I'm holding a copy of Prince and happened to find that verse. It's about Ottoman imperium and feudal France.

If there is a dictator and you simply become the new dictator, then keeping a country is easy. That would have been because none of the military leaders would have any loyalty among the people. But nationalism has happened since and it's questionable if this would hold anymore.

If there is large number of Feudal lords, this makes taking France potentially easy as some of them would betray the king. But on the other hand they would have loyalty of the people with them.

Times have changed, otherwise Iraq should be peace of cake now that Saddam is dead.

>I'd propose a general rule that the more focused the board, its heights of brilliance will be lower and further between at the same time as the average level of discourse increases.

It seems to me that there seem to be some ideal community sizes when it comes to creating interesting, novel, and useful content. Back when 4chan was much smaller, /b/ (random) seemed to be generating new memes more frequently and with a higher average quality. But as 4chan grew, /b/ has tended to slide into more lowest common denominator content (e.g. porn and gore).

I think there was something similar on /v/ (the video game board). At a certain point, the community grew too large to have a coherent collective consciousness. The solution in this case was to create an entire board of "containment threads" for the popular video games and subcultures. This freed /v/ up more to discussing what was trending in the video game world without having to deal with the pesky people playing games and talking about them.

Today, some smaller boards like /mu/ and /fit/ and /k/ seem to be at just the right level of activity to support a vibrant, evolving culture complete with "localised memes" which sometimes cross-pollinate to other boards or outward to the general internet.

If you sold everything in 2007 and re-bought in 2009 you're substantially wealthier now than you were in 2007. So in that way, cash appreciated (relative to assets) during the crash of 2008.

During that time period the numbers in your bank account didn't get any bigger. But if that were the sole qualification for "increasing wealth" then the folks constantly worried about deflation are totally wrong!
Watched the video the other day, enjoyed it. Note that this already exists in OS X since Mavericks and in Linux since 3.11, although it's not enabled by default on any distro AFAIK (more info: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/zswap.txt).

Related: I wish Apple did more things like this, videos explaining the internals of the system. The OS X kernel source code is open but you need a deep understanding of Mach and OS internals to understand what's going on. And most processes and services running on the background are closed source and who the hell knows what's going on.
Weren't you? You could've bought more houses and companies that you could before. I guess it depends how you define wealth but if I can afford 5 houses and 2 companies one year and then 8 houses and 3 companies next year I would think I am wealthier :)
I am trying to understand what the case for nationalization is in this instance. Is it an arbitrary emotional standard, or a rational viewpoint-neutral standard? I am wary of emotional and viewpoint-dependent standards.

This is what I was referring to. Your statement reads like a religious dogma. There is no argument, no proof, no room for nuance. Just an axiom, which should be taken at face value and assimilated into one's set of beliefs. And this is something GG does very often. They build entire mythologies about the movement to paint the movement as some sort of a bogeyman. I think this is beneficial to gamergate. The opponents, with all their propaganda, make themselves appear ridiculous and work hard at discrediting themselves. Gamergaters don't even need to engage in advocacy. They just need to let the anti-GG keep being anti-GG.
I am not sure, if you even need 25mmm in this particular case. I would say that with the right aiming even a machine gun will do it.

But when you do not look at the penetrating power alone, but the blowing effect, than a bigger round can hold more explosives (of course, I don't know, if the A-10 Gatling cannon can also take explosive rounds instead of the armor breaking rounds).

Eh, not really "easily." If a comparable civilization was located around Alpha Centauri, we would have to focus the equivalent of an Arecibo radio telescope at it for many months, maybe a year, to detect its presence. That's "easy" in the sense that we could do it, but it's also very expensive to do and we won't do it without having at least some idea that a civilization exists there already. The farther out we go from Earth, the harder it is, and it gets impossible (in the sense that we lack the resources to do it) very quickly with increasing distance.

For interplanetary communication, tight beams would make way more sense than broadcast. And unless one of those beams is directed at us, we aren't likely to intercept it. This is really what SETI is looking for because it's the easiest thing to look for.
Figure 2 illustrates five-year correlations between
monthly U.S. stock and U.S. bond total returns over
five-year intervals since 1926 (17 distinct, nonoverlapping periods). While the long-term average
correlation between these two asset classes has
been 0.25, the figure shows that correlations over
shorter windows vary widely from this average,
with a range of 0.72 for the five years ended 1975
to –0.54 for the five years ended 2005.

It has nothing to do with desire for markets (other than inspiring people that they work better), its the political CYA and patronage that allows people who the government has made commitments to to die. When you can kill people and not go to jail, it is beyond belief.
caseysoftware's argument is not that they're trying to lure a competitor into the market, but rather the threat that, upon spending all the money to reverse-engineer the drug and enter the market, the incumbent could drop its price to $20/dose and the new entrant would be stranded with no way to recover their NRE costs in an economically relevant timeframe.

Both companies might be profitable on a marginal cost basis at $20/dose, but only the incumbent would be profitable on an average cost basis.

Because of this looming (unstated) threat, a competitor chooses to avoid the market.
It is not completely misleading to all users but enough for me to say something.

> As much as I love TFW, I personally think The Forever Peace is a stronger novel.

Honestly, a number of his novels are better, as he freely acknowledges (though not in this interview). It'd be pretty odd for a writer with a long career to perform his best work right out of the gate. (he's written several books in the last decade which are put together a lot more masterfully than The Forever War... I felt Camouflage was pretty close to being a perfect SF novel when I read it the first time)

It's certainly his most influential book, which is about being in the right place at the right time.
No way can this be considered hyperbole. It's just 100% totally wrong.
Dimensionality reduciton is correct - the cosine similarity on a character/word level really just provides a metric for measuring the "anagramness" of two words. But "Mary" and "Army" would have a perfect similarity.

