This is untrue. It encodes the US's broken anti-circumvention law on the global stage, which restricts our ability to freely trade with eachother. There are gains from trade and the TPP should not be used to stop them.
Unfortunately, that does work in most cases. I'm curious what the success rates would be if all zithromax (?) prescriptions were replaced with sugar pills. I've gotten that drug many times for what may or may not have been strep or bronchitis.
There are three plays by Tom Stoppard about Herzen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coast_of_Utopia

I saw them last year and I remember finding the subject matter daunting because it was so much complex material and still represented such an abbreviated, high-level view of his life and times!

Also, there's a huge amount of tragedy there.
Does the free market really solves everything best?
Did it solve Pi for very large number of decimal digits? Fermat's Last Theorem?
Do you consult the free market when you want to decide what to do tomorrow?

This maximalist position is crazy. Our experience shows that there are some things which are most efficiently solved by the (mostly) free market, but nobody managed to conclusively prove that the free market (and which type of free market is that anyway?) solves everything. That's the point where Libertarianism shifts from an ideology to a religion.
> Whether it's understandable doesn't matter

There is a wide chasm between provably misleading and confusion or lack of information on the readers' side. That's why those communications are regulated, afaik.

> I'm sure there already are laws that prevent/penalize sellers from conning people.

Right, laws and regulations.

1) My point above was that the legal analysts said that the new corporate free speech rights, which the Supreme Court said were Constitutional rights (if I understand correctly), might invalidate those laws.

2) If you look at the recent history of Wall Street fraud, which among other things was the cause of the 2008 Great Recession, those laws and regulations haven't been effective enough.
But in contrast with radio, everyone can easily become a global speaker.

I think that was the case; I wasn't sure enough to name it though.

Actually, I used to think this, but I believe it's the other way around. IIRC, the standard says that the `()` operator takes a function pointer before it, and then arguments between the `()`. So when directly calling a function, the name of the function decays into a function pointer which is then used to call the function. Obviously, when you call a function directly a function pointer is not involved internally (The address is just used directly), but the standard still expresses it in that way to make the usage/syntax consistent.

That said, it is possible to see that the function name itself decays into a pointer and isn't a pointer itself. `sizeof(function)` does not return the size of a function pointer, but `sizeof(fptr)` does.

Interesting, function-pointers have the property that they deference to themselves. So `fptr` and `* fptr` are the same thing, as is `* * * * * * fptr` (And also `&fptr`). And since they are the same thing, the `(* fptr) (arg)` syntax works as expected. Personally, I actually prefer to use the `(* fptr) (arg)`, simply because it makes usage of a function pointer clear, but the * really is unnecessary so the benefits are debatable.

The `(* fptr) (arg)` syntax also keeps the "declaration follows usage" pattern intact, since function pointers have to be declared using the * .
I have been using takezoe/gitbucket for a while now and have been happy with it , gitea seems to be the new kid on the block :), its also impressive to note that DigitalOcean has sponsored their hosting. One advantage I see with Gitea is that it uses Go and this will give it the power of scaling. Congratulations to the team and I look forward to the evolution of gitea
Or, you know, they could develop trade deal without all the secrecy and bullshit?

When the government has been lying to you for years about domestic spying, among other things, how do you expect them to follow you blindly on another deal made in the dark?

This country is going to go into chaos in the next ~10-25 years as more and more jobs are automated, unemployment skyrockets, and people refuse to give free money to all the "entitled white heroin users in the Rust Belt." Notwithstanding the effects of global warming ramping up.

Except because of the elitism we get to start this period with Donald Trump at the helm instead of someone at least half sane.
It sounds like he's dealing with his mistrust (the leak story) by talking around how he sees the media as being effectively evil. I suspect he wants a pledge from the Intelligence Agency that they will be With Him instead of With Them. It sounds paranoid to me.

He behaves like a narcissist. Google "child of narcissist parent" articles for how that plays out and you will see parallels to the general public's befuddlement resulting from his speeches.
From this website: http://seqclinic.com/chinese_medicine.html

Historically, a Chinese Medicine doctor was paid a
retainer to keep their patients healthy. If a patient
became sick, the doctor would not be paid until the
patient’s health returned. In a similar vein, a doctor
that resorted to surgery was considered an inferior
doctor. If he/she did their job correctly and helped
their clients stay healthy, there would be no need to
perform surgery.

