There is a lot of material on kdb+ on kx's website (http://code.kx.com/wiki/Tutorials), Q for Mortals (http://code.kx.com/wiki/JB:QforMortals2/contents) being the best introductory book.

Also some good resources in this Quora: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-resources-to-learn-q...

And if your interest is in the k language more than kdb+/q, then I have found the docs in John Earnest's ('RodgerTheGreat) oK interpreter a succinct, example-focused introduction: https://github.com/JohnEarnest/ok/blob/gh-pages/docs/Manual....

Irrational exuberance by FB
With the agent the -i flag or IdentityFile config option is not honored.

You then must maintain different agents, one for each distinct set of keys you want to use. The ssh-ident package helps do this.

Or, you must insert a filter proxy between the real agent and the ssh client. The ssh-agent-filter package helps do this.
Well, the best way to accomplish this would be include an animation in the material that's mostly in the written form.

I visited Yaqing/Yachen mentioned at the bottom of the article about a month ago. The experience was surreal. In the middle of nowhere, 4 hours from the nearest city, the monastery is a sprawling complex of huts around the bend in a river in the tibetan tundra.

Here are some pictures: http://imgur.com/a/v4gYI

The hygienic conditions are very poor - people doing their business squatting on the streets, no toilets, rubbish everywhere. I am surprised that was not an argument being made by the government for the demolition.

There is some concern about foreign - especially American and British - influence on Tibetan Buddhists in the government. I am not sure this move will serve to diminish this influence.

Ps: on another note, a surprising number of these ascetic monks had an iPhone 6s+ or Samsung S7 in their pockets!
UK VAT is also a charge on the buyer, and just collected by the seller on the government's behalf. It is not a tax on the seller. But B2C businesses must advertise prices that include this tax.
There is a renewed interest for washable diapers (see e.g. http://www.mothercare.com). They are really easy to use and wash. The initial cost is in fact lower than the cumulative cost of disposable diapers after some months. This is an alternative worth considering.

Because things are typically more invasive the closer they are to your body. So underwear would be typically be the most invasive thing. People's bodies smell and sweat and secrete... secretions. Clothes also wear in ways that are specific to your body. You can tell a lot about people by wearing their clothes.
What you say is true only for the outsourcing companies that are in fact gaming (abusing) the H-1 system.

A couple of months ago they published a blog post which received coverage on HN talking about how they saved 120k by performing an audit of their infrastructure and killing unused AWS instances. It was obvious from the post that they were in the situation because there were no controls in place. And it didn't sound like they planned to implement any real controls going forward to prevent ending up there again.
Probably they can get away with it because sales tax is just a tiny percentage unlike the VAT in Europe which is 20%+.

From that comparison, it is quite apparent that while Facebook may have a stronghold on your hours per day, and have richer personal data on the individual, Google has access to a far more diverse dataset from its users.

For example, there have been talk about how search has shown promise in early cancer diagnosis [0].

So as you say, while Google are currently only monetizing their ad platform at the moment, they are far better positioned than Facebook to quickly find new revenue streams, should they need to.

Additionally, if you should believe that AI is going to be a huge area for monetization in the near future, then Google are very much well positioned to be a leader there - it is no coincidence that a "search" company is able to make self-driving cars or Alpha Go...

It's interesting too because the price with the tip included is 40% higher for coffee and 22% higher for the eggs. I wonder if 22-40% is the normal tipping range for the area. Would the experiment have turned out differently if for example they raised the prices by 15-20% across the board rather than 22-40%?
Yes the USA, probably. I'm sure there are also demands for programmers in India and China but they probably have an even bigger pool to hire from locally.

> Cut off trade with China?

That would definitely be an interesting experiment. I suspect prices would rise slightly and we'd find out just how dependent we really are.

After a week or two there would be a joint statement of the leaders of the Western World that they have unanimously decided to support the Chinese action, in fact they'll come to help to cart rubble personally.
I'll wait (we all will - there's no alternative) but I'm confident that the future isn't every/most employees sitting at their desk wearing stupid glasses/headgear and getting headaches and eyestrain and feeling sick when they can just look a their monitors like a normal person.
Haha, I've done the opposite. I found it was too easy to spend money, that I was doing so without thinking as much of it as I would have in the past. I've gone back to cash as a form of self control

Digital Government is one of the great challenges of the next decades, and I am worried that we still see software as a "rockstar" can solve it profession.

Conways law means that changing software to meet our needs now means hanging the whole organisation. And changing government is a whole order of challenge greater than in private sector.

But I see daily the problems of scrum sprints forcing poor architectural decisions that need strong coders to push back on - and while is suspect Matt would be one of those pushing back, really the system of digitisation of government should be more - sympathetic to the challenge.

I am amazed and impressed by the XDS approach (gov.uk is a leader in this) but I remain under convinced and unable to express this coherently - I will sleep on it
> sending a message that caring for people forced from their homes is optional

So, they're implying that it's mandatory? How come? Admitting foreign citizens, spending resources on them sounds like a definition of charity — how charity can not be optional?

>> Not that very many startups need any in house lawyers!

> [...] in the US it seems you do? I have read and heard a lot of silly lawsuit cases against startups over there which killed the startup because of (feared) legal costs.

Don't worry, it's not as bad as it looks. I do see a lot of lawyers running up the bills at the expense of inexperienced entrepreneurs. That really ticks me off.

