As a parent and married to a wife who's a teacher in a public elementary school in a large school district, I can say all this talk of improving school, train teachers, etc is missing the mark. More of the responsibility rests with the parents, not with the school or teachers or administrators.

Sure teachers/school matter, but not as much as the parents from my observation.
Been there done that. It so happens that I cannot think unless I have the space to pace around a bit in silence. Talking while thinking disrupts the thinking process, or more accurately, it constraints the thinking to shallow levels. The first time I got cornered into an interview I was too shy to bring these two points up during the interview. I have not interviewed very often but the last time I interviewed with 3~4 companies I was upfront about it. I just pushed the laptop away and said look this might appear weird but I will pace around this room pretending you are not there and give you checkpoints of my thoughts at places where I think interruptions are less disruptive. The reaction was always a mildly surprised, "Oh OK!" Sometimes the interviewer would still like to peek into my thoughts when I am not prepared for such interruptions but I would very politely shush them up with a hand gesture and give them the latest thought dump shortly afterwards. Worked out for me. Another difficulty I have is because of my diminished hearing I instinctively lip read, or rather augment auditory information with visual cues. The problem: doesnt work for phone screens. One company was gracious enough to offer to fly me in for the screen as well. I declined, saying I am fine as long as the interviewer is cognizant of the problem and tolerant towards repeating the problem description if needed.

> Is it twice as difficult?

You cannot really say its twice as difficult but you can easily say that its more difficult because when you are working with a small amount of money you invest in plenty of small promising companies. When you are working in big money a small profit is not going to affect your results much so you need to find a big fish, its very difficult to find such big fish all the time.
> For instance, the Court helpfully ruled that law enforcement's subjective reasons for pulling over a car don't matter so long as they can articulate some objective basis for the stop, like a traffic violation — even though the traffic violation is only a pretext.

This has to be the Supreme Court's worst ruling in recent times since Citizens United. The cops can stop you based on an "objective" fake reason? What a ridiculous idea. "Oh, I thought your light was broken...well nevermind that, let's search you for drugs now!" In what world is that a "common sense" ruling?

> The agent's declaration also disclosed that the DEA shut down the database in 2013 — after the Reuters story broke, in other words.

They didn't "shut it down". They only "suspended" it in September 2013...and tried to put it back online by the end of the year. I imagine they'll keep trying.

I fully agree that sugar is harmful.

Parent post said "we know for a fact" that excess carbs cause alzheimers, and it is this specific strong claim that I'm challenging. I'm not even asking for "know for a fact". "Most researchers agree" will do.

Sugar causes overweight; but people who are overweight might be less likely to get alzheimers than people who are thin.

> Middle aged people who are overweight but not obese, are 71% more likely to develop dementia than those with a normal weight, according to research.

And confusingly in 2009 we thought that rapid weight loss might be an early sign of dementia: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8055030.stm

The argument is they are gambling with just a downside, so why are they not just buying indexed funds, right?

If you lose money on actively managed funds, you lose the money. If you win money on actively managed funds, you get a small part of the win, and give away a large part of the win to the guy who was gambling (how large is clearly a contract question). If the part you give away is too big, you are playing a fools game. The article isnt describing how much was fixed costs and how much were bonuses paid on outperforming funds, so it's hard to tell if they are indeed playing a fools game, but it seems at least possible.

Why pay someone to gamble for you if he will take 95% of the winnings but not eat any of the losses? If this is this because the managed accounts actually under-performed to expectation - ok. If it is because you're paying too big bonuses on exceeding some easy to reach baseline - not ok.

I think that is a reasonable argument.

Except with a mortgage you're not running a risk that next year you will suddenly have an extra 50k added to your mortgage.

Actively managed money has a very nice angle going. They can charge money to actively manage your funds, while still getting to keep a share of any profits generated.

Insurance companies have to pay money to get access to the same funds, to do the same gambling.

It is somewhat insane that you can run a business where the choices are:

a) Do admin work to balance an indexed portfolio for price A
b) Gamble with money for price (B + X% of profits)

And somehow people feel its ok that the price of B is higher than the price of A.
They are already factoring that in, using a 5% risk-free rate.

Unfortunately, AMD's Carrizo is in no way competitive with Intel's Core M (Broadwell).

1. Carrizo isn't shipping yet. Broadwell shipped in September, and Intel's next microarchitecture (Skylake) ships late this year.

2. Carrizo will be fabbed on a 28nm process.[1] Broadwell is 14nm. When it comes to fab tech, AMD is over 3 years behind Intel. Ivy Bridge (22nm) shipped in April of 2012.[2]

3. Carrizo's lowest TDP is 12W.[1] The Core M version of Broadwell has a 3-6W configurable TDP.

I compliment AMD's PR department, but when it comes to performance or efficiency, AMD is not a serious competitor. Intel's fab tech is simply too far ahead. I'd love to see a repeat of the Athlon days, but for the foreseeable future AMD can only compete on price.

Why would you assume SE Asia has worse internet connectivity options than other countries? the vast majority of people here use just a smartphone or maybe a tablet to access the internet. 3G is fairly ubiquitous, 4G is in major locations, and data is relatively cheap. (I don't bother with a local Sim when I go back to Australia - it's literally cheaper to roam and use data via my Thai SIM than to pay for Telstra prepaid)
If you count Lisp as functional[0] it has a pretty big web presence, both Common and Scheme.

Functional languages reward (require?) a different kind of problem domain analysis than imperative languages do, and one of the things they are least good at is "I want to track the state of a bunch of discrete things that share similarities in structure", ie, 90% of Web programming. (But then again maybe that's only 90% of web programming because OO was the fad-of-the-day when web programming took off.)

