There's a lot of empirical evidence that price controls cause shortages, and the theory behind it is well understood. Wikipedia has a few examples, dating back to the Roman period: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_controls#Criticisms

There are a lot of things economists don't know, but price controls -> shortages is one of the things that is well established (the exception is when the price limit is higher than the price of the object, and thus has no effect).
This reminded me of a fascinating TED talk[1] by Vilayanur Ramachandran where he talks about three unusual neurological conditions. In particular, a case of Capgras Syndrome where the person had an injury that severed the connection between the visual processing and emotional processing parts of the brain. When he saw a loved one, he would be convinced it was an imposter because of this.

What struck me was how complex our perception of the world around us is. How the way our brains perceive reality can be so different to each other, and to actual reality. Pretty amazing.

> 99% of the time I'm not looking for things the ministry of foreign policy doesn't want me to know

The other 1% is the news that actually matters.
So, for anyone who missed this:

They talked about what they were drinking for 10 minutes. Did a poll on how to drink whiskey. He scrolled through a few pages on the Reddit App, clicked on 1 /r/aww/ link. Demo lasted all of like 30 seconds. And then they snapchatted with some fro-ed out guy for 30 minutes.

I didn't learn a single thing about the app other than it looks like a bad Reddit Blue. Gonna stick with RIF myself.
You're exactly right, except that I don't think ULA is going to have much trouble matching SpaceX's prices. They were in a monopoly situation before where they could name their own price (not really, but close enough).

I could see even ULA's pricing pendulum swing all the other way: they could start bidding for contracts at a loss, using their other business sectors to prop up the space division until they drive SpaceX out of business.

Exciting times...
So you want to say that price controls could work, but until now they always have been applied in situations where for other factors the economy was doomed anyway?
It's probably limited to some number of click throughs...
The vesting schedule at AMZN is 5% after 12 months, 15% in 24 months, and 20% for every 6 months thereafter. For me (SDE I), that works out to $2200 in year 1 and a projected $7000ish in year 2. MSFT, on the other hand, has their stock vests 25% after 12 months and 25% for every 12 thereafter.
He certainly has benefitted from government programs (and of course from the general commercial situation in the US, lots of smart people here, centuries of science and engineering, etc.)

That doesn't really speak to him being a closet authoritarian or anything, though.
The author said he needed at least 2 instances in a AZ to avoid the bug, and used that as his workaround in the mean time that Amazon works on the bug.

I will be the mature one here in hopes you understand the problem with the "bitcoin" attitude.

If you want bitcoin to succeed talk about the technology and adoption, this is a complex enough topic in of itself with many real issues. The success of bitcoin depends on this 100%.

If you want to talk about economic saviorism cut the bullshit, it has a nagtive effect on bitcoin. Putting people down you don't know is a sure sign of immaturity that will get you no where and you have exemplified what is wrong with the bitcoin community 2x in this very thread.
The article specifically says so: "It's that teens -- despite their portrayal in popular TV and movies as uninhibited and acting only on hormones -- are having less sex."
> I could see even ULA's pricing pendulum swing all the other way: they could start bidding for contracts at a loss, using their other business sectors to prop up the space division until they drive SpaceX out of business.

That would be blatantly anticompetitive dumping, by the textbook definition.

There are a lot of interesting ideas in the submissions, so I wouldn't be surprised if Pinboard is one of them. It seems like an interesting pick.

Personally, if I could only pick one, I'd pick Eat My Dust - Home testing for dangerous materials. I know there's products that do this already, but I think there's a lot more that could be done.
They were amongst top places to go before IPO, not so much nowadays (similar to Google). They are already panicking that people are sharing less and less personal information and rather posting "cat pictures". If they don't build other profitable businesses, they are one bad "redesign" away from the fate of Digg if a more reasonable competitor emerges from a new generation of enthusiastic people (which I believe it will - not everyone's goal is instant cash like in the case of Instagram, some people want to be "kings"). I don't want to give Facebook ideas, but I can envision a better social network with a more direct, end user-wanted and less obtrusive commerce opportunities for all kinds of businesses without sticking ads into people's faces or selling their private information.
> Like getting your money out of ...

If you re read my comment you can see I explicitly said getting money out of those countries, which have been infamous for capital controls.

