hmmm here are some salaries for senior level engineers in San Fran ... They have a wide range...

http://www.indeed.com/salary/q-Senior-Ui-Ux-Designer-l-San-F...

Can you make similar in the fed on the low level... Sure(though I don't make that myself) based on your negotiation skills. The higher salaries Seen you can if your a Java developer vs a web developer.

Also if your on a long term hourly contract no benefits as a web dev for the fed and with today's climate/demand you definitely can make just about anything in that range.
Mosh is possibly the most useful piece of software that I've seen: it makes remote links over slow, unreliable networks bearable for doing Real Work. Speaking as somebody who usually has two rubbish networks between the computer I'm on, and the conputer I'm connecting to, that's incredibly useful.
It is only fringe / extremist / conspiracy theorist when its a problem I don't personally have (or have not exerted the mental energy to fully understand). If it is affecting my life, it is serious mainstream business we need to take seriously.

That is a fundamental problem with online discourse. People put on blinders on singular crusades when reality is the combined effects of many, many forces influencing one another. Topically, the anti-encryption movement by governments is tied to broader totalitarian leanings by many traditionally republican states in the west, which has hundreds of influential aspects in all kinds of fields of business and society. And those leanings have correlations in everything from fearmongering to economic uncertainty to long running campaigns by certain interests that have lasted decades.

And then we get trapped in this rat hole of arguing over what is "serious" or meaningful, when in hindsight we can historically recognize almost all of history is the combined effect of many influencing factors not apparent at that moment in the past.
ECHR applies to European governments as regards anyone who is a human, including nonresident nonnationals. This was used to make claims for rights violations against Iraqi nationals during the occupation by coalition forces.

Why does it apply this way? Think of the history of the Third Reich violating the rights of noncitizen nonnationals.

sure, but thats a different argument. I am arguing with semi-extrinsic who claimed that Gasoline cars have similarly complex ECUs and entertainment systems and are already being updated for free (usually at regular services).. I'm arguing that no-one else comes close to what Tesla are able to do with updates. e.g. in the next month or two autopilot 8 will be pushed out, bringing significant new functionality to the 30,000+ autopilot equipped Teslas already on the road.
Yes, they probably could. But the question really is whether or not they'd make a profit on that premium electric car. In other words, if they'd cross-subsidize from other income then quite probably Porsche as a whole would still be in the black but that doesn't mean they're turning a profit on the EVs, you'd have to break it out in order to establish that.

Based on the quote from the article my guess would be that they would not be making a profit on the EVs.

> According to the Guttmacher institute, the typical use failure rate of NFP is around 25%. Of course, Catholics have taken issue with this number, insisting that it is way too high. So I looked around and another number sometimes used for NFP’s typical use failure rate was 12%. One Catholic writer suggested that it was 2% to 5. Note that even that last number shows that the typical use failure rate for NFP is higher than IUDs and implants.

When they say "text a photo," they mean "describe the photo in your own words," then somebody from their staff goes out looking for a postcard that matches the description and mails it for you.

> How to Learn Advanced Mathematics Without Heading to University

I wonder if it's even possible. Learning maths requires much work, time and dedication. Doing so alone must be very difficult.

There are several things universities provide that are hard to replicate alone: a degree, which gives you access to a job, motivation, learning environment, and "peace of mind".

What I mean by peace of mind is that, when you're a student, your job is to study, that's what you're expected to do and normally your degree will give you access to a job (esp. if your university is reputable).

Now suppose someone learns advanced maths on their own. There's a huge opportunity cost. Not only it takes a lot of time, and the few lucrative jobs that make use of maths are in finance. I suspect financial institutions are very conservative and rarely recruit someone without a proper academic background.

An other thing when learning things alone, is that your job is twofold. You must be teacher and student at the same time. You need to find the material, impose yourself some pacing, decide when it's ok to move on etc... It may be ok when you want to learn a new technique in a field you already know, but something as broad as "learning advanced mathematics" seems impossible.

> I wouldn't argue against an engineering degree, if you've got the chops and the discipline to finish it. Generic liberal arts fluff? More of a liability than an asset - particularly if you don't actually finish it. Hope you like bartending or waiting tables...

I was just reading the History department's site, for no real reason, at the Uni where my kid goes (he's EE). Their "why study history" statement included being the foundation of a later graduate degree. Which I think is appropriate; it's great to have lawyers and MBAs with a diversity of backgrounds and interests, including history, art, engineering, etc.

It used to be that any undergraduate degree would serve you well enough. But today things are so specialized and hyper-competetive that some degrees (the "fluff") are indeed not economically worthwhile if you stop at undergrad. Not to say that some people shouldn't pursue them, but they should know up front what the limitations are, and that the degree itself won't pay itself off.
Because you don't think it's also true the other way around ?

I wonder how the US government would react if european nations were caught doing it to them (especially Considering the childish reaction after some countries decide to not get involved in the 2nd war in Irak).

Everything "works". Even our sun going supernova "works". The question is, towards what end.
There's more to F# then HM type inference plus ".NET's OOP and subtyping". OOP and subtyping are rarely used. While it lacks some of OCaml's powerful features it shares many core features such as algebraic data types, exhaustive pattern matching, immutability by default, Option types and so on. It's also arguably easier to read with it's white space significance and not needing the rather distracting "in" keyword.

Having the vast .NET library is a big plus for the language, of which OCaml has no equivalent. Other great features of F# are type providers, straightforward multi-core programming and units of measure, which I don't believe have OCaml equivalents.

My Plantronics bluetooth headset works and pairs fine, ten quid. I also have some Bluetooth earphones (Vansky), it has issues but for the most part works really well impressive for fifteen quid.

