You should definitely do backups.

But I'm pretty sure that in the vast majority of outages you'll suffer with gmail you won't have the time to recover you're backup before the service is back up.

That said, you should definitely do backups. It's just that it wouldn't have helped in this case.

Excel is a much larger problem than PowerPoint. Not only it costs millions in eventual errors, it also impedes low-hanging-fruit automation that should be there -- Suzy from HR should be used to something like Mathematica for _everything_, and the finance staff should be interfacing with SAS/Stata for the large datasets.

No; cynicism is intellectual and moral laziness. It allows you to distill a complex world to a simplified negative caricature that justifies not making an effort yourself (or makes your efforts seem more extraordinary than warranted).

My personal counter anecdote: 2 weeks ago, I lost my camera (with a nice new lens on it) in the subway. Worth more than $700. Everyone I told said almost the same thing: "you'll never see it again, someone would have to be stupid to give it back; I would, but I'm stupid."

Well, 2 days later I picked it up at the lost&found.

Ebay only shows the leading bid any time a big is placed. So when someone bids higher than the currently visible bid, but lower than that person's max bid, the leading bidder is shown as placing another, larger bid. You end up with the appearance of someone outbidding themselves repeatedly.
eBay's system works that way. Before oo's (I'll leave the asterisks out) bid, the highest bid amount was $89'100 by e7. oo then bid an amount between $89'900 and $90'000. At this point, eBay only displays $89'300 bid, the higher amount is retained as a (non-displayed) maximum bid.
Later on, another bidder (probably ss) upped the price in $200 increments: they bid $89'300 (to which eBay publicised oo's previous maximum bid of over $89'300), then $89'500 and so on.

In this system, the highest bid always wins -- bid amount being equal, the earlier bid prevails.
Because the prosecution is allowed to withhold any evidence that is in favor of the accused. If THAT were removed as well, and could be enforced, then the corroboration requirement would be unnecessary.

Hardly. Even if you are perfectly healthy you can still develop some form of cancer. You see, theres people smoking for 40 years living on to be 80+ and other non-smokers who develop lung cancer at 35. Or be run over by a car, or have a heart attack or whatever.
Of course you could be super cautious with everything, do checkups of everything every year, but in most cases thats a gigantic waste of metal energy, money and time when you are young and you might also develop hypochondriac mental issues.

Panini and Panino are pretty much synonymous. Panini is just the anglicized word, although it seems the Italians don't generally grill them. I've had Panini/Panino in Italy, France, the UK, and Canada.

Do art, manga and Pez collectors pay almost six figures for beat up junk? For stuff that isn't even readily identifiable? For context, these carts have previously sold for between $10K and $20K. In much better condition too.

The only conclusion I can come to is that rabid video game collectors are a special kind of stupid.
And I'll be the annoying St. Louisan who feels compelled to put these numbers into some context for what feels like the billionth time.

St. Louis City is entirely independent from the surrounding St. Louis County and covers an exceptionally small area by the standards of most big cities (~66 sq/mi). Some similar cities have addressed this by merging with their surrounding county (Indianapolis, for example, which is about 368 sq/mi), but even those that haven't (e.g. Kansas City) still cover a much larger portion of their region (316 sq/mi for KC).

It's very easy to exit the city-proper in St. Louis and not feel at all as though you've left the core of the city. The inner-ring suburbs are quite urban and, while the distinction between them and the City itself is the source of much local posturing, it's a misleading delineation if you're trying to figure out just how big St. Louis really is.

(As a side note, this way of dividing up the region also has a significant effect on the City's infamous crime statistics, for reasons that should be pretty obvious with a little bit of thought. That is to say, if you define almost any city as only its most inner core, then you're going to end up with much higher crime rates than if you include its suburbs. And if you're comparing one city that doesn't include its suburbs with cities that predominantly do, then, well, you get the idea.)

In other words, the larger MSA/CSA numbers more accurately reflect the relative size of both St. Louis's urban core and the surrounding region.
I also use black backgrounds (with LaTeX beamer, though), because I like the aesthetic, but it turns out it's not very practical. Unfortunately it often makes the text difficult to read, due to light from outside or artificial lighting; most slides have a white background which are perfectly readable in these conditions.
Do you think? Films are only 100 years old and collecting film memorabilia has been popular for some time.

Is it not conceivable that video games might be collected in the same way in 60 or 70 years time?

Young people starting to collect now might rationalising their purchases as a bet that the value of such things will skyrocket by the end of their lifetime. I don't think that's such a crazy bet.

It even goes beyond that though, Bitcoin enthusiasts actively downvote any negative stories on HN/Reddit because they don't want the price to go down. I can't remember the last time I've seen a fair and balanced discussion about the pros and cons of Bitcoin pretty much anywhere.
Thank you very much! I appreciate that.
I can't reproduce this behavior from the UK. In any case, DNSmasq (the DNS cache daemon that is part of OpenWRT) has an option to filter bogus NXDOMAIN responses if you can get a list of the IPs.

Alternatively, run your own recursive resolver and cache, it's worth it.

European push to take on Silicon Valley
> The reddit thread mentions very specific districts where you find pedestrians.