Also - Magic Beans - accepted at 48 locations in Athens https://coinmap.org/#/map/37.99873292/23.73853683/12

Look up the ideal properties of money and you might understand the big picture better, but it may mean challenging your deeply held beliefs and not everyone is ready for that.

Sure, but it's still a DH1 level response.
> widespread availability of broadband Internet

Right; once Facebook figures out how you can make babies while you're all alone, staring at your mobile device, that rate might be reversed.
I'm no lawyer, but I think that's what they usually call "evidence". If they have evidence of what's on the drive, then he can be compelled to open it under current law.

There was a case a while back of a guy crossing a border. The LEO who inspected the laptop claims he saw CP, and somehow it was turned off before it could be preserved. In that case, they ruled that it wasn't protected by the 5th because it wasn't a search - they "knew" the evidence was there, they just couldn't access it.
Which is fine, so long as growth exceeds your debt-load. As it stands, it's one of two ways corporations should work. Either reinvest, or give out dividends... holding on to more money than your operational costs and/or shifting them to overseas subsidiaries to avoid taxes doesn't help the economy, or the communities the corporation services.

I'm okay with either disbursement or reinvestment/expansion/research. Those both grow communities/economies.
This is the model most Facebook games use. They might call credits "energy", but whatever.
The "latest builds" page shows automated builds created by docker hub, but repo owners can also manually push builds created by themselves, which seems to be the case.
Good riddance indeed. Icahn is the kind of guy who you throw a going away party for after he leaves.
Seems weird they only tangentially mention archive.org in a reference: check out the 4am collection of cracked Apple II software running in an in-browser emulator, with full descriptions of how over 680 disks were de-copy-protected. And that's just one archivist, on one system: they have scores!
That only works on a simple boards. Chess is 8x8 and feels cramped on a 4" screen. Go at 19x19 takes scrolling or zoom then click which slows down input. For a more complex board you end up being vague or spending lots of time fighting the UI.
In fact it's not a well known tax evasion scheme. The only thing well known about that, is the bogus claim that it is such.

1) Tax evasion, is not the same as tax avoidance.

2) Try putting money into a foundation, acquire the tax benefit of doing so, and then try giving it back to yourself. See what happens.

3) The Zuckerberg Chan Initiative is not a charitable foundation. It's a corporation, an LLC. Please explain how Zuckerberg will be using that to evade taxes. By law they will pay capital gains taxes upon any sale of the stock. How is that evading taxes? If they had wanted to limit taxes, they would have created a traditional foundation. The current structure gives Zuckerberg no added benefit over what he already has.
Counties where abstinence-only sex ed is common lead in teen birth rates.

It's kind of like that (public) high school in the Midessa region of West Texas, the one that had an abstinence only sex-ed policy and a chlamydia outbreak. Or Mike Pence shutting down Planned Parenthood clinics in rural Indiana which led to an HIV outbreak (and Pence having to sign a needle exchange bill to limit the spread of HIV).
I've addressed that in a few articles, posts, and comments, though nothing particularly comprehensive.

One option would be similar to how performance rights organisations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_rights_organisatio...) operate in music and broadcast based on mechanical copyrights.

Another option would be to identify who the most valuable authors, reporters, composers, performers are, and provide a stable annualised income based on this and related elements.

In the UK, broadcast taxes are paid to the BBC, which funds creatives.

The details of how specifically individuals are paid isn't so important as the fact that they are, in a manner sufficient to provide the information and media necessary for a vibrant culture and society, as well as polity.

If you look at Adam Smith's discussion of compensation for labour, he comes up with a fivefold set of factors, on top of the basic fundamental imperative that wages be sufficient to live on and raise a family.

Somewhere in there lurks at least one successful formula, I'd suspect.

(I'll see if I can't find some relevant links.)
Definitely a possibility. Do you have any info on what their actual manufacturing & launch costs are? I've heard SpaceX's current manufacturing costs are about $40M per rocket (+ fuel, transportation, launch fees, etc.), but have no idea on ULA.
Well, they wouldn't exactly put it that way in the press release.

