That's the point I'm trying to explain in the article. The idea of an "object" in OOP is to be a self-sufficient entity, capable of doing ALL operations internally. When I'm doing dao.insert(bean) - I let some DAO to extract my data and use them somehow. It's a violation of the basic principle of OOP - encapsulation.
Wise Warthog – Analog Electronics learning resources for students and hobbyists
The stock market is inherently different than going to the casino. Buying at the bottom is hardly a bad sentiment to have when it comes to investing, especially when it comes to making swing trades in thoroughly researched businesses.
At first blush, this is exactly what we need. Companies monetize. They monetize by selling you. The exchange occurs with ads. What you browse through Google? Google sells that information by selling ads. Twitter? Spare change. Your Facebook photos of your kids? Congratulations, you just sold your first born son.

So the idea of replacing the ads, cutting out the ad and the purchase with a transaction I control is immediately appealing... I reach for the enroll button... but wait.

This is Google we are talking about. The company that invented surveillance on the web. They have perfected it on a scale that the mere thought of reduces the NSA to to Homer Simpson dreaming of donuts. Google has to make payments based on your browser history - which gives them to browser history too mine, which they then can then use to sell more ads with, and monetize you.

Well played Google. well played.

what aspect ratio, and on pc or mobile? It currently just shows the slide that covers the majority of the screen, which could be a bad assumption in certain cases.

The videos are large by design, I just wanted them to look a bit better than youtube videos. The 4k versions are up to 20Mb, but I was hoping preloading the next two slides would help with that.
No one likes to admit to losing money, you're right. Good poker players still lose hands, and good traders make bad trades. The key though, is when you lose, to cut your losses. When you win, make them count.

I certain didn't predict this drop. Then again, I was out of HK last month. I traded in Europe for the last few weeks. I lost money this week, underestimating the effect of Greece.

But one thing I do know, is that this drop is a buying opportunity. And you're right, I can't predict the bottom. But I can choose an oversold stock I know will rebound, buy it when it's down to a major support level, and hope for the best. And I've done alright with my strategy. I make a fairly decent return and can sleep at night.

And I do like hyperbole :-)

Your story makes no sense. Why would AirBnb care about erasing that email? And why do you think AirBnb has access to your gmail account?

So what the Chinese are proposing is not exactly an investment, it is a transfer of debt from companies to individuals. Anyway, doesn't seem like an idea that would work -- investing in failing companies is a recipe for disaster.

Watching a report about a crime is not the same as consuming a product that was produced and shared or sold by the criminal that committed the crime. You are actively supporting the criminal, either through money or through community.

On a different note: There is nothing wrong with regulating how footage of crimes can be shown to protect the victims and even the offenders. I know this argument is hard to make on HN, because free speech, but I think privacy is an important right, too.
Memcomputer Stores Processes and Information Simultaneously
There is a lawyer who makes a nice amount every year (more than an average Silicon Valley salary) suing the telemarketers that call him.

I was wondering if such a lawyer would partner with others -- but anyway he released a book on how to be a parasite on parasites and get paid doing a service to society. Does anyone have a link?

Trading halts are common historically in many markets in the US as well, like you said. Commodities have a history of halts, and there have been many periods where you'd have three or four days in a row of halted trading in the first minute; essentially these highly leveraged markets needed to move way, way down or up and took a while to do so with the halt system.

I don't know what commodities markets in the US do now with respect to halts, but in a world where we have retail players swimming with very sophisticated traders, I think the halts likely help more than hurt for the small players; retail brokerage users have no hope of dealing with short term spikes and may get stop-lossed out unfavorably; a halt lets them think hard and change up their stops overnight or once they see the news.
I think most VoIP providers let you block calls. Google voice does as well. As do most Cell providers, plus you can install apps on jailbroken cell phones that will do that.

It's really only POTS that doesn't have such functionality.

'Craft' coffee is becoming the province of chin-stroking joy thieves
They've already blamed Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Soros for having a role:

"In the past few days, rumors have circulated on the Wechat messaging service that “international capital” — or simply capitalism itself — was attacking China. Goldman Sachs and the Hong Kong office of China Southern Asset Management were supposed to be profiting from short-selling the market – rumors that were later rubbished by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. On Thursday, Chinese media also implied that George Soros or Morgan Stanley might be to blame."

Esper is really curious. I looked at it while getting a feel for the general landscape of streaming data tools in late 2013 - to be clear, it was a very cursory look, on the timescale of a few hours at most. I quote what my final take-away was at the time:

> Seems good but... such a weird project. Codehaus, svn, not high activity, but consistent, stable releases for five years. Maybe just not the kind of thing webdevs get into? Not sure if that's a strike against or not.

