> A currency peggged to an underlying doesnt mean you need to hold all the underlying. You just need to intervene in the market when your target price rises or falls to much

Tether claims to avoid the problem by literally holding a dollar in cash for every tether it has minted, so it can't be attacked- no matter how many people try to sell Tether, it can always buy up all the outstanding Tether with dollars and maintain it at parity.

It's hard to tell the difference until the company runs out of money, and then the currency collapses all at once.
I mean, wireless headphone by definition lack a wire which is a huge improvement to many people. Just because the improvement doesn't favor audio fidelity doesn't mean it isn't an improvement.

People have been buying external DAC's for years because they are higher quality than the ones inside phones and computers. Audio professionals don't use the soundcard in their computer - they buy an external one that probably uses USB, firewire, or thunderbolt.

The headphone jack and DAC in a smartphone is convenient and often high enough quality for most people, but it is in no way a perfect solution. People who care a lot about audio quality in particular should not be sad to see it go, because they should be using USB or lightning already anyways.

I would say Ceylon. Ok I never used it, but it looks like it has one of the cleanest type systems ever, and flow-based typing is a really clever idea that isn't really in any other languages.

Sad that it has been abandoned by Red Hat.
Icon was a language I used in my youth. It took me a long time to unlearn some of the very neat features of the language.

Led by Grubhub’s co-founder, this tech startup is a trade school in disguise
I just mean it seems to be the path-more-taken. I'm basing it on my limited experience and my reading about running a business (which a did a bunch of but certainly never did an in depth study). A lot of companies I look at while looking for employment either want to sell or trying to grow to a mammoth size. Don't get me wrong--there is nothing wrong with that! It's just that I personally prefer to take the paycut and work for companies whose owners are slowly building a lifestyle and tightly knit team and wish I would see more of that pop up in job listings.
Or they burn out and find satisfaction in other careers.
This is good feedback. I'll bring it to the Fedora docs team.
It does crash, but it's sane. I have rarely lost work because of it.
You mean the transparency of private individuals and organizations managing their own funds? Ok, let's assume, for the sake of argument, that you are entitled to and able to access that information and that it is somehow more available in _existing_ centralized systems. How are you going to enforce or even verify the degree of a centralized governance system's transparency? You can't. So your comment is somewhat deceptive, imo.

Nope. A/B testing depends on what you choose to mutate. The problem is that we humans intentionally change the things. Nature randomly changes the things.

You’re not going to get to a global optimum driven by human choice of what to test (only local optima at best) unless the human setting up the tests is some sort of sage.

Somewhat, but it's falling now (within the past hour). Seems like it's not as divorced from Bitcoin's moves as optimists would like.
Interesting. I heard the exact same story but it was about 'a wealthy American businessman I know' and an Italian restauranteur. Modern fables.
What are you arguing here? Why do some people always have to use the, "Well, at least we don't do what that other guy is doing!" (non)argument? Why can't we make arguments for or against what a single company has decided to do? Doesn't that make so much more sense?

I've stated on here numerous times that Powershell falls short because pipes aren't text based as in Unix, but are really more like method chaining in .NET. Most of the time I have the output of one command, but can't easily reason about passing it to the next command.
Their comment is based on historical facts, making it apples and oranges. Your speculation has no substance, but is 'absolutely' true? I'm not sure I follow that logic.
I can't see how India is going to afford this. As stated in another comment it could cost up to $800B dollars, which is 30% of India's GDP. If this causes India to have financial issues as a country, it's their own fault for not doing basic accounting and number crunching.
Is your argument that if an ad works I am being manipulated, and if it doesn't work then I am not being manipulated?

I'm telling you right now that I don't mind seeing Ads on Instagram. They're great and I've found out about niche products that I otherwise would not have. If this means that small brands are able to rise up against the mega corps (Dollar Shave Club vs Gillette, as a classic example), then all the better for the market.

The other reason I don't mind is that they're visually appealing and seem to fit the Instagram ethos. Compare that to shitty banner Ads that disrupt the flow of content by being so different and so jarring in comparison.

Now, my opinion isn't meant to be generalized. Others may have a far different experience on Instagram (just because of how the product is designed to work). I'm sure there is someone who will chime in and say they hate Instagram Ads because they are completely ineffective. We could both be right in opposite directions since our feeds are probably very different.
...and yes, maybe saying "uncool" is a little hyperbolic... I sorta got that impression while reading about starting a business, but that was a while ago and I can't cite my sources.

This brought a couple of app ideas back to the front of my mind, but also the difficulties involved in shipping a Python app to an end user. Requiring the user to care about the right version of the runtime, their python and library path, etc. is a real pain in the ass for all concerned.

Are there any Python projects out there that allow you to ship a "binary" (even if it's just a self contained python with the relevant libraries like WxPython brought in) for people to use?
I would love to work at a company like Basecamp. Are there any other companies like them?

- Less is more. Jason Fried is such a minimalist, https://www.inc.com/magazine/20091101/the-way-i-work-jason-f...

- Few formal meetings.

- No full-time managers.

- In fact, just about everything in their books Getting Real, https://basecamp.com/books/getting-real, and Rework.

They do things that I've always felt are right but could not well argue. They are the opposite of most companies in so many ways, especially big corporations.

