Cars give freedom to those who don't have it. It's easy to have a rosy pastoral view of the Amish, but the reality is grim for many young women subjugated to that culture. The ability for such people to see that the outside world can be far less harsh than the one they are used to will necessarily (and in my opinion should) lead to the collapse of those communities.
What's Up with WhatsApp?
It's analysed and stored in Melbourne, Victoria. The SKA Pathfinder is in Western Australia outside of Geraldton. Hence the data transfer statistics as the two sites are roughly 4,000km from one another.
In the example given here, how would one answer the following questions:

1. For a given school, return all the students

2. For a given school, return all the classes

In the last data model given (the correct one), the above 2 things can't be done (I think) without doing something funky like enumerating all the Enrollments and finding unique students/classes. In order to modify the data model to provide the needed information, wouldn't you run into the same borrow checker problems?
But violent crime among the rich is a statistical blurb. It exists but is exceptional, not the rule. You shouldn't just hand wave that away.

They're distinguishable at least by their respective utopian conclusions.

A ideological fascist utopia looks very different than a communist one.

One may rightly gripe that in practice there is no difference, or that those in the respective governments did not believe in the ideas they espoused and instead worked towards different ends.

But I can't believe that 100% of those following the ideologies ignored their tenets.
"In my opinion, most people in the valley or in North America still refuse to give up their lifestyle."

You should try living in Europe.

There is no lifestyle to give up by using trains!

... so long as they are made correctly.

Imagine if there were fairly high speed trains that connected SF, SJ, outside the bay - and LA?

And the stations were easy to access through subways/quick trains?

So many fewer people would drive.

Having to deal with the BS of a car, be stuck in traffic, drive everywhere - is not a lifestyle advantage. :)

Once you have easy access to good subways/trams/high-speed trains - you likely don't want to drive unless you have to.

Yeah I'm just getting back into fiction after sticking with only non-fiction for 18 years. The first step to writing quality fiction is to read the best stories available. Right now I'm studying Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow.

I quite like the idea of an "ABZ" plan. It's often far too easy to think things will just carry on as is. Thinking about these things, for me the "Z" in particular, is something I don't think people do enough until it's too late. Thanks for providing a template doc like this as a low friction way to actually start doing it.

macOS is good because of it's composing. You can compose umlauts by pressing option+u and then the "base" vowel, sz/ß is option+s. Same with accents, that's option+e/option+i and more. The Spanish ñ one is option+n, n.

Freelancing sites are not good indicators of the industry at large, IMO. The rates on elance and similar sites have always been pretty low. gun.io is pretty much the only exception to this that I've found, and that's because they do some vetting of the clients beforehand. Highly recommend checking that out if you need work. I am not affiliated in any way with gun.io, other than being a happy user of their platform (as a freelancer).

I have no clue how the money for space exploration is allocated, but they could possibly put that money into the things the GP (did I use that right) said. I think a better use would be to perhaps continue funding small explorations as we've done, but put the brakes on something like actually colonizing another planet, moon, satellite, etc. I agree that we have plenty to deal with here.
Next.js offers universal rendering which is a huge win with regards to performance but coupled with the client side data caching that the graphql client, Apollo, gives you and your app's perceived performance goes through the roof.
There are no state or municipal income taxes on individuals. The major state taxes are on property conveyance, payroll, automobiles, gambling.

Note that a direct comparison by salary at $100k is potentially misleading due to exchange rates, differences in wage distribution, cost of living &c.
I'd love it if we could do something like this on the east coast of Australia. I doubt it will ever happen. I fly between Sydney and Melbourne fairly regularly and it can be a real pain. Sydney -> Melbourne route is one of the busiest air corridors in the world so demand would probably be there.
Yes. And as such it has obvious artistic value, as images look better. But I can see that people can misuse them CSI style. You can add more detail to an image, but it is mainly an artistic interpretation that is not the real original image.
For storage purposes: If you want, you could just downsample your images right now, and just wait around for this or similar to be released. I dont recommend it.
This is a testimony that I will tell to every one to hear. I have been married four 4years and on the fifth year of my marriage, another woman had a spell to take my lover away from me and my husband left me and the kids and we have suffered for 2years until I met a post where this man DR LUKA LELE have helped someone and I decided to give him a try to help me bring my lover back home and believe me I just send my picture to him and that of my husband and after 48 hours as he have told me, I saw a car drove into the house and behold it was my husband and he have come to me and the kids and that is why I am happy to make every one of you in similar to met with this man and have your lover back to your self.

Something just seems wrong about the timeline. Not the NA timeline, I mean the European timeline.

We have seafarers reaching Australia 40,000 years ago. I don't think it should come as a shock that seafarers reach North America 24,000 years ago. Except that maybe we should keep digging because why did it take 16,000 more years?

