> I think it is OK to have trading halts for particular situations.

Sure, but that's not what I'm referring to: Anytime a stock drop by a given percentage, it is halted. Also, if the market drops by a percentage, the entire market is halted.

If those happen to be part of a larger coupled drop, then the US market would have the same problems opening that the Chinese market is having: Everyone waits for the open, tries sell all at once, re-invokes the halt, and repeat.

Wait... Is anyone else seeing this? The guy ran a crawler that visited many such illegal sites, then used stats on the number of visits that his honeypot got to draw conclusions about TOR. What is the standard of evidence that he is using? Seems like some weird methodology.
This is documentation. It's not an ABI reference the same way the article is. The article is about the nuts and bolts of how user mode makes calls into the kernel, which manpages don't bother with.

If you want to learn the syscall ABI on Linux you need to look at <asm/unistd.h>. Seems like this file has gone through some refactorings since the last time I looked, but here's an older version: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/asm-generic/uni... [edit: ia32 here http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/x86/include/asm/un...] -- the constants in the __NR_* macros define the table that this article is attempting to build. [Basically, the interrupt handler for a syscall needs to know where to jump based on that index.]
Jury's often make immoral rulings because the law is the law as they're following instructions. Prosecutors are notorious for being overzealous shitbags. So that leaves the judge. They probably react fairly more often than not. Maybe even in the vast majority of cases. I wouldn't wager a single dollar, much less my freedom, on a judge acting fairly or rationally. Far too risky.
Unfortunately, that is not the answer. The Google "Undo" function only delays the sending of the message, so if AirBnB sent you a message, and selected "Undo" then you would have never seen the message in your inbox.

If you did not delete the message from AirBnB, then someone else did. Since they also cleaned out your "sent" folder, they also most likely forged messages _from_you_ to AirBnB.

> even an overzealous prosecutor has to get through a judge and jury.

No, what they do is threaten you with some hypothetical 30 year term if they were to charge you will all the broad interpretations of the law. This fear of hard time is then used as a carrot to get you to plead guilty to lesser charges that you may not have even done.

They get around the "judges" by the minimum sentencing laws: "sorry, my hands are tied, I have to lock you up for ____ years because I have to follow federal sentencing guidelines."

Furthermore, there is a huge incentive to prosecute "sex crimes" because that's a gold star for the prosecutor/judge. At the end of the year, or at election time they can say "We locked up N sex offenders this year for a combined total of X years".
Yeah, I get it. I can taste the difference between a Pilsner, a Hefeweizen and a Guinness. But any more more distinctness than that starts to blur.

This sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. The only way you could transfer money from households to corporations via stock would be if the households bought IPO stock. Once a stock is sold through the IPO, it doesn't matter what the price is, the company doesn't get any of that money.

China Tries Japan's Approach to a Stock Bubble
Pens are very subjective, notebook paper is not. Thicker/heavier paper is almost always better. Moleskine paper is good, Rhodia paper (80gsm) is better, Clairefontaine paper (90gsm) is great. You can buy even heavier paper (67lb, 110lb, etc), but it usually doesn't come in notebooks.

Pens are all different: there are good gel pens (Sakura Gelly Roll, Pilot G2), good fountain pens (Lamy Safari, many many more), good art pens (Sakura Pigma Micron), good fine-point pens (Pentel Slicci, Uniball Signo Bit), and even good ballpoint pens (I like Skilcraft retractables, plus that 4-color Zebra pen). Some will bleed through on thin paper (especially fountain pens), so you lose 1/2 your notebook capacity. Not all pens/inks are waterproof (!).
I don't want "disruption" to be brought to schools.

Actually I'm coming more and more to the point of view that people who describe their "mission" as one of disruption and societal change fall into one of two big categories:

Either they do illegal stuff (like Uber, Silk Road) or they just don't have they slightest clue about the field they're meddling in and just naively believe that a Ruby on Rails application with some Bitcoin thrown in will solve all of mankind's problems.

> Trans people such as myself are proof that gender is not a social construct.

I don't think the existence of trans people proves anything, in either direction, about whether or not gender is a social construct.

We live in a gendered society. Pointing out that some social roles are completely arbitrary doesn't actually change anything. Gender is in the home, on television, on the radio, in books, on the internet, in schools, and in the streets. It's being taught and reinforced everywhere. I don't think anyone could possibly credibly claim to have independently derived gender from their own innate personal characteristics that they were born with and thus have proved that gender is a biological reality.

