I definitely see your point about the wording, and I'm also not in love with it.

I guess I was approaching the situation from the known information of the case, which is fairly clearly a very crude attempt at finding a crime of rape where one doesn't exist (even the supposed "victims" deny there was rape).

I could see how the parent's wording is off putting, but notice how I've also put "victims" in between quotes. None of the evidence of the case points at them being victims. Therefore, there is no evidence (not just strong evidence, but any evidence) that a crime was committed. I think that's a fair use for quotes, and no more or less dishonest than calling them "scare quotes". If an accusation of a crime stands on a very flimsy foundation of made up evidence, I think it is fair to call it a "crime".

Maybe if you read the comment as coming from someone who has ill feelings against the government of Sweden for doing this (rather than any ill will against the alleged victims) you will see that it's not so cut and clear that the parent is a misogynist or ignorant with regards to rape or whatever other first impression you may have received from the comment.

You don't need to come up with a conspiracy here. Ivy League schools simply don't care about providing as many people as possible with a good education.

The goal is rather to be the best in research, education and in the experience of studying for the people that do attend. They achieve that goal by significantly limiting how many people are allowed to attend, especially poor students that take money away from the school.

If you really want to help poor people, ignore what the rich are doing, ignore inequality and identify who those poor people are, what problems they have and fix them. That will be far more beneficial than attacking the "elites".

Sure, the guys at tastytrade.com put a ton of effort into educating people and providing a platform (dough.com) that provides this information. I think it has some organizational issues, but my way to start would be to start with the 'Where Do I Start' series they have.

In short, that site largely revolves around the fundamental premises of a random-walk view of prices, and using the time-decay of selling options to reduce the cost basis of holdings over time. There's a lot of treatment and research on correlation of different assets (equities, different kinds of commodities, currencies). My advice if you follow this is to start small and stay actively engaged without getting over-confident at early success. There is a lot of getting used to the mechanics and learning the products so that you can make it a manageable part of your life, time-wise. Also you need to make sure you properly understand the relevant notional values you're dealing with so you can do proper sizing.

BTW quick answer to your first question, here's a sample basket of lesser-correlated assets that the typical index funds that all boil down to being long the market. One of the cores of having a random-walk view of things is that the choice of direction (long/short) is less important than the strategy & cost basis reduction (all of these have liquid option markets):

Long S&P (/ES or SPY)
Long Gold (/GC or GLD)
Short Bonds (/ZB or TLT)
Short WTI Oil (/CL or USO)
Long Euro/USD (/6E or FXE)

What is your baseline?
Sometime around 1979 or 1980 someone gave me a slip of paper with a phone number and said "Dial this with a modem."

I did, it answered "Pentagon TIP," and before too long I was roving around the ARPANET. If memory serves me right the main command was "C" for connect. You simply typed "C" and a small number, and then logged in as "guest"/"guest" (the world was smaller and more innocent back then). I'm fairly certain that I logged in to a system at UC Berkeley.
> Is there something really damaging in Wikileak emails?

The most damaging thing at the moment would have to be the attempted bribery from the under secretary to the FBI. Even in their excuse they are kind of admitting they attempted to bribe, but it just failed so we shouldn't worry.

The other part that really gets me is the death penalty question that the head of the DNC smuggled out of CNN when she was working there. I don't know how she hasn't resigned when you have been caught working within the media to manipulate things to benefit your prefered candidate.

And that skips over the whole issue of how the DNC was bias against bernie, it's just pilling on now how rigged the system was against him.

Clinton's take on foreign policy is the worst thing about her. Amazingly, Trump managed outdo her even in that, by sheer inconsistency - "no wars in Middle East" but "we will destroy ISIS", and on top of that consistent calls to weaken NATO, exactly when it actually becomes relevant again. Don't even get me started on all the things he said pertaining to nukes - that alone would be a disqualifier even if he was a saint otherwise.
> Having read the emails I disagree that there is anything damning in them.

So you think it was fine for the current head of the DNC to leak questions from CNN to hillary during the primary?

And you think it's fine for the under secretary of state to be trying to bribe the FBI to reduce the classification of emails found on her server? Personally I don't see how that isn't a crime.

A subpoena was already in place for those documents, it's tampering with evidence.
Yes, but even well designed games (from a gameplay pov) can have unexpectedly powerfull builds, like what happened with Starcraft 2 and the genetic-algorithm build order[0]. So simulating builds/gameplays can give you another edge at detecting strange/powerful scenarios.

I also think you should rely on player feedback and community to spot this kind of things, but that could become time consuming if you're a lone developer.

To clarify: I don't feel that he deserved prison for what he was accused of and eventually pled guilty to in a plea bargain, given the totality of the circumstances. Which was not, unless I'm misreading, anything to do with diamond smuggling.

