You may want to check if you're using the server JVM vs. the client JVM also... one of the differences is the level of optimization that the VM tries to do. The server JVM does deeper analysis during classloading, which increases star

Let me rephrase... why don't they have anything other than gold or cash equivalents?

Why don't they have stocks, diamonds, or any other types of valuables in their vaults?

If gold isn't money, then why do central banks have so much of it in their vaults?

Java (the language and the platform) is my #1 choice for almost everything I do. I can see why people wouldn't choose it though... for better or for worse. There are not a lot of technical reasons, except perhaps than in "the clou

Look that's why I said "if that money ever get paid off" not "when it gets paid off". And of course the only "not extremely bad" alternative is to continually roll over public debts forever. Financing tr

Right, of course. But ultimately debts are paid back through energy creation, natural resource extraction, tangible assets, and human labor. The accounting details of fractional reserve banking in a debt based monetary system aside, that

$57 trillion in world debt is something quite unlike a savings glut. And that is just public debt, and it is growing quickly. http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock But in general I agree with your overall

Perhaps worse for people in the US than a potential drop in exports (we've had a negative balance of trade for a while, irrespective of dollar strength) is the effect on corporate earnings for US companies that make money abroad. A st

Rail traffic plummeted in December also, extremely low even though there is clearly a seasonal dip during that month. 2016 is starting off lower than the previous 3 years as well. https://www.aar.org/data-center/rail-t

I don't think he's talking to you. If you are under 40 and are saving for retirement, have no debt, and have 6 months of expenses then you are lightyears ahead of most people in the US and you should call your parents and thank t

Thanks for the tips. I noticed Cordova already, but will consider it more closely.

I think this is a good approach. I'm not familiar with HITRUST so maybe this is part of it... but I wonder if there is a way for the lawyers to build something into the policy that makes it so that if a backup exists (for instance on

That's a nice theory, but here's how it really works in practice: gov extracts taxes with threats of prison -> civil "servants" paid with tax money -> unions tax civil "servant" salaries via automatic pay
