We also tax other benefits that you receive - like if you are granted housing in exchange for services rendered as a property manager. The IRS doesn't like barter systems. If you win money gambling or prizes in a competition you have to pay taxes on that too.

If you're receiving 50k in tuition in exchange for work/research, that's a valuable benefit and part of your compensation. IMO the universities should pay their researchers more. They're effectively using the exemption and the high cost of tuition to lower their research costs. For many top institutions they get public funds, underpay their researchers, and use them to acquire patents which they license out for large sums. So they're publicly funded but they own the patents, earn a lot of revenue from licensing but tuition keeps going up like crazy.

Politically it's probably a really dumb move, but they're receiving valuable compensation in the form of tuition. I'd love to have all my primary costs covered by my employer and be paid less (which would drop my tax bracket) too. Unis can pay their researchers more.
It's really nice tool indeed, I much prefer this to Paw and Postman strictly due to UX. Less tabs, less popups etc, easier to navigate. I don't mind Electron either.
I know it's shameless plug but I can't resist sharing my own tool that I created for monitoring REST apis, if anyone is interested: http://www.apilope.com

But you can't affect physical property over the Internet (yet, much). The security risk still seems pretty minimal.
I also use cd / mv / cp / rm, but sometimes Finder (macOS) / Explorer (win) / Dolphin (kde) works better.

Not for other humans, for me as well.

It has all those shiny colors, icons, columns, drag & drop, that makes it easier and faster, when you have more complicated task.

I guess it all depends, but GUI in general is a step forward.
Ah, I see the misunderstanding. Although I would note that if you are not a citizen or permanent resident, then I believe your foreign-source income is not subject to US tax. So for example if you had a home in another country that you rented out, that wouldn't be taxable in the US even though it would be for a similarly-situated US citizen.
WAR? haha I mean... I guess that would lead one to try and apply some analysis to generals.

This seems like a fun exercise in modeling data and doing some quick analysis. Obviously not for doing any worthwhile analysis or grading our existing general officer corps or putting any other weights in there.

For true analysis of tactical prowess you're looking at battle-to-battle analysis I'd imagine and metrics just don't go back that far. "most flanks covered", "most miles gained", "most efficiency per round of ammunition"... rather dark either way.

Well done for the purpose and nice post about how to gather / munge data!

Out of curiosity, anybody know what Schwarzkopf's stats would have been?
Yet the solution Bitcoin supporters have to slow transactions etc. is Lightning network which in principle makes transactions centralized.
It's the first term of the Maclaurin series

You might also be fixing it for some too, if they're running other Qt applications. :)
Yes, I see where it goes. Either premiums would rise on the basis of lifestyle, or supplementary health insurance companies would pick up the slack. Your choice to smoke, have unprotected sex, or BASE jump would come with additional costs, which would be in addition to the cost of the cigarettes, wingsuits, etc - rather than being an externality which society pays.

Note that we already do this for life insurance, and fully accept doing so. You cannot even get a short term policy without a blood test. Why should health insurance be any different?

You're talking about imperfections in the market. I.e. You having a cheaper source of power than everyone else which allows you to mine the same amount of bitcoins at lower costs and thus higher profits. Thus, some of the $27 million is not used on electricity and becomes profits instead. In reality, how likely is this scenario in which you have a persistent cheaper source of energy which other miners cannot access?
You are assuming that every doctor not accepted into the very small Residency Class each year is unqulified. You'd be surprised to see how tiny most residency classes are in the US. Also, they are usually closed to foreign medical graduates, even the absolutely highest scorers with immaculate credentials.

The more obvious explanation is that the supply is very tightly controlled by the specialty boards (essentially cartels) to ensure low supply and consistently high pay [for themselves] and higher bills for the rest of the population.

I would take exception to a lot of this, but you're right about needing a car. Columbus is extremely lacking in public transportation. Traffic is not too bad overall, but if growth continues eventually the increasing number of cars will create even more problems.

