...other countries except China, the important one. North Korean products (legal plus things like drugs and counterfeit cash and weapons) are shipped overland and out through China's ports. The Chinese sell oil to North Korea at below market rates. Plus luxury items for the people in charge. If China decided to play ball the North Korean government could not survive.

Economics is a highly inbred field, which makes it very difficult to transmit cross-disciplinary information. The recent popularity of machine learning in the field might be a rare exception.

Economists only cite other economists. One of my colleagues put it this way: if you write a paper that is interesting to economists, and an economist finds it and does some follow-up work, that paper will get all the citations from economists.

The integrating separate pieces of lab equipment into one unit is reminiscent of the Bento Bio 'all in one' lab: http://www.bento.bio/bento-lab/

The bento lab looks more useful for teaching molecular biology: it has a mini-centrifuge, thermocycler for PCR, and apparatus for gel electrophoresis. The amino one looks like it only lets you culture bacteria, and track the pH/temperature/OD as you do so.

I don't really see why anyone would buy this. The sales pitches are unconvincing, and sound close to mis-selling: this is really not something I would choose to use in "domestic life" to make "bread, beer, cider or wine", and I'm skeptical the 'nightlight' makes enough light to actually function as a nightlight.
Funny how Google's name is essentially dropped into the article (and the lead) in a purely clickbait style. Guess not even MIT is immune to it.

Good luck.

Unacceptable to people who realize that in a large nation full of people with wildly different lifestyles and cultures, a level of tolerance is required so that we can all go about our business as opposed to murdering each other in the street.

This doesn't mean that you don't speak your mind, advocate for your cause, and criticize those idiots over there who are clearly wrong; it does mean that you acknowledge those idiots still should be able to earn a living and argue for their own causes, no matter how wrong they are.

Firefox has the setting "media.autoplay.enabled" for this. It mostly works, although some websites (notably Youtube) assume that autoplay succeeded and so the player acts slightly wonky, e.g. the played/paused state is backwards.

Ask HN: What is your e-commerce site of a dream?
Hi,

I was thinking about different e-commerce strategies and was wondering what is the most valuable for people on the e-commerce sites?

Can you share your point of view, what's most important for you in e-commerce? (e.g. a variety of goods, quality, price, free delivery, affiliate programs).

Why do you choose one specific online store instead of other?

I have renegotiated terms of almost all my freelance contracts. Usually, a non-compete was the main culprit. Generally, the non-competes don't come from the client, but from a mediator that wants to prevent me from bypassing them and working directly for the client, which is fair. But sometimes they're still ridiculously broad. For example: I'd already worked for a major bank, quit that project because of a new baby, and when I looked for a new project, found one at the same bank through a different recruitment agency. They wanted a non-compete on all my work for that bank. That was obviously not fair, so I got it reduced to only the department where I would be working. I'd be free to work for any other department.
> and taking half the clients with them

I think there is a big difference here between non-compete and no-poaching agreements. At least yours is tailored to a radius, but I don't know that your narrow definition of non-compete is really the same.
Definitely seems that the buyers agent offered to also act as the seller's agent and probably threw in a "we can reduce our commissions if we are on both sides of the deal" type of offer.

I had my own experience buying my first home, the new construction condo agent told me that I didn't have to have a buyer's agent and could just deal with them but the more I did my research the more I realized that my agent would be legally required to represent my best interests and could do a better job advising me on a process that might seem intimidating to a first time buyer.

I can understand why some of these sellers said "YES!" when someone knocks on their door and offers them cash that's equivalent to a lifetime's worth of savings but there is some fault to be assigned to seller's who don't do their due diligence. If someone says they'll pay cash right away to you, you have to think that perhaps you should see if there are other buyers in the market.
Neat! It's been a while since I wrote Java code. Java8 lambda syntax looks quite reasonable. I'd recommend the author to make "Getting Started" section a bit more detailed.

I think this is a somewhat unfair representation of the article, which contains rather less speculation, at least proportionately, than your post here - it does, for example, discuss what was believed, and when, about the risks of fallout.
I know. Don't even know what they were thinking.
I don't know why your first point is relevant, the marginal cost of billing is incredibly minute. The second point is interesting but calling it poaching is tendentious. No one is saying power stations, transmission lines, distribution networks, voltage support, frequency regulation, or any of the other myriad features of modern electricity grids are free. The point is how do you distribute the costs of those goods fairly (i.e. in proportion to use). Utilities are saying netmetering is unfair because it results in stranded costs that must be born by non-solar customers and I am saying that they are overestimating their stranded costs to the extent that they don't count the increase in the efficiency of their ability to serve load (because solar gen is basically already made and delivered electricity they bill for but don't have to buy). It is a really really hard question to know by how much they are overestimating stranded costs.

IMO this is about aggregate demand and the stranded cost thing is a red-herring.
Bento Bio looks pretty cool. But it also produces nothing tangible or fun. Much of molecular biology is so abstract - the mixing of particular amounts of clear liquids to get a band to show up on a gel. It's difficult to ground those abstractions into every-day tangible lessons. Making a blue paint from some sugar, water and cells is, on the other hand, a supremely tangible product. Whether it works and is actually fun and productive is another question. But it seems to be targeting a different kind of audience.

