Tibetans live in many parts of China outside of Tibet, including southern Gansu and Qinghai (historically known as Amdo, see https://collab.its.virginia.edu/wiki/aboutthl/An%20Overview%...). Northern and western Sichuan province also had large populations of Tibetan people living in remote areas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngawa_Tibetan_and_Qiang_Autono...), sometimes near temples such as Langmusi on the Sichuan/Gansu border.

One trend that was taking place in western China when I last visited was out-migration of Han settlers from Sichuan and other more populous provinces to Xinjiang and other areas which were then dominated by ethnic minorities. This is taking place in Tibet as well:

Han Chinese workers, investors, merchants, teachers and soldiers are pouring into remote Tibet. After the violence that ravaged this region in 2008, China’s aim is to make Tibet wealthier — and more Chinese.

Chinese leaders see development, along with an enhanced security presence, as the key to pacifying the Buddhist region. The central government invested $3 billion in the Tibet Autonomous Region last year, a 31 percent increase over 2008. Tibet’s gross domestic product is growing at a 12 percent annual rate, faster than the robust Chinese national average.

Doesn’t Microsoft research pay top dollar ?
Honestly, I think it was Apple refusing to fully support NFC until 2016 that prevented the market from jumping on contactless payments, at least in the US. They were holding something like a third of the market back from doing it which really made selling adoption to merchants difficult.
I'm curious, what big pluses have you found on Gemini vs. Coinbase?
How is continuing to count without observers present even remotely a good thing in one of the most controversial elections of our time? Why didn't they call the observers back in?

Why dismiss everyone and then tell some people to go back to work with the process half broken? It's bad optics and it's a blatant ethical problem.

We're at an impasse because we're literally seeing the same thing and also seeing two totally different things. It's kinda amazing, and tragic. I'm sure you feel the same.
I worked in a project from 2010 to 2014 which was just HTML and CSS.

It was a University portal for teachers, students and admin staff that handled almost everything in the campus: grades, attendance, class schedule, downloads, renting books in the library, making room reservations, lunch vouchers for staff, a helpdesk system for students and staff, getting a free email account, etc.

The goal was to be simple enough for non-technical students and older teachers. Most things were one click away from the home page, which was just a bunch of colorful icons. You clicked one icon and could see schedule, grades and attendance. The teacher could edit grades and attendance of the whole class in a single screen.

There were no special requirements to drop JS. We just removed JS at some point and never added anything again.

Frankly it worked pretty well. The design was made by a professional rather than using off-the-shelf stuff.

What killed it was a migration to Bootstrap around 2015 after I left. For no reason. The layout ended up looking outdated compared to what we had, and the animations and javascript dropdowns were too heavy for the University's ageing computer fleet. The extra whitespace from default tables made everything too big to fit in a screen. Kind of a pity.

But by this point everyone was moving to phones anyway, so the university spent a couple million in an iOS/Android app.
You may be right, but we're trying for something different here. The HN guidelines are all about not responding in kind. Why? Because it always feels like the other person started it and/or did worse. Rightly or wrongly, everyone feels this way—so if we're all going to respond "in kind", that's a recipe for a downward spiral and eventually for scorched earth. The reason we don't want that is that it's not an interesting outcome for anybody.

This means that, regardless of our views, we all have to work on learning to keep a certain standard even when the other side isn't keeping it. We don't do that because the other side necessarily deserves that from us. We do it for ourselves, and to help take care of the community we all belong to.
As trades are frozen, there is now a 10+% price difference between the last trade and the current market. It's going to be interesting when it comes back online.
Native English speakers tend to just say "salaryman" when speaking to other English speakers. Adopting a faux Japanese accent, particularly in print, is extremely cringeworthy.
I’ve never read Ulysses and am interested and yet ... clicking a dozen links in this annotated version seems to add mainly trivia to the equation.

Admitting that I may be self-consciously afraid that I lack the education to “get” Ulysses, I also wonder whether works of art should be considered greater on account of the complexity of their allusions.

Not taking anything away from Joyce’s talent. Dubliners is amazing without requiring a source codex.
Unless you are taking these words absolutely literally, the OP is right. Economizing + achieving the marks set by CPSU at all cost was prioritized over everything, including safety even in armed forces. Source: born, and raised there.
Bucharest is great nowadays if you would like to relocate to Europe. Cheap living, salaries on par with Western Europe, access to good education if you want to pursue interests further, good private healtchare, transporation.

