Without having sat on the jury, I will have to rely on public documents for the relative size of Goldman's proprietary business. This may not meet your standard of proof. After the Volcker rule, it has become much tougher to find data on principal transactions, so let's go back to 2010 and look at the Financials of their annual review.

http://www.goldmansachs.com/investor-relations/financials/cu...

On page 58 of the document (page 91 of the footnotes, since it starts at 34) revenues from "Other principal transactions" is $6+ billion for the year. Revenue from "Market Making" is $13+ billion. It can be murky where this activity falls, but it's definitely one of those buckets.

On page 69(102) you get a breakout of which product areas these come from. Without going too deep, it's just worth observing that it's multiple billions of dollars of risk across each of these area.

Going to another source, on page 3 of this paper (http://repository.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1689...) they quote Goldman estimating the size of High Frequency Trading to be $0.5 billion in revenues, with others estimating it to be $1.5 to $3 billion.

Do I know enough to say how much of this he was accountable for? Enough that he would get a big offer to work somewhere else. And I am very confident that he knew that copying this model was against the law. Everyone in this type of environment knows this.
Feasibly, the lack of HTTPS for a subset of users could be used as an attack vector against Feedly, which could surface information about me that I do not want revealed even if I were a Pro user using HTTPS.
I think it is less nefarious than that - it feels more like the problems that arise from fixing bugs in code. We've all encountered this - you fix one bug and it breaks 3 other things, because of unexpected/unintended consequences. Something else was relying on the broken code to work right. Systems thinking is just plain hard...

So how do we do unit tests for laws?
Personally, I'd go even further. The very idea that prison is primarily about punishment (revenge by proxy?) instead of rehabilitation is wrongheaded.

The goal of any policy should be the betterment of society. We have plenty of evidence to show that prisons designed for rehabilitation have lower incidences of recidivism than harsh, punitive ones.
I'm in the same boat. Used it for a big project and now it's just cruft on my Javascript files. I have to continuously mentally process Javascript code I want to use from other libraries into its CS equivalent, and for what? All I get are list comprehensions and white space.

I originally found it very appealing because I wasn't well acquainted with Javascript or its prototype class system, and so I didn't have that life-saving knee-jerk reaction about CS at all. I dove right in and used it extensively. After getting used to both JS and CS, I've realized that Coffeescript is at best a Javascript obfuscator.

I understand the use of some layers on web tech. SASS is great. It introduces constructs that you legitimately can't get in CSS, like functions and variables. Coffeescript on the other hand is just a toy for the Python devs that are too lazy to properly learn Javascript.

High transaction costs? Do you have even the slightest idea of what you're talking about? Bitcoin has pretty much the lowest transaction fees of any payment method, and you can even opt out of transaction fees if you're willing to wait slightly longer for processing.
You could also do it with chain, which could make the first example a bit simpler to read and write. It is something like:

var newArray = _.chain(array).filter(function(item) {
return item % 2;
}).map(function(item) {
return item + 1;
}).value();

I often use CoffeeScript + Underscore

FH was set up to be a safe haven for CP and other illegal/semi-illegal content. Anonymously on TOR. Good luck serving them a notice about hosting that content. It was never meant to be anything else. Let's not kid ourselves, it was not a white hat business.

Comparing it to a normal service like a road provider or a hotel is just laughable. They have legit business. FH was primarily used for unsavory business. That totally changes the equation. The intent behind the service is pretty damn important.
This looks great, nice work! A few things I'd recommend for the future:

- Theme plugins; text based as input to Hugo, not golang packages that would have to be compiled.

- Editor integration so others can make a WordPress-style site editor. Just conventions about layout, I think?

Personally I have come around to the view that purely financial crimes should merit only financial punishments, of a sufficient magnitude to deter the crime.

I'd like to think that I would be rational enough to maintain that position even if I was the victim of such a crime.
my 2 cents:
1) At the first place, yes, it does look like these are sureshot SQL injections.
2) However, we are looking through just a tiny window. There could be filter chains executed long before this code that would sanitize the request parameters before they are consumed anywhere else in the codebase.
We have a lot of entrepreneurs here.

Why don't we start with an easier lab-grown animal product than something we ingest?

How about lab-grown fur coats (EDIT from evilduck's comment: or lab-grown leather for clothing, furniture, shoes, etc)? Who wouldn't want to wear a "mink" coat created with no animal pain?

Develop the technology on something we don't have to eat, along with the associated health risks and sensitivity of our palates, but still useful. Then transfer the technology to the harder areas.

I wrote about in-vitro fur before -- http://joshuaspodek.com/vegetarian-entrepreneurs-test. I'd love to see it but haven't heard of anyone working on it. Is anyone doing it?

Unfortunately that's about the only resource I can think of when it comes to drug legalization/decriminalization in an actual real world environment. I'm hoping to see some papers in the next couple years about marijuana legalization in Washington and Colorado.

