This is the end of an excellent tweetstorm by Sarah Jeong (so you can feed it into Spooler and read it as a single blog post) https://twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/953713433530089472 but I would like to quote one:

> All of this has gone too far!!!!! It was fine when you paranoid dorks were out there scamming each other, please leave the normies alone!!!!!!!!!!!

I also copied this all into https://pastebin.com/e8vXE5Vi

This is what the SEC is saying too with different words.
18 years since it was announced that language design would start. While development of the Parrot VM (ultimately abandoned) started in 2001, the apocalypses weren't all written until 2004 (never mind the Synopses), and Rakudo arguably was born that year as well, when pmichaud started working on PGE.

That's still 14 years, and it sucks for Perl as a brand, but as far as the quality of the final product is concerned, it's completely immaterial if it took 5 or 15 years to arrive...
Hence the "generosity" of the mining firm:

Feeling excited to see how this venture will go overall. This can bring whole new way to get funded especiallly as a group of companies.
I'd like to research this some more, can you name some of those equations / macroeconomic models?
No. It's not suspicious or dangerous in any way compared to Python.
That’s on the short list of “oh, that makes sense” reasons.
That's how I feel about smart house stuff. I love my stupid thermostat. It just does its job. Others have added house temperature to the growing list of things in their mind on a regular basis because they have an app or emails or notifications. I set it once and haven't thought about it in years.

I'm not saying it's universally bad. Getting a notification that your front door has been open for more than a minute sounds super useful. But I personally find huge value in simplicity.

I guess I'll be onboard when those things are entirely invisible to me.
Unfortunately cash is not as efficient in procuring the sorts of services that are normally provided by benefits, due to the advantages of structured negotiation.

You are unlikely to get as good a deal from health insurance providers as your employer.
Curse of Woz strikes again. First Fusionio fizzles out, now Primary Data goes down
Yes, looks like they are now owned by some other company. Previously, one of many references [1] said this, which really smells fishy to me(Now not sure if the article itself is wrong):

"Ghostery is owned by Evidon, a company that collects and provides data to advertising companies. It has a feature called GhostRank that you can check to "support" them. The problem is, Ghostery blocks sites from gathering personal information on you—but Ghostrank will take note the ads you encounter and which ones you block, and sends that information back to advertisers so they can better formulate their ads to avoid being blocked. The data is anonymous, and Ghostery still does everything it promises to do to protect your privacy."

> perhaps the consumer shouldn’t be meddling in a space that is still being developed

And perhaps companies shouldn't look like they are defrauding investors when there are big risk factors involved.
So is this the solution? The probability that all numbers are less than x is equal to x^n. So then you take the derivative of that to get the probability that the maximum us is exactly x. n x^n-1. Then calculate the expected value as integral from 0 to 1 of x n x^n-1 = n/n+1.
> Because the content blocking mechanism doesn't offer fine-grained controls, we couldn't make it seamless and still block the things we think should be blocked -- like Google Analytics.

Just curious, what about the Content Blocking API makes this impossible? I was under the impression that you could block JavaScript from the rule list.
No, the american approach is beyond absurd. Of course my employer should pay into(government ran) healthcare on my behalf. Of course they should pay into a pension plan. And yes, currently, if I stay beyond my mandated 7.5 hours, my employer has to provide food during that time. My employer also has to provide water during working hours. If my employer asks me to go somewhere on company business, they have to provide housing.
Especially funny because so many consultants want to move us from Hetzner to AWS.

No. Even better. Exports of America's best product, which is our information economy.

We give the world informational products and they send us physical goods. Seems like a good deal to me.

OK, so when the Extension is installed in Chrome it takes over the omnibox search, directs it to DDG, and does not allow it to be changed.

Put differently, to get the features like tracker blocking, privacy policy scoring, etc. you must also be using DDG for search. I'd call that something that probably should be changed, or at least changeable in the options.

Employers can provide benefits for cheaper due to economies of scale buying a lot of them from big insurance orgs. Individual contractors, even if they weren’t already being pushed into possibly-exploitative relationships with companies like Uber et al., don’t get those discounts. Life on the other side of the API layer ain’t so rosy.
Actually, I feel we could use much more long-term focus. Because right now, pretty much every single company is solely focused on "the short term and the small things", and the result isn't delivering good products and making consumers happy - the result is optimizing products and services to minimum possible quality, while gaming consumer reactions, in order to extract as much profit as soon as possible.
I hope Bitcoin perseveres. I missed the boat on buying it when it was valued at ~$200 USD. I am more into the decentralization of currency. I don't buy the fear-mongering.

