I've done >20 seed investments, and here is my Rule #1: you can do seed investing as a hobby, or you can do it as a business.

If you do it as a hobby, count on losing every penny you put in, and treating that as the cost of pursuing your hobby.

If you do it as a business, count on working on it full time, i.e. AT LEAST 40 hours a week, and probably more like 60-80. The competition is fierce. And I would not do it with less than $1M in LIQUID assets which I could afford to lose. The reason you need this much is that in order to have a good shot at a return you need to be able to do two things: 1) invest in a pretty broad portfolio (i.e. at least 10 companies) and 2) have enough money to participate in follow-on rounds so you don't get diluted into oblivion.
My point being I knew that before I bought my iPhones/iPad. I actively like there being the one well kept store where things are verified and that apps can only be installed through. Granted not everyone will feel this way and I guess Android offers them more freedom in this respect.

Brazil's is also dual, everyone gets covered by the public system, but there are plenty of private systems.

And Chile is always a special case, the combination of natural resources, small population and good public systems does wonder for the country. Despite the extreme differences, I tend to compare Chile to the Nordic countries more than with LatAm.

Not sure if that's scalable to larger countries, which is always the big question.
Thermoregulatory-related chronic insomnia, ambient-temp woes
For months now I've had particularly debilitating chronic insomnia. Either onset will take hours, or sleep following my half-way point will remain light and dissatisfying. Bad nights will yield me about 3-4 hours, good nights up to 6.

I have a convectional heater in the bedroom at my control with which I will under/over compensate for outdoor ambient temperature. Fiddling with it frequently has been my approach, as, layering sheets and blankets often results in frustration at onset; I get too hot under them, too cold without, in spite of the fact that this was once upon a time the way I would sleep. As such I keep a single bedsheet (with extra at my feet) as the only constant, and fiddle with heater to achieve thermoneutrality.

When sleeping in the nude, thermoneutrality is thought to be around 28-30 degrees Celsius ambient, while with bedding it's around 16-20, depending on the individual. I've had mild success some nights just setting my temperature somewhere in between (24,24.5) and have attempted to recreate those conditions. Fluctuating temperature outdoors renders this near futile some nights.

Let me rule this out: I practice what I believe is adequate sleep hygiene. I go to bed and wake up at a regular interval, exercise early, I stay away from electronics for a spell and do some yoga, I read for 30-40 minutes, I take a hot shower an hour ahead of sleep, it is pitch dark in my room, etc.

If thermoregulatory issues are familiar to you, what conditions do you hazard are the most consistent/reliable way to manage temperature regulation? Particularly when dealing with deviations in ambient temperature.

My hunch is that I need a more reliable bedding "stack" to test at maybe 20 degrees (18 seemed uncomfortable), such that I would rely on bedding to adjust comfort rather than relying on getting ambient temp just so. What I've read tends to point in this direction, but my attempts have been failures.

Seeking commission-only sales agent to sell high-quality on-site training on IT Operations and DevOps.
We deliver on-site training world-wide. Our model achieves real learning: we have small class sizes, expert instructors, excellent materials, and lots of practical, hands-on lab exercises that leave the students really knowing their material and being able to use it.

Customers have told me it's the best training they've ever had, from anybody, on anything.

I'm partnered with CFEngine, GitLab, Docker, and am a member of the AWS partner network.

Looking for an independent sales agent. Progressive commission structure (the more you sell, the more you make!)

Remote and part-time OK.

The magical "beat the man" ethos is now gone, some dystopian bureaucracy allusion, the ride's ending, prohibition is over
Here is the whole paragraph for context:

„I remember one really funny story that happened to me on a train when I commuted to college from my home town. A guy was sitting next to me playing with the cube. I asked him about his system. He said: "I am using the Fridrich method." I asked with a surprise in my voice: "You actually memorized ALL algorithms?" His answer was: "No, that's too much. I know only some of them." I replied with: "Well, you need to memorize all of them otherwise you are not really utilizing its strength." He looked at me frawning and said with his mouth half open: "Yeah, so what's your system?" I answered with a big smile: "I use the Fridrich method, too, because I am Fridrich." He did not blink an eye, did not say anything and handed me his messed-up cube. I solved the cube in about 20 seconds to prove my words and we both laughed at the coincidence.“
Is there a way to watch the stream without having to be an accredited investor or will the video be posted publicly?

