My sister is bilingual, but because she only lived in the U.K. as a child and teenager, there is vocabulary that is used more commonly in adult conversations that she knows, but has a hard time with.

So while she is bilingual by any useful definition, there are common scenarios in which she sounds like a foreigner with "very good English" rather than a native speaker.

Our grandfather had the opposite problem. He lived in the U.K. from age 18, and only had the very faintest accent, but in his 60s and beyond would be frequently complimented that his German was "very good for an Englishman"
I thinks it totally different. At the end of the day, the law could reach the original Internet. It really wasn't much different than telephone lines. Encryption is where everything changes. I think everyone should be at least a little bit nervous about where these crypto technologies are taking us. Once criminals learn how to use this technology, there's probably no going back.
5 Tips for Getting Started with AR Kit
* Fiber cables (that OP and I wrote) means a cable made out of glass - no problem at all for radiation. (face palm #1)

* You can transfer light through such cables. This means you use one cable to send light into the scene and another cable to see to the scene. Please just look up how endoscopy works for many many many decades, long before computers were a thing. (face palm #2) You probably have a SPDIF connector at your home entertainment devices. Have a look at the fiber cable and hold it against a light or look through it, to get the idea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S/PDIF (it's about a single fiber cable, not a multi-fiber cable that is nowadays more common)

* Endoscopes are operated with wires, mechanical wires operated by a human (or could be by low tech remote pneumatic construct many feets away from the scene) - just look up endoscop (face palm #3)

So a low tech solution would work in such environments, though it's not as news worthy and not as cool as some robots, but it would be useful for a long time, not die at all.

I am surprised by the lacking education here, unfortunately the site got mainstream and attracted average joes from everywhere - with even basic education like in physics and mechanical engineering we could have a proper conversation here. Even CS and startup topics are now littered by corporate drones and fanboys of minor things. Maybe different tags/channels would help to channel the news.
In the Midpeninsula Open Space lands (e.g. San Mateo county), I routinely lose data (even 3G and 2G) and often voice on T-Mobile while other carriers are fine.

In one of these (Russian Ridge?), there is a pair of towers with maybe 30 transmitters and dishes. Even there, nothing on T-Mobile.

Even my neighborhood tower was crap for about 2 months. Only after the fact did they acknowledge the problem.

Probably a better way to figure out the real employment numbers behind eCommerce is to trace the economy behind an average persons yearly consumption with and without Ecommerce. If the average person is spending more with eCommerce then you're going to have more employment due to the bigger economy behind it. (Assume $1000 spent by the average person in both cases result in equal employment.)

You can then trace second order effects by comparing where the employment is occurring and in what industries.

No, something else.
As mentioned in parent, the rate you can capture depends on the resolution (i.e. image size in bytes), downlink speed, available memory, and length of the event.

As the length of the event approaches infinity, the framerate you can capture is basically bandwidth / image size. `(mb/s)/mb = 1/s` (aka hz). Beyond that limit, the memory size / image size gives you a hard limit for the number of additional frames you can buffer. To get a constant frame rate, you want to spread that quantity over the duration of the event.
The problem is the notion of same pay for "the same job". In order to judge if to people deserve the same pay you have to know if they are really doing the same job, have the same knowledge, and produce an equal economic output for the company. This might be easy if you are making widgets and the only important outputs are units produced and defect rates but near impossible with more complicated work that is highly variable or more cognitive in nature.

Simply knowing pay and job title is not enough.
I think the Tuesdays app is obnoxious.

It starts with a fake game at loud volume even if the handset is silenced! You can't shut that off. Redemption attempts routinely crash. Some awards are same-day only. Some require privacy sucks, like location services turned on.

Very True. Like most Indians, my wife and I are fluent in English, Hindi and our regional language (Manipuri). Our kids are raised outside our region, so we have adapted the 2-language tactic (1 Parent - 1 language). So, English is the default and our regional language as the optional for our kids.

Indian languages are also pretty similar by regions. I spent 10 years in Bombay which made my Hindi really good. This also meant that I kinda know and can understand quite a bit of Marathi and Gujarathi. As I'm fluent in Hindi, I can also understand most people in the north and center speaking Hindi-esque languages too.

