> Well maybe I could, but my SO is not an engineer and can't get decent remote jobs.

Any suggestions for these remote jobs that pay 100k+?

Also how do taxes work in that case?

For example the tax rate in Germany on that amount ($100,000/91.000€) would mean your net pay would be around 51.000€/year. I'm including healthcare and retirement contributions in this figure.

I live in a major city in Germany and my annual expenses are around 16.000€ for a modest lifestyle. So that's only saving 35.000€/year. Hardly close to 100k.

I'm not aware of many European countries where the tax rate is significantly lower for individuals. Unless you lived somewhere like Bulgaria where the cost of living is much lower.
My personal opinion (not that I have any commercial experience with hardware development) is that it's not.

It can take up to a month to receive a specific part for a prototype, and prototyping takes a lot more time in real space than in software.

I can change a class or a module in some code and 15 seconds later have the new version running. Changing a single part in a hardware system could take a day of work, changing both the software drivers and the actual physical hardware.

You can't just NPM install a new part and see if it works, you have to actually order it and wait for it to arrive in the mail.
Is there a specific temperature about which I should be concerned? I live in a cold climate and would hate to lose data (even if it is backed up) in the event that I lose heating.
It's very obvious how special structure exists in cryptosystems that use finite cyclic groups, such as in discrete log cryptosystems.

But in AES? that sounds unlikely and really unfortunate.

I think it's more likely that large quantum computers would aid in mathmatical exploration that uncovers currently unknown vulnerabilities that could be exploited by classical systems.
Do engineer jobs in Europe even pay that well? The salaries I see posted look pitiful. Converted to USD, the high-paying jobs I see are maybe 80-90k, and you're paying much more in taxes. Senior positions appear to pay that much or less, and many of the senior positions require a PhD, some highly specialized skills, etc.
$145K take home pay is surely like $200+K/year?

It's $240k/year in Canada.

If your spouse is going to work too, I admit that is a lot more doable.

Is it? Saving $1.5M by age 40 gives you a $30k/year life annuity (2%) for retirement. During the accumulation phase you need to save $100k/year for 15 years, so you only get to spend $45k per year during your pre-retirement life. Living off $30-45k/year maybe makes sense for 1 person, but 2 people or a whole family?? I think not, that's called poverty. You need to be earning $240k gross per household member starting from age 25, in order to make this retirement "plan" work.
Creating a daily meditation habit
Exactly. It's like the old saying "An alcoholic is someone who has one more drink than I do."

One could make the argument that everyone in the US has more priviledge than someone stuck in Syria in the midst of a civil war.
It is possible to spend $45k a year, but not if you need to live in a expensive area where you can make $145k a year.
I transferred money from my bank account to the equity in my home; from an assets and liabilities standpoint, that's no different than transferring money from your checking account to your stock account. Spending money is depleting assets. Now, the closing costs were real expenditures and totaled around $4k, but I'm pretty sure I was still under $30k for the year. Definitely my most expensive year though.
Where can I find math problems like this? I'm taking Calculus 2 would like to challenge myself with similar problems.

Probably isn't difficult once you get started and have goals set in place to do so. I'm only in my early 20's I haven't even thought about retirement. However, I am saving all my money at the moment. Hopefully that helps me out later when I really need it.
They mention Windows compatibility as an explicit and mandatory goal of the project in the Crowdsupply project page.
This stuff has been called AI for decades. Perhaps you are thinking of AGI.
My experience with passing through peripherals to VMs is that often it doesn't work very well.

Earlier this year, I was doing some embedded systems work. The board could send serial data to the computer as a USB CDC device.

It wouldn't work at all in Windows, or a Linux VM in Windows, as Windows wouldn't even recognise the device.

So I suspect that it may not be as easy or as cheap to use DosBox or a VM as it is to just use old laptops.
I'm sure there are cheap places in the US too. I live in a cheap place in Australia, which has the advantage of a government-provided health system and qualification for an age pension at 67. So only household expenses between age ~40 and 67 need to be budgeted for, and with a frugal lifestyle without kids that's not much.
Haha, pretty much. Beat me to the point.

2) ???

