Galicia is a beautiful place and you'll have very pretty beaches but realize that you'll enjoy the coldest sea water in Spain in summer and the sea in winter is really wild.

It is very rainy and you can feel isolated and depressive, specially in winter and fall. Climate is better that in London or Berlin for sure; rural internet... well this a different question.

Some old people can be also very troublesome. Fire forests from cattle owners are a real treat (100 declared forest fires between the last saturday and monday only in Galicia).

You can have also problems with Hunters and poachers. It is forbidden for example to shoot towards a path or road or < 500m of a house, but a lot of hunters simply ignore the law all the time. People has been shooted whereas doing footing or over a bike, other have collected lost projectils falling in their garden or crashing against the windows, and three or four people are killed mistakenly by hunters each year. Is not common but can occur. If is hunting day better escape to the city or keep at the house.

Poison can be another big problem locally (dog owners be very afraid) so if you end with the wrong neighbour this can be a hell.

But this can be a heaven also. Food is fan-tas-tic, varied and cheap (specially if you do not have cultural problems with sea food). Galizian language can be confusing for non natives but is not a problem. Most people are really sweet by nature and will be glad to talk you in spanish anytime (please take in mind that this is not always guaranteed in isolated villages of the radicalized Catalunya or in the Basque Country at this moment).

Mosquitos are not a big problem normally, neither cockroaches. Wild boars and roe deers will be a problem for your garden and fruit trees (but the first is soo delicious and unavoidable, and the second is so preetty and easy to fix...). Badgers, Wolves and brown bears either avoid people at all cost unless harassed, or just ignore you and keep themselves at a safe distance. Is very uncommon (but supercool) to see them. The first is very common, the other two very rare.

When you buy a home, your agent is paid a 2.5% commission to represent you in the transaction. As a real estate brokerage, Open Listings replaces your agent and facilitates the transaction on your behalf. At close, we refund you half of the commission we receive, usually crediting the refund against your closing costs.

Here's a more detailed explanation plus a fun slider:

Well I don't think he's saying hard to "live". We're talking raising a family, buying a house, etc. And I'm assuming he's saying support both the spouse and the kids. So yeah, in that case, things will be a bit tighter. It's not impossible, but it's not easy street.

Sorry, when you said humanity, it read as being out of touch with all the trials and tribulations of man kind. My mistake if that's not what you meant.
This is almost correct - I think if you work all the time to keep it simple, the days of badness are fewer

How did that end up working out for you? I've been thinking about such a pivot, but am concerned that my lack of domain knowledge would make it not worthwhile to pursue. Do you have any pros and cons to share?

Thanks for the reply. Can you give us a sense for the costs of tests by you and 3rd party labs ?

I'm trying to understand what the barriers are.
>Donald Trump is being taken seriously as a presidential candidate

Not really. Those numbers are for the Republican Primary and you better believe they are being pushed up by Democrats. Democrats would love nothing better than for the Republicans to march out Trump as their candidate.
> Yup, it's the part of UK school that happens post compulsory education (so after 16yrs old).

*English & Welsh school. It's also used at the top of many UK private schools — both prep schools (at around 13, where historically it was the sixth "grade") and the public schools (which are, just to confuse everyone, not state schools).

In Scotland education beyond sixteen continues on at secondary school, with no separate institution involved. (Though many in England and Wales have sixth-form colleges attached.)
The new leaving age laws came into force this summer, you can't go out and work pre-18 unless you're spending the equivalent of one day per week in training or education.
They also don't want to tear down every 2 floor building to build a 3-4 floor one... The only way to increase population density in an established city is to build much taller buildings compared to what is already in place. SF has height limits which prevent this, so you can't build really tall buildings. So density shifts will always be relatively small unless you start tearing down huge swaths of buildings to build slightly larger ones, and with parking requirements on new buildings still won't have much more density.

Lower rent will come with increased capacity. Part of the reason rents are so high tis that california does not add capacity very quickly because the permitting process is very burdensome and californians are the original NIMBYs-- yes even about housing developments.

Thus there are rows and rows of 3-4 story buildings instead of high rises full of apartments.
Yeah, I was operating under the assumption that it was eventually consistent and just found it curious that it converged way faster than I expected. (until I read the explanation)
> Gentrification ... can make you money if you own property

You are incorrect to assume that poor people own property in gentrifying neighborhoods. The dynamic is usually that low income renters get priced out of a neighborhood by high income renters.
That could be right too.
I'd imagine this doesn't sound crazy to many of those Bay Area folks. Making a large salary isn't nearly as much fun when you throw it all into rent/mortgage payments.

I've heard that Austin TX is a good city for CS people - high paying jobs, low(ish) cost of living.
Doesn't this assume you'll continue working with the same company for a long time? If you work at a company in SF now but 4 years later want to work at place down on MV, or vice-versa, not sure how this helps.
> If remote workers were so amazing, and had been so amazing in practice, companies would use them more.

This kind of thinking forgets the fact that the standard office arrangement has been the same since long before modern technologies became the standard way of communicating and planning.

