How to Store Cryptocurrencies Safely
Ok, you wholly own and operate a C Corp. To keep it simple, it only has two employees, you and Jack.

Your business has negligible expenses and has revenues of 150k this year.

From that, you pay yourself 100k to run the business and Jack gets paid 40k.

Congrats. You made 10k of operating income. What are your options?

1- Take the income as profit, pay tax on it @ 35% and retain the earnings left over.

2- Do the above, but issue a dividend to yourself for $7.5k, and pay 20% tax on that income on your personal return leaving only 6K.

3- Bonus the money to Jack. It’s tax deductible for the business, so now your EVIL corporation pays $0 in taxes! Jack gets a boost and pays almost no taxes on the 10K because of his income level.

I never said you pay taxes or employees.

Either pay more in taxes and pay employees less OR pay less in taxes and pay employees more.

Correction: you could do both by losing money every year. I’d hate to see your company’s financials though.

Effective tax rates are meaningless as a sign of total tax burden and can mean multiple things.
> At my Doctor's office, the doctors are scheduled for 15 minute appointments. at an optimistic assumption of 15 minutes travel time to and from each appointment, a model where the doctor visits each patient requires 3x as many doctors for the same level of care.

It's not "either/or", there is no reason not to have both systems running in parallel. I would have no issue paying a doctor more for him to come visit us at home, to ensure it makes it as profitable for them to do that.
I'm not an expert, but I think the broad strokes are pretty straightforward. Let me take a shot.

It depends on the type of plant.

There's a concept in power generation of "base load", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_load , which is the minimum usage. Some plants are expensive and slow to start up and shut down. If they're cheaper per kwH, then it makes sense to use them, but only for base load.

Then there's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_following_power_plant , which are halfway compromises. They spin up and shut down perhaps twice a day. If load starts falling (or grows more slowly than predicted), these'll definitely get spun up less often. If load rises (faster than predicted), more of these will be used while plans are made to bring up more base load power plants.

Then there're peaker plants, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaking_power_plant . These are expensive but responsive. They spin up and shut down within seconds of a change in demand.

This is all controlled by auctions, at various timescales.

The real-world effects of digital health
This whole thread started about embedded development.

As noted, unless we are speaking about PICs with 8KB and similar, the majority of them can easily be targeted by C++, which is what Arduino and ARM mbed do.

Already in MS-DOS, on 640KB computers, using C made little sense.

When we needed performance, Assembly was the only option, because the code any compiler was generating in those days was average quality on their better days.

When performance wasn't that critical, then the improved type system, RAII, reference types, type safe encapsulations were already better than using plain C.

We even had frameworks like Turbo Vision available.

So if something like a PCW 512 didn't had issues with C++, so a modern micro-controller can also be targeted by it, except for political reasons.

Developers that are against anything other than C, even if their compiler nowadays happens to be written in C++ (e.g. gcc, clang, icc, vc).
Where can I find data on YouTube keyword searches?
Last I checked, a majority (plurality?) of peaking power plants[1] burn natural gas. When demand increases enough, the base load[2] increases and more power plants are added to the grid.

The grid is not a battery; generated power in is always close to the current demand output. Any claims that crypto-mining uses "clean" power just indicates the claimant doesn't understand that power is patently fungible[3].

These rankings are the source of a constant joke between my girlfriend and me.

She, Singaporean, previously proudly pointed me at these lists to support her claim that the SG passport is the world's best. Over the last couple month the numbers shifted around a bit and for a time my German passport was ranked the same and for a while even higher.

Given that I have not a lot of experience with visa issues (due to the passport and limited traveling, mostly around in the Schengen area on top): How expensive/difficult/limiting is it if you need a visa for a lot of locations?

I think the only visa I ever needed was one for India and that was rather painless, straightforward and fast.
I see. I actually thought your comment might have been said in bad faith as an insult, but I now think it was focused on the context of the post, while mines was focused on the context of what I was replying to. I was replying to the aforementioned method of detecting planets via dopplar shifts in a star's light... I've always wondered about that--with how much precision can you actually know what is causing the shifts. How many gas giants, smaller planets, etc? For example, I suppose two planets of equal size, orbital plane, and 180 degrees from one another would mute their gravitational effect on their host star.

