Hi, I'm the CEO of Guideline. I think you might have fallen into the same trap I did a few years ago. All 401(k) plans are not created equally, and it's not just about the fund menu etc. Vanguard for instance, is not a fiduciary. They will not help you keep your plan in compliance, they will not educate your employees. They don't even do their own record keeping. You will need to pay for those services separately. We are making great 401(k) plans attainable for the small business while focussing on the long term success of your employees.
This is going to be a precedent as all EEA members are either EU or EFTA members and UK will be neither.

Point taken. From the wording below, it appears that it didn't even begin to get to court, so maybe 'settlement' is the wrong word too. It sounds like all they really did was issue a complaint, which WB agreed to listen to.

--------------

The Commission vote to issue the administrative complaint and to accept the proposed consent agreement was 3-0. The FTC will publish a description of the consent agreement package in the Federal Register shortly.

The agreement will be subject to public comment for 30 days, beginning today and continuing through August 10, 2016, after which the Commission will decide whether to make the proposed consent order final. Interested parties can submit comments electronically by following the instructions in the “Invitation to Comment” part of the “Supplementary Information” section of the Federal Register notice.

Could you provide some examples of countries striking better trade deals.

Its also two things negotiators and knowing your strengths.

The world's best negotiators wont be able help you very much if you do not have much to offer.

Also I am skeptical of your assertion that anyone could write trade deals. It requires a very deep understanding of economics, international finance, geopolitics and a bunch of other topics - I would say being able to be a good trade negotiator is a lot more difficult than being a programmer and has far more profound consequences.

I've read many of your comments here and I'm not convinced you have a good understanding of how the EU works. [1] is a committee meeting that tries to establish how we could disentangle ourselves from the EU. It's very long but it's full of great info how the exit could work, and as a side-effect full of info how the EU itself works.

Making a case from an uninformed POV is not convincing me. If you back up your statements with data and pointers I'll pay more attention!

Additionally, the EU likely wouldn't want the UK to have no border with ROI. Otherwise you could simply fly from (say) Romania to Dublin, travel up to Belfast, and move freely within the UK from there. This would create further tensions between the UK and EU.

That second link has a lot of really cool quotes and reference points for Einstein and music!

>Thus Albert directly attributes the Theory of Relativity to his study of music and how it allowed him to access his intuitive thinking. He once said that "the highest form of musicality in the realm of thought" (Paul Schilpp, 1979) as a way to explain to "mathematical" students that thought in its highest form is not mathematical but musical.

This is the quote I've been needing for so long - it's hard to put into words, but I've gotten into XX arguments with people that "Math is the universal language" is wrong and it should be "Music is the universal language." Math is a form of notation. Music is a form of communication.
In the past when it was smaller, yes.

Nowadays, not so much. Perhaps that's Juncker, or perhaps it's the fact that it's now so large. See how Cameron's negotiation went (or rather, didn't).

Besides, most of the compromises were simply not forcing the UK to do new things. That's only seen as a compromise because the EU is run by people who believe every member should be forcibly 'harmonised' through automatic implementation of new EU laws. If the EU was more like a standards body that simply recommended laws instead of mandating their implementation, there would be no need for allowing alternatives to be seen as "compromise"

I doubt it's more than a few million dollars if that. I wonder why the FTC even had to settle for this. Warner was clearly in the wrong. Government agencies are way too quick to settle these days. Sure, a trial would be much harder, but also much more effective in stopping corporate illegal activities in the future. Cheap settlements are just the cost of doing business and I doubt they serve as any deterrent at all.

Nicely put. I'd venture that a lot of the "plug in and go" crowd might be better served with some vigorous exercise rather than electrical stimulation. At least one of the two has viable, peer reviewed studies and results to consider.

But hey, Darwin Awards ain't going to write themselves.
Every time a post like this comes up, I make the following points:

- Learning to code does not mean that everyone should work as a programmer, just like learning to read and write does not mean that everyone should end up as a professional writer (or even blogger).

- For millennia, human societies have done just fine without the literacy we take for granted today. Rulers could rule without it. And commoners didn't really have time for it. Plus, no one could afford Kindles.

- Before mass literacy, the ability to read and write was necessary to be a scholar or historian. Or part of the clergy. If you didn't want to be any of those things, you'd be well-justified in not spending a third of your lifespan (or whatever 12 years is to a pre-industrial-age lifespan) learning how to read and write, nevermind math.

