This is why I always laugh when someone says "Start-Ups are hard! If you want to get rich easy, better get a job at a big company with 100k a year"

First, getting such a job is a ton of work and then doing it isn't easy either.

I mean, how much people even have the education to got into IT and then score a job at Google for example?

Can anyone please comment on the veracity of this quote? I'm interested in a SRE position and I was researching details a while ago and the only info I found on work hours was someone saying that, given that Google has employees all around the world, you don't really need to do crazy hours or night shifts.
However, the comment above indicates 12 hour workdays, which is insane. Is that every day? How does it compare to a Software Engineer position at Google?

I was thinking about this fascinating topic recently in the light of Brexit.

The EU has traditionally been more supportive of the rights of indivduals as opposed to those of companies and other organisations, in the belief that companies emerge from human behaviour and even though they operate in their own (ie commercial) environment, they exist to serve the population.

The US has by contrast given companies more freedom to operate, in the belief that by doing so they provide an environment for individuals to fulfil themselves. I fully believe a post-Brexit UK government will go the same way.

I think the key term here is "motivation". If the motivations of the company and individual align, all's well. If not, who's going to cover your back?
Hello, I am a hacker that works for the NSA and you can believe me because I am telling the truth, obviously. I can confirm that the NSA hates all Americans, and are actually controlled by aliens from outer space, billions of light years away, and they've come to Earth because of our carbon-based lifeforms. Here is some personally identifying information so that the organization I belong to can kick my apartment open and waterboard me for weeks on end until I decide to bash my head against the wall on my own and end it, since I divulged their secrets and 'endangered' other Americans.

It seems that a government service originally was within that "natural" framework of division of labor (which exists even for non-human species). Defense and law enforcement and other necessary specializations are obvious examples. Cells has specializations which makes higher life forms possible.

But as long as government employees start to form its own cast or a social class with higher social status than mere soldier, policeman, teacher or a civil servant the whole thing is being transformed into an ugly social hierarchy of corruption, greed and self-preservation, which is so common in the history of all nations and cultures.
No, it was a terrible idea, I just feel quite strongly we have to get on with life rather than wallow around.
There is undoubtedly an uptick of xenophobic reactions by some groups in England, even against Portuguese studying and working there (friends of mine even). There is and there will always be a segment of the population that will behave like that, blaming their problems on the "others".

But I don't believe it would ever reach the current proportions in all of the EU without the current migrant crisis and the lack of proper coordinated response.

I agree with you: the majority of genuinely fitness-obsessed, or even fitness-interested, people could run 10K.

I wonder if parent means the people who give the appearance of being fitness-obsessed, rather than those who genuinely are fitness-obsessed.

There is a large section of the population here in the UK who dress as if they exercise regularly, but actually do very little exercise -- these people buy Nikes and yoga pants and wear them around, but never actually engage in any real exercise. They're the ones who look at you like you're insane when you ask them which gym the use, or if they're training for a 10K run.

The local university campuses have a large number of people like this attending classes dressed as if for a workout. I see a lot of them in coffee shops, and even some in pubs.

Holism is inescapable. An ant is a holistic thought. When you talk about the parts of an ant hill you don't talk about the atoms in the ants. You talk about the ants. In that same way when you want talk about the ecosystems that contain ant hills you don't talk about individual ants. An anteater relates to the whole ant hill. The relationships a thing has are just as significant to what it is as the things it's composed of. Reductionism can only look inside things.
Ah, its starting to come back to me...

Does this mean that pandas effectively implements the dataframe as a simple hash on columns vs R which does it as a list? Because if so, yes, that means that they'll probably be relatively comparable in practice.

But I don't think its right to say there's a "right way" to do things with "datasets" though (i'm calling them that as a general concept for these rectangular data structures across languages and platforms, though I appreciate there are differences between their implementations). I do think there's an aesthetic and real effect drawn from the choices of each though, and I can speak loosely about preferences, style, pluses and minuses.

If pandas does have its implementation underlying as a column based philosophy, then yes, I agree its an interesting weird/choice to go with the row-based notions mentioned earlier in spite of this.