We're dealing with a huge legacy of "how it's been done" that is slow to change, despite the fact that I talk to my colleagues by chat and e-mail the vast majority of the time and reliable voice, video, and collab techs are now widely available.

Add to this the fact that the remote office has been shown to work for companies that start out that way and work towards that ethos (e.g. Basecamp, others).
I can understand that. I find it's easier to use igraph in R, especially if you're going to be doing visualizations. igraph is alright in IPython notebooks, but getting the visualizations to work is a bit of a pain, whereas it works out of the box in RStudio.

I don't even really like igraph for visualizations, though. It's great for graph algorithms like community detection, but for visualizations I'll usually jump into something interactive like visNetwork. Check out this slide, for example: http://nicolewhite.github.io/neo4j-presentations/RNeo4j/Visu...
Canada - I've had only good interactions with the police, although we do have some issues (RCMP has/had some sexual harassment issues, there was a man killed by tasers a couple years back that was covered up/lied about, etc.). I wouldn't hesitate to call the police if I was in danger, and generally wouldn't worry about being treated poorly.

I am white though; I suspect if I was Native I might have different opinions on the police.

satellite radio is awesome. the best thing about it is it's the same channels and programs everywhere you go in the country.
The difference is that they have to do this or cease to be.

Right, I understand the principal. Though I'd argue that it's not that black and white - the market is not a natural force like the waves in an ocean. Companies seek initial investment for growth, which can boil down to how strong your PowerPoint or people skills are, not on the strength of your ability to produce a decent product or service. The strength of your shares are often tied to public perception and professional market manipulation. The public's perception of the product itself often has little to do with reality but how well you've manipulated them into believing you add value to a (sometimes non-existent) void. And when you buy a product you can't see the organizational bickering between product/service divisions and executives - you don't see the sometimes horrendous failure rate because QA has hopefully pulled them off the line before they reach stores.

Businesses don't need to open the kimono for all to see how, despite being somewhat dysfunctional and disorganized, they can still churn out a product. Businesses are made up of people, like governments, and so there are many parallels.

whereas the power a consumer has with his dollar is generally a lot stronger

In principal, yes. Though when we examine consumer choice let's look at, say, the mobile industry - despite starting with many different platforms and manufacturers, the market has naturally gravitated towards two primary platform choices and two primary hardware manufacturers. Humans are quite good at condensing complex options into binary choices.
Anyone else chuckle a little about seeing a Netflix technology video on youtube?
This was the most surprising thing to me. Apart from the InfoWorld "Hot API of the week" columnist (who's writing for the CEO who mostly only cares about looking informed), I had a hard time imagining anyone would pay to know who uses what library. Cool that I'm wrong.
How well does that surface withstand wear? If the property is dependent on "micro- and nanoscale structures" as claimed in the article, then surely a few months of use will destroy those structures.
Why not add the smarts to a lead/acid battery? Probably only a few bucks worth of electronics.

"Deep learning" is used a couple ways. In the loose sense employed by some journalists, deep learning is probably synonymous with both machine learning and AI. It's at the cutting edge of the current hype.

In the strict sense, deep learning refers to neural networks with more than one hidden layer. The depth of neural networks is equal to the longest path between input and output nodes. "Shallow" networks like a simple autoencoder might have two layers. They're not considered deep or part of deep learning. But if you stack them together, you have a deep net; e.g. many restricted Boltzmann machines form a deep-belief network. [1]

As @paulsutter mentioned, one aspect of having several hidden, or intermediate, layers in a neural network is that you can combine relatively simple, granular features (like individual pixels or words) into more complex combinations. Neural networks recombine simple features automatically, and then learn which groupings should be lent significance as signals through the backpropagation of error.

They're attracting all this hype because they actually do something amazing, albeit through brute force computation. Many in AI scoff at neural networks because they've been around a long time and have no particular elegance, but we're now in a historical moment where we have the hardware to make them work, and they're breaking records in almost every data type; e.g. images, sound, time series, etc.

So no, it's not a rebranding, it's a thing. We can now replicate the human faculty of perception with machines in many domains, and that's going to make the future quite weird.

I think at this point those who locate in the bay area see getting VC money as success, and whatever comes after as resume padding. Anyone who is ready to build a real fast growing business is not going to go to the one place in the world where the costs are astronomical (except maybe for a small titular HQ with the CEO while the rest of the company is in cleveland or something). Everything is super expensive, and to be honest, there's a lot of investor money, but most of it I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole-- the cost of that money is astronomical as well.
Two earlier papers on the topic:

"I have $200k equity in my current home (NC) and if I move to the San Jose area that would still require me to put in another $100-200k of savings to "compete" for a mediocre 1500-2000sqft place near work."

Do you mean you'd need that $400k down to "compete"?

You would have no problem buying a $1MM home on credit with your 20% down. That would buy you a decent place in San Jose. You could also buy the same home with 10% down, though that will require PMI on your mortgage. In either case, I don't believe you would have too much trouble from cash buyers. Yes, cash means a shorter escrow period. But if you offer more than the cash buyer, most sellers will take the higher bid. Your offer would waive your loan contingency (by getting your financing locked-down in a commitment letter).
I'm often using quite unconventional setups and am often unsure whether it's just something I've done.

