It's lasted what, 20 years so far? You say it won't work forever; we can't just reproduce ourselves out of the problem (by encouraging policies the promote couples to have more children).

At some point, we will decide growth is over and isn't coming back. It feels like we're close to that point. And good! You can have a great quality of life without neverending growth.
Show HN: Phoenix 2.1 – a OS X window manager scriptable with JavaScript
This release includes some exiting new and requested features: including support for Spaces, creating timers to achieve delays or timed events and support for running Phoenix completely in the background! We also added some nice additions to the API, made various other improvements and fixed a few annoying bugs.

Phoenix is a lightweight OS X window and app manager scriptable with JavaScript. You can also easily use languages which compile to JavaScript such as CoffeeScript. Phoenix aims for efficiency and a very small footprint. If you like the idea of scripting your own window or app management toolkit with JavaScript, Phoenix is probably going to give you the things you want. With Phoenix you can bind keyboard shortcuts and system events, and use these to interact with OS X.

1.) highly customisable, write your own configuration 2.) bind keyboard shortcuts and system events to your callback functions 3.) control and interact with your screens, spaces, mouse, apps and windows 4.) log messages, deliver notifications or display messages as modals and 5.) run external commands

Take a look! https://github.com/kasper/phoenix/

What you are acknowledging, perhaps without realizing it, is that standard on-boarding marketing stuff is deliberately misleading and malicious.
I daresay you'll make enough money to make it worth your trouble. Your other comments re: making sure it goes to a good home are really commendable. The Amiga family are a bunch of neat and quirky computers from a bygone personal computer era and they're definitely worth preserving.
People already feel entitled to block traffic they don't think will kill them.

One time someone was standing in the bike lane attempting to cross a 3 lane road against the light. She seemed upset that I was going to ride my bike through the green light anyway, and told me that you have to always stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk regardless of the traffic signal. Unfortunately, pedestrians aren't allowed to enter the crosswalk except when they have a walk signal (that flashing red hand means you're not allowed to cross, though I've never seen a single person follow that rule).

As a cyclist I think we should ban both walking and driving ;)
I think that's why there's a saying about the market staying irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Agreed. And if I can make a plea to anyone who wants to comment on this thread -- please make your comment without using the words "capitalism" or "socialism" since neither word has a proper, consensus definition. Using those words will just lead to tedious flamewars with people talking past each other and rehashing old debates. Rather, talk about the underlying structure of incentives that create this dynamic, and how incentives can be changed, if they can be at all.
Is there that big a difference between inflating stock prices the way the BOJ does and depressing bond yields through "normal QE" (which amounts to buying bonds, thus inflating their prices)? Depressing bond yields distorts the market in the sense of encouraging risky investment/"risk mispricing", and then indirectly it inflates stock prices as investors' safe alternatives now yield less income.
What kind of printer? In my experience, networked printing is almost always much easier than USB.

I've had really good luck with Brother and Ricoh printers. From regular computers, network printing works very well (from Windows, Mac, and Linux), and their Android apps are also quite good (though they don't support the native Android printing subsystem, so I have to "share" files to them).
Aren't they free to do what they like with that cheap money? They can short the stock market as well as many other things. There's no requirement to long the market.

OP is saying the govt only buys which keeps underpinning the market higher.

On the other hand QE allows the market forces to do what it likes with the cash which will more easily balance.

I don't see any issue whatsoever with a car carrying around terabytes of data. That's old-think. It will never again be difficult to put startling amounts of data into devices.

And the only data that needs to be kept updated, is the local environment. The car is in one place at a time. So bandwidth should not be the issue it would seem.

There are. In fact, they were strengthened significantly quite recently, particularly in the area of online sales, and now with potentially quite serious penalties for any business that doesn't comply.

If you're interested, the main underlying EU rules are in Directive 2011/83/EU.
It has been argued that this is what happened to Detroit: the "city" is financially separate enough from the surrounding state that it collapsed when its population moved into the suburbs. Of course that process of suburbanisation changes the boundary between "urban" and "rural".

'Natural resources' at least in the UK are not so much 'financialised' as in the control of hereditary landowners. The problems experienced today are not so much the urban exploiting the rural, as the rural landowners exploiting rural tenants.

