Trump is not directly enriched. The last 2 decades of war have directly enriched a connected few.

You mean the Iran flare up?

Modern wars are not political, they are theatre to distract from the real goal, pillaging by the crony capitalists.

Just look at how many times they've tried to trick Trump into war. 1) The White Helmets faked a chlorine bomb in Duoma, then 2) CNN faked a Venezuelan military revolt, 3) also framed Molotov cocktail attacks, and 4) the Hawaiian nuke warning was faked. And now, 5) Iranian terrorists just waltz through security and set off an explosion at a US embassy.

If you want to talk about Iraq, then you'll have to go ALL the way back and look up Building 7.

You're right sorry for the harshness

Amidst the disruption of war, a lot can be accomplished without scrutiny.

It's not a matter of state. It's a market like any other. Think how common usurpation is in the financial sector -- LIBOR scandal, Bank of England audio leaks, Flash Trading Arbitrage, Goldman Sachs's ABACUS scam. Then, apply the same tactics to energy.

It's not for the benefit of the US

Whenever you hear about military tensions, retrace the news in that region and you will find newly discovered oil fields or pipeline plans.

On the contrary, this falls within Nassim Taleb's Minority Rule. Prions, being nearly indestructable, are an intransigent minority that will eventually hold sway over the rest of us.

Many on this board point to the inelasticity of their transmissible potential and call this fear-mongering. However, it is that same inelasticity that makes them intransigent. Once they have compromised an instrument, that instrument will remain compromised until each prion has specifically been destroyed. When you pair that intransigence with its lengthy incubation period, you actually have a force multiplier that, while not viral, would be scary enough to change behavior.

Fortunately, the article hints that retinal scans may eventually be used for initial diagnosis.

So, in other words, only regulate to prevent challengers. This is precisely what Facebook and the political establishment hope to achieve.

Interesting how much comment hype was on these boards when everyone felt safe to jump on the Red Scare Bandwagon, but now that the story falls apart those same commenters are crickets ... I would have expected better from Hacker News.

But a solid thanks to the Forensicator for doing the math that all you "Hackers" skirted

If T-mobile has a weakness, it is not signal strength. Coverage maps are a red herring. If you look at AT&T coverage in SoCal, you would think that they have it on lock. However in Downtown LA, AT&T is atrocious, and T-Mobile is stellar. Even if signal is weak where you live, T-Mobile was the first to unlock WiFi Calling for its phones. They even give you an awesome router for your home. If somebody is telling you that T-Mobile coverage sucks, its because they have no other complaints than this subjective opinion. Remember, coverage = Your Mileage May Vary

The original service was called Farecast before Microsoft bought them. It used to be very good, but the prediction info gradually became marginalized. We may never know the truth, but it feels as if Microsoft caved to pressure from the airlines.

Such an apologist. NY Times sent stories to Hillary for pre-approval. I worked in journalism. In my time, this was a scarlet-letter offense. The conspirators should be black-balled from journalism.

Nope, you nailed it. You've read enough of our prostitutes to correctly identify the state of US journalism. Fortunately, they should be completely ineffectual very soon thanks to efforts of my write-in presidential candidate Wik I. Leaks

Although, to be fair to Richard Thaler, the article you cite itself falls prey to the 1/n "mental accounting" heuristic. It gives half of its attention to a call center replication that did support the priming effect.

as @tiglionabbit mentioned, this is priming. The term should be famous now thanks to the books "Thinking Fast and Slow" and "Nudge". Also probably a dose of recency bias. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/31/psyching-us-...

Not sure why this was downvoted. This is priming. The term should be famous now thanks to the books "Thinking Fast and Slow" and "Nudge" http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/31/psyching-us-...

I watched the commercial and was immediately reminded of the Led Zeppelin album cover for Presence. Time for Jimmy Page to lawyer up. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f3/Led_Zeppelin_-...

Oh. Didn't make the connection that APC was on for Codeigniter, Laravel and the other frameworks.

In order to have an apples to apples comparison, wouldn't you at least need to have an opcode cache for the PHP frameworks?

PHP has to live and die upon each request, but Java culls all of its classes together on the first request and from then on it is running from RAM.

Many PHP deployments, and most serious ones, will opcode cache in addition to database and page cache. You could rerun these tests with opcode cache only, leaving page and database caches for your "cache" round of tests. That will at least approximate the dramatic differences in architecture between Java and PHP.

Pretty sure IE has always had a single process per browser window. At least since IE6

Umm... if you are over 40 in Iran than you are either the Shah or a foreign diplomat https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/...

Umm... the facebook post already stated that javascript analytics could only verify 20% of the traffic. They also explained that they wrote their own analytics sans javascript to verify that javascript was disabled.

How did he miss that? Self-inflicted black-eye for simplereach.com
