Depends which Western European country you mean. In lots of countries you can rent a "whole house" (whole appartment I mean) quite easily in the city if you're employeed and not on minimum wage.

In Berlin, for example, rents have been notoriously low (something like €500 would get you an appartment: http://berlin.en.craigslist.de/search/apa ), but also in many other cities.

Also in some cities the "city center" or parts of it has low rent because of many immigrants or things like that, and more wealthy people live for other parts/suburbs.

I should of clarified I was referring to the homepage showing that.
Yeah, here it's still possible to find 1-bedroom apartments inside the city for ~400€/m (our average salary is ~900€/m, by the way). Rarely in the centre, but still inside the city proper. If you're willing to commute 20km or more, you can get something decent for <300€/m.

Of course, this is just the rent, not utilities & etc.

EDIT: Yes, by "house" I mean "apartment".

How do helicopters handle in high winds? I'd assume most rescue situations, such as rough seas and high-altitude, mountainous areas would also be very windy. I'm curious how the helicopter would hand landing on a 20 degree incline if the wind were to suddenly blow it a different direction before touchdown.
Hardly. "Keys to the kingdom" seems to imply that access to the key opens up a large number of other doors. That's the case for email (via password recovery) and password manager (via its function), but not for much else. E.g. while access to online banking is a catastrophe in its own right, it doesn't unlock many other accounts.
A "house" in many (older) european cities is often just a small slice of the buildings on a road - more or less the size of a flat, just a vertical slice instead of horizontal. So renting a full house is not exactly uncommon and does not necessarily indicate a large and spacious accomodation.

I think its a particularly American affliction: to know ones roommates in advance. Perhaps its an artifact from the formative years, where the shock of living with a stranger is learned for the first time, and subsequent entrance into society is predicated with a desire to not have "a roommate experience which sucked".

In Europe, the roommate experience just sucks - from the get-go - because nobody wants a roommate, really. Americans, unwilling to fess up to this fact, seem to have created machinations designed to facilitate this ease.

First of all, I'm expressing an opinion, which you are free to disagree with, and, in fact, your disagreement is just an opinion as well, which you are fully entitled to and I thank you for sharing.

That said, the evidence is that this case sets the following precedents:
- Failing a project could lead to substantial liability, even exceeding the amounts collected. (Previously, failing a project led to reputation damage and likely inability to raise more funding.)
- Backer funding is being treated as pre-paid goods/services and is essentially a loan. (I'd call it interest-free loan, but there are fees involved in payment processing and refunds.)
- Rewards are considered merchandise or goods sold. (Does this open the door for sales/use taxing? There could be other implications here, such as need to register to collect/remit these taxes.)

Crowdfunding started as a way to give ideas and less formal ventures a shot at becoming something. The amount of money now involved is definitely sizable and the fraudster comment you made speaks to that. Unfortunately, the formalization and the precedents here will likely change the spirit of crowdfunding very rapidly and make it a lot less appealing to legitimate projects. Fraudsters will likely find ways to skirt these precedents by establishing corp structures or what not that will shield their personal assets from much of the civil liability.

To me, this is a sad day.

The 15 minute charge time is based on an 800V charger. There's nothing magical here. Tesla (and the Nissan Leaf, and some other eVs) use a 400V charger which charges to 80% in 30 minutes. If you double the voltage, then cutting the charge time in half is what you'd expect.

The thing that isn't mentioned here is that setting up a 400V charging station is already expensive. Tesla has taken up this expense themselves creating its SuperCharger (400V) network that all Tesla owners can use for free. I don't see anything in this article indicating Porsche is planning to do the same with 800V chargers. If they are that would be amazing, but I doubt it. Setting up 800V charging stations would be even more expensive than the 400V ones Tesla has invested heavily in.

Honestly, the best thing VAG (VW Audi Group, who own Porsche) and all other EV manufacturers could do is put a Tesla SuperCharger port in their vehicles to allow for using the SuperCharger network.
> dislike for Californians (Oregon & Montana)

Have you considered that the dislike for Californians is due to them turning any state in which a great number of them settle…into California?

It's a perfectly natural process: whenever we leave a place, even if we dislike some aspects of it, it's still our home. We're liable to find our new homes just fine, oh 'except for just a few things.' Add up enough ex-pats, and razor-fine margins on many issues, and suddenly a relatively small number of people can have a relatively high impact on a state, while the natives residents look about themselves and wonder what the hell happened to their own homes.

Those natives then move, and the process repeats itself…

"whale-harming"
Erlang basically has BEAM which is similar to Cpython or YARV in that it is both the official implementation and de-facto standard because the actual standards are either non-existent or don't cover a lot of edge cases (making an unofficial spec).

That said, I believe that if an official third-party specification for Erlang were ever created, it would likely have to specify a similar GC and threading system because this is necessary to allow the normal Erlang programming style.
Go get is an astonishing demonstration of failing to learn the lessons of the past; it's bad enough watching Python, Ruby, Node, Java et. al. painfully re-invent the wheel of dependency management, but at least they seem to have gained the notion of versioning.

