Quite a lot of modern politics seems to be making sensible but mildly complex solutions seems stupid, wasteful or malicious. Once you recognize the pattern you see it everywhere.

That's a great and very important point, I think. Oversimplification goes hand-in-hand with populism – essentially the promise of simple, elegant (and ultimately unrealistic) solutions to complex problems.

It was particularly evident in the UK during the recent EU referendum.
I'd love to.

It's an example of technology enabling the production of more with less human input, and therefore the freeing up of humans to do other things such as develop more technology. Similar work has been done for e.g. textiles; in the pre-machine era, the amount of work for even a simple shirt in today's minimum-wage-dollars is something like $3000.

The dishwasher/washing machine are, along with textile automation, major liberators of women's work.

Having seen some documentaries about Trumps past behavior my cynical expectation would be that he is now plotting to retaliate personally against the judge who "did this", and have him/her fired or otherwise removed.

That's a nice step in the right direction, thanks for bringing it to my attention. It does mean a fair bit of rewriting though which is mostly what my initial comment was trying to get across, it's a different world over there :)
I think you protest too much. I've lived in both the cities and suburbs. I prefer the cities. As a family with an solo child the suburbs was mentally draining for our boy. What's the use of the backyard if you're playing by yourself. The park was too far away for him to walk and he had a good chance of being the only kid there, because of backyards. And finally, everyone was so damn insular. In the year we lived there we only knew a few neighbors.

I'm in a low tax state which means the schools are chronically underfunded. Our school in the suburbs relied on parent fundraising to cover a lot of extracurricular stuff. Our city school relies on the density of the student body and the density of property taxes to fund extracurricular programs. It seems like everyday he's sent home with something he wants to sign up for. We sold he car, bought bikes, and ride everywhere including the park.

We gave the suburbs a shot, it didn't work, so we left. My brother, on the other hand loves it. Big house for him and his spouse, the kids, and their dirt bikes.

If this is the case, the answer is to revise the H1B Visa program, not ban everyone with a current visa including a baby travelling to the US for urgent heart surgery. These are people with current approved visas that already are doing a job for these companies that the companies are relying on them doing.

This isn't about whether people should or should not have H1B visas. Even if you're completely against the H1B visa program, I don't expect you'd advocate frog-marching every current holder of such a visa out of their offices and shoving them on planes.
And what is disproved with that claim? I've made my own stats:

Searching for "unsafe {" in the source files of Rust gives:

Matching lines: 2499 That's how many time some block is marked with "unsafe {"

Matching files: 663 That's how many files have it.

Total files searched: 8404 It's quite small source base.

But then I've removed the files in "test" folder. What I get is:

Matching lines: 1804, Matching files: 290, Total files searched: 1302

That means that almost every fourth rs file of Rust, when the test files are ignored, has "unsafe {" in it.

To quote you: "this in unavoidable." I agree, and nobody should pretend that it is avoidable. The reason people have to use C is exactly to do "hard stuff" on the "low" level you mention. Otherwise nobody would use anything but Python and equivalents.

What is called "low" level is actually the efficient algorithms and the efficient numerical calculations. And of course, once you implement that, you can keep the higher levels "safe." It takes a kind of honesty to be able to admit that much.

Disclaimer: I like Rust and I don't like extremists.

We used Python with Django (and django-rest-framework) in my old (non-financial) shop, and it was fine.
My opinions without any real insight into how practical/viable/useful they are:

- PCB prototyping. Board costs are way down but the 2-week turnound time kills a lot of nimbleness that could be gotten from a cheap in house rapid PCB prototyping machine. This has been tried without too much success (Othermill, LPKF, silver paint methods, etc.) imo. Isolation routing by copper ablation might even be a possibility.

- Oligonucleotide synthesis machine. This should be possible at the "hobbyist" level and would start bridging the gap to more accessible DIY bio.

- Resin 3D printing. Resin curing is one of the only methods where it's clean enough to not be hazardous, rapid and has the hope of consistent quality of 3D printing. There are some companies out there that are doing this already, of course, but I believe is still very ripe for innovation.

- DNA sequencing machines. Illumina still has a monopoly on whole genome sequencing. Even cheap genotyping at the consumer/hobbyist level would be a coup.

- Closed loop precision CNC machines. Right now most low-end hobbyist CNC machines are open loop. There's no reason, aside from NRE, that position feedback and other sensors couldn't be added to a host of CNC applications for low-cost CNC machines.

