>>If I could pay someone to actually handle all the boring mundane stuff for me just so I could have an extra hour a day to play video games, I'd do it.

Sure, makes perfect sense for anything that goes beyond >1hr a day.

But lets do the math here. Lets say some one charge $15-$20 per hour do your chores(Going by the minimum+ wage). For two hours you are now looking at $450-$600/month expenses for that. If you can afford that and are willing to spend that kind of money, then it makes perfect sense.

>However, "Popular thing possibly has crummy security practices (we just don't know)" isn't HN-worthy, it's just FUD.

Bullcrap. Best security policy is trust, but verify.

Assuming that well established businesses have good security practices without doing proper review is what allowed all those fraudulent SWIFT transactions to go through a few months ago. It's perfectly valid to ask why the hell Pokemon Go thinks it needs access to your private email.

> However, the median US household has $15,000 more in disposable income than for example Sweden. That's a dramatic sum, that can easily cover health insurance

Insurance? Sure. I mean, a young, single person pays a bit above $250 in CA for a plan that meets ACA "Bronze" criteria, which pays about 60% of total cost. So minimal health insurance for a household should be easily doable under $15K per year. OTOH, total health expenses for a household would probably bring you right up to that $15K number, eating up the entire difference.

And healthcare isn't the only place where the US fails to provide services that governments elsewhere in the developed world provide.
great to know you two are back together! i think i checked skysheet.com a couple months ago to see if you finally launched. ;)
Yes and no. The limit until 2010 was 670m in nearly all parts of western europe. Block signals, crossroads, stations… need to be made sufficient long enough.

With ETCS [1] there are no "fixed" physical block segements anymore. They are simulated in software and allow a much higher densitiy of trains and also longer trains.
While SBB is highly motivated to roll out and migrate their legacy signalling systems, it's still a long way. The new Gotthard Base Tunnel is already built ETCS-only.

The compass.com link in my post, on the ranking table.

My point is that I asked for a source for your claims, and the one you provided disproves your own point of "Israel is typically regarded as the largest startup hub outside the US" and leaves the other point (highest per capita) as extremely questionable. I have no sources showing otherwise because I'm not going to waste my time trying to prove a negative.
There are lots of ways to enforce laws without using armed police. In the UK you have to take your car for annual inspections which covers tail lights, speeding and the like get caught by cameras, parking is covered by traffic wardens writing tickets with no guns or arrests involved, non payment of tax results in fines. Personal drug use is mostly ignored. You only really need arrests for things like theft or assault.
In a 50,000 person company there are way too many people for you to make any kind of generalizations. There is a probably a lot of good people and lot of dicks.

Doesn't everyone here in the Bay Area have a Tesla? I just plug my car in and forget it.
Thanks Alex, however I rarely plan events -- as the DJ, I would be pitching this to the planner. I do private events and I'm not sure how to pitch EventGeek in that scenario -- there's not typically analytics for weddings or private receptions, where the focus is more on coordination and execution of the event, rather than the event serving to market a product or service.

I understand I'm probably asking for a different product, but I was curious.
Unless it comes with a Bluetooth controller and somehow works without appreciable input lag, no sale. A touchscreen alone is just not an adequate gaming input device for any but very simple games. That's why Nintendo still makes consoles.

For this particular case I can make the answer very simple. How about waiting half a second.

Can you not see how it's bad in the specific case where they already issued the order to all exchanges but your order gets processed first because you used a different cable? Ignore the more ambiguous cases for the moment.
It's pretty much deprecated - that's why they don't advertise it.
You're not wrong, but it's a premium service for a self-selecting market. Given SV/SF's narrow geographical spread and high disposable income, I can see it working there, while it would probably falter in most of Middle America.
Sorry for the double post, you are right insurance doesn't pay for birth. But you receive a payment(wife said present) of ~35万　from the government and wife says that covers the cost. If you have a cesarean that is covered by insurance.

Also the monthly stipend is only ~1万. The stipend and free medical lasts until middle school(maybe not sure when it cuts off but elementary school students are covered).

He mentions archival as a motivation but can we trust the rest of the hardware to last more than a few decades? Isn't emulation the real archival solution?
There's a supreme mismatch between the state of software (and infrastructure) and how we use it today. If nothing else people should be concerned about this because it makes the Internet de facto not open, since most people can't afford the resources (like security) to run many service.

