> (It is, however, extremely important to me that I make clear that I had no idea there was a law like this for a reward when I resigned from UBS in October 2005, as the law passed in December 2006.)

That is a really impressive piece of software. USB exfiltration of data on air gapped machines is next level. I'm in awe of their skill.

It was by no means a dig at you!

I'll check the others out for sure, thanks for sharing.

Is this not just a humblebrag? I really fail to see the point of this. It is really cool to read about people who find inventive ways to overcome economic obstacles. It's somewhat boring to read that someone got a high paying job, and married someone with a high paying job, and then things worked out.

No need to start a new one here, just download Dwarf Fortress.

You're not going to get a much better reply than this. Speak their language, they will listen. Especially if you have access to historical data, it can be pretty easy to cherry pick some examples of where the improved QA would have had drastic savings.

People fear change, but no one wants to throw away money. Make them see the dollar signs.

I can't say I know its exact manufacturing origins, but I can say without a doubt my TV is a Vizio.

I'm not sure exactly what you're implying. Are you suggesting Espinoza was laundering? Or currency exchange is money laundering?

That his buddy had to cop to a plea deal with overzealous prosecutors is unfortunate, but in no way changes Espinoza's case.

The entire point of money laundering is to convert ill-gotten money into seemingly legitimate assets. It's not like they offered Espinoza dirty cash that he would buy for cents on the dollar with clean cash. He didn't channel their cash through legitimate business channels to obfuscate its history. He engaged in nothing resembling money laundering. This was a man who sold a commodity. Replace Bitcoin with literally anything else. If Espinoza sold them $30,000 of frozen orange juice concentrate, who cares if they're going to trade that for stolen Russian credit cards? In no way is he facilitating money laundering in either scenario.

>People need to know why they can't trust you.

Why can't people trust him? Seems like a good guy to me.

What about when x is 15?

This instantly reminded me of an article I read about medication side effect disclaimers actually increasing the odds of people trying the product. Both are pretty interesting effects.

Was anyone else floored by this? Even in the extremely unlikely scenario of Doig actually painting a piece he would disavow, how is the greater good served by going forward with the case? The can of worms the precedent would set are shocking. I would have a genuinely hard time proving my whereabouts 4 years ago, let alone 4 decades. This just seems like such an unreasonable expectation.

Anyone have insight as to why Snapchat is blocked in China but Snow isn't? Is Snow just currently under the radar and will likely suffer the same fate?

From the "technical implementation" article they link to

>When you do a search on DuckDuckGo, depending on the particular search, we will make a call to Yahoo for links, ads and other content.

I was looking into those who signed (currently at 110 by the way) and I was a bit interested in the age range. Even though the years that individuals were granted the prize ranged to as far back as 1962 (James Watson was around 32 at the time), I didn't find anyone who's currently under 60 who signed. My search was far from exhaustive, so I'd be interested if anyone found a young laureate on this list.

Solely because of the time value of money. It might seem great to have profit now, but you really want to maximize your net present value[0]. Focusing on growth early is often the way to do it.

Having a large portion of your staff barista-trained also allows for some pretty big pivots. These guys have their eyes on the longterm.

Not currently no. In an unrelated note, I have an idea that just might disrupt the automotive rental industry...

As a part time MC, I can attest that inverting and recombining channels of a song can occasionally lead to a decent instrumental. That being said, with little talent or background, and using freeware, it will not be perfect. It will be much better than using the original track, but it will certainly be noticeable that you are not using the instrumental. Great for practice though.

Semi-related, I read an interesting piece about the possible last survivor of the 7th Cavalry.

All time highs are kind of a sign of a bubble, and say nothing about the liquidity of any investments or the time value of the return you can expect from them.

Which would almost certainly imply there exist programs that have never leaked...

A doctor failed to tell a CHILD about an appropriate level of activity for his condition, and you honestly have the gall to put quotes around that error?

To be fair, I have a huge amount of what everyone perceives as crazy ideas that no one will ever be able to produce a shred of evidence to refute. That qualification does very little to forward your argument.

See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, you don't read articles you comment on.

>Vaudreuil starting taking undergraduate classes tuition free at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Infinitely cheaper than your $1.50 suggestion.

Just a small nitpick, all slaves make $0 per diem. It's sort of the main benefit of slavery.

Big second for Quake's Fast InvSqrt, that is a really cool story.

oblig pointing out of incorrect oblig correction. network effect[0] is absolutely correct.
