Realistically that was Greenspan, Bernanke was in the fed chairman role for less than two years before SHTF. Greenspan exited at the very height of the bubble just as things were starting to roll over. By the time he was Chairman there was pretty much bugger all he could have done to stop things falling apart, you don't build up a system so chronically imbalanced like that and have it unwind safely.

There is fantastic research being done by MAPS on using MDMA to assist in psychotherapy for PTSD.

The trust and openness brought about by the effects of MDMA appear to be extremely effective at helping patients come to terms with their trauma--"night-and-day" changes after mere hours of talking; the effects of years of therapy in a single dose.

It's possible that the "you can't shoot weddings on an APS-C" argument may be a simplified version of "none of the APS-C cameras currently available have the features a wedding photographers need". An example of such a feature is redundant memory cards. Then as more professional APS-C cameras were introduced the argument became invalid.

And how do you define "better sensor"? I can always find a case where a "crap sensor" beats a "good sensor". As an example, if you're shooting a closeup of a helicopter in flight, the sensor in a $150 point-and-shoot will outperform a $5000+ Canon 1Dx, just because of the shutter design. And the shutter is an integral part of the sensor for CCD chips.

Kids in the Netherlands have a range of many miles thanks to bicycles.

Growing up in the Hague, we didn't only roam the entire width and breadth of the city, but we went for long cycling trips through the dunes and countryside to Wassenaar or Hoek van Holland, about 10 to 15 kilometers out of town. And I wasn't even an adventurous kid, being a nerdy bookworm most of the time.

An excellent book on depression, arguing it is an evolved capacity of the mind:

http://psychcentral.com/lib/the-depths-the-evolutionary-origins-of-the-depression-epidemic/00018693

"Overall, this is a surprisingly accessible book and one that would serve any layperson well as an introduction to the science of depression. Rottenberg’s practical style and talent for using real-world examples by real-world people to illustrate states of low and high mood is refreshing. While not an in-depth tome by any means on depression, treatment, or evolutionary origin, the book is a wonderful first step for those who wish to better understand the illness from a scientific viewpoint. And it gives the reader hope by suggesting that depression is a common, albeit painful, human experience: that a low mood does not mean we have failed."
- Do not borrow money, except from your parents.

Similar story here. Our parents made sure that all children could swim well as early as possible. I remember them supervising us only as long as there was a weak swimmer in the group. From then on I think they generally kept an eye on where we were, not always and without us noticing, but I think they actually had a good idea of our range.

When we were around 11, we were given tools (hammer, saw, nails and old left-over boards with rusty nails in them) to build our own tree house. Our parents started with a basic version, and we were free to build extensions (without supervision). This was really fun and there were only minor injuries. I'm not sure it would still be possible today.
Sure, but Coffescript compiles directly to JS.

> Computers are only going to get faster. Browsers are only going to get better at running JavaScript

Sure, but it will still take a long time for it to reach parity with other text editors (and even if/when it gets better, Atom will likely get Vista-ized, where people just remember the bad parts of the early releases and refuse to use the later release). It's not like Atom does terribly much that others don't do; this might be more excusable if it were a whole new editing paradigm.

> Also, you get browser stuff for free. XHRs work in Atom. Even WebRTC video chat works in Atom.

Well, not exactly for free since we're discussing Atom's performance issues. Couldn't it have worked better to write most of the editor more typically and then extend it to work with these after the fact? Then the people that need them have them, but the people that don't aren't saddled with the overhead.
I think learning has a lot to do with talent and persistence. Different people have different genes to learn different things. I think learning has a lot to do with someone really needing you to fix something for them. Deliver a product with some new technology, bug fix, analyse something complex, whatever. You really HAVE to deliver and your brain will get into ultra focus mode. Some people I know say that they learn best when things are broken and they need to fix it urgently because the customer might be losing money.

Using Docker to Implement Effective Linux Virtualization
As a french guy living currently in London, I clearly agree. I hope Paris never becomes a second London. If you live there you will understand why. London just lost almost all it's culture in just a few years, the London you see in movies is long gone. Just the red bricks and a few cultural things from the past are remaining but all the rest is gone. There is hard consequences to accept to become a truly global city, it's clearly not only positive consequences for the city.

