Да, аз уча български език. Сега мога да говоря малко. (Yes, I'm studying Bulgarian language. Now I'm able to speak a bit). Learning to read/write Cyrillic has opened many doors, and even though I only speak like a five-year-old child, I can understand much more contextually.
It does, I don't think that affects it much, though, because it's still so much less likely to catch a virus on Mint than it is on Windows, that it's still an upgrade for people switching over from Windows, which is sort of Mint's target user-base anyways.

The problem with current immunotherapies is that they can trigger a wide range of auto-immune side effects: skin, lungs, gastrointestinal, thyroid, pituitary, liver, and more. Each dose is like spinning a roulette wheel and hoping it lands on "cancer cell" instead of a useful organ.

These side effects can often be dampened with high dose steroids, but they can persist for a very long time. After all, that's why immunotherapy is so exciting, it creates a durable response via immune memory.

In my opinion the next big step will be injecting drugs like ipilimumab (Yervoy) plus adjuvants directly into solid tumours and malignant fluids. This would lower the total dose, reducing the chance of systemic side effects, while still delivering a high concentration where it is needed most: where dendritic cells carrying tumour antigens meet T cells in the nearest lymph node. The subsequent immune response will still provide a systemic benefit. For example, a recent melanoma study saw an abscopal (distant) response in 10 out of 12 patients with intra-tumoral treatment with ipilimumab + IL-2, with no serious distant side effects [1]. (Yes this is a very small study, but bear in mind response rates to systemic ipilimumab are normally more like 15%.)

Unfortunately I wouldn't expect a company like Bristol-Myers Squibb to fund these kind of studies. The current model for pricing is by the mg, and intra-tumoral treatments use about 100 times less product than systemic treatments.

Other drugs like nivolumab/pembrolizumab would still need to be delivered systemically because they operate on the front-line where T cells meet cancer cells.

The step after intra-tumoral treatment will be generating and amplifying the immune response in a test tube instead of in the body. This is also very promising. [2]

It's easy enough to take Thai language classes and get a student visa in Thailand, though they appear to be getting more strict with their checks to validate that you are actually learning Thai. I say that, because some people just get the student visa and never actually take the classes.

You can also get a student visa (in Chiang Mai at least) for hand-to-hand combat training with the military police. You just take two lessons a week on Saturday and Sunday afternoons for two hours. http://chiangmaibuddy.com/services/chiang-mai-visa-services/....

You're spot on though - doing visa runs all the time gets old fast.

I wonder what those stats would look like for 1980s and 1990s action movies (e.g. anything with Schwarzenegger in it).

I severely doubt the phenomenon is new and I think it's more the author trying to make a point by cherry-picking from already rather "silent" genres than analysing a general trend.
Rent: It's coming down at the moment. Depending on how far you're willing to commute it can be very reasonable.

Car: You can live here without a car. The public transport is exceptional and for times when you must go quickly/directly taxis are dirt cheap.

I can eat a decent quality filling lunch of Hainanese Chicken Rice for $2.50SGD (about €1.70 or $1.90USD) in my local hawker, prices I have never found in Europe unless you are willing to eat potentially hazardous materials.

It's true you can easily spend hundreds of dollars eating out if you like however there are plenty of options to keep expenses down. In CBD I can get lunch for less than $5 but usually spend around $8.

In Lisp too -- arguably easier than in most languages. To add 10+9+8 in Lisp you write (+ 10 9 8), a single 3-ary call to +. In, say, C you write 10+9+8 and the parser turns that into two 2-ary additions.

(Of course, in either language you end up with two 2-operand ADD instructions in the object code. Nothing has hardware for arbitrary n-ary adds!)

> For hand-writing HTML/XML documents, which I do quite a lot, I really enjoy the tag style because of the verbose end tags and the ease of moving blocks.

I can't say anything about liking verbose tags, which seems to me a matter of taste, but moving around S-expression blocks is easy: C-SPC to set the point, M-C-f to move forward one S-expression, C-w to cut the current region, navigate to where one wants it, C-y to yank the cut region.

Granted, this is using emacs, which really had better have good S-expression-editing capabilities after 40 years!

The site appears to be dead, so haven't had the opportunity to actually read it.

