Economically speaking, I think it's fine for a person to spend huge amounts of their own money that way if they want. Also, it's fine if they ask around for friends, family, or even total strangers to finance their health. But forcing people to pay (via taxes) for an operation seems outrageous to me.

Idea Analysis Week 8: Rug Addict
Assume you are referencing the flash and twitter crash? I always wondered why people never mention how fast it recovered... the ability to heal a market in seconds. The '87 crash was a cascade much more severe and actually involving the whole market that happened without HFT.

Also the incredible focus on these two events, considering all the other turmoil in the financial markets, has always struck me as a clear case of scapegoating with Luddite underpinnings. Pretty soon, we will all believe that the recession was caused by HFT's.

/boot is typically located on the same disk as root, so that should be ok. /srv and /home, however, would be problematic root mounts. You can use automount to fix /home but /srv should be mounted under /usr or /var.

Mounting NFS or busy disks on the root dir is not a good idea on any server where filesystem i/o performance is an issue.

Welfare-society-partisan I guess? The best thing a government can do is not run into debt and avoid charging massive taxes to employees and companies working in their country. That way, business can thrive better and jobs get created in larger number, so it should be a good thing if you are poor and unemployed.

Countries ridden with welfare are not doing TOO well currently. Most countries in Europe, US, Japan. All deep to their neck in public debt, always at the verge of bankruptcy. This can't be good for anyone in the end, poor included.

"According to surveys done by Akamai and Gomez.com, nearly half of web users expect a site to load in 2 seconds or less, and they tend to abandon a site that isn’t loaded within 3 seconds. 79% of web shoppers who have trouble with web site performance say they won’t return to the site to buy again and around 44% of them would tell a friend if they had a poor experience shopping online."

If your 5 MB app takes 50 seconds to load on someone's 1 MBit connection, there's a good chance they'll never see it.
As soon as you bring compensation into the equation, people measure it against what they expect they should be compensated.

I saw a thread on reddit earlier discussing Dennis Rodman's entreaty for Kim Jong Un to "do him a solid" and release the American who was arrested for photographing homeless children in North Korea. One of the commenters argued that this actually could work, due to the Korean principle of "Jeong", or helping out friends simply for the sake of helping. An appeal to Kim's rational best interests would be measured against his own appraisal thereof, but a personal request from a friendly acquaintance doesn't carry with it that baggage of zero-sum gamesmanship, and so is more likely to be heeded. It was an interesting argument, and I certainly don't think the concept is limited to Koreans.

There are always going to be a few exceptions to the rule...

Back when I lived in NY and worked in bond markets, an interesting study came out evaluating active mutual fund managers. A chance distribution was able to account for all but 2 at a 95% confidence level. Those two exceptions were named Peter Lynch and Warren Buffett.

Peter Lynch unfortunately retired from active investing, and his advice is that people should invest in indexed mutual funds. He also is not unexplainable by chance - the chance of someone having done that well by chance was under 5%, but it was still possible.

At a 99% confidence level, only Warren Buffett was left.

Warren Buffett is unquestionably knowledgeable. But his returns have been boosted over the long term by a couple of major investing advantages. The first is that he likes to buy whole companies, and is reportedly a stellar manager. His management expertise then turns into improved returns for that company, which becomes a good investment. Thus the cause/effect relationship is not clear. The second advantage is that when a company has problems (eg Goldman Sachs in 2008) they tend to call Warren, because they know that if they get him on board then they will restore confidence. But the deal that he gets is significantly better than what anyone else can get from that company.

The study did not include hedge funds like the one George Soros ran because their complex trading strategies can't readily be compared.

Anyways, the professionals can't run funds which beat chance returns. Why do you think will be able to?

(Technical detail. It is possible to beat the averages, and my understanding is that the professionals do on average tend to do so. The problem is that their cost of beating the average is sufficiently high that their funds don't come out ahead. And the results of their research get reflected in the stock price, which is available for everyone to look at.)

