discriminating by age is ok in the workplace. only 40+ is a protected class in the US.

How is borrowing then selling 140% of the available shares legal? How is that not market manipulation?

This is the market at work. This was taken too far and the market has a method for correcting this behavior and we're seeing it now. The difference is retail is going to win AND there's no backroom deal to be made to stop the bleeding.

We NEED financial reform but we need to look at what allowed this situation in the first place, not ways to silence what are effectively the whistle blowers.

yup, it looks like trump's says the same thing https://www.state.gov/biographies/donald-j-trump/

Totally makes sense as a plugin - I love vscode for both golang and javascript. The IDE itself seems clunky but I'm not against IDEs themselves.

I feel like people upvoted this because it said don't use eclipse but didn't read the article. Now I'm questioning my sanity - given a choice, do professional developers choose to use eclipse?

The question is somewhat loaded given the previous statement based on my own biases but I've never written java professionally so excuse my ignorance.

Add this to your global git config `[alias]` block:

    cpr="!f() { git fetch origin refs/pull/$1/head && git checkout FETCH_HEAD; }; f"

Such is life

I love the infinite time explanation. It's a great way to explain how/why tradeoffs are made. I haven't been able to put it so succinctly, so, uhhh... that's mine now I'm stealing it. Please credit me in your original post.

GNU switched to GPL v3 a while ago, I imagine this is a license thing

Did you read the sentence right below that conveniently cropped screenshot?

It sounds like they're only suspending free accounts for adblockers. At the same time, I don't mind spotify tracking how I use the application. It generates valuable data for their product managers to improve the overall experience. If there's evidence spotify is using this data to track users across the internet, then there's problem.

I love my standing desk for these reasons. The tailor that did my wedding tux last year also commented on my posture being near perfect. I attribute it wholly (maybe inaccurately) to using a standing desk (and standing most of the day) for the last three years.

Also, maybe it's all in my head, I don't get that "afternoon drowsiness" at all since I started standing up after lunch instead of eating and then sitting in a comfy chair.

The NSA has never done something on this scale. With sec researchers looking at _everything_ right now it would have been uncovered by now. The major point in this story wasn't a hardware hack, it was a hardware hack on a MASSIVE scale, a scale that would have to be treated as an act of war against the _rest of the world_.

If this article were true it would have been the first public volley in WWIII.

Pros:

* Technical skills sink or swim very quickly - you'll learn vastly more in the same period of time at a startup than you will at a big company. Or you'll fail.

* You learn to accept that failure isn't as bad as high school / college would have you believe - as long as you learn from it.

* Invaluable leadership experience very early on.

* A lot more responsibility early on - if you like to take charge and see things through it's a wonderful experience.

* Startups are usually founded by intelligent, successful, driven people - based on head count you usually work closely with them and have the opportunity to soak in that knowledge and experience.

* Connections. When you're young / early in your career a startup puts you in situations to meet people you wouldn't normally be in the same room with at a large company.

Cons:

* Equity is a joke. Liquidation preferences are always against the employee no matter how early. I'm at my second startup and anytime I hear a coworker talk about taking a pay cut because they got equity I cringe.

* The pay CAN suck, it doesn't have to. It took two tries but at my second startup (current job) I'm paid fairly. Maybe slightly less than I would be making in the same role at a large company but coming here included a promotion I was 6-12 months away from at the previous large company.

Neutral:

* Transparency. Some startups keep everyone in the dark about cash on hand, burn rates, fundrasiing, etc. Do not work for one of those startups.

With 100B XRP eventually in circulation, $10 would give it a preposterous market cap. The current price is based on only 38B tokens in circulation.

The same one whose currency essentially powers the world economy via the petrodollar?

The argument is "corporations need certainty" for planning for the future. If tax cuts can expire it creates a "will they or won't they" situation around whether or not they'll be extended.

https://github.com/bcruddy/taco - a create-react-app + redux + express boilerplate. It currently grabs pricing data for BTC, ETH, and LTC and I mostly put it together for myself about a month ago.

https://github.com/bcruddy/GramLikeCam - my Panthers' fan friends seem to enjoy it. Initially I wanted to write a bot that would grab new instagram posts from Cam Newton and translate the weird characters he uses into plain english and post it as the first comment but ended up going pretty much the opposite direction.

If you get a $1,000 loan at 1% interest each month, how much will you owe in 1 year?

Pe = nRT is actually the first thing taught in calc 1.

I get that this is designed to facilitate "learning to code within the context of the visual arts" and I think that's great but holy shit tone down the javascript nonsense on your website. Granted, I'm not the target audience but the site was gorgeous before the animations started. Simple, complimentary colors made me want to read the carefully chosen font face.

You think a bunch of teens orchestrated a global attack on this scale? Surely this is satire and you dropped the /s right?

Babel and webpack make debugging with the v8 debugger a nightmare. How do you approach that and avoid using console.log everywhere? console.log can be great and 90% of the time it's enough but for that other 10% I'd rather my debugging observe the execution context instead of being part of it.

Yeah.. whoops. Thanks for pointing that out.

Red Hat's market cap is almost $15B and they're worth $2B. Definitely not incompatible.

Voltaire was French. Evelyn Beatrice Hall used the quote to sum up his beliefs in the biography she wrote about him. She was English.

A buddy and I started https://goatattack.com last year. It doesn't generate a ton of revenue but we enjoy it and people seem to like it. It runs itself at this point.

Basically, some rules were established that allowed patent cases to be heard lightning fast in Texas' Eastern District and generally in favor of the plaintiff because the patent trolls knew these different rules for presenting arguments better than defendants did and abused the system.

"Ward’s rules unleashed what became known as the 'rocket docket.' In his first year on the bench, Ward heard 5 patent cases. In 2006 his docket had 87. 'I did not anticipate that there would be an explosion of lawsuits,' says the now-retired judge."

"Yet Marshall soon gained a reputation the judges may not have welcomed: it became known as a plaintiff’s playground, a place that frequently handed out tens, or even hundreds, of millions of dollars in damage awards. In 2006 the New York Times reported that of the patent cases that went to trial in Marshall, jurors ruled for plaintiffs 78 percent of the time, far more than the national average of 59 percent. From 2001 to 2006, plaintiffs prevailed in eighteen straight verdicts in Marshall."

I think so. I believe he should 1000% have been appointed one in the criminal case had he not been able to pay for one and he won the criminal case before he was sued.
