Here is the latest reporting from Reuters on the opening of the stock markets in China, where it is already Monday 6 July 2015: "Chinese stocks jump after Beijing unleashes emergency support"

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/07/06/us-china-markets-i...

The article notes, "Oliver Barron, China policy research analyst at NSBO, said it wasn't just faith in the markets at stake.

"'After the market continued to fall despite myriad support measures, the government reached peak panic mode and must have worried that investors would not only lose confidence in the markets, but in the government itself,' he said." This is the new issue in China, that now any weakening in the market is seen as a vote of no confidence in the central government. We'll see how the next week or so of trading goes.
But its what you insinuate, no?
The subject of nationalism in Europe had already been brought up, and I responded in kind. If you don't want to talk about it that's fine, don't. I understand, it is a potentially uncomfortable subject. But don't try to shy away from the facts and bury your head in the sand with downvotes. As I said the topic was already brought up, this is not off topic or violating HN guidelines, to downvote simply because it makes you uncomfortable is breaking protocol.

Actually there's an order you are supposed to apply things like that. Maybe someone came up with it after the fact, but there is a determinative way to make a list of adjectives sound right.
> Where my bright students might have been used to high Bs and low As on tests, they were now breaking my scales. You could see it in the multiple choice, but it was most obvious in their writing: they were skillfully working in terminology at an unprecedented rate, and making way more attempts to use new vocabulary—attempts that were, for the most part, successful.

> Given the seemingly objective nature of Anki it might seem counterintuitive that the benefits would be more obvious in writing than in multiple choice, but it actually makes sense when I consider that even without SRS these students probably would have known the terms and the vocab well enough to get multiple choice questions right, but might have lacked the confidence to use them on their own initiative. Anki gave them that extra confidence.

Not that you're wrong, but the author also points out here that SRS can help production by reinforcing the student's knowledge and boosting their confidence in what they've learned when it comes to using it.

No, no they do not..

It is perfectly grammatical if "brick" is taken to be a verb.

Edit: this is in reference to "brick the barn". Grammatical if nonsensical. "Brick ancient barn" is of course weird and wrong unless you really want to emphasize that this is a brick ancient barn and not a wooden ancient barn like all the other ancient barns. The normal adjective order can be deviated from for emphasis. My point was that that didn't work when "the" was one of the "adjectives".

(I've been trying to fall asleep for hours so I make mistakes left and right -- I apologize for not being clear about the word list I referred to.)

Netflix, but mostly decentralized. End users can be paid to allocate part of their PC's storage toward movies and shows that they stream to their neighbors, taking a lot of the load off the public backbones and central servers.

Of course, these are encrypted and only decrypted (transcrypted?) when they're transferred to someone nearby, intelligently based on `tracepath` or something. My thought (may or may not be feasible) was that the central server only gives you the public key for the data, and then provides the private key and a new public key when the data is transmitted. I'm not sure that's even possible with any level of secrecy, but if so it would remove a lot of redundant traffic and I imagine you could pay people less than you'd save on bandwidth/peering if you could just pay them to P2P content (securely).

Get theaters involved in the initial distribution since they're everywhere and have digital copies (and probably decent pipes).

Basically, my internet got really crappy every day at about 6 PM and I imagined that 90% of my neighbors were streaming the same episodes of Breaking Bad, and it bugged me that it wasn't just sent once and the distributed locally.
I think this is implicit in Pikettys argument.

e.g. from the article:

> But despite this, the younger generation of Greeks carries no more responsibility for the mistakes of its elders than the younger generation of Germans did in the 1950s and 1960s.
For reference only. Once in a while, I'd need to check the architecture from big guys like YouTube, StackOverflow..
Historically, a small amount of inflation has been beneficial. Nobody likes to take a wage cut. Also, even a small amount of deflation quickly makes debt repayment unsustainable. It's hard to repay your loan when you're taking in less money. Greece will never get out of this cycle until it's economy picks up.
Useless.js: a new cross-platform toolbox for writing complex web applications
From the wikipedia overview[1]:

"A year later, a worsened recession along with a delayed implementation by the Greek government of the agreed conditions in the bailout programme revealed the need for Greece to receive a second bailout worth €130 billion (including a bank recapitalization package worth €48bn), while all private creditors holding Greek government bonds were required at the same time to sign a deal accepting extended maturities, lower interest rates, and a 53.5% face value loss."

