This question is fascinating but absurd - word order varies to provide emphasis or poetry (adjectives are particularly flexible in this respect), living languages are not constructed on a rational basis but organically in use, and different speakers may well differ on word order without one of them being correct in any meaningful sense.

Debt and growth are obviously separate entities that are hard to correlate. Intuitively it makes sense that debt doesn't inherently slow growth, and could even speed growth.

Reducing the problem to a personal level, you borrow money to buy a good car which enables you to work a higher paying job. This scenario makes the case that debt causes growth. From a policy standpoint if you borrow money for long term infrastructure and growth opportunities you could easily see debt as a net positive.

OTOH, you run up your credit cards to buy a better TVs or to buy 'friends'. In this instance debt can only lead to eventual poverty and ruin.

Which type of spending do you think is happening more often at a federal level?
I did not know this is how the e-bay rating system works!

For some reason given this information, I changed my mind. When the buyer had 5 stars to choose from (in my mind, and I thought they granted only 1) it seemed abominable to leave the bad rating, given facts. Seemed to me like their customer service was worthy of at least 3 stars.

Now knowing that the scale is only three wide, it seems like a reasonable thing to do, leaving a rating of "minus".

That's funny.
With the respect to the password, there was an additional log from the hacker stating that the key password was held in memory and was accessed by him via Cold Fusion.

He claims to have been able to decrypt the credit card data at that point. He did state that he only decrypted a couple of them and that he has also destroyed the data since Linode's blog post went live.

-

The above info came from line 75 of the following pastebin: http://pastebin.com/7WXRDyAg

07:52 < HTP> the CCrypter class of the linode application context was accessable from outside the wwwroot using undocumented ColdFusion methods. i was fully able to decrypt the ccs using the in-memory privkey that they supplied the password for.

-

I have no idea of the validity of any of that information. To be safe, I have modified my keys/passwords and have deactivated the card number associated with the account.

I figure playing on the safe side is better and that changing everything will result in fewer "surprises."
Thanks for your work on Grim. It's the reason I learned Lua (via LuaDec and extracting code out of the .LAB files), and I play it at least once a year.
I'm no lawyer but I don't we why it wouldn't be admissible unless it somehow violated the perpetrators rights. Even then since we are not the police the situation might be different.

Anyone know for sure? There must be rules of evidence that cover this situation.
Could you elaborate? I don't understand.

My mental model is that if inflation is 2%, the nominal interest rates are 2% higher than the real interest rate. How much does inflation affect the real interest rate?
Normally I'd prefer a B2B/B2D type thing for practical reasons, but it's a consumer fashion thing.

Interesting. That seems more like a New York startup, but COL would really be out of your favor out here, and you'd be competing with finance on salaries.

Discovery and recommendation oriented, designed to get the rather large percentage of the young population that isn't dressing as well as they could on board. Especially young professional-age men.

That's a great concept. I think a lot of us are late to realize that how you dress (especially for work) matters. I didn't know how to dress until I met my wife. I hope that it works out.

I'm in Mountain View right now, consulting after my stint as a non-founder CTO. Not going non-founder route again.

I hear you on that. I feel like startup founders overestimate the degree to which they've "de-risked" the business, mainly as an excuse to take 10x the equity. In truth, a company with 18 months to live, no free-standing reputation, and that fires without severance is not de-risked at all.

I don't know if it's fair to say news organizations are using the bombing to gain financially. They are doing their jobs -- which is, providing a service to gather and disseminate news. In order to do that service, reporters and editors need to be paid.

You could look at another way: If the service didn't exist, many people would likely not know the news, or the extent of it -- and so might not be compelled to donate or otherwise help out.
Of course, if you feel like the Government spending is good investment and will bring a return, then no problem. If you think it is wasteful political payoff, then it is a problem.

The core problems is if the government taxes and extra $1000 dollars away from you that you would have used to grow your business, then spends it on debt service, or war, or something wasteful, that will slow growth.
I am still waiting
I was a Marine military advisor in both Iraq and Afghanistan (1 year each) and lived and worked with local forces and interpreters. They endured the same hardships and dangers we did. When we needed supplies, they went out in town and bought them for us without any complaints. These guys weren't 'house cat' interpreters in Kabul or Baghdad, these guys were out with us in the shittiest parts of southern Helmand province. Some can’t even go back home.

These guys accepted more risk for our country than many Americans would and they did it proudly. Sure, some did it for money. But these guys love America as much as we do because they know what it stands for--something that's difficult to see sipping Starbucks, waiting for the new iPhone to come out. We’re incredibly fortunate, but we forget that sometimes. They've earned the right to be citizens, which is more than many of us can say because we were just lucky enough to be born here.

