We were talking about someone who already lives in Germany and has residence there. Whatever happens in Brexit negotiations, such people will be able to continue as if nothing happened. If they move somewhere else and then want to come back, that will make things more difficult.

If this is not the case, then EU has practically reneged on everything it was standing for and I want to leave, too.

And even in future there will be Canadians and Brits moving to Germany.

(Believe me I know the work permit bureaucracy in my country (Finland); I've been a hiring manager for various non-EU nationals).

That's not true at all. As someone who had multiple Twitter API apps killed by them, I would have welcome app store level review processes. Limiting tokens (killing any popular app) and killing games that let you tweet easily because they are too much like general purpose clients like they did was just ridiculous. The best apps I know, like Foursquare, just switched back to asking users for username and password at the time because the token limitation basically broke integration.
There's probably a middle ground between Pol Pot and a therapeutic nihilism that denies the possibility of improving society.
I don't necessarily disagree that there probably isn't or should be a "right to consume" (I'm less certain if that's not actually part of at least some of our laws, though). However, "Fair Use" is very much a right, as is access to "the commons". Both are rights being whittled away on the altar of Mickey Mouse's permanency and Disney's profits (Which of course is ironic, as Disney built itself up on Public Domain fairy tales, but as things are developing appears to never contribute anything back to the public domain of their own).

That is not mind blowing. Sorry. Also is pretty broken on Firefox, unfortunately, but even looking at it on Chrome, and looking at the far too verbose setup for, well, everything, compared to how things work in a game engine?

Maybe it's useful to React developers who have never seen game engine concepts. Most web developers have zero idea of how games are developed, after all, and teaching them a little bit about how to develop a game is going to expand their minds. Sure, that's a good thing.

But I haven't even scratched the surface of how many things are missing from React Game Kit, any of of which would be a showstopper. As another comment mentions, Pixi.js [1] is incredibly more useful in all ways.

It's a cute "Look at the bears dance!" demo, and criticizing the bears for not dancing well is possibly beside the point. But I also feel it needed to be said that no, one should not pick this up and try to use it as a game development platform. This is Hacker News, a site with lots of web developers who have never made a game or seen a game engine, and they may mistake the dancing bears for a ballet if they've never seen the latter.

I feel like it depends on the audience of your product. In a general consumer product it might actually be more confusing given your user might have no idea how "any of that stuff" works.

"And I say to any creature who may be listening, there can be no justice so long as laws are absolute. Even life itself is an exercise in exceptions."

-- Jean-Luc Picard

I agree, a law that serves no purpose shouldn't exist (the only purpose that one served was probably political). That's part of the reason why I find it hard to believe there are laws stating you must wait for pedestrians who are on the far side of the road. I searched but couldn't find them... and since such laws would do little or nothing to enhance safety while significantly increasing congestion (which is dangerous in itself), I think it's reasonable to conclude there are none.

People are probably interpreting the word 'yield' far too generously.

Uber is unsustainable, both the core business and for the drivers. They've survived this long because they were able to dance around regulations and take advantage of drivers. But things are changing: insurance companies are onto drivers and governments are onto the businesses. All of this is going to drive up costs. They are gambling on surviving longer than traditional taxi companies can.

Economics are not in their favor. There's a reason taxi service is expensive. It's hard enough to provide cost-effective public transportation, much less private transport.

Once driverless cars hit the streets, then the calculus changes a bit. But that's when the competition will really begin. What's more likely is Google/Amazon will create (or acquire) a driving service broker that will automatically hail for you from whatever service will offer the ride cheapest (and probably won't even take a commission).
Yes a "sprint" is doable for me as well. 1/2 every year...
I wonder if their deplatforming of several well known but controversial public figures played any role in the fall of twitter. If you say something unpopular or un-pc we'll ban you. Note how reddit almost went into a similar death spiral around the time they upped their standards of what is deemed "acceptable" speech. Note I'm not expressing my opinion here that hate speech is a good (or bad) thing, merely noting a correlation. May not be causation, but an interesting data point nontheless.
WW3 US SEND CARRIER TO SOUTH CHINA SEA TO BE SURROUND BY MILITARY DRILL,VID -
I'm nearly afraid to answer that.

There is masochism in the world. I won't participate in your masochism if that's your thing.

A "hair shirt" is a garment ascetics wore for purposes of "mortification of the flesh." It's just masochism. It has unpleasant overtones.

An example is: everybody must chronically work 80 hours a week, as a sacrifice to the Tiki God, when the real solution is to sit down and figure out the best path forward.

It'd be fine if masochism were effective; I'd have nothing to say. It's just not. Fold the work better to get it done faster. There is always a way.

Some thing are just inherent Manhattan projects and will consume your life, at least for a while. These are much less likely than one might think.
Fair enough - I suppose the magnitude of financial incentives is the major distinction.
I think it's more accurate to say that there is some barrier to entry, but maybe the barrier is not as high as Uber needs it to be.

