> People whose faith on free markets have been challenged by the recent "troubles" have a potential crisis

Humans acting stupidly and making bad decisions happens under all economic and political systems. People say things like, "Capitalism is rocky and prone to booms and busts..." but that's a bit off. Despotism, feudalism, slavery-based economies, communism, and so on have all had booms and busts. Humans make bad decisions regardless of how the conditions are. Regulated/unregulated, free/restricted, decentralized/centralized, it doesn't matter - people make bad decisions in all of these conditions.

Throughout history, once bad decisions are made, people are willing to give themselves over to leaders who promise they have the answers and reassure people. These leaders create new power structures that may or may not help fix the problem. Once the emergency passes, the new power structures are retained and used to further agendas. This gradually leads to a legal code and government with complex and inconsistent laws, which is one of the reasons all nations and empires fall eventually. It's not specifically a capitalism/free market thing at all.

Sure! The host side of things is Python/wxWidgets. It compiles down to a ST80-style VM. It follows the blue book design pretty closely, except for changes here and there to work better on the target hardware (ARM7, 16K RAM, 64K flash). Bytecodes are a little more compact (under 3K bytecodes for the entire system), a compacting collector instead of a 2-space (8K of heap), classes and literals are immutable (they're stored in flash).

The VM talks the host via simple debug protocol (usb to real hardware, tcp on simulator). The debug protocol can download code, start/stop execution, and request serialised objects. The stacktrace (which is as far as the "debugger" goes currently) is implemented by requesting the root context on the stack, which then lets you get all the other frames, as well as inspect instance vars / temps.

There's no floating point support at the moment, but it can do a really bad rendition of the Mario theme song on the little piezo beeper (I've got an attempt at a 2 channel sound synthesizer in the VM, but the speaker on my hardware just mangles it)!
Maybe DJs can use this create a smooth flow from song to song. They can preset the time beforehand when the songs should change and when one the stopwatch the 'effects' should be added. If this is possible, they can effictively sit back and relax.
A fun experiment relating to the brain's ability to rewire itself:

Put your hand under one of these toys like the image: http://ubuyonline.com.au/images/toys/pictures%20018_0.jpg

Now put an object or your other hand on the other side of the pins (between the pins and the plastic). Watch your transposed 'fingers' interact with the object. Eventually you will start to feel like your fingers have actually moved to the end of the pins.

I think this is the brain rewiring itself to correlate spacial sensation to what the eyes are observing. No matter what causes this, it's an interesting sensation.

Announcing Microsoft Ajax Library (Preview 6) and the Microsoft Ajax Minifier
Honestly, I'm more than happy with my bank (JP Morgan/Chase) staying as one big conglomerate. They certainly proved they knew what they were doing during the crisis and have managed to stay on top of things. The government doesn't have the right to punish private corporations for being too good, too smart, and too successful; though they have a huge track record of trying to do so.
That would be a highly suspicious situation, considering the fact that J. Haider died in a car accident more than a year ago.

Jeremy Clarkson on: supercars
Who are the ones robbing us blind here? The problem wasn't so much the underwritten credit derivatives - for which there's an actual genuine business need, but rather governments who have enabled companies like Goldman Sachs (AIG, and Lehman - which the government of course let go under), instead of letting these guys get reborn through some type of accelerated bankruptcy structure or better yet, collapse to be replaced by nimbler, smaller competitors.
Actually the 100m and 200m records are about the same speed. It's 9.58 for the 100m and 19.19 for the 200m. And before this August when Bolt shattered his previous 100m record, the 200m record was significantly faster than the 100m.

But in any case, both miles and marathons are incredibly intense workouts. In fact, from a physiological standpoint, middle distances are more intense than sprints. Less than 400m isn't even enough to push someone to their lactate threshold. Short sprints are run on the fuel already in the muscles. Obviously, it still takes intense training (and the right genes) to sprint well, though.
My feeling is that tags would be so much easier to use than lists. But everybody seems to go the list route (including the Twitter clients).

Maybe they're large projects because people are using IDE's ;) clicking once to insert getter/setter/hashcode/tostring/etc instead of writing what is necessary.

idk depends how large you're talking.

* Never use a debugger, it's usually pointless.
* I hardly ever use getters and setters, and write by hand if needed.
* hashCode/equals/toString by hand when they're needed.

I also hate the thought of an IDE refactoring my code. I've seen it before, and I've seen it break stuff.

It's just typing :/

Authors of novels could use auto-complete. They could tab complete characters names. I expect they could use built in sentence constructs, or even re-factor parts of the novel. But they don't.

the article seems to reference a format and reinstall. I'm quite sure an upgrade path exists for windows 7, why would they bother with the xp virtualisation for older programs with no way to upgrade and keep those programs.
The problem is, good architects make the same claims, only with proof and arguments to back them. So this depends on you being able to tell the good architects from the bad ones at first.. which kinda defeats the purpose.
The author sounds bitter to me. Perhaps he has a new, fresh-faced and enthusiastic junior programmer on the team and feels threatened?
Open source, huh. Will they be accepting patches?
i noticed it too. the "young programmer" is certainly emphasized.
Sounds like a personal incident. I wouldn't agree that these are generic statements made by any aspring newbie. As ComputerGuru said, good architects prove their points. Maybe this "kid" is trying to get more formal in his communication and broad in his thinking. For all you know, he was trying to impress the author :)
They said the exact same thing a year ago about the cornucopia of phones that would come out in 2009
Hahah. I wish I was a programmer on the team, the lead programmer doesn't force the new guy to actually think about what he is doing.