Are they all great? No, but I’m not talking about those guys. I’m talking about the ones that are phenomenal and they deserve better. For our interpreters, we screened and recommended the ones we thought were qualified. The process should be thorough, but not as cumbersome and slow as it is now, particularly for those who are vouched for by senior ranking officers. In my heart I believe we owe it to them for their sacrifices. If they didn't do their job, there'd be fewer of us coming home. The green-on-blue threat in Afghanistan is real. You guys talking about money are missing the point.
It was mentioned "... Cypriot central banks’ need to sell off some its gold reserves to pay for its bailout ..."

What wasn't mentioned was Japanese selling of gold since it has risen to all-time highs vs. the weakening yen.

If households could print currency it would be analogous. The US Federal Government can not ever run out of money because it controls the currency. This is not to say that bad things can't happen (inflation for one); but in most cases its a balance sheet equation - Federal Debt is Private Credit.

Neatpad: Design & Implementation of a Win32 Text Editor
Sometimes people will distinguish between "replicating a result" and "reproducing an experiment" – with the differences more prominent when you are dealing with straight data. Replicating a result simply means you confirm that the results aren't made up – you start with what they say they started with, you get the result they say. Reproducing an experiment might mean working from their conclusions, not trying to repeat every detail, and seeing if you come up with the same result – you might not if you mess up the experiment, but you might also confirm the interpretation of the result because you've eliminated aspects that the theory considers insignificant.

With results derived strictly from data this is a clearer line, as repeating the process exactly is quite possible (the spreadsheet in this case is the "process"). This might seem trivial, but it's pretty common that even repeating the purported process is very hard.

From a techy point of view this post helped me see the distinction: http://ivory.idyll.org/blog/replication-i.html
I'll plug Houston, TX.

It's a really nascent scene, and you want to avoid letting the culture get in the way of business, but it has a lot of promise.

Houston is a wonderfully large and diverse city, and there is always a lot of work to find around here while pursuing your startup. We've got top-notch engineering talent (NASA and the energy sector), and the best private research university in Texas. The food is really good, housing to match near any requirement is readily available, and the people are friendly.
I work in the post-production side of the film industry. Most people working in film aren't actors or celebrities. It has absolutely nothing to do with making it big in Hollywood.

It is very similar to working in the games industry, to the extent that people can easily move between the two.

It also suffers from some of the negative aspects of the games industry, namely punishing hours and relatively poor compensation compared to similarly challenging roles in other areas of technology.

However, as I said, it's fun work. Too much of it, certainly. But nonetheless fun. The games industry is similar. That's the point I'm making.
At 15 characters and my character set ( [a-zA-Z0-9] and about 30 symbols) I have about 92 bits of entropy. Mean time to find a collision hash of my password is more than several years using 100% of computing power on the planet, much less do AES brute force. If memory is no issue - 256 bit passwords (usually displayed as 64 hex digits) are wonderful and there is no reason to stop short of that for pass keys that are stored electronically.

If I was responsible for this key I might increase from my normal 15 to 20 characters, giving me more than 120 bits of entropy, and I would expect to be safe from offline brute force for decades, and I could remember it.
There is another study that explains these events:

Yeah, but it was also sarcastic. I used to add //sarcasm tags, but they make you sound conceited.

>However, that's different from being smug and superior about your hobby.

I will be as smug and superior about my hobby as I want to //sarcasm.

But no, in all seriousness, having to act smug and superior about your hobby means you are trying to use it to garner social recognition/a feeling of superiority which you think will make you happy, which means your hobby doesn't allready intrinsically do that for you. An exception to that are hobbies intrinsically made for showing off, like golf or trophy wives.

That would only be true if 100% of government spending came from taxes and the government didn't spend anything, it does not. Deficit spending comes from people investing in the government, and a non-trivial amount comes from foreigners. You buy something from Walmart -> China gets USD -> China buys US treasuries. You got a product, the US government got money, and the Chinese got left with an IOU.

Moreover, government spending doesn't vanish into a blackhole. If I tax a dollar from you, and then build a highway or launch a GPS satellite or educate a child, I not only put your money back into the economy, I also left lasting changes that improve efficiency.

I love the look and feel of this. I wish I had such a good eye for design.

I know there are some other options posted, so I figure I'd throw my own side-hobby out there http://mxplx.com/ is an open-source project I wrote to keep track of my favorite quotes (memes), link them to references, triple them to other memes, and gather them in lists (schemas). I never got around to adding a clipping-tool to it, but I did interface with Google Books to make gathering book references easier.

