That limit either was, or was very close to being, ignored in Cyprus. You'd be foolish to bet €100k on that limit being hard if the shit hits the fan in Italy (which is a lot bigger than Cyprus and doesn't have anywhere near as much dirty Russian money they can grab instead). Also, the limit is for nought if Italy leaves the Eurozone and your savings are forcefully converted to "New Lira" (which are then "protected", but worth a lot less).

TL;DR: If you have cash in Italian banks, GTFOASAP. If you're a "good guy", buy hard Italian assets (perhaps property), so the money (perhaps) stays in the country, otherwise, get an offshore account (even if declared, and thus perfectly legal, it's much less likely that the Italian government will be successful in grabbing the money, especially if you pick a non-EU jurisdiction, but IANAL).
No, it is not fine with me. I have to have ability to make informed decision.
San Diego is a bit odd in that it seems like a place where downtown is still relatively affordable (emphasis on relative), while people pay quite a bit to live in the beach towns and historic streetcar suburbs. I was surprised at how cheap condos in high rises in Little Italy could be, and how expensive houses in Clairemont Mesa (a place that seems to have few redeeming qualities) were.

Source: Lived in South Park, a streetcar suburb about 3 miles from downtown, for the last year. Enjoyed SP, but disliked SD.

Also, many people will decry my use of the word "suburb" for a place 3 miles out, but it was originally built as one and the residents have fought tooth and nail to prevent any development that would change its character or increase density. I'm sure they don't mind that their home values have increased massively as a result of these restrictions on building in nearly the only pleasant, walkable neighborhood in a city composed primarily of aphalt hellscape, though.
Yeah. What I want to add, from my own experience, is that you can have discipline (you show up) and still can't do anything (you are not prepared). This kind of dicipline in doing comes from discipline in preparing. At this age this could be even more important because we live in crowded cities that simply are not design for this.

the real issue here is the central bank authority which should do the supervision on private banks. a significant number of italian banks right now are under a commissioner from the central bank for being near death in the past decade after the subprime crisis.

that's a serious thing: the whole cda gets thrown out and replaced by cronies from the central bank. now it's surfacing that these cronies, who should have done nothing but supervise, have no idea of how deep the bank they're directly supervising rabbit hole is. (the central bank supervises all others indirectly at least)

but this is kept under wrap for now from the general public. it's very easy to keep these thing from people minds as everyone just want to look elsewhere when faced with a problem larger than their close group of friend.

and that's making matter worse. a new kind of financial crisis is brewing here.
As it happens I'm reading this piece from Savannakhet, Laos PDR. No disrespect to Tim but when you spend time in places like Savannakhet, it's easy to see just how detached from the reality of the world population some of these self-proclaimed "alpha geek" futurists really are.

A few points I take issue with:

1) Like Keynes before him, O'Reilly misses the point that the majority of the world's population doesn't participate in open, free, or global markets. They are permitted limited access to local markets by oligarchs, who rarely grant that access out of benevolence, and maintain enough military and police power to revoke it if necessary. This is probably the single biggest reason that poor countries stay poor. Technology hasn't solved this problem because it's political. The article doesn't consider it.

2) Tim thinks that more automation is going to change the world. And of course it has already changed the developed world and will change it even more. But in much of the world, the labor of many people can be had for very very cheap. When you can hire an unlimited number of people for a few dollars a day, which in many developing economies is easy, there is little incentive to automate. In fact there is a disincentive -- you would rather keep everyone working because unemployment leads to unrest. So subsistence economies, developing countries with big rural and agricultural economies plus a big workforce -- they are not automating and have no interest in doing so. The pace at which these places change will remain slow.

3) The article touches on our great struggle ahead to overcome climate change -- as these articles written by humanity's great thinkers always do nowadays. But as the economies under these oligarchs develop, how will we convince them to do climate-friendly things when it would increase the price they pay for energy and slow their rate of growth? Climate studies alone won't do it -- some combination of political pressure and the direct economic impact of climate change might, but they will fight it hard.

All this is not really a refutation of the article, which makes plenty of valid points -- but it also makes these rosy predictions about the whole world being rich and automated in two generations' time, which makes sense if you're talking to tech heads all day, but totally ignores the non-tech realities that dictate the lives of most of humanity. The future is not evenly distributed, and the future future will probably be even more uneven.

in many, many cases quality of original vs copy is really not the same, cheeses which require very long and specific processes to mature are a good example (ie I've yet to taste Gruyere that would be equal to original Swiss one with AOC stamp, French copies are pretty bland in comparison and not cheaper either). Same can go for virtually any type of food. And yes I would prefer original cheddar compared to some done by some john doe in next town 'following original recipes' and I would vote with my wallet for it.