This is only semi-related, but Vangard has a really fascinating documentary on prescription drug abuse/doctor shopping in Florida you might find interesting. It's called the Oxycontin Express. Basically people go down to Florida, get a whole bunch of prescriptions for Oxycontin and then resell the pills in Kentucky and other States at a ridiculous profit. Here's a link to an online copy of it.

There's two reasons here...

1) As was mentioned by Shubb, there is a predatory aspect to algorithms. If I know how your algorithm will work, I can create one that will be it. You can think of it as programming robots to fight. If I've seen the source code for your robot, I may be able to program one that can exploit it's weaknesses. (Worked against the Death Star!)

2) The HFT world works best when the ideas aren't well known. Let's say I identify a mispricing. It could be, "When this Mutual Fund moves, this similar ETF moves 0.1ms later, and these stocks react to the EFT and move 0.2ms later, but they forget these other 3 stocks 0.3ms later, so actively long those stocks for 0.3ms, and short the rest, and reverse after the time is up." No need to dwell on the details, just understand that it exists. If only one person has identified this mispricing, there are a lot of pennies to be swept up. As soon as two people know about it, the game is up.

While this type of competition could conceivably be good for the market as a whole, it's definitely not good for ther person with the algorithm.

If I have the code, perhaps I can deduce the algorithm.
I am someone with student debts.

For the past 4 years, I mostly worked on what I could, not what I really wanted...

Happily, sometimes there was a overlap, but how it is not slavery?

I cannot quit.
I cannot choose what I will work with (mostly, every time I was without a job, I had to accept whatever offer came by, the few times I tried to be picky I ended even more indebted to buy food).
I cannot live where I want...
And so on.

With some employers, I did feel owned, because even if they did not knew I was in deep debt, they could push me to do whatever they wanted, just with a small treat of dismissal, because I CANNOT afford be dismissed, my debt payment is way above the country average wage, and for the last years I've been living reaching the end of each month slighly indebted or with a zero balance in the bank.

I dread the day I suffer some accident, near my home people ignore the red light a lot, and I think if I ever get hit by a car, I don't have money to pay medical expenses. (my parents are also in debt, partly by their incredible education expense they had with me, sometimes taking loans they knew they could not pay just to pay for my schooling).

Right now I am co-founder in a startup, and every time our cash starts to run low, conflicts flare up quickly, because the pressure becomes immense, it generates lots of instability, and I already lost two relationships over this (ie: not over having a startup, but having those debts and financial instability and extreme dependance on employers).
to save anyone else looking, all the reports seem to be generated from the same press release - there's no significant new info in any (compared to the link here) that i could see.

I think the synthetic food market is going to be the biggest emerging market by 2020, coming out of relatively nowhere.

I know that there is development around it but with all the talk about energy, privatized space, mobile computing, clean environment, etc., I think synthetic meat will be the dark horse for next big business.

Not if you're on Team State.
Well, the reason is because auto manufacturers are notorious for chasing volume, and still are.

For example, although they're not a luxury marque, VW specifically (not the VW group) decontented their cars in what is referred to as the "beigekrieg". By decontenting -- and then drastically lowering the price -- of the Jetta and Passat, they are gaining significant volume to meet the goal of increasing U.S. unit sales from 250,000 a year to 800,000 a year. So far they've managed to increase it to > 400,000 a year.

Why is Audi bringing over the A3, BMW the 1 series (though that's not gone terribly well) and FWD cars, and Mercedes the FWD CLA? These are cars at lower price points, meant to increase volume and to get new customers into the fold of the brand. On the entry-level luxury market, buyers are price sensitive. Not as price sensitive as the mainstream compact and mid-size sedan markets (who have been decontenting cars to keep prices from moving), but still price sensitive. If the cars get too expensive, or if times get tough, these buyers abandon their plans first. Regardless, all three marques are seeing record sales in the U.S.

Even Porsche, one of the most profit-oriented marques on the planet, has the sub-Cayenne crossover being launched at the L.A. auto show. It may break the "we make at least $10K on every car we sell" informal rule for the first time in over a decade. Why? Volume, which admittedly, allows it to fund other versions (and entirely different) of existing sports cars which bring in very high margin.

The only manufacturer I can think of that's genuinely attempting to be exclusive is Ferrari, who is now trying to limit global sales to 7,000 vehicles per year, which will raise prices.

-----

Regardless, I think Tesla's strategy is the correct one. To say it worked for Porsche is an understatement -- hell, they used it to nearly buy VW from under the planet's nose.
"It is one thing to create special rules for national security," Gertner said. "Ordinary crime is entirely different. It sounds like they are phonying up investigations."

This makes me curious.

Is it possible to use homomorphic encryption to create a network of "dump pipes" for exchanging data?

