Perhaps, something like: [ShootR]( https://github.com/ntaylormullen/shootr), [purescript-asteroids](https://github.com/waterson/purescript-asteroids), and [multiplayer pacman](https://github.com/hdgarrood/multipac/).

Do you have a link that explains this lending mechanism? I saw it referred to in a previous HN discussion a while back, and would like to know more about it, since it sounds ludicrous.
You buy X in the states knowing the rules of how X is taxed. Property taxes might go up on X in the future, but you know that.

Now consider buying X in China. You have to pay a tax up front, and the developer paid a tax (or well, paid for the land). Also, X's price is much higher since the assumption is that X will not be taxed in the future. Now China introduces a completely new property tax on X and all your assumptions are destroyed. The rules of the game are different, and now you can't resell X under the same assumptions.
I am really trying to figure out the ecosystem. I did some stuff with a single server but now as we need to move it to multiple servers we have Rancher, Weave, and so many others (kubernetes?). And now docker has integrated multihost networking so I am really not sure how to proceed.
Yeah because there's negative interest rates in Europe and the USD has already appreciated considerably.

Anyhow, low-ish interest rates were the norm for most of the US' history, rates will go up, but get used to low rates. Keeping the banks in line (not taking too much leverage) is the key to preventing another bust, not raising interest rates.

Regardless, low interest rates don't mean the US is still in a recession. There's 5% unemployment and the economy is growing. Heck, 2 of Europe's stronger economies (Switzerland and Sweden) have negative rates.

The vast majority of HDMI ports provide the amount of power required by the base spec: 0.275W (55mA @ 5V). DisplayPort 1.2 provides 1.65W (500mA @ 3.3v).

Neither is sufficient to power the newest Chromecast dongle, but you can get far more juice out of a standard DP 1.2 port than you can from a standard HDMI port.
We will instantly have tools to decompile this stuff so it will look just as good if not even better than what you get when formatting minified javascript today.

I visit China every couple of years and I completely agree. The terrible air quality is the worst thing about Beijing.

But it does explain a decent chunk of the cost disparity. The Chinese (or at least the government) are willing to pollute the crap out of their air in order to better compete, while we are not. That doesn't mean we should join them, but it does explain their lower costs.

Thanks! Try scheduling mock interviews with Careercup.com. That's probably the closest I can recommend you. (We do mock interviews also, but it's a distraction for us from the main course we offer).

There are other mock interview services too, but I'm not sure if they are any good.

Core issue is, that the area of interview-important DS and Algos is vast. And most people who are good at it, are too busy working. Careercup sets a high bar, and so do we. And you don't want to go to people from Academia.

(BTW, we do accept remote students in the program. Our batches are small, and increasingly getting full way in advance, but if you'd like to chat, feel free to hit me up: soham@interviewkickstart.com.)

I wonder if it is because out law enforcement is better than in Africa or anywhere in the middle east for that matter. Think of all the rapes and murders, kidnappings and human trafficking that go on there every day, unpunished. Think of all the corruption and mobs in Mexico. Anyway, we know that there are far more people in North Korean labor camps.

I think that the real reason though is that we allow Blacks and Mexicans in America to make excuses. Left wingers do everything in their power to give them a leg up... lower educational standards for them, give them welfare and disability, tell white people that it's their fault and make blacks victims of slavery, change everything around them to make their lives easier instead of demanding that they work-or-starve like the dirt poor immigrants from Russia or Romania who arrive with nothing, can barely speak English, and work hard with their hands to eventually build a successful life. Stop making excuses for them. Stop telling them they can't succeed without your beloved programs. They once were a strong and proud people, now they have been reduced to taking handouts and lacking empowerment as a result. (why would they need special help unless they were inferior to begin with? - They can't do it on their own)

We allow their vulgar and misogynist language, rap and music to infiltrate our culture. Glamorize their thugs-life. Give them a pass when abandoning their kids (it's because of white racists you know). Do you really think that PC and social programs have benefited blacks in America? More people then ever secretly dislike blacks now because they can't even criticize them (with legitimate reasons) without the racism patrol coming out and ruining their lives.
Where do you get this stuff, anyway? Wherever it was, I would recommend not placing any credibility on that source in the future.

In fact, if you ground up the Fukushima reactor whole, to a fine powder, and dispersed it over the entire ocean, it wouldn't make one bit of significant difference with respect to the concentration of radionuclides.

Heck, the Soviets used to dump their scrapped sub reactors into the Arctic Ocean whole. There are dozens of them up there, probably (I don't have a hard number on this). It hasn't killed any oceans or continents yet.

Would I go scuba diving near one of the dump sites? Hell no! Am I going to lose any sleep over the prospect of them killing the entire ocean? Likewise hell, no!
It is explained here:

We originally built the software for these systems in a cross-platform manner, targeting Mac, Windows, and Linux using a C++ codebase. About eight years ago, we realized that as a small team we needed to focus on one platform in order to accelerate development and take on our much larger competitors.

After a lengthy evaluation of the Windows, Mac, and Linux development environments, we chose the Mac and Cocoa (despite none of us having much experience with the Mac before that). We rewrote our entire control software in Cocoa seven years ago, and looking back I feel that it was one of the best decisions our company has made.

thats exactly what he is saying. Relative to some illegal substances, meth is not worse or somehow more heinous. Part of the problem when many talk about the legalization of drugs is the inherited biases one acquires from paying attention or taking at face value what sources like the media or government say about these substances. The problem isn't that certain substances are much worse than others, it's the fact that these substances (harmful or otherwise) are relegated to the black market.

