Yes, people may be able to live their life without going back to USD currency, so their will be no devaluation of a crypo X as long as people trust it (as gold). When a cryto X is not trusted anymore people are going to stop using it to go back to USD or another crypto thus devaluating the cryto X in respect to the USD.

A big advantage of cryptocurrencies (I think) is that there is no regulation (no central bank injecting billions), but it is also its Achilles's heel because it can't be used ha s a commodity currency because it miss the stability of a currency backed by a central bank.

Seeing as how dreamers are basically the only reason Bitcoin rose to $20k, I see no reason why the trend wouldn't replay itself with Litecoin. Great time to buy IMO.
So true. Premature generality is a big problem.

And the company going belly up (or an acquisition scenario where common shares are worth zip) is a disposition that will make the tax due.

You can however use the Allowable Business Investment Loss deduction to deduct half, and if you hold the CCPC shares for two years, you can deduct the other half. So the danger zone is the two year window after exercising.

Just-In-Time Staffing: Benefits, Definitions, and Best Practices
Not until they’re on their sixth complimentary whiskey sour and someone bumps into them.
Were they that popular in the US in 2000? Evangelion started airing on Adult Swim in 2005, and Lain started in 2002 on TechTV IIRC.
I remember visiting someone in Northern Virginia. The neighborhood had very big houses with very nice cars in front of them. I asked him where these people work. AOL? Verizon? No, the answer was, mostly non-profits. That's when I understood what non-profit really means.
Let me introduce you to a concept called "pencil mileage".

Simply put, for a budget of $x, your crew can draw $y miles of lines. How do you use these to fill out the huge number of images you need to produce?

In the West, the solution has historically been to simplify your drawings as much as humanly possible so that you can have a lot of them; we tend to want to have everything constantly moving and changing. Our characters tend to be the barest collection of broad details to distinguish one from another; we are loathe to drop below shooting "on twos"^1.

In the East, they took a different path: They want complicated drawings. So one drawing will linger on the screen a lot longer, pushing up against the moment where a drawing "goes dead"^2 a lot harder. Often you'll build up to a small handful of lavishly animated scenes, where most of the episode's budget is blown at the climax of the episode.

I was raised in the Western tradition^3, and it took a long time to learn to see the craftsmanship and love in Eastern animation. I'm glad I did; I've seen some really powerful and compelling stories that I wouldn't have seen in Western work.

(There are of course broad generalizations, you can find increasing amounts of Western work that's heavily influenced by Eastern animation, and probably vice-versa as well. You can also find expensive shows and cheap shows all over the world.)

----

1: exposing every drawing twice, for an effective frame rate of 12 (animators still like to think in film's 24fps)
2: If a character is moving, then goes perfectly still, there is this weird moment when your brain stops registering it as "something alive that has stopped moving for a moment" and starts registering it as "a static drawing". It's really creepy to see happen.
3: and even spent most of a decade working in it
I read an interview with the Lain creator where he was disappointed it was so popular in the US, because he was trying to capture (what he thought was) a uniquely Japanese zeitgeist.
I'm not sure that would be feasible; in a case like this, doing a reverse "hollywood accounting" would be easy. The bandwidth is "free", since it runs on their existing network. The content is "free", since it's included in their TV licensing. What can you impute just to the service? A bit of storage and a few hours of software development, divided by all their customers. That's probably about ten cents or so.
I can't really make sense of interference. I made it to level 6, but I didn't understand the solutions for any of the 3 previous levels. I found some of the online help, but I'm not really making any sense of what it's saying.
And that people, is why all good projects do code review.
Is there some obligation for a licensed engineer to disclaim non-engineering commentary?

It's been my experience that most non-lawyers on HN/Slashdot posting these disclaimers do so because someone once told them they'd be risking unauthorized practice of law charges if they didn't. That was the case once...before the first dotcom boom...Since then, NOLO and others have successfully challenged these restrictions on offering generalized legal advice in most states (including the ones that matter). Nowadays, you're only at risk of unauthorized practice of law if you're applying the law to a specific person's set of circumstances in a manner which clearly indicates that you are specifically providing advice (or other legal services) to them based on those circumstances. This is why NOLO and other guidebooks don't run afoul of these laws--they only provide general advice, it's not tailored to any particular person's legal situation. On a similar note, applying the law to a third-party's circumstances as part of a discussion is not the practice of law, it's commentary.

It's different for a lawyer. Lawyers are held to higher standards when it comes to online advice, but the risk there is whether the advisee believes that a client relationship has been created opening the lawyer up to malpractice liability. I could say that "Uber should do [X] to deal with legal problem [Y]" because it's obvious that Uber, as a well-funded company, has its own lawyers and would not treat my commentary as actionable legal advice or as resulting in a lawyer-client relationship. But I couldn't say "somethirdpartyperson should do [X] to deal with legal problem [Y]" because that person could reasonably treat commentary by a lawyer suggesting a specific action to address a legal issue as legal advice they can act on, and this belief is legally treated in most jurisdictions as creating a de facto lawyer-client relationship.

Let's just hope that future innovations (and, more perniciously, "innovations") reinforce the end-to-end principle. A major weakness of the 2017 Internet is its centralization.

I'd be curious to see any sort of proof (or, for lack of direct proof, something pointing the finger in this direction) in this.

It was a tool for putting together decent looking, embeddable lists of social media posts.

