Yes. You're depending on the isolation provided by the cgroups to keep root inside it's cage. It's one reason there was a problem a year or so ago with root users inside a container being able to access the kernel keyring for processes outside the container.
Plus using something language agnostic allows you to employ polyglot programming. If your data is all pickled (or Java serialized, or really anything else that's "native"), good luck using anything besides the original language.
You're attempting to imply that HSBC was an innocent party

Not quite. I said explicitly that all banks are guilty of violating AML laws, because it's impossible not to be guilty.

You then go ahead and prove my point: someone turned up with some cash, and gave an explanation of where he got it. The banker in question accepted the story and the monitor found it to be "clearly suspicious".

"Suspicious" is such a vague standard that nobody can ever comply with such laws. There will always be transactions that are debatable, grey area, or turn out to be suspicious in hindsight but weren't at the time. Your own example proves this: apparently if you ran a bank nobody would ever be able to open an account and deposit money there, which is a problem, because being able to do that is kind of the point of having banks.

The story you link to admits as such in the very next paragraph after the shrimp farmer quote:

Compliance officials who must decide whether a bank should open an account or extend a loan can face a tough job, having to make the call based on the movement of money through existing accounts or sketchy data such as local knowledge and material found online. Regulators want to see signs that compliance departments are at least flagging suspicious transactions and customers. That didn’t appear to happen in the Sinaloa matter.

Maybe people open accounts that way in this part of Mexico all the time? Heck, maybe the person who opened the account thought it was suspicious but was afraid of turning up inconveniently dead if he turned the guy down. It's very easy for Americans to sit around on their Aeron chair in nice safe Washington DC and criticise people on the front line of the drug war for not trying hard enough.

But I'm not sure I'm arguing with a reasonable person. Your response to "the banking system might collapse" is "that would hardly be a bad thing", which is a position so far out that I doubt you will ever change your mind. What's your intended alternative? Bitcoin?

That said, my focus in this thread has been on money laundering rules, not trading fraud.

You can argue that both ways.

As public sector unions appears and pay & conditions improved, the only way that NYC mass transit has been remotely sustainable has been by consolidating the Moses empire into the MTA. The tolls provide the cash flow to sustain the system.

It's impossible to self-sustain the current subways, and the perpetual near-bankruptcy of NYC throughout most of the 20th century wouldn't have allowed for subway construction at all.

Moses's genius was getting the state government to give a shit about NYC and create the authorities to bond his projects.

> HSBC was fined because it failed to follow the rules put in place to prevent money laundering.

First, failing to follow rules put in place to prevent money laundering is not itself money laundering. Just like failing to follow rules put in place to prevent traffic accidents is different than driving your car into someone.

Second, the true story is one degree removed even from what you say. A key element of the government's case against HSBC was that it classified Mexico as "standard or medium risk" when classifying it as high risk would have triggered additional controls intended to prevent money laundering: https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/legacy/2012/... (pages 7-8). The government states that HSBC "should have known Mexico was high risk" based on various publications discussing money-laundering risks in Mexico.

HSBC was not an innocent party, but it was guilty of regulatory rather than criminal violations. It failed to put country X in risk category Y; it failed to adequately staff it's AML department, etc. For those regulatory violations, it paid a fine, which was the appropriate punishment.
What difference does it make if the threat is actual violence or leaving you without an income so you end up on the street? What matters is not the particulars of the unpleasantness that awaits you if you don't accept the mafia's/corporation's offer, but the fact that the unpleasantness is a consequence of a situation that the mafia/corporation have themselves created.

I'm not aiming to bring depressed people together. I'm aiming to bring people together, depressed or not.

I think no matter who you are, going from a situation where you know no or few people who live close to you, to one where you suddenly know and have access to people who are within walking distance would make a huge difference on your life. Will that solve all of a depressed person's problems? I don't know, but I think it could go a long way towards helping them. Access, in my opinion, is the main issue here. That's what I'm working on.
That is the chicken-and-egg problem with git: to understand it well, you need to understand the lower level algorithms, because this is how git was developed in the first place. But most people will complain that it is hard to learn this low level interface, so they will always get stuck when understanding the high level operations.

