If by "taking refugees" you mean "using as troops and mercenaries in their wars against other border groups" sure.

They played a chess game with the people around them, and the right to settle or not within their rather arbitrarily defined borders was part of the game. Remember that the borders that they gave rights to enter were borders they established through imperial conquest anyways...

The Franks and the Goths both Romanized and created successor states that mimiced the Romans. To many of the people who lived in these areas the transition from Rome to these new states was so gradual they never fully clued into it. The successor states of Francia, Visigothic Spain, Lombardic Italy, etc. all inherited most of the legal and cultural framework of Rome.

Additionally the Western part of the empire fell for reasons probably not much related to barbarian invaders but more to economic and political decline. Taxation models shifted, landholding models shifted, raising large successful armies became harder, and the empire became harder to defend.

And the eastern half of the Empire continued with significant vibrancy for quite some time.

To be honest, your newspapers (primarily the tabloids) are famous/infamous for being junk. It would be hard almost anywhere in the world to print such trash and not have to suffer consequences (libel lawsuits, etc.).
Trouble is when it's 16 hours in a relatively comfortable seat that turns into a bed overnight with a choice of departure times (even including business jets in the price brackets we're currently talking about) versus 6 hours of relative discomfort with only one flight a day, it's less clear-cut a decision. Sure, there'll be some demand for it, but you need full aircraft on a very large number of routes for it to be a viable commercial aircraft programme.

To clarify: I live in the Netherlands and I was disagreeing with the fact that everyone takes off 4-6 weeks to travel around the world each summer.

Most people only get 5 weeks of holiday a year total (4 weeks is the legal minimum) and they usually spread out those days over the year. If you can travel the world for 6 weeks every summer then you have an above-average number of free days and probably an above-average income to be able to afford that much travel.

We do get vacation money (8% of your gross salary, usually paid in may) but that's not nearly enough for 6 weeks of travel unless you saved up a lot.
Yes, they do. (EDIT: In addition to the breakdown, look through the report I linked above, it splits out the employee and employer social security contributions in several of the tables and diagrams, which for the UK are the employee and employer national insurance contributions)

The median salary in the UK in 2015 was roughly 27,500 GBP.

Let's do the numbers as percent of wages first. This won't match perfectly with the OECD numbers as I haven't matched up the personal allowance rates etc. by tax year.

But currently, 27,500 means your taxable income is 16,500 (after subtracting the personal allowance). On this you'd pay 20% income tax, or 3,300 and 8.5% employee national insurance for roughly 2,332. Your total tax would be 28.5% of your taxable income, but only 20.5% of income once you factor your personal allowance back in.

If w're looking at employer contributions, I don't know exactly what they stand at this moment, but it used to be 12.5% of gross salary. If we adjust the numbers above, that means 3437.5 in employer contributions for a total tax wedge of ~29.3%. Note that I have not taken into account the lower earnings threshold etc. for employer national insurance contributions, which I believe you should, so I think the total would actually be lower, but even so even when applying it to the full amount you actually still end up below the OECD figure.

Both of the above excludes council tax. Council tax is of course tricky because it depends on the property you live in and your council, and whether or not you live in the property alone.

Now in my property that adds 1600/year for a family. Though you wouldn't live here if you were a single earner family on an 27.5k salary, that'd drive the total tax wedge up to 34.5%. As a single, you'd get half off, and end up with a total tax wedge of 31.9%. Looking at the gross wage percentages, it'd bring taxes to 26.3% (couple) or 23.4% (single) respectively.

If you end up choosing the US, and go to an at will state, keep in mind that your employer can fire you for wearing the wrong color of socks, even if they never told you which color is the right one (no, really).

Getting new hires up to speed is expensive enough that they'd be pretty stupid to actually do this. Sure a few do, but it isn't common.

Also, a couple minutes with google turns up this: https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=AVD_DUR . If it says what I think it says, getting a new job really is easier in the US (like it should be, because as any economist will tell you this is what has to happen when a bad hire is less of a disaster for the employer).

I think it boils down to whether you want to take care of yourself, or if you let the state do it for you.

In part, yes.

But also, there are two approaches to reducing downtime. You can increase MTBF (make things more reliable, make it harder to get fired); or you can reduce MTTR (make things easier to fix, make it easier to get hired somewhere new). Europe goes with the first approach, the US goes with the second (which I very much prefer, because it doesn't gum things up).

Separately, there's also making downtime less of a problem (failover systems, all the various other social safety net things). The US is generally known to kinda suck at this.
This is disingenuous accounting, imo.

It assumes these are "additional jobs" not substitute jobs. In reality the people employed would have probably been employed elsewhere if not for this plan.
Ehhhh... Personal preference, I don't want autonomy at work. I'm much happier being a cog in the machine, going to work at 9, leaving at 5.

I'm a software engineer and work is a means to an end for me, to feed my family, give me financial security, and enable me to do the things I want to do when I'm not at work. For the most part I enjoy what I do but I would strongly prefer to spend less time at work and have more "me" time. I certainly don't want the responsibility and stress of my own business.

The epitome of happiness is certainly not starting your own business for most of Americans.

> I am not talking about dev boards, I am talking about Chinese OEMs that do not give a crap about open-source.

As far as I can discern, they literally do not give a crap and do the bare minimum to get a half working Linux BSP so they can run an ancient version of Android. Then it gets used for your security camera, and that is why you have 20 shitty IP cams running kernel 2.6 calling home to Hunan Province.

