Yep, been here four years too and leaving (I never dreamed of it though - my partner did). Especially good point about the healthcare issues here (independent of the broader US healthcare issues), it's really difficult to deal with. Fun for singles in their 20s but would not recommend the hard slog of raising a family here unless you're from the region or a highly paid banker. The housing situation is really dire once you demand a certain level of quality or want to buy (btw, didn't have mice for three years, now two in one day making four this year. There's always some issue popping up stressing me out and I live in a decent building with a good landlord and excellent area!)

The subway will ruin you if you rely on it to commute daily at peak times. Even if on it just for two stops. It's absolutely a mess. Nose in strangers armpit after waiting for three trains to pass you because they're at capacity is a very real thing - now just imagine the train is held even ten minutes in a delay ... a panic attack in that situation is highly possible.

The restaurants and food scene is incredibly overhyped, overpriced, and I routinely get sick after eating at good restaurants. Yeah maybe there's some three Michelin star places but I never go, and cannot afford or get a reservation anyhow.

The people are great though and I'll miss them. Random locals I chat with when walking the dog, or the merchants and shopkeepers in my neighborhood. Good, interesting people. But they're usually the ones who've been here decades, not the transplants

I don't think it's great for doing business. The pace can feel good at times, but drain you all the others. And the city is not what I'd categorize as a "small business city," it's very corporate in opportunities and mentality.

We are going to Melbourne Australia to raise our kids. It is so much better for kids and yet still offers what NYC has but on a smaller more reasonable scale. It is not perfect, truthfully every major city around the world right now is facing issues, but better suited to manage them than NYC. It's far, but you should consider it. I am friends with a Bulgarian couple with a small child who love it and the kid is very happy too. If you are in tech you may be able to do independent skilled migration where you are given permanent residency even without a job sponsorship. Happy to help if you're interested, we can exchange contact info.
It rather suggests they're going to someone or something devoid of a definite article (going to Flore). "Aller au Flore" means "Going to the Flore", with the implied idea "going to the café de Flore" (this is the normal way of saying it for any café, restaurant...). So it indicates, for the speaker, that (the) Flore is more than a café.

> If you negotiated the documents yourselves, why were any broker involved ?

It's a scamola with a similar racket being Ticketmaster's "convenience fees". Most apartments in NYC will require going through their broker who collects a fee (usually a percentage of the first years rent). A chunk of that fee ends up being a kickback to the owner of the apartment. Ticketmaster does the same thing with venues (tack on $15 fee, give the venue $7.50).
Also, the much higher VAT rate paid by most hotels in the UK compared to most AirBnBs (17% vs 0.6%) is not because AirBnBs are illegally avoiding the tax, but simply because most hotels, but few AirBnBs, cross the business-size threshold where the higher VAT kicks in.
> Cryptocurrencies log all transactions in a world-readable log.

True for now but there's some interesting experiments in this space, such as zero knowledge proofs, currently in dash and porting to ethereum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-interactive_zero-knowledge...).

> And it's quite a hassle to acquire without going through an exchange which logs all your personal information for AML anyway.

Also true, but crypto to crypto exchanges are relatively lax on regulation. It'd be trivial to trade into an anonymous coin, mix, then back to a public coin for some degree of anonymity.
It's almost as if AirBnB, Uber et al get by on skirting the law other people have to follow.

A robot absolutely replaced my cashier. Now I can scan the barcodes, insert the item into the bagging area, swipe credit card, etc. all without interacting with a person.

Sure, it's not AI. It's not a deep reinforcement learning neural network trained with Nesterov subgradient momentum.

But robots are robots. Whatever it is, my cashier's out of a job.
> It's easier to supplement with whey or soy protein.

Soy is a rather poor source of protein (phyto-estrogens, etc). Whey is a waste product of the cheese industry.

(Edit: All things considered, milk is a pretty good source of protein.) The milk cow is the most efficient means of converting the grass on a rocky hillside into human-edible protein (ref: some old book I have somewhere. They're all in boxes). The fat in grass-fed milk is more orange than industrial milk because there is more vitamins A & E (and beta carotene) in the milk than is in cottonseed meal (a waste product of the cotton industry that is commonly fed to dairy cows in a feedlot).
I see. It was not clear to me that the IRS court system rather than the IRS itself was being called unconstitutional in that sentence. Thanks.
> [Cops] have to be the enforcers for the crap laws that get passed too

This is something I've heard from friends in law enforcement, but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. I've seen countless moving violations take place in front of police--most often speeding and failure to signal--without the violator getting pulled over. And usually while the cop is driving down the left lane of the highway while not passing, which is itself illegal in my state. I've heard plenty of stories of other situations where the threat of arrest for violating some law is real, meaning that the officer had every right under the law to make the arrest already, but is used to get someone to chill out and de-escalate the situation instead of being followed through. Discretion, the ability to selectively enforce the law, is a huge part of their everyday job.