For Google, it's quite complicated. The problem is that Google is representing more than 90% of all the requests in France (the usage is also the same for most of european countries anyway). So we can technically say that Google is in a monopoly position for search. The problem is that it's hurting local startups and businesses there. The solution would be to break Google into smaller parts (it's what you do normaly when a monopoly is hurting the free market) but since that's impossible due to the fact that Google is an American company, the government is taking some measures to limit Google's influence. This is one of the measures, the second one which is currently being voted would be to force Google to display competitors on the home page (a bit like Microsoft's ballot screen). I guess that given the current context, they have no other option.
>Do you think this argument is going to convince someone who enjoys shooting with film?

No, I don't think it will convince them to shoot digital, which is a lost cause. I was more specifically arguing about the claim that it is a different art form, which I think is nonsense and pretentious

>Because at least some of the perceived value of film comes from the limitations themselves.

I agree with this and everything else you wrote. But my response to this is to see the advantage in scarcity of shots, and the limiting nature of black and white, and apply those restrictions shooting in digital.
Just take a look at the front page of HN right now. Reality in the tech bubble is pretty much beyond satire. Nobody would know the difference.
The fallacy is, there's mostly likely no one single 'algorithm' anymore. There are most likely hundreds, farmed out in a distributed manner, with the final SERP page coming from merging many different rankings together.

First off, we were talking about UK law, not US law. Secondly, I think you're talking about what I described as off-the-shelf software, that is software that you've developed and offer for sale to people in general. The original post was about contracted work and that's the context I was responding from. I have never heard of anyone being paid to write software specific to a business and only delivering binaries to lock the client into continuing the relationship or starting afresh.
It doesn't make sense, a libertarian country should accept any race.
I wouldn't say it's a 'totally separate effort'. Much of the core CyanogenMod dev team are also Cyanogen Inc. employees.

I assume what you meant to say is that CyanogenMod is entirely separate from Cyanogen Inc.'s commercial product, Cyanogen OS, which has always been true.
Is there any other author that creates such a happy, positive, future like the Culture? Everytime I read one, I just feel better. The Culture is pretty much exactly what I imagine, assuming friendly AI and scarcity are dealt with. It really enables "the meaning of life is whatever you want it to be".
> Also, their store is a disgrace of crap, shovelwear and outright scams. They even had a fake Windows 8.1 Update pass their "approval" process. Even when I find a non scam, the quality is usually poor.

This is something that infuriates me as a Windows Phone user. I don't need many apps, but occasionally I get interested in something and decide to check it out. It seems that 90% of the Windows Store is utter crap. Microsoft should never have gotten into the app numbers game. I would rather they had a very strict approval process and only let through the best of the best than this scummy garbage.
Having suffered from severe depression I sincerely doubt your analysis. There are times where you feel deeply numb and no sense of sadness whatsoever. You'd have to bend over backwards to call that an extended version of sadness, where it somehow eliminates its own emotional experience.

Also I think you should be very careful down this road, even if you don't intend it, it's very very easy to paint it like it's less serious than it is even if you don't intend to. This is something to look at the _evidence_ for.

I am happy to read about this particular experience.

One of the severe irritations I have with focus on a "cure", is that it can forego discussion of and consideration of finding ways to work with the situation as it is.

If a quiet environment is an aid, and if people can function much better when they have it, then let them have it.

There may be a "cure", someday. There may be other, viable solutions available today for letting people with PTSD have a productive, reasonably stress-free life.

After all, a lot of PTSD originates not in isolation but within the community (family, city, military, etc.), in the first place. A community response to coping with it, seems only reasonable.
The problem isn't lack of buyers.

National intelligence agencies spend billions per year buying information. Corporate espionage groups spend immense amounts to get access to information. Lots of buyers exist for information about businesses.

The problem is the sellers. The businesses don't want you to have it. And back to my original point, if the businesses didn't care, they'd just be giving this information away for free. Them refusing to sell it actually makes it worth more on the market, which you'll know if you're familiar with market dynamics.

Here's an example of what happens when you try to treat single- and double-click as the same thing (which may or may not have been the intent in this particular case).

In Android 5.0, swiping from the top brings up the notification menu and a two-finger swipe brings up the settings shortcuts. From the shortcuts screen, the back button brings you back to the notification menu. Another press of the back button brings you all the way back to where you were.

So to quickly go back after bringing up the shortcuts screen, you would naturally press the back button twice in quick succession. But that's a lot like a double-click, and if we want to treat those as single-clicks ... it has to ignore one press and just bring you back to the notifications screen instead. Which is exactly what happens.

So to actually go back twice, which is a very common and natural thing in this case, you have to go back ... then wait ... wait ... and then finally go back again.

