Bernie Madoff failed to avoid jail time because he employed a ponzi scheme - a type of fraud that is is (somewhat) easily understood and has a legal precedent of being successfully prosecuted. It also has the tendency to blow up spectacularly when it unwinds, and Madoff refused to implicate anyone else in the scheme, making it easier to hand him a harsh sentence.

His main accountant and auditor Frank DiPascali, on the other hand, cooperated fully with investigators and testified at the trial of 5 other high level members of the fraud. Although he could have been given over 100 years, he received 1 year home detention and 1 year of supervised release during his final sentencing in May 2015 (6 years after pleading guilty).

So it's not really about ripping off rich people, it's more about committing fraud in a very legally and technically opaque manner, passing responsibility down the chain (LIBOR), and never EVER committing it in a manner that can be recorded or traced.

This last point is widely believed to be the reason why GS recently fired ~30 new analysts. If they were negligent enough to cheat on a test in a trackable manner (googling answers on company computers), they represented a huge potential liability to the firm.
Maybe trial by jury used to federate power, but with the current system of selecting only jurors that are "dim and pliable" as another commenter put it, I think this particular constitutional safeguard against power consolidation has been defeated.
Kudos to the Xamarin management for this strategic move.

The private area of the site does go into just about every option you could imagine - various drug combinations, creating hoods for inhaling gas, jumping off a bridge, etc.

It pretty much comes down to the amount of risk the person wants to take that their attempt is a) successful b) quick and c) painless. Most people are afraid that they'll end up in a coma or severely brain damaged. Or if it is successful, people don't want their final moments to be gory with their head in a bag, vomiting profusely, thrashing around, etc.

It may take a little while, but I'd recommend reading Living Non-Violent communication or watching Marshall Rosenberg's 3 hour video on YouTube.

One important thing to grasp is the true nature of criticism (something that goes both ways). You will find it extremely difficult to get what you want from your boss if he hears a criticism as opposed to an unmet need, while if he hears the later there are much better chances that he will see it as an opportunity that he can opt-in.
Messaging between people is a complex dynamic system. If stalkers knew their messages never got received, they'd quit sending them (and perhaps stop stalking in that way). Obsessing over the messages in sort of feeding the stalker game.
Yahoo is a content provider, unlike Facebook, which is merely a host. When you both host and produce content, you obviously need more people employed.

But then again, the author does not consider yahoo one of the most visited webpages online. or at least he seems to think it's a joke when Marisa says that yahoo is a top destination for millions of people.
Yes, the Times article does say this.

(copied from my response to a similar comment above):

But since the 1970s, a series of precise experiments by physicists are increasingly erasing doubt — alternative explanations that are referred to as loopholes — that two previously entangled particles, even if separated by the width of the universe, could instantly communicate.

There are those of us that don't want to see ads but still want to support content creators. This is potentially a win-win on that front, while an ad blocker is not.
If I were a content producer, I don't think I'd like that policy, but as a consumer, it makes the service more usable, since I know that anything I can see on the ad-supported Youtube site would be available on the paid site.

Much better than the model that cable TV uses where when I look at the channel guide I can see all of the channels, including the ones that I haven't subscribed to, and it's not until I try to watch a show on one of them that I discover that I can't see it.
you can use history api or many of the simple abstractions like page.js.

This seems like it would be the worst time to launch a competitor. You'd be saying "check out this new site, it's like YouTube but we brought back the ads".

If this new contract is actually an issue, it'll still take a little while for people to understand the downsides, and that's when you want to launch your "creator-friendly YouTube" or whatever.

Bell's theorem is the keyword you should look up[1]. If you are more a CS type than a physicist understanding the CHSH game might help.

"Lecture 20: Bell inequalities and nonlocality" from John Watrous of the University of Calgary [2] is a short and accessible introduction to the CHSH game. fizx mentioned Scott Aaronson's "Bell inequality violation finally done right" [3] which is about the same recent experiment as the NYT article but much better. It contains a concise description of the CHSH game.