I was one of the people who mentioned some of those places in that thread. There are such places in St. Louis, but Strange Loop (which I also attended) is not held near any of them. Most of the stretch talked about in that thread, from 9th and Market up to Union Station, is kind of a pedestrian wasteland (for lots of reasons related to density, failed urban renewal projects, and so on). Nobody in St. Louis goes to Union Station anymore; it's a complete failure of a project. But, likewise, nobody here would use it as any sort of example in a conversation about foot traffic in the city.
And would you suggest doctors would take two to three extra hours with every patient to work them through a basic statistics class which still isn't sufficient to explain the concept?
I wouldn't call collectors who act out of irrationality stupid since you have to look at the motivation behind a deal situationally — I'd just say it's on the edge of being an unethical waste of money.

That may very well be true (and I'm general happy to live in a country with a NHS), but the failure of the US healthcare system doesn't tell us that.

A free market contrasts with a controlled market or regulated market, in which government intervenes in supply and demand through non-market methods such as laws controlling who is allowed to enter the market, mandating what type of product or service is supplied, or directly setting prices.

The array of regulations that govern health care can seem overwhelming to people who work in the industry. Almost every aspect of the field is overseen by one regulatory body or another, and sometimes by several.

Unethical? Huh? Ethics is concerned with morality; with right and wrong. There's nothing inherently wrong about paying large sums of money for beat-up bits of electronics. It's just plain ol' stupid.

Poor man's dependency injection in Clojure
True, but if it sucks, surely it's a good thing that people recount their experiences in articles like this so that the status quo can be unsucked?

There are places where it's not quite the way you describe. A few years back I had a colleague who had a mental breakdown. He voluntarily took some time off after discussing the situation with his boss and eventually came back. No problem, and no job on the line (both because he's legally protected and because of the company/country culture).

I like that, and I'd fight to make that a reality if it wasn't so.

I'm not arguing against collecting games. I'm saying that paying (almost) six figures for a cart that historically sells for about five times less, a cart that can't even be readily identified, is dumb.
I'm pretty sure one day of celebration every ten years is relatively OK.
I think what is really important about it is the possibility of an endless series of temporary and largely speculative currencies popping up.

This dilutes the brand of the entire sphere of crypto-currencies. It also raises serious questions for how much normal people should ever trust these currencies. Do you have to hang out on hacker news or r/bitcoin just to know if there are any issues with a currency ? That makes these currencies unusable.

> Their blockchain size is going to bite them though next year if not later this year. It is going to be massive and the client needs to only download block headers for performance.

Gee, who whould have thought maintaining a massively replicated transaction database over a huge number of globally distributed internet nodes would be a bad idea?

Seriously though, you're right, their block chain is going to balloon. At this rate they will probably overtake Bitcoin (which is approaching 14gb) before the year is out.

That's the problem with these blockchain systems, you have to find a delicate balance between things like max block size (max TPS rate), confirmation times, blockchain size, p2p network size, etc. Basically none of these coins really scale in any direction.

Dogecoin is just a Litecoin fork with shibas, comic sans, and joke settings like generating billions of coins and 1-minute blocks. It's not like they tuned anything for long term usage.

Haven't released MVP yet (by Apr/May I would)

I've had (1) large potential client sign up and a few smaller clients (still waiting to talk to them)

I've applied to numerous accelerators/incubators - a guy I knew invited me to be apart of his accelerator/incubator (just launching new month with 10-20 startups).

I'm a solo founder (and by no means using this as an excuse (because it shouldn't be at all).

I think my fear is I don't want to deep-dive into the little savings I have left - because then I would be completely broke (as in $0.00 in the bank).

I'm literally just dazed and confused. I've never worked f/t on my own startup before either (always had the cushy corporate job) - they say crack (the drug) is addictive - I'd venture to say a corporate salary is.

That said, I would want nothing more than to work f/t on this and not go back to a corp. gig (paying 25% more than I used to make). I'm just running low on cash right now.

Sometimes, I wish I kept my rather comprehensive collection of Squaresoft games, Nintendo consoles and games, and rare Capcom imports. I got about $2000 total for all of them a couple years ago on eBay - much less than what I thought they would be worth.

I had imagined that someday I would just be able to emulate the games on future computers, and there was no rational reason to waste space with the dusty relics I was not playing. What was less obvious at the time was that I really had little intention of actually re-playing most of these now collectibles which I had already played to a pulp. The future of perfect hardware and software emulation was as irrelevant as was impossible.

What I gave up for some quick cash was basically a life long historical record with the physical artifacts to match. It will be a bitter sweet day in the future when I visit the Video Game Museum to see my lost history. At least I still have my Marvel cards.

I've been through your crappy system and first rate care is the last thing I would call it.

Do you know what the mental health system taught me? It taught me not to seek help. If you tell the truth, you will be imprisoned and treated like you are not even human anymore.

I distinctly remember thinking "I will do whatever it takes, I will say whatever they want to hear, I will tell whatever lie I need to get out of this situation".

Talking to a doctor about mental health is the same as talking to the police. They are unlikely to help you, but they can certainly harm you.
My nearest provider (Vodafone) store is over an hours drive away. I've never particularly considered going there; but even if that is a possibility I'd still class it as "difficult to opt out".

> The question should not be "when will I die?" but rather "how will I feel about my life in the last moment I'm lucidly able to do so?"

--------------------

The second question includes the first as a subset - if I knew I were going to die in a couple of years, there's no way I'd work on things I don't enjoy that have a longer-term pay-off. But, if I live longer than those two years, and have spent everything having fun within them, then I'm kinda stuffed for the long run.
