Build an Altcoin mining rig and rinse and repeat.
1 rig(2.2 MH) = $28/day.

To make $100,000 -- you need to earn $273 per day.
To earn this much you will need 10 rigs.

Cost to get started is < 2k.
Buy 1 rig, use earnings to buy more. Try to get 3 rigs as soon as possible, using all available funds, then 1 per month for a year.

On top of that ALSO work a day job - your machines will earn you money in the spare time.

I don't know if you know this, but Charlotte has something like over 50,000 bank employees.

> For instance, I use Trello as a scratchpad about various things I have going on. I've got about 11 or so person boards. Writing things down and applying a method to limit work in progress is really the corner stone of getting things done in my opinion.

I use trello extensively. I always have an "In Progress" list and an "On Bat" list. "On Bat" maxes at 5 items, "In Progress" always has two items per person on the board (and it should usually only be one item).

No, I don't think all regulations are created equal, but thanks for playing.

I have no problem with regulations in general. From the start here I said "silly regulations". Trying to combat bloatware by simply banning them is, in my opinion, silly. Even if you establish that this problem is so big that the government needs to get involved, there are other tools at their disposal. Tax incentives is one such tool.
Okay, it's on the East Coast instead of the west. But SAS is one of the best places to work for in the world. Some of the perks that seem applicable to you:

* 7 hour work day

* Flexible work schedules

* Everyone has a private office

* On site Day Cares

* On site Health Care

* Gymnasium, Natatorium, Hundreds of acres of trail laced land bordering a national park.

* Extremely stable company

Detect:

Look for high frequency access with low variability in the delay between same-type resource requests. It's a relatively simple heuristic, but great precision & recall for classifying scrapers vs. manual access.

Block:

You can't block a sufficiently determined expert scraper.

You can filter out a lot of scraping if that's a meaningful goal, but it's often not. A good strategy here is rate limiting + header inspection + CAPTCHA on high activity. Possibly add transfer quotas if you have a lot of large assets which might cause problems at low request rates.

This will deal with "script kiddies" and automated tools which account for the majority of cases where scraping could potentially impact the server's ability to respond to other users. It won't block researchers or other scrapers with more sophisticated skills.

I've seen people go wild here, to the point of silly things like displaying database record text as images. Complicated schemes generally impact UX for your routine users, while making it take slightly more time to write a scraper that's already "build once, use until the site is redesigned."
Extracting millions out of acquirees should be done with the least possible investment. Seriously, if you can rook 'em in some way that can't blow back, go for it.

I would recommend instead of finding companies that are looking for interns, target a company you want to intern for and reach out to them directly.

This is definitely the more proactive method of landing an internship. But the more successful interns I have worked with all had an idea what they wanted and they went straight for it.

> So what makes northern California different from North Carolina

Did this study take into account cost of living differences? California's more expensive. There are a number of reasons for that, some historical, some coincidental, some because of the weather. But, regardless of the reasons, if you're measuring income on a national scale it is simply far easier for someone in CA to be in the top 20% than for someone living in a comparatively cheap area of the country.

I'd have a lot to say about the Korean government's interventionism, but I believe they're right for once.

Firstly, they aren't banning carriers from shipping phones with preloaded crapware, they're forcing them to make it uninstallable, as every non-system app should be.

Secondly, you obviously have no idea of the state of the market in Korea. Carrier subsidies are still the norm, your typical Samsung smartphone ends up costing 50% more than in open markets like Europe. Moreover, consumers don't have a lot of options. HTC, Motorola and Sony pulled out. You cannot find non-carrier versions of the Korean phones. Windows phones aren't sold either. Basically you're down to overpriced iPhones or the Nexus 5 (which was the first Nexus to be released in Korea without some ridiculous delay compared to other parts of the world).

I would argue that PPP is better than exchange rate based comparisons and I think most experts agree.[1]

GDP per capita includes everything produced by the country including health care, child care, etc. So that is not the issue here.[2]

In the US only about a quarter of GDP is spent by the government while in Denmark about half is spent by the government.[3] So in the US we pay directly for some services like healthcare that in Denmark are paid through the government with taxes.

Telling an old man it's "time to die" because you idolize PARC or Jobs or something is completely, unacceptably rude.
PPP seems like a weird attempt to decide what the exchange rate "should" be for things to be "equivalent". Why not let the market decide? DKK vis-a-vis USD is a floating exchange rate, where the market can decide how much they think is equivalent. Obviously a house in Copenhagen costs more than one in Nebraska, but that's because it's a better product, just like a good car costs more than a cheap car, and a fine restaurant with ocean view costs more than a taco truck. You can even apply it within countries: the cost of living is higher in Half Moon Bay than Detroit, but that's because living in Half Moon Bay is actually more desirable in real terms, not because dollars in Half Moon Bay are somehow devalued.
Honestly, I have a rough idea of what I want, but I feel like applying to startups that actually needed help.

I tend to think I work really hard and efficiently as possible, so I like to help in what ways I can. Since I'm looking for an internship now, I figured I could apply to companies that had a dire need for interns.

