His argument is the political uncertainty and the certainty that government services would have to be cut in the future or taxes raised or both in the future cost at least as many jobs and the stimulus might have created, and likely cost better jobs.
I don't like Perry for lots of reasons, I REALLY REALLY hope he does not get the GOP nomination, but he is right about stimulus. Its not a good economic policy to try and smooth over anything but the shallowest dips. It just kicks the can down the road, at great cost.
Rather then letting the market reorganize, it reduces allocation efficiency, preserving the methods, practices, and activities of today stifling the discovery and development those fit for tomorrow. This country will never find a way forward as long was refuse to accept capital destruction.
If not crushed to death subjected to cardiovascular stress your body can't cope with, neither sounds fun.
If you look how Medical doctors who commit suicide do it, barbiturates are their most common method. Which makes sense because doctors have access to drugs so they are more likely to choose drugs, but the fact they select that class of drug, suggests its probably the most comfortable way to end it all. They would be the experts after all..
Probably not a cron script. If you introducing noise to obfuscate information that might leak through a side channel attack like this you want that noise to be as random as possible. If its predictable someone may be able to work out that pattern, interpolate what the side channel data would look like with out it, and then run their original analysis.
What would be better is a little C program that read a byte two from/dev/urandom, slept that number of ticks, woke up did some calculations on some more random values, and then went back to sleep for the length of the result. The more spiky the CPU utilization the better.
RingDev and if you did not have their capital to use for your "work" you would have virtually no income.
Their being able to provide you the opportunity to use their capital is why you have a job. If you let the government take if from them, that wealth will be wasted. It will go to employ someone, probably not you, in some inefficient or poorly allocated effort until its gone. Then its gone and our economy is smaller and or society poorer.
Nobody should be taxed on anything except consumption. All consumption should be taxed, save for a tiny range of food products and possibly housing to make the system a little less regressive. Anything else is immoral, you have no right claim what belongs to another. The fact that the wealth use more public resources is automatically accounted for in a pure sales tax system because they do more consumption (if they want to).
Maybe but to me a gradual phase out of the disk business would have made more sense. Keep slowing raising the prices for disks, order smaller numbers of new releases and stop expanding the back catalog. You would lower the yours costs of the disk business will increasing the price until one day you just shut her down.
In the mean time you work like a dog to improve the content and souring of new content for your streaming service. I agree with Hastings that they need to get out the DVD business if they are to survive, but its to much to soon.
Right now the DVD by mail service was something non of the real competition (those in the streaming business) could offer. It was something that really differentiated them in the market. They should not give that up until they have something to offer on the streaming side you can't get anywhere else or that nobody else can do nearly as well.
Right and the "flix", in something like DiskFlix, would have some brand recognition, which leads me to think that the experience with the service and or expected outcome for the business is not something they *want* associated with their brand.
One of the reasons I decided the price hikes were acceptable was that Its "month to month" in that I was going to be able to do the streaming only service, consume the new content there, than switch back to the DVD service for a couple months until they get new stuff available on streaming.
If this makes it hard to do that it further reduced the value to me and starts to make competitors like Amazon and Hulu+ look interesting. I still think Netflix is probably the better value proposition at the moment, even with the price hikes; but if this means I can't easily switch between one type of service and they other, I might have to start looking at other options for content again.
This is a dumb move, all around AFAICT. Its basically an accounting trick to make the EPS of Netflix proper look a little better, investors won't wont be fooled, customers like me will be aggravated.
Although some use the inability to produce viable and fertile offspring as the method of determining when real speciation has taken place. What this may show is that H.Sapiens and H. neanderthal are not different species but merely different breeds. As Russian Blue and American Short Hair are very different looking but are both feline domesticus.
I am not sure things were better during prohibition, but they certainly were better for a long time after that. Per capita alcohol consumption did not return to per-prohibtion levels until the 1960s. This arguably had health benefits for many.
The rate of domestic violence against women declined by almost 50% during prohibition and started rising again in the years after repeal. While that particular social problem has been mitigated in other ways in more recent decades, we might expect to see further improvement if we did take drinking alcohol back out general public's hands.
So while I would not call prohibition a success and politically I don't think government should be deciding what I can or cannot put in my body. Its worth considering there were some positive social effects.
It only debases money when government gets involved and creates fiat currencies, and does bailouts. If you had currency tied to commodity of limited supply, and banks that go bankrupt when they make to many bad loans there would be no debasement.
Banks can create as much additional money through lending as the market can support. When the markets value expand the quantity of currency expands to match, if the bank over steps the loans go bad and have to be written down, the extra money is destroyed. If the banks gets really crazy a run on it happens and the entire bank is destroyed, along with much of the leveraged capital.
