Taibbi strongly insinuates in the article (and then confirms this was his intent in the comments) that the intelligence community is acting out against Trump because they do not like him, not because he is actually corrupt or because they have a duty beyond following the orders of a President.

That's a pretty strong accusation, and one he doesn't really present sufficient evidence to support here. He claims a "government-in-exile" situation without explaining who that benefits (who's in charge of the government-in-exile? Certainly not Clinton. Apparently not the Democratic party).

In essence, he appears to be buying into an illuminati-grade conspiracy that "they" don't want a Trump Presidency without a lot of support for why or how the alternative benefits them, which is irresponsible and sad coming from Taibbi. Especially since the simpler explanation - the guy with a history of corruption has done something corrupt - is at least as plausible and would necessitate the intelligence community to respond in some way (while still doing their damnedest to maintain their oaths of office in light of the Commander-in-Chief being someone they know is a crook).
>Most folks aren't bringing the "aren't you a japanophile insulting my gloriously progressive culture" angle to the table.

Wow maybe you should tone it down a bit. You've actually manage to use an ad hominem in an attempt to accuse me of the of the same. Also notice that there's another person who had the same impression I did, so if you didn't mean to leave that impression, you should probably edit your post.
If you did, then you shouldn't be upset when someone offers a counterpoint.

>Perhaps being less defensive would be more productive in the future. Sadly, I'm taking your offer to ignore you from here on out.

Except for this one last attempt to get the final word in right? If you're going to ignore me, ignore me, you don't need to keep making one last reply telling me that you're going to do it.
I suspect that's because of bad reviews. I give all crons 5 *'s.

Thank you! I've been using Moon+ Reader on my eink Android device. It works fine once you get into a book, but the ui to choose what to read requires a lot of scrolling.

The big issue I see here is the proper allocation of this earmarked funding. Would all of it go to aids research? Maybe half to aids, half to schizophrenia treatments? But then what about [insert condition here]?

The 'free' market may have a lot of perverse incentives in this environment, but I'm not sure how else you could prioritize which drug research has the most impact (without it turning into a capital sink that has severely diminishing returns due to limitations of the skilled humans necessary to do the job)

I'm still convinced the failure of Google+ was due to the throttling of people's ability to join the site.

FFS, it's a SOCIAL NETWORK. A social network is worthless if your friends can't get on it. There were so many memes at the time of people getting excited to get an invite to join Google+ only to find that out of there 50+ Facebook friends, only a couple of them were on Google+. And if your friends aren't on the network you don't get into the habit of checking your feed, and then eventually you just forget about it entirely.

It'd be nice if Facebook would implement something similar to Google+'s "Circles" feature. I'd love to be able to post some programming humor and have it only get displayed to my fellow technical friends and not clog my grandma's feed. Facebook has a way to do this, but you have to check individual people, and do it for every post.

That seems like just another prayer to a different god. As much as I would like to believe that the government is motivated by doing what is best for its people, it seems more interested in self preservation and maintaining its own power. I don't see much evidence of the government being motivated to be wise with the money we give it.

The "traditional" standard here is for strippers to obviously be employees but get called contractors to evade paperwork, taxes, and required employee benefits, which is exactly the kind of situation these new standards are intended to prevent. I don't see anything "unexpected" about the result.
I'm not sure Michael Lewis said it was so much "unfair" as it was "nonproductive". The HFT firms weren't creating any value for the markets. They weren't making markets. They weren't helping liquidity except on paper by making every trade show up as multiple trades. At the end of the day they held zero position.

The problem is that they were basically taxing everybody who couldn't build quite as close to the physical location of the servers as they could. They were just parasites.

You're the only one making proclamations, hypocritical of others for not using exact numbers you wont quote yourself and proclaiming some of the smartest engineers in the world and motor vehicle institutions must be blind hopefuls for investing their efforts in automatic driving solutions to save lives.

> I think the comparison to fusion is quite adept at this point. We can re-evaluate in 20-30 years.

Says a lot that you think unproven feasible future technology is somehow an adept strawman to actual technology that's driven over 1B miles.

Tesla's AutoPilot results for the latest Q2 2019 shows it had 1 accident per 3.27 million miles vs NTHSA's recent statistics showing 1 accident per 498k miles: https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport

The state of automation is meaningful today, it's not blind hope to presume actively developed technology will improve even more with time, it would be naive to think otherwise and suggest it needs another 20-30 years to evaluate FSD's for viability.
As much as I understand your point and share the loathe of AGPL. The spec it itself is under the the IETF copyright policy, and there is no reason why you or anyone else cant write a spec compliant server that is MIT / BSD or Apache.

I feel like Apple missed the point with this relaunch of the SE 2. We want SMALL, not necessarily inexpensive. This is just the same inefficiently large phone that pushed me to the SE to begin with. What I think most SE owners wanted was a phone the size of an old SE, but with an edge-to-edge screen and a price point around $500-600.

> “The BSC-managed clubs now have matching payroll taxes, unemployment compensation, workman’s compensation, Healthy San Francisco costs, Affordable Care Insurance costs, and SF sick leave pay for several hundred new employee entertainers in addition to the hourly wage,” he wrote.

Translation: "Our business was profitable only when we got to avoid following the same rules that all other employers have to follow." That goes for both the entertainers and the establishments.

Sounds like this is the expected result to me. In a free and fair market, price is a genuine signal of relative scarcity. CA has removed a particular factor that skewed prices in some labor markets. The result should be a correction in those markets.

