It seems to me that forks are treated more like RSUs (restricted stock units) than stock options. When a company grants you RSUs, you're immediately responsible for tax on the value of the shares. If you then hold the stock for any period of time, and later sell at a profit, you'll need to pay tax on that profit too. You get taxed twice.

That's my intent as well: use MR to replace monitors, then progressively switch to monitor-less apps.

There may be a limitation, though: resolution. If we are have 9 virtual monitors, each displaying content at 2500x1200 (random pick), performances may not follow.

But then I guess, we only need to focus on one at a time. Maybe those additional monitors could work if we lower resolution of those not directly where our eyes are looking at, and just blur them for good rendering.
I dont overly care what regulatory framework we place Uber into, I care that they dont misclassify their workers as independent contractors. The whole gig "economy" is a scam, people smarter than I have broken down the numbers about the cost of maintaining your vehicle (in uber's sake) and the tax bill due in april exceeding the pay. Not to mention theres little to no job security or benefits.
Pay Your Workers.
And how ridiculous is it that it would take half a decade to state the obvious while this company funded by tech billionaires competed on unfair terms with tens of thousands of tiny taxi companies that followed rules and acquired licenses, expensive mandatory equipment etc.

I would love for the taxi industry to be liberalised but just not for the benefit of a few Silicon Valley billionaires with complete disregard of legislation.

It was the new hipster language and slowly is losing this image. There are new hipster languages now. Most people who learn Ruby/Rails already know it well enough at this point that random google queries and stack overflow questions would be out of place and less new developers are coming to the language.

No. I don't think those things. I think I as a consumer can pick the ride option I want. I also think Uber benefits from providing a safe and reliable service (which they do).

Have you ever taken an Uber? Have you ever taken a cab? Every Uber ride I've ever taken (a lot, in many different cities) has been more or less pleasant and friction free. Most cab rides have been quite the opposite.

I 100% feel safer in an Uber than in a taxi. Try paying a taxi with a credit card some day and let us know how that goes. At best you'll have to argue with the driver to accept it. Most likely the machine will be "broken".
I'm pretty sure GP edited their comment.
Using GDAX requires an ID because you can store USD in it. Same goes for using the USD wallet in Coinbase.

Easy: python 2 works, and python 3 offers me nothing I need to justify any effort to port code. Python 3 is a different language from python 2 (so people keep saying), and there's no business case for changing my stack's language since my stack works fine right now.

I think this is a critical point. I bet that Google has reams of internal research on the use of ad-blockers. I am further willing to bet they have discovered the following:

1) Users say they block ads because they are annoying, rather than any deeper philosophical arguments about the nature of advertising

2) Users tend not to bother with white-listing and just use the defaults - i.e. block all ads, even Google!

3) Once they have used an ad-blocker, users are very resistant to browsing the web without one

4) Users who ad-block are among the most educated and tech-savvy, and as such are a valuable demographic to miss out on

5) Ad-block use is growing steadily with no signs of slowing

So, Google's provocative and somewhat desperate move is an attempt to gain control of ad-blocking before it becomes a serious threat to their business, even in the face of serious backlash. I hope they fail.
I have a deep moral opposition to this kind of spying, and making it more difficult is an end in and of itself. I also don't consider them terribly uncomfortable, but that is my opinion and no one else's.

I also personally would prefer not to be spied on. I do not want my day-to-day activities monitored by anyone but myself. In the event that the government starts curtailing freedoms or particular kinds of behavior and thought, I do not want to be left susceptible. So I guess my threat model is "generalized spying". I assume I would be powerless to stop anything specifically targeted at me, so I would like to avoid becoming a target in the first place.

If and when I start buying oxidizing chemicals, drug precursors, or ammunition, then you are more than welcome to start tracking my purchases and usage of those products.
With their revealed preferences, people have signaled that they want convenience more than privacy.

