The thing about economics though is it's about the average case, not the individual case. There's always going to be winners and losers, but as long as the winners beat out the losers things work okay. I think a future dedicated towards decentralized/distributed micro-economies relying on coordination and communication would be ideal, because it could prevent exactly what your town experienced. Automation in conjunction with networking could make your town a viable manufacturing micro-hub, for example, instead of those sorts of things being shipped off to Shenzhen. I'd argue The reason china is such a power house is precisely because we don't have the automation necessary to compete with them.
It's one of the points mentioned in the report on Google. It's one of the reasons they are being fined. And the cookie directive is an incredibly stupid idea floated by people who don't understand technology.
My earliest memory is of riding on my mother's lap in a tank. My older sister tells me I must have been less than 18 months old as this would have been a family day event at Fort Benning Georgia in the fall before we left for Germany. I was born in June, so this puts me around age 15 to 17 months. So the tank must have made a really big impression on me.

While in therapy in my twenties, at some point, I spontaneously remembered my own birth. In my teens, I knew a woman who claimed to remember her own birth. I think she was born outside and there was snow on the ground, so perhaps the shock of it made an impression?

My oldest son is able to access his early childhood memories. He is a visual and kinesthetic thinker and had trouble learning to talk. It took practice for him to be able to access them reliably and it involved him essentially translating them into English for the first time. I accidentally tripped across the fact that he had memories from infancy, which is a longish story that I don't have time to type out.

Short version: I think there is still lots to be learned about how early memories are formed, accessed, etc.

That isn't actually the case, just the rational used to make the choice. Actual experience has shown that commercial users simply avoid restrictive licensed projects, and frequently give back contributions to liberally licensed projects. Ogre3d for example switched from LGPL to MIT and got more contributions from the commercial software world.
> When assessing risks of this size, I am glad that JPM seemed to be asking all the right questions about Madoff (which no one else, not even the SEC, was asking), it is funny JPM is being penalized for this.

It's amazing what JPM is being held liable for. I think it sets a terrible precedent that they were basically fined $13B for acquiring WaMu and Bear Sterns in the financial crisis. I can't imagine another bank cooperating with the government to takeover another failed bank. You would simply need too much time for due diligence to ensure that there was no illegal activity - ever - at the bank to be acquired.

Coffee in other places is expensive precisely because the price is a stand-in for table-space and queuing rent. The cafe charges for the opportunity cost of someone peeking in seeing the line too long or the tables too full and running out. Same thing with corkage charges—wine-drinkers longer longer.

The person who runs into a place like this, grabs food and a latte, and runs out is not doin them economic harm.

Startup Google Adwords advice from a PPC consultant
When I was at U of T, I used to blame all the coffee shops being filled with students on the university not providing adequate work/study space for its 44,000 students (a few of my friends got banned from a nearby Second Cup after using a booth at the back to solder circuit boards for a design project).

After graduating I moved to the suburbs, where Starbucks is rammed with high school students doing homework but the public library across the street is empty despite having more comfortable seating, faster Wi-Fi and you know, actually being intended as an open public space for quiet reading and study.
Beautiful! coffee visualization is my favorite.
There are a handful of coffee shops that actively don't want to be used by laptop/tablet users, and one way they signal that is by not offering wifi. It's not quite as effective a deterrent as it used to be with the advent of cheapish mobile data plans that have tethering, but it can give you an indication of what the shop expects its usage to be. Fins Coffee in Santa Cruz, CA is an example of a shop without wifi.

Given how heavily Starbucks not only offers but advertises its free Wifi (as does McDonald's), my guess is that they do actually intend their stores to attract laptop/tablet users.

Stephen -- really good points. I think the breadth of the countries is still surprising / bizarre. While Nigeria does sound plausible based on your comment, others like Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Barbados, etc do not have the same characteristics and so def a bit stranger.

Yes they do. They have exactly the same rights microsoft enjoyed, over the exact same code microsoft enjoyed those rights. They don't have the rights to microsofts code, which is a completely different thing.

