I interrupt the regularly scheduled nay-saying and fun-poking for a question.
Are there any real, legitimate crypto-coins that got started by an initial offering?
I'm not Bitcoin expert, but my impression was you can only get coins from "Bitcoin" through mining. Private parties will sell bitcoin or exchange them for goods and services, but if you want coin directly from "Bitcoin" or where ever coins originate, to be the first owner of a bitcoin, you must mine it. You cannot buy it.
I find this numbering by chapter equally vexing, but I believe it is done so a single section can be developed apart from the rest of the content or revised without renumbering the whole.
I certainly would never work for a firm that disclosed my pay
Are you sure about that?
One of the services Experian, et al provide, in additional to consumer credit reports, is salary reports for employers. Companies can buy reports of what different positions are being paid in different industries.
And where do you think these agencies get the data for these reports? The data comes from employers.
So perhaps there isn't a generally available web site that lists "dcw3 is paid $X yearly," but there is a pretty good chance your employer has disclosed your pay privately as part of a deal to find out what other employers are paying your peers.
That's why I think workers should talk about salaries and should get into specifics.
1. Why should you be at a disadvantage in negotiating pay? Your employer knows what its peers are paying, why shouldn't you know what your peers are getting?
2. If this was such sensitive information and "trade secret" and such, why are employers sharing it among themselves?
WTF is Qgis? GRASS? GDAL? Let's assume the OP has no idea what you are talking about, because they don't.
Let's give the benefit of the doubt that Qgis is the obvious and perfect answer to this question. That the question was asked means it is reasonable to think the OP hasn't heard of the wonder that is Qgis. So a little more detail might be called for.
The accuracy of Wikipedia isn't relevant to the question of citations. Papers should strive to cite primary sources. One might use Wikipedia to research their sources and then to the primary sources used by the secondary sources cited by Wikipedia.
But one wouldn't cite Wikipedia directly, anymore than one would cite an olde tyme printed encyclopedia. This was something I was taught not to do starting around the age of 10. Go to the general reference to get started, sure. But don't rely on the reference's summation of the source.
If they want to teach computer science (and not software development or programming) a text on abstract algebra or discrete mathematics is likely going to help more than anything with "computer" in the title.
"The metric is called equilibrium climate sensitivity, but don't let the name scare you."
Why would say that, unless something scary is going on? What if the name of the site was "Slashdot, news for nerds, but don't let that scare you"? What if you went to a restaurant, and after running down the specials, the waiter said, "but don't let the name scare you"? Is there any chance you'd order that dish?
The show is praised by many people. Perhaps you should give it another watch.
I enjoyed the first season, and think the show deserved all the praise it received at the time. But then every season after that was downhill. The final season sits on my DVR unwatched.
For the details the show got right, it just wasn't entertaining. I'm reminded of a Shirley Jackson quote: "[an] accurate account of an incident is not [a] story."
If the president wants NASA to send men to the moon, stop signing directives and sign a check instead.
Also, veto the tax plan (if it ever reaches your desk) which would increase the cost of graduate studies that produce that sorts of scientists and engineers who put people on the moon.
What research did you do into Confido before you "invested"? The main people involved, what successful businesses have they run in the past? What in their background led you to believe they would provide a return in this case?
And ICOs in general, I've heard plenty about how much the folks running these ICOs are pulling in. What's the history on the people on the other end? What sort of return have "investors" had in the past?

Phones with 3 cameras. Razors with 5 blades. Monkeys with 6 asses.
No room for an sd slot, removable battery, or headphone jack. But 3 cameras, sure.
I thought I was sharing everything privately
That's the exact opposite of "sharing."
I have several apps on my Android phone that I first installed for free and then upgraded to the paid version.
It boggles my mind that Apple wouldn't have this.

In a review of 1,450 digital coin offerings, the Journal said it found 271 bore red flags such as plagiarized documents or fake executive information.
The article continues...
"The Journal found the other 1179 offerings bore red flags such as THEY WERE DIGITAL COIN OFFERINGS."
Seriously, if you ever thought the story of Jack and his magic beans was fiction, just look at these digital magic beans.
Oh wait, you're serious. Let me laugh even harder.
I'm all for security updates, but I haven't recovered from the last time I was hit with "new features."
They sell copies of that work.
Wrong. Try again.
The license use of that work. They don't sell copies of that work.
The area where I most often see this chapter-page style numbering is in owners' manuals, such as those that come with a car.
Makes me think, if their engineers haven't figured out automatic page numbering, what else in this vehicle is substandard? ;)
I find this numbering by chapter equally vexing, but I believe it is done so a single section can be developed apart from the rest of the content or revised without renumbering the whole.
The Manual does warn, however, that folios should “should never be distractingly large.”
The same could be said of images, that they "should never be distractingly animated."
Dead trees or electronic?
You're asking strangers if you are more comfortable reading a screen or paper.
Casper the friendly Ghost might be a good place for you to start.

You don't have to watch every (or any) recommended videos on YouTube.
Why not use Qgis ?
it is under the gpl license and FREE
uses GRASS and GDAL for the backend of the qt GUI
WTF is Qgis? GRASS? GDAL? Let's assume the OP has no idea what you are talking about, because they don't.

"It is important to understand that the FCC's proposed order is based on a flawed and factually inaccurate understanding of Internet technology."
It's not they don't understand. It's that they don't care. Or put another way, it's not a bug, it's a feature.
The powers-that-be behind the repeal of Net Neutrality know what the effects will be. They're counting on them.
There was a time when a President of the USA accepting money from foreign governments was serious enough that he'd at least try to hide it.
No, he doesn't. And no, it won't.
If the answer is competition, then why support the change that is guaranteed to reduce competition?
