What the Hack 2.0: Fat Ninja, VirusSpread, HotTime and Other Hacks (Part 2)
When you are as wealthy as Satoshi, you become powerful. And it is in the public interest to know what the powerful are up to.

On the other hand, as long as Satoshi remains unknown and doesn't spend his coins, his wealth will not grant him power.
Let's test this. Tweet something like:

Could you link to the picture you're talking about?
I hear you. I'd love you to break up the argument so others can. I had to read it 3 times to get the core argument. No criticism or lecture, just feedback:

---

McDs provide monetary return to their investors (complexities of share buy-back or dividend are tax and administration issues aside from the key issue)

Executives and many investors focus on short-term goals. If they are focusing on short term goals linked to stock they are motivated to extract capital (I do not say value, your premise is that capital needs to be reinvested, and is not surplus), not build capital.

Whether to extract capital via stock actions could be interestingly compared to "What if they raised capital via fixed income [bank loan, bonds] instead of stock. Would they have the same pressure? My answer would be "Hell yes, but they'd probably planned in advance that this repayment of investment was carefully done, and choosing to use stock to raise capital meant the outcome was a lot more uncertain, or they viewed stock as lush/easy pickings compared to a more sane bank loan." - Could go into that more.

(Dis-)meeting of arguments (pro and against, not you and me)

So you're saying an extraction of capital is an extraction of value, as there's an opportunity cost of the capital for the investors vs return on capital for the company, but the extractors of capital may have a conflict of interest for doing so.

McDs management action say there isn't [a conflict of interest], because they can do it and are backed by shareholders [who may also be under a conflict of long term interest] and capital is better extracted (under short term goals) rather than re-invested.

---

Reinvestment:

Above minimum wage seems broadly independent of the above, and is an argument of retention of people creating value,; does retaining capital lead to improving human of capital or not? Or are there other options?

Retaining capital can imply a lot of things. Releasing it means nothing viable is better than what the investors can find. But define this better. Break down the logical arguments into what they are then approach from an fact-based basis.

---

I just wanted to break your argument down into pieces, sorry for being so discursive, it just seemed like lots of directions be being stabbed at, at the same time, and I like your story, it just wasn't that clear.

This tree produces 40 different types of fruit
My preference is Java 8 because I find the Scala tooling to be so-so. I really don't like sbt. I find Java 8 to be "good enough."

If you do like Scala, I recommend Martin Odersky's Coursera class. I took it a few years ago and it was great! Really fun and I learned a lot. He is a great lecturer.

One way that Scala does win big is supporting a repl style of development. One great example of this is the Spark repl.

If you live in the JVM world, Clojure (which I use more than any other programming language) and JRuby are also worth a good look.

Practical applications of machine learning in cyber security
Homeless people are very "epensive" for their society, because of the effects of that homelessness. They aren't as productive as they could be, they require a lot more medical attention, they tend to vandalize more, or even steal. I'm not saying they are bad people, it's just the situation nudges or forces them to "cost" more.

Society also can't really choose not to pay the cost. If they break stuff, it may have to be replaced. If they commit a crime, they have to be housed in prison (which is expensive). And if they require urgent medical attention, doctors won't refuse not to help them even if they can't recuperate the cost...

In San Francisco the situation is a bit different. Housing is more expensive, so 20K won't be enough, and homelessness in SF is a bit more of an economically issue, rather than a mainly psychological one.

And even if SF could save money, they would have a hard time creating such a program, for various political reasons. Also it would mean investing tons of money up front, without the cost reductions being easily visible afterwards.

> IMHO the Right Way to render <foo bar="zot">quux</foo> is ((:foo :bar "zot") "quux") with the further qualification that if there are no tags then ((:foo) "quux") can be simplfied to (:foo "quux").

Alternatively you could also write (foo ((bar "zot)) quux) as it is handled in Racket's X-expressions, which has the distinct advantage that the symbol/identifier foo is not nested one level deeper, which makes reading it harder, while still preserving the 1-1 correspondence. Though in this case the meta-information is the first argument instead of being part of the identifier. It also works perfectly with stuff like <foo bar="zot" baz="zor">quux</foo>, which is read as (foo ((bar zot) (baz zor)) quux). I personally think this is way better than ((:foo :bar "zot" :baz "zor) "quux")
Turns out, less social welfare is often more expensive for society.

I hope that over time, the social sciences will get a better (data based) grip on what works and how beneficial it is, and thus more of these problems can get solved.

...but, if I've understood the proposal correctly, the public interface isn't changing. The user of String will never know, nor care, whether their string is implemented as UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1. This is purely an implementation detail.

Personally, I'd be astonished if JVMs didn't already do this: way back when when I was working for a company that did embedded JVMs, it was one of the first optimisations we did. When class files were loaded, we'd look at each string, and if they were ISO-8859-1 we'd use a byte-based representation rather than a word-based one. (Programmatically created strings were always words, of course.)

Even in an environment where most of our customers were Asian the savings were huge. Java uses a lot of identifier strings.
I think the biggest problem is with the way he was approached in the first place.

Most places with unarmed police, more officers would have been sent, and the first step would have been to tell passers by to step away, while officers would have kept their distance from the suspect.

Once he is attacking the first officer I agree the shot was probably justified, but that police officer should not have approached someone who was wielding a weapon that way in the first place.

A deadly weapon is only deadly if you allow officers to get into range without adequate protection.

I think this is a large part of the problem with weapons use for US police: They have a lethal weapon as easy backup, so they're taking risks that would be downright stupid and against every instruction for someone who has to go back to their car to unlock a sealed box to get at their firearm, or call for backup from a specialist firearms squad (depending on country).

