Easy answer: Ganga-Bramhaputra delta (I do not know what they call it in Bangladesh).

To get a perspective: look at the map of egypt and map of their population density. Half the country is pretty much in Nile Delta and most of the rest is along Nile.
* There's no need for a tradeoff. We could just have a method of payment that gives less of your information to merchants.

* You can't 'opt-in' to 'various escrow or risk-absorbing systems'. That's because these services simply do not exist at this moment at Bitcoin-land. They may well never exist or be supported by merchants. You're comparing a non-existing theoretical model against real-world working stuff.

* Unfortunately, elder fraud is too rife where I live. The scammers call the elderly person, convince him/her to buy various utterly useless stuff like a rock to scare away tigers. This is almost never done in person, but by phone, and they use credit card details. At least there, there's some hope of chargebacks and a record of the transaction. Removing even those limited restraints... that's not what we need.
Sort of. Rust procedural macros are powerful, but they’re basically glorified code generation: they take a list of tokens as input and return a list of tokens as output. They don’t have access to type information. For that you need to use a combination of the trait system and `const fn`, to which the C++ equivalent is templates and `constexpr`. But C++ `constexpr` is currently way ahead of Rust `const fn` in functionality. And while Rust’s trait system tends to be nicer than C++’s templates for most purposes, it’s not as good at performing arbitrary computations. Overall, when I use either language I find myself badly missing features from the other. I look forward to seeing both close the gap…
Pointers, linked lists, and trees are fundamental concepts. Even though many CS programs have moved away from C and C++ for their intro-level courses, there is still a need to teach how dynamically-allocated data structures are implemented in memory. Even if beginning CS students are not exposed to pointers in their first or second CS class, they will be exposed to pointers eventually in many CS programs, either when they take a course on basic computer organization and assembly, or when they take a course on systems programming.

Also, Stanford's guides are very well written. I remember learning pointers from these guides when I was learning C nearly 15 years ago as a high school senior. I still have the copy of K&R that I bought back then; it is very worn out now.

Property is an investment, not a consumer expense. Outside of a few limited areas there is plenty of rental housing available, and rents are fully included in the CPI calculation.

Historically HE was rather expensive as they focused on selling bulk colocation to people who partitioned their cabinets and sold downstream. It's these providers that you normally need to find, but the easier they are to find the more expensive. For years I colocated with prgmr.com, but it seems they've stopped offering colocation--it can be a headache managing a bunch of single-machine colocation customers. I've used 2 or 3 others before prgmr.com but forgot which ones.

The $400 deal looks incredibly good. They don't specify how much power you get, though. (Maybe it's mentioned elsewhere?) Power is usually the most expensive part of colocation, excluding "remote hands" hourly rates.

Why Computer Animation Looks So Darn Real (2012)
Ah yes, when the only two languages that mattered were C and perl :-).

I find it helpful to maintain perspective with "CS" then and now. Many older engineering professions have a 'base class' (to abuse the phrase) and then many sub-classes. For example, there are the basics for Electrical Engineering, but then there are generally specialization areas where people can spend their entire careers (RF, Power, Digital Logic, Electromagnetics, etc).

And back at the turn of the century there was pretty much only one "CS" discipline, it was heavy on math, data structures, and language and systems design. The more informal sub-areas were probably OS programming (often called Systems programming), language design, and "Data processing" (which subsumes data base design and use). We have since added many more, networks, web applications, and embedded systems to name a few.

We also have "trade" programmers (some folks call them 'CRUD'[1] programmers but that seems a bit derogatory to me) that is more closely associated to Electricians than say Electrical Engineers. They play a vital role in businesses everywhere but realistically don't need all the Math and such that typical CS programs require to do a good job.

I wish that MyFonts has a better way to "test-drive" the font. When writing some small snippets of code, I wansn't exactly sure if it would work well.

Ended up purchasing it, and I must say, it's really fun to use! I find that it makes it easier to go from "focus mode" to "overview mode": it's very readable, but since it looks less blocky than most monospace fonts, I find it easier to navigate larger blocks of code.

I might not use it all the time, but this will keep me smiling for a while!
A dismissive cynical attitude helps no one. Sure, some perhaps many, people are corrupt and exercise power given to them for wrong ends. Nevertheless, at large, people want law enforcement, they want stolen goods returned to them, they want criminals to be stopped. You have better suggestion to maintain law and order?
One better: I have my caps-lock key mapped to control, then use the ControlEscape "spoon"[1] for Hammerspoon[2] to allow it to also be an ESC key. The insight is that "control" is held, but "esc" is momentary, allowing these functions to be overlaid. It works great, nary a hiccup.