Not bitter, but have seen it so many times before. I'm pretty sure I was that young programmer just yesterday.
“This will put us in a great position to make changes in the future.”

Programming with future requirements in mind is worthless, but re-factoring to make your code more reusable/flexible is not.

I think the general thought is that a few banks would fail, nobody would really care (because they are sleaze anyway) and everything would continue as normal. errh.. no.

They let a few banks die and look at the global effect. Imagine if they let everything tumble down.

The banks are very-very tightly coupled together, such that the whole system nearly collapsed.

Thats not just the finance industry, thats the whole economy.
I think using the ban hammer like that is an indication that something is broken, but I don't see how you can avoid another ban (and a swifter one) by resubmission. It's been banned twice now. Why would the third time be any different ?
"Now this method of "business" is only possible if the government continues to allow these crooked insurance contracts to be written in secret, allows them to hold little or no money in reserve for payment "

This is what I don't understand. Why is the government responsible? Shouldn't the buyer of an insurance make sure that they are getting their money's worth? If the insurance is not transparent enough, it is just another reason not to buy.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) HN is an ashhole-rich, no-broken-windows kind of place. That means that anything that smacks of something that might be bad one day is usually trounced out quickly. (With some curious exceptions)

Greenspan is the poster boy and enabler of this thing. Way back in June 2005 I registered http://AlansBubble.com to memorialize him. Sadly, but not surprisingly, this same "bubble ==> crash ==> bailout" will happen again in the not too distant future, except it will be bigger.

What can be done? Here are some ideas from Nassim Nicholas Taleb: "Ten Principles for a Black Swan-proof World": http://chrisco.wordpress.com/2009/06/10/ten-principles-for-a... (see also the Nouriel Roubini links there)
It's not insurance. It's a credit default swap which is a financial instrument and AFAIK not regulated as much as insurance.

Insurance is really the wrong word, even though the article uses it.

I'm not sure how nobody is going after the credit rating agencies. They're the ones that rate how stable a bank is.
Not getting into what I think of the conclusions of this article...

I really hate articles like this. There is nothing specifically stated to back up the conclusion. Give specific actions taken by Goldman and show why that exploted people.

Secondly, even if some groups within Goldman did do this, its a vast oversimplification to say "Godlman Sachs Is Robbing Us Blind." I know, its hard to get very nuanced in an article like this, but at least state which divisions of Goldman did this. A lot of groups in Goldman are not structuring products. Some of them are facilitating trade of other companies, some are just buying and selling stock, some of them are doing economic research, etc...

An article like this is meant to provoke anger, and thats fine. Without getting people really mad, nothing will ever change (I mean this in a broader context as well, not just with respect to Goldman). If a large power financial institution is truly using dishonest methods to rob us, we should figure out what to do. I just wish there was some reference to a cold hard fact, a link to further reading which wasn't just the article itself on the huffington post or something to allow people to make an informed decision.

Ah well.

Edit: Spelling, a few additions.
This is a very cool use of EC2: essentially a customizable map server as an appliance.
Um, so you basically claim that smaller countries tend to have more often more extreme governments? I don't think this is the case. And why wouuld it?

Icelanders vote for sane middle of the road goverments. Even during the financial crisis (which hit Iceland disproportionately) they didn't go extreme. Why would it be easy to change that? Easier than with larger countries?

That we agree on.
I would expect a modern language to be like Limbo: http://limbo.cat-v.org
It's not an easy choice - but the anger is a bit misplaced insofar as Goldman Sachs goes given that the "us" here was complicit.

The question isn't so much allowing everything tumble down but provide a structure where banks can quickly deal with the losses/asset revaluations and be reborn so that depositors don't fear for the safety of their deposits. To suggest that the choice was binary and that we could have either saved them or let the world descend into chaos as silly as it is untrue.

Instead we've created a system where bankers have gotten rewarded for taking outsized risks without fear of the downside and the supposed "systemic" risk has gotten even larger as those massive banks have become even larger.

All forms of insurance are financial instruments. Not all forms of insurance are as regulated. Premiums are another word for savings/downpayments for some potential future payout. Insurance is an appropriate word for credit default swaps - as it is insuring against the default on a given loan.

In this case, I have my doubts as to how significant the role CDS's played in the crisis in the first place given that after they were all netted out, the actual size of the market was nowhere near the initial scare numbers put out in the press. Here's a decent overview of how the market works: http://www.wilmott.com/blogs/satyajitdas/index.cfm/2009/4/12...

More here: http://seekingalpha.com/article/138047-how-cds-spreads-affec...

In the aftermath I figure we'll probably find that the much larger issue was in the debt markets and fears of the underlying asset values related to subprime cascaded down to other loans.
Outblaze blocking Moniker registered domains ?
Hello HN'ers, I've just received an email that contains evidence that outblaze has blocked moniker.com registered domains from sending email on account of:

"Your domain is registered and has DNS on a registrar called Moniker,
which we have blocked due to multiple spam issues (with over a thousand
moniker registered domains getting blocked by us every week till we put
this filter in).

Please switch your domain away from Moniker and your email should get
through "

Can anybody confirm this ?

Moniker is a major registrar with an absolutely stellar reputation and I'm quite shocked that Outblaze (which just sold their email arm to IBM) would take such a step.

And if you are going to block entire registrars because of spam then there must be better targets than moniker, whose reputation many other registrars would love to have.
We most certainly could catch up - as is often noted in just about every post on evolution v. creation I've read, evolution is a very inefficient process in terms of time required to accomplish change.

Kurzweil's graphs on the human and machine acceleration of evolution spring to mind as well (the logarithmic curve).
