Language barrier is a bigger deal that you might think. One "advantage" Indian nationals have is that they learn English as a second language from childhood, and many schools and most colleges use English for instructions and in textbooks. This is a big motivator for emigrating Indians to choose the US.

Also, US has won the mindshare as the country to immigrate to. It is due to a combination of being the biggest economy, having the largest tech industry and research universities, and the "American Dream" being sold in the media.

Objectively, I would rate Canada and Australia as being more favorable destinations for most potential immigrants. But I must admit that ultimately I chose the US as well. But my reasons were slightly different, I fell in love with the national parks, the interstate highways, and the US constitution (especially the 1st, 2nd, and the 4th amendments).
Sure I agree with that and think the primary system does need to be cleaned up (and I'm even going to mention caucuses) or perhaps even scrapped in favor of a two round runoff system, but even as broken as the hybrid system is today, it does offer a wider choice than just A vs B.

The only thing that makes me sad when i am in Hanoi is the traffic.... besides that its a lovely city.
It does. But if you do the opposite, the layoff is likely to still inspire those best people to start looking on their own if they did not already do so before. And they are the ones most likely to find something and follow through.

Layoffs often have an echo effect, where a wave of layoffs is followed by a wave of resignations. Open offers fold that second, unpredictable wave into the controlled first one. If the nature of your business requires a certain amount of workforce continuity, the added predictability of an open offer can be well worth it.
As far as I know we've never claimed that the distribution is flat or that the "effective anonymity" is equivalent to a uniform distribution over prior notes (I certainly didn't claim that). One of the advantages of Zcash's approach is that you don't need to know the distribution in order to have a strong privacy claim. As I said, this is because the content of a transaction is not revealed, and so the attacker's advantage is no better than guessing based on their prior knowledge (plus the little information that can be inferred from timestamps and number of JoinSplits in a transaction).

It's the same claim as for semantically secure encryption, for example: no competent cryptographer would claim that encrypting a message implies that the adversary's knowledge of the plaintext distribution is uniform; only that the ciphertext gives the attacker no further information (apart from length, typically) about the distribution.

The fact that Vanguard is growing faster than everybody else combined is interesting indeed. The article itself, however, reads like one big ad for Vanguard. The fact that the NYT is somewhat affiliated with them ("They number well over 20 million and include New York Times employees: Vanguard runs the company’s 401(k) retirement plans.") doesn't help either. What I miss is a critical examination of the situation. They're just drinking the Kool-Aid.

Although negativity on HN is often too high I am glad it is here when it comes to articles like this one!

> This is the city with police cameras on every block

No, it is not. It is a city where tiny portions have police cameras. Somewhat larger areas have council-controlled cameras that it's fairly easy for police to gain access to. The vast majority of CCTV in London - and in the UK - is privately controlled, and most of it is not networked. Police can get access to it if/when something has happened, but most of them also either don't record or record only on a 24h loop, and access is often enough of a hassle that police does not even bother.

Certainly there is a lot of surveillance in London, and especially the central areas and around important buildings, but it's nowhere near as bad as you imply.

I live in London - I'd have about a 20 minutes walk to the nearest networked, police controlled camera, and about 10-15 minutes walk to any camera. In any direction.

> surveillance vans

Yes, but how many of them do you think there are? They are a rare sight, and they are obvious. I'm sure the Met would like more of them, but they don't have the budget to use them all over the place.

The issue here then becomes what do you do at 60 when you've been unable to purchase property and can now not qualify for a standard 30 year mortgage? If you've paid 35% of your before tax income in rent since you were 20 on a standard salary, you've got maybe $150k(AUD) in savings if you were really, really dedicated, which isn't even enough to buy a house 600km out of a major city (Sydney in my example) and now have no income outside of superannuation or a government pension? Quality of retirement (in Australia) evaporates if you have to pay market rate rents...
When you are running on your own hardware you usually have multiple options for storage:

- Use the local node storage although this is very simple but can get complicated on more complex installations

- Connect to your existing storage solution using ISCSI or NFS

- Running your own distributed storage solution on top of Kubernetes for Kubernetes. e.g. https://github.com/rook/rook
Think I may need to dig deeper into this. But a few questions that one of you may be able to answer. Seems like you won't get super large returns but on the other hand you won't risk super large losses either.

But sounds like instead of having cash on a bank account, earning no interest, it may be worth putting them into EFT's? Or have I totally misunderstood? Is it only possible to tie your money up for longer periods for instance?

Any caveats as Dane looking at Vanguard? Fee's, cross rates or other I may have missed in this?

You have several options:

* Run Ceph in separate nodes and connect it to the cluster. With Juju, you can do that from the bundle, as Ceph is also a supported workloads. This gives you scale for storage

* Run Ceph within the cluster with a Helm chart. We see that for openstack-helm for example. Also gives you scale, but the lack of device discovery makes it less interesting in my opinion

* Run an NFS server, plain easy but not very scalable.

* Use hostpath, which is the default but doesn't get you scale.
City is "special", and City has its own police force, which is why they don't venture further out - City of London Police does not generally have any business venturing out of City unless cooperating with the Metropolitan Police on something or following a suspect.

City certainly is it's own little undemocratic (sure, you can vote, but so can nominees of corporations located in City), police-state fiefdom.