PiBakery announced they have the new images up. Pulled it down, did the PiBakery build ( really sweet way to set it up) and I was good to go.

Desktop looks very nice, feels smooth on both a Pi2 and Pi3.

It's nice to that VNC server is now part of the build.

All in all a nice release.

Imagine if during the Mercury project, someone threw in: "oh, and while we've got someone in space, we should do a spacewalk too."
You do not move fast and iterate if you care at all about the cost of failures. Period.
It seems like it would be more important to fund self-sufficient cities here on Earth first. Otherwise it's all too likely that Marsport, to re-use a classic name, will be a repeat of the Biosphere 2 experiments, but without the chance of opening the doors for fresh oxygen should there be a collapse.

Just think of all the spinoffs from being able to make an arcology that can support 1M people with almost no environmental impact. I suspect it would be more than the spinoffs of a rocket that could take 100 people to Mars.

Argentina and Chile have colonies on Antarctica, which are heavily subsidized. Wouldn't they like a city of 100K which doesn't require additional support and which doesn't contaminate that continent?

Ugh, what did Wells Fargo do?... Oh, fantastic, now I have to go see if I have any accounts I didn't open. I wonder if I'll ever see the day where I'm sold off to some random company and find out they're actually running an honest business with quality products.
This is how big pharma works.
I'm assuming both you and your spouse are earning money, in my numbers. Additionally, you would presumably make investments with the money that you're saving, so you don't quite have to save the whole $1.5m straight up. I'm also not sure why you used a 2% withdrawal rate -- typically 4 to 5% is regarded as a conservative rate, which would be $60k to $75k per year.

I'm not suggesting that doing this is a walk in the park, you definitely have to prioritize around it (which may include living in a city that isn't insanely expensive), but it's doable.
That would be true if we found Trump was a criminal and took his $10B or whatever -- that would surely dwarf petty burglars' total thefts. The mere "is this number larger" criterion is not sufficient for your insinuation

...ways in which evolution produced local maxima...

There is a compelling argument against any simple way to enhance people. It's that if a simple change even the addition of a single molecule could make people significantly better, evolution would have found that change already. With nature we are stuck with much more incremental change. So I agree that science may eventually find some nice enhancements but they will require more than a single molecule or gene change.
What are the property taxes like in California? I'm just outside Boston and pay about $6k per year on a $400k house.
I third this.

I recently migrated all my domains to fastmail (left my legacy gapps account as is, just in case) and am super happy with it. I am using a regular google account on the side for all the googley things I need but haven't opened gmail ever since.

The only thing I miss are labels. Once you get used to how to use them, it's hard to go back. I migrated my mailing rules to use folders but that forces me to check every folder for a new mail and don't have it aggregated in my normal inbox.
The documentation really should mention the resifting, and why this is useful. It only mentions that the heap may be inconsistent if the `PeekMut` isn't properly dropped, without explaining why.

It's basically replacing the former (never stabilized) `push_pop` and `replace`, which Python folks can relate to similar methods in their `heapq`, for instance. With separate `push` and `pop` calls, the heap must be sifted twice, but with `peek_mut` you can update the head in-place and sift only once.
Nothing. It's based on the honor system.
Why do you need gross of $240K?

Are you saying you pay $95K in tax?

If you have a 401K you can save a significant amount pretax. You're also not factoring in portfolio growth over the 15 years you're saving.
HTTP-over-DNS would also be neat :) I think I would be able to get internet access in some airports if I had HTTP-over-DNS
So you're saying the key to spending $30k/y in the Bay Area is to have a high six figure bank account that you use to buy a house?
Yep, isolate lovastatin from red yeast, patent it, market it, and then try to make the supplements take it out since they're not FDA regulated.

I've been needing this article for quite some time. Thank you SO much.
It started in CompSci sort of in parallel with Bob Barton's B5000 designed for ALGOL, the work of Dijkstra, McCarthy's LISP, Hamilton's USL, and so on. They each came up with abstract ways to specify or implement programs for greater correctness, readability, safety, and composition. Using provers, compilers, or manual work, these would be converted into specific code at lower levels or final, machine level in ways intended to preserve high-level properties. Dijkstra went furthest in THE where the did hierarchical layers that were loop free. In parallel, there was a group trying to figure out how to compile Monte Carlo simulations on their computers in a way that was easy to specify. Their Simula was first, OOP language. SimScript, a RAND language, was a discrete, event simulation tool that came out with many similarities to emerging Simula and OOP. The main programmer had already been exposed to ALGOL, loved the heck out of it, and took some inspiration from SimScript.

