Well that is what they are doing, say you want to sell you stock in apple because the new iPhone is crap. Well Apple doesn't pay dividends (i think Microsoft is the only tech stock that does) so the only way anybody wants to buy is if they think the stock will go up in the future, so you need to find somebody who wants Apple stock more than they want the money. Well what if you can't find somebody right now? That is where the makers come in and buy the stock for a short while, hoping that they are then able to sell it shortly to somebody else for a profit.

I think what is confusing you is that a grocery have one price for an item and very rarely sold out, whereas as a stockmarket is more like a market: you are dealing with multiple sellers and not guaranteed to be able to find what you want and the price may depend on where you get it.
What if you could use Chrome DevTools with Mozilla Firefox?

All true. But one must try! By saying dont despair that is all I really meant, do not despair.

The people who suceeded in the past certainly tried.

Even just setting a good personal example is a step, if everyone did that the problem would be fixed, and you may inspire those around you in subtle ways.

Globally humans are facing some of the biggest threats in history, looming food and water shortages and the resultant wars (possibly nuclear)

Jared Diamond in his fantastic book 'Collapse' describes well documented examples of societies that completely collapsed in the past, and we are now globally facing many of the same set of factors that felled them. However he also presents positive examples of societies predicting serious problems and systematically taking steps to prevent them, for example the problems of deforestation in Germany and Japan were arrested and they established sustainable forestry.
This is not an either/or proposition.

We can definitely have capitalism to decide who gets what many washing machines, or laptops and so on. We do not need capitalism to decide that everyone gets enough food, shelter, healthcare, education etc.

Have socialism for the basics, and have capitalism for affluence. That way you keep efficiency without being inhumane.
In the end it depends... but you won't be convicted for circumventing the DVD and copying it to your own hardware... it'll just be the act of sharing it with a few thousand of your closest, most personal friends on the internet.

It's not "twisted" justice system.

It's totalitarian.

Using scare tactics like this is brainwashing the person in question to be in state in saying, feeling, showing something he wouldn't in the lack of these circumstances in a democratic country.

Common lisp actually has that sorta switch built-in: you can choose to have the compiler optimize for safety-checks, debugability, etc or speed. Normally that ability doesn't really matter, but if you don't know your problem domain well enough, that ability might be useful.

New York has a legal and constitutional obligation to hire enough judges, public defenders and court staff to provide speedy trials for all of the accused. "Speedy" is legally defined to mean six months. For some reason, they haven't done it, resulting in the crime against humanity that is Rikers Island. This is odd, because I can't imagine they even save money this way; imprisoning people is expensive.

Wonderful. I really like the idea of being able to deliver some interactive analysis, there's a huge amount of value I think in being able to let someone tinker a little bit with a threshold & explore things in a controlled way.

Something I particularly like is that because it works in a browser I guess I could package it up as a single HTML file if I wanted and anyone could open it, or at least hosting becomes just "put the files somewhere" rather than running a server & backend code.

I look forward to seeing how this progresses.
I'm one of those who are sensitive to cold, and no, we can't just dress up. It's about the extremities, not the rest of the body, and I can't code with gloves on. I absolutely cannot work if I feel cold, just as you can't an a room with bad air, but don't think your situation takes precedence.
The blockchain's distributed consensus algorithm manages the network tokens (e.g. Bitcoins) very well. These tokens and their corresponding transaction data are small in size. Storing large web documents in the blockchain will blow up its size and consume significant network resources. If you wanted to mitigate those effects, you could restrict publishing based the tokens you spend - e.g. you can store 4kb per "coin" - but such a system would have nowhere near the capacity to publish at the rate of the internet today.

From the Wikipedia article:

"Another study of humans exposed in 2.5 hour sessions demonstrated significant effects on cognitive abilities at concentrations as low as 0.1% (1000ppm) CO2 likely due to CO2 induced increases in cerebral blood flow."

You can easily reach .1% in a normal office. Therefore, office-environmentally conscious people install CO2 sensors ;-) Here's an example:

Hi Matt, the second link gives me a 404, but loving the honest writing in the "I'm Scared" post.
Looks like free enterprise has introduced a tax on people who fail to secure their systems against untargeted attacks and fail to make backups.

One also wonders what's the point of all NSA's "SIGINT" efforts if they can't or won't use it to catch such usually foreign actors, so maybe they also introduced an argument against mass surveillance.
I think the recruiting thesis is that all manner of folks might meet that category, but a) they don't know it b) those looking for them can't find them.

Plea bargaining should not exist. It makes a mockery of justice, turns the legal system into a marketplace where you bid for relative degrees of guilt and are rewarded for "copping a plea", and occasionally snares the innocent.

