Yes. Fascism and capitalism were separate in Italy, Germany, and Franco's Spain.

"The Fascist State lays claim to rule in the economic field no less than in others" - Benito Mussolini, The Doctrine of Fascism.
http://www.worldfuturefund.org/wffmaster/Reading/Germany/Mus...

Fascism calls for state control and direction of the economy, which ultimately means Fascist Party control of the same because Fascism denies the legitimacy of any other party to ever govern the state. Capitalism calls for few to no state controls over economic activity so as to allow all businesses to operate with minimal interference.

Germany followed Italy's lead in state direction of the economy and notoriously seized the assets of Jews and sent them to "work" camps in the name of increasing the productivity of their labour. Franco banned international trade and watched his economy crash for a decade.

You can't execute an estimate and make money with it, so they are waste in a lean sense of waste.

There are usually cheaper* ways of dealing with the problem than producing estimates.

Where I work now I don't think I have ever provided a written estimate (and no one else has) for my work.

Who does estimates for the time to produce all these estimates?

* Estimates have subtle costs and benefits apart from the time to produce them.
Have you got any links or keywords I can search about MT's vulnerabilities? I wonder if those vulnerabilities are exploitable given the seeding construct they chose?

Just to be a devils advocate, perhaps it is important to let NASA know that you will be 5 minutes late for a meeting. No, the single instance may not present a life or death situation, but maybe at some point the cumulative effect of solving these first world type problems can have a trickle down effect on making the world a better place for everyone.

You're right in that I do mean well and I think you have a very valid point about dogfooding crypto. I'm aware of (and have tried to point out) the limitations of the crypto in Lahana but others might not read it and I think I jumped the gun in that respect. Thanks for making me think twice about it, I appreciate it.

To Jordanians - I would ask that you try it out, but only on things that wouldn't get you into trouble - i.e. things that are blocked but perhaps not contentious. I accept that if Lahana and it's wider goals are successful that maybe people will suffer for using it but I built this with the goal of helping people in mind, not hurting them.

I think I'd get more out of your post Andrew if you would include an example of what the 'vertical alignment' problem you were experiencing was. At this point, I'm not sure where I would use your solution. Maybe an image of the offending design, and the proper result?
The example for transport encoding doesn't seem all the more simplified than things as they currently stand. Sure, the field names are a little shorter and easier to read, but there's still a lot of (necessary) complexity in that encoding.

The OSI model of the Internet is built around being extremely fault tolerant and extremely generalized, so that anyone can connect any device and expect a reasonable amount of functionality. Sure, protocols could be simplified or refactored so the topics are easier to approach, but I don't think the ideas presented in this post would bring about a large degree of simplicity.

Also, simplifying the protocols, even by a huge degree, would not substantially grow the proportion of the population that understands them. People work to understand the OSI model out of necessity, not convenience.

'Not allowing it to happen' would probably be the most galvanizing thing the world could possibly do. Basically damned if we do, damned if we don't.

The primary goal of the education system should be to prepare students to reach their full potential in the real world. It is not achieving this goal optimally. The best and brightest are often stuck being taught the same material, at the same rate as the median student. We had to spend a year learning Algebra I, for some ungodly reason. How many of us could have learned it in literally one month? How many of us could have finished our entire high school's math curriculum in a year? Why should the A we could have gotten in one month be equated to the A of a person who needed a full school year to learn it?

Food for thought.

This happens for lots of syndromes, though. CP can describe someone with a slight limp, if that, or folks with little bodily control who need around-the-clock care and can't communicate verbally. Dyslexia covers everything from fully-compensating children who have difficulty spelling to people who can neither read nor write, regardless of interventions. MS may cause occasional tremors or be utterly debilitating.

Autism is similar. It may be an neurological trait that the individual compensates for or an utterly debilitating condition. It doesn't mean they are different conditions if the only difference is the severity of the symptoms.

