Sure, but I can imagine that wealthy western investors also want exposure to growth in China (capital inflows).

I really don't understand the capital flight argument. The Chinese economy has seen overwhelming growth in the past 10 years. If you are searching for yield, it's in China.

not necessary to launder if you steal something like zcash or monero.

so....AOL chatrooms?

yes their support is really terrible. No longer a customer

I just tried :cached. For rails asset compilation I didn't notice a difference. Still unusable in my opinion.

Over the past week I went through all the motions of setting up docker for mac with docker-compose for a local ruby/rails development environment. I was excited about the prospect of using containers to silo my app and all it's system dependencies, and also make it easier to onboard new developers. My setup had 3 containers. One for app, elasticsearch, and postgres. Unfortunately I have to go back to running my app directly on the system. I am leaving elasticsearch and postgres containerized, however.

The docker for mac setup is seriously bottlenecked by slow volume read/write performance. There is an ongoing discussion here on the issue: https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/77. Even after adding the new :cached option to my volume declaration in docker-compose yml file, performance was a huge issue.

My app leverages babel, as I write some react components in ES6 and transpile them to ship to the client. Right now transpilation after changing any javascript code results in a minute + of transpilation time as docker for mac has yet to solve the performance problem. This resulted in a totally unacceptable environment to write code and test in. Also, rails boot time on docker for mac was crazy slow. Running unit tests became a huge pain in the ass.

Thanks, I will add more info. Essentially, we use an API (like Plaid) to ACH transfer, then use Lob to cut paper checks and mail to landlords

Second this. I'm making my way through the book now. I'm impressed by how well it articulates concepts from the ground-up.

https://coursefriend.com/ is my side project that helps people find courses for stuff they want to learn. Let me know what you think

Is there any kind of image stabilization? Or is that not needed?

For the question "What will your company make?" do you recommend that startups focus on explaining what they've already built, or on what they will build out in the future? Thanks!

If founders have a product already deployed but have many future plans for it, do you recommend they focus on explaining what the product is currently, or what the plans are for the future state of the product? (for the question "What are you going to make?")

Free trade between private corporations and individuals is a capitalist concept. After all, free trade is predicated on the ability for a single actor to decide how to allocate goods and services.

Communism in Cuba has at least remained true to its roots, imposing, for more than half a century, a juvenile notion of egalitarianism on the masses. Rather than uplifting them, this has reinforced the lowest common denominator: Everyone is poor.

The money gets distributed somewhat equally? I beg to differ...

I live in DC and if there's one thing government spending does, it increases the number of Lamborghinis on the road. A lot of the new money around here comes directly from government defense spending going to consulting firms which has a strong tendency to make the rich even richer.

how are you interacting with the blockchain?

konkourse.com is a side project of mine. My goal in creating this application is to provide a simple way for people to create public or private discussion groups that are easy to find (tagable), where users can choose to contribute under their identities or anonymously.

I've also provided a simple tool to combat trolling: the group owner can identify anonymous comments and block users from posting anonymously in the future.

I would appreciate any feedback on the overall site design, experience using the application, and general thoughts on it's usefulness.

This is awesome. In my mind the ability to send money or pay for things without worrying about what currency you're using was the main thing holding bitcoin back. now people can reap the benefits of the bitcoin network without having to deal with bitcoin. I know there are those that will hark on how "centralized" Coinbase is. I mean I agree it's not ideal but this has mass consumer appeal.

that is exactly what i was thinking

i got the link in google via chrome, so maybe one of the url querystring params identifies the browser type and when it's not the same it reverts to paywall.

no paywall https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=newss...

sounds interesting, but will probably be fundamentally closed, so i'm curious to see how the concept of "consensus" plays a role.

hopefully not the same pig with new lipstick

Whatever you decide to do, you really should report the violation of the law in some way to one of your superiors, and do it in a documented, traceable fashion (email).

when you run out of money.

ACH bank transfers in the united states take on average 2-3 days to clear. Instant may mean the funds are available at your bank, but the clearing process may not be complete.

wtf

yeah...heroku is weird about naked domains. you need to use a DNS provider like DNSimple to set up your domain correctly with Heroku. Then your users will be able to drop the "www". This worked for my side project, konkourse.com.

This gem & module look really well thought out and well designed. Security is impressive and well designed given the tradeoffs that are associated with it (ease of use versus time to implement). I look forward to integrating this into my app.
