> Once a week, the two partners “settle up” off network

I believe the network allows the propagation of credits through other gateways. That means the debt should be able to be settled via Bitcoin, Yap stone or other methods without doing an off chain transfer. Those real-world transfers could also be troublesome in many circumstances if they were over a certain amount of value.
Yep, both things are barbaric. Murdering people because they've done something wrong is just silly, though.
> I'd found my shirt for life (but failed to secure a lifetime supply of them at the time, an error in judgment).

It has to be said that I do this too. Last year I found a nice fitted t-shirt which look good, and fit wonderfully. The next day I went back and bought ten more.

I have varied clothing, but things that are really good - in this case small black calvin klein t-shirts - I just make sure I buy lots.
Oddly enough, I tried out Greenhouse -- http://allaregreen.us/ -- (the plugin that gives you donor information for congress persons) on the four different people cited, and big donations from defense contractors and aerospace only figured for one of them, so it's not quite as simple as I thought. Or perhaps the money is more cleverly disguised.
As for your first point, shotgun sequencing was not invented by Illumina. Shotgun sequencing, or sequencing many small fragments and then computationally reconstructing a larger contig, was first done in 1979, and later used by many groups (most famously by Celera Genomics in their quest to beat the human genome project). Shotgun sequencing can be done using any short sequencing reads, so this is neither a breakthrough nor even an advantage for Illumina.

Illumina's chemistry was better than the others, and they marketed their advantages better. The Illumina machine produced longer reads than SOLiD (Life Technologies), and produced more reads than 454 (Roche). They produced reliable instruments that were relatively easier to use than the others also, which made them favorites for core facilities.
Of course not, if you think it's likely don't put your money in. Even Bitcoin's rapid price drops in the past have not been fast enough to have triggered a peg break. And you're trading the risk off against the risk of a bank haircut or account freezes or what have you.

Again, to be clear: I am not encouraging anyone to put their money into this.
I dont know, what you read. But I read, that Oracle shut the door until three months before the scheduled release. Oracle is the specialist on software development and not their client. So if Oracle says not otherwise, they have to deliver. If those allegations are true, Oracle is to blame for the majority.

Or do you want to lead your local bakery in how your breads are made? The baker has to know, when and how to include the client, because he/she is the specialist.

This is a difference between driving discipline into your child to do something and nurturing them because they enjoy it. Teaching your kid that discipline pays off, show them what the superstars of their subject can achieve if they have the self discipline to drive themselves and then just support them in their pursuit of that. If their pursuit wanes, that's okay. It doesn't mean you should run them into the ground about it. Move onto whatever they're currently interest in and nurture that. Let them be kids and help them to get the most they can out of their interests. Find ways to keep it fascinating and fun for them and wanting to learn more, but when there comes a time they want to move onto something else, that's okay too.

I believe your child should be as well rounded or as focused as they feel the need to be. The world needs generalists and it needs specialists. The Yo-Yo Mas, Tiger Woods' and Michael Phelps' of this world may be superstars, but they needed a team of generalists coordinating their rise to stardom; Your child may be a generalist, the glue that holds everything together and the oil that makes the machine work. The one who can make sense of the chaos of the world around them and bring order and harmony. There is great value in that too.

You can't say the well rounded are any more or less worthy or worthless than the superstars. All are needed and all are as valuable as one another.

The smallest pin in a watch as as important as the largest cog, but without a drive mechanism or hands, the piece is worthless. It is only when all the parts come together in concert that it is worth something. Each of the parts is a specialist at what they do, doing one thing extremely well; each a vital piece of the puzzle. But it takes the watchmaker, the generalist who understands the value of all the pieces together, who has the skill (and a lot of patience) to bring them together as a whole that makes the result something useful.
Great thanks. I'll give it another try!

> As someone who's fundamentally opposed to prison for white collar crimes:

I'm curious. What constitutes a white collar crime in your opinion? Is it fundamentally non-violent, or is it really just a class distinction? Would you suggest prison time for armed robbery if the armed robber never hurt anybody over someone who embezzled money? What about kidnapping children but never physically hurting them? What about selling children to buyers who don't physically abuse them? Aren't those crimes very similar to selling children to a for-profit prison system?

