Yes 900k seems like for some companies that kind of fine would be worth it to get their stuff in space and even if you made it 5 times higher seems like you could account for all of that in your budget. I think a more severe penalty would be ground them from future launches for 6 months(or other number maybe 6 months is too short), and failure to do that would have them sanctioned from the US and it's allies. The article states they are hoping the negative exposure from this fine is enough to deter the company, it is not even about the money.
It can also be relatively carbon-neutral, if you pull most of the plastic out of the waste stream first. The rest is going to be mostly wood, paper and cardboard.

I'm not as sanguine as you. We are witnessing the breakdown of effective governing in Western democracies, in part triggered by active intervention by Russia, both in the UK in the case of Brexit and in the US with the Trump election. And in both cases the democratic system is now in complete disarray, with the U.K. government so far unable to stop devastating losses to their economy with politicians either grandstanding or walking off the stage. And in the US you have an individual who despises any form of fact-based consensus building in favour of deciding the literal fate of the world based on his (granted bigly substantial) gut. Literally one person decides to pull the US out of the Paris accord, starts a trade war at the worst possible economic time, pulls military support out of Syria over the consensus of military leadership, and shuts down the US government for good measure. And in both cases members of Congress and parliament are debilitated by infantile infighting and power grabbing from doing anything about it.
Combine a minor slow-down of the world economy with that powder kegg and the world could absolutely look completely different from today in a few years time.

>> Decryption is done in the browsers so it's not passing through the servers unencrypted.

That cannot be for unencrypted emails, which is how most communications over email are going to be, because:

1. Most people or businesses are not on ProtonMail

2. Usage of PGP is nice, but very few people have published PGP keys

3. Opening a link to view a message is a big problem; personally I ignore such emails, can’t remember the last time that happened

It also doesn’t work for unencrypted emails being sent to you, which are a majority.

If I were to guess 99%+ of emails sent or received by ProtonMail customers are seen by ProtonMail’s servers in unencrypted form.

And this is why ProtonMail is snake oil.

You still ignore the countries where 0 journalists were killed by an angry person because of that they wrote or represent.

I agree US is not as dangerous as China,Russia etc but is more dangerous then the rest of the countries, you want to draw a base line somewhere above US "danger" level ,(again keep in mind this is a global comparison of journalists that died at work not random accidents)

I highly recommend Divinity, I've discovered it only recently and it is absolutely amazing, I think this is the best game I've ever played in my life. I've been looking for something like this ever since I played fallout 2 and thought "there should be a modern version of this". This is everything I wish Fallout3/Skyrim was, such a perfect, beautiful, fun, engaging game.

And I'm talking about Divinity 1, people say Divinity 2 is even better, though I haven't tried it because there's no linux version yet.

It blows my mind how much love and thought they've put into it, I can't recommend it enough, I haven't loved a game so much since I was a kid, do yourself a favor and check it out!

The cooling towers are used to cool waste water before discharging back to rivers/lakes, if I am not mistaken. Too bad there's not a practical way to put that heat to better use.
No, the truly ironic thing is that many locals think that this is a nuclear powerplant! (source: I used to hang out in Avalon Park; I miss playing Warhammer at Paladin).

I think it is because during the 3 mile island incident, so many pictures of the cooling towers were shown on the news, that large cooling towers are associated with nuclear plants in the public mind. The flat terrain makes the tall cooling towers the most prominent feature for miles around, so people notice them much more than the smokestacks right next to them.

Recent years? The return is over a span of 10-30 years, if you look up some charts you can see how overall, the index funds have multiplied in value. You just have to have patience, it's not a get rich quick scheme.

The get rich quick schemes are highly risky, yet highly profitable if you get the timing right (see: cryptocurrencies, last year, which was basically what you get when smart investors manipulate the market in such a way that the masses join in and boost the prices even further).
The 99/100 case (in this argument) is mostly tragedy of the commons laws.

It entails sitting in on meetings, following the CEO around during his day to day work and seeing how things generally run at a company this size. He has allowed me to sit on meetings/calls in any department so I will probably be switching between being with him and the sales team.

The distinction isn't so much mutual funds vs ETFs, as active vs passively managed funds. There are actively managed ETFs with gigantic fees just like there are actively managed mutual funds with gigantic fees.

The primary differences between ETF's and mutual funds are:

- You can invest any amount of money into a mutual fund (above some initial minimum), where ETF's require you to purchase a whole number of shares.

