I feel the same way -- I enjoy seeing my friends having a good time. More pragmatically, I'll frequently (like, just yesterday) see someone's vacation photos and think, "hey, that looks like fun! Maybe I should plan a trip there myself."
I think infinities also have use in the real world. Take the insolubility of the quintic. You can reword this as saying that none of the infinitely many candidate solutions for quintics work. Its real world utility is straightforward: there's no point to continue looking for a solution.
Radioactive shielding is just a bunch of heavy metal. The robot probably has terrible maneuverability and even worse battery life :p
Its not a bad idea, however, popular library site have been dominated by open source and selling will libraries will be hard to scale.

I remember I was looking for a way to fix something. So I googled and found an answer that just detailed everything I needed. I was blown away by how thorough it was. I said "I love you, stranger!", looked at the nickname, and it was me. I had a pretty big laugh.
Customers of your organisation pay your salary so they should also be entitled to know your salary, right?
Transparency always shows the ugly unfair side of things when the sheets are first lifted... That's the whole point. People adjust and systems adjust, and we figure out how to better work together.

Salaries are a reflection of the value you're supposedly contributing to society. Isn't that on principle public?
It's about seeing people you don't like that much having fun. Of course the next question is why do you go see their profile?
Angular 4 (formerly Angular 2) – The Complete Guide
I use this both on my work machine (Windows) and on my Linux box.

On Windows, it's great - if you don't want to learn Powershell. I get bash like behavior and can easily write custom "shell" scripts.

On Linux - not so great. Borderline frustrating to be honest. Some of the issues I have:

If I open something using nano, pressing ^X doesn't work as expected. Similar problems with other terminal software: I think some keybinding in less didn't work as well.

Midnight commander takes a long time to load. Randomly, in Midnight commander I cannot click on things.

Actually, this ability to click and select text in my console randomly goes away with Xonsh. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

A few other quirks I don't remember.

I tried different terminal software and the problems were in all of them.

I haven't yet reported these to the team. I do hope they can fix them. It is otherwise a great shell.
I have a slightly different perspective on what counts as "recent", most likely because I am younger than that. I also looked up the Troubles for my previous comment; apparently they officially ended in 1998, which is even more recent. Take my comment as referring to the last 20ish years when I talk about things getting better.
That's exactly what I did. I think my brain even went on to read "show" as a noun, and "may" would have prevented that. Title Case Didn't Help Much Either.

Besides that, I'm not sure either "Japan" or "Japanese" is really necessary, because "Fukushima" makes it clear that the pictures are from Japan.
Separatist movements fit well with a traditional definition of terrorism, though (something like "politically motivated violence by non-state entities", maybe confined to violence against civilians). Purely religious terrorism was the exception until recently.
Of course employers will still be free to pay whatever legal wage they want. Employees and prospective employees will also be able to see what this employer is paying relative to others and make a decision.
I'm curious to know what team/organization the OP was from. Because of how massive Amazon is, every team interacts with each other differently. For example, the org that houses Amazon Go is much more high stress, and I can imagine this happening there v/s a team working on building internal systems. I've been at Amazon for 5 years now, and have never experienced whatever the post said. I have, however, been in the uncomfortable situation where a colleague has tried to talk to me in the urinal about things outside of work.

Funny read though :)

Separatism implies that something else exists to be separate from. ISIL has declared that all other states are illegitimate and are to be replaced by a "worldwide caliphate".
I like using cumulative distributions because they make small changes in the data a little more obvious. e.g. if all the buckets are 10 but there's a section where they're 11, that difference will show up in a cumulative distribution as a bend in an otherwise straight line, which in my opinion is a much easier difference to see
The reward is getting to spend time with your loved ones or hobbies because over there people work to live instead of living to work.
Are taxes in general anti-capitalist? Is publishing salaries anti-capitalist? When I think of anti-capitalism, I think of government owned entities, government backed (directly, or via regulation) industries, and things like tariffs. I know Norway qualifies as socialist for other reasons, but i don't see high income taxes as a stand-alone reason. Is that a reasonable argument?

> It encourages individuals to do better for themselves, it encourages competition, just like in nature.