New Vector (Matrix.org Riot.im) | London, UK & Rennes, Fr | ONSITE | Full-time | Team of 13 growing rapidly

New Vector is the open source software development startup which employs the core team behind Matrix.org – the leading project for secure decentralised communication. Matrix’s mission is to create a universal open network and protocol for real-time communication; liberating users from being trapped in the islands of communication they use today and returning ownership and control of communication back to the people. New Vector builds flagship apps for Matrix such as Riot.im as well as contributing to the core Matrix open source clients, SDKs, servers, bridges and the protocol itself.

We believe that the Matrix protocol has the potential to become part of the fabric of the internet, bringing with it a future radically different from the increasingly centralised internet we see today.

While New Vector is self sufficient, following a recent funding round [1,2] we are looking to grow the team across the stack. In particular:-

* UX/UI Designer to work on Riot web and native apps

* Backend Engineers to work on homeserver development as well as bridges, bots, integrations and widgets.

* Android Engineers to build out the matrix-android-sdk and Riot.im app

* Frontend Engineers to build out the matrix-react-sdk and Riot.im web experience

* SREs to support matrix.org and riot.im infrastructure

* Cryptography Engineer to move our E2E Encryption out of beta

If you are up for the challenge or just want to know more, either write to us at jobs@matrix.org or reach out to me via matrix IM on @neilisfragile:matrix.org

Even if you are not a perfect match for the above get in touch anyway, we’re always keen to talk to people interested in Matrix.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't back-propagation one of the major techniques in the AI of the 80s? It's 90% of mainstream AI today. Activision was one of the major publishers prior to the video game crash. Today it has the largest share of the market. Just because some things fall out of favor doesn't mean all of them do, especially the most popular ones.
It's an interesting article, because yet again it seems to imply that Apple invented what they're doing. Edge-to-edge phones had existed for a long time before Apple released theirs, and Samsung's S8 family had even done it on a flagship level.

Apple did it very well, but it isn't "true courage" to follow clear market trends.
The fisherman gets little support from community, because they are still pissed he testified against popular community member back then. Closed small communities often work that way.

> Do you think that Tether got greedy, invested its USD reserves in more risky assets

Yes. Obviously there are simpler ways to run a scam, but not as profitable.

I also think that this might not have started out as a fraud. Madoff didn't original. I think they feel into this sort of thing.

A Practical Guide to Business Applications of ARKit
This was back in 2011. We modified the init script to stop the zygote process from launching, then used our own C code running as a normal Linux process to work with /dev/fb. So yeah it was rooted and it was an old version, but we were mostly outside of the Android ecosystem entirely.
I wish people would find organic solutions, but history shows that people reliably fall for the same scams over and over and over again. Gambling is one of the oldest economic activities and remains as profitable as ever.

I've been shocked before at how little due diligence large investors sometimes do, especially when a mania is in effect. These are professionals whose job it is to invest wisely. What do you think the average person who is ignorant of the depth and complexity of finance is going to do? Are they even qualified to evaluate complex financial products?
This cancer is being evolutionarily selected for proliferation and resistance to regulation. It is being constantly engineered to destroy.

See also epithelial to mesenchymal (ETM) transition, in which cells lose their anchors and become an entirely different kind of cell so that it can better infiltrate other parts of the body.

It's pernicious and highly specialized because that's why it survives.
And that's why everyone will die of cancer if something else doesn't kill you first.
I have a theory that some of the market crash in December was because of selling Bitcoin (originally gotten from USDT) for USD in order to fill their reserves of backing USD. I think that USDT could be moderately sophisticated in that they could have fulfilled their coffers via market manipulation.

If they were smart and brazen, I think they could have possibly pulled it off. One would have to study the market inflows and outflows.

