The result can be seen in Great Britain:

Former British prime minister Thatcher ("Iron Lady") decided, that the future is in the service sector. Also the most lucrative service sector was the finance sector. So it was fostered to a big extend and the finance sector of London is one of if not the biggest industries of GB.

In fact, it is all that is left of the former Empire. All other industries of GB are not competitive any more. Car industry is not and many of the well known car brands are already sold to other car corporations. Mini belongs to BMW, so does the renowned "Rolls-Royce" brand, Rover was sold and sold again, now belonging to Tata.

The concentration to the finance sector did the other industries of the British isle not well. All what is left, is finance and so Britain is struggling and fighting every time, when the EU wants to regulate the finance sector.

They are captives of their own system.
I view taxes like stamps, don't like to pay for them. Perhaps I am taking it for granted, but seems like they take a large chunk. I want to get as much back as possible, especially if I am not ever able to take advantage of any special programs and gov't assistance, and may never see my social security. In my mind, I am paying for other people is my simplified answer.

The bizarre side effect of online reputation management is the legions of writers that are being paid to produce content only for Google to "read".

I met such a writer in Europe a few years ago and interviewed her for a podcast: http://7thkingdom.org/2013/05/episode-12-writing-google-seo-...

It is odd when a writer makes more money writing for Algorithms than for humans.

Right, that idea that water would flow constantly across the terminator is nuts. The water would blow to the cold side and freeze there.

Also, give all that was said, probably no life there at all. Our Moon may have been instrumental in generating life. Tides and rotation meant constant motion of water on shores, combined with day/night heat/cold wet/dry. Every grain of sand on every beach was a different biochemical petri dish for billions of years, resulting ultimately in the cell.

A tide-locked no-day-night planet would likely be sterile.

Online credit card payments are not ubiquitous or well supported in Thailand.

When we first got here, my wife couldn't pay our phone+internet bill (using the third largest telecom in the country) online, because they need to whitelist card numbers on accounts because of fraud (or so we were told).

When we tried it once with my (then) Australian Visa card, it failed miserably and the app dumped out a PHP stack trace in its web view with a SCARY amount of information exposed to me.

Even things like using a banks' "Pay Bill" feature is apparently not reliable here, because payments somehow don't turn up in a timely fashion or they don't know they've arrived or something.

People do what they're comfortable with and what they know - just like how staff always ask for a signature on the bottom of a credit card slip that clearly says "signature not required" because I used a PIN.
Reading the Airbnb story now, thanks for the links.
I think that was the point of the podcast. It started as a typical and shitty CakePHP / Backbone CRUD app like everything else. You don't need much to get started.

There's a lot more in there now, but it's still built around boring record keeping software. I wouldn't even say accounting software.

We're ingesting shitloads of geospatial data specific to each field from government and third party sources, from weather data like historical rainfall and temperature, to in season and historical satellite imagery, to sensor readings from their own combines or smartphones.

This is going to help farmers understand their fields and how their crops are growing better and soon allow us to provide agronomic services like variable rate prescriptions. We're not predicting yield from NDVI. There is a correlation there, but like you said it's moderate.
Thats actually not so stupid: you could donate your miliseconds to whatever cause or group you believe in and they would then get a pooled time to speak with the politician. Can't get ten thousand people in the US to care about your cause? Then the cause likely suck.

There are certainly other, better options, but it is not clear that it is as bad as you suggested.
No. You can write it in whatever you want (even on iOS these days) though you can't depend on any third party pre-installations. IOW you need to be able to vendor in your 3rd party language and library dependencies, and use a thin Objective-C wrapper to make the whole thing natively executable.

This announcement is more about a feature in Objective-C being actively discouraged by refusing to distribute your app on their store. You can still use it if you distribute your app on your own.

You have a point, of course. Also the whole "everything old was better" effect, to which I'll admit I'm prone.

