The Han are doing well against the Uighurs; the Tibetans are doing a great job of holding their own. Han who move into Tibet suffer a variety of health problems.

And, obviously, I was referring to the Manchus, who overran China, Tibet, central Asia, etc., and administered it all together. The Manchus who conquered Tibet were the same Manchus as the Manchus who conquered China. Note that they are just as separate, ethnically and linguistically, from the Han as the Han are from the Tibetans (the Qing imperial family's surname was four syllables long!).

Imagine a horde of barbarians sweeping out of Mexico and taking over all of the US and Canada, administering all of North America as one big empire. After 2-300 years, the Mexicans fall from power, and ethnic Americans assume control of the empire. Would it make sense to talk about how the US took over Canada?
I'm not an anarcho-capitalist but I'm sympathetic to their views :) and often discuss with friends who are .

Many flat out deny the existance of natural monopolies, for example:

http://mises.org/journals/rae/pdf/rae9_2_3.pdf

Others argue that the hypothetical company would face competition by other means of transportation.

Finally, others who are not anarchists, speak of a libertarian government that would curb such abuses.

The Wikipedia article acknowledges your point:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-market_roads

"n many parts of the world land use patterns mean that building two or more highways in parallel isn't practicable. Kroeger claims, "This would result in an incredibly inefficient use of land resources."[citation needed] When there is only one highway connecting points A and B, the main advantage of privatization, competition, disappears. In absence of regulation a private highway operator is likely to charge an exorbitant monopoly price, resulting in huge profit margins and few benefits for drivers."
I'll explain: The cheap Android phones do this to earn a few bucks from the provider and/or crapware providers. The audience interested in cheap Android phones is less educated than people paying a premium for their phones. People pay a premium to get a good phone with a good experience. Crapware will kill marketshare.

If Windows Phone added crapware they'd be dead in the water. I can't see them doing this, there is too much competition in the market.

You are of course obviously correct.

Employees, at least those earning income from real labor, always share the downside of business income volatility. In fact, it's arguably an outsized share. One simply needs to observe the various employment metrics, and their rate of change. Particularly those tracking layoffs, discharges, and other involuntary separations initiated by employers.

What's perhaps even more illustrative are the comparisons of job requirements and starting salaries for positions with similar responsibilities; found in employment advertisements before, during, and after a "business cycle".

In fact I've read several studies showing that people who happen to graduate and enter the workforce during the nadir of financial crises earn, over the course of their entire career, substantially lower wages as compared to people who simply happen to enter the workforce at any other point of the business cycle.

No, they didn't! Forces available back then were too human-dependent, and a real inherently-human risk of treachery of changing sides have always been a concern for the leading circles. Nowadays there can be built automatic (i.e. reliable) self-sufficient and self-defending domains that would require a major external force to be brought under control. Just masses of people won't do it anymore.

You could even go further and assume all user resources are logical extensions of sleepy.Resource:

type HelloResource struct {
sleepy.Resource
}

This makes it clear that you're inheriting everything from sleepy.Resource, so you can provide reasonable implementations for all methods of resources, not just HTTP methods handlers, e.g. getBodyAsJSON(), redirect(resource), etc.

Also, depending on how your mux works, you could store app-level data in sleepy.Resource, to be accessed by all resources:

sleepy.Resource.DB
sleepy.Resource.Session
sleepy.Resource.Root

and other things I can't think of right now.
A great deal of the pain that Armin experienced is mostly due to the fact that Wheels are very new and aren't very polished yet.

Something isn't right here. 80MB of pcap data with 138k packets captured, but over 5 million connections to googleapis.com. That's 36 connections per packet. Also, if you add up the number of packets in the destination port table and divide that into 80MB, it works out to 4 bytes per packet. Which is a bit surprising considering IPv4 has a 20 byte header on every packet.

> Unless you want employees to share the downside of business income volatility, it's unreasonable to expect them to share the upside.

This is an incredibly dishonest statement. Employees DO indeed share the downside of business income volatility by being forced to take pay cuts when their company is going through a rough patch. I see it all the time and I've had it happen to me.

It sometimes amazes me how naive people are. The reality is that since the patriot act, the entire intelligence community has had access to any information they need. One needs to be delusional to think that they do not already have access to your emails, browsing history, phone call conversations in both audio and text versions, mapping points of where you have been throughout the day. They collect a very wide net of data that they can later scan through for any reason. And no, that data isn't deleted after a certain time frame.

Why are articles like this so shocking?

Have any of you guys had IQT reach out to you, the CIA's investment ARM? They are very active in finding tech companies that can decipher this data, profile everyone automatically, categorize people, and try to predict their next behaviors.
{EDIT: I really hope people were risk assessing and choosing an appropriate provider. Sadly, many people weren't and were choosing what they thought was secure. This is why the newer crypto tools get a lot of hostile scrutiny. Not because people don't want them, but because they have to operate in a hostile environment and consequences of failure can be severe. If prison is a risk you need have a lot to learn about encryption and privacy.}

There should be legal controls over what information is seized. Requests should need a warrant, signed by a judge. "Accidental" seizures of too much information should be reported to the body who provides scrutiny and oversight.

Some of those accidental seizures should be criminal offences and lead to punishments for the agencies involved. (Or the individuals).

While the UK has a lousy record on this (with bizarre interpretations of law so spies can say they obey the law) the reports from the scrutineers are interesting reading.

