Any system that can be exploited will be. You can either blame that people who find loopholes or blame the system for allowing them to exist.

I suspect the majority of the blame goes to governments who favour extremely complex tax law. As any hacker knows the bigger the attack surface the more vulnerabilities exist.

Sadly the solution many countries are now calling for to confront the prevalence of shell companies is to add more regulations and reporting laws to identify stakeholders at the time the money is being used at the final destination. This might be effective at weeding out the bad players but further increases costs for the honest businesses and diminishes their right to privacy.

Surely there must be solutions that allows for privacy of transactions among private individuals to exist while still ensuring that appropriate taxes get paid.

Typically it's the source country that's the problem. For example, tons of money is siphoned out of African countries via "transfer mispricing" [1] which is largely a regulatory failure in those countries and tax haven middlemen. Whereas the burden of uncovering the stakeholders is largely left to the countries at the end of the chain, which face a much more complex and difficult task of uncovering the players, than it would be stopping it at the source.

Simplifying tax law at the destination country to make tax obligations explicit plus shifting costs to the source/middlemen to incentivize reducing corruption in their own regulatory systems - instead of adding more burden to honest businessmen in the destination countries. Basically focusing energy/resources onto the source countries systems rather than just blindly throwing more aid money at corrupt governments which simply fuels the siphoning. The US and other western countries should be setting an example and fixing their own tax flight issues for other countries to follow.

Not only cross platform but cross service. The real loss in messaging in general is the lack of interoperability. One thing email did get right - protocols. The messaging wold seems to have given up on this to hoard and lock in users to silo'd messaging systems - wechat, snapchat, fb messenger, etc. How powerful would it be for people to have the ability to send messages across these systems with the support of these vendors (as opposed to the Trillian like solutions of the prior decade).
I think that's my biggest question reading the article here: Has Elm been ignoring the work going on with Rx all this time?

> No, they don't behave like tabs at all.

How so? I use them as a tab equivalent. If it's open there, I consider it an "active file" and switch between them as if they were tabs. I can close them and then reopen them at a later time, like tabs. They keep track of what files I'm working on, like tabs. The only real thing I'm not seeing is the keyboard shortcuts, sure, but you consider that an "also" so I'm wondering what else you're missing from it.

Just because it's not super simple doesn't mean we should treat federation as a dead end. Sandstorm is one way for non-admins to have their own server and there's work regarding self-hosting everything. It's unsexy, it's not a money maker like a centralized messenger, but unless we want to live in a world where there's only one or two centralized messaging solutions, we as developers have to eat our own dog food and improve easy hosting and federation.

> I have found the whole Elm experience quite mindblowing; if it compiles, then it just seems to work.

My mindblowing experience was facilitated by referential transparency where I had a page of code that became half a page after extracting some functions and restructuring the code and then have that half page collapse into several lines of boring code because I realized that the functionality can be re-expressed in terms of standard functions.

It is amazing to be able to think about an entire branch of code in isolation and be able to understand it in its entirety.
That means no Internet-facing service has ever had a bug of the sort that often becomes code-injection. Or they didn't test for exploitability in the case of mitigations being bypassed. Neither one makes the claim stand up as it has hidden implication of "only two remote holes for amateurs and people ignoring mitigations."

"What really annoys me with OpenBSD is that users are expected to download the CVS source and compile it to fix problems rather than upgrade to a dot-release."

You are ego. The comment you replied to stated only a fact.
I personally use ClojureScript with type annotations from Plumatic (former Prismatic) Schema and it works really well. Obviously it's not the same as an actual typed language, but it gives me a good-enough starting point to leverage some typing information and perform some rudimentary (runtime) type checking. I also feel it's really nice as some kind of "inline documentation" to be able to see the type of your parameters (obviously this is a given benefit for statically/explicitly typed languages).
At the time this happened nothing was illegal. It was made illegal after the fact.
You might be interested in the Crystal language. It's a statically-typed, Object-oriented, Ruby inspired language. It's Ruby with types, basically.

You might also be interested in Elixir which ties in to the Erlang ecosystem, but if you are super into OOP (like me) you might find it slightly more difficult, but since you have experience with static-types, you probably know some FP stuff, and so it's not that bad.

Either way, best of luck. It takes a brave soul to fight with Rails. I've been writing Ruby for about three years now and still haven't touched Rails just because I can imagine how little fun it is to try and debug dynamic-typed web stuff. Noooooo thanks.

The simplest way to get a drowning person off you is to go down. With your arms at your sides, push up, like the reverse of when you're trying to lunge out of the water. As soon as the drowning person's head goes below water they will let go and you can come back for another attempt.

Don't punch them, it's less effective and can knock them unconscious, which can complicate the rescue.

> If it's open source, why would the majority of people pay?

We could have paid access to the repositories. Yes anyone can redistribute it, but it's cumbersome and it gives you a delay for the bugfixes, so people with the ability to pay will prefer the official method. Especially if they know they're funding open-source and if they get a good service. However, to stay legit in the OSS ecosystem we need to redistribute part of the donations.
"Log-structured file system" or "journaling file system" is often how such things are described. The notion being that the primary operation of interest is appending new data records, rather than modifying existing data.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-structured_file_system

The use of the term "log" in some contexts implies concepts like lossy, unimportant, non-durable, etc. However, in the context of log-structured file systems or journaling file systems, the sense that's intended is append-only as a primitive, atomic, consistent, durable (replicated) operation.
>He is not wearing a keffiyeh in that picture. A keffiyeh is a square scarf that is worn on the head.

