If they deregulate it’s not unthinkable that they are looking across the water to Sweden. In Sweden there is no difference between different operators, Uber is a Taxi company. You can’t drive anyone for money without being a taxi company.

Actual ride sharing where no one makes money is obviously not taxi. What Waze commute will count as I suspect is still up in the air so long as neither of the people in the car makes any money.
The X is by far my favorite iPhone. Face ID is a big step from Touch ID. The edge to edge screen is a great touch. My only complaint is that it is a bit too large for me, even with large hands. I would like to be able to swipe down the control center more easily when operating with one hand.
This is objectively not true. Women played a role. They still play a role. They didn't rule anything. It was the Wild West, and it was ruled by anyone who was willing to take a chance and succeed.

This rewriting of history, to make it look like men conspired against women to seize control of technology, is weird as hell. If you view the world this way, you're probably not a very easy person to deal with.
(1) There's more demand for swapping BTC for cash or occasionally even goods/services than USDT period, and even more so when the price of BTC goes up. Offloading $2bn USDT is hard work because it's not a speculator-friendly asset

(2) They already had BTC and a belief in its future. Making it worth more, easier to exchange for cash and having more of it looks like a win all round if you don't mind committing fraud.

(3) Leverage, provided the BTC price holds up for long enough to cash out. Even if you're printing fake money, you can only print as much of it as people believe you actually have.

(4) BTC price rise income looks like it might be a legitimate income stream when auditors ask about it. Income from selling stuff that's supposed to be backed by a dollar for a dollar is obviously the proceeds of fraud.

(5) BTC holdings can likely continue to be bought and sold even if nobody wants USDT, bank accounts connected to Bitfinex and Tether end up frozen and a rapid change of address and identity is required

Money laundering is often very convoluted and usually costs money, but it's big business.
And that's why anyone who has any experience in the stock market isn't suprised with what's happening: they've seen it before and they've been warning about this.

Thanks so much for this heartfelt comment. The personification of cancer as an enemy didn't really click with me until my family was directly threatened by it. Reading through the drugs in her chemo cocktail, I come across bevacizumab. A little bit of googling and:

A cancer needs a good blood supply to provide itself
with food and oxygen and to remove waste products. When
it has reached 1 to 2mm across, a tumour needs to grow
its own blood vessels in order to continue to get
bigger.

Some cancer cells make a protein called vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The VEGF protein
attaches to receptors on cells that line the walls of
blood vessels within the tumour. The cells are called
endothelial cells. *This triggers the blood vessels to
grow so the cancer can then grow.*

Wait...what?!?!

OK, what about this trial...atezzolblablblah.. What's it do?

Programmed cell death protein 1 is a cell surface
receptor that plays an important role in down-
regulating the immune system and promoting self
tolerance by suppressing T cell inflammatory activity.
PD-1 is an immune checkpoint and guards against
autoimmunity through a dual mechanism of promoting
programmed cell death in T-cells in lymph nodes while
simultaneously reducing cell death in regulatory T
cells.

...

PD-L1, the ligand for PD1, is highly expressed in
several cancers *and hence the role of PD1 in cancer
immune evasion is well established*.

Seriously?

This thing isn't just some dumb pathogen floating around that just DoSes your body. It's digging tunnels and cutting phone lines. It has strategy.
I've used Shotcut, and it was easy to use, and its simplicity reminded me of iMovie, which I also recommend for beginners. KDENlive was also good enough for most projects. As stated by others, the biggest weakness is that these editors are based on MLT framework. But if you cut videos once in a while, these are fine.

As for me, I edit a lot more videos, and I spend a quite of time on doing it. I've tried to work with a lot of different FOSS video editors, except Blender, and my conclusion was always the same -- it's usable, but a little rough on the edge, and has just enough minor bugs or quirks to be irritating and sometimes frustrating. I'm not talking about just crashes, since that happens on all video editors even on Premiere Pro.

Video editing is somewhat similar to coding, as it requires a lot of concentration, intensity, and creativity... There's nothing more frustrating than having the software/tools that gets in your way and block your flow and progress. Also time is money in video production house, often with tight deadlines. Some wedding videographers are offering same-day edits, which sounds insane to me, since video editing takes a lot of time. As for me, it takes about 7 hours to edit 1 hour video.

Currently I'm using Davinci Resolve 14 (on both Mac and Windows but haven't used on Linux yet). So far, it has worked surprisingly well. I really like the built-in audio editing and coloring tools. All this is free, with exception of some features for pro/studio version.

Some have complained the lack of h264/265 import on Linux version of Davinci Resolve, but you can always transcode to "pseudo-lossless" codec such as DNxHR/DNxHD (or ProRes if on Mac) using ffmpeg first. This step is usually automated using script to convert raw footage. Most pro workflow also involves this extra step, because editing on h264 source is really painfully slow and inefficient.

