Doesn't an American passport make you liable to American taxes worldwide? (I guess, if you are rich enough, your accountants can deal with that..)
In Australia what I hate is when people stand outside supermarkets or on shopping strips and say anything to try and get you to stop so they can sell you on something.

This might be okay if it was someone trying to tell you about a cause that they genuinely believe in but the majority of the time it is likely someone just working on a commission for whatever charity or group they are trying to sell you on.
CMV – The Configurable Map Viewer
I was a semi introvert and extrovert guy but after working for one startup for more than 3 years in isolated environment makes me feel like i am fully introvert. There is no one with whom i can express my feelings openly. I don't have friends to hangout, and the most depressing thing is the people of my age have all this thing. What's more awkward is I can't even able to approach people, seems like i forgotten how to interact.

The other reason might be, i was afraid to not look like looser. Most of the people consider me quite successful and showing such weakness in front of society is not acceptable.

I have lot of ideas in my mind but i don't have energy to execute. My bank balance is good but it doesn't bring happiness. I don't have time on my hand. Sometimes i feel like i do sucide but i am strong men.

I don't recommend anyone to start a startup unless he socially fit and not under his early 20s.

I have not downvoted you but I imagine many people here do not like non sequitur arguments.
I use both but personally prefer Isomorphic because in most cases the code isn't actually universal, it has to be translated (shimmed, transpired, etc) between environments.

If there is one thing you can do to annoy programmers though is to use the wrong terminology :p.
I've found plenty of people in SF will look at you, the real problem is figuring out how to connect with them as an introvert. If all you want is for them to do the former just hit the gym more as fitness is a mainstream way to at least have a mutual appreciation of each other in this city, beyond just connecting with other devs and ops people via your open source contributions.

The submission site doesn't allow comments from "non-gaming employees", so I will post a response comment here, aimed at Feliz whose comment you can read in the submission site's comments.

---

@Feliz, that is exactly the type of indoctrinated response one would expect from a brainwashed, ass-kissing employee. An employer should never be looking into personal lives. Look up what Henry Ford did to his employees for a perfect example of how completely insane it is. Your last paragraph comes across as an egotistical sociopath who is dictating how everyone else should behave.

The stat quoted is that it was discovered that 25% of toxic players were determined to be underperforming employees. That's actually a fairly low percentage; I bet that 25% of employees who fell into the non-toxic player pool would also fall under the umbrella of "toxic employees". Correlation does not equal causation.

Honestly, you sound like someone posting with your real name in hopes that your managers will see your comment and promote you, or at least look upon you favorably compared to your silent coworkers. Taking an activity that employees partake in during their free time to determine employment status is a disgusting practice that should not be permitted under the law.
I was also wondering about two things I've heard they have in northern climes called heated garages and engine block warmers[1]. I assume if one were charging a batter one could also divert some power to keep it warm. Lowered range aside one bonus of an electric car in cold climates is they'll probably start.

[1] As a Californian these things frighten and confuse me.
We don't have it
People need more venues to meet new people, but by greeting I meant more like saying "evening!" when you pass your next door neighbor in the hallway. I don't think there's an expectation to chat in this case. If I wanted to chat I'd start with "excuse me," and probably walk up first as you say.

A greeting can be made from across the street, and sometimes just lifting your hat in response is enough (I don't have one, but I have seen people do this).
Ode to the cashier.

First they came for the waiting room, and I did not speak out -
Because I did not mind to queue.

Then they came for the stock pickers, and I did not speak out -
Because I did not mind to pick.

Then they came for the cashiers, and I did not speak out -
Because I did not mind to be anti-social.

Then they came for me - and there were only robots left to speak for me.
And that, to put it succinctly, is the problem. In the pursuit of a Theory of Everything, you wind up with a Theory of Anything. If there's no particular reason why things are the way they are in this universe, then you're reduced to the simpler observationally-verifiable model anyway since the elegant overarching framework is essentially useless. It becomes a philosophy of the ought rather than a description of the is. A theory that predicts everything predicts nothing.

