I used a multiplier that was calculated using the date, a static secret, and a seed hashed from the sku. So it was consistent but the offset was different product to product. So that even if you manually went in and figured out the offset for a specific product you couldn't just offset all scraped prices.

But once they lose a bunch of money the first time, they tend to stop trying. We tracked down one competitor that was mirroring our prices on an hourly basis. So we waited until late at night, tanked our price on a few expensive items, then placed orders on the competitors site.

The human touch tends to scare off scrapers faster than a technological fence anyway.

Somehow the nature of the content back then was much more engaging too. It was as raw as seeing a new band perform for the first time in some dive bar. Now it is just a sanitised pool of sophisticated marketing brochures masquerading as articles.

Morally, as a single 30-something with no children, it seems preferable to pay the IRS fine than to purchase health insurance. Paying the IRS means there's a chance some of my money will go towards roads or schools or another beneficial cause. While if I buy the absurd amount of health insurance required by law - enough to insure a family of 5 - I'd only be lining the pockets of insurance executives.

> but except the titlebar MacOs classic look flat to me

Classic MacOS didn't have the gratuitous visual noise you may be used to from the Windows Vista school of design or even the Windows 95 faux 3D borders on everything, but it's hardly flat, except for the stuff that you actually can't interact with. And that's the stuff that is supposed to be flat looking. The button outlines in classic MacOS are always obvious, even when they're only a single pixel thick, and things that aren't buttons never look like buttons.

Thanks a lot, a very interesting read. I agree with you, affordance is a problem as different generations use different tools.

There is also a cultural aspect to it. Recently, I had to find icons to represent the concepts numerical minimum and maximum. This was hard, and not just because the space was limited. I settled on Chevrons (like v ^ ) while fully aware it was not standard.

It is just a way of setting a convention, and hoping your users will catch up to it.

Very interesting. But I wonder if that takes into account the time value of money. If you saved that health care money up front, it could balloon to a lot more in the years leading up to what would have been an earlier death of the smoker.

And that also assumes we won't get better at treating and prolonging life for things like lung cancer.

I want to introduce a credit specialist named TRUST REPAIR, I must confess he has made life better and easier for me. My name is Carrick and I found out that some credit repair companies online can barely remove a negative and raise credit score, I’m saying this because I have been ripped off severally and that was really a faulty experience. I wanted to purchase a house for me and my family however, I wasn't qualified as a result of a poor credit profile. I was so troubled and frustrated, one evening I came across a particular hacker who was spoken of everywhere on social media and on different credit sites and I emailed him. We reached an agreement and after series of interrogations he started the job. Within 2 weeks TRUST REPAIR came through, he erased the negatives and raised my score to a high 700’s. I strongly recommend him, contact him via email TRUSTREPAIRSERVICE@WORKMAIL.COM or text him on his direct number +1 407 917 2120 he will definitely put a smile on your face.

By "research", I meant it in the context of this discussion : "internal incubator" style R&D to try to spawn a brand new line of products totally outside of the current business line.

Ex: tablets for Microsoft in 1994. Google driving cars.
And the prevailing reason for that prop (and the reason it passed) was to keep from pricing the elderly out of their homes. Not "starving the beast".
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you cannot (yet) do so on the iOS without a native app. This is why developers ask you to install their native apps.

He's probably referring to tests that don't significantly affect the probability of a successful mission. I don't know anything about how Boeing does this. But I can imagine a contractor going another route where they offer to come up with a new technology and then make the customer pay for all of the testing.

I won't pretend to have studied this at any depth, but my possibly overconfident intuition is that it can be either an outright conspiracy or an unspoken understanding of not stepping on each others toes.

It doesn't matter much; you don't have to be a genius CEO to see what is in both companies interest, conspiracy or not.

The more companies are added to the mix, the less stable the truce becomes, and somewhere around 4-5 I think ruthless competition is empirically the norm.

That's interesting. I hadn't considering the cultural aspect in the context of icons. It's often a frame of reference when color is being decided, but icons—that's a good one. Thanks for expanding my brain here.

Labor costs dominate healthcare.

Doctors and nurses are very popular. No one wins elections saying “hey, let’s pay healthcare providers half as much, like they do in other developed countries”. But that’s my understanding of what it would take to actually move the needle on US health care costs.

To what extent do plugins exist for mobile? My understanding is that on iOS there are Share Extensions and Action Extensions for Safari, but these have to me manually triggered on every page where you want them to run.

On Android, Firefox supports addons (but practically no one knows they exist) and Chrome doesn't have extensions.

Are there other options? I hope I'm wrong here since it would be great to have browser plugins on mobile!
Whether or not NASA (and by extension Boeing) can afford to lose a mission isn't dependent on how much it costs but on public relations and legislation.

Money has diminishing returns when it comes to mission success rates. A common ballpark example I've heard from JPL PMs: you can spend $500 million on one launch with a 95% chance of putting one satellite in orbit - or - you could spend $250 million per launch on two launches, each with a 80% chance of putting up one satellite. The probability of getting at least one satellite in orbit with the latter scenario is ~96%, higher than than the $500mil/launch option, with an 80% chance of saving 25-75% of the budget for the second launch (depending on scheduling and staff retention costs for that mission).

The problem with the latter option is that the public is swayed more by the absolute number of failures rather than the percentage, especially since NASA's missions usually draw a lot of global publicity. This kind of public pressure effects legislators and eventually starts changing the "cost-benefit" analysis agencies like NASA do until they're chosing the one launch option every time.

