Thanks again for the response and the photo. I was expecting the more inexpensive compressed fiber-board stuff. I'm replacing old flooring in my house, and I want to avoid anything like what you described.

Sorry you had to deal with that. I worked with some formaldehyde containing (out gassing) material once. It was not fun. After I started developing nose bleeds we got that crap out of our lab and started using masks around it.

Assuming you only care about your own life. If the two alternatives are (1) be kidnapped, do some work, then murdered vs (2) fight to the death and have your family killed in retaliation, I could see how your suggested personal rule might be suboptimal for a lot of people living in that area.

This has happened to me with two different people. Both times my face apparently transformed into the face of the person's father - while we were sleeping together. Only one of the times was after the person smoked pot. It was scary to say the least, and scarier when the first one ran to the kitchen and grabbed a chef's knife.

Life lesson: before you get in a relationship, ask about any history of mental disorder or medications being taken. Some people don't tell you about these things until they happen.

You can bet that they were aware of this possibility.

With respect to predict the future, their horizon for that is less than a second, and some simply make money on every share that the trade. And as kasey_junk points out, none of this is about predicting anything. It is about making informed bets. Millions of informed bets.

I find your response a bit insulting and presumptuous.

I'm sufficiently well developed to separate my feelings about a politician from their political party, and in turn from my own feelings about an abstract ethical scenario. And none of this is to say anything about my political beliefs, which are personal and none of anyones beeswax.

This isn't abstract either, as some other poster mentioned, this is widespread, bipartisan behavior. I think that if there is evidence of malfeasance, then they should be required to produce their email (privately served or not) via subpoena. I can see the loophole about having people policing their own email archiving, but I honestly do not know if that is illegal, hence why I asked if any experts here knew if this violated any laws or policies.

EDIT: also, you assume this is sourced from a conservative or Republican group? Primaries happen before generals.

This 2009 case from the Delaware Chancery Court seems on point: In re Trados Incorporation Shareholder Litigation (http://courts.delaware.gov/opinions/download.aspx?ID=193520)

The whole thing is well worth reading for anyone involved with VC funded startups. It involved an acquisition with a management incentive plan and preferences that together left nothing for common.

Among other things the court held that where there is a conflict of interest the board must prefer the interests of common shareholders over those specific to preferred (the interests of preferred over common being contractual). It also found that the board had acted procedurally unfairly and in several places suggested outright dishonesty. For those reasons it applied the harshest standard under Delaware law (entire fairness).

In the end however, it found that the company's value as an ongoing concern though not nothing, was not enough to overcome the large liquidation preference and cumulative dividend. Thus, since prior to the deal common stock was worthless a deal valuing them as worthless was fair within the meaning of Delaware law. Note that the litigation lasted 8 years, and at the end of the linked decision it was an open question whether the defendants were going to have to pay plaintiff's legal fees despite having won. (I couldn't find any information on what was ultimately decided there.)
You and mortehu upthread have mentioned Schengen in the context of being allowed to reside in any country within the area. That's not what Schengen is about, you're thinking of the European Economic Area.

Schengen is a customs union which allows passport-free travel within its borders, but the EEA is the area you can freely migrate within.
You ... get used to it. Familiarity, is, as mentioned, the key - narrating the location and why it should be familiar and when they moved there and ways they can prove it's theirs (e.g. keys fitting the front door) tend to help quite a bit. A dissociated mind still wants to believe it should be where it is and that that makes complete sense, it just doesn't have the data available.

Eventually, with luck, you can get them to remember who you are reasonably quickly, and things get a lot less complicated - having the intelligence to call her ex as a substitute was a brilliant move on the author's part.

In my experience it's neither greed nor obfuscation, but rather along the spectrum of ignorance, cash conservation paranoia, and and/or a misplaced sense of justice.

Ignorance in the case of not knowing it can be done - many "startup" lawyers are operating with a playbook written in 1996.

Cash conservation in the sense of "holy schmoly I'd have to pay $X,XXX upfront in taxes to cover their option purchases???"

And "justice" in the sense of "well I'm taking a personal risk as a founder, so if you're not all in with me then suck it and your options will just go back in the pool when you quit."
Yes - Bunker's commentary (he's the War College professor) seems overly generalized and a bit weird. "Prima donna's"? How does he know know "hacker types" don't function well in captivity? Was there a study?

There's definitely not enough information in the article to draw that conclusion.

Moreover, the description is entirely compatible with a disassociative episode. You have some pretty clear biases you're projecting onto the situation that are clouding your judgement.

EDIT: The original post, now flagkilled, asserted that the girlfriend in the article had faked the episode.
I suspect that technology giants like Google and Facebook are trying to wean themselves from ad revenue, to become conglomerates like other companies of that size, like GE.

The alternative is massive problems in a few years, when somebody has the guts to kickstart a consumer laptop that comes with adblock preinstalled.
I do not agree that having a semi-bad trip makes you forget who your friends are. In fact, I wouldn't call that a semi-bad trip, at all. If someone forgets their friends while tripping (and I assume you mean on acid) they actually, likely, never liked that person enough anyway. Breaking down the barriers and lies is what it does.
Yes, it is pointless for me to argue about an undefined system. If you mean to say that 67% of the validator set must sign every block, then you shouldn't argue with the premise that 100% must sign every block.

Thanks for the mansplanation -- glad that you can tell us all about how voluntary it was from up on your high horse of rationality and the saddle of free will.