I used to download all ML videos for offline ad hoc watching. But, this crash course videos cannot be downloaded using 'youtube-dl'. Any recommendations?
The cost is less because:

(1) the restaurant has limited sit down space and chef time during peak periods;

(2) eating times in China are highly regimented (office lunch hour dominates);

(3) delivery customers by default can tolerate higher volatility in meal completion schedule;

(4) the actual cost to the restaurant for a 50RMB meal outside of the the limited sit down space represented by high rental costs and the chef's salary (already paid by peak hour sit-down customers) is negligible, often under 10RMB including ingredients, cooking energy and packaging;

(5) delivery platforms are battling for market share.

In short, the primary issue running a conventional restaurant is limited temporal and spatial bandwidth to serve customers. Delivery takes advantage of resources already spent toward the primary issues, so can be substantially discounted without loss.
Containers aren't the problem. Even without containers, it's not that hard to automate the build/deployment infrastructure. The problem is when "Joe" is the only person who knows how to do anything with X. "Joe" leaves for a high flying company that uses X. You have new requirements for the thing "Joe" was working on. "Anybody fancy working on an X project?" <crickets> "I know. Why don't we rewrite this in Y. I hear it's the new X anyway.", "Great idea!"

Cool tutorial, but I'm not entirely sure what makes this ML -- aside from neural nets, this is more or less the material you'd encounter in a basic applied statistics or regression analysis course, minus material on estimating uncertainty, modeling survival or time-series data, and causal inference.

So moving an electron generates heat. While we use transistors at the low level to do the computation, the method they work by is shuttling electrons through substrates, which have some kind of inherent resistance.

So it's all I^2R heat losses.
Under relativity, you can't simply add speeds like that, unfortunately (I believe this is related to the fact that the speed of light is the same in all reference frames). Here's a link that can explain it better, though: http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/about-us/139-physics/the-th...

In short, you can't go faster than light in any reference frame, relative to any other observer.

Is Bitcoin efficient? Perhaps not. But it's no worse than the alternative - banks.

Story 1. I went to Taipei to meet someone from HN. He wanted to pay me back for my train tickets. His American bank card didn't work in the ATM. I suggested, half-jokingly, "Why not Bitcoin?" When he was back in the US, I set up an account, and the transaction was easy.

Story 2. I wanted to donate to a webcomic: http://blog.mixflavor.com/p/donate.html

First I tried PayPal. "We're sorry. You cannot use your PayPal account registered in Taiwan to send payments to, or receive payments from, other PayPal accounts registered in Taiwan."

This lunchtime I went to my bank, to try to make a transfer. The guy at the entrance saw the screenshot, and asked a colleague. She and he then made a phone call. A third person came downstairs, and she spoke English. She couldn't understand the written Chinese, and told me it's not their bank's problem. She told me to go to another bank down the street.

The second bank involved 3 people reading, translating, discussing, searching Google Maps, to then send me on to a third bank.

The third bank had a security guard at the entrance who asked what I was trying to do, and took me to an ATM to make a deposit. He navigated the Chinese-language menus, asked for my phone number, took cash, and finally made the deposit.

It took 45 minutes and 8 people to try to send money to someone, and I was late to come back to the office.

Bitcoin is doing well, not because the blockchain is so hot right now, but because banks are just awful.

I tried, but failed in the career shift. I found myself more draw to the tools than the writing.

I understand you are probably at a very early stage of product design for the satellite capabilities, so you are cagey and don't want to make any definitive statements of technical specs... But I'd rather not move the discussion off forum into private email when the other people reading this thread could possibly benefit from answers to my specific questions.

I am kind of concerned that your answers to others' questions in this thread are vague and noncommittal.

One more question. Do you intend to:

(A) lease raw transponder kHz capacity to third party end users and ISPs (eg: the ku spot beams I can get on Russian satellites covering Afghanistan and a check for $4500 USD a month,

or (b) is your business plan to operate both the satellites and the earth stations, and resell fully packaged VSAT services directly to end users?

Remaking Education
Tangent and slightly off topic... but I'm interested in the thinking here.

Maybe I take propositional statements a bit too literally? I don't see the trick, or it's not even a good trick.

