your stated difference being that one occured before, while the other after, an antitrust lawsuit?

"Algorithmic entities are likely to prosper first and most in criminal, terrorist, and other anti-social activities because that is where they have their greatest comparative advantage (edit: or what advantages exactly that they have?) over human-controlled entities."

Can anyone further elucidate what's meant by "comparative advantage"? also, i find this sentence particularly interesting. how did they come up with this notion?

Does anyone know why gerrymandering only includes Democrat and Republican parties? Surely some states like New Mexico who, at the time, had a third party Governor must have had districts that voted in majority for third party candidates.

hi posted this because i thought it was initially understood that the wannacrypt was a piece of weaponized NSA malware that was leaked from vault 7 (edit: or shadowbrokers), then in the news about 3 days ago I heard the U.S. now blames NK for the attack..,

Was this not true?

i did a quick search and didnt see this listed here:

yes, and i got good feedback. actually from 3 people one of which is my boss who basically said nice idea but good luck (no programming experience) and 2 friends who said they were down to program but wont really do anything until i get some groundwork started.

Funny, i have 2-3 really good ideas that i feel are genuine and have large profit potential, yet i have no team and hardly any programming skills to launch them.

got any service manuals for the POS computer or kiosk?

Starting in the United States from 1800, it seems there's one great financial 'panic' in 1857, and not another until 1910, shortly before the FED Reserve took control and started the fiatization and debasement of the currency. So about 50 years between crises.

It seems that the business or boom bust cycles is a relatively new phenomenon and it might just be related to the way the federal reserve handles the money.

Anyone feel free to correct or add info here as im not an authority on historical economics in the united states, but i have always found that the instillation of the federal reserve to be an 'epoch' of sorts for the US economically.

I read the blog post but I didnt quite understand it. Specifically the coding part. Can someone break it down for the noobs please?

Doesnt using spaces to indent code waste a lot of time? I mean sure if you're only indenting once, it takes a few extra key presses to make 1 tab worth of space bar clicks but if your code gets really deep, then you're talking about wasting a lot of time hitting the space bar key per indent PER line...each subsequent line of indented code doubles the amount of space bar clicks...

Am i missing something here? this sounds really dumb, as tabs make the most sense, and it appears use less memory as well.

insightful, earned the upvote

I just reviewed the wages vs min wage and i dont see how this can be true, unless these are trusted prisoners who work off-prison jobs.

Prison jobs are notoriously low paying such as cook or dishwasher which ranges from $0.10-0.15/hr.

I interviewed several prisoners at a state prison in utah (draper perhaps?) back in 2005 and got the scoop and it was very belittling to see that prisoners were paid that low.

i just dont see how it could've jumped so high in only ten years.

From the info i gathered this is not a utah phenomenon either the prisoners are paid extremeley low wages in other parts of the states as well.

genious idea though

I agree, i was expecting this to be priced around the same price as the chromebooks or netbooks (~$200 USD) and i was sticker shocked at $999

So is this just another veiled attempt to repeat Windows RT? it says it runs only windows store apps.

in the US wire transfers cost about $30 per transfer, international cost about $50.

If you're transferring to another customer in the same bank then they're free but I've never had that luxury.

Were you referring to bank transfers to same bank customers? Because I've never heard of zero fees for bank transfers

can you please link to troy's article? i'm interested in reading it.

yes initially then they started balancing and tweaking stuff.

does it R41LZ?

i use brackets right now, would i like this?

Anyone know a tool to stop people from being able to tag you (in their posts)? this shit is getting out of hand..

couldnt agree more. rights are inherent by the creator

I am more distressed by the fact that this judge is allowing the FBI to use this tool and not allowing defendant access to its source code in discovery. This is unacceptable.

-Couldnt agree more

agreed

While i dont agree with the Judge, i also detest the criminals they were trying to arrest.

What people should always remember is that statute or no statute, expectation of privacy or not, precedent or no precedent...

The jury system needs to be thoroughly re-educated in their rights to nullification. If we use these precedents to arrest child abuse criminals today and ten years from now it becomes used to quell dissent the jury's who sit for these trials MUST know their power to nullify the trial/law being charged...

From wiki..."The jury in effect nullifies a law that it believes is either immoral or wrongly applied to the defendant whose fate they are charged with deciding."
