Ah makes sense now. I thought you were referring to losing money on poor performance of the underlying stock between offer and exercise. "Private account" just meant buying put options in an account you control versus something like employer payroll deductions in an ESPP.
It wasn’t a 95% drop in male population. The population expanded rapidly but which men reproduced was very lopsided. Some men left no descendants because their folk didn’t stop hunter gathering and were eventually killed or starved. Some left many, kings and warlords. In between were everyone else.
I don't think it matters whether few or many cops or agents are bad.

The source of harm is the forfeiture law.

With such laws in place, even a single bad actor can do enormous damage. We need to repeal the civil forfeiture laws.
I recently had to do the forced April Windows 10 update, and not only did it take 10 hours, the UX was horrific... e.g. Random CMD prompt windows popping up etc.

If that is allowed to pass QA in Microsoft, then it kind of scares me what can happen if they were to acquire GitHub.

I use mostly Apple products, for 25 years, but I would not want Apple to own GitHub.

Microsoft has always been a developer-tools company. They are many other things besides, and I have had some nasty experiences with their sales reps (who would say anything to close a deal), but I have always felt that at its core, Microsoft is a developer-driven organization.

Apple likes developers too. They taste like chicken. And a cloud-based developer institution would let Apple destroy two populations - cloud operations and developers - with one asteroid.
They made a lot of money, but were not successful. Business software companies become irrelevant decades before their revenues go away (eg IBM). Microsoft lost its future relevance under Ballmer.
The UK has been dealing with terrorist attacks for a long time, London especially so. And it is foolish to suggest that the government takes no measures to prevent it. They take appropriate measures to prevent many attacks and to reduce the likelihood of others, but it is impossible to stop all of them.
“Nvidia’s Next Generation Mainstream GPU” Preso Briefly Listed for Hot Chips
Mostly because of the historical way the business model worked - the portion of your bill that varies based on energy usage is all out of proportion to the portion of the cost to the energy company that comes from varies based on energy usage. Basically, the electric companies' business model is like the cell phone companies' - build infrastructure, charge by usage - which means that low-cost energy sources, especially out of PG&E's control, are disastrous for their business model. It's a serious problem I've heard a lot of talk about in renewable energy policy circles, and the generally accepted idea of a functional market structure in this new world is to have a grid company, which charges only that distribution fee, and a generation company, which charges you for the cost of generation.

But we're not there yet, so PG&E needs to find ways to not lose money on the grid hookup for customers who buy cheap forms of energy (or are, godforbid, energy-neutral with relation to the grid).
Yeah, I agree. I would immediately delete my github account if this happened. I don't buy that MS has seen the light and is a different company now. In the last 2 weeks, 3 people have told me their Windows 10 install updated itself and was completely borked. At least one of these people are going out and buying a new Windows machine as a result (thus giving MS a little more revenue). It absolutely disgusts me.
Which business schools are those?

you should check out geodakyan's theories:

https://web.archive.org/web/20170213235609/https://en.wikipe...

(wiki was inexplicably deleted recently, i suspect for political reasons via rules lawyering)

> Geodakyan suggested that sex dimorphism gives a species the benefit of having two functional partitions, or subsystems. The male sex is considered an operative, variation subsystem, while the female sex is a conservative one. Sex differentiation allows a species to use the male partition to try out various genetic changes, including parasitic and cooperative co-existence for possible inter-species co-evolution and expansion of ecological niches. In Geodakyan's terms, species use males as an experimental partition of sex and use another partition (female) to maintain the features of the species that were proven to be beneficial.
Correct.

If you pay off your card every month, the credit card companies consider you to be a bad investment, and they even have names to describe customers like you -- "deadbeat", among others.
This is misleading, as:

- you're including interest for the new car but not the old

- you're ignoring the residual values of the cars at the end of the 5/10/15 year periods

Interesting. I think it would be even easier to see whether the article is lying or not. Just go to India, visit many different regions and have a look what the shops and restaurants frequented by locals sell.