Nature is savage and cruel. I think there are better arguments to be had in favor of capitalism.
Taking a look at yourself is the issue. Self-introspection ought to include some variant of the question "Am I having enough fun". In answering this question, people take an empirical approach, looking at other results.

If what you see of other is biased, that biases your answer to that question, and thus biases your introspection towards "I should be doing better".
oops - I was sure they sent a robot to do that. Never mind.
Complex problems often require complex solutions. I imagine that your suggestion works for some situations but not all. The cynical side of me thinks that one of the few benefits of the disaster will be new technology and robots that will help prevent future disasters. I imagine there's a very high priced market for these kinds of hardened robots.
I guess I do learn something new every day.

Thanks!
>I'm surprised the Japanese decision to dump the all the tritium contaminated water into the ocean hasn't made more news.

Why does that surprise you?
If you don't like numbers, why not come to Asia sometime and see what people here have achieved, see the standard of living they enjoy, and compare it to pictures of the same places 60 years ago? Or go to the poorest regions in China, which are still richer than most of Asia was 60 years ago, and see the difference. Calling it a "pyramid scheme" is frankly absurd, given the tangible increases in quality of life that have been achieved.

>Does it bother you at all that you took a simple set of numbers, largely devoid of context, and then waved your hands with some math and made a huge conclusion? No relevance to the subject of the original post we are discussing here?

How was what I posted not relevant? The person I was replaying to asserted that there was no basis to make comparisons between the effects of different degrees of liberalism, I presented an example refuting that. If anything the link you posted seemed less relevant: how does a reduction in industralisation opportunities relate to the ability to make comparisons between different economic systems?
You seem to forget that the US is about 5x the population of the UK.
Voluntary donations are nice but assuming generosity in the US and UK being the same, the UK would end up with 5x less funds than what PBS and NPR have (about US$550 and $270 yearly, respectively).

The BBC has about US$6.5B and produces a much wider array of programmes than PBS and NPR combined. So not relying on public's mandatory contribution would clearly not work.
Cubans are well-provided? They're living on _rations_. When they got free access to Internet? Last year?

And USSR's role was the same as North Korea today - poor, unpredictable totalitarian country with nukes.
Is it hard to believe that the new team's salary fluctuates by as much as $50k solely due to negotiation?

If a company wants someone, and that someone doesn't want to go, negotiation and salary fluctuation is what happens. I think $50k is on the low side of what the disparities could end up being. (See the recent craze of poaching AI talent.)
Good point, those are definitely easier to read, although in this age of clickbait I give them credit for admitting a degree of uncertainty right in the headline.
The library landscape is surprisingly varied in the United States. Big systems such as New York, Chicago and Los Angelos exert a huge amount of control on the "middle men" that service them (and a 40% discount is where all systems start and always have). This is of course not surprising. Like all parts of the book industry the ecosystem surrounding libraries is changing very fast.

The digital media side is not as clear as you are making it out to be. Publishers do not in fact set the pricing and availability, because the publishers don't particularly want to be in the business of servicing libraries (just like they don't want to be in the business of library binding and cataloging) so they have to allow third parties the ability to do some negotiations. In many ways its just like physical books (the cost of physical books is largely not the act of creating the physical copy).

The difference is that the classic rift between desires of libraries and publishers is more stark with electronic books. Libraries want to provide access as cheaply as possible usually as a governmental agency and publishers want to have a profitable business.

That doesn't even begin to talk about the existential crisis libraries are going through. Its a fairly interesting thing to watch as an outside observer.

I don't work in this space but my wife does and I've had drinks with enough publishers, jobbers and librarians to see it as fascinating
Indeed, why...

No.

Norway has extremely high salaries, and income tax that is pretty much equivalent to California (about 1/3 of your gross salary after deductions), in fact Norway is one of the easiest countries to become rich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9UmdY0E8hU

You could argue that radical financial transparency is what causes this.
The only solutions I've seen that even "come close" in the speed / accuracy comparison are unfair comparisons.