The argument that software that you're not allowed to use in certain ways is somehow more free just doesn't pass the sniff test for me. RMS's rationale is very much an "ends justify the means" argument: it takes away immediate freedoms to promote freedom at large. My point is that for many kinds of software the means of imposing legal restrictions simply isn't necessary to achieve the same ends – the freedom of the software maintains itself just fine for technical rather than legal reasons.
It's interesting it specifies mothers - this suggests that there was a difference with the effect with fathers. Or that they only looked at children who never chat with their fathers?
Also, quite refreshing to read an article by someone who apparently has some experience with Wall Street.

According to his bio he worked in investment banking at Goldman and was an M&A lawyer before that. When I first found his column I went through and read a bunch of them. They're all all pretty good. If you like that sort of financial journalism from the perspective of former practitioners, another good one is Matthew C Klein who I guess used to work at Bridgewater Associates.

TFA defends JPM and skeptically deconstructs the accusation, so this comment is forehead-slappingly stupid.

If someone comes to an investment bank and asks for access to something that the investment bank knows is a fraud, and the bank provides it and takes the fee, while ending up short the fraud... that's a bit of a problem.

As Madoff's banker with billions of dollars on deposit, JPMorgan can see every cash flow. But apparently, they don't notice the disconnect between the business he claims to be doing and the cash, because the banker doesn't even know what the account is for. So much for asking all the right questions.

Late in the game, a different part of JPMorgan does a tiny amount of due diligence, and realizes Madoff is a fraud.

They don't tell the SEC.

They don't talk to Madoff's banker.

They take the money out of Madoff funds, effectively going short.

They don't tell clients it's a fraud, but basically we don't like it and we like either stuff better, try to move them into other investments.

They're in a conflicted position as his banker, to rat him out to clients or authorities.

But basically they should have realized something was amiss sooner, and they should have notified the authorities.
That's possible, but I do think there are enough travelers in these countries to account for a lot of the "surprises" they're finding.

I still hang out with many people I've known since I was 2/3. Seeing them basically every day at school for ~11 years helped keep those memories of when we were 2/3 fresh, I think. Seeing them now again The result is similar - I have very good memories of being 2-6, but for almost the opposite reason as you it seems. My childhood was incredibly continuous and yours was discontinuous. Maybe we're both flukes...

It's not checking you against a sexism filter - it is subtly pointing out the pervasive gender assumptions society has.

It's in all likelihood an innocent mistake on your side - but the accumulation of those tiny things is, in the long run, "not fun"(tm). It doesn't matter that they're innocent mistakes, it matters that it is a constant thing.

So, please, don't consider this an attack, but a polite request to double-check the next time you make a gendered reference to somebody. Every time you do check, you'll have made life a tiny bit better for the women in the field.

I don't mean cost in terms of software efficiency. I mean that Firefox phones are generally going to cost less (in terms of money) than Android ones. As a plus, you don't have to tie your phone to any company's services (Google, Apple, etc). And don't forget that Firefox OS is much newer than Android, so you really can't compare them side-by-side like that.

Let's drop the dramatic fanboyism, hmm?

There are probably more than 10 "anticafes" in Saint-Petersburg(as "Ziferblat" had great success after opening in early 2012). Some of them are profitable, AIK. Ziferblat is the good place for hanging out, but too noisy to work(many students playing table games around). If you want to work, better choices are "3rd place"("tretje mesto"), me4ta.tv(far away from center, but best choice probably if you're staying in northern districts of the city) or even IMarussia.

P.S. In Saint-Petersburg's Ziferblat, you can take coffee-to-go for free but donations are highly welcomed.

Not necessarily. In developing countries like India, CPC is much much less and hence it is possible to create a profitable Adwords campaign.
Seriously, I can't imagine not remembering anything from elementary school and middle school, hell, I remember my first grade vividly, the jokes we used to tell and the games my friends and I used to play on the school playground, the names of my teachers and even some memorable exam grades I had!
My earliest concrete memories was from when I was two years old, and I remember quite a few things from around that age. And no, they are not from pictures since I remember domestic arguments and fights between my parents, and I know it's before I was 3 since my mother left the country when I was 3.