The war on drugs has clogged the system, but also our somewhat lawless and rudderless population since the early 1960s, when a generally orderly society gave way to a general contempt for authority. And the population has grown far faster than the number of courts to accommodate it.

I think the only solution is to legalize drugs and build more courts to address the remaining cases more quickly and efficiently, without throwing due process out the window.

Better education would help, too. And instill moral education in our children in the schools and at home. In the end, a more moral society will bring about a more moral justice system.
I think they're going to make an interesting tool (I tried it a few months ago and it worked fairly well), but it's impossible to make it widespread, same as Tor isn't going to be widespread. The restrictions imposed by their goals are going to make those networks less attractive than the current, regular internet. And, let's face it, few people really need to use Tor or Maelstrom.
1. It seems he really did kill someone with his bike. But it's not clear to me why this would be considered a homicide? Is this standard practice in USA?

2. For some reason, it seems common practice in USA to assume that if someone decided not to go to trial, that this means they admitted their guilt. This seems .... bizarre somehow. Perhaps 'pleading guilty' should be changed semantically to 'chose not to go to trial'?

3. It seems odd that if you are convicted of a felony that this means that you'll basically be unable to get a job for the rest of your life. How is this going to help rehabilitate people? Might as well just execute them. At least its quick. (At least, it is quick in China, which is where I live).
The attitude of American public about criminals is also not great. For example, it is appalling how common male prison rape jokes are in the US (in movies, in everyday conversations etc) - how can one joke about it, I don't understand. These jokes aren't as common in other western countries. Most people don't seem to have any compassion for criminals at all, regardless of the circumstances in which those crimes were committed. Add to this no one would hire an ex con - even a non violent one.

It is not just the powerful people, everyone's attitude needs to change towards this problem. The US has more than a fifth of world's prison population. It is a serious problem, something needs to change.

Last Look is a an issue on ForEx markets, but ForEx markets are already extremely dodgy. In many cases, your counterparty in the ForEx markets owns the exchange you are trading on. I've never encountered an equities or futures exchange that allows last look.

As for price reductions, some exchanges allow reductions, others model them as cancel + order but allow the new order to take up the priority of the old order (effectively a reduction) and still others model them as reductions, but you still lose priority (effectively a cancel and new order). That is largely immaterial though, because even if you allow reductions, if a large order hits a level it clears fully through that level before anyone can make any reductions. In fact, reductions aren't a problem, increases are because it would allow someone to sit in front of the priority queue until a level is fully cleared.

Something that did happen on some exchanges, which is closer to what you are getting at, is that on some exchanges the fill feed is less latent than the market feed. That is you would get notified that an order executed before that order was disseminated on the order book. This would allow you faster insight into the market, so people did use sentinel orders for that, but if a single order was hitting a level enough to clear it those sentinel orders wouldn't help you get out of the way on existing orders at that level, they would get filled as well. But it could be a leading indicator of multi-level sweeps. Largely that wasn't desired functionality on the exchanges side, just a by product of their architectures, but people whose job it is to understand how the exchange behaves, clearly had advantages there over those whose job is not that.
Just like the Brits could have used the cracked Enigma code to stop each and every German operation during the War, they refrained from doing so and used it only for very specific situations (in order to avoid their cover being blown).

Expect the same behavior from the NSA. They will use their power first and foremost whenever it benefits themselves, not to protect all citizens or corporations.

I don't care about content/download size ratio, I care about content (quantity and quality) in absolute size. Download speeds have progressed faster than page bloat.

Wikipedia didn't exist in 1999 (not for years, and even Slashdot was barely more than a gossip site. Good quality discussion back then was on usenet or irc. The concept of a 'mooc' was just a wet dream of some 'cypherpunks' and 'technoanarchists'. Download a manual for your microwave or car, do online banking, email anyone but your hardcore nerd friends? Forget it. Price comparison shopping, ordering something from another continent? Lol. I remember riding my bike to a local bank branch to pick up foreign currency, which I stuffed into an envelope and snailmailed. Had to ask at the counter of the post office how much the postage was, because there was no way to look that up online.

Mp3? Sort of existed, you could download song by song from geocities pages; that was before the crackdown that led to Napster even. But the "selection" was minuscule, compared to today.

Oh and back then, when you wrote a site, you chose between supporting ie or netscape, or browser sniffing and serving two versions, or sticking to yhe lowest common denominator which wasn't much, to put it mildly. Ffs people won 'best of the web' awards for html that worked on two browsers and didn't look like crap! Like obscure competitions today where you build a file that is both a pdf and a jpg! My first job, back around that time, was to 'port' a website from ie to netscape.

The more I think about, the more convinced I get - any claim that it was better in those days is just rose-colored glasses.