An alternate end-game would be ULA stringing together a few contract wins, pushing SpaceX to the brink, and then ol' Elon gets a nice offer from Boeing and Lockheed...
C++11 is in a state right now where it is essentially unchallenged. It runs natively, has no garbage collection, zero cost abstractions, automatic memory management (memory leaks don't cross my mind any more) and most importantly, a hugely mature ecosystem.

C++11 on up is nothing short of revolution in systems programming. Hopefully D and Rust will be there eventually but right now no other language even comes close to the maturity of having 4 compilers you could bet your business on and just as many IDEs.
The purpose of the threat is to prevent the grounders from denying you access to your resources planetside.

In this case, they managed to run even out of petro-money. Takes some skill.
Combining the system with a distributed syndication system would disintermediate publishers from readers while preserving, if desired, the ability to compile statistics on actual readership / viewership.

Privacy and metrics.

If you think about it, this is what broadcast media already accomplish nicely.
It seems like 'buying first stage engines from Russia' will have a hard time undercutting the 'reuse the first stage entirely' strategy, no?
It's quite possible to comprehend, admire, and appreciate the labor and discoveries of renowned scientists and technologists, without sharing in the motivations and beliefs they possessed.

Science is intertwined with the accomplished legacies of hated figures whose beliefs were shaped by prejudice, yet whose works became recognized and included in established theory.

Computing fields tend to venerate their idols with a religious-like fervor, unfortunately.
Motivation to spend more free time doing two things - going to the gym and solving programming challenges.
True, but Zuckerberg also controls who is on the board...
Because young people have higher personal accomplishments to strive for that would be hindered by having children too early.

The reason some choose to enjoy food more than others have in the past might be just because they enjoy food and are willing to give up their health for the enjoyment of eating. I'd rather be obese than a teenage parent.

I have no idea why this got downvoted. This is literally what happened there.

I upvoted because it's a legit point of view that doesn't deserve to be silenced.

BUT...

Suggesting the debacle main cause is low oil prices and justifying evil with previous evil... is not quite right. My tocayo is printing money as if there is no tomorrow. Actually, at this pace, there will be no tomorrow, almost there is no today.
I like that they "decided to open up the launch contracts" which is code for "Oh we got sued and lost." :-)

This is a great move for SpaceX and while painful for ULA the results of solid competition has usually been better product from all suppliers. Let's hope that helps make for better rockets.
So you're saying it's impossible to respect a person you don't agree with? Be careful; saying that disagreement and disrespect are the same thing takes you on a very very slippery slope. Plenty of tyrants around the world justify illiberal laws and cruel policies citing such assumptions.
My belief is that advanced civilizations would naturally end up with what is effectively population control, without any actual active work towards that goal. As birth control becomes easy and prevalent, unwanted pregnancies stop happening. And it seems reasonable to me that, given greatly extended life span / effective immortality, people will naturally choose to wait longer before having children (if they have any at all) and will have relatively few children and/or will have a long duration between children. So this does pretty much amount to population control, without having any actual restriction on any given individual's ability to have children.
No, lots of things matter.

That 1% is important, and we absolutely need to make sure we have alternatives for that, but the point is that we shouldn't throw out that 99% just because it's not 100%.
Yet, SpaceX cries about getting undercut by ISRO.
Two awards of $35,000 and two of $10,000, which combined are a few months of salary to employ one of those engineers.
"And by someone, I mean Jim."
Ah, that makes sense - thanks. Looks like many (most?) of the most popular images on Docker Hub are as you say - manually-pushed builds. A part of me wishes that more of them were automated, just to have more visibility into what exactly goes into each image. I guess that's off-topic though.
Following the rules of safe sex is much easier than exercising & eating right.
SpaceX is competing with ULA for U.S. Government Agency launches but I don't think they could drive SpaceX out of the commercial launch business.
This article doesn't mention the religious communities where young people commonly marry and start having children before age 20.

A friend of mine grew up in one such fundamentalist community in rural Iowa; she married at 20, but some of her peers were already moms by that age. I wonder whether they include this type of parent in the statistics, or are they only talking about unwed mothers here?

There seem to be a lot of rural counties in the first quintile of teenage pregnancy, and I venture to guess that some of them, the ones not in large cities or general urban areas, are traditional or fundamentalist communities where teenage girls often marry.