There's the old adage that data structures tell you a lot more than flowcharts; languages like Haskell and ML kind of turn that on its head. Rather than using functions to apply and track changes of state to abstracted chunks of memory, you apply and track changes of state by composing the functions with each other. This is great for some problem domains (eg, I think there's a reason that so much prototyping and code analysis is done in Haskell and ML) and less great for others (interfacing with a table-based database always felt kludgey to me, for instance).

I do think they attract a certain type of person, namely the kind of person who prefers debugging on paper to debugging in memory. Haskell may well have a debugger, but I've never used it because I always do a static debug, usually with a physical code printout. Then again I'm also a crotchety geezer.

TL;DR: many functional languages aren't great for the kinds of problems a lot of developers today are trying to solve, but the process of refactoring those problems in a way that does make functional languages useful is often a Good Thing for a developer to do.

[0] I would argue it's not "functional" except in an accidental sense; it's a "symbolic" language that happens to have first-class functions. Lisp is mostly useful for writing more Lisp (but note "mostly"; I'm a confirmed Lisp Weenie and I find myself very productive in it).

>First, we need to acknowledge that SWIFT is not cheap. If Barclays had to send a SWIFT message to HSBC every time you wanted to pay £10 to Charlie, you would soon notice some hefty charges on your statement.

Why is this so? Sure in decades past it might have been expensive to send so many messages, but today it should be easily accomplished with moderate hardware. Wikipedia says SWIFT did about 15M tx/day in Sept 2010. That seems pretty miniscule as far as hardware load goes.
So the heart of the problem, from what I can gather, is the sliding window approach to generating subsequences. This approach necessarily generates "redundantly similar" windows, ie. windows will be most similar to their closest neighboring windows since there is an overlapping length of window - 1

The sliding window approach is not adding random noise to the clustering, it is adding redundantly similar data to the clustering resulting in almost perfect sine-wave-like cluster centers.
Should tackle improving both. And it's obviously not US-specific by any stretch. If we can make it easier, cheaper and more enjoyable to teach and encourage children, it will happen more often. Same goes with food - if the bad stuff is cheaper and quicker, people will tend to eat it.

Makes me wonder - has anyone built courseware for 5-15 year olds that dynamically adjusts problem topics based on the interests of the student? e.g., maths problems featuring soccer players (angles, speeds, curves, etc) or maths problems featuring rockets or whatever a kid might fancy.

At least in Australia the Supreme Court is willing to uphold a person's right to privacy.

A case[1] in South Australia in February this year went to the Supreme Court (Court of Criminal Appeal) resulting in aquittal.

A similar case (drug trafficking) in the South Australian District Court resulted in a nolle prosequi because the judge ruled the defect inspection of the vehicle illegal and struck the evidence. The ruling on that case hasn't been posted online yet.

The police will, no doubt, continue to perform illegal searches where they believe they can get away with it. But you can win against them in court here in Australia.

This chart suggests there's no competition at the moment: http://cpubenchmark.net/power_performance.html

I'm always wary of the charts on cpubenchmark, however. To a desktop/laptop user, single core performance is usually much more important than total performance, as they're not using all the cores. Even for my use case, software development, compiling uses multiple cores but doesn't take any significant time these days anyway (C# in VS, JIT for .NET and JavaScript), so I tend to check:

http://cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html

AMD A4 Micro-6400T APU: 607
Intel Core M-5Y10c @ 0.80GHz: 1,115

Almost twice the (benchmark) speed for the Core M. I'd like some real world usage reviews, but it's still looking like Intel is the best choice if you can afford it.
I agree here. My time in high school (which largely was just a prison, for both kids in and out of special education) was full of people I met that their parents thought kids were just fire and forget.

Some of them were smart kids, but they had no proper upbringing. They didn't know what to do, how to act, how to be, and the school sure as hell didn't teach them that. The school filled their head with interesting but useless facts, such as George Washington was our first President. Sure, we should know that, but that won't help us navigate the increasingly complex world that we keep building around ourselves.

To put it bluntly, these kids, some of them I called my friends, had no spiritual health (or whatever you want to call it). They didn't know how to force their minds to focus, they didn't know how to prioritize their goals, they didn't know how to make goals in the first place. They did what they were told.

Some of them have moved out of state and went to college (again, because they were told to, our school pounded it into our heads that we need to do well on tests to get into college, as if college was the end goal, or even a meaningful step on the journey of life), and are most likely now in debt in over their heads. Some of them probably lost their jobs, some of them probably lost their homes, some of them probably had kids and now work at shitty jobs just to keep food on the table.

The ones that didn't move out of state? I know that some of them are in prison or jail somewhere (thanks, grapevine). I know some of them do drugs (some of them did drugs in high school just to deal with how shit their lives were, I doubt they quit when they got out of school; nothing hard though, virtually all of them were potheads).

Teachers matter, but your first and most important teachers are your parents. You learn how to be and act through them, and if you don't learn what you're supposed to from them, you're just going to turn into a rather angry human that doesn't really make it in life.

What I'm afraid is, my entire generation isn't going to make it in life, and that is terrifying. I'm 31 now, and if I knew what I knew then, I would have probably kicked a few teachers in the nuts for what they put their students through.
> Why pay someone to gamble for you if he will take 95% of the winnings but not eat any of the losses?

From the article:

> So for instance in U.S. equities the funds got annual returns of 8.24 percent for 10 years, versus annual fees for U.S. equities of about 0.08 percent. So the funds got 99 percent of the returns on their investment, and the managers got 1 percent of those returns.
Take the numbers you've used and switch them around slightly to reflect the NYC pensions situation and you can see why they'd be upset. It's not $4 in fees to an additional $96 returned to the client, it's $2billion in fees versus an additional $40m. Scaled back to your example that'd be like hiring a guy who gets you $200, keeping $98 for your $2.
