Beyonce was born in durban, her 'mother' reveals
it works like this: Imagine you have a huge amount of money, enough to buy whole companies like Apple, Coca Cola and Walmart. you want to keep your money and even make it grow, so you're looking for good businesses to buy.

I have one company for sale at USD329 billions, it grows 50%-100% a year for now and currently generates USD3.29 billions

I have another company for sale at USD219 billions, it is shrinking at 1.4% a year and currently generates USD14.69 billions

And finally I have another company for sale at USD200 billions, it is growing/shrinking between -8% and 60% a year and generates USD7.35B

Most people prefer the second one, who makes you a good 7% return a year. the first one looks good, but will take at least 6 years to be as good as the second and the last one is so so. the companies where 1) Facebook 2) Walmart and 3) Coca cola. (we're ignoring how much assets and liabilities they have for simplicity)

And as you see, even when facebook has a promising future, we don't know if it will reach a good value/margin level as walmart. so we may agree it's overvalued at is current price.

Hope this shed some light, I'm not a trader or something, so this info is very simplistic

P.D.: this analysis is called Fundamental Analysis, you can go deeper and honestly it has worked very well in my portafolio. I bought stock in Gerdau (GGB), a brazilian steel company, because I studied as a whole business and discover it was priced very low. that was starting in November, I bought those stocks at 1.22 and recently they reached 2.44. I basically duplicated my money in 6 months. Remember stocks aren't just tickets, they are little parts of a big business.
They have data centers in Germany, ran ads in Germany, did business with German banks, and so on.

Yes, I’m pretty sure if they interact with a German customer, they are bound by German laws.

Would be a shame if their data centers were seized if they wouldn’t comply...

(I’m not sure if German courts use this technique, but it’s commonly used by US courts to force German companies to adhere to US laws, like in the many "Germans can’t sell Cuban cigarettes to Danes in Germany due to US embargo of Cuba" cases, so precedent exists.)
1. Yeah, the reason for that is that by default a GIN index doesn't support greater than or less than operators. However, you can introduce btree like functionality by using btree_gin and I believe it should start working.

2. That's (probably) occurring because the default statistics target is 100. Just increase them with:

ALTER TABLE gin_index ALTER COLUMN indexed_column SET STATISTICS 1000;

That should hopefully help with all the other issues you are seeing.

P.S. while looking at MongoDB a little further, I discovered that it doesn't support sorting by collation. This was logged as a JIRA bug in 2014, and as of yet I don't believe there is a solution.

Not only that but is there any evidence 'communists' are imprisoned or given reeducation within the last 45 years just for identifying as communists. One thing to note though. Being a practitioner of some religion / tai chi style system doesn't mean you can't also be breaking other laws which, though may seem strict or draconian, doesn't automatically mean religious persecution is a workable defense.

Yes, you're not the only one that feels what you describe.

When I first got online, I spoke more freely there than "in real life"!

This was because I was just a moniker, just some name I chose. Nobody knew where I lived, nobody knew my age, gender, height...

I could be wrong without being stupid. I could be kind without being weak. I could be right without being cruel.

I perceived a PRIVMSG as guaranteed to be truly private: Nobody would possibly see it except the recipient, the o-lines or sysadmins, and the "FBI".

(o-lines: IRC operators, each had a line in the IRC server's .conf file. These folks were personally known to the users, and networks where they abused their necessary power would dry up, so I figured they were safe.

FBI: That's what I considered to be the top surveillance power--I knew they could tap phones (or lines in general). I figured that my gaming network wasn't among their targets. Moreover, I figured that each tap was for a specific purpose, and that each one was carefully placed so as to avoid monitoring unrelated conversations... Just out of common decency. I grew up believing that, except for a few bad apples, cops are people who care about the good of society and the FBI was composed solely of super cops.)

Even if the recipient copy-n-pasted my message, nobody would accept that as proof that I'd said something. It's just text, anybody could type out a line and put my name in front.

I would talk less openly in a channel when some client I didn't recognize joined... And more openly again when it left. I really believed what it says on the box: your messages are delivered where you address them, and nowhere else.

Today, I don't text openly or make voice calls openly, except in anger.

As foolish as it is, as embarrassed as I am, I must admit that this habit frequently bleeds over into face-to-face conversations as well.

