> in fact the UK has been a net contributor to the EU for a long period of time

Your membership fee was lower (per-capita, per-GDP) than other countries. That membership fee has bought you services, the same services that other countries have been enjoying, and paying at a premium compared to the UK. The UK has been a member of the EU by its own decision for over 30 years. Nothing to complain about there. On the other hand, EU members which have been paying premium membership price should very seriously consider adding to the exit bill whatever rebates have been granted to the UK during all these years.

> As we are leaving the EU will we in some way get to reclaim some of the assets paid for over the period of time? Do we get the roof of the parliament in Strasbourg?

When I am renting an apartment, and I need to pay for something that needs repair, I do not ask for money back whenever I leave. There may be some assets that you have a right to claim a stake in, though. There are also some open bills. That is a matter of exit negotiations.

By the way, who is paying for the financial burden that the negotiations themselves are going to put in the EU? I hope that is also a matter of negotiations, and since it is a UK decision to leave (which we respect), the UK must contribute specially to those costs.

> And given the current alignment of rules I wouldn't imagine it would be a huge burden

1. Since there will not be automatic law alignment, we can not guarantee this long-term

2. There won't be a framework to enforce this, since the EU will have no jurisdiction in the UK, and vice versa. Creating a third-party enforcement framework seems too big of a burden.

> Once we've left, well paying associated costs may be a sensible thing to do, but that's for us to decide!

For you ... and for the EU. As said, I do not think it is in the interest of the EU to deal with issues at these level of detail with each potential partner. We already deal with this at the EU level, put it in to law, and let the common EU enforcement mechanisms do the management. No need to duplicate this structure for each partner and each scheme that our partners would like to enjoy.

A better solution, discussed at length, would be to negotiate access to the EU market (which includes these kind of schemes) with the UK. But this has already been ruled out by Theresa May, since it assumes acceptance of the four freedoms.
I experienced this last summer (2016).
I was in Portugal, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Portuguese's Netflix still had a tv series that the UK one had ditched.

The pleasantness didn't last long when I realised that my poor knowledge of Portuguese wasn't enough to read the subtitles!
There's nothing wrong with being an optimist mate. You're much happier in life. You may want to look up Edward de Bono. He has some quite readable books on thinking.
The author of the OP article notes this as well, but seems hopeful that this is just one more step in creating a single digital market in Europe as well:

> He added; ”Agreements are now needed on our other proposals to modernise E.U. copyright rules and ensure a wider access to creative content across borders. I count on the European Parliament and Member States to make it happen.”

> That looks like a reference to the overhaul of copyright announced mid-September which, at least in the European Commission proposal, would see the “country of origin” principle currently in place for cable and satellite programming extended to broadcasters’ online services. In other words, if a broadcaster is licensed to serve one jurisdiction in the E.U. with an online service, they would be authorized to serve that online service to all E.U. member states.

Emphasis mine; that part looks interesting. If that happens, might that mean that Netflix can legally serve content licensed in Germany to customers in Belgium despite not having the redistribution rights for that country? That is, you can't license films or series for redistribution in just one EU country, you either license it for all or none. Makes sense given the scale of the EU.

Languages like Java and JavaScript don't let you lay data out in memory directly, nor do they give you much on control over how memory is accessed, so any performance benchmark involving C is entirely superficial.

I can write 2 programs in C, both which iterate over some amount of elements and perform the same calculations on the same amount of data, and have one take 500ms and the other take 8s. It's all a matter of how you lay things out in memory.
You can turn almost all of that stuff reasonably easily - there are a variety of tweaking tools of varying degrees of completeness.

> Meaning private data? Is this covered in the TOS?

Your question is right on the mark. The last attempted privacy policy change, less than two months ago, did cause some reactions:

"The latest update to the Privacy Policy allows some Evernote employees to exercise oversight of machine learning technologies applied to account content"

https://techcrunch.com/2016/12/14/evernotes-new-privacy-poli...

"The policy changes have to do with machine learning, which Evernote says it is using to “help you get the most out of your Evernote experience.” Evernote wants to let its machine learning algorithms crunch your data, but it doesn’t want to stop there — the company also wants to let some of its employees read your notes so it can ensure that the machine learning is functioning properly."

Yeah, right now Netflix is available to you basically everywhere, but the regional licensing means you get to see only the content available in the country you are presently in, not where you are a subscriber.

Not parent, but I've built my own computers for almost 20 years.

As the articles author himself questions, he should have gotten the marginally more expensive CPU, and definitely the GPU with more RAM.

* The overclockable CPU doesn't just mean that you very easily could get a 10%+ performance boost without much work, but also that you often (depending on your specific chip) can lower the voltage and make it run much cooler/quieter, which is something I increasingly care about if I'm using it a lot.

* He writes that fitting the model in RAM is basically the most important part, but then saves less than a dinner out by basically halving the RAM on the GPU he bought. The chip is otherwise the same though, so performance is only dependent on whether you fill that RAM or not.