It definitely needs an "annotated version" as it references so much historical context that is completely unfamiliar to modern readers (so unfamiliar that most can't even separate referenced historic facts from delusions and from delusional interpretations of AH - I know I can't so that's why I never finished reading it as I should have researched too much referenced history to make sense of it). It's basically useless even as a propaganda material for modern neonazies (even they can write better copy now!), except as a bookshelf decorator (I have an edition with a pretty picture of a smiling AH among a group of happy children - it really creeps me out so it's obviously at the bottom of a dusty cabinet of historical books, but some of other views might put it to an aesthetic use :) ).
No, the different distribution model (refrigerated in the US, not so in the UK) is because washed eggs have to be kept cold, while unwashed eggs do not.

As far as I can tell, the only reason for the US clean-disinfect-keep cold regime is that it ensures consumers get pretty-looking poop-free eggs -- and, as a not inconsequential byproduct, don't accidentally get bird poop and its assorted nasties into their food.
The statement that once (e.g.) Google has the message that they are supposed to be passing on my behalf, that it's now theirs to do with as they please is a much more bold statement then the original discussion of whether or not they should be allowed to hand it over to the government.

Einstein was lucky as well as smart. He was a curious kid while the cracks in the foundations that Newton laid were growing too wide to ignore; he graduated just as the whole structure collapsed. The things he and his contemporaries built in its place still stand, and they didn't leave room to build beside them. By mid century, not even Einstein could do what Einstein did.

This isn't 1983. Worrying about bandwidth, memory, and processing power (in user space) is no longer relevant.

The interwebs is international. And even in the first world, many people have crummy Wi-Fi, and some even dialup still. Then there is the fact that your website gets cached, and that "if everybody thought like you", that cache would only be a fraction as useful (that goes for both browser and proxy caches).

And even on a fast machine with lots of ram and a huge SSD; some people like to have a lot of tabs open, and what might not matter much for a single webpage, does make a difference when you multiply it by 20 or 50. Even if that difference is just "the system has more RAM for the filesystem cache" and shaves off a tenth of a second here and there. This isn't 1983 indeed; assuming a big audience, if you only fail shave off 0.1 unnecessary seconds on average per day per visitor, you can easily waste several cumulative lifetimes, to save yourself a bit of time, or even worse, to save yourself thought. (Sometimes there isn't even a trade-off, it's just the difference between being mindless, and being curious and maybe testing a bit.)

Though I agree that the limit is arbitrary. What matters is how bloated it is; the flabbyness of the whole is the sum of the flabbyness of individual parts. If you implement photoshop or after effects as web app, feel free to weigh 5mb or 50mb for all I care. If it's a to-do list, even 50kb might be way too much.

But as a fun exercise for yourself? Limits are among the most interesting things there are, creatively speaking.
I hope you're not trying to imply that it is unacceptable to let poor people die of treatable diseases. Spending 1 million in other people's money to save one life when that money could also save 1 thousand lives elsewhere (givewell cost per life calculations) is morally inexcusable.
Of course it is; How can it be undemocratic to exercise your choice to not attend a conference, to protest against issues you don't agree with? I would have thought such freedoms would have been required for democracy.

I don't think that is very honest considering FaceCash (not entirely sure) didn't beat Square to market, and I don't believe his idea was very "wild and unprecedented" as he claimed.

Yes, seemingly dumb start up ideas get funded, but at the same time a lot of dumb and smart ideas don't get any attention, and there are still a good number of smart ideas that do get funded.

If he couldn't get anyone to back his mobile payments idea, I think it says more about him and his character more than his idea. It's my belief that the reason someone funds/works for you can be attributed to less than half to how good your idea was, especially something that is really early stage.
This is more akin to a safety deposit box. The bank doesn't necessarily know what's in there. It's not the same as compelling testimony from a housekeeper.

