(Norwegian here). Great show, but it's so hilariously and transparently self-flattering to the Norwegian sense of self.

Norway boldly goes zero-emission and turns off the fossil fuel tap.

The European Union essentially hires Russia to swoop in and invade in response to turn the tap back on. When the shocked Norwegian prime minister demands to talk to the person in charge, the EU chief's head pops up and scolds them saying they had this coming. Norwegian pm demands to talk to a european head of state.... and SWEDEN pops up. SWEDEN!

Seriously, I love this show, but the American equivalent would be if France and China teamed up as an evil strikeforce to invade America because they were printing too many Bibles or something.

EDIT: also if norway turned off the tap, isn't that GOOD for Russian gas exports & thus controlling europe? But exciting fiction nonetheless :P
I don't mean to diminish the accomplishments or skill of backgammon players, but in my opinion being an imperfect information game makes backgammon, like poker, much less interesting.

It means that, in principle, it is simply a matter of running Minimax over all possible distributions on a sufficiently powerful computer, and the game can be solved. I do mean 'in principle': actually doing this is still well beyond the world's computational capabilities, though this doesn't stop computers playing stronger than any human.
I want to have a system which protects me from money loss (through my own fault, a malicious third party, or my bank's fault). I don't care how as long as I'm protected. With Chip-and-PIn cards, I'm not protected because I have to proof that it was not my fault (which can be incredible difficult to do). So, I personal prefer cards that require a signature.

It doesn't matter to me if it has a chip or not (the chip has nothing to do with the pin, there are also chip-and-signature cards and cards that support both. The chip makes it hard to physically clone the card).

If you are interested in the downsides of the new pin card, checkout this video:
https://youtu.be/Ks0SOn8hjG8

So, if zero authentication means that I am not liable for financial damages, I'm happy with it but I wouldn't bother to use a pin if I had the same liability. Unfortunately, the pin adds laughable authentication which makes me liable for many types of fraud (see the video).

It's also much less diverse than America.
My dad was an archaeologist for the US government, and the bulk of his job came down to surveying potential construction sites to make sure they didn't destroy any anything historic. (Graves, stone tool manufacturing sites, etc.) This was in the more remote places of the Pacific Northwest, where most of what you'd find is hard for a lay-person to identify, much less assign historical significance to. I assume that in a place like London you can't dig a hole in your back yard without a team of archaeologists sifting through the dirt you take out.
This is the only motivation that has ever mattered for domestic surveillance in any nation: control.

Hi -- I'm Anna, the CEO of dfxMachina. I learned how to build millions of things during a six year tenure at Apple that culminated with leading Product Design for Apple Watch. Instead of just making one product thinner/cheaper/better, we are fundamentally changing how all products are designed and built.

We're making artificial intelligence for manufacturing -- enabling assembly lines that can provide actionable insights into how our customers' designs or processes can be improved – with the potential to save billions in scrap and rework costs.

We are dedicated to building a diverse and dynamic team of data-driven engineers who see inefficiencies as opportunities and want to develop a system that not only touches, but improves, millions of things each day. We have revenue and are funded. Today we are just six people -- there's lots of opportunity here to move the needle, influence the product, and grow as an engineer!

We are actively seeking several software engineers to be founding members of our artificial intelligence team. These engineers will architect, develop, and deploy scaleable, non-task specific machine learning, computer vision, and other data extraction/correlation algorithms to generate insights about our customers’ product and manufacturing processes.

Would love to hear from you -- communications at dfxmachina dot com -- it goes directly to my inbox!
You could have communicated the same idea without petty, hostile sarcasm.
Can you imagine this in the USA after the response by the right to limiting just incandescent lightbulbs?

Half the legislatures in the country passed laws to ban any ban on the old lightbulbs.

I think some politicians ran on it, remember Michelle Bachmann?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Lighting_Energy_Policy#Li...

If they limited gas powered cars the government would probably be overthrown by some of the same lightbulb people.

2025 does seem a bit soon but it would be nice to have a target to talk about, ie. no new gas cars made starting 2050 (people would horde them though)
Because you want to be downtown for hiring/marketing purposes but not pay $60/sqft with a 5-10yr lease as opposed to $300-500 when you bring someone on. Eventually you may out grow it and need to get a lease somewhere, but it's extremely flexible while you're small and slowly ramping up staff.

Doesn't always work though. I grew up in the countryside and similar to you I ate dirt, wild fruit (best ever was a egg plum tree we found, though the natural laxative effect was unwelcome), drank from streams etc etc.

Unfortunately, I developed an allergy to dogs, despite living with one for nearly 10 years! I left for literally 3 months and upon my return I was allergic.

Also I still get colds and illnesses like most people (not regularly but I get them) so it's not conferred any super powers in that respect either. That might be because I have my own kids now as kids seem to take their disease spreading role seriously!!

So, I'm sure that there are big benefits to our respective early lifestyles but they're not a panacea unfortunately.
You forget, Facebook's customers are not its users; they are assets whose access they are selling to their actual customers, ad agencies and marketers. Advertising made up nearly 97% of Facebook's revenue in Q1 2016[0]. Messenger and messaging is something Facebook has not previously monetized, and I would presume this is part of Facebook's plan to monetize messenger by releasing ads on it in Q2 2016[1]. This all makes perfect sense if messaging in the Facebook app is used by few enough of its users that the cost of maintaining and monetizing it would be greater than ad revenue it could generate, which seems reasonable to me. So, in fact, they are only improving their products and services for their paying customers, advertisers. I'm rather confidant that Facebook would not be doing this if its users were its paying customers.

