> Sincere question, but when did that happen? I suspect that you're conflating Gracie Jiu-Jitsu with MMA. The art of jiu-jitsu seems to me to be as passive as it ever has been. There've always been choke holds, and armbars, and while the techniques evolve over time, none of that has changed in BJJ.

Fair question, and I'll readily admit I have limited experience with BJJ. However, at my first judo dojo, we shared space with a BJJ club, and I watched them perform locks on joints that are verboten in judo as practiced today--the reason being safety. Funny enough, aikido even has joint locks (wrist) that aren't done in competition judo due to the potential for injury when applied during shiai. As Wikipedia describes it, however, the presence of some of these techniques is due to BJJ forking early from Kodokan judo. So, I have my chronology a bit wrong. BJJ didn't (in this traditional form) re-brutalize judo; it forked from an earlier more brutal form of judo, and judo evolved toward less injury.

In terms of small joint manipulation, I don't know about BJJ. However, I studied for a while in Danzan Ryu jujitsu in a blessedly not-testosterone-fueled environment. And that style very definitely had finger and toe locks. They were often combined with pins and were left in place as the final application of submission hold on someone you intended to extricate yourself from--mainly to make sure they weren't going to get up as you were trying to put distance between yourself. That escape aspect might have been my instructor's own flourish from aikido / Daito ryu training though.

The thing that really annoys me about a comment like this is that it completely ignores decades of research about why women choose what they choose. It also completely ignores decades of research about how anyone chooses anything.

It, like, lacks all hint of intellectual curiosity. It's like saying, "well, an electron behaves this way and a photon behaves that way because that's the way things are, and I'm done. Why is it behaving that way? I don't know and I don't care." And then I say, "but, you know, some smart people have actually studied this and have some interesting findings", and you say like, "meh, that's probably bad science because I've heard those stories about scientists fabricating data, so I'm not even going to look at this". Now, all of this would have been fine if people with no curiosity and no knowledge wouldn't have an opinion on the matter, but like I said, we have two sides where one has spent decades studying the subject in lots of disciplines, and the other is like "la la la, I don't want to hear, you're wrong".

The saddest part is that we even know why the other side behaves like this (it's the superposition of a bunch of well-known psychological phenomena), but are not allowed to say because that just makes them angrier.

Clearly, both outcomes are suboptimal and inefficient - for retail traders. Both are actually instances of phantom liquidity, where the tape doesn't match the actual price that is being executed.

One also has to keep in mind that retail traders are often matched with other retail traders in the same brokerage; their orders probably never make it as far as Getco, Citadel, etc

They didn't know of the effects the bomb would have on the hibakusha.

In a total war scenario, civilians who are engaged in support activities for the war effort are valid targets.

If the Germans or the Japanese could have, do you think they wouldn't have bombed American steel factories and weapons plants?

After what the Japanese military did to the people in Nanking, they have NO right to stand on moral high ground and complain about what happened to their civilians.

Americans didn't force children to watch their mothers being raped, the Japanese did that. Americans didn't give children candy laced with anthrax spores, the Japanese did that. Americans didn't force Japanese women to endure hundreds of rapes as "comfort women", the Japanese did that. Americans didn't force Japanese civilians or POWs to take part in lethal experiments, the Japanese did that.

Dropping those bombs was right. Dropping those bombs was just. Yes, those were the times and the existential threat of nuclear weapons was the only message that particular enemy was prepared to receive.
You say 'all of it is wrong - ALL of it'. It implies it's equally wrong. But then, conveniently, the Japanese attacked first. So defending is kinda right, but of course it's just as wrong as mass murder of civilian populations. So it's kind of like a wrong but right necessary evil.
Vote up.

It is critical to understand how the balance of payments works with regards to international trade to explain what is going on.

We can already see the impact China's slowdown has had in the price of raw materials. The massive drop in luxury goods consumption & Macau gambling revenue has been attributed by the press to Xi Jinping's corruption crackdown. I didn't buy that explanation. It is plausible that the economic engine which carried them for the past 20 years ran out of steam a while ago.

