Your house/building analogy is flawed because there are extremely significant rules/regulations about what your house can look like and what materials you can use to build it leveed by all sorts of levels of government as well as HOAs. Doubly so if you live in a historical neighborhood.

And somehow people do manage to live in skyscrapers without flooding the first floor.

I'm not sure if anyone ever attempted a currency something like the Euro before.
It is true, actually. Lots of waiters with degrees in London. But most of them do not last much. It is a way to improve their English, try to get a job in the UK (getting to an entry-level job it is almost impossible in the South), and live in London. Note than normally do not want to stay in the UK permanently.

Also take with a grain of salt all this kind of articles. American and UK media likes to project their worldview in the political actors of continental Europe but the 20-something nations involved are varied and make the EU extremely complex.
You don't want this at the object level anyway. You want to have objects clumped into vats, which are related object graphs that are isolated from other vats but freely intermingle otherwise. Then, messages between vats invoke turns of delivery inside vats independent of other vats, and we can schedule one vat per processor.
Just as an aside: if you have too much energy on approach in a small single engine piston plane (e.g. a Cessna 172), you can pull the throttle to idle, pull the nose up until you're below full flap extension speed (85 knots), then put in full flaps, and then point the nose down and keep descending (in a steep nose down attitude) at 85 knots. It's quite fun, and brings you down fast (i.e. steeply).
Coming from Italy I don't feel like a pig. Maybe Spanish and Portuguese feel different about themselves...
Can't reply to the reply, but Sweden is not a founder of the EU.
It's not theft because it is a legally established process for funding the government.

You have a say in how taxation works, through the political process. You're part of this system and are fully free to work to end all taxation.

And, you don't need to think that taxation is just, or fair, but it is in fact legal and applies to you until you either work to end it or move somewhere where it doesn't apply.

Theft is the unlawful, extrajudicial taking of something without permission.

Put simply: we all agreed to be taxed (for most of us, our parents agreed on our behalf when we were born), but theft happens without our agreeing to anything.
Why Leicester City Will Not Win the Premier League (2015)
That is so typical for majority of vendors and the company you work for is irrelevant - I have seen that behavior from all major IT vendors and it is not culture or location specific.

I get away with it frequently but not always. You can't imagine how many times I got response 'nobody ever asked that'.

What I usually do when that happens is to do one case of their work entirely myself to show a complete working example in real life scenario. That requires certain knowledge about domain in question. I have experience in bunch of tools, platforms and paradigms so I know how to do it about 70% of the time. When I don't, or don't have time for it, I just let it go.

But no matter your position, its very probable that your voice will be listened over that of a vendor consultant so if you can educate your boss with WHY (if not, you could go higher or try to influence someone else who can influence the person you want) there is a chance that your words will be taken before that of the external consultant.
So you agree that it is by no means mandatory?

Also, Denmark?
what? Sweden joined in 1995.

Denmark and the UK are examples of other EU states that were not communist that do not use the Euro
The US has something like 10x the number of cycling fatalities per mile. It is more dangerous here, though I grant you that the main hazard is not the fronts falling off our bikes.

I ride a Franken bike that my dad picked out of the trash. It's in good working condition, but in my defense, I simply enjoy tinkering with mechanics as a hobby.
I'm trying to bootstrap a forth and a scheme but i'm still at the thinking phase right now.
Yeah, I hear you. I would never rely on someone telling you. If you integrate adwords with salesforce you can truly track the customer from the first click to conversion, even months later. Could be worth looking into if you want to optimize your marketing spend.
"Structure and interpretation of computer programs"

Definitely recommended.
Interestingly enough, at least where I live in the Netherlands I find that most cheap bikes have handbrakes, and a lot of bikes have 3 speeds.

I agree that the infrastructure is a big thing too, though. If there's a chance of you failing on a snowy hill on the side of a highway, you're going to pay a bit more for something that won't fail as often.
Eh, no thanks. Then we can just scrap the EU and replace it with TTIP.