A keffiyeh can also be worn around the neck (the favored way for Westerners, though also found in the M.E.) covering the face, or even wound into a turban. Wikipedia:

"The Palestinian keffiyeh is a gender-neutral chequered black and white scarf that is usually worn around the neck or head."

>Only a nut would look at that scarf and make the leap "Yasser Arafat" -> "Palestinian Liberation Organization" -> "terrorist" as you do.

Here, we are in total agreement. Menzio himself made a point of calling it his "Arafat scarf" and posted an image of himself wearing it to the Facebook discussion in order support his delusion that he was 'racially profiled' by a racist Trump supporter who was unable to distinguish mathematical notation from 'terrorist writing'.

If you are looking for a nutter, you need look no further than Menzio himself.

Capital Efficiency: RIP Good Times, Revisited
It was there before because one of the LMFDB contributors (Andrew Sutherland) is at MIT.
You two are talking about different things. They are similar but the mechanics are different. IB's example is an internalization pool where liquidity providers may post quotes and potentially fill within the NBBO when they have a desire to match/improve the quote.

The KCG and Citadel business is called wholesaling. A broker like Schwab has market orders or marketable limit orders from customers. They make an agreement with a wholesale market maker like Citadel to fill all of those orders up to a certain size possibly, within the NBBO, in exchange for a fee and some price improvement requirements.

So imagine you're Citadel. You have a stream of incoming orders that you commit to fill at the current market prices with a bit of improvement. If the order flow is small, you just sit on the delta waiting for flow in the other direction or trade out patiently on exchange to make a spread. If the flow becomes largely imbalanced, you can liquidate the delta aggressively on the public market to hedge at a very small cost. Say the NBBO is 100.50 bid 100.51 offer and you just sold 500 shares at 100.5099 and bought 2000 at 100.5001. You can dump the 1500 residual on the exchange bid or in dark pools, whatever, and all you lose is the price improvement you gave and fees, which are smaller than the spread you make on a "good" trade.

In effect, the wholesaler is cherry picking and getting a cheap option to make a spread. All the small retail trades that are easy to capture spread on get siphoned off the exchanges, and they're left with only the imbalanced toxic ones. This is good for the wholesaler, good for the retail trader (he gets a bit of price improvement and lower trading commission), bad for the exchanges, and bad for on-exchange market makers like most HFT firms.

It's arguably "fair" to price uninformed flows differently, it's very common in some markets like FX, but locking that up behind opaque pricing agreements where only a handful of firms participate isn't. Most market making firms would gladly compete to offer even more sub-penny price improvement to retail trades, and there are even a few exchange programs that tried to do this but never got much traction.
That's one of the most depressing things I've read in a while. If this is actually true, the internet has failed.

I just bought a Nissan Leaf. The decision had nothing to do with the environment, I did it for the convenience of not having to go to the gas station or get oil changes any more. After about a month, I am in love with the car. It's comfortable, amazingly quiet, and surprisingly powerful. The acceleration is better than any other car that I've driven, it's super responsive. It was also very inexpensive. I think most consumers are like me and will make the EV decision based on economics rather than environmental concerns.

I'll take a stab, but I'm basically a layperson as well, so take this with a grain of salt.

Causality would be tough to apply I think because of the quantum nature of the interaction. The object initiating the motion is quantum as well, so it's tough to say precisely when it should interact. So it's not as if the object is "anticipating" the interaction, it's that the quantum field already is interacting before our classical intuition of a non-quantum particle would say it is.

At least, I think :)

I agree and I think it's clear TPOT and similar tools, are the first generation. Genetic algorithms might be slow/costly but the concept is there with an integrated, implementable solution.

Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, two MIT economists, recently wrote a book about this, called The Second Machine Age (here: http://www.amzn.to/0393239357). We're teetering on the edge of economic shifts, and we have a lot of questions we're going to need to ask about how people will live in a world where jobs simply aren't available.

When 60% of the workforce is unemployable, either there will be massive unemployment, and the crime, poverty, and starvation associated, or there will be a massive paradigm shift in how we think about employment, money, and scarcity.

I'm hoping we get to the latter before the former.

Introducing Ozlo – Personal AI chatbot
I'm usually in VS, where tabs are dominant, but I've used just about every editor under the sun and I've started to realize tabs are a pretty horrible UI. The first time I was forced to think outside the tab was with XCode (it has them but they don't behave anywhere near the same). I despised it at first but eventually started preferring the "assistant editor" window and using tabs to separate areas of concern. I've used Vim a lot too and I used to keep trying to make it do the tab per file thing until I saw what XCode was going for and started using it more like that and have been much happier with it. In VS Code I think the working files list on the left is a far easier to read and navigate that tabs could ever be and Ctrl+Tab still works as expected. I'm hoping VS adopts some window layout ideas from VS Code and some other places too.

This assumes the bias can't change over time. This works for a coin because you're using the same coin for all flips, you just don't know the bias. This falls apart in this library because in the computer the source can be affected differently over time -- an attacker can effectively switch out your coin on every flip, rendering this whole process useless.
