> The housing prices don't really adjust for foreign exchange rates of a currency most of the time.

That's really not a correct statement. The drivers of currency fluctuations are absolutely going to affect the value of housing (interest rates, legal infrastructure, etc.) As a prime example, consider the housing market in Vancouver. Prices have increased significantly, in large part due to capital flight from China. As holding RMB became less attractive, buyers altered their asset allocations.

> There are forces in both directions with foreign and local buyers both being impacted in different ways.

That's tautological. Holding one currency has the opportunity cost of not holding other currencies. If EURUSD increases, then holders of EUR will benefit exactly as much as holders of USD suffer (relative to one another).
This is part of llvm trunk (upcoming 3.9 release) now: http://llvm.org/docs/CompileCudaWithLLVM.html
No, I don't have a source I can point you to. I was talking to a Audi mechanic last weekend. He told me that 2015 cars were pretty much unaffected and will likely only get a firmware tweak.

2013-2014 cars need to hold 1/2 gallon more exhaust fluid and apparently that's doable (and also new firmware).

Older cars are a bigger problem and will likely get a combination of fixes but in the end, they are going to be louder, fuel hungry cars after getting "fixed".

The oldest cars will likely get owners a buy-back offer because the depreciated value is lower than the cost to fix.
You might think that, but if you look at say the early history of cars society decided it was perfectly OK for them to kill pedestrians. As a nation we really don't care about small numbers of people being killed if we can get something from it.

Early on flying was incredibly dangerous and that hardly stopped anything. Hell, the general public gets killed at an air show and it's a non story.

Except, we didn't.
Instead, what's happened is a discussion was started on the clang and llvm mailing lists about the best way to upstream this stuff, and as those discussions have reached consensus, patches have started flowing.

See, for, example, the streamexecutor thread, etc.

Also, outside of that, they've been upstreaming the non-controversial smaller stuff that is part of this for many months now.

(Seriously, i think of all the companies you are going to complain about, you may want to look at google's interactions with clang and llvm, where we are actually one of the only folks who work completely upstream at all times, before throwing stones)

Honestly these patterns are the reason I don't subscribe,
You can't find the price.

I say this as a former editor (photo) of a college paper who grew up loving the news and knowing that journalism is a tough and important business.

This might be a reaction to The Boston Globe having trouble with the "older" paper copy version too. For those that don't know by trying to save money by switching to a cheaper deliverer; end result nobody was getting their papers. Nobody could get through on the phone lines to cancel.

I don't subscribe the NYTimes for this reason. They always say "99 a week for 4 weeks" and finding out what it costs in he future proved to be frustratingly difficult. Odd because I'd be willing to pay a buck or 2 a week.

I donate and listen to local new on my radio station which is quite good instead.
Can someone explain clearly to me how an old publication like The New Yorker continues to succeed in both print and online form without resorting to these patterns, while an old publication like the Boston Globe may be resorting to these patterns because they're failing to achieve high success? Is it just because The New Yorker has been very careful not to water down their brand? Has it always just had innately more national reach?

The Boston Globe publishes some really good long-form investigative journalism from time to time. Not always, but there are regularly some really good pieces coming out of it.
1/ I'm clearly not using duration as in bonds or portfolios.

2/ I wouldn't trust an economist's analysis of network protocols. I also don’t trust an economist when he’s talking macro.

3/ When somebody asks me, I'm happy to say that I (and many others) have been expecting depreciation and inflation for 5+ years. Being wrong for the past 5 years would still have made money because the yen has already dropped so much. But true, it’s a trickle, not a flood.

4/ Japan’s near future is not really complex. Demographics are only getting worse in the next few years; and the entire world is drowning in excess capacity. In this environment, their govt is acutely running out of its traditional funding sources.

They start borrowing from the rest of the world, but then yields will rise (further increasing their already fantastic debt servicing expense, exacerbating the problem). Or they take the easy way to (nominal) growth and pass the bill to yen holders. Which is what they've been doing since 2012.

The double digit inflation prediction will have very rapid onset once we get there.
What Happens When the Depraved Side of the Internet Is Recreated IRL
You mean slow to no growth, when inflation is taken into account. The truth of the matter is Demographics being what they are especially in places like Japan, going forward growth is impossible
Well, no excuse for something like that. That's bad. I'm wondering generally though, after it reached some maturity (let's say 2016+ Manjaro), what's the difference in security of that distro compared to something like Debian? Is a distro like Arch more secure than any other? And do you need to be a Linux guru to be "safe" as a desktop user? Or does it really not matter that much at all to the casual user? Again, I'm a layman, genuinely interested in this topic. As you might have inferred, I've recently switched from Debian to Manjaro, and Debian was my first "home" Linux.

