Considering illegal immigrants don't go through the immigration process, there being millions of illegal immigrants roaming and the US having the ability to monitor all legal immigrants are correlay r. IT ability is not related to how well the US can secure its border physically at this point.

They don't link to it in the article. This should be the link, it has a summary of the ruling with it.

If an entity doesn't see a good way to invest money, they won't borrow money to make money. This is what they mean when 'the demand for money is low'. If the government borrowed money, they would not make as much on that money as the interest payment to who they borrowed from, so they never borrow the money.

This has the overall effect of reducing money demand, reducing the premium to get that money (the interest rates continue to drop). Everyone though 0% interest was a hard line and you couldn't go lower, until negative interest rates were introduced to try and reverse this trend, which it largely hasn't.

Consider that anyone actually involved or interested and believe in the mission of Wikileaks would not read it at work. Assuming that, anyone who does read it at work (for the government) is almost certainly reading it with a biased view against the website.

If they are reading Wikileaks with a bias for the site, they probably shouldn't be working for an employer they don't agree with ethically.

If one or either of them drops below the value of BTC pre-split, then no. No one knows what will happen, and assuming they'd not drop by the difference of pre-split is definitely not guaranteed, especially if you consider the pre-split price highly inflated.

Note I follow CC a little bit more than casually, no expert and I'm not sure what the GP means exactly by this statement.

I was thinking about this as well, maybe something like ComputerCraft which uses Lua but build on top of it, try and make it more visual though.

I was thinking about this just yesterday, and wondering if python could be taught in game like ComputerCraft uses Lua, except for python.

Maybe certain object/data types could have a physical presence like a database could be a shelf, and hooking them up physically would create a real database will multiple tables that could be interacted with in the game. I was thinking about this more in the sense of actually helping me model applications instead of teaching, as it would just be more fun to work with. Does anyone else have interest?

Another way of thinking about this could be like a library with bookshelves in game that you can actually walk though, and program an in game robot to get certain books when you want certain things (querying), and it could help visualize how a database and application were set up and working together.

Honestly I read the comments first, I enjoy and learn from HN comments often more than the original article. Thanks for pointing out I was missing context.

I know I'm this situation the dev made a simple mistake, but I wonder if Ethereum is safe as a system assuming developers will make many mistakes, and those mistakes will happen more often as more complicated contracts are written.

At some point I wonder if the idea of smart contracts is better than a traditional system, since they seem prone to developer error due to complexity.

I wonder if new neurons for adults could act more like 'aged' cells in the rest of the body, where the cell knows how old it is. Could neuron connection be like the age property where that information is passed down?

@sagarm 's comment clears this up pretty well, but to clear up the monopoly point: You can always drive on a different road. It might take you a lot longer, but you have many options. Many (most?) internet connections are not like this. Even in suburbs close to big cities any one ISP often has a monopoly. My entire town only has Comcast, and it's very close to a large US city. Personal example, but there's no options.

Do you have a reference for this? I've honestly never heard of this and had no idea, even though I study politics and economics somewhat closely. I've never seen this brought up as a point on either side when talking about taxes, so I'm curoious if this is the case if there are exceptions that have become the rule and thus this might be technically true but not seen by most people?

TL;DR: taxes are hard, do you have a reference?

Free speech applies to to public (government) entities. You can prevent someone from exercising their rights if they are within your private property. In public spaces this isn't the case, as it's public, but an employer doesn't have to allow any freedoms to their employees (minus human rights violations, which are explicitly stated in law).

So a company could say you aren't allowed to say a single word during work hours while working for them. They would also not have employees.

It is, although it isn't really a 'kill switch' in the sense it can't be deployed universally, but per system it works. This could be considered temporary though, as is turning off your computer if infected and NOT turning it back on. The encryption only takes effect after a restart.

Governments are distinctly different than most other organizations, primarily because they can force you to do something you don't want to do. Corporations can't do this (unless there is a monopoly on a needed utility (water company, etc). Even cartels and gangs are terrible because they act as a government in small/local areas, but have incredibly unfair punishments when people don't comply. Governments are ultimately far more dangerous than almost any other organization.

Big companies are not like government. Government is the law and what everyone adheres to; companies simply aren't. A private company can't force you to do anything you didn't agree to (agreement = contract/interaction), governments force people to do things they can't opt out of. Corporations are bad, but governments are much worse because they can use information they have to force people. If you are thinking that lobbying means corporations are basically government and therefore it's all the same, this isn't true either as lobbying doesn't always happen, and even through lobbying corporations normally lobby for favorable non-restrictive legislation, it doesn't allow them to force people as a government does.

