Beyond that the government only accepts fiat for tax payments, tax payments are denominated in it. It’s a small distinction but an important one, as swings in the value of the bartering asset you’ve been trading with as we see today can put you massively behind on your tax payments.
Honest question — why is it horrendous? It's cheap, reasonably capable, can be easily coaxed into doing most of what a person might want, and has enough adoption that advice and code is easy to find. I'm sure you mean horrendous in some more technical sense, but I've found it nothing if not practical. Please teach me.

This is like Zuck’s infamous VR tour of hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico, but worse because Zuck for all his faults does not maintain a public image as an enlightened tech guru.

On the plus side, a big part of spiritual practice involves taming the ego. So hopefully Dorsey will learn something from this and emerge as a better leader.
>>The results showed that 36.2 percent of respondents supported an independent Taiwan, while 26.1 percent favored unifying with China and 23.2 percent supported maintaining the “status quo” in cross-strait relations.

So almost half already support either unification or status quo. Unite with Motherland and keep the status quo (a lie but most will buy it).

Add a few decades of "economic unification," tens of billions spent on propaganda and China will receive the island's key. Once that's done, go ahead, undo it.

What do you mean by "won't be compatible with modern routers"? Are you referring to the 802.11g? These devices had an ethernet port, IIRC. I'm sure I remember plugging mine into my network and not using its built-in wifi.
The primary users of these codes are places where politics prevent addresses from being assigned (government doesn't want to admit people live there). The codes give them a real address that your phone can navigate to, and for them it's working just fine.

Maybe it is an issue but goes underreported? Prions related diseases were historically easy to misdiagnose because they can present in so many different ways. I'm sure medical science has caught up in 1st world countries but maybe lags elsewhere?
The trick is to maintain your job during the recessions and keep investing. Easier said than done, but if you do succeed, you'll be in very good shape when the market bounces back during the next cycle.
The question is how much, if any, of that price is derive from actual market activity and not scams like front running, tape painting, spoofing and just plain tether. If people actually tried to move any serious amount of it out it might just fall down on itself, that number may not be real.
I would watch Youtube a lot more if the ads did not interrupt the video in the worst places.

I mean, there are places where there is a scene transition and they are perfect for an ad. And there's the middle of an interesting explanation you don't want to interrupt.

Youtube ads always interrupt the flow of the video. In many cases that makes me close the player and do something else.

And many channels already have ads as part of their normal content.

It seems Youtube has the content, but the huge and obnoxious amount of ads reminds me of old fashioned TV.
In addition to the other features mentioned, I believe AirPlay 2 supports more media formats and more precise control over playback, and more metadata about the media playing.

Target Process is worse for agile. It is at once too flexible and too rigid. For someone who doesn't take the time to learn the tool, they end up with frustrating and not very useful defaults. For someone who does, you run into limitations like your backlog is always on the left or top because it won't let you move it around. It also ends up that as a power user you end up with a wildly different view from what everyone else sees, which causes additional problems.

Having a few extra levels of issue types in jira would be nice, but if you treat epics like TP features, you can use portfolio to add however many layers the PM and management team want on top.

Thats exactly what I used. Highly recommend AirConnect.
Random people matched into an even game - that has a value. People benefit, but it doesn't belong to anybody, it's public.

Smurfing and boosting are kind of similar (boosting does twice as much damage: account goes up, then it falls down). Smurfing sometimes causes damage for fun, boosting causes damage for money.

"Damage for fun" is relative. Maybe it is a part of the game.

But "damage for money" means that it's an open system now, and some people have jobs to damage the matchmaking.
It no longer supports the original Airport Express, the one that can be had on Craigslist for $10.
Quota and Stack Exchange fail me in a particularly noticeable way. A few years ago I decided to really learn Java, I think this was around Java 7 time frame. I’ve programmed now for over 50 years, so naturally I knew Java well enough to read most of it even though I’d never developed with it.

This is where Quora and Stack Exchange seem like they would be very useful for answering questions about say type erasure or why my Eclipse configuration was giving me problems. What I discovered was that because of the almost universal use of Java by universities, the answers to every basic Java question were all over the place. So many questions, so many answers of questionable quality. It was like strolling thought a College stopping random students and asking them for help with Java. Somewhere, there is that really bright CS student providing good advice, the problem is finding him.

For just slightly more difficult Java questions (like “what does this Hibernate error message mean”) there might be no answers. Apparently, not to many students are using Hibernate.

Anyway despite having to take Java related answers with a grain of salt, Stack Exchange (and spin-offs) have been great for answering so many of my questions (LaTeX is actually fun to use because of Stack LaTeX Exchange).

A similar issue I have is with the clawbacks themselves. Should the people who didn't have suspicions and/or didn't act on them have the same outcome as those who got out early?

