Like I said, they're a remote company, and therefore can hire people in cheaper regions, and don't have to adapt to more expensive markets (like your own).

I fail to see how this disproves it, it merely proves that you're not a good choice for them (because you live in a, relatively, expensive region).

That depends on the state and what kind of railroad police you're talking about. In California they are full sworn officers who have general police powers (i.e., they're not limited to operating on railroad property). In other states it's different.

Amtrak police are federal agents with nationwide jurisdiction. That makes some degree of sense when you realize that pursuit might easily cover several states. The crime itself might even cover several states -- imagine someone burglarizing sleeping compartments on the train. When he hits the first one the train is in Minnesota, but by the time he finishes, the train is in Wisconsin. Having federal jurisdiction avoids pissing contests about which state has authority.

The situation is similar for the sky marshals on planes.

> In the rest of the world, police is much more centralised... New Zealand (admittedly a small country)

The US is broken into "normal" country size blocks - i.e. States. Kiwis have a lot more faith in centralized government though. Many aspects of American society have significant duplication due to a perceived loss in autonomy if resources are consolidated. For example, I live in a metro area of 4 million people that has over 100 local government entities (each suburb has it's own council etc), most with their own emergency services, public works departments, and own set of regulations. It's insane.

> The police don't have fancy equipment, if they need an APC, or helicopters
They have one helicopter (http://www.police.govt.nz/contact-us/station/air-support-uni...), it used to be called the "Eagle" when I was a kid growing up in Auckland.
I mostly agree. I would actually pay UPS a monthly fee to takeover my mail delivery if it were an option.

Do you live in a city? In my (albeit very anecdotal) experience, folks in cities HATE the USPS, while in the suburbs they seem to be great. I live in Philadelphia but work in a small suburb just across the bridge in New Jersey, and it's like night and day. I absolutely hate dealing with USPS in the city. Service is slow, they are miserable, say they leave packages when they don't. They "attempt" delivery so I ALWAYS have to go to the post office to pick up my packages (which takes usually an hour or two of my time). Then you have to worry about things like packages being stolen. But in the suburbs it's the complete opposite. The woman (it's always the same woman) at the post office is super friendly, very nice, service is fast, there's never a long line.

Incidentally, I have the exact same experience with liquor stores in PA (which are state run).

As a owner of a novena laptop, I'm always happy to see other OSHW laptops.

Though the thing with the TERES-I is, it just doesn't seem to be made for daily use. There is only 1GB of RAM, no (m)SATA, the eMMC is rather small and the only expansion seems to be a uSD card. Even something like the eMMC modules the people from hardkernel put on their boards would up the usability quite a bit. I'd love to like it, but I'll have to continue searching for something 64Bit ARM I can just toss into my backpack to play and tinker with on the go.
About F# and .NET Core, you can read more info (usage/bugs/workaround) in the wiki https://github.com/dotnet/netcorecli-fsc/wiki/

The only ide who support f# and .net core is VSCode (with Ionide extension who add f# support)

I like the idea. I want to start studying Software Design (economist here) and did some research and found the BEng Software Engineering from Edinburgh. I am currently trying to replicate it. If I had know about your page before, maybe I would have taken your suggested path.

I've just started, but I can say that some courses (from this particular degree) are not available in a MOOC version, like "Functional Programming with Haskell" (1st semester) and "Computational Logic" (1st semester). But for CSCI particularly, I'm sure there are more MOOC courses available.

In the "Math Segment" of your path, I would include "Linear Algebra". There is a good MOOC version in edX called "Linear Algebra Foundations to Frontiers" from U. of Austin TX.

There's going to be a ton of money to be made on this ETF through loans.

Shorting rules require that the party doing the short sale acquire the securities which is usually done by borrowing from someone else who has them on hand. In the case of hard to borrow securities (ex: fresh dot com IPO) the interest rates on the loans can reach 100-200%.

I bet the Winklevoss twins will be owning a substantial amount of the security themselves purely to be able to loan it out. If they're already planning on owning a substantial bitcoin position, it doesn't increase the risk much further as stock loans are usually capitalized 102-105% of market value (though the swings in BTC prices will make this interesting).

Don't forget the Boston bombers ran to MIT and killed a security guard.

