Yes, easily more than €5k/year for a 120m2 house. (not me actually, my parents, but I doubt they lie to me about how much they spend)

Like others have already mentioned in other threads, land & property valuations are defined by the state, and are way inflated and unrealistic. On top of that, there's all these ridiculous things that contribute to the property tax, like how many streets neighbor the building, etc.
I understand the desire for parity, but as an online seller, it's difficult to do that...for a number of reasons.

Returns obviously cost more for an online seller because the outbound shipping becomes a loss, and the return shipping as well, if they cover that.

If shipping is "free", customers closer to the shipping point end up subsidizing customers farther away.

Companies like Fedex and UPS raise their rates, every year, in amounts that far exceed anything logical (cost of living, fuel, etc). Typically, 4 to 5 percent bumps every year.

For online sellers of larger items, these issues can be very significant. Especially large, but lightweight items, as the shipping companies charge "dimensional weight" instead of actual weight. It's easily over $100 to ship a largish, empty box across the US.

Edit: Dealing with shipping damage is another factor. UPS/Fedex compensation for damage is far less than the actual cost to make things right.

Microsofts' LUIS service will easily do that for you. You train it to recognize a user intent (show_invoices, record_payment) and classify additional entities (payment_status, creditor_name, or payment_type). It works remarkably well.

You use the portal to register your application and enter some example sentences and specify your expected interpretation. Then you can start recognizing input strings using the API. You can then improve the recognizer by manually correcting input from actual use.

Except for those who were frustrated with the limitations of the Air (no retina, weak processors, etc.).
Still, I agree about the 15". It does risk being in no man's land.

I have an embarrassingly old air and I've been waiting for these slim pros to upgrade and rely less on my desktop. I was always only thinking of the 13", but the 15" is so small that I'm almost pondering going for it instead. All I'm worried about is whether or not the extra 500g will make it too heavy for my taste. So it does risk still being too heavy for someone who wants something super small and not powerful enough for those who don't care about portability as much.
There's no need to know the actual details of exploit to provide workarounds, if they exist. If they don't, everybody has to wait for Microsoft anyway, but the malware authors get one now famous 0-day. Instead of being used exclusively, it get to be available to everybody before Microsoft publishes the fix. And that is only in the interest of Google, not the customers. When today's Google writes something "gives clear benefits" you can almost imagine them as the film villain saying to the camera with the wink afterwards "for us, muahhaha." In this case I actually agree with Microsoft and with what they write:

"We believe responsible technology industry participation puts the customer first, and requires coordinated vulnerability disclosure. Google’s decision to disclose these vulnerabilities before patches are broadly available and tested is disappointing, and puts customers at increased risk."

Edit: The distinction is important: the "malware authors" that have the access to the 0-day before Google publishes it are a minority of all malware authors: 0-days are carefully guarded and have high price. The moment Google publishes the details, the whole malware community has an access to something that is provably 0-day working exploit. The difference is huge, more orders of magnitude, up to every script kiddie.
So you think you are safer now that every single bad guy knows about it instead of one bad guy?
I really would like to know what need you could have that is solved by making a laptop 3mm thinner.

I personally think their whole obsession by making these laptops thin is contra productive if you think off al the things (non solderable RAM for example) we need to give up for it in return.

Or maybe they should just give the user a choice.

> You link your allocators into your code so you know what they are. You see the source code. You know exactly what they do. If you don't like exactly what they do, you change them to something different.

In my experience, most C/C++ devs know what malloc/free or new/delete does, but how? They don't care as long as it works and doesn't get in their way. Sure in larger applications, the allocator/deallocator can consume quite some time - but even then it rarely is the bottleneck.

I happen to have a more hands-on experience with allocators, I had to port one a long time ago, but in C or C++, I rarely knew how the one I was using was implemented (except for the one I ported). Seeing the source code? Sorry, that's not always available and even if it is, not too accessible - not that many devs actually ever look into the glibc code...

