It's different shorting when you have to put up so much capital to short all at once. To give you an idea, on future exchanges in the United States, you have to put up a 90% maintenance margin, compared to other commodities that allow you to maintain 40%.

Options not being written is another factor.

Pushing transactions into sidechains helps free the main network from congestion.

So while it may not be technically true that the main network's capabilities have changed, users should see massive improvements.
Okay that is good to hear there is a way to negate this impact for those who it is beneficial.
This is a rather perfectionist point of view, implying that our current day-to-day contracts are perfect and don’t have loopholes. Why do smart contracts have to be written perfectly to be usable by people.

In the end, what’s perfect in the world around us? Big banks fail and lose people’s savings, cars break and cause deaths and it has’t stopped people from adopting these on a large scale and keep on improving them.
Drag along clauses exist but typically require that the stock gets paid for, if you're going to play tricks with multiple stock classes you can find yourself in awkward positions when you wish to screw the 'lower classes'.
I'm not sure I'm following your points. You're moving back and forth between enormous historical and current problems and sweeping the platitudinal meat under the rug.

It's easy to point to those problems and say,"Yeah, but this is nowhere near what it used to be!". If a global, location and interests tracking system looks like a duck, then it's probably a duck.

So, you believe that Minsk jail looks like Osvencim and populated with Gestapo cops then? I don't need opposition journalists to tell that his story full of shit, I can see misconceptions myself. F.e. he claims that you not allowed to read books in jail and I know for a fact it's not true.

What I think happened, after he was released by Azerbaijan he decided to make as much profit out of this story by generated hype as possible. And wrote the fairy-tale about this jail. Don't get me wrong, those jails are bad, but things that he says in the story are simply not true.

Jails are bad in any country, read here about American jails if you think Belarusian jail is bad:

$30k income, single, no kids.
$52k income, single, 2 kids.
$75k income, single, no kids.
$85k income, married, 2 kids.
$165k income, married, 2 kids.
...

That's the kind of stuff people are looking for, right? The $165k entry is two earners - all of these are fairly realistic examples.

Those of you that think that something is missing from these examples - what do you think is missing? I mean, the low income earners even see a break. $30k income, single, no kids, and living in California goes from a federal tax bill of $2426 to $1970. (according to http://taxplancalculator.com/ )

It appears you missed my point. I can't think of a 100kloc f# or Haskell codebase, so even if they were 10x as terse as python, which they aren't, python comes out ahead. If they're so much better, why don't people use them?

Exactly. You get a higher salary, but everything costs more. And the government takes a larger percentage of your salary.

GetSecurityInfo() will return you the effective set of permissions/owners. Good enough for a single file, inefficient for the complete hierarchy.

To backup the complete C:\Users directory to be restored later on the same PC, I’d use specially-designed APIs for that, BackupRead/BackupWrite.

See this article for an overview: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa3...

That article was written in the assumption that you’ll be using a real hardware tape for backups, but you can backup to any other place.

This will handle file data (including alternative NTFS streams) and file security, but you need to handle file names, file attributes, and timestamps somewhere outside of that. And TAR format can’t quite fit all that info. File names in TAR are limited to 100 characters, there’s only 1 timestamp in TAR but NTFS has 3, resolution of TAR timestamp is 1 second but NTFS keeps 100 nanoseconds, finally there’s no place to keep file attributes. I wouldn’t pick TAR format for that kind of backups.

Also note that NTFS hard links and EFS encrypted files both need special care to backup.
again these have nothing to do with banking and money itself
Because you can't establish any gradient information from the design variables (antenna topology) to the objective function (i.e. antenna gain). So most of the time you might end up climbing towards some wrong direction (i.e. local optima).

I've had a case that caused disk performance to drop because the memory correctable errors rose above a server BMC threshold.

Turned out that the BMC beeped the internal speaker which vibrated the chassis at the right harmonic frequency that matches the HDD sensitivity spot and reduced performance. After that we disconnected the speaker on all servers.

The overall nose may impact the HDD performance but mostly if the vibration is at the right frequencies. Some are a lot more important than others.
What is Bitcoin supposed to be worth? The only way to determine true value is to go through these phases of price expansion and contraction until equilibrium is reached.

What the bubble callers miss is that in the middle of a bubble, only cranks call bubble.

The opposite is the case now. Every other armchair investor (and their ivory tower counterparts) is calling bubble now: on Bitcoin; on stocks; on bonds.

Here's how to identify a real bubble. The conventional wisdom says go all in on a single asset. If you don't, you will get rekt. The only people who disagree with this position are cranks.