But I recently picked up a "Machine Learning" project for a client. I don't entirely understand everything in the fullest detail, but I understand the basics. Yet despite my lack of knowledge I got something to work 'enough' in a day. Tensorflow makes getting a working DNN easy, and then wrappers like TFLearn make it nearly trivial.

The hardest part of the project was sourcing a decent amount of training data.

And I'm honestly somewhat ashamed of it. My friends think it's cool, but really I don't feel like I did anything. I just glued a library together.

But maybe that's the interesting bit, that frameworks have been developed to a point that even a rube like me can get something working in a day.

>I'm not sure where you are getting this from. The mcmansion trend hit the bay area just as much as it hit anywhere else. The burbs are 20-30 minutes away with tech worker job hours.

Searching for rentals within the actual city limits. Burbs are fine but already addressed; generally you are looking at 1 hour+ commutes before it starts to get into "affordable" range (looking at 1.5x-2.5x the median cost for comparable housing in other metros).

In LA and SEA, it seems it's possible to find housing that's closer than 1 hours' commute for 2.5x-4.5x the national median.

In NYC and SF, it doesn't appear that way -- these areas are so dense that it's not possible to get a 2500 sq ft home within 1 hours' commute (meaning freestanding homes that have a yard, not condos/apartments; such homes actually appear to be so rare within city limits that you'd have difficulty getting them no matter how much money you were willing to spend). That's why I singled them out. I'm talking about a rush hour commute here, the need to get to work to do a 9-5. For example, I know Daly City is only a few miles from SF proper, but that doesn't mean you can get doorstep-to-doorstep in under an hour given the transit conditions.

I've never lived in either SF or NYC so it's completely possible that I'm making an incorrect extrapolation here.

>The 2500 sqft homes here cost a million dollars, so your mortgage cancels out the additional bay area income. But that mortgage money doesn't go into a black hole, it's equity. So at the end of the day you can sell your bay area house, go back to oklahoma, and buy ten houses. This is probably the best opportunity going in the world right now to build dynastic wealth.

This is a good idea if you can get the timing right.

Mint gets recommended a lot for people wanting to switch over from Windows. I'd say even more recommendations than Ubuntu, because of the more Windows-like interface.

Also just in general, Ubuntu is more well-known outside of the Linux-microcosm, so people don't need to look it up as much, and the more advanced distros like Debian, Fedora, openSUSE probably don't get looked up as much, because if you want to switch to one of those, you usually already know why you want to use them.

This highly depends on the nature of your organization and how many developers you're dealing with. I've seen it quickly break down once you reach more than 3 products and more than 15 devs.

Otherwise, at some point, you need a group of people (devs or otherwise) to sit down, define how these things are done for everyone, get group buy-in, then build the thing that puts their things in live environment.
I have a fairly good accent, but I also have a good ear for copying other people and impressions. My accent certainly isn't a typical British/American accent speaking German. The common mistakes are in pronouncing letters in an English way, rather than a German way.

That being said, intonation is relatively easy in German once you understand that all letters in German are always spoken in the same way, and always pronounced (no hidden letters), so once you have the grasp of the alphabet you can pretty much pronounce anything. In other words "Hochdeutsch" (high German) is fairly easy to get to grips with.

The hardest thing is German is the grammar. You simply have to learn the articles and tenses. Even Germans sometimes make mistakes with the articles (der, die, das, etc), which can change based on the tense, verb and base article.

For many English first language speakers, the lack of English grammar knowledge is a stumbling block to learning another language (it was in my case anyway).

One point to mention is that Germans seem to be particularly accommodating to my German language failures, impressed simply that I can converse in German. I am however white Caucasian and British. I'm not sure that same would apply if I was from Tunisia and black. In other words, I'm not sure if I have an observational bias. Other nationalities and cultures may have a vastly different experience to me.
Sure, that's the big problem in automation of many endeavours - we can automate things where it's objectively clear what's right and wrong, however if the criteria for "good X" is literally "X that humans would like" (e.g. all art) then you pretty much need a human in the loop, or try to simulate a human listener as opposed to a human composer.

If we had a magical black box oracle that could tell us that variation A is "5 good" and variation B is "5.5 good", then that would be sufficient to implement a system that makes a lot of great art. But we don't, and possibly can't without strong AI or something like that.

