Germany is, by all accounts, amazing. It's where my wife and I holiday and we've contemplated opening a B and B there a few years down the road. If I were coming to the EU fresh I'd be looking closely at Germany, Denmark, or the Netherlands.

I can't comment on Colombia though.

Oh, I get what you mean now. A system like you show is essentially debits/credits, yes. For a lot of the smaller accounting systems, they actually print the GL in the format you show where negative numbers are equivalent to credit and positive to debit. As long as you use the same accounts it should be equivalent.

>p.s. Accounting standards vary. I work with startups in the US (little to no standards).

That's true. Here in Norway, all financial statements are publicly available regardless of company size, so they have to adhere to NGAAP (or IFRS if they're big enough).

Corey Pein’s recent book is a good take down of SV’s narcissistic mythology, and shows how it has some surprising and disturbing roots.

There was also a thread here recently about how business culture values those who operate politically far more than it values those who are practical creators - how if you’re skilled at politics you can appear to achieve almost anything, even if you have no true useful skills.

Holmes was a kooky idiot scientifically, but a combination of huckster hubris, nrcissistic self-absorption, and political genius - greased by a comfortable upper class background - created a lucrative illusion of Cool Stuff In Progress.

She crashed and burned because there was absolutely no substance there. But if there had been some substance - not much, but just enough - she’d still be riding the PR wave and raking in the investor cash.

If someone like Holmes can become a billionaire by peddling nothing except lies and hope, what’s the real value of the software and tech industries if you take away the hype and money machines that surround them?

AI Winter – Addendum
You created a bit of a false dichotomy here. In practice a parliamentary body needs a mix of competencies, rather than a monoculture of law students turned political staffers turned politicians.

> We don't need a congress full of subject-matter experts. What we need are people who respect and can work effectively with subject-matter experts.

In practice, you need experts inside the tent. There is a trust gradient in politics, with a sharp drop-off for anyone "outside" of the party room.

Especially if one side picks up an issue and uses that expertise to bash the other side. In that situation their opponent can either beat a retreat (followed by triumphalism) or they can deny the expertise. Especially if you don't trust the motives of the experts.

This is less likely to happen if all sides are seeded with expertise.

Banning CFCs is the best example of this dynamic. Reagan didn't understand the problem and it went against his policy instincts. But without the USA's involvement, any ban was pointless.

It was Thatcher -- someone nearby on the trust gradient, with a background in chemistry -- who convinced Reagan that it was a real problem. He still didn't understand it, but he had a trusted source to rely on.

There's a middle ground somewhere around 'not re-downloading updates every time they fail' and 'not disguising Minecraft as a security update'. A lot of the annoyance at the updates is with how frustrating the implementation is.

I have some customers with repositories on Bitbucket. The reason is the pricing model for private projects.

On Bitbucket you pay for developer and have infinite private projects.

If one company has many projects and few developers, Bitbucket is cheaper.

I also have small customers who don't even know what a repository is. I self host with gitolite (I don't need a web interface, only push and pull) and give access to the most illuminated of them to a self hosted Redmine server for managing tickets. I write documentation in Redmine's wikis.
Yes. The photons from the sun get uniformly emitted at the same speed in all directions (assuming spherical cows). Since there aren't any photons lost or gained the amount of energy at a certain distance from the origin must always be the same.
Some jobs deserve to end. - like insurance sales jobs and ceo's, medical billing, and excessive military jobs that we don't really need. What value does insurance really have? It's a glorified red-tape filled billing system. All it does it take money, split it up to pay employees, and then give like maybe 40% to the actual doctors and hospitals providing the services (made up #, no idea what they really get) -- but then the hospital employees hundreds of medical billers to work w/ the insurance agencies and negotiate rates and procedures and get paid as much as they can.

One reason GBI/universal healthcare would be beneficial is because then we can have a reason to end useless jobs that we don't really need to have, and eventually (hopefully) we have post-scarcity, low-employment, and high-enjoyment because AI/Robots do the work, and we all live in varying degrees of middle-to-upper class life. Maybe we spend 18 hours per week working (the same as during the middle ages), and the rest of our lives we actually live.

The rich can still be uber rich and live in mansions and fly on their jets, but lets fill the millions of vacant homes, and make sure everyone has a home, basic comforts, and food.

Life is precious, we don't get much time. We spend 10 full years out of 90 working -- that's if you add up all the hours and divide by days/years.

Then you sleep 8 hours per day. That's 1/3rd of the day. 30 years of life gone to sleep. Now we're at 40 years gone -- 40 years that we do not get to keep at all for ourselves.. This is a middle-ages life-time. They only got 40 years total, and we waste all of that.

There's tons of other stuff we waste time on with school, eating, restroom, commuting to work, etc... That might add up to 10 more years. This means you may get 40% of your life --to claim for yourselves, this is ONLY if you don't have to ever work more than one job, and ONLY if you never ever work overtime or more than 40 hours per week.

If you work on side projects or moonlight projects, it's more fun and rewarding but you're also losing time spent with family and loved ones, or enjoying life.

This keeps me up at night, knowing I could die at any time, and never really have lived because of all the things I have to do just to make sure I make it through next month - financially.

I'm a freelance developer, but have months where I do really well, and others where I'm on the verge of losing everything, because my pipeline dries up. I'm hoping I can even it out, and make it work, because when it works the stress is so much less than commuting to a corporation.
> I don't understand why this would excuse anything

I don't see it as an excuse, just as an observation of reality. Journalists can be misled by their sources. They may misinterpret data or make mistakes. They can have ulterior motives, or they may see the world through different glasses than you/me (e.g. conservative/liberal oriented news outlets). They may be pressured by deadlines to put out subpar quality material. There's noise amplification and echo chambers due to the role of social media. There are many reasons average journalism today might not be up to some standards.

