I'd say that every major city across the continents have a supply shortage, that's the nature of cities, but I haven't heard of any city in Europe not affordable to live in for the middle class. Surely the good 'ol supply & demand are influencing the pricing, but I believe there must be something external that has caused this.
How to ask good questions
The Washington Post corrected their story. This is a key differentiator for higher quality publications. They try to get it right but if they don't, they must prompty correct their article.

The article from The Intercept comes across as more alarmist than the original one from the Post. The second paragraph reads:

> While the Russians did not actively use the code to disrupt operations, according to officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a security matter, the discovery underscores the vulnerabilities of the nation’s electrical grid.

There's a nuance that seems to be lost in Greenwald's interpretation of the article.
+1 I freaked out when I saw it. Blacklists are just asking to get hacked.
This quote

“I feel rushed, nothing gets done properly; there is very little joy, and no time for reflection or creative thinking (in order to create meaningful activities for students).”

seems to me to express both the current trend, and why citizens should care. If highly educated and capable people feel that way, you can expect them to migrate away.
Most internationalization these days goes through things like transifex. Becoming a translator on a specific project is not completely unlikely if you want to target it.
Everything is a process. We've spent under $1 million so far. And we've produced an ADAS system that surpasses all other manufacturers besides Tesla. Oh and we give it away for free.

The author is both a spectacular commentator and a great writer. We need more like this excellent article.
Note that USA citizens living abroad, no matter for how long, are required to pay USA income tax. The only way out of this parasitic arrangement is to give up your citizenship. The USA charges hefty fees for citizenship renouncement. They know you're doing it for money and want to squeeze something out of you before you get away for good.
Fish Seek Cooler Waters, Leaving Some Fishermen’s Nets Empty
I don't want to go into how I got the visa, but I will say that most people get friends with German companies (even single person companies) to write contracts for them :) The contract simply has to state the project, date of future employment, and how much you will be paid upon completion.

The contract can be for future dates. Does not need to be a project that is currently paying you.

I had one German company and one US company. I think it's safer to have at least one German company.

Sure thing, contact me if you need advice. I haven't been through the process in a couple of years but expats talk about it a lot.
Right. I was focusing on the extreme ends of the spectrum to sharpen the contrast.
> don't normally have side effects in non-pathological code

so, "be careful with it if you can't make sure code isn't non-pathological or friendly", what the article says.
Trump had no legislatively voting history or any really coherent policies so all that was left was his character.
When climate change discussion was ripe, I saw evidence of mass manipulation via fake profiles on Yahoo news. It was so obvious and disgusting that I stopped reading commentary on news sites and eventually news entirely. I also see patterns of suspicious behavior on Reddit that could be attributed to social experiments by programs such as discussed in the article. I have no doubt political agendas are promoted through such programs all the time. Several years ago it was already as simple as having access to the right forums and you could get your hands on software for FB mass account creation which could be used for herding. It's really scary how much influence a single individual can possess online with the right tools and how easy it is to manipulate people. Imagine having access to 10 million pairs of eyeballs to manipulate as you please - such is possible on Facebook.
2017 Will Be the Year Tesla Reigns Supreme–Or Finally Flops
Oh, come on. You appear to either be unaware of the DNC's leaked emails before the convention, or are refusing to accept the information that is available and understand what I'm saying. There is a host of internal communication leaked specifically covering the internal conversations of DNC leadership focused on plans to scuttle Sanders campaign and candidacy throughout the primaries. The leaks were then added to the lawsuit that was being brought against the DNC and DWS on the eve of the convention. You can easily look this information up. It's neither absurd nor an out-of-control narrative. The actions people care about on this issue (which are separate from the election leaks people are currently talking about) are the ones that occurred within the DNC.
> The MSM is becoming increasingly irrelevant, social media and independent journalists who are on Twitter and various blogs are becoming more relevant.