While this is an extreme case some University are in urban environments. Take GaTech for example, every year someone is robbed or even murdered walking near campus. The campus police usually have to fend off vagrants or drug addicts from nearby.
Your #1 is my main complaint. I live at the end of a long gravel driveway which is admittedly not always in the best of shape, especially in the winter. UPS (and other non-USPS) carriers still have no choice but to come down the driveway. USPS will often do things like hang boxes of the mailbox (where they've been stolen from time to time) or jam them into the mailbox. (The situation has gotten somewhat better since I got a huge mailbox that can accommodate most packages.)

If I sell you something I know you have the money for, but can't afford, that's a predatory action.

If I convince you to harm yourself, that's a predatory action.

We have laws of various forms making these actions illegal. They may not be federally regulated, but could probably stand to be, especially when it's done at scale.

Who needs protection of the law in those situations? The emotionally exploitable or the unethical salesman?
Fasting is something you need to train. If you have trouble with it so far, the approach outlined is to irregular. It's easier to get your body used to something you repeat on a schedule.

Fasting every second day is quite doable; and actually the subject of quite a bit of research. (I guess it's easy to write papers about it.) On the Internet limiting your eating hours every day to an 8h or even 4h window seems to be more popular. Eg from 13.00 to 17.00. People report it's doable to get used to those meal timings after a few days. And the limited time window make it easier to restrict calories; the only way any weight-loss diet scheme works in the end.

Just to give you something to Google: The former is often called alternate day fasting; the latter intermittent fasting.

The BBC ran an interesting documentary: "Eat, Fast and Live Longer" https://vimeo.com/103656060

It's such a shame you had to pirate that CD. I feel happy for young/aspiring programmers today. Open source has made programming so much more accessible.
> Well that's just discriminating against nerds

This is exactly the problem. You've assumed that 'nerds' -- people who are skilled and passionate about tech things -- are male. It's that kind of assumption which enforces a massive mental barrier for women to be able to consider themselves legitimately passionate and skilled about tech, and also for men to recognise them as such too.

Until the association of nerds with masculinity is broken up, boys and men will dominate tech at the expense of others. And until that that point, programs like Google's which foster different ('minoritean') associations with being passionate and skilled with tech will be needed.

I read that book a while ago. But I remember it being about calorie counting?

In any case, whatever gets you to restrict your calories works for losing weight. Some approaches are just harder on willpower than others. (I suggest NOT moving to Singapore for weight control---it's delicious there. Though a friend of mine likes their smaller portions.)
I'm trying to help point you in the right direction based on my own experience, not be arrogant. It sounds like you would get a lot out of spending some time working on CI/CD concepts.

In short throwing your hands up in frustration at the complexity of software is not a solution and gets you nowhere. The way we deal with "infinite ways to fail" is to control the environment. These days, quality projects are expected to version control their environments and conduct test deployments within a representative set of environments using a representative set of configurations.

Docker provides an easy way to do this ("always deploy on <distro>-<os>-<version>"), but it's only one approach. Another free and relatively straightforward place to start getting up to speed would be automating build and test processes with Travis CI for an open source project.

Deploying to any number of tested environments is trivial.
From the piecemeal nature of these programs it seems to me most likely that they were resources from past initiatives by their local offices that this website just aggregated.

There's little evidence that labour laws cause unemployment. This meta-analysis (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2705499) points out that minimum wage laws have little to no effect. Wider analyses (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1564-913X.2014....) also seem to conclude that labour rights have little effect ton employment rates.

Considering that RAM is the primary cost in hosted environments, I'd say that 800MB is anything but reasonable. In fact, as a guy coming originally from a non-Java background, that seems downright opulent. Perhaps that's fine if it's the only thing running on that machine, but is that very realistic? A database, some daemons, cron jobs... It seems uncouth to me that the business logic should take up as much RAM as the data itself.

I run a fairly complex Clojure app and it uses 1.5GB of RAM all told. Factor in cron jobs, caching, DB flushes and other periodic spikes on the machine and whoops! we're over 2GB used. To prevent thrashing and OOMEs, I sized up to a 4GB VM, doubling my monthly costs (there are several of these boxes).