When you do the math (the maturity extension and interest rate cuts were steep), the total haircut was 75%+, with the bulk of the losses absorbed by French banks. It got a HUGE amount of press back in 2012—at least in the financial press. Google for "greece", "2012", "bond swap", "haircut", "debt swap", etc., you'll find hundreds of articles. Many of which boiled down to "um, if the troika doesn't take a haircut too, it won't fix the core problem, and we'll be right back here in another 2-3 years". They were right too. :(

Edit: Your link is part of that. All that's left is government held debt, and they STILL insist on avoiding any haircut, just as they have been this entire time. They were happy to see other people lose their money, but by now we're out of people with skin in the game. All that's left is the troika. Their insistence on avoiding a haircut is why everyone else had to have a 75%+ haircut..and why even that wasn't enough.

Yes, and no.

Yes in that a superpower does bend the rules to suit themselves.

No in that a superpower is suddenly held to a higher standard than the rest of the world. You'd need to resort to expansionism if you wanted to continue the way that China is right now.

> Where? Every treatment I've seen takes arithmetic as linear in the number of bits. [1] This is still consistent with O(n log n) for sorts because you can assume a bound on element size, and still only have constant factor overhead.

This is probably the only point of disagreement here. If I understand your critique of the O(1) result, it's that addressing n elements takes arithmetic (hashing) on numbers of log n bits.

ISTM that, assuming an integer RAM model, that same critique must apply to any input. A mere pointer into an array of n elements has log n bits, so just incrementing and testing the pointer can't be O(1), and even iterating that array can't be O(n).

It's still hard for me to see any reason why the one or two arithmetic operations in a for loop can be O(1), while the larger but still constant number used by a hash function can't.

Unless you were implying that this will continue, "Are you sure that the market won't fall another 30% in the coming weeks?" is simply a non sequitur. As of now this is something that could be called a correction; it could develop into something that could be called a crash.

As of now, if you invested the index four months ago, you haven't lost a penny.
I wager it's consensus that determines what sequence of words is considered "proper" or not. Personally I have very generous criteria for what a reasonable sentence is. Thought experiment: Reversed words of sequence the with but us for valid as count would that anything be to sentence valid a define.

When we're young we absorb language the way we experience it, in an informal and cultural way. I think in any attempt to categorize aspects of language this basic character has to be respected (which it is in linguistics, being fundamental to it, but which it isn't in e.g. English canon).

Accepting that one's language is actually a messy evolution-convolution of ancient languages is easier for some than others. :D
Tapping Twitter to gauge stock sentiment
The first two (worstest/most least, so smallest) are easily classified as wrong because "-est", "most", and "so" only apply to adjectives of positive degree rather than comparative or superlative. So to deny that grammar is "real" using these examples is to attack a strawman.

LVT has maintained support among mainstream economists as recent as Milton Friedman, Joseph Stiglitz, Paul Krugman, and Tyler Cowen. I have no idea where you are getting your misconceptions from.
Obviously going to be lots of "tl;dr" here, so I'll summarize:

Piketty's capitalism is all about numbers, Marx's was about social relations. Author preferred Marx. Author believes they have to be about the same thing because they have the same title.

I agree with the author in his critique, but like most critiques, they're more about the way the critic would have done it (but didn't) than about what is valuable within the work. Still, it's important to remember that beyond all the statistics, the social relations mean something.

Indoor almond farms

I don't mean as a hobby. Industrial scale, genetically modifying the almond trees for better indoor results.

Global demand for almonds will continue to vastly outstrip what California can handle via traditional outdoor growing. That would have likely happened even without the drought. The water requirements will place a cap on the almond industry's growth. The solution is drastically more efficient indoor growing.
Oh, I get what you're saying-- so "the" must be a superlative adjective, right? Makes sense really, as it's the "most specific" article.
It doesn't mention marriage, either. Just saying.
So I took everyone's advice and have done the following.

1) I mailed the company again saying that they have not yet addressed the issue. And that the vulnerability is now critical given how much info they are adding per day. Expressed that I would like to know if a patch is in the works.

2) Contacted several people in the IT security and audit business and asked what the standard procedure was. The response from our CERT was that for a vulnerability of this nature they need to respond with intention and details of fixing within 24 hours else I'm free to send one more email expressing intention to disclose vulnerability to public. Disclosure of vulnerability will not include how to exploit, proof of concepts, or any personally identifiable information.

3) if they say they need some time, and they say how much ( or I have to ask) I have to allow them that.

4) if things get ugly, CERT will take over upon my request

Yey. Thanks to all for the advice
Cheers. It's working with the magnet link.
I am working on a project that let's you stream video / files peer to peer: https://fuego.link/

This project is early beta. It's written in Elixir using the Phoenix Framework and uses React for the front-end. The source code is on GitHub: https://github.com/hayesgm/fuego

The end goal is to make file / video sharing in a browser fully peer-to-peer, similar to BitTorrent and cut out the middle-man. The project is open-source to allow anyone to create mirrors for peer discovery.

