All accurate. It is definitely marketed at investors, but I've used it as my checking account (er, accounts) for years now.

Although there are a handful of branches where I live, I never physically go there. I handle all check deposits via their mobile app. I never receive cash for anything though. You are correct, it would probably be a bad choice for someone dealing with a lot of cash.

> I understand "their" as a plural

Singular "they" has been in use in English for centuries. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they or https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/singular-nonbi... for example.
Yeah, more than likely the only problematic part is the transition animation. The main problem was another component breaking the performance in the examples page, not the component itself. Should be fixed now :)
This is already true - sort of. Not to the extent that one person can run 20,000 screens, but that also wouldn't be solved by this new LED screen.

I'm the lead projectionist for our local 8-screen cinema but there are no times at which I'm specifically 'the projectionist' sitting up in the box, because we run entirely digitally and everything is automated - rather, I'm one of many trained staff who can resolve issues when they arise.

The issues that do arise most commonly are related to the media server that play the digital cinema files, and rarely do we have issues with the actual projectors. If we were to use this LED screen, I would assume the rest of the hardware would remain the same, and the new screen would just act as the projector replacement, so I don't think this would solve any of the software issues for which we currently need trained projectionists onsite.
With all due respect to “start ups”, most don’t go anywhere and most employees don’t make it rich even if the company does have some moderate success. So treat it like any other job offer. Do you like the work, people, compensation, etc? Are you comfortable with the risk?

When trying to evaluate the above items, make sure you understand how much your compensation actually is. Are you getting stock or options? How much is the strike price vs current shares selling price? How many outstanding share? How many outstanding options? Do they have any dilution protection? Are they the same series/rights as investors? Are additional options currently authorized but not issued? Is there ability to sell shares currently? If not then when?

FYI working for an established company does not mean your job is any more secure.

FWIW, I started a company that is 17 years old now so I think I have, at least, a little knowledge behind my opinion.

Lastly, this is random internet advice so ymmv.

When you have kids it's nice to own because you know what school district you'll be in and knowing you are unlikely to be forced to move you can provide some stability for them. I never considered that aspect until I got there myself.
The backscatter node is not necessarily used for hopping purpose, since it is ultra low power in operation, it can be used for data transmission where life time is a bottleneck.
Hey I'm with you. I would love for those to go away and everything work off of digital transactions but some property managers (even in new complexes!) pay for some poor saas solutions that use a mix of dated tech and charge ridiculous fees that almost force people to not use it.
>> CO2 emission intensity

Avoid this phrase at all costs. It is a buzzword used by the likes of the clean coal lobby. Global warming isn't tied to emission intensity, but net emissions. The fact that CO2 emissions are down relative to economic growth, but are still climbing, is not useful. It is PR turd-shining.

I'm on staff at an anime convention. We use Eventbrite.

Our event is on private property, but more importantly - one of our traditional features is a couple of rooms in which attendees can simply watch anime with other people. Eventbrite's clause would be in direct violation of our agreements with licensors.

We can't even allow a second of footage of the content. Once I had to ask a guy who was wearing Google Glass to take it off, even though I knew he wasn't going to record anything, because it was a camera directly pointing at the screen. (He was very cool about it, and even let me try it out!)
An issue that seems very suspiciously motivated and decontextualised. One such source I've seen comes from "ABC":

First: ABC take funding from an oil company, Conoco-Philips. That's not an indictment of itself, but it does smell funny.

They're also touted by the Heritage Institute, a notorious right-wingnut / Libertarian disinformation mill.

Source: SourceWatch: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/American_Bird_Conservan...

ABC claims that as of 2012 there are 573,000 birds killed from U.S. wind power installations.

That compares against:

* 100-120 million birds killed by hunters.

* 174-175 million birds killed by transmission lines.

* 365-988 million birds killed by buildings and windows

* 0.2 - 3.7 billion (with a 'b') birds killed by domestic and feral cats.

This seems exceedingly agenda-driven.

Don't think of it as an airline, think of it as a greyhound bus which flies. Manage your expectations inline with how much you're actually paying.
Cool. Now they just need to give better interest rates compared to Schwab and Ally. :)

I own a home built in 1927. Maintenance and renovation are similar to the costs of carrying a mutual fund.

I hire out most renovation, but don’t hire gardeners, etc. If you want a hands free lifestyle, that’s awesome but costly.
Bwah hah, that reminds of me the ADSP-21xx series... They had a second register file for the interrupts. No pushing or popping. Interrupts happens, bam, all of your accesses are exactly where you left them! And when you're done, return to main thread and all registers are exactly where you left them on the next clock cycle!!!
Depends more on how variable your supply is. If you have to meet a two week window with below average wind it isn't enough. If you have to just meet day to day variation in wind it is probably enough.

Unfortunately two weeks without much wind are common in general weather patterns. Thus my gut reaction is it isn't enough. However we are now talking weather where local patterns are the important thing which means each situation needs to be considered separately.
I did buy a used car, just a more recent, nicer model. At the time, I thought I would hold on to this car for years, so I went for a step up in quality as well.