- Fast forward to today. Western societies have 95%+ literacy. I don't think I need to enumerate all the ways we benefit from everyone being able to read and write, despite the vast majority of people being bad at writing (if Facebook posts are a loose measurement).

I agree with most of what the OP says but am disappointed that she still has a too narrow view about the scope of programming. Writing is, on the surface, the ability to record thoughts on a relatively permanent and highly distributable medium (compared to oral storytelling). It's a nice skill to have if you like being able to disseminate your ideas without literally having to tell it to each person, in person. But literacy's power goes deeper than that. A poet 500 years ago is able to write about love, and today, those of us who are literate can know his thoughts and perspectives, even though we don't know his (physical) voice or even his exact identity, nevermind his place in society.

The OP is completely right that people underestimate how hard it is for beginners to learn how to code. I've always thought that once a novice learns how to use a for-loop, they'll have enough of the power of programming to make their lives better. I still think that way, though I'm happy if that epiphany is reached after 10 weeks.

A for-loop turns out not to be that simple when you really think about what it represents, and there's a lack of easy real-life analogies for defining a stored block of code to be evaluated out of your control. But that's why programming is so much more than what the OP seems to believe. Someone who can write well can communicate their ideas to a yet-unknown human audience. Someone who can program can communicate their ideas to a machine with absolutely no brains of its own, but with limitless mechanical power.

How is that not a universally beneficial skill?

> While it seems that with WebAssembly that is no longer necessary

I believe they have mentioned that a WebAssembly target for Rust compilation is something they are working towards, and IMO that would be the ideal way to deploy Rust for a website (if it's a compiled language, there's no need to deliver it uncompiled).
I worked on the cyber reasoning system (CRS) at Trail of Bits for our entry into the Cyber Grand Challenge [1]. Some slides describing the system are here [2].

Specifically, I implemented our fuzzer. I created a dynamic binary translator [3] that emulated the DECREE [4] operating system and x86 arhcitecture. It had the Radamsa [5] mutator built-in, along with a number of other simpler mutators.

I think our fuzzer out-performed our competitors, though I am biased ;-) The fuzzer was single-threaded, but could perform more than a million fuzz/mutate-execute (with coverage) iterations every two hours. Before I optimized it, it beat the pants off PIN [6]. We ran many such fuzzer processes concurrently. They would saturate the CPUs, and actually performed no I/O because I emulated all I/O in memory ;-) This was key to us achieving such high-throughput.

Our fuzzer wasn't super smart (though Radamsa is), but it benefited a lot from a feedback loop with our symbolic executors [7]. The symbolic executors would produce inputs that would then get fuzzed. These inputs could feed back into the symbolic executors, etc. That added more brains to our system.

All in all, we ran the CRS across something like 300 large EC2 nodes (across three availability zones). Per node, 8 or so fuzzers processes were running constantly for 24 hours. I'd ballpark that as 28.8 billion mutate+execute cycles.

In conclusion, the key for us was to make a production-quality, high-throughput fuzzer that did only one thing really well and really fast, then complement it with other more sophisticated tools like symbolic executors.

Mechanical simplicity. If your going to use fly by wire it's nice to have stored power to land without losing control in the event of total loss of fuel or massive mechanical failure. Though this is something like 1/10,000th of total energy used in flight it's really important.

Why does the implementation have to be identical? How would that even be possible, unless they violate the GPL. I don't get your point.

Since the 401(k) laws are federal laws within the IRS, couldn't that law be changed at any time by the federal government? Based on history, it seems naive to think that trillions of dollars sitting in retirement accounts would not be eventually re-purposed.
Honestly, it's difficult to back things with evidence in this field. Ever try to get someone to read a paper on software engineering methods? Before one can get them to understand the evidence or even look at the data, they've already whipped together another couple thousand lines of code to demonstrate the opposite.

Look, I'm definitely not a top %1 (or even %10) architect. But, I have had enough successes under my belt that it's statistically improbable that I don't know what I'm talking about. However, my experience is usually discounted because 'times change, and old ideas aren't relevant' as they say.

That is not how the vast majority of people define "immortal".

You're playing a trick there by jumping from brain to atoms, but people do not define themselves by their atoms, but by their consciousness which will not survive death making what you're saying about all being one rather meaningless. So..

> so for all practical purposes, you are immortal.

