I had lunch recently with a VP of human resources who worked for one of the largest tech employers here in Seattle (that is known for routinely working people 50 to 60+ hours a week) why they didn't provide more vacation and greater worklife balance. She replied that the young tech talent that they recruit doesn't demand it they only look at the top line salary and don't calculate the amount that they are earning per hour.

I know where you are getting at and there's a subtle difference there.

Knowing the 'implementation' Vs Knowing the 'algorithm'.

I don't think I can 'know' something without actually doing it. Thereby, the road to knowing the algorithm goes through the rock climb of knowing its implementation.

This is why clock_gettime() allows you to specify which clock to use. According to POSIX, CLOCK_MONOTONIC is not supposed to have any sudden jumps due to time adjustments or leap seconds, but can be adjusted for the gradual drift the clock experiences with respect to real world time. It seems perfect for your use case (if you don't want the skew adjustment there's also CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, but since there is no skew adjustment it's only reasonably accurate for events that are close together).
Yes that is where all helium on earth comes from: trapped ground sources, often in natural gas and oil deposits. Alpha particles from the Earth's radioactive core propagate upwards and get trapped somewhere in the earths crust, where we find them. But it took hundreds of millions of years to create macroscopic amounts of helium, so once all the sources in the ground or tapped it's gone, on human timescales at least. And you can't recycle from the atmosphere because it escapes the Earth's gravity.

This seems like a sincere comment, so in case it's helpful, here's my interpretation of why others may be downvoting it.

Deep learning practitioners are aware that they're using non-convex optimization, stochastic gradient descent, and so on. In fact, those topics are core to modern deep learning research and explicitly acknowledged in most published research: LSTMs were invented to solve the vanishing gradient problem, Restricted Boltzmann Machines were used as a pre-training step to avoid local minima, and optimizers like ADAM have explicit guarantees about things like convergence.

You may know all this stuff already--not sure, based on your comment above.

If not, here are a few example papers from mainstream AI researchers explicitly talking about deep learning as an optimization problem or function approximator:
[1] Why Does Unsupervised Pre-training Help Deep Learning?http://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume11/erhan10a/erhan10a.pdf
[2] Multilayer feedforward networks are universal approximators: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/08936080899...

There's a few assumptions built into your basic math. Does the benefit need to be $12,000/year? Can we phase out Social Security ($888B) Health Care spending ($602B) and other safety net services ($362B) as we phase in basic income?

Setting the annual benefit to an average of $7,000 and phasing out other safety net services get's the basic math a lot closer, while theoretically helping more people than the current system.

I'm not saying Basic Income is a definite win, but back of the envelope assumptions are usually too simple to dismiss or validate an idea.

I am a white, male, heterosexual, married, tall, bald, bearded, introvert.

None of these binary labels affect how I perceive myself, they are just very useful in communicating who I am to other people. I understand your point, that there are spectra of manifested behaviors, but as a self-identifying introvert I find much within the article syncs with my feelings, even if it isn't advice I would necessarily follow.

The EU was created to ensure peace within Europe. The economic aspects are secondary and merely enable that to happen by binding the economies together, so that you cannot start a war or leave the EU without significant harm to your own economy.

There is a European Defense Agency and there are EU battlegroups that sort of form a standing EU army. The EU definitely is a military union and there are quite a few people pushing for even more cooperation on that front.

EDIT: For those people down voting I would suggest reading the preamble of the Paris treaty[1], which essentially started the EU. It's not exactly subtle or ambiguous about the goal.

The "1%“ rhetoric is also quite misleading, since the passive income is concentrated much more tightly than that.

If he had said "the average person in the top 10% receives a UBI equal to 75% of the average income in the country" or "the average American receives a UBI equal to 10% of the median income in the country" it would be equally true, yet make quite a different impression.
CLOCK_MONOTONIC is good, but it's a local clock without a defined reference. So you can't use it on the network to synchronize different computers or otherwise communicate absolute timestamps. There should be a CLOCK_REALTIME_RAW or something that gives you the TAI time (UTC without correction for leap seconds).

5-10% of total housing stock, or 5-10% of houses on the market?

Prices are set on the margin, reflected by the goods that are actively on the market, and at any given time only a small percentage of housing units are on the market. If 5-10% of total housing units are owned by Chinese nationals, and that percentage has grown rapidly in the last few years, it could easily translate to > 50% of real estate transactions.

And what did they say?
The categorising (and dismissal) of ideals that you don't agree with under a blanket statement and refusing to see them as anything other than binary is the most destructive thing in our society IMO.

It means you can group public healthcare with the forced redistribution of wealth and call them communism and equally bad.

The war of drugs is the same, it means you can group (relatively) harmless drugs like Marijuana with harmful drugs like Heroin and dismiss both as equally nasty when they are anything but.

