Ask HN: What is wrong with this? (How the Greek economy bailout works)
It is a slow day in a little Greek Village. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night. The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel. The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the taverna. The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit. The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note. The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town. No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism. And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the bailout package works.

they ultimately don't believe IQ is highly
heritable, which it is

I don't think anybody sane questions that, but what people are saying and that studies so far have confirmed ...

1) small variations in IQ tests don't matter, like for example the difference between 120 and 140 being negligible and depends a lot on external factors, like rest, vitamins in your blood-stream and mood ... give a person several IQ tests over a period of time and he'll score differently every single time

2) you can increase your IQ score with a certain amount of points just by making your brain work harder. Physical exercises work too (professional athletes are above average)

Ultimately the most common complaint is that intelligence (while hereditary) is not something you can accurately measure and that IQ tests are inherently not reliable.
Moratti likely to re-sign Balotelli

I don't agree with you. With AJAX you still have to GET, fetch, pause, and render. The only difference is the amount of data transmitted. Battlelog is transmitting layout and data the first time. Afterwards it is transmitting data only, but still needs rendering on the client side.
When your website has little layout-data the overhead is marginal.

So I don't know what a 10-page forum has to do with it. I can render a 10-page forum in ~100ms without Javascript. It all depends on server-time and layout-data.

Maybe you should tell PG this site is years behind ;)

Wouldn't a contract solve this? In terms of being able and willing to sue if they start taking liberties, I'm more than willing to do this, although knowing the two founder personalities I don't see this being that big an issue.

I note your point about being hand-off. It's something I didn't consider earlier. The question of "what if they decide to quit/change direction to one that sucks?" is something I missed and will consdier further.

The main issue I have is with me taking 20% of the current company, what are the methods I need to look out for that future investors can screw me down to 0% equity?

The author seems to miss the obvious point of why people don't "upgrade" to Windows 7 -- vastly increased hardware requirements. Many of the XP installations running today are on hardware that is either barely sufficient to run Windows 7, providing a degraded experience, or completely incapable of running it. Therefore, a Windows 7 upgrade in most of these cases means a hardware upgrade that it appears those folks have determined isn't worth the cost.

Operators are just names.

When you're writing very abstract code that operates on abstract structures -- there's often no name that conveys the meaning. English and maths don't have names for every useful abstraction and abstract concept.

Instead of inventing some arbitrary name in English, you invent some arbitrary name as an operator, and that gives you infix syntax (often desirable for binary operators) and a recognizable visual signature.

Also, operators can greatly enhance readability, if you know a certain convention. Consider for example a vector library:

There are various arithmetic operators -- and those can be applied on scalars and vectors. Ordinary arithmetic operators operate on scalars. If < is prepended on the left side of the operator, then the left argument is a vector, and similarly with > on the right side. This makes it easy to immediately know what <+> means, vs what *> means, and so forth.

I've seen the math in another discussion in another forum, and it's actually sensible to turn away gay people. From their point of view the goal is to get as many blood donations as possible, while minimizing the risk of disease. They couldn't give a f*ck about anything else.

Couldn't find all the numbers I was looking for, but it turns out 61% of infections in US are through male-to-male sexual contact. This probably translates into over 60% of HIV carriers being male and gay.

Now, if I was a guy in a position to decide things, and I could reduce by more then half the risk of HIV in transfused blood by reducing the donation pool by 7-10%... I'd do it in a heartbeat.

If you have some time you could try to calculate how many more people would get HIV if gay people would donate blood. You could subtract the people who wouldn't die because of the increase blood supply. But the result would still be positive.

The point of the whole blood donation thing is not to be politically correct, but to solve a problem. Making it politically correct, in this particular case, would mean solving the problem worse, possibly significantly worse then if we just let them do their jobs.
Personally I think it's just a matter of luck.

> the high point of [painting and sculpture] was reached during the point of pure abstraction

On what criteria do you base this assessment? What’s an example of “pure” abstraction? Do e.g. the impressionists make the cut, or are they too representational to be part of the “high point”? What about Rodin?
The Android market passes sales tax responsibility to the developer? I hadn't realized that; that sounds absolutely ridiculous. How do small developers cope with it at all?

Yep, the iOS app store is effectively a publisher; the only tax complexities involved are countries which practice withholding (the US and Japan, in particular; unless you register with their tax authorities they withhold a percentage, even for countries with which they have tax treaties), and special treatment of royalties in some countries.
Another someone saying it 'works for them'? They talk specifically about avoiding hitting disk; shame they don't talk explicitly about if reliability means anything to them and the patterns they use and how they'd deal with losing a node or other data loss. Inquiring mongoskeptics want to know ;)

I think there's potentially lots of reasons why a high IQ would lead to drug/alcohol use.