That BSP will rarely be released to the public, much less mainlined, and it is sure to be mixing proprietary code with GPL'ed code. *BSD doesn't even factor into the equation, since GPL compliance doesn't matter to Allwinner or Rockchip.
Short answer is surely an information theoretic one: if a neural net acquires knowledge, it needs to put that knowledge somewhere, and the state of the net is the only place it can be going. Sure, training the net forces it to store that knowledge as efficiently/lossily as it can get away with per the training criteria, but the fundamental information has to go somewhere. Doesn't it follow that if you run a DNN with a smaller memory footprint it will be able to learn less stuff (or its learning will be more sloppy/lossy)?

It sounds like some of this piece argues that implementation choices like SIMD instructions are forcing particular pieces of DNN state to be constrained to certain sizes for efficiency; so I guess the argument there is that there is wasted precision in a lot of implemented state storage that isn't meaningfully useful for the network to capture its learning; that's reasonable - the bit resolution for a network weight should be driven by the mathematical precision of the model, not the practical constraints of hardware. But if you ran those numbers it's also perfectly possible (I guess) that You would find your DNN wants 128bit weights and on current hardware is actually limited by the precision of the weights and states we permit them to store - and that given more memory depth they would be able to learn more.

This seems to start from the premise that we're giving DNNs more memory than they need. Is that actually a given?

Arch Linux has a LTS kernel available in official repo. Why not using that?
A fundamental limitation of concentrating systems is they only work well with direct solar irradiance - it's very hard to concentrate diffuse solar rays coming from random directions, as you have on any overcast day. This dramatically reduces the potential generated power in locations that don't have consistently clear skys (i.e. most places). So a high efficiency flat panel with a promising route to commercialization and built by a reputable company is a great step.

You're comparing median salary in Berlin with the high end in the US, and you are ignoring much of the complexities that were already mentioned such as the incredibley high cost of living in San Francisco where google and facebook pay those salaries.

I'm in the Boston market and median salary for devs is around 80-90k when you include all skill levels, but every single dev I know has roommates or an hour+ commute into the city and higher healthcare costs than Germany.

I'd believe that you would make more overall money in the US once you got to the higher end of the market, but it's not as simple as a calculation as you are making it out to be

Database modeling should be the foundation of any non-trivial application. With a proper data model, there are ways to reason about the data and hence the application as well. Also, with the advent of new client-server communication like GraphQL and Hasura, the frontend developer needs to rely on schema specifications for designing the applications.
It's just semantics, but it confuses matters because most people don't include the payroll tax amount when talking about tax rates. I agree it plays into the tax pressure, but it makes it necessary to be very precise when describing it or you end up with confusion like the one above...

It's really not - in the EU the difference between median net income in say Norway 41 483€ or Denmark 28 364€ and Romania 2 315€ and Bulgaria 3 332€ - that is over 10x differences between poorest and richest countries. US doesn't have that level of disparity between states even if you count Puerto Rico.

That's why articles like 5 this, 7 that are popular, but if you do something like "247 alternatives", or "All the things that are like...", nobody will read it.

> None of the Nordic countries have taxes as high as the ones you outline above for average earners, though it is possible in some instances if you're earning substantially above average.

Yes, I'm above average income for Sweden. Roughly my employer pays 1/4 payroll and 3/4 to me as gross salary. I pay 1/3 tax on gross salary and keep. 2/3. That means the net share of the employers' expense is roughly (2/3)x(3/4) which is 1/2 or 50%.

For a median income, the calculation would roughly instead be: the employer pays 1/4 payroll and the employee 1/4 income tax on that, meaning the employees take-home earnings are (3/4)x(3/4) ~ 0.56 so about 44% taxes (Which is surprisingly close to the figure you had there of 42.7%)

The VAT in my calculation was obviously the most exaggerated one because as you point out - a lot of my expenses have lower vat, or even negative tax (I pay a boat load of interests every month, which effectively have a -30% tax since they are completely deductible, even from earned income not just cap gains).

Oh: A source of great injustice in Sweden is that renters (predominantly low income earners) don't deduct interest rate expenses of those who own property (their landlords) while those who own their property deduct a crapload of interest, especially since we have a weird housing system with lots of huge long-term loans (100y mortgages are norm). Basically anyone who owns a flat or house deducts $5-25k a year of interest rates from their income tax. Essentially it's a huge transfer of money from renters to owners. A very regressive tax if you ask me.

Think for a second who the target market is: developers. Many, many developers nowadays have a Python or Ruby environment already set up, or both. I'm not even a developer and I run Python, Ruby, and Node utilities without much added complexity.

Plus, the whole point of a decent package manager is to simplify the "shitloads installation" process. Then again the situation might be better on Mac, where Homebrew installations have maybe one or two dependencies, then on your typical Linux distro which will install dozens of libraries separate packages. But then the difference is purely psychological, and that's why commands like "yum autoremove" exist.
That's not how I interpret it. I don't read "has no defined semantics" as "you can't make up your own". All that says to me is that the RFC doesn't explicitly define any semantics.

The other line I would guess is there because in the past the RFC was worded a bit differently, such that there's tech (webservers or whatever) out there that ignores request bodies on GET, so using it may lead to issues using those pieces of tech.

You can really do whatever you want. I'm not a fan of restrictive/pedantic intepretations of the spec, because HTTP is necessarily something that is really up to the developer in every way. Your database sure doesn't care if it's doing a non-idempotent write as a result of a web request that was a PUT.

Spec or not, it makes sense to be able to support a richer query language through the only HTTP verb specified for retrieving data. Just accepting that as something we can't do because some RFCs say this or that is a bit silly, because most apps out there can support it just fine. Elasticsearch is a much better piece of software because it ignored that bit of advice. (And I've had no problems running Elasticsearch through various different proxy layers, so software like nginx /haproxy also don't seem to care if you use a GET request body).