I think your fear says more about you than the country. I open these links without a second thought.

EDIT: The leaks are pretty disappointing, unless you care about how many times the director ate with Alan Lovell. The real story is the fact that there were leaks at all, not the leaks themselves.
I suppose it could seem unprofessional to the company you're leaving, depending on your perspective on things. But unless you're in a very tight-knit community, exactly what your previous company thinks of you usually has no relevance to your future employment options - specifically because it's a matter of perspective whether the departure was justified or not, and whether you'd be likely to leave the new company.

If your field really is that tight-knit, then you'll have to use your best judgement. If the employer you're leaving really is that bad, then you have to trust that everyone knows it, and nobody will blame you for leaving them. They might more wonder why you hadn't heard about how they really were ahead of time. Or if you actually are uncooperative, unprofessional, or otherwise unproductive, expect that to get around too.

Is it really "easy credit"? My coworker just got done with getting a mortgage in San Mateo and it really seemed like a long drawn out processes with significant hurdles in terms of paperwork and documentation along with a requirement to put down $300k on a $1mil house.

I've been told by several people that it is significantly harder to get a mortgage today than in 2007/2008.

Perhaps he was making it harder than it really is but a mortgage is the hardest consumer credit to get.
Unfortunately I suspect this only reflects a small part of what it's like to be a woman. This doesn't cover any of the experiential disparities between men and women in the workplace, which I imagine are equally great and perhaps even more oppressive.
As a manager, if an employee of mine came to me and said "I'm burning out, what do I do?" I'd do whatever I could to help them rediscover their passion for the job they're doing.

But as an employee, I made the mistake at my last job of telling my boss that I wasn't happy. Instead of trying to help, he pushed me out the door. I'm glad to not be there any more, and my happiness levels skyrocketed, but I'll be wary in the future of telling my boss that I'm unhappy/burnt out.

It sucks.
I think the revenue sharing parts probably don't allow for unilateral changes because it affects actual businesses. Even the top creators are businesses in and of themselves, which don't want to have the way they make a living taken out from under them.
Most contracts without a specified end date or condition have some variation of that term, to allow for discontinuation of services/products, pricing changes and other issues. These terms often have some guarantee of advance notice before a change is made, but not always. Generally companies believe that their business partners/ suppliers/customers will act ethically; when your counterparty does act unethically, a contract is of little solace anyway.

A typical example of this type of contract would be a shipping contract, which usually does not guarantee pricing. Another example would be electronic components, which are well-specified, but whose mask (implementation on silicon) can be changed at any time (and notice may or may not be given).

Stealing Profits from Spammers-How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Spam
It's been my experience that this is very generally true, and you don't need the "finance" qualifier: people hate having their roles demystified to the point that they often don't even try to improve their own understanding of it.

Even if the person isn't greedy, they'll resent the loss of status that comes with, "wait, all you do is add entries on the CMS interface?" or "all you do is make the risks less obvious to auditors?"

Top of the list would be low-cost filtered API access. Much cheaper than the firehose, with commensurately less data (by keyword(s), location, etc. instead of the whole shebang.) The current pricing opacity and inability to just sign up online like you can with Parse (https://parse.com/plans) means far fewer people as customers. My understanding is that API deals are company-by-company.

You could wait for the problems to get worse to launch it, or you could offer a working platform now [if you had it] and switch to a totally-free model. As long as you have capital, burn through it to pay for everything until you have enough users. Then, after a year or two, introduce ads, or a subscription fee, or sell product placement or something.

I still don't get why product placement isn't used in place of ads. It could bring in tons of money, possibly more than ads, for the most popular youtube channels.
Agreed thats why it should make sense to buy.

> he simply introduced new words into the still-inchoate English language when none seemed to do the trick; Browne is responsible for “hallucination” and “suicide,” along with about a hundred other neologisms.