it might be a strange concept for non-europeans, but for us, this is one of the best things that came from EU integration. if I buy a copy, I want to know it's a copy and not original. simple as that.
While I tend to agree that the actual food is probably safe , there are several valid ideological justifications for such labeling. I would also support seed variety labeling wherever it is reasomably practical, as consumer choice can only be choice if fact are available. The history should also have taught us that if the industry tries to avoid labeling, they should generally be required labeling. They are likely not afraid of ink expenditures, rather they want to sell me one thing and tell me it is something slightly different, for profit.
One of the principles of turing machines is that they are deterministic. In that vain, there exists no programmable RNG except for pseudo random ones. One has to ask oneself if piping a transform of the digits of a transcendental real number is a violation to this rule -- thus what is random really? Is random the lack of ability to find a correlation or program to reproduce it -- or is it something more like Komogrolov complexity? These are tough and inscrutable questions. Shannon, Turing, Curry, Church, Post, and others explored them deeply. Information theory gets extremely existential and esoteric. Is randomness a monad of our universe? Or is physicals and natural chaos just extremely leathery when it comes to extracting the generating program? Our lives depend on it. But either way, we'll carry on. Nature you goddamn enigma.
The BBC is clearly doing a pretty good job at being unbiased (as per its mandate) as _everyone_ thinks it's biased against _them_.

EU laws aren't being enforced. All the fake olive oil is coming out of Italy. If you want real virgin olive oil in the US, you have to buy the California ones. It was also reported that Kobe beef was being sold at European restaurants even when Europe had a ban on Japanese meats during the Mad Cow Scare. Those are things just off the top of my head, i bet if you actually dug in, Europe has many examples of where fake products are sold.

I agree. Atomic clocks are an implementation detail, and also overkill (at least during this decade). I've worked in HFT (albeit in forex, not stocks), and there are always internal delays within the exchange that you cannot predict with anywhere near the accuracy of an atomic clock. (Well, if you could, then that would be a true innovation.)

Hedge Funds don't patent strategies. They keep them as trade secrets. It would make more sense to me if this filing was part of an attempt to build a patent portfolio for defensive purposes, as tech companies do.

Did you not read my example? We are talking here about multiple, physically separated exchanges.

Example:

Vanguard sends a buy order of 1000 shares of AAPL to exchange A. Some HFT firm sees that order on exchange A and knows that it will also be placed on exchange B, and was surely broadcast from Vanguard's trading floor at the exact same moment as the order to exchange A.

However, the HFT firm also knows that Vanguard is physically closer to exchange A then B, and the HFT firm has invested a lot of money to ensure that they have the physically shortest possible route from themselves to exchange B.

This allows them to broadcast their order to exchange B and have it arrive there before the order broadcast by Vanguard, even though they broadcast their order later.

It is somewhat difficult to wrap your head around, but it is a physical reality, and people are making millions of dollars from it as I write this.
Would eliminating the sub-penny rule remove the need to use this strategy? If there were basically an infinite number of points orders could be resting, you could just get in an epsilon above or below some other fund's order to get ahead in the queue?
This requires a perfectly just world. We do not live in such a world and we probably never will.
This article is so over the top that it borders on parody.

Start with the title: "Everything we love to eat is a scam". I can provide lots of counter examples to that statement.

Other statements with my comments

"After reading it you’ll want to be fed intravenously for the rest of your life." - Look up total intraparenteral nutrition and see if you would prefer that to eating.

"Escolar is so toxic that it’s been banned in Japan for 40 years, but not in the US, where the profit motive dominates public safety. In fact, escolar is secretly one of the top-selling fish in America.". - By toxic the author means causes diarrhea due to unabsorbed oils/waxes. Also when we you hear that a lot of people are eating a lot of very toxic food, the food either is not very toxic or else not widely consumed.

"These fake foods produce shallow, flat, one-dimensional tastes, while the real things are akin to discovering other galaxies, other universes — taste levels most of us have never experienced." - I can imagine Galileo realizing that discovering the moons of Jupiter pailed in comparison to eating real Parmigiano cheese.

"Imagine if half the time you pulled into a gas station, you were filling your tank with dirty water instead of gasoline,” Olmsted writes. “That’s the story with seafood.”" - Zero calorie seafood, I never knew?

"Perhaps most surprising of all: discount big-box stores such as Costco, Trader Joe’s, BJ’s Wholesale Club and Walmart are as stringent with their standards as Whole Foods." - In my opinion, the more "hipster" a food establishment is, the less likely that they are really taking care of the food basics. When was the last time you heard of a large-scale McDonalds food poisoning incident? How about Chipotle?

