> 1) He was in favor of some government action, most notably monetary policy.[0]

Not really, he actually was in favor of privately issued competing currencies, but he was a realist and realized this was not politically possible, so he advocated monetary policies that did the least harm given the current system.

But always stressed he didn't believe all government actions were evil, he thought national defense and law enforcement for example were best accomplished by government.

On the other hand his son David Friedman is a well known anarcho-capitalist that considered the privatization of all government functions.

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure I understood the basis of why CRSF Tokens work.
This is so useful. I noticed their flexibility options are the usual +/- n days, but it would be more useful for me if there was an option to only + or - but not both. For example, let's say you want to leave on the 7th, but the 8th and 9th are doable, just less ideal because you'll have one or two days fewer to spend at your destination. With the current system you'd have to choose the 8th and then say +/- 1, which screws you over if the finders try their hardest to get the exact day you requested.

I just discovered you need to pay the finder's fee in advance. While this might get more finders to use the site because they won't be afraid of their efforts going to waste, this is going to deter a lot of customers who are still shopping around and only want to fly if they can get a better rate than they expected.

I work at Parse.ly, who's office is literally right next door to these pizza shops. Last week, when they changed their prices, I asked the owner of the Indian shop how low he'd go, and he said two very interesting things:

1. He hates two bros and wants to go low enough to make them leave the area.

2. He didn't make money from pizza even when it was priced at one dollar. The pizza barely pays for the cost of the labor to make it. So why do it at all? Because it acts as lead gen for his Indian food which has a much higher margin. He has essentially a freemium model that works to beat his competitor!

I'm less concerned about burglary than I am about big business.

I wonder how long before we start hearing stories like "My health insurance just went up 300% - when I asked why, they said I visit bars on average twice a week, I eat out at higher than average rates at restaurants ranked on the high side of increasing heart risk, I routinely travel at walking pace through high-crime areas, and I've attended 13 events at which illegal drug use has been reported."

The biggest problem in France is the lake of legal offers for anything but music, and this won't change soon for several reasons:

Because canal+ a private channel who broadcast movies only 10 month after their release is also the main financial contributor of french productions.

It's also possible and likely that in 2011 iTunes sales grew because of the increased sales of iOS devices in France, not necessarily because piracy was replaced by more purchases.

Plus, they are only tracking bittorrent - which means that half of the piracy could've shifted to other methods, as soon as they learned about the P2P monitoring program.

The book _Don't Get Taken Every Time_ helped me a lot, buying my /second/ car. I was a clueless geek buying my first, and got totally suckered.

I saw sales people as clueless and useless until I joined my first startup, whereupon we /needed/ them. Our CEO hired a sales guy, all smarmy and slimy, and that head sales guy hired a team (mostly old buddies he knew), and I saw a real sales force in action. I swear they could have sold enterprise licenses to a 'Notepad' clone, it was amazing. It didn't matter to them /what/ they sold, they just sold.
The problem is that a lot of Android devices that claim to support these specs do so in buggy and inconsistent ways. GL shaders, for instance, sometimes have to be tweaked for individual devices.

What I want you to notice, now, is how abstract every item on that checklist is.

Abstract?! They aren't abstract, some are very very concrete. If you're straight, you can get married in just about every country in the world, and, in nearly every country. If you're a straight married man, you don't have to worry about saying "my wife" in a new place.

'In 2010, the Government Accountability Office released a report noting that these figures “cannot be substantiated or traced back to an underlying data source or methodology,” which is polite government-speak for “these figures were made up out of thin air.”'

I find it _very_ hard to find any sympathy for the music or film industries having numbers and statistics bent or misused against them. These people have been getting laws enacted based on numbers they've just made up - with _clearly_ no possible basis in fact. So this article has turned the tables. About time, in my opinion.

Is it just me, or do the graphics of that game look extraordinarily similar to "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past"? I'm not saying it is a rip-off, or that creating a clone of a popular game is bad at all. But the extreme similarity is very confusing. It's not only the graphic tiles, but also the map, the characters, everything.

I use Firefox's bookmark-keyword feature. It means that I type directly into the URL bar "i cute ducky" and it matches the following bookmark:

Name: i jump
Location: https://blekko.com/ws/%s/images
Keyword: i

Thus it dynamically gets rewritten to "https://blekko.com/ws/cute%20ducky/images as it should.

As you can see, I call these "jumps" and I have a bunch of them. 'o drostie' takes me to http://www.drostie.org/ for example. 'wik Aharanov-Bohm Effect' takes me to the SSL-enabled Wikipedia pages (which used to be in a very ugly place, secure.wikimedia.org, but have now been moved to en.wikipedia.org like you'd expect). There's "def" to define a word, "ety" to look up its etymology, "ark" to look something up in the Wayback Machine, and of course, "s" to search. I like the idea of verbs in my URL bar.

