It's more than 1, that is for damn sure. A militia is an organization, not an individual. Well-regulated organizations have a stated and understood mission, rules as to how that mission will and will not be pursued, and governance tha

Deadspin was the ONLY sports site I would go to, largely because it was the one place where you could count on the writers to examine the context that sports occurs in. Sports doesn't exist in a vacuum. Deadspin was the place where

The intersection of the sunk cost fallacy and super-voting shares are the root of this ridiculousness. There's nothing unique about Neumann. Charlatans like him are everywhere. What's interesting about this case is that both labo

A house is the only highly leveraged long term asset not subject to margin calls. In a normal fixed interest mortgage, you can be forced to liquidate based on inability to service the debt, but not because of depreciation of the asset. Th

Patientplatypus was overly kind in describing this as a stretch. It hinges on an obscene misrepresentation of the intent behind safety spaces and total ignorance as to what goes on inside them. Discussing safe spaces without mentioning tra

Even for large organizations, the most compelling argument for the cloud is capital structure and the risks associated with holding assets that may not prove to be productive. We inherently understand the advantage of the cloud for startup

It is not quite as easy as you suppose. The Bank Holding Company act of 1956 (as amended in 1970) places any company that owns 25% or more of a bank under the regulatory supervision of the Fed. The holding company rules for Broker/De

It's a good article and the strategy is appropriate as part of a more diverse portfolio. My point wasn't that the article was bad, but that holding till maturity only gives the illusion of bypassing interest rate risk. "The

This under-represents the risks of bond investment. While it's true that the credit risk of treasuries is incredibly low, interest rate and inflation risk needs to be addressed more seriously than it is in this post. In today's m

Use SSH keys generated and stored on some sort of PKCS11/PIV hardware device. It’s relatively easy to do now. Don’t trust a general purpose computer to keep your keys secure. Better yet, use U2F where you have control of how you are

Early programming jobs were highly technical but seen as secretarial in nature by scientists/engineers focused on hardware and a “how hard could it be” attitude about programming.

Yeah, we were also told it’s what rape would look like. Instead, rape looks a lot more like our teachers, bosses, or husbands. When a terrorist detonates a nuclear weapon in the U.S., the bomb is likely to have been made on American soil b

I lived/worked in New York when financial service companies handed out car service vouchers to those who had to work late (and to everyone at any official event involving alcohol). That was equally weird and more wasteful.

As a retail customer, I love this device. Ritual Coffee uses one in their Valencia St store. It’s fast for both NFC and chip card purchases. The card slot for the chip reader is a little too low key. The NFC reader is very forgiving as

Its origins are with TENEX and from there TOPS-20. TOPS-20 was ubiquitous in computer science departments in the early 80s when I worked at DEC. The release of TENEX precedes the release of Unix by a year or so and the release of the first

In the US, owning a bank changes the regulatory status of the entire legal entity structure. This cannot be evaded with shell companies, etc. Specifically, “any company that controls a bank” is a Bank Holding Company and is regulated by t
