This Week in Data (October 2, 2015)
I think your use of dots speaks for itself there ;). I know of several companies that log DNS, and it wouldn't pass inspection by a human operator which also has to be considered for something to be stealthy.
23gb of ram, modern i7, ssd. I was doing development on Vagrant via VMWare, which slows things down, but not that much.

Maybe the deciding factor here is what we consider to be "instantly" is different. I do most of my work in VIM in a terminal and find most web-based apps[0] unbearably slow.

[0]: I'm not saying IntelliJ is web-based. I'm using it as a common metric.
Not only that, but the private prison population was very small in the 1980's and early 1990's when the vast majority of the prison boom happened. Private prisons are mostly a late-90's and 2000's reaction to the desire of states to save money housing their huge prison populations.

Interesting thing is that one of the largest plea bargain use-cases are DUI first offenders, a group for whom many that is there only interaction with the criminal justice system -- and there are some white middle-class suburbanites who loooooove plea bargains then.

I wonder how the cut off is determined. Maybe there is a way to hint that a piece of content should be in the preview.
Yet, I look at some recent buildings, I don't see why they are succeeding while these did not. Maybe its a question of location and not just the looks, or the quality of the individual units or just the nature of the inhabitants.
Yes, I'm targeting only folks in those cities. Since we've initially launched in Ontario. We're only targeting Ontarians at the moment. The issue is really with the demand side, is there a real use-case here? Perhaps a pivot may be necessary.
I really liked this sentiment of Oscar Wilde on charity:

“[Charity] is not a solution [to poverty]: it is an aggravation of the difficulty. The proper aim is to try and reconstruct society on such a basis that poverty will be impossible…Just as the worst slave-owners were those who were kind to their slaves, and so prevented the horror of the system being realised by those who suffered from it, and understood by those who contemplated it, so, in the present state of things in England, the people who do most harm are the people who try to do most good…”

Agreed.

For shallow or narrow queries of the graph this is the way to go.

But for deep and broad queries, if you want to perform some valuable analysis that involves traversing the graph some non-trivial distance from the point of origin, that's where PostgreSQL is going to let you down and you would probably be better off picking a more appropriate tool.

Same question though: How do you want to query your graph, and are you willing to limit yourself to not querying it in a certain way?
The rules apply to the whole system -- notably exchanges, the exchange "members", and broker-dealers. Latour is a broker-dealer (BD) and thus have to play by the rules, even if they don't have customers.

If they weren't a BD, their BD (which is required to ultimately reach the markets) would be on the hook for letting this happen. ISOs are something that get a lot of compliance/regulatory scrutiny and most BDs don't let their customers use them. If they are allowed, there's a lot of reporting/transparency/surveillance to ensure they are issued properly. And as you can see from this fine, there are a lot of rules and corner cases one must cover and apparently even the best firms mess it up one way or another.

Latour's previous fine (read Matt Levine's continually excellent articles about this stuff) was for "Net Capital Requirements" which are designed to keep customer money safe, particularly in the presence of other customers who might blow up ... of course Latour has no customers, but it is still the rules. [Although IMO this one was a grey area where Latour probably had better models than what the rules required, but since they didn't match the rules properly they got fined.]
I don't think the human beings will have no solution in hand for such a critical situation. Clearing up the debris to a good enough extent such that we can launch things normally won't be that hard at all, when hundreds of billions of dollars are at disposal. I'm not worried about this one.
This is now so common I am starting to become numb to about it.
Then we have the famous quote: "if you think you understand quantum mechanics, then you don’t".

"What about a poll among 33 leading thinkers at a conference in Austria in 2011. This group of physicists, mathematicians and philosophers was given 16 multiple-choice questions about the meaning of the theory, and their answers displayed little consensus."

"One of the most telling questions in the Austrian poll was whether there will still be conferences about the meaning of quantum theory in 50 years time. Forty-eight percent said “probably yes”, only 15% said “probably no”. Twelve percent said “I’ll organize one no matter what”, but that’s academics for you."

From a BBC article by Philip Ball.
Yet I somehow think they were built with some of that intention. And I don't think that what came in later decades was that much better.

> Sharing code is no longer cool if people have to share back. Or at least so it seems.

There are plenty of licenses which require/encourage that. The problem with GPL is that everything that touches the GPL code has to become GPL or compatible.

Adobe for example will never put this in Photoshop, or Microsoft in Internet Explorer, as they do not want to GPL their software. Net result is no wide support for this image format, which is a net loss compared to a e.g. LGPL/MPL scenario where companies could do that but still would have to contribute to the library if they made any changes/improvements.