Holmes does appear to be operating under the closed-world assumption: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-world_assumption
Reading the article, it seems like the primary complaint is that, since the business has to pay things like social security, payroll taxes, worker's comp, etc. that they then have to withhold this money before they pay the workers, rather than have the workers withhold this themselves?

It sounds a lot more like the complaints are "I was making $X before because I was underreporting my income, but now that the business is on the hook for all this, I'm being forced to comply and am finding that the work isn't profitable enough anymore". Which translates to me as everyone else, who was paying into all these public tax pools, was essentially subsidizing the dancers.

I guess you could argue that some of the stuff, like workman's comp, some people might want to just pocket the money that otherwise would've gone to insuring the risk of being injured on the job. Which I think is maybe irresponsible, since otherwise the burden just ends up getting shifted, again, to the general public (worker injured without worker's comp then ends up on food stamps, or ends up getting their medical debt written off, etc). So we should probably require people to directly pay into these things, like we require people to maintain liability auto insurance.

And I suppose you could also say that maybe the businesses are taking the opportunity to pocket some extra profit, but hopefully the invisible hand of the free market would compete that back down as employees and customers move around based on new pricing/comp.

"We’re thrilled that AWS, which the Rust project has used for years, is helping to sponsor Rust’s infrastructure. This sponsorship enables Rust to sustainably host infrastructure on AWS to ship compiler artifacts, provide crates.io crate downloads, and house automation required to glue all our processes together. These services span a myriad of AWS offerings from CloudFront to EC2 to S3. Diversifying the sponsorship of the Rust project is also critical to its long-term success, and we’re excited that AWS is directly aiding this goal." https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/aws-promotional-cred...
Most -- nearly all -- benchmarking tools like this work from a normality assumption, i.e. assume that results follow the normal distribution, or is close to it. Some do this on blind faith, others argue from the CLT that "with infinite samples, the mean is normally distributed, so surely it must be also with finite number of samples, at least a little?"

In fact, performance numbers (latencies) often follow a heavy-tailed distribution. For these, you need a literal shitload of samples to get even a slightly normal mean. For these, the sample mean, the sample variance, the sample centiles -- they all severely underestimate the true values.

What's worse is when these tools start to remove "outliers". With a heavy-tailed distribution, the majority of samples don't contribute very much at all to the expectation. The strongest signal is found in the extreme values. The strongest signal is found in the stuff that is thrown out. The junk that's left is the noise, the stuff that doesn't tell you very much about what you're dealing with.

I stand firm in my belief that unless you can prove how CLT applies to your input distributions, you should not assume normality.

And if you don't know what you are doing, stop reporting means. Stop reporting centiles. Report the maximum value. That's a really boring thing to hear, but it is nearly always statistically and analytically meaningful, so it is a good default.

Well, Shkreli was an easy target:

1) he repeatedly took us for saps. "People are angry at me because I'm raising the price of this drug when most of them will still pay the same $20 copay". Except we're paying for the full cost of the drug. The fact that the cost is "invisible" because it comes out of our insurance pool was the issue, and he genuinely acted victimized because people could see past that.

2) On at least one occasion, he/his company opposed FDA approval of a new drug. Not on the basis that there was risk/danger/issues of efficacy, indeed, the new drug was less risky and more efficient. It just didn't belong to his company. i.e. if you thought re-patenting drugs was bad, this guy was literally doing the things the worst "Big Pharma conspiracy theorists" were saying - opposing the introduction of new, better drugs for no reason other than "threat to corporate profit".
Would the C level executives give back the money they made when pushing the companies into their death? If not, it’s not their problem. The argument against short term incentives is not limited to pharmaceuticals.

I like Linux, Mac and Windows for different reasons and dislike them for different reasons as well. Where one falls short the other excels. And so on. But if I were to pick only one, it would have to be Windows. Pick two, it would be Windows and Linux; Only thing I like about Mac is the overall quality of their apps. Several of them are unmatched in Windows and specially in Linux;

Just seeing the shortest shadow doesn't tell you anything. You need a way to correlate it to your position on Earth. Having a watch (set to a known time zone) only tells you what time it happened, which is also pretty useless. You need an almanac (or some computation) to correlate what time solar noon happened on a given day with your longitude.
Yes, it's an implementation of the paper they're referencing - "An Efficient Unbounded Lock-Free Queue for Multi-core Systems". And they've build a framework around it (all queues implemented using this structure). Their benchmarks shows improvement (as shown in their paper). Might be interesting to use that in Rust.
But what I miss is a benchmark for various approaches (in Rust, C++ etc.) with trying to use multi core effectively. What I found is that some of the papers use https://parsec.cs.princeton.edu/overview.htm. Probably still better that what we have now - "X nanosec per push/pop".

Easily my biggest issues with any inflatable item I've ever purchased.

You'll never get it back into the box it came in, and you're folding is almost always going to be awful. Like trying to fold a fitted sheet before watching that one youtube video/someone who knows how to do it. If a leak appears I just consider it a lost cause, I don't think I've ever fixed a leak in an inflatable item that I was sure would allow me to use it confidently.
China is actually a mixed economy where it's half state sanctioned and half corporately so. The state half keeps the corporate half in check and under control. The state also sets quotas and goals from a top-down perspective to be met in a form of market competition.

The US is increasingly having its state functions be privatized and placed in control of private corporations.

The end goal of both societies/economic systems is economic growth. The Chinese wants rapid industrialization of the entire country while the Americans want to maximize shareholder/investor value and reduce government deficit and spending.