>i dont know whats going on with your spouse, but you're assuming your experience is universal.

No, I'm merely making an informed guess that my experience is common enough.

Never heard about "not spending enough time with the family" as a thing of modern life, a.k.a "work/life balance" issue?

Here are some pointers: "According to a new study by Harvard and McGill University researchers, the United States lags far behind nearly all wealthy countries when it comes to family-oriented workplace policies such as maternity leave, paid sick days and support for breast feeding. Jody Heyman, founder of the Harvard-based Project on Global Working Families and director of McGill’s Institute for Health and Social Policy, states that, "More countries are providing the workplace protections that millions of Americans can only dream of. The U.S. has been a proud leader in adopting laws that provide for equal opportunity in the workplace, but our work/family protections are among the worst."

"As previously mentioned, Americans work approximately 47.1 hours each week; some employees work up to seventy hours. Therefore, it is safe to state that the average number of hours Americans presently work each week is the highest it has been in nearly seventy-five years."

"Fewer than half of working parents stay home when their children are sick, even though research shows that sick children recover more quickly when a parent is there. …54 percent of working women are not entitled to any paid leave for taking care of a sick child or other family members"

Although that is what is happening, I think it will take quite a while for people's investment profiles to change.

Right now there are people that think "I can't keep my money in the bank without it loosing money, let alone keep up with inflation, what am I supposed to do put it under a mattress!?"

It will be quite a while before people become corporate bond investors as commonplace (which would put money back into the economy).

In Switzerland, for example as a nation of savers, the corporate bond market has basically dried up. Because even higher risking bonds have too low yields to be attractive for the risk. (Although the Swiss National Bank hasn't prompted bank savings account interest rates to go negative.. yet).

It's not a straw-man. Look at the adoption of the low fat/high carb diet by medical professionals in america. Now compare that to the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

I don't think its necessarily as clear as you make it out.

Two private individuals donated their personal papers to a private institution, and the CIA asked, but certainly did not compel, the private institution to remove them from the public collection.

I was under the impression that attaching business return mail to another package didn't work any more - it'd obviously be an easy loophole to close.

Completely agree with the rest of the approach though. The real question is what to do with the "broadcast" flyers the post office has gotten involved in spamming. Stamp "return to sender" and stuff in blue mailbox? I don't see that employee frustration adding up to any change.
The problem is, if everyone's spending all their time frantically trying not to be a loser, no one has any time to enjoy the fruits of our success.

I use LibreOffice (mainly Calc) for personal spreadsheets and documents, but the UI is outdated. Worse than the look, I cannot use my familiar Excel keyboard shortcuts and instead have to learn new key combinations to improve my productivity (or use the mouse/trackpad and learn to slow things down). Since my use is occasional, I get surprised many a times when weird stuff happens due to my muscle memory hitting something or doing some action expecting an Excel-like result. :)

I still like LibreOffice (Calc) and the fact that it's actively developed. It's not as bad as StarOffice/OpenOffice was a long time ago, but at the same time it is a bit of a resource hog and startup times are a bit longer compared to MS Office.

I don't want the ribbon interface to be added in LibreOffice. I just want a nice modern looking UI with nice fonts and support for older MS Office (2003 style) keyboard shortcuts.

(The newer MS Office keyboard shortcuts after the advent of the ribbon are horrendous. Every new version loses some more older, quicker shortcuts.)

Yeah, but how often have you been called in the U.S., heard someone sobbing on the other end, then told by someone else that they have your family member and that they will hurt them if you don't send them money immediately? (99% of the time they have nobody and it is a phishing call, but with this information then suddenly it becomes an easier to convince people, among other things). I have answered that call. My mom has answered that call (and contacted me over another phone to make sure it was indeed a scam).

My point is that what works on the U.S. and what is considered sensitive information in the U.S. might not match what is sensitive in other societies. My mailing address and phone number are relatively public while in the U.S., but back in Mexico I would never do it that way.

So according to this author, if other people write about the pragmatic problems with getting a PhD, those articles are worthless... but he comes to the same conclusions for different (cultural) reasons, and we should listen to him?

Everybody has different goals. If your goal is simply to maximize your income, you will have a different decision making process than someone who is pursuing their interests, which will also be different than someone who is pursuing a job to pay bills, while keeping time for other interests outside of work.