We are in the south for the past 6+ years, and I can begin to understand Kannada for the most common words.

Here is a personal fun-fact. I'm from the northeast and we have the "Asian" look and not the typical Indian. Most of the times, I default/pretend to not knowing Hindi unless communicated to. Lots of fun when people talk around me; assuming I would not understand them. More fun - when I'm outside India and Indians talk shit, defamatory, derogatory, embarrassing, things about other people and about themselves in Hindi - I always pretend I don't understand them at all.
Drug purchasing sites have actually helped reduce violence and crime associated with prohibited items/activities. I'm more nervous about where authoritarian government is taking us.
Not trying to brag, but due to my background I ended up trilingual (Korean, Spanish and English).

It all depends on circumstance - I spent a few years growing up in Korea, Latin America and the U.S - and went to school in all three countries where I was forced to learn the native language. It's been a few years but I still speak all those languages due to friends and family so I haven't lost the ability yet.

It's not a very useful skill for my job - but I just wanted to point out that I can attest that immersion as a child is one of the best ways to learn languages.
They'll provide signal-boosting hardware for free as well.
> language ability seems to largely be a function of exposure and there's only so much time to go around.

There's an important shortcoming in that reasoning: it assumes that time is fully dedicated to learning whichever language is being used. Furthermore, it doesn't consider the possibility that learning a language may benefit from learning a different one.

Based on my observations while raising my kid bilingual, that's probably not the case. When she learnt a new word in a language, she usually asked for it in the other language too so she could learn both. At 6 years old, she now has much better language skills in both languages compared to her peers. There may have been a period at about 2 or 3 years old that her skills weren't outstanding but she was still perfectly fine by her age's norm (which accounts for quite a bit of variance). My guess is that, after learning a few basics, new language is learnt sporadically with lots of "waiting" time in between, and thus there's practically no time conflict in learning two languages except maybe at the very start.
You're special pleading for those fleeing from war-torn countries. Your original argument however is that everyone should be able to move freely. There were migrants coming in from Africa well before the Syria/Iraq crisis, though most of those never ended up in Germany, but rather in Greece or Italy.

> The case for germany to still provide financial support is that is a huge long term benefit that is tax beneficial, especially for a country with demographic issues. My understanding is that there are reports that justify the tax investment.

If you want to make an utilitarian argument, then so can I: We could just let people apply through a visa process, and decide who to take in. Why should we spend the extra effort to educate all these people when we could just take those already educated in other countries? You know, just like the US does it. Also, there are lots of lower-income EU countries whose citizens have the right to be here. They're performing a lot of the work that they could lose to even cheaper immigrants from even poorer countries, if the laws allowed it. The pressure for unskilled labor is higher than ever.

> With free passage, you would not even know how many peope pass, and it would have a marginal cost to the state (and a much higher benefit!)

People aren't gonna pass forever, they're gonna settle. Right now, they're settling here. If we didn't pay them, they'd be forced to beg on the streets once they run out of travel money.

The network layer is not the application programmers problem. I am requesting data because I want to make my application responsive. I should take into account exactly what is a "good" amount to request or what data is most likely to be requested anyways but alot of prefetching has to do with making the first load faster. So if you decide to not prefetch then many applications will force the download on the first request... Im not concerend with wifi just if the user is connected or not. If they are connected then im trying to make the resource fetching as efficient as possible which will scale from wifi and up.
Not a good choice for implanted batteries, but possibly the replacement for the power storage unit for EMALS. The electromagnetic catapult on the Ford-series carriers apparently works fine; it's the flywheel energy storage system which powers it that's giving trouble. They need something they can charge up in a minute or so and then discharge in a few seconds. Ultracapacitors are starting to look good compared to the flywheel thing.
That's fine, but `p` is a variable, not a constant, in the original post's case, right?

I think using "convert x to y" is linguistically okay as you're referring to a type conversion. Both x and y refer to objects which can be related to each other somehow. The same way a US plug adapter is used to convert a European plug to a American one.