Some of the companies that are currently recruiting in the area: Amazon (FirecrackerVM is built there, many Rust jobs), Bitdefender (great cybersec defense company), UiPath (the European unicorn), Oracle, HP, Accenture, IONOS, Luxoft, Ericsson, Adobe, IBM Romania, SAP, Endava, Bolt, Dell Technologies, Fitbit, Deloitte, Thales, Cegeka, Huawei etc.

If game development is your thing: Electronics Arts, Ubisoft and many other indie game studios

If banks and telco is your thing: Orange, Vodafone, DIGI, T-Mobile, ING, BCR, BRD, Deutsche Bank, Transylvanian Bank, etc.
As someone who sympathizes with your comment ("tech stack complex and fugly") and has made moves both ways in terms of salary (high to low for QoL -25%, then low to high again +50%), start with your requirements.

OP did a great job of saying "Here's what I need." Until that's staked out, you don't know what's too little, enough, and too much.

But generally, minimizing and controlling costs (critically, through city choice) affords you flexibility. High costs = must work high paying job. Low costs = choice between working less, taking a job you enjoy more that pays less, or working more & saving.

I'll probably switch back to a lower paying job in the next 6 months or year, because I'd rather work on something I love, and because I'll have the financial flexibility to do so.

I don't see how taxing foreign income would work. A corporation would just spinoff foreign business to avoid it. If you tax those it'd just reincorporate offshore. The USA simply can't tax the foreign income of a foreign company.

Get to the nearest community college, talk to a career counselor and get started on a CS degree. Don't try to do it alone. If you were inclined to do it alone you would have done it already. Be very focused on getting your degree. Also, remember that your goal is to learn. Many students get the mistaken idea that you go to school to get a diploma. No, you are there to learn. Make sure you learn as much as possible so you can get a job after you graduate. Employers are unlikely to care about your diploma but they will be very interested in what you know so they will test you before they offer you a job. Good luck.

You are assuming the high end of conversion at 5%. And you are also assuming those 25,000,000 accounts are all held by different people, when in reality there are people who hold multiple accounts under different email addresses for different purposes or to avoid upgrading. It's not so easy to switch from one acct to another, probably a good thing on the part of DropBox, but people still do it.

Regardless, it's a great service and if it isn't already a great business I'm sure it will be.
If you happen to have an original wrt54gl of version 1.0 or 1.1 you can reasonably use those as well since they ran Linux

The ones that came after switched to vxWorks and really slimmed down on the ram.

Then, then introduced the wrt54GL (the L meaning Linux)

For a quick and concrete example of this, do a search on Amazon for "dent puller". You'll get pages and pages of obviously identical suction cups and dent removal kits with obviously randomly generated brand names like "LTGABA" and "QGMZZMF".
What fooandbarify said. Especially: a therapist holds you accountable. He or she will try to keep you focused on things that are unpleasant to keep working on, which is necessary in order to overcome a problematic behavioral pattern, whereas without supervision you might waste a lot of time trying to find shortcuts or esoteric solutions that make you feel good about yourself for some time but ultimately fail to solve your problems (productivity pr0n, anyone?).

And keep in mind that a therapist is also -- to some extent -- an analyst. So he or she might expose things you wouldn't have been able to figure out yourself, either because you're not professionally trained, or because you're part of the problem.

And sorry, there's no such thing as therapy by proxy. It's a very interactive thing.
Here's my thinking on how this will play out.

There's a finite number of people in the world. Each of them hears about Bitcoin for the first time exactly once. At this point one of two things can happen -- either they say "What? That sounds stupid" or they say "Well, that sounds pretty stupid, but there's a chance it might take off, so I might as well be an early adopter and acquire a bunch of 'em".

People in Group A can be safely ignored for now. People in Group B serve to drive up the price of Bitcoins, since they say "Shit, if I spend a few tens of dollars now then I could be a zillionaire in the future!" The Group B people also now become Bitcoin evangelists, assiduously spamming and astroturfing all over the damn place in an effort to convert more people to the Bitcoin fold.