Here in Missouri, Ameren tried for years to get the CWIP-financing ban [0] overturned so that rate-payers would build a new nuclear plant rather than investors. In a rare victory for representative government, they spun their wheels until the dropping price of natural gas made the whole exercise academic. They're hoping that other fuels will simultaneously peak at some point so they can lock their customers into decades of expensive power, but it won't be anytime soon.

[0] Why is there a ban, you ask? Because the first nuclear plant they built, in the 1970s, had such catastrophic cost overruns that the entire state swore, "never again".
How can you be against nuclear when you don't even understand the level of output of a nuclear plant? You also suggest that nuclear is mature, but that doesn't mean there aren't new reactor designs being developed.

Solar is also mature by your lame definition of just being around for a long time. In fact, solar has been around longer than nuclear in that regard so it must be more mature then. /s

Heroin addiction doesn't kill you. What kills you is when you buy a gram that's three times as pure as the last one so you accidentally overdose.

Even if you don't believe addicts can lead normal lives, as long as they're shooting up clean, cheap heroin of predictable purity there at least exists a chance of rehabilitation and a normal life in their futures.

The private sector wasn't "not very interested", they were required to sell their dollars to the central bank for RMB. They just were not allowed to hold dollars inside the country. That money was then taken out of circulation by buying US treasuries (what else could China do with it?).

There was a time when China wanted to get rid of some of their USD holdings, so they encouraged companies to take RMB, buy dollars, and invest abroad. But taken to an extreme, eventually China runs out of reserves, has to buy dollars on the open market to satisfy demand, and that leads the RMB to de-valuing as they print more to buy dollars.

China still has to buy most imported commodities using dollars...like oil. A de-valued RMB will most certainly lead to inflation at home, causing prices to rise. And then Chinese will start hoarding dollars if they lose confidence in the RMB, leading to a sort of death spiral.

At this time, China wants to keep money in China, and so is cracking down on banks exchanging to USD too easily. Capital controls are a real thing.

3. What about uses on phones? Can I have both a scratch resistant touch screen that also doesn't fracture if I drop it 3ft onto asphalt?

4. What does it do in reaction to sunlight? How insulative is it if used in buildings and homes?

5. Is it non reactive for biomedical uses? Does it deteriorate over time? How stable is it?
Keep in mind that there are two sides to every transaction. So while you sold RMB someone else must have bought it. While you bought a house in the US someone else bought stuff from China.

Meanwhile the Chinese economy runs on the RMB. Has the amount of RMB in circulation been dwindling? I doubt it. While the PBoC sold down forex holdings it also reduced reserve ratio and interest rates and directly intervened through money market operations to compensate.

Has the total forex holdings of all Chinese entities been going down? Likely but they swapped the holdings for other assets such as real estate. It has more implications for the other markets than for China, in that the asset preference is changing from central bank assets (forex reserves holdings of PBoC invested in government bonds) to assets preferred by private investors (real estate or other assets).

> Also, note that I didn't say that private property is "nothing more" than a social construct. I said it is a social construct, and as a social construct it's a lot

I'm really confused at what you find controversial about what I said or how it is relevant.

Regardless of whether private property is "constructed", the reality is we do have property rights. If you are going to distribute that property there is only one way to accomplish that: by force.

>an atmosphere where failure IS acceptable

Ultimately, education is about competing for progressively smaller numbers of seats in progressively better lives. High school has nothing to do with "learning" - it's a test, a very long one, to find out who belongs in selective colleges and who doesn't. Colleges are, in turn, a test to find out who gets to stay in the middle class. School before HS is about learning the discipline and technique for approaching that test. But the content of both is entirely irrelevant. Its only purpose is to be difficult, so that some people can hack and and others can't, because there isn't room for everyone at the next stage. Some kids have to be weeded out. If you think this is a strange attitude, ask yourself why people complain so much about grade inflation.

There cannot be a situation where "failure is acceptable." If you give a rational high school student an assignment that they can fail without consequences, they'll spend their limited budget of energy and attention on one that gatekeepers care about. The only way around this in a world where comfortable livings are a scarce resource is to allocate them on some axis other than intellectual merit. For a long time we did more or less that: as long as you were white, male, and born to a "good family" you didn't have to work too hard in school. Well, those days are ending, and the world is a more just place for it.

In a non-grade-inflated environment, "failure" is okay as long as you fail less than your peers. This is perhaps a better environment for the cultivation of resilience - you're used to tests you can only make a 30% on. But then the operative kind of failure is performing worse than your peers. A lot of people on HN complain that kids these days can't deal with being average. But I've never seen someone say "we hire the middle 50% of developers." No. We hire the top 5.
They spent $42.5mm on the station. Other comparable stations in the region cost ~$500k. The title is a little misleading. The Pentagon asserts they cannot provide information on the gas station project because it was part of a discontinued program with a total budget of $800mm. Thus, the extrapolation that they have no idea where any of the total budget went.

Right now PBoC is selling dollars, not buying them. This is why the reserve holding is going down.