To (almost) keep with the analogy, it's okay to say a car was converted to a picture if it was squashed to be almost flat, framed and hung on a wall somehow. Some type conversions are highly destructive whereas others are trivial, like converting a table to a desk.

To push the analogy even further I couldn't convert a car to a photograph exactly as the types are incompatable, like a float and an array (at least in most programming languages).
In my experience (routinely using both a 4K iMac and high resolution dell xps with win 10) the mac is still better at doing the "right thing" on its own, resolution-correction wise.
"Generate an X from a Y" would be both appropriate and make sense to a beginner.

To me a "conversion" would have to be something like a static cast.

Needlessly? I disagree... the idea that yet another person decided to utilize Javascript as the basis for a new language is distressing and totally justifies such a response.
So the thing that a lot of people miss is that unless you bascially 4x the pixel density and go anti-aliased... it doesn't actually help to increase the density when regarding reading.

The thing I've learned is that really I want a specific pixel per inch real world or I want a specific font size in inches real world. I sit comfortably back and the dell 30 lets me easily set my text at about 1/8" tall or 1/4" which is super easy to read relaxed in my chair. If I went for a increased resolution display, the font would just get smaller until I get to a 4x density... and I'm not really gaining anything until then either when AA smothing is a win.

But also since I jack my font up even more than usual for my distance.. I'm already anti-aliasing about 4x AA, so a 4x resolution bump would put me at 16xAA which is, I don't think, needed. I'd rather blanket my field of view with lots of large text than have one very nice high density display central that makes me lean forward and strain my eyes.

I see this a lot at start-ups as I come from automotive (similar to large enterprise sales, engineering teams with product teams make calls on buying 10's of M to 100's of M in product.)

The biggest problem I see is you're not on site. You're not there physically and haven't met Glenda and her manager or immediate peers. Because if you were on site Glenda would've let you know she's thinking of leaving and would've referred you to her manager in charge of her replacement. There's so much gained in just showing up and being present.

It doesn't feel scalable or meritocric but it is how a lot of humans work.
Ah I'm sorry, i got it a bit wrong. Currents and winds in the Mediterranean are mostly counter-clockwise.

Ancient seafaring was difficult and mostly bound to land. I mean, that they had to travel along the Coast for most of the time and usually tried to avoid high waters. It WAS possible to cross from one side to the other in certain places, e.g. from Sicily to Tunisia, as it is less than 300km apart, but it was generally avoided elsewhere.

Also, sea travel was depended a lot on weather and season. Greeks and Romans were usually advised NOT to travel during winter as winds were rough and unsteady. Even short distance travels took unusually long and were dangerous. The most famous example is of St. Paul who was shipwrecked in Malta at one point. And counter-intuitive at all: The Greeks were actually not very good at seatravel. They always were jealous of the Phoenicians for doing better sea-trade than they.

The Odyssey falls broadly in the category of Periplus. I forgot what a lot of people interpreted into Homer's story, but i guess he just wanted to say "Follow the rules, don't try to sail against the currents or bad things will happen!"

This is why maybe he sailed westward in the story and not straight back...

I'd actually go a bit bigger with a 4k to get the pixel density that I want but I like this.

Only downside is gaming... One lower density monitor performs better no matter the graphics card.

> "Unskilled migrants care for babies or the elderly, thus freeing the native-born to do more lucrative work."

No, it's this:

> Gallup, a pollster, estimated in 2013 that 630m people—about 13% of the world’s population—would migrate permanently if they could, and even more would move temporarily. Some 138m would settle in the United States, 42m in Britain and 29m in Saudi Arabia.

> Gallup’s numbers could be an overestimate. People do not always do what they say they will. Leaving one’s homeland requires courage and resilience.

So less than a billion, net, world wide.

> Sorry, no, I don't want migrants deeply afflicted with weird cultures left alone with my baby nor my mother.

Well you are free to continue to pay the higher price for the person of the culture you prefer. Others who don't care can pay a lower price. Isn't that capitalism?
You should check today then. The performance more than matches Chrome. In some area, it's straight up faster than Chrome (like closing tabs, for instance).
> You're special pleading for those fleeing from war-torn countries

I wasnt talking about refugees at all until you mentioned it and i tried to answer. If you wish we can remove them altogether from the general case of immigration policy.