1. Someone died. Most DAs (district attorneys) sees this as a reason to charge people. They will charge even if it is not the case so that the shirt-storm that might come from the media does not fall into his hands - it is like district attorneys think: "It will not decide, let the jury decide and I have my hands clean: If the person was found guilty, it was the jury who did it. If not found guilty, it was also the jury - so do not blame me for the situation"

2. You really need to watch a documentary called "The Plea" (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/plea/) to get an insight on how FUCKED UP the "justice" in the USA is.

3. The media and politicians have much to blame here. If you are ever convicted of a crime (even like in the case of a plea bargain) you life is likely over because no one wants to take a chance by hiring a "convict" - Business do not want to take this kind of risk.

It's not apathy for public defender's office, it's that each one generally has dozens of cases to try to work on. Governments hate to spend money on public defense and prosecutors are happy to make their lives miserable. I find it amazing that anyone actually wants that job.

Maybe in the short run, but think about some (at the time) tiny companies like Apple, Google, Amazon that nabbed ideas or market share from sleeping giants like Xerox, Yahoo, or IBM. Sure in 1978, 2000, or 2003 I would have rather owned stocks in the second list respectively, but those small nibble guys in the first list were the winners by 2015.

I wonder if some people (or even a majority of people) just find warm, stale air comforting?

When I visit home I'm stunned by just how warm and stuffy my family home is. They keep the place air-tight, with heating on high all the time, in a not-particularly-cold part of Ireland. The people living in that house think this is wonderful, using the words "toasty" and "cozy" to describe it. I'd be more inclined to describe the air quality as "hellish" and "oppressive".

Maybe for some there is a strong emotional link between warm, stale air and a sense of homeliness?
Milgram experiment
Because it effects the entire industry and has negative effects for everybody.
I've found that traders are no more or less empathetic than any other cross section of users you might encounter in other industries. There are some trading desks that are more bro'd up than others and each trading desk has it's own culture, but the same is true of startups, which correlate pretty well with small trading desks in lots of ways.

Further, the very concept of what a "trader" is has fundamentally altered in the last 15 years. A trader is just as likely to be a physicist or hold a PhD in signals processing today as they are to be your typical "Tall Guy With Aggression issues".

I'd also point out that lots of people co-mingle different industries. Trading is not investment banking, which is not asset management. There are interesting software problems and good people working in all those fields.
1. You're offered the option to plead at the beginning of your trial. You plead guilty or not guilty, with some variations therein. If you plead guilty, you're literally saying you did the crime. The judge may or may not accept your plea and then you are either sentenced, a sentencing hearing is scheduled or a trial is scheduled.
2. If someone decides not to go to trial and the judge accepts that decision, they are literally saying they did the crime.
3. It's not so cut and dry as that. Some jobs you can't get, some jobs you can. There are surely some people who went to jail that are not the type to land jobs easily which biases the system also. As an american not having ever been to jail, I can think of 10 places in my local town I could go try and get a job at and would have a chance even with a criminal record.
4. I would rather rot in jail for 30 years and then be executed than to plead guilty to a crime I did not commit. F the system!
Bikeshedding is when leaders ignore complex & core questions to focus on trivial ones that are easier to understand. The tools that dispatchers use to handle incoming called doesn't sound like a trivial question.
It's probably good advice for any individual person / company who gets infected. Unfortunately, it's terrible advice for society in general, because the blackmailers profit from their crime and will go on to target more people.

I'd guess that the malware users are being quite clever in keeping the ransom demands (relatively) small, to make it easy to choose to pay. They then profit in scale because targetting thousands of people is simple.

Since the ransom payments are in Bit-coin, it's possible to track the payments and work out how much money the scammers are making. Some estimates put it as high as $325 million: http://www.coindesk.com/cryptowall-325-million-bitcoin-ranso...
Note that this is not an official statement, this is something that an agent at a conference:

https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2015/10/28/did-the-fbi-real... has the official statement:

what the options are for businesses that are affected and how it's up to
individual companies to decide for themselves the best way to proceed.
That is, either revert to back up systems, contact a security

> It is ok to assassinate a terrorist with a sniper

Legally ok, or morally ok in your view? Because organisations like Greenpeace have been branded terrorists in the past, and I'm quite sure the definition of "terrorist" is malleable beyond belief, especially when the government needs to explain itself for killing an individual.

Of course there may be situations where life-and-death intervention may be required (as in, sniping the person holding a bomb trigger), but I'm seriously opposed to your unqualified statement that it's ok to shoot a terrorist.
Surely more sensible advice would have been: make sure you have offline backups; but if you don't, pay the ransom.
Because we're supposed to have speedy trials. The state should have the right to hold suspects until trial, because otherwise you'd be letting potential criminals run free (and run away).