You would think that sending something to a machine on the Internet would imply that it would actually reach the recipient and that no one else is listening. Not only is that not true, it was essentially never intended to be true. We work very hard to try and make it so, but will probably never reach a point were it will be equal to what it could have been if that was the intention from the beginning.

In cases like these I'm thankful for pirates. When an interesting project is about to die because all the stakeholders lost interest and there's too much legal mess to deal with to give it away, it's good if there's someone that steps in, ignores that legal mess altogether and simply dumps the product on-line.
If you put the entire source code inside the .ipa, would that be acceptable for app store distribution if you are not the original copyright holder? The user gets the full source code and can rebuild the app themselves?

> And I have hard time thinking of how exactly SQL, or any programming construct, can make such logical (but not syntactical) errors evident to the novice.

SQL could do one (or both) of these to make that easier:

(1) have a preferred syntax for joins that leveraged declared relationship (FK) that required the referenced column(s) of the FK relationship to be a declared candidate key (either PK or subject to a Unique constraint) -- which would make other joins automatically suspect.

EDIT: Incidentally, I've seen proprietary RDBMS languages and visual interfaces (usually, for systems that also supported SQL) that did this exclusively -- you could only join via declared FK relations. This is safer, but probably overly restrictive for general use.

(2) in something otherwise like the existing join syntax, require an explicit modifier to do a join without a constrained-as-unique column on one side.

Having seen but never used Arco--is there a significant difference in gasoline quality? I had always been under the impression that it was largely a commodity product with the various additives largely being used to help differentiate from a branding standpoint and not actually doing much.
I wouldn't say it's understandable by all humans yet. I've had this experience where just when I think I'm grokking it, I hit a line of code that makes me cross-eyed and I can't find any traction at all and it's basically impossible to look up help. This is a combination of the maturity level of the project and also the documentation, but I get a distinctly not-quite-there-yet feeling with it (to be fair it is < 1.0). While elm has come a long way and has some great ideas, but I'm not 100% comfortable using it for something real yet.

I'm also not convinced by the cross-component communication / tree of components story yet. That still feels awkward to me. Not to turn this religious or anything, but tbh the static typing which feels like such a strength within a component, feels like it's in the way between components and results in some boilerplate, verbosity, and overly tight coupling. Really not trying to troll here -- I want to love it. YMMV.

+ Luxembourg is not only a tax haven, it's also a major EU capital and EU employees pay no tax. Most 'workers' in Lux live outside the country in France, and drive in every day. Finally, it's 200K people. Brooklyn is 5x bigger than Lux.

PS I lived there.

+ Switzerland is also a tax haven, with 1/3 of all off-shore private wealth in the entire world sitting there, with taxes going to local citizens. And it's one of the most socially conservative places on Earth, very low taxes in some areas.

+ Qatar and Norway are tiny populations with massive amounts of Oil, and otherwise extremely inefficient business sectors. Of course I'm sure you're aware that Qatar is not in Europe :).

I lived in Europe and the US, there is no comparison as to where wealth is created. I like living in Europe much more than the US for a variety of reasons, but it's not a place for social mobility, or to create wealth. Not by a stretch.
Regarding your first paragraph,

Assuming you are talking about special (or general) relativity,

Just because simultaneity is relative doesn't mean that before/after is in every case.

My limited understanding is that which of two events happened first is not relative to the reference frame when something moving at or below c could reach one event from the other.

My understanding of that could be missing some details or be wrong, but I think that is how SR works?

This is a slightly different scenario.

Here, the training is being provided in partnerships with existing universities. The program NPTEL which would carry this course material has a good track record in making quality course material accessible for free in universities and libraries.

A typical kid in India harboring dreams of becoming a kick-ass Android developer has to currently deal with the limitations imposed by having a 512 Kbps internet connections. It's impossible frustrating to watch Google IO sessions or download an IDE more than once a month.

>Or that human-driven cars don't drive into the side of a trailer because the driver didn't see it?

I won't claim that that never happens, but I doubt it's very common. If you were to take 1000 random car crash deaths I do not think a very large proportion of them are caused by people running head-on into a sideways tractor trailer that they had a long distance to notice and react to.

