The best part about Krugman is reading real economists try to figure out how to deal with him. Mostly they try not to engage, but every now and then you'll see several try to band together to "patch up" some statement he's made that's out of line (in their minds). Always a mistake.

It is not a hard science, but out of all of the soft sciences, I think economists understand just how tenuous their situation is. This is probably because they are using very hard tools to get a handle on a very fuzzy situation.

ADD: One of the bad things over the past 10-15 years has been the use of economics as a political weapon. It was bad enough when professors got stuck in one system or another and you had to wait an entire generation for new ideas to take hold. Now you're seeing a lot of laymen using economics as a way of arguing politics. Doesn't matter to me one way or another what kind of politics people have, but at least if you're an academic you have some notion of the realities of this field of study. In political discourse it's all just throwing dog poop around and supporting your team. That's going to make the serious study of economics even more difficult in the years ahead.
I find it interesting that people don't realize that decimal notation has exactly the same issues as floating point.

You can't store 1/10 of a £ in a binary floating point number exactly so don't use it for money.

Well, you can't store 1/3 of a £ in a decimal number exactly either.

The only difference is that people have got so used to decimal that we don't even notice the issue any more, and choose prices and have systems to work around the issue. It's so ingrained we don't even know we are doing it.

So don't think that decimals are any better at storing money amounts than binary floating point, they are not.

however all of the history and workarounds that we've been using for many years before computers for this issue also work if you store them in computers the same way.

That's why you use decimals, it's because they replicate the representation issues we are used to already so we don't even notice they are there, it's not that they are fundementally better in any way.

I'm sure other companies like AMD can figure out the transistor count without consulting the Intel press release. If Intel isn't publishing a figure like total transistor count, it's for marketing purposes. All indicators point to the fact that Intel is struggling at the 14mm process.

Filet-O-Firewall exposes millions of home routers to attacks
What do you expect from Skylake based MBP that can't be done with the current MBP?
There's nothing intrinsically wrong with sophisticated mathematical abstractions, but they have to be built upon a foundation of realistic assumptions otherwise they're just intellectual masturbation.

There's a disturbing number of economics papers with complex mathematical models built on patently wrong assumptions (perfect competition, a 'natural' rate of unemployment, no barriers to entry in markets and all of that rubbish).

I suspect the math is intimidating to policymakers and their advisors even if it isn't to some of us.
Exactly. I'm also doubtful that taking a more real science approach to economics (hypothesis -> experiment -> result -> rule) will work. It's a science about societies and societies change.

For example, the financial markets are the most measured markets out there, with the most microscopic details recorded. One interesting thing that happens after financial
crashes are crises of theory. For example prior to 1987 American options didn't show [volatility smiles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatility_smile). After the crash the smiles appeared, making the markets a very different place. The same happened after Subprime and the LIBOR scandal, when the notion of a "risk-free rate" suddenly disappeared: governments now had to compensate for their default risk and market quotes were unreliable. Academics still struggle with the whole notion, although it seems that the current practice is settling around OIS discounting and CVA/DVA.

The point is, rules change. Hence in economics you can't just empirically deduce a rule and let it be, you constantly have to recalibrate it.
We recently had a parliamentary election here in Denmark, and economic models featured rather prominently as arguments on both sides. One particular party would consistently refer to the economic model they used as a "calculator", which obviously in most people's mind is something that cannot be wrong. This went unquestioned and even seems to have caught on.
I'm still hoping for external GPUs to catch on.

A decent CPU and adequate graphics is usually all I need in a laptop while traveling, but it would be nice to be able to plug in a more beefy GPU at home to play games and drive more monitors at higher resolutions.

It does mean that users must explicitly and totally trust PF. From a customer standpoint, the product might as well encrypt on the server side (immediately discarding the plaintext, ala lavabit). What attacks does encrypting in JS actually prevent? How does it decrease the trust required? Customers must still trust, 100%, that PF is being honest (and not compromised). The fact that PF-provided JS does the crypto is a relatively minor detail in this scenario.

Note this is nothing unique to PF and I'm not trying to be negative. Other projects do this client-side crypto and claim it's a fix, but it's not really. Without ways to verify the contents of sites, it's not really solvable.

You should just be honest about the limitations of the implementation and let users know this still requires trusting PF. I'm sure it's still rather marketable because the target market is probably just people looking for "secure forms" or "encrypted forms". You're better off focusing on how pgp is great, how you're based in a country with good laws, how your company has top notch opsec and auditing, etc.
I'm not sure if this would suit your use case, but there's a Skylake Core M compute stick coming out:

You should wonder if this is a good thing, if government should not be involved in this. At the moment, the decision what research to fund is economically driven. Diseases that aren't profitable are ignored.
UNCOVERING THE FACE OF RANSOMWARE
Properties and Best Uses of Visual Encodings
Great comment. Incidentally, have you come across Deirdre Mccloskey, I've been reading her book 'Bourgeois Dignity: Why Economics Can't Explain the Modern World' and finding it really interesting. Economics is a social science, taking measurements / accumulating data and theorising on that data causes changes in behaviour. Just sitting around talking about economics, or your weekly budget, drives changes in behaviour.

As a layperson with a bit of an interest in economics I don't really see how, as the article says "econ is now a rogue branch of applied math". More like economics uses applied maths, or something like that. It's a 'social science', we can't reveal the laws (let's call them 'habits') of economics like we do The Laws of Nature, because circumstances change -both globally and locally (macro / micro)- and new economic phenomenon emerge.

