Interesting theory. If they indeed hold the USD, they could still run away with it. The 2.3B$ worth of Tether represents more than 75 years worth of gross profit of Bitfinex (see https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/68wlre/some... ).

Software Engineer @ Splunk (splunk.com) | SF, San Jose, Vancouver, UK (pretty much everywhere -- just ask) | ONSITE | Full-time

HI! We need you to help us take the SH outta IT.

Is big data your muse? Is it something that engages you? Gives you a sense of accomplishment? Splunk is a personal Google for your data. Customers index terrabytes of data -- EACH. Everyday thousands of us help build the BIG DATA future. Come join us, build a career and that future.

Responsibilities: You'll investigate, tear apart, and rebuild server code. Customers come to our team when they have serious issues and need engineering changes to resolve them. Sometimes the issues are easy (don't run splunk on a 3,200 RPM disk) and then they can get serious (there's a kernel bug we need to work around).

There are a lot of moving parts and if you take joy being the colossus that rises above it all and saving the day, then email us your resume!

We use C++, JavaScript, NodeJS, & Python, our platform is deployed in AWS, around the world, and underwater.

ps: We also need Product Managers/PM! SOMEONE has to tell us what to build!!!

No one is stopping you from renouncing your citizenship and leaving the country.

The problem with your argument is you seem to want all the benefits for yourself with zero drawbacks. Society doesn't work like this and successful societies will never work like this.
I explain the name here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/7qn14...

Bizarrely (to me), more than one person thought the name was a play on the company "Shell Oil". Is that the connotation you got from it?

That's unfortunate, but I think as people use it more, the name will take on a different connotation. Guido was fighting "Python == snake" for a long time too (it comes from Monty Python). There were a lot of people that said the name Python was stupid and you couldn't convince your boss to use a language with a name like that.
The number of apps in all app stores combined that are profitable from store sales is also likely a rounding error.
We haven't. I'll check it out, thanks!

Stowga | London, UK | ONSITE | £40-60k + Options | Full-Stack Rails Developer | https://stowga.com

Our mission is to help companies transform their supply chains through warehousing as a service.

Our technology enables an innovative on-demand model to warehousing that allows warehouses to optimise their space by offering under-utilised capacity to customers who take that space without the long-term commitment of a lease.

In our first year of operation we have built the largest database of warehouses, identified a data-driven customer acquisition model, and signed up some of the biggest names in the industry on both the retail and the warehouse side of our marketplace.

We have just closed a £1.5m seed funding round with CBRE, Anthemis, Force Over Mass, Hambro Perks, Seedcamp and Speedinvest.

In October we won Wired Magazine’s 2017 Startup Showcase Award.

Thanks for this. My beloved aunt was diagnosed with cancer years ago, and has been fighting an awe inspiring battle against it the whole time. She was given bad news last week -- a short and definite time scale. It was hard news for me and more so for her husband, children and grandchildren, but everyone is keeping close in support of her through the hardest part of the fight so far. These battles are so hard to watch, but at the same time just as inspiring. Anyhow, that's the back story, I really just wanted to thank you for posting these words. <3

The problems we're seeing with cryptocurrencies are utterly unsurprising if you know what money really is and how it actually works.

I think people who are excited about cryptocurrencies assume that money is merely a tool to facilitate transactions between parties of people. The fundamental model of this is two people bartering goods, lol, in some sort of imagined "forest primeval" before money was invented. That money is just a substitute for that behavior. It's hopelessly naive.
I'm a big fan of Alexander von Humboldt, this ties in nicely, interesting to read. If you go to http://darwin-online.org.uk/EditorialIntroductions/Chancello... you'll see the connection.
Question as a guy unfamiliar with Microsoft Access. What is so good/better about Microsoft access, that other open-source databases already do not provide?.
The ACA did only cover a section of the US. 27 million were (are?) uninsured under the ACA.

I don't know the right answer on specifics of agricultural policy. I wish grains were less emphasized in US agricultural supports - but I also acknowledge that there is a built up knowledge base, and capital momentum around grains and the efficiency of food systems (as a total system around citizen health), isn't trivial. You have to trade off energy->food, caloric efficiency, and total health just to name a few factors.
Almost every universal healthcare system is has some degree of mix of private and public.

Norway is on the far extreme with it's strict restrictions on private healthcare. Almost every other country has private healthcare insurance as at least an option.

The question tends to be how much you end up contributing towards public healthcare if you take out a private option - ranging from no difference (you pay the same taxes no matter what), to only healthcare for poor/unemployed coming out of general taxation.

I have no issues with ads being left in.. hit the skip button 3 times on the phone and you are past the ads.

JRE.. skip the first 5-7 minutes until you pass the "Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night all day!" and you are set as well. Same with Tim Ferriss.. but there it's about 4 minutes

But mostly I listen to the ads.. they are usually less than a minute anyway (especially since I listen to everything at 1.5 speed... some at 2.0)

Netcapital is hiring a Marketing Associate
(1) is good! Great work!

