Deep Learning 2016: The Year in Review
In what way does the US censor the Internet at all?
You are, in fact, wrong. There have been multiple attacks on political speech, and even an Australian public service announcement video was censored.
I don't read the news to, as the author suggested we should, _feel better_ or get some warm cozy feeling. I read it to stay informed and cognizant about what is going on around me, the impact of the actions (or lack) of my community/state/nation, and to keep aware of trends, so that I can make better decisions that affect me _and others_.

The news is not entrainment, it's _news_. Yes it can be exhausting sometimes, and yes it can be hard to get out of an echo chamber, and yes some news is just ad-driven BS, but that is part of life. Sticking your head in the sand is not life.

And BTW, I'm not advocating 24/7 immersion. Short breaks are fine, just don't go shunning the world... you do live there after all.

And if you're getting sick of the same stories, read another source! There's only about a zillion newspapers, journals, letters, etc out there. There's more than enough to keep your interest if you don't glob into cable news all day.
Humans sort it later in the process. The elderly are just sorting it a little earlier.

Solve Problems, not Strawmen
China's saving rate remains at 45% of GDP. Most other countries have it around 10-15%. Savings have to go somewhere, and this is why China accumulates debt. Every yuan of savings turns into one-plus yuan of debt. The current debt ratio adjusted for savings is comparable to the US's, for example. Unlike US, they put it into infrastructure because people don't spend growing income on consumption.

To put it simply, the US worker gets a salary and buys a car, while the Chinese worker makes a deposit in a bank for a construction firm to borrow and build a railroad. Both cases describe transportation services, but they look very different in national accounts.

As for the exchange rate, it's not that relevant for local investments since China's going to pay in yuans anyway.
One hour per week seems like just enough time to spend on general news.

But what we can do to prevent this is planning where to work from, where to go, analyzing if working remotely is good or not for us. I found this piece of content really helpful as I'm tired to read how nice is to be a digital nomad, well... it is if you're an outgoing person, or if you're the type of guy who likes to feel pushed to always go the extra mile.
But we have to prevent people from just going to the middle of nowhere expecting amazing things will happen as you have to be the one who moves first.

That's completely wrong. Entrepreneurs develop products ahead of demand all the time.
I don't know that people were seriously making money on most of the script kiddie shit that was going on on the internet back before ransomware and bitcoin and such (other than AV vendors), and yet it was rampant anyway.

I stopped watching the MSM news propaganda years ago along with websites that don't allow direct comments to the stories. I would say the MSM is the worst way to stay educated.

I find that some of the alternative sites where everyone beats themselves over the topic with opposing views far better method to dissect the truth (middle-ground) than from a MSM news source.

Also helps that I don't constraint my thinking and views by boxing myself into one political ideology over another. I also don't do social media news and couldn't be happier.

As far as I can tell, they are "fat" distribution packages which are independent (within reason, I guess) of the Linux distro. The aim seems to be to get rid of dependency hell and dependency on exact Linux distro versions, at the cost of larger packages. They also sandbox the app. I'm not sure I understand the disadvantages, besides the larger package size due to redundant libraries.
Ugh, this is so short-sighted. I get that reading about some of the awful stuff that has happened in past years will make you sad and uncomfortable, but the answer is not to put your head in the sand and ignore them. If you want to feel less depressed, I propose that you stop reading news (and especially commentary) on social media, and instead subscribe to high-quality news outlets such as newspapers. A digital subscription to nytimes is actually pretty cheap.
It did but there was no guarantee it would. So you could say the Iraq war cost trillions but TARP put most of a trillion at risk.

Looks interesting and might make a better submission than the readme.
Some years ago people started saying "the only thing constant is change". I think it's not true anymore. The "change" seems to be advancing as well. There's so much information coming in - and it's getting faster. In reality like this, once pejorative "ignorance" becomes unavoidable description of every person. There's no way of not being ignorant on most things novadays. Even in narrow specialisations like web dev for example - each developer is ignorant of majority of web dev projects out there. And you can't blame anybody, there's just too much stuff out there. And that's only their narrow specialisation. There's also the rest of the world with billions of ideas and problems to be solved.