I think the point chernevik was trying to make is that the officer appears to be shooting the attacker when the attacker is between the officers. Unless that bullet hits a bone it's going to pass through the guy and hit the other officer or possibly an innocent bystander. Even if it does hit a bone it could pass through the guy expanded or fragmented and still cause significant damage. (Unless they're using frangible bullets, but I haven't heard of that outside air marshals.)
Done as a global, then probably, yeah. If it's assigned at the beginning of a function as a local var, then used 5 or 6 times, probably no harm done.
You've misunderstood his point with that example. He knows it's ambiguous, but he's telling you that it's an undesirable distinction to make.
> If a kidnapper knew of Nick's whereabouts, he could be tortured for days in the privacy of his own home before finally giving up the $200MM.

This hypothetical kidnapper could do exactly the same thing to anyone. Bitcoin is not a necessary component. The details of how he carried it out would just differ.

Either way, torturing a semi-public figure for days in his own home and then stealing $200 million worth of Bitcoins sounds like a guaranteed way to get caught and go to prison, unless nobody would notice him missing (I suppose he'll have to kill him, too) and the thief never, ever sells the Bitcoins.

This hypothetical kidnapper doesn't need to track down Szabo, he could go after any rich person and extort them.
This might actually be slower (you have a lot of strings which have UCS2 characters down the line, have to reallocate array and copy everything over)
yeah but I would prefer to work and learn that system rather than a giant monolith that nobody understand

Item 11 bothers me a bit, I don't want it to become a sales channel for vaccine makers. I think vaccines in 1-10 have a solid public health foundation, but 11 leaves a door open for abuse.

Most places, the areas with the "10/10" public schools cost more to live in, between property taxes and higher purchase prices for houses (because the schools are good, so demand is high). They may also be farther from where the jobs are (more often than not, I'd guess), unless you want to pay even more for both prime location and good schools, assuming such a thing even exists where you live. Higher transportation costs, more time commuting.

You pay either way. Picking the nicer location is probably cheaper, but I wouldn't bet on that always being the case. It's difficult to quantify the costs of location to compare the two.

Prenuptials apply to the spouses, not children , who obviously cannot sign them. Are you saying that women are not held to prenup agreements, or that men forget that they cannot sign a prenup with their future children?
That is a general problem with having armed police in heavily populated areas, and one I recognize and agree with (I don't like guns).

That said: the NYPD General Order doesn't exempt police in NYC from using firearms to prevent imminent death or bodily harm.

I've known police from other states who visited my family in Chicago and carried their firearms with them. (Again: I don't like guns). When I asked why they had them, I got a speech about how they were required to carry them.
uhm, i think the original post is quite obviously satire. i've never met anyone that would qualify in my entire life.

Furthermore, George Washington University says that despite widespread reports that Mr. Szabo worked as a law professor at the school, it has no records of his ever working there in that capacity. The university did confirm, though, that he received a law degree from the school in 2006.
I'd like to see that as a function of land and population.

I'm willing to wager that, because there's only so much land and crops, there's only so much demand for labor--unless you want like one person per bushel or something silly. Meanwhile, the rest of the population continued to grow.
That listing is all of the adverse events that occurred during clinical testing. We don't know if it's the vaccine, or because a kid slipped and hit his head, causing death. If you were to continue reading, you'd see this:

reported in a published post-marketing surveillance study in Finland involving 1.5 million children and
adults who were vaccinated with M-M-R II during 1982 to 1993.

It's quite unlikely that any of the marketed MMR vaccines have ever caused a death.

Well I think this depends. I think most people who avoid McDonalds are the kind of people who also read the ingredients of the products they buy, so they would choose a bread with much fewer preservatives etc. The in-store bakery bread also has fewer ingredients by a long way. Eg. Tesco white rolls: Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Water, Yeast, Salt, Wheat Gluten, Emulsifier (Mono- and Di-Acetyltartaric Esters of Mono- and Di-Glycerides of Fatty Acids), Flour Treatment Agent (Ascorbic Acid)

I'm interested to learn about the case law about this as it pertains to the constitutionality of disallowing a religious exemption.

Some common vaccines are derived from human fetal cell lines, and those fetal cell lines are themselves derived from a handful of elective abortions. For many of those vaccines, there are alternatives that are not derived from human fetal cell lines, but not all.

Several religious denominations that oppose abortion, e.g. the Catholic Church, have addressed this issue and said that such vaccines can and should be used, so long as there is no reasonable alternative and there is a proportionate reason. (The Church's reasoning, in case you're curious, is that the vaccines' connection to abortion is considered remote cooperation.)

But even though some denominations see the vaccines as permissible, I suppose it might be possible for a person, motivated by religious belief, to be completely on board with the efficacy of the vaccine but oppose how it was created on moral grounds, and so demand a religious exemption.

Typically in the U.S., religious beliefs must be reasonably accommodated. I would think that someone who objects to the vaccine mandate on religious grounds could make the argument that if it is possible for anyone to be accommodated (in this case, those with medical issues), then accommodation itself should be considered reasonable, and it's just a matter of determining whether accommodating both is so risky as to be unreasonable.

In other words, if we're willing to assume X amount of risk by allowing medical exemptions, then it follows that at least some risk can be tolerated. And if a religious objector can show that additionally assuming Y risk by allowing religious objections is not substantially more risky, then I think they could make the case that it should be considered reasonable to also accommodate religious beliefs.
OK, but then he's wrong about that. <input type=button/> does not mean the same thing as <input><type>button</type></input>.
