Yeah. And then you actually want to create a layout that can display images properly, and you’re screwed.

There’s a reason all the “powerful CSS layouts” are all poor re-iterations of printed pages. Once you want actual layout, you end up carefully positioning everything with Javascript.

And by actual layout I mean things like Sencha (easily half of which still cannot be implemented in CSS without)

I don't think it's much evidence, if any, that civic responsibility is lacking. It's hilarious to think the contrapositive -- that not doing any inspection or effort or money-spending to validate and potentially legally 'avoid' what the authorities say is due and just paying the bill, evidences presence of civic responsibility. You can't just buy such things.
Facebook | Solutions Engineer | Menlo Park, NYC, Seattle, Austin, London, Dublin, Seoul, Hong Kong | Onsite

Solutions Engineers at Facebook spend roughly half their time working with product engineering teams and writing production code. The other half of their time is spent working directly with partners to develop and execute their Facebook technology strategy.

We find that this setup is great for engineers that want to spend more time on the business side of things or have more people interaction while still being hands on with code.

This allows large advertisers to work directly with people at Facebook that have a knowledge of the ads codebase, and Solutions Engineers can implement great suggestions made by partners.

More about the role is available at https://www.facebook.com/careers/life/solutions-engineering-... and at https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/29/facebook-solutions-enginee... .

Job listings are available at https://www.facebook.com/careers/search/?q=solutions%20engin... .

Facebook | Solutions Engineering Manager | Paris | Onsite

We also have a great opportunity for an engineering manager that would like to support a team in Paris. You would support a distributed team, so some travel would be required. Roughly half the time would be spent on people management, with the other half on Solutions Engineering work.

We are looking for someone fluent in French.

We will consider a very experienced tech lead that would like to make the transition into people management.

Yes, social agreements of this type come down to the state monopoly on violence -- if I don't pay taxes I will be locked up, and if I struggle I will be assaulted by then police.

But this is a collective (if undemocratic) decision.

In my example you don't just go and take your property back, you ask the state. And the starving person doesn't steal food, they ask the state.

There's a theme of over-personalization in some narratives, and I've seen it a lot in the USA. Feeding this person means another gets less. It's just not true, unless you forget literally everything else that society does, like infrastructure, for example, ensuring property rights. If you're that precious about paying tax to live in a civilized society you can go and live in the woods, but no-one's going to help you when your stuff is stolen.

What are middleboxes? This is something that I've never heard of before.
Well, nobody should get into debt to buy crypto.

But I'm not sure what the motives are here. I'm pretty sure banks like it when their customers get into debt?
I don't understand how:

> if you use a stolen credit card to buy something you have to have somewhere to ship it, therefore they can find the thief. with cryptocurrencies they just have to take a loss and open a new card.

Necessarily results in:

> credit/debit cards security model is absolute shit and should be illegal.

Can you describe a comprehensive alternative that would, at least in theory, be better.

As an analogy: if I come in to your house and steal your gold bullion while you're not looking, leaving little trace of my presence, does that mean the security model of houses is absolute shit and should be illegal?
Interesting. When so much money is on the table people are going to be creative.
Please don't post snarky dismissals here.

Yes, we were surprised by just how prevalent middleboxes were that didn't like gaps in sequence spaces. This significantly influenced the design options for MPTCP.

Another problem is that TCP is a bytestream protocol. Apps that stream over TCP don't usually add packet-orientated framing and resync points, so if you lose a packet, the receiver will often need to discard quite a bit of data after the missing packet before they can start decoding again. Effectively this multiplies the effective loss rate. In the extreme, there's the potential for congestion collapse, where lots of packets are being delivered but none of the are useful, so they're all discarded at the receiver.

Edit: I should add - middleboxes often resegment the datastream, merging multiple packets, or splitting large ones. So even if the sender added a header in each segment sent, those headers may not be at the beginning of the segment when it arrives. After a loss, you may not be able to reliable find the next header again.

By the way, that web server at UCL may well be the oldest on the Internet. It's probably the only server left proudly running CERN/3.0 on Sparc hardware since 1994.
Please also point out that that "linked bank account" is currently only work for China banks. If you are using foreign banks, no luck. :-(

And every significant transaction required you to provide ID, which is currently supporting China ID, some apps do have support for foreign passports, but do you want to share your passports to those China apps?
> the value captured by each Bitcoin would be the cost of the mining hardware and the energy used before the number is guessed correctly."