Really, surveillance barely even seems necessary any more. People already voluntarily tell Facebook, Uber, Instagram, Amazon and their credit cards companies every detail of their lives. I'm not even sure we can reasonably stop that.

The issue to me isn't so much people gathering data, because it's obvious that will happen. Rather we need restrictions on how that data can be stored, shared, integrated across datasets, and mined.

The GOP most certainly depends on floating voters. There are many independent/non-affiliated voters in the US, more than either the registered Republican or Democrat voter base.

And there were plenty of people who voted for President Obama but voted for Trump. 13% of 2012 Obama voters voted for Trump in 2016.

Let's take TV as a comparison. On TV the ads have guidelines on what they can do and show, set by the tv channel and the broader regulation.

This isn't the party of small businesses and tax cuts any more. This bill is a handout to large ISPs at the expense of the economy, and the tax bill last night raises my taxes so people making 100k+ more than me can see a tax cut. I'm done with them.
> Re-using boosters for your early development is pretty nice and efficient too I imagine.

It sounds good on paper but it's not easy in practice, see: the Russian N-1 moon rocket, which basically just took the R7 rocket and scaled it up with more engines. Turns out too many engines means too many points of failure, and the rocket never worked.

> Once the monopoly is out, Uber will just be like every other taxi company. And better still, all the taxi companies will be like Uber.

That is pretty much how things are here in Lithuania. The system works well, you don't really come across drivers or cars with issues, and there isn't really any kind of monopoly. There aren't many true taxis, because being a 'taxi' vs a 'private driver' means you pay more effectively just to be able to drive in bus lanes.

Historically people would phone up to book (and a car would turn up in under 10 minutes), but now you can use a single app to book and pay by card with all the different taxi companies (and get whatever car is quickest or cheapest). Uber were late to the game when they entered the market in 2015, and their launch has gone pretty much unnoticed.
I agree, but this experience can be delivered without the dodgy business model.

Hailo did this, all within the bounds of the standard regulatory framework by joining independent drivers to customers with all of the advantages that you provide.

They never annoyed anybody.

Sadly it seems they tried and failed to take on the less regulated markets and this was their undoing.

I miss Hailo and I hope somebody comes along with a credible replacement soon. MyTaxi is just plain awful and is probably the best marketing for Uber round these parts there has ever been!

There really isn't any critical intellectual property or secret sauce that should stand in the way ... just pure graft required.

Hopefully this will do the trick http://www.whistletaxiapp.com/
This is actually really exciting. Still not a lot of details on specs or pricing (which is what will ultimately determine whether this succeeds or not), but from what we've seen so far I think this is the first consumer-focused AR product which has the potential to gain a real substantial level of adoption. The Oculus Rift DK1 of AR, as it were.

Though with recent advances in AR and VR tech, the Magic Leap doesn't seem as magical as it did when they first started teasing it several years back. Looking at the trends over the last year or so, I think it was only a matter of time before _someone_ came out with a product like this. (In fact, what they announced here today almost seems like a cross between a Microsoft Hololens and an Oculus Santa Cruz headset.) The real innovation Magic Leap seems to be bringing to the table is their "lightfield" display; though it's hard for me to judge how big of a deal that will be without trying it for myself.
I've downloaded the beta and played for 5 minutes. First remarks and thoughts:

- When the realtime typesetting works it is impressive. For example, changing the coordinates in a tikz picture results in almost immediate change of the PDF. And command / environment auto-completion is very smooth, very well done.

- However, the typesetter can get stuck and this happened for me in the first try. I am aware it is only the first public beta so I guess things will improve.

- Please, oh please, can any specialized TeX editor reproduce the following feature I have setup in Emacs? In the editor (not live preview) display standard mathematical symbols as symbols and not as commands. For example, make \alpha appear as α or \int appear as ∫. This is so nice that I hesitate moving to other tex editors because I know I will miss it.
Agreed. It's similar to the initial versions of Oculus Rift that were sent to developers before the general release.
IE 11. :)

My job involves lots of windows-only proprietary junk so my work machine is very windows-y. I wouldn't normally do this to myself.