Now, whole bodies of academic work, and whole fields of science, would suggest that "little flip out episodes" that can be classified according to well developed criteria are significant enough to be named and described. Naming, description and classification are only means to an end. That is, they serve to help trained professionals (therapists/psychologists) help those that seek a better life. Yes, psychology is not CS with its closed form solutions, but that doesn't mean that it's bunk.
Well for example, a very low interest loan secured by the stock from the company to help you buy it out / deal with AMT tax credits being distributed over the years. Or a bonus to help you buy out your long vested stock and the AMT tax difference you will have, etc.

With the bonus, the stock shenanigans that they can perform will be relatively minor as far as additional expenses would go. If they IPO 4 years later and you get a windfall, good. If they liquidate and you get nothing, oh well.

You could also sell the shares to interested people on something like Equidate. Then you don't have to cash in your options until you have an interested buyer. If you get right of first refusal issues, then the company would be buying out your stock directly in that case.

I've never used something like Equidate, so your milage will definitely vary.
Maybe you should clue in the rest of the bitcoin community, e.g. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1f2ubh/why_bitcoins...

> 13a) Potentially, because of the profit from no fraud and the deflationary nature of Bitcoin. Vendors will realise they can lower their prices for Btc purchases. And when inflation ends, due to no fraud, they will still be able to have lower prices than competitors.

Who forced the concept of nations upon Africans at first place? Who created most Africans and middle Eastern countries? Sure Africans didn't, but Hélène, France, your country sure did well by fucking up these places.Anybody can go see a map. Countries with almost perfect linear shapes , putting tribes and ethnical groups that have nothing to do with each others in the same country, or putting the tribe in 2 different states. Then writing a blog post complaining about how Africa is fucked up ?

Edit: and of course, most of the comments here have nothing to do with the article, which is specifically about the situation in Africa. Nobody read it obviously.

The first one would appear when using global variables which are shared across files, you just wouldn't see it as the pieces would usually be in separate files.

Something like:

/* file.h */
int global_i;

and you have:

/* file.c */
int global_i = 0;

Then if file.c includes file.h both will be in the same file during compilation.
Your post mentions nothing about the necessity of inflation for economic recovery and growth. Indeed is has nothing to do with economics, just listing difficulties for regulators. You bring up the internet but remember that it is goverment regulator who protect and enforce Net neutrality - not Comcast.
Yup, we based this process in large part on what the Python ecosystem does. Those folks are smart.
Its definitely not insider trading. It's a reasonable expectation of research conducted in the public scope.

It's also good investment work. You can get by with a prospectus and a Morningstar rating and call it a day, but if you're going to invest in anything in the immediate term you damn well better be ready to do your homework. One day its a blue chip. The next, its on 60 Minutes and your future is in jeopardy.
> plata o plomo, "silver or lead."

Cartels have stopped this. Now there is simply no reward. It is simply just lead. This is especially true with the ultra-violent Zetas cartel where you pay them and do their bidding so that they don't kill you.

The brutality of the Zetas knows no end. All this just a few hours drive from the US.

That is closer to PTSD than dissociating. Long story short, it sounds like a flashback, and feels precisely like the trauma is happening again. They can last anywhere from a few seconds to a longer period of time.
I wonder if this is actually an attempt to extort the telecom companies? "Pay up or we will kill the people working for you."
Why, they do. Baltic states have around 20% (?) of their population non-resident: moved to other schengen states.

Of course, some people stay. But some people always stay - "Greenfield, CA" is a place that would still exist be there 15 thousand residends or ten times less.

By the way, maybe you can consider it insignificant already.

Sometimes. I have trouble verbalizing a lot of mathematical concepts even though in an abstract sense people wouldn't realize that I couldn't explain why I was acting on things.

Sometimes I can and yes, often then it's a difficulty pulling the correct terminology - now that I'm thinking about it perhaps it's because I'm already struggling to verbalize it anyways. Often if someone starts to lead me it all falls into place which I think somewhat goes along with what I just said here. Kind of like when you're struggling for someone's name, if someone starts to say it usually you remember it before they've even finished the first syllable.

Well the reason for that is because they're given exclusive access to basically launch a missile from US airspace. With a mere change of payload, that rocket can be used to deliver a nuclear warhead. So yeah, it's pretty prudent to have background checks, massive amounts of oversight, and many kill switches. An even if you have all the best intentions, it doesn't take that much to accidentally crash into the ISS and kill everyone aboard. Look at all the maneuvers SpaceX had to do to prove they were capable of docking with the ISS.

Sure, politics comes into play. But the idea of a less-regulated spaceflight industry doesn't seem feasible anytime soon. Even the airline industry is still heavily regulated compared to even automobiles. That's just the risk associated with the massive inherent dangers associated with flight.
I'll skip over the surface contradiction [1].

I believe that you're not really arguing against nations (or states) but against "exclusion". I think you're arguing that there may be political divisions, but that the individuals themselves should be the sole arbiters of which political division they (for lack of a better word) belong to at any given time. Any political subdivision should not be able to exclude someone.

Is that fair?

[1] The surface contradiction is that "nationality is ultimately an obsolete concept" while "political subdivisions are necessary". This apparent contradiction can be resolved in a few ways but I believe I get what you intended. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
If your definition of working class is anyone who works for a living, then you are using a very unconventional definition. Using conventional definitions, the "middle class" consists entirely of people who work for a living. The factor distinguishing them from the working class being that they have significant disposable income.

>As for comparison payment processing space, this is more in point 1. Bitcoin is not cheaper. Bitcoin is extremely expensive to use and intended to be expensive.

Bitcoin is currently overly secure, due to the block subsidy, so therefore total mining costs relative to number of transactions is very high. As the block subsidy diminishes, this ratio will decline

Total security can be maintained, without transaction fees increasing, if transaction volumes increase, which is entirely possible, and is what has historically happened.