* The Noctua D15 the parent mentioned is a CPU cooler where Noctua is a long standing high performant brand, and D15 is a specific model with a 15 inch fan and comparable sized heat sink. There are of course other brands, but I myself also usually end up with Noctuas. The reason it's important is that however fast you can dissipate heat from the cpu/case, the less chance of throttling, and the larger headroom for potential overclocks you get.

Airflow and room for larger heatsinks is also why he recommended not going for an ITX. A linked benefit is again the potential for a quieter system.

I haven't gone much into ML (yet), but I currently have a system with:

* I7 6700K (the difference to I5 6600K being higher base clock and hyperthreading, which is more important to computational work than to gaming, so if you have the money, definitely go for the I7)

* 32GB DDR4 (as author mentioned, RAM is cheap). The clock/timings on RAM isn't really as important, but try to find the best you can find for a given price point.

* An Nvidia GTX 1080: It's not Titan X or Z, but almost, at less price. It definitely blows the budget for a $1000 system, but I agree that the entire 10 series is good.

If the limit is a firm $1000, I would get something like this:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XHV9Fd

And if more funds is available, I'd get more storage and RAM, then a better CPU, then a better GPU, then maybe bump the chassis up to an R5 (same brand), possibly another motherboard. In that order. There's always something better, so you compromise based on budget.

Startup marketing is not growth hacking
Reminds me of an "efficient programming" exercise back at university.

We had to implement getuid [0] as an executable in C, which just looks up /etc/passwd by name and returns a number.

By using specialised trie-like data structures and, in the end, also custom memory alignment instead of malloc, we squeezed the whole algorithm runtime down to an average of 45 cycles or so.

That's actually exactly what parse did. They used a slow query log to automatically create up to 5 indexes per collection. Unfortunately this did not work that well especially for larger apps.

I guess 5 indexes might be a little short for some apps. On the other hand too many or too large indexes can get a bottleneck too. In essence, you want to be quite careful when choosing indexes for large applications.

Also some queries tend to get complicated and choosing the best indexes to speed up these queries can be extremely difficult especially if you want your algorithms to choose it automatically.

I agree that being under the GNU isn't necessarily good for projects. Look at https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=octave for example. Many of these patches have in fact been merged, but nobody really knows how to use this bug tracker. Actually editing the wiki requires asking on IRC. See here: https://octave.sourceforge.io/

Octave should have a steady stream of students who have been made to use Matlab trying to use it instead. If the barriers were lower these people might get hooked on contributing. As it is, I imagine they take one look and think "old and busted". I don't think it's necessary to use Github, but the development tools should be something people can use frictionlessly, which isn't the case now.

Do you have any numbers to back up your statement? How is the revenue of Renault and Nissan from their electric car programs? At least they sell well, so I would assume they are profitable.

And of course Tesla is not really profitable as in the quarterly revenue, but according to their statements, they do get above 20% profits from selling cars which get eaten up by their aggressive reinvestments - the company is growing by about 50% year over year.

I know not at the same volumes, but almost all supercars follow that model as well. People will put down their deposits before it's even announced, wait several months for the launch, and then have a build window potentially in the year+ timeframe. Although a small number of units, there's an even higher monetary investment and commitment.

We've not seen it to this extent in the "affordable" scene, but even if you flip it, there's probably enough market demand to be able to wipe your face on the deal if you did want to chase the new shiny thing announced in the meantime (which may or may not have extended build times too).

That being said, I'm with a lot of people here that aren't new car buyers - I know you need new car buyers to have a used car market, but I'm not tuned into the mentality of it all.

There are many, usually older companies, where managers have stopped doing their jobs long time ago.

That also happens on 'good' connections, when some crappy isp router drops the packet without any icmp. The request fails only after a tcp timeout, which is large enough to be noticed.

That was a surprisingly frustrating article to read. It kept repeating the exact same things just worded slightly differently over and over again, like the four or five times it mentions machine learning being a major part of Evernote's decision to go with Google, without ever explaining what, exactly, that machine learning would be.

The whole thing reads like a press release targeted at an audience that doesn't know anything about the actual mechanics of cloud computing.

Edit: Fortunately Evernote have published a great five-part series on their blog[1] which goes into much greater detail about the transition to GCS, although there's still no explanation of how machine learning fits into their future plans.

This opens up a lot of investment/business opportunities.

Ethiopia is land-locked and given its not-so-great relationship with Eritrea, uses Djibouti as its primary port. The time-savings of the railway will bring down port-to-Addis shipment times to 12 hours which is awesome considering it can take 3 days now (although the customs process will need to be improved to really speed it up)

It will also reduce the costs necessary to repair the roadways that trucks take to get to Djibouti and back. The incoming lane on these roads is often rutted like crazy due to the weight of the goods and truck drivers are not always the most reliable people.

Ethiopia is also home to one of the fastest growing economies in the world and it is extremely import-dependent. The lower the costs for transit, the lower the costs for the consumer.

RE: wanting to be where the growth is, you really need to be here to see it (I spend most of my time in Ethiopia) You don't have to know the local language and you don't need millions of dollars but you need to have an appetite for risk and be an extremely patient person. Nothing generally works out the way you think it will here so be open to other outcomes and be resilient through it all.