I haven't touched on some of the other electronics markets like pick and place machines that might be much more accessible with machine vision and other enabling technologies. With the DIY bio focused areas, a little infrastructure might enable other areas. For example, one step to solving the common cold might be tracking it's progress through a population, sequencing it as it crops up, seeing how it evolves and cataloging effective treatments. There's also microfluidics and "lab-on-a-chip" technology which seems like it's much more accessible now but it's not something I have a lot of familiarity with.

My opinion is that without open standards, free/libre software and free/libre hardware, all of these are almost a no-go from the start but I think that that opinion is in the minority.
"Calories in vs calories out" is not wrong. It's just a small part of a much bigger picture.

If you go into a caloric deficit your body will give a hormonal response. This response determines if your body will start using your fat reserves, your muscles or will just shut down. This hormonal response is dependent not only on how much you eat, but also on what you eat.

Eating a diet low in carbs enables your body to use up stored fat more easily and will leave you less hungry then a low fat diet. This makes it MUCH easier to stick to your diet.

How to blog so that people actually read your stuff
I'm not GP but I'll give it a try:

> You don't even have to take my word for it.

Honest question: how not?

> who would you not be if you weren't you?

Depending on how you parse the sentence, either "someone else" or "that's just a paradox". Essentially the concept of "me" as an entity is fundamentally flawed.

Playing with the meanings of "me" and "not me" in a subjunctive form doesn't make the question very interesting (as in non-trite), to be honest. I guess the intent is not to be fresh but to be thought-provoking or similar, or setting the listener in a certain mindset? Still, sets my mind in the "meh" state.

> Who are you not without that problem you are interested in solving?

I'm not my problems. I'm also not not-my-problems. Actually I am not (I isn't?). I don't see how this helps with anything, though.

Either way, your questions pose (to me) more philosophical thinking (which I already do, anyways) than mindbending or whatever. Maybe my mind is already bent... and I have to say it didn't go very well ;)

A long time ago I came to the conclusion that these questions are merely shortcomings in how language and cognition works. Metaphysics, ontology (and even epistemology) are just fun puzzles with no solution, which I'm ultimately obliged to answer with "who the f--- cares".

Kant was right.

Not that anything you said is directly contradicted by Kant. In fact I'd say it fits very well within the idea that "human mind creates the structure of human experience". It's just never been really useful to me in any way. I really, really, want to know more of (and even believe in) your changework but, often being presented with vague ideas, no one has ever made a solid case on how it isn't, as GP said, charlatanry.

In Norway, if you are on a knowledge worker visa, your salary needs to be competitive. This amount increases each year with inflation.

As an American working in Norway, I have to say that this is how it should be done in the US . My Norwegian coworkers do not resent me because I was not hired because I am any cheaper than they are. And, I get a salary that allows me to meet the high cost of living here. If companies were allowed to pay foreigners significantly below industry standard, it would be a disaster. I don't understand why this is still standard practice in the US.

Oh wait, I do understand: it allows companies to pay less for labor and pad their profit margins. But it is bogus, and this is one Trump initiative I can get behind.
1,000 Practical Growth Hacks for Your Business
I see an opportunity for a continuous delivery platform , if you notice on stackshare people use Jira(trello) , github , gitter(slack) and travis/jenkins for their work , so much of context switching happens navigating(working) the tools. The idea here is to build one platform which will have all of this in Tabs and available to the teams in a hosted manner. So when one delivers code , the next tab he should be able to see a CI build kicked off and the following tab a docker container which is ready to host the built new code commit for QA.
How is that a constraint of modern capitalism? Because capitalism wouldn't build ugly, cheap skyscrapers in the town center?

>>I will anyways be charged in my home country for foreign income, I think.

For most countries in the world if you are not considered a resident then you usually are not taxed on foreign income. A counterexample is the USA, as Americans are taxed based on citizenship, and not residency[1].

This is a complicated but important topic. Consulting an accountant is your best option for your taxes.

Visas depend entirely on the countries that you intend to stay in. If you're only staying for 2-3 months at a time, it seems likely you will trigger any residency issues so perhaps visitor visas will be sufficient. However, another variable dominating ease of visa issuance is your passport/nationality[2]. I'm not a lawyer, and visas are easy to mess up and cause issues without careful planning, research and sometimes consultation with immigration attorneys (or at least discussing with the embassies/consulates of the countries you intend to rotate through).

Best of luck!