Whatever you say, Marie Antoinette. You're the exception to the rule and can perhaps create a new kind of corporate culture (though I sincerely doubt it.. if you do, you'll owe it to society to write a management textbook. Or - you will act like most people do - and hoard the information for personal benefit, until one of your underlings reverse engineers it and publicizes because you're just not paying her what she's worth. Case in point: Michael O Church). Most great work is stymied by politics, because the great creative thinkers and engineers haven't been groomed and trained in politics/management. So due to their social flaws, their projects fail, and they're stymied.

Michael O Church is crowdsourcing political support, and he believes the crowd will throw out the hegemony. Well, Michael O Church just might be on to something.

As a Singaporean who just spent the last hour or so rapidly scanning through Turkey's history, it seems the situation in both countries is the entrenchment of political power within a single party.

As for corruption in Singapore, well, let me just say that one of the caveats of these corruption indices is that whether you perceive it. If you are a foreigner visiting Singapore or even a local living here for a while, your daily life in general will probably be pleasant as long as you are not involved in any form of political activism.

Most of the shenanigans in Singapore are related to politics and how the incumbent party has maintained its power. There is a reason for Singapore being placed in the nether regions (144th rank in the Press Freedom Index) in various press freedom rankings and why we are labeled as a "hybrid regime".

As for people who keep gushing about Singapore and how awesome our country is, all I have for them is a wintry smile and the old phrase, "Not all that glitters is gold".
Most of the time, capitalism works as a zero-sum game - profits can be extracted more easily from moving resources than from creating them and therefore moving will be prefered to making.

We must admit there is something wrong when unemployment is rising together with corporate profits and economic inequality. It's not only the average rising - standard deviation is also increasing. The social tissue can only stretch that much before it ruptures and nobody likes to be near the rupture.
My school used Blackboard as well (and as you know it's pretty bad), but what was funny was that the CS department used something called Whiteboard which seemed to be much better designed (I wonder if it was made by a former student or something along those lines)
So I went looking myself - it seems a big problem with MT is that it's "easy" to determone the seed from a sample of generated "random" numbers. I don't think that's a problem here, since the "casino" end knows the seed anyway.

I _think_ to attack this you would need to do two seemingly difficult things. 1) come up with a seed which generates a sequence from the prng which allows a shuffle to create a favourable-to-you deck - this might be doable given my very quick reading of MT's weaknesses. But then you need to do 2) create a server_seed such that PRNGseed = SHA256(client_seed + server_seed) % 2 ^ 32. I suspect that's "hard". (I don't know if SHA256 is vulnerable to extension attacks the way MD5 is - I don't _thin_ so, but even if it were, some simple "plausibility checks" on the alleged server_seed would protect against that.)

I guess there's a problem if the client_seed ad server_seed ever get re-used - but that's a common crypto in-use issure, right? Just don't do that...

I currently use two LED Displays plugged in to my Macbook Pro 15''. One thing that you need to bear mind when acquiring the LED Displays is that they tend to get dust behind the glass. It's not complicated to clean, but it involves taking off the glass.
The market value of being able to memorize easily searchable facts is nearly zero, and falling even faster. Any test that can be "cheated" by using Wikipedia is testing a totally useless skill. (Useful tests are still hard when you have access to all the internet.)

Memorization is not useless! The ability to access certain information in sub-speed latency is a valuable skill and should be learnt. This is called cached knowledge. One defining example is the multiplication table that we have to memorialize as a kid.

Searching is definitely useful, but the basic you should memorize, because you will use them over and over again. Do not be a programmer at work who have to repetitively google information several times a day that should be second nature because he refuse to memorize.
Thanks for your question. The email address is only used to verify that you are with the company. We'll send you an invitation code once there is quorum, which you can use to sign up for an anonymous account. We don't link this account and your corporate email. We just mark your corporate email as taken, so no one else can sign up from the same email. The unfortunate side effect is that you would not be able to recover your password in case you forget it.
You are worried that you didn't get the karma points. I am glad that I was able to find this because someone reposted it, when the other was lost to oblivion.

