Hmm ... I think you could make a stronger point if you had used the example of the brand of Islam espoused by Islamic terrorists in the US vs. Falun Gong in China. Both are religions or at least quasi-religions, both are hunted and suppressed by the state.

I think it's clear that the state in the US and China go about this task differently, and fundamentally I think it's because in the US the state recognizes rights but in China the state bestows rights.

For example, even though religious liberty is a recognized right enshrined in the constitution, it can, and is, overridden on occasion if the state has a "legitimate public concern."

In China, there is no need to dance around the issue of liberty or define what constitutes "legitimate public concern." The state can, and does, simply act.

But more practically, in the US you usually have some recourse that is built into the system of governance.

The US separates the state's powers (executive, legislative, and judicial) to allow for some recourse. So, if the executive branch makes a decision to override religious liberty in favor of what it deems to be "legitimate public concern," it has to defend its interpretation and balance of the competing rights claims in (at least) 1) the court (defending its interpretation of a law or use of executive order) and 2) the public square (else the next election cycle can oust the current party).

China, on the other hand, doesn't need to consult its citizens or worry too much about their opinion (unless it acts so egregiously that it causes violent revolt). There are no liberties unless the state gives them to you, so unwarranted imprisonment, torture, and summary execution are all permitted. Guantanamo Bay style prison/camps are the norm and the public has no recourse.
Yup overvalued. The GMO report which is about the best source I've found for this stuff had the projected 7 year return for US equities at -2%/year which is not great. https://www.gmo.com/docs/default-source/public-commentary/gm... p9
sure, but ascribing some sort of otherwordly virtue to people by virtue of their material success is. inverted Calvinism perhaps. Regardless, still taps into the weird part of the US psyche that has a Protestant work ethic that believes that everything is possible for everyone if they just work hard enough filtered through a sort of divine blessing (only this case it is dressed up in a New Age "tapping into the power of positive thinking schtick") -- in any case, it has the same outcome of blaming individuals for the structural circumstances they find themselves living in -- in one case, it is that you obviously weren't one of the chosen, in the mainstream meritocratic case, it's a more easy to digest "you just didn't work hard enough", in this case it is dressed back up with psuedo-religious trappingsabout how the universe wants you to succeed and you get back the energy you put out.

It's been said better up at the top now, but my point was exactly that: if we want to prevent this specific scenario, we need a law that says "company that does business in the US must not do Y", rather than saying "Y is illegal here, so lets sue company that does business in the US for doing Y elsewhere."
Good point. Nvidia seems like the exciting company in this regard. I have a bad feeling they're going to tumble because the latest announcements related to Pascal have focused on deep learning instead of 4K for consumers. As far as I know, they haven't even announced their consumer Pascal cards yet. The rumor I've read online is announcements in June.
Hell, I've been meaning to see that movie anyway, thanks.
> Global atoms provide a good way to confine state into a single place.

I think it's simpler to pass state as an argument to your functions instead. That's less complex and easier to test.

> Last but not least, transducers make it onto my list of things to avoid... They are incredibly complex, even brought the spawn of the devil, volatile, into the language. Just for a bit of speedup and core.async integration.

Transducers are not just for performance and core.async. They're a hugely useful tool that allows the various collection functions to be applied to sources that are not easily seq-able.

For instance, say I have some source of events, and I can register a callback to receive events. With transducers I can still use all the standard collection functions, even though there isn't an obvious collection to use them on.

> Both GS and MS (as well as other FIs) are off there highs because of all the volatility in the markets the past 6 months and worries about losses from bad energy loans.

No, they are off because they are making way less money (down 55% from a year ago!). In general volatility can be good for investment banks because it means higher trading volume. Revenue has been way down thanks to fewer deals (remember when tech companies had IPOs?) and reduced fixed income trading volume (GS revenue from fixed income trading is down 48% from a year ago).
It's kind of like Uber. Before the had the AI worked out, they were just paying people to drive all the cars.
Touche. I've also been involved in building clouds but ours was focused on customers building web-apps. Those are probably not compute bound. I can see why data processing workloads would need more CPU.
Tclkit should work, we haven't tried though. The tcl folks on #tcl on freenode might be able to help.