And linking your allocator? Most of the times you just use the default-one provided by your standard library - so that happens 'automagically' without most developers realizing this. I yet have to see a modern C or C++ app that specifically has to link it's own allocator before it could actually allocate memory. Most compilers take care of this.

For most stuff I do - I like gc's. In most real-world situations, they are rarely the bottleneck, most applications are I/O bound. For most stuff, a GC's benefits outweigh it's disadvantages by a huge margin. And if the gc could be become a bottleneck, you should have been aware of that up front, and maybe avoid something using a GC, although I'm not a fan of premature optimization.

It is IO bound, but it is also CPU and memory bound as well. I say this because most of the loading a game does is while it is running. This is especially true for large open world games (and others to varying degrees), where sections of the world (including geometry, textures, audio, music) are being loaded and unloaded all the time.

Given this is happening while a game is running, it means that the loading code has to compete for CPU and memory with all the rest that is going on in the soft realtime system that is a game.
I don't care if a company makes shipping "free" and raises the price. Of course they shouldn't make themselves unprofitable by undercharging, just charge a reasonable price, and in the other direction I'd prefer seeing the whole cost up front to having a disingenuous "cheap" product that has "shipping" so gold-plated it's obvious they're pocketing it.
Agreed. If your former employer is smart, they won't say much beyond "yes, that person worked here" when contacted by any company that is looking to hire you. If they say anything that directly results in you being denied a job, it opens them up to lawsuits. (at least that's my understanding)
You just described elementary (fwiw, it is a for-profit LLC).

I think you're massively underestimating the magnitude and difficulty of what you're seeking. elementary has been at this for 5 years and made an immense amount of progress, though. But it's definitely still not at the level of Apple, which has had decades and billions of dollars poured into this.

It's not a "paid OS" in that it doesn't force you to pay a particular dollar amount, though. (People tend to lose their minds when you charge them for open-source software.)

Well in this specific case LinkedIn makes it so you have to report your salary to see other salary data, so that right there is one place where people have an incentive to add junk just to get the data.

But the more important problem is the selection bias.
Hopefully this works out. I've been doing some metal fabrication lately and have thought about doing commission work in the future. I see other makers on IG selling stuff, but the experience leaves a lot to be desired.
It's safer because now users/administrators know about the issue and can watch for the exploit being abused.

Of course the former - but only as long as I can live from doing the research. As the German writer Bertolt Brecht put it in Die Dreigroschenoper (The Threepenny Opera): "Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral." ("Grub first, then ethics.").
Unfinished buildings isn't a way to dodge taxation . You can see a lot of them in the whole country because people don't actually have the money to finish them and even if they had ,they wouldn't spend a dime to something so undervalued like real estate is in Greece.
What exactly is the reason to switch to another OS? I thought the complaints were about hardware. How the hell is elementary OS going to make the hardware better? Also can someone tell me the main complaint about the hardware, is it the USB-C and the sd card?
I've had it happen too. Granted, it was kind of a bullshit zeroth job where it happened and the company folded a month later, but it still sucked. I almost brought in cupcakes to share with the company...
I think one needs to also highlight the differences.

mac OS is built by one major player and they have a clear direction of where they want to take this. Linux, in general, is built by communities of people who may or may not have diverging opinions, priorities and interests. While this gives you a lot diversity, it can be quite problematic.

The financial aspect is also important. elementary LLC itself, has only 2 full-time employees, while Apple is sitting on a pile of cash. Yes, elementary builds on a solid open-source base [1] built by thousands of developers world-wide, some volunteers, some employees, but it's still a significant difference.

Having a smaller scale, it means elementary can be more agile in its changes. This also means that there is smaller testing base, which means there will be more bugs. The nice part is that, when you find a bug, you can help fix it [2].

Obviously, they should consult a lawyer, but I want to clarify this point, because the parent comment can be very misleading.

If you have a specific employment contract, all bets are off and only your lawyer and the courts can really determine what is/is not a permissible dismissal.