It is in a sense the same with C programming. C is extremely easy to understand if you have a good grasp of machine architecture and assembly language. Everything makes sense. But if you look at it from the point of view of a high level language, you will always be amazed at why it does things in that particular way.

Chocolate, it's the newest party drug
As a Washington DC resident, I will say I've read the post since around the late 1990's. Although it's never really been a beacon of fine journalism, it was a pretty dependable paper - lately though the articles have titles that are oriented towards generating clicks rather than providing valuable journalism.

Rumor from the WaPo staff is that there is a strong emphasis on building web traffic and revenue, I assume that this is the cause for articles that are less relevant to an informed understanding of the world and more relevant to entertaining the reader's desires.

It doesn't take too much reason to imagine that if Amazon can predict and suggest products that you may enjoy (and purchase) then they will predict and suggest stories that you may enjoy (and load advertisements with them). It's part of a growing internet-wide trend to provide a constant flow of agreeable, "interesting" content that is tailed for you, as a unit of data, versus you as a human desiring a balanced view of the world (to include opinions not of your own vein).

However - I do agree that the article has not delved into this.
if whole world would work on this BI, you would buy a coffee or two for it, nothing more. every single item we purchase and consume every day would be massively more expensive. there is a reason why all the stuff is made in china.

or you want BI just for yourself, your circle or your country?

once, in star-trekish future, this might be the best choice. in current world, it just doesn't make sense apart from nice intellectual exercise on what-if topic. what about we focus all this energy and money into directly fixing things like preventing wars, education, health care for aging population etc? or are these topics not cool anymore?

Technically, Chrome refuses to work with NPAPI, which Java depends on. Unfortunately, Oracle did not deliver any alternative to run Java in some of the more secured browser-plugin architectures.
I think the difference between the Java (let's say EE) ecosystem and the NodeJS ecosystem is how you learn them. In a typical Java EE system, you have to learn a lot about the architecture, available libraries and practices before you can really start. With the NodeJS ecosystem, you can get something running in very short order - but while the education is incremental, you still will end up learning a lot of new libraries to build anything substantial. When I built a PoC copy of an existing (and complicated) system, I ended up building most of the functionality of a Java EE application server out of NodeJS components.

As an aside, don't confuse Java EE with J2EE - the new enterprise Java system is a far simpler development environment than the old (I almost gave up on enterprise Java myself before this transition).
I don't think it did, it just said 3.0.0. The website however correctly states it is beta.
> China in general has said "we don't care" about IP rights, it is only changing now because (a) they are beginning to have their own IP to protect, (b) it is a race to the bottom between local companies when NO IP is protected, and (c) you will get sued to death on products sold in developed markets that are questionable in IP usage.

Or is China now caring about IP because they have seen that it's more profitable to the innovator rather than after-the-fact-copycat.

The bigger question is whether they can become the innovator. In some instances, they have indicated they might but overall I'm not sold that they can.

Did not even think of this option, sounds interesting. I guess we should wait for the datasheet for this chip to be sure.

The one does not follow from the other. Just because it's predictable does not mean it's stable: you can modulate demand by, for example, making people jump through bureaucratic hoops or wait in long queues to get care.
I think the dispute here is that there are two different standards in play. He has time for 4-5 cycles, but Intel only has concrete plans for ~2 cycles. After that the existing die structures can't be meaningfully reduced anymore, and everything is up in the air. Maybe we get some wild, big-but-fast optical chips, maybe we get a breakdown of Moore's law.

Of course, 3d chips look fairly achievable and might eke out a few more cycles, but things will get interesting sometime before that 20 year deadline.

Concurred. I'd previously only used Rails for building out APIs to be used in combination with libraries/frameworks like React and Ember.js. I'm recently working on a full-stack Rails app that has frequent usage of "remote: true" and some JS magic for things to work "the Rails way". The Rails JS "magic" is sort of confusing/horrifying when actually working with it and I'm finding it the cause of mysterious bugs that are hard to debug. :/ Why they just didn't use AJAX for these remote forms, I don't know. But it's annoying to deal with.
You're unwilling to give constructive criticism yourself. I suspect because you know that by your standards, any negative criticism can be labeled as "mean and rude".