That example is looking at a specific file size. So what he's saying is that he was unable to produce a JPEG 2000 image in a file that size from that image, not from an image of that resolution in general.
One neat result in metaphysics is the discovery that there can't be a property for every predicate, since this gives rise to analogs of Russel's paradox. (Does the property of being a non-self-exemplifying property exemplify itself?)
In my case this is what matters most:

- Watch what you DRINK, not so much what you eat. Drink water or black coffee/cold-brew or tea most of the time, and turn other beverages into rare treats. Soda is perfectly fine once a week but buy the smallest size and sip it without a straw so that you enjoy it a lot more. (I was shocked at how I could barely finish a tiny Coke by sipping it but somehow I could practically chug one 3x the size just by using a straw. Don't use straws; they increase consumption and keep you from even tasting most of the calories that you're consuming.)

- Cook most of your meals, multiple meals at once. Yes, this takes time and it'll take awhile to become any good at it but it's worthwhile. Pick a day, spend 1-2 hours cooking your lunches for the rest of the week. You will tend to fill your shopping lists with more raw vegetables and meat that go a long way. This also keeps you from finding excuses to head to the nearest fast-food place at lunch time.

- Do not ever skip a meal, no matter what your weight is. Prefer breakfasts high in protein, like eggs and chicken sausage, with few carbs (not too much of cereal or muffins or similar).

- Take every excuse to walk. Find someplace to go a few times a week, like a coffee shop, and walk the entire way. Even when I drive somewhere, I'm never afraid to park the car and walk in (no drive-through, no spending 10 minutes to find that "good" parking spot; just walk from somewhere a bit further out). Same thing with stairs versus elevators; and if you take an escalator, walk up the escalator instead of riding it.

- Make some effort to build muscle to get some "free" calorie consumption. You don't need a lot. The biggest muscles in your body are better at working off calories so if you have limited time, start with your legs. A gym isn't strictly required for a lot of good exercises; you just need to read up on a few things to do and be really consistent about doing sets a few times a week.
You mean, like the fact of Earth-centric solar system models everybody used to believe in?

This is not why people look down on philosophy. This is why STEM people fail to learn anything about it. Other people look down on philosophy, because it's close to impossible to make a living out of philosophy.
It really only takes a single spark and semi-charismatic leadership to start a revolution if there is widespread hostility to the ruling party. The Taiping nearly overthrew the Qing dynasty, and they were led by a deranged religious fanatic who had a breakdown after failing repeatedly to get into civil service and claimed to be the second coming of Jesus. This came at a time when the expansion and prosperity of the Qianlong emperor was well in the rear-view, and population pressures, corruption, monetary shifts (the massive influx of Spanish silver in exchange for tea, silk, china, etc, was replaced by opium, which threw off the rates of exchange between gold, silver and cash) and other factors were resulting in a real decline in standard of living.

Today, any rebellion would probably need to involve a dissatisfied faction of the PLA, because China is so disarmed - the Communists arose at a time when the supply of firearms within China was probably at it its all-time high, between the decades of warlord control, the war with Japan, and military aid arriving from all sides in WW2. And quite frankly, the KMT armies were not particularly professional or formidable adversaries, compared even with the rank-and-file of the PLA today.

Whatever place TextSecure is getting the key from could have replaced your girlfriend key with something else and be MITMing all the traffic.

The proper way to do this would be to have your girlfriend's phone display a QR code with her public key and have you scan it with your phone camera, or using NFC to transfer the public key if available.

Why do unions prefer political conflict over technological innovation?
I've done this a few times. Depending on the size/density of your data, it can be fine. If you have billions of entities and/or highly dense relations, it's not very efficient though.

I didn't use table inheritance, and I don't distinguish relationships at the query stage, so if that's core to your method you should think about it. I assume with that setup it'd be easier to take advantage of partial indexes though.

Recursive queries work but if the intermediate tables gets large it explodes fast. You can't use aggregates in the recursive function either (e.g. to count number of leaf nodes in a tree), you have to apply them at the end, in which case the intermediate table has to be large...

I've had decent experience so far with GIN indexes and @> operators on an ARRAY[] column adjacency list. In my case I stored "ancestors" so I could select by object id and get all ancestors, or use `ancestors @> ARRAY[parent_id]` to select all object ids as descendants.

Of course, if you don't need any "self" relationships, then none of the really complicated stuff matters...

Javascript size is a weird metric, and the plot is useless without context. The plot does not even state for which browser the metric was collected (or is it the repository size? That would be completely useless, as uBlock's and uBlock origin's repositories include versions for different browsers.) Because when I add the sum of all .js files in uBlock's repository, I get 1.08MB. Heck, the whole src and platform directories combined are 2.8MB, and that includes both the Chrome and the Firefox version! Can you point to a source for that plot?

Have the statistics changed since 2010? While the EFF goes on about "plaintiff-friendly" rules, it presents no link to any statistics on the win rates or settlement rates. It mentions statistics on how ED Texas rules differently on different motions, but what matters are the outcomes compared to other districts.