"Windows 95" was actually version-ed 3.95, and shipped with DOS 7.0. It was a direct successes to DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1(1). I think the OEM only "Windows 95 OSR2" was actually version ed 4.0, and "Windows 98" was version-ed 4.10.
They never crossed the version numbers between Windows and Windows NT, the Windows line was simply terminated after ME (cant recall the number). A "Home edition" was added to the to the usual Server, Professional/Workstation flavors, NT had always been made available in and consumers were pushed into the NT family that way.
How good an idea is for people to installing lists of CAs form some site on the internet? Sure they might take DigiNotar out but who did they put in? For SSL to authenticate reliably and securely it has to be managed by the end user carefully, and that requires understanding.
The trouble is if you start having the browser vendors adding and removing CAs all the time, you screw things up for the certificate purchaser. My site gets screwed because my CA fails and audit and the browser vendor consortium drops the root certificate for my CA. That kinda sucks.
LBJ was certainly worse then carter, probably our worst president in history after Lincoln who for some reason gets a monument despite trashing our Constitution. You are correct that under
Regan we saw deficits rise to greater levels than and prior point in history but the rate of growth was actually lower than it was under Carter! So this Liberal Myth that Regan was so terrible for our nation fiscally is true only if you accept that Carter was worse. I will accept that Regan was bad for the national deficit situation but if we want to demonize the man and his policies we need to recognize that the proposals from this nations left are in fact not alternatives and um try something that is actually new.
Sounds nice, but how do you know the CSR is valid? Air gaping the CA might work for your home or business but its no good for commercial CA provider. They get thousands of CSRs everyday.
Do you expect them to individually transfer them or do thing they might um do it in batch? So lets suppose I break into the processing system and stick a few of my own CSRs in there and mark them in the database as validated or whatever, your monkey at the CA is going to dump those CSRs along with all the legit ones to the floppy, sign them and load the responses back to the processing system.
ok fair point, I guess, but if you go to www.mybank.com today without putting https:/// in front of it your browser will almost certainly try http first, and if the server answers you will get an unsecured connection with no warnings.
Mind you it might not be your banks server that answers either, might be anyone redirecting port 80 traffic along the way. So I still say either self signed SSL certs should be treated as clear text, at the application level. Now perhaps the browser should throw up all kinds of scarey warnings about plain HTTP
So you want to replace the cryptographically secure method of certificate validation and revocation with your own method where anyone can essentially poison the list of thumbprints.
I agree that self signed certs should be treated like clear text from a security perspective rather than setting off alarm bells but, we still need secure third party identity validation.
The problem as usual is not the hard working people at the post office, its CONgress. Government as usual IS THE PROBLEM. The post office in my experience is pretty well run and at least for the lat 10 years or so most postal employees I have interacted with have been very helpful and provided excellent service.
CONgress dictates much of the rate policy and the services they office. If the Federal Government let them operate more independently and competitively I am sure they could.
You know what the *worst* part is. This will be held up, just like Fanny and Freddy as more prove that there is something wrong with capitalism. When it the Postal service is anything but an independent actor in a free market.
This is the insidious way the socialists are taking over this nation. First they interfere in the free market, making it unfree and then when things go badly, the use it as an excuse for still more regulation and central planning. Government IS THE PROBLEM. The USPS should be sold and CONgress should stop regulating it at all.
They were stupid to let the Guardian to get the key in the first place but once it was out making it more available was the right call.
When you had to get the data and key together that require time, and some computer skills. People who might retaliate against leakers have the resources to marry the key and copy of the data they either already had or could get from torrents.
That might be much harder to do for some poor tribesman who has limited or intermittent access to the internet. By making the information easier to get at, it lowers the bar, makes it easier for potential victims to know if they have been outed, and need to protect themselves.
In the world of unacknowledged weapons and surveillance systems pretty much anything could be anything. Just because someone slapped some US military lingo and American formatted dates does not mean anything. Maybe it was built by someone who had been in the States and thought nothing of it but is not connected with the US officially, maybe someone else made it and used surplus American components, maybe someone wanted to try and embarrass the US by making it look American, maybe someone else is spying and does not want it know so just made the thing to look American encase it was captured.
Just off the top of my head it could be: ISI CIA Israel Some engineering students who have been recruited by extremists A hobbyist
Where do you get off? What right do you have to ask your Uncle and his children to take a risk your pal's brother disproportionately benefits from?
Perhaps you should get off your moral high horse. Like anything else people have the right to make their own decisions and I can't fault someone who looks at the numbers and decides the risk of contracting the disease and the possible result of that is more tolerable than the risks of having a bad reaction to the immunization.
If everyone did it then measles incidents would rise and the economics of risk would change, people would start to chose to get vaccinated in larger numbers again.
Until then perhaps your pal's brother should take responsibility for his own health and if he is worried about measles, perhaps he should just avoid densely populated areas.