Cardio Health
Epxbody Cardio supplies your body with two vital amino acids, L-Arginine and L-Citrulline. The first triggers cellular production of Nitric Oxide. Increased levels of this tiny “miracle molecule” provide many of the health benefits of Epxbody Cardio. This process produces multiple beneficial health effects, including reduced stress on the heart, lowered blood pressure, improved circulation, and reduced plaque in blood vessels. It has been called the "miracle molecule" ever since the publishing of three UCLA doctors' work that won them the Nobel Prize in 1998.

You can see a prototype of an open system for this sort of thing here: http://www.youhavedownloaded.com/ . (Actually, that site is pretty interesting to visit if you're on a friend's WiFi or at an airport or internet cafe -- I just found out that, from this WiFi point, someone downloaded The Lion King in December 2011.)

But yeah. Pretty much any tracker is constantly disclosing peers; that's how BitTorrent works. It is considered important for a tracker to introduce fake IP addresses into these lists, so that simply being on the list is not enough to prove that someone was actually downloading a given bit of content, and there have now been research groups which have gotten takedown notices delivered to printers and so forth, so that if you're not confirmed to be seeding content it's hard to confirm that you're breaking the law.

It is also considered best practice with BitTorrent to use an IP blocklist with your client, but those are probably not too hard for a dedicated attacker to get around -- if you share illegal material and use an IP blocklist, you are basically saying "I will hope that you pick the low-lying fruit first, before you pick me."

Is Technology A Zero-Sum Game?
I do Java in my day job and I agree, I couldn't write much Java code without an IDE, mainly because Java is a horrible language to cut code in and you do need to write a lot of boilerplate for many Java EE patterns.

The IDE removes that problem somewhat.

It's not that Java coders "can't write a line of code without an IDE", it's Java coders don't have the patience to write pure Java in a text editor.

You're also forgetting that a lot of enterprise applications consist of many many .java source files for each class. Trying to deal with all of that manually becomes a real headache

That's and ad hominem fallacy right there.

Yes, the digital sales "GREW almost 20%(!!!)", as you enthusiastically put it. But you behave as if this is somehow extraordinary, and on top of it all automatically[0] assume that this is due to the reduction in piracy.

In UK digital sales grew by 27% in 2011 alone, and they have no similar laws.[1]

The truth is that the digital sales are increasing drastically all over the world, not just in France. This does not have anything to do with any reduction in piracy, but is due to a wider selection of products and more accessible market.

The best thing to do today if you want to be on the safe side is to use a VPN-service which doesn't keep logs. It's likely only a question of time before the anti-piracy organizations start going after them instead, though. Blocklists are, as you state, not very effective and often tend to contain false positives which gives you fewer peers.
Good. I hope the copyright industry doesn't gain a single penny because of Hadopi.
I've been learning Hangul recently, and now every language that doesn't encode syllables into the writing system just seems immensely flawed to me. Hangul seems like a very intuitive, logical writing system. There are relatively few exceptions to the rules it sets out, though I think that's likely because it's such a young language -- more and more seem to be creeping in over time as dialects evolve.

Having read this piece before as well (it was very interesting) there is no surprise that the classic car-buying experience is so combative... it would be like going to a shark-petting zoo where you are required to cover yourself in blood before entering.

That being said, I'll share two stories incase they help anyone...

[1] I have 5 friends (from different social circles and age groups) that have used Carmax to both buy and sell their cars (new and used) -- they have ALL come back with praise for the company on the process, even after comparing car prices online diligently before heading in. Similar the Saturn promise of "no haggling" this shopping experience seems to be fairly solid. I have not done it yet, only what I have heard.

[2] My best experience buying 2 new cars as well as a friend buying 2 new Subaru's that I shared my strategy with went as follows:

Read owner's forums for the car(s) you are considering; Edmunds and standalone owner forums were great for this.

Get a sense for the average price people are paying for the cars around the country. If you see a range of $33,000 to $36,000 then use an average of $35,000 (for example)

Call a local dealership, tell them the car and trimline you want and exactly how much you will spend OUT THE DOOR (always out-the-door) and to call you back if they can do it.

Sit at home and wait for a phone call.

Go in, look at the car, sign the papers and drive home.

I had two trade-ins when I did my cars so my out-the-door price was lower by how much I estimated a fair trade-in value for my used car was (using kbb.com and edmunds.com and some common sense)

Overall the ease of the process was great with no BS and no haggling.

If you like haggling or your goal in buying a new car is to mentally crush the sales agent, then you won't need this strategy... but if you hate wasting your time and want to get a fair price, it works wonderfully.