In my opinion, there is no point in avoiding meat without giving up dairy. With "the whole holy cow thing" I meant that, as far as I know, in one (?) religion that is common in India (Hinduism?), cows are considered sacred animals. Because of that, followers of that religion don't eat them. And in some branches of Buddhism, harming any living being is a no go. I could have gotten all this totally wrong. I didn't even take the time to read up on it right now. I'm not all that interested in religion, barely know anything about Catholicism even though that's the crazy I've been baptized in/on/with/whatever. I exited that club way too late, regrettably, but at least I'm not giving money to child molesters any more.

Sorry, rambling. Back to cows: So eating them is bad, but somehow, perma-raping cows and making them sad by taking their babies away is totally cool. Maybe that not-as-bad-as-in-'murica milk production method avoids this bad karma. That would be great. Regardless of that though, I believe dairy is not healthy at all for adult humans. Cow milk is for cow babies. If you are reading this, you are not a cow baby.

I would argue "because I want to" should be enough reason.

That aside, the reasons are quite clear from the article:

"In an interview translated by his son, Kazazi said safety concerns prompted him to take cash on his trip, rather than wire the funds to a local bank.

“The crime [in Albania] is much worse than it is here,” he said. “Other people that have made large withdrawals [from Albanian banks] have had people intercept them and take their money. The exchange rates and fees are [also] excessive.”

Albanian contractors often prefer dollars and euros over the local currency, Kazazi said. For those reasons, he said, many expatriates who return to visit Albania bring large amounts of cash with them."

Folks from nations with fully functional banking and money systems don't understand this argument because they cannot envision what it means.

One potential way to think about this is to just replace cash in this situation with your favorite payment system - payment, debit & credit card and Apple / Samsung payment watch - whatever and imagine that you are in a world where i) cash does ALL the things that these systems do for you ii) these systems can, for some reason, easily have your money withdrawn from them and iii) for some reason, you get a huge discount for using cash instead of other payment systems (think the way you get cashback or purchase points from some cards)...

in this world, hard cash, especially US currency that comes with even more discount and flexibility benefits is worth the effort

but, all that aside, "because I want to" should be enough reason
Precisely the opposite. The issue is that this distorted cost structure really doesn't work in a market where there's cost competition on the generation side and customers are being exposed to that competition, as PG&E's cost doesn't go down by nearly as much as customer's bills when cheaper energy sources are used.

Their distortion of public policy through lobbying is a bad thing, but their incentives are actually pretty understandable given the wacko market structure.

I loved my nexus-7, and the 2nd gen nexus-7 even more. Inexpensive, pure android, decent hardware spec, and a usefully larger display than a phone.

Anyone know of a current table that avoids the adware, crapware, and 3d contact managers where each card flies around in 3D? I just want android with the current security updates and 7-9" display.
Yours is not the only organization that isn't worried about long-term evaluation
Absolutely. The supervisors and chiefs of the cops who murder, steal, or otherwise break the law should indeed also be held accountable. But so should the actual perpetrators. Because in many of these cases, it is actually the low level cops who decide to commit crimes without any outside influence. Theft like this probably does go all the way to the top, but when cops murder unarmed, innocent people who are no threat to them, that's more on the cop committing the murder more than anyone up high.
You're assuming CPM ads. I assume sponsorship tie-ins, affiliates, promos, etc. is where the real money is at, which you can negotiate directly for at that scale.
They can in the temporal sense, the tree isn't tracked by software but it still originates that way. As the first account root creates the second and may decide to delegate other permissions. Given sufficient permission that account may too decide to create others and so on. If root rescinds permissions its not recursive which I think is what you are getting at.
And how would they verify it?

