I see this as one of the best times to short CME/CBOE BTC futures in the short/medium term. The market is VERY tilted towards being long, in fact, everyone is long crypto. It's likely people will sell a little bit into their losses and if a more major correction occurs, there is a HIGH risk of panic selling. There is so much uncertainty with Tether/Bitfinex that I'm surprised it's "hodling" 9000 still.
Homeschool Teacher Requirements-Your Role as Teacher
True but it’s a necessary counterpoint to the VC-fueled greed that you see reflected in the majority of articles from tech founders. Cancerous growth is the default aspiration of young people coming into tech.
Certifications are big for consulting type jobs like the one OP described as it helps the clients gain confidence. This description even stated that they just want you to get it after you are hired, which is fine. Many developers will put it off or refuse to do it so it's good to set that expectation up front.
Universal healthcare is cast as a 'populist' measure in the US. But if you look at data of cost of healthcare for nations applying universal healthcare vs those who do not in developed nations, India might rationally look at it as an economic efficiency measure.

Agricultural supports also can be looked at with a political filter, but the US provides government back agricultural insurance as a positive economic measure. Otherwise there may be a dwindling population of farmers and farming companies and increased food instability. One could argue about private vs publically funding these stabilization and boosting measures but it's much simpler/stabler to provide some forms long term guarantees via gov't policy than hoping a private market does it and does it correctly (without wiping out or consuming their customers). Are all these measures the same? No, but you have to look deeper than populist bad, private markets good.
I am single, and very social. My point, though, is that you can't really determine what is representative from your own anecdotal experience, as real as it feels to you.

Even adding the experience of a dozen HN users (and discounting the ones that disagree) still represents a small and very biased sample. And have you honestly gathered that much information about the experience and usage of your friends' friends? Or is it possible you are applying a combination of projection and confirmation bias? Also, the news cycle is currently mostly negative about FB, so it's popular to be bashing it, but many of those people continue to use it daily anyway.

I just think there is a very common pattern here on HN of people acting like "this product/service doesn't really work for me, therefore it is shit/out of touch/etc," when there are likely many people who do actually get value out of using it.

Swissquant.cc | Zurich, Switzerland | Java-Backend, Python-Backend | SALARY: 100k-150k CHF | ONSITE |EU-Passport holders or eligible to work in Switzerland

Swissquant is an ETH-spinoff that does risk management calculations for private banks. In 2005 a law was introduced that all banks have to declare risks to their clients. Big banks solved this in-house, "small", private banks could not do it and so Swissquant was founded to solve this problem.

We have a solid and great engineering culture and quite some math/equities 'geeks' working for us. We are around 50 people in the heart of Zurich-city right on Bahnhofstrasse and our team-size is usually 2-8 people. We use vanilla Java, the newest version, if possible and recently started building tools with Python.

There's a difference between a well tended garden and one left to do whatever it wants.

Consumers and producers don't always get to decide. If you live in a small town that has a Wal-Mart then it's extremely difficult to compete directly with that store if you're just some independent. People might like your business, but you can't buy at the same volumes, you can't force the hand of city council for tax breaks, you have almost no power in comparison.

Absent good governance then corporations decide everything and we get to "decide" between the options they deign to give us.

Logic programming is programming. It's like saying does the need for procedural or OOP or functional programming arise in software development.

It's a different style of programming, the mental state of the program when using prolog is to declare the rules that must hold true for the program to execute. You think less about state and more about logic.

In my opinion, here's what's amazing about this. There are programs that you might have a hard time solving via other means that you can easily solve with Prolog if you know the rule.

If you know the rules all you need to do is state the rules, and Prolog will find the solution for you. Besides being great for quick prototyping and application of rules. You can build complete systems with it. SwiProlog has HTTP, SSL, ODBC and even GUI support.
I'm 100% with you that preparedness and awareness and skill and experience improve your odds and are good things. But if you want true risk awareness, you must know that experience only improves your odds a small amount compared to the time spent participating in the activity. And, like I said, you still have to gain that experience. Everyone who's experienced went through taking those risks when they were less experienced. Many survived because of luck, not because of experience.