It's not that I really think anybody is listening, it's just that I'm absolutely terrified that I really am their enemy, and I've seen what they do to their enemies. It's not just that I'm strongly opposed to the means (mass surveillance) that my nation has chosen, I gotta say, I'm not thrilled about the ends, either!

If all of this is being done in the name of protecting the US American way of life... I gotta ask: Are we kind?

I'm not convinced that moores law has ended (using the processing power doubles not transistor count doubles).

We've hit the physical limits of our current processes but we haven't remotely hit the physical limits of..well physics.

It's possible that we are on the flat before the next curve starts whether that curve will reach the consumer space I don't know but at the top end of computing (supercomputers) there is still massive demand for more processing power.

Babushka – Test-Driven Sysadmin
This is very exciting as I toyed with this problem around 2000-2001. I speculated it should be easy to recognize porn because the images had recurring patterns. I made a list of a bunch of them that should at least reduce a moderator's workload. Not going into details but the best foresight I had was recognizing the Got Milk commercials would throw the classifications off. It did lol.

In any case, we just had things like fuzzy logic, SVM's, primitive ANN's, and so on. I could describe and illustrate the patterns with ease but couldn't encode them into an algorithm for the life of me. That the modern tech created in the image set some of the same exact patterns my brain spotted is pretty amazing. The researchers also have a ton of training data to better illustrate NSFW and SFW. That they're throwing in lots of SFW is very smart as it's easier to bias this topic than most.

All I can say I keep up the good work. Been neat to see an insurmountable-on-Pentium2 problem get stomped by the CNN's. I still want to see them applied more to hunting source code defects, host forensics, and intrusions.

There is nothing "accurate" at all about Terminal's colors. If you take a screenshot of the terminal next to your settings window, you'll find that the colors in the terminal don't match the ones in your preferences at all, particularly if you have a dark terminal background.

iTerm 2 doesn't do this. It's the "accurate" one. If you prefer your colors the way Terminal mangles them, you'll have to set them that way. :)

I also started reading "The Psychopath Code". It got over my expectations, so far. It may be one of the books I'll recomend to my children when the time comes. Till then, I guess it'll just make me a beter psychopath. I haven't considered to be one myself, but (unfortunatelly for others) I partially fit the psychopath profile described by you. Interestingly, I found the detailing on emotion-evolution idea to be close to one of my convictions, which I've briefly mentioned in a comment a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11496916

Hacker News is usually pretty laissez-faire, but this isn't the normal tone here.

I think one can distinguish between laissez-faire that amounts to "leave human beings to live as they will" and another concept that is "everything is permitted to the powerful". Actually IMHO it is a corruption to consider the latter to even be related to laissez-faire. However, many people conflate the two propositions, and would like the rest of us to conflate them as well.
Intel's latest Quark has gotten to 1.5ua sleep current with sram retention. That's not the best ,but that's good enough for many applications. And it's using 22nm so it may be the cost leader, by far. And that's mostly what counts in embedded.

To me the Moore's law will end where we all have a mediocre CPU at home connected to a fiber... any anytime you need to do work, or someone else, without being aware we share our CPU with eachother. Then there is no more Moore law - just one huge SPU (Sharable Processing Unit).

Taskwarrior for Android Released
Not really, I refuse to conform to the panopticon.

Apart from here I've mostly switched to using my real name online and I say whatever I want to say, I don't think it's tinfoil to be wary about the way the online world is going, post-Snowden we have proof they are doing all of the things many of us suspected but couldn't prove.

What worries me is that the disconnect between the general population and the techies who realise the way this is going seems to be growing all the time.

The recent Apple/US Gov case was a good example and while I respect Apples stance in the grand scheme of things they where putting out the hearth fire while the forest burns outside.

EDIT: Should also point out while I'm at it that I think my government is one of the most corrupt, venal and positively dystopian in the western world (I'm in the UK) and that the politicians on all sides (with a few exceptions) would do us all a favour if they jumped off the nearest bridge, scumbags of the highest order.
Just take things in in a perspective, not just based on the latest quarter news:

+1. It was difficult to scroll on my laptop, even the smallest scroll gesture I can make moved the page down more than I wanted.