The way I tend to think of it is: trust but verify. Some things matter directly to my personal life and it's in my personal interest to verify that I have the correct information about them. Why then, should I trust the (possibly exaggerated) interpretation from some WSJ journalist on some recent research paper rather than doing my own homework?

News about Theranos at this point, for example, is not one of those things that directly affect me or my family, and the accuracy and outrage of this story is of only mild entertainment value to me. Recognizing that, I can choose to consume news about it with the implicit understanding that I'm probably getting sensationalized editorials with no more value to me than a random hollywood movie, and not some data source that I should be investigating.
That's a very contemporary development. Open source was originally hobbyist, research or academic.

Often, it was "programmer solve thyself".

Radare, in my opinion, is mostly lacking on the user-experience sides. IDA is easier to pick-up and use. Also, I feel Radare's decompilers don't fare as-well as Hex-Rays. I equate this to Windbg - your best Windows debugger, which unfortunately is relatively tough to pick up (I'd argue, mostly due to poor UI choices). Forgoing that, Radare is absolutely packing.

I've moved on to reverse most of my projects with Radare. I'm still missing a handful of small features/plugins from IDA, but it's not a big issue.

Slides that design themselves – Developers of the world’s first technology of its kind, Beautiful.AI knows the rules of great design and applies heuristic techniques to build beautiful slides that respond to content in real-time, automatically adjusting the layout as needed to ensure visually stunning and consistent results.

Animations - Animations make storytelling more effective, but they’re difficult to build, so most people don’t bother trying. With Beautiful.AI, animations are automatically applied to the work in a meaningful and impactful way.

Less Is More - Great design requires restraint, and with presentations, less is definitely more. By constraining the amount of content on each slide, Beautiful.AI leaves room for stunning imagery that boosts message impact and keeps the audience engaged.

Images Matter – Beautiful.AI offers a rich assortment of royalty-free images, icons and logos readily available and searchable for users. This keeps slides visually consistent and helps users stay focused on content creation without having to open new tabs; search the web; or resize, cut or paste images.
As a 20 year 10ish p.y. international business traveller I can tell you confidently all of us prefer the 380 to most other choices for 10+ hr flights.

The 350 is a fine plane. The 777 is as noisy as all hell. The 787 is conditionally good, depending on class and who operates.

Sure, we love the 747 but please, don't pretend the 380 isn't the craft of choice in longhaul.

Yes, that's true when talking about causes of a wealth gap, but this thread was about effects.

A growing absolute wealth gap can still lead to reduced quality of life for lower-wealth groups - e.g. because prices rise faster than their incomes and so they effectively lose access to certain goods. It will also increase inequality and makes other economic measures (that rely on the mean) less reliable.

Just because an effect is always present, doesn't mean you can ignore it, especially if doing so would flip the conclusion. Posting the elephant graph as an argument that all is going well would do exactly that.
Very impressive demo! As a management consultant who has spent plenty of time in macro-enhanced PowerPoint, I think this looks excellent. Too much high-wage time is wasted (either directly or instructing PowerPoint shops) on silly little things like aligning and coloring.

Will watch future development with interest!
"You mean WebKit, which originated in KDE and then forked by Apple? It's not really Google's engine ;-)"

Google has since replaced WebKit with Blink in Chrom(e|ium), and the projects based on Chromium have been following suit. Even Qt is switching from QtWebKit to QtWebEngine, which is Blink-based.

Granted, Blink is a fork of at least some of WebKit, but still.

> The media, though, never paid enough attention (or was possibly subverted by Theranos itself) to the naysayers.

Part of the problem, I think, is that the public loves (and wants to believe) the narrative of the lone genius who solves a problem against all the odds, and against all the people who told them they could not do it.
Refraining from being horrible is not the same thing as doing something good.
none of that makes any sense. c#, f#, and vb.net all target .NET (and thus the CLR) and are interoperable. they are also cross-platform with .NET core.

and saying “most open source modern OO languages ... target the JVM” is not accurate. if you mean modern OO JVM languages, then yea, of course, but that is satisfied analogously by the .NET languages.

the c# and f# compilers, .NET core (libraries and framework), and core CLR (the runtime) are all open source and cross-platform. there isn’t anything closed about it. i don’t know what you mean by “closed microsoft bubble of open source”.

why do the .NET languages need LLVM or JVM implementations to be useful? again, that doesn’t make sense.

Reading this article, the first thing I wondered was, what does Australia have in terms of peaking power plants, which can come online—and, just as important, safely go offline—quickly to stabilize grid voltage?

The second thing I was wondering is, where are the bitcoin miners? Assuming electricity prices are not being held artificially high, then when they start to come down, miners will start coming in.

In fact, I could envision a two-tier pricing model, similar to what is used for EV charging. Combine that with something like Zellweger ripple signaling, and the grid would have a way to tell miners (et al) “Hey, we have excess, were reducing the rate so start mining!”

> Fusion 360 is free for hobbiests. Not just students.

Fusion is a whole other ball of wax. I was referring to the rest of the Autodesk suite. You can certainly find cracked versions of whatever, but (ab)using the student licensing will at least be some insurance against malware.

The way I look at it (and I'm obviously not a representative of Autodesk in any way, shape, or form): if it's making you money, pay for it. If it's not, don't. If you pirate it to learn how to use it, that's one thing. If you wanted to start selling whatever you're designing that would be the time to pay.

Autodesk, like Adobe, is making a huge push towards subscription licensing. I detest that stuff, but it's at least less of a hit initially unlike IDA.