But you know, "the show must go on", we can focus on interesting things for us (ourselves), "keep calm and carry on" in sustainable-happiness we create (ourselves). Switching off news is probably one of the first steps. There are more, but let's just ignore them for now...

"Can you be more specific about your DDOS solution?"

The root cause is 0-days in software or bad configuration of mass-market products in most cases. The former can be detected automatically by many tools. The latter can, given the flaws I've seen so far, be spotted in 5 minute review by an amateur consultant. Mandating such things in a regulation or expecting them as "reasonable, professional standard" during a lawsuit would be a start. Prevents many DDOS bots as a side-effect.

I find NYT to be absurdly biased.
but I didn't "cheat" - I literally typed by hand a regex for the matches but not the non-matches. (Exactly as was asked.) I guess a way to fix this would be to make it like "regex golf" where there is a fixed time but the shortest overall regex wins... It could also be defeated if most substrings of each match were also in the things to avoid. For example if you're supposed to match cat but avoid catch then my strategy would be defeated. I would have to addd ^cat$ -- which wouuld cost me time and characters. :)

Jargon is not necessarily a bad thing. It is often necessary to be precise. I can describe the "meaning" of a computer program to a layperson but when talking with other experts it becomes essential to distinguish between, say, operational and denotational semantics. That's jargon but it is absolutely necessary for good work.
Yes, but I'm not really sure what this has to do with my comment? A Working Holiday visa is not the same as a work visa that you get if you have a job offer. The point of my getting a Working Holiday visa was to move to the country for a substantial amount of time (the visa allows 1 year) and look for work while there instead of trying to convince an employer to hire a junior from overseas.

Most EU countries also have restrictions on the employee visas they grant - such as the position having to be advertised within the country (or maybe within the EU) first with some exceptions for very specialist roles, etc. In addition (speaking only for Sweden here) even afterwards it's not as easy as going to the Migration board and going "Well here's my offer, give me a visa!" - the Migration board checks with the relevant union to vet the offer and make sure conditions of employment are suitable. In addition to that queues can be very long, so having the assistance of a larger company that frequently liaises with both the migration board and the unions when applying for a visa can help fast track the entire process.

The whole anti-littering campaign story is interesting. Apparently the original campaign that everyone (at least everyone over a certain age) remembers with the crying "Indian" (who was actually an Italian-American actor) wasn't really all that effective.

One of the later campaigns that were considered more effective included "Don't Mess with Texas" which featured actors like Chuck Norris.
Milking the western economic structure?

China doesn't operate as some charity receiver for the west.

In fact it's the opposite, the west uses china for its hard labor and manufacturing tasks, and gets back products at a cheaper rate than itself can produce.

There's no "world's willingless to fund it" involved, there's that the world pays China $20 and gets back goods it packages and resells to its people (e.g. from Apple to Lacoste) as $50 and $100 goods.

I guess I sort of understand the urge to refuse requests to privately present research findings to companies, but the moral math they're using doesn't really hold up for me. Sure, sharing knowledge and helping people learn is a great reason to give a talk. But if your talk pokes holes people didn't know about in some important technology, then getting those holes closed is another reason, and those private presentations are going to make that happen faster.

I think it's totally reasonable to demand compensation for private presentations (else, why not just have the company attend the CCC talk?).

I think if you've got Stallman-esque purity, it's reasonable to refuse on principle: you don't want to do anything to help un-free software.

But I don't see any such coherent reasoning here.
Good luck than. Maybe worry about the job, rather than about visa.

Android user here, recently switched to iPhone 6 when my Nexus 5 died (will definitely switch back when Google Pixel finally arrives to Russia).

Here are my conclusions after using iPhone for a couple of months as a daily driver:

1. The switch itself was, unexpectedly, a lot less painful that I anticipated. All my apps and mobile workflows were up and running in half a day. So I guess I'm platform-agnostic.

2. iOS feels very smooth. No stuttering at all. Sometimes I get lagging, but it's a minor annoyance, not a showstopper - except for cases when I can't pick up a phone call because the round draggy thingy just won't drag.

3. App switching via double-tapping the home button is easy and pleasant. I like it more than the Android way of switching apps.