I would hardly call this a fix. The MSM is certainly unreliable, but "twitter and various blogs" are even less so.
It's fundamental: any culture which doesn't have a place for families with 3+ children is unsustainable. You can hope to make up the shortfall with immigration, but that's just kicking the can down the road. At some point your have to depend on your own harvest, not the surplus of your neighbors.
It ultimately boils down to simple supply and demand. Want to live in a nice, walkable medium density neighbourhood with good amenities? Sorry, America stopped building those 60 years ago. Why did we stop building them, and why can't we build more now? The answer to that is long, convoluted and tragic.
Even by that token, they should have taken a different angle on Trump. The guy is shameless, most of his dealings are out there for everyone to see, and they take the one angle that couldn't be proven - that he's racist, based on what, comments about illegal immigration?

Had they not stacked the deck against Sanders, they'd have a principled, likeable candidate in the general, and then they could have used the angle of Trump being unprincipled. Unfortunately Hillary is equally unprincipled, and less likeable.

The thought relates to going back and refining your original theory such that:

1. You create a hypothesis

2. Prove your theory

3. Publish your theory (and maybe discovery)

Most of the time it ends here. It should continue this way:

4. Practically apply your theory

5. Create a product or widget founded on your theory

6. Put this product into the hands of consumers

7. Make observations and watch how customers/consumers use it in ways you could never predict

8. Use this data to go back and refine your original theory and start the cycle over again.
On the other hand, Stuxnet.
Anyone who actually believes your consulting tales is a remarkable sucker.
With the scare quotes, I was drawing a distinction between the pre-Trump Republican establishment [meaning the incumbent Republican leadership along with the ideas that they stumped on to get into that position], and Trump. Trump is very different than the pre-Trump Republican establishment, and they clearly preferred other candidates (principally, Marco Rubio).

There were clearly vast distances between the Pre-Trump Republican establishment, and the Republican electorate, and so it would make sense for the post-Trump Republican establishment to move in Trump's direction. That process is currently nascent, and the differences have, if reports are anything to go on, yet to have shaken out.

Because of the way Trump operates, and because of the populist shift of the Republican electorate, I'd expect Trump to win most of the internal battles on spending. The winds are at his back. He will probably also flip many Republicans who previously positioned themselves as staunch fiscal hawks.

I could see delivery drones for last-mile drop offs... imagine delivery trucks as automated machines with a small swarm of drones (4-6) per truck.. the truck drives a route on the main street(s), while the drones do the drop-off to the door.

It could work in that scenario... My biggest thought for drones, is it won't work from the distribution centers, simply because they are too far out from a lot of the drop off locations.. but combined with trucks, you could have the trucks drive less in-out, and drones for drop off. Would need a handler in addition to a driver though, depending on automation capability.

This would also need to be supplemented with uber-like service for deliveries that don't fit well for drone drops.

I'll have inject a remark viz one of your hyopotheses. IQ tests are absolute bollocks - especially if gauging potential ability to teach.
The Washington Post, is a national media institution who has had their press credentials revoked by Trump. Therefore the organization, by definition, at a disadvantage, when it comes to gaining CONTEXT about the subject of their reporting. Thus, The Washington Post is mired in CONTROVERSY. This is only natural.

People misinterpret each other's text messages and internet comments, often with CONTROVERSIAL outcomes, because the initiator of the message has failed to provide sufficient CONTEXT. This is only natural.

The entire aviation industry vilified Captain Sullenberger, even though he had just saved 155 peoples lives, because everyone investigating the incident lacked sufficient CONTEXT to explain to themselves, and each other how Sully was able to accomplish something that had never happened in the history of aviation. Captain Sullenberger did, in fact, possess sufficient CONTEXT, which he gained over a long career of landing other failing airplaines. This CONTEXT possessed by Sullenberger, at least as portrayed in the movie, is written all over Tom Hanks face in the form of a stiff upper lip. That guy was as cool as the other side of the pillow the whole time, before, during, and after his water landing. Once sufficient CONTEXT was provided, the CONTROVERSY immediately subsided. This is only natural.

The United States of America is at a fairly CONTROVERSIAL point in its history. I wonder, if American's sought out the true CONTEXT of the people they find the most CONTROVERSIAL, their political opponents, if said CONTROVERSY would naturally subside.

Find someone you disagree with, and see how long you can keep talking to them.