The world is seldom binary, but categorising things makes it such.

Unfortunately the word "green" is the new "communism".

"Can you please provide widespread proof of "income streams vanish[ing]"?"

Were you in a coma from 2007-2010 ?

Ok, let's stipulate that you were. You were in a coma. Fine.

How about twentieth century world history from high school ? Great family dynasties all over the western world were ruined in the aftermath of WWI.

How exactly would you hedge against the leninists arresting you and killing your entire extended family ? Remember, WWI is going on in the background so you can't just jet off to St. Barts...

Moving on to WW2, how would a "prudent investor" manage their portfolio of businesses and contacts and resources in their family base of Dresden ? Or Hiroshima ?

Your scope of thought on this issue is ... limited.
If you'd constantly be told (in the media, the movies, TV shows, by the government, and thus society in general) that you live in the Greatest Country on Earth, wouldn't you end up believing it, too? Yes, you would.

So for a source, I would recommend "The Highly Sensitive Person". The theory is this: some people are more sensitive. They pick up on the microgesture you maybe dont. They hear the small vocal cue or see the change in posture. Our brains -- thinking in general -- its expensive! If you process things more quickly, it's plausible your batterys drain a bit quicker too. Evolutionary speaking, everything has a cost. Look is this true? I dont know the science has to be sorted out, but it is plausible.
I sense the dire need for separate interviewing processes for anything that involves CRUD/WebApps with a database/Front End etc. and anything that is math/compute heavy.

Although I feel it is correct on the interviewer's part to expect me to know what these algorithms are and their general behaviour, expecting me to have it memorised to be considered eligible for writing CRUD apps and struggling with build tools and outdated test infrastructures is just infuriating. Hello 2017.
It reads a little bit like a parody of similar (more well-intentioned) documents. If I didn't know it was serious, I wouldn't have guessed it was. The casual throwaway reference to "academic masturbation" would have been a dead giveaway, but the rest isn't objectively any better.

It's hard to refute directly because there isn't any motivation or reasoning presented, only prescriptions (the author cites their "experience" in comments), so the best I can do is point out that most of it is really bad advice.

If I were to guess, C++ was designed in a certain way, and you really ought to understand it if you want to use it well (other languages do this too: it's not a fault!). So if you absolutely refuse to learn any thing that requires learning or a nonzero amount of effort, this is the sort of coding style you end up with.
A large part of the problem is people who think they care, but really don't.

I don't agree with the "5. Quit pretending to be an extrovert."

let's not forget that switzerland is basically just rich white people. racial tension in the US contributes a LOT to the dislike of anything even remotely resembling 'socialism'.

but you make a good point. i think the american aristocracy is currently in the end stages of forming and will be completely established within a few more years. once it gets bad enough, there will be a new relationship model between workers and owners, but until then, it's a free for all.

i say this as a business owner who does fine for himself and the other stakeholders but the level of wealth that the top echelons have is mind boggling.

like, i don't actually see a path to amassing that much wealth no matter how hard i work. to achieve that seems to be some voodoo mix of circumstances like birth, connections, and straight up luck.

I am sorry for your loss. I can totally relate to this. I lost my mom to cancer when I was 19. Long, slow, painful death that myself and my 7 other siblings had to witness. It took years to get over the trauma and I am certain some of my younger siblings (ages 2 to 15) had PTSD.

I was not yet into my career at that age but I am certain it would have heavily affected my concentration and ability.
No. I'm OK either with completion of an undergraduate degree in related field OR experience demonstrated through either 2-3 years working as a software engineer or equivalent open source software contributions.
The "American Dream" is a has-been. I'm not old enough to have lived through this myself, but what I've understood the US was probably the best country to live in after the WWII. Some +30 years of industrial growth, start of consumerism without climate change and ecological or economical worries (and don't forget rock 'n roll!). The average joe could work a factory job and afford a house and a family. Crime rates were relatively low, income distribution was more even and generally every class of people were getting more prosperous, except perhaps the blacks and latinos who still were being discriminated against (and still are).

That being said since the -70's and -80's Nixon's and Reagan's administration saw the collapse of the american dream, stagnating minimum salaries, the explosion of crime, war on drugs (that has cost billions), unprecedented bias in income distribution. The Soviet Union and communism was the new evil, US liberated it's economy. Capitalism and freedom was the answer. What could possibly go wrong when industries (such as banking) self regulate...

Now US has regressed to a country where the owning class is super rich, meanwhile there's a 3rd world country juxtaposed onto itself. Enormous poverty, crime, drug abuse, social problems, racial problems and a new president whose road to power is paved with dreams like cutting back on the minimum wage etc. stupidity.

On top of that you have a goverment that spies on its citizens.

Event in the poorest countries the elite are always doing well. You don't judge a country based on how well the elite are doing but on how well the poor are doing.