Sorry, the laws of physics say No. The electricity that you spend has been dissipated into the universe in the form of heat. It will quickly thermalize with its surrounding and be out of reach for useful work. Gone. You just proved your argument is a load of BS. Nothing is "captured" by each Bitcoin.

Stop spewing BS please. There is no "what goes into it" method. No one cares how much something cost you.
Can anyone find another investible thing that gets so much shit thrown on it by talking heads on mainstream media? Serious question. It feels so artificial.

wtf is that?

In college in the 70's, a fellow student was developing a stock trading program on the institute's PDP-11. He figured it was going to make him rich. I asked him what the algorithm was, but he was very secretive about it.

I'm only commenting on the context here. Your comment seemed to suggest that this decision was made due to the amount of fraud in the credit card industry. I don't think the article supports that position.

I do think this article makes some good points about the current dangers of the cryptocurrency market, especially for credit card operators.

To answer your question:

Yes, I do think people deserve privacy and security in their personal finances. I'm not convinced that cryptocurrencies provide this. My reservations come mostly from the apparent (and I believe historically obvious) instability of an unregulated financial market.
I agree I wonder how many people bought stuff a few weeks ago when there was an obvious massive bubble and tried to do charge backs or disputes when the price started falling and they releaized how much they lost?

> Because there is no point in being frugal if you have to pay significant corporate tax. And it helped expand "the empire" he was building, because he could reinvest everything.

Only profits are taxed, not sales. So if you "reinvest everything" you are not going to pay taxes.

You can hire more people, buy other companies, rent more equipment, etc. The net result is that the company grows but has no profits. It doesn't work if it buys real-estate, for example, as that increases the company value and the owner then needs to pay for the increase of the value of the company. But then it's on the share value increase, and not in profits.

High taxes can incentive grow as spending money to grow it's less costly than to capitalize profits. That's why lowering taxes is seen as an opportunity to withdraw money and reduce investment.

Investors loan them money with the knowledge that they do that, and banks have risk models in place to try to mitigate the risk associated with those trades.

Banks agreed to extend credit to Bob from accounting so that he could buy consumer goods, not so he could participate in leveraged trading. The average individual is utterly unprepared for that risk and doesn't understand it, and banks aren't prepare to accept that risk. If you force them to, they will be much more conservative in who they give credit to, and the average user will lose out as a result. It's far easier to ban stupidly risky behavior than build it into their credit models.

Also, if people want to do leveraged trading, there are mechanisms to do it outside of credit cards. The fact that people are using credit cards in itself suggests that they are unsophisticated and should not be doing such trades.

It means they don't need to get lawyers involved to check for any licencing gotchas from other non-free code in the tool chain. They might see it as a liability or reveals other tangentially related proprietary details of their tooling. There may not be much formal documentation, and if there is it would likely need to be combed through, updated, translated, etc.

Even without getting lawyers involved, I don't see how they could do any of the above tasks for less than the price of this Kickstarter.

Couldn't you have give also vague, but accurate information as well?

User's like to know what's going on, even if they maybe don't understand all the details, but at least they see things are happening and not just a (fake) progress bar. So they can connect more to what is happening and therefore be more understanding and patient instead of just being told to wait, with no further information, which nobody likes.
Sure, but you might not want to reinvest everything today, or within the same tax year, or perhaps you can't tax depreciate an entire property in the same year, etc. Acquisitions of stock (i.e. when acquiring competitors) can't also generally be offset against corporate tax.

There will always be some 'leakage' and taxes to be paid. Non-profits are generally exempt from all corporate taxes. If you don't care about putting profits in your pocket, they tend to be very tax efficient.

In the case of Ikea, a royalty on all sales (for use of the brand name) is paid to a low taxed for-profit entity. That's how he made his money. The larger the empire, the more royalties he gets, so the structure does make some sense. Not as perfect as running a pure for-profit entity, but probably one of the most tax efficient.
It's visual "proof" that the app itself isn't hung. I agree that you would have to be careful with the text, but progress bars do have some value.

A credit line is pretty much just a loan.

