Perhaps that we're conditioned to give Bs more readily than we give Fs.

This is far more effective than the collateral I saw from them 2 or 3 years ago. Glad to see they're making a more serious attempt to monetize. I don't quite understand the constraints on the branded subreddits. That seems like it could b

Wine is a vivid reminder that we're not not just creating value, we're creating perceived value. There are countless products that earn higher margins (and loyalty) because customers like the story, the design or some other aspect of the

I had a PGP key available on my personal website and on the MIT key server from 1994 through 2008. I also had Mutt configured to handle PGP essentially automatically. I killed it because in all that time, I received no encrypted messages.

Personally, I don't want Nest; I'd prefer coherent locally accessible APIs for monitoring and control.

We'd see a lot less abusive behavior from startups if investors went to zero when it happened. As it stands, $800k is a line item equal to only 2% of the money Path has raised. As such, I doubt that anybody who invested in it cares or view

I was wrong. I thought Yahoo adjusted for dividends incompletely but they appear to handle them fully. My apologies for the confusion.

Using the adjusted close assumes that you put your dividend receipts into a mattress so it's still slightly low, but I doubt that's more than .1% or .2% for a typical portfolio over a moderate timeframe. I wholeheartedly agree with you that

The standard figures are definitely optimistic, but when you check your returns make sure to include dividends reinvested. In recent years, they're good for about 2%/yr if you buy something like the S&P 500. I find it somewhat baffling

I run Postgres on ZFS, and simply limit the amount of memory dedicated to the ARC.

This seems like it would be begging for a class-action lawsuit. That said, I've half-joked that probability of receiving my miner is probably about 0.98^(USDBTC).

Sadly, no. I got rid of my copy long ago, and I didn't buy it on Amazon. I want to say the title used the word 'Awesome', but I'm not even sure about that.

If you only get one book on negotiation, get Getting to Yes. If you get two books, get Bargaining for Advantage as well. Bargaining for advantage differs from Getting to Yes in that it's more of a tactical guide, and BFA's advice works not

Yes. This is incredibly accurate. The spinning "HOT" gif might actually be executed a little too well for the 90s. The professional web was bad back then, but usually in slightly different ways. For instance, there were a few years where

Thanks for posting this. It inspired me to figure out how to get my BitCoins out of Coinbase and into my own wallet. I've used MongoDB enough to know that I don't want my money to be held by MongoDB.

Let's remember: she never asked for him to get fired. And I don't think that was a reasonably foreseeable outcome of her comments. The fact that he was fired leads me to two probable conclusions: 1) that his management was terrible and he'

Rails changed the default to safe output about three years ago. 3.0 escaped output out of the gate, and 2.3 switched the default in the 2.3.6 neighborhood. Prior before that, the standard way to sanitize html output was to write <%= h

Atlassian isn't going to spam Stash or BitBucket to the exposed users. They'd get crucified. There might be a few users who were already frustrated and switch on their own, but I think the big problems are an ongoing spearphishing risk and

The difference, according to the lawyers who served as my professors, is that one is considered by the courts to show intent to contract, and that the other is considered by the courts to be negotiation. That said, I'm just repeating what a

Yes, I remember that intent to contract was one of the requirements of an offer, and I remember that intent to contract is indicated by language. To quote my notes: The second element of a valid offer requires the party who offers the pro