> If you want to make an utilitarian argument

Im not making a utilitarian argument, I'm explaining that the tax-cost can be a very cost-effective tax investment for the state, so it can be sensible policy, regardless of ideology.
This however pertains very exclusively to the refugees that need assistance a lot more than the general case of an immigrant, that could have some sort of idea and means to do something.

> We could just let people apply through a visa process, and decide who to take in.

I dont get how this is utilitarian at all. The cost of the infrastructure + lost benefits from the people that dont move + the increased barrier of entry has an economic cost. Thats the whole point of the original article, that there is value to be created by reducing the restrictions.

> Why should we spend the extra effort to educate all these people when we could just take those already educated in other countries?

Then don't..who is asking for that? Certainly not foreigners at the ballots.

> You know, just like the US does it.

U.S. is a good example of shooting itself in the foot. Unles some special circumstances are allowed, no foreign software engineer can get hired in the US until Oct. 2018, which means lots of people are going to move to germany which has a way more lax immigration policy. Biggest favor the US government did to the Berlin startup scene.

> Also, there are lots of lower-income EU countries whose citizens have the right to be here. They're performing a lot of the work that they could lose to even cheaper immigrants from even poorer countries, if the laws allowed it. The pressure for unskilled labor is higher than ever.

"We should use force to not allow other people to move so I can have higher wages" -> how is this not oppression to you? Motive, Means and Opportunity.

> If we didn't pay them, they'd be forced to beg on the streets once they run out of travel money.

You have to choose if you wish to do charity or not. You should not be obliged to do charity, but you should not harm people because you do charity. The beggar in Germany would be better there than begging in Syria, or otherwise they would not keep moving the way the do. That you find a beggar unsightly is a problem to you, not the beggars problem,and you are welcome to try to fix it by donating.

Estimating the cost of a connection can hardly be done without a change in the transport protocols, because the device do not know the cost of a fetch just by looking at the type of network it is connected to. Think about WiFi hotspots to cellular network. Think about data bundles. This is way easier to address in the transport protocol.

Why can't we spend any effort fixing the root causes of anything and instead treat every early tech as a given and spend so much effort in developing workarounds?

The Developed World Is Losing Its Edge – 7 Charts
As I've gotten older and... "more successful", I have been able to see this divide myself, experience it on my own. The "bounced check charge" (NSF charge) almost exclusively hits poor people than it does people with money. Because when I was poor and walking miles to work at 0500 in the winter, and I bounced a check (which did happen more than rarely), the NSF fee was charged and the bank would never gift me with any forgiveness, even though I did call and try to explain the situation every time. It was never an intentional bounce, but when you're scraping by, it's very, very easy to bounce a check on accident. This was in the 90s and early 2000s before checks cleared immediately. But as I got older, and started programming for a living, and my social mobility kicked in and I crossed the divide... I never, ever, ever have the NSF fee stick for overdrafts. Never. It almost never happens now because it's typical for banks to tie a backup to your checking account for overdrafts (e.g. savings) so it's been a while since this has happened to me. But when it did, I'd call the bank, explain that it was a mistake on my part, and the banker would look up my account and immediately take it off and then apologize to me. Life is totally different on this side of the river. It is astonishing.

Incidentally, some time ago, I used Bank of America. I had about $300 in my checking account. I made about $300 in purchases for the month, like groceries and gas and this kind of thing. Then, something happened with the car, and I had to take it in to the shop. They could fix it for $250. I knew I didn't have it, but I decided I was willing to pay the overdraft fee (of $35) in order to get my car fixed, since... I needed a working car. Anyway, I made the charge on my card. Then, the next day, when all those charges posted, Bank of America rearranged the order of my posts so that the $250 charge went on the account first, and then charged me about ten $35 overdraft fees. They rearranged the post order so the largest transactions went first. Anyway, scumbag banks aside, they were actually sued for this in a class action, but through some "miracle" for the bank (a shredder), they "lost" all of their records for that year, including my $350 in overdraft fees that they charged me. So I wasn't able to get my money back even years later. Class actions are total ripoffs.