This type of pump and dump would show up in their books, so a thorough audit would find it. But it may mean that they have a lot of USD now. Thus I am unsure if USDT will technically crash.
For some reason I read it as "the MIT intelligence test", and was confused.
The sync issues between an RDBMS and ElasticSearch are definitely the most annoying aspect of getting something like this working.

In the case of my current project, I've got an 'indexer' service whose sole job is to await messages from RabbitMQ to create/update/delete records to/from the index.

But sometimes an update may get missed for any number of reasons. So, I've got a systemd timer that fires off a little script to go through my audit tables in Postgres and make sure all changes since the last run were actually, in fact, synced to ElasticSearch.

And I'm still wondering if what I'm doing is 'good enough.' How else could this thing fail?
SEEKING FREELANCER / SEEKING WORK

Location: Provo, Utah

Profit from my poor planning! Let me be your dorky subordinate freelancer that you contract the crappy stuff out to!

You: an experienced freelancer with more work than you can handle --- or maybe you just have an eye for arbitrage.

Me: a better programmer than businessman. I'm going back to school in April and need to pay for tuition. A lot of my problems would disappear with a good amount of work at $20-30/hr (1099) for a few months (or possibly longer; let's talk).

"He quoted his rate first, which is stupidly low, and he wasted my time telling me about his problems? This guy is like the worst freelancer ever." Yes! Now's your chance to nab that sweet sweet middleman money!

"No one could be that desperate." Dude, I wrote this last night upon returning from a 10PM - 2AM janitor job. Trust me, I am good to go.

"OK, well, can you, like, actually do anything?"

Yes! My main focus has been Clojurescript/React SPA's. My last gig was for a venture-backed SF startup. Before that I spent a couple years slaving away on a cross between Excel and a Lisp environment, rendered in SVG by CLJS. I've also done work in Ruby and Python, though I'm weaker on their standard libraries. Do I mind boning up on anything, unpaid? No. Remember: janitor.

"I mean, we're talking remote here, are you going to be a giant headache?" No. I have experience working remote, probably just like you, and know the pitfalls.

"What's the catch?" In the end, of course, you'll have to judge for yourself! From my side though: I'm looking to satisfice on deal flow, rather than optimize on rate.
Hopefully we can help each other.

Tab over to your email (c'mon, you know you have it open), and send any sort of message to devarbitrage@gmail.com. It will automatically respond with my name, phone number, and actual email. Let's talk!
I think Perl 6 has this concept of using the language to modify itself. Not exactly through homoiconicity, but the concept is somewhat similar.
To answer your direct question, Tether is sold as a fully-backed instrument, so there's major (potentially billions of dollars of) fraud if it's not fully backed. That's an issue because consumers aren't getting what they paid for, i.e. the underlying risk profile is different from what they thought the were buying.

The big difference with Tether is that in traditional banking, fractional reserves are legal, and regulated (i.e. banks are required to prove their reserves, and are required to hold a certain percentage of their deposits).

If there's a run on a consumer bank, and they don't have enough reserves to repay their customers, then FDIC insurance steps in to protect the customers. In this case, there's no protection, so everyone holding tether will be screwed if there's a run.

Yes - cx_Freeze. Nice example is Cura application:
https://github.com/Ultimaker/cura-build/tree/master/packagin... (hint: .in files)

They are shipping Python 3.5.2 + required PyQT5 parts + other python libraries. Only Python files visible for users are in plugins folder (rest are bundled[as pyc-s] in single zip file, python interpreter is "merged" with entry *.py file as an executable).

You can easily download Cura from Ultimaker site and "inspect" result yourself ;)
> What are some well-established initiatives working to on governmental accountability and reducing corruption?

In the not-so-distant past, there was a pretty successful initiative where people would occasionally end the lives of people who blatantly stole from them, or egregiously misrepresented them, while holding a position in representative government.
Not every user is smart. That's why there is a necessity for centralized/trusted solution. I wouldn't sleep well if I knew my mom could install a malware by mistake on appstore. Unfortunately, life is not this simple and every path there's a toll.
I have.

That's how I know that the labor protections brought up by OP are not solely the creation of organized labor but also part of a long term trend of increased wealth and productivity due to technological advancement.