Perhaps the current incentive for drug companies is the problem. They don't care if we stay healthy (which is what we all want), they only treat illness. In fact you could argue it's in the best interest of drug companies to keep us sick!

Maybe there's an alternative way to fund them, or an alternative way to deal with infections in the first place.
> Is Comcast the only company hiring people? If you don't get a job with Comcast you get a job with a different company

The reality is, the job market is not that liquid. That's why people are terrified of losing their job.
I don't think it's "appears to have been" at this point. Python 3 was released in 2008. Python 3 is now older than Python 2 was on the day Python 3 was released.
This is really good. I might actually find myself using FF more now. Chrome supports multiple profiles but it's quite tedious make the switch(you'd need to create multiple accounts). The best solution that I'd been using was opening an incognito session, regular session, guest session(easier than having multiple profiles but hardly sufficient when you want many more separate sessions).

Edit: I love the color coding feature that distinguishes the distinct containers you have open.
"If it had such incredible benefits, perhaps people should have talked about those."

The problem was that nobody saw any need to make the case to the people. They thought they were in charge, and the people had to remind them otherwise.
I didn't hear that argument from either the left (bernie - corporations) or right (rust belt voters who barely understand email). only some small online subset of tech savvy users.

They probably do have such guidelines internally, and totally different and arbitrary ones for FOIA.
That's the logical extreme, but that is not what free market economists actually say. The GP is accurate.

The free market is a great tool, but no tool is universal.

Why are we more concerned that we stick to an ideology - it's treated as a fundamentalist religion, treated as the solution to every problem and something with which any disagreement or deviation must be shot down - and not the people who are rich or poor, safe or suffering, educated or not, healthy or not, etc.
Indeed, but this just "democratically" turns everyone into a speaker. The point of this passage is not that we need more speakers and less listeners, the point is that media which encourage the speaker-listener dichotomy are inherently authoritarian.

Obviously, this is not identical, but many of the same principles are in play. You can argue around the edges of who understood exactly who was getting what data but I pretty much guarantee you the bulk of the people didn't know exactly what they had just done then, either.

I also do not mean this as a partisan attack, because everyone's gonna do it, and do it better every election cycle, until something major stops them. In 2012 it was widely believed the Republicans simply had no good digital ground game, so I can't really link you to articles about theirs, or I would. And I'm having a hard time imagining what will stop this, short of total internet collapse.
Free Software Foundation shakes up its list of priority projects
It's a good question, but I think the answer is no [err, re-reading your question I mean yes... thought it asked whether they did more harm than good]. Consider that you have a population of developers. Some of them are willing to break the law and cause highly probable harm (if only monetary) to someone else. Some are not. Those who are willing are motivated exactly as much whether there is a bug bounty program or not. Those who are not willing are motivated some amount (whether small or large, it is nonzero) by the existence of a bug bounty program to have a look and to turn over the information rather than sell or use it.

So, on the balance, you are increasing motivation for people who are not willing to harm for cash while leaving the motivation of the willing unchanged. I would be tempted to argue that it is flat out unwise to NOT run a bug bounty program, although it would be much smarter to offer larger bounties. I could make an argument for bounties exceeding the projected amount the vulnerability would be worth on the black market, I think, but that's a different subject.
Personally, I don't care for their choice of names. Hopefully the browser will allow an arbitrary number of containers and customization of their names.
So I kinda understand, but at the same time don't understand the point of articles like this.

"Ha ha, Trump didn't do all those awful things that he said he would on the very first day!" Shouldn't that make people who are against Trump happy?

I know, I know, the point is that people who are apparently smart but don't understand the concept of hyperbole can say "LOL Trump lied again, he said he'd do all this stuff on day one but he didn't until day three, you Trump voters got taken for a ride!"
Web design is dead
You're forgetting one of the two major disadvantages of SaaS repos (and software in general):

2. You are at the mercy of someone else when there are issues to fix quickly.

This is a global health crisis waiting to happen. Incentives need to be created for pharma to create many new broad spectrum antibiotics. Longer patents, financial or tax incentives, even subsidies, whatever it takes.

