If the choice is between not going to college vs. earning a degree, statistically you earn more simply by having a college degree, regardless of the major. Bachelor Degree holders, on average, earn a million dollars more during their life time than those who only have a high school diploma. Even if you are accounting for lost earning potential, cost of tuition, supplies etc... your still talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars more earned than if you were to not achieve a degree. If you are talking in relation to going to university for a STEM degree vs. going to school for art history, you could certainly argue that STEM will will always make more. But I would still recommend young people go to school over not. Even if it is something 'useless'. Either way you slice it, the data indicates that encouraging youth to go to college is still worth it. Even with how expensive college is.

4. Markets aren't actually efficient because they are stacked in favor of incumbents through their ability to lobby for anti-competitive legislation, as can be seen with the perversion of the copyright and patent systems.
I bet you think you aren't an outlier.
You have no experience with CPS, do you? There is no court involved at the beginning. They can just take your children away on their say so. Afterwards you will have to go though the courts to get them back.
This is from be ACA but I think it gives the general idea of the tactics insurance companies use:

https://health.usnews.com/health-news/articles/2008/08/25/ho...

Here's one from after ACA passed and was implemented:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mental-illness-health-care-insu...

The ACA attempted to make things more fair in terms of appealing denials and mandating certain coverages. It's not reasonable to believe that Aetna's profit comes from offer better preventative care. I'd need to see some evidence to believe that. Certainly before ACA health insurance companies let people die in the name of corporate greed. They have an economic incentive to deny care. Evidence of this is in the fact that the CEO is getting a $500 million bonus.

Yes the $500 million comes from stock price increase. But that comes from profit and the profit, at least partly, comes from denying care.

EDIT:

It happens often enough that there is a market for lawyers to help out when insurance claims are denied.

While I agree with your argument in general, I'm not sure I understand this particular use case. There is an owner of this game who holds a key and decides when and how to mint new cats and generally holds the ability to change the rules of the game. Without this owner the cats are completely useless.

What is the benefit game-wise to trade the cats on a public blockchain? To an outside observer it seems like the users have to pay transfer fees at the order of a dollar for no particular reason. As long as someone controls issuance (which is completely reasonable for this type of game) they could just track ownership as well which would be trivial to scale.

It's fine for an api as well. When you create your app, just use the --api flag and it will leave out all of the front-end stuff.
For me the main point is WebAssembly. Javascript was the only option for the web (As the article notices you can compile/transpile to Javascript but this was adding more complexity for less gain).
With more options developers will use languages that better adapt their taste and needs. C++ can be highly optimized when creating WebAssembly code, C# and Java offer flexibility, Python and Groovy are easier to star to use, etc.

Javascript was used beyond it's own merits as a language. It was the only feasible door to pluguinless development in the web. WebAssembly will allow people to choose. And even that a lot of developer will still have Javascript as a first option, others will not, and the web development environment is going to deeply change.

This is nice, but how quickly can you withdraw USD from Bitfinex?

You can get USDT out but what do you do with it if you want USD?

I mean, any half competent startup should be able to rig up a system allowing deposits and withdrawals of cryptocurrencies only AS LONG as no real world banks are involved.

The weak spot of all crypto exchanges has been banking regulations.

I don't understand the animus towards CEO pay. It can easily be applied to any major celebrity or athlete.

If anyone could do what they do, they'd be paid accordingly.

The market (via the shareholders) sets the rate of pay. Why the general public cares about one and not the other is beyond me.
Well, I would say there are two things to consider:

1) it's not just an investment in the asset.

It pays dividends. The asset can breed once per week, so that could be $1k+ per week generated.. paying for itself over time. Since this is the lone genesis kitty, its offspring could fetch a totally arbitrary value.

2) This is ethereum we are talking about. If the ether was bought 1 year ago today, it would have cost $1,557.1. Someone could have made a $1.5k investment 1 year ago which is now paying for itself weekly.

I coasted through five years of college, graduating with a CS and Math joint-major, three internships, and 20 more credit-hours then I needed. I did the bare minimum of studying, and applied little to no time management skills (Unless you count the occasional half-assed assignment finished on Sunday night.) I spent more time worrying about World of Warcraft, then I did about the possibility of ending up on academic probation.