That's a bubble. It happened in 1999 with stocks and it happened in 2007 with real estate.

No asset is in a bubble at the moment based on this definition because the conventional wisdom is against all of them.
and because he says it, its the truth and finally HN can say I told you so it's a bubble!
I developed plantar fasciitis in both feet after a year of standing only (using a pad on the floor). I switched to a drafting stool to help clear it up. One heel got better after a couple of months but the other one took about six months to clear up.

I just started standing again, but I will be switching between sitting and standing to avoid getting plantar fasciitis again. I do enjoy (and actually prefer) standing. I also noticed my posture improving when I work while standing.
It's in C, offers POSIX, and apparently a big-kernel OS. Looks like another Unix-type OS. Why?

A good portion of these points involve "integrate into the mathematical exposition methods of your time" and become useless as exposition methods change. If blackboards are supplanted by digital whiteboard that autoerase or autoscroll, exposition may different - slide techniques would be useful to include.

Another portion involve the "exposition culture" - that the greatest of a given mathematician still has to interface with mathematics proper (or at the limit, a mathematician who is "outre", "out-there", may publish a theorem and have mathematics simply throws up it's hands as happened with ABC theorem - at least so far). Essentially, have a strategy that lets you keep working on the hard stuff but without getting entirely lost on it.

But I think the really cool parts involve rules of thumb for going through life and solving a few hard, important problems. This reminds me of Andrew Wiles talking about the problem that really, really smart math grad students have when confronted with problems that they can't solve in 24 hours.

Edit: and naturally, it's worth noting that exposition method and culture are important for anyone also working on hard problems since knowing the "smell" of good or bad proofs is crucial if one is going forward towards a really big proof - see the point that most good proofs can survive a little bit of error.

My understanding is you have an automatic copyright on the code you create. When you share you can optionally grant a license BSD etc. to let people use that code subject to X. So the code subject is owned.
The inverse may be true, that Breitbart's readership may skew poorer than cable news or traditional print media, but poorer people in general probably don't read much news, so an argument that the average income of reader base affects the framing of the coverage probably isn't accurate. Most of Breitbart traffic comes from social media and is optimized for engagement, a la buzzfeed.

Home security with the possibility of secret 24/7 video/audio monitoring by a corporation is not an Amazon invention.

It's more that it hasn't been as affordable to the masses.

The occasional package being nicked isn't sufficient for me to give my home a James Bond/MI6 style upgrade.

Unless you're living in the wrong part of the world, you're paying for anxiety medication, not security (a package in the open but monitored by camera can still be nicked, so it's not secure).

Personally, I prefer a bong rip and shot of scotch for anxiety.
I guess it depends on how you see it. In the past, the system may have fluctuated less, but the bottoms went very low; the current economy (which is broader than "the market") may fluctuate more, but it's also better at providing a predictable baseline.

In my European country, even less than a century ago, it was unpredictable for large swaths of the population whether they'd have enough to eat to survive next year. That's not true for the vast majority nowadays.

> Over the years, I've come to believe that using a hanging indent for alignment is actually better in terms of readability as opposed to aligning at a column after the opening parenthesis, brace, or bracket. It's also easier to type as well even if the editor doesn't provide an auto-indent facility (or if it's not configured correctly for some reason) since you only have to press TAB the same number of times to correctly position each formal parameter in the function definition.

> As a side benefit, it also takes care of any alignment issues regardless of whether one uses tabs or spaces.

That’s exactly what I said.

> Another benefit of doing this is that it makes a unified diff and side-by-side diffs easier to read.

Until you rewrap and it adds noise to the diff. I recommend a combined word/line diff instead.

Concatenation also hides whitespace problems. Not a serious error, but a very common one.

They see a break, but it isn't a structurally meaningful one. $500 is certainly short-term beneficial when you are making $30K--it is not enough, by at least an order of magnitude, to create long-term benefits, even if the knock-on effect of those tax cuts was not to ensure that the person making $30K a year ends up spending more than that $500 poorly replicating the government services that will be cut to pay for the top end of it.

Even setting aside all that, that these tax cuts are functionally useless except as a transfer of wealth to monied interests, they expire in ten years besides. It's a more complex problem than what a calculator can really express without losing the ability to give a Nice Shiny Number out the other end.

I moved to NYC a year ago and have the same basic feeling as you. Could the subway be improved? Obviously! But New Yorkers don't realize how good they have it compared to the rest of the U.S. [0] If a train takes 10 minutes, they're annoyed. Meanwhile, scheduled headways of 20 minutes are the norm where I'm from -- on the one light rail line that goes through the center of town.