Contractions are good, for both public economies and private companies. They force the removal of waste and expose accounting frauds. The big question now is how much of China's economy is dependent on questionable things? Perhaps outright fraud, maybe business models that work only during sustained growth, or just stuff that requires the continued successful implementation of particular government policies (subsidizing interest rates, keeping exchange rates low.)
Just because there are spikes, doesn't mean that no sharing can occur; e.g. people commuting from east to west at 0800, while someone else might commute in the opposite direction at 0900.

Personal anecdote indicates that "work hard" and "do your best" have slight negative correlation to a positive observed outcome in some workplaces.

Minor titration efforts suggest that "appear to work at slightly above the observed median level of effort" and "if doing your best and following orders conflict, follow the orders" work better in practice. This strategy has yielded more positive performance reviews than opening up full throttle. It depends a lot on workplace culture.

Save your best efforts for personal projects, or for a company of which you own at least a whole 1%.

Companies in this decade generally do not reward competence or diligence, or respect vocational passion. If your specific company does, then by all means, give them your best. Otherwise, don't cast your pearls before swine.

Definitely be kind and pursue many opportunities.
> What about replacing clientside javascript with Rust?

This is, in theory, possible with emscripten or, someday, WebAssembly. See http://myth.aaronlindsay.com/test/ as an example of Hematite, a Minecraft renderer, compiled with Emscripten.

Doing this isn't exactly easy at the moment, as Rust and Emscripten haven't been using the same LLVM versions for a long time, but will eventually be pretty easy to do.

I still plan on just writing JavaScript, personally.
Guatemala’s Embattled President
The Difference Between Machine Learning and Statistics
It started in between, and the Soviets had only made great progress, the IJA wasn't quite at the "wiped out" level.

However this thesis runs into at least two problems:

The Soviets were no great threat to the home islands, at least without the naval oriented Allies providing ships, boats and air cover. Nor do I recall them showing any great interest in that decisive part of the end game, vs. playing the same game they'd started with Eastern Europe. Which, let us not forget, included mass murder of locals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre

The Emperor mentioned the atomic bombing in his famous radio broadcast, not the Soviet invasion. (Very few other contemporaneous, reliable records survived the mass destruction of documents before the occupation.)

Few doubt that it was a cause of the invasion, but there's absolutely no support for it being a greater cause than the atomic bombings, with the promise of more to come.

Seattle actually has optional helmet rental alongside their bike share. You pay an extra $2 when you rent a bike, and you get a code to key in on a locker full of helmets. When you're done with the helmet later on, you drop the helmet off at the locker.

Having said all that, the only reason this helmet rental system exists is because of Seattle's mandatory bike helmet law, which should be repealed as it's a damper on all bike ridership.
The worst-case scenario (large drop in demand coupled with large increase in supply of US treasuries) would probably only be triggered if China dumped a lot of treasuries on the market at once. Say, for argument's sake, 50% of their holdings in one week. This would signal US treasury weakness and would flood the market with a ton of extra US treasuries.

They are currently selling treasuries off at the rate of ~1% of their total holdings per month. So I assume that fear over an uncertain stock market + investors looking for a good opportunity to pick up cheap US treasuries will provide enough demand to soak up the new supply of treasuries that are trickling into the market.

Many European countries were involved in that conflict. The UK, France, and Netherlands all had substantial territory conquered by the Japanese. Germany and Italy were allied with the Japanese. The Soviets attacked Japan. Even countries not directly involved with Japan probably still have strong opinions if they were involved with Germany, what with the alliance. So that leaves, what, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland for potential sources of impartiality there?

I've seen longjmp used in a number of fairly large projects, with diverse teams. E.g. postgresql.

If abstracted away they don't necessarily cause that many problems. Sure, it'd be nicer if there were a better alternative, but often there's just none. And no C++ isn't always an alternative. Many older platforms have only horribly bad C++ compilers, certainly not ones where you want to rely on exception handling.

SW Battlefront can run on linux, thanks to Wine. [1]

Wine can be a pain to use, if you're not comfortable enough with linux. But know that it's possible. I had the game running fine, only with some minor annoyances (like a very long loading time). But it was years ago, you might find a more recent version of Wine which runs the game smoothly, almost out of the box.