(2) is a concern but ultimately depends upon the key management question - we already solved this and made an animated explainer videos of it: http://gun.js.org/explainers/data/security.html (and you can see a demo of it working in action in the parent posts, or just check the source code).

(3) the blockchain, yes that is problematic, and is exactly what me and Dominic were debating in 2014. If you use the CRDT approach (which is what we do) you don't have that problem.

So again, these are all things that have doable solutions, nothing can stop SSB!!! Not even pesky browsers.
Mutation rates can vary by orders of magnitude from tissue to tissue, with germline tissue apparently being the lowest.[1]

There is no reason to think that the rates important for adaptability/evolution have anything to do with those involving cancer and organ failure of non-gonadic tissue.

In my case I've got a large amount of ram (128GB) and run many virtual machines for various purposes, along with that I've got 24TB of drives hooked up with ZFS running to back up those virtual machines, family photos and movies, etc. Being able to know that an error has happened and it's been corrected or handled appropriately (even killing the system and needing a reboot is appropriate) so that data isn't destroyed is a good thing for me.
No BitTorrent clients in the App Store either. So I have to watch everything on openload instead.

i keep reading this article every few months and it's still not here yet.
sigh Yes... :( Soon is never soon enough.
I agree that we should be concerned about DRM. I think that the ship has already sailed on that, though.

Most people that I know use a streaming service for their music. Spotify, Apple Music, or Google Play Music mostly. They already don't own the music they're listening to, and even when they download it to their phone it's encrypted and can't be easily transferred anywhere else.

The experience is convenient and cheap enough that they just don't care.

They don't even need to get rid of the headphone jack to only allow specific headphones. Nothing was stopping Apple from only allowing people who own Beats with a lightning cable from listening to Apple music, even when the phones had a headphone jack. I imagine a similar scheme could be cooked up using the microphone input to the phone. Have the headphones transfer some kind of key through that to the phone, and only allow certain analog headphones to listen to music. Sure, it's probably easier to crack than USB C/lightning based DRM but still possible.
It matters a great deal, though you might imagine otherwise: my company makes bombs.

I feel that I make a difference with my work. I can see the results in the news.

Being unethical would include things like selling duds, billing the customer for time spent on other projects, colluding with competitors to raise bid prices, bribing the customer's people to choose us, stealing plans from a competitor, hiring unqualified family, and choosing subcontractors based on bribes.
Agreed... difficult to read a book on a run or while walking to the train station
Sure getting featured helps, just like if a fashion designer has a celebrity photographed in their clothes, they will probably see a temporary bump in sales.

Getting featured on the App Store is one time, possibly incredibly beneficial, event, but it is not a marketing plan.

Let's agree about the premise that a objective reality exists. Still, the problem persists - we do not know anything about this objective reality or more accurately said, we can not know whether our subjective perception of reality matches this objective reality.
There is no way to find out as we are bound to our limited senses.

I'd recommend reading "On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense" by Nietzsche.
States are given some leeway from the Federal guidelines. California and FHWA have always had a tenuous relationship, so it is of no surprise that they have different road markings. At one point, California threatened to pull out of the Highway Trust Fund program because they felt they did not receive their fair share. The Highway Trust Fund is funded through Federal gas taxes and redistributed back to the States. Some low population state receive more money than they put in, while some large population states get the opposite. If California had pulled out, they would not have been eligible to receive any Federal transportation funding.
Looks very polished, but turned off by the download procedure and the fact that they only provide access to minified/obfuscated JS.

I would argue that requiring my email address to download = not free.
I think this is a much better level of discussion than populist or not-populist.
Disagree. The culture is special, and that culture is what drives specific change. The bar is high, and because everyone around you is pushing themselves you end up pushing yourself further than you might have otherwise. The culture pushes you to think big and think impact. The institute gives you such permission to grow your ego in order to grow your work. Having Harvard nearby creates an even more special atmosphere as your social life often involves mixing with others on an intellectual level that spans subject matter. To me that’s just some of the magic.
The second most important amendment that is responsible for thousands of deaths each year. Sure, the ban will never happen, that's why the USA will just have to deal with an enormous toll of completely avoidable deaths because of theoretical technical difficulties of outlawing such outdated and dangerous concept as civilian firearm ownership.

Exactly. It boggles my mind that people can't grasp the difference between the two. I hate the fed and the department of the treasury, and think QE is a horrible policy just like our permanent deficit. But I happily welcome the SEC and FINRA getting involved in cryptocurrency.
It’s an experiment that is repeated time and time again, and people refuse to learn.

In a lot of countries with universal healthcare it is provided by the government insuring the poorest and the unemployed, and requiring everyone else to insure themselves. The idea being that it gives those with the means who might want to pick and choose higher levels of coverage can do so, but nobody gets left behind.
For example: https://signalvnoise.com/posts/1941-press-release-37signals-...
While some promote tax policy as the most important (sometimes the only) measure of national value, it actually doesn't make them "opposites."

Some podcasts have relatively short ads at unpredictable times. I listen to those 90% of the time. Some podcasts do live reads that are predictably 3-4 minutes long, which feels like an eternity, especially when they're doing the same ads they did last week. I skip those every time.
