Civic responsibility. You choose to be part of this society and you owe it a debt for the stability and opportunity it provides you. Its not an entitlement and your egocentric attitude toward privacy places you, and society, at risk. There

It is possibly true that most chips are compromised by various state actors, but the outrage here is the leak. If the NSA must compromise US Tech, could it at least ensure the compromise remains secret? Kudos to the Chinese for at least mai

We left hipchat for slack for several reasons. First, we saved some money. There were more integrations for slack. The result has been mixed with my more technical users embracing slack, and my less technical users revolting. Hipchat is

You will do fine. Pick a project you like or whose codebase you will be leveraging, and follow their coding standards and practices. Get working code up quickly and don't get distracted. If you end up at a big co., you will look back o

I like to think of Gravity as a result of mass deforming space in the same way a brown turd deforms toilet water as it spins inevitably toward the outlet during flushing. Standing atop the turd you are affixed to its mass, but the entire sy

I expect USGOV to lose the keys argument, but not without extracting vast sums from Congress for projects that promise to work around the obstacle of strong encryption. I'm also hearing less and less about cues missed that could have

I'm not trolling, as much as it will seem the opposite, but I feel compelled to wonder about postnatal mania (mild postpartum psychosis) as I read the letter. I wonder how different (or private) the letter may have been had it come fou

No. What matters is the ability of the majority of people to have decent jobs, such that the State can maintain economic and social stability. The ineffecincies huge debt driven growth create make stability long term impossible.

Internal debt is not an asset because the debt holders are SOE's, provincial governments and companies too big too fail. Therefore the largest share of debt is public debt, and work must be done to raise incomes throughout China so tha

I must disagree. The US has a shortage of employable workers as evidenced by the current unemployment rate relative to wages; it has a demographic imbalance where too few young people earn enough to support resources drawn by a much larger

This story masks BAD news. http://blog.mpettis.com/2015/11/chinas-rebalancing-timetable... China's debt today is over 200% of its GDP and may exceed 300% in five years. One hopes the IMF and China agreed on c

It wouldn't suprise me to learn the Obama administration downplayed ISIS purposefully. Nothing builds a coalition like a common enemy, and apart from some disagreements over targeting, the key players (Iran, Russia, Europe, Turkey) are

Tehran is quite busy dealing with threats on all sides, whilst still trying to pursue its support of Hezbollah in Lebannon. I think lessons learned in Iraq changed the calculus for Tehran and Washington. Keeping in mind there are at least 1

Totally agree for four reasons: 1. Wealth demography. Wealth is held by older people seeking safety not growth/risk. 2. Capital stagnation. Capital is being stockpiled by central banks and large corporations. The former seeks to rec

The duration of this decline is unprecedented. In 2008 indicators bounced back in months. This decline started in late 2013 early 2014 and appears to be increasing in intensity.

Inflation positive? WPI, PPI, CPI and oil prices have all fallen. Where are you seeing any relevant signs of inflation? Remember growth in M2 is offset growth in bank excess reserves sequestered at the Fed.

That is not the consensus. The consensus is a massive decline in commodity prices (oil, metals, etc) and a decline in demand for exportable finished goods is crushing global trade. Indicators are everywhere: Rail Traffic Data: https:&#x2F