The entire point of the EU as an entity is that it allows people to move everywhere that companies and services can move to.

Additionally, the entire problem of the refugee crisis was that countries controlled their own border – and everyone refused to do anything, instead telling Greece to prevent them from entering, and Greece said they’d just open their borders. In fact, the EU only got control of the borders in September 2016! http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2016/...
Same here. We tried a few different explanations, some may have been from another source than Ian, but eventually the penny dropped, and now I always tie my shoes way faster than ever before.

I've used both, and cVim is superior to Vimium in every respect except for one: the scrolling. In cVim when I hold down 'j' to scroll down, it does an initial jerk, and then scrolls down. Doing the same in Vimium, it has a smoother scroll and doesn't have the annoying initial jerk. That one thing has kept me from switching from Vimium to cVim.
I agree that sometimes experts can make massive erroneous assumptions. Nutrition is a field that has suffered greatly from this.

However, many of the predictions like currency devaluation and market loss, that were dismissed as expert scaremongering tactics, did occur.

Actually, that kinda changed in September 2016 – because in the refugee crisis the countries were unable to control the outer EU borders properly, the EU got control of the national borders in September 2016, with the establishment of a European Border and Coast Guard: http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2016/...

EDIT: I can’t respond to your comment, but please read the article.
On the plus side it is full of pretty pictures, has a massive number of pages which can be used to press leaves or flowers, heat in the winter and a door stop in the summer to encourage airflow. There really isn't a bad quality about this book. Oh, and super cheap on the used market.

This is what I have noticed too. It is a way to start living in the country and then get a job (specially a entry-level job). Also to improve their fluency in the language of that particular country. UK is specially popular because they speak English.

A minority of those well educated people might get stuck, though.
There's a talk by moore on infoq about the ga-144. It's as exciting as a CPU talk can be.
Europe is learning the same thing that the United States did in its early days: it's impossible for a union of disparate states to survive without strong, overarching federal authority. It's as unpalatable to member states now as it was to the original colonies, but the alternative is to be subsumed by some outside, more centrally organized power. The Russians understand this, which is why they work to encourage nationalism among EU members. Once the infighting has weakened everyone, they can swoop into the vacuum and become this central authority.
Yea, they're bringing their A game.

Using government powers to protect the government from foreign subversion, more like. Seems like the intelligence community's exact mission, whatever you may think of the methods.
It could conceivably be used as a second-line defence, similar to content security policy. This may be a bad idea depending on how it is implemented and whether the system is tested with it turned off.
At my last company, we worked with Google's in-house team to build adword campaigns, eventually spending the better part of a million dollars over the course of 9 months or so, with free assistance from them in the development of campaigns and with their ongoing guidance and advice. From our meetings with them, they were quite confident that our strategy was appropriate, that there existed an audience that we could reach via our keyword choices, and that they could drive the kind of traffic we needed to our site.

It was an abject failure, and a chief contributor to the downfall of the company.
No, they won't. You can't cherry pick in this situation. You got free movement in EU because of the Bosman ruling, it's the law, everything less than that is a step back and we can't afford steps back. It's like when your girlfriend asks for some space. It's the beginning of the end and. nothing good can come out of it.
Yeah, I suspect you're correct at the moment. In fact, TaPL looks pretty approachable for an academic book.

But it seems to be there's a place for a more popular book on type systems and making a statically-typed language, in the vein of this Crafting Interpreters book (and others like it).

Perhaps I'll read TaPL, write a nice statically-typed language, and then write the book I'm looking for.