It'd be interesting to see what future historians have to say about present day economics.
>Well, I am not a big fan of today's "more debt, more gov't spending = more prosperity"

Because austerity is working out just brilliantly everywhere it's been tried?

What people tend to forget about government deficits and debt is that it is just one side of the economic coin. It's exactly the same thing as saying "the private sector saves too much".

You would do well to understand the meaning of the term "survivorship bias".
It is safe to say, that the economic theory a person subscribes to is highly related to their income.

Unless, of course, you're a politician, in which case it is related to vote count.

> trickle down

I was just reading the convention speech of the Democratic candidate for president in 1896, William Jennings Bryan. In his speech ( http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/5354/ ) he says "There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that if you just legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, that their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous their prosperity will find its way up and through every class that rests upon it." So some Democrats had to counter this trickle down nonsense even back then.

As an aside, in the speech he says "we shall fight them to the uttermost, having behind us the producing masses of the nation and the world". Can you imagine a Democratic presidental nominee saying that today, even if by some miracle it was Bernie Sanders? It's impossible - the heirs, and rentiers, and LPs and VCs and "job creators" and other parasites on those of us who work and create wealth have gained too much control of the system. And for the past two weeks signs are around that it could be entering one of its periodic crackups.
There is no such thing as usable encryption without integrity (authentication). Client side crypto here changes rather little.

Google is as bad as anyone when I open up stuff in my Ubuntu phone.
Yes you have a 3d world, but now everything in it needs to be interact able. Knock your fist against a wall for example, it makes subtlety different noises everytime - how do you program for that? Everything in the environment should have physics too. In a survival game if I pick up cello-tape and a gun and flashlight I'd expect to be able to attach it all together myself with my hands.

All this stuff you can hide behind a button press on a gamepad+tv, but in VR it's so much more jarring when the world you are walking around can only be somewhat interacted with - the techniques we use to fake stuff today just don't stand up when you can look at them from a mm away. The idea of VR+gamepad just doesn't make sense to me - If I can't see/control my hands/feet as I'd expect then all these reports of VR induced sickness come as no surprise.

I wonder why there were so few laptops with iX-5... processors in the market. Most laptops with 5th generation Cores seem to have low-power U processors, but even these are hard to find with some manufacturers.

How to Use Mytop to Monitor MySQL Performance
Very interesting approach! Ants are fascinating creatures, I used to spend hours as a kid watching them build their nests or raid a termite colony...

And although I agree with many of the other posters here that one has to be extremely careful with biological pest control when using imported species, I still think that on the whole this approach is definitely better than poisoning the ecosystem with chemicals. Of course one has to do one's homework first, thoroughly, to avoid "Hawaiian mongoose disasters". But after that has been done, let's go for it!
2008? That's a coincidental year. Around about the time of the last crisis and the beginning of austerity politics. The worst economic period since the Great Depression arguably. The rich getting ever richer. Real wages for most people stagnating or falling. Massive unemployment and under-employment. Quantitative Easing not creating real jobs and fixing infrastructure. Low interest rates (still!) Multinational corporations with so much money through tax evasion schemes that they literally don't know what to spend it on. The ongoing privatisation of public services which rarely if ever benefits the public. Essentially, ongoing class warfare and levels of inequality not seen in practically a century. Regulatory and political capture and political collusion. Trade agreements on the horizon being negotiated in secret that would exacerbate every issue already mentioned.

And you say Krugman has wandered off reservation? Rubbish. He's got to keep banging the same drum because nothing's getting fixed.

Well, the current 15 inch MBP is running 2 years old Haswell processors, so it's simply a bad buy when Skylake MBPs are coming out in a few months.

Additionally, Skylake brings DDR4 memory, Thunderbolt 3.0 (Thunderbolt over USB), and better performance/battery life. There's also possible wireless charging support, and the Skylake integrated GPU possibly has double the speed of the Haswell Iris chips.
This is very useful. Thanks for the share.
How to Set Up an Iptables Firewall to Protect Traffic Between Your Servers
The client side crypto is only as strong as the server side security. If, as an example, I get DigitalOcean to reset the password on the VM (or any other way to access the web servers) then I can simply add another line to the JS to post the plaintext data to a server of my choice. Game over.

You should use PF if you trust them not to be compromised (hacked or be malicious) and not to backdoor the software. It shouldn't hinge on the client side crypto.
Pretty much. Apple is a good example; the Macbook Pro 15 inch skipped over the 5xxx series, and the next update should be a Skylake chip.

Graphics in modern 3d games are completely faked, and it works because they can control the view medium (the tv - a 2d window). When you can walk around the world though in VR would you not expect to be able to kick objects around, move lights, lock doors, break tables to use the pieces as weapons? Instead you still have the same game as on the tv where all that stuff is off limits, resulting in this weird in-between-fake-and-real-world-simulation which is jarring to play.

I suspect that the parent poster is talking about the geology of Hawaii.

New Zealand was part of Gondwanaland, and became isolated by continental drift. Anything living there when the islands became separated from the rest of the supercontinent is native.

Hawaii is a bunch of volcanoes that sprung out of the middle of the ocean. There were no land animals on the islands when they first became islands.

Now, that's a slightly topsy-turvy definition of native, which (etymologically) should mean any species that came into existence on the island.

- The ability to run external 5K monitors.
