It's not re-defining what a free market is, that's always been the case.

I guess the point I haven't got across is that even if the government interferes covertly with one specific product or market, it has little effect on the overall market. Just think of the number of SKUs in an average Walmart and you'll get an idea of what I mean.
Even as a PhD, I do not want to be called doctor, nor do I call attention to it unless it is somehow relevant (which is almost never!). As you said, anyone can get a PhD if they just put in the blood and sweat, we should be judged by our accomplishments, not titles.

Someone pulled me up on this here in China the other day. Knowing no better I accepted correction. I wish I'd had this article then, which essentially confirms espresso is exclusively a modern Italian form and nothing more.

I've asked on StackOverflow, got shut down violenty, so I try to ask here: how do developers in large(-ish) projects deal with the lack of tool assisted refactoring? (Renaming a field in Java, I am 100% sure that every call site is found, changed or otherwise the codebase does not compile. The catch-all clause of dynamically typed language users seems to be that the test suite should catch everything, but looking at most projects, it's outstanding to even see 40% test coverage.)
Those are some wonderfully imaginative insults. I did like that near the end, after endless filth, they've put "Why are you boring me with this useless narrative?"
Stallman deserves a real doctorate no doubt about that. He shouldn't be seen as the same as someone who happened to donate enough or be famous enough, he's done so much more. He shouldn't pretend he has an honour he hasn't earned either, that's just sad.
Sad part is she discussed it on the phone with her lawyer.

No.. the lawyer was an "independent adviser" to her. He worked on every single one of Access 52's deals. Basically, he would call them up, ask if they understood the deal. That's it.

And that really underscores how mentally incompetent she was. Some random lawyer calls her up out of the blue, and she takes his advice.

More details about 2/3rds into the article (search for the guys name "Charles E. Smith" and you'll find the section about the lawyers involved.)
And this is why juries don't work.

It is probably banging my head against a brick wall, but seriously whole generations had lead based paint and lead products. Rich and poor.

It's even in the water supply - http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_exa...

But these people with lawsuits had these enormous effects only thanks to lead, right.

Even the whole lead in petrol thing is up in the air, we are not sure if it has made a difference.

These issues are around poverty, not magical beans like evil 'lead'.
Yes, it's a very bad deal. She's 20 years old, figuring the chances of death and the valuation, she's lost the vast majority of the actual value, and the guys who bought the settlement from her can make upwards of $1m of profit over the next 35 years, above and beyond what they paid for it.

It's not 'value'. If you have $3k annual income for the next 50 years and I offer you $100k for it, it's not value, it's total bs. It becomes value ones the valuations are close. Plenty of investors will give you value, and if put on an open market, you'd get that value. But this happened due to predatory business, calling people who are mentally challenged and offering an awful rate. I'd have given her double and I'd still make a profit of more than half a million dollars, investors would line up to give her even more than that.

If she'd been given a market rate, then yes it'd be good value to an ordinary person who has this preference. Although the whole point is that she wasn't because she's a vulnerable person with no financial sense who's better off receiving $1k for the next 35 years, than receiving pennies on the dollar in a lumpsum $60k which lasts her for 5 years if she'd be frugal, and likely won't last because shitty friends/family will exploit a mentally damaged person who's known to have just received $60k.

Even for an ordinary person, this just makes no sense. After all, you can apply this type of discounting to any payment stream. Take your salary for example.

I mean let's scale the numbers to a salary that makes sense to some of you. The average payment the woman in the article was getting in those 35 years is about $1.4k or say $17k per year, and she's forgoing them for $63k.

Now let's quadruple those numbers to get to a salary some of you might get, about $70k per year, forgone for a one-time $250k. Imagine that $70k is your salary.

Now who here is willing to sell/forgo their GUARANTEED, 0 hours of work, $70k annual salary for the next 35 years, for $250k? Absolutely nobody, not a single soul.

There's no way you can call that 'value', until someone offers you a few million dollars at least. And if you had such a salary, guaranteed, without any hours of work, because someone poisoned you with lead and you're brain damaged... it's NOT okay for someone to convince you to forgo it for $250k over steak. That's predatory, unethical, harmful business. Especially when that person is DEPENDENT on that money. Yeah stealing $50 billion from Buffet is one thing, or even $1m from you or me. We can actually work and still live and thrive and enjoy life even if all our wealth is stolen. But she's brain damaged, can't work and can't live alone. She's the type of person that without $1k a month will end up homeless or on welfare or a combination of both, 20 years down the line.
The weight of a car is not optional. If I want to move some mass between point a and point b, and I do it by car, I have no choice but to haul along that extra ~10x my weight. Measuring by kcal/mass ignores this practical reality in favour of a more precise definition of "efficiency".