Tor is slow because data has to hop from peer to peer until it hits its destination. What if the "nodes" between you and the recipient ran on a single machine? Clients would simply send a homomorphically encrypted program to a central server which merely executed it. The programs and the data exchanged could be completely transparent, you could even give law enforcement access, and assuming:

1. the homomorphic encryption is secure

2. your data passes through enough trustworthy peers

3. there are enough nodes involved for plausible deniability

...it would not be possible to identify the path data takes as it is routed around.

Or am I missing something?
Great ideas.

For the theme plugins, could you expand a bit on what you mean or how this would work?
Is that specifically for "serious"[1] accidents though? My point was more that there are plenty of accidents which you can brush yourself off and walk away from, that would lead to almost certain major damage to an unprotected phone on your handlebars.

Would be interested if you have the article ref though, if it is serious injury, I'd have expected cars to play a much bigger part.

In my country too, Brazil.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extradition

"Own nationals: Some countries, such as Brazil,[6] the Czech Republic,[7] France,[8][9] Germany,[10] Japan,[11] the People's Republic of China,[12] the Republic of China (Taiwan)[13] forbid extradition of their own nationals. These countries often have laws in place that give them jurisdiction over crimes committed abroad by or against citizens. By virtue of such jurisdiction, they prosecute and try citizens accused of crimes committed abroad as if the crime had occurred within the country's borders (see e.g. trial of Xiao Zhen)."
I'm not sure why he's switching from Google search to Duck Duck Go if he's concerned about privacy. Using any cloud service poses a risk and Google has one of the best records for privacy (check the EFF "Who's got your back" list.). Also, shutting off your Android phone instead of just not using the cloud & GPS services (and maybe installing a custom ROM if you're extra concerned) seems silly. Android works fine without Google's (or anyone else's) services.

Foursquare Cofounder Naveen Selvadurai Opens Up About His Exit
They weren't necessarily lying, -just omitting the cause prior to the traffic violation. If the traffic violation as primary cause was never challenged, they wouldn't technically be taking a position on the origin often. They'd simply state the facts: "Vehicle X was driving southbound on I-94 and failed to utilize a turn signal while switching lanes. I pulled car over and noticed x,y,z..."

As a police officer friend of mine told me many years ago "If I want to pull you over, there is nothing you can do to stop me. All I have to do is follow you for one mile and you're going to violate some portion of the traffic code."

I'm not defending this at all, as I think it is outrageous and that the link to harvested NSA data is beyond the pale . I'm just pointing out that this is, as the article mentioned, de rigueur, and when a technically legal starting point is provided, the defense likely almost never challenges that, thus eliminating the need for the prosecution to take a formal stance on the origin. Hopefully this begins to change.

I don't think the purpose of this is to actually have the tools, it's to go through the mental process of creating them. Similarly, writing compilers in Scheme for every language under the sun may not be the best way to get to produce production strength compilers, but it's a great way to learn languages.
TOR (and the internet as a whole) is going to always be insecure as long as javascript is enabled. That's just the way it is.

You can't execute code from an unknown source in a secure way. That's been demonstrated over and over again. HTML and CSS might be the extent of the UI that you can ship over the network...honestly, the best way to go would be to just expose the data contracts over the web and only ship DATA that can be marked as non-executable.
In the 80ies Zurich, Switzerland had a really bad problem with Heroin addicts and the related crimes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platzspitz_park). The problem went away completely and instantly when the state began issuing Heroin to addicted people in a controlled environment. Now that park is back to being one of the nicest places in the city.

The english Wikipedia article unfortunately doesn't talk about that program but only about "... and in 1992, police moved in to clear up the park..." which did clean the park but did nothing to solve the problem - the addicts and associated crime just crossed the river.

The only real fix for the issue was to destroy the market by just handing out the drug freely.

As usual, it's pretended to be all about 'protecting the children'.
Yet Freedom Hosting sets up an independent, unmonitored bank (Onion Bank), and ONE MONTH LATER gets destroyed.

Actually it's all about control of money.

Anyone who thinks the government, FBI, etc gives a damn about 'safety of the children' is hopelessly naive. And is exactly the kind of person who'll be fooled when the government _says_ they are 'doing it for the children'.

This is the same government that has bought 1.6 billion rounds of hollow point ammunition (and is buying more), and also forces ever-increasing numbers or ever more toxic immunization shots on infants. While denying the Autism and auto-immune disease epidemics have anything do do with inoculations. Oh, and also cheerfully fired hundreds of tons of depleted uranium munitions into Irag and Bosnia, resulting in vast suffering of countless deformed children, for thousands of coming generations.

The problem with that is you tend to start narrowing down the views and opinions in that group.

People who work in IT tend to be smarter, richer, more inclined to be left leaning in their politics and so on. They have expertise to understand the problem but they don't necessarily represent the views of the country which is what a jury is meant to do.
Strikes me as obvious pandering. Obviously for 99% of users Tor is more headache and overhead for no real benefit. Not to mention that most users would say "Why did my internets get so slow?" and not understand what was going on.
