Every time I hear the "think of the children" argument against year-round DST, I ask myself why schools don't just start an hour later instead of dragging the rest of the world along with them. Year round DST FTW.
do any of your three new members understand percentages?
Clearly you are the Windows of reading comprehension.
Newfags are still cancer.
You seem to have misunderstood. You write Java once, then you run anywhere away from it.
Stil, it's good that they've done this for the kids what can't program so good.
Classical hallucinations are like an overlay on top of reality. When you take lsd, for example, parts of the world around you seem to change. You perceive things that are not there.
When you take Ayahuasca you seem to leave the world. The beginning of the experience feels like real movement, in a way blended into trippy hallucinations. For example, moving at speed down a tunnel made of magical symbols away from the world. Accelerating at higher and higher speeds with sensations rushing over you until you hit a "take off" and the entire world seems to be left behind. At the height of the experience you "peak" into something indescribable, and then in the hours after the peak you get the bulk of the experience where you seem to be in another world. The "other place" that you go to is a lot like dreaming, but very intense.

The invisible hand is hard to implement correctly. Each of the inefficiencies that you point out is a real problem, that causes further problems in the real world. But underlying all of this is a lack of information about the future. Although the non-deterministic allocation of capital is weak - each deterministic approach is weaker as it cannot react as quickly to changes in the unknowns of the underlying. In a very similar way to democracy, gambling seems to be the least worse approach that we have found so far. Any suggestions for alternatives?
Each of your comments so far paints a dismissive picture of "speculation" and "gambling". What exactly is wrong with these activities?
What an insidious way to try to shut down conversation.
You do not seem to be responding to my comment. If you are trying then read what I wrote rather than what you are projecting to be there.
This is a weak argument. Perceived merit does not correlate well with actual merit. Read any guide to interviewing and/or hiring.
Hiring on perceived merit is a thin disguise for hiring based on "how I feel about the candidate" - which is generally sexist and/or racist.
This is only true if you can measure merit precisely.
Anybody who has been involved in a hiring process knows that you cannot. When you are working with partial information the candidates are actually in a partial ordering rather than a total ordering. Which of course means that you can pick for diversity.
It is a reference to a book. Turn in your geek card and leave the site immediately.
Make headway at work. Continue to let things deteriorate at home.
