I have not developed a single line of code without a cat by my side for 11 years now. While they occasionally walk all over my keyboard, they are more effective than the Apple Watch at getting me to stand up, walk around, and interact with the world. Cats are truly great; their antics definitely spur engineering creativity.
In US law, the treatment of each is very, very different. How about: someone planned, identified a target, went to do it and had a change of heart? Innocent in the US, because, well, no crime was committed.
Pretty sure Putin isn’t worried about losing elections, dictators don’t have that petty little concern.

We were not, these weapons (and medium range missiles) were banned under treaties, but Russia tore this up.
Which is preferable to you. That those people be punished appropriately for their actions but continue to believe that they were justified; or that those people are genuinely persuaded they were wrong, repudiate their former beliefs and actions and work to undo the damage.

Personally I believe in both, where criminality is concerned. Appropriate sanctions and rehabilitation are the ideal. For non-criminal prejudice and discrimination, I think the latter is perfectly acceptable.

> NATO went too far with deploying anti-ICBM systems right next to Russia's border

How can it be too far to install an anti-missile system on your own territory? That seems eminently reasonable and uncontroversial to me. It's not even a euphemism is it? It literally is purely a defensive system?

It's like saying you provoked a burglar by putting a bigger lock on your door.

I've seen this opinion put forward and I don't really get it - wondering what your underlying principles to reach that opinion are?
Submarines with nukes that cannot be easily located is where the deterrence is. There is virtually no good defense against such capabilities, so this long range low altitude nuke changes nothing.

According to a cursory Google search, In-N-Out has stated it will never go public or issue franchises. So they are less "pyramid-shaped" than a lot of businesses.

However, nothing is forever and philosophies can change. Look at the saga of Chipotle, they were so very full of themselves, and now they have someone from Taco Bell to pick up the pieces of their shattered reputation.

Any "family business" undergoes instability as generations hand off to new ones.

Interestingly, someone has been selling fake In-N-Out franchises in California. So you could say that even if you don't want to be pyramid-shaped, the pyramid sellers will find you.
Putin was set on world domination long before Trump was elected. Obama and Clinton thought they could "reset" relations with Putin, but Putin was playing them the whole time.

Congrats on the lifestyle change! Were you overeating before?

I've heard a lot of anecdotal stuff about keto and magical side effects, but I really wonder if it's effects are from losing weight/eating a better balanced diet. In my experience it's really easy to overeat with carbs. Sugar in particular gives me crazy cravings.

It would be nonsensical to state numbers for the total number of people can who move through an entire city because it is heavily dependent on how much space is dedicated to each mode of travel. They are making a comparison of how many people who can move through a given amount of space depending on what mode of transportation they are using.
I moved to Iowa During the recession, from California. The people were so nice it was incredible. There's a lot to be said for Iowa. Low cost of living, 4 seasons. Enough snow to make you hate it, but not loathe it. Great tech community. And some of the sharpest people I have ever met.
If it's a nuclear ramjet SLAM, while you could in principle shoot it down, if it's anywhere near your territory when you do so, it's pretty much as bad as not shooting it down, as both result in radioactivity spread over a large area.

So, short of force fields and teleportation, there is no defence.

The Americans knew this when they were developing the technology in the 50's/60's, and axed the project in the interest of not encouraging the Soviets to make the same unstoppable doomsday weapon.
There are defenses against this, but they're not reasonably in grasp for most people. If I start having a police officer interrogate me about something outside of a traffic stop:

1. I know enough to stop answering questions

2. I have a lawyer I can call and ask to get involved

Both 1 and 2 are, however, not choices for the vast majority of people.

I take it you didn't do much development on machines without memory protection. The problem isn't reading from 0x0. It's writing to 0x0 (and beyond), clobbering system memory , memory mapped IO, or even your own application.

> He [Putin] argued that Russia had reacted after years of pleading with the US not to break away from anti-missile treaties

So let me get this straight... The anti-missle treaties, a defensive technology, is being used to justify offensive weapons.

I understand that the counter strike capabilities are important, but why not just work on your own defensive tech?

Also, of course Putin will win the election - he literally murders the opposition [1]

Although obviously ridiculous in many ways, the ability to design large stable systems is relevant for when thinking about the question "How many O'Neil cylinders can we build in the habitable zone?".

If we mine the asteroids, Mars, and Mercury for materials we can build habitable surface areas that are in aggregate many times greater than Earth in size. Each carbon fiber Bishop Ring could have an internal surface area the size of India.

This simulation reminds us that space is really, really big, and really, really empty. If you can fit 416 planets, just think how many space stations you can fit.

Or the models and maths fail at a certain threshold.
I've done inside and outside sales, and have hired employees to do inside sales. I have a number of outside sales / manufacturer reps who I periodically talk too.

- Hiring is not that much different from sales in my opinion. If you are doing recruiting, you have to really sell yourself and your company on why a prospective company should work for you, over other companies. You need to vet many prospective candidates through cold calling, interviews, etc if you don't have enough prospective candidates in mind. In a startup with a lot volatility, a prospective employees first concern should always be bringing food on the table. In addition, you have to sell your company + ideals + yourself even more if you are hiring someone who you've never worked with (e.g. someone on indeed.com posting), and expect to have a probationary period (1-3 months) where you might have to fire them. Ideally, you should know from selling B2C or B2B experience how well that sales person should be performing (how many sales they should be getting per week, etc)

- MBA =/= Sales. MBA is for upper level management on corporate structures, and is not a necessary skill for selling at all. You stated you had advisors for this already

- Looking at your other comments, this sales person is going to be doing hard-sells by phone call, soft sell through website leads. Sales is a hard earned skill. Its really not something you learn in a textbook. The most difficult part of sales in general is dealing with the laborious grunt work task of cold calling people, coping with potentially high amounts of rejection, following up with CRM, etc.