As a side note, the last time I checked, in LA/Hollywood, Avid was still the king of editor, but it may be changing. Anywhere except Hollywood, Premiere Pro CC is definitely the most popular editor, especially when it's used in conjunction with After Effects. However, I didn't need AE and I didn't like subscription-based payment model. Avid Composer First is free version of Avid, but it can't output 4k, and Avid UI is horrible.
That's like saying if everyone maxes out their health insurance, insurance companies will go out of business. In any given year, not everyone is going to use the ~$8000 allocated to them. Also, healthcare in India is cheap. $8000 goes a long way.
But don't the same market forces come back into play? Shortened transaction times, "brand name" for speculative buyers, more attractive price. It'll burn a lot of people, but another one born every minute...
Nope, MacOS. Just doesn't work on my system, and I have no idea why.
Isn't universal healthcare that all people and communities have the same access to healthcare? India's population is 1.3 billion and this says it will cover 500 million people. So, it doesn't cover all people and communities. It covers some part of the population.

Let's say Obamacare covered only a specific section of US what would have happened then?

To clarify my stand here, I am in favor of Universal Healthcare but not this.

Edit: I saw your edit on agriculture later. So, let me count that out too. We should do everything to support agriculture but the whole policy is skewed towards grains and every bump happens helps to ingrain the fact that grains good but vegetables bad. Do we really want that? So, I am in favor of a policy which works for all and not for specific sections which at least Indian laws tend to do.
We're still committed to improving tooling, so please file bugs!

I've used the "Native Debug" extension with VS: Code in the past.

I've heard that if you have a CLion license, it (with the Rust plugin) is pretty solid at debugging, but I don't own one of those.

White House reopens petition website that promises official responses
Exactly. I was updating my comment as you posted this. The party stops when usdt needs to be defended. And they need to use either their usd reserves or any btc they have from selling usdt/btc to hold the peg.

Or they can defend it by selling bonds. We mat see bitfixes tying to write loans in cryptos. Or literally just steal from people. They have a lot of customer accounts they can raid "temporarily".
Yes it would cost $800B dollars if all 100 million insured fall ill at the same time and use the entire 5 lakh rupees allocated: which is highly unlikely. This is pretty much how insurance works in any part of the world. The only difference here is that it's allocated out of tax payer money.
Hmm, I'd like to like this, but it appears you're just getting computed style. But "computed" !== "used".

>and then find organic solutions.

I don't understand this perspective. You have a proven, verifiable, simple solution right in front of you. Then you ignore it with some skimpy platitude to dive right into economic mythology.

Regulation is the correct solution.
> What about it involves thinking of elements as bits and sets as whole numbers?

I said bitwise arithmetic, not binary numbers. :)

> Everything you just described is just a physical representation of sets and operations on sets.

Sure, and how is the set represented and its operations implemented? In the Oracle, each set is represented by a bitmask with a bit position for each element in the set. Set operations are implemented as bitwise operations on those bitmasks.
The devil of Bitcoin
That is an interesting idea. I would worry that it would have the "cliquey" problem that another commenter mentioned.

I do like the idea of having a public forum to comment on work, regardless of where it is published.
the simplest and most efficient scams of all time.

This maybe the simplest scam but I think the most efficient one is the one being pulled by the fed.
> if Bitfinex is lying about their dollar reserves this might be one of the simplest and most efficient scams of all time

i get what you're saying, but doesn't this mean that value of USDT is fake rather than value of BTC? in the end it's those that hold USDT will run to sell it either for USD or BTC, which would push BTC price even higher? now that would be ironic!
> 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.

Why have laws at all if you're unwilling to enforce them?
The apples to oranges is in reference to comparing Bitcoin to the AI's as a whole. AI as a whole survived the winter but a random implementation from 1985 did not. My comment was comparing Bitcoin as an implementation of a cryptocurrency to previous implementations of AI that have generated hype and then became either irrelevant or obsolete.
What is the value of anything, really? The value of a metal brick, or a shiny stone, far exceeds any practical utility of the physical object itself. Even the value of a "real" currency is based, in broad strokes, on what you can exchange it for.

ReferWell | node.js contractor - 8-12 weeks | New York, NY / Upstate SC | REMOTE OK (US only), Contract | $50-$60 /hour

ReferWell ( https://www.referwell.com/ ) is delivering better outcomes for patients and better referrals for specialist and primary care doctors in the US.

Our main office is in Manhattan, and we have a developer presence near Spartanburg, SC, where we intend to set up a dev-focused office later this year.

The immediate need is for a contractor to assist in building out a hypermedia API for an ongoing partner integration. The services making up this API run on a stack using docker, mysql, redis, and node.js. The core need is for someone who is comfortable writing in a modern JS style (async/await, unit and bdt, etc), who avoids slow and unsafe patterns with SQL, and who has some experience with docker, ssh, git, and so forth.

