You've come here to fight me Man, what are you talking about? Are you just trolling? I can't tell if you're being serious. Yet there is a well-authored video which highlights the points I am making. You're not making any points as far a

I read "won't hear a better argument" You are right. I have not studied Capitalism or any other type of economic framework. But would it matter? If you've committed to the idea of our "finest form" of economy, than like any religious per

I think it is better that we don't attempt to "protect" Capitalism ideology (as you have just done), rather, attempt to refine and always course-correct to something more mature and more stable. At what point did I 'protect' capitalism? Y

I think you have some good points but whose to say an -ism isn't the correct philosophy? You assume that -isms are inherently wrong. Why?

Well, Brazil is doing pretty well. My point was not to prove a general theory by isolated example - simply to provide a counterpoint. I think it's more fruitful to compare the economic/moral philosophies of these systems than to compare exa

I'd be interested to hear what other economic structures you think are better. I haven't heard a better argument than capitalism. Also, you should note that in America we don't have a capitalist economy - we have a mixed economy.

And notice that that the US, UK, Germany, and Japan are all in dire economic straits right now. Also, the police force not a socialist institution. To sustain a free market requires the state-sanctioned protection of life and property. The

Wonderful quote. Thank you.

Unless you're dealing with primitive data types, aren't your payloads just pointers (to structs or null-terminated strings)? Or is it more usual to allocate space within the node and memcpy the bits in? I've always wondered that. Thanks

They're saying that they use http://typewith.me And honestly those questions that they ask candidates seem reasonable for the type of work they're doing.

I did use the ELPA. It's really a great system. That combined with lein makes clojure very easy to use. Getting started was, as I mentioned, frustrating though. Nearly all guides recommend the old way.

If anyone's interested I can write up a blog post which walks one through setting up clojure + emacs + swank/slime + Leiningen on Ubuntu. It was quite a frustrating experience. The first hit on Google for setting up a Clojure dev environmen

Also, even if we proved P=NP wouldn't we still have to discover a general algorithm for solving IP systems?

This is a great explanation. I found it really easy to follow. The only part I'm having trouble understanding is the cubic graph example. I am aware of the four-color map theorem but I've never seen it expressed mathematically.

Semi-related: Can anyone point me towards some up-to-date documentation on Compojure? I can't seem to find any anywhere.

A huge issue with the gmail client is that you cant send-mail-as. I have my school account hooked up to gmail using my schools SMTP server but I cant't send mail as that email address from the phone. If any Google engineers are reading this

but you think you know all the answers and they're so obvious that you can be smug and condescending about them. With the exception of me stating my opinion that appropriating private property is immoral, I have simply been stating facts.

Well I appreciate the summary. It's interesting that you should bring up the railroad industry as an example of why anti-trust laws are necessary.... The railroad industry was extremely corrupt and was heavily subsidized by the government.

For the most part, yes. Would you mind explaining how that's relevant?

IANAL but extending "eminent domain" to telecommunications infrastructure does not seem straightforward or cut and dry. Eminent domain typically refers to a physical property. And eminent domain has been affirmed by subsequent supreme court

Really? The debate is a valid one. Net Neutrality (forcing telecom companies to relinquish control over their property), is only potentially a valid idea because they hold a government-assisted monopoly. They receive government subsidies an

Just like you can use Linux instead of Windows, you can choose Android instead of iOS. Apple has a responsibility to its shareholders to make money. It therefore has a near-totally correlated responsibility to make products that appeal to t
