Amen to this!

One or both of my kids, depending on the activity, will beg to do stuff that my wife and/or I are doing: gardening, learning about electronics, home repair, sports, music, cooking, crafts, animal care/husbandry, forestry (I DIY all of our firewood for winter heat), small engine maintenance and repair, hiking, biking, workout videos, etc etc.

I still think it's important to expose them to other things and respect and encourage the interests that they develop, which may be outside the sphere of things that you enjoy. E.g. neither I nor my wife have much musical skill/talent, but one kid likes making music so we encourage it where we can (e.g. I've learned a bit about drumming just so I can help him figure some things out).

Because after the initial period of your customers not knowing about a whole category of products, you're just spending money on getting people come to you instead of to a competitor. It's zero-sum, because what you and your competitors spend on ads mostly cancel out - you're competing for a limited, finite pool of customers.

Do you have a link? I didn't find those stats after a cursory look at the Bitfinex and BTCE sites.
That's why I don't like guides that suggest people to mindlessly add semicolons everywhere. If you don't really know how ASI works you are always living in the fear of missing a semicolon somewhere. Actually learning how ASI works liberates you from that fear and you can still opt to use or not use semicolons.

"We" is doing a lot of work in that last sentence. It's rather like saying "English is only useful because so many people speak it".

The US dollar is, like the existence of the US itself, supported by the collective belief of its citizens and quite a lot of people outside its borders. That belief carries quite a lot of weight because it's difficult to dislodge.

You aren't going to get helpful answers from such a general question. Furthermore, titles are somewhat arbitrary and only have convention to define them. If you are a 2-person startup and the only employees are a CEO and a CTO, well someone better write the code. If you are the CTO of Amazon (to pick an example), I have to imagine that you are too busy with vision and strategy to even think about coding. If your company is somewhere in between there, then maybe your CTO's responsibilities are somewhere in between.

It also depends on the type of company. Does Tesla's CTO know how to code?

Drawing up those insurance contracts is a non-trivial endeavour too. There are specialist space divisions of major insurers who can package up space reinsurance as a nice investment whose returns are uncorrelated with market returns, but they're already in a situation where in years where one launch incident involving a sufficiently expensive satellite payload can wipe out the profits for the whole space insurance industry in a year. They make it back in future years because of the continuing demand for satellite launches. Now imagine there are people on board, the rocket is headed to colonise Mars and the CEO is on board. Not all of that risk to the future of private sector space industry as a whole is insurable.

I have lived here for 6 years. We have a large expat community here who regularly shares information on the best way to send money. I have spent many hours researching options to move money and I regularly spend time updating myself on latest options.

I don't think I need to get into my personal money habits here. If you haven't been an expat, then you probably don't know all the funky quirks of moving money here.

Let's just put it this way. The Philippines is one of the most active countries in the world for receiving remittances and Western Union is huge here. Can you imagine that Bitcoin could be cheaper than Western Union?

There are certain cases where you can get pretty cheap if you live in certain areas and your recipient lives in certain areas. For example, in L.A. there is a large Filipino community and remittance services in the Philippines have setup offices there, but these aren't services you can access over the internet. You have to live there.

You brought up a good point about conversion rates though. I will have to see what the conversion rates actually come out to. It's different because you aren't converting a currency. You are cutting out some of the processes that converting one currency to another goes through. But I may still lose some money in the conversion though.

I would get hit with the Coinbase fee, but apparently Circle is looking to do conversions for free. So, that might be even cheaper whenever they hook me up with an invite.

I wouldn't have expected this result necessarily but it is interesting how with eReaders, you completely lose that spatial memory that you get from reading traditional paper bound books. I bet you could approximate where a passage you remember is without knowing the page # after reading a traditional book. Of course, eReaders have the advantage of being able to search for text so finding passages isn't really a problem.
One of the reasons this is so relatively simple is that it doesn't appear to handle cycles like es6-module-transpiler does.

See the test case here:

https://github.com/thomasboyt/es6-cycles-comparison

The es6-module-transpiler output functions correctly, while the Esperanto output does not. This means that while Esperanto can translate the syntax of ES6 modules for you, it doesn't currently match semantics like es6-module-transpiler does.