Mind you, it's possible he plead guilty to what seems (to me) as vaguely absurd charges to avoid a much harsher penalty for the diamond smuggling and such.

Does Google have any plans to let users opt out? Maybe an icon that takes you to the original? I tried opening the AMP link in a new tab and it took me to the site, so at least there's a workaround.

Since I normally use Firefox Mobile (has to try it with Chrome), I don't get the AMP icon and I'm taken to the requested site. I'm guessing this functionality is limited to Chrome and (maybe?) Safari on mobile.

AMP is attempting to solving a challenging problem, and although I don't personally agree with their solution, I've gotta recognize that opening the embedded AMP version of the page from the result of "git tips" was faster on Chrome than on Firefox. I'm hopeful that the lessons learned from this will be pushed upstream and help improve the web.
Well, it's an ethical decision, fundamentally. So the way you approach it should be consistent with the way you approach them in general. If the degree of popular support for some policy or opinion factors into your determination of whether it's ethical or not, then sure. If it doesn't, I don't see why it should be any different in this case.
From the link [1]

"There’s a simple statistic called the Lincoln Index that lets you estimate the total number of errors based on the number of errors found"

"Suppose two testers independently search for bugs. Let E1 be the number of errors the first tester finds and E2 the number of errors the second tester finds. Let S be the number of errors both testers find. The Lincoln Index estimates the total number of errors as E1 E2/S. "

E1 = count from searcher 1
E2 = count from searcher 2
S = Number overlapping

If S != 0, then a good estimate of the number of bugs in the code is E1E2/S. One can derive error bounds and confidence intervals if desired

Nowhere does this formula need prior knowledge. All is needs is at least two testers to count the bugs each found and the overlaps. This is precisely* the example I gave above.

As one analyzes how this works, one finds that this is likely lower than the true bug count. A simple reason is explained in "Beginning Software Engineering" by Rod Stephens, p197, which you can find on google books and read.

Alternatively, try searching for "estimate number of software bugs" in Google scholar and you can see a vast literature based exactly on refining methods like this.

If hacker news had a speed rating next to the links I would probably click on them more instead of just reading the comments to decide if it's worth pulling up an article.

Note, It has been suggested that a speed rating on Google would be equivalent to the amp experience with less Google control.
We've spent trillions building out this thing called the internet and yet I've yet to see a single killer app. Maybe the whole thing is a waste?

I still don't understand why it's mandatory to use the Google CDN, but I probably don't want to know.
Anger in person can be effective and helpful. Not violence, just anger. I prefer disappointment, that I wish you had tried harder kind of feeling.

Anger only has a useful effect on people with power. Being mad at a phone rep is pointless. Being mad at an enterprise sales person that you've worked with for months can change things.

But they have to have some power. Never kick puppies.
true, but the article suggests that they were not seeing evidence of emergent resistance.

Also, the mechanism of action is one which bacteria would have a very hard time learning resistance to.
I agree. I don't think it even has to go as far as ill will. Even run-of-the-mill selfishness bleeds deeply into purported attempts to help others.

Thus an essential part of helping anyone is: be sure that you're really doing it to _help them_. It's not sufficient by a long shot (as you rightly point out), but it is more or less necessary.

Thanks for the frank discussion.
Based on the headline, I thought this was going to be about either my company or my government.

I concur.
The Washington Post[0] has it broken down by demographics since June. As you can see, as of October 13th, Trump's only lead in education is among voters who have completed "some college", with Clinton having a huge lead among those with college degrees and postgraduate degrees. She even has a narrow lead among those with a high school education or less.

(2) is a good point, I never thought of that. So, if KSP is giving the right hints here, it seems like the inclination needs to be pretty exact because they don't have any delta-v left to adjust it for the landing.

As a native Russian speaker, but one who moved to the United States 20 years ago, I do find the Google translation of Russian to be really excellent, as well as vice-versa (but Russian is much more widely spoken, including of course, by a Google Executive, than Frisian.)
But the article states that even babies, who don't express those knowledge verbally, can have different reaction.

In my experience, sample size=1, you don't talk that much with a baby about colors. The article doesn't explain details, and that made me wonder: is this genetic? Cultural? How does it goes when the parents have different cultures? Moving to another city/country changes that? Being in a nursery with caregivers of the same/different culture?

Once I read a discussion about teaching your child colors, and how some take longer to differentiate colors from the object, so that color is an attribute and not _the_ object. That's where this caught my attention.
> rump's already made it clear he wants to make it easier to manipulate the press, and Clinton was clearly willing to engage in underhand tactics to get the Democratic nomination

I would dare say that these two things aren't equivalent.