Assuming no contract, "cause" needs vary by state, so you can't just trust the parent message. In At-Will states, most of the time, you can be fired for any reason (except protected reasons) at any time including "asking too many questions", "asking the wrong questions", "not asking enough questions", or "he/she looked at me funny and I was in a bad mood." All are perfectly valid reasons for an on-the-spot dismissal in an At-Will state.

Now where it gets trickier is filing for unemployment. This can be harder to navigate than simple At-Will rules. In my state, all of the following will be docked against the employer for unemployment compensation:

* Just felt like firing someone

* Asks too many/not enough questions

* Constant quality issues

* Couldn't actually code and in a developer role

In all of the above, it is expected that the employer either should have figured it out before hiring, or should train/retrain to address the situation.

If an employer fires you for a policy violation, then unemployment will not be charged back to the employer (and likely the employee is not "unemployment eligible"). Usually this involves a longer paper trail with multiple meetings and "official" written notice of a policy violation in your company file before being terminated. Generally, this is a CYA thing for the employer so you cannot claim "you didn't know."

Protip: If there is a bs policy that everyone violates, you can still be fired for-cause for violating it. Chances are if this happens, someone really doesn't like you and they want a good reason to get you out.

But in all cases in an At-Will state, you are still out of a job.

(PS: You notice I do not name my state. Since this is an already tricky situation, assume my state is fictitious, and the rules and experiences are equally made up. Ask your lawyer or the equivalent of your state's (un)employment department/commission/branch for how things apply in your state.)

The Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada is currently laying off over 100+ (union, management and contractor) IT folks from the Enterprise Technology Solutions (IT operations) and Testing teams. All of the affected positions are being transferred to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS - India based offshoring service company), with those who are affected being mandated to knowledge transfer with TCS up to the January 31, 2017 termination date.

While there have been internal assurances that no other teams are going to be outsourced in the near future, I wouldn't recommend applying for any IT based roles at OTPP.

Full disclosure - I currently work for, and am affected by this outsourcing.

Please don't be so gullible, folks! When you see an article marketing a product, and they claim people are looking to switch to their product in droves, take it with a grain of salt!

This is purely a promotional article, pretending to be a help article. Look at the unattributed quotes it uses. Pretty sure the part about anybody switching from anything to anything is made up. Sure people switch sometimes. Sure people are complaining about Apple products, what else is new? Way to capitalize on our sincere discussions of platform choices.

If HN swallows this kind of marketing-masquerading-as-technical-advice article so easily, we're going to see a lot more of this writing pattern in the future. Which means more marketing noise. Please don't buy it so readily.

I work with a full range of manufacturers, large and small, globally. EndSwapper is focused on raw materials. I'm not sure you will ever see a single system that does it all. You may see an Amazon-like aggregator that gives a top view and manages connecting all of the various pieces behind the scenes.

I think manufacturing is poised for tremendous growth in the US as incumbents and new players leverage new technology for manufacturing and environmental health & safety. I haven't seen Tesla's manufacturing processes which are claimed to far advanced of current methods. If they are what they claim, they may be leading industry 4.0 in the automotive sector.

Traditionally, to manufacture on a large scale there are geographic limitations. When you apply affordable, renewable energy and some other available technologies those limitations are eliminated and the approach and strategy can be completely shaken up.

Going back to Tesla, if you have autonomous solar trucks to deliver cars and handle inbound logistics for materials and parts you can scale like crazy on cheap land in the desert and supply the entire country, and the world. When overseas shipping is solar, or hydrogen driven, Tesla can supply the world from Fontana, while having a minimal carbon footprint.

Is there a particular industry or product you are interested in?

It's a bit tougher online because shipping costs can vary a lot depending on where the customer lives and what they're buying.

For example, the cost of shipping me two boxes of cereal is barely higher than the cost of shipping me one box of cereal. The cost of shipping it to Alaska is much higher than the cost of shipping it to New York. In a store, the cost of getting two boxes of cereal to the store is, on average, about twice the cost of getting one box, and the cost is identical whether your customer is from New York or Alaska.