That being said, I think there's reasonable grounds to critique your notion that if you want to iterate over observations that you should have to split things out into matrices of different types. Its true, of course, that it might be more efficient to do so given how R chose to implement dataframes, but I would argue that the point of bringing disparate types of data together (in R or elsewhere) into a rectangular data structure that mixes types across the members of an observation is because you likely want to do operations on observations that involve mixed data.

Its seems curious to me, therefore, that this is relatively inefficient and the preference is given to columns in R. And I've met enough people who were also caught out by this to think its not just me.

SAS, for instance, for all its failures and quirks, effectively does this: pulls together basic mixed data types into a rectangular data structure for a relatively efficient, compiled, row-based iterative operations across mixed data types. Its in this one area of analysis and arbitrary row based data munging where SAS, I think, wipes the floor with R and the R data frame.

Now, I speak SAS and R quite fluently, as well as Lisp, from which the R implementation evolved, and when I look at the R data frame, I don't see beautiful design for observation based mixed data-type munging or analysis, I see a linked list of vectors. The R data structure philosophy of course plays to its strengths when you're doing modelling and things on finite columns of fixed variable types in data sets, but its weakness is in row based mixed-type data munging and analysis on messy data of mixed types (which is, also, I think R's and the data frame's dirty little insecurity).

Its an insecurity specifically because a lot of the real world data experience of what many people face and how many people think about data, and the reason they bring data into a rectangular mixed-type data asset...is because that's what they want to do...which could explain why pandas went that particular way: observations are often the general subject of analysis.

(or they might have done it with no particular thought, I don't know.)

The EU should have the right to collect taxes.

I'm sure there are a lot of subtleties involved here but this is what I see from outside. I'd appreciate any insight as to why the naive approach is valid or invalid.

a) Would require a constitutional change in many EU states, especially Germany where some of the changes to the financial ESM were challenged: http://europeanlawblog.eu/?p=1057

b) Collecting taxes implies full budgetary control over EU states. This leads to ...

c) It would be very, very unpopular, especially in the current environment. It was bad enough when Greece effectively had to hand a budget veto to its creditors. Trying to make taxation EU-wide is basically a red flag to populist Eurosceptic movements everywhere.

Remember, the US only regards Federal sovereignty as superior to State sovereignty as a result of a brutal civil war the outcome of which is still not fully accepted. In the EU the member states are still sovereign.

Something seems fishy about that story. Not only are special forces people usually smaller, but getting hurt is a big no no. It will stop your training and severely jeopardize any mission you're on. Most special forces teaches the opposite of "if it's not hard we don't do it" i.e. to use your tactical advantage. That said, getting in to US special forces probably isn't that selective these days with having had to fill a lot of "seats" for various wars.

The Parliament now has veto powers on almost all directives, as well as a (not practiced yet) right to send packing the entire Commission.

It does not have executive powers, so it cannot "take action". To be fair, it does need additional powers to initiate legislative action rather than just blocking or shaping laws that Commission and Council introduce; but that's blocked by euroskeptics who think BXL already has too much power and proposals should be left to national governments.

The reason EP and Commission/Council don't lock horns that often is that, when you get down to details, pretty much everyone agrees that European Directives are right in principle (i.e. harmonizing this or that) and it's just about hammering out details (which are often just guidelines anyway and are left to national parliaments to sort out) and trade a few horses. Swpat and copyright extension were among the very few subjects that were simply too controversial to pass, so MEPs put the hammer down - at a time when their hammer was much smaller than it is now.

As the EP gets a bigger role, it's on the electorate to send better-prepared MEPs. After 2009 old practices should be on their way out, as long as we push for this change to continue.
Pick a handful of companies you're curious or interested in. Look at what jobs they are currently hiring for on their own website and search to see what other sites their adverts are syndicated on. Learn about the culture, get to know current staff and their work through conference talks, social media, industry meetups etc.

See if it seems like somewhere you would like to work. Think about what problems they are solving and consider how you can help them.

Potentially improve your skills in areas or technologies you know they are after. Make something that is complementary to the product or service they deliver to put you on their radar.

Contact them directly to start a conversation, share what you can offer and learn when they might be hiring next for your kind of role, stay friendly and keep in touch.

You will be surprised how easy it is for things to progress based on being genuinely interested in working for a company.

