The Romans used asbestos cloth to keep the ashes of their dead separate from the ashes of the funeral pyre. The ashes of the dead would be entombed with the asbestos cloth, which was extremely expensive. Occasionally a tomb will be found

Can you shed some light on this? How are you involved with fundraising via ICO? And how is it so much worse? If anything, I would guess it would be loads easier than traditional fundraising, because so many people seem willing to park their

For my part, I recognized after I got married that I was coming home and applying the same mental model I used at work in conversations with my wife: I was there exclusively to solve problems. My wife just wanted me to listen while she told

Yes, and additionally it seems the AA rep is using some pretty sneaky weasel words, making it seem like the contract is to blame for the limitation on overtime, when we can pretty much guarantee it's not. Capped overtime pay is somet

I totally believe it. I don't ship anything from China specifically anything else but epacket, but I do know that elsewhere in southeast Asia, it's either DHL or eons of waiting.

Well, organizations are made of people, and organizations can and do have inefficiencies. I completely understand what you're saying, but wouldn't we just be using code words if we said something else?

Well, for one, spoofing is absolutely probably the most common bot trading strategy in use on any crypto exchange. You really can't trust the order book too much except for major support/resistance levels, because everybody's

This is tough. I would suggest looking through Github for some basic algotrading bot repos. This will give you a real basic foundation for strategy. Besides that, the way I learned my strategies was to sit, for hours, in front of GDAX and w

My first language was C, back in the early 90s -- from nothing but the K&R book -- and I did learn pointers before I learned my next language (like truly grok them, have the ability to visualize the concept viscerally). When people in i

I had an interesting experience recently. I ordered a cheap $20 multimeter from Amazon (which was highly rated on EEVblog), which was shipped from China. Interestingly, the Chinese seller shipped me a single little worthless plastic packet

Just to be clear, the other guy has no idea what he's talking about and is some kind of wacko conspiracy theorist.

You have no idea what you are talking about. I think you are talking about the "zombie riot" civic emergency drills conducted in recent years, but I'm talking about specifically something my army unit did (develop SOPs for a

I do this with cryptocurrency (ethereum and bitcoin) with what is now quite a lot of money, but I've pulled most of it out recently since this run cannot last. It will correct and people will lose lots of money. Except for that,

Indeed. Even SOPs for a zombie apocalypse. Now, before you downvote, I'm being totally serious, even if the SOPs aren't.

I dunno. I spent a bunch of years shooting at people and getting shot at, literally, and I can't tell you how much that has helped me not take this dreamlike existence for granted. This post serves as a reminder that the biggest probl

Absolutely the truth. Starting my business was the most stressful and intense thing I have done in my life outside of combat, and I don't even have kids to support. Staring down the barrel of rent and bills with no one to back you up

This is my go-to method for doing that. Years ago, in the 90s, I used that trick (with ftp) to overwrite a custom login script used to "prevent" users from logging in. You'd login and it would spit out like "You are not

Sure, but my question was really aimed at something deeper. I agree that they're in the corporate open space office. But that doesn't answer the question of why they're there, on the whole, and leaves the question of getting