Some parts of the UK government use statistics carefully and they have real statisticians available to produce and review the charts. This document? I'm not so sure. While the raw data can be trusted the use of pie-charts is usually a flag for me, and this document does include a few of them.
A two stroke marine diesel is very different from a gasoline two stroke. Only intake is done through the cylinder wall ports and exhaust is through poppet valves at the top. (Uniflow) Also lubrication is done like in four strokes. There is no crankcase compression, instead turbochargers are used.

Brazilian here. We get, by law, 30 days every year. We get 1+1/3 normal pay on those days.

You can choose to "sell" 10 of those 30 days and work (getting paid your normal wage plus the vacation money), but you HAVE to take the other 20 days off.

If you choose to take the 30 days, you can split them in two periods. If you split them in 12 and 18 days, you can put your vacation days between weekends and effectively get 5 weeks off.

Of course, that's for regularly employed (meaning "working for someone else") people. If you have your own business or work as a freelancer, there's no regulation.

They share some risk in the form of correlations to the actual risk to their employment contracts. But employees who are fired during downturns walk away with all of their human capital and most of their future earning potential (minus what the firing signals in their CV), while the downturn chips away at the firm's capital.

Let me put this another way: no one is really entitled to a job; not in the way their entitled to their properties, which have a _title to their name_. Capital, on the other hand, risks its very entitlement. Employees don't have any assets seized during a downturn. If they wanted to share in the risk and return, they could have bought stock.

I get 25 days in NL. I'm an expat, and have no kids.

I always take at least one 3+ week vacation, either to visit my home country (US) or to backpack. For me it's very important to completely disconnect from work for a while, it puts things in perspective, gives me more motivation, and brings me back ready to disrupt my previous work routine for the better.

The rest of the days I use 1-2 at a time to make a long weekend here and there (Nature or city trips).

Well I was an O2 customer. Sky bought O2 last year and in the effort to maintain their customer-base they will give you silly offers if you argue with them for long enough. It's usually £20.50/month including line rental but I argued it down to £7.50/month on the basis I stayed with them for 12 months.

No catch. Confirmed no traffic management, no download limit, free router, free migration. This is purely for customer retention.

I'm 800m away from the exchange and get 12.2Mbits down and 1.1Mbits up.

I pull an average of 120Gb/month over the line with no problems.

Edit: just to add I was paying £35.50/month with O2 before which is crazy amounts.

It should be great!. I'm not overly concerned, we had our own riots and disruptions prior to the Olympics in 2012 here but when it got to the point of the event common sense prevailed and everyone seemed to get behind it.

I was in Bangkok during the riots a few years ago and then Crete during the Greek ones, just being sensible helps you navigate around those sort of things.
In Canada, depending on the province you're in, everyone gets about 9-13 days of stat holidays. On top of that, the typical amount of actual vacation time in private industry is 2 weeks, in government about 3 weeks. That amount of time off goes up slowly over time of course.

I work at a university and get 12 stat days + 15 holidays = 27 days per year. That sounds like a lot more on paper than it is in real life =)
> moral and fiscal responsibility

Left to their own devices there are no morals in business. The only fiscal responsibility is to keep profits high.

You mean the Human Resources. You don't complain when any other resource is sold or retired to save money, why should the business care specially about this resource type?

Now ask how it can be different in prison?

It is not mandatory, you can take vacation whenever you want to (as long as it's granted of course).

Another interesting fact about Swedish law is that you are free to leave your job for further education if you want. Max 6 months and when you come back, the employers is required by law that you recieve the same sort of job tasks and the same amount of pay of course.

The employer has the right to decide when you may leave for max 6 months ahead in the future.

I think the reason people are opposed to PC is the same why people are opposed to insurance companies knowing too much - we don't want them to perform their job (identifying crime, keeping a good probability distribution of bad events over population) in an optimal way, because the more wrong they are (to a limit), the more society benefits.

I'm not sure what to think of it; it's just an observation.

Generally speaking, most of the biggest and most profitable businesses don't have a single owner, but are instead traded on stock markets. People who own the shares are not people who run the company. The managers, people who run the company, have an obligation to maximize the profits (in US, and probably UK), otherwise the shareholders can sue them for loosing their money, even if they did the morally right thing. In Germany, however, profit maximization is not the only goal, but businesses can consider other stakeholders as well (employees, community, environment, ...)
Hostgator is such a shitty hosting company. Would not recommend.
My immediate though on hearing this story on NPR was "well, this is pretty much exactly the situation that affects much of system, site, and application monitoring".

For the engineer designing a system, providing an alert or alarm is the safe option. If something goes wrong and you don't alert on it, there's hell to pay. If something doesn't go wrong and you do ... well, CYA and all that.

The problem is that the person (or team) responsible for assessing alarms has to constantly filter signal from noise, and this can be difficult. Similarly for filtering out relevant from mundane information in system logs.

I've spent months re-engineering and tweaking Nagios and other monitoring such that noncritical situations don't trigger alerts, and properly configuring relationships such that fundamental errors suppress derivative ones. If you've configured Nagios to, say, send pages an alerts, you can rapidly DoS your own sysadmin / DevOps team when something does go wrong simply from the cascade of alerts.

More specifically: following a few top-level health indicators, and logging other metrics, has proven to be one of the most effective means of maintaining system stability. Literally a periodic load of a top-level (or representative) page(s), with response time indicated, and color-coding to indicate if you're in the healthy (green), warning (yellow), or unhealthy (red) zone, plus logging of results. It's the sort of thing that can be crafted in a small shell script and displayed in a corner of your monitor.