An example was posted by someone in another comment of a guy doing Python coding with Emacs using Dragon Dictation. In that example, the guy used over 2,000 custom "macros" to get to something close to his pre-RSI speeds. This sounds fantastic, but the speeds of a typer who has learned to leverage 2,000 custom macros would be an order of magnitude faster (imho) than someone dictating using similar macros.

Some things I don't understand about the "mint" concept. Is the mint itself intended to be a guarantor of its members' solvency?

> User onboarding for the Mint API is left to the discretion of the mint implementor or administrator...

If I am registered with a mint, and use Settle to offer to pay someone registered at another mint, who ensures I have those funds? (If it turns out I didn't have sufficient funds, I will presumably become dis-"trust"-ed, but how long will it take for that distrust to propagate? And how would newly-arrived members of any mint know that I'm not trustworthy?)

On a more mundane level, how is it envisioned that real-world a$$et$ will enter and exit the settle system? If someone has promised me assets, how do I cash them out of the mint and into (say) my PayPal account?

I can imagine in a future scenario, existing banks (or PayPal!) could inexpensively and conveniently act as Settle mints, guaranteeing their depositors up to their banked assets. E.G. my bank, Stanford federal credit union, could easily act as a mint and I would be on the network through it as fernly@sfcu.org. SFCU would "know" that I'm good up to my current balance (or some fraction of it chosen by me).

But short of that future day, is it not the case that a person setting up amateur mint must really taking on the responsibility of a banker, holding funds and paying them out on demand?
Kahneman in "Thinking, fast and slow" covers expert overconfidence. Some funny quotes:

"The Duke scholars collected 11,600 such forecasts and examined their accuracy. The conclusion was straightforward: financial officers of large corporations had no clue about the short-term future of the stock market; the correlation between their estimates and the true value was slightly less than zero!"

"The wide confidence interval is a confession of ignorance, which is not socially acceptable for someone who is paid to be knowledgeable in financial matters. Even if they knew how little they know, the executives would be penalized for admitting it."
Cant believe its taking this long... and only in the UK! these things can be retrofitted to be _dangerous!_
Another worthy topic of debate that is completely unrelated to my question. Types and laziness are independent -- at least to the degree needed to provide an answer to my question.
I've had it on my Nokia phone and it worked horribly. It's really hard to understand what is where in a jumbled mess of pins and there was no visual difference between a pin that represents an object 10 meters from you and the one that is 1 mm away from you.

Or it can be an asset :) Aren't we always hammered in the head that cofounder relationship is so super important, some people even compare it to marriage? OK that's actually an awkward analogy here..

Perhaps it's better to discuss this with the person herself. Work out the best way forward to make it work. Good luck!
This is very competent. It identifies some people trafficking in prohibited files, and it also identifies the true danger to the state -- people willing to circumvent their rules; when you pick up someone for bad files, and he (or his phone) says his buddy sent them, but his buddy's friend didn't report in, his buddy is eligible for a lot more trouble.
Normally I would think that's fake news, but knowing the type of stuff the government does there, I'm not so sure.
>A long steel tube with fiber optics to pipe in light, mirrors and optics to transmit an image down the tube would be infinitely easier.

That seems likely to degrade the fiber, or the signal and I'm having trouble thinking of any tested fiber in the range of a molten reactor core. The flux is really crazy near that thing, and not just photons, but relativistic electrons and some very angry helium nuclei.

Off-topic but I wish 16:10 hadn't died with the move to 4k. I have an old 1200p dell ultrasharp in 16:10 and it's sublime compared to my other 16:9. You'd think it doesn't make much of a difference, but it really does. Especially when you have it vertically oriented, but otherwise too.
Aha! The first reply that actually provides an answer to my question. Many thanks. Could you say any more about this, or perhaps provide an example? Its hard to know what you mean.

EDIT: Attempting to answer my own question, perhaps it occurs when you define a product type with a constructor

data Foo = Foo bar baz

and then you want to add a new field to Foo

data Foo = Foo bar baz quux

All your explicit uses of Foo in construction and pattern matching have now broken.
More like: the panel supports 240hz, but you can't get 240hz content into the TV (they don't exist and require high end interfaces), so you interpolate 30hz (which you do have) to 240 hz. Why go through all this trouble for fake 240hz? Probably because it sounds good as marketing.
The problem with the "heavy metal" approach is also secondary radiation. Sure, you've protected your package (robot, whatever) from the beta and alpha, but now your metal is re-radiating in the gamma spectrum and practically cooking your goose.