Unfortunately, our socio-economic system (outside these specialized communities) is just not set up to accommodate pregnancy at the age when we are most fertile. It's too bad, given how many of us are delaying having children until our 30s, even 40s, and running into all sorts of issues for both the mom and the child; I have personal experience in this.

Anyway, this looks like a good trend, that kids are either finally "getting it" or else they're simply too distracted by technological toys to be fooling around like they used to!
I've forgotten what it's like to having file-level access to my music at this point...

> Sample size of one: I just started to "get fit" after 10 years of sitting on my ass.

As a contrast, I've been fit all my life (two sport college athlete, resting heart rate in the 30s) and I absolutely cannot imagine sprinting without a warmup.

GP, how fast are you? 100m time? I have never, ever seen a coach or trainer recommend anything other than a long slow warmup. As someone who has a chronic hamstring injury, warmup is crucial to any exercise that I do.
> But supporters of the model I've proposed include Richard M. Stallman of FSF and Phil Hunt of Pirate Party, UK, among others.

Those sound like great sources on how to monetize your IP effectively.

Who controls this? The Government? All media is now state sponsored is a questionable model.
The current system is vastly more invasive of reader privacy than the alternative suggested.

The publishing site, numerous third-party metrics providers, advertising providers, ISPs, and any MITM listener has access to the full metadata, at a minimum, and potentially full data.

You'd need to disintermediate via Tor (blocked or disabled by a great many sites -- Cloudflare and Google are particularly culpable here), or other means, to avoid this.

I've made a habit of using Tor extensively for a number of reasons, tab management among them (opening trivial articles in a Tor browser and having them wash out helps, very slightly, in managing my tab explosion in Firefox/Android).

If you look at the projected numbers for ULA's newer technology that isn't online yet, it still doesn't beat SpaceX's pricing. I think ULA will stick around, but it won't be because they win a price war.
The Dockerfile is displayed for the manual builds. What other visibility are you missing?
I just bought it and gave it a try. I have to say, it is not really my type of thing. After beating the boss, it just repeats, which is not really fun. I really liked the graphics and whatnot, but there was very little in ways of Replayability. It reminded me a lot of Xenon, but was basically over after the first boss. Still, great job! Hope it makes you rich.
It's not socialism, it's dictatorism. It's graftism. It's simple thievery. It's everyone's worst nightmare that your country is a madhouse that no hospital can cure. You may as well blame mothers for having children who ruined the country. But the country still has oil in the ground but not the will to use it wisely. There is still hope just no idea of how to make it happen.
> In a way, he has created his own demons.

Which is what almost always happens when you create something that is powerful and significant (and not only in the technology sector).
Do they? I'd like to read up on that.
Honestly, its just a pick one and power through. I just look at the company backing it, the stars on Github, throw in a prayer, etc.
And instead of writing MCMC samplers yourself, with probabilistic programming languages you can define a model and the language figures out how to do the sampling for you.
Completely agree. My point was that if you get your phone stolen, it's pretty much guaranteed to be a random thief who just picked it up and doesn't care about your data, so the security method makes no difference. If you actually want true security, though, TouchID is no better than (and arguably worse than) a passcode against someone who is actually after your data.
I'm curious what they intend to do once the reusable first stage program gets going and launch costs drop even further.

ULA is working on reusability of at least the engine in its vulcan rockets that will replace Atlas and Delta in 2019:

https://spaceflightnow.com/2015/04/13/ula-unveils-its-future...

the plan is for vulcan to cost about 50% of an atlas V... so about 80-100m
You dodged a $40 bullet there.
This all depends on Facebook knowing one's correct age, then?

I was thinking maybe a hacker could actually judge age by the time that one or another reflex actions took someone. That would be a whole new level.
It is certainly local as there are some school boards and states that use religiously defined criteria to define their coursework. Hence creationism debates and elected officials that believe that women can "shut that whole thing down" to avoid being pregnant.
That's sort of at odds with taking venture capital...
> The internet can act as a social lubricant of sorts which is valuable. The legacy social lubricant is alcohol.

That is a very interesting point, though I suspect we'll never actually be able to retire that legacy. If we do, I think it'll take at least a century.

Edit: honestly I think the social lubricant is actually pseudonymity, empowered by the network.
I haven't heard this before, can you provide a link?
