My stepdaughters both started when they were six. This became an enormous issue when they turned eighteen and we realised that one of them really needed to repeat their final year but couldn't because they were too old. Had she been entered at five years old, she would have been much more likely to graduate.
Music is a dying industry because there's too much good free music floating around. Look at labels like http://www.ektoplazm.com/ . The music is 100% free. There's not even a buy button anywhere. Long distance phone calls and music are a glimpse of our future where things are too cheap to meter. The dying industries are trying to find ways to create artificial scarcity to go back to the old way of doing things.

In my part of the U.S., it's the "high end European" baby seat brand so that's where I first heard of them, but then I'm not into racing. The AK airline ad card, IIRC, mentioned baby seats (maybe trying to appeal to my demographic, or going for the "cradles you like a baby" theme...)

By that logic, seats shouldn't recline on short haul flights. Nobody needs to sleep on a <4 hour flight.

I will say sleeping on flight isn't easy. I've flown a lot and have been lucky enough to be in real business class three times (British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, and a budget airline) and I've only slept once ever in all that flying. Virgin Atlantic's completely flat beds got me snoring (the other two airline's "almost flat" chairs did nothing).

If you're in US/Canada, give Slacker Radio a shot. They do radio "stations" better than anyone. Plus on-demand if you feel like just listening to an album or something.
Europe is currently pretty much ordered itself into nation states. It required some bleeding over the centuries. If you look at Swiss and Germans, they can hate each other and be internally fine. Both are using 2% of their GDP in defense to fend of each other proactively. There is balance of power, which result very little violence.

Now if both countries would import so much people from middle east that they would constitute something like 30% of the population of each country. Now ethnic Germans and Swiss seem to be "the same group" compared to Muslims. If shit hit's the fan, there is new pressure to readjust the borders. And move the people. Usually that stuff causes bleeding.

You could say that "if" is completely unrealistic right now. I agree. Nothing that has happened in Europe during past 15 years really warrants any policy change regarding immigration. The point was largely theoretical, just like your island.
The claim is that the new cards slow shoppers down. All the more reason to promote Apple Pay which is much quicker than using CCs even when the CCs are swiped.
Excellent! I was hoping that the answer would be that there is no GC.
What you're claiming about the privacy of DNA isn't strictly true. You're correct that, aside from mutations, we share all of our alleles with one or the other parent, and about half of them with full siblings, etc. But this information in itself doesn't enable one to predict the exact composition of your genome, which would be needed to form a predictive model of your body. It would still be possible to, say, link your DNA to that found at a crime scene, but you still sacrifice something by giving it up.

I have little hope that we will maintain this form of privacy, but that isn't to say nothing has been lost.

I use Google music, mostly because I got in on it early and get it at small discount for $7.99/mo.

I use it on my phone, in my car (via bluetooth from my phone home stereo (via bluetooth from my phone), television (via chromecast from my phone), and laptop (via the web).

It also allows me to upload my offline library, which was unique when it came out (I think?) but isn't so much now (right?).

My wife has Spotify, and she uses it the exact same way. Eventually we'll decide on one based on something trivial (like me being willing to switch, and she being not willing) and do a family account. And once we do, that will be that until the service closes or changes drastically. The services aren't that much different.

Downvotes seem unwarranted. And slightly ironic.
No uploading your offline library was not unique when it came out nor unique now. Initially Apple's implementation was much better since it fingerprinted the song and linked it to their library so you only had to upload songs not in their library.

And actually the services are quite different if you spend a lot of time with them. I switched from Spotify to Apple Music and now considering buying both.

There was a study linked here before that showed that while older children of the same grade do better up to high school, younger children do better in college and life beyond. A theory being that the difficulties younger children face in schooling better prepare them for the real world.

So what do you optimize for?
First off, nobody is using a laptop in economy regardless of recline. The keyboard is too close to use well. Tablets work fine, laptops are more business or first class conveniences.

Secondly: If the person behind you has long legs it damn right hurts when the person in front reclines. As in "popping painkillers" level of pain. When you recline, their knees have nowhere to go, so they end up being compressed between the back of your seat and the cushion of their seat. Oh and every time you move your seat bounces up and down, straight onto their knees pressed firmly against your seat back.

So to be entirely clear we're talking about "genuine pain, not moderate inconveniences" for the person behind you. I take extra strong painkillers onto flights so that the 5' person in front of me can feel mildly more comfortable.

When the tax laws become too burdensome, people simply leave.

It makes sense that there'd be free options for a genre like trance or other electronica that can be made by one person on a computer.

Yeah, but also the very big disadvantage that nobody cares for those artists [1], even for the better ones among them.

This kind of "long tail" [2] idea never panned out, because it turns out most people mostly go for the few acts at the top -- and, heck, even those today are not doing very well, sales and streaming licenses wise.

Identify your weaknesses. What are they? Language? Specifically? Grammar, vocabulary? Or higher-level communication? Or interviews, specifically?

I'm twice non-native speaker (English, German) but got good enough to do communication-focused roles without big problems.