Way beyond "fixing" the Touch Bar's lack of ESC, this is far and away my preferred usage now.

They forgot how to make money. 2018 was an exception because they profited from a massive tax cut. They went right back to losing money.
I wonder if that happens. Some hiring processes are flawed so they filter out the better candidates at the HR levels and the engineers filter out the candidates who are left over. This can go on for a long time until the company is so understaffed they hire anyone and it works out..
Hm. It does not appear to be a flame war, but I do not know the algo.
We do. We've had a great experience moving our front-facing website to it after self-hosting on Digital Ocean. Not a single issue to date (that wasn't self-inflicted), and less time spent dealing with infrastructure.
Okay, I'll email and see what happens.

I also note, that this question was also nerfed.
> I don't know either, and I am no expert, but it sounds like Github/Microsoft lawyers may have decided it on one side or the other.

I think they've realized that the argument that they are a commercial publisher is quite strong. Thus they are not eager to challenge it and wind up heavily fined for sactions-busting. Especially since Microsoft is a significant supplier to US government entities.
I do not believe that screen would be compatible. If you look through their store, certain parts are specifically labeled as for Pro/not compatible with the original Pinebook. Posts in their forums imply that they will be supplying parts in their store that will be the higher quality Pro parts, including an ANSI keyboard.

The warning about dead pixels did scare me a bit at first, but I wound up taking the plunge anyway based on the price and other reports of Pinebook screens being fine. The free (for early adopters/forum users) upgrade to 128GB eMMC will offset the cost of swapping to an ANSI keyboard.

I cannot comment on the reasons, why's or whatnot of this particular issue, but I do wonder about the outcry of "not having access to download the repo"?

I mean, aside from maybe not having any forks (because you can fork another repo to your repo, but not do anything with it - so you may not have a copy) - your stuff should reside on your local box, right?

Unless you've been editing everything in the repo using the editors provided by github, or some other similar service, and never did a git clone of your own repo?

That is - you were using git...well, I can't say "wrong", but maybe "wrong-ish"...?
Wait, the gain relative to USD is only reportable when you sell the pesos (to convert them back to USD, or to CHF or BTC or whatever). Is using a currency to purchase a good a "sale"? Would you incur capital gains tax on the USD-converted value of the car you had bought using the pesos?
This! I found Mr Robot not on the same level as Sopranos. Maybe this sounds stupid but I watch Sopranos once a year. Mr Robot was awesome the first time but cut to many corners to be intriguing in follow up sessions.
SaaS means all customers get our new features and on our schedule, not theirs (note: we sell a SaaS). We would never freeze an old "version" because that would cost us too much to maintain (edit: we do freeze in short term, we don't in long term).

We still add "bloat" features because we are trying to sell to new customers. On the flip side, customers do get new features that are useful to them without the price of their subscription changing.

If we froze features, and only fixed bugs (and browser compatibility), customers would eventually drift away over the long term because they do need some new features.
Misleading title. A more accurate title would be "Github block accounts of Iranain nationals to comply with US trade embargo"

I think it’s here to stay, too, and thankfully the main issue with it is fixable: the lack of tactile feedforward/feedback. If the display had little grooves to separate the controls and used the same 100% convincing fake button travel used in the trackpad, I think it would be an excellent enhanced fn key row. You need to be able to rest your finger lightly on a key without pressing it. (The same needs to happen with smartphones/tablets too, fwiw)
Glad I sold at the peak and made sure that my accountant filed the appropriate gains paperwork.
I'd say that depends very much on who decides who deserves what.

Justice is inherently malleable and subjective. It's a thing we humans (as a society) decide to do to one another. As far as I can tell, it tends to lag the scales we're operating at.

Sure, and falsified all the votes? The Crimean parliament proclaimed sovereignty against their will and so was the Ukrainian navy chief forced to switch allegiance?

When it comes to the reasons behind sanctions, there's no need to correct me, because I wrote just that: that the international reactions were a response to, in the words of the sanctioning countries, international law being violated (as if that had not happened before, see the Kosovo case), and namely the principle of territorial integrity. All I'm saying is that sanctions targetting the people who expressed their will in the referendum are counter-productive. If there were people left in Crimea, who still haven't made their mind up whose umbrella Crimea would be best off under (though comparing the mayhem state Crimea was left in after the Ukrainian rule and the investments going on there since 2014 – I doubt there are many), then acts like this will surely make them anti-American, not anti-Kremlin. This was my point.

