Yeah, I just ran into something similar a few days ago. Every once in a while I used to go through all my trading cards and bulk sell all my duplicates for a few cents each, but apparently now they require you to use some combination of SMS and mobile app authentication to post anything on the market. Clicking through the confirmation email they send you isn't enough on its own.

So now I just don't bother with trading cards at all.

A videographer's portrayal of DevOps
For my current involvement of taking the Udacity Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree, I'm currently using a 750 Ti SC card - which was what I had in my current workstation at home. I've found that it performs adequately (so far) for what I am doing. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and I installed CUDA and CUDANN (and other junk) to run Python/TensorFlow with GPU support.

That said, I'm currently working on the behavioral cloning project (teach a virtual car to drive using what we've learned so far), and given the amount of data we'll gather (10s of thousands of frames we have to process) to train our models - I tend to wonder if I will need to upgrade.

Fortunately, that won't be too difficult for me - I have both a 960 and 970 waiting in the wings; they were cards originally destined for a mini-itx gaming machine build that I've never gotten around to (hmm - maybe I should just build it for my next workstation instead).

Also - 960s and 970s are dropping in price like a rock, since the hardcore gamers are moving to the 10xx line; while they may not have as many cores or as much speed, they are still very capable cards for ML purposes.

I've also been considering getting a multi-pcie slot server motherboard (maybe with dual xeons or such - these mobo combos are actually pretty cheap on ebay), and dropping in one of those cards, then later adding on more GPU cards - strictly for an ML box...

We've expanded our contractor payment platform to now take care of the necessary tax forms that your company has to deal with in the U.S. You can now get a signed W-9 upfront when you invite a contractor. And, at the end of the year, we can generate, e-file, and deliver a 1099 form to the IRS and your contractor.

If you run a business that uses contract workers, this can save you a massive amount of headache.
No, not necessarily. Cash flow matters more than debt. Spending all the money that you earn and keeping your net worth at 0 is actually a great way to live (at least until you retire).
Being born into a family with huge debt is likely giving you above average income potential. I'd rather be worrying about being born into the family with just a little debt, but struggling to pay it off.
That claim gets even stronger if one considers real-time GC's or ref counting. Like how they do with Java for embedded systems. The places where Rust is uniquely advantageous gets smaller.
You can, but it's not obvious that it's an option. I'd be willing to bet that the signup UI was deliberately designed to make it look like a phone number is required.

Air transportation is only more affordable for a very small portion of the travelers who get the highly discounted fairs. On aggregate of costs for all travelers air travel is more expensive.

I guess it really depends on the company culture, and one shouldn't over-generalize. I have non-French colleagues who don't speak French (and made barely any progress from their French lessons, but hey it's clearly not their priority ;) and are just fine. But where I work everyone naturally switch to English as soon as there's a non-French speaker in the room.

So my advice to new comers would be to pay attention to this when you visit for interviews. Do you feel reluctance, are people hesitant and searching for words when speaking English? Could be a sign they're not used to it. If they speak casually OTOH (even with strong accent and the odd mistakes) it's likely they're used to it: good.
Why do you think they're trying to market to an English speaking audience, as opposed to a French speaking audience?

French is the national language, and you'll be required to speak it in order to have a normal life.
In a similar vein, not letting the camera do the B&W conversion in the viewfinder will train your eye to look for tonal differences and will help you see possible B&W compositions before you bring your camera to your face.
From the article:

> Once out of the telescope, the data is going through a new, almost automatic data-processing system we’ve developed.

Of course, they don't go into detail (instead making a very odd analogy to a bread machine), but I think the implication is that the data is processed immediately before being recorded. A similar approach is used at the LHC.

A better analogy might be; when you take a picture on your phone, it comes out of the camera chip in a form equivalent to a bitmap file. But those are big and a pain to deal with, so its converted to jpeg or something else reasonable before being stored, perhaps losing a bit of irrelevant noise in the process.

I've worked on both sides of the fence. My take on it is that the cloud is raising the security bar in many dimensions, but lowering it in otheres. Frankly, for-profit surveillance (and government conspirators) is at the top of my list of security concerns.

The good news is that the "evil" mega corps aren't so evil, and generally contribute back.

Also, the bar for custom hardware is dropping, and the recent moore's law stall means a good board design can live for 3-6 years instead of 1-2. In turn, this means that niche operating systems like BSD and opensource Solaris have increasingly stable hardware targets.

Taken together, this is great news.

This seems to be accurately calculating the income taxes, but that's not taking into account the corporate taxes.

If a French employer tells you they'll pay you 100k€ annually (just for the sake of the example), you can expect to receive 75k€. (25%, mostly for your retirement plan, social security and unemployment insurance. Mandatory)

Then, if you input those 75k in this tool, it will tell you what you can expect to pay as income taxes. In the case of 75k, 17 218€.

once people realize that finding a well paying physics gig is much much tougher than just becoming a developer.

Unfortunately, becoming a developer is a short-term optimal choice that you pay for in the long term.

The 40-year-old physicist has tenure and can work on whatever he wants. As far as his peers are concerned, he's mid-career. The 40-year-old programmer is considering plastic surgery so he can still get hired in the Valley.

