Bootstrap, right? Site looks a little generic. But it's better to have a functional site than no site at all, so bootstrap was probably the right choice for rapid development. Now you just gotta customize it.

I'm involved in content marketing myself, and I could see some use for a tool like this. But from what I can tell on the website, this is information content marketers already have ... it's just not all in the same spot. That's the benefit you'll wanna drive home in the copy: Save time by combining facebook insights, google analytics, and wordpress dashboard in one simple report. Or did I characterize your product?
+1 for being honest. Nobody likes taxes, I don't either. But you are right: Taxes that increase with income have positive effects on society itself. We had one of the most well balanced societies in the world, as I think, because we have (or better: had) a taxation system that favored little incomes. Since our system changed in favor to the rich, our society begins to erode.

The countries with the luckiest people in Europe are those with the highest taxation. The reason is, that a brought middle-class of people exist.

You could really say, that taxation (that increases with income) is good for society, since differences are leveled out and middle-class is more likely to establish.
Of course many Americans number in the 3.5 billion most poor people on earth.

Source?

The actual data on this appears likely to refute your claim:

Yes, that’s right: America’s poorest are, as a group, about as rich as India’s richest. [1]

That's at least the better part of a billion right there America's poor are wealthier than in India. According to the graph in the article, America's poorest are also wealthier than nearly all of China (1.3 billion officially, 1.5 billion unofficially), and 2/3 of Brazil. Not including the rest of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.

100,000,000,000 dogecoin will be mined total (one hundred billion)

32.32%(!) of that has already been mined. That's 32,323,788,534 dogecoin.

26 million is .08% of all dogecoins that have been mined.
Such wow.
See the discussion on the Rust subreddit for a more thorough discussion of the caveats in the Rust implementation:

http://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1vnrp8/chinese_whisper...

The most salient quote from Daniel Micay (strncat):

"It doesn't demonstate a pattern you would use in Rust. Rust tasks aren't a substitute for generators/iterators and they're not around as a control flow feature."
It seems to me that it's now inevitable (for better or for worse) that Dogecoin will become the bronze to Litecoin's silver, or in other words 3rd highest valued cryptocurrency.
It still is. Can you name a single business that accepts it other than the exchanges? (And there's probably a few, but nobody knows them).

Of course, doesn't mean it will stay that way, though I have a hard time believing it will ever lose its joke status.

I think the issue is this. In the first case you are attempting to pass judgement on the actions a person may or may not take based on their race. in your example, commit a crime, which is an unjust judgement of that person's character.

In the second case it is an example of how society will affect you based on your race, outside of the personal actions of that person. The sentence makes no judgment on that person's character.
It is fairly an honest title. The guy talk only about that feature, use original content, talk about something available for free which he most likely does not have an immediate interest.

There is a little bit of exaggeration in the title to attract people. That's how you drive traffic to your site. And let's be honest, if the guy was driving traffic that way to the startup he founded, people would have much recommendation about much less honest strategies.
The exchange rate took a hit as the 26MM was sold off for Bitcoins, but it has since bounced back. In the last 24 hours, there have been 7MM USD worth of transactions in Dogecoins, more than any cryptocurrency except Bitcoin.
Don't worry about segmenting the list at first, and don't worry about people being angry about email. They will either just delete it, or unsubscribe. If you have ideas for three checkboxes, that means you have ideas for at least three email topics/categories! Don't waste these as filters; use them to send more email to keep your list interested.

There may be some value to the checkboxes, in that they offer a preview of what's available to subscribers. For example the OP's checkbox "Mastering Your Finances/Cash Flow" is a nice teaser. But you could easily just make this a bulleted list for the same benefit.
> None of those features matter if you're of the opinion that conditionals, loops, and functions don't belong in the styling system.

I think the terminology doesn't convey the right idea. A SASS function is more akin to a macro that saves you a lot of typing and gives flexibility in writing CSS. At the end the result is plain styling instructions, no more no less, and thus it has no functional similarity with a js function parsed, loaded and executed at runtime.

And yes, preprocessing doesn't belong to the styling system, and it doesn't need to, as you use it a level above (it would be meta-styling I guess).
> But is it a iron law of nature, or just a thing that goes on until it doesn't?

Of course it's not a law of nature. I don't understand the way of thinking that leads to considering this (or Moore's law, to bring up another particularly common example) as a law. Inductive reasoning, "it has always been like this, thus it always will be" is not science. One needs to understand casual relationships that give rise to the supposed "law" before asserting that future will look like the past.

I don't think that looking at particular industries being automated is very helpful. I'd like to propose a different model: let's put available jobs in a continuum from low-skill to high-skill (in creativity/cognitive load) jobs. In this model we see how technology continues to automate-away lower-skill jobs, climbing up the hill of difficulty.