The legality of the Crimean referendum might be an interesting question for lawyers or political scientists (especially the double standards observed in the rhetoric of the US and its satellite states). Or for us, not living there. For the people who voted in the referendum and have seen their lives improve as a result of their vote – it just doesn't matter. And that's the reality some should accept, while rejecting it leads to sloppy analysis of issues like the one discussed in this very post.
I agree with you, but "My effective tax rate is 2000%" is a huge stretch. No, you got taxed 20% when you generated the income. Just because the place-you-keep-your-money blew up doesn't increase your "effective" tax rate or any other. It's a you problem if your mattress-full-of-cash burns down, or your bank goes out of business, or whatever -- you were taxed at the time you generated the income, and if you didn't set the money aside at the time, that's not the government's problem. You can't really say they're increasing your tax rate.
Yeah. Write by hand, send by snail mail, takes a week for a reply.

No thanks. If my writing were turned into a font, it would be called Illegibilissimus. Keyboard for me whenever possible.

I even do my math with a keyboard using Macdown and Moeditor in real time. Don't even write by hand then.
> And the only "commercial activity" in this case is if GitHub earns some advertising money from the data collection about its user from Crimea.

And Crimea users can use github as a tool in their commercial endeavors, and military and government applications.

> just like Kosovo, votes of which were even militarily supported by the U.S.

You make things up, Kosovo voted 10 years after US operation, when was under observation of UN peacekeepers which were located there by UN security council resolution (Russia voted for that too).
> Could this be used to protect them against having to implement sanctions against various countries if they don't actually know where their users are from?

No. That you don't know where an export-restricted good is going when you sell it or give it to someone is not an excuse. If you gave them the stuff and they take it somewhere embargoed, it's still on you for supplying the goods.

I will bet good money that a court will not be impressed by your deliberate choices to avoid being capable of meeting your obligations under the law. That's the sort of clever hack that makes judges quite angry, rather than the sort that makes them go "You got us!".

You are taxed as if you sold the BTC and immediately bought your boat with the proceeds of the BTC sale.
What about setting up partial compensation on a sliding scale? If my rent+bills+other fixed expenses is X% of my income, I could just take as much as cash as will pay for that and take out the rest of the 1-X% in crypto

That said, unless there are tax implications of paying/getting paid in BTC that cause you to e.g. not realize gains, it's really no different than just paying the employee in all cash and letting them purchase as much crypto as they want with it.

It has a lot to do with the Asian diet, this includes India and Pakistan too.

Most people in those countries do not consume large amount of meat, massively reducing their need for large amount of agricultural land.

Soil fertility is just part of the equation, does not explain Egypt, Pakistan and a multitude of other countries.

This applies to any forex. If you're in the US, but you buy a coffee using CAD somewhere near the border, you have to keep track of that transaction and report it as a cap gain (or loss if you want).

Maybe the rich old baddies are using Bitcoin to evade taxes.
Yeah; to me this is the thing that is so strange: removing the function keys? OK, I get it. I used to use the function keys a lot 25 years ago, but I think I haven't used them once in over a decade (note: I mean "as function keys", as opposed to "as media control keys"). But removing the escape key? That key is still being used by a lot of people and software, and I don't just mean us console editor people :/.

The Press Release links to the article.

Like most papers in the field, they mined data and found some correlations, then wrapped a sketchy narrative around it. I wouldn't place too much emphasis on findings like these and actual mechanistic functionality of psychiatric disorders.

Agreed, its analogous to being paid $10k and immediately buying BTC.

I agree with the spirit of what you said, however I would upgrade T-Mobile in that analysis. They're a beast of a competitor without Sprint, and they're slow-stomping both AT&T and Verizon. Grinding gains persistently year after year.

They're adding millions of customers per year in the US, nearly all of which are being stolen from the competition. AT&T and Verizon are sitting on stagnant wireless businesses, while T-Mobile keeps getting bigger.

Operating income hit $5.4 billion last year (up 100% in three years).

$72 billion market cap, up from persistently losing money and worth just $10 billion seven years ago.

Without Sprint they're on their way to a $120-$150 billion market cap and $10 billion in operating income in the next five years or so. And there's nothing AT&T & Verizon could do to stop it.