>> His belief is that a launch of the BFR will actually be cheaper than a launch of a Falcon Heavy, or even a Falcon 9.

I didn't think he actually said it'd be cheaper. If it's not, there will be room for a competitor.

>> There's also the business case for reducing the number of products they are supporting.

That was my take on what he said, and if there's a case for BFR then perhaps it makes sense.

>> Right now, there are not enough customers in the world to justify an investment to replace all Falcons with BFRs. They have an answer to that (however flawed), and that answer is simply "Mars".

Nice thing about a private company. Elon doesn't really have to answer to anyone. Well, actually he's got enough investors that maybe he does, but they all understand his goals are bigger than just making money. BFR will be the ferry to mars and that opens a door. Nobody know what lies behind that door and I think his investors want to know as much as anyone.
>> have been having a lot of "wtf, why now" moments

Because the market is dominated by irrational actors. Other markets are dominated by large corporate entities who, as a rule, move according to established principals backed by a body of government regulations. The BC market is dominated by naive small investors and shady large players. The small players are dumping money in on the expectation of getting rich. The big players are leveraging the lack of regulation to pull tricks that they could not in other markets, tricks that look strange and irrational to anyone who doesn't know the game. So prices move wildly based on a combination of fashion and intrigue.
I'm pretty optimistic about Magic Leap, and lightfield technology in general.

Where I see it really shining is as a successor to staged plays, and cinema.

The thought of allowing viewers to really deeply immerse, comfortably for long periods of time, to control the point of focus, to move around.

Kurosawa would shoot movies by building whole sets with all walls intact that worked from every angle, and having the actors perform the scene over and over like a contiguous play, and then this would eventually be shot from 3 fixed points in a single take, offering a consistent and seamless edited final version with perfect continuity... imagine this with an array of lightfield cameras capturing the set and actors, and using CGI to gap fill angles where necessary... and then allowing people to experience cinema from within the set.

Or, imagine animated cinema where the animations are real-time inserted into a set that you move around and interact with. The magical real being tangibly real.

Beyond games, beyond the AR/VR as we've experienced, I think that there's a really rich content vein that could be tapped within pure entertainment consumption, and that of the technologies lightfield tech may give the best control and experience to consumers.
I pay $1.20 a day for 20MB LTE and "unlimited" slow connection. 20MB is not even a writing error, usually the first thing that happens when i read news in the morning is a SMS that i went over my high speed limit.

My point is, while most countries figured this out meanwhile. Some "wealthy" ones didnt.

Of course I would opt for Sqlite, however if I really need NoSQL type of data I always would recommend LiteDB.

The API is similar to MongoDB which is great because I consider MongoDB drivers the best DB drivers for C# except for maybe EF.
I live here too. We unfortunately have built a reputation of our value only being skin deep and superficial – from our real estate to our transit to our restaurants and nightlife to our startup community. This reputation is not entirely without merit; we need to do better.

Knowing all that – I want this to be amazing, but I am keeping my expectations in check. To me, this all seems too familiar. Lots of flash and shine, but I don't see anything concrete.
All F9 engines are gimballed. The center engines can gimbal further though, for extra control authority when landing.

The many smaller engines approach is useful for re-using boosters. When coming back in to land, the stage is almost empty, so very light compared to when it launched. The problem then is reducing thrust far enough to be able to do a propulsive landing. Even with one F9 engine lit, and it throttled down, there's still too much thrust to hover, so the timing has to be really good to reach zero velocity at zero altitude.
They screwed it up badly. If you checked BTC/BCH, there were open orders buying 1 BCH for 3 BTC, which is totally ridiculous. Obviously there was some effort on pumping it a lot.