I'm really curious what you qualify as a white collar crime and why you don't think it deserves the same level of justice as blue collar crimes.

I'm no expert, but I assumed that HIV meds damage the kidneys, making treatment a balancing act of too aggressive treatment killing the kidneys vs not addressive enough allowing the virus to do its damage.
Being able to grow a replacement kidney would allow more aggressive treatments. I think this would be true of many diseases, though, not just HIV.
I know my mother-in-law has to live with the knowledge that the meds she takes to manage her bipolar disorder may eventually be what kills her, due to kidney disease.
EDIT: I said kidney because the first couple comments referenced kidneys. Could apply to other organs. The basic idea is that meds often damage organs as a side effect, so being able to replace the organ opens up more possibilities for aggressive treatments.

Hello Folks, Lets discuss some of your ways to manage an Unmanaged Hosting platform. Here's My Story behind Managing an Unanaged Hosting.

I am Using DigitalOcean's $10 Droplet which includes, Ubuntu 14.04 x64 and LEMP Stack. Actually I am a Beginner and I have tried several times to host my WordPress on it, But Unfortunately, Each time My WordPress Url return blank. Finally One of my friend recommend me to use EasyEngine and Now I am doing my best with EasyEngine it's rock and Open Source Linux Shell Script which helps me to setup my WordPress blog with just 3 commands.

What do you think about EasyEngine, Have you used it before? Share your wisdom about ee or Is there any other Open Source program you use to manage your Unmanaged Hosting?

You are correct but there are third party options. Voting for the "lesser of two evils" is poisonous and the public should be made aware of third++ parties.
Now what you have to consider is two things; first "what happens if the % isn't met?" simply put the state pays for "virtual prisoners" between the actual % and the agreed upon % (e.g. 100 non-existent prisoners will be paid for as if they existed).

Not to mention that if there are public and private prisons in the same state, they can always move them.

In PoW chains 10 second confirmations are a bug, not a feature. If Bitcoin's confirmation times were 10 seconds, you would have 1/60th the amount of hashing power/energy securing a block to the chain, which would be trivial to compromise. The solution to instant confirmations are in the form of 'latency insurance', underwritten by a trusted provider. This is implemented in Bitcoin via BIP70. It will provide 'instant' transactions.

Especially in this case. Saying something like, "I couldn't go back to sleep after that earthquake woke me up" is the kind of thing many people would share on twitter, facebook, or around the water cooler with coworkers.
Maybe there's a better way to show it. But the sentence definitely has too many words in it. You could just drop the word "with" from the end and it would work fine. So "with" is a preposition, and the object seems to be the earlier word "preposition", but that word is already the object of "to use" without needing a prepositional phrase. The word "with" is tacked onto the end with no structure.
It most all cases though it is a heads I win tails you lose situation.
I'm a bit puzzled what symbols are. If you want a unique thing that !== anything except itself, make an empty object. It seems to me: var foo = Symbol("foo") ought to let you dereference via bar.foo vs. bar[foo] (the latter shouldn't even work!) or it's not what it seems it wants to be.
Why the JavaScript World Is Still Waiting for Node.js 1.0
In my opinion that's a bit creepy. A child who is loved unconditionally can never understand unconditional love.

You can never see what's always there, such as the air we breathe. You can only understand it by logic and that's not until your teenage years, at the earliest. How could a toddler possibly understand love?

Edit: To clarity, of course you should love your children, unconditionally. But to teach them what unconditional love is, at an early age? Really?

List of Swift Cheat Sheets
Oh my, the inner platform effect is strong with this one.

> When I (or anyone else) am on the web, I’m always in-browser.

How long did it take you to figure that one out?

The infrastructure of the internet is not broken and it never was - it is inherently P2P to begin with, and we've only constructed these centralized models on top of it - the chief suspect being the web/web server. Yes, the web is broken, how does that lead to operating-system-phobia?

> Personally, I don’t want foreign software interacting with other outside sources running on my computer at all times.

What do you think that JavaScript that powers interactivity on the web is doing: it's foreign invasive software which you don't even get to decide whether or not you'd like to run (bar installing browser add-ons).

