In that case, try The Enchiridion[1] by Epictetus. Epictetus was also a Stoic philosopher who was born a slave. He was eventually freed, and then he was banished from Rome (along with all philosophers). He was lame for most of his life. Yet by all accounts he was happy and successful.

And I'm happy to be someone about to jump fully on the Bitcoin train and never have to think about the price of Bitcoin.

As a U.S. citizen living abroad, Bitcoin is now at the intersection of cheapest, fast (but not instant) and most convenient for receiving my money. There are exchanges here which work automatically and have lots of options for me to receive my money. At this point, I can't say there is a better method available for me.

I'm getting the pathways setup (accounts mostly) and then all of my money transfers will be going through Bitcoin.

When people like me who don't care about the price, but get real utility out of Bitcoin (beyond just the gimmick of merchants accepting payments in Bitcoin which make up less than 1% of sales but much more than that in marketing publicity) then the prices will really start to take off. But, we still won't care about the prices then.

Edit: That said, Ripple or Stellar may be an even better option for moving money. Once Cryptocurrency becomes so widely used that Bitcoin is just another option, then Bitcoin could drop massively. But we still won't care about price. ;)

Edit2: I would NOT be holding Bitcoin. I would only be using it as a transfer medium.
Most people are astonishingly bad at savings and investments, and this includes some really smart people who fail to make a good recurring income out of windfall scenarios.

I tend to see this as failure of humans in general to visualize large structures. There fore similar things like large timelines, growth scenario's, compounding. One would be surprised how common this is. People can think of probably a couple of years, but their understanding fails them when they have imagine of scenarios 2 or 3 decades from now. Some times its so bad, they even totally avoid thinking about it.

I know a lot of people who made a fortune in the 1990's when they were in their 20's, but are now back to where they were when they are in their 40's. And you don't have to even to win the start up lottery to do this. A good savings and investment strategy will get you there. But that very rarely happens.

Most people can at most simply maintain the status quo all their lives.
I think my problem comes down to my point about living in a broken home. If you have broken windows, fix them. If you just have windows you don't like, do a cost/benefit on replacing them.

And realize that, piecemeal replacing things may not be a good idea. Running with the window analogy, if all you did was replace one window. Sure, in some way you are better than if you had not replaced it. Odds are high it will actually hurt your valuation on the home if it doesn't match the look of the other windows, though.

Same for the car analogy. Driving a low MPG car is ultimately expensive. Unless you have done a cost benefit to getting a high MPG one, it is likely not a good idea to upgrade.

This is especially true for most nonsense articles on paying technical debt. They almost always involve becoming an early adopter of a technology. Something which is known to be expensive elsewhere. Consider, the number of folks that saved money by buying a first model or so prius is probably zero.

At work, this is especially poignant. The folks that were most into paying down technical debt have managed to land us with no fewer than 4 dependency frameworks. Sure, I hate struts as much as the next person, I would welcome that to the frankenstein we have wound up with.

Erm, your sourced numbers are off. I think the article you're quoting is specifically looking at brand value, not enterprise value:

Heineken enterprise value: $57bn [1]

American Airlines enterprise value: $36bn [2]

Yum Brands (KFC parent company) enterprise value: $37bn [3]

Audi looks to be about right, and Ferrari is still a private company so their EV is a bit harder to quantify. The rest of your numbers are also harder to quantify; so I won't take issue with them.

I agree with you that it's fallacious to compare SpaceX to WhatsApp because the vast majority of WhatsApp's valuation comes from the terminal value. Given that WhatsApp was purchased largely with Facebook stock (which also derives its high price from a large terminal value) I would say this is a case where Facebook basically paid for WhatsApp in "Facebook bucks", not actual US dollars. Since Facebook and WhatsApp are in largely uncharted economic territory, there is a large degree of potential error in the terminal value. SpaceX, meanwhile, is in an industry that existed prior to 10 years ago, and is thus a lot easier to accurately peg a terminal value to. Additionally, SpaceX requires a significant amount of capital investment to grow and perform additional research, while WhatsApp can scale enormously with very little capital needs.