You've been given multiple opportunities to give positive criticism yourself. And you've refused. Your position is entirely negative.

None of these are "the true figure",

No, but they may be a good approximation. P(B|A) is not a good approximation to P(A|B) - P(A|!B), no matter how much you wish it were.

Anyway: if you showed me a study that interviewed a statistically appropriate number and distribution of bankrupt debtors and found that over 50% claimed that a high tax bill was the cause of or contributed to their bankruptcy, I'd agree that taxes probably needed to come down.

So subjective preferences matter more than objective figures (like costs in excess of $1001)? Interesting.

That's probably why people wouldn't be too likely to claim that tax (or groceries, or rent...) caused their bankruptcy - even if a person is living paycheque to paycheque,...

Yes. The person doesn't want to admit that their spendthrift ways are cause of their problems. They instead choose something that they can nominally pretend is not their fault.

I've seen this in action. I know a guy with a $100-200k/year income, gigantic home, second home, third investment property, spendthrift wife, 2 cars, and living "paycheck to paycheck". He's in serious financial trouble, hundreds of thousands in debt. He also blames unexpected medical expenses (probably under $20k) for his troubles - certainly easier than blaming himself.

You seem to be defending this claim, by saying that Warren's criteria are reasonable.

The fact an expense of 40% of your annual compensation should be easy to handle - a 10% savings rate will get you there in 4 years. Americans prefer a risky financial position in order to have high consumption. That's a choice.

I suppose it is disgraceful that so many Americans behave irresponsibly and then expect others to pick up the tab.

"The problem with liberal churches is they're small and don't grow."

Hmm I've actually been to Catholic Mass where the congregation is exclusively white haired and the local prosperity gospel rock music church where the average congregation age must have only been 25. You can guess the long term demographic result.

I'll throw out a dissenting opinion to the majority view that only non-mainline churches are possible. I met a very cool Catholic priest who had a long entertaining presentation along the lines of if you can't stand one guy on TV or can't stand one guy at your local Catholic church, that's OK because there's a billion of them and if you can't find one part per billion that offends you, you're not paying enough attention, and if you can't avoid that one part per billion, you're just complaining for fun and are not trying hard enough.
More consistent design - a lot of things that are special cases in Kotlin are just the logical combination of two orthogonal features in Scala (or Ceylon). That and the huge power of higher-kinded types - there are some language features where it's arguable whether they're worth their weight, but higher-kinded types are one where it's really clear-cut (IMO) - once you're used to them, using a language without them is like using a language without generics.

For the sake of argument I'll accept that it's maybe difficult to compare two languages in general, but in terms of Kotlin/Scala they are extremely similar languages targeting extremely similar use cases.
> We might not want to run our production database in Docker (perhaps we'll just use Amazon RDS for example), but we can spin up a clean MySQL database in no time as a Docker container for development - leaving our development machine clean and keeping everything we do controlled and repeatable.

Rails is a true example of an opinionated framework. So if you think this is the way to go, open an issue on github, bring out your ideas about how this change can help people and see if it works out.

Rails tries to set most of the best practises for you so that you don't need to make bad decisions on out-of-scope things. just focus on the actual problem. If you are well aware of how things are working and it doesn't fit you, then you can start with Sinatra or rewrite the parts that are not good in Rails.

But just saying Rails should drop JS doesn't doesn't add much unless you have a better solution.

SideShowB - since you implemented these as Java applets and as per your link want to learn more about QM, and specifically about improving learning and visualisation of QM, check out the below link.

It's a bunch of QM applets I created about 12 years ago to aid in visualising different aspects of quantum mechanics. I was a grad student at the time, and made these as part of a fellowship. Several of these were used in corresponding homework assignments and lectures for both grad and undergrad QM classes.

I decided to apply for this fellowship after an enlightening experience seeing the time evolution of Coherent States of a quantum simple harmonic oscillator.
Right. My argument is that you could fork the relevant subset of jQuery and own your own compatibility story in the event that Rails wants to push this on apps for some reason (I don't see the benefit of that).

An alternative would be to initiate a discussion with jQuery as obviously Rails isn't the only framework that's dealing with this issue. Let the jQuery guys do what they're great at, let Rails do what it does.