If telecommuting was giving a significant advantage to companies, at least some companies would have implemented it successfully. Apart from specific cases, that's not happening. The author's hypothesis is that telecommuting is at least as efficient, consumes less resources and makes people happy. A bold claim, but many have written that before. In light of the evidence, nobody's really doing it, what's the most likely, that the author is right and every company with brick and mortar offices is wrong, or the reverse?

Telecommuting is to work what VR sex is to sex. Will some people be content with VR sex only? I'm sure some people will. A majority of them? Not so sure.
Nope! It could be the exact same internals. We'd just need to repackage it. The voltage on the capacitors is determined by the systems charging them. As long as its below the absolute rating for the caps, it will work. I believe most motorcycles actually operate at the same voltages as cars, though I could be mistaken.
That's interesting. Most people who I've seen share their opinion on this matter prefer the newer Lenovo keyboards to that of MBPs.

Laptopmag also put out a fairly detailed comparison of Lenovo's "old" and "new" keyboards, with the newer island chiclet keys coming out on top, including on measures of audible and tactile feedback :

Don't get me wrong - I am not betting against property (real-estate) investment. Always a good bet for the long term in great cities.

What I am saying is why bust a gut as a sub $150k coder to see all your money burned up as rent in SF when you can go to a.n.other city have a better quality of life, more expendable income, the chance to buy instead of rent, etc.
Not that I'm doubting you, but can I have the source for your claim? I want to present it to my chemophobic friends.
> Boise, ID

I live in Boise, good luck. Almost everyone here is actively hostile to public transportation and high-density construction - so while there's plenty of area to expand to the South towards Mountain Home it's almost entirely overpriced subdivisions, with no transit options other than your own vehicle - and don't get me started on the mess that we already have with I-84.

The lack of high-density construction isn't really that big of an issue since we have plenty of space, but the lack of public transit funding is going to bite us and is largely responsible for why you mostly see expansion towards the West along I-84, which is causing us to start looking at expanding it yet again, why on Earth we haven't invested in commuter rail at this point is beyond me.

Yeap! I was inspired by how easy it was to make payments in the U.S.

Apps like Venmo and Square exist due to existing infrastructures that allows innovation to happen, e.g.: There's ACH APIs in the USA, and SEPA APIs in the case of Europe.

For Southeast Asia, there's no APIs like that. We have to build those APIs ourselves from scratch. And the goal is to provide the region with a common way to collect and make payments easily.

Hope I've managed to answer your question :)
There's a definite benefit to colocation for software teams. When someone is poring over gigabytes of logs and stack traces there's no substitute for someone more experienced looking over their shoulder, maybe grabbing their keyboard and typing in a few commands of their own then handing the keyboard back and making a few suggestions.

There also is a definite benefit to letting less-skilled developers interrupt the more skilled. Skilled developers without interruption kind of become data silos. They're extremely productive, but they could have a multiplicative effect on others' productivity that is wasted.

Even if most interruptions are useless, it's still worth it for the times when a senior dev stops a junior dev from wasting a week puzzling over a stack trace or implementing something useless.
The conversation on this is incredibly hypocritical. The area where there are "rows and rows" of 3-4 story buildings is the 2/3 of SF where tech people don't want to live. Places with names like "the Sunset" and "Ingleside", that consist mostly of single-family construction.

No, when tech people talk about "building up", they're almost universally talking about replacing tenement buildings in the Mission with high rises. This has the unique property of displacing extremely poor people, and allowing tech people to live in luxury buildings in a small neighborhood that has recently become trendy, but was historically desirable only to poor people.

The problem isn't permitting or NIMBYs...it's that a relatively entitled population of recent arrivals have lost their fucking minds, and expect to be able to cram into the same 20 blocks of SF and not have to pay for the privilege. When they don't get what they want, they blame the laws for not allowing them to get what they want.

The "real" solution is for the city to "incentivize" tech companies to locate elsewhere, but given that our local politicians have fallen in love with this bubble, I don't see that happening.

I've heard from multiple agents about how redfin agents don't know what they are doing. Of course, that is just one side of the story, but I'm curious about how receptive listing agents are towards working with you guys in hot markets like SF Bay area. Anything you can share?
Your claims are the same that were made regarding "real-world consumers" at the dawn of the Internet. It takes time to build up a network effect and improve ease-of-use for revolutionary new systems.

I spent quite a few hours developing aforementioned blog post and the presentation to my alumni Computer Science department - specifically to save me the time of typing it all out to every individual who wants to learn about it.
Also interesting for Americans is that in the six-form you will start to specialise down to three or four subjects, one of which you may study at university.

People say UK degrees are short, and PhDs here are even shorter, but in part that's because at 16 I was already specialising in computer science, maths and physics.
That's been said of a lot of things.

We probably wouldnt even have the internet if people always believed pronouncements that seem to be irrefutable, but in truth rest on narrow assumptions or narrow thinking.