I think we may be labeling the Dawn of Civilization pretty badly when we have agriculture and intercontinental tribes debuting thousands or tens of thousands of years prior.

Maybe the first inland civilization, sure.

I read this quote in the other thread where there was a discussion on the origins of English language and the loss of some characters in the alphabet. In that context, this quote made sense.

Apart from the first line, this quote doesn't apply here and frankly makes no sense. Yes, English may borrow (or steal forcefully, apparently) words from other languages, but that does not mean the language internally must not have its purity defended. Devaluating terms to have little meaning (awesome, terrible, fantastic) is not my idea of progress.

(Foreign languages on the other hand are a good source of new words which can be introduced, already inflated, into English.)
OK, now go through your Baidu Video subscription list and tell me how many are American: http://video.baidu.com/

Oh? You don't have any Baidu video subscriptions?

Are you sure it's the "internet" assuming that you're an American? Or is it just that you hang out on the internet where Americans tend to hang out?

That's a strange conclusion. What makes you think it is anything of that sort? The word on the handwritten sign beneath the date is "soon." Maybe they're recording their "before" body shape before they start a diet or physical regimen.

Beware These Nine Design Elements Your Front-End Developers Hate
Enjoy your feedback-based data. We'll see how correct it is.

Funny how your criticism of me consists of 2 things :

1) I have a predetermined conclusion

2) and it's the wrong one (obviously you have a predetermined conclusion as well and it doesn't seem to tolerate people of different opinions)

My big argument is this : why don't we look at the main point ? Obviously that last year of data doesn't fit the data series. Obviously it's an outlier (just freaking look at it). That means it should be treated as an outlier : don't base conclusions on it, and figure out what has changed.

And it's an outlier so let me tell you: the effect seen here is NOT (directly) related to a very slow change that started in 1850. It is something else.

This also means, don't use statistics to analyse it. It won't work.
I'm willing to agree if you word it as "It is not strictly impossible".
This is true, but don't take the comment so literally.

The real question is: will your SO be supportive of you needing to do whatever it takes to keep your initiative moving forward?
I'm not saying that having wealthy owners who no longer produce for mass consumption and a much larger number of dispossessed people with nothing to offer for market exchange is a good situation. I'm saying that there are tendencies that could drive things in that direction if extreme automation is possible and market logic endures without further modifications.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, both Marxists and their rivals believed that a large work force was a crucial part of industrial production. They just differed on social/political arrangements around that necessary labor. In the long run, the feud between Marxists and capitalists may seem as quaintly parochial as the conflict between 17th century Catholics and Protestants seems to an agnostic 21st century European. What need have we of a doctrine of factory workers when nobody needs factory workers at all?

If one is going to be paranoid, then one should at least be consistently paranoid.

v1 of the internet as used now seems wildly naive of state surveillance.

v2 may be better, but if most traffic goes encrypted, then there are going to be a lot more attacks (both legal and extra-legal) against the nuances of implementations.

v2 is certainly an improvement on v1. But one of the reasons v1 was deployed is because we believed things like "The US government would never tap traffic at the backbone" or "The US government would never tap private links between data centers."

Valuing both, I think it's important to keep eyes on the future so in 10 years we don't look back on statements like "The US government would never compell Google / Microsoft / Facebook / Whisper to distribute a poisoned version of their application" with the same amount of surprise.
The use of "free" here externalizes the cost of the time it takes to write or call restaurants, which could be potentially used for more rewarding activities. And assuming that the person is not a sociopath, it also externalizes the burden of introducing a new internal dialogue that tells you that you're acting unethically.

Not sure how seriously that can be taken either. Australia is so high but most of that wealth is in over inflated property values.
We might even be further along today if we had not gone for the moon shot. Getting to the moon was great for bragging, but it left us with very little in the way of stepping stones for further progress. Maybe we should have focused on building the technology from the ground up for an ongoing program instead of purpose-building it for a single goal.
$100k watch doesn't tell time better than a $10 watch.

But phones, like watches are very much a fashionable accessory, so it should be ripe for the same high-price segments as watches.
FYI: `languæge` and `charæcters` don’t make much sense—‘æ’ and ‘œ’ usually changed to simple ‘e’ in modern English (Encyclopædia, mediæval), unless at the start of a word (æsthetics). There are variations, ‘œ’ seems to have been more likely to change to ‘e’ at the start of a word (œsophagus, œstrus).

Also, not every ‘ae’ was an ‘æ’—‘aerial’ is one example. I think the test is whether or not the Greek word used ‘αι’.
Can you give the 5 cent description of why Signal would be preferred to encrypted email?
You do know what the word "bogus" means?
As far as I can tell, there's no state income tax in Australia. Not sure about city taxes.

I did mention that even if you live in a tax-free state in the US, the tax savings is essentially wiped out by having to pay for your own health care. Especially if you have a spouse and kids, between monthly health care premiums and deductibles that's probably another $10-$15k out of pocket, if not more.

