Just for the context, Anarcho capitalists believe that minimizing the government is not possible. For them, once a government is established, it always gets bigger. From the `Impossibility of limiting the government` section of `What must b

Not really. Monopolies are mostly created by the state. Either with crony capitalism, intellectual property laws or directly state controlled production. Besides, Laissez-faire capitalism can create large scale infrastructure, why do you cl

Society is not your family. Your responsibilities are very different in both. But the main issue is who decides what your social obligations are? Helping people is a moral issue and right for "me", but may not be a moral issue fo

The real question is, how did this change the overall population's well being in Jamaica? I think most of the time some suffers from the results of the free trade but much more go to a better state than before.

I would like to see some kind of metrics/information showing that quality of life of a person has been declining. Because I do believe quality of life has also been increased globally. Edit: "quantitive" is replaced with &quo

Perhaps better is to say, "Thank you for opening the trade gates".

Still, this is a relative improvement. There are many other indications (such as infant death ratio) supporting this.

They are no longer selling Linux versions. Also only MySQL and mssql are supported. MySQL is not recommended. http://help.fogcreek.com/7389/fogbugz-system-requirements

Also Atlassian products are multi platform. Whereas fogbugz is windows only for the server side. That is a deal breaker for many.Additionally unlike Fogbugz Atlassian products are DB agnostic.

Most likely they do not store the image of the fingerprint. They may store the minutae which is not that good. But if they store the hash of the minutae (something like locality sensitive hash) it would be quite safe.

AFAIK current ASR systems uses grapheme transcriptions for training their acoustic models. So they have the speech and the transcription "Hello World" and during training, they are automatically converted to phones kind of "h

I think that is just a technology showcase that this technique is so good that for some small-mid size pronunciation dictionary, it can work quite well without using a language model. Similar works were reported recently (ASR systems withou

Seems like they are getting close. But some issues: - Not yet Human level accuracy even for the clean speech. - Vocabulary limit is still an issue (but they are much better than before) - Recognition under very noisy environments. - Recogni

You are exaggerating and your rant is not fair or relevant. They are honest with that sentence and this is potentially a big contribution to software world and Internet.

We will never know the opposite wont we? It is not that state is not capable of investment on innovation. They are just terrible at it. There are many rebuttals on the issue of "government is necessary for innovation". Here is one

From all I know, they see the current government as "tyrants" and "enemy of God". They may see some radicals here as their allies but this news is much like "i heard that", "he said this" kind.