I would read "buffaloing" somebody as a less vulgar version of bullshitting, which is also a way of lying about something, mostly to get them to buy something they don't actually need.
There may be a lot of antibiotics present in the soil which haven't been exploited yet because it's hard to grow in the lab the organisms which produce them. However techniques are being developed to circumvent this problem and here's an early discovery:

Hopefully other and fundamentally newer ways to fight infection will be found. In the mean time getting fit and healthy now seems like a slightly wiser choice than it already was.
Phage therapy is expensive and time consuming, unique to each patient and bacteria.

It'd be a tool, but not a broad solution.
Well that's how the "Trump is such a liar" stuff works. Take everything he says 100% literally with no wiggle room and wow, look at all those promises he broke. He said he'd do this the first day, it's actually the second day! What a complete fraud this guy is!
That last sentence is just great advice in general. Kudos.

There is no proof when you include this vague reassessment of the data.
The fork should be called "Lython" as in Legacy Python.
You must be new to open source.

This is how it is suppose to work, and many times BOTH projects will be stronger for it.

Prime example is the Split and then merge of NodeJS and IOJS because of that fork NodeJS is much stronger project today.
I don't think that's a very good point. In order for people to be willing to pay the ever-rising costs for the best drugs they are going to have to work, drug companies aren't going to make much money once they've lost the trust of their customers. Perhaps the funding is problematic in one way or another but I doubt it's in drug companies' best interest to keep us sick.
Funny, but jokes aside, I found the NLP to be quite impressive / accurate.

I put the following phrase

> I nut on my girlfriends face.

and the parser correctly tagged 'nut' as a VBP (i.e. Verb, non­-3rd Person Singular resent) i.e. that 'nut' in this context is a verb, and not a noun.

Here's what the tagging returned (all words with tags)

I/PRP nut/VBP on/IN my/PRP$ girlfriends/JJ face/NN ./.

Tag Descriptions: http://stackoverflow.com/a/1833718/325521
My undergraduate research used Stanford Parser for getting word tags in a sentence before calculating its similarity with another sentence. Stanford Parser results are good, but it fails in some sentences. If you need a better alternative than this (for JVM languages), I would recommend NLP4J [1].

I think the fact that the Dems ran Clinton despite more support in key demos for Bernie shows that as of right now they aren't very interested in following data if it conflicts with their other agendas.

If this trend continues and extends down to congressional elections, etc. for both parties as it is now (Republicans ready to follow data to build campaigns, Democrats playing out of an opaque narrative), this could spell bad news for the future of the American Democratic party.
That's right, but it doesn't affect the copyright length of Disney works that were first published in the US. As signatories of the Berne Convention, the countries must already apply the US's copyright terms to those Disney works.
I assure you, globalism is much more than just a talking point "boogie man", and there is plenty of very valid discussion to be had on the matter in that aspect, seing as according to the supreme law of the land in the US, the Constitution, treaties and agreements entered carry the full weight of federal law. Not a superficial point at all. Which is also why most of us paying attention realized the passing of fast-track was such a large blow to the control mechanisms for such treaties.

Whatever your viewpoint on the TPP itself, to negate criticism of it as lacking any "logical legs" is intellectually dishonest at best.
PolyAWK (by Polytron), which included a copy of this book with each unit sold (see sticker on the cover of the linked PDF), was a _favorite_ tool of mine "back in the DOS (and early Windows) days". It was IIRC developed by Thompson Automation Software[0], who later sold the software package directly. The Thompson Automation Awk package included an awesome _awk compiler_, allowing creation of standalone .EXE files (using a 32-bit DOS extender, and later a Win32 version) from 1+ awk source files. The compiler presumably generated bytecode which was bundled into the .EXE file along with a 32-bit runtime which provided data capacity sufficient for a wide range of real-world projects. Anyway, TAWK gave me a huge productivity boost for a number of years during a time when such languages were only beginning to become available on the PC platform. And the ability to create single-file standalone EXE files greatly eased distribution of the tools I created. Good times.