The SLS is inseparable as a project from NASA as far as the public is concerned. Even though SpaceX is also heavily funded by NASA historically, Musk's cult of personality has largely saved them from feeling the kind of public pressure NASA has had to deal with in their usual missions. That ability to experiment without PR consequences is invaluable but we'll have to see whether their failure rate is big enough to scare away NASA for manned missions.
How do you associate a token holder with an actual person or organization?

Is there a method for doing this built into the protocol, or would that be a responsibility for the implementer?

I agree that transparency could be a great benefit of this technology, but if a "wealthy token holder" can create several puppet accounts with their own tokens, throwing a vote can be made to look "organic". Does DIRT do anything to prevent this?

Sometimes you just have to. In one previous company, the "system" we were trying to trash was an unmaintainable VBA CRM homegrown mess which was creating lots of internal issues in the company due to the nature of spreadsheets. It took almost a year to replace but it was 100% worth it.

I had noticed that he did interview Elon then, with the cool near-the-rocket background. I also noticed that several other journalists interviewed musk from that same overview sight.

For those interested, some of the underlying libraries that make up Docker for Mac (and, I think, Windows) are written in OCaml (or have components written in OCaml): VPNKit[0], DataKit[1] and HyperKit[2] (qcow2 support is implemented in OCaml).

> So if data from company A costs the ISP more that the same quantity of data from company B to get a hold of,

Expand that hypothetical a bit more, so that we can determine if the situation you're asking about is one that ever happens in the real world. Are you asking about traffic imbalances at peering points? If so, the agreements in those cases are between ISPs and do not include end users like Netflix as a party to the negotiations or payments. The primary purpose of an ISP is to ensure that their subscribers don't have to worry about whose lines their packets might travel on to get to their destination.
Fascinating.

Homo erectus was extant 1.8 to 0.1 million years ago. Homo sapiens sapiens speciated roughly 200-300k years ago. Sustained archaic admixture is known to have taken place both in Africa and Eurasia between about 100k to 30k years ago; until merely one or two thousand generations ago!

So what you are saying that 1) people like you, with your political ideas, should be welcome, but 2) people unlike you, with their own different political ideas, shoud be excluded?

All in the name of tolerance, you would like to exclude the likes of me?

Then I'm happy you are not coming! There are far too many SJW in free software anyway. I didn't use to have any problem with them, until they started to try to make me feel unwelcome, and definiting which opinion was acceptable, which was not. I don't like that.

It reminds me of how it was it school. Free software has been a "refuge" for me, away from the political shenanigans of the cool kids. I'd rather avoid importing the studpid conflicts of people with an agenda.
How, and why is it easier to exchange BTC for Bolivars, then Paypal dollars for Bolivars?
That is not at all the nature of all predictive discussion. Handwaves suit for a seed round, for example. But when you're looking for an A or a B round, you need significant evidence for your forward-looking statements. Bitcoin is years past the point where it deserves to get away with handwaves.

Also, "people use cryptocurrency for value transfer" is not a forward-looking statement. It's a statement of what people do now. And this comes out of you saying, "blockchains are useful now".
Firefox on mobile does this too. Can't live without it on my phone.
can't imagine it's easy to exchange bitcoins to bolivars, though I may be wrong if course
These are not bots.

I've encountered many people complaining that Twitter thought they were a bot. Sometimes that was that, The End. Sometimes there was a demand for "real world" identification, like a phone number, which got refused because people like their privacy.

The common feature seems to be following or retweeting political users toward the right, and using hashtags associated with that. Do that exclusively, and twitter will assume you are a bot. The same does not seem to apply if you are on the other side of the political spectrum.

I think Twitter is well aware of this, and they consider it an intended result, but they can't just publicly admit it.
thank you, This is not for me I'm just helping somebody in Venezuela
(Yes, I'm still working on effortless)
I'm sorry, but I think there's still something that your analysis is missing with respect to taking inflation into account. Either that, or we're talking past each other in some way.

Today's hypothetical 18 year old doesn't want $10 million as a nominal amount. He wants 10 million present day dollars worth of value. In 45 years, this might be something closer to $25 million (as measured in 2063 dollars). That's actually a difference that you need to consider.

Using your numbers of somebody who saves $50k per year and gets 6% annual returns, and assuming that their wage and savings increases with inflation, he'll end up with about $15MM. Certainly no small chunk of change, but equivalent today to about $6MM. Enough to retire comfortably and leave a legacy, but not a staggering sum.

Also, the taxes do matter. Marginal changes in your post-tax rate of return have compounding effects due to the long investment timeline. Getting an effective annual return of 5% instead of 6% shaves off almost a full third from the final amount.

Also, if the taxes didn't matter, the government wouldn't bother collecting them =P
Where's the first amendment come in to any of this? It sounds like you're trying to refer to first amendment rights of the ISP, but I don't see where that is at all relevant to their business of forwarding my packets. There's no speech on the part of the ISP to be restricted there, and forwarding my packets is in no way analogous to the ISP publishing anything. ISPs are extremely keen to make sure that their subscriber's data transmissions are never regarded as speech/publishing by the ISP itself, because of things like copyright infringement liability.
I'm willing to believe that's currently true, but that doesn't strike me as much of a moat for XML.