With the demise of Codehaus it looks like they've moved to github:

https://github.com/espertechinc/esper

But oddly they don't seem to have migrated their svn history, and the README implies they don't plan to... I certainly hope they didn't lose it when Codehaus shut down. There was, as noted, already 9 years worth of code changes in that repo. That would be unfortunate.
Let's assume caller ID info is perfect, that doesn't actually solve the issue. If a telco gives a local business e.g. 100 numbers, and when those numbers call out it says "Whatever business, 123 main street, somecity" you'd just see the VoIP provider's info each time a scammer calls you.

Right now you can often determine the address/owner of a telephone number, but that doesn't tell you who REALLY called because the VoIP company never passes on that info even to the telcos.

What we need is a law that forces VoIP providers (inc. Skype) to forward some real caller ID info onto the telcos, and then the telcos need to forward that info to the end user.

The insecurity of the caller ID system (i.e. it is trivially spoofed) is a legitimate problem however, since even if the VoIP provider did pass on the info, the scammer could override it.
For a taste of what Chinese investors are going through I highly recommend Galbraith's "The Great Crash 1929" [1]. He gives fascinating insights into to the mania and crash of the market and the futility of the authorities to prop it up. Here's an excerpt:

The worst continued to worsen. What looked one day like the end proved on the next day to have been only the beginning. Nothing could have been more ingeniously designed to maximize the suffering, and also to insure that as few people as possible escape the common misfortune. The fortunate speculator who had funds to answer the first margin call presently got another and equally urgent one, and if he met that there would still be another. In the end all the money he had was extracted from him and lost. The man with the smart money, who was safely out of the market when the first crash came, naturally went back in to pick up bargains. The bargains then suffered a ruinous fall. Even the man who waited for volume of trading to return to normal and saw Wall Street become as placid as a produce market, and who then bought common stocks would see their value drop to a third or a fourth of the purchase price in the next 24 months. The Coolidge bull market was a remarkable phenomenon. The ruthlessness of its liquidation was, in its own way, equally remarkable.

The rumors in China about malevolent foreign influence on the market also echo the 1929 crash. Galbraith again:

What was perhaps the last word on the policy of reassurance was said by Simeon D. Fess, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee: "Persons high in Republican circles are beginning to believe that there is some concerted effort on foot to utilize the stock market as a method of discrediting the Administration. Every time an Administration official gives out an optimistic statement about business conditions, the market immediately drops."

Yes this has long been my concern. Is pedophilia something that can be rehabilitated? Is it mental illness? A sexual orientation? By providing people with no choices are we creating underground networks? To me there are echoes of drug prohibition here. I go fucking crazy thinking about my kids getting taken. When I watched true detective i was seriously ready to throw up. Particularly chilling was the last line: "we'll never get them all". Since law enforcement can never possibly eradicate a problem, and since we provide no way for someone to get help without being incriminated, aren't we just leaving the opportunity wide open for this to fester under the surface?
I couldn't really finish reading the article. I hope the original author will realize that hanging on to his anger will only perpetuate the crimes committed against his daughter. His characterisation of permanent damage done to his daughter makes me wonder if she will ever be able to escape the trauma in his eyes. Will he be able to provide a safe place for her to go where people know about her past but care only about her present? If he thinks of her as having limited potential for the future, how will she escape that past? She needs a father, not an avenger.

It's amazing the damage people can do chasing justice.
For any who don't read the article, the writer explains their emotional investment:

"However, I have adopted a beautiful daughter who was abused in the most unimaginable ways (physically and sexually beginning at age 5). Her abuse was doled out via multiple pedophiles while she shuffled in and out of the child protective services system (which repeatedly failed to protect her)."
Some custom Android ROMS might have the call blocker feature.

One example is Xiaomi's MIUI [ http://en.miui.com/thread-118672-1-1.html ]: "MIUI Call Blocker - How to Block/Unblock Contacts ?"
My phone has a call-blocking feature, and I even use a service that routes private callers through an 800-number to get their unspoofed ANI. Yet one debt collector calls me from 200 different numbers. They change the number every 2-3 days. (it's for a debt I consider invalid, and beyond the 10 year statute of limitations anyway, so I won't ever pay it.)

I think what we need is an Adblock for phone numbers that categorizes all spammers, debt collectors, etc and blocks them instantly on everyone's phones.

Science and atheism are not the same thing.

Science reveals the nature of the Universe, whether you believe it was designed/created by an almighty 'Creator', or came into existence through other means. Doing 'science' means following the evidence wherever it leads, even the result turns out to be unsettling or disagreeable.

Denying Science means that you deny the Universe, and thus the work of your Creator.

