See, but the politicians didn't create the system; they essentially compete to be the top Vogon.

I'd discount some of the paranoia around the FRB, but the modern monetary system appears to be a very very clever way of herding a population; really if you control the banks, you essentially control a population (since loans become the only way to obtain currency). Taxes then for instance would be superfluous were it not necessary to bring a currency into circulation and to avoid inflation (and thus avoid seditious movements).

I've been trying to find mathematics that describes the banking system, but it appears there are none (other than such hand-wavy deductions).
> Using Groovy, Jython, JRuby, etc

Hope you included Scala, Clojure, and Kotlin in that list, all of which are more suitable than any of those three.

Jython's been around since 1997-ish but isn't used much, nor is JRuby. As for Groovy, I recently looked into its apparent popularity at #17 on the TIOBE ranking and found Baidu was giving a result 12 times too high and Yahoo a result 20 times too high, both of which would skew the ranking. Groovy's real ranking is somewhere below that of #50 ranked Clojure.

The shirt is merino wool. It's magical stuff. As my top level comment said, I have the same shirt. I've worn it similarly. It truly hasn't stunk, no matter how long I've worn it, or how long it's gone between washings (not, granted, that I've pushed it; I think, at worst, it's gone a couple weeks between washings, being worn perhaps half that time).
But lower fees mean higher returns which means clients already pay more capital gains tax etc.

Frankly if that's a tax loophole, then every credit union is in massive trouble. Not to mention restricted banks like USAA.
Natural selection works in context. Any trait that is selected is selected in context, there is no absolute right or wrong in natural selection.

The fact that a trait has been selected says nothing of its intrinsic value or its utility in a different context. It certainly bears no moral value.

Surely, you would agree that the context we experience today is a little different from the time where selection pressure could favor anger?
Worked at BBN from 1983-1990, at the tail end of the NCP->IP/TCP "transition." Terrifically interesting stuff to work on, with loads of terrifically smart people to learn from. One of the legendary recruiters there (rest his soul) referred to the place as a "halfway house for failed MIT & Harvard PhDs." A magical place, and I feel lucky to have fooled that recruiter into letting me get hired.
Absolutely right on the six, my bad.

The reason INT 3 is used is that it's the only interrupt that has a single byte opcode (0xCC). Other interrupts require two bytes: CD <interupt number>.

This makes setting a breakpoint really easy, as all you have to do is replace a single byte (and restore a single byte) where you want to place your breakpoint.
INT 3 being only one byte is also important when you're setting a breakpoint instead of a another single byte instruction - your newly set breakpoint won't override the consecutive instruction, which might be jumped to somewhere else in the code.

Eh, Sublime's vim emulation is fairly terrible. There are a bunch of common commands missing, and it doesn't integrate well with some of Sublime's features.

For example, if you use tab-completion in insert mode, it records the action as what you actually typed rather than the completed text. So if you press . to repeat it somewhere else, it inserts the gibberish you actually typed. (And Sublime's fuzzy matching is really good, so that gibberish can be pretty bad...)
> However, I believe in what Voltaire once smartly said "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".

For what it's worth, Voltaire never said that. It was a description, written by Tallentyre, of Voltaire's attitude towards De l’esprit after the book became a resouding success and everyone who hated Helvétius for writing it suddenly wanted to be his friend once he was a popular success.

Sure, and he's expressing himself by giving millions of dollars to a man who, by his own account, thinks the president can and should behave as a fascist dictator.

Altman deserves attention for that reason: does Peter Thiel truly reflect the will and opinions of Trump supporters? That seems implausible at best. More likely Thiel is their opposite in many ways, but he sees an opportunity that he can get by aligning with Trump.

In other words, I don't believe that Thiel speaks on behalf of Trump supporters, or that his input really helps to target them at all, but rather his recent history has shown he is more likely behaving in his own selfish self-interest.
Crazy slow on the feeds and speeds, diamond coated tooling (Harvey is where to go). Macor is highly structurally compromised compared to other ceramics to make it machinable.

