Actual title is "Accepting Bitcoin as a Small Business – 4 Years In"
Nailed it.

Plus tariffs are voluntary taxes drawing from funds from importers. The economy will slow down as it adjusts to re-industrialization with higher prices paid out as wages to USA workers.
Well that's not how representative democracy works. You voted-in your representatives. Now they will make the decisions for you. If you don't like their decisions, vote them out the next time.
That's still a bug. I feel like you're being intentionally obtuse about what's considered to be a security problem in code. Nobody ever suggested that rust code can never crash or have bugs. It's just about memory safety, which obviously has nothing to do with door locks.
Releases aren't just tags, they have files and descriptions, it's a whole new things that Github offer. Tags are available through the branch dropdown (this is where I get them when I need them) and they do have a tabs for it in Release (I do see even more so what the article was talking about with the confusion that hierarchy bring), but when I go to the Release page, it's to get an officially packaged release, nothing else.
> It's been a great store of value over the past 6 years.

I don't think you understand what "store of value" means. Store of value means little to no volatility. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is one of the most volatile assets in existence. And a real store of value is a store of value permanently not just over a certain period of time.
A Randomized Field Experiment on Venture Capitalists and Angels
So? There's a huge amount of currency flowing to and from North America to Europe, Asia, etc. Just because the euro zone has standardized their banking system doesn't mean a) that America will ever do the same (cough the metric system cough), or b) that all movement of money across borders should be strictly the purview of banks.

In Canada alone people send $23.3B/year back to their country of origin in the form of remittances (China, India, the Philippines, etc.). Historically they've been massively overcharged for the privilege of doing so because they're held captive to our oligopolistic banking system - sometimes upwards of 20% because they regularly send smaller amounts to minimize risk.
It depends. If you have more political power than the person you are reporting, then you will be fine.
Community Theaters Kill 'Mockingbird' Productions After Lawsuit Threat
The First Amendment protects both freedom of speech and religion. But even if you insist on limiting the argument to free speech:

> Justice Clarence Thomas wrote separately, in an opinion joined by Gorsuch, to address an issue that the court did not decide: whether an order mandating that Phillips bake cakes for same-sex weddings violates his right to free speech. In Thomas’ view, Phillips’ creation of custom wedding cakes is exactly the kind of “expressive” conduct protected by the First Amendment. Requiring Phillips to make such cakes for same-sex marriage, even when it will convey a message that “he believes his faith forbids,” violates his First Amendment rights.
I totally respect OpenBSD and their commitment to security and stability. However, the thing holding me back is that they've dropped some features over the years that I relied on.

I used OpenBSD on a netbook and it was awesome. But I really needed 32-bit Linux binary compatibility, and I was also one of the 3 people who used bluetooth. Both of these features were removed entirely. I wish there was a way I could "live dangerously" and have access to them again. I would love to have access to bluetooth based serial terminals, and use my favorite keyboard.

CyberArk (Conjur team) | Front End / Backend / DevOps / Security | REMOTE (OR ONSITE NEWTON, MA) | FULL-TIME The CyberArk Conjur team helps people write super reliable software that's hard to hack. We're building tools that make the best security practices convenient for developers, ops, and security teams. We're hiring engineers for software development, infrastructure, and QA.

ABOUT US

We're a busy team, thanks to the increasing success of our product: the Conjur appliance secures the entire software development and deployment lifecycle for companies who want to ship features as fast as possible without increasing their risk of security breaches.

Conjur engineers work on a wide variety of projects, from integrations with some of today's most popular DevOps tools to moonshot projects that seek to revolutionize the way engineering teams factor in security when deploying applications.

We know that if you're a professional engineer, experience with specific tools or languages can usually be picked up quickly. That being said, Conjur engineers are using the following tools on a more-or-less daily basis:

* Ruby, Rails, Golang, Postgres, and JS

* Docker, Git, and Jenkins

* Kubernetes, OpenShift, Cloud Foundry

* Puppet, Chef, Ansible

SevenFifty Technologies | Engineering Director; Senior Full-stack Developer (Rails); Product Designer; Solutions Engineer | New York, NY | Onsite

SevenFifty is modernizing the wholesale beverage alcohol industry, which is massive but technologically antiquated. Over 50,000 restaurants, bars, hotels, and retail stores across the country connect with their sales reps and wholesalers through our platform, replacing a status quo going back to Prohibition. We work with everyone from the largest importers to mom and pop winemakers to build bespoke tools for communication,. content distribution, and order management, providing transparency across all tiers.