Not even close, because I cease to exist the second my brain dies and whatever happens to my atoms after my mind is gone is completely meaningless.
A robot, a bomb, and 6 dead people in Dallas
RadioLab's 9-Volt Nirvana episode discussed how DARPA uses tCDS to enhance sharp-shooting ability.

At the end of the episode, the reporter conveyed a sense of loss when the tCDS system was no longer available to her. She sounded like a drug addict that pines for that feeling of their first high and then risks spending their life in vain trying to recover that feeling.

If your life literally depends on a skill and supervised tCDS can improve it, then the reward may outweigh the unknown risks. But for other tasks/skills, it is difficult to justify.

Edit: typos, clarity

>Selfish behavior is almost always short-sighted behavior.

Only with the assumption that leaving the world in a "better" state (and bearing in mind opinions differ wildly on what that means) is the correct thing to do in terms of value/meaning.

What specifically do you have in mind? You've said I'm wrong but not given any examples.

I tend to not argue from the basis of how the EU is supposed to work, because it tends to put its long-range vision ahead of following specific rules. See how the deficit rules are working out: France is allowed to break the rules "because it's France" (Juncker's words).

To predict the behaviour of such an institution it's better to listen to what the leaders are saying and how they've acted before rather than trying to read the fine print.
We are seeing a cut in funding because until we exit and redistribute that money the EU will in the meantime not fund UK scientists or UK based projects.

As I said given May's history with the technology industries it seems unlikely.
Chile, Switzerland and Iceland all have free trade agreements with China. The EU doesn't.
This makes sense for very small companies, but maybe not so much for large companies. For instance, a senior developer at Google is miles away from the CTO (or equivalent position).

They have the theoretical power, but how do you think "we're taking your retirement accounts" is going to play politically?

The UK's premier scientists can always get jobs elsewhere - and probably will. After a while, if research funding dries up, there won't be any more premier scientists being produced.

Two, if you vote for people who are going to deny you prosperity, you don't get prosperity.

If the working classes don't understand that, it's not the fault of the professional classes who - mostly - do.

The upper classes are happy to con the people they think of as plebs with flag waving, a bit of bunting, and wall to wall lies.

You can't blame the middle classes if they get shouted down with name calling for pointing this out.
Thats not the point of deals - merely convincing your prospective trade partner that a deal is unfair to you at that time is a hard sell.

The UK signed the deal knowing the consequences of it, why would another country sign a trade deal with you knowing that you will not follow the terms due to your countries internal politics ?
"That's assuming tax revenue remains the same"

And it's assuming that a new government is inclined to take the money and give it to the kinds of projects that the EU used to give it to - I can think of a lot of reasons why that might not happen.

> Opening the glove box isn't an unreasonable request on any level.

You have the wrong definition of "unreasonable request". It isn't that it is difficult to open the glove box and thus is an "unreasonable request due to difficulty of compliance". It is unreasonable because they lack reason to open the glove box and have no right to search it. ("muh rights", and for damned good reasons)

"Freak out" is a bit strong, but it's not illogical to dislike telemetry. It's an extra bit of tracking being broadcast by your devices, and as we know from the Snowden docs, the NSA uses collected windows error reporting (telemetry) to help target their exploits.

That someone is worried about these issues does not imply that they don't understand the value of telemetry data for developers. It's just a question of tradeoffs, and it's a decision the user should make.

I don't dislike error reporting in programs. I dislike it when programs call home without asking permission.

What's concerning about this is on the end of the slide, there is a text which says:

"The Tribunal in the Hague ruled on Tuesday, July 12, that China's claim was illegal. But it has no power to enforce the decision."

1. If that's the case, then what good would the Hague ruling be if it is not going to be enforced?
2. Who should be enforcing the said ruling in this case?
You don't have to buy anything and the experience is just fine. There is nor requirement to buy anything - the game leaves plenty to do. It's just the option is there if you want to go faster.

They had already announced rates were going down to 17% so it's only another 2%. This is a tax that is very difficult to collect and becoming more so over time.
Chile is a good example. More deals, better (more often including services) and earlier.

Like I said, I've read trade deals. One I actually read almost from start to finish (the recent WTO deal on upgrading customs rules, I forgot the specific name).

If Chile can sign trade deals with much bigger economic powers, much more quickly than the EU can, I see no reason why the UK would be unable to. Can you justify your assertion that trade negotiation is much harder than programming, or is that just a feeling?