And today, I am even more resolved. Bank of America rejected my father trying to deposit $250 USD cash into my account at a local branch while I was out of town. They made him go home to get his checkbook to write a check (money order was an option). They no longer take cash deposits since December 2017 from non-account holders. Any talk of preventing money laundering and the customer's best interest is just a lame excuse to rid staff at branches.

The banks know it too, since they are rushing to develop cryptocurrency instruments to ensure they insert themselves into the payment chain to collect percentages.

I remember being at the first HOPE NYC in August 1994 [1], and listening to a talk about crypto and currencies. I can't remmber the guys name, but he had a cowboy hat on, long hair and beard. Jeez, I wish I were more visionary then. It woke a spark of potential, and then I went on with other things.

I recommend giving it a try.

Few quick reasons off the top of my head.
- HMR works well
- Theming, variables with things like ternary
- Code reuse is better (Especially with theming)
- Component can contain everything in one file
- Extend other components easily
- Better developer work flow
- Contained class names
Anything created with free work should be free in return. Anything created by the public should be available for the public.

You can already AirPlay to multiple devices (including homebrew kodi boxes) from iTunes in MacOS. AirPlay 2 just brings this to iOS.
National debt is a looming crisis, but the largest impact on the general public has been irrationally cutting government spending in the wrong areas (cutting $M from social programs to spend $B/$T on foreign wars).

Of course, the general public is screwed when the crisis hits - we don't have any off-shore bank accounts - and this administration has seriously shortened the timeline to crisis.

> the hardware supports multiple simultaneous wireless interfaces!

This seems to be a somewhat rare feature... I might get one just to try this.

Does anyone know of other cards that support something like this? Is there a difference between being able to associate with multiple APs and being able to host multiple APs (or some combination of both)?
Not this specifically, but with a totally electronic system and no point of sale to anchor there is large opportunity to easily and programatically have dynamic pricing at the known individual level. Supply, time of day, whatever can be instantly baked into a pricing system.

And why not? No humans needed to change pricing. Plus i would think you could scan to get "your" price. Prime member $x. Etc..

I hope i did not imply this was happening now..
Is the preceding sentence not useful?

> But its mere existence is an insurance policy that will remind governments that the last object establishment could control, namely, the currency, is no longer their monopoly.
It used to be that putting a + in front of a word made it mandatory, but this was dropped too.
Sadly, NNT gets a key detail wrong: Bitcoin isn't controlled by its users, it's controlled by the miners.
"When you trade gold, you trade “loco” Hong Kong and end up receiving a claim on a stock there, which you might need to move to New Jersey. Banks control the custodian game and governments control banks (or, rather, bankers and government officials are, to be polite, tight together). So Bitcoin has a huge advantage over gold in transactions: clearance does not require a specific custodian. No government can control what code you have in your head."

Regardless of what you think of BTC and its ilk, I think this is a pretty good point about investing in gold.
It was a decision made by Larry Wall alone.Since it’s his language, he’s allowed to do that.
Seems logical - if you're an advertising company or an organized group of advertising companies and you know that people are going to be doing ad-blocking or at least tracker-blocking, if you can provide a tool that's 90% of the way there which also gets you metrics, etc. then at least you get that little bit of data and the existence of a "good enough" option may also delay stronger measures implemented by someone else.
I doubt we’ll see a mass market blockchain phone for two reasons:

1) blockchain adds overhead. Mobile is about efficiency

2) blockchains are only necessary for adversarial collaboration. Your phone is wholly owned and controlled by you, so there’s no need to host adversarial realities on it.
> i was a bit too young to observe but has anyone here seen something similar when the internet craze came out?

Some, but because the money flowed differently it was more common to take successful business idea and start a new VC backed company with successful business + internet tacked on.

Existing companies were naming products with e/i, but again they got nothing close to the boost we are seeing right now with blockchain.
I can, if said laws cannot be enforced. Thaf’s the whole premise of cryptocurrencies. Not that they don’t need to be regulated, but that they cannot be regulated.
Those home service providers and healthcare providers at home are/will be contractors for an agency. I've had to deal with this with in home help for my 86 year old mother, unless you hire someone directly as a freelancer, the help will be a hourly contractor where the agency takes half of the fee.
> If anything, venting through the press merely let people get steam out and forget more easily....