With articles like this one can see why all the social media companies and even Google put people in a "bubble". Twitter for the most part doesn't, and this sort of thing happens. Expect more bubbles, and to be isolated further from reality on the internet as time goes on.
People with taste don't "age out of the craze". I've been rereading the books on my commute over the last few weeks, and they're every bit as good as I remembered them being some 15 years ago.

>The major metropolitan areas are far less safe.

That's not actually true, statistically. There are more crimes because there are more people. If you look at violent crimes per capita, urban areas as a whole are safer.

On the other hand I'm not sure what value those statistics have for individuals. When you're in a city the neighborhood you're in matters a whole lot, especially if you're not from that city. Where I grew up there are some neighborhoods that are pretty close to being crime free, and there are others I won't go for fear of my safety.
I would think that Canadian and German passport would be quite excellent.

Canadian because it gives you access to free healthcare and the United States, as well as visa free entry to so many countries and the German one gives you all of the EU.

I knew a person with Canadian, Swiss, and New Zealand -- now that's an awesome combination.

I sometimes do worry about that. If banks didn't create mortgages, would houses be more affordable. It's obscene that I will give half of my life's income to the bank to pay off my mortgage.

So you can stay partying till 1 am and not spend time with your kids, working till 9 and let a babysitter put your kids to bed? Spend your weekend drinking beer and having fun with your friends instead of teaching your kid riding a bike or something else. Until you have kids you won't realize - it is actually fun and joy to spend your day with your kids and they appreciate it when they grow up and will want to spend time with you when they grow up, instead of not knowing their parents because they spend all time with a baby sitter while their parents are being "adults with adult activities"
Not sure why ST gained traction with other but here is why I love it.

Notepad++ was text editor for me. ST was a sexy thing. I was drooling.

I am yet to buy a license for ST but I use it always.

As a guy from an IDE heavy dev background, I was impressed that I can carry around my dev tool in a USB and also keep it in a folder on the network. Plus if a version is acting weird, I have can just trash-&-switch. I had many issues with VS acting nuts and it took more than 1 day to repair it. That is what push me to leave IDE oriented development. I am happy with a customized/tweaked text editor approach.

A negative:

Now I am playing more with Atom (ST clone) as its open source and more than 1 dev is involved. So, I will not be forced to change if the dev suddenly decides to stop. That is the main attraction for me in terms of the app being open source. I know that someone will continue and if I am desperate, I can attempt to tweak the app.

Despite the huge size of Atom, one thing that attracted me to it was the aesthetics aspect. ST was missing something.
Bullshit. It's claimed in the article that the frequency is ~25%. 25% of players do not commit the kinds of chat you are talking about. Clearly the chat log audit against employees is conducted via a purely subjective process, and you can be blacklisted into the "bad employee" pool for anything the auditor of the day decides is "inappropriate".

Riot and every Rioter should be ashamed that this process is taking place. Search up on Henry Ford's practice of invading employees' private lives. It's disgusting. And what you guys are doing is no different. I can't believe there are employees defending this in public... anything to gain favor with your bosses, huh?
Are you actually saying that France is given by inequality and racism compared to the US? Are you actually saying that the US and Germany have a superior food to France? US is superior to France in many ways, but clearly not those ones!
Quantification or quantization? (Autocorrect?)
I saw that you said you do video interviews, have you considered running "blind" interviews like how orchestras do? Applicants to orchestras play from behind a screen so that the judges selecting the candidates cannot see the candidate, and the only metric by which they can judge is the quality of the performance. Determining sex/age/race/etc through voice could be eliminated through audio filtering.
"Can I walk them through the numbers we ran?"

Not sure the roaming employees with handhelds is all that efficient but self-checkout sure is.

>a cuisine in many ways inferior to that of the US, Germany or other countries embracing fresh and organic good.

Okay, I was with you until this bit. Food doesn't necessarily need to be fresh to be good or healthy, and there's nothing inherently good in organics. Putting fresh/local and organic food on a pedestal stinks of privilege at best, and represents a rather problematic neo-luddite worldview at worst.
Back when I was at university, we had a computer graphics course. Each week we got new assignment that we needed to program, write to a floppy disk (it was before Internet became widely available) and give it to the prof next week.

