Ok, so you must be on Team Office Fire

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 …

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 Arbitr…

It's not for the benefit of the US

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 u…

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 crick…

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…

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, …

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…

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 …

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…

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://op…

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/…

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 cull…

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