I'm a regular participant on 'Bogleheads' forum. If forum posters are to believed, there are quite a few high net-worth individuals there.

Many are motivated by 'the game'. But I am not depressed by this. On the contrary, it seems to me that most take care to use their money in constructive ways. They seek to find ways to build better futures for those that will follow them. Some even pledge to give a bunch of it away, after the great examples set by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.

There are some bad apples, probably, but I think there are a lot more good ones.
I'm not the person you are responding to.

I don't recall every being asked about other nationalities. Countries will ask if you have previously entered under a different name but presumably you are using the same name world wide.

If you have multiple passports you can just use whichever one gets you through immigration the fasted. some caveats:

1) if you have a passport from the country you are entering/leaving they want you to use it ie if you have a US passport you should use it when entering or leaving the US. If you then arrive in the UK and have a UK passport you should use your UK passport at the UK end of your flight.

2) if you entered a country with passport A use that same passport to leave. If you don't they wont automatically match up your entry and departure. On one hand you will have appeared to have overstayed your visa, on the other you are now exiting the country with no record of you having entered. At a minimum there will be questions and your just trying to just get through immigration painlessly.

> Indeed. One can think of a BC tunnel as a narrow rail tunnel containing a single highway lane. An express lane restricted to networked self-driving non-truck vehicles. Headway buys fewer vehicles sharing the damage and acceleration of a lead accident vehicle's decel - because with networking, they needn't ever exceed it. One might literally do full-speed bumper-on-bumper.

How do you do stations? If you have the station on the mainline, your entire train of vehicles has to stop at the station just like, well, a train, so what you have is just a less safe version of a train. If you have turnouts for stations, you have the issue of switch fouling preventing you from bunching vehicles too close together, and high-speed turnouts have to be long to deal with turn radii. But the real killer with turnouts is trying to get a train to merge back onto the trunk at speed--with little-to-no space between cars, a slight mismatch in speed is going to equal a high-speed collision.
If you're looking for relatively unchanged Asian culture and great views, I would recommend Nepal.

I was visiting friends in Kathmandu (likely a decade ago) and had a great time exploring the mountains and the cultural areas. Also if you make lifelong friends, they might give you a khata scarf. You can also buy those gurkha knives if you can take it back home. There was also some bad people but that is common everywhere in the world exacerbated with elements of poverty so don't forget your common sense when dealing with sketchy situations. Theres also definitely pollution building up in the rivers.

Also note that the time I visited was some time after the Nepalese Civil War so soldiers still wandered the streets. However they honestly don't care about what you do, I don't know if they're still around now. As well, electricity and water would be out after 10pm so be prepared for that.
> I've tended to view JIRA as "the worst of all project tracking tools, except for all the other ones"

I've seen heard this opinion a number of times and I don't believe it's true. TargetProcess is a better project tracking tool. It has a deeper hierarchy for organizing work. It has the concept of teams built-in and allows you to view work across multiple teams and/or projects. It also provides a way to do roadmaps built-in. Everything is included and everything is designed to work well together.

As for the specific criticism about not being able to get a high-level and low-level view in one tool, I think the reason why JIRA does poorly at the high-level view is that it has a very shallow hierarchy of work entities. It has epics => user stories => sub tasks. While projects can also be used to organize work, JIRA unfortunately binds the concept of sprints which is more of a team thing to projects. Thus it's difficult for one team to work on multiple projects or multiple teams to work on a single project.

TargetProcess on the other hand has a separate entities for teams and sprints which allows projects to be used for organizing work. It also has an additional level in the work hierarchy providing the following levels: project => epic => feature => user story => task. This deep hierarchy allows you to group work into larger groups allowing you to see both the high-level and the low-level.

Not "worst" just "egregious". You made a strawman, down-votes incoming.
How often does that happen, though? I can't even recall last time I heard of a case of someone deliberately trying to conceal a gun or a knife in luggage.
> the poor are much worse at investing money than the wealthy

i disagree. wealthy people have better investment options by virtue of the fact that they have more money. any banker can confirm that. Taxation is not the only solution. full employment is another way , but yeah there are no magical solutions.

Wasn't it really about power from the get go? Money is a pretty straightforward proxy for power and power(over people) is always relative.

To me it all plays out in a much weirder manner among common people in countries that experienced rapid growth. Before my eyes my environment went from that of brutal poverty to - sometimes very uneven - prosperity.
For the most part, it doesn't need it.

There are two plastic plugs on the top of the CRT which cover up some screws, those did need retrobriting, but the rest of the casing is painted plastic and metal, the ABS underneath is neither visible nor exposed to UV light.

Also the paint is actually scuffed and lightly worn off in a few places, retrobrite won't do anything about that. It either needs new paint, or I need to accept it as patina.
> Web Components are directly implemented by browsers so you don’t need a “Web Components library”.