Nope, anti-EU rhetoric went up. It just wasn't effective as pro-EU sentiment in the population rose (from mostly already high baselines).
The Master Algorithm by Pedro Domingos
You are not sure that anyone every attempted that? How about the Soviet Ruble with the USSR? I think that is the last one to date...before the Euro.
And the effect is an insolvent banking system, mass unemployment in southern Europe and an inflation 'Horror-Kurve' in Germany. In effect, It's creating even larger imbalances than those it was trying to avoid.
If you maintain a large open source project during work hours then that arguably is "sponsorship". Looking at the Keras commit log it seems he pushes frequently.
immigration "rates"
That doesn't mean that a 500 is a good UX. We give error messages on invalid form input for a reason.
> Do you recall doing group projects in school ever? I do. They're poorly designed by faculty, most of whom have little experience other than working alone all day in front of a class of 30.

And they are poorly executed by students because they don't really have anything like a job at stake.

I don't do group classes when I teach. There is no way for me as the "manager" to actually impact the group dynamics. So, grading 6 groups is WAY harder than 30 individuals.

However, I make sure that assignments build on one another. By the end of the semester, practically every student curses themselves for how crappy the code they wrote at the beginning of the semester was.

Nothing drives home why you should write better code than being both the producer and consumer of crappy code.
First "un-elected and un-accountable bureaucracy" is wrong. The parliament is elected directly and the decision-making is not less democratic than any other member state.
Some problems and an example do not make the EU a failure. The economical and social advantages of EU have been already significant.

Worth+The+Wait?
Can the mind really heal the body? The placebo “healing” narrative revisited
Its not that TV is smarter; it had to catch up. SUN used to say the network is the computer. Everything is both nowadays.

The consumer/customer can use any device with internet (PC, laptop, tablet, phone) to watch a TV series a few hours (?) right after or even during broadcast. Those devices can also be used to watch YouTube and all the other streaming platforms whereas a traditional TV can't. I wouldn't assume malice. I suppose the thought was "wait, what. More functionality than TV? We can compete with that."

Except that these onboard 'computers' on TV are weak, and profit margins are apparently too low to increase that. Which means you end up with something similar as the mess of Android. Devices with firmware too expensive to maintain.

Like I said, I use an old monitor as TV. My personal belief is TV as we know it is dying. We're going to see a merge of monitor and TV soon (with monitor capable being a TV) and the elder will be able to watch TV the traditional way. But youth generally don't. This means funding of public broadcast TV like BBC in UK and NPO in NL will get cut. Its a downward spiral, already set in process long ago in 90s.

Disclosure: I'm not from USA though.
It's a lot harder when you realise that everyone is trying to optimise for Cycle count, rather than the number of Instructions/Nodes.
Didn't I tell AHK is the tool for that job ? It handles stuff like focus stealing, theming etc without any problems. Seriously, if there is no test, it might just be your high sugar levels. I don't know in what kind of stuff you are, but we develop software and services that entire country uses. If you do not make a test you can regress and it will probably happen in the worst possible time.

Also, I don't have testers, only developers. Testing is the part of the job which is mandatory. Along with some other stuff. :)

As Oil Crunch Bites, Nigeria Chooses China’s $40B Over Taiwan
Nope, EU countries have always had the possibility of border control (with some limitations).

Its just that not having border control is cheaper and allowing people work across birders is good for the economy. So basically until late 2016 the pros outweighed the cons.
For myself, and I'm sure others, the apps took off because:

1) Fares were lower when the 'x' versions came out. Original Uber was limo/SUVs to/from LAX and out of my price range. Then UberX came out. I don't use Lyft Line or whatever Uber's version of that is. I only 'share' rides with friends.

2) Convenience. The apps made it convenient to call and get an accurate assessment of when a car will show up. It sucked getting a taxi company to send a car reliably and know when they'll be around.

3) Crap drivers. In LA, every taxi I took I had to direct them step-by-step (unless it was an airport pickup as those folks seemed to know what they were doing) and they weren't that great to interact with, if it was necessary.

For the most part, Lyft drivers have been great (if sometimes weird). Uber drivers the past few years have seemed to basically be former taxi drivers.

Even after years of using the apps (and I mainly use Lyft now) I still think of it like the gypsy cabs I used to get in Russia, only much safer (for me as a guy) and more formalized (no haggling over payment).

