Not in all jurisdictions, per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negotiorum_gestio

> Negotiorum gestio (Latin for "management of business") is a form of spontaneous voluntary agency in which an intervenor or intermeddler, the gestor, acts on behalf and for the benefit of a principal (dominus negotii), but without the latter's prior consent. The gestor is only entitled to reimbursement for expenses and not to remuneration, the underlying principle being that negotiorum gestio is intended as an act of generosity and friendship and not to allow the gestor to profit from his intermeddling. This form of intervention is classified as a quasi-contract and found in civil-law jurisdictions and in mixed systems (e.g. Scots, South African, and Philippine laws).

> For example, while you are traveling abroad, a typhoon hits your home town and the roofing of your house is in danger. To avoid the catastrophic situation, your neighbour does something urgently necessary. You are the 'principal' and your neighbour here is the 'gestor', the act of which saved your house is the negotiorum gestio.

This isn't even remotely new. Apple and windows have been doing the same ever since computers were in schools. Heck, I even got free oem copies of Vista and 7, and Ms word through my school (University) which were provided to the school well below what the normal prices were.

The fact that Google is providing a subjectively better alternative isn't remotely new, but if it works better and see lower cost to schools, I'm more than happy to see it happen.
A smartphone like the iPhone 7 doesn't use its A10 Hurricane Arm to decode audio or video. There's a 6-core GPU for that. This then skews the Arm's workload to be even more general purpose.

Why Are Economists Giving Piketty the Cold Shoulder?
The "Belt and Road" scheme is well known. The first container freight train from Yiwu, China to Barking, England, arrived January 15, 2017. Coast to coast travel time: two weeks.[1] Conveniently, China uses a 4' 8.5" track gauge, unlike Russian metric gauge, so they can move freight cars all the way without a gauge change.

Soon, of course, heavier rails, longer trains, faster trains, more trains, better gradients, more electrification, alternate routes... China is funding high speed rail from Belgrade to Budapest. Now that's an infrastructure scheme.

American technology companies don't rely on IP restrictions as much as they used to. You couldn't copy Facebook, Google, Apple, or Amazon's products and services effectively on a global scale even if they had no IP restrictions.

And China is the second largest market for American movies, which absolutely require IP law to function. So I think this concern is overstated.
Hillary would have expanded and improved Obamacare, basically.

Relevant to this article, a goal was to add a public option; along with adding optional Medicare coverage down to age 55 and significantly enhancing the ideas of "community health centers", which are currently pretty effective.

Of course, the goals of a product often conflict with implementation realities in the process of getting it done, so not all the features would have landed, I think. Er, I mean political candidate & campaign promises, not product & features. What was I thinking?

That you don't remember Hillary's policy is an artifact of her marketing combined with the media's coverage, which was not on her policies.
>To me, this is giving Google much more than your privacy, customer loyalty or ad exposure. Your are giving away some of your very basic abilities: if you only learn to search with Google, you will not learn how to reason on your own. Knowledge stored in your brain is of much better use than that on Google, because your brain is capable to perform much more powerful queries on it.

Sorry, but this just sounds like propaganda. As an academic, Google is the single most useful tool at my disposal. It doesn't inhibit original thought, but lets me focus on what's actually new by giving me access to things that are already known and available.
I didn't say anything about it being new.

They can only do that because someone else is subsidizing a large part of their defense (the US). Without that they would have been conquered by NK and China long ago.

Ironically, it is the US overspending in military which is part of what is driving his economic push for China instead of trying to compete militarily.
There are three problems with Lax's book, from my experience (I used Lax in undergrad and Axler later and I would have gotten more from each if the order were reversed).

1) Lax leaves significant results to the problems, and the result is that there is little explanation of their importance.

2) Lax prefers short, mathematically impressive proofs which leverage the mathematics he has developed in the book to that point. But the proofs do not help in understanding.

3) Lax relies heavily on determinants and characteristic polynomials to prove major results. Axler deliberately avoids them, and he says why in the introduction too!

Axler and Lax have two diametrically opposed approaches to linear algebra pedagogy. Neither is "wrong" but in my experience Axler's is much better for learning and Lax's is better for a deeper understanding (and for a different approach).

How a Polymath Mastered Math–and So Can You
That's an interesting idea, but there is no proof for this in the data, and in fact that's a common logical fallacy.

Let's assume a population that lives on an island that sits on the equator. One side of the island is polluted with radiation. It also features a kind of purple fruit that doesn't grow anywhere else and is not exported.

Now let's assume that the fruit contains a cumulative toxin that causes people to die very young of brain cancer.

A study without adequate controls might conclude:

-- Living near the equator causes brain cancer
-- living on this island causes brain cancer
-- radiation causes brain cancer
-- eating purple fruit causes brain cancer
-- radiation causes people to eat more purple fruit

Only one of these is true, but one could certainly invent reasons to explain nearly all of these correlations as causal.

In the case of this study, an alternate explanation that makes sense is:
-- diabetes causes dementia
-- diabetics are strongly encouraged to drink sugar-free soda to avoid sugar intake
-- therefore, diet soda intake and dementia are linked only through their common root cause, diabetes

I taught myself how to invest for reasonable returns, so a mix of stocks, bonds, and real companies. I learned how to read and critique financial statements, business plans, LLC / LP organization documents.