Typically, production (which is to say, low volume med/aero/optics parts) ceramic machining is limited to cleaning up datum surfaces, walls, mating surfaces, holes and (god forbid) threadmilling tapped holes. It sucks. Totally not capable of meeting iPhone scale at all.

> The danger is that some customers don't buy at all.

I'm still using my 3-year-old iPhone 5S. I may update to the 7, but I'm not sure I will...for exactly the reasons you state. The phone works fine, and the only thing I'm really concerned about is some future iOS update making the phone unusable. My question is: is my update cycle going to become more common (or even the norm)? How does Apple hedge against a more fragmented purchasing pattern?
When I was a 3rd grader in South Korea I had the hardest time solving the simplest arithmetic problems. My teacher used to keep me after hours as a punishment until I was able to solve them. I think it was literally something like "2+3-3+2+2-100+39". You could say that I was pretty much in the opposite end of "exceptional" on any subject — was NEVER serious about school back then and completely ignorant of education (probably didn't even know what this meant).

To me school was a place where I went to hang out with friends for 7 to 8 hours, and yet, I don't remember my parents doing anything about it, not even a light discussion about my education. This went on for several years even during my early school years in the U.S. (my family immigrated in the middle of my 3rd grade year).

It was only when I started watching stargate and other scifi movies/tvshows that I got interested in science and technology, and thought "Hey, maybe I might try this thing called education so that I can do things that these guys are doing in the tv!", but realized that I was still extremely subpar at math and english (not to mention i even sucked at korean - got worse now, but i think i got a little bit better at english), and pretty much everything else, flunked algebra in high school and mostly Cs and rarely Bs on other subjects, and miraculously A in PE hahaha.

At the time I knew I had to do something about it, so I asked my parents for help, but sadly got close to none. They hired some tutors for me but it never worked out (you could really tell, the tutors were frustrated at how stupid I was). At some point I realized that I had to take this matter into my own hands - had to start all over from the fundamentals. At which point I actually started reading books, writing, memorizing, solving (math problems), I had to pretty much make up for what people usually learned in their primary school up to jr. high years. I eventually managed to do well in math, improved speaking/writing/reading in english a little bit, trained myself in scientific thinking, got into physics at a university and now I'm working as a software engineer. Buried in financial aid debt... :(

The thing about people though... is that we forget quite a lot of things we learned 10 years ago, but the most coolest thing nowadays is that as long as you have a way of getting information into your head, your education only ends at your last breath. Although when I was growing up I hardly saw my father, and my parents never intervened in regards to my education, they were there for moral support, life lessons, and the list goes on. I think that in the near future if I were to have children of my own, first and foremost I'd hope to see them growing up healthy, and that they'd find something they're interested in earlier in their lives, but I'm not sure if it will help to be strict with their education, we'll see.
Borderlands is another good example of this. Procedurally generated guns, but they fall into buckets of terrible->ok->good->amazing, and the particular uniqueness of that weapon becomes stale after a few minutes. I enjoyed about the game until about halfway through until it started turning into a slog. (Although this is probably a matter of MMO mechanics not meshing well with FPS).
Visiting non-AMP sites on mobile is masochistic (e.g. try searching news results). You get basically all the same problems, but also pop-unders, late loading ads, greedy javascript, autoplaying videos, and other bad behavior.

Linux had a remotely exploitable root privilege vulnerability in the recvmmsg system call just last week. Linux experiences local root exploits via innocuous-seeming system calls roughly every 3 months, last time I checked.

Containers cannot and will not provide effective security. Capabilities more generally cannot and will not provide effective security in practice. Capabilities have been around in Linux since before 2000 and they've always been trivial to circumvent because of kernel bugs. The problem has never been granularity of capabilities but about code quality and surface area. If you're concerned about security, you want at _least_ something like seccomp or pledge. But as the recvmmsg issue shows even that's not enough. Heck, virtual machines aren't even enough--Xen has had two privilege escalation vulnerabilities in less than a year.

Containers are about easing deployments. Docker understands that, I think. And while there are many aspects about the whole container phenomenon that I find very unpalatable, I applaud Docker for understanding that, or at least not peddling the security angle too heavily.