4. Text editing on iOS is absolutely atrocious. This is a major downside, and a deal breaker for me. That's why I'm switching to Pixel as soon as I can get my hands on it. iOS's magnifying glass cursor is much less convenient than Android's "handle cursors", especially when the text I'm editing is near the top of the screen. Going into the editing mode requires a long tap, as opposed to Android's regular tap, which is annyoing as well. The stock keyboard is slick but useless because I'm a gesture typer. I tried Swype, but it's no match for Google keyboard. GBoard might be a good replacement, but it doesn't support Russian yet, so no opinion here.

4a. The only thing in iPhone that somehow mitigates the awfulness of text editing on iOS is 3D-touch cursor movement. You strong-press in the keyboard area and drag, and the cursor moves. This feature is very well done. I'll probably get me iPhone 6s just to have it (not iPhone 7 because I don't like their new home button). Also, this 3D-touch cursor movement may not work with non-stock keyboard like GBoard or Swype - I have no information about that.

To be honest I think the more you learn, the better for you but I would even disagree of learning everything since then you can't specialize as much as other people. I'd say, it depends on what you look for. I've seen successful people who are savvy in lots of fields but I've also came up to meet people who are really good at just a couple of things :)
And I say this because I believe it's not only about the quantity of languages that you know, but also how it's gonna be implemented, a developer that knows about business is in my opinion really valuable and difficult to find.

That we interpret the wavelength, or even the combination of wavelengths, to mean to us, say brown. Sure. But knowing how the brain does that, we can easily predict what things look brown to us and why. Including when something is brown (physically), but looks red to us, because it is surrounded by something our brains would think is a shadow, so it compensates.
From my experience traveling Europe and America, Europe is much more homogeneous even if languages are different.

> Iraq war cost around 1 to 2 trillion dollars ?

Sorry to go meta and off-topic, but I'm curious about this sort of sentence because I seem to be seeing it more and more. It seems like you're making a statement, but then it is finished with a question mark. Are you asking whether the statement is true? I don't think so. My interpretation, which I think is based on similar things in colloquial speech, is that you're implying a question like, "you know that the Iraq war cost around 1 to 2 trillion dollars, right?". Is that how this is meant? Is there a name for this sort of statement-question?
Iraq war cost around 1 to 2 trillion dollars ?

That question mark is not really necessary.

I recall when an economist said, as the war was ramping up, that the cost will be in the trillions. The wise guys in the Bush administration and the military said he was yapping out of the back of his neck. They put the final cost at a few hundred billion.

Turns out the guy was right.

His math included the cost of taking care the vets. That part of the cost will keep going up until all the vets are all dead.

Meanwhile, we're back in Iraq in some fashion.
I've done something similar. I have stopped watching the mainstream national news networks, namely ABC World News and similar programs. I watched these for a little over a year and after awhile you realize just how little informative news they have to offer.

Take ABC World News for instance, they throw the big headlines in the beginning, which you already know if you've checked any other news site/app. Then, they have these stories on a major car accident or one house somewhere catching on fire and somehow that merits it being on the national news. I obviously have some amount of sympathy for what these people go through, but the name of the program is ABC World News, and yet, there are never any stories about anything outside the US. And don't even get me started about the amount of commercials they throw in.

For sometime I was contemplating about not keeping up with the news for similar reasons that the author stated; certain stories may not interest me and the inevitable realization that there isn't anything I can do about it and making you feel depressed. I found, however, that I like staying informed on what is going on, not only in my local area and the US, but also international affairs. I try to limit my intake of mainstream news through my local paper, BBC World news, and their app; that's it. It doesn't take a lot of my time (maybe 45 minutes in total), I get to be informed on important topics, and see it as a productive way to take a break from school/work.

This is really interesting, I wonder if Stockholm is for some reason in its own bubble when it comes to startups in the EU. We have so many (funded) startups forming here it's kind of getting crazy (but in a good way). I mostly only hear about new games companies forming as that's the industry I'm in - quite a few people have recently left larger companies in Stockholm to start their own game dev studios. I guess with time we will know how successful they will be, but at least the process of branching off and starting your own studio here seems quite accessible.