I promise there are plenty of patients with autoimmune disease who had childhoods just like yours. I don’t want to sound hostile but “I am not sick, because I do/did X” is a) not scientifically useful and b) somewhat insulting to patients who suffer from chronic illness. The truth is everyone has risk factors for most diseases and there is still an incredibly large probabilistic element involved - some people are just lucky. This will likely change in the future as true causes are identified of course.

The hygiene hypothesis is interesting but it’s far from proven and there are competing theories for many autoimmune diseases involving pathogens. The trendy attitude of “people were so healthy back when society was simple”, however, is blatantly false. People overall, by any reasonable metric, have better health today than they have even had in the past. As we invent vaccines and improve treatment options we simply forget about the burden of diseases that no longer exist.
What are some other forms of monetization besides ads?
The raw data rate is pretty low, but keep in mind that there's all sorts of signaling traffic going on just to establish a connection, depending on protocol requiring multiple transmit/receive cycles - which in turn means waiting. Again depending on protocol, you may also have to handle collisions (more than one transmission in the same channel at the same time) etc - while still maintaining service for the network's regular customers.

Multiple short transmissions are more taxing than a few long ones.
From what I could tell, it is because HTML tables have a specific structural meaning, which is among other things used by screen readers. So if used properly, a person who needs a screen reader could reliably have the contents of a table read to them, but if it's used for layout the result is useless. There seems to be enough people conscious of this that use of tables for layout has always been frowned on. Now there are better hints for screen readers, ,but tables are still useful for screen readers "out of the box."

In any case, tables are not nearly as flexible as a true responsive layout.

No, we don't pay overtime. There hasn't been a recent decision about that, so it's more a historical artefact at this point, but my rationale for not paying overtime (apart from the fact that it's uncommon to get overtime pay as a full time employee in the UK) is that I don't think overtime should be encouraged in any way. For the same reason we don't allow people to sell their (30 days) yearly paid holiday allowance back to the company - the days are there to take them, not to trade them for a bit of extra pay.

If I'm understanding your argument right, I think you're saying that because we try to evaluate how much people should be paid in a rational way that includes some assumptions around time being correlated to amount of work, that means we are "profiteering". I'm not sure that's worth dignifying with an answer, but here goes:

GrantTree is a business. We need to make a profit in order to continue to exist, to grow, to be an exciting place to work, to have the resources to invest in our people, to be able to develop new products, and so on. We also need to compete against other businesses in the same market, some of whom are quite aggressive. If we get the balance between people's contributions and their compensations wrong, we'll be uncompetitive and won't survive. It's that simple and has nothing to do with profiteering.

Tales from 20 years of copyleft enforcement
It's terrible advice as most companies are not likely in the range one is seeking and therefore are just a colossal waste of time. Seriously this article tells me to do three phone screens and one or two in person interviews before finding out the company is so far short of what I'm seeking that I won't take the job regardless of any other factors. Sometimes I wonder about people who write such advice and question whether they have actually gone through the job finding process while working another job, or worse, while watching one's emergency fund dwindle while unemployed. My experience suggests otherwise.
No, but the era of exclusive content is ramping up. While it's not exactly the same thing because it isn't free, you see the same behavior happening in the video streaming industry.

As far as I know, those things run on a schedule most of the time but maybe you want to leave early and turn off all the lights at once. Or if you want to pull an all nighter and want normal light so you don't get sleepy quicker.

There are a lot of cases when you want to change your schedule and your phone helps you do that.

Furthermore, you will be controlling the lights less with an app and more with your voice. For instance, if you tell Siri good night (and you have home kit enabled), Siri should dim or turn of the lights. Combined with Amazon's Echo, this can really be handy (although I have a lot of privacy concerns regarding Echo).
In that regard, I look for a semi-active blog, preferably with technical topics. A few times a month is fine, weekly shows some steady progress. Talking about customers is a start but I also want to see how they're applying their own product to different use cases, industries, etc.

I also look for mentions on Twitter. Not a specific number but if they're getting tech support questions, are they responded to?

My reasoning is simply: "I'll need help at some point, are they willing & able to provide it?"

The US is a net exporter of Oil, but like with many other products it imports as almost much as it exports.

Just be aware that the US imports 40% of it's Oil from Canada if it stops doing so it will have a major impact on Canada's economy which is a thing no one wants especially considering the current issues with the Canadian economy.
However it if wanted too it could stop importing oil all together today since it has more than enough local production, it would however increase the cost of gas and other petroproducts in the US since the US often imports considerably cheaper oil from OPEC and Canada while exporting fairly expensive US crude.
Interesting, where do you get that from? I'd like to learn more about this.
All of the countries mentioned have royalty regimes which companies have to pay to extract natural resources. Oil extraction in Texas has a 25% royalty rate [2]. This is typically based off of the retail price, not some interim price too.

Governments are very careful to set royalty rates appropriately. Extraction companies compare total costs, so countries with low labour and shipping costs can have higher royalties than countries with high costs. [3] I've seen a report out of New Zealand showing just how mercenary this is, comparing the cost-to-market from several countries complete with royalty rate comparisons.

The difference is in what the countries do with the royalties. For example, Alberta does have a sovereign wealth fund, but it also doesn't collect sales tax. Saudi Arabia has a huge sovereign fund - just not quite as big as Norway's. Saudi Arabia also has no personal income taxes.

Norway's genius is in sending the royalties through the fund, and then only allowing them to spend at most 4% of the total [1] - the estimated average annual return.