My daily experience on the NYC Subway is that it's an incredible marvel. [1]

[0] There was even an article on r/nyc earlier this year about how New York shouldn't get Amazon's HQ2 based on the access to transit requirement. The article argued that the transit is too bad here. That's -- that's so absurd as to be almost beyond belief.

[1] An enormous caveat here: I can walk or bike to work. I do use the subway at peak hours fairly frequently, but I'm not reliant on it or held hostage by it, as many others are.
> lowest common denominator on feautures

That's pretty much standard behavior in the mobile world. Services and activities are made available and the app petitions the OS to access those "lowest common denominator features".

Although you've decided to reffer to it in disdain, it's also a very basic principle in software design.

>geometric increase in bugs

Only if you believe that developing and maintaining specialized programs somehow increases the bug count "geometrically".
It does take time and effort to find the new one though, and if that isn't enough to dissuade continued piracy, there are plenty of impostors that always arise serving fake files and real malware that act as a follow-on deterrent.

Nothing's going to stop a teenager with no income and unlimited time from seeking out the new iteration, but when it's easy and obvious enough for my tech-illiterate and impatient mother-in-law to pirate movies, any action taken to rock the boat (domain seizures, C&Ds to subscribers, etc.) does have an impact.
Hmm. So are market makers only ever effecting instantaneous matches?

I was under the impression they often held some portion of the asset between buy-sell or sell-buy in order to increase liquidity.

He’s such a glorious troll.
The reason the articles focus on families ranging from the median up is because the vast majority of people below the median income don't pay federal income taxes. [1] The bottom 40% actually have a negative effective federal tax rate. So going from 0% to 0% isn't exactly informative. The title of this submission (originally Please Don't Show Us Another “Typical Family Earning $270,000 a Year” in case it is changed) is misleading. The $270k number references another article [2] that looks at a wide array of different possible income groups. The lowest it goes is a married couple with one child earning $40k as their effective rate goes from 1.29% to -1%. Nowhere is it ever stated or even implied that $270k is a typical family.

It’s like the family from “Home Alone”. When you think about it, they’re really rich.
Most everyone will get a break. There is a weird crunch for people making between $200K and $400K in a high tax state like CA or NY who will come out behind due to the loss of deduction on their property tax and state tax, and since they live in CA or NY, are probably barely middle class at those wages.

The bigger issue is that, for example, the Walton family alone will get 5% of the 1.5 trillion dollar tax break. The Trump family will get a huge break too. It's unlikely that the Walton family or the Trump family will suddenly start making a ton of economic activity because of their windfalls, but in the meantime government revenue is down, which means they have to start cutting services.

So most of the tax breaks for the lower earners will be eaten up over the next few years in paying for things the government used to subsidize for them.

"There was a catch, though: This symbolic abstraction made the world transparent but the brain opaque. Once everything had been reduced to information governed by logic, the actual mechanics ceased to matter—the tradeoff for universal computation was ontology. ... anything and everything … can be done by an appropriate mechanism, and specifically by a neural mechanism—and that even one, definite mechanism can be ‘universal.’ Inverting the argument: Nothing that we may know or learn about the functioning of the organism can give, without ‘microscopic,’ cytological work any clues regarding the further details of the neural mechanism.”

Complaining that rich benefit disproportionately from tax cuts while ignoring the negligible taxes paid by those under median income is politics as usual. It is the opposite side of the "fair share" argument when demanding more hand outs be paid by those with more money than the writer.
It's the kind of thing that isn't obvious at present, at least given most discussions of money, equities, and wealth. But with a different economic paradigm, some of things concepts become more obvious. Henry George was commenting on precisely this some 140 years ago:

The people I knew who dealt drugs had terrible judgement and repeatedly ended up in jail for stupid shit like getting in fights or trying to intimidate a police officer. I would not put my life in the hands of a person like that.

It's not even that their actions are immoral, it's that their judgement is so poor that you cannot depend on them behaving in their own long-term interest.

Maybe online dealers are different, but I would always worry it's just the same idiots behind a new anonymous account.
I would not be against all salaries being public, like with public employees or in some European country that I forget. I've been paid from the high $30s to the low $80s for the exact same responsibilities. It can be a bad thing, in my mind, to be overpaid as well, because someone who is willing to overpay is possibly (a) incompetent, (b) compensating for a bad environment, and/or (c) has unrealistic/impossible expectations. So even if you have been or expect to be overpaid, I think there could be benefits to transparency.
