Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are an active issue for regulators right now. Statements have come out from several parties that confirm networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum are not securities. The SEC is actively shutting down ICO schemes that are deemed securities. Things are moving slowly because it's a complicated topic, but we are seeing more and more guidance from regulators like the SEC and others.

AirBnB and Uber are doing pretty fine for companies that got killed by regulators.

Prolog was one of my favourite languages during my degree, to the point that I participated in some logic programming championships.

Would like to have some excuses to actually use it on my daily work.

As side note, until our compiler design lectures decided to switch the required implementation language to the newly arrived Java, it was possible to choose whatever programming language to implement our assignments.

However Lisp and Prolog were off limits as they would make them too easy!
It sure is making companies lose customers - the play is to be a dick, but only when the profits from it exceed the losses from disgruntled customers. Unfortunately I think at this point the customers are used to being routinely maltreated, so they don't turn their back on the terrible companies even in cases of blatant abuse (ex. a year after the VW scandal, their car had record sales in my country).
Wonderful service. I really like the idea. I think $10/month is way too low for the value you provide - think of the tax savings, and auditing capabilities you could provide. Good luck, I think you should charge more.

An ACH transaction between two North American banks usually arrives on the next business day (if you place it before the cut-off time). In fact, ACH supports multiple settlements per day now so if that feature is supported by your bank ACH transfers can even arrive on the same business day. There are a few banks that are slower, but that's not the fault of ACH - don't use slow banks and you're not running into that issue.

That's very similar to SEPA transactions, with the exception that some European banks support real-time settlements for SEPA. For banks that don't support this yet funds usually arrive on the next business day.

Transfers between the US banking system and the European system are usually slow and expensive as those two systems aren't directly linked to each other. So you your bank needs to send the funds to a correspondent bank which forwards the funds to the final destination. But if you use 3rd party services such as TransferWise those transfers are significantly faster and cheaper. My last transfer from my US bank account to my European account (via TransferWise) arrived on the next business day and cost something like 0.36% on top of the mid-market rate.
Matching UI to designs was horrible on Android, at least as of ~1.5yrs ago. Even if designers were shooting for "Material". Plenty of rough edges. I wouldn't say 2x-3x longer for a typical project, though.

I could see there being issues with relatively new-to-Android developers not appreciating the degree to which advice from the official docs, especially relating to structuring applications, should be taken with a largish dose of salt, leading to slow-and-getting-slower development as an Android project went along.
The Personal Consumption Expenditures number from the Federal Reserve is seasonally adjusted. A decline in a seasonally adjusted number can actually a lower than expected increase.
Rural areas are already massively over-represented in the senate because rural states tend to be far less populous than urban states and slightly over-represented in congress because rural districts tend to be smaller than urban ones.
The other issue which kills wide adoption is price fluctuation.

People using it as a regular currency need their account value to remain what they expect it to be. High viability strongly repels regular users and attracts high risk speculators. And maybe that is a fun outcome but it does make it unusable as currency.

It's still worth accepting on principle of course.

Why do we continue to risk capitalism? In America, a huge amount of the population are in an extremely precarious economic situation, if not in outright poverty, all so a tiny upper class can increase it's wealth exponentially. Wages for workers haven't meaningfully increased in decades, while corporate profits skyrocket. Globally, capitalism is the driving force behind the near-extinction level event of climate change. Why do we mindlessly go along with capitalism but wring our hands over the suggestion of anything more equitable?

I truly do not give a fuck about start up founders, sorry.

Again, is our current system, in which companies can literally pay politicians to fight against any and all regulation that would limit their ability to generate obscene profit, somehow free of corruption?

Maybe not the answers you were expecting, but I reject the premise that capitalism is the rational default and that equitable distribution is some crazy idea I need to justify.

And by the way, communism is what I'm shooting for, but we have a long way to go to get there and any step on that path is an improvement. A capitalist model with robust safety nets like Scandanavian countries would be a fine first step, for example. Ultimately unsustainable, because capitalism is unsustainable, but still progress.