Is bitcoin a waste of electricity:

1. No. something worse? No.
2. No. something worse? Yes. <-- doesn't make logical sense.
3. Yes. something worse? No. It's just a waste of elec.
4. Yes. something worse? Yes. <-- really hate bitcoin here

So in case 1, how is it conceding that bitcoin is a waste of energy? Case 3 & 4 already agrees that bitcoin is a waste of energy regardless of "something worse".

Maybe the better statement is "Bitcoin is worse than wasting electricity"(???) Then the target needs to deny that it's "worse" before considering "waste of electricity".

Thoughts?
I was skeptical about the business model, the bikes cost a lot, are rented for cheap, and for some reasons the companies go head to head in the same towns instead of covering different areas.

Part-time drivers are also likely to already own their own car so factoring in 100% of vehicle depreciation is disingenuous. It only makes sense to father most if not all of vehicle depreciation for those drivers that are working full time.

It's not like Dara walked into a whiteboard in the CEO office that said "list of 2016 suckers lol" and then sat on it twiddling his thumbs for a month. My understanding of the incident is that it had been covered up by Sullivan and TK. In my mind, an investigation is precisely for figuring out what the hell happened, who was affected and to what extent.

I don't know the specific details of this investigation in particular, but for the Holden one, it involved a lot of one-on-one interviews with various employees to try to reconstruct the stories of each harassment claim so that an appropriate punishment/course of action could be determined for each case. If this investigation was conducted in a similar manner, it wouldn't surprise me that finding out the blame would occur in tandem with discovering the extent of the breach.

Meditation excerbated the anhedonic symptoms of my treatment resistant depression quite severely.

Fortunately for me, it sent me back into treatment with a psychiatrist that put me on the only class of antidepressants that actually works. (Recent studies in which they throw out everyone who does not respond to treatment, handily gaming the statistics in the process, notwithstanding.) I'm unlikely to ever see remission, but I'm definitely doing better now.

Before anyone suggests it, I'm experienced enough to know I wasn't 'doing it wrong'. Being 'stuck' in the present is how depressive anhedonia feels.

Wow, this is a great post. Thank you for taking the time to write this up. I've been using Firefox for a while now, but kept most settings fairly close to the defaults. I'm unhappy with many of their defaults, but hadn't been motivated to start tweaking stuff.

I'll note that disabling custom fonts breaks certain sites. I don't consider it a deal-breaker, but it's worth being aware. Many sites abuse fonts for icons. Developers, please consider using SVG icons instead.

Another comment mentioned how user.js disables WebGL and WebRTC. IMO, that and many other browser features should be disabled by default. If a site requires their functionality, I should be able to whitelist it. Safari used to let you conditionally enable WebGL access for only certain sites, showing a prompt when the functionality was accessed. It's a damn shame they removed the feature. I don't think most sites should have full access to all these browser APIs. Heck, all the storage APIs should probably be limited to the current session by default, with the option of requesting longer-term persistence for trusted services.

I'd really love it if we had an easy way to create fully isolated containers for each web service or group of web services, with varying tweaks in their security preferences.

Since we're already on the topic of configuring Firefox, I have a tangential question. Does anyone know how to configure Firefox to automatically save rar files? You usually receive the option to always save different file types, but the choice isn't available for rar files, so you always receive a download popup. It's quite annoying, and I have no idea why it happening. A cursory search didn't reveal any useful information on the matter. It's perplexing, because tar and zip files can be set to automatically save without any problem.

I hadn't seen uMatrix before, but it looks promising. Does anyone know of any user-friendly OS tools that lets you monitor and inspect requests? On macOS I used Little Snitch for a long time, but I'm trying to shift away from closed-source tools (no problem with paying, but I want to be able to compile it myself), especially for something so critical. Also, it doesn't let you inspect requests.

That is a naive point of view. The python community has been growing for decades [1]. Even if it is not growing as fast as javascript community, the growth is sustainable, and probably won't slow until the companies that rely on it for core parts of their infrastructure are gone (that could be 5 decades). Google, youtube, instagram, and countless other enormous corporations with trillions of dollars in combined market cap are dependent on it. Python isn't going anywhere.