(for the non-Lononders, City of London is one of the financial districts of London, on the site of the historical site of the original settlement of London, and makes up a tiny portion of London; it's got its own police force, and a government that's entirely unlike anything else in the UK)
Really? I've never heard of people doing that, how many is "a ton" and how realistic is their hope to practice in the US?
WSL is really interesting. I switched to the Mac in 2006 but I’ve never really used the fact it’s built on Unix much because it’s so different and frankly outdated comparede to the Linux systems I work on. When I want to do ‘Unixy’ stuff at home I run a Linux VM in VirtualBox. But WSL seems to offer the best of both worlds – a solid mature desktop environment with plenty of well supported professional level apps and an approaching first class Linux environment baked right in. I’m still very happy on the Mac and would miss a lot of Mac specific features and applications, but this is the first thing to happen in Windows Land that’s made me even think of the possibility of wanting to run Windows at home for over 10 years.

Edit: What would be the nearest thing to WSL on a Mac? VirtualBox is a bit heavy-weight. Maybe something based on Hyperkit and Docker?

There's been scandals in the UK recently of the Met using undercover police infiltrating peaceful groups and then attempting to incite them to violence.

No-one even knows why they were infiltrating them in the first place. The Met has got seriously out of control. Undercover officers with crazy fake identities not investigating crimes but acting as stasi agents.

This is not a surprise nor particularly unbelievable.

Poetry.
Most of the "street level" cameras are council owned and operated, outside of a few areas where the police operate them. City certainly has a lot of police operated surveillance. But venture outside the most central areas and there's not much street-level CCTV. As I've mentioned elsewhere, where I live in London it's about a 20 minute walk in any direction to see one. There are many parts of London where that is true once you venture outside of zone 1. In zone 1, yes, you'll be on camera a lot unless you sneak around back streets and on purpose try to avoid them.

Apparently, per WP, "Tarnow shows that the recall probability vs. latency curve is a straight line from 6 to 600 seconds (ten minutes), with the probability of failure to recall only saturating after 600 seconds."[1]

So it seems reasonable that, indeed, the "short-term" store was functioning, but the long-term was failing to encode, and the loss occurred as the "short-term" store faded.

Regardless, I'm glad it was transient.

> Qt is big and complicated.

I'd encourage every developer considering Electron to give Qt/QML a try. It merges the declarative nature of WPF with a nicer syntax and the ability to use JS directly in the QML file, obliterating the need for converters of formatters (that plague XAML/WPF and JavaFX). Writing custom components is trivial and intuitive, with zero syntactic overhead (if a QML file "MyCompX" is present, you can instantiate its contents with "MyCompX" without any additional setup).

For Android, it has the advantage of being able to hot-reload the UI without jumping through hoops (simply serve them over HTTP and install a small reload handler in your app that can be triggered either from the app of by something like a UDP message from the host). (Change one like in the app's main and you are able to pull the QML files from a local directory so you can modify them on the tablet without a PC or internet connection ...)

I'm actually reluctant to mention Qt/QML because I consider it to be my secret magic silver bullet for portable (non-web) UI development.

Regarding the license (there's a lot of misinformation, including Qt's main site trying to coerce you into using the commercial license): if you link dynamically, commercial usage is not a problem (LGPL). (This is usually only an issue on iOS.)

The recent Electron situation (needed on one hand, loathed on the other hand) is a unique opportunity for Qt to gain (back) some developer mind share, but to avoid alienating web developers with scary C++ stuff it would help to decouple QtCreator from the Qt C++ API: offering a version that only exposes the QML editor and interface generator, and ships qmlscene as execution runtime and an option to deploy the QML-only application with a rebranded qmlscene (embedding the QML resources and a custom icon). To be clear: this all exists right now, but with the C++ part enabled (which will scare off some developers even if they can create applications without it).

How Linux is Built
It's mostly economics and a bit of societal incentives.

For an American CS graduate, the opportunity cost of joining grad school is too high. It makes more sense to join the industry immediately and start paying back the massive loans.

For an Indian college graduate, it makes more sense to spend 2-5 years in the grad school if it means getting a job in the US later. With little or no loans to pay back, the earning potential is worth the extra few years of study.

Also on average, Indians and Chinese people tend to value higher education more than their US counterparts. Anecdotally, I have met few Americans who would prefer their spouse and children to go to grad school instead of working full-time after college.

Their are upsides and downsides either way. Moving the coalition-building to before the election, as the US and (to a lesser extent) the UK do, means that voters have a pretty good idea of the final outcome they're voting for.

On the other hand, keeping the coalition-building until after the election allows voters to send a stronger signal about which particular part of that coalition they're supporting, which arguably makes it easier for parties to evolve in response to shifts in the electoral climate.

Russia is not a communist country, and hasn't been for a long time. Authoritarian, yes, but that's a different thing.

And it's a "soft authoritarian" system. Meaning that elections not only exist, they actually do count for something. Sure, there's still a lot of electoral fraud by the ruling party, to get higher percentages. But even without it, Putin would still be the elected president, and his party would still have the majority in the parliament.

So, for starters, people can start voting against politicians who pass laws like this.
"A look at Gabon’s demographics makes the Scrabble achievement of Gabon impossible to explain under the present racial hypothesis.

And yet they exist, constantly outperforming math professors and computer scientists from the developed world. That’s a statistical problem for the racial hypothesis but it is not a problem at all for the alternative hypothesis: the African nominal national IQs are artificially depressed by more than 30 IQ points due to an extremely deficient cognitive environment."