Lastly, many scientists hold deeply religious views.
A kid touching a mans penis maybe barely aware that the man is getting aroused vs. a man penetrating a little kid.

They both fall under the same category but they are two very different things.

Also don't forget that a big part of the issue with pedophilia is actually society which because of the tabu and inability to distinguish between the different types of them ends up making the experience even worse and further adding to the problem.

And again I am not in any way defending this behavior, I have kids myself. I just believe that the very thorny subject requires more careful thinking than just calling evil.
Even if the banks weren't trying to make a profit, you'd still have to pay interest as loan-making is inherently risky enough that at some point, somebody has to cover the costs of those who default.

The funding numbers I've found for the University of California system are that per-student expenditures are roughly flat, and that tuition increases are almost 1-for-1 offsets for decreasing state funding. Here is a little ASCII table of the state funding history I collected in 2012: http://www.kmjn.org/misc/uc_funding.txt

I have no idea how representative this is of other universities, though, and wouldn't be surprised if it isn't.
Likely true. Also not without risk of course, since the chance of a stock getting added should also be priced in. If you're better than the "market" at predicting these things, you'll likely do well. I don't expect I am.
airbnb's permissions only allow them to:

1. View your email address
2. View your basic profile info
3. View metadata for files in your google drive
4. manage your contacts

notice there isn't permission for deleting your emails, or even viewing your emails.

what i would do is take a deep breath, and think rationally about this. why would airbnb, a public company, risk all the good will they have built up over the years they have been in service by deleting your emails.

Now, what airbnb CAN do is unsend an email, some providers offer this. here is how to do it with gmail:

I have no medical knowledge, but intuitively this makes sense to me. If you stay up longer, you need longer to refresh. It's not like you can stay up for 24 hours and then just get a regular sleep.

I have a similar pattern, but I need around 7-8 hours of sleep, so mine starts at 11 pm and waking up between 6 or 6:30 am.

^That is what most likely happened. Sorry about the post. Thanks for clarifying. Pretty rude of them if you ask me.
Understood. I agree that some popular ORM tools are a mess and generally fail in delivering on what they "promise".

I also agree that having some objects speak SQL is a cleaner alternative (whether using a bridge as in your article, or otherwise).

However, I don't agree that OOP requires that every object encapsulate ALL operations. Specifically, I don't think embedding SQL operations directly in these objects is optimal, as it too tightly couples the object with the underlying persistence mechanism. And, it puts too much responsibility on the class.

Following your approach of doing ALL operations internally for the sake of encapsulation, it seems that you'd also have the object be responsible for, say, rendering itself in the view and a whole host of other responsibilities which could result in huge, monolithic objects that are difficult to maintain.
Because when you remove items from that list or otherwise change the order, you break binary compatibility.

The C library specifies the index into this table when making a syscall. You don't want a situation where the C library and the kernel are mismatched and disagree about what the syscalls are.

The safe way to remove a syscall is to change it to return ENOSYS. All the syscalls that come after it in the table therefore retain the same index.
Good luck. The premium to borrow shares is very high right now.

The person who has motivation to hack your gmail account, delete
messages to/from AirBnB, and most likely forge messages from "you" to AirBnB is the host you are disputing.

There's a much different notion of God in that passage (and much of the Old Testament) than most have now. The number 10 is arrived at after Abraham persuades God to lower the standard from 50. There are at least a few stories where mortals persuade God to change his/her mind.

In Australia, there's not even a useful national system for registering to not receive unsolicited commercial calls.

I can register a personal number on a Do Not Call list, but there are exemptions for political parties, charities, religious organisations and market researchers. Market researchers and charities make a lot of calls.

There is no equivalent for business numbers.

And then on top of that, there are countless telemarketing calls from overseas. The latest frustration on my business number is outsourcing spammers calling to explain that they will be sending me (spam) email in a moment and telling me the title of the attachment, etc. So, spam plus an interrupting phone call - fantastic! Thanks subcontinent!
I've gone from a Pelikan fountain pen and Leuchtturm1917 to... Faber-Castell pencil (grade B) and cheap Muji notebooks.

Yes, pencil does smear a bit, and those non-mechanical pencils get annoyingly short. But pencil is surprisingly durable (against light, and even against water accidents).

And cheap is a big psychological factor in "I want a set of those everywhere".
It seems the indices are down 30% or so from their prior highs, which is unpleasant but nothing like the 1929-32 period. Even Nasdaq had cratered far worse in the early 2000s. By comparison, Dow Jones went from 381 to 41 in just about 3 years from its 1929 high, which is an astonishing 90% loss. Actually I didn't know it was that bad until I looked it up.
