Actually, Tim May has some understanding of economics. The notion that heroin is an ideal medium for arbitrage because its price is a "pure function of supply and demand (as opposed to cost of material)" betrays a deep and abiding ignorance. All commodities that exist outside of government regulation have prices that are functions of supply and demand. Heroin is no different than any other commodity in that regard. The notion that heroin has no cost of material is especially absurd. Do you think they can just conjure it up out of thin air? Nonsense. Heroin, like any other commodity, has significant costs to create, and those are what controls its supply. One difference with heroin is that it has very high costs to transport and distribute, relative to its creation costs. That actually makes it worse for arbitrage. Arbitrage depends on making a profit due to regional price differences. But in the case of heroin, price differentials are often reasonable and reflect the local costs of distributing and selling it. Heroin may be cheap in one place and expensive in another, but that does not signal a profitable arbitrage opportunity; rather, it merely reflects the differing costs of doing business in those regions. If the yuan is actually cheaper than it should be because of being pegged to the dollar, there's a much easier way to take advantage of the arbitrage opportunity: simply buy goods in China and sell them in America. And guess what, thousands of Chinese export companies do just that, making money off the economic downhill slide that China has erected spanning the Pacific. This effectively forces Chinese workers to be paid less than they are worth, decreasing their savings and acting as an economic stimulus for China as a whole.

What Will We Do With Innocent People's DNA?

[1]NevDull writes "As creepy as it may be to deal with identity theft from corporate databases, [2]imagine being swabbed for DNA samples as a suspect in a crime, being vindicated by that sample, and never even being told why you were suspected. This article discusses a man, Roger Valadez, who's fighting both to have his DNA sample and its profile purged from government records, and to find out why he and his DNA were searched in the BTK case. DA Nola Foulston said, 'I think some people are overwrought about their concerns.' -- convenient as she wasn't the one probed without explanation. The article then mentions that 'In California, police will be able in 2008 to take DNA samples from anyone arrested for a felony, whether the person is convicted or not, under a law approved by voters in November.' What will be the disposition of the DNA of the innocent?"

Great Firewall of China Doesn't Stop Zombies
by Bill Stewart 22 Mar '05

22 Mar '05

http://www.theregister.com/2005/03/21/botnet_charts/ The Register took a look at the recent Honeynet Project's listing of where zombies live - apparently the UK slightly exceeds the US in total zombie count, each with about 25% of the zombies that were detected. But third place was interesting - it's China, with 7.6% of the zombies. Everybody makes such a big deal about China's Great Firewall, which is supposed to censor people looking for Ungood Thoughts, but apparently it not only doesn't stop spammers, it doesn't stop zombies either. And Korea's a disappointing 9th place in the list; you'd think that one of the most heavily-wired countries in the world could do better than that.