Clinton "rigging" the primaries didn't involve preventing people from speaking out, or excluding them from voting. It was mostly about the system itself being "pre-rigged" by design, so to speak, and then some coordination with the DNC behind the scenes. All bad juju, but not the kind of thing that causes lasting damage compared to the current state of affairs. Compared to Democrat "machines" of the old, it's practically peanuts - and the country and its political system survived those.

OTOH, Trump's talk about expanding the libel laws and otherwise targeting the press, if implemented to its logical completion, would take a lot of time to dig out of. That's not even taking into account his threats to "investigate" his political opponents if elected.
The Harvard and Stanford names would quickly lose their prestige if they abandoned the US. Most of the prestige is derived from the citizens of the US to begin with.
They were called "stakeholders" then, too (at least in the late 80s). The concept is not new.

There were very serious discussions, especially after the crash of 87, about the ethical balance of looking out for the stockholders (often seen as focused on the near term and often contrary to stakeholder interests) and the stakeholders (often seen as focused on the long term and perhaps not in the best interest of the stockholders).

Why do you ask?
The speed isn't just a bonus, it means you can do things that weren't possible before, or were painfully slow.

Just as dial-up held us back, but the benefits of broadband weren't realized until we finally perfected things like streaming audio and video, the impact of gigabit connected networks will take time and may come in an unexpected form.

The more immediate effects will be that distributed computing becomes no big deal, and accessing your files from the cloud or from a home device while remote becomes frictionless. Instead of necessarily lugging around a laptop you might travel lighter, confident that you can get access to what you need anyway.

It also makes apps like Dropcam possible where you stream endless hours of video to a remote server on the off chance you might need it. The cost of maintaining multiple streams becomes so low you don't even worry about it. No longer do you need to fret over the equivalent of popping a breaker when trying to watch Netflix as well.

The funny thing about these applications is they don't seem like a big deal when you have them, but when you suddenly lose them it's a huge problem. This is much the same way we take electricity and running water for granted, never thinking much of it, but when it cuts out we're in trouble.

> Every politician has public and private positions. That's just how politics works.

So you agree that she is trying to create an alternative reality for private purposes?
That's possible, but it isn't currently the case. At a minimum, having a long vanguard 500 position has a roughly 50% + positive drift - fees chance of success. Part of the long vanguard 500 price bakes in the unlimited theoretical upside that comes along with it. Selling option contracts against that long position to give up that upside beyond a certain price reduces your cost basis and pushes your position's success rate over 50%. Repeated over many events creates a net positive expected value.

Even if there was no edge in the market, as in your premise, it's still the case that the upside of a long S&P 500 equity position is unlimited, and the upside of a long S&P 500 equity position with an option sold against it is limited, therefore would be priced to have a superior chance of success relatively speaking. More market participants would improve the price accuracy of risk, it wouldn't reduce the price of risk to zero.

As for whether its worth it, I think the aggregate effect is significant and, of course, is subject to the benefits of compounded returns, so it doesn't take much to severely outperform your other prospects in the long term. It's up to each of us to decide if its worth learning.

What you call "self-serving rationalizations" are a form of logical thinking. I hope I haven't implied that they're exactly the same thing as logic.

Either way, I frankly don't see a problem with "self-serving rationalizations." This article, in the way I read it, shows a particular way to rephrase a situation that would otherwise make you angry, so that it ends up being a win-win situation instead. This isn't even happening at the cost of someone else.

I don't understand what you consider to be so wrong about this article, or about this concept. Is it not enough to just be nice to people, do we have to always have unselfish intentions too?
I would further posit that, in addition to differences among the various schools, you are often times at the whim of individual financial aid officers, who have full authority to accept or reject the applications they are processing.
The unfortunate reality of the present US political system is that in inter-party politics, there's only one degree of freedom. Other fights have to be fought on the inside to get anywhere, in the primaries etc. And if your side wins, then you take the entire party for the ride along with yourself in national politics.

YES. We have a strict no-EBS policy. Our main concern is that historically EBS has been a big single point of failure that can take down an entire AZ or worse a whole region. There were a number of outages in 2010-2012 that really bad for EBS instances[1][2]. The rate of outages has certainly gone down since then, but its hard to trust a system that has burned you badly multiple times in the past.

There was a good post by Bryan Cantrill after one of those really bad outages[3]. While this post is from an AWS competitor, the arguments about the reliability of network storage are sound.

While the trend by AWS has been to move away from ephemeral storage, it doesn't seem like they are working to completely kill it off. d2 and i2 fill a lot of our storage node needs. For our compute nodes I could see us moving to a model of booting off ebs and then pivot rooting into a ramdisk root fs so nothing would touch ebs after boot.
