What I do is I do the percentage split on money I direct towards investments. So I have X dollars to invest in a month, 25% will go to high-risk, 65% medium, 10% low-risk. Any profits coming from a certain risk section will be reinvested in

If backflipping robots do the easier work, then what is left for humans is the more complex well paying work. When you remove the lower paying jobs from the average calculation, the average will rise. Indeed the article even states that at

What would be the tax implications of this in USA? I imagine there isn't a bill given by another entity, but this is rather a bitcoin/cash transaction. In my country this would mean this payout would be hit with all the taxes [1],

The article seems to be all about Twitch. Chinese people don't really use Twitch, they have their own clones like Douyu. So while the percentage of Chinese players doesn't mean much from a global viewpoint, it matters a ton if we&

I frequently experience a variant of this where they don't even know who I am. Me: Hello! Caller: Am I talking to an individual or a company? Me: You should know who you're calling. My answer really throws a wrench into their flow

I never set out to explain strategies of life, and I'm not sure why you thought otherwise. My argument is much more simpler than that. Like I said, it's about the environment. It doesn't really matter what strategy a beetle o

I think pointing out facts like primate fairness is missing the forest for the trees. [1] To me the crux of the argument is that the environment of a new lifeform isn't constant. Indeed, it's pretty much guaranteed to be different

I'm confused by your comment. It feels like you're upset about the parent advocating for unfair life, but I think they're merely pointing out what they're observing, not making any moral arguments of what should be. Are

Close to zero chance of Intel being allowed to buy AMD, unless they open up x86 for others. Although if alternative architectures like ARM start gaining some actual ground on desktops/laptops, say in 20 years, then it might not trigger

Unfortunately that's only a partial solution. Some languages produce much longer text than English, either by using more words or just longer words. If you design the UI with only English text lengths, then you'll still need to re

The situation is perhaps even worse on iPhone 6, which I have. It feels like Apple doesn't test iOS on older hardware. For example the camera app has rotation freezing problems [1] half the time I open it. It's not a rare occuranc

Perhaps you'll decide to buy a competitor like Dropbox, choose their product as the one true product and close down OneDrive. Like you bought Skype and shut down MSN Messenger. That said, it probably won't happen overnight and it&

It has never been the only option on Google App Engine (GAE). Bcrypt is exactly what I used in my GAE app back in 2009, though I have since moved on to scrypt. Bcrypt can be implemented in non-C languages, and there are libraries available

Well said. It was real clear to me when in the middle of the article there is the following line: “That’s the point,” I said, now in tears, “I don’t want to have to ask.” Either she has communication problems and is unwilling to have even

There are Russian forces in Crimea sure, but so are US forces in South Korea, or in Afghanistan if you prefer active combat. Doesn't mean they're US territories. Most countries see Crimea as part of Ukraine. [1] -- [1] https:&#x2

One way to soften the political blow of that question would be to store Crimean user data in Crimea.

A decent workaround for WSJ right now is facebook referrer. If you don't want to manually set the referrer, you can use this redirect link http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u={LINK_HERE}

Did you actually read the article? It says that two-thirds of the victims in Britain are men while, globally, most are women . It's not about women in the UK.

If you're young, in an area with frequent attacks, moving with a gang, and not on a trajectory from the store to the location of your claimed clogged drain, then yes, I'd say it's pretty incriminating. Street officers are usu

I've noticed this trend as well, and it's accelerating fast. It's an unsolicited popup asking premission to send more popups. Thus I decided to completely turn off the notifications feature in my Chrome.

Fingerprint based system seems like an interesting choice. Don't these people do a lot of manual labor that scratches fingers? I sometimes have identifying trouble myself due to finger damage and I sit in an office.

In regards to there being more than expected air in the tunnel - the vehicle would be slower, but not much else right? Less air than expected inside the vehicle could be life-threatening for breathers. For humans we could solve this with an

Your post lacks information on the part of why the WSJ model isn't acceptable. Paying money for a newspaper isn't exactly unprecedented, and there are plenty of people who are fine with that model.

My heart skipped a beat when I read the title as App Engine Farewell. Have been actively using App Engine since 2009 and the love it gets has been on a long downslide. Happy to see this feature come out though, the previous lightweight dos.

Not being able to sue with patents is not something I give much value to. Software patents aren't even valid where I live and operate. They concern me only as far as USA has the will to have a global jurisdiction. However if Facebook w

There's more to suing than the likelihood of winning. War of attrition is a big one. If you have a lot of resources you can sue just to cause financial damage, emotional distress etc to the defendant without having to actually eventual

This is a narrow view that only looks at the amount of money. It's perfectly valid to choose investment opportunities based on other factors. One can choose to invest in a local enterprise because it'll help the local community. Y

I can personally clearly see the difference between 1080p and 4K even on phone screens. I guess it can be puzzling indeed if 4K seems like an irrelevant buzzword, but for many it's a significant improvement. What's more, I've