- ETFs can be traded like stocks. Intraday trading works just fine. All mutual fund trades get executed typically once or twice per day (before opening / after closing hours). For long term investors, this difference is pretty unimportant.
Paxosmon: Gotta consensus them all
If you want to contribute/bring value, learn as much as you can about the company. Why are things structured the way they are? What needs to happen for the company to be successful? What things are that way “for a good reason”, and what things have just “always been that way”?

The most valuable thing you can bring to your CEO friend is a trusted outside perspective on his company. Go in with humility and an open mind.

As far as getting the most out of the opportunity, there are 2 big takeaways I would look for:

1) Learn all about the types of work required for the job. If you’re early in your career, it’s good to try lots of things and see what sort of work you enjoy (even if you want to own your own company, you’ll want to know what sort of work you’ll want to bring in help for).

2) Meet as many people as you can! I believe that a huge part of the compounding “interest” of career growth is in relationships built. If you’re shadowing the CEO, that gives you lots of access to other executives (but don’t count out anyone at any level - everyone you meet can teach you something!).

Build your network by making good relationships with the people you meet. Who knows? You may meet a future co-founder there. And if not, the people you meet may be able to make good introductions: “A” players know other “A” players. Invest in the relationships with the A players.

Finally, you should be on the same page with the CEO with the direction or outcome of the internship. Are you looking to land a job at this company? Do you want an introduction to other opportunities? If your CEO friend wants to help you, make it easy for him by letting him know exactly how you want to be helped.

Good luck!
I'd definitely agree that it's overdramatic, but not that it's unthinkable / un-speculatable.

After all, it's not like societal collapse is without precedent in human history. Our latest global financial crisis arguably helped usher in a global wave of xenophobic populists opposed to any kind of evidence-based decision making - which, unfortunately, makes it yet harder to identify and address the root causes of really complex economic, environmental, and socio-political problems.

(I should add that I'm still optimistic here - just that we shouldn't offhand dismiss this possibility as totally incredible, and that instead the possibility should serve as a wakeup call.)
Brah, IDK what your street corner pharmacist told you, but if you're smoking "CBD flowers", you're smoking weed.
It's so good in couch co-op it seems incredible that, AFAIK, there are no other games in that particular niche.

More specifically following, and learning from a person doing their work. It is used widely in the medical field among medical students when referring to shadowing a GP for a week for example.
On the 10th anniversary of Baldur's Gate, Bioware put up a website that had quotes from a bunch of devs who worked on it. One of the people quoted said that the publisher, Interplay, kept rejecting Bioware's story drafts and ended up having their own team (Black Isle) write it. So if that is to be believed, Interplay/Black Isle did do more than just publish the game, but I haven't been able to find out exactly how involved they were in the development.

India came up with UPI for this exact reason. Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Whatsapp Payments, etc. are all built on UPI in India. UPI is interoperable with all apps. So you can use whatever app you prefer. ie Whatsapp Payements can send money to someone using Google Pay directly.
Right. Nuclear plants turn heat into electricity the same way coal plants do, they just generate the heat differently, so the second stage of the process looks similar for both. Some plants are built where there's enough water flow (or enough lack of concern over the environmental problems) that the towers aren't needed.
Sorry, let me clarify (I sometimes use words inappropriately). None of the responses were critical.
Notice that with the global liberalism regime force feed on peoples, corporations have the right to sue governments when the later have laws preventing the corporations to make profit.

And when it's corporations that have revenues ten or hundreds of times greater than the sued state, the later stands no chance.
Reality is different than what you think. It's also probably different from what it should be. But who are you compared to Soros, Rockfeller and the bankers of the GAFAM?

It's still possible. I have 3 kids a full time job and a 1 hour driving commute each way. Despite this in the past 6 years I've still managed to play through Ultima VI, Baldur's Gate 1&2 Planescape Torment, 1/2 of Icewind Dale (finally burnt out on infinity engine), Tides of Numenera, Pillars of Eternity, Torment, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Zelda a Link to the Past, Zelda Wind Waker, Hyper Light Drifter and am 95% of my way through Divinity Original Sin and I've probably forgotten some!

I squeeze in an hour or two here and there (usually at night after everybody else has gone to sleep). It can take a couple months to finish a game at this pace, but you get through them.

I like the big open-ended RPGs. I feel like I can get in and complete a couple short quests or a tricky combat situation in the short time I have allotted. It makes me feel like I'm always making progress, even if it's slow going. Compared to action games where I feel like the hour I have to play is barely enough time to warm up and play effectively.
The Enhanced Editions are great – tons of warts removed, support for modern platforms, and a bunch of nice quality-of-life improvements by some of the original developers.

