I'd try not to confuse, how people should behave logically with how they actually behave.

Just noticed your comment there. And seriously impressive material there. And I've settled with Sublime not because I think it's absolutely superior to Emacs. But mostly because, I've noticed, that I don't use the advanc

That's exactly the point. For whistleblowing Assange shouldn't matter at all . His personality shouldn't be front stage like that. He centralised whistleblowing in the public's mind, whereas it should be decentralised

No, he put a trademark on whistleblowing and that's it.

I was personally interested if there are any leaks on Russia and China. Nothing really of note. But somehow those two countries don't strike me as somehow less likely to do creepy shit than U.S.

Seriously don't care about whether my analysis is insulting or not. But you really think, that the whistleblowers were just held back, because they didn't have a website to post their stuff to? Furthermore, if Assange wanted, he c

by jevgeni 12y ago
I'm surprised, how Assange is at all relevant. Frankly, I have a growing suspicion, that he's a sham. Does whistleblowing really need a gatekeeper? Most of the leaks, the really ground breaking stuff, was done by other people more

My progression was Vim -> Emacs -> Sublime. Funnily enough, on systems with no Sublime I still tend to use Vim. It took me about a month of consciously making myself work in Emacs to get a hang of it. But I don't use any major fe

More wild speculations: could it be, that these quasars are somehow connected through some yet unknown medium, that allows such behaviour? I mean it's difficult to sync clocks on several computers in the same building, how the hell cou

I'm not in tech. :) Also, comparing bulge bracket and higher end hedge funds with most tech companies isn't entirely fair. Are you sure you aren't in M&A? :d

by jevgeni 12y ago
You've mostly heard correctly. With the difference, that most tech people who are officially hired as techs by banks aren't very good. Good tech people are usually recruited by rebellious front and mid office desks.

Speaking from the trenches here. Banking, especially non-consumer banking (i.e. IB, prop trading operations, etc) is divided intro three tiers: front, middle and back office. Front office are the people directly dealing with "clients&q

True, if we expect the BTC FX risk to be lower, than the inflation risk of the best possible fiat currency choice, then BTC would be the superior choice.

Exactly, the volatility is why people wouldn't use it as a store of value. P. S. I like how you went "...or even EUR" ;)

Using Bitcoin is basically, like using a foreign currency, with the only difference, that in case of a the conventional currency you might actually live in the country it is used. In other words, whenever you use Bitcoin you take on FX risk

I had the exact same problem on an iMac. I've noticed, that it happened, when I've left my Wacom Cintiq "on" overnight, while designating it as a second monitor.