To complicate matters, sometimes the landowners are neither urban nor rural but offshore.
Thanks so much. Is there any documentation online that you know of which has more information?

The word you want in English might be 'prestidigitation'.
The fact that they quote Arthur C. Clarke saying "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" plays into this ambiguity. Most of what they're talking about here is "illusion", but I think that quote from Arthur C. Clarke is really referencing the supernatural meaning of the word "magic".

> QE and the banks buying stocks is the same thing:

No they most certainly are not. QE puts money into the economy. People can then use that money to buy stocks or short stocks, they can also use that money to do things like travel, purchase a new house or put a kid through school, etc. It can be viewed as a market neutral strategy in terms of buy vs sell pressure on the stock markets.

Now this can cause the stock market to rise through "organic" growth from increased consumption leading to increased corporate profits.

On the other hand the government buying stocks only puts pressure on the buying side of the equations, causing the market to move up.

They both may cause the markets in general to rise, but in terms of market dynamics they are not the same thing:)

The big tech companies would love that. If all researchers lived up to your standard, then there would be no vulnerability market—no bug bounties—and researchers would get paid peanuts. They'd be free labor for tech companies. "Researcher" means that you research, not that you work for free.

With the only exception that all those people are not friends per se. They are just people you know in person.

I tend to say: "People with many friends do not have friends". I'm sure it's not a fact, but more like a rule of thumb, based on my personal observation.

My wife has a talent of building connections and enlarging the network. She attracts people like a magnet and I was always fascinated about that. I once asked her: "You know all those people, but is there the one you could truly call a friend?". In a second, she realized what I was asking about and said: "No, I don't have friends..."

You might want to expand your idea with some actual details since it's not clear what you mean by e.g. “harder to configure and more opaque” or even just which alternatives you mean.

In general, I've seen developer preference for two reasons:

1. Debian & Ubuntu both share a massive collection of packages which have frequently been packaged in a manner which is amenable for automated system configuration (compare e.g. the tendency to use a combination of debconf and the preference for `.d` layouts so you don't have to modify files which will be overwritten by updates).

2. Ubuntu adds the entire PPA ecosystem which supports the very common case where people want LTS + a small number of packages which are updated more frequently.
Interesting analysis, how about news aggregation :)
I go out of my way not to step in front of a car if it is on a trajectory that would hit me. It's a "never trust the driver" mantra.

These aren't busy city streets where I'm making that choice, but I'm not getting to the point where I'm being considerate of the driver, I simply don't want to create the situation where I am dependent on their noticing me.

Regarding title and careless use in article:

SWIFT is not a system.

SWIFT is an instruction protocol tied to a network that SWIFT Alliance Access (mentioned in article) gives access to, SWIFTNet.

Without going into details of failings of SWIFT authentication, which are few, this appears to be simple phishing:

The use of malware, suggested here, seems simple:

* There are a lot of manual steps in fund transfers that are either initiated manually (submitting a paper-based payment request, or even change to a company's authorised signature list) or requiring various manifests such as letter or credit clearing.

* Malware means the typical system of checking inputs are indeed true and correct (an inputter of the paper form, and a checker to verify it is true and correct) can be disrupted by replacing the scanned file between scanning and input (based on scan) or direct system access changing key numbers of codes.

* This comment is not a slight on Bangladesh. It is a general comment on developing economies I've interacted with in banking operations across Asia: Staff are often under-trained at a branch level and expected to perform a multitude of tasks under under-trained management. Local actors, for example local banks, often have completely insecure systems compared to international banks despite acting as correspondent bank in many transactions (added to the security-failure tool-chain). This is in contrast with outsourced operations in similar countries that run large service centers and most-often do an excellent job.

This appears to be fully not an error of SWIFT, but of using (the power of) SWIFT in combination with discrete and serious errors in injecting false records in non-audited/un-auditable systems that interact with SWIFT instructions and SWIFTNet.
Yes, I think that's entirely reasonable.

Of course, you normally can't sign up for services that require payment via e-mail anyway, since no-one credible is going to ask for enough details that they can charge you through an insecure medium like e-mail.
>Recommendations for moving to another service.

I think the article understates the importance of this. As a customer, I won't be nearly as upset about a product being killed if you show me some good alternatives, so that's critical.