It will be really interesting to see how Uber/Lyft and whoever else come along do when autonomous cars come along. I hope it's not a race to the bottom in terms of safety and reliability.

I also wonder what will happen to the drivers. I think right now people mainly use it to make some extra cash. I'm assuming there are some full-time Uber/Lyft drivers? But it will be another victim in this 'gig' economy where low/no-skills are replaced by automation.

My only other concern is who is going to clean up the trash from the cars after each ride? Will there be a vomit alert or tax if you someone gets sick in the back after a wild night out? It would seem you would almost need a car to come in for service after most every ride unless it's somehow being monitored.

US Department of Justice Announces Findings of Investigation into Chicago Police
Bought my first pair 4 weeks ago. I recently relocated from Sydney (somewhat ironic) to NY. I found a recommendation on reddit and couldn't be happier.

Orthogonal to shoes and such, I find that I end up searching for recommendations for products on reddit as opposed to a store or review engine. I prefer to know what enthusiasts think rather than a bunch of randoms who have voted based on a star system.

Are there are sites that just list products and have only a single recommendation for each category? "This is _the_ boot to buy if you are looking for cold weather boots. It's a good combination of warm, waterproof and stylish." That's basically what I was after and exactly what reddit delivered after some searching through relevant subreddits.
There was also that old man Rand McNally. Or stopping somewhere and asking for directions. I think you might've managed fine without the iPhone.

It's nice to get accurate directions when you really, really need it. There's also something to be said for getting lost or wandering every now and then.

The Algorithm Design Manual by Skiena.

Each section contains a story of some situation he was in where he faced a problem which he solved by applying one of various algo techniques (DP, divide and conquer, etc.).

I'm not convinced that a "logical form" can exist. It suggests there is a one true universal language of description which does not rely on context. But I'd argue that any language reduces the objects it describes to symbols, and there is no way to agree on such a reduction without some base agreed contextual understanding.
Then why is Europe experiencing such a huge problem now and not then?

Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists

Note, you have to be willing to put the time in, especially if your linear algebra is rusty or (like me) you have only a passing familiarity with complex numbers.

With that in mind, it's almost entirely self-contained and you can immediately start to make connections with classical computing if you're familiar with automata.

I've been interested in learning about quantum computing for a few years now and this book finally got me going.

https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Computing-Computer-Scientists...

[update]

As an aside it's a really great excuse to try out one of the many computer algebra systems out there. I gave Mathematica a trial for fun since I'd already used SageMath in the past.
I finished it up a few months ago and I cannot recommend it enough.

The real soul of SICP is in it's exercises however. It asks you to build on your own prior work in inventive ways, challenging you to solve the exercises correctly, but also to do so in a maintainable way.

I wrote up some supplementary material to make the experience smoother for a practicing programmer: High-level requirements of the chapter subprojects, Pitfalls and paradigms embedded in some of the footnotes, Answers to (nearly) all exercises, a testing framework for Chapter 4 interpreter (including the JIT compiler), a GUI for running Chapter 5 virtual machine here: https://github.com/zv/SICP-guile
For me it highly depends on the task - but I usually prefer 2 screens, even if the 2nd is smaller (like for example 27" + 12.5" laptop).

OK. I could start debating about HOAs and skyscrapers but I won't. I think people who read that metaphor understood what lays under it... Which is, the idea that you cannot take 28 countries who have a different History, different values, different interests, different language, different way of thinking, and ask them to all obey to the same rules and put them under the same constraints.
It's not that inefficient if you are not working with real 'VMs', but with containers (or something similar). The unikernel projects mentioned by the peer below (Ling, MirageOS) can spin up a container per request, respond and then tear it down in milliseconds. They are pretty interesting from a security perspective, especially when you couple them with a read-only image - I imagine it would be pretty hard to attack something that only persists for the time it takes to handle a single request.
EDIT: Peer is below.
