I would say it is not so much shortcuts as the fact that the 32-bit SoCs are generally designed for mobile. The only way to get a cheap devboard is to use an SoC which is being produced in high volume, so it doesn't have a prohibitive cost. That means you get the peripherals that a mobile phone or tablet wants, and not the ones that it doesn't, typically. If you insist on using an SoC custom designed for a devboard then the board is probably going to be tens of thousands of dollars.

64-bit is better because there are SoCs directly targeting server usecases which therefore have the kind of peripherals you'd prefer to see in devboards.
I think, but I'm not sure, that you're overstating the complication. Looking at your four steps:
1. Everyone should have two credit cards. You don't want a single point of failure (mistaken fraud freeze, for example.)
2. You only check every day, not every transaction.
3. Again, I argue you should have two (Visa + Mastercard)
4. Again. You're just trying to make things sound hard by repeating the same thing.

So. Have two cards. Make sure they autopay themselves. The only new work is checking the exchange rates once a day.
Then stop blaming the tool for bad craftsmanship. Maybe if we lay the blame where it belongs then something constructive might appear.

[Valve stats show] an accumulated 0.89% market share for all the linux distros combined.

that's a self-fulfilling prophecy. i begrudgingly bought a windows license for the family gaming box only because we couldn't play some games we wanted otherwise.

The lack of common API that _all_ of the linux distros [...]

every single AAA game i've installed from Steam has its own copy DirectX and base libraries (Redistributable Runtime), which leads me to believe there is a lack of common API that a few recent versions of Windows would support equally, yet they ship. this approach, btw, is exactly what most proprietary software for UNIX or UNIX-like systems i've seen has done: static linking or bundling your own copies. is there something i'm missing that precludes applying this to games for GNU/Linux?

I think what bothers me most about your post is that you're right on the verge of pretending that regulating markets causes all of the things we don't like about markets. No. Markets do plenty of things we don't like. And yes, the way we chose to regulate them causes markets to do some other things we don't like, too. That's not a case for not regulating them, though.

This is the point - smallpox functions well on its own, it just happens that humans prefer bodies that are "living." Hence, doctors try to limit the spread of the disease to meet their health preferences. Whether this is ultimately beneficial is an ongoing debate.

I would point out that in many cases enforcing artificial health on people can have negative outcomes. Recently, the Ebola virus in Africa killed several thousands. If the sick had been allowed to immediately die without care, the disease would not have spread so far. It could be said that attempts to regulate "living" into people merely leads to a masking of human frailty, which can be very dangerous.

Maybe a slightly less offensive comparison on my part would have been wildfires. They do just fine without human intervention. And yes, maybe humans do intervene too much. But gee, we like our houses to not be on fire. That doesn't mean we let the fire just burn, though.

Periodic corrections/recessions are a necessary and healthy part of capitalism. Unfortunately, stock markets (and other asset classes) have been vigorously propped up by central banks in recent years (especially so after 2008).

Market corrections (and recessions) separate the good from the bad. Right now, there are many banks/companies which should not be in business at all. And they lock up resources which could be used elsewhere, and more efficiently.

Except that this crash saw ETFs - which are basically just a way of holding a basket of different investments - plummet spectacularly even though the underlying assets they were created to hold barely moved. The underlying thing was stable, the problem was the market on top of it.
Not at all - the only way to get to the top of the social ladder is during times of great stress on the system. As a person with no family I can only win. There are no downsides for me.

I'm curious how you reached this conclusion after (presumably) reading OP's article about the rather tenuous stability of our decidedly not-laissez-faire stock market.
>My favourite part was most people there were "normal" people and absolutely loved it.

Why wouldn't they? In your tweet you praise the project as "inclusive" but that is exactly how I would condemn it. Banksy seem to me to be an artist who through iteration has arrived at a near-perfect way of packaging 1960s-inspired rebellion for the summer blockbuster audience. The average summer blockbuster makes you feel exhilarated while you watch it but doesn't have a serious takeaway. For Banksy "exhilarated" is replaced with "clever" and "righteous" but the end result is the equally empty.

There is a wide gap between the poles that are poseur-inviting nihilism of Hurst and Banksy's Upworthy-like quality. I think good art should not stand too close to either of them.
I'm not sure it is being defined that way.

If anything, I'm reading the opposite of that - that it's entirely possible to work "hard" without working for extremely long hours.

> Reading Lenin's letters in the Lenin museum in Tampere was very eye opening and educational.

Since when is Lenin an authority on communism? He was a thug, same as Stalin.

> cottage industries (local farmers and makers etc) existing and operating in a free market.

To his credit, they did do some very interesting things in the 20s. Then Stalin came to power and that ended.

> Again social ownership of the means of production does not necessarily mean state ownership.

Yes, it does.

The USSR was NEVER communist. United Soviet SOCIALIST Republics.

It was a truly socialist state. All the means of production were state controlled, but private property did exist.

The GOAL was to eventually reach communism.

> Today Europe is largely a social democracy which aims to walk the line between socialism and capitalism.

Ok, but the line between socialism and capitalism isn't socialism. As previously mentioned, a welfare state seems a more apt description.

> Socialism has had a major impact on European politics.

Agreed.

> there is not such a fervent religious belief in unbridled capitalism as one would find in the States

There is no "fervent religious belief in unbridled capitalism" in the US. Zero.

Capitalism is a mixture of free market and government subsidy. The government doesn't manufacture anything, but does get heavily involved in the markets through subsidies, regulations, financial instruments, outright purchases of goods, etc. Generally a 70/30 split is considered the norm, where 30% of all market activity is government controlled.

Nobody is excited over this.

There is a "fervent" belief in the free market and the idea that capitalism isn't ideal and that we should tweak that split and reduce government involvement. That we should move toward a free market. That gets people excited.