So I don't buy it when people say "they have to enforce the law" because they do not do so universally. I don't buy it when police say "I don't agree with it but I have to enforce it" since basically everyone agrees that you ought to signal lame changes but that is only rarely enforced.

Clearly there's more to it than that--there are greater incentives for police to continue making arrests for marijuana and there are greater penalties for them if they decide to stop making those arrests on moral grounds. But until this false statemeant about "having to enforce the law" is dropped, we can't talk intelligently about what really factors into the decision (personal and institutional) to continue drug enforcement.
I've been wanting to build one of these since I saw this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/3yiu6j/a_magic_mirror_...
He's certainly right about the fact that people are not going to quit all at once -- it's an example of the tragedy of the commons. If someone can figure out how to grow a meat analog in a lab cheaply and efficiently it will probably be one of the most positively impactful technologies ever created.

True. Minimal TCP with 1 MSS window may be easy, but proper congestion control with fast recovery, F-RTO, tail loss probe, SACK etc. is much harder. Miss one of these aspects and you get a TCP that takes minutes to recover from a lost packet in some obscure case. It took years to debug Linux TCP stack. Even BSD stack is already way behind.

This isn't at all directed at this post in particular – but I'm curious, what's with the huge movement towards JWT? I get their use-case, but it seems like most implementations shoe-horn JWT's to act exactly like access tokens stored within a database. Revoking a JWT doesn't make any sense to me.
My opinion is pretty generic as I would go to SF, since I am living there. Even though it may feel that the hype is fading I think that it's just the beginning. Although each individual is different and I would try to think of other things you want to see in your everyday life as well. Do you like nature, lots of greenery? Or do you prefer fast paced city life? The choices are on the table and you just need to pick the one for you. You can see what kind of answer does this tool give you https://teleport.org I tend to use this site if I plan to travel somewhere. Next month I plsn to go to Sydney to get a taste of a remote lifestyle as well. All in all I think that San Francisco is the best place to go as a developer. Loads of developers and open-minded people who all have a startup-like mindset which really inspires me and has made me much more confident so far. If you don't like the city you eventually go to, you can always move. You sre never stuck in one place. Good luck on your searches :)
I'm looking for a CMS that outputs static generated pages with a progressive web app approach. Any references?
> If anything the opt out should be further restricted. You may opt out, but you'd need a valid reason. Any held superstition should not be grounds.

This is insane and a reason why some people would be against "opt-in by default" is fear of it expanding into something draconian like you are describing.

You don't respect religious beliefs(which you were clearly referring to derisively as "superstition"). Fine. But please don't advocate for your contempt to be codified into laws that discriminate against people different than you.

I'm all for making organ donation opt-in by default since I believe that accurately reflects most people's actual preference. But I'm not for tricking or forcing anyone into it. The default should be made clear and people should be able to easily opt-out for any reason they see fit or even no reason at all.
actually makes pretty good sense as a coping mechanism I guess. decreased memory function might help erase bad experiences, thereby decreasing stress - unless your job depends on abnormally high levels of recall... probably not a big issue in days gone by.
How about his campaign to make the Humvee a civilian vehicle?[0]

Surely that must have helped the environment.

[0]: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02...

edit to add: in the interest of fairness, he gave up his hummers when the environment became a hotter issue politically.
I'm almost certain he meant stave off the depression rather than "avoid" like you are reading it. Staying busy, staying in a routine, can help keep people from getting down.

Telling people to "get help" is really frustrating since the help seldom helps. It's just a blow-off conversation-ender. Don't assume they aren't getting help, don't assume that someone suffering an episode can't fix it on their own given time.
I still run Linux despite all the challenges and all the hardware constantly breaking and working just-not-right, because I just love the openness and I don't understand how can Apple (and windows) users survive without "apt-get". Homebrew is a poor substitute for me.

I am basically using linux just for apt-get, the configurability and the ability to test server-side software in the same-ish environment as it will actually run in is a nice plus.

But yeah, people that argue that "there are no issues" are either lying or were incredibly lucky. I actually bought a laptop that had ubuntu pre-installed that stopped working immediately after doing a system update! (Because the laptop had a binary blob driver for a graphic card, and that stopped working with some new kernel or whatever.)

Have you ever used a T420 before? The panel on that thing is so hilariously poor you have to wonder how it got past QA.
CPUs typically support larger DIMM sizes than exist at launch. Having to wait on CPU manufacturers to support larger sizes is probably not an issue. Having an incredibly small market for those larger sizes probably is more of an issue. The Things stored in RAM are replaced all the time. The things stored in flash typically are not replaced, but appended, creating a demand for more.

> namely image/speech recognition, machine translation to near human performance?