Do you want AIs exterminating humans? Because that's how you get AIs exterminating humans.
I help out teaching kids programming at a code club in my local library. I don't do it because I want ever larger numbers of kids to code, but because I believe in equality of opportunity (the library is free to all), and it's fun and enlivening to engage with children.

Some of the kids are focused and enjoy learning, others really want to play games. Some are just bored (stashed there by parents grateful to be able to browse books in peace), or are just accompanying more engaged siblings).

It's perfectly obvious that, like every other activity, engagement in programming comes from a kernel of indigenous interest (wherever this originates).

What's even more obvious is the cruelty and blind unreality of trying to mash people into a mould dictated by a so-called 'economy'.
Nor in K&R C. Or even early ANSI-C. This whole "we can use undefined behavior to "optimize" away half your program" idea is fairly new.
high risk, high return!!
LoL!!
I would rather never be a parent rather than be a parent without a partner. The logistics of infant care alone would wreak havoc on my physical and mental health. Working full time to support said infant and time commitments such as doctors appointments and enrichment activities associated with a growing child sounds like a complete nightmare. If one has extended family to help out, that’s a different story, but ageing parents or others with their own lives can’t be excessively burdened for my choices.
I think it used to be like this in America too. The milkman would walk into your kitchen (via the back door, which was unlocked) and leave the milk in your fridge.
Sounds like you've been bubbled by search engines and social media. I'm in Denver but my wife is from Nashville. Nashville has bulgogi[0], has 3 different companies competing on the health care exchange this year[1] and Vanderbilt is an amazing medical college, and the city has 3 different ISP's offering gigabit internet[2]. There is a ton of greenspace with bike trails through the city. The sports teams have been doing pretty well the past few years. There are tons of "lakes" nearby for enjoying during the summer, there is some amazing hiking nearby, especially near Knoxville (including the Appalachian trail). Homes definitely aren't as cheap as they used to be there but still doesn't even compete with Denver, which doesn't compete with Seattle, which doesn't compete with SF. And that is all before I even got to the music scene which is by far the best in the country for more than just country music. Pop, country, jazz, rock, all have a home in Nashville. Karaoke in Nashville is an incredibly fun and incredibly intimidating proposition.

I've heard the Thursday evening flights into Nashville called Bachelorette Flights because so many bachelorette parties go to Nashville because it is a really fun city to go out on the town at night.

All of that and they still have no income tax.

Oh no, it really is that bad.

You haven't lived until you've root-caused a ref cycle 3 libraries deep in a 200kloc+ codebase.

This problem also isn't exclusive to C++, I've had nasty libraries in Java add things to the root set silently to the same effect.
Because surely all of those farm hands will be able to prove that it was their outdoors work that caused the cancer 30 years later! And surely the insurance will pay to right those wrongs!
The only reason this is news in 2017 is because the food and pharma industries have been so successful at suppressing this fact. smh
Yep. Cincinnati is just a smaller version of most every other major metropolitan area I've ever visited, and the small visits I've made to surrounding big cities (Louisville, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Des Moines, Nashville, etc) has proven the same.

Sprawl is awful in Austin because of our lake and highway system. "South Austin" (South of Town Lake/1st st) is 12 miles from my house but going there is basically like driving to another city. 30-45 minutes. What happens is people will live in Central/North Austin and will only take jobs in Central/North. Vice versa if you live South.
I'd love to know Sam's views on his particular responsibility in addressing this as a member of Reddit's board.

If the "attention epidemic" and risk of hacking people's attention is high, Reddit is likely to be just as culpable in that as Facebook. Further, Reddit has shown to be ripe for weaponizing by hostile foreign nations given the Russian meddling. This has not gotten nearly the attention it warrants, and many feel Reddit has done nothing particularly worthwhile to address the matter.

