Having been in the academia I can tell you that from my experience there's two main reasons why scientists are often reluctant to share their code: A) embarassement at having other people see how bad it is. Not necessarily wrong, but b

I don't disagree from your overarching point, but just a nitpick: I mostly disagree when you say that Nazis were socialists. Of those people who supported the Nazis, the vast majority did so in part because the Nazis marketed themselve

"learning to trade" says almost nothing, as there are many different strategies that you could be learning. So what did you learn exactly? :-)

For our American friends, this is like finding that the Democrats screwed over Bernie Sanders during the election campaign. Sounds familiar? There's a difference, which is that here Corbyn actually became the Labour party leader. Howev

In a city as large in London, obviously I don't literally mean zero bakeries. But they're not common.

I second both counts: No bakeries, and the bread is terrible anyway.

I live in London and never heard of "Paul". Are you sure it's actually from the UK? In some countries appearing foreign is part of the branding strategy.

A) Regardless of whether you're right or wrong, that's just a discussion about labels. Call it whatever you want, my point still stands: the transfers are decentralized but the exchanges are centralized. B) Even though my point do

Currently using bitcoin for payments changes nothing. Yes, the transfer of "currency" are decentralized, but to cash it out (to pay for food, rent, etc) you still need to use exchanges which are centralized.

I second this, and I'll add that uMatrix allows you to block JS by default while giving you the versatility to manually whitelist domains.

Can't you put probabilities on that though? What you said is basically "impossible to predict, because one or the other might score more goals, so it's like coin flipping."

Hey, you seem to know a bit about the subject. What is the reason for the name "feedback systems"? (I understand a name is just a name, but the fact that I don't understand why that name was picked suggests to me that I'