When Lyft launched here in NYC it was pretty dead, and they lost the initiative with the initial batch of riders. They've since rallied around driver recruiting and now the service is good. Everyone I know here has multiple ride hailing apps installed, and multiple services are competitive with Uber re: driver availability.

So yeah, it's not trivially easy to get into this game, but it's also not absurdly difficult - you need someone with deep pockets, but not that deep. This is especially true because Uber's network effect between markets is pretty minimal - people mostly take rides in their home market, so it's easy for upstarts to compete for a single market without the pressure to take themselves global immediately.

One structural weakness on Uber's part (and Lyft's, too) is that their commissions are still quite high (20-25%?) and this gives a lot of room for competition. Juno launched here successfully simply by undercutting the commission.
Thanks, a lot of content there.
US election: Trump accepts Barack Obama was born in US
Another thing to keep an eye on when making this decision is fees. A lot of 401ks have terrible fees that will eat your growth. Whereas if you use a Vanguard IRA you can easily get into funds with 0.18% fees or less.

I've used a non-matching 401k mostly to save more money (and roll it into a Vanguard IRA as soon as possible) but a lot of advice I've read on the internet suggests maxing a Roth IRA before contributing to a non-matching 401k. (I don't have a Roth yet because it's always seemed crazy to me that my taxes will be higher in retirement than now. I see in this thread they have other advantages, like being able to withdraw principle.)
If the facts are out of line with the theory, it's not the facts that are flawed.
for the what it's worth, i felt the same about gravity's rainbow. pynchon's writing is endlessly fascinating and if there's a section you don't like it's no big deal, because something drastically different is right around the corner.
"Are we doing enough?"

This question is spot on. We have this planet, our habitat, in our hands. Overexploition of natural recources can bring our ecosystem in dire straits, and us with it. We can loose so much. About time to use technology to change this. And about time to change out behaviour en masse.
Well twitter may lose employees, but is that really interesting? Twitter is certainly huge as a product and isn't going anywhere.

In fact, I do not and never will use twitter for more than reading and sso--but it is still irreplaceable for that reading. Is twitter just the next newspaper?
Often, replaced with fiber patch bays, DSLAMs, etc. Then you have the same gear duplicated for CLECs that have colocation. At one point AT&T was claiming that COs were full/that there was no more space for CLEC colocation.

In larger cities some were repurposed as MSCs for cell service.
I'm going to sidestep your questions and just remind you that software engineer hiring processes today suck.

Just because one doesn't do well under the extreme time constraints of an interview does not mean they won't do well as a software engineer. Honestly, in fact, I think it can be quite misleading because you have both: (1) good software engineers who work best solving problems with plenty of time to think, and (2) "hacker" style programmers that can whip up something to pass an interview quickly but are not actually good at design pattern and architectural type stuff that separates the software engineer from the programmer. Just my 2¢.
Oh! I refused to read that article. As I glanced through it, there was some "beautiful comparison between egg and an omelette". I yawned!

I believe you can make money in trying to "time" the market, given you have good risk management in place. Nobody can predict the future all the time perfectly, but some educated predictions do come true sometimes. If the aim is to make money and not just trying to hold on to what you've got, you must take risks and that invariably comes down to "timing" the market.
None of Google, Apple, and FB have any public discourse worth reading, or even readable conversation threads at all. You're comparing apples and oranges.

There are some people who abuse the system (who I hope you identify), and also some people who really should have the right to be forgotten.

As far as I can tell, using a US based VPN/proxy does not censor results - at least, it does not show the message.

Therefore, you just need to cross-reference the results from different geographic regions. However, it will be difficult to tell whether a certain result is missing due to censorship, or the fact that result rankings are slightly different for different countries.

Once you find a "suspicious" result, I guess you could try searching direct quotes from the article - If it doesn't show up in those results, then it's probably censored.

This process will need to be automated, if you want to check every name.
That could be, although in the time I've been here I've seen people out on those balconies maybe twice, and one of those was when they were installing a microwave antenna. I get the impression they are there mostly as a place to shelter in an emergency.

Edit: Typically the stairs and elevators in buildings like that are pretty well locked down to prevent unauthorized access from inside. The elevator probably opens into a small lobby with heavy locked doors blocking access to the rest of the floor. The balcony doors may not have been so well secured.
I agree that we can do better than systemd, but what do you think LLVM does? How would it even fit into that role. Let's be specific, I want to understand where you are coming from.
I'll tell you one way a lot of indie fashion brands, mobile apps, and bedroom music producers are doing it right now.

There are people (mostly teenagers/early 20s) who set up catchy Twitter accounts with endless streams of funny photos or videos along various themes. They cross promote and cross retweet these accounts (often retweeting each other's posts for just 5 minutes, then unretweeting again to remove the trace) until they build up over 100K legitimate followers. They then sell "spots" on these accounts to (mostly) people running Shopify fashion stores or mobile app developers ($18 per 100K impressions is a typical rate right now). I've also seen a couple of musicians "come up" through this approach using Soundcloud. (What they do is have fake female accounts repost Vines, tweets, or screenshots of Tumblr raving about thing X, then get those retweeted on "decks" - people then impulse retweet, then they delete the original content to make it all look organic.)