It's zero sum for the advertisers - for each ad spot, there can only be one ad, so if I win the auction, you lose. Of course, since it's an auction, the winner will be spending increasing amounts of money on it, with no real upside (still the same amount of ads displayed).

It's all very good money for the ad platform/brokers.
This was exactly the reason it was suggested in the Angular.js docs.
Genius needs to differentiate between intra-textual annotation (i.e. what it currently does now, a variant on footnotes), inter-textual annotation (i.e. hyperlinks with accompanying comments, basically what hacker news or reddit does now), and meta-textual annotation (i.e. criticism and analysis).
I don't buy it, right off. Seems just as likely as people that read more recall less. Especially at the levels that people read more when they get an ebook.

More likely, actually, is people that are used to reading paper books don't read as well in a new format. Also consider, many more people are reading "mystery" novels than did in the past. I know I would likely have never picked up a mystery myself, yet I have picked up a few on digital sales.

> This is the equivalent of jerking a dog's leash. It's sad how ready some parents are to deny their children basic human dignity.

Basic dignity? It's not their phones.

If you possess a work phone, and never respond to your bosses call there are consequences: you get fired, lose your income, and may soon find yourself on the streets in destitution.

If you possess a family phone, its not yours either and so you might expect consequences if you don't respond to the owners of it.

The alternative to this app is just taking away the kids phone, or grounding them (i.e imprisoning them). This is a bare slap on the wrist compared to all that.

fission. :) it can run several fuels as described in article.

Battery seemed to have stuck. it's not my favorite. I would say generator. battery apparently seems more innocuous.

Battery also feels accurate because the reactor will be more or less "plug and play" like a really, really, really long lasting battery that produces the same amount of power. It can also be used in "packs" like a battery.

Fundamentally, nuclear, just like coal or anything else is a source of heat. With different secondary packages, you can produce electricity or cogenerate steam.
I recently ripped all my CDs to WAV files (got tired of the space all those physical discs were taking up). 800+ CDs, some of which dated back to the dawn of the digital music era in 1983. Some of them (music from Eurythmics, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd) required several passes to get a clean copy, but I was able to copy them all.

In my case, I always kept them in their jewel boxes, which were stored vertically, much like you'd store an LP. For most of their life they were kept indoors, but they also spent about 3 years in an unheated storage unit.

The fun part was finding adapters for the few 8 cm CD singles I had, so they'd play in a modern slot-loading drive.

I should say that here practically speaking "the public" mean public opinion, and public opinion mean the middle classes. The poor did not regard the police as benign:

'As regards the police, the hatred of a costermonger to a "peeler" is intense, and with their opinion of the police, all the more ignorant unite that of the governing power. "Can you wonder at it, sir," said a costermonger to me, "that I hate the police? They drive us about, we must move on, we can't stand here, and we can't pitch there. But if we're cracked up, that is if we're forced to go into the Union (I've known it both at Clerkenwell and the City of London workhouses,) why the parish gives us money to buy a barrow, or a shallow, or to hire them, and leave the house and start for ourselves: and what's the use of that, if the police won't let us sell our goods?—Which is right, the parish or the police?"'

I don't get why hackers want to work at such large companies. If someone has over about 50 employees or about 10 million backing, I don't see what's interesting about it.

edit (due to the downvotes): Sorry, this was an honest question. I've been working for about 15 years and have always been really put off by the institutional structure of large companies ... the constitution of them just doesn't work for the kind of green-field I'm (and I thought most hackers) are looking for.

Most of their rap annotations are either inaccurate or complete bullshit. When it comes to "definitions" of slang, they're usually pretty good - for example, dun-ta-duns mention. When it comes to more subjective analysis of prose though it's pretty laughable how bad/ill-equipped the contributors tend to be at it - for example, "sleep is the cousin of death."

The shift of focus away from lyrics towards annotating texts that require more academic rigour (literature, historic documents, news) combined with the brash, public personalities of the owners make me think it will be a bigger problem for these guys than for others.

My colleagues and I are building our own crowdfunding platform serving the humanitarian community and we've given your subject some thought. If you're not asking for the same thing, I think it doesn't hurt to spread auxiliary funding aspects, stretch goals and so forth for example across onto another platform. It might very well cut some of your fundraising momentum but it will get you some face-time in return in front of another audience which might help in the long term.