Also if you're riding a bike that weights 1.2x your body weight, you have the wrong bike! Good god!

> I think the mean these people don't understand they are giving up +70% of the present value of the settlement. They probably don't understand what present value means, and figuring out 70% of a large number might not be something they could do even with a calculator.

Cripes, they probably don't even know what the word "percent" means.

These people need far greater protection from the law than they're receiving.
Sanders and Trump are both demonstrating what you can accomplish when voters decide they've had enough of the status quo.

Yes. That's the way society works; in a civilised country, that decision is made through the courts, based on laws created by a democratic Government[1].

No, it's better known as Not-Anarchism. Please stop conflating anarchism with Libertarianism.

[1] Not necessarily an elected one. There's more than one way to achieve democracy; selecting the Government by random ballot from the citizenry, a.k.a. sortition, is one alternative to voting. It also happens to be my preferred one.

There is currently no good browser for apple. Safari (8.0.8) struggles with HTML5. Firefox (40.0.2) struggles with video/media of any sort and bogs down with multiple tabs. Chrome (44.0.2403.157 (64-bit)) drains your battery. I'm on a MacBook Pro (10.10.5, 13-inch, Early 2015). They are all uniformly disappointing.
That's an extreme of oversimplification and doesn't make your xenophobic statement reasonable.

HN has users all over the world, including many from Russia, who deserve as much as anybody not to have their country insulted. It's hard to keep HN civil as it is. Chauvinism is literally the last thing we need, whether driven by shame or some other emotion.

I get that this is an intimate subject for you, not garden-variety prejudice. My criticism isn't personal, and I'm sure we could have an excellent conversation about it face-to-face. But such emotions channeled into political rhetoric release VOCs that HN is in no condition to process.
I've never really needed it in Clojure. The code is that much more expressive that overall LoC is dramatically reduced (thus more easily viewed "in the whole"), and following a proper functional approach means good functions should be largely interchangeable and not dependent on any global state. So on the rare occasion I need to move something around, it's just meant a quick copy and paste and tweaking a few references.

Yes, Clojure is dynamically typed, but I think you're missing the gains you get from FP and expressiveness in terms of reducing labor.
It's easy to learn C-x C-s to save, C-x C-c to quit, C-x C-f to open a file. That's how I got by with emacs for about 6 months, just because I liked the tab/indent behaviour so much.

Then after that it's easy to learn the C-x chords for splitting windows, and you're at about the level where I used emacs for about 5 years, with maybe some C-c C-c to compile things.

Honestly emacs is not that hard and you can be pretty productive with just the bare minimum. I still don't use the arcane commands to move the cursor around. I don't even know what they are. I use the arrow keys and pgup/pgdown.

"Overall the genuine & counterfeit Beats are nearly identical."
Of course, it's the same guy who previously invented languages :)

Seriously though, I'd like to offer a perspective that will hopefully demonstrate that OP's opinion is not devoid of merit.

I propose that in a perfect world, degrees would not be necessary. Also, grades would not be necessary for the same reason. Putting it in rather simplistic terms, both are something artificial that degrade the passion for knowledge by mixing it with the passion for prestige. They are a crude instrument serving as an external motivator that often comes at the expense of a natural and internal one which exists in everyone. An internal motivator is much better at rendering any difficulties along the path insignificant due to the joy of the pursuit.

Of course, I don't think that abolishing grades and degrees today would be wise. It would be a disaster, as irresponsible as taking taking away very good crutches from a handicapped person. I just hope that with time, the person can be taught to be more passionate about learning to walk than improving his crutches.

I assume this is not going to be a popular opinion because many people are too deeply invested in their academic achievements. Also, I might not be seeing the whole picture so I'm open to criticism.
I've been a Scala developer for the last 3 years and I'm in the camp that first played with Clojure and then switched to Scala. I'm still playing with Clojure from time to time, but I like Scala more.

The only difference one should care about is static typing versus dynamic typing and that's it. Of course it's not a binary black and white classification when looking at languages, for example Scala is less static than Haskell and Clojure is less dynamic than Ruby. But overall that's the biggest difference and that changes the style, the mentality you have, how the code looks like.

