Nice, but is there a virtual monitor app available, so I can work on one giant monitor or several monitors at once?

I got a bit lucky. I bought UVXY before the correction as a hedge against a correction. When my stocks were all declining the UVXY soared, which offset the losses I had in stocks. Overall I ended up 2.5% and could have been up 5% if I sold on the worst of it. But it's so volatile you don't know if it will swing up higher.

Having a Robinhood account I could not buy options, but I didn't know about the SVXY play anyways. Now I do, but who knows if SVXY will survive.

So what is the record it broke? - for crossing the Arctic or a record for a non-Arctic route?

Other than the significance of depleted Arctic ice, the significance in the record-breaking time it took is lost on me.

Broke the record by a second perhaps?

After spending some time machine learning golf for daily fantasy wagering, I came to the conclusion that I will never take up the sport. As a social activity it has its positives, but on the sporting side consistency and improvement are hard to come by.

* Professionals miss the cut n times in a row, then win next tournament.

* The ridiculous "tips" videos with all the machinations and methods they put forth to help you with your game - I'd rather play Twister.

* Equipment - costs and technology changes. Drivers are getting closer to looking like a sawed-off bowling ball attached to a shaft.

However, I do enjoy watching the pros play and Spieth's 13th hole in the British Open and follow up was a memorable event.

The PGA has to be commended for making public a great amount of super-detailed data for use in analysis. I wish the bigger sports did this.

The book "Every Shot Counts" by Mark Broadie may help guide you to improve your game, if you are interested in a data analysis approach.

I think Thursday is a busier traffic day than Friday, here in Los Angeles. There is a term that traffic reporters use in Los Angeles - "Friday Light" traffic.

I wonder if "Friday Light" occurs in the other cities mentioned in the report.

That being said leaving at 7pm is a valid strategy any day of the week here in Los Angeles.

Great reporting.

Great article. Interesting, insightful, and actionable.

Cheers

I was looking at this laptop with 32Gb RAM for development work, where I would be using multiple VirtualBox VMs to simulate (small) clusters. I also would need it to travel well and connect to foreign wifi AP's.

I have a MacBook Pro with Retina display, but I don't like it for developing - it's mostly gathering dust.

My workstation and personal laptop are running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed/KDE, which I love.

I don't mind using a Windows OS as long as I can launch a VM for my development.

But I guess the Dell XPS 15 9560 may not be my best choice given the real-world problems I am reading here.

Viewing the video I see that the paper smolders, smokes and burns, but I see no flames that consume the paper.

So it does not set things on fire.

Maybe change the title to "An IKEA Bowl Has Been Burning Things"

Not everything I wanted to know about ICOs.

Every article I've read is from the speculator perspective, perhaps for potential speculators. I am more interested in knowing about ICOs from the organizational perspective:

After completion of the ICO, how are the crypto-currencies converted to cash in the bank, so you can put the capital to work.

Is there percentage loss of capital when converting to cash, and is this accounted for in the ICO model.

Does converting 10 to 50 million in crypto-currency to cash cause fluctuations in the market value of the crypto-currency.

The project may require resources that only can be purchased with fiat currency. And I assume people working on the project have bills to pay.

Has anyone documented how an organization deals with the crypto-currency that as been raised via a token sale? I suspect that each organization has their own method of converting crypto-currency to working capital.

Pfft! Altering RNA. That's nothing. Once I was in a Los Angeles book store, named Bodhi Tree, where a woman was giving a lecture on altering human DNA using psychic power.

"To say that this whole experience has been traumatizing would be an understatement."

"We are now questioning our Model 3 reservation."

Just "Questioning" the next product purchase?

Does this mean that Tesla is the new Apple?

"Rust and Cockroaches" is the title of Kenny Chesney's next Country Western song.

So Mr. Fry is assuming that 15 year old boys would be willing to give up the treasure trove of Porn that is available to them via the technology he suggest they spurn.

A very unrealistic assumption.