Now yes, I can go through and swap out libraries to slim the beast down. But that would mean rewriting large chunks of it, since so few Clojure libraries are interoperable and most simply wrap "enterprisey" (and heavy) Java libraries in sexier syntax. And if I'm rewriting it, I might as well avoid the whole mess and pick an ecosystem with a more streamlined standard library.

It's tough. I adore Clojure, but the combination of Clojure+JVM has made deployment and management less fun and more expensive than necessary. The JVM is awesome, but, just as it's not the hog so many claim it is, it's also not sleek.

That's funny. I didn't know that had happened. I can't think of any serious skiing accidents that have happened in/near my social circle, nor on the news, where a helmet would have been determinative to the outcome.

Thanks for feedback. We looked at the CS and management degrees/minors offered by a lot of universities. We did our best to craft a path that reflects requirements most have.

We also need a major update in courses listings. That is coming.

People don't complain about USPS because they suck at delivering to my "island" home in the middle of a swamp. They complain about USPS because somehow they seem to get a lot of employees who just don't try.

In my experience, Fedex and UPS deliver when they say they will. USPS "attempts" deliver all the time only for the package to fail to arrive. I live in the urban part of a small city/big town. There is essentially never a reason a package can't be delivered.

My latest gripe concerns the USPS person that delivers my daily mail. She loves to catch me outside and let me know that she doesn't "legally" have to deliver my mail if there is snow on my steps. I live in New England. Everyone has fucking snow on their steps.
I have a "notes" repo that I'm editing using... well, mostly Atom, sometimes nano.

I use Markdown for pretty much everything I write on my laptop, including notes, so printing them is no issue when I need to so.

I usually go down the "one topic, one file" path, and add a table of content on top (I have a command line tool that does that).

I push a portion of my notes to a public GitHub repo, and all of them in a private Git repo. Random example of me learning Ruby syntax: https://github.com/aleksandar-todorovic/notes/blob/master/21...
Huh? Where does UPS not ship to? I'm pretty sure they ship everywhere.
Thanks for your work on this, and for releasing it open source! I used to run Paul's app locally for peace of mind; now I self-host an instance of your version. Encoding the simulation in the URL is brilliant for sharing and teaching.
It's not about laziness. Fedex and UP ruthlessly measures the efficiency of their drivers by timing their every single activity. This information is displayed in real-time to managers back at the warehouse, who can see, for instance, if a particular delivery is taking longer than average.

This is why many drivers game the system by skipping deliveries that they think will take too long, or (for packages that require signature) wait for only ~5 seconds after knocking on the door before deciding that you must not be home.

These are not books that you read as leisure, so probably one can't read it continuously. And I would recommend to have a personal project (or maybe one borrowed from another person) to test the concepts as you read. As people have social life and work, this 6 months time span seems acceptable.

And while bankroll management is certainly an important and required skill to endure as a professional poker player at any level, it is by no means what differentiates high-stakes pros from pros at the lower levels. There are lots of small stakes and mid stakes players who practice sensible bankroll management, but who will never acquire the skill necessary to make it at the highest levels. If you want to get a sense of how much skill goes into playing poker at the highest level, you should watch some of Phil Galfond's strategy videos on YouTube (see for instance [1]). Poker strategy has come a long way since Super System[2] and The Theory of Poker[3]. Even players who were considered very good just five years ago, can no longer compete at the highest levels.

Here are figures from the latest Commonwealth budget, and the latest inter-generational report: http://imgur.com/a/UWFAa

Tobacco excise takes in $9.4bn in revenue per year, and is expected to hit north of $10.5bn over the next four years, due to the recent excise hike. This will make tobacco the largest 'earner' when it comes to excise and customs duty (even beating diesel and petrol).

The IG report contends (as it has for many years now) that when people hit about age 62, their individual tax / revenue curves cross-over. By 70, they are receiving public expenditure 2.5 times greater than the tax they pay. By 75 it's about 3 times. By 80, it's about 4.5. And before anyone plays the "you're a monster" card, I also think it's good that people are living longer and not dying from smoking related illness.

But I would suggest that public finance is not the strongest grounds to argue anti-smoking on. The fact that it kills so many people, in pretty awful ways, is more than enough justification for us to try and hasten tobacco's demise. Please think carefully about the issue, because you'll be better able to pressure our politicians to take more effective action (and also make it impossible for them to quietly go backwards).