Consider it this way: half of all drivers in auto collisions weren't at fault for the accident. You can be the best/safest driver in the world, and you might only reduce your odds of an accident by half. You can beat that easily by cutting your driving to 40%, or eliminate the chance of dying in a car crash by not driving (which might involve an alternative activity that carries it's own risks.)

There are similar factors that are out of your control in most risky activities. In rock climbing, there are loose and sharp and slippery grips, there is weather and equipment, and there are often people on the other end of your rope. There are a lot of potential failure points that skill simply doesn't eliminate, whereas time spent in an activity always compounds the risk.

Skydive once in a year and you have a 1 in 100,000 chance of dying. If you make 100 jumps in a year, your chances multiply to 1 in 1,000. There is no amount of skill that will overcome the compounded risk of prolonged exposure to an inherently risky activity.

I note the casual acceptance of the slur "bro".

Rewrite the headline: "When did teaching become Harpytopia".
MIT is in the process of converting its brand's value into money. It's interesting, because the brand is so strong that they probably can announce even more stupid "quests" and "initiatives" and "labs" (like the IBM "collaboration") to extract value from industry without seriously harming the quality of the students who apply. But as a current student it's kind of heartbreaking. This place has been so special for so long. But even MIT cannot hold out against the corporate cancer that's been spreading through higher education for the last twenty years.

EDIT: just wanted to add, I'd love to ask the marketing team behind this site how they came up with quest. What the fuck is a quest, and how is it different than all of these researchers just doing whatever they wanted, anyway? MIT isn't funding these labs directly in most cases and the work has been ongoing, it's just a branding exercise.
They don't have to make the name of their bank public.

That wrongfully assumes the whoever is (if it is being) manipulating Bitcoin now will have an incentive to run another scheme again in the future.
You can also watch confidence in USDT directly by watching its USD price on Kraken:

https://trade.kraken.com/kraken/usdtusd
Yes, I'm responding more to takes like this from the article:

> “My personal biases make me inclined to believe that Bitfinex is not using Tether to manipulate the price of Bitcoin,” said Jeremy Gardner, a managing partner at the investment firm Ausum Ventures. “If they have attempted to do so, which would be deeply concerning, it’s hard to imagine that such fraudulent issuance at its current volume could single-handedly buoy the price of Bitcoin.”

My point is that being skeptical about their ability to manipulate the market in a meaningful way and make a profit doesn't mean they don't have a profitable motivation for engaging in fraud.

One of my uncles got paralyzed on his whole left side of body because of carelessness of govt hospital, lack of sanitation, corruption, and the general don't give a fuck attitude of the employees( if they cared to show up to work in the first place).

There is a running joke in India that "You can only go to a govt hospital" implication being that you'd not return alive.

I suspect this is another scheme concocted to gobble up public money via corruption. A gift that would keep giving for decades to come. For politicians to promise jobs in bureaucracy to their caste members.

Ofcourse, Nytimes piece mentions none of this in its effort to push "See even India has 'free' healthcare" ideology.
Crypto is learning all the hard lessons that banking has learned over the past 100 years. Ironic that a currency founded on the idea of transparency (the blockchain) is so fundamentally opaque at almost every other level.
It's impossible to understate how much your comment has oversimplified the gun debate in the US.

However, let's assume that the government has ideologically came to the same conclusion you've made and drafted a new constitutional amendment which outlawed gun ownership. There are incredible practical issues with actually enforcing it. How do you expect to collect 300 million firearms[1]? What do you do with 300M firearms once you have them?

There are also high rate of illegal (and therefor untracked) gun ownership in gang controlled areas. How do you expect people to feel about being disarmed when they live in an area surrounded by violent, illegal gun owners who haven't been disarmed?

What about the people who are gun collectors? Who may have spent their entire lives tracking down and collecting antique guns? Who's personal wealth may be largely in gun assets? Does the government pay them for each gun? Who the hell is going to trust the government to set a fair price for these guns? How much would it cost to buy 300 million gun and all of the related accessories and ammunition?

I'm barely scratching the surface here and this is assuming that Congress has already passed a constitutional amendment! Banning guns in the United States will never happen, because before any of these practical implications become relevant a new amendment needs to be passed in order to override what our founding fathers and a lot of the country see as the second most important amendment.
