I think that you made the right choice, though for purely selfish reasons. This post really made an impact on me and seriously, thank you so much for publishing it exactly as it is. I appreciate it was uncomfortable and I feel horrible for his wife, family and work team, but this story seriously out some important things in perspective for me.

Thank you so much.
"Muni bond interest is interest dividend income" that's completely irrelevant. It's easy to get a bond whose payout is treated as capital gains and thus taxed at 15% + state tax. As to AMT, it's relevent specificly because Muni bond's can increase your taxes if your under the AMT. Muni bond's can also increase your taxes if your getting money from SS.

Anyway, your really a perfect example of someone that bought bonds without actually really understanding them or their tax implications that well. Sure, it worked out well for you, but when giving advice it's really important to understand the big picture. Not just, hey it worked for me and your probably in exactly the same situation aka let’s assume without saying that everyone lives in California.
Makes me a little sad.. It's been almost 3 years since Amazon bought Kiva.. no improvements to the tech, and they seem to have just locked up the tech for themselves.

Before Amazon, Kiva was growing at 130%/year and had over $100m/year in revenue.

Hope Amazon eventually starts selling these again.. could really change fulfillment. But not so optimistic.. considering that would be walmart.com and other amazon competitors.
Well, broken anyway.
I downvoted it because it is ghoulish and cynical to use a personal story like this to promote some particular research agenda. Perhaps especially in the case of oncology research, where mainline work is well funded and will be pursuing an endless variety of potential treatments.
The problem is that for office jobs in France, the 35h week never became the 7h day. It just became the same 40h week as before, except you get an extra 12 days holiday a year - so not necessarily more productive.
They have exactly the same "power," they're just spelled differently. "func()" doesn't let you do anything that you can't do with "callable.call()". It's trivial to do everything that isn't syntactic sugar (for example, partial application, passing as arguments for abstraction) that you mention in Java, if a bit tedious (and often pointless, since the standard APIs generally weren't designed with that in mind.) _A Little Java, A Few Patterns_ came out in 1998; give it a read.
> Any update on how the money was spent?

So this is only 1/3 of the Kickstarter to date. The two stretch goals are planned as releases 3.1 and 3.2.

We were significantly overfunded, and I'll treat the extra time/budget flexibly depending on whatever seems highest priority, but it's mostly going towards ensuring I've got headroom for keeping the quality bar super high. (Plus extra time available for general support, triage, etc...)

For transparency I plan to be ending up with treating 10% of the amount received as profit - the rest of the funding is simply covering the costs for the time I'm not working on client projects at DabApps (minus Kickstarter's cut and some taxes of course).

I probably won't give a full time-spent breakout of how long each task has taken, I've not had requests from backers to do that, and not doing so frees me up to spend it however I think best without feeling like I need to justify things on a blow-by-blow basis.
I posted it elsewhere, but I remember it said from my days watching the proliferation of java frameworks: If you aren't using a framework, you're building a framework.

When I spent some time in the node.js world, I felt the same thing: there were a few attempts at frameworks, but most everybody was writing their own glue framework between microlibraries. I am convinced that it is only fun the first few times you have to do it. :) It reminds me a little of the days before server side frameworks, where people were reinventing the wheel (poorly) every project.

Further, I don't think it's necessary to run and learn every single framework that comes out. If something is an order of magnitude better, it will take over the market. (Ember, Angular, and React are all an order of magnitude better than backbone.) There will come something that is an order of magnitude better than these eventually. Until then, just get stuff done.

And frankly, there's no shame in continuing to render on the server until that next generation leap comes.

Well if you're storing integers or other other small (8-byte) elements, then sure. But if you are storing pointers to objects, then you'll have the overhead of a load (in the comparison function). If you are embedding the objects, then the larger it is the more "copy-overhead" you will have as you move these large elements around when re-balancing and so on. But I don't have the numbers for this, so it might be insignificant overhead. I have it on my todo-list to benchmark embedded-larger-elements and pointers to those elements. Anyway, just something to consider.
Plenty of them do give algorithms/code.

There is software which will generate the 3D model required from a sound file. There have been records 3D printed [1], but the quality is much, much worse than an actual record.

[1]: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/129971-vinyl-records-are-far...

The stylus size on an LP is something like 2.5 thousandths of an inch, or about 63.5 um. The printer used in the link above (an Objet500 Connex) has a minimum layer thickness of 16 um. The article talks about 600 DPI, which may be a horizontal resolution? That works out at around 42 um. The Objet website just gives a minimum resolution of 16 um.

Either way, when you look on the scale of the needle your groove is going to have a lot of hysteresis - essentially appearing very blocky. The high frequency sound components are going to be lost completely.

There will obviously be improvements on resolution. The problem is that to build something which can accurately make records with high frequency sounds (perhaps 15kHz), you need to build it to very high tolerances. It's very hard to make those sort of tolerances cheap.

Some low cost 3D printers have been made which use UV light to cure epoxy resin layer by layer. The 2D resolution of those technologies is dependent on the resolution of the UV projector rather than the mechanical tolerances of the rails and extruder, so there's a lot more potential for high resolution prints there. The Z direction is still dependent on mechanical movement though.
What a coincidence, earlier today we studied these equations in class, only we used different names:

Maxwell-Faraday equation.

Maxwell-Gauss equation.

Repeat after me: I am not selling training. I am selling a more capable, more efficient development shop.

If you're teaching a group of twenty developers and you're going to make them just 10% more efficient, then guess what. You've just made the company AVERAGE_YEARLY_SALARY * 20 People * 10% == AVERAGE_YEARLY_SALARY * 2 (that's the benefit to the company).

The better question to ask is, how much do I charge for handing the company $300,000 (or whatever it is you're saving them).
What I didn't understand about these pings is wouldn't their wavelength be massively lengthened by the time dilation? How did they even receive Miller's signal if it was redshifted ~60000 times?

If the training is going to take 40 hours, that means you're likely going to spend close to 80 hours all told (prep, making up lesson plans, unexpected overages, etc). I would recommend you plan accordingly.

10k per person per week isn't out of the ordinary (I don't charge that, but I know those that do, or more), but if it's your first time to the rodeo, 2k per would be much more reasonable.

Maybe everything after he fell in was a dream of his? This would actually make it much more interesting for me although many people probably wouldn't like this sort of ending.
I think there will remain a minority, yes. Probably older devices which still work fine otherwise (especially appliances, sensors, etc). We'll probably see a bunch of such IPv4 LANs behind NAT64 gateways, so that the rest of the 'net can still talk to them.

But I don't think having more free space will make much difference; they can use a reserved IPv4 address (in the 10.* range or so) and have a public IPv6 address configured in the NAT gateway.
FWIW, Skype supports the channel-focused communication style you describe. It's just a matter of company culture on whether there are channels for everything or you contact people individually. That said, having worked somewhere that used Skype channels and somewhere that used Slack, I prefer Slack. The Skype channel experience on mobile is terrible, and the Skype client on linux is a second-class citizen.