But so far I have not found an effect that cannot be calculated with the classical Maxwell equations in matter.
> Assuming your primary source of technical debt is all the little corners that get cut in order to meet a schedule, and assuming that the rewrite is being given far less time to get to a certain level of functionality than the original software took to get there, then one would expect the team to need to cut more corners to finish the rewrite.

That's a good point, but it considers only “internal” technical debt. Legacy platforms often have “external” technical debt that you are carrying, especially when they are unsupported by the original vendor. Rewrites are often motivated by the desire to escape this external technical debt, and end up trading a reduction in external technical debt for an increase in internal technical debt.

Of course I could just alias `add -A . && commit -m` on every machine I ever connect to for developing. There's a great, practical solution.

Maximally practical or not, if you don't already have a repository for configuration files, shell scripts, aliases, and other little quality of life enhancements then create one today. Your git workflow isn't the only thing that will benefit.

Next time you're hassled to do yet another "git config --global user.name" compare it to the hypothetical overhead of typing "git clone foo/homedir.git ~/homedir && ~/homedir/prep" to get both your name and aliases setup.

I never thought I needed a dotfile repo, but once I made it I realized I waited way too long. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just take 10 minutes and lay the groundwork to help yourself develop more quickly.

The Jevons Paradox suggests precisely the opposite, so long as electricity becomes cheaper to consume.

That is: the lower the cost of a thing, the greater the induced demand, and hence, the greater to total use.

William Stanley Jevons, an engineer and economist, first observed this concerning coal, in the 1860s.

You'll find this expressed in Jevons' preface to the 2nd edition of his book:

A further class of opponents feel the growing power of coal, but repose upon the notion that economy in its use will rescue us. If coal become twice as dear as it is, but our engines are made to produce twice as much result with the same coal, the cost of steam-power will remain as before. These opponents, however, overlook two prime points of the subject. They forget that economy of fuel lead to a great increase of consumption, as shown in the chapter on the subject; and, secondly, they forget that other nations can use improved engines as well as ourselves, so that our comparative position will not be much improved.

Because students then value their education and also try to get into majors that bring more value to the society.

I saw your posting for Fullstack Developer and am very interested in the position. My academic background is in linguistics and have recently completed a full stack web development immersive course at Galvanize in Soho. I have experience with javascript, node, postgres/psql, APIs, css/boostrap, and react among other technologies. I would love the opportunity to talk about how I can help you approach and tackle some of the challenges you face. I taught linguistics, writing and rhetoric, and grew up overseas and all three of these have really informed my high level of interest in the cultural narratives out there in the ether, and how and why we believe some over others. I am unable to attach a resume here, but it i available on my linkedin page (please see below). Thank you for your time and consideration!

That's precisely it.

"Social Media", be it facebook empire, twitter, twitch, google empire, amazon empire...

They want mindshare. They want people to keep using it, millions of people. Because the bigger the number, the more they can use various ways to entrap people into those platforms.

People keep saying that a demonetized video costs - the trivial bandwidth and storage of a deindexed video is miniscule. Yet, making people think they're the only game in town is all encompassing. You deal with them and their games and give them content, or you go away.

And not only that, but when people put up videos, they're also giving Google/Alphabet free machine vision content. Which that is actually worth quite a bit because content's hard to just generate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanian_Civil_War

I had a technical phone screen there. The idea was to build some web frontend against a RESTFul service. I finished it in about 15 minutes, out of the 60 minutes that had been set aside. The fact that the entry test was that easy was a turn off, especially considering the interviewer seemed surprised at how fast I finished.

But then my (white male) interviewer wanted to spend the left over 45 minutes talking about how diverse Uber was blah blah blah and that they were just unfairly represented in the press. I decided not to follow up after that.

Hopefully their culture improves, but it's not somewhere I'd consider working currently.

It's not just that - both Patlabor and Evangelion often would take a slow, languid tone to observe the city. Evangelion spends a lot of time on Shinji grappling with his depression - scenes of him just sitting on a train back and forth listening to a mix-tape on an endless loop.

Patlabor The Movie, similarly, is about Hoba taking them on a tour of the city with their investigation. Half the movie is a travelogue of futuristic Tokyo.

I think both in general were representative to of the change from the faster-paced action shows of the '70s and '80s to the languid artsy style we see in 90s anime.

> it actually carries more information

None of that information is too relevant. If you have the commits individually cherry picked in your stream, that's most of the info you ever need about those commits. There is some earlier version of those commits in a different stream, where they look different. Usually, who cares.

The way to track that is some sort of additional meta-data. An example of this is the Gerrit Change-ID.

This is maybe rare, but there's at least 1 late-stage startup that gives RSUs and allows you to do this in practice. Where my friend works, they give you the option to either pay your own taxes when your RSUs vest, or they will purchase an amount of RSUs from you to cover your tax bill. Seems like a really good deal for the employees. I don't know if this can translate to options in any way, I'm only familiar with RSUs.

As Mason said to Dixon, “ya gotta draw the line somewhere”. Percentage of wealth as a measure misses one key aspect: accumulating a million dollars isn’t that hard. You can either work a middle-class job and not piss away every penny as fast it comes in, or you’re so loaded that a million dollars is what you keep in the checking account for emergencies. In the former case, you don’t get $1MM being an idiot at finances. Yeah, that leaves out the gal with $900K, but see first sentence. For the latter, you lose $500K, who cares?