The trouble is, eventually you run out of new people. People who made the initial decision to join Group A are very unlikely to have second thoughts and jump on the speculative bandwagon six months later, since they'll later on say "Well shit, I'm not gonna pay a hundred bucks for what I could have got for five bucks a few months ago". And of course the penetration of the Bitcoin meme outside tech geek circles is likely to be incredibly low, since most people won't even understand what the hell it's supposed to be about, let alone how to use it.

Anyway, like every speculative bubble in history it'll burst when you run out of bigger suckers. This will probably happen fairly soon due to the the limited size of the target market, but not before everybody gets sick and tired of hearing about it. End result: a lot of wasted CPU cycles and a reasonably small transfer of wealth from the gullible to the canny. Life goes on.

I would love to do more remote work, but then I hear horror stories about people having problems not being around people. Feelings of isolation set in after a couple of months, and people end up going to a gig where they are around people. To those doing remote work, is this common?
1) Your screenshots need to show what you actually do in the game for picpuzz. You have a screenshot of your main menu and some pictures. No screenshots of the puzzle being played.

2) Why on earth does a game like this need to modify SD Card storage? Be VERY cautious of the requirements your app needs. Remember, your user is going to wonder right away why a simple puzzle game that hasn't been downloaded very much wants to access their SD Card.

If it's to grab pictures from your phone - have a screenshot that says "Use photos in this game right from your SD Card". That explains the permission, and shows a feature all in one.

3) You have a big icon that looks like a cat cut into puzzle pieces that is awesome, but for the smart cat app, you have a creepy looking distorted cat that makes your app look like app-spam. I wouldn't even look at the details of the app after seeing that icon normally.

4) The smart cat game is a derivative of a game that's been around for a long time. It is a really fun game by its nature, so are you coming up in the right searches?

5) I have learned from experience that a key to getting found is coming up in searches people actually use.

6) Do the Titles of your games say enough about what they are?

7) Are you writing long descriptions for your apps so they come up in a ton of different searches? You get 4000 characters now, you can really go to town.

8) Do your games give a really nice "how-to" tutorial before the first time the user plays so there's no question about what they have to do?

It's not just about updating. It's about improving.
For people with kids who'd otherwise be playing their own games (not an uncommon case, from what I've seen) this would actually increase human interactions, because these are collaborative games.
Probably no.

The idea behind a deal like this is you get money now based on the valuation, and then when you're in a position to sell, you pay back on the valuation then. Which money you presumably have because you sell the actual stock you receive.

However there are a lot of ways this can go south. For a realistic instance Chartboost goes public, he gets hit with AMT taxes, and then finds out that as an insider he's not allowed to actually sell the stock for 6 months. He now has to cover both the current valuation and a tax burden he never knew about, but has no actual money.

I could multiply scenarios here. But the lesson is don't do this unless you have good legal advice. And the Wall St guy just wants to do the deal, carefully protecting the person providing shares is not a priority.
Actually, this is correct. I know because I've built two companies that match your description and it did indeed work that way.

The problem is that a company built like that will eventually hit an equilibrium point wherein the natural, organic market plateaus. This may not be a problem, but if for any reason you want to grow beyond that you will need to cross over to the dark side and start dealing with salespeople.
It does strike me as odd that some Ada-isms are present like 'low and 'high, applicable to types and objects, but the ever useful 'range didn't get included. It is a testament to Nim's flexibility that it can be added, effectively as a one-liner. This really should be in the standard library.
(a) TALK TO A LAWYER FIRST

(b) It seems to me that the customer in question is in a much better position to file a complaint than you are. I can't see anything wrong (but see (a)) with writing them a detailed letter explaining the implications of what you found during the transfer. They will probably not want to act on it, but if they do, they can't be accused of ulterior motives.

(c) You could try the tack of advertising very loudly that you're PCI compliant, without ever mentioning your competitor. (Is there third-party PCI certification? If so, you might want to get it.) Yes, everyone who handles credit cards is supposed to be PCI compliant, but customers don't necessarily know that; you could perhaps make it a differentiator. If your competitor is so unscrupulous as to advertise themselves as compliant when they're not, possibly (see (a)) you could then report them yourself.
I'd be interested in hearing from anybody who's attended That Conference (https://www.thatconference.com) -- which bills itself as a summer camp for geeks. That it occurs at a giant indoor waterpark makes me wonder whether the actual conference is beneficial, or if it's just an excuse to get your company to bankroll part of your vacation. If you've attended and your company did foot the bill, was it a hard sell?
> better yet - cp could determine it's copying from a tmpfs filesystem and do that automatically. but we're not going to patch binutils for that, when a simple, 30 line utility does the trick.