Even then the differences in statistics on rulings I believe can be explained by the relative sophistication of the plaintiffs who file there -- mostly patent trolls. Since trolls typically assert patents they acquire, they will go for "better" patents, and they can simply choose different patents to acquire when something like Alice comes along. Practicing entities have no such luxury and are stuck with the patents they were issued.

Lemley (the author I linked previously) and others actually have studies on these things. I'll have to dig them back up.
It's not clear to me. Give me some proof and I'll change my mind. A scientific study, a case study, a statistical analysis, anything other than theory.

Haskell's strict typing system and theoretically correctness was supposed to lead to better code as well. I used xmonad for a few years. It crashes just as much as any other window manager.

> He assumes that "science is done by people", "people are flawed", ergo "the output of science is flawed".

What's so wrong about this? It seems so obvious it should be uncontroversial. The first several dozen scientific hypotheses to explain any given phenomenon are all bound to be very very wrong. Even the big-t Theories have to be adjusted many many times before and after they start to get referred to as such.

We have no idea what's true until long after the fact. Many respected scientists of the early 1900s believed in and contributed to the science of eugenics. Scientists we still respect today for their contributions to other fields.

> Which is obviously false, like saying science done by people who speak different languages would express itself differently.

Again, why the scornful dismissal? The scientific establishment of the West differs in many ways from the establishment in the East. Not just language, but culture also produces differences. We managed to collaborate with the Soviets to do space missions, but it took an awful lot of work to do it. Medicine can have some very striking differences.
This is a result in logic, a branch of mathematics. Logic, as practiced inside mathematics, is far more advanced than what's practiced inside philosophy departments. Something like more than 95% logic professors inside philosophy departments cannot competently explain anything in logic after Godel & Tarski.

I understand most of these ensembles did fail, but I still struggle to deeply understand why? What made these fails and made other neighbourhoods or projects succeed. Even if some of the successful ones were emergent and not subject to a grand plan, I still do not see where the critical difference is other than maybe people do not like to be told how to live.

Beat procrastination with employee Internet monitoring
This principle was explicitly upheld by the Supreme Court in Heien v. North Carolina. A police officer pulled a car over because it had a broken brake light. During the stop, the police officer became suspicious that the car was carrying drugs, searched the car (with the permission of the driver) and found cocaine.

Now, as it happens it is not illegal under North Carolina state law to have a broken brake light, so the police officer had no basis to pull the man over in the first place. But the Supreme Court ruled that there are so many laws out there that a police officer cannot possibly know them all and because the police officer believed that the defendant was breaking the law in good faith, that was good enough for a traffic stop.

I have no idea what the cost to society is. I don't even know if there is a cost. Allowing people to leave bad marriages sounds like a gain to society for me. Do you know the costs?
I haven't the faintest idea how to use it besides just setting it and forgetting it. I tried digging in settings and whitelisting and whatnot but couldn't get it working.
I think that "ignorance of the law is no protection from breaking it" is desirable. Otherwise it would be on everybody's best interest not to know the law.

Of course, it is also desirable for a lay person to be able to know the full extent of the law. Maybe we should make a rule about the maximum amount of information that can be encoded in our legal system. Such as, you can only get n bits of information, for some reasonable n. Say the same amounts of bits that takes to encode Romeo and Juliet.
Once they are all used up, it would not be possible to mandate more things unless some previous mandates are removed.

We would still need codes and regulations, though, and we could assign m new bits to each of them. With the rule that no role should require one to be aware of more than k codes and regulations. For the smallest possible k.

So the cost of knowing (albeit not necessarily understanding) the law would be n + mk. Which seems sensible enough.
Partly because Google has zero style... They need to stick to software. There is no sexiness at Google. They don't invest in Graphic or Industrial designers, just engineers. Google Glass is a prime example... I would never be caught wearing something so ugly, even if it was my life support system... Speaking of life support systems, Darth Vader is a prime example of stylish, yet functional wearable tech lol!
In the context of this project which is yet to have a finalized specification I think the GPL is an ideal format. As a project it is important to have access to all of the pieces and avoiding incompatible forks of different kinds in the early stages. So for the purpose of developing a 'golden standard' prototype for FLIF, I don't think a non-GPL license would have served them better.
The author seems to have the same idea, and is considering re-licensing to MIT later on.

I don't agree with corporate apologeticism which seems to be the norm here. If a company wants get something for free, expecting it to publish source code changes is not an actually high threshold. It might be in terms of corporate politics, but in actuality it is not hard.

What about derived liquidity? A lot of liquidity in ETFs, futures, foreign exchange, dual-listed stocks and interest rate products works this way. Traders will do things like buy futures and sell correlated ETFs to hedge, buy ETFs and sell the basket of stocks it holds, and so on, as a way of making markets.

Because the markets are fast, there is less risk that their hedging product will "run away" from them before they can execute. Since the risk is low, they can make a very competitive and tight market. If they had a 100ms delay to hedge, they would need to make a bigger spread to compensate for the risk.