Domain – Domains – Euro Domain – EASY
To what extent does the EU need to substantially consolidate language further to become more effective? There are two dozen major languages spoken in the EU. Nearly half of the EU can't communicate well with the other half because they share no common language. How do you get the EU to pursue a standardization of language, such that ~95% of people in the EU are fluent in at least one EU-wide common language (whether Spanish, English or other)?
I mean, competently implemented background indexing shouldn't be a security risk or a performance issue.

Microsoft had those problems, too, when they introduced their own indexer with XP. Doing desktop support for slow XP boxes, you rapidly learned to disable the indexer first. But by roughly mid- to late Vista, it had ceased to be a general problem. (Maybe earlier; I had ceased to be closely involved with support by then.)

The other thing about an indexer like this is that you need it well integrated into the UI to get the benefit. macOS has Spotlight, which is excellent. Windows has Start search, which is OK for programs if you don't misspell the name, and tolerable for documents if you use the MS default home directory structure. I haven't used desktop Linux since Ubuntu 8 or so, so I don't know what it has, but if it is indeed a Spotlight-like experience they're shooting for, file indexing is just the start.
NPM Vet, a simple CLI tool for checking npm package versions
What comes to my mind is the Eclipse Modeling Framework. It's not exactly light-weight, but it always worked pretty well for my use cases. Throw a model at it (XML schema, annotated Java, ...) and it generates a Java implementation including a tree-based editor; certainly good enough for prototyping purposes.
Imagine, for a second, that there is no tax benefit to home ownership. In such a world, there is basically no reason to own a home. The cost of renting a home is about the same as the interest on a mortgage. The money that would go towards "principle" instead goes into your bank account.

The interest that you pay on a mortgage is tax deductible, which is essentially a subsidy exclusively available to people who make more than the amount of money required to own a home where they live. This subsidy for decentralized living is equivalent to a tax on the vastly more efficient centralized plan.

It's not intrinsic to our economic system.
> CICO would help them lose weight

The whole point is that it doesn't help them lose weight because it's unsustainable. Fat people can't manage to do that for more than a few weeks.

The rigid focus on the least useful fact (CICO) means that you're failing to give any useful, usable, information.

I've been wondering if there was a reason for those tiles to be yellow. Sure, it allows non-blind people to spot mistakes more easily, but it also seems that those wouldn't have been used as a decoration in the first place if they had been available in different colors (that said, never underestimate human dumbness).

I've also been wondering at the material those are made of. I am used to white, plastic dots, and I find them slippery when it rains, which is a bit dangerous, since they indicate danger area (they can get especially slippery/dangerous with roller blades, but that's not a great idea when it rains, altogether).
Because we don't have a general-purpose tree file format.
I don't believe this (H-1B Visa issue, not the article) is about discrimination based on birthplace. Personally, I have absolutely no problems with bringing in workers into this country. After all, that is one of the founding principles behind this country. My issue is... those that do it for the sole purpose of saving money. In other words, companies that cut "american employees" for H-1B visa holders because they'll be spending a fraction of the salary in the long term. Since I am an Indian, I also happen to know that those that come here are willing to take anything (unfair treatment) to immigrate here.

To sum up,
1) If US companies want to import employees, pay them US market rate for their skill-level and what their responsibilities are.
2) Those that exploit the H-1B visa sponsorship should not be given this leverage over their new employees simply because they were able to work in the US because they were sponsored.
Supplementary question: which of those "talks worth watching" have a transcript?
FWIW, comparing my experiences with several different "graphical equation editors" (fundamentally a flavor of tree-editor) versus editing LaTeX code directly, the tree editor loses every time. Yes, the tree editor is capable of providing an amazingly efficient interface for modifying parts of an existing expression - but when you start restructuring the whole expression things get messy fast. The plain code method is a bit rougher to read / enter in simple cases, but since it's just text in a text editor it doesn't have the same complexity escalation when doing unusual reorganizations.
I had to work with Pimcore CMS recently (https://www.pimcore.org/en) and was pleasantly surprised. It works like you describe, the data is organised very developer friendly (classes and collections of data a tree structure for organisation). I am not sure how regular people would get along with this but knowing only bloated, slow and clumsy wordpress in that space it was surprisingly efficient.
Just a small comment on why the desktop environment might need to parse such a file: How about sorting music files according to their real length? Many desktop environments support such a feature, and users like those features, too.

It depends on your requirements. ParEdit limits you to only perform AST transformations, which could be very good if you edit s-expressions or explicitly tree-like structures.

If I was working on lisp-like languages, I would definitely use it. But ParEdit didn't stick to me, even after a few attempts. I didn't like the key bindings, and I think that the interface is too complex for me.