Why not? I think it's a perfect reasonable use case and should be made into a patch.

Why not give something back?

Principal Software Engineer and Technical Product Owner, last working at NortonLifeLock (Symantec) till Dec 2020. Have more than 12 years of experience. Took a break to spend time with family and now looking to get back into full time employment. During my break, I started and have been doing full time stock trading (equity and derivatives) since April 2021, while also working on my side project on Android, that I’ll be releasing shortly, as well as continuing my masters study (OMSCS, Georgia Tech) that I began in August of 2020.

I’ve mainly been developing and leading projects on Android and have also learnt from scratch and delivered an iOS project in production while working with NortonLifeLock. I tend to do multiple projects in parallel, including building new PoCs, and am open to and have learned and worked on different facets of various projects, in tandem with my primary Android dev role (backend, frontend, mobile, CI/CD, UX design, Scrum Master, Product Owner, etc.), basically, whatever it takes to deliver the project.

I've worked on large and small teams, and a one-man team, working end-to-end on and delivering projects. I am looking for principal / staff roles, primarily as an individual contributor.
Well it's like this. There are plenty of apps out there being developed for android only. The thing is nearly every one of those android only apps are well... rather crappy in design and performance. Apple developers put their bets on paid apps since they have to go to hell and back just to get them approved.

What you say is for the most part true but there are a lot of developers out there on the ios platform too who have put that same effort into making apps but they choose to make them free. Based on this I just thought to myself what if the moderation concept was applied to the app market.

It's about motivation mostly and an effort to try and improve the quality of the apps out there. Google needs to address this issue at some point. Apple addressed the issue of fart apps didn't they. Higher quality apps being developed as Android only means a lot to the folks at Google. It's excellent pr and great for marketing the platform. Even with the featured app program there currently I don't see improvement. I see apps ported from iPhone hitting the top quite often actually.

So yea. I got what you said. But if Google wants to improve the app quality they need to be proactive about it. Very! The question was how to be proactive without killing the openess

Sidenote- as far as paid apps go Google devs anyway have a different mindset which focuses on the freemium business model. So they wouldnt mind working to get into the 'Google approved' list since that would just increase chances of people purchasing their full software

Thanks for commenting btw. Really had to think on that
Ok, the specific of my analogy isn't a perfect match, but you got the gist of it. And I agree, there possibility exists of material in this leak that reveals genuine problems. In fact, I'm nearly certain that it exists. And exposing that type of stuff is important.

But the problem is that when you release information like this, the media/public is bound to wind up getting upset over the wrong things. Not only does it divert attention from the real problems that may be revealed, but also harms the ability of the United States (and perhaps other nations) from using its full range of diplomatic options (among other things).

My friend is a paramedic and tells me all sorts of stories about how they pass time/deal with some of the crap they see. That involves some very very twisted humour. If you released transcripts of every paramedic conversation indiscriminately, then you'd be bound to reveal some evidence of real wrong doing (some patient being transferred improperly causing injury and then covering it up), but I feel (based on how our news is really just a spectacle show) that the majority of the public's anger/outrage would be aimed at the 'indecent and inconsiderate' comments uttered by the paramedics.

Once again, not a perfect analogy, but I think it captures the spirit of the problem.
I add an awesome bar and I have more stuff in the pipeline.

In a corporate setting you're totally right that secrets may be necessary (not always, depending on your business model), but even then we're talking about witholding information and not deception. In fact you can be totally up front about the fact that you have trade secrets, and while some people may criticize that, I won't be amoung them.
Regarding specifically the male-female gap, isn't the obvious explanation simply that these jobs select for extremely high IQ? (Men have higher IQ variance, so the further out on the bell curve you go in either direction - seeking geniuses OR seeking morons - you'd naturally expect to get mostly men.)
You would still be able to enable it if you think it's relevant and trust the website. But when I end up on a news website reading an article, I see no justification for having all these scripts from all these different untrusted sources executing in the background.

When I started to get some pain in my wrists, I noticed it most when I was using photoshop and clicking a great deal. I tore apart an old USB mouse and wired a pair of foot switches in so I could click with my feet as well. It helped quite a bit. Now I rather prefer it, especially the right click action.