Hierarchical layering, careful interfaces, dynamic programming, functional composition, refinement, event-based simulation... all showing up before Simula was published in 1967. So, it anywhere from depended on to came after many things with properties key to OOP's effectiveness. It certainly got a powerful technique for structuring programs started but didn't happen in isolation or even necessarily ahead in many ways. It surprised me that needs of Monte Carlo apps is what led to OOP but not that ALGOL60 was involved.

For anybody interested in quantum computers I very enthusiastically recommend taking a look at Scott Aaranson's blog - http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/
The counting zeroes in "100!" problem is actually a common high school level math contest problem. You're supposed to calculate it by hand, not with code. The trick was to notice

- number of trailing zeros is equal to times you can divide something by 10

- There are a lot more 2s than 5s as the divisor, so number of 5s is the limiting factor

- 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100 contribute (at least) a factor of 5 each

- 25, 50, 75, 100 contribute another factor of 5 each

So answer is 20 + 4 zeros.

I love monoids but I personally thought that was a bad example. Not only did it complicate the problem, it didn't actually lead to any understanding that will let you write a generic and efficient solution for "n!". Something like this O(log(n)):

def countZeroes(n):
count = 0
divisor = 5
while divisor <= n:
count += n / divisor
divisor *= 5
return count

print countZeroes(100)
This - sadly.

I also own a legacy account but google really wants you to stop using it.

- At first you were able to just change the primary domains / add new domains at will
- Then it was only possible for full gapps accounts. There was the trick to upgrade to the trial, do all the domain changes, revert back to the free tier
- Then google changed that as well. Adding a domain in the trial will block you from downgrading until you remove the domain again

I think you can still change the primary domain by upgrading through a gapps partner, but then it's not a legacy account anymore.

You can't 'retire' in the sense that you receive a pension with less than 20 years. Which means you were at least an E5 (you had to mess up a lot to retire as an E5). You are certainly higher than an O3 if you were an officer.

Presumably after 20 years you've also got other savings such as the TSP retirement account which the military matches 50% on (up to a certain amount only I believe). Your retirement payout can be based on your highest 3 years of service (you get to choose now), which are typically going to be the last few, which if much of that is spent overseas will significantly increase your retirement package.

You still won't be living in SF but you should be able to live pretty comfortably in a normally priced city as long as the retirement package isn't your only form of savings. Bonus points if you'er now 20 years into paying off your house as well.

On the Warrior Forum they do deeper depths of recursion on that.

I.e. guys making money selling products about how to make money by selling products on how to make money. Seriously.
You are not factoring in the tax savings of a 401k or other retirement account. For instance a married couple that earns up to $183k a year can save $36k a year in the 401k, plus the employer match, and another $11k in IRA's that reduces your does not count as income. Your contributions grow tax free with compound interest. If you contributed $3916 a month from when you were 18 until 40 with 5% annual interest you would have a nest egg of 1.8Mil. If you each had a salary of 75k a year you would only be paying taxes on 100k of income, about 71k take home.
I'm impressed that they actually seem to have aggregated most of their blogs into this(except for a few like the google cloud blog that someone else here noted). I'm not used to google transitioning fully to a new service at launch. Usually the new and old versions of services are left to coexist as the new version works on reaching feature parity.
This is great, but google doesn't need to eavesdrop on us when they compel us to use their avenues for our every action.
$30k/year is ~$550/week.

If you already own a home that is more than enough to live well as a family in most parts of the US.

> Living off $30-45k/year maybe makes sense for 1 person, but 2 people or a whole family??

Of course you have to make sacrifices. It all depends on what you want in life.

