That won't even work within the EU. All sorts of barriers exist between EU states making this extremely difficult if not impossible.

You'll need a salary or other reliable income sources in the EU member state where you're buying, banks there won't offer you a mortgage. Never mind you're earning 5 times the bank employee's salary, just in another member state.

You'll need free and clear ownership of a home in the EU member state where you're earning, or banks there won't offer you a mortgage for your home in another EU member state. You'll only get the loan by mortgaging the property local to the bank, not the actual property you're buying.

Some limited exceptions exist for popular holiday countries, but banks will make you pay for that "privilege".
Amazing. Would love to play with this.

Is OpenAI going to offer this as a closed paywalled service? Once again wondering how the “open” comes into play.
actually there's a case of problems that involve natural evolution, survivorship over time and distributed actors. It can be argued this is also possible if you have the will and the money, but it practically never happens (arguably a minority of vc money maybe?) that people with will and money give it away to a large number of distributed decision makers over a time period to produce a single specific goal.

It might seem like I'm splitting hairs, but actually urban design and working/living environment is exactly hypothesised to be one of those cases. It's why some people argue successful downturn areas and urban environments with walkability and diversity of use/design/ spectacle (so not most US cities), because they have evolved that way from lots of little distributed inconsistent designs, but with individual members tested, repurposed and surviving due to evolution over time.

When a big developer or mega Corp develops or designs, you don't get natural evolution and diversity of design over time, you get mass sameness and waterfall design. It's why you get planned community aesthetics and corporate brand + policy rather than what organically works. The best of them might be bright and shiny (see Apple office/campus), but they still have the overarching ethos of singular design and absolute central/corporate control. Some people like that environment, personally I don't like working in it (don't get me wrong, i'd rather work in a good one rather than a bad one though).

In practice they don't get it perfect. I imagine a lot of people could list problems with the Apple campus in practice, and I'd be good money this isn't going to be the Apple campus...

Yes for example the new Snipping Tool. It is so slow when you click the save button. I just expect instant the save dialog, but there is a small time delay.
It just does not feel good. And yes, all Syytem Menus are a mess and what you want is allways somewhere hidden. No wonder you need a good search on your desktop, because without you wouldn't find anything.
If you click on the message you get a Message Info screen which shows you exactly what the state the message is and the timestamps. It explicitly says "Sent"/"Delivered"/"Read" alongside the ticks and at what time it happened.
“In the United States today, we have more than our share of nattering nabobs of negativism. They have formed their own 4-H club—the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history.”

To play devils advocate. Perl 6 is an example of where not shipping was a major contributor to the decline of the language. Shame, as it looks interesting.
Away luggage raised $100 million at $1.4B valuation. Which is nuts.
This format is very common in long form journalism. New Yorker articles are a good example of this format.

First they have the hook, then they go back and tell the persons entire life story. I think the point is for you to get somewhat emotionally invested in the story, almost like reading a novel or short story instead of just reporting the facts.

Some people find it more enjoyable to read, or may find it easier to retain information in this format as you begin to get invested in the story.

I drive a Leaf and a Volt, both technically electric cars. The sprinting power of an electric is pretty good, I often take modded civics off the line (stoplight) in the Leaf; the point being that electric cars can quickly move to a spot you don't anticipate them. The Volt has a 'pedestrian warning horn' that, when engaged by the driver, gently and rapidly beeps the horn to draw attention to the Volt. Since it is engaged by the driver, however; it does little if the driver isn't paying attention.

As a cyclist, I enjoy having good situational awareness, and electric cars can definitely be surprising when they pass you. Overall, though I enjoy the super quiet ride, I think we should require some warning noise (engine noise seems like a nice option) to alert other to the oncoming car. It makes it safer for the driver because people are less likely to do something unexpected, and safer for the other people because they have better situational awareness.

Perhaps when automated car drivers are the norm, we can move to silent cars; since they will be more vigilant than a person could ever be.
Seems like you could just have it not work until a card has been on system for certain amount of time. That way people couldn't just upload card they stole? Would also make easy to detect those who uploaded stolen cards

She's certainly far less well known than many of her contemporaries, but Noether's theorem is an incredibly important tool in theoretical physics, and has been described as "certainly one of the most important mathematical theorems ever proved in guiding the development of modern physics, possibly on a par with the Pythagorean theorem".

