"So you're offering to pay far less than they make off you right now."

I block ads on Facebook web and don't have any of their mobile apps installed, so I can't imagine they're making more money from me than if I paid them to not have any ads.
Ah, they start around $23k here, and available used from fleet use for $12-$13k with 50-60k miles.

> Because it's pretty hard to imagine the CFTC would not have communicated with the NY AG if they had the info about Tether's insolvency

It's also pretty hard to imagine that, in filing their own case, the NY AG would reveal sensitive information about a still-active federal investigation, but that's your apparent theory.

> it's pretty hard to imagine CFTC would allow Tether to continue operations for more than a year if they had evidence of insolvency.

It's pretty easy to imagine that of taking action would in any endanger the ongoing DoJ criminal investigation that it would hold back; it's worth noting that the ongoing law enforcement investigation exemption was among the exemptions CFTC cited in June of last year in declining to provide documents in response to an FOIA request about the Tether-related subpoena.
Because that results in worse candidates due to self-selection - the really good candidates who you want to hire are in demand, know that, and thus would simply refuse to participate in a process that's wasting their time and go interview elsewhere; while the desperate candidates (the very ones you'd want to filter out) will stick through.
If you look at all their research, sure, but then you might as well include all their education too, which muddies it more. They definitely seem to also go for directed advances in specific areas. For example, battery technology. Usually, what's developed isn't something to replace the current best choice for most applications, but sometimes it does have features that make it extremely useful for specific applications (such as a very quick charge or discharge time). Was the university research intended to increase the understanding of the topic overall? Likely. Were they also hoping to develop something they could make some revenue from? Surely.
I think you might be getting them switched around.

Question to VC's
Friend of a friend (security specialist) designed a hardware device (security space) that suddenly attracted attention of multiple government (Europe, UK) as well as law enforcement customers.

They are paying and ordering these devices. He essentially one-man army to order parts, put them together, package and ship. This is slow as is.

He is looking for investment and I can help in $100-$200k range to get things rolling.
I think he discovered interesting niche with lots of potential for expansion.

What is typical to ask for from the VC point of view?
Equity? How much?

Opioid crisis, crushing debt, taking away healthcare from the poor to give to the rich (literally killing people for money) and bankruptcies from healthcare costs and lopsided divorce arrangements. Because of wealth capture of the political process and media, America is simultaneously a paradise for the rich and crushing austerity and wage-slavery for the poor. There's people living rough on the sides of highway embankments because they can't afford housing and killing themselves quickly with opioids because their futures seem so wretched and bleak. It's a third-world country, while many Americans think everything's "great."
Matrox was the easiest card to get working with most anything. I had one in my NeXTSTEP box and it was amazing. I miss something that had such support.
I cringe every single time someone suggests blockchain in our space. Either it's easier with other tech (even public/private key tech doesn't require blockchain), or open to potential leaks/abuse in the future (tracking how everyone voted).

There are a lot of use cases, most even, where it's not a great fit, and there are other, better, approaches.

I still use less & sass on most projects, but it's occurred to me that:

* Duplicating the effect of mixins by just... having another css class for the mixed-in stuff works well enough for many cases (though this hurts most where you're trying for semantic selector naming conventions, with mixins adding in rulesets behind the scenes).

* Nesting selectors save thinking and some typing regarding where styles cascade out to, but... tbh, yanking a high-resolution selector into the buffer and chucking it out onto another line was never a burdensome part of my pre- processor workflow.

* Pretty sure free-use of nested selectors and mixins is trading larger CSS files for developer attention (which may or may not be a valid trade).

* Variables... yeah, they're handy. Search-and-replace only goes so far. IE seems to be the holdup.

For small or disciplined teams with the freedom & skill to really think about their CSS starting from a style-guide-first perspective rather than every-page-a-custom-layout perspective, I can see making the choice to do without. Especially if you've already ditched IE 11 support for other reasons.
I disagree that you need a machine to understand ethics for FSD to come to fruition. Most humans would not be making ethical decisions in split second emergency situations.

If humans are driving around somewhat successfully without being able to handle all edgecases, as long as the a machine can do as good a job or better it is a viable alternative to human drivers.
Western Samoa caught up in cryptocurrency scam
> I'm sure Elastic never saw that one coming

That's ridiculous. Of course they were keenly aware that they could be competed with with the free software they put out.

They just hoped that no significant competitor would risk upsetting the balance of the open source community, or that they could at least make good money until someone did.

In the meantime, they selfishly avoided licensing with GPLv3 (which would have reinforced the things you care about) because it would have decreased their revenue (which is the thing they care about).
The accusations were quite substantiated, his defense was about as laughable as 'my baby brother did it'.

Yes, my first experience with a graphics card was a matrox G400. I still have it in fact.

I still have a soft spot for matroxes for their sheer boringness. They did the job well and... that was that. Utterly reliable. Most kinds of tech should be totally boring. Yay for dull.