However, I think part of the problem with today's CGI is not only that it's so often badly done; I think the main problem is the excessive application of it.

CGI can be used tastefully or poorly; here Sturgeon's law applies. The thing is, nowadays CGI (especially when badly done) is more convenient than the traditional ways of old movies. Note I'm not arguing using them isn't a trade-off; just that they are way more convenient than traditional SFX. You can do lots of CGI in your movie, especially if it's the cheap kind and you don't have any good taste. I'm no film-maker, but I guess in the past, even bad SFX directors were constrained in what they could do, and how much they could do. You wouldn't have been able to sprinkle your movie with that many poor effects, simply because even bad effects were expensive and hard to do. And this applied even more to good effects!

With decent film-makers, the "let's try to do the best with limited resources" effect kicked in, and I think it's one of the best and most motivating effects for artists, whether they want to admit it or not.

Take a look at the classic example of George Lucas' Tattooine and Mos Eisley. In the original, because budget was limited and SFX harder to do, it looked like a desolate Western-inspired town in a barren desert planet. You can just picture the tumbleweed rolling by, a few strangers in the streets eyeing each other, the silhouette of the occasional monstrous beast of burden in the distance.

After SFX became more practical, and Lucas retooled the scene, almost everyone who isn't him agreed it was worsened instead of improved. Because now he had the budget and the tools to "improve" the scene, he added buildings, lens flare, lots of fake-looking computerized beasts everywhere (where before, the obviously fake-looking rubber beasts were used sparingly because they were expensive AND fake), robots, until every feature of the SFX toolset had been used at least once. The effect of a barren, desolate desert town was lost because access to easier CGI was available and George Lucas knew no restraints.

I think George Lucas didn't change; what changed was his budget and access to better tools. In a way, worse tools made him a better film-maker.

I suspect a similar effect applies to many modern CGI-fests: they probably wouldn't be superb movies anyway, but they are made even worse by unrestrained access to CGI tools.
A couple problems - when there's even a tiny wobble the goldilocks zone will alternate from extreme freezing to extreme heat. The other problem is that the atmosphere will eventually fully condense on the cold side of the planet.
The thing is, if you put any arbitrary DNS name in the subject, Superfish will tag it as verify_fail. as you show, but it also passes through Subject Alternative Name untouched; if you just put the host you want to spoof in the SAN instead of the subject, Superfish will pass it through and the certificate will appear valid to the browser.

So, no need to chain to the "real" Superfish root cert, you just need to craft the SAN properly and chain to anything, or self-sign.
I believe the examples of animal tool-using are instinctual, not planned. So yes they use tools, and I guess the sea snail that sticks rocks to its shell is using 'tools' as well. But there's something qualitatively different in honing your tool and inventing new tools. Like we do.
I'm reminded of the Roman Colosseum (albeit as portrayed in the movies). We are the mob, ready to boo and hiss and condemn a gladiator to death for the mistake of being on the wrong side of public opinion.

And since the internet does not forget, those convicted in the court of public opinion can never repent, can never reform, and can never make amends. Their lives from that day forward are defined by that history.

In a way, the chilling impact this has on our speech and our actions scares me a bit more than the government's effect on free speech. After all, the government's decisions can usually be challenged. The mob is, as phrased in the movie Gladiator, fickle. You could do nothing wrong and still be deprived of the ability to work, imprisoned by fear, all with no chance of appeal.

> A business wanting to make more money by charging for their good/bad/ok product? how evil.

A business encouraging governments to throw people in jail for something which has never been considered a criminal infraction in order to make more money is pretty evil.

I would never dream of asking a government to throw somebody in jail for pirating my software. The benefit that I get (ostensibly deterrence) is minuscule in comparison to the human cost of a criminal record and even a short stint in jail.

If you have to implement a payment gateway, how is it not a smart thing to carefully consider your vendor? That definitely seems like a priority to me.