The people who become developers find out that they don't have permission to get a day older than 35 unless they can make it into management. And if you were going to be a manager anyway, you might as well have gotten an MBA in your mid-20s, and then you'd be making far more than the developer would even dream of.

Coding was always way more fun than doing 4th year/grad school level physics for me too.

Programming is a lot of fun, but most software jobs aren't programming intensive. The coding is trivial and a high school student could do most of the work. The hard part is dealing with tickets, PMs, and unnecessary meetings.
Radio scintillation of the Interstellar Medium becomes an issue, I daresay the radio equivalent of "active optics" could help.

I did think up 100s of radio telescopes in a bird cage orbit at the distance of Jupiter, impractical of course but Space VLBI does reward thinking big.

Isn't it worth having telescopes well out the ecliptic plane, I seem to recollect VLBI is about filling in the UV plane. It was a long time ago, and it was just a second year physics project.

This is a similar question to what percentage of people use all those empty condo-cities being built in China. The answer is: a perhaps-negligible number now (except around existing metropolitan centres, where there's respectable usage), but with projected growth toward capacity as GDP rises.

Because Chinese civil-planning policy isn't a matter of election promises, it isn't constrained to showing benefits within four-year periods. A lot of the things China is doing don't "make sense" from an intuitive standpoint if you're imagining anyone expected short-term gains, but do make sense if you imagine they were planning for 10 or 20 years down the line.
I think it's just a few isolated projects. The only ones that come to mind are this one and NightCode.

That is clearly not the only difference.

There is a vast amount of what would be considered incendiary or illegal discussion in France, that occurs on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and dozens of other US platforms.

Those types of services, Google included, are gateways & amplifiers that enable a much larger ecosystem for tech start-ups. Censorship drives or keeps them away, which is one of the reasons why the US will perpetually dominate such in the West.

The latest anti free speech movement taking over Europe, is the "fake news" authoritarianism. Having bureaucrats decide what is legally to be considered news; aka an excuse for increasing government censorship. Major European nations are moving aggressively to strictly limit such. Should Breitbart be covered by freedom of speech? I think it's obvious that they should. In Germany or France it would not be, they'd immediately seek to destroy them.

Facebook is a $369 billion tech behemoth that could never exist anywhere but the US. It's probably worth more than every public technology company in all of the EU combined.

This would be interesting if idea is turned around on existing information on youtube instead of freshly gathering information. Since there is lot of information on youtube to play with.

Pick 'x' 'qualified' videos based on speaker credentials (eg: Sam Altman, Peter Theil, Founders, VCs, Partners etc). Most of these youtube videos take on Q&A or talk types. You can make a 'good' catalogue of all relevant questions asked by interviewer and link to answers provided by each interviewer.

Because developer time is worth much more than the hardware cost delta.

There are a number of tasks we do that are compute bottlenecked, how about compressing an archive, or compiling, or transcoding?

Even things like apt-get install is faster with a faster processor, and vim plugins can be ridiculous with their lag. It all adds up to hours and days and eventually weeks of your life over time.

I don't think the tradeoff of saving $100 or $200 on a chip that will last three years and will be worth more on resale is worth it.

Honestly, i never linked the cisco logo to the goldengate. It looked like meters of an audio output or something else electronic, an o-scope. The proportions seem off, probably because i never see the bridge from the side.

Im betting they want to play down the link to the city name. "Frisco" is a week trademark because of its common use. Cisco is akin to the "Syfy" channel.

Four years would be on the very short end these days. Most doctoral programs in math and the sciences are a MINIMUM of four years, with average terms creeping up to 6. Never say never, but a 2-year doctorate is pretty much unheard-of.

Some people think of this as 2 years for a Masters and 2 more for PhD, but in practice most hard science programs don't really offer a true Masters program. When I got my doctorate, a bunch of us figured out we could apply to get our MS diploma after we finished our coursework -- hardly anyone in the PhD program had ever bothered before. We all got them and put them on our desks as a kind of inside joke.
I went to an engineering school that had a very difficult time with their drop out rate. One of the biggest indicators of success, meaning graduation, was the students incoming math ability. Basically, if the student came in and took anything less than calculus when they first arrived, it was more likely than not that they'd drop out. Eventually, the math department added mandatory attendance to all lower level math courses and the affect was dramatic. The graduation rate went way up for these students.

Now, graduation rate is only one possible metric. That said, many universities do have hard data and that data generally states that classroom attendance leads to better outcomes overall. Certainly, that doesn't work for all students, but it does suggest that there still is a tangible, substantial difference between being in class and not.
How much of that $425bn is liquid, I wonder?
I'm taking some Udacity courses now and mine are free, from what I understand the courses themselves are all free unless there is an inherent cost, however if you want a nanodegree or some other mentoring etc, then those added value options will require joining as a paid member which is as it should be.

As well I agree with you, for me I've learned recently that having a mentor and paying is demotivating for me. I like clocking hours and hours studying to learn software development on my own and pushing myself is far more motivational than having someone else adding structure and deadlines. I would have never thought that until it happened and I was like wow I'm slacking off now rather than clocking the huge hours I was doing before on my own.

I read a sci-fi story with this premise.

Companies could only be as large as X before starting to pay prohibitively large taxes in order to stay 'for profit entities' or become companies devoted to the public good.
