I wonder if the cloud runs on Linux, or just it runs on the most common operating system where you do not have to pay for each individual license?

How hard would it be for developers/IT departments to play around with linux if instead of just downloading a base image from the cloud, they had to deal with buying a license and more importantly managing whatever tool that makes sure you are paying a license for each docker setup you use?
Why would you sue Apple for that? They didn't force you to upgrade and you could have researched any negative effects before you upgraded.
Thanks for the information. As you can probably guess I wasn't that motivated to find it for myself since I was fairly confident in my original assertion.

I meant inside Germany. Will they let them in to hollow out their economy via rentier activity, giving the initial "wealth effect" via high land prices or are the Germans smart enough to know to steer clear?

Will the banks move from a country where they have totally captured the government and legal system? Will Germany guarantee no prosecutions for financial crimes like the UK tacitly did?

Incorrect. We're talking about a computer system now, and you need formal definitions.

The statement "we all know how to..." is problematic. Do we buy into the "we all" that comprises the west, or the "we all" that is east asia (which, btw is far more repressive. See the great firewall of China)?
User testing prototypes: 5 tips to get it right
The house-pricing problem is not due to startups (although this has put pressure on/gentrified a few small areas). The startup scene is a very small part of London as a whole. It is the combination of under-investment in new housing, building the wrong types of new housing (vast luxury flats instead of smaller, affordable units), and selling large amounts of it to foreign buyers as investments (often left unoccupied), putting further pressure on the remaining stock. Many other factors too - it's a big complicated mess, but these are some of the biggest ones.

From a UK perspective, we've largely thrown our eggs into one basket with London. It's the financial capital, but it's also the best place to work if you're involved in design, programming, recruitment, law, etc. With so much going on in London, it's only natural that you set up shop there if you want to play in the big leagues, or to move to London when you reach a certain size and want to work with the big players. I imagine funding also plays a huge part in the startup scene in London too. It's where the money is, after all.

Purely anecdotal, but London is regularly referred to as the FinTech capital of Europe, and it often seems to be because London doesn't have a lot of startup success stories to boast about. For me, the startup buzz in the UK tends to be smaller outfits away from London, either close to top universities (Oxbridge) or in larger cities with an existing digital culture (Bristol, Manchester).

Again, purely anecdotal, but I know a few people that have moved from London to Berlin, and they couldn't be happier.
A sweet deal for the UK is automatic EU collapse. So that's out of the table.

A clean deal with the UK, which means tabula rasa, out of the EU and then a deal on equal footing, is the only acceptable deal. That could mean indeed a deal as Norway has, with the same rights and obligations. But I would argue that this is worse than what the UK had up to now.

But what I was essentially arguing with my comment is this comment of yours:

> There are attempts to anthropomorphize the situation to sell the news

It is a matter of being "pissed off", in the sense that this has a big weight in the negotiations: the EU needs to make clear that there is no free lunch.

Since we're all sharing stories of family tech support - I recently had to give my sister's Toshiba laptop an overhaul, upgraded to Windows 10. That's it... no drama, no problems -sorry.

Didn't XP teach us all a lesson about locked in/legacy software and it's danger to the security and stability of modern computing? Why is it okay that my iOS and Android devices essentially require an update several times a year but not my PC OS?
I didn't say that there is no possible overlap with legitimate industries. I'm only pointing out that all the instances that I know about (not necessarily a representative set) of little computer support businesses also have a storefront where they are selling a usually-modest array of hardware for upgrades and such, and Stripe may classify their business as something other than "personal computer technical support". For all I know, that's why they all seem to sell a modest, almost perfunctory, array of hardware upgrades.
It would be better if Microsoft hadn't stripped features out of 10 in order to ship it. For example, I use Windows Media Center in Windows 8. If I upgrade to Windows 10 it'll disappear and suddenly I won't be able to watch TV any more.
Just guessing, but I think it means it can animate things asynchronously and independently, even though "polyvalent" might not be the best word to describe those features.
This is definitely already starting to happen.

Modern server CPUs have FPGAs in them. I was able to speed up Blockchain transaction signing and verification by 2 order of magnitude by utilizing the Intel in-build FPGAs.