It is feasible and they already do it.

I don't really play games on Android, so that's the main one I can think of.

But consider all of the great games that are ported natively to Android. Several Final Fantasy games, Chrono Trigger (my personal favorite). If the keyboard mapping is solid, that could be a really big deal. I know I'm in opinion territory here, but I'm pretty excited. Your question is fair though.

I feel it might be different depending on where you live, but in Japan/France I always have a inside lock that prevents someone to unlock the door from the outside.

In Japan it was a door chain, in France you leave the key in the door and it blocks external keying. Also you'll have to pass the building gates before reaching an appartment.

Printers supporting the good ol' JetDirect protocol, where you simply fling bytes @ port 9100, almost always work easy-peasy. It can't get easier than Postscript or PCL printers, where you can print by cat file.ps | nc -w 1 192.168.0.100 9100. It's pretty hard to screw that up.

Printers using that INSANELY over complicated Web Services for Devices (WSD) seem to have a huge footprint on Windows PCs, are resource intensive, require extra running services on the PC, seem to have a hard time with multiple instances of the printer on the same network, etc.
Yep. The yen will pretty much collapse. That will coincide with the sudden return of a highly non-linear phenomenon known as general price inflation.

It's not like it hasn't happened before anywhere in the world. The exceptional thing is the enormous amount of trust that developed markets have in the central bank's technocratic policies. This trust was built up during 70 years of relatively high stability (and growing complexity and obfuscation of the monetary and financial system).

For now the BoJ still has room to abuse this trust and make a mockery of every form of market-based risk analysis, valuation and price discovery. But at some random point of time, the trust will just break. Even in Japan no amount of measures will stop the market's instinct for self-preservation as yen holders flee to other assets.

Japan is ahead of the rest of the developed world in this. The Japanese experiment will put pressure on currencies and interest rates in all other countries who are facing a variation of the same problem.

Most important: all this will happen in a country (or world) full of pensioners. Shikata ga nai.

Obviously any driverless car is not going to rely on street markings and signage alone. It's going to have sensors in all directions and see that a vehicle is headed toward the intersection at a speed which suggests it will not be able to stop in time to avoid a collision. That doesn't require some magical machine learning algorithm, and it will probably watch for this better than humans do. We tend to assume everyone else is following the rules and often don't notice when someone is about to run the stop sign and hit us.

BeautifulPeople.com Leaks Very Private Data of 1.1M 'Elite' Daters
You are talking about a vehicle that would have to carry dozens if not hundreds of terabytes of data. The boot would literally have to be filled with hard drives. If you are in the US you should be able to tell it to drive from one coast to the other, or if you are in Europe the car should be able to drive from Warsaw, Poland, to Aberdeen, Scotland. And what do you mean only local data needs to be updated? Why? Updating a "dumb" TomTom map takes hundreds of megabytes a month just for one country, and we are talking about much more complex data, not just a 2D map.
Jews do this - they have Shabbat every week, and festivals and other things where people live in a community and have to interact.

Christians also have traditional Church attendance and so do Muslims and many other faiths I'm sure. The point is, traditional life revolved around a community. Today, everyone is very individualistic in the USA. They move out and have their own place, not just the men but the women too. The grandparents live alone and then are shipped off to nursing homes while the kids are shipped off to daycares. But it wasn't always like this. In our modern society we are disconnected like never before.

This feels a lot more like an unfocused rant against social norms, than anything coherent. It also, as others have noted already, totally ignored the huge number of STEM fields which encourage or require this.
Uncontrolled intersections are a thing. Driverless cars will have to handle them as a matter of course, simply to be competent on the roads in the first place. They won't be able to simply assume that "no stop sign" means "no stop." This scenario is just an intersection which became uncontrolled through vandalism, rather than being built that way.
It isn't that nuanced; lactose intolerance is uncomfortable because there are microorganisms breaking down the lactose and releasing gas (and what not). Those studies are looking at whether bacteria that do not produce as much gas can colonize our digestive systems.

If the lactose passed through intact, it wouldn't be a problem. If enzymes weren't responsible for breaking down sucrose and there were bacteria doing it, HFCS would probably be even more popular.