> While this work is influential, P2P isn’t part of the web, and the need to install proprietary apps creates added friction

This is backwards: The P2P apps are free software, but the JavaScript you're downloading and running is mostly proprietary, and you can't decide to not run it.

The browser is the most invasive software you can get on a modern computer - it wants to do everything - literally to the point where it is attempting to hijack the OS.

There's still plenty it can't do though - it can't interact with other software on the host machine - or even other web apps hosted on different servers. The browser is a walled garden which does not let information out onto a user's machine, bar them clicking "download".

At best, we can install a local web server on the machine, navigate to some pages it hosts via the browser, and have the web server translate HTTP requests into some more meaningful OS interaction - thereby escaping the web.

And no, re-writing all of our software to be web based is not a solution to this problem. The web should be augmenting our operating systems, not replacing them.

Though the article only briefly touches on it, the Koreans are far from having a stronghold in the industry. With razor thin margins, the vast majority of these businesses are in perpetually precarious situations. Many of these businesses went belly up in the early 2000s as the industry became a race to the bottom. This recent resurgence is the result of some of these family businesses being able to win back some margin via the second generation being able to acclimate themselves into American and overall high fashion society; they're no longer just a commodity businesses but also the trend setters. However, they're far from the only ones doing it. The chinese, in particular, are starting to even outpace the Korean families.

Pulling the curtain on "ticketed passengers only" as the crown jewel of this airport security theatre. Or as I call it the "TSA smoke and miroros/window dressing security" show.

There is one security policy, which everyone should be aware of for the farce it is and represents. It is the taking away of YOUR freedom of movement at your airport. This useless waste of time and manpower of only allowing persons with tickets past the security screening areas, known as "ticketed passengers only". Don't be fooled, "ticketed passengers only" is NOT a security measure. The following is only a partial list as to why this is a waste of time. I know, I worked as a supervisor at a security checkpoint for five years, and for the last 10 years have worked for a major airline.

There's the question of how our nations deal with the critical question of preserving both a reasonable measure of safety with individual rights in general. Striking a balance between feeling safe as opposed to being safe, and being free at the same time, is the most tenuous security concern of all. Averill Hecht Cheltenham, Pa.

I actually think this calculation methodology for "market cap" is flawed. The whole notion of market capitalization comes from the equity markets. It's calculated based on the total number of shares issued by the corporate treasury -- not the public float of an equity. (Public float means the number of shares that are released into public markets).

When a public company does a secondary offering and releases more shares, that clearly doesn't result in an increased market cap. The market already knew that those shares existed, even if they weren't publicly traded yet, and things are priced accordingly.

The convention for BTC and cryptocurrency in general seems to be to calculate market cap based on the total number of BTC that have been mined so far (~13mm). That's like the float. I'd argue that we should be using 21mm to calculate BTC market cap, since that's effectively what the "bitcoin treasury" has authorized. (To follow the anology, I think of BTC as doing a small secondary offering every 10 minutes.... but the market already knows this information and prices things accordingly. It should not result in an increasing market cap every time a new block is mined).

Accordingly, I'd argue that this is a more accurate representation of market cap (view by total supply): http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/views/market-cap-by-tota...

You can find a lot of stocks in the market with a very low float. For example, Pandora and LinkedIn only IPO'ed ~9% of the total shares.[1] i.e. The float is ~9% but the market cap is calculated based on the full 100% shares that are authorized by the treasury, even if they are held by the company and not publicly traded. The market still knows that those shares exist and can be released to the market at a future date.

Of the many problems with Proof of Stake, "Centralization" and the trivial-ness of a rollback are probably the two largest. (Though the "nothing is at stake" argument is very compelling) It's likely that Stake-chains are a wonderful way to run a company. It's probable that Stake-chains won't secure enough trust to maintain 'platforms' amongst anonymous and antagonistic holders. IMO
This is a good point but interestingly within Scotland (i.e. the target audience) the question doesn't need to be explicitly stated. People will have "Yes" (or "Aye") or "No" badges on their facebook profiles without any context.

The remaining "value" of journals is as a brand. One journal may have a reputation as being more selective than another, so a reader might assume the quality of the research is higher, or more novel, or whatever other attributes are associated with the brand.

Whether this is true or a helpful distinction is another matter, but it does distinguish the journal approach from what you describe.