- Your going to have to spend some time educating this employee on the software. Not to profound technical efficiency, but enough to answer all the questions a prospective business might need to know about it (e.g. how much is it [fixed amount, quote by quote basis, how does it help them save money/time/resources in the long run, do you have well known companies / competitors running your product, etc)

- A salesman with potential networks is worth more than someone who does not have a network. A good example of this a bank account manager. When a bank account manager moves banks, they generally take a large % of all their clients with them to the new bank. The same is true for lawyers who move law firms as well. Having someone with an "in" saves a lot of time since you don't have to deal with a decision maker's secretary at a potential business, etc. This "in" is pretty analogous to applying for job at a specific company and not knowing anyone at that company for referral, its a harder road to climb but still doable.

Those are just general things to consider. Have expectations clear in writing moving forward. What responsibilities he will be handling and what compensation he will be getting as a result.
At launch, yes. We categorically intend to release a US focused version but we want to iron out a lot of the early stage kinks first.
Surely it's a bad investment for anyone who has morals. People may assume that others generally aren't evil and so will not support obvious (to them) scams.

Yes. All intellectual property you work on, including in your spare time at home on your laptop, belongs to Google and you have to go through a reassignment procedure where they declare they're not interested in your work.

> "We sat down one morning," recalls Steele. "I was at the keyboard, and he was at my elbow," says Steele. "He was perfectly willing to let me type, but he was also telling me what to type.

> The programming session lasted 10 hours. Throughout that entire time, Steele says, neither he nor Stallman took a break or made any small talk. By the end of the session, they had managed to hack the pretty print source code to just under 100 lines. "My fingers were on the keyboard the whole time," Steele recalls, "but it felt like both of our ideas were flowing onto the screen. He told me what to type, and I typed it."

> The length of the session revealed itself when Steele finally left the AI Lab. Standing outside the building at 545 Tech Square, he was surprised to find himself surrounded by nighttime darkness. As a programmer, Steele was used to marathon coding sessions. Still, something about this session was different. Working with Stallman had forced Steele to block out all external stimuli and focus his entire mental energies on the task at hand. Looking back, Steele says he found the Stallman mind-meld both exhilarating and scary at the same time. "My first thought afterward was: it was a great experience, very intense, and that I never wanted to do it again in my life."

I always like this story. And I wish I had an experience like it.
The costs, Hyper-V is included in Win10.
I wonder how it would work in an employer/employee relationship. I can't imagine the government recouping an employee's pay from an employer who has been stealing, assuming the employee is not aware of the theft. Could evading taxes and paying employees be considered stealing from taxpayers, which the employees have to pay back?

I see the hazard in letting people keep stolen goods, as it might be hard to prove they were or weren't knowledgeable of that fact allowing thieves to get away with it, but at the same time how far does a government get to go in determining which of your assets belongs to you.

From the Wikipedia article:

"After delivering all its warheads, the missile could then spend weeks flying over populated areas at low altitudes, causing tremendous ground damage with its shock wave and radiation from its unshielded reactor. When it finally lost enough power to fly, and crash-landed, the engine would have a good chance of spewing deadly radiation for months to come."

"Too provocative" was a pretty mild way of putting it.

Last ditch effort of a failing regime. The Russian economy should be much larger considering their size. The oligarchs will use nukes to strong arm the international community into reducing the embargoes so they can bail on their failed state. Then they will take their plunder to south america, where they will live out the rest of their lives in paranoid ecstasy.

> If it's a nuclear ramjet SLAM, while you could in principle shoot it down, if it's anywhere near your territory when you do so, it's pretty much as bad as not shooting it down, as both result in radioactivity spread over a large area.

So obviously the only reasonable solution is to develop a system to shoot it down way before it gets near you. To say that such a system can't be developed in the future is not short-sightedness or a lack of imagination, but simply propaganda.

California was ranked #32 overall.
No, I wasn't. This is part of a progression I started 2 years ago. I was a hardcore case of skinny-fat ever since I was a kid. In other words, my BMI has always been normal, although my body fat % was probably through the roof (small frame, no muscle at all, quite a bit of fat).

First I started a "future food" liquid diet (Queal) together with running 5K 3 times a week. The change in diet (I was eating mostly precooked and fast-food) and the exercise worked pretty well.

Then I switched to other future food providers, but I was finding it difficult to gain muscle while not gaining fat. As it turns out, it's all in the macros. Most Soylent-like products are catered towards sedentary people who come from very crappy diets, or who don't mind having a less-than-ideal diet for convenience.

At one point I was already almost doing my own DIY powders (using one commercial brand as a base and adding my own fat and protein, to keep the carbs low). Then, after 3 or 4 months reading and researching the ketogenic diet, I decided to go all in and start my own DIY ketogenic powdered food diet.

I enjoy tinkering with pretty much everything, so coming up with a proper formula and tweaking it was and still is an amazing experience for me.

I encourage you to at least give keto a try. It's true that "whole food" keto is a bit hard, and it's also hard to keep track of all the micronutrients you need and where to get them. Either way, the benefits are incredible.

Apologies for the lengthy response.

Edit: Oh, sorry for not addressing one of your points. Actually, the amazing increase in brain function is felt quite early into the diet, when no weight loss (other than water encased in glycogen) has happened yet.
Couple of questions for anyone who knows about this kind of hardware.

(1) Is the nuclear arms "race" still on? Ie, Is the US still playing a game of my offence/defence is better than yours with The States?

(2) does this count as a new bar or milestone or somesuch, and if so when was the last "milestone." Ie, something that changes the strategic dynamic between major powers in a somewhat meaningful way.