As an example you are much more likely to see in Scala the Maybe/Option monad, whereas in Clojure people prefer to work with null (nil). Rich Hickey said it himself that Option[T] only makes sense in a static language. In general in Scala you're more likely to see things like monads and functors being modeled explicitly. It's more natural to do that in Scala because it's all a matter of describing functions with certain signatures. And you know, when working with combinations of flatMap and map, it's much easier if you have the compiler telling you where you've fucked up. Which is why many people do use things like Scalaz or Cats or Shapeless. On the other hand in Clojure it's much easier to build things like transducers, because there's no type-system to stay in your way.

Clojure people work with lots of DSLs built over macros. You can see that in how Clojure exposes those channels in core.async and compare that to how asynchronous processing of events is done in Scala (e.g. Future, Iteratees, scalaz-stream, Rx, Akka actors, Reactive Streams, shameless plug: https://github.com/monifu/monifu). Of course, Scala has its own macros system, but like in other static languages, the macros in Scala are only being used by those that really know what they are doing. But because of that, in both languages you get features exposed as libraries instead of being special language features. For example here's Scala's equivalent for C#'s await/async exposed as a library: https://github.com/scala/async

Which one is better is actually dependent on the problems you're trying to solve. The problems I'm working on have a very complex business logic and are a better mix for static typing. This is why people will never agree on which one is better, because it actually depends on context.
You mean like, clicking on the File menu, and clicking on the Quit menu item?
How alien!
> It's obviously degrees are bullshit, one day I hope
> people learn that

Degrees have some value, otherwise people wouldn't have to learn that they didn't. Circular reasoning, innit?
No need, you can just value it. It's pretty basic discounted cash flow analysis you learn on your first day of college if you study finance or something like that. And if you apply it you can see you lose almost $1.4m by forgoing the settlement payments for $63k in a typical investment context.

Without an investment context (i.e. comparing investing $63k for 35 years, to investing the settlement payments for 35 years, which is the valuation for the company that ripped her off), the nominal amounts are such that she sold $573k of payments for $63k. And that $573k in today's dollars is worth about $340k. She didn't even get 20c on the dollar.

It'd literally be like you forgoing your $70k annual salary for the next 35 years, for a one-time payment of $250k. And I'm referring to a unique type of salary of $70k that is guaranteed and requires 0 hours of work. She sold it off for $250k because of a combination of a normal person's ignorance of finance and the fact she's mentally handicapped, too. It's an absolute disgrace and the fact her lawyer didn't have alarm bells going off is quite sad.

I'd have easily given her double and I'd still make hundreds of thousands of profit, without any real effort. Hell I could just resell the contract the next day to lines of investors willing to pay even more, including the company that ripped her off. That's how bad the deal was she got.
Honestly, rubbish - getting an illiterate, brain damaged person to sign a contract they never read and signed without advice on their side for 1/5 of the face value is not about time preference - it's fraud, or undue pressure or something illegal.

Jail time.

You have some good points but you are edging on to alien abduction conspiracy mode. Yes, few handful of private firms like Blackrock, PIMCO etc have huge control over stock market. They have trillions of dollars to play with (mostly funded by public through 401Ks). They can make or break market by inducing fear or happiness with a small chunk of selloff or buyoff anytime they wish. Yes, stock of the company has little correlation with actual returns (aka dividends) and it's all about speculating. Stock market is in essence legally sanctioned casino and unfortunately few of the only alternatives for investment for general public who can't start their own companies.

What's the solution? It's actually very simple. Heavily tax any short term gains. Something like 90% if you sell in 1st year, 45% if 2nd year and so on. Make dividend income completely tax free. This will force people to use stocks as actual investment and companies to actually share earnings with shareholder (who are by definition partial owner). This can put an end to lot of speculation because your gains would simply be taken away if you do so. It might even end boom bust cycles because there won't be massive sell offs to cash out or algorithm day trading. It will give security to companies so they don't have to live in constant fear of stock tanking next quarter just because it happened to be little bad.

> I can refactor a huge codebase in my IDE. Good luck trying that with Clojure.

Cursive Clojure, a plugin for IntelliJ has excellent refactoring support, especially considering how dynamic Clojure is. If you've come from a Java background, this gives you a lot of the refactoring and 'Where Used' functionality that you might be used to.
What you describe is actually a pretty good test if someone should be allowed to strike a deal - "can they describe it unassisted"?
> Firefox is still a slow, unstable and memory-guzzling behemoth, where all your extensions break on every update.

Using dozens of extensions, this has not been my experience or the experience of many others I know. I believe the problems with extensions breaking and memory consumption were solved years ago; AFAIK tests show Firefox' memory consumption is less than Chrome's (in part because of the single-process model) and performance, at least a little while ago, was slighlty better. I haven't experienced, seen, or read about instability.