Familiarity with any of JSON Hypermedia, OAuth2, AWS administration, microservices, Ansible, Consul, or Jenkins is a plus.

The contract is expected to last 8-12 calendar weeks, though number of hours for each week may vary. We plan to get started in February, so the decision process should be short.

As mentioned, we will be setting up a physical office in SC in 2018; for a developer located in the Upstate, this contract could lead into a FT position.

Please use careers.dev@referwell.com to ask questions or send your details for consideration.

Keep in mind that Bitfinex can have the money and still be crooks. The feds probably care more about money laundering than they do about whether or not the money actually exists.

Even if all the money behind Tether is real, the end result for the markets may be the same.
onedot.cc | Data Preparation Expert / Data analyst | Zurich | SALARY: 90k-120k CHF | ONSITE | EU-Passport holders only

We solve one of the biggest problems in e-commerce: Normalizing product information. Using machine learning and NLP we transform broken, badly-labeled, unstructured data into useable, categorised and normalized data.

Let's say you are the owner of an e-commerce shop for tools. There are three suppliers sending you the "same" model of screw; one calls it SCREW-ABC-123 in his CSV, the second one calls it SCREW.ABC.123 in his XLSX, third one SCREW/ABC/1-2-3 and drops it in a Word-file.

How to bring this quickly into your SQL database? Well, so far companies employ people do this manual work, and we are using Math and NLP to automate this.

We work mainly with Scala (backend) and we research a lot on NLP and ML to further the field.

We look for:

- Data Preparation Expert / Data analyst - you will help our customers adjust their data to our platform.

The interview process:

1) Screening of your CV and a few questions why you want to join us

2) Technical call with CTO or engineer

3) Onsite day solving a programming task with us.

Send us a short intro about yourself to:

Armour Comms | Developers / Operations | London, UK | Salary range: £40-60k + options + bonus + biscuits | Onsite | Full-time

We’re a team of security-minded developers creating real-time secure communications applications for enterprises, finance and governments; you can think of us as a government-certified Whatsapp (other comms products are available).

We’re looking for like-minded people to join us in a variety of roles:
- Android, iOS and Windows 10 native client developers;
- Specialists in cyber-security (hands-on fixers, rather than theoreticians! If you've enjoyed Cryptopals then this could be the place for you);
- Full stack / back end developers who can deliver a shiny UX as well as in-depth server-side functionality;
- Networking and Operations folks to install stuff with interesting customers and help them when things go wrong (including deft handling of PEBKAC issues).

We look for people who can work autonomously, deliver ahead of schedule, and not hum annoyingly when listening to music on their headphones while working. You need to be dynamic, adaptable, experienced, with a strong existing knowledge of networking, VoIP, SIP and stuff like that... or at least be really dynamic and fast-learning.

Armour is a 20-person company, offering share options, bonuses, and an unhealthy dependency on chocolate biscuits and doughnuts. We’re also very British, which is why we spell doughnuts the correct way.

Interested? Take a quick look at www.armourcomms.com then email us at info@armourcomms.com.

I agree, and I prefer jQuery over native. It's still better, and does more. My point was that people say we don't need it anymore because the features it introduced are native now, and I think that's going to be said about React and Web Components too at some point. The same counter-argumemt will also be said: people will defend continued use of React because it will still be better, and will still do more. Just like jQuery.
That's why we need decentralized solutions that break the hold the current centralized platforms have on us.
I've been using Gurn (yeah I know it's an terrible name!) for over a year. I was initially pretty skeptical but it's totally won me over.

It is one of those tools that makes your everyday job way easier. I can type 'go instances' and boom I'm straight where I want to be in the AWS Console.

I can't imagine being without it now. It's such a great productivity tool. If they ever shutdown I will build a shoddy version just for myself, seriously.
Maybe that's because it was so far behind to start with? And I'm finding it hard to keep up with all the changes. Some things just seem like they're awkwardly bolted on, like Lambdas.

A Code of Ethics for Data Science
I'd rely on a referral network, and ask them situational questions.

A bunch of "Given this scenario what would you do?" questions.

Ask them what's important in a progress report to give to clients. How they think about it, ask for other reports.

And people management I think if you find someone that seems empathic they'll probably be good at managing people.

Also ask them questions about how to help with retention etc...
Perhaps “Arbeitsmoral” could be translated as “work ethic”.
If they figure out how to escape I think I'll let them have it.
The only thing novel here is the blogging/marketing. Lots of profitable companies don't hire when they don't need to - they don't brand it a "hiring freeze", blog about it and have strangers fawn over the concept.
coinbase already FDIC insures USD holdings, and 3rd party insures crypto holdings.