Actually, Austin has the per-bag fee as well. Source: I'm in Austin. I don't remember if it's $.25 or $.99, but I can honestly say that I tend not to notice it when I forget my bags... adding a few cents to a grocery bill of $30 or more is barely noticeable.

My family uses reusable bags now, and I'm happy for the ban because we probably wouldn't have otherwise, but studies like this one do seem to indicate it wasn't everything it was sold to be.

That said, I rarely ever see a plastic bag stuck in a tree these days, and that's a welcome change.
I don't disagree. To clarify though, it's often LP's all the way down to the turtles...that is it is not uncommon that the limited partners in a limited partnership are limited partnerships because limited partnerships are a way of organizing capital that scales from a few hundred grand for 20 residential lots to a billion or so for a VC fund.

From the individual partners point of view, their investment fuss are committed upfront with the expectation that that commitment is adequate for the entire project. Should the funds prove inadequate the investor may not loose their shirt but will consider themselves lucky to escape with shortened sleeves.
Your assertion contradicts this one made by anonymousDan above[0]:

What an interesting character. You can see his vision for the web at http://www.xanadu.com/, it is quite unique. Seems to focus almost entirely on concepts of ownership, attribution, quotation, and composition.

Given how much the modern web has developed, without significant infrastructure arising to support any of these, I wonder what that says about their utility in our current society, compared to those features which have arisen in the modern web (hyperlinking, anonymity, ephemerality, independence, content-addressability).

Whereas, new on this block, I'd submitted Fifteen for fifteen before reading our guidelines, sorry in advance. It is a PDF and obviously begins with a number. Then a dual foo-pah, I resubmitted a few moments later (having found the guidelines) with the PDF's sub-title.

Perhaps another infraction? Certainly, that was not intended, IF it is. I'm a work in progress.

Anyway...this PDF was most enlightening to me. I hope you find it compelling, as well.

Well, I was actually trying to say the decoders work independently and produce disjoint subsets of the instruction stream. How the calculations actually get done is harder, but should be largely independent of how the instructions are encoded.

One great thing about the Mill is that instructions within a bundle are mostly disjoint. The Mill has no data hazards and each instruction takes from the belt, which is not changed until the bundle is finished. There are "gangs" that allow combining multiple instructions, but I don't know how they are handled.

In general, this means a Mill has more instruction interdependence than an x86. Although an x86 could have a split-stream instruction cache, data dependence prevents a traditional architecture from parallelizing itself as much as the Mill and hazards prevent the kind of speculation the Mill can do. Since instruction decode isn't a big bottleneck on fixed-width architechtures, there's no real pressure to innovate there.
Plenty of other places have bag bans, if they have not had similar problems, this suggests that differences between Austin and the other places, in terms of the details of the band or relevant context, should be examined to understand why Austin's ban had the undesired results.

But, a single failure in one of many implementations of the idea is not a reason to abandon the idea.

I mean, given that I live here, I get to, and have to interact with this people, that I walk among real islamic fundamentalists, real PKK terrorists, real corrupt politicians and their actual supporters? I agree that it's not reasonable to make blanket statements, but I do indeed show the people I make statements about. All I do is to reflect upon the society that I belong to, that I live within and that affects me in the most direct manner.
This sounds more or less like the process I've gone through. I have yet to explore the option of manufacturing in China....have you done this? Is the process more or less the same?
Man, I have so much to say about this but it's not the right time and the right place.

One quick reflection: unless it's a very very short project (say less than 2 weeks) no one knows the exact content of the project - not you and not the client. It ALWAYS changes. Take that into account when determining price, and/or when a change comes in, know how to flag it to your customer right away and charge for it. Otherwise you end up doing tons of very small changes (each one seems like would be unfair to charge the customer extra for) that accumulate and you end up paying a lot more to your employees and lose money.

That's an interesting angle that I hadn't considered -- I get that it's unreasonable to ask banks to be a public trust AND a public corporation at the same time, but maybe separating the "for-profit business" side of things from the "financial services necessary to just be alive" side would be more productive for everyone. Just never occurred to me, for whatever reason.

Thinking more about it, this seems like a similar problem to one some states are running into with privatized prisons and "public" schools -- corporations are put in charge of public services and are doing a horrifying job in some cases, because their business is oriented toward profit, not "the public good." I'm not saying the companies are acting unreasonably, but maybe some things should just be set aside for something other than profit... firefighters come to mind.
Technically, the Github servers are being attacked.

The "website" (or "app") is the abstract thing that runs on those servers.
The servers are trying to service a flood of incoming tcp connections and http requests from rogue clients, which slows them down.

So "are" is not entirely out of place, but of course we all got the message ;).
I think having to run a VM you don't often use is kind of defeating the purpose of the app.

If you're willing to run a VM for a single app you are probably the type of person who is willing to spend the time to set up a Haskell tool chain and libraries for free.

Although I am most definitely not that type of person, all I care about is playing with the language. Anything detrimental to that is just noise and not worth the time. So I consider the $25 quite a cheap price to not have to think about the extraneous actions required to get a Haskell environment up and running.

Epigenetics isn't a magic wand; unless you really think people have "math receptors" in their body that will tune their epigenetics to be even worse at math in the future if they're frustrated today, and then pass it on to their children, it's a silly theory.

Moreover, most people have it exactly backwards... to the extent passing epigenetics to your children makes sense at all from an evolutionary perspective, it is passing adaptations, not weaknesses. If a parent has a hard time finding food, the stress of being hungry passes on to a child to make them smaller, i.e., less needing of food because they're not going to try to grow as much. Epigenetics is not "If you break a leg, your child will be born with a broken leg". That's just Lamarkianism, and Lamarkianism is still false.