> If the same form submit has been registered by the browser in less than 2 seconds, surely that must have been a mistake and would count as an accidental double-click?

Or maybe they're using POST requests to control some process which they get feedback from through another channel. They could be rotating pieces in a Tetris game – should I have to wait for 2 seconds between my two identical commands for rotating a piece 180 degrees to the right?
Yellen has worked at the Fed forever and knows how to speak to private citizens. She's not going to leak her press conference material because her old boss called her up.

Your two links are 1) Outright insider trading 2) An unrelated example where perhaps you do want to look at revolving door rules.
While I don't hold strong opinions against the Fed's policies in general, I think there is legitimate cause for concern here.

The Fed and mainstream economists argued that they really didn't want to bail out the entire finance industry in the global financial crisis, but they had no choice. But how can they credibly make arguments like this if there is a revolving door with the finance industry? There needs to be some evidence of unbiasedness if the Fed and SEC are to be the enforcers of the deal by which banks are regulated in exchange for this kind of bailout.

It's unfortunate that our law enforcement agents disregard the law. It's good that the judicial branch is enforcing our constitution, but saying the evidence is inadmissible is not good enough. The law enforcement agents should be held punitively accountable. Civil rights are violated, and law enforcement should be penalized for these violations.

Escaping the Posers in San Francisco
As you yourself said, the claim is "qualitatively" different, not "quantitatively" different. If you think about what qualitatively means, I really have no idea what you're trying to say. "Just" being "more extreme" is sufficient for something to be qualitatively different. Different symptoms start manifesting, especially as compensatory systems start to fail. As far as I can tell your point is vacuous; please clarify, otherwise.

If you're instead trying to say that they're biologically / mechanically similar phenomena, well, that's a different discussion we could have.

Have you ever experienced severe depression (i.e., the type that prevents you from getting out of bed for months or causes you to be hospitalized)? Because it's absolutely fucking awful. I'd love some clarification of where you're going with this hypothetical, because right now it sounds like you're denying the experience of a whole lot of people in a whole lot of pain, without having much of a point.

Ah, I see. Yeah, I'm not sure what "different art form" is supposed to mean, and I don't really see it that way...

But my response to this is to see the advantage in scarcity of shots, and the limiting nature of black and white, and apply those restrictions shooting in digital.

That has a certain rationality to it, but I don't think it's that simple. You could certainly tell people to just do it, but psychologically, emotionally, cognitively, it's not the same.

I'm not much of a photographer, but I know that with music software that has too many options, I end up confused, stressed, exhausted by possibilities. That's not inherent to the tools, it's just a feature of my limited psyche.

So I appreciate tools that are themselves "restricted." But when I'm actually using such tools—like simple guitar effect pedals, or simple portable recorders—I don't think in terms of restrictions. Because I don't have to think so much about the infinite possibilities of digital stuff at all. I can "get into a zone", kind of like driving a manual car.

When I do photography, I'm attracted to the notion of "contemplative photography," which some people might find weird. But it means among other things that the intimate physical aspects of the equipment are as important as anything. Dealing with a colorful menu display with choices of widescreen, pixel resolutions, presets, etc has a subtle cognitive presence that can be disturbing.

Instruments and tools are "user interfaces" or "user experiences." Sometimes the distinction between analog and digital is fetishized. The distinction between simplicity and complexity seems more important.
I wonder if this could be related to the antitrust suit.

Like you said, they'll have to ship Google Play - and according to that suit that has bundling rules that will force them to ship Google's apps and allegedly requires them to be on the home screen etc. They could bring that up as evidence of Google making it impossible to compete with preinstalled Google apps and maybe push their position a bit?
Although education can be really expensive, they won't teach you stuff you really want. If you find a particular subject interesting and study it on your own, you'll find that you make progress faster than you would if you study it in school or college. You can teach yourself to do anything if you like it and are willing to make effort in it.

I disagree that because depression has these qualities that it cannot be thought of as extreme sadness. I think that human experience and emotions are complex, and that for various reasons, extremes of unhappiness may result in these symptoms.

>Also I think you should be very careful down this road, even if you don't intend it, it's very very easy to paint it like it's less serious than it is even if you don't intend to. This is something to look at the _evidence_ for.

On the contrary, I don't see why we need to put things into special categories in order to respect people's problems and properly judge their seriousness. I don't see any logical connection between the views that(1) severe depression is a serious problem, and (2) severe depression is on a spectrum where the milder versions are not distinguishable from being unhappy or "in a rut".