I'm happy for any feedback.
What are some things you say when politely complaining?
Even today you cannot drive from Van Ness to the Ferry Building on Market. Besides the fact that Market long ago was cut off at Stuart (a block or so before the Embarcadero) all non-bus/streetcar/taxi traffic going NE or Market is forced to turn right at 10th St for the last few years.

The buying and refinancing of bonds is a very direct support of the Greek economy as the bonds are used by the Greek banks as collateral when they go to the central bank to get cash euros to give to their customers.

Greeks have taken out billions of fresh euro bank notes from their ATMs in the past few months. Without the Troikas support this would not have been possible.

South Korea? Well I'm not surprised. Beneath the veil of democracy is a nanny state, forcing kids to install surveillance tool on their mobile phones, forcing bank and military to use IE and wonderfully secure ActiveX (required to do just about anything private and sensitive in Korea), requiring social insurance number to sign up for any website, use your real name so they can take you away if you write a blog post in Korean about smoking marijuana in Amsterdam, insanely bizarre Korean defamation law, polarized view of 'right' and 'left', with left being persecuted and painted in the same light as North Koreans, oppression of laborers, workers working for family owned conglomerates, indecency law (make Korean porno in Canada and get arrested once in Korea), hiding Gwangju massacre (officially a north korea inspired rebellion), silence and censorship of poor treatment of foreign workers (especially poorer Asian countries), east & west regionalism that creates discriminating policies based on lineage, the shit list far too long to go on.

It's no North Korea or Saudi Arabia, but there is active surveillance which seems to be readily tolerated along with nepotism and corruption, because Confucius says you should do what someone with an earlier birth date or higher social status. To go against this machine is to give up the government's version of Korean identity, a constant victim of passed aggressions of neighboring countries which happened because Korea has never been blessed with a great government or kings that always put the country in such predicaments.
Why would this wind up any differently then Spotify and Skype, two successful products that started out p2p but ended up centralized?

It sounds like what you would benefit from is a universal p2p caching layer. We have perhaps a nice foundation for this in plain unencrypted HTTP, just need to add the p2p part...

Also, bittorent has proved a good solution for me in similar circumstances to you. I've never tried streaming bittorrent but google tells me it is possible.
Have you guys been checking on the functionality of this system?

Multiple attempts through the web site yielded a busy signal, but calling directly went through immediately, which makes me think they somehow have your Twilio number blocked.

They don't seem to be taking any input via telephone, and instead direct you to Google to find a webpage with an email address.

I understand that having the phone ring off the hook could possibly make ICANN take notice, but you're probably losing a good portion of people's feedback being registered due to the hurdles involved with calling.

I think public ridicule is necessary as basically the only way users have to encourage security. Users are being harmed by a company penny pinching on security and virtually never receive any compensation.

So painfully wrong. There are many things you can do, including not giving up and walking off. You just have to decide you've had enough and are willing to do hard work.

And, last but not least, don't pick pedantic points to argue while losing sight of the main issue: it absolutely stinks to be a woman in tech.

> In the same way that it's immensely hypocritical of Germany to lecture Greece on debt, it's equally hypocritical of the Eurozone to lecture Greece on tax avoidance, when the bankers and corporates know damn well that if they weren't avoiding taxation at least as aggressively, austerity would be completely unnecessary.

Especially with the head tax avoidance manager at his head, Jean-Claude Juncker.

That said, my understanding is that there are real issues with the Greek state - not only cronyism and corruption, but lack of fundamental mechanisms like a proper welfare system or a cadastre. These issues need to be addressed, but seems at odds with the creditors' obsession with slashing public spending at all costs.

I also agree with Piketty about the way the crisis served to highlight systemic issues in the EU. Unfortunately, EU leaders appear completely unwilling to address them, apparently pretending nothing is wrong is much easier.

No, people blinding defending ride-sharing is the derailment. It's not about whether or not ride-sharing is a thing, it's about the legal gray area these companies operate in and the entitlements they claim with it. The concept is not the issue, the companies behind it are.
Not to keep you up, but what's even cooler is that the degree to which you can deviate depends on the adjective's class, too. While I can sorta see "brick ancient barn" working, albeit with such heavy emphasis on "brick" that "ancient barn" turns into a bit of a compound, "grain lone silo" or "fish dry pond" don't sound grammatical to me at all. Maybe also because "grain silo" and "fish pond" are almost-notquite compounds?