Go seems to have taken a look at the carnage of decades of dependency hell and decided "if we make no effort to provide a system then people will be forced to produce sane stable APIs".

I've picked the short straw of trying to reproducibly build and package Go based projects for internal projects. The combination of go get and the Go ecosystem's cultural lack of versioning and stability are giving me a deep dislike of the language.

First you have to play git-bisect on the dependencies (after you've hunted them down because of repo renames) in order to find the most recent one it builds against (and who knows if that was the one written against!) Then you have to futz around to add in either some custom or third party vendoring script, and then you have to rinse and repeat for second order dependencies.

For example, take the author's own first linked project. Following the build instructions:

~ $ mkdir ~/syslog-gollector
~ $ cd ~/syslog-gollector
~/syslog-gollector $ export GOPATH=$PWD
~/syslog-gollector $ go get github.com/otoolep/syslog-gollector
package github.com/otoolep/syslog-gollector
imports code.google.com/p/log4go
imports github.com/otoolep/sarama
imports code.google.com/p/snappy-go/snappy: unable to detect version control system for code.google.com/ path
~/syslog-gollector $ go install github.com/otoolep/syslog-gollector
src/github.com/otoolep/sarama/snappy.go:5:2: cannot find package "code.google.com/p/snappy-go/snappy" in any of:

Ask YN: General Advice to Entering the Industry
Short version: I graduated last year with a degree in Game Development; [3D art, Level Design, Programming]; enough skill to make a basic game prototype alone or apply at entry level for any game-related position. I haven't made it anywhere since; I believe what I currently have in my portfolio (even it was presented nicely) and the degree isn't enough to get me hired.

Makeshift current portfolio as a Google Doc. https://docs.google.com/document/d/13tfY6aoFoqChxdjvksaDcyDMqfxjefFSaHb2Z0IzyTA/edit

My goals:

(long term): Being a development lead at a game studio; either through running my own small studio or through being promoted to it in a corporate structure.

(short term): Any position in the tech industry; instead of just being a 'hobbyist' who happens to have a degree in their hobby.

I will never give up on the long term goal because it represents too much of who I am.

---

I've already asked for advice in other places and it really looks like there are two main paths; with additional ones that are possible, but not as...intelligent.

Main Paths:

1. Make the best game I can alone (taking 2.5 months) and use that as the front of my portfolio. [Team vs. Alone and Art/GLSL vs. Complex Mechanically (physics code) are sub-questions.]

2. Pick up a new programming skill, unrelated to games. I have enough programming background to think that web development, 3D printing or [insert discipline with a job surplus here] wouldn't take too long to pick up. Put together a couple rudimentary prototypes within this discipline; open source them to GitHub, apply with those.

Less Intelligent Paths:

3. Try to form an Indie studio -now. Start working a game way too big for me to finish alone; post prototypes and art; recruit people online; try to get funding from Kickstarter or Angel investors, all that.

4. Old-fashioned networking. Move to a tech hub; work as a barista, or some other low-skill job; try to make contacts.

Thanks for reading.
What to Do When a Miner Controls Over 51% of Your Blockchain
I have no idea what sonar frequencies are what, but to expand on your point, sonar is basically the only kind of sensor that works underwater. Radar and sight are basically useless.

Sonar is really all you have to see underwater, and is used heavily for scientific purposes, not only military purposes. Ocean-floor mapping is done with sonar. Active sonar of the kind that hurts whales is not in frequent use by deployed military vessels on military or surveillance missions because, while it gets you a good picture, it also announces "HERE I AM!!!" to the entire world.

Regarding nextdoor, I've been amazed to see the level to which city/local government is using it, at least in my city. Perhaps the most effective civic engagement tool to hit the streets since Ward Heelers (who were of course much better).

There is no confusion. I assumed 10,000 ft above sea level. Starting at 9,000 ft doesn't help much. The air is quite thin at 10,000 ft; many small general aviation aircraft have difficulty reaching that altitude. Here is a YT video showing a few minutes of someone's drone flight allegedly at that altitude. It doesn't appear to me that sustained flight for any reasonable duration is possible with that particular drone, nor do I expect any/many other drones to perform much better.

The advice goes somewhat deeper than this. Design goals aside you really shouldn't get too clever with GCs as they are subject to change. If the GC changes (because of platform upgrades, or simply using different runtimes) suddenly your application can start showing strange or bad memory performance characteristics.

Either way a less controversial way to put the Go advice would be:

> If you must read the rest of this document to understand the behavior of your program, you are being untrusting. Don't use things you don't trust.

If you care about memory performance characteristics that much you really should be using a language that gives you control over them.

That's not to say that all GC advice is bad: good GC advice exists and usually sticks to the formal definition of a GC (an infinite memory simulator), instead of implementation details which, again, can change.
Then what is it? Actual working prototype with advertised parameters? What are concept cars? Do they need to actually drive at all? Or can you get away with design, idea an chassis physical mockup?
