The first time I ever travelled to the US it was through Shannon Airport, and at the time all of the flights to the US from Dublin Airport stopped off at Shannon first.

I had no idea about the history of Shannon Airport, and I thought it was so strange that it really punched above its weight in terms of international links, traffic, and size, relative to its remote location (the closest large city is Cork).

Glad I've finally discovered the reason!

Basically it is the most influential traders from your vicinity that decides how to settle your dispute.

Being judge and stake holder, what a nice idea of the independence of the justice. Bankruptcy in our country is being fed to vultures stripping you down to the core and making money out of your misery. Business in France requires way more bigger balls than in USA.

This joke is around untouched since 500 years. 2 times older than USA constitution. And socialist and liberal alike don't want to touch that.

EDIT: France is traditionally built on big corporations. Consular justice favors the most influential companies, that are often "represented" at the national assembly or founding politics.
Not all "national" companies are equal. My great great grandfather was was shamed publicly in 1900 for having one of his employee presenting himself and him giving 5francs to the "société pour l'amitié franco allemande" and considered a dirty "fritz" working for the schleues.
Big corporations are dynasty built (like Gates fortune and other US big corporations) but the catholic french long lineage dynasties are a tad more equal than the others.

Irony part of my family was protestant and being sacked from france in 1750. They tried to come back after some persecutions, and they almost all fled to the USA after 1900. Basically my family is consistently emigrating since 350 years.

So I am too like my family before a refugee of some kind and we have a tradition to build back our fortune. But actual immigration laws are a pain in the ass in every countries for business men with nothing but "know how" and no capitals. Emigrants are more and more second rank citizens nowadays in every countries.

> make extensions on the original. use the single tape to simulate multiple tapes, one for stack(or registers), one for ram, one for rom, and another for encoding how the hardware behaves against the other tapes.

Very nice; that is surely about the best information:length ratio one could hope for! I hope you won't mind a slight clarification—obvious, I am sure, to you and to any computer scientist, but not, perhaps, to a non-specialist: this is not an extension of the original, but rather a simulation within the original of an apparently more general concept. This is important, because it means that any theoretical results about the original concept also apply to its apparent generalisation (e.g., multi-tape Turing machines still can't decide undecideable problems).

Yes, we can definitely argue about tax/cost vs. liquidity - as I mentioned in another comment, we could have different exchanges encourage different levels of liquidity (resulting in different costs of trading) - investors would then be able to choose what they prefer - liquidity or lower trading costs. To avoid adverse selection, companies could even do it on a per-stock basis (or the regulator could run per-stock experiments, and analyse the effects).

I don't know the details of HFTs in general, but to my understanding, what they do is arbitrage (orthogonal to liquidity) - basically, making sure that any simple patterns in the price are exploited (and thus reduced). Note, however, that HFTs themselves don't make money - the markets could be just as efficient if only HFTs would participate, and with any new piece of information (earnings release, news, movements of other prices) a new equilibrium would establish (best bid and best ask) without any trades happening. Trading either comes from (1) disagreement about the price - and the person who's right earns money, rightfully IMO (and if you don't want to lose money, just don't play), or (2) external circumstances (e.g. you want to buy a house => you need money => you sell your stocks), in which case HFTs are actually helping you (reducing the spread, and still earning money - e.g. a "stupid market maker" offers you 100 and then sells it for 101, earning 1, whereas the "smart HFT" offers you 100.01, and then sells it for 101, earning 0.99 - and you're better off as well).

This isn't the whole story, of course - there's probably a lot of illegal things going on (dark pools, front-running, order flow selling), and a lot of waste could be reduced (e.g. by regulators forcing HFTs to share/rent infrastructure and only compete on algorithms, or mandating everyone has the same delay to the exchange), but those are problems only if you let HFTs exist.

It depends on who gets punished. If nobody but crooked cops can be proven to have covered up a crime, then only they are punished. But like murder and possession of child pornography, knowledge of someone's criminal act legally complies the observer to turn that person in or they will be charged with conspiracy.

You can cover up one or two crimes but not all of them. Eventually things get found out. You could help someone get away with something once, but if it's ever found out, you could potentially be charged with everything your buddy is up for, go to prison, and come out broke and jobless.

I agree that it is a terrible error message. Unfortunately Microsoft doesn't take as much care with their Mac products as their Windows versions of the same, you can see this throughout the history of MS Office for Mac.

As an aside: Do error messages with only one button ("ok") hint at a design problem? I often find that if you're presenting an alert() style error, you've done something wrong before that which could be improved to provide greater user feedback (e.g. turn the "bad" item red, and add a label, etc).

I wouldn't go as far as to say that alert() style errors are NEVER the right answer, but when you find yourself using them you should re-examine if you absolutely had to. They often hint at poor or lazy design.

> Secondly, what an ignorant unhelpful error message is this?

What is it people think the word ignorant means? The sentence seems to make sense otherwise, "unhelpful error message" is fine as a stand-alone. But ignorant error message? Is the error message meant to be safe aware?
I believe you. That said it seems to vary wildly.