Submitters: the HN guidelines ask you not to use the original title when it is linkbait or misleading. Please change it in such cases, preferably using a subtitle or representative phrase from the article. (I couldn't find one in this case, but if anyone else does, let us know.)
Perhaps we're talking about different cases. I'm not seeing any home in the article that's priced at $1M. I was talking about the first case where the seller ends up selling to the buying agent (not their agent) who then marks it up to the real market value. The seller's agent didn't officially have any perverse financial incentives from that sale, other than the oft-cited incentive to price low and sell quick that all brokers have [0].

> just because midday rates of electricity are high, those high rates tend to subsidise the cost of running the network when rates are low

Prices should be quoted appropriately. Frankly, grid operators should be market makers, continuously quoting bids and asks they'd be happy to buy and sell power at. If the mid-day rate subsidizes the evening, maybe the latter needs to be higher.

You would need to look at the weather patterns. As it turns out there is a reasonably steady movement of atmosphere diagonally up and to the right from the gulf of California into Maine. If you have been watching this year's weather you can see it in action. What is more salient is that moist air coming up from the Gulf of California begins to condense out into rain in the plains. The transport mechanism is fairly well understood and well documented.

The Basic Workflow of Writing Unit Tests with PHPUnit
The article is mostly about game theory, which has been a staple of economics for quite a while.

That said, I would be very wary of jumping to such endeavors simply because a particular branch of mathematics appears to supply a useful vernacular for a particular economic problem. More often than not, it leads to a situation where instead of offering new perspectives on problems, you simply repeat the same Walrasian equilibrium analysis or whatever orthodoxy, but in a more pompous language.

In fact, by far the most mind-bending and mentally invigorating economists have been those who have almost no mathematical analysis whatsoever. These include, for instance, GLS Shackle and Ludwig M. Lachmann. Their entirely verbal analyses has expanded understanding of real-world economic phenomena far more than papers on game theory, I'd argue.

Mathematical economics like the Solow-Swan growth model, Cobb-Douglas production functions, Walrasian auctioneer markets and Paretian static equilibrium models have sowed great confusion and unrealistic assumptions as much as they may have enlightened. A lot of misunderstandings on economic policy originate from taking comparative statics models too literally.

That said, there might be some use of theoretical CS. I've had the impression that process algebras like Hoare's CSP for modeling concurrency can be used for some microfoundations and thought experiments. I don't think any economist has done this yet.

>Finally, he says, it may be that where the Nash equilibrium is hard to calculate, some approximation of it — where the players’ strategies are almost the best responses to their opponents’ strategies — might not be. In those cases, the approximate equilibrium could turn out to describe the behavior of real-world systems.

I often think about how death and pain affect economic decisions. Someone who is poor and must be paid next week or start to go hungry, for example, makes much different economic decisions than someone who still needs to work to eat but has a cushion -- they can go several months without pay without risking starvation hunger. Even though they are in similar danger over time periods that are not too different, the second groups act as if it is no danger at all.

So there is a time horizon dependency at the moment of decision. I wonder how the complexity of the likelihood calculation affects the falloff rate of the death or pain variable? I wonder if we are constantly making these rough approximations and have some intuitive sense of when the numbers get too fuzzy to be meaningful and at that point get ignored?

Does somebody know of any resources that may have dealt with the economics of desperation?

Odd article. Lots of interesting history in there, then the explanation is simply "Today's programming resembles design and construction of large mechanisms a lot more than word processing. The majority of women just don't find these things as interesting as men do."

Seems like the author did a lot of research then just jumped to conjecture for his conclusion.
I like. Simple, clean, the right idea.

I don't see big advantages over one of the Jax-RS libraries, though. Those libraries pack in a lot, all of which you're going to need if you build a serious app.

I think this library would be interesting if it could allow for easy swapping of a transport layer. If I could, for example, dump http for something faster with few code changes, that would be very cool.

I'm sure e.g. Ruby on Rails and Bootstrap would like some pointers on how to setup "an official governance and contribution structure" to handle their the long issue and PR lists.

> Why refuse to let other people help?

Very few if any wants to use their free time to work through an issue list like that. Someone might do it once and write a blog post about it, but unless someone does it all the time it does not help much.

Open source might be perceived as a free commodity, but like a public toilet, no one likes to cleanup and especially for free. Likewise, help in the form of P.R.s doesn't much help either unless it is aligned with the overall vision of the project. It more often than not isn't.
I think this problem is not solved yet. we have gh issues that are confortable and friendly for the developers, but is not good enough for the pms.In other way we have jira ( or others like that) that are good for pms and worst for developers. So I think who solve this problem with a good price will have a space in this market yet.

Sounds like a case for splitting the delivery cost from the generation cost. Here in Norway I can buy my electricity from an generating company but I also pay the local company for the cost of transmission plus a fixed fee for the connection. This means that the basic infrastructure gets paid for even if I use no electricity at all.
