Whether stock markets in the rest of Europe have gone down further than those in Britain depends on how you measure them, I think. Remember that the pound's dived against the euro, so if you're comparing the UK stock market drop in pounds to the European stock market drops in euros you're not comparing like with like.

you don't seem to understand what the word literally means, and are appropriating it to further your own intellectual dishonesty. "Literally" has such an intuitive meaning and I find that your violent disinclination to conform to the norms of positive contributers to society to be deeply frustrating.

> It's not like an isolated incident, it is literally his primary rhetorical device in nearly everything he's written over the last 3 decades.

This is just hyperbole. You might have some legitimate arguments hidden in your vitriolic strawman-riddled banter, but as is, you are alienating the readers of your comments. In future, please try give your arguments a fighting chance, and not place a rod into the front wheel of your moving bicycle.

(Point of my post: I think you're nitpicking on something insignificant and dismissing the entire argument based on that.)

I've wanted a website for price spreads for ages. I keep ending up doing the math myself whenever one of these topics come up. Thanks!

In general, people have no idea that the retail price is 4-10 times the price for the underlying farm price. While shipping and processing take up some of the price, the limited data that I could find is that distributors are the ones taking all the profit. If you cut out a few distributors you can easily cut the price of certain goods in half. I'm guessing this is what most of these ethnic supermarkets are doing.

I'm really hoping that with the age of the internet farmers' groups will form groups that sell more or less directly to the customer and see some profit for themselves (which they can ultimately use to improve production practices).

For an example of how badly farmers are getting squeezed: http://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/price-spreads-from-far...

You can see that the retail price has nearly doubled while the production price has only gone up by 30% since 1999. Some random inflation calculators on the internet tell me that since 1999 inflation has gone up 44% so the real price going to the farmers has dropped considerably.

Of all the economic issues I'm worried about, this ranks at the very top.

And Rebol, not being lispy by the standards of few/some/many, is insane with macros from what I gather. Someone posted Red, a Rebol analogue that is an open source attempt to duplicate its expressiveness out of admiration.

I am confused though because this is says macros are not there. I obviously don't use it, but the last HN thread about it made it sound crazy.

We released a tool, xo, that generates safe and idiomatic Go code from a database schema that does not make any use of an ORM.

It's a fair point, but it wouldn't take _millions_ of them to change the result. "Leave" won by about 1.3 million votes (about 4% of the approximately 35 million votes cast).

So if there's 700k people who voted "Leave" but wouldn't have if they knew it would win...

I'd like to think that's still too many, but I don't know.
Just to be clear in case someone thinks this is exaggerated:

> “We will be insisting that Cornwall receives investment equal to that provided by the EU programme which has averaged £60m per year over the last ten years.”

This actually feels a lot like localization -- unrolling all the ifs is actually the best way to do it. It feels like you're repeating yourself, but having the whole sentence / query together as one unit gives you the ability to understand the whole context -- often times in a database context, you can omit parts that are useless if you get the full context.

There really isn't enough to go on to say that there were a lot of such people (beyond, like, "some" idiots). Have they based this on actual polling? It is probably more relevant to note which promises the Leave campaign pushed forward, and which promises are being withdrawn only a few days after the referendum (e.g. this bit from Newsnight by Daniel Hannan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5jTRoySFfo). Then you could argue that people voted for a different thing that wasn't real. The whole "I didn't think my vote would matter" crowd might turn out to be kind of irrelevant, more like a curiosity.

You can't _register_ copyright. You automatically receive it with the creation of a new original work.

You can't provide it to the public domain. You can, if you have copyright on the work, publish it under a license which permits others the freedom to re-use it. The work is still copyright protected though.

The existence of copyrights on these photographs was the subject of the trial: Can these photographs be considered new (derivative) works? If so the author of the photos ―the museum― owns the copyright. If not the photos are protected by the same copyright as the paintings, although the paintings fell into the public domain as the original author has died more than 70 years ago.

If you make a 3d-model of an object which is still protected under copyright it's for a judge to decide whether you've infringed on that copyright or created a derivative work.

That's all, of course, completely separate from trademarks.

I don't think I missed that at all - I said it's mainly about high volumes, low margins, and intense competition (for example, I'd imagine the rents are actually pretty high).

I'm sure the vendors in Chinatown want the prices to be high too. It's just that, unlike Safeway/Vons/Pavilions, they have dozens of competitors within walking distance.

ANKOS is sometimes painful to read for Wolfram's incessant self-aggrandising, and it is also frustratingly unstructured in parts. Nonetheless, many of the digressions are thought provoking in ways that you won't really find in any other book. Further, it is mostly non-technical and informal, so it can serve well as a very broad introduction to some of the curious corners of cellular automata research.

And OpenOffice rejoiced.
Primality tests are effectively brute force computations, if your adversary has considerably more compute power than you they could calculate values that you would not be able to identify as being composite.

For example SSH-Keygen uses the Miller-Rabin[0] test on the moduli and depending on the bit size if your number and the number of rounds you get a probability of how likely it is that the number is prime or not, but effectively there is never a guarantee because of the size of the numbers in question.

The likelihood of an adversary being able to compute a value that you would consider to be prime but infact it would not be is directly tied to the size of the number, the method of verification you are using, and how much resources you are spending to evaluate that number.

Given an adversary that in all likelihood completely outclasses you in computational capacity, and is also likely to be able to develop more efficient algorithms than those available to you there is a pretty good chance that they will able to backdoor you every time without you having an effective counter measure or the ability to detect it if they choose to do so.

