The problem is that a huge swathe of mainstream and formerly mainstream macroeconomic viewpoints are classed as "Keynesian", and the mainstream "New Keynesian" macroeconomic model you speak of which focuses on manipulating inflation to overcome resistance to real wage cuts and assumes a minimal role for fiscal policy is rather different from the traditional "Keynesian" (and "Post Keynesian") emphasis on increasing net government spend to stimulate consumption in a downturn.

Pretty much any undergrad who's read their introduction to national accounts and Keynesian concept of aggregate demand and multipliers can devise a set of simultaneous equations which will yield both a real wage fall and an unemployment rise in a basic stylised macro model if you also slash G and raise T (especially if the assumption is - as with Greece - that the expected debt servicing will largely be repatriated to overseas bondholders)

Congrats! This is a big accomplishment in and of itself.

To throw in my 2 cents, without any expert knowledge or experience, I think your corporate price is too low by about an order of magnitude.
The mistake is in thinking it should or could be a hard science like physics.

That's fair, so far as academic research goes, as there are plenty of academics doing respectable work in in non-scientific fields such as music and poetry.

But it's another matter to decide if and how to ethically apply the results of soft-science research (likewise music and poetry) in ways that affect society.

If I wanted to talk securely to any of you guys I could just setup a hidden SSH server on Tor. None of you would have any problem using sftp to give me messages and files or use talk to chat.

As long as we used the latest OpenSSH and picked the better algorithms we'd stand a better chance of resisting a skilled attacker than using this project.

The problem is we have nothing to say to each other. We all have sensitive conversations with our lawyers, doctors, immediate family, and the like. And those people cannot make use of solutions that require knowledge of how to actually use a computer.

As someone who bought a city property last year the Scottish system is lightyears ahead of England. I don't have to worry about leasehold, freehold etc - I bought my flat, it is mine. Buying through solicitors and the associated regulation produces a much more civilised system without gazumping (or at least much less of it).

If you've ever spent much time in the Highlands you'll realise how remote and limited it actually is. You're realistically always going to have very large tracts of land owned by individuals or groups because it requires economies of scale to run. Short of making almost all of it national parks I'm not convinced the current state of play is that bad.
Plus there is the right to roam legislation enabling people to actually use the land, it isn't like you're not allowed to walk on it.
Interesting. This was all learned while I played Everquest. I'm glad I never got into WoW. It seems like all the same. In fact if you subsitute "Everquest" with every reference to "World of Warcraft" in this article I don't think anyone would know the difference.
The maths models used in economics are rarely checked against real-world data, but when they are they often turn out to be wrong.

A major instance of this problem comes from models used for trading, which often assume Gaussian distributions and Brownian-motion behaviors. According to those, extreme moves such as the ones occurring during economic crises such as the one of 2007 are several sigmas away from the mean -- making them supposed to happen perhaps once every 10^10 years. Yet they happen every 20 years.

The "We are all adults" thing often gets brought up when discussing codes of conduct at various work places I've been at. It tends to fail spectacularly.

The main reason is that "common sense" is more a matter of culture than it is "sense". For most people, "common sense" is the thing that you don't think about, don't question, don't investigate alternatives to... because it is "common sense". Probably you can see where I'm going with this.

"Common sense" is a big heading for all the things I believe strongly in, and wish that everyone agreed with me. If someone disagrees, it practically begs ridicule because how can someone disagree with common sense? And yet, it is also the thing we do not question.

"Being an adult" is very similar. Adults have a code of conduct. It is obvious. For example you don't belittle other people. You don't ignore to other points of view. You don't drink alcohol at lunch time during a work day. You don't show up to work late. You don't wear running shoes to the office. You don't act friendly to the cleaning staff (what if they got uppity?) And... you see where I'm going. Somebody thinks that various of these things are obviously "Adult behaviour". Somebody will not. And both of those people will be adults.

Such a code of conduct will invite unbelievable flame wars in my experience, because you will have people naively thinking that everybody thinks the same way as they do. When they find out that it is not true they will ridicule the others for not being "an adult"... and the "fun" begins.
What is the definition of a robot?
Computer Science is a weird academic department. There is very much such a thing as the pure, non-engineering formal science of computing. However, most Comp Sci departments justify their budgets and existence by recourse to teaching undergraduates a minimal foundation in actual computer-science, and a substantial amount of software engineering, which is actually a separate field.

Personally, I like pure computer science and CS academia, but most of the undergrads taking CS degrees are trying to learn software engineering, and will object loudly if asked to take, for instance, type theory, topology, computability and automata theory, statistical learning theory (ML courses have massive drop rates), computational complexity, Kolmogorov complexity theory, how to build an operating system, compilers and optimization, abstract interpretation for static analysis, mathematical logic, etc.

I tried to enforce them once with a precommitment service (i.e. you set up a deadline and pay money if you slip). The first missed deadline stressed me, which made me miss more deadlines, which got me even more stressed, thus missing even more deadlines, up until the point my credit card started bouncing. And mind you, this was on trivial tasks - I just couldn't overcome the anxiety and make myself do them.