The only practical, one-size-fits-all security boundary for software as complex as Linux or Windows is physically separate hardware. Linux's recent recvmmsg exploit notwithstanding, direct remote exploits of kernels are rare enough that you can make an argument for their benefit without exploit authors rolling their eyes.

I think you are the one spreading misinformation. I'm well aware of the arguments and find them extremely unconvincing.

Look, for instance, at high frequency trading. Traders spend millions of dollars trying to get signals across the earth a millisecond faster than the competitors. Does it actually benefit anyone that information travels a millisecond faster? Who benefits from the high frequency traders at all? Yet they eat up millions, maybe even billions, of the economy's resources doing this nonsense.

Look at these trader spending millions of dollars to fly drones over oil tankers or parking lots, to get slightly more accurate information faster than anyone else. Look at these hedge funds spending tons of money on bribes to people in companies to get insider information before the public does. These things clearly provide zero benefit to the world, it's just a massive waste of resources.

This hedge fund is a bit different, in that they seem to be actually doing fundamentals and longer term bets. That's not so bad, but it's still pretty disconnected from any real world benefits. At best they predict a company will increase in value and buy it's stock. How does that benefit anyone? It's almost a zero sum game. The people that buy the stock that week lose, because the price is higher than it otherwise would have been. The people that sold the stock lose, because it was really worth more than they actually sold it for. Any money the hedge fund makes necessarily comes from someone else losing that money.

The stock market itself is not really connected to the real world. Sure sometimes companies sell stock to raise capital. But most stocks being sold and bought are not by the companies themselves. It's a huge indirect chain of traders and investors and speculators, trading these stocks many, many years after the company sold them. And the company itself would still be able to sell stocks if there were fewer traders. At worst the prices would be slightly less accurate.

Price information of stocks is also a horribly inefficient way of getting this information. These companies are often involved in many separate projects. So even if someone has a model that can exactly predict the success of products, it's very difficult to use that information. You also need to determine how much the company is worth given all of it's projects and businesses and property it owns. It doesn't directly give that information to the company itself - they see their stock went down, but they may have no idea why. Not to mention Keynesian beauty contest problems, where you have to predict not what the company is worth, but what other people think it will be worth, and how much they know currently, and what the interest rate is, etc.

But you didn't address my main concern, which is the bad incentives of secrecy, and the opportunity cost of employing smart people doing this, instead of doing something else. Even if it does produce some value, it doesn't mean it's worth the cost.
Your response sounds more like the religious groups howling "world will end" whenever a new scientific progress is made. Internet survived because of its obvious commercial value. Google and Facebook are doing nothing new but making their ends meet.
Makers aren't interested in paying for software because they don't generally make money off what they make. The key to any business is proving value. For makers, they're already used to providing sweat equity, so to speak. The thought of a little more probably isn't troubling, but paying more money (over and above their investment in hardware and software they weren't able to get to free) is very possibly what pushes it from hobby to detrimental to their fiscal health.

I don't know codebenders, so I'm out on a limb here with respect to their business. But for any business in this market, you need to figure out a way to be some kind of Kickstarter, not just major their lives a bit easier. Enable something they couldn't do before you came along. Help them turn their hobby into a business, or at least make it a zero-sum game by making a tiny profit off what they're doing. Even that isn't a guarantee but it'll put you a little closer to the goal.
I am not saying it's okay to infringe freedom of speech.

I will speak in general of Russia's television networks (because in my country there are not only RT, but more), but they are blatantly using this term to spread to say whatever they want. But what if they say that oppression against occupied soviet countries didn't happen? [&][0]( original sources not in english). Their defence is of course 'freedom of speech'. But what if that 'freedom of speech' breaks laws (usually it's on the brink of the law)? What if their reporters are filming themselves near infamous rocket artillery launchers[1][2], launchers who are hitting civilians [3][4]?