One thing is clear. If they delete my data upon my request, they do not,for obvious reasons, delete it's contribution to any ML that was trained with it. Also, when deleting data, I wonder whether they delete any derived scores based on my data.

Amazon is too big of an example. But look at Filecoin. They are trying to create a competitor to S3 -- a decentralized file storage service. Today, that is much more expensive and slower than Amazon's offering. But with all of the scaling solutions in the pipeline (sharding, alternative consensus algorithms like dPOS, sidechains, etc.), perhaps that will change. And I don't see why that couldn't be forked, in the same way that BCH forked from BTC.

Here's another example. Peepeth.com is creating a decentralized twitter, with IPFS for storage and indexing on the Ethereum blockchain. Since all that storage is open and public, the creater of peepeth.com is trying to build a business based on his front-end. People can freely create alternate front-ends or apps, and leverage the existing open database of tweets without being limited by Twitter's policy whims regarding its API.
I am an engineer working for a registrar and we've been told by at least one TLD that there is no difference. We used to "mask" the registrant email regardless of whether or not the customer had opted-in for proxy registration, and we were told this was not allowed by the TLD operator.
AFAIK the author means imagine "Amazon" as a concept around a popular marketplace for books, food and computers. Not imagine that tomorrow amazon is supplanted. Amazon is not built as a blockchain competitor. If you imagine that it is, then imagine forking it...
On some forums/CMSes bare links to YouTube are converted to full-sized previews automatically and you can't disable this behaviour. You just make a piece of text a plain hyperlink to a YouTube video and once you click "submit" the parser comes into the play and a huge picture appears in the middle of your text instead of a couple of words. Masking the link with goo.gl solves the problem and adds an extra goodie letting you see how many people have followed your link.

Shortened URLs are also easier to type by hand / read aloud and look prettier visually.
The rich countries want cheap workers, you can have them both cheap and educated in foreign languages, this workers also will go home when working season is over or if they don't like the conditions. The ones that do not directly benefit by this cheap workforce may not like this people that don't speak the main language well but the ones that benefit don't care.
As I said, I've only had it once. Definitely couldn't do anything while the aura was there. Good luck on having less in the future!
Situations where a long and nasty url is printed, say in a church bulletin, and so has to be transcribed by eye to be useful.

is.gd/ourchurch-supper2018 is so much easier.
How much of it is "just perception" and not actually true?

The mainstream and social media can amplify negative sentiments, which propagate between people. This leads to a bad assessment of reality.

Yup transaction costs are outrageous in Belgium. I blame it on the continued 19th century practice of upper crust families parking their more dimwitted members in civil law notary positions, guaranteeing them a respectable income without giving them the ability to cause too much harm. Seats for those offices are still getting hawked around today (expensive to claim one!).

All kidding aside, yes, the high transaction costs are a real break on speculation in the housing market there.

IRL Analogies Explaining Digital Concepts Are Terrible
That's not necessarily true. In kubernetes, for example, you have Liveness and Readiness probes, which can both have a period, timeout, initial delay and importantly a number of failures before you kill the service and spawn a new one.

This allows you to have less frequent checks that are more in-depth, and basic ones that are just the `return true` type.

I guess you're correct that you can have a widespread db outage that makes many of them fail, but then there should be new ones coming very fast, as you can set the deployment minimum for services taking requests. I think you can get very close to stability even in this circumstance.

A few other meandering thoughts, you'll need to be the one to figure out what makes sense.

- You're already not getting data from people with ad-blockers, consider also respecting Do Not Track[0]
- Be transparent about what you track and how it's used
- The data collected from opt-in users might end up being enough to build convincing enough reports for impact questionnaires?
- Your privacy policy seems confused: "We think the best way to ensure that your personal information stays safe is to never collect any in the first place" then "we only use Google Analytics, which gathers information about our site users and generates aggregate reports to help us figure out who is using our site and extensions, and in what ways"

Userspace Networking with DPDK
Very large and unexpected things do happen. About 10 years ago, I ended up with about a $60K bill to correct a chimney that was basically collapsing and pulling the house down with it.

But I agree with your general point. In the case of my paid-off house, I figure it's about [EDITED] $1K per month (counting some big projects) for upkeep (depending on how you count things that are nice-to-dos rather than strictly necessary) plus taxes and insurance. It is a very old house (early 1800s) so maintenance is probably a bit higher than a more modern house would be.
For credit cards/banks, yes, but I can live without venmo. I initiated the transfer, but they then blocked my account, so I closed the account.

I agree, but I find it hard to beleive that isolation alone is enough to make them so unempathetic. I can only assume it has something to do with the human capacity to lie to one self, otherwise even acknowledging the truth would just be too uncomfortable.