UKIP by virtue of it's successful campaign to take the UK out of the EU has lost it's raison d'être. The UK will be (more) independent (of the EU) once the people's will is implemented, so mission accomplished.

I don't doubt there exists calculation and bargaining behind the scenes, but really there was nowhere to go as the leader of UKIP and a resignation was inevitable, not really surprising apart from timing.

I suppose - although a language would probably die out if children couldn't learn it - or the unlearnable parts in any case.

The clause "with little effort" is not counteracted though - for a computer this represents a short download-and-install of a compiler/interpreter.

Even writing a compiler may take the same amount of time it takes to learn a language from scratch.
This is fascinating to me. In the UK the words we use to describe every day times is so diverse and unique to an area that to call one term "correct" and the other "incorrect" would lead to a huge argument. It's accepted that different areas with their differing backgrounds and cultures have different names.

For example, what would you call a small piece of break baked in a broadly spherical shape? The University of Manchester decided to find out: http://projects.alc.manchester.ac.uk/ukdialectmaps/lexical-v...

Your evening meal, what do you call that? That varies, too: http://projects.alc.manchester.ac.uk/ukdialectmaps/lexical-v...

What about grammatical "errors", such as "The dress what I bought"? They looked at that too: http://projects.alc.manchester.ac.uk/ukdialectmaps/syntactic...

I encourage people to explore the menus on that site. It's fascinating, genuinely.

English is a dynamic language, particularly in its first birthplace, structured as it is after multiple invasions from Latin speakers, Germanic/Anglo-Saxon speakers, Vikings, the French, and more recently African, Caribbean, Sri Lankan and Indian/Asian migration from the former empire and commonwealth.

It is why we can turn anything into an adverb and immediately make it rude/suspect ("I am so going to have a good penguining tonight"), or delightfully ambiguous on the one hand, but the intent obvious on the other ("This track is so brick, mate, you should listen to it").

English is not French. There is no official version of it. We talk about "proper" English as being "The [King/Queen]'s English", perhaps, but only to identify it as being distinct from the English used by many others. People aspire to use it as royalty does for obvious reasons, but it is churlish to dismiss variations.

The fact that this issue happened in Oakland, that it was an issue relating to African American children in particular, that it is divorced from the reality of English and its traditions, all of this makes me suspicious the underlying cause was a form of implicit/subconscious racism. It may even have been explicit.

That said, I've noticed America in particular has held onto a form of English and developed it in a way that is quite divorced from the UK. It's thought that the modern New York accent and vernacular is not wholly dissimilar to 18th-century English South West, for reasons perhaps obvious to those who understand a little of the history of New York and its earliest settlers. Likewise, Canadian accents have more than a hint of Scottish in many parts: 1950s Canadian films to me sound almost 100% Scottish.

What is the point I'm making? It's a language for all of us. Yes there is a standard English. But those who seek to deny its development within sub-cultures and regional variations are not just denying its tradition and history, but avoiding a possibly very beautiful future.

Sure, but the article is trying to reduce social stigma against linguistic varieties.

I have a long-lost-now-found sister who grew up in French Switzerland and in black culture in NYC . She's basicaly bilingual in both standard English and in AAVE (as well as Spanish and Swiss French). It's really interesting to hear her switch from AAVE with her rapper friends and coworkers to standard English with everyone else. She will conjugate verbs differently, which is the most obvious change to me, as AAVE has a richer verb system than standard English:

a huge influx of refugees was a risk they took knowingly, and that I feel it is only responsible to deal with.

Yes and since you mention responsibilities for destabilization, I would find it appropriate if the US felt some of it too. How many Syrian refugees have they accepted so far? 10k? It's pathetic, given that Europe is absorbing 100x or 200x the amount.

I'd suggest that the Nobel-peace-prize-winning US president should actually take some simple measures to help peace and accept more refugees into his country instead of shutting the borders.
I acknowledge that I am no expert, so thanks for your time to try to set me straight. If I may ask, how does statistics let them be so confident of fraud when there is no other hard evidence of fraud in their data? In other words, how can they be sure there's no other explanation, when they apparently have not yet demonstrated the effect on other known fraudulent elections?

I have asked this question in different ways, but to my (admittedly limited) understanding, the question has not been answered by you or anyone else here.