I recommended googling to see 'two opinions' yourself and how they present themselves. Someone like RT will never say two different opinions and most importantly not even mention another opinion exists. How they will disgustingly disguise and create a "mist of lies" around some fact that they know they are wrong about it. E.g. clearly fake satellite pictures how russia managed to picture a fighter jet in the process of firing it's weapons into MH17 (that fighter jet is an infantry support jet, with 7km flight ceiling (or 5km loaded)) [5]

Russian information channels work very well, they just work with KGB and Goebbels strategies.

"Freedom of speech" is no more freedom of speech when it breaks laws or is blatant and utter photoshoped lie.

[&] It's the same that Deutche Welle would start showing documentaries that holocaust and concentration camps didn't happen, a huge insult to victim countries and people, not to say it would be break the law in many countries as well.

Curious, why wouldn't you use Tramp mode for that? I've found that to be a much more satisfying experience than the whole fire up terminal -> ssh somewhere -> poke around with cd -> fire up a vanilla vim song-and-dance. Instead, simply open the remote file with your entire editing environment still available, plus potentially even the superior Helm or Projectile or whatever you use available instead of manual file-finding.
And this is just the tip of the ice berg. Think about all the scheming, scams, power mongering, corruption and outright crime that goes on in the banking business. Self regulation my ass. They're gambling on the whole planet basically. And ofc nothing will ever chance, because the banks own the goverments. A single "occupy wall street" protester will certainly get more time in the jail for minor offence than a bank exec would ever get for his crimes.

So would approximately everyone, but right now a green-power-only world would mean crushing energy scarcity and spiking prices. For the time being, we have to let through coal, natural gas, or nuclear, and our argument is that nuclear is far and away the least bad option of those three.

Wanting energy sources that have minimal environmental impact and no risk of large environmental impact is great, but you have to hold that position as strongly against coal as you do against nuclear or we just get more coal, which is a great deal worse.
I went 20 years without knowing how breakpoints work because they always just did (when they were available). Reading this, it's unsurprising how the tool works. That's the best kind of tool.
Version 1.0.

I was at The Foundry while this was happening.

ILM struggled to use Katana with their existing file format.

I'd be worried if the idea wasn't similar - it was the implementation that mattered, and ILM's older format wasn't very good at random access and lazy loading (which were things needed for efficient use in Katana).

Alembic 1.0 was very close to Sony's Taco format rebranded.
I am voting for Donald Trump.

I have weighed the issues in reference to the interests of myself, my family, my community, and my country. As an independent, I kept seeing the same pattern: people on the right are open to discussing issues, people on the left want to alienate me and act hostile and throw around pejoratives without providing substantive evidence. That's honestly enough for me.

But here's the real kicker - it is going to take an outsider to deal with corruption. This was the tipping point for me: https://i.sli.mg/jozAB1.jpg
I avoided writing about the structural stuff in the article, only because ceramics - beyond the basic, off the shelf stuff, are WAY above my paygrade. Some people argue that ceramics are OK for a phone (that Mi5? I think, has a ceramic shell back, and seems to be holding up OK in the field).

Ceramics are interesting in that they could be the perfect material for so many things, if only a few very short limitations could be overcome - chief among them being brittleness and ease of manufacturing. As such, there are a lot of big brains working in proprietary labs, trying to gain an edge... and getting close in a lot of cases.

So Apple could have solved that and is waiting to get closer to launch to disclose through patents. Who knows?

What we DO know is that no current ceramic process can scale to iPhone volumes, and if Apple did solve that... we would have seen at least a little bit of that tech getting tested in the Edition. Since we didn't, I can't see it working out for a phone.

If I was going to re-write it, I would be a bit clearer on that and also add the possibility of a ceramic Edition. I don't know if Apple is that in love with this as a material though.
I recently dusted off Minecraft for the first time in a few years and was surprised, in retrospect, at how little effort the game makes at any semblance of balance or progression. One world might start you right next to a village with a chest full of diamonds, while another might start you in a vast desert - with no trees, meaning no wood, tools, or torches, meaning a long walk (and probably many deaths) before progression per-se can begin.

MC is best considered as a sandbox simulation rather than a game. (Not that that's a criticism of course - it's just something I'd forgotten after a few years of not playing.)
