Who has scanners (and printers) these days? And going to Fedex to print/scan is a cost too.

Congrats on the launch, Laila and Iliana!

Quick question: why are the companies with on-site jobs restricted to Europe and Canada (if they are in fact restricted)?

Thanks!

The QR code is just a url that points to the menu, so you can load it on your phone.

I never knew community colleges were predatory and for profit. Aren't they public institutions? Do you have any good references you can share? Thanks

It'd be interesting to do this analysis with other type of vehicles, like scooters or bikes. The mileage/depreciation is substantially lower, to the point where it might not be that bad of a pay (and if you're biking, you can get some exercise too).

Indeed, we agree on this. But I never claimed there wasn't one...

The statement is NOT "it's ok because he didn't know". The statement is "he probably didn't know". If he did have sex with her, it's still not ok, regardless of whether he knew or not. And yes, he would still go to jail.

I think the news (and many others) are misunderstanding what rms said (or they intentionally misrepresented his words).

The way I understand what rms said is that the victim would've acted ("presented herself") as willing to Minsky, while being coerced by Epstein. That does not imply she was actually willing in any way shape or form.

I think you're misunderstanding it too, based on your statement: "RMS doesn't seem to understand what willing means."

The way I see it, what rms did was (strategically) dumb and tactless, but not unethical at all.

Exactly, it could have been one. Claiming that it was is inaccurate.

Well, yeah, pretty much.

In number theory you study properties/patterns of the numbers. This is an example of such a property.

These properties often seem like they don’t have any applications, and often they don’t, but not always. For example, cryptography is basically all based on number theory.

The problem is not to enumerate or find the set of numbers that are sums of cubes.

The conjecture is: every integer that is not of the form 9k+4 or 9k+5 can be expressed as the sum of 3 cubes (and, in infinitely many ways).

Blaze was the internal tool developed at Google. Bazel is the external incarnation.

My rule of thumb: if I hear a mistake once, I let it pass (maybe it was just a one-off mistake instead of a misconception). If it hear it twice, I offer the correction kindly. All such interactions have been met with gratitude.

Why? The uncertainty is implied by the use of the word "might"

I am a host. I pay $80 for cleaning the unit. I have to pay regardless of whether the guest stayed 1 night or 2 weeks. 1-night stays end up being very expensive.

And I agree with Airbnb being like Ticketmaster in the fees department. It's insane. What's more annoying is that guests often attribute faults (like the fees, or the myriad of bugs in the app that makes hosting hard) to the hosts, not to Airbnb itself. The hosting experience is really painful.

Why do you claim the shortages are due to suppliers becoming malicious?

Why do you claim the US sanctions are to blame, when said sanctions have only been applied to individuals? (Unless there are new ones I'm not aware of).

You can't just pick and choose a bad economic sanction from the past and claim all economic sanctions are bad and cause misery.

The lack of food and medicine in Venezuela is purely the Venezuelan government's fault, and Jorge Arreaza (an in general, the entire Venezuelan government) has used the US as a scapegoat for the past 20 years.

Maybe we should build a tool that makes this easier for landlords.

nit: there's no such thing as an accredited investor application.

Can someone (or a link) explain how these tariffs actually work in practice? As in, what does "25% tariffs on $16B" mean, exactly?

Do you have some example companies to read about?

The studio (content-owner) is who receives the proceeds of monetization, even if they didn't upload the video themselves.

No, market orders aren't free.

Wash the clean plates?

Thanks for sharing!

BTW, I think your terminology of "passing out" for graduating college is confusing (at least for Americans?). I've never heard the term used in that way. Passing out is more commonly used to mean fainting or falling asleep.

Wait, since when does GDAX allow short-selling?

Well there's nothing new here.

Also, such poor headline. "Be ready to lose all your money" sounds like a threat. He really said "be prepared to lose all your money", which sounds more like sound advice.