I ended up an order of magnitude more miserable and in a very bad financial position for half a year. I can see how it works for people with big tolerance for stress (apparently I'm not one of them), but it's a double-edged sword.

"like channels and goroutines"

Channels and goroutines advertised as the poster child of Go language features for simplifying concurrency since the beginning. When I tried to use them I was surprised how difficult actually it is to use them correctly, so many subtleties to deal with.

Yes they are addictive, but I suspect beginners really are not using them correctly.
I haven't mentioned Bitcoin at all. No, the fee structure tied to CC (and also PayPal since it's largely based on CC) is so multi-tiered, that it needs to be redone without up to 5 tiers (PayPal, Visa, Issuing bank etc) making money on a transaction.

EFTPOSin Europe e.g. has way lower transaction costs and there is absolutely no reason why this shouldn't apply for credit card transactions. Some european countries have been regulating the visa/master card interchange fee already, I hope there is more to come.
This sort of approach is a thought process and methodology we have been training NGOs, journalists and human rights organisations in for years at Security First (http://www.secfirst.org). Though it is strange to think about it this way, the work of many NGOs and journalists is actually very similar to intelligence organisations (a cycle of planning requirements, collecting, processing, analysis/production, distribution to policy makers, collect, etc) and in many ways the threats/defence measures are similar (insider threats, digital penetration, disruption etc).

All too often organisations we work with focus on tools (encryption,etc) instead of beginning with processes (compartmentalisation, need to know, vetting etc), so usually we have to begin with them. For many reasons this can cause people and organisation'so discomfort ("We are a human rights org, we won't want to hide information from other staff.")

I could talk all day about the subject and have been meaning to write up or do a full public presentation about it somewhere about the methodology and how it applies to NGOs, media etc - I just need to find the right place to do that!

Unless I'm reading your example incorrectly, it's pretty easy to catch those if, in foo_destroy, you ensure that you don't try to free a null pointer.

> It's just a minimal example.

I know -- but it tends to be confusing if you free() something in another scope than the one where you're malloc()-ing it. That's why your example, even if minimal, seemed confusing.

The obvious exception is if you have some reference counting mechanism/GC mechanism in place -- but then the wise thing to do is to not manually touch pointers all over the code.

'Native' usually means one of two more precisely defined terms:

* Endemic - it is not found anywhere else.

I imagine that many sea birds would be indigenous there at the very least.

Have you seen the documentary on the amazing Randi? It's called an honest liar. It shows that he actively deceived people in order to push his own agenda of what 'truth' is. So I didn't think he was a debunker as much as a persuader.

FYI - I met Randi personally about eleven years ago. He was a wildly charismatic person to talk to. It doesn't show as much when he's on stage or on an interview speaking to an audience.

I'm working my way through "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Kahnemann. It doesn't have much (or any) in the way of heavy math, but it references many experiments, and the tone in general is about how easy it is to "disprove" standard economic theory.

I like it.
I got involved in a video streaming project for mobile last year. The back end had all sorts of aggressive dynamic bandwidth optimisation: start low, switch to a higher quality if you can and so on. I told the dev team they were making assumptions about internal mobile network topology that they couldn't possibly know and that it would bite them. It did. So badly in fact that there was a dispute about deliverables between them and the owner of the brand. Their solution didn't work well on some carriers and was almost unusable on others. Looking back, I'm sure it was because of some of the issues raised in this presentation.

Over a long weekend, I cobbled together a very basic ffmpeg and nginx-rtmp-module solution using fixed low bandwidth videos (about 8k per second which works on EDGE very nicely - think Africa). It not only ran better - mobile networks don't mind giving you a small slice as long as it's predictable - but used about half a million dollars less hardware on our side.

Meanwhile machine learning is the high interest credit card of technical debt, what could go wrong? http://research.google.com/pubs/pub43146.html

I entered stats through econometrics. I love econometrics. Econometrics is seriously hampered relative to other applied math fields by the inability to apply large scale casual experiments. For this reason parsimony is soooo important in modelling. Machine learning is the opposite of parsimony. Machine learning is wonderful for many applications, it lets us shrug off a first error of model selection, but it's not a panacea to the math problem and I think it actually might make it much worse.
I completely agree - the more I used it the less I liked it. I really enjoyed its implicit simplicity at first. The code I wrote had purpose and was clear, consice, and easy to understand. However, as the codebase grew larger I really ran into the issues more people talk about. Specifically lack of generics. I was using reflection to simulate this, however my performance was terrible on large sets of data. I had to end up relying on a code generator, which seems to be the direction Go is heading.

Edit: Package versioning was another pain point, as someone mentioned below. Their built in package manager is almost too simple. As with anything simple, it's great at first but not so great when more complexities arise.

It matters because when a country (i)is busy trying to balance its budget in a time of relatively little economic growth and (ii)has experienced a sustained and relatively rapid growth in land values over a long period of time, taxing some of that property price appreciation is sensible economic policy, and often-opaque[1] tax-evading shell companies are a natural target for slapping with a property tax if they want to continue holding onto all that prime real estate.