It's unnecessarily erudite, ugly, and I turned off new signups so you'd need to download the source from github or google code if you want to play with it (I do include a copy of the database complete with my personal collection of quotes and references on Git), but I'm posting it here because someone might find something of interest in it.
I think there may be issues with authentication. Usually, you would have a witness authenticate a photo ("yes, i took this with my camera at this day and time, etc."). If it's a random photo on a website, it may be more difficult to prove its accuracy.
>Money is most optimal when it is fixed in value just as commerce is facilitated when we have fixed weights and measures. When you buy a pound of hamburger you expect to get 16 ounces of meat.

But you don't pay for a pound of hamburger with 16 ounces of meat; you pay for a pound of hamburger with dollars. The dollars/hamburger ratio floats.

And unless I misunderstand something^0, money isn't fixed in value; its value just happens to not change all that much, under normal circumstances. Most money is inflating; it's worth slightly less each year. This isn't a fixed value.

And I agree that, yes, Bitcoin's volatility does make it less attractive to users. But that volatility isn't an inherent property of Bitcoin, but merely an effect of it being small and growing. If, in five years, the Bitcoin economy continues to grow, and there's less volatility^1, will that make Steve Forbes happy?

Hackathons have changed my life. It is what took me to the next level in my coding ability, it helped me find out what I was passionate about, and I met some of the coolest people I have ever met.
The point is that appropriate action can always be taken when needed, and unemployment is never necessary.

To elaborate a little bit: A monetarily sovereign government really only needs higher tax revenue to stave off demand-driven inflation. But in the case of demand-driven inflation, something has to be done anyway due to real constraints.

Now you might ask whether austerity now could help future real constraints in any way. The answer is typically no: austerity means that less is consumed today, but at the cost of less production today. Austerity does not cause stockpiles of real resources to be built for the future.

If you actually wanted to build real resources for the future (and such a plan would be dubious at best, because predicting future needs is tricky, especially in the face of changing technology), you would actually want to do the opposite of austerity: you would want to spend more now, in order to buy the real resources that are stored away in the stockpile.

It is only these real considerations that matter for a monetarily sovereign country. Monetary constraints only matter for countries that are not sovereign, e.g. the various members of the Euro area.
From reading the comment I think this evidence enough that it will be very difficult to stop this from being a "mobsource" application.
They just released support for this the other week I believe (Or at least very recently) - And that is specifically why I've been catching up on everything Vagrant lately, as I was specifically waiting on VMWare support. I asked about it in the freenode #vagrant channel the other day and everyone said it should work the exact same as using the VirtualBox provider - except with VMWare.
Even if it's not admissible, it may provide helpful leads.
Same on me, on last cycle we had our demo and vid visited although we had a very early and poor prototype, now we've been working really hard for months on it and we have a really awesome product, but no visits this time.

We even bought a server on USA so they had a low ping and did a tour on our demo. It's really hard to be working so much time on it and haven't had it even visited.

>Your approach is to optimize for developer productivity. Mike's is to optimize for machine productivity.

Yeah that's a valid point. And it's probably just my lack of experience in language design or just general naïveté. It seems like for most devices (modern smartphones, tablets, traditional computers) are fast enough that we'd be better served focusing on developer productivity in newer languages. Sure, they'll never compete with C in terms of efficiency.

Besides, I can still easily create terribly inefficient code in C ;)
I mentioned this elsethread, but I've had changes to my account get charged to my card immediately (within minutes), even in the middle of the night. Last example of this was January 2012, so they may've changed their billing practices since then.
Again, it could be the motivation you put forth to, but in favor of the defendant if the evidence is inconclusive. What really bugs me is that on a site that is not entirely void of coders (There might be some around. Mayyybeee...), we use a honor based polling tool that doesn't allow for the creator to set a max number of votes per person. Now I know that creating a new poll takes time, but surely not much more than setting all the +80s font to extra large and all the <10s font to comic sans.
Thank you everyone for the feedback. So far I really enjoyed using balsamiq. I like how simple it is.

Sorry, random rambling on the internet doesn't count.

The nsdap had a left, socialist wing. Most of the members of that wing were executed, which is a good indicatior on how much Hitler himself agreed with them. He himself didn't had many political views one could describe as left, that there are similarities in the methods is mainly a coincidence. Your linked article is plainly wrong in that regard, the nationalization of industries for example didn't really happen after the Kapital agreed to cooperate (and ideologically, nationalization of industries in a facist regime is something else entirely than in a communist one).

For a good article about the subject, read http://www.h-ref.de/organisationen/nsdap/nazis-sozialisten.p.... Anyway, I don't think we should discuss this any further here, it is OT.