The key word here is recognition. Better, faster, more efficient classifiers.

The algorithms for training a better representation of the features, not just features itself is a big deal, but it is, again, supervised learning.

The adversary approach, which gives additional feedback for better training, is mere sophisticated supervised learning.

Take one of the best papers survey (which is an emergent new genre in hipster's blogs) and one will see that there is nothing fundamentally new, apart from sophistication and additional feedback.
I believe that would be 'encrypt my home drive' on Linux, then you basically log out to protect files. Not sure though.
Internet is acceptable in the major Canary Islands cities, take in mind that they use it extensively for reservations. A lot of hotel beds are booked by internet each day. On the other hand there are some arbitrary limits in all country related with telephonic monopolies (not exclusive to Canary Islands).

The problem is the massive and often very noisy tourism. Good luck trying to concentrate to make a deadline in Carnaval or in a small apartment in front of the beach. If you choose the zone carefully, neither too isolated nor to close to the hot-turism spots, could work.

Food is cheap, rental vary from very expensive to relatively cheap. Life can be cheap except if you need to exit often from the islands and take a fly, or when need to buy a new car (must be imported and there is only a single guy in the island that can sell you this brand), or need something special.
The data used to estimated the missing tax is the discrepancy between outgoing vs ingoing, ie that more stuff is being paid than should be possible with the available capital in the national economy. According to the tax office official data, the global worth of undeclared income was 150 000 MSK in 2014, 5% of BNP, for which 42.5% would have gone to taxes.

Looking at the system at that level will not be 100% but then the numbers are rounded anyway. The question I ask in the context of this discussion is if the 96% as estimated by the Swedish Tax Agency, is bigger or smaller than the 83.1% provided by IRS, knowing that both number include a certain amount of uncertainty. Both numbers are provided by the state agency of each country so some assumption of good-faith and competency should be applied.
Many expats are complaining about this. However, their world consists of:

1) their expat colleagues
2) expat parties

Good luck finding natives there.

Also, it doesn't hurt to try and speak the language and understand the culture of a country you're living in.
So redirecting all port 80 requests to https://<domain>/ (or otherwise kill port 80 on the server).

Then, make sure each page view overwrites / clears any side-effecting session state.

Put another way, why should unexpected cookies change the side effects of post requests?

Anyway, if the browser is connecting via port 80, the MITM can just use a transparent http->https proxy to rewrite the referrer, and forward the request to the https server, so you've already lost.

It does take a little time to learn how to get the best performance out of BJS or any WebGL app. The community is very helpful with that.
Agreed, silly deepmind! /s

The fact of the matter is, if you are smart enough, you can get acquihired for a lot of money. DeepMind, Geometric Intelligence, Deep Blue Labs, Vision Factory, TupleJump, Turi, etc. are all examples.
I feel like this is too cynical of the deep learning and AI phrases. I agree that so far the only thing deep learning has given us is advanced correlation of data to sell us stuff better. Google knows this and so it has not hyped up the self driving cars. Tesla on the other hand has no ads to sell us and had to sell cars for which it had to force the AI concept on us. I am cynical of self driving cars however becoming a reality in the near future. Of course there is probably a middle ground somewhere. The article seems to say the ad-people-tracking-tech and the more pure efforts like self driving cars are the same.
You're re-framing the context of "doing their homework".

I agree you shouldn't be doing any homework to perform basic tasks such as "get [the] machine to hibernate, connect to wifi reliably, etc...". I'm not doing any of it on my Thinkpad, where these tasks work without messing around.

And in an ideal world, yes, I'd love not having to ever think about it too :) . But in the current Windows-dominated non-Mac consumer hardware world, what I say is that you should be doing homework prior to buying a machine you expect to install Linux on.

If you honestly have so little faith in local government that you believe they would change the care options of a patient to "speed up" organ donation, what makes you think they wouldn't disregard the patients preferences on organ donation and just remove the relavent item after death and before handing the body over to the family?

As a sort of basically reliable swiss army knife for file-based encryption problems, the kinds of problems you'd otherwise use AES passphrase-encrypted ZIP files to solve, PGP not only works but also has a bad rap.

And there are a lot of those problems! Maybe even the majority of them!

But PGP was designed for message encryption, and it's a poor choice for message encryption. The community is gradually converging on the idea that SMTP store-and-forward email is just never going to be cryptographically safe, and pretty much the only messaging application in which PGP makes any sense is SMTP email.

What's worse is, much of the PGP ecosystem really only makes sense in a messaging context. Which means that the complex parts of PGP, like key servers and subkeys and things like that, aren't really adding value, but still confuse and distract users.
From my experience most of the hard to trace errors come from uninitialized variables and they are usually valgrindable. It is VM-based so it can cache jumps and other conditions that depend one uninitialized vars via taint analysis.