Compared to a 9-5 job, yeah, college was a five year vacation. There's no boss that will have nasty conversations with you, if your work isn't done, if you fall behind on assignments too much, you can just choose to not do them, and spend an extra hour or two cramming for the midterm + final. Nobody cares if you sleep through a class, or two, or seven.

... Obviously if you went to a difficult school, or don't have the social safety net of living with your parents, or you had to work full-time to pay for school, your experiences might be different.
>You'd be surprised how crazy CPS is if you aren't wealthy and white.

Even then, I have some relatives (white and middle-class) that lived in an apartment. The people on the other side of the wall reported them for yelling at their kids. Fortunately for them they had a friend at the CPS who called them and told them that CPS was coming the next morning to take away their kids. So they packed up and moved out of state that night.
This is off topic but since a lot of people seem to be experts I just wanted to ask.

Can someone explain this to me

The flat-lines. I have seen it several times. Is is because of lack of data of trading or lack of trading or what's making the price flatline like that?
That's definitely not the default with Protonmail. They'll allow you to change it to that if you really want to though.

On mine at least, proton prompts me for username and password, then 2 factor auth, then the decryption code.

The idea seems promising. If I'm not mistaken it would let you statically declare that an integer had to be between values X and Y, for example.
I love that movie, but I don't get the impression he cheated anyone from it other than the guy who wrote DOS. Even then, it's not cheating to buy someone's product that you see potential in, companies do that every day. You can't really say he cheated Apple because they were both "stealing" ideas from Xerox.
Proof of work doesn't give it value. That value (energy) is lost to heat, and the amount put in tends to rise with the market value.

The value dictates the amount of PoW needed, not the other way round.

Yea but, the thing about ethereum is its conceptually about building on top of the technology.

There is nothing stopping people from building on top of even the cryptocat system, making a game where these cats are usable for any of your listed game mechanics.

You are correct but from lawyer perspective (IANAL btw) it is important they use the word "believe". As I was explained by a friend who is attorney, if you never had experience with certain law, like in this case perhaps never been subpoena for records by US, then you have a right to say you "believe" something is not the case. This is still not deceiving statement. But the moment you have been proven wrong by US Gov for example, your claim would have to be removed.

on FastMail alone I did not like how slow it is. I was testing them and Protonmail at the same time and was very impress how simple it is to setup my multiple domains/users on Proton and how fast encryption/decryption works. And Protonmail "[...] is outside of US and EU jurisdiction, only a court order from the Cantonal Court of Geneva or the Swiss Federal Supreme Court can compel us to release the extremely limited user information we have.[...] [1]

https://protonmail.com/security-details

Full disclosure: I don't work for Proton; I'm just their happy mailer :)

EDIT: Slow I mean their GUI comparing to Proton. It might be more the number of extensions I have to block or limit different shenanigans such as AdBlock etc.. but needless to say, Proton does not have that problem.
It completely baffles me as well, It is hard to be a bigger complete and utter tool than invite this into the home. Not least because it does NOTHING you actually need. Just a privacy miner that you pay hard cash for. Amazon is laughing.
I do precisely this with Fastmail and it works a treat. Setting up Fastmail with a custom domain was a joy, I can easily filter based on the To address, and you can setup a wildcard identity so you can trivially send email from whatever name you like at your domain.

To me the only downside is the mobile app isn't quite as polished as Gmail. It doesn't work offline, and I notice occasional bugs or awkwardnesses. But it's still very usable, and I much prefer the Fastmail web interface to Gmail.

Edit: Also, the Fastmail importer didn't work very well on my large number of Gmail messages. It failed a few times and restarting it resulted in duplicate messags.
Disclaimer: I am a recreational poker player, and have interacted with all sorts of rec players from serious semi-pros to weekend tourist players to total degenerate gamblers. The answer to this question will inevitably be personal and will vary based on your own personal ethics.

As someone who has quit a job partially over an ethical objection to the product subject matter (it was a surveillance system), I would have no problem at all taking a job at an online casino.

