I was under the impression that the parent was making the simplicity argument for people on the other side of things - people writing frameworks and websites. Using someone else's HTTP1.1 stack doesn't solve those problems. Then,

As others have pointed out there is a long anecdotal history of magnetic personalities getting hype and funding based on their empty promises. However, there are large counterexamples and this article clearly contains little technical criti

Paying more than you are legally obliged to could be considered donating though. I'm not commenting on the specific cases linked to but as I'm sure you're aware there is a massive grey area around tax law. You can't simp

I agree that depression is an overused word and wish your wife the best. However, the article absolutely does not say that depression is "just not wanting to get off the couch". It specifically states that this is referred to as s

I'm sorry but this is simply untrue. Every time I have hardware 1-1.5 generations behind (which is not always, I've done it both ways) the OS upgrade makes it somewhere between noticeably slower and painfully slow. I've recen

I haven't read the Black Swan. I skimmed a few places and know a Taleb fan who has read both Fooled by Randomness and Black Swan. With moderate confidence I'd say FbR is the better book - Black Swan seems to be much of the same ma

My first reaction too. However, it's not hard to imagine some escaping being thrown in there at some point.

I think this and the grandparent miss the point. The paragraph starts "it's too hard". Too much choice, lack of metrics, lack of clear comparisons can make things as hard as no choices. The availability of discount brokers do

I'm not sure I completely understand the criticism of the negative results. All of the supposed biases seem to apply equally to the control group (more healthy to start with, different baseline intake, not completing the course of pill

Doesn't it depend on the level of abstraction you see? The URI of the horn is known. The document is { remainingDuration: 1 }.

Do you mean the high level of opacity? There is considerably more opacity than in non-electronic trading, surely (everything on record, all data public, no effect from personal relationships etc)?

No, that role is generally performed by the broker/bank (who don't like HFT, in general). I'm not sure I see anything wrong with that either though. It is quite normal to take a spread in any industry - an orange seller steps

Which tax is it adding? You enter a limit order at a price, and you get filled at that price: that is true with or without HFT. With HFT, the spread is tighter, so either crossing or stepping inside makes your trade more efficient.

The article does exactly this - there is a programmer workman layout with the symbols and numbers switched.

This is why people call you 'shill'. You aren't disagreeing, just using leading speculation. These are specifically not the same issues as Boeing, whose design Musk criticised for ability to produce 'domino effect'

I think a key thing here is "plan to systematically do something that doesn't scale if the rewards are big enough". And the common bias is thinking that the rewards are not as big as they are. If it's in your top 3 probl

From reading the grandparent: "subsistence farmers are net consumers of their staple crop. In order to survive, the poor diversify across a variety of agricultural products" I don't understand the downvotes for the parent. Th

Then what are the requirements that make this necessary? Given security in layers tends to be the ideal, surely the dependence on generating at boot time could be considered part of the bug?

I can't be sure, but I don't think that was the point of the parent. The comment was with respect to the change, not a criticism of the language.

What about supporting <1, 2, 3> as well, and eventually deprecating the existing way? The end result would be much nicer.

Über is in London. My experience of London cabs is dated but would be that they are not even close. Drivers can be chatty (but maybe not in the way I want) and knowledgeable, but not always. Cars are not even close. No refreshments, have to

Is it completely unreasonable to also suggest that they would simply manipulate the data? I know, it's a strong claim without evidence. However, I'm under the impression that sales figures are routinely manipulated for other reasons, and it

There is not always one answer. In the UK the Royal Mail, electoral roll, credit reference agencies etc can disagree with each other.

I don't think 'largely factual' is largely factual. The difference between this review and the NYT one is night and day. Omissions, misrepresentation and tone matter - especially in journalism.

Are you sure it's for this reason? I always thought it was a bit dodgy - basically some European broadcasters effectively pirate the unencrypted broadcasts. This was only ever speculation, but in some countries channels occasionally disappe