Why Britain Left
They appear to operate at scale but they dont, at least not when compared to the major national chains. El Super has 40 stores in California and a few hundred more in Latin America whereas Safeway and Kroger have about 2500 stores each, in a market that is more picky about the appearance of produce and other factors not relevant to most other markets.

El Super, Superior, Superking, etc also source their products differently and there can be huge variation between stores depending on the neighborhood socioeconomics.l
What django gave us out of the box would have been impossible with SQL in the same timeframe with the resources we had. If we had the luxury to do things properly and fully the first time, we never would have made it to market with our robots.

This isn't to say that one day we won't throw away django or use more SQL. We just had real world schedules to deal with.

> A lot of things people use ORMs for are rather easily solved with stored procedures

More like 1 thing. ORMs are meant to make interfacing through the object/relational impedance mismatch easier and through the regular code in your application. Stored procedures do not come anywhere close to this and are usually the same as just calling any other SQL query as you would when not using an ORM.

If you think any majority of what an ORM is used for can be replaced by stored procedures, then you're not really using an ORM for much at all.

Little Snitch[1] does a very good job of preventing this sort of attack. Even if they give names to the servers that make me think they're something I want to allow, the time I spend clicking the "Allow" button is well outside the margin of error of the latency measurements. I'm in NYC and the tool places me in Frankfort, Germany.

Interestingly - I have that CD (2-disc set) from way back in 1984 when it was first released (on the Harvest label in Europe), and it sounds like rubbish. In the early days of CDs the labels were dumping any title they thought would sell onto poly-carbonate, and didn't care much about cleaning it up. There were stories of CDs that still had the RIAA equalization curve (from LPs) still on them.

I'd love to get the Mobile Fidelity pressing, but they were a limited release and is now selling for over $200.

Delay component of the round trip time contains sum of:
1. delays in buffer queue
2. serialization delays
3. processing delays
4. propagation delays
While propagation delay usually makes up the largest portion, it is not always the case. Furthermore, the routing efficiency varies widely, depending on IX peering and INET upstream arrangements of your ISP. It also helps to know the topology of the underlying physical networks, or at least major POPs.

This is like measuring intensity of the Sun with the naked eye.

I assume you're being down voted for suggesting that recklessly risking the well-being and rights of pretty much everyone in the country, and tanking the economy, in pursuit of personal gain, and telling lie after lie to do it, is treasonous.

The fact that this aspect isn't being touched on by most MPs, and all sides are pressing on with "the people have spoken", even though it's clear that many of the people were completely deceived, suggests that the MPs don't regard outright lying as a big deal. After all, if politicians were held to their word by anything more than an occasional general election (mostly decided by identity politics) then where would they be?
Mm, I think serendipitous evolution may explain but does not justify layer violations. In this case, it's not just engineering aesthetics but a real practical pain: buttons in lay people's hands == more problems. [People getting angry at tech and then mic is off at live events is practically a trope!]

Arguably compression wars and other such things are also a layer violation: sound engineers can guess at but not be sure of listeners' equipment. With computer and audio (or anywhere engineering, business, and less educated users meet), optimizing against presumptions is a common source of layer violations.

I'm confused.

Does this merely mean that if I take a photo of something in the public domain, I hold the copyright on that particular reproduction?

Or that if a museum takes a photo of something in the public domain, they can restrict others from offering/using their own photos of that work?
I've looked into this a bit and it seems to be a problem of distributors. Essentially there are very few distributors in North America. In some cases there is only one distributor. If you need volume, you must buy from those distributors.

The retail price for unprocessed vegetables is somewhere around 4 or 5 times the price paid to the farmer. The big exception is milk where in most countries there are laws on the retail price. Milk is about twice the farm price. This gives you an understanding of how much the distributors are shaving off.

If you are running a small shop and you have connections to non-traditional distributors, you can probably cut the price in half. Which is what the article is claiming. But they will never be able to scale it because they just don't have access to most of the food.

This is not unique to CT. For example, you could -- last checked a few years ago -- get quite good and inexpensive fruits and vegetables around Lefferts Garden (below SE end of the Park) in Brooklyn.

It's common for people to behave rudely like this and, when asked not to, pretend they were merely stating neutral facts. Perhaps you genuinely think so; in that case the answer is to develop a more accurate sense of what the HN guidelines mean when they talk about being civil. If you continue to break them as you repeatedly have in the past, we're going to conclude that you don't want to use HN as intended and ban your account.

It's not hard to learn what the standard here is and keep to it. Many users have had to do so (myself included). The only question is whether one wants to.

Cultural criticism is not racist, and that word has been used for far too long to shut down far too reasonable discourse.

Bedouin culture is primitive, in the sense that it resembles the state of earlier societies in history.

It has norms that significantly conflict with basic human rights. Attempting to conflate comparative cultural criticism with racism is nonsense. We should not hesitate to criticize societies that condone the systemic abuse of women, lack basic respect for human dignity, and encourage outright brutality. To that say that culture is primitive is to put it mildly.

Bedouin culture is also significantly different than urban Jordanian culture. Thus editing the question significantly altered the debate.
What is the minimal change to that statement that would make it racist? It comes off as racist to me, but I'm interested to hear your perspective.
It's a very impolite but common way that Americans differentiate the two groups of people that are called Indians when the context isn't clear.