I lived with my parents until my early thirties and that allowed me to buy a house outright.
Right the KPIs were Google's not Niantic... there's an interesting story here that's being glossed over as a result.
You can achieve this level of control using monad transformers or extensible effects -- this is a standard technique in Haskell.

frignate :: (MonadDB m) => Config -> m Int
frignate cfg = do
db <- getDB
...
return 1

And it is composable, so if a function calls a function that uses one of the managed resources then the requirement propagates upward.

And you can swap in non-IO based instances for testing, or whatever else you want.
jpeg 2000 had about a 20% reduction in size over typical jpeg, while producing virtually no blocking artifacts, 16 years ago[1]. Almost no one uses it, though. Now in 2016 we are using neural networks to get a similar reduction, except the dog's snout looks blurry, and with a process that I assume is much more resource intensive. It's interesting for sure, but if people didn't care about jp2, they would have to be drinking some serious AI Kool-aid to want something like this.

You can't just go updating critical safety software on a driverless car remotely all the time.

Each update will need to be tested and approved for safety for every vehicle it needs to run on.

Also companies will understandably be unwilling to share their data with competitors, and the data is probably not translatable between companies anyway.

Big news here is that they are officially supporting Freedreno. Far as I'm aware they're the first embedded vendor with a modern graphics offering to support an existing quality free driver. The motivating factor I've heard for people developing these drivers has always been long term support and flexibility in embedded products, and this is an excellent answer to those questions.

Nah, if it's this topic, more like how AllegroCache object-database maps high-level commands on database manipulation in LISP that look similar to regular manipulation of objects to lower-level LISP that's more efficient which compiles to machine code that efficiently implements those structures on target CPU. Typical ORM's take two things that are very different from one another and never intended to match up then try to force them to match up. Not a great example.

Here's another for you: Lilith. Assembly is messy. So, they create a stack machine (M-code - P-code variant) that idealizes it plus easily compiles to it or implementable at CPU level. Then, they create a 3GL called Modula-2 that's closer to how they express programs but has underlying model of M-code and outputs M-code. In theory, they could go further like 4GL's did to build domain-specific languages that abstract away boiler plate with code generation but still consistent with Modula-2 style. And so on. Easier in functional languages but I'm sure you can see the pattern.

That's what you usually get out of the DSL or interpreter approaches if using a LISP, Haskell, or imperative language designed to make it easy. Languages designed to do them well. A series of transforms with a certain amount of consistency from start to finish. These days, there's even safety techniques for the transforms that they didn't have way back in the day. :)

Buckley was not a political thinker. He was a narrow-minded ideologue who used every rhetorical flourish at his command to support his doctrinaire positions. He never saw any gray areas and never acknowledged that his opponents' positions had any value whatsoever.

A great moment was when he made the mistake of inviting Groucho Marx on his show (Marx was a liberal), who made him look like the stiff prig he was. A grotesque moment was his debate with James Baldwin at Cambridge University, during the height of the civil rights movement, when Buckley defended states' rights and racial discrimination. It's on YouTube. The students voted and Buckley lost.
I wish more places accepted NFC tokenized solutions like Apple Pay or similar. Replay attacks can't occur for those that got the raw data somehow.
I use DNSCurve, which adds <1ms to latency. That's with X25519 and XSalsa20-Poly1305. Assuming a persistent connection, DNS-over-HTTPS might be similar with AES-NI or ChaCha20-Poly1305. The real speed issue is the number of round trips. DNSCurve is Zero-RTT, and assuming a persistent connection, DNS-over-HTTPS should probably be too at least once it's up and running.

And then consider that lots of pages have megabytes of javascript fetched from multiple sources, big and often unoptimized images, expensive screen redraws, etc.

It is about 1.17% in most of california. Closer to 1.5% in SF, Berkeley, Oakland. But the tax increases by at most 2% per year. So $4800 a year on a $400k house in Castro Valley, Burlingame Hills, Broadmoor, or other cities without extra taxes.

I use a safety razor. It's not some crazy revelation, you are simply making a trade off to have a closer shave at the expense of a bit more effort as well as occasional nicks and cuts. I find it fun to fiddle with my razor in the morning, and I find mine beautiful pleasant to hold, both of which are real and significant reasons to choose a safety razor. If I can choose a shaving cream based on the smell why not choose a tool based on the look and feel? The cost arguments are beside the point.