The value that designer arylcyclohexylamines (3-MeO-PCP, 4-HO-PCP, 3-MeO-PCE, 4-HO-PCE, O-PCE, deschloroketamine, and 2F-deschloroketamine) have added to my life is immeasurable in terms of challenging my preconceptions on reality, the reliability of my senses, and the possibilities of my mind.

Tryptamines, phenethylamines, and lysergamides, on the other hand, do very little for me, even at extremely high doses.

I prefer using the [United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations](http://www.unece.org/cefact/locode/service/location.html) (UN/LOCODE) value based on the address of the host's data center. It covers more specific locations than something like the IATA airport codes, and is still a well defined standard.
I hate civil forfeiture as much as the next guy, but the story of a guy from Albania carrying all his family's "life savings", including his adult son's savings (why would he give his father his life savings?), in amount of ~60k USD back to Albania because "bank wire was too risky" sounds like a cover up lie.
What's more believable is that bank wire was too risky because you need to declare where the money is coming from when you send them and when you receive them, and also probably pay taxes. It just looks like a simple money laundering operation.

Because enforcing it within a reasonably sized organization is still a tall problem. I can't even be trusted to follow my own style preferences from time to time. All it takes is one rogue new employee who doesn't know better and now we have to rehash the same arguments again to teach them a lesson - and the lesson is rarely "this other way is better", it usually boils down to "just do it our way and shut up about it".

You believe terrorist attacks are deserved as a result of what your government has done in the past?

Which is it? Your government is taking measures to assure your protection, or is actively provoking foreigners to kill you on your own soil?

Just because there is a lot of green energy doesn't mean that everything is peachy. California also does a fair amount of importing as well during parts of the day with low solar. Also, just because you have solar doesn't mean everything is ok. The grid dispatcher in California (CAISO) has to make sure reliable power is available 24/7 for consumers and industry. This can be very challenging due to solar which is behind the meter (makes it difficult to forecast load) and can disappear quickly leaving you in a lurch. Vox has a pretty good video on YouTube on the infamous "duck curve" that you should watch. Essentially, you have a ton of behind the meter solar during the midday that suddenly disappears during the end of the day. It is difficult to forecast for this. You have to have other non-renewable baseload (gas, nuclear, coal, or maybe renewable like hydro)online to take the place of solar when it goes away....you're essentially paying for reliability in that case. Battery storage would work too in place of fossil fuels, but you would need a LOT of it, and we're not quite there.

The economic dispatch that CAISO runs optimizes for the cheapest dispatch to meet load and reserves like the other north American grid operators like ERCOT, PJM...etc. That is essentially the market driving things along with CPUC decisions. If you're unhappy with how California is treating renewables know that California is on the bleeding edge in this area where more has changed in the past 10 years than the previous 80.

So I actually opened Keen's book - and it's more damning than I remembered. He quotes evidence that two major proponents of EMH - Sharpe and Fama - have made very critical comments as to its (EMH) empirical validity.

Isn't it also ironic that you criticize the book as being pop-sci by perusing Wikipedia? You know, in both cases, being pop-sci doesn't imply being wrong.
Thank you for that link, very interesting! For some reason it hasn't occurred to me to Google the guy who Pollan admires so much in the book.
I disagree and I strongly discourage you from shooting people. There is still a large portion of the public who don't know what civil forfeiture is or why it's a bad thing. If you want to make a difference the best thing you can do right is educate people.

Most often, "machine learning" refers specifically to supervised learning. Generally, such technology requires an historic set of examples of sufficient volume and quality (what this means varies greatly from problem to problem) from which to learn. Some problems do not come with a reasonable set of training data, and none is forthcoming: these situations are a poor choice for machine learning. Each of these factors makes example data less desirable: candidate explanatory variables which are few in number or highly redundant, missing values and poor measurement. All of the challenges one faces in traditional statistical data collection and sampling apply.

Some problems are not learning problems at all. Retail companies with poor management and consequent poor service, for instance, need machine learning less than they need competent management.