In the first few years of a startup my legal bills are typically under $15K/year -- well under. Setting up the company doesn't cost much, and apart from some minor routine stuff (the odd employee termination mainly, plus a few contracts and the like) there just isn't much legal stuff to do. An A or B round financing shouldn't cost more than $20K even in the valley. In fact legal bills can be lower in the valley because the firms are used to doing the kinds of thing you need.

Patent stuff is more expensive but again, most companies have no need to bring that in house. If you hire some overseas people you'll need some legal help but you wouldn't bring that in house.

Some businesses do have an explicit legal needs (e.g. Uber) if they are going after a regulated industry. But, for example, one of my startups developed a drug and got it into clinical trials -- even though it's a highly regulated field there was no need for in house counsel, and actually the legal part of that was not huge.

If you get sued you'll hire an outside firm that specializes in litigation.

I wanted to test 1 and 4 out, so I wrote an MMO in q/kdb+: https://github.com/srpeck/kchess (live server is down, but you can see some of recorded action here: https://github.com/srpeck/kchess/blob/gh-pages/docs/kchessdo...). Some of my design decisions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10924316

I had previously built similar games using other technologies, but found developing in q to be far faster, even given the more primitive debugging capabilities.

I understand that this is a relatively small example, but building it was enough to convince me the APL/k/q approach is useful beyond its supposed niche.

I'm not sure I follow your reasoning... are you implying that trade with China is more important for the entire western world than international trade with the all the west is to China?

I could certainly see leaders in certain countries such as France who have been actively selling weaponry to China going "to help cart the rubble personally" but there's no way Obama or his next successor would do that.

Yes, we are utterly co-dependent at this point in time.

Cutting trade with China would take a decade or more if it can be done at all at this stage.
To add to this:

The law market is a quickly-narrowing pyramid for the top jobs. If you're a top 10% (ish) grad from a top 20 school, you can get a high-paying job with one of the big firms. For 10 or so years you work super long hours for maybe 120-150k. Then after about a decade, maybe 5% of those get offered partner. Everyone else gets sent out; best case in that situation is getting an in-house counsel job at about half the pay you had before. Or you could be a public defender, for probably less money than a teacher makes.

No. Use violence if it can lead to less net violence — this is my standard. Terror acts are a direct opposite of this.
Why is this evidence of economic irrationality? I'm not a fan of tipping as an institution, but as a buyer, lower prices with tipping gives one more flexibility to choose how much to tip.
You know that standard VC advertising line "we invest in the team"? It's not always bullshit.

How about Europe taking responsibility for their interventionist policies in the Middle East and their support for the US military agenda in the Middle East which created most of these problems in the first place?

I assume this is fake.

To me, it doesn't follow that forking Ethereum to change it's behaviour would constitute "seizure of ... ether". There's no law to stop the Ethereum Foundation from changing their software protocol in arbitrary ways. It's theirs, they can do what they want.

There's money involved, but in that case it's similar to the scenario if Supercell decided to remove IAP from Clash of Clans and users couldn't use their gems.
First of all, Europe is not one country. To hold the entirely of Europe responsible for what some countries do is just as absurd as holding all of Asia responsible for what China does.

Secondly, many countries inside Europe have opposed US military actions in the Middle East.

There are many cases where helping others is legally mandatory. For instance, if you find somebody stranded at sea.

But we are talking about countries here, so legality is not the issue. The issue is, in my opinion, that for years, the EU have sold itself as an humanist endeavour.

There is also the issue that we, Europeans, are responsible for a lot of what this people is running away.

There is also the practical issue that hide one's head in the sand it's not going to solve the problem.

Oh, and there are ethics, of course. But that is a boring unfashionable issue, so we will forget about it.
They are specifically talking about "sending a message that caring is optional". Not quite the same thing.

Going on your second question, there are good arguments on why not being charitable, solidaric, or however you want to call it is immoral and shortsighted.

The strongest for me are
1) if you accept human dignity as an inalienable right (one of the tenets of humanism) then you have already created an ethics in which you either care or are immmoral
2) more pragmatically, by not being charitable and solidarity, you imply a) that the world has winners and losers,b)with the winners having the right to treat the losers poorly,c)that you are a winner and always will be. That to me is delusional and suboptimal, since at any point a blood clot could render you helpless.

Nope, the VAT amount is required to be clearly marked on all receipts, at least in the European countries I've been to. It's just that the shelf prices have it included.

Besides, since there's usually only a couple of VAT rates, instead of a complex mix of city and state sale taxes, everyone is very aware of what the current rates are, and it's always a big point in national politics.

China and Tibet is more like what would have happened if the Arab Legion and the other Arab powers weren't so blindingly incompetent in 1947.

There's a long, long history of China controlling Tibet, back at least to the Tang dynasty. The ChiComs are nastier about it than most of the previous Chinese governments, but that's what you get when you refute the old mandate of heaven/chakravartin mashup of political legitimacy espoused by the old empire for ... what justification do the ChiComs give for their political legitimacy? Having the biggest boot and the willingness to murder millions and imprison more, I suppose.
Normally receipts list prices without tax and then total with the tax. It's just what you see on the price tag is different.

Because the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, of which the EU countries are signatory, gives special status to refugees. This status is not the same as simply "admitting foreign citizens."

For example:

> The Convention further stipulates that, subject to specific exceptions, refugees should not be penalized for their illegal entry or stay. This recognizes that the seeking of asylum can require refugees to breach immigration rules.
