Mine is already taken care of, but I still work my day job, because I love my team and don't want to leave them yet... Every year is my last year (and I am buying a boat to ravel the world), and here I am still leading the team... So be careful what you wish for, sometime it is not that easy and obvious...
Sorry, that's incorrect information. I've been to several countries that have pegged their currency to USD or to (long time ago) Deutsche Marks, without every claiming to the same currency in reserve. It leads to currency black markets, but it's possible to do and many countries have done it in the past.

I mean, even China had a currency peg not too long ago. It was an enforced exchange rate, nothing more. No explicit reserve backing it up.

I thought most keyboards at least ask for Full Access, though may not necessarily mandate it:

I was never sure what "Full Access" meant, other than keyboard data (including keystroke recording if the dev wanted it) going forward. But surely it doesn't mean everything, as in access to keyboard-non-related data (user photos, etc).?

The phrase "good faith" implies you can see into the mind of someone else. Whenever it appears, someone is trying to bias the jury.

The Gates Foundation is dedicated to "tactical philanthropy" which maximizes investment "leverage" by allying with existing commercial/political interests whenever possible, often with strings attached. Gates has stated clearly that he prioritizes programs that are revenue neutral -- that generate enough income to sustain themselves. While that's better than a stick in the eye, that's not exactly "giving your money away".

And in terms of atonement, exactly what remedial actions are sufficient to turn a gangster into a saint? Martin Shkreli and Al Capone would like to know.
Let's be clear about something here. These are most likely not organic Trump picks. This is about the biggest donors getting their quid pro quo in the form of cabinet picks due to regulatory capture... and leaks of the Obama admin indicate the same thing happened with him, the same with Bush before him, and likely with presidents for a long time. With Obama it was citigroup who got most of the picks if I remember correctly, but with Trump it seems to be a bit more varied. (Eg Eric Princes sister for Education Secretary, etc)

Edit: I'd appreciate dialogue instead of just down votes. To clarify, by saying Trumps picks were a bit more varied I wasn't saying it was any better than bankers picking almost all of them.

The realpolitik response I usually hear is how only industry experts at a high level can fill these positions, but I simply no longer buy this argument.
Its now December 2017. Everybody knew about his plan the day he was sworn in as chairman.

Between the resources at Google/ Yahoo/ FB/ Ycombinator alone they have the money, lawyers, know how, and have had since November of last year to do something about this, anything. anything at all. Actually, any fortune 500 company. Not a single whisper from wall street. not a single whisper from the private sector. Obviously insane levels of fraud happening with the comments being written by russian bots, fake names, and missing real comments with all investigations going nowhere thanks to shit pai.

We will probably loose it for good. it will most likely be a very slow process to make sure nobody is riled up enough to actually do anything about it.

I can almost guarantee instead of fixing or trying to solve any issues. Verizon, comcast, At&T, Tmobile and sprint all have new plans ready to roll out will full marketing behind them.

It is up to us state by state to dismantle the communication cartels once and for all.

But naw, some bot will flag this post just like the other 500+ threads that have popped up since November of last year critical of the government in any way shape or form. Seriously HN get your shit together, absolutely pathetic that it has even come to this point.

Ycombinator is who they are directly attacking, 12 gauge to the head, yet nobody around here seems to actually think they are worthy enough to live. Let alone get a fast, dependable, and cheap/ fair price on our own internet that the tax payers have paid for over and over again.

If that is the case then maybe we all deserve to loose it. I kind of am hoping we do. I want a new internet with blackjack and hookers. only way possible to make it happen is if the entire country were to be pushed at once to move on beyond ISPs grasp and make our own mesh networks. This is that opportunity to build something new and fresh and in our own control, something that will most likely take years and years to accomplish but once its done and stable enough to handle the countries users there will literally be zero use for an ISP beyond a public utility.

THEY ARE LITERALLY GIVING US THE KEYS TO THE FUTURE AND EVERYONE IS FUCKING MOPING AROUND LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THIS COMING.

I hear what you're saying, but the fact is the roles of poor being helped by these systems are ever growing, therefore them constantly needing more money makes perfect sense. Especially after the housing crash in '08, from which many many households never recovered.

The fact is though we spent something on the order of 13 trillion dollars on a plane for the USAF that's not yet flown a single mission since it was purchased in what, 2008? Until that type of stuff starts getting cut, I refuse to buy the argument that "we can't afford it." BS we can't. Right now we won't afford it but that's not the same thing.

This is why I'm a believer in this type of regulation - you have two options:

1) Collect only the data strictly necessary for the functioning of the service. If you suffer a data breach, you used security best practices, and notified the corresponding authorities and your users in due time, then you shouldn't be punished at all, with very few exceptions. If you didn't use best security practices, you may see some small to moderate fines, depending on each case.

