The cost of living in San Francisco is 68% more than Kansas City (source: http://www.bankrate.com/calcul...). According to Brooking's Institute report the average salary for a tech job is 96% more (source: http://www.brookings.edu/resea...). So it all depends where you fall in that spectrum. I wouldn't be surprised if some one-percenters are skewing the San Francisco average. Last time I compared salaries, it was less than a 50% increase for me to work at Apple, but I didn't compare any other companies.
If you are interested in what vote share can tell us -- and we’ll focus on this for the rest of this article -- we can just add up the total number of votes cast for all Democratic candidates and Republican candidates in the 2010, 2012 and 2014 elections, using Dave Leip’s election atlas as a source. It works out to 103 million votes for Democrats to 98 million votes for Republicans: a difference of 5 million votes, or 2.5 points. This is still a meaningful difference between the share of votes cast for Democrats and the share of seats that they won, but it isn’t the outrageous result that Vox headlined.
Your number is way off. In the House the GOP got 4.4 million more votes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections,_2014)
Haven't found the senate numbers yet.
American's voted the Republicans into the majority. If the Democrats were in majority, he would not be leading the subcommittee. So in a sense, you did vote for this, you might have just been outvoted.
If you are going to the effort of putting them in a bank anyway, why not just convert them to real money and earn interest in the bank on a term deposit, then you get the benefit of it being in a bank AND having banking regulation and government backed insurance if the bank is robbed, goes bankrupt etc etc.
It's hard to buy or sell bitcoin with fiat currencies (e.g. US Dollar). Online exchanges facilitate that. Why people keep it in online wallets for an extended period of time? Maybe they trust professionals to lock down their business better than they can lock down their own PC. Plus you have to work about disk corruption etc.
I'm a developer and primarily develop in Java. However, I do program in Python from time to time. Without getting into a Holy War about scripting versus strongly typed languages, I will say that I would take less money to program in Java. I just enjoy it more. It probably has more to do with familiarity than Java being "better", but the syntax, third party tools, third party libraries, IDEs, etc. all contribute to the satisfaction of programming in that language.
Depending on what you're doing, you should consider writing your own framework. I love using the one I wrote from scratch 10+ years ago: it's proven, high quality code, there are no secret corners I don't understand, and I know how to fix or modify it to do new things. It's also small and fast because it only needs to solve the problems *I* encounter.
To anyone who starts preaching the religion of code reuse, I think you're just scared of the unknown... or not a very good programmer. The sorts of things most people need a "framework" for are so simple that any experienced programmer should be able to do it.
This is a challenging option in a corporate environment when you need to hire someone to support said framework after you have left the company unexpectedly.
They are not tiles anymore. They are colored runes. Five colors to be specific. Some runes work well together. Other runes are enemy colors and can't be played together.

I'm pretty sure people start work around 8 or 9 no matter what time zone you are in...
I thought April Fool's was April 1st, not October 1st.
duh. better security == better security.

Agreed. I was jumping on y turkeyfish's comment without thinking it through. Districting is irrelevant to the senate races.
From the article (emphasis mine):

That number is very misleading: http://www.realclearpolitics.c...
I guess the Senate race did have completely different numbers. Interesting: http://www.washingtonpost.com/...
Your number is way off. In the House the GOP got 4.4 million more votes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections,_2014) Haven't found the senate numbers yet.
That's why we need to agree on an open algorithm to do districting.
American's voted the Republicans into the majority. If the Democrats were in majority, he would not be leading the subcommittee. So in a sense, you did vote for this, you might have just been outvoted.
If you are going to the effort of putting them in a bank anyway, why not just convert them to real money and earn interest in the bank on a term deposit, then you get the benefit of it being in a bank AND having banking regulation and government backed insurance if the bank is robbed, goes bankrupt etc etc.
Because that interest will not cover inflation.

Much better article. Thank you. Is there any general direction we should look, or just UP?

For a second I thought Slashdot was starting to get into sports reporting.
What would your cost basis be for miners? Could you count the cost of electricity and equipment or would it be considered zero?
...as it zips by us at nearly 385 cheetahs.

I feel like we are in the process of defining a superhero.

The title must be a joke. I can't even read 464 pages in 24 hours let alone be able to run the exercises necessary to actually learn it.