I'm having a hard time believing there wasn't a translation of the word "suicide" until 1600s. Wasn't suicide all over classical mythology? Wasn't it well known that Cato committed suicide rather than submit to Caesar? How did they describe such things?
I also found it curious that there was not even a inkling of insight into a possible Arab Spring with regard to Iran.

Of course, what Youtube shows to an annonymous viewer is the lowest denominator, most popular content; of course those will be from the super creators.

The question we should be asking, is how much of Youtube's revenue comes from the longtail of their content (and how much that longtail acts as a funnel into their service).

> For starters, many people have rigid work schedules and do not have the luxury of getting their kid to school at an arbitrary time.

Based on this statement alone you can conclude that schools function as daycare. Why can't your nanny take your kids to school? Because you likely don't have a nanny, and don't see the need for one as school is a sufficient substitute. You could also say you can't afford one but then by demanding the school operate during work hours you're passing the cost of daycare onto the school system.

Very good question that would be hard to get a solid answer to. Though if we're going to go with the lowest denominator, that's also likely going to be the people least likely to block ads, and most likely to view the same videos (likely music) over and over and over. That's just the assumptions I make about people who listen to music on youtube though and may be entirely wrong.
Richard Bookstaber makes very similar points about the financial system in 'A Demon of Our Own Design', highly recommended.

When the investment banks were partnerships, the partners had plenty of 'skin in the game', and favored stable systems. Going public took the pressure off of the leadership's individual fortunes... and stability seems to have suffered.
You are equating the encouragement of immigration with the systematic murder of a population.

I don't watch movies - but I do have a respect for beginning artists of any field. Anything that can help indie artists is a plus in my book.

One word of advice would be to move the Twitter logo away from your logo. I was mildly confused and honestly, Twitter has such a strong brand that I saw the Twitter logo before your logo.

How are you advertising? Chicken/egg is the kill or be killed of any social site - and especially one dependent on having content.

I imagine this would be quite the headtrip for a lot of people to deal with:

Adult adoption by gays and lesbians has only been quietly discussed, both in or outside the gay community, for fairly obvious reasons; there isn’t an easy way to tell your friends and family that the man or woman with whom you share a bed is, legally, your son or father, or your daughter or mother.

I am glad we legalized gay marriage.
It's a bit harder, but not significantly. (Source: both my parents are mortgage underwriters).

Getting a mortgage is not terribly difficult. Both child support and unemployment income can be used to obtain a mortgage. It really depends who is going to buy the loan. If its Fannie or Freddie (government sponsored entities), you have to meet their criteria if they're to buy the loan from you after you've made it. If you're a lending institution who is going to hold and service the loan (local banks or credit unions) you have a lot more leeway in what your criteria is.

It will also concatenate the partial files.

The one to change allowed torture techniques from a whitelist to a blacklist is scary. Its even phrased to sound like a good thing "I urge you to consider my proposal to ban the use of certain harsh interrogation techniques expressly prohibited by the Army Field Manual". And the specific prohibitions looks like a list of Iraq abuse leaked pictures checklist (pose in sexual manner, hood, using dogs, etc.), so the army is free to "invent" new inhuman techniques.

I'm sure he was a horrible boss anyway and I think for the future, if you ever need to hold on to a job for another six months or something but you're really burnt out, maybe it's be good to provide an actionable request. "I'm unhappy and burnt out and to get back to being productive I need to take two weeks off from next week and I want to change my working hours to Y for Z weeks thereafter.

Of course it's hard to think straight when you're down like that, though.
For now. Perhaps sometime soon when they need to increase ad revenue they will have two ads before the show and after. Or something else. It is a slippery slope indeed.
I think it was a bug that they have now (hopefully) fixed. The content is still there, though, in the menu to the left.

52 dollars a month. Covers most of the shows I like though. Unlike Cable this (pretty much) ad free and on demand. I think it's worth it.
Blacklist by default and whitelist what is wanted is better in almost all context. Otherwise people will always find a way to circumvent the rules to get the expected results.