Tcl doesn't get enough love, the built ins and the libraries provide a pretty rich environment and then you toss in Tk and all the Tk extensions and you have something.

And now you have it all with a C like syntax, kinda cool.

"Perfectly valued" to me means that at that moment, the price reflects the actions of everyone. It includes the actions of all buyers/sellers who choose to participate and not participate, the regulators, as well as the meddlers.

My point is a pedantic one referring to the OP using the word "overvalued". The market price is never over/under valued. It is merely the market price at that moment.
Because:

1) Bluebird is orders of magnitude faster and more memory-efficient than the current V8 native promises. Better native promises performance has been promised, but we are still waiting for it.

2) Bluebird is just as much standard-compliant as are the native promises.

3) Bluebird has very useful extensions, which are not (yet?) part of the standard. You are not forced to use them, but they are still very nice to have.
My 2 year old 15" rMBP has no problems whatsoever driving an external 4K @ 60Hz monitor (over mini displayport), along with its own built in 2880x1800 display simultaneously. By "no problem" I mean low power consumption and 2% CPU/GPU idle.

Drop them an email pointing out that they're not complying with the law and ask for your expiration to be extended to the right date.

Looks like 13 of the 46 defaults were companies in Oil & Gas. In 2015 there were a total of 67 US defaults, a quarter of which were oil & gas. So if we compare year over year, it's still somewhat troublesome, but not quite "the sky is falling" territory. It will be interesting to see how companies deal with their debts accumulated as a result of large stock buyback programs and stagnant demand, though.

Why you should not write comments in your code
Laptops typically aren't considered mobile devices (if we're being pedantic). Try running mobile apps on your laptop.

No, this is during program execution. Lisps blend compile time and run time together. You always have a compiler available, so you can compile new stuff (and recompile existing stuff) in the middle of your program's execution. And compile-time typechecking occurs whenever you compile.
Not an exaggeration, unfortunately - this is what even some NATO officials have been discussing. That's why the migrant crisis is so important - it's a test and it also shows how unprepared the EU for something like this is!

I don't think anyone above said "bubble". Overvalued is a different thing markets are usually either over or undervalued and probably overvalued today. Bubbles proper are kind of rare, the last major clear one being the 2006 housing bubble. You could argue there's a bond bubble presently.

It would be interesting if they could release metrics on trading or investing activity, the way some software companies release stats about active users.

Then you could calculate revenue per trade (or something more useful along those lines) to use as a signal in these cases.

There are so many buzz words in this article I can't figure out the actual point the author is trying to make. Is it "how to spot someone who isn't homeless that's young and lives on their own and is therefore a yuppie" or "not being homeless or living with your parents is so uncool it's deserving of being called a yuppie, so down with the yuppies," or "the history of the yuppie?" All he seems to be trying to do is extend this buzzword to another buzzword that's so generic and can be applied to so many different people it means nothing.

I think a big problem with your argument is your assumption that the US government does, or even can, monitor to the same degree that China does. The amount of interconnections and peering between networks makes this near impossible in practice in the US. If they could, there would have been no need for them to try to tap directly into Google's datacenter-to-datacenter lines. The internet is a mesh, not a star. Monitoring can get far by picking the largest entities and trying to insert themselves at those points, but there's plenty of traffic that goes directly between entities that isn't monitored. This works for monitoring, because it's passive, but once we're talking about a firewall and something is blocked, traffic will just shift to routes that aren't blocked if they exist. The GFW is a firewall because they actually have control of all the routes.
If you are worried about confidential information there isn't much of a difference.
It isn't really rule of law, for sure. More like, if they don't like you, they can find something to put you in jail with. Yes, China is an authoritarian state in that way, but if they don't dislike you, they aren't going to make any special effort to control/monitor you (unlike the DPRK).