I mean a collections of components like Polymer. Unless you plan on maintaining everything yourself, both React and Web Components share the same problem here.

> This universal compatibility and better reliability makes Web Components a better choice today for creating reusable components, than React.

You can mix and match any and all frameworks and Web Components if you try want. And again: React and Web Components mostly solve different problems. One isn’t going to directly cannibalise the other. You can use both.
Stories should absolutely be a "what" and a "why." Stories are property of the product owner and they are ideally writing them. The "how" is up to the team or implementor. If your product owner is specifying "how," that just sounds wrong. Maybe they could suggest how if they are a domain expert.
The High Price of Materialism by Tim Kasser is a good read.

Your post as of my writing this comment makes it unclear: Is the code in this specific release written by GitHub, GitLab, or both?
It's like the previous book on Wolf3D, "an engineering book", so there ought to be enough detail to recreate your own version of Doom. Furthermore, your own version of Doom on the original hardware it was made for. For Wolf3D, that would be the 386. Of course you're more likely interested in recreating for modern hardware, in which case the book should still be applicable, but some things they had to do will be different, and some things you'd have to do would also be different -- probably less work for you to get to the same place.

https://jonathanwhiting.com/games/knossu/ is an example of "What can you do with a Doom style raycasting engine if you're tired of realism and shooting things?" I don't know where the author would have learned about Doom's techniques (perhaps just looking at it, perhaps the source code, perhaps .plan archives, or perhaps Fabien's earlier review here with included further reading at the end: http://fabiensanglard.net/doomIphone/doomClassicRenderer.php ) but there's definitely other resources out there. I'd recommend the book though just from having read the previous one.

> Tether has long been suspected of being a complete and total fraud, a wildcat currency propped up by mere promises, not proof, of backing cash.

Those suspicions have always been extremely poorly grounded.

> Exchanges have also been suspected of manipulating prices to liquidate future positions, there’s literally a twitter account dedicated to force liquidated Bitmex position.

Not by anyone serious. Sure, people get liquidated all the time because they don't have enough maintenance margin. The risks are very clearly defined, and all you have to do is read them.

> When every player is operating in bad faith it is very hard to come up with a legitimate way to protect yourself other than not participating.

There is no evidence that the major exchanges are operating in bad faith. And even if they were, what is your point? My point is that they could have neutralized the currency risk of their assets. And that point is absolutely true.
>A fund to better manage migration

Not end it? So this establishment nobody wants to raise amost a trillion Euro through taxes to give directly to economic migrants to encourange more of them to come here and put downward pressure on wages for the most vulnerable Europeans, while he takes a cut.

Thanks The Guardian. Whatever would we do with your uncritical reporting on traitors like this.
One also needs to consider saving rate (very high) and mortgage policy to answer that question.

Government is excellent - BEYOND excellent - at policing others. In most every 1st world country, when the government goes after an industry, things change. See the recent Australian Royal Commission for an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Commission_into_Miscondu...

The problem is when Government is a player as well. Government struggles to play both referee and player - as anyone would. Just imagine Michael Jordan refereeing his own games. Every drive would be a foul.

The problem with government is there is no creative destruction. When a company turns bad, it dies. When government turns bad, we elect a new one and all the same shitty institutions remain. And the good ones to be fair, but certainly all the shitty ones.

Government should stick to what it does well, hold other entities accountable, and not get too involved in things that can fail that they can't then kill off.
Gold's value does not come from its beauty. It comes from its verifiability. If someone presents you a sample of gold you can very quickly verify its authenticity and approximate purity with very little technology.
First, there was ASP, which was a lot like PHP, ColdFusion or Perl/CGI - mixing inline back-end code and HTML/JS/CSS/etc - but of course executing all back-end code on the server.

ASP.NET WebForms came along and is still supported, and tried to make developing web applications similar to developing desktop applications in WinForms. I did that, it worked.. it was clunky at times (but it worked). Of course, mostly this was all server-side with just HTML/JS/CSS interacting.

A long time ago the dominant model became ASP.NET MVC which is a typical server-side MVC architecture.

Recently, Microsoft offered a new "old" paradigm through Razor Pages which are a lot like old ASP was.

If you look at things like React (or the view layer in Angular, etc.), it turns out that the web component / control model used in WebForms (server-side) is quite similar to the client side model used in React. The main difference of course being, one running client-side primarily (React) and the other server-side (WebForms). It gets even more interesting as a comparison when you talk about server-side React view rendering.

Yep, the exchange that's been trustworthy and operated seamlessly since its inception, sure. And still does.

> There are no scalable options to cash out $10m to a bank and sleep well. You could cash out into some "stable coin" only to wake up to it costing $0.04 (hello nubits). Tether is no safer in that matter.