This "Microsoft Missed Mobile" meme should die in a fire. They didn't so much miss it as fail to deliver anything anyone wanted in the space, except for their most extreme fanboys, for about 15 years. Bill Gates famously went absolutely nuts about Symbian and considered them a giant threat to the company. It really didn't help.

On the strength of today Nadella hasn't reined in the Windows group anything like enough. Clearly too much of the same management as presided over Windows 8 remains. They would have been better off producing Windows 7.5 than this. A good start would be to accept that the Live Tiles might have been a nice design project, but have completely failed in the wild. The same goes for the ludicrous swipe on sidebars.

So I'm calling it now: Windows 10 is another turkey. Not as bad as 8, but Windows 7 has got a new lease of life.

This is a shame because the world could do with Windows 10 actually being good, and Azure and the Microsoft services are close to best in class (Office 365 has stopped Google in it's tracks) but today they demonstrated they still have that inability to score from an open goal.
BTW I know you were joking, but one of the reasons they are so safe is that they are the largest, and more importantly heaviest, vehicle on the road.

If everyone drove such heavy vehicles they would lose almost all of their safety advantages.
You've probably already heard of these, but I really wouldn't recommend many of the smaller WYSIWYG editor projects -- they can sometimes be buggy or undeveloped.

You can re-theme TinyMCE if you want a mature, stable, and well-trusted package. The theming system isn't too difficult to learn. http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/tryit/skins.php

I'm no economist, but theres a fundamental problem with currencies I can't understand. From what I've learned a unit of currency can represent 2 things, A, a portion of wealth, or B a promise to create wealth. A dollar today is agnostic. I feel the only reason the system works even remotely is because of its scale. Because its so large, and developing the system is easily capable of absorbing impacts.

I've been toying around with the idea in my head for the past year and a half of how a virtual currency could work. Computers, and the internet provide a unique opportunity to store the representation of what wealth a currency unit is representing, as well as tracking the changes. If the wealth is destroyed in theory it should be easy to know how much to deflate the currency.

The problem though, is if you implement a system such as this what you created is not a currency but a virtual barter system.

So how do you create a virtual currency that has an accurate representation of wealth, and available resources for future wealth that can also be saved, and traded for anything?
I am just wondering how this "article" got 42 points...
That seems obvious, but for a company that interacts with customers online...why?
Are you measuring project success or personal success?

If you are a trust fund baby, pick the one that's the most fun.

If you have to feed your family, pick the one that's most likely to get the income.

Success rates like 0.0001 are essentially made up.

Assuming self-funded, option #2 means a potential earnings loss (compared to employment) of at least ~50K/yer * 4 years = $200K. That means your projected expected earnings would need to be $2 billion.

It's even worse if "0.0001" means "0.0001%".

What's the probability of success in doing A and then doing B, given that doing A likely gives you the experience to help do B?
So.. per this article, shouldn't Mormons and Muslims have stronger immune systems?

I wonder if they do. Or are otherwise are more healthy because of this practice. I would be a bit surprised if this were the case, although I could be wrong.

I do notice Utah is in top 10 US states for life expectancy (no tobacco might be another reason), but it is not in the top 5. So I'm guessing fasting (and/or a religious preference) may not really produce amazing life extending benefits after all.

Edit: Although fasting does have a long history in religious tradition, it is often associated with some not-so-savory movements as well....

Here is a tangible benefit of learning Haskell which people agree on almost universally: learning Haskell will make you a better programmer even in other programming languages.

You will want to code using more elegant, more composeable and succinct, methods. You will want to break things down into small, provably correct units, and then combine them into larger solutions which take advantage of the proven correctness at the lower levels.

You will want to lean heavily on the type system and encode as many of your program constraints in there as possible, leaving your unit tests free to only deal with the logic of your code.