You'll be joining a small engineering team tackling a wide array of challenges - from complex data processing to modern, interactive web frontends; from liberating data from decades old mainframes, to consuming and writing APIs used by everyone from small retail shops to large conglomerates. We want people who are excited about learning new technologies and passionate about transforming a broken industry. We're also in a sweet spot for ambitious and talented engineers; we have a lot of traction and are well-financed, but still have a very small team responsible for a wide range of work enabling you to take ownership of large slices of our technology stack.

Technologies: Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, Backbone, React, React-Native

None of these things are new things. They're things the west largely has evolved past.

"reeducation camps" are not an alternative to war. They're slow burn racial suppression and replacement, and used to enforce subservience through fear and torture. Populations have been erasing rival populations over territory, ideology and resources since the beginning of time. Since the holocaust, the west has at least begun attempting to move in a new direction.

"ignoring all legal opposition to ... development" is not a new take on government infrastructure programs, its a return to the medieval period where a Lord didn't have to consider the needs of the peasants when deciding how to use and develop their land. Even serfdom granted the masses more rights than this.

"with boom bust cycle by printing money" - This is just financial and political regulation. The west values boom / bust, if only because cyclical creation and destruction creates opportunities for those with enough resources to play, and so long as the 'bust' isn't so large as to destabilize the system. China values strict stability for a large number of political and social reasons. And 'severely punishing bad actors' has very little to do with regulating the economy, and very, very much to do with ensuring the stability and status quo (of the hierarchy) of the one party system.

"using social credit to control bad behavior without prisons" - Does it matter if you have prisons, if you have turned your entire country into a prison? The purpose of the social credit system is not to control bad behavior, it is to control behavior.

"it's like they are trying to invent the next level of society, while our system thrives on growing and making industries out of its irresolvabe conflicts" - They are trying to create a different society, though it is hardly a "new" or "next level" one. They are recreating the same type of dynastic society they have had for thousands of years, in a modern setting.

As for us, our system thrives on the assumption that cyclical war/peace, famine/growth, boom/bust creates opportunity for those who survive to innovate the society. Our downsides are that when we entire long periods of peace, growth, and stability we tend to become overly lax and allow our most major economic actors to attempt to warp the system to lock in their dominant positions. If that then settles into a stagnant, stable or regressive economic period where such opportunity is increasingly unavailable, large segments of the population will desire to ditch the system entirely and desire radical change, usually to a strong-man system, such as the one once found in Germany, or currently found in China.
Thank you, Fred.

The amount of misinformation around this issue has been remarkable.

1) No you can't just say "let's spend that $3B on fixing the subway". This money comes from tax rebates. It means that you only get this $3B to give away when you get more tax revenue.

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.

3) This wouldn't have put more strain on the subway. During rush hour, trains to Manhattan are packed, but trains to the outer boroughs are empty. This would have allowed NYC to step away from the high-maintenance hub and spoke model which strains the MTA.

https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/open-letter-new-york-state-...

---

Let's do some back of the envelope math. What's 25k (minimum number of jobs) * 150k (the average salary) * 11% (income tax for NY state + NYC)? 412M. That means that $3B would be paid off from new income taxes alone over ~7 years.

That's not even considering:

- State / city corporate tax

- The new taxable income that would go to local businesses

- The effect it would have on increasing taxable income for other tech workers in the city

So yes - this was still a really good deal.

As people have pointed out to me repeatedly, there's generally a world of difference between the government (with the monopoly on violence) deciding you can / cannot do an activity and individual businesses or consumers deciding not to form a relationship of mutual trust and profit.

Indeed, in the situations where the difference really is too minimal (such as there being no alternatives to do business with in a town because of rampant racism), we pass laws (such as the Civil Rights Act) to compel private actors to cease to bar business based on signal that has been deemed invalid.
Learning Equality | Python & Full-Stack web developers | San Diego | ONSITE (preferred) or REMOTE | Full-time

We’re a cross-disciplinary team who believe in the transformative power of access to education. Our software is open-source, our organization is a non-profit, and our primary beneficiaries are in underserved communities such as rural schools, community centers, and refugee camps all over the world [1].