I don't understand. How could they make more revenue than what they lost for the year, but have a negative profit? The loss doesn't subtract enough from the revenue to go less than 0.
Your account number is on every checks. Checks are usually prefered because in the US you can cash them immediately and online.

Of course, YMMV. I've experienced both the US bank system and the EU (France) bank system. Even if Americans are very critical of our banks, no fee (usually) for anything, reduced red tape, and credit cards that are on your side won me over. When you take account of cash back and interests on checking, you've usually a cash positive relationship with you bank. Good luck finding that in Europe.

LinkedIn.

If you end up needing their email address because you can't send a message on LinkedIn, there's a slew of ways to find someone's email. They might list it on their Twitter, Github, or blog. Companies out there will help you guess it (Clearbit, Hunter, VoilaNorbert, etc.). And if all else fails, googling your best guesses as to what their email is (including their gmail) will often yield a match in some random mailing list, press release, or what have you.

> If those issues aren't in your company's core competencies, it's not necessarily efficient to invest in building out all of that.

Maybe that's just the story cloud providers tell you.

Until you try, do you really know if it's all that complicated? People have been running datacenters for a long time, and not all of them work for Amazon.

But there may be also a beneficial side effect of having gearheads around, and maybe that's the real cost to going cloud.

> Counter-intuitively, air sealing is usually the #1 improvement.

I think the hard thing for people to think about is that heat transfer is exponential. But we don't measure it that way. In fact R values are really misleading[1].

Meaning transfer coefficients can vary by orders of magnitude. So it's easy for one source like air leakage to totally swamp every other source.

[1] Figure of merit is really 1/R (smaller is better) not R.

> 2) This wasn't some "backroom deal". The NDAs were a stipulation in Amazon's competition meant to prevent bidding wars. If cities could react to other cities, it would have created an escalating race to the bottom. Ironically, Amazon probably did this to avoid bad press. Go figure.

The entire thing was a race to the bottom.

Generalist developer, I like to create responsive and well designed products. I learn and adapt fast.
The Wiki page is pretty good, but there are simply vast lacunae in this idea. For example:
https://www.nber.org/papers/w5625

Economists treat it like it was a proof, but it wasn't; it's a sort of shaggy dog story in service of an ideology.
I am seriously suggesting that this is not something that can be algorithmically determined. I'm quite OK with all manner of content not having comments enabled. I'm not okay with unthinkingly stupid false positives all over the place harming creatives' (actual creatives) ability to feed themselves, and those false positives are overwhelmingly caused by bad heuristics and objectively dumb algorithmic decision-making.

Feeding humans into The Machine, having The Machine make context-free, alarmingly inaccurate, and functionally beyond-appeal decisions--because the appeal process doesn't scale either, we are so frequently told, when it isn't just "drop the appeal on the floor--is bad. If Google has no other answer than Feed The Machine, then The Machine should be considered inimical to humans and should be dismantled.

But, of course, The Machine is not necessary; that's a convenient fiction to paint the problem as a dilemma of "no YouTube" and "some unaccountable algorithm runs YouTube and decide what you can see, free to lead kids from Let's Plays to Nazi agitprop and pedophiles to their spank bait." It's just that the Machine is cheaper, you know? And that's really, and literally, all.
The amount of people who think #1 at all excuses this sort of deal really frustrates me.
Of course it was. From a future revenue perspective, it absolutely makes sense that facebook would focus on young people, so any research done into the future of facebook and its revenue _must_ include a decent number of young people. I imagine that they are having little success in getting young people to join and interact on facebook, especially because it is being heavily leveraged for international political pressure.

Given current social and political realities, though, and a series of deeply troubling news stories coming out of facebook, I think it might have lost a very large segment of young people that will never join or return. I watch my 15 yo daughter interact with people online, and she has no interest at all in facebook, and her interest in instragram is waning. Currently, her primary interaction space is discord.

I've heard semi-private chat rooms are what is going to be popular, and I expect that we're going to see that kind of thing in facebook soon. I wish them luck (not really) building a revenue model on it that matches what they currently expect.