So in an age where algorithms optimize to capture attention for the benefit of platform owners, and platform owners are incentivized by ad revenue where the advertisers may have malicious social engineering motives, or where the platform is seen as an attack vector outside of ads, what is the responsibility (legally and morally) or platform owners and investors in doing something about this?
Any money/btc you have in coinbase should be money you are happy to lose. It is an IOU note from coinbase to you, but without the strong guarantees you'd get with a bank. With bitcoin especially it is possiblef or someone (State, Criminal, Software Bug) to run off with all their money and leave them bankrupt in a matter of seconds. It could happen in the next 10 seconds. This is unlike conventional business!

So I'd think of it like this. Say you want to buy $10000 of BTC. You are only 'happy' to lose $1000.

Transfer $1000 in to Coinbase. Get BTC. Transfer that to your own offline wallet. Once confirmed, transfer the next $1000 in to Coinbase.

I say this as someone who has lost some Etherium in BTC-e, which I transferred 6 hours before they were seized. Luckily I got the lions share of it back (about 80%) from Wex but that was just lucky. If it is in an exchange it can be lost.

Finally only keep in Bitcoin money you are happy to lose. I won't go into why but it should be obvious you cannot guarantee 100% you will remain in "control" of your address (due to hackers, amnesia, tech failure and untrustworthy friends/family), although you could get to 99.999% by taking precautions.
Not sure what type of info you're interested in, but I think some keys to my success are as follows:

1. Partnership with a domain expert in a then under-served niche market (he was a contract work client turned business partner). The relationship has been difficult, and for the last many years I have been the defacto sole participant. Having a pipeline to the market was invaluable in the beginning, though, and I was able to extract enough pain points from his experiences to put together an MVP.

2. In the beginning, we were crazy responsive to support requests and feature requests. I made the early customers ("visionaries") feel extremely supported and part of the process, and many of them are still with us to this day. Incredible support makes up for a lackluster UX, feature set, etc., especially in non-tech-savvy markets.

3. Despite #2, I said "no" a LOT. It's especially difficult to say no to domain experts who feel like they are the customer, and even harder to say no to actual customers. I prioritized maintaining simplicity of the app over all else; the competitors in the space had all overdeveloped, and especially for our non-tech-savvy market their apps became overwhelming. To this day, we still get customers from a company that hired Indian developers to clone our app. Every one of them says "it was just too complicated." http://www.programmerfu.com/2017/03/16/saying-no-for-fun-and...

4. Slow and steady. Bootstrapping affords the ability to take your time, and you're not hiring a bunch of people who know they'll get fired as soon as your funding runs out. Worst case scenario, you go into "cockroach mode" until you can ramp things back up. We have never hit the hockey-stick curve but we have very low cancellations and constant slow growth. Growing slowly also means the app and company get to grow with the customers rather than uncontrolled bursts of user growth followed by "oh shit, oh shit" and letting those new users down with scaling problems (both technical and human). Slow growth also risks a new, funded competitor will come in and blow you out of the water. Luckily, we didn't experience that while we were young and vulnerable.

This is a bit rambly, and I've got to run to lunch but I hope it's in the ballpark of what you're looking for. I'm open to answer questions as well :)
You can hide the annoying/superfluous parts of the GUI pretty well with userchrome.css settings.

"Silicon Valley is" is real lazy and dumb reporting.
A DNR doesn't sign away your right to life, it just asks others not to take positive action to save you. A more analogous situation would be assisted suicide, which is pretty controversial. Even then, assisted suicide is seen as a benefit to the person who's going to die, and the person who assists gets paid for it. I believe a contract which says you get to kill me in exchange for paying me (either in advance or to my heirs, presumably) would be uncontroversially invalid.

I'm not sure I see the relation to powers of attorney. Are you saying that granting PoA to another person is similar to granting enforcement rights to an arbitrator?
I think the difference is that the QPX was the byproduct of an acquisition (ITA Software) while Firebase and Fabric.io were the desired targets in those respective acquisitions.