It is indeed beautiful, which makes it terribly difficult for me to even consider leaving - especially having a five year old daughter to whom Boise is all she's ever known as home. I wish I could stay, but between the increasing pollution, lack of transit options (I don't drive, so this is huge to me), lack of jobs I'd actually want should I need new employment (ClearWater, HP, T-Sheets, Kount, etc. all suck in some way) combined with the political nightmare that Idaho has become have all but pushed me away. Heck, I can't even enjoy the beauty of the area half the time because there's so much litter everywhere these days -_-
a friend ,who had a job interview with careem, told me i should use a different mobile number and name if I'm using their service. Glad i followed his advice.
My point is often that those that are pushing for stricter formats have good intentions. Strong arguments, even. However, what is required to grow the adoption of something is different than hardening it. And typically hardening something makes it brittle is some way. (Which is super risky at the adoption stage.)

And, of course, most people don't actually understand why they succeeded at something. It is easy to understand failure from a specific cause. It is much more difficult to understand success from a combination of many causes.
I'm not talking about blithely jamming it back, but a reclining seat is something you pay for, right? It's not because you feel entitled, it's because that is what you have purchased.

No, they are under attack by eurocrats that dream of a uniform Europe under one central government. If the EU wants to do help Europe, it should become democratic (today, it isn't, the only democratically elected body of the EU is the parliament, but that "parliament" does not even have the power to propose new laws because their is no proper separation of powers) and actually live subsidiarity (a principle that is recognized on paper only).

According to http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/mercado/2017/12/1944853-energia... in the auctions at the end of 2017 (for new generators to be built) it was around R$ 145/MWh for solar and R$ 98/MWh for wind. I don't know where to find the cost for all currently operating generators.
There's already a lot of rights that countries can (and do) use to limit this, but for whatever reason the UK chose not to. We could have stopped/limited migration from the new EU members (for up to 7 years after they join), but chose not to. We could prosecute benefit fraud/welfare tourism, but choose not to. We could return EU migrants who don't work and can't support themselves, but choose not to.

I have no idea what the motive for not taking any of these actions is, but whatever it is it'd probably apply to any other delay or transition you could come up with - unless it was forced on the UK I guess.

I think one of the values that blockchain can bring on the table in this context is convenience.

Passing data to a thumb drive or a piece of paper is a decentralized strategy but inconvenient one.

I imagine in the future, the doctor in Brazil writes your medical data into his/her local computer. You ask the data and show the QR code or public address in your mobile phone. The doctor sends your data to this QR code or public address. You store this data into the blockchain.

Next year, you go to Singapore and do some medical operation. You pass the data from the blockchain via your mobile phone to the doctor in Singapore.

I guess that is the selling point.

Can this be done with centralized approach? Of course. We can build a Paypal company but for medical records. The problem with that is some countries are reluctant to share the medical data with American company. They, I assume, will trust the algorithm which does not have the bias compared to an American company.

Paypal right now is not supported in Iran. I imagine this is one of the reasons doctors around the world would trust the blockchain compared to an American startup company.

[Edited]
If we want to build a platform where Chinese and Americans can collaborate on sensitive data, blockchain could be the answer. You don't expect Chinese to trust an American startup company or vice versa.

This is my hypothesis.
I had hoped that this would be a catalog of concrete code examples of common or easy to make mistakes, along with concrete prescriptions for what to instead. Instead it turns out that it is mostly a long winded collection of opinions passed off as insights along with a few general principles that basically amount to good tests are good and bad tests are bad. Who reads this and is any wiser as to how to write valuable tests? Writing tests that add value is hard, is a skill that must be acquired. In my experience, most developers who have given up on testing have done so, because they’d been sold the false notion that testing is trivial and always adds value. What they’ve found instead is that testing is difficult (because they lack the skill), and that the tests they did write, were of questionable value. No wonder they gave up on it. What these people need is not another article talking in loose terms about the wonders and virtues of testing.

In David's case, maybe the fact that Michelangelo was able to carve it out of a fragile and partially sculpted block that at least two other great artists refused to use. It's an engineering feat at least as much as an artistic one.
In MATLAB I run in debugger mode very frequently, and it allows you to step inside functions, and query variables. When encapsulated within functions, it also allows variable assignment at the prompt. This is pretty useful when writing data munging or analysis scripts; in that case, the code in the editor is the running canonical copy, while the current running environment is exploratory in nature.

Doing that is ethical.

You have a choice here:

Sell on your positives

, or

Sell on their negatives.

Either works, but the positives have the advantage of not trash talking your way out of the space. Doing it better, with more features is competition. Nobody can fault you and your team for that. Talk it all up. That's what you are doing the work for. No harm, no foul.

Saying the other guys suck, as a primary selling point, is kind of dubious in that your real value is always expressed in their lack of value. Should they add a feature, or even just reframe their stuff to get a couple of bullet points, you are left in the position of your competition being able to define you. Bad juju.

Ideally your additional positives are compelling enough to get users to migrate as much as it is getting new users to pick your offering, new and unproven as it is.

Are those things true?

Say them. And the need for your check list ends up being a statement of security, like "yeah, we got all the basics you know and love right here, plus.... [insert it here.]"

Ever watch laundry soap companies go at it? They will never, ever mention the other guy. They will talk up their new and improved all day long.

They will also connect those things to needs and wants their potential customers have.

Do that. The check box list is just security. You got the core well covered, plus... Software is more than laundry soap, so making a list and comparing does make sense, but going negative about it really doesn't, in the longer term.
