hat the new analysis reveals is the reality of two Americas, one on par with most of Europe and parts of Asia, and another no different than a third-world nation with the United States placing 41st on the 2008 CIA World Factbook list, behind Bosnia but still edging out Albania

How much of that is due to homicides? How much is due to car accidents? The study does not seem to control for these factors. It's pretty much rubbish. How much of that is due to selection bias ?

I too can take the distribution of age at death, cut it in half and argue that the lower part's age expectancy is dramatically lower than the upper half.

People doing these studies are quite often bozos which start from the answer (we need socialism and redistribution) and work backward.

In this case you bitch to your friends about their lack of discretion and if they don't get the hint you consider not hanging out with them, at least not where cameras are around. The third party (in this case Facebook) has nothing to do with it.

People who really care about their privacy do not yell about privacy law. They use secure systems, they keep their life private.

I think people who are vocal about privacy are just trying to signal that they have interesting lives. If your life is boring and common, it has very low information entropy. By hinting that you have some private information, they're often trying to imply their life is interesting. And when they're done yelling, they twitter what they had for breakfast.

We need comprehensive data privacy laws, protecting our data and communications regardless of where it is stored or how it is processed. We need laws forcing companies to keep it private and delete it as soon as it is no longer needed, and laws giving us the right to delete our data from third-party sites. And we need international cooperation to ensure that companies cannot flaunt data privacy laws simply by moving themselves offshore.

And snazzy uniforms for the global information police I guess...

Reminds me of a similar idea I had around high school, package a condom with each canned drink in the vending machines.

This is not a troll, this is informative.

No, he said that the real Azincourt was on flat ground, gp said that the game Azincourt was also on flat ground so the OP's error was not induced by the game being inaccurate but because he misremembered it.

I didn't say anything about layer of participants. I didn't imply any form of layer in my analysis.

It's not the holding which is risky, it's the price offering. Any liquidity provided is a sitting duck for people with more information.

would remove the freedom users have to gain access to source code by eventually allowing its inclusion in proprietary products

This is not freedom, this is a possibility. Labeling possibilities as freedoms is essentially a marxist trick.

If I download GPL code without the GPL license from a torrent, I am not agreeing to any restriction on my freedom, I am not signing anything. The GPL uses a copyright to force me to disclose source code if I distribute derivative products, yet I never agreed to the GPL in the process.

The pirate party is right to oppose copyright, and Stallman understands correctly that this is a danger for the GPL. The GPL uses copyright to force people to disclose source code while traditional copyright uses copyright to force people not to disclose information. Both of them restrict freedom.

High frequency trading, millisecond holding period mean that traders are able to bring more liquidity to the market. A floor on holding periods will increase bid ask spreads as limit orders will become riskier and increase volatility. In this story, Broadcom shareholders were able to sell their stocks for a higher price

for who wants to be a millionaire.

In promiscuous species, a male has a seminal fluid budget to spend carefully, there's every reason in the word to weight the amount produced by the expected fitness of the offspring. Humans are not that promiscuous, which is why our testicles are not as big as say bonobo who need a large sperm budget to go through their day.

The other major reason is the vast majority of video games sold in the United States have only small amounts of sexual content because of the Electronic Software Rating Board.

Maybe the term can of worm was improperly chosen. I welcome this development in biotech, but if it happens, it will have a lot of unforeseen consequences and not all of them will be good. I for one favor individual liberty and a proactionnary principle, so go for it.