It was a Pyrrhic victory. At the end of battle, the Russian army retreated from the field and the French remained - so it was a victory by definition. But the French army could not replace its casualties or secure its supply lines, so the victory in battle resulted in defeat in the overall war.
This 'article' is an advert. The story about the origin of the seeds is most likely a fabrication invented to sell melons (and now seeds). The watermelon is native to Africa. It is possible that the seeds were in fact old, but not that they predate the arrival of Europeans and Africans in the New World. If anyone is seriously interested, a genetic analysis of the plant would clear things up.

You can even get a version that works with multiple delivery services, including DPD, UPS, and Hermes.

Buuuut Amazon doesn’t care about that, they just want to gain more control.
First you'd need that the integers are an integral domain and then build up to the fact that the reals are a field. At least that's how I'd go about it. Maybe one can start with the reals themselves. Here's the proof that the integers have no zero divisors:

I know I was living in a bit of a special enclave of Columbus (Clintonville), but I I'm finding a car to be much more mandatory in the South Bay. In Columbus I would only drive about once a week when I needed to go out to the suburbs.

I'm wondering how exactly you GET a photo ID in the first place. You need to identify yourself to whoever is taking that photo.

I lived in Norway for a couple of years. There I just opened a bank account online, giving them my person number - and they posted something to my address as registered with the government. But in Australia our privacy advocates killed the "Australia Card" idea, so instead we have a tax file number with all the disadvantages of a national ID number and none of the advantages...

Anyway, back the main point. To be totally frank with you I think photo IDs are largely bullshit security theatre. You're asking a human factor[tm] to look at a fuzzy photo taken 10 years ago and confirm that it looks similar enough to the person in front of them.
My previous employer had the best Christmas parties I have ever seen. We rented out a restaurant, open bar, and it was fun as hell. We worked our asses off, generally 50+ hours a week, and everyone got a chance to blow off steam together. I got a chance to really know executive management I would have been way too intimidated to ever approach.

Today I work for a different company, and we had one of these events you are talking about. I actually had just as much fun, if not more fun, than the previous lavish parties I was used to. I feel like I have a much more personable relationship to at least a half-hour other people I normally don't interact with on a day-to-day basis.

It's what you make of it. If not showing up for you is working, rock on man. If enjoy an opportunity to get to know everyone I work with and find out what we have in common.
Mozilla basically titled the security vs. versatility balance massively in the direction of security with no sudo-equivalent for AMO-distributed addons.
I dunno, I struggle with the area of what constitutes objectification here. On the one hand, yes they're hired first because they're pretty, but assuming that's the only quality they bring, or that it's somehow baser or less valuable than technical skills seems to me still degrading to an entire group of people who do put a lot of work into both their presentation and ability to navigate socially.

The other part is that I don't think it's wrong to allow the GUI of a person to be the initial draw towards someone else.
If that's all someone wants, then they're shallow and objectifying someone.

But for as many guys in SV who are pervs only out for one thing, I'm willing to wager that there are just as many, if not more, introverted SE's who actually don't mind a more personal connection, however momentary, than to just get their rocks off.
Sometimes it's nice to have a short, if meaningful, or at least interesting conversation with someone so far out of your league in traditional social contexts.

I'm not trying to be an apologist for this practice, I just feel that while it has its own innocent value, it could be implemented in a way that is a bit more transparent and helpful long-term to what is behind some of the motivations for this.

There is also a significant cases of:

1. The false disintermediation; when really they want to put themselves as the intermediary

2. This is so much better than what exists, we just need everyone to adopt it at once, in order to get the network effect that makes adopting it in the first place worthwhile.

3. We just need to solve this one problem to unlock the potential (insert HARD economic problem, that world has been failing to solve for last 30 years).

4. Just being bunch of nonsense, but who cares, with so much blind speculation we might come our rich as long as we scarper before the bubble bursts.

5. We just need these 3 miracles for success

6. Our solution is basically just the same as what exists, however we are really excited because we will implement it with blockchain!