Your "passionate society" is appealing in theory, but it doesn't work in practice.

In a market economy, someone offers you a price for your labor. You decide whether or not to accept it. If you're passionate about something nobody wants to pay for, why should you still be paid?

Is WhatsApp overvalued?

Mark Zuckerberg made the decision of WhatsApp deal. In this planet he probably has the best visibility on revenue opportunities of mobile social networks.

Facebook market cap is around 190 billion as of writing, and they have +1B monthly actives. WhatsApp had around 400M monthly actives when the deal was announced. If Facebook can implement ad model to WhatsApp as succesfully as it has implemented it to Facebook mobile app, it is totally possible that WhatsApp $19B deal was fairly valued. Maybe a bit overvalued as a defensive move, but not out of proportion.
Dude, children aren't little savages.

The things you say, they do not hold true across cultures. Sure, things should be developmentally adjusted and it is true that people's brain develops until around 25, but none of this at all makes them savages.

Watch classrooms. Teachers that treat students like savages get savages as students. Teachers that talk in a reasonable way to students (adjusted for kids understanding) tend to have better behaved students.

Sorry, man. Children aren't savages. Like adults, a few wind up bad, but most... nah.
Still about the same $40-$80 for 2000. When we would order palettes, 2001-2006, we would do it because it would bring our cost down to about $20/case. It was all practice paint so it had some obvious defects and wasn't anything we could use in tournaments.

Interesting ! But celebrity investment doesn't guarantee anything apart from a lot of initial press and traction,do they ? Those startups continue are vulnerable to the same failures like any other. Ashton Kutcher invested in the social flirting app which failed to take off , Leonardo Di Caprio invested in Mobli (which isn't big right now either) and a few others. If there is no alignment of the celebrity's existing brand & image to the startup they invest in , the value seems to be strictly initial publicity.

> I had a friend who worked at a supermarket that rostered him on for 3.75 hours, then 30 minutes later, rostered him on for another 3.75 hours. This 'split shift' meant that they didn't have to give him the mandatory paid 30 minute lunch break for an 8-hour shift.

Except they gave him 30 minutes between shifts? It sounds like all they did was schedule his lunch shift rather than letting him do it himself. My guess is that 30 minute break was at an inconvenient/non-rush time?

I've been advertising my League of Legends convention on reddit for a few weeks using the League related subreddits (leagueoflegends, leagueofmemes, loleventvods, leagueoflegendsmeta)

The result? The CPM is low and the CPC has hovered between $0.09 and $0.20, but so far reddit ads have accounted for 0 of our sales (out of a few hundred tickets so far). Location targeting would be amazing, but you can't target a subreddit and a location at the same time.

Our ads will steadily change to increase the sense of urgency as the date approaches (X days left, Y tickets left), it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
> they had to scrap their whole prior frontend web app and rewrite it from scratch

How do people decide to do rewrites rather than incrementally improve an existing app? Unless there's a language change involved, I would almost always go with the incremental refactor... as long as someone's committed to actually doing the work.
In July, SpaceX successfully soft-landed a Falcon 9 first stage in the Atlantic. Now that they've proved they can do it, they're going to try over land next.

So they're already very close to the dream of a liquid booster that you can just land, refuel, and relaunch.
His advice on the use of auto seems perfectly sane to me. The first time I learned about a language with type inference for local variables was D, and coming from C++/Java, I had the same reaction. I absolutely hated it. However, the D community seems to overwhelmingly prefer auto/const/immutable/etc. (any of these can be used in place of an explicit type declaration in D), and over the years as I've worked with other languages that have adopted this convention, I find that I now cannot stand any unnecessary explicit type declarations in my code.

Nearly 100% of the time, you know what the type of a local variable is (otherwise people would be unable to use Python/Ruby/Javascript/etc.), so it's no great harm to readability. Furthermore, you are probably already working with an IDE that can tell you the type of a variable when you hover over it, anyway. I think that it also leads you to think more about interfaces than specific types.

>Currency exchange rates aren't supposed to need a logarithmic scale.