Apple is still selling the old model user upgradable MacBook Pro for $1100 http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro the same price I bought one for in 2011. Except I bought refurbished and smaller HD.

Some of the new machines Apple is selling for $1000 are actually slower at many tasks. But the market has spoken and Apple is selling hardware that suits most user's narrow tasks of email, browsing and video. It also streamlines manufacturing, as they're already focused on mobile where everything must be stuck together in one chip.

But they're enabling 4K video editing on iPhones and iPad Pros with what I'm assuming is custom hardware. And that could be a very smart approach if it was applied to more tasks on Pro computers. Performance could actually move forward again.

As with any Internet discussion, not every point may be immediately substantiated. Your comments in this thread haven't been either.
> I think you've ascribed more malicious intent to the person above you than is fair. Repugnant and repulsive are huge stretches for many genuine businesses starting out.

The person wants to bypass actual quality and compete by advertising instead of on merits. They're changing the rules in a bad way, and I don't much care about their intent: they're screwing up the internet and it's repugnant even if they don't intend it to be.

> Let's say you're a plumber in a city. You have a family at home you need to support. You'd like to rank top ten for "plumber in cityx" but you're competing with hundreds of alternatives, including directories and so on.

So either you're not a good enough plumber to be working on your own, or you've worked with an experienced plumber and have built up your reputation that way.

You're talking about this in the context where people need to manipulate their rankings to compete, but the only reason they need to manipulate their rankings is because their competition is manipulating their rankings. I'm saying I would rather remove manipulation from the system and let people compete on their actual merits. Ads are the problem, not the solution.
If no one has the big picture, systems engineering is not doing its job. Systems engineering is supposed to flow the top-level specs down to the various teams, If those teams have issues with their requirements, they flow that back up.

That is, of course, easier said than done. I have had to deal with my share of unrealistic flow-downs and unsympathetic systems engineers. In this particular case at VW the most likely root cause was a team that had a flow-down they couldn't meet honestly and couldn't change, so they cheated their way around it.
But who's going to release one publically when they can get $1 million for not doing so?

4chan is where a lot of things took root or first came to be "before they were cool", and they might never have been cool or gone unnoticed on other communities. It was a catch all for the best and worst of what you could find on the Internet. It's a place where the worst and best of human behavior is laid bare, uncensored, and could be dealt with or discussed on equal terms and some of the most honest discourse (in terms of true opinions) took place no matter how ugly or uncomfortable the subject matter was. That has value, if nothing else to better understand how messed up society and humans are when they aren't being polite or fearful of consequences. It rids you of any naivety you might have once had, even if its not a place you want to spend any amount of time or participate. If nothing else, it gives the worst of those people a place to go instead of poisoning other online communities with their insanity.

Since all markets are human inventions--there's no "free market" particle--what you're getting at is:

Let's invent a system that makes explicit the choice of dollars over human lives, and let's call that "the free market".

And of course, since freedom is one of those ideas that, in popular use, has been oversimplified to uselessness (e.g. freedom is good, more freedom is more good, without nuance), this "free market" thing sounds like inevitably good--the more freedom, the better, right?

Even if it makes us uncomfortable, how can you say no to the "free market"? Even if, as you yourself seem to acknowledge is vulnerable to sociopathic manipulation, if (some, maybe only a few, maybe even those sociopaths) people want to build a system that normalizes choosing dollars over lives, how can you resist the "free market"?

Easy: it's all human inventions, and I for one don't want sociopaths telling me how to build an economy.

Show HN: My new startup (feedback pls, happy to answer q's)
Hey!

So with a small team I've been developing a new startup in the event planning space. We're significantly improving the way that you find and book venues for your special events (weddings, birthdays, business dinners etc...). You can refine your venue search results according to your budget, event type, venue type and more and reach out to the representative of venues with the click of a button!

If you'd rather NOT read the long post then you can watch the demo video here: https://vimeo.com/137506756

You've decided to continue reading? Good on you! So for example, let's say that you're planning your wedding - you'd go to www.venuevortex.com and choose the city in which you're looking for a venue. You'll then get a bunch of results within the selected city, you can narrow down these results by using the filters on the left hand side according to your budget, capacity, event type, amenities etc...

Once you've found a venue that looks promising you can hit the "More detials" button and here you can learn more about the venue, all of it's available room options and if all is well you can hit "Get In Touch". You can then send a request directly to the representative of this venue and receive a response shortly!

You no longer have to call around a bunch of venues to find the right one, you can narrow down results easily according to your requirements and reach out to several venue representatives at once and await their responses giving you the options you desire, at the speed you desire.

That's the gist of it, we're launching initially in Ontario, Canada.

Open to feedback to make this as valuable as possible to both the venue representatives, and the event planners.

The campaigns themselves are the free speech.

Free speech != profitable speech. The journalists can say whatever they want. If they want to make a profit doing it selling to an audience they're simultaneously beating up, they'll have to deal with the antagonistic relationship they created.

Yes, I largely agree with the logic underlying your analysis (though not your conclusion), and did not mean my post to say that they were trying to lure competitors into the market, but more to say that they would (though I understand your reading of it probably makes more sense than my writing).

If you believe that the eventual average cost would prevent a new entrant, the new entrant would have to know (or believe that there was a high probability of) the entrenched producer would cut prices upon the second producer's entry. I do not find this to be particularly likely. In any case, the first producer would be betting on the likelyhood of the second producer's estimation of the likelyhood of a downward price change by the first. This strains credulity (, in my view).[1] I think that if anything, your argument proves too much, as no company would even enter a competitive market if what you describe is the case.