This is the wild west of social right now, it's hard to find info about it, you gotta spend weeks digging around and warming up to the right people, especially since a lot of the trail is destroyed shortly after it's posted.

I'm not going to go into much more detail as I've spent months figuring out this space, but believe me, there are some amazingly savvy 15-25 year olds out there making things on social not look exactly what they seem(!) :)
As a counterpoint, the prestige of the big 4 can be helpful going from a software engineer to a technical co-founder role. Investors like seeing external validation with that kind of weight.
> We were talking about someone who already lives in Germany and has residence there.

So authorities know he's a british national since you need to register your primary residence in germany. Unless an agreement is found that allows british nationals to stay legally, he'll have to apply for a visa. And the EU has never been standing for "Let all people work without permit", it's always been a club membership benefit. I can see that an agreement could be fund, but I also see that the British government and a large chunk of the leave voters seem hell-bent at kicking out EU nationals. That will make finding an agreement much much harder. Poland will want that as a bargain chip, they do have a significant population in the UK and they do sit at the table.

> And even in future there will be Canadians and Brits moving to Germany.

Certainly - it's just going to be much harder and thus much less.
Well, this is unsurprising + disappointing.

No, it does not rely on "undocumented proprietary protocols". The document you link clearly states that external flash contents are encrypted with a key that resides in the secure enclave, entangled with the user passcode. Furthermore the secure enclave has guards against brute forcing the passcode with an escalating time delay.

What's different in more recent phones (>=A7 processor) is the secure enclave enforces that time delay, as opposed to the operating system, which is the reason why this brute force attack works on the 5c/A6.
> It looks like you're "tolerant" only with atheists or somewhat less religious people.

Which totally makes sense given the paradox of tolerance: "Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
What you need to remember in this case is that the delineation comes FROM the insurance company. They wash their hands of the co-pay entirely and say "no, we+your deductible are covering this (part of the cost)". That becomes the insurance benefit in total. Your co-pay also comes out of your pocket, entirely separately.

There's no fraud, because that's how the insurer defined the separation themselves (for other reasons).

The one thing that surprises me is that twitter isn't doing better given how unrelevant the facebook adverts are compared to the twitter adverts.

I find twitter adverts to be on a similar level to Google ads. I might not be interested in the adverts right now, but often the promoted tweets are at least relevant.

Facebook on the other hand gives me adverts about adopting a pony to celebrate my dead father.
Sensible answers, thanks. With those caveats in place, what you say makes a lot of sense. Particularly like the focus on buy-and-hold and investment, as opposed to flipping and speculation.

A few more things come to mind:

1) cash reserves - need enough to cover emergencies and periods where you don't receive rent, for one reason or the other, particularly of you happen to be underwater.

2) demographic changes can still screw things up. As an extreme example, take villages in eastern Germany or Spain - both prices and rents have been falling.

3) however, if approached carefully, this sounds good - maybe too good. There is no free lunch! So, what's the catch? Normally, if you have this good an opportunity, you have either hidden risks or restricted access. Do most people not get the initial money (or cojones) together to pull the trigger?

This. The typical portfolio drummed up by roboadvisors corresponds to basically stone age portfolio theory. With a tiny amount of personal responsibility and education, you can replicate the same and net the difference in fees without spending your life thinking about finance to try to do better.

If you just want to 'set it and forget it', consider its an approach you're taking with the fruits of decades of your life.

I think they would only be 'hyperbolic' if the corollary wouldn't be true. As in, if there was a second referendum held now, the 'join' side would likely win.

If 'my side had won' then that would have meant that the status quo would have 'remained'. It is a shockingly low threshold that 25-26% of the population could make such a large decision. That is my point. The threshold should have been higher.

So, in my view, 'tyranny of the minority' holds true. 26% of the UK polulation is a minority of that population.

Realize that if your personal account's shell is pointed into the homebrew installation in /usr/local, and you implode homebrew or wipe /usr/local, you won't be able to start a terminal until your shell is changed or the binary exists.

DC doesn't have to be low voltage though. Before high power solid state electronics became reliable, it was difficult to do DC-DC voltage conversion without going through AC first, but that isn't true today. Plenty of power is delivered across different grids using HVDC.

oh i see the pattern like someone making $50k a year to start, but rises to $150k by end of career and whom is planning for a retirement income of the average (100k)... Then a Roth is a good deal when making $50k (at the beginning) and regular is better when making $150k (at the end)...

Tricky.

I wrote about it before here: https://medium.com/@kensodev/how-bike-racing-is-making-me-a-...

Racing bikes (and training for it) creates so much structure in life. What you eat, how you sleep, when you recover. Even though I work most of the time from home, it gives a clear order to the day.