Being a former Shadow 200 "drone" aka Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operator, I've got a bit of additional context on this type of thing. For the Shadow, they have a Tactical Automated Landing System, which uses active radar to do a completely hands off computer controlled landing.

I remember being at a Giants game at Pacbell (now AT&T) Park back in 2001. Webvan had just gone bankrupt, yet the entire ballpark was still covered with Webvan ads, even the cup holders. Another major ballpark advertiser at the time was Enron, and that scandal was just breaking. I remember thinking that the Giants ad sales staff might have to put in a few extra hours of work that week. If and when I see a DoorDash cup holder at AT&T, that will be my canary in the coalmine telling me that the new bubble is about to pop.

As long as Sublime doesn't go the Jetbrains way where they never reach a stable status, but they keep increasing the version number every year, I'm fine.
I think the two sides of this discussion are battling between current economics vs. ROI for humanity.

WhatsApp adds almost zero because there are many other options to text everybody. So it's just another company that got traction. It could die tomorrow and nobody would worry much. It can be easily replaced. There is no long lasting value (again, due to so many other options and the easiness of creating it from scratch again). Text chatting is a exhausted marketed, in terms of innovation. If WhatsApp is secretly working on hologram technology then it'd be another entirely different matter, but I doubt that's their focus.

SpaceX, on the other hand, is making breakthroughs in engineering and science. What they create will be with us for a long time, can yield multiple patents, can feed into other inventions.. I think it's very difficult to argue that creating technology that allows us to go to other planets has little value. I think it has a lot.

So I think we're substituting the question "where should humanity invest money?" for "which companies are correctly valued". The latter is much easier to answer based on economics. The former, quite difficult to agree on.
“The complicated part is not getting customers, it’s getting the product to the customers,” said Paulo Lerner, Rewinery’s founder, who fled San Francisco for Brazil. “If they charge a lot, it loses the appeal. If they charge less, it has a lot of appeal, but at the same time, they are running on losses.”

In other words: the revenue up-and-to-the-right graph (the fetish of the moment) is misleading. There's a broad class of crappy businesses that can easily generate revenue, but will never be able to generate profit.

We're back to the 1999 strategy of giving away dollars for 95 cents, and making up the difference on volume.

There were mobile devices in 1999-2000 such as the Palm devices that were easily capable of running a network stack, but what really changed in the last 15 years is the deployment, improvement, and adoption of wireless data services - We had to wait for the network to catch up.

You guys have got to be kidding me. I write a comment about transferring money to a 3rd world nation, which is one of the greatest possible uses of Bitcoin in the future and my comment is getting attacked?

Of course people in 3rd world nations won't hold Bitcoin. Low income workers can't afford any volatility and they often can't afford to hold anything anyways.

What I'm trying to say is that Bitcoin is emerging as the best remittance option. This is one of the most exciting uses of Bitcoin. But it's not quite there yet for most people in the world. In the Philippines, it's here!

If an option is good for remittances, it's also good for an expat to remit money to him / her self.

In this scenario, we don't care about what the price is.

What's the problem with that?
Agreed -- my own personal experience with this sort of phenomenon is via chess.

I am a much stronger player over the board than I am online and I think the visual representation/spatial relationship is a large part of it. I just engage in a different way.

While different visual representations may seem equivalent on some level, the way our brains process them may be very, very different.

I would imagine many of us also experience a similar phenomenon via writing by hand vs. typing.

Hackers steal records on 4.5M patients from healthcare system
These results are pretty much exactly what you would expect -- people who are struggling aren't likely to be googling for luxury items -- and I would venture to guess that they would be fairly similar even if The Upshot used only income, or only education level, rather than a blend of six metrics, to determine "hard" and "easy" counties to live in.

What I find especially intriguing are some of the explanations Leonhardt posits, which presume a causal link and attempt to suggest what that cause is. That's part of the reason why I enjoy running Correlated.org -- it's fun to try to guess what the connection might be between two seemingly unrelated things.

But let's remember: Not all correlations entail a causal link. (I prefer that way of putting it over "Correlation does not imply causation," because correlation does imply causation ... it's just that it often wrongly implies it.)