I've got a griffin laptop stand [1] and a cheap AOC 22inch monitor which I boost up with a couple of phone books. Would like a thunderbolt display, but the lack of vertical adjustment is a bit off-putting. May get one of those dell 27 inch IPS displays next time they discount them as I really do need a better 2nd monitor.

I've been working like this for ~3 years now but have recently been getting neck pain, this was the motivator for buying the stand. Having an ergonomic viewing angle that doesn't make you tilt your neck too much is a must for making this work.

Painting with broad strokes, how would you define that? And was it / is it working anywhere? Is that an idealized model that is unstable in the real world (much like other idealist systems)?
I'm also unsure whether their usage of MT is actually a problem. The small seed size is what seems like a problem to me.

They note they're actually reshuffling, not just cutting the deck, but even then there are only 2^32 possible seeds and thus 2^32 possible reshuffles. What's stopping them from pregenerating server seeds that are biased in their favor? Maybe using MT makes that even easier.
Although I am somewhat less enamored with him now that I used to be, I think John Taylor Gatto's list of 14 things that elite private schools teach that public schools don't is by far the best list of things to focus on for high school age kids:

https://www.tragedyandhope.com/th-films/the-ultimate-history...

Unfortunately I'm not sure there is a good written description of these anywhere, but IIRC they are described pretty well in this video series:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11g9Tnmvo3Q

Gatto's ideas about education are based on history and spirituality (esp. Christianity) rather than science, which can be somewhat offputting at first, but having read the best of the sciency books on the various aspects of childhood development and education I generally think Gatto has more to offer. (Not that the other books aren't good too, but they're generally more useful for designing education systems that scale rather than parenting, except for when the kid is less than five which it doesn't sound like yours are.)
Same here, have had really bad experience with Samsung displays when rotated to portrait mode. Currently, we have a number of Dell Ultrasharp models (23" and 24" mostly), all of which look good in either orientation. They cost a bit more, but the quality is definitely worth it.

I think you could make the case that Singapore is a dictatorship in a kind of English tradition just as the US is a democracy with the same broad tradition. Despite some differences in detail, broad cultural values are actually pretty close (language probably being a huge contributing factor).

To put it another way: Singapore uses strong central government to achieve the same kinds of effects Americans will cheerfully use other means (e.g. Disneyland, gated communities, giant shopping malls) to achieve.

It depends on the position and level one is hiring at, really. For a senior engineer or manager we want a leader, someone who both has vision and can get things done in an organization. For a junior engineer we need only someone who can execute.

When looking at GPA, it is the later. In my experience it is a very rare college who who has the intuition or insight to drive any part of a product.
Try explaining that better. There's 3 possible people that could need an account depending on how you look at it.

This article is horrible.

Of course parents think their kids drawings are cute, and their music is wonderous. But unless he is truly virtuoso, or actually has a photographic memory as suggested, he should probably learn some maths as well, and you as a parent should work as hard as you can to get him excited about things that will get him a job instead of rubbing off your callous despisery of "academics and investment bankers" on him. (Seriously... "homogenized and brainwashed", "almost completely without originality of thought or perspective", "good little cog in a habitual big wheel"... what makes you hate academics so deeply?) The entire world is in recession right now, you really think cartoonery is going to get him hired faster than a strong math and science background?

But let's pretend that parabolas actually are worthless and boring (God forbid I ever learn your opinion of Gaussians, Betas, Erfs, Einastos, Hernquists, Exponentials, etc.). Sounds like the real issue is the educational system, not the content. Don't for an instant try to say that Music and Maths are not intimately related. Look for gifted or accelerated programs, try to get him enrolled in a Millenium / Magnet school, just try to get him excited.

Seriously though, you should hold your tongue when talking about academics. You really think Bohr was homogenized? Was Tesla brainwashed? Was Von Braun a cogwheel? I guarantee people find my "art" just as amusing as your kids little shark doodle.