Mobile phone SoCs already have semi-specialized processors in them. Microsoft's Hololens has something what they call "HPU" Holographic Processing Unit. Google just made public that they have a TensorFlow ASIC. Google's phone radar thingy has it's own ASIC if I'm not mistaken.

Being a slowly recovering Windows based shop, I can say with confidence that we don't have issues with paying for licenses, but far more often with getting Microsoft products to activate correctly.

We don't here, but I do know that it's a regular occurrence for Enterprise to use pirated versions of Windows and Office while holding many more licenses than they need legally, simply because the activation and licensing software embedded in Microsoft products just straight up sucks.

"Need to rebuild a Windows machine? Oh your key doesn't work with this particular version of Windows, sorry. Yes I know it's an identical version but it's an OEM key not a retail key."

Steam hacked the motives of most people who pirated games by making the games easy to buy and the licenses totally invisible to the user. Meanwhile I had to format my Surface Pro and had to call to activate Windows. To clarify: I had to CALL SUPPORT, to activate WINDOWS on hardware that Microsoft commissioned, manufactured, and sold under their own brand and that's ABSURD.
The well-regulated militia is in a separate clause. I interpret that to being the explanation for the actual statement, "the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

One of the great failures of modern management theory is the failure to recognize that activities involving new things, things that either haven't been tried before, or doing something old in a new way, is itself an unrepeatable process.

Testing airplanes is a very different activity to manufacturing airplanes, and yet I'm forced to attend innumerable training courses on how Lean/Six Sigma methods can improve my work. There's some merit in this material, but because my employer is forced to be ISO-9001 compliant, it's all forced down my throat without thought given to its appropriateness.
+1 to Sutton & Barto. There is a second edition of their book available; see a link at https://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~sutton/book/the-book.html.

https://www.udacity.com/course/reinforcement-learning--ud600 is also good; it is not super-modern, but it is easily accessible, and it covers a large part of classical RL - this helps if you want to read recent RL papers because terminology and ideas become more familiar.

I'm not sure Andrey Karpaty's blog post (linked in the article) is a good intro to RL - it starts with Policy Gradient which is on a complex side of RL techniques spectrum. From other sources I've heard Policy Gradient is harder to get working on an arbitrary problem than e.g. Q-Learning, but don't quote me on that :)
You separate your presentation from your business logic in React. What React gives you that Angular doesn't is the ability to separate your presentational logic from your business logic. Angular makes you put presentational logic in with your business logic because presentational logic simply cannot be expressed with the templating format.

I would argue that a distinction that you make yourself, based on your application's architecture is more meaningful and useful than one made by some arbitrary separation of source file formats.
MiFID 2 will make most of this talk about passporting a side show during the renegotiation.

> I could hop on the next plane to London and legally start working today.

That's exactly the point, and something I don't think many British people realise. (I don't think Americans etc realise it either, but I don't expect them to.)

Moving to work in a different EU country requires what I'd guess is a similar amount of paperwork as moving between US states.

- Register your address with the local government (which may lead to an id card, tax registration etc)
- Update your driving license, if applicable
- Tell the old country you'll stop paying tax there (may lead to a tax refund)

These are the same kinds of processes as are used when a child is born, a teenager gets a first job, or an adult moves house. Nothing requires permission, nothing can be refused.

Additionally, there are agreements for things like state healthcare, pensions and out-of-work benefits.

If the UK raises barriers, then London will be less appealing for other European citizens.
Reminds me of how Microsoft launched Xbox One - kinect, always on, no game resale. Which resulted in greater PS4 sales.
Right. It was nominated for a record number of Tony's and was 1 shy of the record wins. It won the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. The cast recording was recently certified Platinum, is currently #3 on the Billboard overall charts and #1 on the rap charts, and was voted in top 5 rap albums of 2015 by most reviewers. It also won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The creator recently won the MacArthur genius award.

"Hamilton" is not just a Broadway show popular with people living near NY. It's a cultural phenomenon across the United States and from my limited exposure, English-speakers around the world.