They price the credit line (set the interest rate) based on some level of expected risk.

If they believe an activity will cost them more in bad loans (and whatever else) than they will earn in interest, they will adjust the terms of the loan to forbid that activity.

I don't know why people keep setting up false equivalences and false dichotomies in these discussions. Just because single-payer systems are not market based doesn't mean other systems are.

> Further, "skin in the game" is mostly a euphemism for increasing out-of-pocket prices for care to encourage patients to be "discriminating consumers," a concept I've already detailed my objection to.

First "euphemism" implies some ulterior motive. I don't think people are trying to make people poorer. Hanlon's Razor would have us presume everyone at least thinks they have a mostly good idea.

Next, if people were somehow using their own money, they'd also have the option of choosing something 10 or 20 percent more affordable, keeping the difference for other valuable things, like paying off a house, paying for grandkids' college, buying those plane tickets to see their cousins, etc. The reason there is no downward pressure to save on individual things (even predictable, non-emergency things like deviated septums) is because there's no best viable alternative. We don't keep the three grand we save by saying, "Hmmm... maybe I'll just lose 15 pounds instead." That's how things are supposed to work.
I think you've just redefined 'deception' as things you don't like.

How is it not deceptive to make a user wait longer than the task takes? (Perceived benefit aside)

How is it not benevolent to make the progress bar smooth even if the underlying process is not?

Most users don't and shouldn't need to understand a process that may not progress linearly.

The article is pretty clearly operating on a definition of 'deception' where it means showing the user something different than the underlying process.
Awesome! I'm hoping to see Teslas in iRacing soon, would be highly interesting. :)
Definitely, that one is bad. I don't care for you to show me what you did in an animation I just want to go to the next step. Stop wasting my time.

Though I did find some steps where it made you think it was checking stuff you could actually hit continue and it would work all the same but cut the animation short.

I wonder if they have focus groups and it works for the masses makes them feel happy or acfomplished, but for the long tail it's just frustrating.

Would be nice to disable such animations.
As investments go I hold some coins and a few other things. I ran a 13TH mine of KNC Neptunes during the first big spike. I lost a ton of money in Mt. Gox. I sourced Avalon chips and designed boards for mass production only to have my chips stolen by the chinese government. After my run at all of it it paid for my business partners divorce, a bunch of my medical bills and we had some cash to sit on. At no point did I bet the farm or really ever see it as anything but a VERY interesting experiment.

I've basically been out since then, but might be jumping back in to running a multi currency mine if the stars align right. Again, I don't really care about it as an investment vehicle, I think the technology is interesting and I'm good at the ops around it.

No one really knows what the whole thing is going to be, I think bitcoin, with all it's flaws is here to stay but I think persistent information and decentralized network address resolution is WAY more interesting than money laundering, day trading, buying pizza, futures, ICOs, or buying drugs.

The day I turn on TV news to tell me about my budding technologies is the day you can just dump me in the river. Seriously though that guys yowling doom and gloom is either just ignorance or he's got a bridge to sell. I don't need to google him to find out which.
I haven't personally looked into the Rust based OS (I know it exists), but I can guarantee that they're using inline assembly, fighting with language features, working around limitations, and forgoing safety.

They could counteract the disadvantage to offenses by allowing holding by the offense in the tackle box. This would have the extra benefit of protecting backs better from being blindsided.

I think a better analogy is prohibiting using your credit card as a de facto margin account for buying crypto currencies.

If they were letting people purchase bitcoin on credit cards up until last Friday[, there's going to be a ton of people that racked up charges at the $15-20K price level in December that cannot pay them back. Be curious how big the damage is going to be for them.
Look at how trainers find customers. Usually, they go to dev conferences and give free talks; at the end of the talk, on the last slide, they mention about "call me for training". For example, Raymond Hettinger python core dev does it in his talks.

Check David Beazley training on python: http://www.dabeaz.com/chicago/index.html

He charges $2750 per student. His max students are 6. Now, you can check how many classes he conducts in Chicago.

There are too many online classes, youtube tutorials, coursera, udacity, etc. These classes help those who are really dedicated to learn. There are many others, who have full time or 40 hrs a week jobs. However, their companies don't spend on training and they want to learn hands on. This is where your business fits in, until you find a steady stream of corporate clients.