As a medium, Twitter is unreliable. When you take the entirety of social media, the fact pictures and video can be taken in real time, you can then come to a conclusion that is close to the truth.
I tend to use the old style ("%s" % "lel"). Just wondering, does this affect that too?
Yikes. Do you realize how useful it is to have a single consistent formatting for source code? It eliminates an entire class of arguments. Or do you enjoy arguing about tabs and spaces, and when to make newlines?

You are already making a mistake that Europe is a single country, so I'm getting that you never visited it.

Europe is a continent with many countries speaking different languages, with different cultures.

You should be more specific where you want to go.
Ireland is richer than the US. Bulgaria is poorer than China. That's the gap.

Here we go again. Sad that James Kwak ruined his own article because he can't control throwing in his political bias.
Will take a look, though some stuff I want through (mainly disqus, etc).
I've read and analyzed a large number of stories on IndieHackers and not a single one mentioned the name being an issue, or something they wished they had changed.

There probably are a few stories out there of companies rebranding successfully and meaningfully, but it doesn't seem to matter that much in the general case.

Just because they failed doesn't mean it wasn't an attack.
That's exactly why I'm referring, and is not even the only point. We could even talk about invading other countries. It seems obvious that it could be another card to hold in any future negotiations. I just noticed it in the map that they will control it and got curious. I don't know how is it propaganda.
From my experience, biggest weakness about memcache is that client libraries for it are crappy or at least the one for java. Otherwise it seems like it is great for what it is (a memory cache).

Redis rides a bit on its hype IMO, and I see that sometimes it is not used correctly.
Fair enough - we're talking about Russia, not Putin. But neither have anything to do with Democrats.
There's more than enough real news to be upset about. With all the focus on email hacking, why no furor over the stolen $100mn?

In the meantime we hear sob stories about the consulate chef being deported. Poor guy! Hard to feel bad when he's got 9 digits stashed in a Swiss account.

This is not very informative. You should provide some examples there.
Greenwald is like Assange in that regard. He's more interested in scoring points against the bad guys than doing a public service. Any public service he has provided in the past is purely coincidental.

> I don't know how much you know about hacking

That's a very condescending tone.
AFAIK this is not quite right. They take only 1/4th of a cycle on average, but that is because of pipelining. if you have a dependency on the result of an ALU you will still have to wait the full latency (1 cycle) before you can continue.

This makes sense as the clock is also somewhat of the 'driving force' for pushing signals through the chip from one part to the other. (some architectures have 'zero cost' operations I believe, but these are usually baked into the pipeline and have to be turned on-or-off depending on need).
Like PHP and JS's template literals, it has full on string interpolation.
Isn't malware on some worker's laptop a common way of penetrating disconnected networks? Not that it matters, as it serves the agenda equally well being either a "false" or a "true" story. Seems like calling Russia out on covert operations was too scary for them, so they chose hacking as a more acceptable thing.
Not even C++ has good interop with C++, given how underspecified it is. Is that library built with MinGW or with Visual Studio?
Thanks for the clarification, and yes, T1 Diabetes is dangerous.
Journalism isn't about "demanding verification" it's about getting it for yourself, and waiting until you have it before writing an article.

Also, him saying "false story" is, itself false, because the the facts are objectively true. Officials did say what they were quoted as saying, and the NYT changed the headline shortly after publishing the story, which is (like it or not) common practice in the industry. Glenn was party to it himself while at The Guardian.

It's just "weird" to me that there's a faction of people out there who don't believe that Russia infiltrated the DNC, and I think it's because they're politically motivated to not believe this to be the case.

There's never been such an ignorance driving security news before. It's alarming and completely out of left field.
Yes - that's because they don't have a supply problem; they don't do stupid things like zone their cities to prioritize single family detached homes. European cities are dense and if we want North American cities to be similarly liveable, we need to rezone to allow greater density and increased supply.
Why Only Americans Are Interested in the Hunt for Alien Life
On the other hand, Sunil Tripathi and Pizzagate.
Wouldn't it be smarter to just make use of his U.S. citizenship, contract for a Silicon Valley startup, make like $100k, and just travel in and out of the Eurozone whenever necessary to still be considered a tourist? Seems like he'd probably net around $2k a month after taxes doing that.
Exactly, there may well be a lot more manufacture and assembly here in the US, but that's to support US deliveries with lower-cost shipments of final products. And most of that is automated, which is what allows US mfg to compete with overseas.
The nice thing about the new format is that you can reverse the order of the variables inside the string, which is nice when you're localizing strings into languages with a reversed sentence structures, like Japanese. I haven't done a ton of Python, but the old style won't let you do that, will it?
Putin has had journalists killed.