Doesn't this perversely incentivize leaving money in questionable investments? Or at least reduce the incentive to do one's own due diligence?

The more people who pull their money, the faster a pyramid scheme collapses. So even a marginal change in the number of withdrawals can make or break such a scheme.
I watch a fair bit of YouTube personal interest stuff (Magic: the Gathering and Chess channels). Same to a lesser extent with Twitch. I realised while reading this that I don't think I've ever sat down and watched YouTube with my wife. I watch a lot of Netflix stuff with my wife, and it's the only video platform I let my kids have access to. Beyond that, I torrent stuff generously.

In my head, I'd probably reflexively claim that I'd never pay for YouTube, but then I'd realise I'm paying almost as much on Patreon to _one_ video creator as I am to Netflix each month.

I must admit I've managed to get to this point without ever really thinking these things competed - YouTube is quite personal, Netflix is good for family, and you have to torrent if you want to watch anything new.
Yes, they have an ethernet port, but the goal of such a device (for me, where I don't have ethernet running to my speakers) is to stream music over wifi.
The article said they interviewed people with at least $1 million net worth but $1 million net worth isn't really rich is it? In SF you might be able to afford a 1 bedroom studio apartment. I'm guessing the same is true in NYC, London, much of Los Angeles, Tokyo.

Sure, with $1 million maybe you could retire in Cambodia but for most 1st world people $1 million is not enough be able to stop working for someone else and do what you want.

I guess that'S my definition of rich. It would basically be, can I afford to have say a 3-4 bedroom apartment or house for a family of 4, be able to travel 2 or 3 times a year, and not have to go to work for someone else if I don't want to. I'm not saying want to do nothing. I am saying to me "rich" equals enough money to have no more income for the rest of your life and still live like you're making enough to support a family of 4 without having to pinch pennies.

I'm confident $1million is not even close enough to be able to do that in most 1st world countries.
based on all the twitter banning of right wing thinkers. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Swartz isnt exempt just because you like him. When it was allowed for twitter to silence people from their platform ,for host companies to take down sites the flood gates are now opened.

I'm not sure what your music provider is but I pay for Google Play precisely because it includes a completely ad-free YouTube experience. Combine that with my smart TV and I basically just flip back and forth between YouTube and Netflix when I am watching TV. Some of the longer form YouTube content is great on a large television.

Gold has been more stable in real value that pretty much anything else over the last 6000 years. Land being the only comparable asset I can think of. Way more stable than paper or crypto money. You shouldn't store your wealth in it because it's kind of stable while income producing assets make money.

What investors want.

I can't see the majority of investors going for a fund headed by a woman over a man. That puts a hard limit on how far they can rise within the organisation.

To be clear I'm not saying its a conscious choice, just that if presented with 2 identical funds, investors will gravitate to the male led one.

I wonder how passive investing will change this though. As the humans increasingly become salesmen rather than actually investing money, will gender become less important?

There are several other ways color rendering can be measured, but the ones used in the lighting industry tend to be based on comparing the rendering of specific samples much like CRI. One that's seeing a lot of use lately is IES TM-30, which is based on a much larger number of samples and includes a measurement of color gamut as well as fidelity.
Wouldn’t that type of job make you really cynical about every other comment you read online? If your posts are hidden ads then what about the others?

There is a difference between an advertisement that is labeled as one and a disingenuous post on a site like this one where that type of activity is nonexistent.

While you might derive some short-term pleasure from the challenge of infiltrating people’s trust boundaries, it can’t be something to be proud of.

> anything invested in a young employee was just investing in the company itself.

We often discuss the modern lack of perks you listed, but we rarely discuss this consequence.

I recently left a tech company and was surprised when engineering management showed no interest in learning why I had left. It makes sense not to worry about -me-, but why not worry about the workers who haven't left?

I concluded that since places assume you will leave within 3 years (I was at 3.5), they dont really concern themselves with trying to counter that and consider it normal, which becomes a self-prophecy.
That reading of the fall of the Republic long pre-dates Trump.

The final years of the Republic were characterized by fights over citizenship for the Italians, consolidation of land in the hands of a small number of slave-owning oligarchs, meaning that more and more people were unemployed and ineligible for political advancement, and politicians breaking the political rules to push their agenda (kick out the guy vetoing my popular bill) or halt someone else's (kill the guy who passed that popular bill).

The exciting part of the fall of the republic that all the plays and history books are written about, with the civil wars and the dictators for life and the "friends, Romans, countrymen", that was all enabled by the earlier boring but highly consequential political fighting and norm-breaking.