Sure, Facebook/Google have more access than a bank has to the safety deposit box, but the likelihood that anyone at Google or Facebook has actual knowledge of the information the government is looking for is slim to none.

Maybe a better analogy would be a warehouse. Just because things are stored in the warehouse, and employees have access, doesn't mean that the employees have rifled through them.
I find the term 'threat model' isn't that useful

It's domain-specific language. It is a model. Of your threat profile. Of risks, exposures, etc. Understand the concept, it's useful.

One huge advantage of the paper system ... Paper has many advantages. I own a great deal of paper. I love paper. It's tremendously stable.

It's also hard to search, expensive to duplicate, and carries a risk of single-copy loss. Even misplacing (without destroying) a document can be a crisis.

Those are all parts of the paper threat model.

Your mention of the fourth amendment brings up s great many other issues, and I won't discuss them, but generally pointing in the direction of:

Are electronic records "papers", and in what contexts and locations are they treated as such.

Do protections against unreasonable search protect against warrented searches? Or warrantless searches?

As for practical experience: I've had some in the areas of which I write here.

I don't know, man. I'm 24. For all I know, Harry Truman was a great speaker and we in modern times just aren't as familiar with his material. Nixon v Kennedy was the first GE with televised debates, was it not? And are not modern, TV-viewing American unwilling to listen to someone's speech if they can't watch it too? FDR had those "fireside chats" on radio, what was it, weekly? I've never once heard more than a ten second clip from one.

Furthermore, Kennedy was president during the narrow "American togetherness" window after WWII and before Vietnam, giving him the room to say, "Hey, let's we do this thing." Nowadays "we" can't do anything except "step up on education" and "not negotiate with terrorists." Anything more asks too much from a public that relishes picking sides for the sake of picking sides.
According to Elon Musk, the cost of the ticket to Mars will be $500k, and the cost of the return ticket will be free (after all he's bringing the spaceship back, doesn't cost much to add a body to it).

If he holds to something like this (inflation adjusted), then the availability of a free return will keep your nightmare from happening. Furthermore the free return makes sense from a PR point of view. It is easier to get people to take a risk like that if they believe that they can get back from it. (Though I'm sure at some point there will be interesting litigation around someone who sold their house, didn't bother to pay out the mortgage, then took the money to buy a ticket to Mars, then disappeared to another world...)
I have a suspicion that 90% of the functional effectiveness of any visual aesthetic is learned experience. Witness the outcry over 48fps feature-length films, for example; people complain that it has a "cheap" or "soap-opera" feel, because cheap productions and soap operas are the dominant media filmed in high-speed. This affects the enjoyment that movie-goers take out of their experience, and thus the overall value of the product.

The inferences we make about functional differences in the aesthetics of type would clearly be biased by this phenomenon. It might certainly be possible for controlled observations to reveal that reading speeds are faster for serif type; but this might be due to the fact that the reader is used to it, as most long works are already printed in serif type, in part due to the assumptions of book designers that serif type is faster to read!

Not really the point I was making. People will go to great lengths and effectively destroy their own life in the pursuit of saving a loved one. This makes it hard to take seriously the concept that a a free market full of economically rational consumers would exist when it comes to costly medical decisions.

It's easy to say "if you didn't want to be poor, you shouldn't have bought that plasma tv or new smartphone", versus "if you didn't want to be poor you should have let your wife die instead of taking a second mortgage out on your house".

Most people do not have a maximum price on something they consider priceless.

Search is another one of their features. How would search work if all of the data was encrypted? Pushing search to the client doesn't make sense.

The problem I have with HST is what purpose does it serve, other than offer another way to gamble on stock price movements.

Now there is nothing new about gambling on stock price movements but with HST it takes the control out of the market and puts it into the hands of a bunch of computer programs.

And to say that can't cause problems, you have to look no further than the hoax bomb at the white house tweet that wiped out $130 billion in market value in the matter of seconds.

Without those HST computers system all trying to out do each other, that event would not have been so dramatic.