He's invaded territory of other countries.

He's authorized the bombing of civilian areas in Syria.

You might think the evidence that the journalists were killed by Russia is inflated. You might think the Russians living in Ukraine deserve to live under the rule of mother Russia. You might not think there are civilians among the Syrian rebels. But I'm pretty sure that those things at least meet the bar of real criticism.
Off topic but: is anyone freelancing from Japan? I may be doing this soon and have so many questions for someone who is currently doing this!
> I am pretty skeptical about the extent of direct Russian governmental involvement in the hacking of the DNC and Podesta's email account given the paucity of evidence.

I'm sorry, but what? There is a preponderance of evidence, way more than is usually available for such things.

What piece of evidence is missing? What would convince you?

No, the wealth gap is not explained by real estate.

The problem is that the 0.01% -- households worth more than ~$100M -- have received almost all the wealth gains since 1980. That's not just real estate -- it has to do with globalization as well as tax and policy decision.

So the very rich have gotten much richer, while median incomes (I.e. middle class incomes) have not increased.

See Fig 1 of this paper:

Stuxnet happened in a very similar way
I find it depends on the project and the localization company. I've used big ones, like Lingotek and LION (or whatever they're called now), but there are still a lot of small companies that do things manually, and for a lot less.
This is misleading. Income of up to $101,300 is excluded. Also, tax credits are given if the amount you pay in the country you live in is higher than what you would have been paid in the US.

Given that a salary of $101k in Europe is unlikely, and that taxes are almost always higher in Europe than the US, you do not need to worry about paying income tax to the US.

You do, however, need to file a tax return.

I don't support these policies, but I wanted to clarify things for people who could get scared away by your comment. It really isn't that bad.

I love it that they are obsessed with battery life. It seems very few OEMs remember what a mobile device is these days. I like Apple for it very much.

That being said, I would buy the OLED iPhone in a heartbeat but only if it has bezels and has no curved screen. These fads are making normal human usage of the phones a huge annoyance and really need to die.

I'm very sad that I am seeing exactly the opposite: many people FINALLY got their brains warmed up and figured "Hey! Samsung did it, look how well their S7 Edge sold! Let's do the same!"... that's awful, sigh. They absolutely don't get it.
WaPo published entirely facts and revised their headline to be more accurate. Their initial statement was not really wrong as much it implied a deeper penetration than what actually happened.
Perhaps you didnt understand what for everyone means. It wasn't meant literally. It's often used by programmers, even laypersons, as a short-hand for a broad audience. I've seen laypersons write pseudocode and formal specs after training. Many were also taught to use an executable form called 4GL's which still have a lot of revenue and users. COBOL was the first in this since its language let even accountants and such write programs.

Far as a learning investment, that's true for any precise notation, modeling tool, or formal language. Even English takes Americans years to learn. So, pointing out pseudocode has a learning curve like everything else doesn't invalidate my claim that it reduces detail to aid understanding and by many people.

Note: Im also not arguing group-specific pseudocodes cant be developed. Only that the normal kind is meant to be accessible and usually is.
Ask HN: Stationary bike desk
Anyone have anything that helps them stay active at their desk they could recommend?
but I haven't heard of any city in Europe not affordable to live in for the middle class

http://www.globalpropertyguide.com/most-expensive-cities

You will find that European cities are very expensive to buy in and equally bad to rent in. Paris, Geneva, London, Helsinki, Stockholm, etc... all suffer from the exact same issues we're now seeing in American cities.

You could argue that the make-up of those cities are superior, as their suburbs are much more compact and urban connected with much better public transportation. This coupled with a culture that is much more ok with living in small spaces helps the middle class immensely.

In terms of a priced out middle class, however, the United States is really just catching up to the rest of the world.
Here's the thing about intelligence, it's not really verifiable by the public and the stories are only here to push some agenda.