Even if you never write a piece of Haskell code again, you will find over time that more and more ideas from Haskell and similar languages are bleeding through into the languages you use. C++? Closures, optionals. C#? LINQ (monads). Obj-C? On the path to retirement, replaced with Swift. Java? Lambdas, optionals. Clojure? Typed Clojure. Scala? Scalaz. In fact, Swift? Swiftz. JavaScript? People are building entire functional languages (and reactive frameworks) on top of JS.

These things aren't happening by accident. Haskell is a fertile proving ground for the future of programming.
It's mostly fine to talk about MBTI traits because they are for the most part just a different vocabulary for the same concepts as the current psychological standard.

The Big 5 is the current standard, and the four MBTI dimensions correlate to 4 of the Big 5. E/I is Extraversion in Big 5, N/S is Openness to Experience, and the other two are less orthogonal, but generally T/F is Agreeableness and J/P is Conscientiousness. Neuroticism in Big 5 is essentially not measured in MBTI and doesn't correlate well with any of the MBTI traits.
No doubt verizon sales gave apple a bump, but:

This morning, before the opening Bell, Verizon released first quarter earnings results, finally disclosing iPhone 4 activations -- 2.2 million since the device's February 11 launch. [...] During calendar Q1 2011, AT&T and Verizon activations -- 5.8 million -- accounted for 37 percent of the 18.647 million iPhones sold by Apple, that's up from 30 percent a year earlier.

So verizon activations accounted for 2.2M out of 18.6M iphone activations or ~12%. You'd need to dilute that more for ipads and ipods, presumably leaving you with less than 10% of the sales volume. Impressive, but not nearly enough to explain a 50% jump.

75 cent, complete, well balanced breakfast. Cool
Yes, but you'd also need to fake dynamic scoping. Check out Red Daly's implementation of the CL condition system for JavaScript/Parenscript, it's only about 200 lines of code:

Hmm. His total tax rate was about 28% - 27% in state and local, 1% in federal. According to wikipedia, the total tax burden is about 28% of GDP, so he seems right on the money. Additionally, he donated 22% of his income to good causes.

So in total, 49% of his income was spent helping others.

This doesn't even include payroll taxes, which I assume he paid on his Columbia professor income. It also doesn't include taxes paid by the corporations from whom he received investment income. How unfair!
Don't forget, that line of respect goes both ways.
Right; I definitely don't recommend tripping and trying to code :)

It happens more than you would think. Big companies tend to have two classes of DB — the big special DB everyone uses, and then utility DBs (frequently hundreds or thousands) that devs use for smaller scale projects. They're usually pretty happy letting the tangential apps run elsewhere.
Yes I also think this is what I should do to, unfortunately when I first wrote the code I spend most of my time working on I didn't write unit tests at the function level (all my tests are at the module level). I have been meaning to get around correcting this, but the task is now so huge I fear it would take me more than a year to write all the unit tests :(
There is also the diffraction limit[0] which, until materials are developed which have negative refractive indexes for visible light, imposes a maximum on the available resolution. Of course, that's for a single capture source... photosynth + Blade Runner will likely get us a bit further.

I'm assuming that puts an end to my dreams of Wit.ai supporting device-local voice recognition with context-limited vocabularies to drive user interfaces though...
Here's an iterative solution which is shorter and 3 times as fast:

void iterative(int n)
{
int from[2][3] = {{0,1,2},{0,2,1}};
int to[2][3] = {{1,2,0},{2,1,0}};
for(int i=1; i<1<<n; i++)
{
int disk = __builtin_ctz(i);
int count = (i>>(1+disk))%3;
int parity = (disk^n)&1;
move(from[parity][count], to[parity][count]);
}
}
that's honestly awesome to hear.

my experience in the past made me avoid newer Google products because support in the past was non existent. last thing i bought was a nexus one. i for the bad touch screen (registers ghost touches after screen is on for a while) and i could either complain on forums and be ignored or start a return with htc that from the forums histories ended with a device on worse condition and save touch screen bug sent back...
Is this on Mac (desktop notifications?)

I don't think iOS Safari has anything like this
Positive resistance (like a resistor) not negative resistance (like constant power output active power supply)

One way to look at it is the power in cmos gates is all burned up fighting capacitance. You can run a cmos ram in sleep mode for years off a watch battery, but they'll take "serious" power at MHz speeds.