Oh, and this was totally recognized at the time. Sulla tried to address these problems directly with his constitutional reforms, but it was too little to late. Later politicians like Cato and Cicero tried to re-normalize democratic behavior, but failed because their opposition had learned how much profit there was in abusing the system.
>It is not known what causes the normal protein to misfold

Second sentence of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prion

>Prions don't really suggest that life is a simulation.

To you, to me they do. I imagine with the logic you're using, nothing suggests we live in a simulation. I however recognize this as one of dozens of things that are like "hey wait a minute". No where in my replies have I stated "THIS IS IRREFUTABLE PROOF REALITY IS A LIE!" I said this is one of the things that makes me seriously consider the simulation hypothesis. One. Of many.

>The similarities to the 'corrupted blood incident' start and end with them both spreading to others in a local area.

One is an anomalous protein that causes other proteins it comes in contact with to become anomalous spreading out of control and ultimately killing the host the other was code meant to do a specific thing, in a specific area, that due to a bug (that allowed the infection to leave restricted areas) caused anything that it came in contact with to become corrupted spreading out of control.

I didn't say "ermagerd this is the thing that happened on gorkamorka" I said 'this reminds me of the corrupted blood incident', which it in fact does.
That only applies to the ads from Google, not from content creators themselves.

And it is three times more expensive than Netflix where I live.

I don't see the value proposition there.

> I remember it took me a while to realise I could do "x = x + 1" in my code and what that meant

That's the sort of thing I called bit-twiddling in my own comment. Some of these ideas get so ingrained in older programmers that we forget how much mental overhead they involve. I only got a sense of it myself after I returned to a somewhat imperative language (Python) after years of using functional languages.

VBA is great if you want to make spreadsheets do things they couldn't otherwise.
> The massive, obvious counterpoint to Musk’s boasts is that, despite working more than 17 hours a day for weeks on end, Musk hasn’t yet changed the world. Not in a real, meaningful sense that will be remembered for generations to come like, say, biologist Charles Darwin, who worked four hours a day, or United States founding father Benjamin Franklin, who was strict about calling it a day after eight hours or work. Sure, Tesla was ahead of the curve on getting the auto industry to go electric but, as Geoffrey James notes in Inc, AltaVista was the first ever search engine and no one says “let me AltaVista that for you.” It’ll be pretty good going if Tesla manages to make electric cars affordable and replace internal-combustion engines entirely, but that hasn’t happened yet. Similarly, SpaceX has made rockets cheaper, which opens up a lot of opportunities, but we’ve yet to see the consequences. If Musk eventually manages to create a colony on Mars then that, of course, would be world-changing—but I suspect we’d then hear a lot less about how he skips breakfast or doesn’t get much sleep, because Musk would have something far more impressive to boast about.

This paragraph is, I think, very on point, and it summarizes my opinions about Musk very clearly. Disclaimer: I'm very cynical of most things (even for HN standards) and all my life had a desire to work 120 hours a week (like Musk claims) but can never do it due to various reasons (mostly due mental health) (so, deep inside there is probably some jealousy going on). But if I'm being very honest, I think Musk is a PR campaign and is not a technology pioneer. Contrary to what my friends and people who read my submission history would think, I'm not against technology. But tech industry is completely out of control. I see myself as a technology purist: when we're making technological developments, I hate that it comes with a whole PR campaign attached with it which shadows the real engineering value added to the world. In our world, this is the "normal" way how tech companies operate. I would want to see Musk being discussed more about his technical ideas (if he has them) as opposed to his ideas about how workers should spend their times or how the society should be changed etc.
> OGG too.

Of course there's no need for a separate OGG download; no matter how transparent the MP3 encoding is, one thing at which MP3s suck and lossless codecs, by definition, excel is re-encodeability. If you've got FLAC, you're not far from OGG, AAC, and any other format you like.
no, having check digits means that some code corresponds to no location and are syntactically wrong.

As far as I can tell the clawbacks are of profits taken, not principle. Since the profits were fictitious they represent money stolen from downstream victims of the scam. It doesn't really matter that Madoff stole it and then handed it to someone else: it's still stolen money.

That's the Empire, not the Republic. We should be more interested in how Rome fell from a liberal democratic republic into autocratic tyranny before worrying about how it collapsed militarily after 400 years of brutal dictatorship.

I do see some issues with really large files. Files over 50Mb. My server has limits imposed and the resulting error is not communicated back to me on the app. The app merely states "Failed to upload". For me, this is the only issue I ever get, but without knowing the cause it does feel very "random".

In my case, I managed to track it down and, by knowing what causes the sync issue, I can avoid it, or ignore it.
Could be that grandparent has this issue too bu her/his server is set to much lower limits even?
That’s unfortunate, but it was under a different law in a different country. And yeah, he was released.