A centrally managed app permissions system would go a long way to improving Linux’s desktop experience. For example in Wayland, there's a huge tug-of-war going on between security minded people who don’t want keyloggers and screen capture vs average desktop users that want their old global shortcuts and screen capture/remote access apps to work.

I think a permission system like Douane’s would solve this divide.
Do you realize how infuriating your attitude is to people who prefer solitude?

I like people. I have no trouble speaking in public, making new friends, or just engaging in small talk. I enjoy it, so it comes easily.

I simply enjoy being alone more, so I often am, and there is nothing wrong with me for choosing so. Nor is there with any of the other mostly-hermits I know.

The overuse of antibiotics in large-scale animal farming is particularly terrible; many are given low doses of antibiotics as part of their food [1]. This gives bacteria lots of time and selective breeding to become resistant, and it's probably the worst thing we could do for the long-term health of humanity.

While I don't disagree with what your saying, I would point out if you want to use specific definitions they don't apply in the general case.

Abstractly, there must be some difference between 0.2 and 2 as the first is a valid output and the second is not. Otherwise when you sum [0.2,0.3] vs [2,3] you get the same probability of 0.

But, there is a trade off that can make things a little cleaner if you define the probability at 0.2 to be 0.

Well, the thing is that other extremely good firms buy drone and satellite data, and other firms also pay the top rate to extremely good people, and etc.

So either RenTech is somehow consistently wildly smarter than the rest of the industry through some completely unknown secret, or something else is up. They might be using insider information, they might have a deal with someone news firms* to get news early, they might use illegal order execution techniques. There's a whole slew of things they might be doing to get an advantage. Maybe they use funds other than Medallion (the super good one) as a testbed for strategies and deploy the really good ones to their best fund. FWIW, I don't think funds started by anybody who left there are as successful so the secrets aren't leaving.

* A friend of mine in the hft industry told an interesting story to me. A high-speed news wire was very predictive of when orders relevant to the news would get run over - except backwards in time. The news was consistently a few minutes late. So either the high-speed news wire was laughably worse than the competition or somebody was getting news early through illicit means.
"It will take decades to undo the damage from this latest bout of isolationism and protectionism."

I take issue with the assumption that these two things are either equal or synonymous, and that the latter has or will cause damage. To boil the argument down, national sovereignty is the real issue at hand, and there is plenty of nuance to be had in the discussion. Such flippant dismissal of protectionism as bad and equating it with isolationism reeks of irrationality and a lack of understanding of the bigger geopolitical and geoeconomic picture.

It's a position I see taken very often these days, but it's not one that stands up to scrutiny in my experience. I would like to say I do understand where it comes from though. It's easy to assume protectionism = isolationism, and therefor rejection of any globally focused trade agreement ergo becomes another form of isolationism, and hence from that perspective it makes sense, but even a base line academic analysis would show much more room for nuanced discussion of the subject.

Of course, that's assuming that your goal is debate or discussion conducive to finding truth in the first place, which I suspect isn't the case.
Im sorry but I find the parent very correct here. The headline is hype based. The README shows no signs of benchmarks or comparisons to define its acclaimed speed.

But to be taken seriously, it needs to be as realistic and true as possible.
We have been using Oracle as db for one of our systems.

If you are serious with your question, instead of just trying to jockey for hacker forum dominance, a very quick google search will answer your question. It is possible that I misunderstood your Q, and your tone, and if so, I apologize.

It's interesting you say that because the only group most agree is helped by HFT is retail investors, because you are getting a much better price on trades and aren't moving the market.

Edit: If you want a high level overview, there's this article: https://origin-www.bloombergview.com/articles/2016-02-25/-fl...

Or just go find spread sizes in say 1990 or 1995, notice that they are far larger.

Edit 2: Also, HFTs can't see your orders before they hit the market, despite what everyone seems to think after reading flash boys. And the idea that HFTs mostly do latency arbitrage is flat out wrong as well.
Thanks, that will be a useful tool.