The win-win scenario is that the company gets the help, and I get the experience (obviously).
It's all down to your coworkers. Every single bad thing that is talked about in this piece? I've encountered, and I work in tech. I've been desperately searching for another tech job for the past 2 years and striking out every time. Even when I get a second interview, or I have a great 4 hour interview and get along great with a potential new boss. Then there's the places that won't even give me the time of day, who repeatedly reject me for even the most entry-level helpdesk/desktop support type of position. It doesn't help that this is not a big town either.
Alas, this believer in transclusion also deeply feels it's important that authors need to be paid, himself included.

Not getting something so basic correct tells me to avoid the whole thing for fear of getting subtly screwed by some other oversight.

No one denies that this is a problem, and it will be fixed. But I disagree that it represents a fundamental flaw. For iterative development, it is a minor inconvenience, so other priorities have taken precedence. If you are redefining functions in this way in tested code, there may be bigger problems to worry about.

The Julia developers have paid fastidious attention to correctness (to the point of making a pilgrimage to visit Kahan early on). The type system is well thought-out and nice to use. Spurious crashes are almost nonexistent (and fixed within hours, without fail). The foundation is solid, but it's still a work in progress, and it will take some time to shake these sorts of features out.

> Given that poverty is defined as income before transfers . . .

I have never heard of anyone who defines it this way or cares about this definition. What most people who care about poverty care about is that the poor do not get to consume "enough" goods and services, for some level of enough. The amount they earn is of secondary interest.
I'm not so sure their technology is as futuristic as everyone thinks it is. If I had to take an educated guess, I would say it's some powerful AI that makes their knowledge graph smarter. Currently Google's Knowledge Graph uses more structured data sets and depends on a mechanism like this: http://www.zachvanness.com/nanobird_relevancy_engine.pdf

But the real challenge is to make the knowledge graph update in real time and take meaning from something as unstructured as a blog post or an email. And to do something like that requires some really unique AI.

There was honest debate, your side just happened to lose.

Supply-side economics is a misnomer. Classical economics would be a much more accurate term. It is true that American workers cannot compete with lower costs overseas (though I think the lower costs have more to do with the fact that the US has more alternative means of employment and therefore higher wages). However this is no issue. As a friend of mine always likes to say, trade is like technology: you can think of other countries like a machine where you put in one kind of good (exports) and get back another (imports). So why would you want to impose a special tax on this machine? Economic theory suggests that to do so would be inefficient.

The only valid reason for protectionism is strategic: e.g. having the ability to make things for yourself in case other countries cut off supply. The US is by far the world leader in military technology so I don't think this is an issue.

I wouldn't trust a gov't run TOR node. It may be fine for dissidents in uninteresting countries, but not for anyone who wants to keep their privacy safe from the US gov't.

An article similar to this one also showed divorce rates being higher in Conservative areas (the South) due to stress and strain on families caused by: 1) A lack or limitation of contraception, planned parenthood programs, sex education and abortion options which lead to more children being born when the family isn't ready yet. 2) Marriage at a younger age when families aren't yet stabilized. 3) A focus on a family over education and career stability.

The initial cost doesn't matter. If an officer doesn't cost much, yet you don't have to pay him any more than that is a 100% decrease in cost.

Second I know that the officer is not the only cost involved. What about maintaining a fleet of top of the line vehicles? How about paying all the support personnel such as IT Staff, dispatch, managers, etc? All of the other expensive toys carried around by the chaser?

Oh, I'm decidedly agnostic on whether it really is futuristic AI. Just there is some buzz around it, and some of the people involved in it are definitely legit, and have also involved themselves in the "AGI" community, which leads to such speculation (which they've pretty deliberately cultivated). That doesn't prove they've Solved AI for any sci-fi-ish notion of Solved AI. They could just have some good but in the big picture fairly modest knowledge-graph tech, or they could even have not-that-good knowledge-graph tech with great PR!

I remember that they had an impressive demo at the NIPS Deep Learning Workshop in December (probably a highlight for me and a few people I talked to afterwards) of a reinforcement learning agent playing Atari 2600 Games where the input consisted of an image that was fed through a Convolutional Neural Network. There is a paper on Arxiv that describes the approach ("Playing Atari with Deep Reinforcement Learning"[0]) but unfortunately I don't think they made the videos available.

Deep Mind has a whole bunch of talented and serious people so this is an exciting acquisition.

I'm an elitist when it comes to music, but I admitted to myself that Taylor Swift's I Knew You Were Trouble and a couple Backstreet Boys' songs are catchy, well-composed tunes. Good melodies are good melodies. But I'm glad I don't have to credit Taylor Swift anymore :p

A lot of these songs have much more musical merit than a lot of pretentious indie songs, which tend to be repetitive and lacking in melody. Contrary to unpopular belief (by the "hip" minority), you're not necessarily unsophisticated if you enjoy a wildly popular band like Coldplay.

PPP was developed for exactly this purpose - to understand differences across areas with different currencies. While it is not perfect it attempts to take things like quality differences into account. Real estate if pretty difficult to compare as it is unique but for many other goods it is much easier.