I don't know why some websites hijack scroll events. What are they trying to achieve? A better scrolling experience? Almost every time, it makes it a lot more frustrating.
> We (BitKeeper folks) did our GUI interfaces in Tcl/Tk years ago because it meant we could have one gui person and get the same gui tools on Windows, Mac, Unix, and Linux. Yes, somewhat clunky (less so over the years), but as a small start up it was great not having to have a developer for each platform, both for initial coding and for ongoing maintenance.

hey, that describes my very first development job! i wrote a cross-platform tcl-based installer for a desktop application at the first company (a small startup) i ever worked for. it was really easy to write (i was literally 17 years old) and there were fairly solid libraries for doing windows-y registry-ish things and unixey install things too. one of the senior guys on the team took my code and integrated it into their cross-compiled build system and it spat out a very decent product that helped our users install the program on i think 3 or 4 different platforms (win95, linux/X, and solaris, possibly HPUX or some other weird platform). that was my very first significant contribution to any software project.

i seem to remember that at the time the shrinkwrapped installer licenses cost $10's of thousands for commercial use. it probably took about 60-80 hours of my time at $17.50 an hour... clearly a bargain.

I really object to calling all evangelical Christians supporters of the so-called prosperity gospel. Whilst there are a lot of adherents, many, many evangelical Christians consider it to be an aberration and an utter misreading of scripture.
People QE seems to be the very last thing they want to do, which I think really tells a story here.

Considering the money the government is still pumping into the market directly, I don't think people QE will have the same effect. It really depends on how it's executed though.

However the two changes required for full lightning network, segwit and checksequenceverify, are either in the process of being merged or already released and waiting for mining activation. And lightning scales waaaaaay better than any block size increase that we'd reasonably see.

> Yeah, mobile hasn't figured out a good way to take over the workspace. Some of the tablet/laptop hybrids are getting closer.

There already is a relatively mobile tablet/desktop hybrid that works pretty great for both consumption and getting work done. It's called a laptop.

> As for entertainment though, are you watching Youtube extensively on your desktop?

Yes. I have a phone, a tablet, a desktop, and a laptop. The tablet is pretty much only used for netflix and textbooks, and the phone is for travelling. The tablet is absolutely worthless for browsing, coding, writing, or gaming; and the phone is only saved by the form factor. If I had (the space for) a TV then the tablet would be a completely unjustifiable purchase.

You're probably overreacting. There's plenty of surveillance to go around, and it should concern you in an intellectual sort of way, but it should not create a visceral reaction.

In the large scheme of things, civil liberties are on the march. A century ago we did not have freedom of speech, women did not vote, sexual deviance was a criminal offense, blacks and Irish were effectively barred from participation in the live of society, trade unions were persecuted, and so on and so forth. We've made huge strides since those "good old days". People prefer to forget about all this out of shame for our past collective transgressions, but I find this is rather misguided - we should celebrate the progress being made and become emboldened by the clear success we've had so far in improving our lives.

Telecom surveillance has been around for half a century now, it does not seem to have created significant new problems. Dragnet surveillance is a somewhat new thing, I'll grant you that. It's a bit concerning that a smaller group of people end up in a position of dramatic information asymmetry. But then, machine guns, the ultimate in the power imbalance between the state and the people, have been around since a century ago, and that ought to have been terrifying back then, but it turned out not a big deal in the long run. There are lots of checks and balances in the system. Our biggest enemies are despair and indifference.

Which brings us back to you. By the looks of it, you are worrying yourself sick. Don't just sit there and ruminate, instead talk it through with a trusted friend or two (offline, of course). Ask if they think you need a beefy towline thrown your way, it helps in more ways than one.

I think this is a huge huge development because in my opinion, islets of langerhans are going to be one of the first organs to be successfully generated using stem cells and transplanted into patients, mostly because of the relative simplicity of their structure (only a handful of cell types, their fragmented nature).

Demonstrating that a allotransplant works is the first step to getting a working stem cell transplant procedure (not currently necessary for most organs because allotransplantation is already known)

Yes it's permanent. Interest rates are still super low, meaning companies can still take on debt to buy back their stock. The effect of quantitive easing remains until interest rates start going up and the Fed start buying government bonds from the banks.