I've stated this before and I'll state it again: Trump won on his economics, not his social positions. The rust belt won him the election, where many people felt left behind and he promised to bring manufacturing back. It's hard to blame them based on Hillary's position.

I was considering being a Catholic priest at one time, I never said I wasn't in a religion, only that I'm not now. And predestination isn't what the OP is referring to. In predestination, one's life is already laid out and chosen by God, that life itself isn't God. The society itself reflects God's plan, it isn't God.

What a silly argument. (Disclaimer: atheist) Your argument doesn't understand what god(s) mean. In what world does anyone use society as an understanding or proxy of god? This argument makes a fallacious assumption as its primary argument then goes on to make other points based off of that incorrect assumption by definition.

And besides that, I think you grossly underestimate the stubbornness of many who go to jail in the first place. Getting a human to be humble is one of the toughest things you can do, and that difficulty is often an inverse of intelligence in my experience (are there studies on this? And I'm not talking about the ultra rich or ultra famous people.)

Can confirm that your experience at the top ten school applies to Purdue Engineering and Technology majors. First year starts out slow with mostly 100+ people classes (accounting had 1,100! 550 in the room at a time), but after that they get specialized and you normally find the more personable professors in the higher numbers since there are normal size classes of maybe 10-50.

Mans Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl, especially good if you're feeling down or disallusioned.

What I meant was HFT as I (and how I think the 'common person') understands it is that trading is basically a zero sum game since trading doesn't really help a company raise money over very short time periods, but investing is not a zero sum game where you're looking for stocks to go up over the long term.

Where I think HFT is zero sum is your competing against other HFT people to more accurately and quickly predict the future in the very near term, then buy & sell in a very short period. And since the market changes all the time, these algos must change to stay profitable over time as the competition improves their algos to beat you. Algo trading might work in markets where HFT isn't big yet, but most people won't know which markets that is or how to actually trade there, and if you get good enough to make successful models, you're basically in the industry, it's probably way more than a hobby at that point.

In general CTFs are a list of problems you're trying to solve in a set amount of time, ranging from a few hours to a week or so (and some open CTFs are not time bound, just for learning). They will tell you something (normally very, very minimal info or a hint) and you try to find or figure out a string to 'capture the flag' and get the points for that problem. The harder the problem, the more points you get. The person or team with the most points win.

The types of questions range depending on the CTF and the goal of the CTF. Some of things from the OWASP top 10 (1), while others might have logic problems, math problems, or reference problems where you figure out the answer instead of finding it.

The main issue I found in algo and financial aspects of programming is that the market is a zero sum game, and my intro knowledge of finance and algorithms, even when I know python, are no match for MIT PHD Quants who does it full time. There's no real way to compete with that, and therefore I would lose money, even if the data showed it might be successful in the future, firms and full time workers on algo trading would simply be faster, more focused, have more funding, and be able to quickly and constantly adapt at the scale an individual could not.

So despite the fact that the subject is interesting, I'd consider it a waste of time to try and gain anything but a basic understanding of the industry and how algo trading works.

Although this has been done, the social security system is primarily going to fail because more people are using it then have paid for it, so the system is actually borrowing from the future citizens (our kids). You can blame defense spending (which is too much), but that's not the main reason the system itself is broken.

There is a difference between Anarchy and libertarianism. Most libertarians want less government, not no government.

Anecdotal but where I go to school (a top university) people often will drink then take adderall since it focuses you while you're drunk so you don't seem as drunk but can still have fun.

I highly doubt however that it's more popular then molly and I know it isn't as popular as weed, which is still the recreational drug of choice. This might be skewed as coming from a good university hard drugs aren't as popular as some other schools, but I think it's enough to debunk a baseless claim.

It's not so surprising given that if Uber doesn't find anything, Google would have a much better chance at the Prelim. Injunction. Hiring a 3rd party firm isn't needed since Google is ahead either way, and Uber doesn't need a third party firm to search its own system (or at least, hopefully they don't).

This article has some great tips, but I wonder if they're trying to sell something... maybe a sleeping mask, I'm not sure though (/s).

I've had insomnia since I can remember. I could never take naps when I was young and still can't today, and it normally takes me 1-2 hours to fall asleep after laying down. It's currently 3 am. I've tested with tech, without tech, both are about the same, I just get less bored when reading after I can't go to sleep. I always wonder if I can't fall asleep due to my routine or my routine is the way it is because I can't fall asleep. This article makes the cause/effect relationship routine/sleep respectively, but it seems to me it can be the other way around for people with (extreme) insomnia.

Disclaimer: not a sleep expert, have just tried many tactics.