You may not sleep perfectly, but you'll sleep a lot better than if you're holding it in crypto. And that is my point. And if you wanted to use Dai, you could actually sleep perfectly. Dai has held up perfectly well, and you can hold it off-exchange.
> However, often HTML/HTTP(S) is just the wrong protocol for many things

Indeed! First we lost all of the IP protocols except TCP and UDP, thanks to aggressive firewalls. NAT managed to kill any hope of end-user hosts acting as true servers, so we ended up with a client-server internet.

Another round of aggressive firewalling killed off pretty much everything except for 53/udp, 80/tcp, and 443/tcp. Middleboxes playing with unencrypted DNS and HTTP then broke 53/udp (good luck introducing new RR types or extending the protocol now!) and 80/tcp. Now we're left with HTTPS on 443/tcp as our only remaining protocol that actually works reliably for end users in the real world internet.

[Not to mention the fact that iOS and Android 8+ both prevent applications from holding long-lived server connections. Want real-time notifications? No choice but to go through the vendor's push notification service.]
DAI actually works as a stablecoin today.

It's pegged to the USD using crypto collateral.

Scott Krulcik: A Tribute to the 22-Year-Old Google Programmer
I largely agree with you that it is an important and significant distinction, but indulge a little thought experiment in which I try to show that even age-based thresholds can result in undesirable outcomes.

What if the age of agency were age 100? Only about 1 in 10000 Americans makes it to that age. So in this world, only the very-long-lived might have access to lucrative investment opportunities. Wealth would accumulate in families with a genetic predisposition for longevity (which is itself correlated with wealth! a positive feedback loop). This seems undesirable to me.

One might say "well sure, but 99.9% of people live to 18, so that is a much more reasonable number" (and I obviously agree). But then why not 16? More people live to 16 than 18, tautologically. Why not 10? Because there is threshold of "mature enough" that we, as a society, decide on, and this threshold is completely arbitrary.

Engelbart worried about this:

"Facebook used open source software to build a web application capable of serving more than 2 billion people. Now it stands accused of enabling bad actors to foment hate, divide societies, and manipulate elections. Meanwhile, the National Security Agency is using some of those same open source tools as part of its surveillance efforts. In other words, bad actors can continuously improve too."

> Worship your intellect, being seen as smart-you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out.

which suggests that Imposter Syndrome is a result of "worshipping" intellect, particularly our own individual intelligence. We spend many days judging interview candidates for their intelligence (even when it is not clear that anything more than adequate intelligence is needed for quality, lasting work), and then wonder why we are so afraid that we feel like imposters.
Australian farmers, suffering through yet another "unexpectedly intensive" drought, could learn a lot from this. I mean they won't, but they could.

Instead they will whinge and complain and put their hands out and watch their stock die and, when rain falls again, they will take the government-aid cheques and overstock their land and continue the laziest, dumbest form of farming they could import from the cooler, wetter climes of England.
Who is the main alternative to Coinbase when it comes to Bitcoin? (I've used Coinbase in the past, and would like to know for the future...)
Sorry to hear that. In general I find eBay's rating system for buyers/sellers much more reliable than Amazon's. But of course I don't always shop at eBay. Going to the sites of individual companies that sell the product I want saves a lot of money too. And there's generally better support.

I can do this because unlike Amazon eBay doesn't pressure me with incentives and sunk costs to only shop there.

While that’s correct prescribing drugs outside of their approved protocols can open you to malpractice, the problem with painkillers is that as far as I know there haven’t been any successful malpractice suits due to addiction in all honesty the best way to stop to over prescription of opioids isn’t to take the pharmaceuticals to court it’s to take the doctors.

A few cases that would set a precedence in pain management related addiction and doctors would be much less likely to prescribe them as freely as they do now.

I never understood this oddly American thing about “comfort” when undergoing medical procedures form dental procedures to surgery it seems like while the rest of the world is OK with some pain and discomfort in the US they’ll pump you up with pain killers and anestetics until you don’t feel a thing.

The recent market crash is partly the exchanges’ fault. Listing every possible coin out there exposes people to unfinished and shady products. Just looking at that list things like Storj and Tezos, or even Eos and Cardano are very questionable choices.

No one seems to take a stance against this garbage. While Coinbase is currently more selective, with this type of move they’d probably join the rest of the pack.

Also I’m not sure why they don’t include Nano in that list, which is one of the few cryptocurrencies that can actually be used as a currency.

He probably didn't fit the pattern. But we might underestimate the Persianisation simply because those aspects of Iranian culture the west took up, no longer look foreign.

Modern mens fashion (suits, pants, waistcoats) seem to have come from the Islamic world, especially Iran.

There are definitely companies who have been working on some great tech either in the security token space or in the exchange space and I would love to be able to acquire some of that.

Some of the types of industries we believe are going to be is anything in "digitally created" i.e. things that are born digital and thus can be born on the blockchain (think game assets, images, text, art, code) and then infrastructure technologies such as security tokens which can be used to validate inter-businesses data relationships.

But the infrastructure is still being built.