Tesla says this is the only fatality in 130 million miles of Autopilot driving, and that in the US there is a fatality every 94 million miles of driving overall. But it's known that fatalities are more common in risky driving scenarios where Autopilot is not used, so this is not an apples-to-apples comparison (https://www.progressive.com/newsroom/article/2002/may/fivemi..., http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1449863/). If the appropriate adjustment is 40% or more, then the Tesla is riskier than human driving in the "non-risky" scenarios. The fact that the accident here was an uncommon failure mode for humans, and the Tesla was at fault, should give a hint as to which direction the numbers need to be adjusted.
Demystifying Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality
Certification generally isn't free (but can be fairly low cost), but the training part sometimes is free: a lot of tech leaders offer training programs on the web either directly (e.g., from a company-controlled website) or via MOOC platforms (e.g., EdX X-series or curricula like Microsoft's "Data Science Curriculum", Udacity Nanodegrees, etc.)
You should try the Go game. It may have some lasting power I haven't seen yet, but its not the normal Pokemon game by any stretch. The core gameplay is actually pretty boring once you've done it for a little while (i.e. once the initial euphoria of catching things wears off).

Usually additives are added to premium which wouldn't be in mid-grade (not a huge cost difference, though). Usually this stuff gets mixed at the rack (along with ethanol, etc.), although there are older gas stations and cheaper stations which mix high and low on-site at the pump for medium.
Yabause already exists but it's not a perfect emulator yet. So right now the best way to enjoy games as they were is still the original hardware.

I take advantage of fuel stops to check the oil, coolant levels, etc. and generally eyeball stuff under the hood, like the drive belts for alternator, AC, etc. I glance at the tires too.

> US households have better balance sheets than most highly developed European nations. So that's obviously not making the impact that people would like to claim it is. The median student loan for all people with student loans, is a mere $13,000.

When you have a strong safety net, your don't need that higher balance sheet because the chances of needing it due to catastrophic events are vastly higher. I would be far less scared of being indebted in a Nordic country than in the US.

> As a significant counter point, a vast number of Americans are receiving compensation at their jobs in the way of health insurance coverage. That isn't counted at all in the US disposable income numbers and it's an extremely large number financially.

Yeah, and you lived scared out of your fucking mind if you have some sort of condition where if you lose your job your health can be compromised. What if you have children?

Also, American health coverage is an absolute piece of crap.

> Want to move to Boise Idaho? You can have a household disposable income higher than Sweden, with real estate costs 25% that of Sweden. In Europe, you can't just choose to move to Portugal, much less Czech, much less Bulgaria, and expect to have an income as high as in Germany or Sweden, in order to take advantage of lower cost real estate.

Yeah, but you have to live in Boise, Idaho. Something tells me that the average European metropolis is far more relevant culturally. This fact is not lost in the younger generation that keeps moving to the big cities.
Why are you advising him to run before he can crawl? All of those paradigms are built on top of the 70's era threading-model as used by the JVM (as well as every other language, behind the scenes).

How can you understand these tools thoroughly if you don't understand the foundation that they're built on?

Yes, they probably have been used in services with billions of users, but I guarantee those engineers understood the basics of threading just as well, if not better, than the tools built on top of them.

There are dozens of different ways you could write the given query, e.g.,

Select members.firstname + ' ' + members.lastname as "Full Name"

Join borrowings on members.memberid = borrowings.memberid
Join (
Select bookid
from books
where stock > (Select avg(stock) from books)
) books on borrowings.bookid = books.bookid

Using comma syntax precludes many of these other forms, and therefore I would not recommend teaching it to beginners (or in fact ever using it), as it limits your options.

I take it you've never played Ingress before? Because they've had outages before, particularly during some of the larger events.

Just because something doesn't get widespread news doesn't mean it's unpopular. Sure, Go is massively popular in its own right and to scale beats out Ingress but it's not like Ingress was some 2-bit game that nobody played. Half the mechanics of Go came from there, if Ingress sucked and was a failure they a) wouldn't have put the same features in Go, and b) probably wouldn't have even made Go.

tl;dr Please stop shitting on something you have zero experience with.
Subsidizing a signal serves to make the signal more expensive, and does not increase its utility; all Western governments are subsidizing education, and hurting their citizenries by doing so. Some proponents of the signalling theory have gone as far as to advocate for a tax on education.