Coinbase basically did one of the most basic mistakes for new markets (or any newly-online market), to not allow orderbooks to be filled before trades can take place. And so people took advantage of it. I just hope inexperienced people didn't get caught in the middle of it.
I still wonder, how responsive mixed reality UIs and/or content presentation may be implemented in a general way.

E.g., your app requires a user selection of one out of 5 tools, which are to be displayed, ready to pick, in a line-up on a flat surface at approximately table height. But there is no such surface, or the surface is already cluttered with other (voluminous) objects. – How do you proceed? Maybe, you're going for a fallback solution hovering in plain air. But then, there's the same issue with the "play field" or free of obstacles floor space or table real estate, obscure floor plans, etc.

I'm finding this problem with nearly all of the content advertised, in demo videos, etc. How is this to be solved in real life?
And yet, we (EU) have lost Net Neutrality before the US. It was shoehorned into the bill that ends roaming charges[1].

I’d be remiss not to mention it saddens me that every time the US has faced internet-related difficulties (SOPA, PIPA, this latest FCC decision), I’ve seen multiple Europeans making noise in support, yet I haven’t observed the reverse to be true at all. In our own fight for Net Neutrality or against the VAT reform that hurts mostly small business, what I saw from the US was crickets.

I agree with you that the EU is better than the US on these types of issues, but with every threat it faces, I see less results.

[1]: Which I appreciate and have taken good advantage of already, but would gladly give up for Net Neutrality.
Yes, we are all fatigued, and that is how they win. Can't get your Bill through? Rename it and submit again. Still won't work? Tack it onto a Medicaid / NASA funding bill. Still won't get through? Change the wording so that it becomes more vague and open to interpretation in your favour and start again.

Bonus points if you give it a name involving patriotism, freedom, economic or personal health, or a backromym that spells out the same.
Acknowledged, that it really depends on how many people are willing to pay for verification services. Product developers may be encouraged economically or legally though. For example cryptocurrency exchanges may decide to list only Quantstamp-verified tokens. Quantstamp's CEO Richard Ma likes to compare his project to Verisign - being kind of a certificate authority for the blockchain.
The attractiveness of their model does nothing to hide the dorkiness of those glasses.
They also have the benefit of walled-garden appstores: Users don't have to care about all of the things you mentioned. If I want to use Thunderbird I just apt-get install it. Normal users almost never want two versions of the same program, and they don't make install either.

I've never seen a corrupted package database. I have seen lots of software on Windows that couldn't be properly deinstalled for some reason or other though.
I would treat it as a dividend. If you roll it back in then don't pay taxes. If you sell it and take the cash then I assume it would be taxed based on when you bought the bitcoin. There is precedent here with trading stocks. (disclaimer: I am not an accountant)
adblock plus is commercial operated and is paid by advertisers to get whitelisted, akin to an extorsion mafia business. It's an ad blocker coming with tainted default settings. It used to significantly impact performances (not sure if this is still the case).

ublock origin is a one man personal project to improve his online browsing experience that he shared with the public and has become the goto reference. It has no whitelist or acceptable ads policy, is a general purpose blocker (blocks trackers, remote fonts, etc.) coming with sane default settings. It does not have the same performance issues adblock plus has.

In short: ditch adblock plus and switch to ublock origins.

You'll find more details here: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
You've missed the point. The very existence of fast lanes means that whatever's left is a degradation. This has been the point NN proponents have been making all along. Proposing to ban slow lanes but allow fast lanes effectively does nothing for NN proponents.

It doesn't have to be "actively" slowing down traffic to be degraded. If ISPs can go faster, and they choose not to unless you pay more, that is a form of degradation. One of many forms the degradation could come in is ISPs failing to build out faster networks until people are paying higher prices. Service can be allowed to degrade over time by simply not doing anything unless you pay more money.
I hope you aren't implying equivalence.
I'm still unsure if this a spoof. I wonder how long someone could endure that before experiencing apoplexy.