But we didn't get a repeat of either episode. That raises the possibility that people learned lessons, albeit imperfectly, from those experiences of others, which is something for which humankind (not uniquely among the species) has at least some talent.

That's a benefit of a free press. It can be aggravating to see some of the shadier so-called journalists go shamelessly whoring after eyeballs. Still, journalists' collective, competitive desire for attention helps to bring "training cases" (in NN terms) to a broader societal audience. That seems to influence at least some people's behavior. Over the long term — and not without exceptions, some catastrophic — that influence, on balance, is usually for the good.
> If you are a public company, then you signed up for SEC regulation

If you are under American jurisdiction, you signed up for SEC regulation. Private American companies, offshore companies selling securities to Americans and perhaps even foreign overseas individuals transacting for securities in U.S. dollars are each, to varying degrees, under U.S. jurisdiction.

Hackers are stealing millions in cryptocurrency during ICOs
The "benefit" portion of that statement is that the employers typically take on a portion of that cost so it's reduced for the employee. Have you ever filed taxes as a freelancer? You nearly pay double because you're both the employer AND employee in that situation... The same goes for other benefits as well like healthcare - There are no group discounts when you're the only one getting coverage.

Personally I run gitbucket, which is a small and self-contained java-based "github alternative".

There are a bunch of these small project/git-hosts, and while they're easy to manage they're less featureful than the gitlab offering. Gitlab does have some great features, such as the whole integrated CI system, built upon runners & docker.

The downside is complexity, and resource-usage. I know gitlab is free, and I could install it, but the added resources and potential security issues make it a non-starter.
1) I can directly style multiple components within a file, each having their own style.

2) Since it's in javascript, I can reference JS variables within the file. I can derive CSS values from props passed into the component: styled.div`color: ${props => props.userColor}`

3) I can extend other styled components' styles - i have a small shared library of central components like buttons, inputs. I can extend those: styled(MyThemedButton)`color: ${props => props.specialColor}`

4) I can use awesome micro-libraries like styled-system to add parameterization to the JSX elements: const Foo = styled.div`${space}`. ... <Foo key='1' mx={1} my={2} />... <Foo key='2' mx={2} my={3} />

5) I can change the style of every single styled component with a ThemeProvider. styled.div`color: ${props => props.theme.headerColor}`

6) I can see everything related to the component in one single file.
They're just underwriting the risk so they guarantee "zero fraud" to the merchant. And they just have traditional risk-assessment algorithms applied aggressively.

>There's no reason contractors can't buy health insurance

Likewise, with the individual mandate removed, there's no reason employees can't opt out of health insurance. But in both cases, the pay does not change. If I opt out of health insurance, and save my company hundreds of dollars per paycheck, I do not get a raise in that amount. The incentive then is to accept health insurance as a employee and do without as a contractor.

The problem for everyone is uninsured contractors will also have incentive to avoid treatment as long as possible due to the expense. By the time they seek treatment, the cost of treating the problem has ballooned. They won't be turned away, they won't be able to pay, and hospitals won't go out of business. I'll let you guess who ends up paying for the outsized medical bills they generate.
Nope. The vast majority of benefits are processed without incident or complexity, between the medical provider and the insurer, with no action required by the insured. Rigging some UI for hand-entry of claims in a way that suppresses only some, but not all? That's not going to make an appreciable difference in the bottom line.
That's my most common use of Alexa as well - turn on the lights, turn off the TV. Sometimes I will ask it to set a timer, but really it's a hub for my home automation. I would miss it if it was gone, but my life would go on.

While I agree we should have some taxes, for some of these things, I think the above list could be paid for with far less than what we currently spend. Plenty of waste. Also, for example, we could likely get away with spending a bit less on some of these, like the military for one.

I agree absolutely. Corporations should only pay employees money (including whatever amount it takes to buy reasonable insurance etc) and that should be up to the employee to choose an insurance company and pay them. Insurance companies should compete targeting not corporations but people as their customers.

While you don't get a 401k match as a freelancer or contractor, ideally you can get hourly rates to make up some of the difference. The rest can come from registering as a company, setting up a solo 401(k) - in the U.S. anyway - and then putting up to ~$54,000 of your income into a retirement fund pre-tax. That's a pretty significant potential tax savings.