In the past, surplussed workers could find other jobs, because the way we automated things was also low-skill; therefore for every lost trade, new ones were created in its place. But the same technological progress that allows us to automate more and more difficult jobs is upgrading the process of automation. There are less and less low-skill jobs produced per low-skill job automated, and the moment we reach the point when this ratio (automated/new) is > 1, surplussed workers will be increasingly unable to get themselves employed. (Mind you, this is not inductive reasoning, there is a good casual model underneath explaining why this is happening, but I think it's obvious enough that I don't need to elaborate on it now).

There's one type of jobs that are, and I believe will be for some time, exempt from the "march of progress" - jobs that require human element. Those are jobs like receptionists in hotels, doctors, psychologists - who we can connect with on emotional/trust based level. I'd personally bet that those jobs are safer than, say, tech sector, which will get automated away eventually if the progress continues.
Do you think the same is true of property and casualty insurance?

AAP, police clash at Delhi dharna
Good question, but if they mean the first part only then calling it a postcode would be rather sloppy (this ought really to be called a postcode area or district[1]).

On a similar note, it seems ludicrous to provide a full date of birth rather than the year alone.

I actually wouldn't be averse to that, but it'd be hard to internationally coordinate such a change (and it would have to be internationally coordinated, or corporations would move to the places that had the lowest corporation tax while their owners would move to the places that had the lowest dividend tax). And there's still the problem of keeping your wealth in a corporation and avoiding paying tax on it until you use it (which creates the wrong incentive - we want to encourage rich investors to spend the money and put it back into the system, or at least invest in new ventures, rather than leaving it in their company's bank account accumulating compound interest).
The key take away for me is, far too much of the world's population is beyond the reach of those who may/would help them. So many people are in the state they are in because of defective governments that run the countries they live in.

This wealth disparity is more of a geographical disparity, where you live matters a whole lot towards whether you will ever have wealth.

I just cannot feel upset about the fact that 85 people equal half the world when its far more than half the world that these 85 can probably never help because of rulers or lack thereof where these people live

Why are central banks in such a hurry to declare Bitcoin "not a currency"? It's like governments declaring in early 90's that the Internet is not a venue for commerce, or something like that. My guess is they have their own ulterior motives.

I really don't like Bitcoin being named a commodity because that means it could be taxed VAT. Getting taxed VAT just for receiving Bitcoin is pretty ridiculous . It's one thing to be taxed VAT for the products being sold for Bitcoin, and quite another to tax both Bitcoin and the product you're buying itself with VAT.
Dogecoin has surpassed Litecoin's transaction volume in USD for the last two days. It's still finding its place in the world, and it's possible that place isn't 3rd.
What's going on in this thread is people saying, "Thank goodness we aren't Society B, Society A really is better". I don't think anyone would prefer A over C, but A is clearly attainable and we are getting there- so let's celebrate our victories moving towards A, where everyone has enough, and then worry about getting to C instead of trying to take a shortcut. Because the benefits of everyone having enough are much higher priority than everyone having the same.
Wow. Fractional reserve lending is "innovative"? That is hilarious, absurd, and unnerving at the same time. An entity literally creates money out of thin air, and then loans that made up nothing at interest? That is "innovative"? More like criminal.

Oh right, and then said entity can't actually allow 10% of all withdraws on itself else it is called a "run" on the banks and they close their doors.

What sort of innovation do you see here other than a banking cartel that completely controls the money supply?

Comments like yours make me sick because it shows the brainwashing the banking cartel has implemented is complete from the bottom up and unifying; you now have people like you strutting around calling criminal activity innovative.

When banks create money it is innovative, when the little guy creates money, it is counterfeiting. Pull your head out of the banking cartels ass for a second, and take a breath of fresh air.

DoorBot – Not Ready for Prime Time
Having actually worked on McD's kitchen tech, the corporation is extremely specific about their technology design including the amount of repair calls allowed per machine per year.

I can guarantee this machine would never make that metric. And I'd really like to see what this machine looks like after making 40 burgers, much less 400 or 4000. 40,000? Forget it.

Cooking and handling animal protein is a very messy job. Letting semi-skilled workers load raw beef into a hopper? That's a non-starter right there for a company like McDonald's.

This is an interesting development as there's an clash between the state govt run by the newly elected AAP (Short for the People's party) and the central govt of India. The CM is protesting against police inaction (Delhi police is under Central govt. which is in contrast to other states in the country) against an alleged prostitution racket.

This is the first time I have seen something like this happen in Delhi

The point is to implement gradually. For example, in the concepts covered in part 1, multiple parents was not required, hence it was left. It should make sense to the reader why something was implemented and why it does what it does.

Its concepts might apply to other VCS. But that is immaterial, Git is what we are trying to understand here.

Agreed. I also found it particularly odd that Jobs essentially covers the almost exact same timespan that Pirates did, even though they had another decade of material to work with.

Pirates is definitely the better of the two for a plethora of reasons.
It's eminently possible, if not likely, that the way the future will actually unfold differs from our current predictions (on HN, or elsewhere).