Servers I've used, I think dell, claimed to come with G200 matroxes built in but they seemed totally to lack any hardware acceleration so it seemed to be pure software rendering, painfully slow and watching video was not possible. Someone elsewhere here said they were for IPMI use which makes sense. They made rotten desktops machines until you gave them a proper card.

Should anyone quite reasonably wonder why I'd use a server as a workstation, they are reliable (read: so boring). Once I get them working they almost never play up.

There is no auditing whether he sold all his keys in the physical world. They may never have "transacted" on the blockchain, but that does not mean he never just gave away the ability to transact them physically.

He may also have taken out a loan from a traditional financial institution and used them as collateral.

There is a very real possibility that they are in fact owned by someone else now, who has made the same exact calculation you have - they are a valuable asset that has exactly zero liquidity.
I’ve worked in that environment as well. One of the problems is it’s a rollercoaster. You crash as soon as the emergency is over and you get nothing done until the next emergency. You just mentally shutdown. So now the quality of work when there is an emergency is shit because you’re rushing and the quality of work when there isn’t an emergency is shit because you’re recharging for the next emergency. Average output goes down even though peak output has gone up but the boss loves to see people putting in the long hours on his way out the door for a round of golf.

A really simple way to improve the UI is to just add some margins on the right and left of the page. It's very off putting to have meaningful content butted up against the absolute edges. Not sure why this is, but I really hate interacting with gitlab because of it. Hope that helps.
The people who invented the tech (US/Europe/Japan) optimised it for consumers around them.

If darker skinned people had invented it, or had been a richer consumer group things would have been different - to think otherwise you'd have to think greedy capitalists would give up piles of cash to be racist.

Why hate on inventors who create something cool just because it doesn't quite work as well for all groups of people?

Surely this also left a gap in the market - someone could have optimized film for darker skin tones and made a lot of money?
“Since 2014, these intrusions have been happening on a regular basis,” Joseph Gradisher, spokesman for the deputy chief of naval operations for information warfare, told the Washington Post on Wednesday.

There are many products that integrate with GitLab, see https://about.gitlab.com/partners/ There are not as many as GitHub since more is part of GitLab itself. But we're open to supporting anything, even if it competes with GitLab functionality.

Regarding the example you gave for wanting Code Climate. GitLab has similar functionality as a part of the product, it is called code quality and is based on Code Climate engines, see https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/code_... for more information.
A lot of the administration problems had to do with internal communication problems in the department and university, and severe budget shortfalls (in part due to state politics). You could say it was climate or culture as well, but to me the primary issues were communication problems, mostly due to personal, private interactions superceding formal, transparent, public processes and discussion, coupled with a failure of people in administrative positions to recognize what was happening and respond appropriately. Where I was at, the atmosphere went from one of mutual respect and encouragement when I started, to one where there was constant mutual hostility and distrust, fueled by these sorts of "shadow" power structures that don't communicate with one another. My experiences by the end were kind of similar to what was described in the piece that's the focus of this thread, but involving different groups of faculty rather than faculty and students, and with everything, not just teaching.

I think if family considerations had not entered the picture I still probably would have stayed, or at least would have stayed long enough to leave for another university, but with the ongoing problems in the university and department, it was sort of the straw that broke the camel's back.
I actually posted this during a change management meeting. I was required to be there despite my portion of the meeting being 10 minutes of the hour. There are varying descriptions of "work", but my day usually lines up like so:

4:30am wake up
5:30 leave
6 arrive at the office
6-9 heads down coding
9-11 status, project, and various other meetings and help/administrative work
11-12 take lunch at the desk while I code
12-2 any follow up various other meetings
2-6 more code/tech work

Or course Im not 100% utilized. Nobody is. If I were to work 8, I would have no time to actually work on the project I have deliverables due on. Meetings are toxic, but also necessary, and Im manager and technical in this role so I have to split my time. Saturdays I usually get a solid 8-10 hours of work in with few interruptions.

I don't feel badly at all for posting here during billing hours, and if anything my invoices are conservative on real hours worked.
How do you use this and not allow for anyone with access to the block chain to also have access to all medical records? How do you secure this data without also securing the block chain access itself? How do you provide this security without effectively losing the usefulness of the block chain in general?

>Could you elaborate on how you got to the conclusion that adding types in Perl 6 slows things down?

I was playing around with adding types to everything in my program. Creating kind of a little Haskell style script. I was sad when it ran slower than it did without the types. Someone informed me that that is the expected outcome because (as you said) type checking is done at run time.
Hi, undergrad here. That is to say, I’m not anything close to an expert in web design, but just in the course of making a simple static website to show recruiters I realized a lot of lessons like these about how modern HTML/CSS/JS can really handle anything you throw at it without having to worry about frameworks or precompilers. Sure, Bootstrap and SASS helped get a prototype up fast, but I feel like that gain in productivity was wasted once I had to fight the framework for the fine details, and just writing what I wanted in vanilla-land ended up writing out the frameworks as a byproduct.