Edit: Just ran a family of 4 (30 year old parents, 5 year old kids) through an ACA calculator. A silver plan runs around $800/month, with a total out-of-pocket max of $14,300. So, up to $25k/year in extra health care costs. It's absurd.

It's a stereotype. The account name is "vika kusheva" which is a woman's name.
I can't help wondering whether the effect the design of those phones have on the average person spotting them is less "wow, polished ceramic pillow, red gold detailing and alligator-skin case" and more "wow, that guy over there keeps bragging about how rich he is then pulls some cheap phone that looks like the one I had in the late 90s out of his pocket"

Or maybe they're just way ahead of the curve when it comes to the inevitable retro craze for turn-of-the-century phone design
Didn't those guys enlarge images by using some sort of mandelbrot-based process?
I can't help but feel career plans, even inherently flexible ones such as the 80000 hour plan, discourage serendipity and encourage sunk-cost thinking.

The key thing missing is if it makes the loop much bigger. if

That example does not make the loop much bigger, since it's trivial to combine multiple of these additions to one bigger one (even assuming that extra checks for overflow behavior might be needed, depending on the data type). Many other operations do not compress like this, e.g. those that iterate over many elements in a large data structure, need temporary results, ... Then loop unrolling likely causes costly cache misses.
The Amish are happier than almost all Americans: http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/2007/03/16/happiness-wealth-a...

I love how people trot out universal healthcare or pensions as a reason to ignore that European salaries are so much lower.

With an American tech salary of $200k/yr, I can pay for all of that (health insurance, student loans, etc.) and still sock away $100k/yr in savings. That $100k is more than enough to build up a massive nest egg which will provide for me better than any pension or unemployment insurance would.

If you play your cards right, you can be financially independent after about a decade of working in the US tech industry. Your entire working career could be only 10 years. That would be insane to imagine in Europe, yet you think France has better quality of live?

You mention having more vacation. I know plenty of people who switched to contracting in the US so they could have more time to focus on startups and hobbies. They only work maybe half the year, yet still make more than developers do in Europe.

European developers are underpaid. Full stop. You could dramatically improve your financial circumstances by getting a job at a US tech company (though the visa situation makes that challenging).
An old watch doesn't become bad at telling time, so you can invest a lot of money in it and keep it as jewellery for a long time.

A smart phone ends up being bad at being a smart phone after a few years. Apps stop working, web pages start loading slowly etc.

So there is much more prestige in getting the new iPhone before your peers, than owning an expensive-on-the-outside, but slow on the inside phone.

With that being said, there are companies that will tear your iPhone apart and place it inside a gold enclosure and others that will sell extremely expensive handsets. I tried talking to a jeweller about vertu phones back when they were still Nokia phones, and he tried to explain to me that people who invest ~$15.000 in a phone don't care about screen resolution or OS versions. I didn't understand why anybody would pay extra to get what was essentially a 2-3 year old.
You may find that most, if not all 100k+ watches are full automatics of varying complications. When someone makes a wholly mechanical smart phone, then yeah, they will probably charge 100k for it ;)

"Beginning" is a weird choice of words. I'm pretty sure palmer funding /thedonald is last year, and Katz's sting was in like December.

Anything post-acquisition is not really the beginning anymore methinks. I don't disagree with your assertion that it is a ridiculous series of unfortunate events.
Yeah, there is nothing in the world that brings people a deeper more fulfilling sense of purpose, and meaning to their lives than work. Ask someone with a family, an artist, or a political activist, and they will surely tell you, "I love being a Human, but I really don't feel whole without having to perform labor for the financial benefit of another party at the cost of my time and energy."

Maybe I'm the only person who reads this stuff who has actually done construction work, landscaping, painted houses, washed dishes, etc. while what they really wanted to do was to be studying mathematics and computer science, but as such a person, I find the "let's try to find a way around universal income in light of the coming 'automated utopia'" conversation to be extremely offensive. You say (and I'm paraphrasing for dramatic effect) that 'these poor people love to work, without work they wouldn't even be whole people' Not quite as offensive as "Let's liquidate the lower-class when we no longer need them to perform rote tasks to further our objectives." but close.
I think this is a bad interface. Showing a menu that clears the terminal rather than letting one use a specific command e.g. `git quick-stats commits` or `git quick-stats authors` is very annoying. If anything the menu should be a special option e.g. restricted to `git quick-stats menu`.
Kind of. It matters for me because it will ruin my video recommendation list.
That'd make a lot of sense. French are very strong at maths.

Basically, the "ivy league" French curriculum is: The first 2 years of college ain't college. It's an intensive non stop maths training program, at the end of which there is a national test (incredibly selective on maths). The students get to choose what college they go to, in order of ranking, highest score served first. Then they'll do some more maths in college, because, well, that's the only thing they can do xD