Dithering was one of the assignments. We were required to implement black-white quantization and then Atkinson and Floyd-Steinberg. We were given the freedom to choose our own images.

During development at the dorm my favourite picture to debug on was pretty racy (think along the lines of full version of "Lena"). I totally did not intend to put it to the floppy disk...

Not only I got the 10 - the highest number of points for this assignment, I got +2 on top of that with the comment from prof: "for the choice of test images in the best tradition of the field".
Bullshit on correlation. They found that 25% of "toxic players" (determined by some subjective agenda) were also toxic at some level within the company.

This means absolutely nothing if you don't compare against the equivalent rate of "employee toxicity" from "non-toxic players". 25% isn't that high; I would bet that in general 1 out of 4 LoL players have been toxic in chat at one time or another. You can't just state 25% for one side of the equation without also mentioning what results you found from the other side.

I suspect that 25% of LoL players in general have been "toxic". You can't just focus only on the "bad employees" and call that correlation.
How China Is Changing Its Manufacturing Strategy
So you feel strong theory connects to reality, and is falsifiable and avoids "piling on epicycles"?

Will string theory be more parsimonious than the the more concrete model of physics it tries to model?
Chile does a lot of agriculture, fish farming, mining. It is probably a mining thing. Can't imagine putting fish in centrifuges leads to anything useful ;-)
You're pretty much entirely missing the point.

1. Scientists aren't at the heart of the scientific Open Access problem. Journals are.

2. The fact that copyright exists means that journals can then request it be transferred (or licensed) to the journal. For what's effectively forever.

3. Journals exercise gatekeeper access over scientists' careers, in that publishing in prestige journals is how scientists advance academically. This is de facto* coercive control over scientists.

4. With that control, journals compell publication of articles in controlled journals, for scientists to advance, require subscriptions of libraries (who otherwise forgo access to the material), and maintain a bank of virtually all scientific papers published since 1924 as an absolute monopoly.

Hence: no copyright, or a far-less-rediculous copyright, say, 14, 28, or 54 years (as was historically the case, via registration(s) and/or renewals), and much the problem would disappear.

The additional factor of deadweight costs of denied access to virtually all of humanity for this material is the other cost.
Yes, unfortunately the US is one of the few countries to do anything like this. Thankfully, you can exclude up to around $90k of earned income per year from taxes, and there are programs in place to give tax credits when you go over this limit and pay double taxes. Of course, you end up paying more, but it's not usually double.
This ties in with my thinking that there is just too much funding to do research for the sake of research. Let the private sector work on moonshots if they want but more realistically no one should be researching super far out problems. Instead the agile "just in time" approach needs to be used in academia as well as private companies.

A good analogy is no one was trying to build electric cars fifty years ago but now they are. But they only are because progress has been made indirectly in other fields to make it worth it now.
I find it interesting that they pay everyone at the same level the same amount. Unless that's an even more ambiguous statement than it reads; "level" being extremely subjective and analogue.. Their answer about pay is very open to interpretation. It has been a sellers market for a while now.

I also agree with you about the feel of the article. Something just doesn't sit right with me about it.
I used have a blind colleague, I didn't work closely with him but did have a few interactions with him. This was maybe 20 years ago. So people have been doing this a long time. He was working on speech codecs when I worked with him. Anyway he just went to engineering school. At least in California they have people who help you and the school is legally required to make an "accommodation" if needed. That could be a reader, or more time on exam, etc. Here is a brief article on the guy

http://www.calit2.net/newsroom/article.php?id=350
It's specified in the article that new employees (who do not have an employee account yet) are expected to provide their League username so it can be inspected.

This has nothing to do with "representing the company via an official channel"; this is directly an invasion of privacy of employees' private lives, for the purpose of weeding out those who don't "fit the company culture".
Ask HN: Need advice.My story:Once an $90k jQuery developer,now a “useless lamer”
I worked as a web dev for 9 years and wrote my first website for money when I was 16. Yesterday, I came for a job interview and was called "a useless lamer" by unshaved, hoodie wearing CTO after a long argument about whether jQuery is obsolete.