To assert gender is real because you feel some kind of way after being brainwashed your entire life is... well, I guess that's actually very common but I don't think it furthers any kind of understanding or suggests anything about the way things should be.

I support everyone's right to live their lives the way they need to... but gender is entirely about arbitrarily restricting and labeling people's behavior and I can't endorse it--I'd rather live in a world without labels where everyone is allowed the full range of human expression.
Probably the most accurate description of the article so far.
As of the open today, ChiNext was down 41% in a month.

As of right now, 90% of China's entire stock market is frozen. It's absolutely a 1929 style disaster. Were the authorities not stepping in constantly, the carnage would be far worse already - which is another way of saying, eventually it will get there no matter what they do.

I don't know anyone involved, however, one would have to guess that it's a simple matter of people. Apple had people from NeXT. NeXT had people from CMU who worked on Mach. People work with what they are familiar with. Therefore, Apple has Mach.

They could have started from some other kernel. They didn't happen to do that. I don't think it means much.
That all sounds like sex stuff, not gender stuff.
An excellent list, to which I'd add:

- gives their team members honest, ongoing feedback about how they're performing their jobs (there should be no surprises at the annual review)

- fights to get their team members the recognition they deserve, e.g., promotions, raises, bonuses, etc.

- hires good people for their team

- is not afraid to deal with thorny "HR" type issues, like stopping bullying, harassment, etc. (and, if necessary, firing repeat offenders)

I can start using this immediately for debugging the backend of a web application during development. For some kinds of debugging, it's preferable to log output to a file or tty instead of printing on the page during a request or stepping through a debugger. This is particularly true in frameworks where you might be trying to debug something that's happened after the rendering step.

I would typically use standard debug logging and tail the output in a terminal while I test, but having that output in a browser, searchable, filterable by RegExp adds a whole additional layer of ease of use. Showing this to all the backend devs on my team today!

CHAD is a 1x inverse ETF that tracks the CSI 300 and has performed as expected in this environment. Note, if more and more people pile in to take advantage of the situation, it will almost certainly trade at a premium to NAV. This should not happen in an ETF to due the creation/redemption mechanism of ETFs, but the issuer is limiting creation units so it could trade like a closed end fund.

If you're comparing apples to apples (first few weeks of the American crash of 1929 to the current Chinese crash) the numbers look very similar.
I've read it. Galbraith's history is ok and his writing is entertaining but his economic analysis is terribly flawed.

From the article:

"Greek premier Alexis Tsipras never expected to win Sunday's referendum on EMU bail-out terms, let alone to preside over a blazing national revolt against foreign control.

He called the snap vote with the expectation - and intention - of losing it. The plan was to put up a good fight, accept honourable defeat, and hand over the keys of the Maximos Mansion, leaving it to others to implement the June 25 "ultimatum" and suffer the opprobrium."

> There is nothing wrong with regulating how footage of crimes can be shown to protect the victims and even the offenders.

Right! That's how it starts. In the end we have "there's nothing wrong with censoring 28 pages of a 9/11 report to protect the security of all Americans because it doesn't really matter who funded it, the government told us who the bad people are so we don't really need to keep the government on check on this".

That sort of thinking ends really well. /s

Remember, the citizens hire the government. They work for us. Would you allow your employees to censor some parts of your financial reports?

Grow some principles. If people are sick that they need to look at sick images then offer to help them. Enabling tyrants does not help keep children safe. Incidentally, not spanking them does. If you really care about protecting children, get off your bureaucrat high horse and start helping educate people on the impact of spanking.

I've been using Leanpub to write my first ebook doing the "1000 words a day" thing for 2 weeks now. I thought I would see if I've learned enough from running Candy Japan to do a book on subscription boxes.

It's been a really pleasant experience so far, although my chosen topic feels a bit broad, as it encompasses everything from running a website to marketing, shipping, packaging, curation, customer service etc. and it feels difficult to really get too deep into any subject. And the reality is that running such a box by yourself is exactly about being a generalist in all of this stuff.

At this point I have about 60 pages written and am now commissioning a book cover on 99designs: https://en.99designs.jp/book-cover-design/contests/create-e-...

I'm plotting a way to A/B test these covers. Maybe do an ad campaign with 1/6 of traffic getting each cover and see how many email signups each one gets. My leanpub page is looking rather bare now without one: https://leanpub.com/subscription-box