The company which made them offended some gamergate types awhile back so they perennially get negative reviews but that’s politics rather than a reflection on the work.
On the other hand, this is also one of the reasons I'd be hesitant to put garbage collection in place for laws.

Make it too easy to repeal laws, and anti-corporate interest laws that were difficult to pass find themselves quietly unwritten soon after.

A difficult game theory problem.
Yes it is a hardware feature. However the hardware can be given hints as to which branch is more likely. This is generally documented by the manufacturer, in one of those technical documents aimed at compiler writers.

With profile guided optimization it is possible for the compiler to have much better information about branches than the CPU can guess. Java applies profile guided optimization in real time, with C++ it much more complex to apply.

It shouldn't be unexpected, it's very natural. I guess it's a bit hard to grasp why, in which case there are bug studies showing same effects. Essentially higher level of reasoning (think reasoning about fewer things) and producing less code for the same functionality creates fewer possibilities for mistakes.
They would, as long as they would have bought the least little screw and paid in USD (eg. thru Amazon).
Baldurs Gate was really good, but I think people give it too much credit. Fallout 1$2 and Planescape Torment showed what really is a narrative-driven RPG game, they deserve more attention.
Totally understandable. Later seems appropriate, and your feedback after completing this process will probably be pretty valuable to your friend.
Also, agreed - their site & demo are really great!

The article was vague. How does this law compare to other countries? Is it NSA or Hemisphere level data dragnets, is it Australian style "Australian law > mathematical law", or is it something different?
Hehe, I haven't tried Elixir, so I cannot say.

FWIW I taught a 16 y.o. intern enough perl and vba to automate what was a very non trivial reporting job.

He did it in 14 days, after hours only (attending school at week days) and he only asked me a few times.

Doesn't mean I'll say perl is easy (I cannot even understand my own perl code from back then anymore), only I got a really really bright intern.

It might be the same in your case but I obviously cannot say for sure since I've never programmed Elixir or met your intern :-)

Your link to the Congressional Research Service report, was that included to highlight how difficult it is to enumerate the number of Federal laws?

Because if so, so far reading this, it seems the Federal government has a pretty solid, and measurable grip on that very activity, just from the text of the report, and it doesn't seem remarkably difficult for them since they've come up with seemingly multiple ways to delineate the different types of Federal rules from each other, and have been able to point to various methods used to come up with their final assessment totals.

None of it seemed overtly complicated or difficult, and I'm about as far removed from "well read" on government reports as a person can get.
Yea, this is the multiplayer I've been dreaming of. I really like how it lets you wander around separately and not get automatically stuck in all of their dialogues and decisions. Neverwinter Nights kinda tried to have some of this, but it wasn't quite this smooth.

Billions of users of which things that are worthwhile?
You are missing two important things here.

Homogenous and small.

These countries are homogenous which also means politically. You will be hard pressed to find any real fundamental political differences between parties in the scandinavian countries.

They are all on the left side of Sanders.

Furthermore, it matters quite a lot that you are dealing with a fairly limited population who all suffers from more or less the same issues because they genetically are alike.

And again keep in mind the Scandinavian countries have budgets which means that you can't always get the treatment you want/need even if you had the money.

Again I am not saying the US system is good it's obviously not.

But a single-payer system in the US just isn't realistic or attractive for that matter.

The problem in the US is the price, but that price is held up artifically not because of the market. So we need to remove the things that make the price go up that hight. That IMO would be a much better approach than trying to mimick scandinavian countries as great as they are for their population (but definitely not without it's problems)
honey, you haven't witnessed deep recessions.
In my 1:1's, I talk about what I'm working on, any challenges I'm facing, and what I want to work on in the future (some combination of those three). You might be able to talk about the issues you mentioned if you can frame them as directly impacting your day-to-day work.
I'm not ignoring it. 0 journalists were killed in Russia this year (at least not in a way that made this list).

Does one incident resulting in 4 deaths constitute a trend? how many journos were killed in the US in years past? What about other countries that were at zero this year? This year's report shows a zero for France, but as another commenter reminded me, Charlie Hebdo had 12 people killed (7-8 could be called "journalists" if you count copy editors and cartoonists) just under 4 years ago. What did that shooting say about the danger of being a journalist in France, and did that constitute a trend? Which country is more dangerous - France or the US?

It's a value judgment. This is my point.