This is one of those genres where books try to convince people that the sky is falling. In reality, we have never had such abundant, safe food in the history of humanity. Other than the people who truly have food allergies, the vast majority of people are really unaffected by any of these "revelations". In addition, especially for seafood, the substitutions are probably more ecologically sustainable.

You could say the same thing about insider trading. So, the argument that accurate prices reach the market faster is not, in and of itself, an argument that something is good.
Go Spanish, they are usually cheaper as they aren't as famous as the Italian, but the quality is the same or even better, as they don't have the strange shenanigans the Italians have with the Mafia. An awful lot of the Italian oil sold outside of Italy is from Spain, anyway [1].

"The Euro just seems like a complete failure. Giant economies are limping along with 20% unemployment, unable to recover 8 years after the recession. In contrast the US has managed an OK recovery, now closing in on full employment."

You are aware that the problem with the EU banking reforms (or lack off) was also that the UK didn't wanted stricter rules with regards of the city of London... ? They even wanted an exemption.

In this regards I find it really intellectual dishonest that over the pound they are pointing fingers to the failure of Europe as they were part of the problem to begin with.

I do hope that from the moment that the UK stops dragging their feet and leave the EU it will be able to make swifter decisions instead of losing energy in constant oppositions.
Much better. You get what you buy.
How did you know in the past where the market was going to be?

If you're in California, try the olive oil (I prefer the italian style) from Ranch Olivos, literally grown in Los Olivos :) Amazing, product, and if you go there yourself you can buy it from the owner, standing under a canopy on his ranch, next to the olive trees. http://www.ranchoolivos.com
The public is not made only/mainly of science-challenged people as you're subtly implying.

There are other reasonable motivations for labeling GMO, ie. political and environmental (not all environmental reasons are "GMO is frankenstein food").

Moreover, the GMO scaremongering will last, as any other fad, for a limited amount of time. The part of public who rejects GMO for shallow (no) reasons, will quickly forget and move one to be scared of something else.

Try spanish olive oil. I'm spanish, so I probably have a bias. You can have pretty decent olive oil for less than 4 euros / litre here so olive oil is the only oil I use.

If you buy oil bottled in Spain look for the "extra virgin olive oil" label: Aceite de oliva virgen extra. We are pretty serious with labeling around here, so you won't be fooled.

There are varieties like picual, hojiblanca, arbequina or cornicabra which are different in color and taste, and are named after the olives they are made from.

Whether UBI works or not might turn out to be a cultural thing. There are societies which value getting ahead of your neighbors and there are societies which value everyone being roughly equal.

In a society where being too ambitious is frowned upon (and if you live in America, it might sound crazy, but there are plenty of these), if you live in a neighborhood where everyone is on UBI, why would anyone get a job?

HFT is only a bad thing, because it's removes bright minds from working on other problems; not because it hurts other market participants (which it doesn't---apart from being competition to other market makers).

I've read some interesting proposal that removing the subpenny rule would make speed less of a concern, since it would be possible to undercut on price instead.

> People need to be given incentives to become more productive.

That is the issue. With increased automation, we don't need people to become more productive. We just need people to continue being consumers of all of the crap that we keep producing for super cheap. And this is the case in most developed countries.

Think of the amount of bullshit jobs that we keep around just for the sake of justifying one's worth as a productive member of society. Think of all of the "me-too" apps that we see for every closed platform. Think of all of the overpriced espresso you pay at the hipster cafe to some barista that might be $100k in debt for their French Literature B.A, and dreams of becoming a journalist writing for $150 a piece to HuffPo.

None of these people are actually needed by the system, except for their capacity to consume. UBI can be a solution for it. If it actually becomes universal and it is used to replace the broken means-tested welfare methods, I'm all for it.
For what it's worth, I live Ireland and moved here after 30 years in the US. I agree that the TTIP is a terrible idea (and feels a bit like imperialism chasing after me as I exit). Food on the continent is a sheer delight for the senses.

However, if you visit this fine emerald isle, you will find the US has no monopoly on bland, mildly sweet food. (To be fair, we _do_ have some pretty great cheese)

We totally do get to say that in this case. This game inherits issues that have been present in Ingress for years. Years! Ingress gets away with it most of the time because it's not operating in a worst-case scenario where the backend has to suddenly scale from limited beta to millions of active users, so fewer of these bugs present. The actual architecture work underneath is poor; client code should not crash, softlock, or lose frames because of a temporary connectivity issue.

But TBH, that is probably not about how much the engineering team is paid, it's about what culture they have. Nintendo's console development teams would never ship something with this many catastophic bugs. Niantic has probably decided that the way they're doing things is "industry standard" (within the context of mobile and their particular silo) and does not need substantial improvement.

Edit: How poor is this code, you ask? It does not let me rename my Pokemon. A race condition occurs where it tries to pop up the Android keyboard and close it at the same time.