Which versions are these? I ask because, to lawyers, pagination matters -- a LOT. Lawyers refer to a case by the book and page number, and refer to parts of a case by the page numbers. It's probably not a great system, but the courts don't have anchors in text for better or worse. Also, what version is it as to corrections? Most courts issue typo changes after the fact. Most are minor, but a few do materially affect the meaning (such as changing the page numbers of the parts of a different case that have been overruled).

Don't get me wrong, it's better than nothing, but to get any buy-in from existing lawyers these issues need to be addressed. I'm concerned that they haven't on the site.
You don't remember elementary school and middle school? May I ask how old you are now? I still have friends I occasionally talk to from elementary school, and I vividly remember the stuff I did back in kindergarten as well.

>In contrast, children aged 8 and 9 recalled fewer than 40 per cent of the events they'd discussed at age 3, but those memories they did recall were more adult-like in their content. //

If the memories recalled were more adult like at a later age that suggests children recalled things at a later age that they didn't (couldn't?) recall at an earlier age.

This seems to me the most important insight in the article in respect of recall, that one would need greater understanding in order to recall details that one couldn't recall earlier. But mostly that recall is not [completely] limited by cognition.

I'm guessing that the results didn't really show that though ...

These sorts of articles just make me want to do research to rigorously address the obvious questions that don't appear to be addressed.

I wonder about other thing. I don't remember when (circa 10?), but I remember that some day I fully get a very sad tougth: I can't dream anymore as a child.

I have the tendency to run the same kind of "history" in my dreams (obviously, awake!) before sleep then continue it later. I remember that I was playing a kind of war history or something (I forgot), and for the life of me, I can't do it like before. Now I only get stuck, and things are not fluid.

Exist some info about this? When is not possible anymore to have (on command) the same vivid dream bending as a child?

Generics have nothing to do with inheritance and the factory pattern.

Where do I say such a thing? I'm saying that generics are both overrated and overused.

Factories are basically a workaround for functions not being able to be freestanding (unattached to a class) in Java (the "kingdom of nouns"), a problem that Go doesn't have.

Being the "Kingdom of Nouns" is kinda the point of Smalltalk/Objective-C style OO. (Though Alan Kay once famously said that when he thought of OO, he was not thinking of Java.) That said, while it is nice to have someplace to put functions, there are times when it's also nice not to be forced to attach them to a class. Not so sure it's a problem as much as it's just a particular approach with its advantages and drawbacks.

Where do you get that Factories are "a workaround for functions not being able to be freestanding?"

Tangential graph criticism:

If you aren't going to put "zero" at the bottom of the Y axis, and you have graphs with only a single numbered data tick, then I have no idea whatsoever the value that correlates to a Y axis position. (except when it hits your label.) If you have fewer than 3 labeled data ticks then I don't even know if you are linear.

Starting your data at zero is a really good idea unless you really mean to be graphing the derivative, in which case, maybe you should just graph the derivative. The exception is when you have a constant offset in the concept you are graphing. Like atmospheric pressure on earth. But please give me at least three ticks and try to leave them consistently spaced if I'm every going to see another graph of them from you.

Including unlabeled ticks, evenly spaced, is a terse visual language that you are a linear graph.

Excerpt:

>I have no particular insight into Stripe's product roadmap, but my guess is that they probably won't put 5% + $0.05 pricing into the market anytime soon. That pricing would put them underwater on individual transactions, since it costs more than that to process a charge to a credit / debit card.

>Amazon and PayPal can only do it because a) PayPal can sometimes process payments to a user's bank account (instead of their credit / debit card) or pull funds from a user's existing PayPal balance, which costs them next to nothing and b) Amazon also sometimes routes payments through a bank account, but they also don't have high margins and can live with some 'loss leader' transactions.

I moved when I was 7 too, but I recall very little of my early memories. Actually, most of them seem to be memories of reading the kind of holidays logs that I used to draw and write with my mom, rather than memories of the events themselves.

My wife only moved when she was older than that, and she has a lot more very early memories, so I'm not sure it is actually linked with moving.