2) Collect whatever you want (while still mentioning it in your Privacy Policy, and the whole thing). But if you suffer a data breach, and that data is exposed, you should need a big fat banking account to survive the fine that will be imposed on you. The fines should be big enough that they should deter even the big players from collecting too much of the data they don't need.

We went for a vendor to replace one of our internal tools. It looked too costly to pay team of 4 engineers a year to support it.

Unfortunately, the part "implement a vendor and see how you like it" went only with the first half. Complaints of developers supposed to be using the tool were brushed aside as a simple resistance of change. In the end it was implemented by decree from higher management.

Only after all the paperwork was signed, we started to see that the vendor doesnt support our usecases, that their hardware is underpowered for the load we were expecting, e.t.c ...

In the end, I have heard at least 20 various senior and beyond senior engineers from various teams complaining that they spend 20 to 50 % of time working around the vendors bugs, around once a month bringing down vendors infrastructure, because our use-case mandated uploading more data than the infra could handle.

I definitely agree that clear requirement list and clearly scoped project and implementing a vendor to see how you like it is usually better than in-house

On the other hand in-house is usually better than implementing a random vendor because management feels like it ;)
Just a pedantic procedural point: The FCC is not an "agency", but a commission with 5 members. Once a commissioner is named, they cannot be removed by the President for any reason besides misconduct. The two of them besides Mr. Pai who are Republicans have been on for quite a while and their agreement is necessary for this scheme of his to work. He presumably has it, otherwise there would be no vote taking place, so it's not like this is merely a product of Trump’s unique intervention here.
> You will not blow your (and potentially your family's) savings by browsing facebook and seeing being shown ads.

Ads often incite people to buy things. This must work at least some of the time, or ads wouldn't exist. So some people do spend their money on unnecessary junk through browsing facebook.

>Why did you take the box away then?

To be fair his mother eventually had to take him away from the box to keep him on his feeding and nap schedule. He cried all the way up the stairs because he wanted to keep playing with the box. But his dad opened the box when the child couldn't see it and eventually all was well when he discovered the bike inside. It wasn't intentional cruelty as much as the crushing disappointment visited on any child that has to do what his parents want.
I too am saddened as what happens in the US will influence the rest of the world; I expect to see similar things happen closer to home if this goes through.
Insurance providers sometimes have minimum numbers of hours required for an employee to be eligible to participate. I have an arrangement with my employer to work only 4 days a week (32 hours), but I was told that going any lower than that would complicate things with regard to benefits. No, government does not "dictate" necessarily, but the current situation in the US with employer-provided healthcare greatly complicates working part-time, to the point that it's not really worthwhile for a business to spend time figuring it out when there are plenty of people willing to work full time.

Yes. A casino exists only to take advantage of vulnerable individuals and drain them of their money. It is an immoral business. Therefore, working to help a casino is also immoral.
Just so that I'm clear:

- Skepticism about the tether reserves is FUD,

- meaning that we should believe it is there.

- But we cannot ask for proof of an easily verifiable claim that the money exists, because certainty that it exists is a trade secret.

Is this an accurate reflection of your position?
This is the same topic of Eliezer Yudkowsky's recent book "Inadequate Equilibria" [0], reviewed by Scott Aaronson here [1]. That book does a good job explaining why not every inefficiency can be eliminated - because getting out of a bad nash equilibrium requires coordinated changes, and for large enough groups you can't convince enough people to make a change at the same time.

BTC fees are crazy high because the coins value is crazy high if I go back and look at some of my transactions when BTC was around $200. today, the low transactions fees of yesteryear are now $15-$20. I think that's the flaw in bitcoin, greed took over and it became something it shouldn't have. miners kept buying more expensive asics to edge out the next guy because of greed and it became an arms race. my asic mining career lasted a whole of several months before I stopped cause I saw the people making money at the time were hardware sellers, pool operators, etc. miners still made money but in small margins. that is until BTC exploded now the coins I mined are worth over $50,000 on an investment of $3,000 of miners ($30,000 of which is still retained). Now I undderstand that miners aren't the entire reason for BTC price increase but I believe they have their share in it.

I think cryptocurrencies like IOTA (I do not currently own a position in IOTA but will be in the near future, hopefully.) have a place with no network fees and primarily no miners. but I still see the greed in messageboards "Buy more!, Eat away at sell walls" yada yada. very sad.

I think it'd be cool if there was a coin that had a fixedish price like tether although I won't touch tether since I don't know a lot about it other than some kind of theft, and the fact that bitfinex doesn't accept U.S customers which doesn't really affect my purchasing of tether but all the same I'd rather distance myself from them. I have been looking at BNB since I do use binance exchange but it's a volatile currency as well from looks of it. and the fact they are destroying them each quarter from what I understand based on their profits or something will lead to shorter supply and more demand since it can be used to lessen exchange fees
