Neat. Would be interesting to see a more detailed syllabus of what is covered when. Also is the 25% rake net or gross? It is two years full time (well 1.5 if you consider internship) so I don't think it is really fair to compare it to

My guess is price discrimination. They are feeling the heat from Xiaomi et al. Price the S6 more reasonably and place the S6 Edge to capture the higher end market where their premium brand is more valuable.

Javascript is ~2x more popular at the start but is ~8x more popular now. The absolute decline looks similar but given javascript's higher starting value the relative decline is much less.

What happens if it does not get confirmed. Do you debit the account by an equivalent amount or eat it?

If you are in Canada that isn't really true. It is extremely easy to open a USD denominated bank account and credit card. Couple banks have Euro accounts as well.

Unless you're buying large amounts you're probably going to pay 2+% just to get the bitcoins.

Its worth noting that with lead acid most people target a ~50% depth of discharge as batteries start getting damaged when they are cycled deep. (Yes even deep cycle batteries.) Now that also provides some additional redundancy so it's

~30kwh is the national average for daily use. 120 is crazy high unless your blasting an AC or heat all day. At 12 cents a kilowatt hour that's a $438 monthly bill. Even 30 is pretty damn high. For someone living off grid with a purpose

Have ear buds from Xiaomi and been very impressed with quality for price. I'm somewhat sceptical they are going to put a $400 dollar cpu and 16gb of ram into a laptop that costs under $500 dollars though. Maybe they are getting a good

There is a FAQ if you go through to the 5th wave link that covers it: https://www.kernel.com/movies/the-5th-wave Looks like its being built as a platform to upsell/preorder for movies.

You would think if you're using the live secret code server side it would reject charge tokens coming from the public test code. edit: To be clear I haven't tested this and don't have time today with xmas and such.

You may want to consider condensing/minifiying your JS/CSS and using a CDN for images. After 10 minutes the website still isn't loaded and there are a huge number of blocking image transfers that are going very very slowly. 1

I'm surprised one of the smaller ride share companies hasn't pivoted into licensing/partnering with municipal governments. Share revenue and let them control the processes for accepting drivers and regulating them. Tada you&#

Knight Landing, the second version, is supposed to be coming out in early 2015. If you want to get one be warned you might need a special motherboard as well if you were thinking of tossing it in a consumer box. http://www.pugets

Does it though? There is very little lockin with Uber at the consumer level, so goodwill is incredibly important for the company. At some point if they keep this shit up they are going to come up snake eyes and something will go viral. Beyo

In both cases the money transferred to shareholders is the same. There is only a distinction when management has options. Think of it this way. Consider a company has NPV of 10 dollars with 10 outstanding shares priced at $1 and 5 dollars i

Its not very well worded but he isn't wrong per say. Dividends theoretically should cause a fall in share prices the day after. Most aren't nearly large enough to be noticeable but for example in 2004 Microsoft issued a $3 dollar

Does anyone have any reasonable explanation for the concentration of strikes in North Dakota/Montana? I'm not American but I'm under the impression that both states are pretty much a whole lot of nothing, moreso back then. On