I finished last contract in April, and didn't manage to get a new one since then. Before, I thought that skill obsolescence is just an excuse to fire old, unproductive people, now it became my own issue. There were years when I was getting multiple calls from recruiters in single day,but I got only 3 calls in the whole 2015.

I understand now that my past success was only thanks one trendy buzzword on my resume, and that the hoodie CTO who was interviewing me was 90% right.

My weak sides:
>I never learnt any real OOPL. I didn't even study JS as a programming language
>Bad credentials: BCIT marketing and no-name college in Russia where I studied 1C
>Never made connections in the "hip tech," with ones who wear hoodies, use Macs and buy coffee in Starbuckses.I always preferred to work with "Serious People," who were in their majority completely computer-illiterate
>My English is good, but I have a terrible Russian accent despite the fact that I lived 1/3 of my life in English speaking countries
>I spent most of my career in Canada, but I never bothered to get a PR as I thought that employers will always be eager to get me a work permit, and it is better to not to become a Canadian taxpayer for life.

I spent 95% of my savings on buying my first apartment last year. What I have now will sustain me until the end of the year.

What should I do now? Learn React and lie about my past experience? Go to places with less competition, like London or Singapore?

More importantly,what should I do as a person? Continue trying to make a living in Canada, or return to a soon to be North Korea redux Russia? All of my classmates are on the path of settling down,and I believe I am the only one without plans for life
Where do you usually reside? First of all you've got issues with visas, but also in a lot of countries you automatically become a tax resident after staying there for more than ~180 days per year (as in most EU countries).
It depends on how you ask, what you're using it for, and of course, the reciprocal obligation on you to assist others, on request.

you're probably thinking of "Introduction to Astronomy" by Ronen Plesser. that course was awesome.
It was stated on a recent (3 weeks ago?) Twitch steam that in order to be part of the Q&A-ish testers team, you not only have to play League, but you need to be higher elo - I think it was Diamond+? - just to be hired. I mean, it's kind of cool to have "real players" handling the game, but it is a barrier to entry, and definitely furthers the culture of "must play LoL (and be good at it) in order to work for LoL".

People use 'organic' or 'locally sourced' as a proxy for any kind of food where the seller cares about flavour quality, nutrition, and appearance in equal amounts. The contrast to it, is 'industrial' food is of the sort where crop-yeild was the most important constraint to the seller.

I don't doubt most people would buy GMO foods if they were marketed as being healthier or tastier.

People certainly buy milk infused with all kinds of vitamins that aren't naturally present.

Organised collective behavior is better than individual, and much more powerful.
With the IANAL caveat: that helps prevent one type of employee abuse, the "retaliation termination" intended to force an ex-employee out of the country rather than starting their new job. (Which is also the reason why a visa worker who is waiting on the H-1B "transfer" is advised by immigration lawyers not to tell their current employer that they are thinking of leaving, no matter how much they want to.) But, that's just one situation.
I appear to be a dying breed. A young ( < 30 years old ) programmer, self taught, who loves classic, "mainstream" languages like C, C++, Java...

And yet you still didn't explain what you don't like about the OP.
It's still not accurate. The article states they love electric cars in Oslo (30% adoption), but in Tromsø adoption is more muted because of the range problem. "Norway" would be the most representative title.
This article fails to recognize the difference between throughput and latency. A single queue optimizes for latency, since slow customers don't stall the ones behind them. If cashiers work faster in a multiple queue setup, then this configuration will optimize for throughput while still losing at latency.

As a customer, all you care about is latency: How long you spend waiting in line. As a store owner, you also care about throughput: How many cashiers you need to process some number of customers per unit time. A store owner that cares about customer satisfaction will still care about latency, of course.

I would skip your search for the "right stack" and think about working on real, profitable applications. Develop whatever needs to be developed to solve a real problem. Most things calling themselves 'robotics stacks' nowdays are overblown and add more complication than they're worth.