I learned how to say “no” to outrageous demands on my time, to companies which asked that I give it all in return for some meager equity grant that could be worth millions but more likely not worth the paper it was written on.

Fairly boring, really, but not covered in my CS or liberal arts studies in college.

You get so caught up in the moment: get a job, make money, pay your debts, you don't get a chance to step back and ask what you want out of life.

I've tried working with startups again since I left that world, and I always end up leaving after a few months to a year. Most startups are managed as though everything is a crisis, your hair is on fire all the time (and if it's not, then clearly you're doing something wrong). Firms, capital back companies are not new. Digital technology and communications remove a lot of the friction, but a lot of the corporate politics you find in today's hot startup existed in the 1990s, 1980s, 1970s and so on. It's not just a failure to learn from the past, it's an outright refusal, the constant "it'll be different this time" mantra.

Surprise: it's pretty much the same shit, different logos and domain names (and apps).
Right now we're using the tools of taxation and legislation to transfer our country's wealth to 'elites' - mainly through taxation for 'defense' spending, patent law legislation, and finance.

Those choices are not obviously the ones that will have the most beneifical long term impact on our country's power.
Also want to point out that the A380 is one of the least fuel efficient modern planes on the market per passenger-mile.

Obviously the 787 is famously fuel-efficient, but even other standard planes fare much better (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_aircraft).

Buying an A380 is super risky, since you'll be bitten either by an economic downturn (if you can't fill the whole A380, it's a massive money sink; smaller planes are far more flexible) or by rising jet fuel prices (which is highly likely, since these planes are expected to fly for 20+ years).
I didn't own that much to begin with but I sold what I didn't need, and put everything else in a friend's garage. Oddly (but in line with what most digital nomads seem to experience) after living out of a backpack for a few months, I don't miss most of it (exceptions being things like my snowboard, sharp kitchen knives, quality pots, etc.)

“Pursuing protectionism is just like locking oneself in a dark room,” Mr. Xi told business leaders at the World Economic Forum in January.

I might agree with Mr. Xi, but the Great Firewall of China is a higher wall of protectionism than anything the West has against the Chinese. Forcing foreign companies to partner with Chinese companies and then transfer all of their closely held technologies and industrial processes to China seems pretty protectionist also. Maybe in Chinese culture being able to lock oneself in a dark room is a positive?

Hannover itself may be centrally located and quite reachable, the Messegelaende in Hannover is not. There is, for example, no tram service going from Messegelaende to the city center between 2130—0400. With the last talks of the day usually lasting until after midnight, that's clearly unacceptable.

In Sweden, as in most of the EU, electric bicycles are required by law to reduce the assistance as the speed increases and to cut out entirely above 25 km/h. So an electric bike wouldn't be much help to a courier, who would mostly be going faster than 25 km/h. (A faster vehicle would come under the moped regulations and the rider would need a license and insurance.)
The scary part is china's protectionism. Small nations and businesses have so little possibilities to operate in china without getting robbed of IP or being outcompeted by state supported domestic ventures.

I'm sure part of the deeper issue is that preventative care is not really popular in the US among many, along with far too many sweets. Unfortunately, even if that changed overnight, tomorrow we'd still have the exact same problem.

Systemically, we have to consider the costs of dentistry and why they are high; we have to consider the hand of the insurance company and their price regulation; the costs of materials; the costs of running a small office & regulatory compliance of same; the costs of dental school; and more. This is largely an exercise in system thinking and determining which lever is most effeciacious in improving public health outcomes. Insurance regulation is a narrow way to affect costs without disrupting the choices dentists and patients have made in their life regarding location, choice of careers, etc.

Grew up poor, but we had floridated mouthwash to help cope with well water, and my parents made sure we hit the dentist 2x a year for cleaning & sealants. I wonder if the cost curves for dental care are different now, 20 years later. I'm very grateful to them for taking me to the dentist as diligently as they did.

These days I have dental insurance, but still do the 2x/year clean.

I have automated end-to-end OS testing. It's basically a small bash script which spins up a number of VMs in various network configurations (since my OS is only useful in a cluster, as it provides Ceph and a cloud API to KVM). One of the fully automated tests is even an upgrade test where the previous release is installed and then the currently built version is constructed into a patch, installed, and verified that all the VMs it started pre-upgrade are still running, then builds some more VMs (these are nested VMs since the test systems themselves are VMs). It's pretty simple, it starts by installing the ISO and driving the systems over their console.

Seriously, only third world countries welcomes Chinese loans that will never be be repaid. The 'Belt and road' scheme has been shown to be a failure thus far. No smart nation wants to have its economy/community/jobs/manufacturing destroyed by an evil government, just for cheap, shoddily made goods

Besides, China has no trillions to spend. It's massively in debt, suffers from capital outflow and rich fleeing the country. It has middle income problem and demographics issues. It's heyday was 2007.

JITs do not and cannot have a complete program view.

Whole program compiler can insert JIT-calling code (specializing for common pattern), JIT compiler cannot view whole program.

One of the things JITs can't do is to add and/or remove parallelism from the program (i.e., add/remove OpenMP pragmas).