We are looking for Full Stack engineers to support the development of two open-source, Python- and Javascript-based applications:

- Kolibri [2], our web app which is designed for use in low-resource and low-connectivity contexts. Kolibri is available in dozens of languages, and specially designed to provide access to curated and openly licensed educational content and powerful tools for pedagogical support.

- Kolibri Studio, our cloud-based app which gives users full control over the organization of their educational materials. Using this content curation system, anyone can explore pre-organized libraries of open educational resources, and bundle, tag, differentiate, re-order, and distribute their contents offline as custom channels to Kolibri.

If you care about education and you know your Python and JS, we want to talk to you! Apply at https://grnh.se/dd40b1ab1

People might want to be careful with all these domain names; they might loose them to the proper owner of the trademark or name (in this case w3schools.com).
Shortform | REMOTE | Full-stack Engineer | Full-time / Part-time | $120-200k

https://www.shortform.io/

Do you like reading non-fiction books? Do you find yourself forgetting what you read days later, and feeling like you never absorbed the book's lessons?

Shortform is a book summary product that aims to make ideas actionable. It differs from existing book summary products in 3 major ways:

1) an emphasis on applying the lessons from books, through interactive exercises
2) high-quality summaries, with in-depth chapter by chapter summaries
3) building a community of learners who support each other to apply the lessons from books

Company status: We're in early development. The product roadmap is clear and we're building our engineering team. Shortform is seed-funded by the founder, who has built multiple bootstrapped and profitable companies.

Technology: We haven't finalized the stack but are circulating around Angular/Vue.js/React on frontend, Django/Node.js/Rails on backend. You can help contribute to this decision.

About the role: Ideally you're fullstack on the web, and comfortable on both front-end and back-end. Experience building mobile apps is a plus. Position is remote (current team is in Boston and Chicago). Fulltime / parttime roles available. We're able to pay competitive market salaries (i.e. not decreased by equity).

Email hiring@shortform.io to get more details about the company, our product roadmap, and the role.
I'm an idea guy, but the difference between someone who thinks they're highly intelligent and creative versus someone who is, is the person who filters out actual bad ideas. Which is the majority for any idea guy. Half-witted thoughts sprawled on a napkin was never how I did it. Unfortunately a big filter is that a lot of viable ideas require more capital or business connections than what's readily available to the average person.
Don't abuse command line parameters just to do word splitting. There's at least a dozen obvious ways to do that without leaving your reader guessing what that loop does. Avoid being clever. If you want to change word separators to line separators then just do that (with tr, sed, or some other way) and the purpose will be obvious.

And please be mindful of looping over user supplied data like that. Those things are typically the ones that works fine in test but blow up in production. The environment has a maximum size, and you shouldn't store large amounts of data there.
The democratic republics that score the highest/best in things like quality-of-life, income equality, incarceration rate, crime rate, access to healthcare, life expectancy, etc., all have forms of government where the executive is not elected at all by popular vote, but is instead chosen by the legislature.

The only other countries that have a form of government like the US's (a presidential republic) are ones like El Salvador and Turkey.

Seems like Copyright law is doing more harm than good here. I guess the argument is that these community productions reduce the audience for the Broadway performance. Of that, I'm dubious:

From Massachusetts to Utah, small community theater productions of "To Kill a Mockingbird" are being shut down under threat of a lawsuit by the producer of the new Broadway production.

It doesn't matter that the new version, penned by Aaron Sorkin, is completely different from the Christopher Sergel play that's been performed by high school students and community theater actors for decades. Nor does it matter that the community theaters paid a licensing fee of at least $100 dollars per performance to the Dramatic Publishing Company, which owns the rights to the earlier version of the play.

What matters, lawyers for Broadway producer Scott Rudin say, is that according to the contract between Dramatic and the Harper Lee estate, most amateur performances can't proceed now that a new version of the story is on Broadway.

That 1969 contract, according to the Times, blocks Mockingbird performances within 25 miles of cities that had a population of 150,000 or more in 1960, while a "first-class dramatic play" based on the book is playing in New York or on tour.