Stress for me is a killer, by Friday night if I've had a hard week I'm either wishing I still had a pot dealer or I'm hitting up the liquor store for some whiskey.

Similarly high IQ is linked to depression, again likely for a mix of reasons from social isolation (aka being smarter than everyone) and having a greater ability for introspection into ones life (aka I could have done more with my life, etc.). Depression is often a major factor in alcoholism and drug abuse.

The question I wonder is does a high IQ predetermine what drugs a person is going to use. Smart people I've noticed seem to target pot and hallucinogenics. It always seems to be the idiots and suggestibles that end up with the heroin addiction.

From the article I get the impression that there were large jumps between each version of the Z series - is that incorrect? Because, to me, iteration means small amounts of refinement to a product. The examples you give, especially the PlayStation controller, are excellent examples of small refinements to an existing product.

The bigger flaw is that there is lack of economic incentive to continue to donate computing power to keep the network running. At the current exchange rates and bitcoin mining yield it cannot even pay for the energy cost.

As it stands today just around $300K worth of hardware (I cannot quite recall the reference off top of my head) is needed to be able to "out-compute" the existing network and introduce a corrupted / compromised version of the block that everyone will accept as real.

That's not to mention that the transactions are not anonymous and just pseudonymous, which means if your identity is somehow disclosed (anytime in the future) all your bitcoin dealings are going to be completely public for anyone to see and use against you.

Distributed crypto-currencies may have a future, but it would require a lot of work to make them viable.
Yes, but I wouldn't really spend my time optimizing for the case where I end up with 100% of nothing if I were you.
Yes, but if one has recent test results showing that he's not infected, blindly turning him down anyway makes no sense.
"It always seems to be the idiots and suggestibles that end up with the heroin addiction."

I know it's so tempting to just classify a certain class of people as undesirables based on what drugs they prefer or what their skin color is, but that's not smart.
At the time they were approached by MS they still had some contracts with MS for MS-devices...so I imagine MS stated license or loose our business..and remember fighting a trivial patent is not easy as far as costs are concerned or the recovery of said costs in a court award..

The problem for me is about how we input something in the machine. iPad, Kindle, etc. are wonderful for consuming content, and this can probably be done efficiently enough with touchscreen interfaces. But producing content is one important part of the deal (specially for guys like Tufte), and in this activity the physical grain of the interface become prominent.

In my dream, I would have a phone-like thing, small enough to fit in my pocket. I would be able to put it on a flat surface and two laser rays would draw a rectangle were I would be able to draw or write. What I draw would be projected on the surface by the laser in real-time, so I'd have the feedback that is missing on electronic draw-pads. With this we would go back to hand-writing for most of us, and it would be possible to have a keyboard drawn on the surface and use fingers. The haptic feedback is the hard part, but I think laser can't "touch" you so I don't see how to do it.

Upvoted, even though you're wrong.

You seem to be saying, in essence: allowing gays to donate doubles the number of instances of transfusing HIV while only increasing the number of lives saved by 7-10% (or 20%, or 2% - it doesn't matter). But that's the wrong way to look at it. Even if 10% of all transfusions from gays resulted in an additional HIV infection (thanks to testing etc., I'd guess it'd be well below 1%), that still means that, for any given transfusion candidate, you have a 90% possibility of saving their life without transfusing HIV.

Companies that properly implement service oriented architectures will be very well positioned to create these advanced web applications that push the computational cost of rendering the UI to the client machines. An added benefit that many overlook is the ability to execute on mobile strategies. I do not buy the idea that mobile applications will one day all be html based. Client-based applications will always produce a richer, more integrated experience. But, if you have already designed your html application to function more like a rich client. You already have the api calls that any other mobile, or desktop application would need. You have forced yourself to design the back-end based on services that encapsulate a good amount of business logic that will not have to be repeated when implementing the different "views" of your application.

Someone on 4chan(I know)wrote a comment similar to yours regarding suicide, saying that "If you're willing to give up your life and kill yourself, your life is now yours and the world is your oyster." The comment was hotly debated on Reddit, and one school of thought shared among a large set of people was that this way of thinking is absolutely false. A person who is so unwilling to go through life that they would consider taking it isn't going to be able to just pack his stuff and go to Africa - the depression has set in so badly that they can't even get out of bed to face the day. These people feel their suffering is so great that others would be better off if that person weren't around so that they didn't have to suffer because of him.

Of course it's different for everyone, but it's easy to say "Sell your possessions and go forth" - not everyone can do it though, being not willing or able.
I took the same number of tests (4) over a period of 7 years and the minimum I got was 119, while the maximum was 140. Clearly this has some significance, as over 100 you're definitely at least average, over 130 you're definitely gifted, while below 80 you're definitely challenged.

However, my point was that small variations are not significant. Also, the correlation between IQ scores and intelligence in general is highly debatable - and that's what people are arguing about.