From my point of view, language requires training in grammar and a satisfactory vocabulary.

Grammar most probably really need training (like language courses), I think it's quite hard to get all these tenses and modal verbs etc. right.

For vocabulary check Duolingo, good for training.

Read a lot in the language, listen a lot to the speech.

A couple of friends who learn eastern-European languages book private lessons over Skype, you can get a professional tutor quite cheap. Not sure if this will work for English, though.

Consider spending several month abroad (some Work&Travel programm). Full integration is the best way to learn the language.

As for interviews, read a few books on interviews (like "Programming Interviews Exposed") and do a lot of interviews. Go to interviews just for training. It's just a matter of practice. After a dozen of interviews you'll know the show.
The emails aren't more important than the data, but that doesn't matter: these are government employees communicating on government servers about government work, and whether we like it or not (in this instance, I don't!), Congress is entitled to the messages.
But it does take the weight away from them being a window into how politician's mind works.

Without knowing the context it sounds like a politician stating outright what they seem to be doing all the time, which is exploiting a crisis to impose something that benefits few at the expense of many, while the context is the opposite.

I'm sure politicians have this exact thought in either case, but the quote isn't the bullseye it might seem.
It's not an outside estimation, it's based on dates written in the bible. You don't get to believe in the bible and claim a significantly different date for this event.

> Legally, it would probably be easy for the games industry to crack down on broadcasting, but instead they have encouraged it, seeing it as a new way to engage users and generate revenue.

Nintendo is a notable outlier in this instance. They are notoriously strict about broadcasting games, to the point where even many reviewers simply won't touch their games. Even though a review is absolutely protected by copyright law, it's just not worth the effort when all of the industry's video hosting services are stacked in favor of games publishers and developers.

But we don't ask who's going to win the Super Bowl. It's that we know that if we let 100 people in one isolated room to watch Super Bowl the room will be always warmer as long as people actually live in it and are allowed to eat (life also involves more heat from the food, assume we add them food all the time). The doubters claim that it doesn't have to happen. It does. We can calculate how much warmer approximately even if we can't be 100% sure for every minute, on the average the curve will match.

It's the same with the Earth. It's as isolated as the isolated room would be -- we know exactly how much heat can dissipate and how much must contribute to the increase of the temperature for the room, and we have quite good estimates for Earth too (less heat dissipates to the space when CO2 increases, and the Sun shines the heat nevertheless - we can nicely calculate even the contributions of the changes in orbit and some clever scientist did that even before the computers were available, it took years of calculations by hand then but it was done). We can be wrong for some particular year, but the direction and the average increase match.

The room is of course simpler than the Earth. Imagine having some water pumps, some fans and some chunks of ice in the room. You know the formulas for the water and ice but you have more to calculate for short term effects. But you still know there will be less ice as the time goes by and more water. And still always a bit warmer.

The French should consider consulting the Israeli's who have probably the most experience combatting Islamic terror. The Israelis are good at both hi-tech and HUMINT and doubtless other countries could benefit from their expertise, if they don't already.

However, it is noteworthy that in the end, the Israelis had to build a security fence around their country in order to combat terror. But this was for combating terrorists from outside the country.

Several of these French terrorist were French citizens and as such the Israeli the French could benefit from Israeli assistance.

For people who are willing to pay for a music service, it seems pretty hard to beat Google Music's value proposition. Because it's a Google service, it can afford to compete as much as it needs to on price

I thought something similar about XBox Music, I figured with Microsoft's money it would never go away and it would have at least as good a selection of music as other music only services. I am right on the former, wrong on the latter. When I gave Spotify a shot I found they had a larger catalog of songs than XBox Music (particularly indie bands).

I guess it comes down to XBox Music is probably a loss leader or at least a runt service that doesn't get much love at MS but at Spotify, it's their ONLY business. Maybe Google is different than MS as far as how much attention they put into their music licensing (and there is the added YouTube benefit you mentioned) but it's something to consider (or at least really compare catalog access).
I really liked Grooveshark because it had a proper HTML5 player before they shut down. I was looking for alternatives and recently found Rdio and was quite happy with it, actually it has a lot in common with Grooveshark (e.g. user stations).

Both Spotify and Deezer have web apps but they require Flash.
Spotify has forwarded people asking for an HTML player to the forum and they have successfully ignored it for years. I sent Deezer a mail, they told me to "rest assured we are considering all options" and "if a transition is made it will take some time to implement".

Are there any alternatives that do not require a custom client or Flash (that also work in Europe)?

> Why is this incident different than the Russian bombing?

Well its quite well known that certain events create more "buzz" than others.

The plane crash is mostly limited in impact to the bereaved who are probably mourning rather than tweeting. At least in the UK the travel chaos afterwards caused more "buzz" than the actual event itself, perhaps because angry tourists are more likely to tweet/Facebook.

The attacks in Paris directly affected thousands who will have all communicated that experience directly to friends and on social media. It went on for hours and was watched by million. For most people it did have more impact, however shallow that may have been.