Any articles written that make presumptions about your goals are going to miss the mark.
Sure - they wear different attire too.
From the english language papers I'm willing to pay for the Economist. It's high quality and there is lots of good stuff every time. It's worth of the price.

I would like to pay for more articles if there would be Netflix style subscription where I pay, say, 25 EUR per month for subscription for everything and the only thing I have to do is click.

The current subscription model where you subscribe to the whole paper for long periods of time is not the future. Neither is one where you have to register and pay $5 for articles one by one. I'm not ready to pay 2000 USD per month to subscribe to every magazine I want to read articles from and I'm not willing to pay $5 per article either.

As the theory goes some people are genetically predisposed to accumulating fat within the pancreas which causes insulin resistance. The (hypothesised) reason that the diet works is that it causes the body to use up fat from within the pancreas to the point where it begins to function again. Unfortunately the tendency remains, without continued management the pancreas will accumulate the fat again and the diabetic symptoms will return. This is borne out by the fact that a year later many of the original participants were experiencing diabetic symptoms once again.

The absolute worst thing about going to events where a bunch of people pitch is just how awful most startup ideas are. Not awful in the too-crazy-to-work sense (like Uber or AirBnB), but awful in the entering-a-crowded-market-with-a-very-timid-idea sense. Things with no reasonable path to monetization.

The opposite of pg's "frighteningly ambitious" is "unfrighteningly unambitious". There are too many startups out there that won't scare anyone - especially their founders.

No offense but you literally just ignored everything I wrote and restated the original argument, which I see all the time, which is "medical professionals don't understand diet and don't recommend the right thing," which is, frankly, bullshit.

Let me repeat: There are zero (0) medical professionals advocating for a high sugar diet. The "high carb" part of the recommended diet is meant to come from vegetables and whole grains (which contain a fair amount of fiber).

There isn't any evidence I'm aware of showing people eating a calorically balanced, low fat, high carb, low sugar, moderate fiber, micronutritionally balanced diet and having diabetes. I understand that's more complex that saying "low fat/high carb" but again, there aren't doctors out there recommending cutting out fats and subsisting on sugar. So yes, it's a complete and total straw man, but when you only consider large macronutrient groups and ignore the rest of nutrition it's easy to see why that seems ignorable.
The big mistake was in assuming a public transport system could be profitable. Almost none are. Many of the best public transport systems in the world barely scrape by and are continually at risk of collapse. The benefits to businesses, improved mental health of passengers, reduction in pollution and traffic are all external benefits to the community which are not accounted for in the transportation systems budget. Some governments recognize this and so continue to subsidize their transportation systems. Countries like the US which demand that everything be run like a corporation will continue to fail to realize any benefit removed a step of two away from this quarter's profits.

Amazing film. I had weirdly never heard of the Boston scandal, so I went in with a fresh mind.
That's something I did/do with English. I usually listen to podcasts while going to work (about 1h commute) and it's kinda difficult sometimes to "hear" what it's playing. I mean, I get distracted and suddenly I have no idea what the podcast is about. But I guess that's part of the "passive" exposure.
Thanks. Makes sense.
The Boston Globe used to be at Boston.com. They still own both now, but they have different content. I guess bostonglobe is their more serious publication, while boston.com is lighter. The strategy differentiating the two was confusing and I think it really hurt the paper.

They also weren't doing a lot of local stuff until recently. They had a decent local event listing calendar when the web was newer, but it fell by the wayside and I never went back. Even with the "Boston Pheonix's" closure I didn't go back.

I'm a local radio news listener, and Globe journalists are on the radio talking
about the articles they write. So they are getting the word out there. They seem to be trying to get back into the local game.

I encourage you to look at an actual graph of housing prices and foreign exchange rates. They really don't track each other.

Short and long term there are different and very complex with multiple feedback loops. Also, most people have home loans and houses are not currency. Further, having your currency appreciate is bad for many parts of the economy.

Sure, long term there are impacts especially with foreign investors. But it's also vary local with Las Vegas housing market tracking different things than rural Minnesota. Even as interest rates have long term impacts.
Any reason on 60 drives instead of 70 or more? At that depth, there are several OEM designs that with that many drives (70).

No 25/40gig networking?

It's nice to point out the depth issue, as older racks are shallower than the newer versions. This blocks things like the 0U PDU channels and cable management channels. That said, the newer, deeper (and more popular) racks fit everything just fine.

How tall are your racks? How many pods are you getting in there? 3ph 50A power?
From the description this sounds like a highly targeted attack on proprietary software the bank uses to manage payments.
