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 a 3 month program.

At my local university doing 3x semesters of just CS classes leaves you 1 course short of the required CS courses for a degree. Mind you I'm not including the math requirements. But on the other hand this is probably more intensive and with a better student/teacher ratio arguably you will be learning stuff quicker. Not to say they are equivalent... but I'm not sure its fair to write it off as being "code monkey" school.

Not a fan of the location choice though. I get that SF has a lot of really good networking opportunities but for a two year program it is crazy expensive. The difference in rent compared to where I live makes this more expensive than attending university. If I was to get an apartment with equivalent square footage to what I have now the cost of this would actually be pretty close to doing a 4 year degree. That's before factoring in the 25% rake. Mind you I'm in a relatively inexpensive Canadian city.

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 not like the other 50% is entirely useless.

~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 built/renovated structure ~5kwh a day gives you quite a lot to work with.

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 price on the haswells now that broadwell production is ramping up.

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.
