one or two paragraphs describing the question in detail, but don't make it longer than that.

End the email with the question in the subject asked again.

I can count on one hand the number of good recruiters I've worked with over the years. Generally they view it all as a numbers game, spam over candidates until one sticks. They won't go out of their way to understand things is what I meant by "ambitious" there... If a candidate is thinking, "Well, my resume is basically just a link to my GitHub profile," or, "I have all these awesome references on LinkedIn..." I would caution them to not rely on HR people going that extra step to get the info -- it should all be on the resume or it's probably not going to get looked at.
I am a licensed engineer in Montana and can say that we have a similar law as Oregon. The law is essentially states that one cannot claim to be or practice engineering without proper licensing. One question that often comes up is, "how can a college grad work as an engineer without calling themselves an engineer?" This is accomplished by registering as an Engineering Intern (EI). Until I got my PE, my title was Engineering Technician.
There _are_ ways to set up arbitration to be reasonably neutral if that's a goal.

One contract along those lines that I saw basically goes like this: each party picks its own arbitrator (presumably biased toward that party, whatever). Then those two arbitrators together select a third arbitrator, who will actually arbitrate the dispute.

Of course that's not what binding arbitration clauses look like, at all.

Right, it concluded "there is still no evidence of a protective effect of sunscreen against MN development in children". Melanocytic Nevi are precursors to melanoma, and childhood sunburns give people an early start in developing them.

Here's another study arguing that sunscreen might inhibit the inflammatory response without actually reducing the burn. Their abstract concludes "As such, sunscreens might promote instead of protect against melanoma." : http://journals.lww.com/melanomaresearch/Abstract/2005/02000...

SPF is actually measured by reduction of redness. That study points out that reduction of redness doesn't necessarily come with a reduction of damage!

If people are preventing their body from expressing its natural sun defenses and going out and overexposing themselves to the sun, believing themselves to protected... If that protection is illusory, that's kind of a recipe for disaster. People could be getting burned and not even know it... They won't even know to put aloe on.

Take that one with this one, which postulates that sun exposure isn't what causes malignant melanoma, sunburns are:

> Although there is convincing evidence that nonmelanoma skin cancer is related to cumulative sun exposure, there is less evidence of that association with CMM. If CMM were related to cumulative sun exposure, one would expect that outdoor workers would have a greater incidence of CMM than indoor workers. However, that is not the case. The incidence of CMM is actually increasing among indoor workers who receive three to nine times less solar UV radiation than outdoor workers. Furthermore, there is a higher incidence of CMM among whites living in northern states such Delaware, Vermont, and New Hampshire (>30 per 100,000), which enjoy less year-round sunlight and UV radiation than southern states such as Texas, Florida, Arizona, and New Mexico (<25 per 100,000). In California, whites living in San Francisco had a CMM incidence of 30.5 per 100,000, whereas those living in Los Angeles had an incidence of 24.9 per 100,000.
There are a few studies that suggest that chronic, low-grade exposure to sunlight may be protective against CMM. In one Austrian study, those with chronic sun exposure without sunburn had a reduced incidence of CMM compared with those with recreational sun exposure. In Germany, outdoor activities during childhood, in the absence of sunburn, were associated with a lower risk of melanoma. Chronic, repeated sun exposure may allow the skin to accommodate to UV radiation by increasing melanin production, thereby reducing the risk of sunburn. An English study published in 2011 showed that regular weekend sun exposure had a protective effect against CMM, and the researchers postulated that this may be mediated by photo-adaptation or higher vitamin D levels.

> I've always been so puzzled by these "synthetic" financial products.

Well what you are describing with your swap scenario is the very definition of a synthetic product, so your question as posed doesn't really make any sense:)

The real answer probably has a few reasons

1) There are more benefits to owing a bond than just the coupon and principle payments, why give those up by handing ownership of the bond to the bank?

With a CDS you still own the bond and the insurance in the case of a default, and remember a default doesn't mean the bonds go to zero.

What if the bond doesn't default but goes way up in value, you've handed that value over to the bank rather than getting it yourself.

What if you want to sell the bond before the expiry date.

All of these are answerable on their own but you can see how this actually rapidly complicates things.

2) and this is probably alot more important, What if I don't have the bond itself but still want default insurance on the bond? I might be a large counterpart to the company, htey could be my largest client or supplier.

I often wonder how many authentication log files contain passwords because people in a hurry append it to the username on accident (not visually confirming the Tab/Enter/switch to the password entry).

This is also vaguely similar to the 'test SSL submit' security technique of first entering enough data into login forms to process a submission, and then entering real login info into the 'login failed' retry page after verifying SSL. This has lost some of its luster as non-SSL form submission has fallen out of wide usage.