I got fed up with wires. My main issue is with losing the ear bud gromits, I thought this was going to be an article about the audio quality; not a dyspeptic rant.
The other problem with that is it makes it hard to put in place a systematic improvement process. A formal failure analysis process is a wonderful thing that can rapidly drive improvement, but to have such a thing you must first be able to say "that was a failure, let's analyse it". In a highly PC environment where nobody ever fails at anything, everything is always wonderful and the only possible change is to become even greater, it's hard to be fully honest with yourselves.

Here's an example from my own career: I once worked at software firm which routinely sent customer feedback to a black hole. Literally, there were forums where customers could talk to each other, and feedback forms on the website, yet either nobody read them at all or there was someone in customer support who theoretically read them but actually didn't.

I discovered that when I tried to use one of the company's own web forms to report a technical issue with one of their products. When nothing happened, I started asking around. The email thread I started (which was plenty polite: just asking who owned this form and whether my feedback was being processed) quickly got like 20 people CCd onto it as everyone tried to pass the buck and eventually it became clear that whilst it had perhaps once been connected to something, the form had at some point stopped being monitored and nobody had noticed, in fact, the feedbacks weren't even being stored anywhere. We were literally throwing customer feedback in the bin.

Eventually, after asking the question of who was actually responsible for this process and who was going to fix it maybe four or five times (lots of people appeared to be involved in nebulous ways and nobody was willing to take responsibility), I pointed out that this seemed like a fairly serious failure and perhaps there should be a post-mortem of some kind, which was a routine occurrence in other parts of the firm.

This suggestion went down like a lead balloon, as you may imagine. I don't recall if the issue was ever fixed: at some point I ran out of energy and stopped caring. This is how engineers get a reputation as being awkward and difficult: they exist in a world where things work or they don't, and there's no shame in writing a bug because we all do it, but when your software is buggy you're expected to admit that and fix it. Lots of people in fluffier job descriptions don't exist in such a world and interpret any hint that they might have actually ... failed ... as hostile and threatening.

Within the city centre, but not on a large road, they will double-park if there isn't a space for loading nearby. Outside the centre, there will almost always be a parking space available.

26% of people use private cars to get to work in Copenhagen, and few of these people are driving to the city centre -- parking is too difficult. That means a badly parked delivery van isn't as much of a problem as it might be in other cities. At least, so long as it's not blocking a cycle lane.

Danish apartments tend not to have much furniture. It's the Scandinavian, minimalist style. I don't think many people would make dozens of bicycle trips; they'd either have, rent or borrow a car, or use taxis. Students might be an exception, but they don't have much space. You couldn't have fitted 5 carloads of stuff in my student apartment, especially in addition to the big stuff.
> Remote work is fine when you already know the domain, but that's not really what intern programs are for.

I'd argue that it depends on the rest of the team. The OP didn't mention whether he was the only remote or not, but if so then I agree; it's a lost cause, and there's no way this is going to work. But if he's joining a team of other remotes they can make it work if others are willing to try.
No more question :-) Thanks Michael for you time, and for the link to Dan's talk. It's great to see how, at Heap, you scaled a multitenant SaaS based on PostgreSQL!

> Parallelism is a property of the hardware, i.e. having the capability of running multiple operations (be it pure computation, memory access or IO).

Parallelism is a property of the program too: if it doesn't have independent subcomputations, the program is going to run sequentially even in hardware that supports parallelism.

> To make use of parallel hardware you need concurrent software.

Parallel Haskell shows otherwise.
Why do you put "theory" in quotes? I've given a recipe for producing testable predictions, aka a "theory".

For example, if I'm right, then an appropriately weighted average of contemporary children's performance (weighted so that low quality children make up the same proportion as before) will show no change.

Completely agreed, especially with the US Constitution's philosophy of restricting the government, rather than providing rights for citizens. A government can only guarantee rights for citizens that are under its jurisdiction, but it can always forbid itself to take actions.

> Not sure why people feel a need to downvote things they don't agree with

That could be the reason. Or it could be that this article is referring to an increase in pre-school readiness in poor children. It makes clear that there was no drop in readiness of rich children over the same period. Therefore the chances of this effect being due to some form of educational dumbing down doesn't make much sense.

Now the authors of the article it's based on believe that the effect is likely due to improvements in parental education pre-school and that that may be, at least partially, due to government campaigns. I that sense it is conceivable (excuse the pun) to attribute it to the education system but not in the way the GP is suggesting.
I don't think China can't build the technology. The most known brands in industrial robots for example are the Swiss ABB and the German KUKA. These are ubiquitous (even in the U.S.) the same way Siemens (German) is in Programmable Logic Controllers. So I don't think it's a matter of being unable to make it, maybe the comparative advantage lies somewhere else.

PS:

Here's a website that I love. http://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/

I think you're missing a key tenant of the purpose of government. Of the people, for the people, doesn't mean all humanity, but rather the people who are being governed and both pay into and benefit from the system. Government being a collective outsourcing of the force required to achieve some common good, again, for the people doing the outsourcing.

That's not to say there couldn't be ratified treaties between countries which give up some measure of sovereignty in order to set some better ground rules. We ratify all sorts of treaties like that, Obama ratified (by executive order, which I didn't know was possible) the Paris accord just last week. But I don't know of any treaties the US has signed to limit non-domestic wiretapping.
NULL is actually only a valid memory location from the view of the GPU on this platform, not the CPU, and yeah, this is very likely to simply be an uncaught bug.

Traditional game console architectures don't usually have a lot of memory protection for the GPU - in fact, both the 360 and the 3DS were at various points in times hacked by subverting the GPU to do writes to global memory.