From what I have witnessed it even varies with type of the same stimulant from person to person, even within a family. (In a case I know all too well the recipient get tongue swelling as well as clenched jaws[0] on R XR at 40mg/day but has absolutely no issues with doses from 40 - 80 mg/day of the standard one. Oh, and the other person in this study, the brother of the first, went into spiraling weight loss at 60mg/day but prefer XR.)

Also playfulness seems to be preserved in these two cases. The best explanation I can come up with is: lowers the "interesting" threshold so that driving according to the speed limits is less intensely boring etc.

[0]: of course this can be reactions to additives of XR but they are commonly referred to as side effects of R itself.
> So it was decided to make oversized shifts UB.

Exactly the stupidity I was pointing out - why make it undefined behaviour, when you could make it implementation-defined behaviour. You might argue the effects are the same, but they aren't, of course - the first is global (the whole program is invalid), whereas the second is local (only that instruction has an unknown (but probably still deterministic) outcome, and only in specific circumstances).
The claim is that it would hurt small investors as they start out life as a non-practicing entity.

Which is really what patents are for, to give the inventor time to become a practicing entity before a large company can copy it. Just that the world doesn't work like that anymore, and patents are now abused by large companies to hurt the little guy.

> Also even accepting the idea that GWAS studies for IQ yield real and useful results (a claim most people I know in the human genetics field find highly dubious)

It's not 'highly dubious' at all, I don't know who is telling you that or why. The twin studies have told us for a century that there are a lot of intelligence genes for us to find; the family studies have told us that for a century; the GCTAs have told us for half a decade that there were a lot of SNPs for us to find; the polygenic scores from the early GWASes told us there were a lot of SNPs for us to find once sample sizes got big enough; when the sample sizes reached the hundreds of thousands, the hits started coming and many of them were on genes already associated with the brain; the hits replicated in other samples (often using different but still highly g-loaded constructs) and had predictive power within-family too; followup GWASes replicated them, and they've been shown in Swedes, Englishmen, Chinese, European-Americans, African-Americans; the phenome studies have shown that intelligence SNPs and polygenic scores predict not just other cognitive constructs (both phenotype and polygenic scores thereof) but things already correlated with phenotypic intelligence like longevity or schizophrenia; and so on. The results are about as dubious as the height GWAS results - not at all.

> This means it only works when you've got lots of cells to play with, a near-impossible task with human embryology.

We'll see what sort of yields we get; embryos also have the advantage of being small, smaller than a whole body or even an eye. I'm sure you already saw the Chinese paper... Since one gets a median of ~9 eggs from each egg extract and about half of them will be implantable, one could afford to lose a decent fraction of them in exchange for a big enough payoff, and check with sequencing.

I don't like web Java, but this is terrible for old websites. A few years ago I used the web archive to dig up a ton of old projects on genetic algorithms and fractals, which were really popular in the late 90's and early 2000's. A lot of these pages used Java apps to run simulations in the browser. Since at the time it was the most practical choice.

A few months later, I saw an HN comment that was super relevant to one of these old projects. I dug it up and linked it. However it no longer ran! It just gave a warning about not having the right security certificates or something. Which of course the developer can't fix, since it's long been abandoned.

Another example is the Intuitive Explanation of Bayes Theorem web page: http://www.yudkowsky.net/rational/bayes

This web page used some fantastic java applets to explain Bayes Theorem. A lot of people learned Bayes Theorem through this web page, and it was fairly popular at one time. But none of the applets work anymore. They used to just show a grey box in chrome, and now it's just a static image. All of the functionality could be redone in javascript, maybe. But the author has long since moved on and doesn't have js skill anyway.
I lived in Chile for a couple years too, and while I knew cool carabineros and didn't have much trouble with them myself I've seen points of view that are way different. I think every system has good and bad eggs, but sometimes the organization and system established can either discourage or encourage poor behavior to some degree.

Funny anecdote I heard in a poor part of Santiago. A guy stabbed another guy during a futbol match. When the carabineros arrived they got the victim to a hospital and everything, but then they pinned the guy to the fence and let every other player in the game give him a good punch.

Surely that's a trivial and obvious step? That's why an independent branch of cops was instituted to investigate other cops etc.

Allowing someone to come into work more than half way through the day (presumably with no way to get a concrete time from them in advance) may not be considered a "reasonable accommodation" depending on what the job is.

Even for software development it's not always reasonable.
Because that's "being soft on crime" which will lose you an election here. The propaganda machine makes it very hard to oppose the police.
It's problematic to expect relief for any but the worst abuses from FBI or indeed from any part of DoJ. They're all cops, and they're not going to be eager to police other cops. A more effective organization would be completely separate, and probably staffed by attorneys who had never served as prosecutors.
In my limited experience, the larger suburban areas are better (though far from perfect) with respect to police interaction than either cities or small towns (including rural areas).

Big cities tend to have similar problems as Chicago.
Small towns and rural areas seem to ripe for petty abuses and also generating revenue via excessive traffic stops.

It's hard to design a seal that accurately conveys the value added to a site's security by a CA, and the potential for abuse is high. A CA seal either means nothing or implies too much because having a cert from a trusted provider is just one part of what it means to be a secure website.