That's funny, because if you are doing historical analysis of, say, the dollar, you need a log scale or else the current value of the dollar is pretty much indistinguishable from zero.

>If you can mitm the dns or ip you can still do this even with https.

Strictly speaking you'd need a compromised DNS and a compromised CA (possibly with a wildcard certificate). Certificates provide assurance of identity as well as encryption (that's why public key encryption works). No matter where the connection comes from. (EDIT: If I compromise DNS for an SSL secured site I only get half an attack.)

I'm not as familiar with the app update mechanisms in respect to enforcing monotonic version numbers. I don't have proof it enforces this, however.

As someone who has no knowledge of this space - what does it mean inventory being bought out? You can no longer place your ad on that subreddit anymore? Why would this happen?
I visit the farmer's markets here (not Austin) maybe once or twice a week and I'm not sure why I would want to use this app.

I'd recommend a lot more customer feedback development/interviews (to use the Steve Blank term) For example, It should be more like 5 to 10 people per day rather than 20 people in total. Farmers and people that visit farmer's markets, are generally polite. They're going to say yes to you and then just not download it, rather than say, "I hate this." You'll will have to dig deep, but politely dig, and do a lot more interviews.

For me personally, I just don't understand what value this gives me or what hair-on-fire problem I need this to solve. (I've also thought about building an app for the farmer's market too, but with a very different approach/business model focused on questions and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) problems I've encountered.)
But there's one huge difference between 1999 and 2014 - mobile phones. And people, everyone, seems much more accepting of digital delivery services. Back then it was kind of a novelty.

That being said I think the ones that will be most successful will put the burden of service and delivery on a 3rd party.

Maintenance of public keys is automated, by which I mean the user does not need to do anything manually for them to be published and recertified before they expire.

I take it as similar to the rule of thumb that you should walk 10,000 steps per day. It was made up for marketing a pedometer, and most experts I've heard from say it's not based on any facts, but it's close enough that merely striving for 10,000 steps per day is a good goal to set.

It might not be accurate, but it's not bad in terms of setting a goal for yourself. It helps you to focus on the right thing (get more practice, take more steps, etc).
I guess it depends, at least for me, on how much it looks and feels like Sublime Text and whether it is compatible with the numerous addons there are.

Or, they get 20-25% discount from retailers (coming out of stores marketing budget and reduction in store staff cost).

EDIT: The discounts come from the cost savings stores will see from delivery companies, to clarify to people commenting margins are not that high in grocery business.

1) These delivery services are become sales and marketing channel for stores.

2) Cut down time it takes for cash register scanning each product and bagging them, pick up guys do that for stores.

3) Bulk pickups-- e.g., if I can have delivery company gather milk directly from back store, my store staff does not have to spend time replenishing the shelves.
Don't confuse quality with style. If you want provide a quality guide, include only rules that actually improve the quality of the code, don't include style preferences. Style is subjective by nature, but quality not so much. Some rules being enforced in this guide are heavily opinionated and yet have no direct correlation with code quality. What does the indentation being 2 spaces or 4 spaces or tabs have to do with code quality? And a semicolon-less codebase can be as clean, readable and performant as one with semicolons, your arguments against ASI is simply FUD. As many have pointed out, for these stylistic disagreements the only rule should be "just be consistent".

Neat. Maintain things in a single format, port to other formats as needed. I've used UMD before but that's a lot of ugly boilerplate - something external is a much cleaner solution.
Why you don't care about the price? In the end, money is just means to an end, e.g. to improve your life comfort. If one day someone transferred you X amount of potential comfort and then the next day you see you very suddenly have 0.80*X left, aren't you upset?

1) Increased pool of unskilled labor-- manufacturing industry tanked, increased immigration.

2) Proliferation of internet connected, smartphones.

3) Avoiding obvious mistakes: no free deliveries for a bottle of coke, like in webvan days.

4) Doing direct store to consumer deliveries, avoiding warehouses, getting 20-25% cut from retailers (who see this as savings in marketing cost and reduced in-store staff cost)