Think of charging a capacitor and watch the voltage across the cap as it charges. As electrons trickle in (thats the current) the voltage slowly rises. It'll take longer to charge that cap up to 5 volts than 3.3 volts. (edited to add, next step in analogy is you could make that cap charge up to 5 volts just as fast as it charged to 3.3. volts by cranking up the current...) So by analogy in your cmos gates the higher the voltage you charge a binary one up to, the larger the current spikes to get to that voltage representing a binary one.

There are resistive losses, but not much. Those are positive resistances, too.

So everything comes up positive resistance aka "higher voltage = higher current" not the other way around.
That's one interpretation, but he did say "running their supercomputers", which implies they're running machines they already own at a loss. It's obvious that you'd run a machine you already own as long as it's profitable to do so.

"Of course sooner or later, due to Moore's law and the way bitcoin works, the operating costs themselves will exceed the value of bitcoins mined. But that is years into the future."

I'm not sure what you're referring to. The block reward schedule (halving every 4 years)? How does Moore's law come into play?
I think MySQL's three copyright owners (with a heavy emphasis on Oracle) gave open core a bad reputation. I like reading stories like this because I think it's important for there to be different business models for open source.
Leaving a job, even a crappy one, is never easy. On top of that you have the psychological "sunken cost" effect plus all the other stockholm-syndrome-like effects that make people stay in hellish environments.
Often the best people to learn something from are not the people with decades of experience, they are the people who have only recently learned the thing themselves. They tend to have a much better feeling for the ideas which newcomers may not understand at all but are so obvious to experts that they wouldn't even think to mention them.

I've been learning about sales over the past six months and I've found that the best teachers are people who used to be engineers (like myself) but now do sales. They understand how my brain works.

Patrick's advice in this article may not have been "new", but I found it fantastically useful.
Despite being a UNIX die-hard, I rather like Windows Phone. I'm on my second handset (Nokia 710, now 720) and will buy another without hesitation.

If someone can suggest a handset that has better navigation with zero cost, has a battery life like the 720 (2 days EASILY), is silky smooth, has an IMAP client that isn't a piece of shit, is available SIM free for under £200, has perfect Exchange integration, never crashes and can withstand being dropped hundreds of times then I'll switch.

Oh and Nokia build quality: these things are like Nokia 3310s - you can throw them across the room, drop them from full head height and they still work flawlessly with no breaks (I've tried it).

Not one single Android, BB, Firefox or iOS device can actually do all that, which is my problem.
I guess so. It's not an original sci-fi conceit as such.

What I love about Ishiguro's book is how it's cast into a nostalgic past of about 1980, in an idyllic Summerhill-style boarding school, and the cloning alt-history scenario never takes precedence over the characters. The setup is just an ominous fateful presence that made me care very much for these young people who can never really even fathom avoiding their destiny, that it wouldn't be necessary for their days to be counted before they were even conceived.
We need to differentiate between banking and banking IT, though. You rarely (apart from project crunches) get those hours in IT.
So your main problem is about the disclaimer and that its called alpha. I provided a source that rates it the best product among all other competitors and the highest score on keep driver engage. And they have the most miles of any other lane assist technology. So I think its safe. I think the alpha is more tongue in cheek and is not a term that means anything really apart from, as you say, a wink and a nod.

For the laymen user, they won't read the disclaimer or understand what Alpha means or even know that is is "alpha". I'm an engineer and I probably won't ever really audit the code. I will do my research like most other people, read online reviews or testimonials like Consumer Reports.

So are you against all lane assist technology? How about auto-braking? Anti lock breaks?

As someone who has used both Flow and Typescript for years, I'd recommend Typescript over Flow. You can use Babel to compile Typescript code just like you can with Flow and have Typescript do its type-checking in CI. Typescript has better editor integration, more type-definitions for libraries, and breaks compatibility much less often than Flow.
The article has a very long explanation of why one developer is not to blame, and why it's entirely the fault of the company for having no testing procedure and no review process.