Is this a common pattern in industry as well?

Are you trying to claim that someone would buy Satoshi's coins without moving them to a wallet they control?

In this scenario, the person would have 'purchased' the coins with precisely zero assurance that Satoshi wouldn't just move them to a new address at any point, as he/she/they still have the private keys.

Lessons learned from sovereign debt crises: don't defend the peg. Let it float now, it will hurt more if you defend it all the way to insolvency. Devaluation is better than forced debt restructuring or full bankruptcy.

"Defy the known laws of physics" is thrown about a lot. But usually means "If what we are seeing is a self-contained vehicle, it exceeds reasonable assumptions about manoeuvring envelopes for known technologies."

The "laws of physics" are pretty wide. There are many kinetic phenomena, entirely consistent with them, whose dynamics can't be filmed even at thousands of frames per second. There are all kinds of potential optical and electromagnetic effects (whether natural or intentional) that could show essentially arbitrary scale and motion.

"Def[ies] the known laws of physics", is a good sign your imagination is too narrow, or your understanding of physics too small.

How to Run FreedomBox as a VirtualBox VM
If you don't need what gitlab/github or for that matter Azure Devops, offers... using bare remote repos over SSH+FS might just be a better approach. All you need is an SSH server with file system access behind it.
I doubt the chip matters nearly as much as the trained network running on it. It’s quite likely they could take the network and run it on other hardware.

And the trained network doesn’t matter as much as the training pipeline, which will include hardware and software external to the cars.

A neural net that you can’t update is less useful, and I highly doubt that the cars themselves are doing any learning.
Interest rate risk isn't a huge deal for issuers when rates are this low - not much room for rates to fall. And even if it did become significant, the futures market has very effective tools for hedging various kinds of interest rate risk.

>Additionally, don’t you think it’s true that companies are issuing debt to buy back their own stock, which they then intentionally overpay for in order to drive up the stock price?

Stock buybacks are replacing dividends for tax reasons - they both make the overall value of publicly traded shares lower by giving cash to shareholders. Dividends trigger income tax by replacing share price with cash in hand, while buybacks reduce the publicly traded float at the same price and only triggers capital gains for the shareholders who wish to sell into the buyback.
> I honestly have never seen the value in pre-processors when writing CSS.

As mentioned, theming and consistent ux requires far less writing and copy paste with a preprocessor than in pure CSS.

I think React's approaches make CSS feel simpler but often just sweep the inefficiencies under the rug.

A lot of this is being fixed with CSS4, so these will go the way of jQuery. And while you don't need jQuery today, it served as an important polyfill for a long time.

Thanks for writing this explanation for how you use DRI. It’s the first time I’ve read about it that went into detail how it supports collaboration and consensus. A few times in the past I’ve tried to explain and ran into problems with the criticism that DRI means authoritarianism. It didn’t help that Jobs was a bigger user of the term.
First, I just want to say that I use Dart pretty regularly now and enjoy the language. I don't want to come across as overly negative; Dart is a solid language that's made web programming a lot more fun for me. So thank you, and everyone else on the Dart team for the hard work!

I just want to address these lines:

> Thousands of successful applications and a billions of lines of UI code have been written in object oriented languages.

> More code is written in languages doing subclassing every day than in languages with sum types. Despite the fact that sum types have been around since the 70s. You have to have a very uncharitable opinion of all of your fellow programmers to believe they've all been getting this wrong for decades.

I agree that there's a huge amount of code out there using subclassing and not sum types. I'm not disputing the utility of subclassing; I just think the analogy to arithmetic is compelling, in that a closed sum type is a more primitive notion than open ended subclassing. It's easier to describe what a sum type is than what a subclass is; sum types have a smaller impact on a type system than subclassing. Pretty much any metric you can think of, sum types are just simpler, and more widely applicable. Any time you are describing a data structure, an ADT is immediately useful; subtyping may or may not be useful and is always more complicated. It's very difficult for me to understand how anyone could possibly say subtyping is on the same level as a basic operation like addition. Subclassing may or may not be nice but sum types are a primitive in a way that subclassing simply cannot be.

I don't know how to break it down more than this: we already have multiplication of types, and everyone accepts this as a primitive. Well, you can also do addition of types! Multiplication, addition, a neat little pair, just like algebra class[0]. Subclassing is way more complicated than this. That's it, that's a bullet proof argument as far as I'm concerned.

I suppose I do have an uncharitable opinion of mainstream programming languages, because I do think they've been getting this wrong for decades. It's nothing personal, it's just that industry has other concerns besides how clean their languages are. My browser being written in C++ is not an argument in favor of subclassing, though. You can build anything out of toothpicks if you're paid enough.
