Some background on Larry Summers: http://www.prosebeforehos.com/article-of-the-day/04/10/the-c...
These are quite bold, and arguably heretical statements to modern neoclassical economics:

New Keynesian models imply that stabilization policies cannot affect the average level of output over time and that the only effect policy can have is on the amplitude of economic fluctuations, not on the level of output

But Summers tries to refute that, just by saying it's absurd and giving the costanzian platitude "well I gotta do something!"

I think he makes his best point by saying:

Beginning the study of stabilization with this assumption takes away much of the motivation for doing macroeconomics.

Indeed it does Larry.

I'm wondering if email could be sold as a pay-to-play (not pay-per-email) sort of thing? We already pay our ISP, so I guess that's happening already. The only question is then, how much more would we pay for good email? SPAM-free email, with messages vetted by authentic origin.

That's a trip! I didn't consider the need for a supercomputer because I knew so little about the topic. Yet, the text file reminds me of the descriptions on solving fluid dynamics problems where they had to do intensive simulations to measure behavior of fluid in some situation. That's always advertised by supercomputer vendors. Seems molding has similar requirements.

Extra funny if that exchange between Scully and Cray happened. One of computing's more interesting synchronicities. :)

Btw, I recently found out that Cray had another company making a play in reconfigurable market. He died in a car accident but they followed through with interesting technology:

Not sure why you got downvoted for this, you are entirely right regarding the shyness of the MSM to discuss the actual state of the economy. Part of it is due to the perception of the economy creating the reality of the economy, but it's also much more in line with the government to say that things are rosy.

That's only true in a very narrow view of "moneywise efficient". If you're a company producing palm oil, burn vs. no burn is clear. If you're looking at this from a macro view and want to cost out the health implications over a widespread area, costs for direct injuries and any fire-fighting resources, costs for people displaced, and the CO2 costs to the environment, I'd love to see the math that says this is "moneywise efficient".

ROFL.
WURFL did a very similar thing as well and it felt pretty disingenuous. Consequently we ended up switching to 51Degrees.

I personally don't like the OSS bait and switch tactic either. I prefer when companies offer other products, extensions, and/or services on top of the OSS core. If the company is still major contributors they still can shape the OSS core more suited to their proprietary offerings.
Accidentally or intentionally?
I wonder if the next generation will sneer when watching circa 2015 clips of people boozing at virtually every social outing, like we do when we see old clips of people smoking everywhere.
Agreed. I don't have a problem with the campaign and hope it goes well, it just seems as if the author is a bit out of touch. The 12 hour workshop (with a relatively unknown person) for $5k and a number of other little things really add to that general feeling of malaise.
This is why I'm largely against drug liberalization. Pot and maybe MDMA sure, but everything else, probably best left illegal. I could see exceptions for psychedlics for medical use, but not the kind of thing you would buy at the corner store, but administered by a doctor.

The hysterical "legalize everything" crowd has probably set back sane drug reform for decades. I don't think these people remotely understand how addiction ruins lives and families and how hard it is to get out of it.
... or how about "none of the above".
I recall walking though an assisted living facility and hearing someone say "Please god let me die." over and over.

That's not a place I want to be.

Sure, my preference is immortality of some kind, but at some point choosing non existence seems reasonable. IMO, as soon as you decide everyone get's the right to get off the ride at some point then I think you must also leave that choice up to them.
ER doc here. I think that this is absolutely a large contributor of these mortality trends. There are so many more factors than just users turning to IV drugs / overdosing on rx meds though, and I think that's what we're just now finding out -- things like anhedonia that occurs because of neural-level changes in brain wiring due to long-term use of opioids, hyperalgesia (increased sensing of pain) from the same thing, and more and more people developing an illness script around chronic pain that they see themselves as victims of, necesitating ever-escalating doses of analgesia (whether that's in the form of opiates, opioids, alcohol, other substances) to deal with. Really, really big problem that I think we're just waking up to deal with.
Considering the CAD is so weak to the USD and there are skilled software engineers up there, wouldn't it make sense for VC's to fund Canadian startups? If you can get a software engineer at 30-50% of the price in the US with state funded healthcare ...

This is potentially a really big breakthrough if true, as Go is much harder than Chess computationally. Nobody knows about Go in the West though so don't expect any headlines.