In terms of societal value, I don't see much of a difference between a gambling site and an online stock brokerage or financial trading firm. They're both zero-sum games, where the host takes a cut of the profit. Both can equally lead people to financial ruin, and can be equally addictive. So if you'd work for E-trade or even a hedge fund, why wouldn't you work for PokerStars?

In terms of legality, OP has already specified that it's legal in his/her region, so there should be no moral objection there.

In terms of providing end user value, at least they are providing entertainment value. There are plenty of worse tech jobs where you simply exploit end users and others reap most of the actual product value.

Other commenters have covered the Video Game / tobacco / Facebook angles so I won't go there.

OP, if you managed to find a job offer at one of these gaming companies (you didn't mention that), then congratulations. My understanding is that online gaming industry is quite like the video game industry, where it's tougher than average for an "outsider" to break into the industry.
Ethereum didn't just shorten block times, it uses a variant of the GHOST algorithm, which as originally proposed for Bitcoin as a way to speed up blocks and increase throughput while maintaining good decentralization and security.
If that's true, then I believe it means that the defenders are overcompensating for stealing. As I understand it, in equilibrium you'll have the feature that the defense cannot benefit by guarding steals less closely in exchange for better fielding position.

If trying to steal loses bases, then the defense could spend less effort preventing steals, and more effort fielding.

This principle comes up a lot: if you get into every college/job you applied to, then you probably didn't apply to enough schools/jobs, unless 1) you didn't want to go to Harvard/AppAmaFaceGooSoft, 2) you got in to Harvard/AppAmaFaceGooSoft, 3) you couldn't afford the applications.

>Shervin Pishevar takes immediate leave of absence from Hyperloop One and Sherpa Capital

>Shervin Pishevar, co-founder of Sherpa Capital and co-founder of Hyperloop One, is taking an immediate leave of absence from both companies, as well as from his board responsibilities at Sherpa’s portfolio companies.

>Pishevar, in his statement via a lawyer, said it was his idea to take a leave of absence and that the decision was not made lightly. Pishevar’s hope is that his absence “will eliminate any potential distraction to the great and important work being done at these companies.”

This comes about a week after multiple women accused Pishevar of sexual misconduct.

Another person accused of sexual harassment. I wonder if there are any statistics kept on number of lawsuits filed in a quarter, because I believe this quarter may take the cake.
>but you don't hear a lot of stories of "I wanted to go to college but couldn't get a loan".

I suspect that it's either because you're not listening or people aren't talking about it. I had 3 years of on the job engineering experience and an established, good credit history when I got denied a loan for my last year of undergrad at a state school. Mind you this was fairly recently and my only loan for school I applied for ever. I could be the freak accident but it doesn't seem all that probable.
This is from my own understanding, which might not be correct, but had friends in this field.

So papers and magazines need to fill pages, so that a they have a product and b hey get advertising revenue.

So pr is half about building a great relationship so you can get them to put in your 'good stuff', the easy sells, but them also having them be on your side to run your duff stuff - getting you in at the last minute or pushing a product that isn't all that. But generally the lunches and drinks and even holidays were about relationships and a small amount of 'gifting' - but at the end of the day the journalist can always turn you down. But then they might not fill all their pages. And that really is what they are paid to do.

But in terms of the freebies, it's just as you say - gig tickets, lunches, samples, goodie bags, holidays - but don't forget that most of these things will have you with the PR person, not alone - so not like you can take your partner etc. Though the gifts you usually can take home and keep. The paper/magazine aren't that interested in them.

> You'd be surprised how crazy CPS is if you aren't wealthy and white.

When people say they have nothing to hide, they're also saying they have no abuse of power to confront, and nobody who is persecuted to stand with in solidarity. And for some reason, they think they're the standard, or that any of this is new. Look into history, with any totalitarian government, any oppressive king, you'll always find people going "doesn't affect me". It's as old, and as valuable, as dirt.
Yes, that is precisely what the problem is. There will one day be a run on the exchanges and it will get nasty very quickly.

That's a very outdated definition of scheduling in regards to cloud computing. The schedulers of Mesos, Omega, Borg, etc. all do allow for CPU-load based scheduling, and have schedulers for other scenarios.