I just wanted to encourage you. Keep learning linux, keep toying with Wine, and you'll be able to play this game (and others) ;)

Edit : I realized you were probably referring to the newest SW Battlefront... My bad. Well, it still applies somewhat : Wine will be able, eventually, someday, to run this upcoming SW Battlefront.

Well, by then we were starting to get a good take on what the post-war Soviets were going to be like, and with FDR's death and Truman, not previously an insider, the government wasn't quite so in thrall to them.

However we did signal flexibility to the Japanese about the Emperor's position; we weren't stupid, we knew that might be part of an acceptable and otherwise "unconditional" surrender.

That's the one single reason why I keep Windows 8.1 on my HD. Over the last 3 years I've used Windows for maybe 13-14 hours in total. Fortunately, more and more games come out on Linux, too. And some games run pretty good in Wine. Fallout 3, for example, runs faster on Linux (with higher settings) than it does on Windows. Even though I updated everything, disabled pretty much anything that could run in the background and don't have much installed.

I can't even imagine how Windows can still be the preferred OS for gaming nowadays. Using Windows is a pain in the butt, and so is playing games on it. The whole OS by default wastes precious resources those games could use, and it gets worse with every new version. On Linux I'm the only person who tells the OS how and when to waste the resources.
Your definition seems even worse. Are pension funds (and all the other institutional investors using brokers) retail investors?
No. There will be a bunch of us in sales, or sales support if the actual selling is "icky." And that's pre-sales, or "applications / systems / solutions engineering" which equals, "engineer a perception of value in the customers mind so the sales person can close a deal. I have and continue to make a pretty good living doing that kind of work. Demand is high too. Growing.

And a pile more in consulting, because we can't seem to automate the perception bias inherent in an opinion we pay for as opposed to one produced "in house."
When it comes to currencies, supply has not such a powerful effect as people think. The value of a currency is determined more by the subjective ability of the government to support the currency, not by the amount of it in circulation. If supply had such importance, large countries like Russia, China, and India would have a great advantage over the USA, because their currencies are currently not in wide circulation. In theory, the US could continue printing money until everybody in the world would be using USD (now, if this would or should happen is another thing).

You'll have difficulty finding even a good hedge fund at 1% management fee. Most charge what's known as Two and Twenty -- 2% of assets under management and 20% of profits. Point72 charges as high as 3% and 50%.

The reality is that we want everyone to be happy, so we are often forced to workaround the workarounds. The end result is everything gets slowed down and messed up gradually.

This happens because of many reasons but it will happen in the future again and again. This is part of software development.

The best thing we can do to reduce this kind of cost is to think before we do. A good design and discipline often saves much.
Yeah it's confusing... You're right that a devalued Yuan helps their exporters. Of course, too much is a bad thing too. They want to keep their currency within a narrow range relative to the USD. They were recently making a move to do that which sparked all of those 'currency war' headlines:

http://www.wsj.com/articles/china-moves-to-devalue-the-yuan-...

They did that as a 'one-off thing' but it seems like everyone interpreted it to mean their economy was actually really in bad shape so investors started to get out before their assets dropped more. Then the stock market went to hell and now they're surprised that everyone is spooked:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/27/us-china-yuan-idUS...

So basically they sparked a bit of a panic and have been throwing levers to try to reassure everyone but each thing they try seems to just make it worse.

At least that's what I'm seeing. :-)

I'm an avid biker (own 4) and Divvy user. I'm in the group that rarely (if ever) uses a helmet on a bike share bike but always on my own bikes, and to be honest it seems perfectly safe. The bikes are slow, very heavy with a low center of gravity and very easy to hop on/off of. It's difficult to fall off them in a way that a helmet would matter.

Obviously a helmet is better than no helmet but the biggest time you'd need one on those bikes is if you get hit by a car. Avoiding the crash completely is the best bet there. Having more people on bikes (so drivers know to look) should do more for safety than wearing a helmet.
Except that one is currently open and the other isn't. That carries a lot of weight for some of us.