If you haven't read their books, you might tell me, just work at a start-up. But you really have to go through Getting Real to see how much they differ from everyone else, even your typical start-up. The chapter about doing less than your competition is particularly devastating, different than even most start-ups.
kdenlive is the only FOSS competitor you can actually use, but I would not recommend it if you are happy with your blender setup, it's not that much better.

There are some closed source options out there like Lightworks that are decent.
Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement! Also, this extends beyond two categories, it will train as many categories as you supply.

Part of what I wanted to tackle with this project is moving beyond the Jupyter Notebook where its very ad hoc to something more complete. For example, I'm working with a local park group on a trail cam identification project (what does the trail cam see? a deer? a dog? or is the frame empty?) and I needed to not only train but to also hand off the model to a moderately tech-savvy person. This was my attempt to wrap up the training, prediction and sharing of models in one (relatively) easy to install package.
Can you open source this on github? Or share directly ?
Your point, though accurately describes most government run hospitals, misses the crucial piece of information: This insurance is for Private run hospitals not government run hospitals (which is free anyways).

Quoting from the article:

If passed by the Indian Parliament and properly funded, the new program would be a vast expansion of health coverage, allowing people to visit the country’s many private hospitals for needs as varied as cancer treatment and knee replacements. Although government-run hospitals are theoretically free for everyone, the waits are long, quality is poor and corruption is endemic.
Yea, this seems like crappy gimmick. The fact people throw money at crap like this. The fact they got 25 million dollars too... One developer probably could build this...
I distinctly remember the tech being demo'd in 1999-2000. Huge amounts of "wow's" being echo'd in the auditorium. This was around when PS 4.5/5 was out. I guess it was a feature to be slated for PS 6?
If you take the anecdote to be for an individual (or just a few), yes.

Now take it to the economy.

Economy != business or individuals. If an individual "saves" it means they forgo consumption, so that resources can go elsewhere. When the economy "saves" (and let's assume we are talking about all of earth) it means - what? The same economic activity but fewer people buy something? Doesn't quite work. We could leave resources like oil in the ground to "save".

On the scale of the economy, there is no "saving" for retirees, not unless you are looking for other nations to fill the gap (but let's look at the whole earth so that won't work unless you find aliens). The currently working population has to produce everything needed for the currently living population. How would "saving" look like, I ask again? They produce much more and put it into giant warehouses to be used 30 years later?

That anecdote for the economy could mean that you stop trying to sell people stuff they don't need (more insurance, more cars, more... stuff). you can still invest into R&D, and more relaxed and less stressed people will be much more productive in this field than stressed ones.

Looking at studies of worker satisfaction and - a bit more unscientifically but still enlightening for its popularity (this and similar ones) - Dilbert cartoons, and also reddit or HN anecdotes and what I see for myself, a sizable amount of the workforce thinks their work contribution is rather meaningless. Still, we are forced to keep going. There is no option to stop and think "hey, my job is actually pretty useless". If you act on such a thought you will be severely punished by society. Anyone who claims that "the market" takes care of all those inefficiencies... well, okay then.
My question is: what is the value of a Bitcoin? It looks to me like a great way to transfer currency and facilitate exchange of goods, but not much more than that.

So 'investing' in this digital currency itself does not make much sense to me, because intrinsically it has no 'real' value. I might be misinformed about the subject, in which case I would gladly like to be shown my error.

For example, why don't I invest in Yuan or the Pound instead of Bitcoins? From my perspective the only thing driving up the price of Bitcoin is the demand for it by 'crypto-investors', which is completely artificial and they are not chasing any tangible value.

Can anyone enlighten me?
Quoting from the article:

As part of the budget proposal, Mr. Jaitley said the government would levy a surtax that would raise about $1.7 billion a year specifically for health care programs.
The most interesting thought to me right now is how the situation will develop if or bitfinex/tether crashes the market hard.

I am not a fan of the SEC getting involved. Taking crypto as an experiment, I think it is better for the market to take a hit and then find organic solutions. If the SEC gets involved and busts bitfinex/tether, the community loses the opportunity to become 'unbailable'. Yes , people will lose the money, but if you create the expectation that the sec will protect you as a consumer from the scams, then we will not be sophisticated to actually organically ignore scams.

What will happen next, FDIC and too big to fail institutions?
Yes, sorry--I meant that it's dismal because there's only 1 that actually works! :-)
How do the employees feel about it? I’d bet a lot of money they’re in the top 5% retention among tech companies. Also they’re probably pretty happy to avoid the constant churn and failed projects of working in a company desperately chasing hypergrowth.

I imagine customers are pretty happy too knowing that they aren’t at risk of the company being flipped and the product discontinued or bloated in order to attract the next order of magnitude growth from corporate buyers who will themselves never use the product.

Your last sentence is the most laughably ironic since the entire VC game is to extract value from the energy and drive of young people with the promises of Facebook riches which will only ever materialize for a vanishingly small number of individuals, especially amongst the rank and file.
So much this (not the case with Basecamp who pay SF rates apparently), if one doesn't want to run the business side of things - propping up business, chasing up invoices, early HR etc, then such a small business will usually not be able to pay him as much as Facebook or Google...
So it's it's good enough for the founders but not good enough for other talented engineers who'd otherwise join.