Nothing wrong with explaining it. I'm sure many people here don't know anything about it. That explanation was a little weak though, because it a) misstated Alexander Hamilton's role in history and b) really understated the significance of the show.
In what way are lower wages good for the employees you're trying to attract? While some aspects of cost of living are low, others are not low at all. I guess if you're looking for nothing more than a temporary lifestyle involving enough money to go to concerts and eat at restaurants, the wage is fine for a younger person in Berlin. But it's a fantasy to believe you can effectively grow a company that way. You really do need to hire experienced people, often with families and expectations for a higher quality of living conditions, etc., who aren't particularly interested in the youth culture offerings of Berlin.

For these people, earning ~ 50k euros / year in Berlin is a way, way, way, way, way worse deal than earning ~ 200k dollars in San Francisco, despite SF's insane costs. You just simply cannot do anything with 50k euros/year in Berlin unless you have no outside obligations and are happy spending the money of minor lifestyle perks.

I'm surprised that any of this is even controversial. The same is true for start-ups almost anywhere else in continental Europe too. To a very limited extent there are some companies in Amsterdam that actually pay a "real" wage (i.e. you can support a family, enjoy life, and save for retirement), and some across Switzerland, but not many.

Thinking in terms of "yay, cost of living is low so I don't need much of a salary" is the classic immature analysis of a recent grad who looks at it more like a program for teaching English is southeast Asia than like they are actually working a job, building a career, etc.

> As for any other product or service.

So, what was your objection to saying "used" again, if that same justification can be used for both?

> This is provably wrong: people use Facebook and get a marginal advantage out of it that is arguably on par with what Facebook gets from them.

Well, you say that that is provably wrong. But where is the proof?

> But apparently a lot of people likes it, and find it a valuable addition to their lives.

Which sounds like an argument that you could use to justify any status quo? Aren't you effectively saying that the fact that something is the way it is indicates that people value that it is the way it is and that therefore people couldn't possibly want it any other way?

Couldn't it be that people aren't aware of possible alternative realities and thus haven't ever thought about how they would value those in comparison to what they currently have, for example?

Although I can't speak for Windows 10, in general it is best to upgrade to the newest MS OS because although older versions of Windows get security upgrades, the newest version generally has newer security features that the older versions do not have, some of it taking advantage of newer Intel hardware.

I currently run Mac with Windows 10 in Parallels VM.

^ This. It's not THAT there is telemetry and "phoning home," it's the fact that Microsoft flat out REFUSES to be up front about what it's sending home, how they're anonymizing it, and why these things can't be 100% disabled. If you say nothing then your users will (and should) assume the worst.
But don't most open source licenses waive liability? MIT and other popular licenses state that the work is provided "as is" and that the author cannot be held liable.

This is probably a dangerous position as a software developer, but I think we should stop calling these things upgrades. What's being shipped are changes. Whether they're improvements or not is completely subjective.

It seems like splitting hairs, but terminology matters. It sounds harmless when you say "Microsoft reserves the right to update your machine" but things are clearer when you say "Microsoft reserves the right to change your machine, on their own schedule", which is effectively the right they've conferred on themselves.

Windows 10 (and patches) aren't upgrades, they're changes. They might be better for you, or they might be worse. Nobody should be bullied into changing their machines at a vendor's whims.

It doesn't balance out at all. If you care about being a very successful start-up, then you are implicitly competing for international talent, whether you like it or not. The same people choosing to work in SV are the people you should be trying to convince to work in Berlin.

Saying they get ~ 50k euros/year but don't worry, the cost of living is low is a universal non-starter. That's just simply not competitive. The cost of living is not so low that a person can reduce their salary to around 1/3 of what they could make in New York or SF and expect to have the same quality of life.

You're basically handcuffing one arm behind your back by basing yourself in Berlin (or many other places) because now your pool of applicants is limited to only those people who have some ulterior reason to be interested in living in Berlin and are willing to make a Faustian bargain regarding huge reduction in their wage (even relative to cost of living).
Qualified sysadmin/devops here: You can run a small Elasticsearch cluster (<9 nodes) without a dedicated ops person if necessary. Run with more than 3 nodes, ensure you have a proper number of index shards/replicas, and ALWAYS use an odd number of nodes.

What does it matter? Linux is the most common OS where you don't have to buy or fight with licenses, so your two "or" statements are equivalent.

The fact that Linux is free (beer and speech both) is a huge point in its favor. Yes, if you took away one of its big advantages, it would become quite a bit less compelling. But that's hardly a surprise.