I don't think there is any business decision involving costs that I want to make assumptions about or blindly select a "default option". Especially not one that represents a percentage of raw revenue.

Debugging with lldb: no crash;
Running from springboard: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGKILL - CODESIGNING)
Currently our recommendation is to use an if (DEBUG) block around your initialization and then use proguard to remove the dead code in release. We are working on a better solution which allows you to use build flavors in gradle. The proguard solution is how Facebook apps strip it out today, however.

That said, it is safe to ship the stetho engine in your release apps and it adds virtually no runtime overhead to initialize due to our deferred init design. For instance, Chrome for Android ships with the same system we have and it is always enabled even for release builds.

See https://github.com/facebook/stetho/issues/16 to track our progress addressing this issue.
I thought this vulnerability was due to them installing a root CA so if you have that CA key you can always generate self-signed certificates for all websites on the fly? A software update wouldn't change that, unless it removed the root CA certificate, but this defeats how superfish works. That was my understanding, I'd be interested to learn how I'm wrong!

The bond market is larger than the stock market (by 2x or more). There's also quite a few people whose primary asset (most of their money) is their house.

I think you are also using a different definition of natural interest rates than is typical in economics jargon, in the jargon, the natural interest rate is approximately the rate at which the economy is growing (it isn't particularly likely that easy money is restraining economic growth, so low central bank rates shouldn't lower it; if anything, they would tend to push them higher).

Poorly structured regulations are probably a bigger problem for the economy than easy money. An example would be regulation that appears to approve of the activities of a company that is giving derivatives high ratings when they know it is bullshit. That regulation either needs to be effective or to not exist.

Another example would be the tax incentives surrounding mortgage interest, combined with pseudo-governmental programs to lower the interest rates on mortgages. It turns out that people don't buy a house based on some carefully estimated value of the house, they buy the house based on the payments they think they can afford to make. Given that psychology, the tax incentives lead people to pay a higher price for a house, and the lower interest rates lead them to pay a higher price for a house. What do you get? Skyrocketing housing prices that don't particularly benefit anybody.

We have done this to celebrities for decades with the caveat that they asked for this life when they decided to become a celebrity. Now with social media we all get a chance to make ourselves mini celebrities and there is a price to be paid.

All Mac native apps need an Objective-C Wrapper at minimum to give them an executable entry point (all apps are actually directory structures). You also on the App Store need to vendor in your dependencies. There's no language restriction in play. You can even still use the old GC if you want - just not on their store. The Mac App Store isn't the only game in town.
But for a long time, it'll be pretty easy to fool programmed machines. They'll be suckers for any kind of fakeout, being poor judges of human behavior.

In my opinion, if you understand how memory management works, ARC is definitely superior to GC. There are things it's not very good at, typically things that usual reference counting is not very good at either, such as handling cyclical data structures.
Plain (automatic) reference counting can not handle cycles without support from developers.
This is a pity. I have an app that uses ARC on 64bit, and GC on 32bit. Allowed me to ditch manual memory management without dropping support for 32bit machines.

Interesting, that is original paper, referenced from article above:

http://www.uroweb.org/gls/pdf/09%20Prostate%20Cancer_LRLV2.p...

> Tumour grade is clearly significant, with very low survival rates for grade 3 tumours. Although the 10-year cancer-specific rate is equally good (87%) for grade 1 and 2 tumours, the latter have a significantly higher progression rate, with 42% of patients with these tumours developing metastases (Table 8.4). Patients with grade 1, 2 and 3 tumours had 10-year cancer-specific survival rates of 91%, 90% and 74%, respectively, correlating with data from the pooled analysis (49) (LE: 3).

Wherever one dies 'with it' or 'because of it', this cancer might progress into metastases, and it brings higher mortality rate.
The only way to make this kind of thing scale is to provide an easy-to-work-with API to service provider, such that they can provide their own answers to a (simple enough) structured representation of the user query.

Not sure it's the point with Viv though.