China is an authoritarian state, but it really is all about degrees...its no where near DPRK levels, just like the USA is nowhere near China's level (well, the USA is authoritarian in completely different ways, so they aren't very comparable).
Why would it be "distracted" by it?

There certainly can be a bot that pays more attention to any feature the programmer instructs it to, but to what purpose? What is the bot supposed to do with this particular stream of bits that was just promoted to its attention?

If the answer is, "stop other productive work and waste CPU cycles" that says a lot more about what "turns on" the programmer than about the program itself.

> None. For one, Safari's rendering engine has been open source from the beginning.

Well, it's not that simple. Safari's Webkit has started as a fork of KHTML, which was already open-source.

Webkit's development has been conducted for circa one year behind closed doors. Then they released it as open source. KHTML dev have been faced with the option of merging a giant patch, throw away a year's worth of work and rebase on webkit or continue on their own.

So:

1) Webkit has not been open source from the start, but from one year later

2) Webkit is open source, it's so because it's a fork of KHTML. A wild fork though, an aggressive, non-cooperative fork. Webkit effectively hijacked and killed KHTML.

3) energy efficiency is not something that only concerns the rendering engine. There is also the javascript engine, the plugins and so on. You're making it a little bit too simple there.

It would be great if the author of the post expounded on the good libraries to use. In the couple of false starts I have had with clojure I spent most of my time evaluating libraries instead of writing code.

Lateral moves, even downward ones, are part of the corporate culture at Intel. At most large companies this type of job switching at the C-level would come as a surprise, but if you read some of the stuff Andy Grove and others have written about Intel's "matrix" practices, it's not too shocking.

Basically, they believe that experience across multiple areas of the business is a good thing, and that no one should become too attached to a particular position or title.
> Me as well, I built an i5-2500K system backend 2010(ish), it's still my main home desktop

Good pick: it's still one of the faster chips around. However, it's TDP is 95W, which is fine for a desktop. Since then, Intel has been concentrating on delivering the same (or, often, much less) speed with lower TDP ratings.

These address the market need for thin, high-priced laptops -- preferably without fans -- that you can use in Starbucks.

You could "upgrade" to a new Intel Core i7-6600U that's actually slower than your i5-2500K but has a TDP of only 15W.

Not quite about that last part. Clock rates have been more or less stationary over the last decade or so. What Intel has been focusing on for some time is cache, and how to practically always have the right data in the cache at the right time. but yes, having more transistors to work with do allow them to pack more cache onto the die.
On the new MacBook the optimal resolution is actually 1152x720 but it's set to a scaled 1280x800 by default. Sneaky move by Apple there.

People don't trust the news media because they don't put enough value on this trust. It's that simple. People want to be entertained more than they want to be informed. This pushes an entertainment aspect onto every single media producer regardless of content. This is very difficult to do for news without compromising integrity and so we get what we have today.
You're right - Claiming the markets are overvalued like the unicorn bubble isn't literally saying there is a bubble, it's just implying there is.

There is most likely a corporate bond bubble, as we know from representative market signals. With the S&P 500 though, four companies are not representative signals.
Hey, while you're on, I have a quick question. I've avoided PHP in favor of more static, safe languages with small TCB's. Early on, I thought about reimplementing the runtime/libs in one or compiling it to one. Discovered Quercus PHP on Java system that claimed benefits of both. Had potential given Java gets constant bughunting and has many implementations.

What do you think of compiling PHP plus libs for app compatibility to something like Rust, Ada, or Cyclone where possible? And do you know if anyone has assessed quality/security of Quercus/Resin code in particular? Seems something like that compatible with WordPress or Airship could be quite a boost in defense of code injection at system level. Performance, too, as we saw with HipHop.