However, you work with what you've got. If our best model for the future involves the progressive automation of all human labour - it makes sense to at least theorize (if not plan) for that eventuality.

If the situation turns out to not be dire - great - but you plan for the worst, as the axiom goes.
You're assuming Go programmers will just write out the duplicate code rather than exploring alternatives. This doesn't seem to be what actually happens. Code written in Go isn't as concise as some languages, but it seems to have more to do with error-checking. I suspect we aren't seeing it because built-in types like slices and maps are already generic and people tend not to use fancier collections unless they're really needed.

The comparison, while similar is not an fair one. I would call it intellectually dishonest comparison, but I am going to try give it the benefit of the doubt.

Free condom dispenser is quite minor, with a clear benefit. A black only hospital would however be a bit different. Most countries made away with such concept a life time ago, yet we do all-girls classes/schools.

There was also a new article a few days ago about grants given exclusively to female students. To compare that to the medical world, that is like giving gay people free HIV treatment, while demanding full price of people with different sexual orientation (resulting in some of those getting sub-optimal or no treatment plans). Would it be acceptable for government to make such policy?
I use it already. Sometimes. But every time I use it, I think I do something wrong. Why I use it? Because my changes are more as one commit, because I mess another changes not related to my actually unit of work.

But if I didn't has git add -p, in svn for example, I create a patch and revert not related changes, commit, apply patch again. git add -p is just convient/useful shortcut and not mega-power-answer to all problem nor sources of problems.
:nth-child() could be considered a form of a loop, a bit restricted loop though. You're looping through a collection and altering certain items in the collection based on a criteria.

One argument that is on the edge: Lennart often takes controversial decisions, and in the case of systemd, he refuses portability patches that would allow systemd to run on other unixes than Linux (BSD, Hurd, etc).

Since debian is supposed to be universal (hence, support alternative Unix kernels), choosing systemd barely means that they will have to drop this trait of the distribution.
> I wonder if we're really that close to the end of jobs, or if we are just suffering from a lack of imagination.

Maybe, but I personally believe that people saying that we don't have to worry about that suffer from the lack of imagination - the very same kind as the one that leads some to say things like "we can't / won't be able to do that". If there's one thing last 100 years of progress have proved, it is that we can do pretty much everything as long as we care about it strongly enough.

Some people warn against believing in power of technology too much; I say people believe in it too little.

This statement should be seen as there's no way to scale the old block layer to new devices. To current SSDs, its already useful, in that it decreases latency and CPU usage for current generation of drives.

It's currently only enabled using the virtioblk driver. But there's work underway to make the scsi layer and all the others drivers use it (already patches out for the mtip and nvme driver).
I'm pretty sure the point of the article is to learn about how to use git by implementing its basic functionality. The point isn't to implement how git works.

On a side note, I'm always amazed when someone implements things that are complicated to me in a really understandable ways.
Actually, there's nothing to coordinate in setting your corporation tax to zero, but you'd likely incrementally increases dividend taxes.
I heard the internals of the Scala compiler are really ugly and there isn't a true spec for why it does some of the things it does. So it might be hard to just make it match what the existing compiler does, because it's defined by it's implementation and it's hard to understand?

I'm in France actually and used to live in Paris; but even there $5k (before company taxes, health care etc) we could not sustain our family.

In 2010, my wife and I (+ 1 kid, later 2) relocated to a rural place of France (north of Bordeaux), to improve the quality of life (more time with kids, nicer weather, nice countryside, cheaper houses) and to bootstrap a product.

Here our "required company income" per year (before taxes, excluding VAT, before healthcare etc) is 45k€ (approx $60,000, so $5k/mo), based on the last 3 years of historical data.

I use this feature of WiseCash to make sure we're on time with the revenue:

https://www.wisecashhq.com/blog/track-your-income-exceed-you...

About risk: since my wife and I are fairly risk averse, we're actually managing to increase savings as we go, despite bootstrapping.

I have no idea how much life cost in rural places of the US, that said! Is it possible to feed a family in a very rural place with $5k?

On the numbers, I think more businesses accept dogecoin than bitcoin. And the volume of dogecoin transactions exceeded bitcoin transactions the other day. The transactions and businesses are smaller.

All cryptocurrency is 'joke status' to a certain extent with the vast majority of people. Personally, I think it'd be genuinely funny for dogecoin to grow to be the most popular and valuable cryptocurrency.
There is nothing wrong with squeezing maximum profits out of business, assuming it doesn't create negative externalities. Justification of this practice is found in the fundamental welfare theorems of economics, which state that an algorithm for maximizing total wellbeing is to let the free market work, and only intervene by redistributing income (under a more realistic set of assumptions, the government should also provided many services).

I consider the responsibility of maximizing shareholder value to be a moral one primarily. If people invested their money in a company, it's not for the management to decide that actually they investors don't need that much return on their investment.