>I'd seriously question this. There's a ton of stuff which they have both done which would be met with horror by "economically liberal" types if it were tried in the west.

I'd wager the vast majority of economic liberals would welcome government controls on the housing market and medical market if it meant a top tax rate of 20% (with the average person paying much less), no capital gains tax, and extremely liberal immigration policies. The lesser of two evils, so to speak.

>I think those "ease of doing business measures" are fluff at best and at worst, basically just outright propaganda on behalf of foreign investors.

If you want a more concrete example: in Australia it takes approximately one day and zero dollars to open a business. In China it often takes over 30 days and thousands of dollars in deposit, depending on the kind of business.

>Whatever propaganda you are fed, it's fairly obvious from the eye that, for instance, the quality of housing in Bangladesh countryside/2nd tier towns is worse than those in North Korea's 2nd tier towns and countryside.

I encourage you to watch accounts given by people who managed to escape from North Korea: they give me the impression that starvation is a bigger problem there than even in Bangladesh.
I can't tell if this comment is sarcastic or not. Could you expound on this a bit? What kind of retrofitting are you talking about, and how would registration help? The US also has drone registration as of a year or two ago, under the FAA. I'm not really sure what that accomplishes either, though. They might just be gradually ramping up to more aggressive restrictions.
That just puts it out of sight, out of mind. I have thousands of meticulously tagged tabs, including a tag called "toread". I think I can count the number of those I've read without taking my shoes off. And if I want something in the future I generally find myself googling it.

But I have on more than one occasion been unable to remember how I got to a page, or even how to search for it, and in those times I found my system invaluable.

The only downside is that the Thunderbolt port on the 9560 is two PCIe lanes instead of 4. I'd wager it's because of the GTX 1050 inside using some of them. Oddly, the only XPS laptop with 4 lanes to the Thunderbolt port is the XPS 13 9365 2 in 1.

If you ever want more oomf graphics-wise at your desk, grab the Gigabyte Gaming Box with a GTX 1070 inside. You get HDMI, DisplayPort and two DVI ports to keep permanently connected to your desktop displays as well as 4 USB 3 ports (one with QuickCharge 3.0) to keep connected to your keyboard, mouse, external drives, and other peripherals. I'd wager you're doing most of that with your docking station now, but the Auroros Gaming Box is a crazy deal at $599 for anyone that wants more GPU at the desk or doesn't have a discrete card in their laptop but has TB3.

So I moved to a development hub, coming from a low paying country, and because of that I received a 0.5 X salary, where X is what I believe my value to be.

Naturally, I was highly unsatisfied, so I started looking around. Eventually I passed a couple of interviews and requested 0.7 X, hoping to gradually get to my true valuation.

But in a big surprise, a very well known company actually gave me 1.0 X, even if I only requested 0.7 X, them saying that they have this internal system where they try to match salaries based on their perceived value, and not on you negotiating position.

Let us not forget that most developers are very bad at negotiating salaries.

Secret salaries are highly asymmetric, because they are only secret to one party. So as all asymmetric information, it will be exploited for benefit.

Not true, you could make it a tort instead of a law, where employees can sue for punitive damages if secret negotiations have occurred. No guns necessary.
The second one would never fly as a news headline, even though I agree it's clear, readable and descriptive. The Bloomberg News style guide probably specifies that headlines should have a verb in them, and maybe encourages the active mood which would rule out your first suggestion too. Looking at the front page of bloomberg.com, the same pattern is universal with one exception: "Trump, Russia and the Early Murmurs About Pardons". Looking further down, their opinion pieces seem to be allowed a wider variety of styles.

There was a documentary about Tchernobyl surrounding forest few years ago. Most of the vegetation grew back, healthily for my naked eye. Anyways, the most surprising part is that mammals were back too; even though the radiation level was higher than average.