I moved to Amsterdam with my wife and kid eight months ago.

(I'm American, from Chicago, and I run Soundslice, soundslice.com.)

We chose Amsterdam because:

* The DAFT program makes it easy for American business owners to get a Dutch visa.

* Everybody speaks English (which is a double-edged sword, because it's tough to learn/practice Dutch!).

* The biking is second-to-none. I'm spoiled for life.

* It's safe. I feel much safer than the U.S.

* It's beautiful.

* Great scene for Django music (gypsy jazz), which I play.

* Easy travel to other parts of Europe.

* It's very international -- in day-to-day life I meet people from all over Europe and the world. A very cool experience (especially for an American).

* Liberal policies make for a culture that we personally agree with more, even compared to liberal Chicago.

As for weather, people complain about it -- but it's better than Chicago. So it's a net win. :-)
Diffing streams on the terminal
I don't think it's 24/7, but c-base is one fine hackerspace.
I do. I think the most important question is: If your business is truly location independent and you don't have other reasons to be in HK, why choose to locate it in the city with the world's most expensive real estate?

There are many things I love about HK, but the control of the property market by a cartel of local families permeates every aspect of life.

There's zero sales tax in HK and goods are manufactured nearby, and yet a nice TV from a retail electronics store will cost you double what you'd pay in the US, because they need to cover the rent.

Even something simple like finding a cafe to sit down, enjoy a coffee and read the paper becomes a nearly impossible challenge at times given the inability of a cafe to support its exorbitant rent from customers spending an hour sitting around.

To put some numbers on it, the average rental per per square foot at the high end is $0.55/hour [1]. Assuming you're serving customers 12 hours a day, and you have nothing but customer seating, with one square meter per person, that's $12/hour in rent alone for every seat.

Without zoning, the highest bidder wins. So food and beverage have been pushed up into the high floors of office buildings where rents are cheaper, and the pedestrian areas are instead lined with jewelry and watch shops.

Although HK has a lot of nice forest (as only 25% of the land is developed), within the developed areas, this is what passes for a park:

https://www.google.com/maps/@22.2753215,114.171373,3a,37.5y,...

There are many great things about HK, but it's important to be aware of the space issue.

It is super-impressive, but peoples expectations are also massively higher because more and more people have become accustomed to things that were "crazy" 15-30 years ago.

Even so, to paraphrase William Gibson, the future is not very well distributed.

On one hand people expect miracles and are not very impressed with systems that are incredibly impressive. On the other hand I've been showing some a side-project that mostly just uses a basic Bayesian model that people get impressed by seemingly because it's in an area where they are used to poor results (I'm using it for a very basic text categorisation problem).

People in general appear to be very bad at extrapolating possibilities and mostly judge these things based on what they're used to rather than any assessment of what "ought" to be possible.
Okay thanks. There is also a German-language news article here: https://netzpolitik.org/2016/12-millionen-euro-fuer-open-sou...

They give you up to 30k for 6 months, and it is funded by the German ministry of education. Their strive for a very easy application process where you just need to write an email and send a link of your open source project, and a list of goals you want to achieve with the money.

So it passes the smell test and seems like a great opportunity for European oss devs. I couldn't find any info which explicitly states that projects outside the EU might be funded.

I don't make anywhere near that, but yes of course, it's much better to be asked specifically for niche expertise than having to compete with everybody who can use Chrome to look up job sites over generic 'programmer' jobs. There are several strategies to get high-paying jobs, and 'networking hard to get an in that is not public' is an underappreciated one. But just because that process is by its nature not public, doesn't make it not common.
It's approaching zero yes but is that a bad/unexpected thing, given the plot? Bourne spends the overwhelming majority of his time alone/fighting off hostiles except for two very short-lived moments. There was nobody for him to have a dialogue with and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Alicia Vikander's character on the other hand was in a position that allowed for plenty of dialogue and she did have it, she was involved in most of the plot exposition. Hell, I suspect her time-on-screen comes close to Bourne's.

I just feel that criticizing a film just because the titular character doesn't speak much is a bad practice because there are situations where that's appropriate. Showing over telling is something that should be cherished. I'd rather criticize JB for doing very little towards advancing the Bourne story overall.
