It always bug me, when developers, people whose main task is passing different data to and fro, are unable to provide information in format that is unequivocal for recipient. Do you really, for example, in systems you create, store or send money data without currency information?
By itself, OSM is just a geo database so it's somewhat misleading to state "what it doesn't tells you".

In fact, OSM is perfectly capable of representing lane restrictions (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lanes) and some of the existing OSM clients (such as OsmAnd) offer 'lane assist' (arguably, it might not be as good as Google's but there's no fundamental problem in achieving feature parity).

And while the GMaps feature of offering you route alternatives based on the current traffic is nice, the "price" you are paying for it is unconditionally sharing your location with google while the GMaps app is running (or even at all times, depending on you settings). I personally don't feel comfortable with that compromise.
> Add to this the fact that Universities receive no penalty from the market for continually increasing their prices.

This article is about universities in the UK, and they cannot arbitrarily decide to increase their tuition fees for home student.

> Because student loans are available to service ever increasing tuition costs

For many, a drop in tuition fees would never actually be noticed. For those that start to notice, it'll only make a difference when they're much older. This is because student loans in the UK are income contingent, and forgiven after a set period. Most people will not pay off their loans before they are forgiven.

Electric bikes are not as easy to take apart and sell on. (I'm sure I'll be proved wrong.)

I have a gold standard D-Lock that is side mounted on the frame (weight not an issue) that I use when parking up. There is also a dutch style rear wheel lock mounted to the frame I also use. The battery has a key that keeps it locked to the frame. The head unit for the eBike display is removable and I take that with me whenever I leave it locked up making the motor unusable.

Basically you're trying to steal a 25kg (55lb) bike with multiple security features and relatively unique electric parts that people would be wary of buying due to lack of guarantees.

Sometimes if I'm popping into a shop/café, I use the bike stand, lock using the dutch lock, and just take the head unit off. I'm guessing somebody could pull up in a van and just lift the bike but the opportunistic 'snatch' is so not going to get very far.

Clinical trials revolution could change the future of medical research
I would disagree. Zurich does indeed pay very well, but it's very hard to get a job there, and salaries are only competitive with the Bay Area at lower levels. That means it's possible to find a job that pays 100k, but 300k compensation packages are far, far more rare than in the Bay Area. I don't know any company apart from Google that pays that much for senior engineers.

I tried to get a job there about 8 months ago, and I could only convince 3 startups to interview me (after I failed to get a job at Google), and I didn't get an offer at any of them. I failed one for "cultural fit", one because I didn't do well enough in the technical phone screen, and with the third one I decided to stop the process because I had another offer and was tired of interviewing. It's fine to not accept people for cultural reasons, but if there are 4 startups that are hiring in Zurich, that kinda sucks for candidates.

Also, recently Google started paying new engineers in Zurich lower than in the US (same salary, far fewer RSUs). I guess the lack of competition in the European market is a good enough reason.

Do you know any companies in Zurich hiring developers that pay Bay Area salaries (100k junior, 200k senior) and hire >100 engineers a year?

In a large cluster, you'd probably plan on replacing every drive that failed rather than reconfigure to use less redundancy. So in that case, you'd probably want the hot spare feature to be stabilized and upstreamed. Then the FS could automatically copy over (or reconstruct from parity) data for a missing disk, without modifying data on the surviving disks.

In environments with a smaller budget that want to get the system back up and running before a replacement drive is available, it could be valuable to be able to pre-specify that the system should rebalance with less redundancy when a drive goes missing. I'm not aware of any work to implement this kind of feature. No enterprise customer would want or use this feature, and even a home user on a shoestring budget wouldn't necessarily want this rebalancing to happen automatically. (What if the drive was only temporarily missing, such as from a failed or loose SATA cable? You wouldn't want to do a ton of re-writing of data only to have to reverse it on the next boot.)

> Same with all the unemployment in Spain, people could move to e.g. Germany in masses but they don't.

Did you know? It costs money to move somewhere, and unemployed people have very limited incomes. Stumping up the apartment deposit + bus ticket + float to cover living expenses until first payday might be hundreds of Euros & be completely unreachable.

I think people would jump at the opportunity for a well-paid job and are far more rational in their decisions than you give them credit for.
The living costs are high, but still noticeably lower than the craziness of US tech hubs.

Fade in animations are a bit slow, and content is sparse.

I opened the page, scrolled down, and didn't see any text fade in at all since I hit the bottom of the page pretty quick. Once at the bottom the empty margin/padding is so big that I only see the home buttons on the dummy phones.

There are also quite a few scroll positions that only fade in a single line of text, but no image (yet). There are a few other positions that only show an image, the accompanied text is already out of the viewport. Given that there is so little content and so much empty space, this is not a great use of screen real estate.

I'd recommend multiple bikes. Ebikes can be inherently boring to go for a long ride on as you are essentially free-wheeling. Nothing quite like the quiet of the road as you are cycling along. Ebikes always make a whirring noise.

As a way to get from A to B quickly, nothing beats them in a city.

I did an Air Pollution piece for the BBC comparing exposure of somebody walking, cycling, and driving in and around Bath. As the cyclist, they told me I was travelling around the city a bit too fast for the pollution monitor to get all my data correctly. ;)

> At the end of this (i.e. graduate level courses) the only ones with sufficient mastery are those that are doing the research.

Sadly, sufficient mastery of the subject often comes at the cost of sufficient mastery of teaching, which becomes especially important for such difficult subjects. If only some of that money spent on more staff was spent on assistant teachers whose main skill was teaching and coaching other teachers, and providing paid hours for both of them to fix the curriculum together...

Anyway, I fully agree with your second paragraph. Another issue is that of researchers not really seeming to care, having an attitude of "you shouldn't be in University unless you really want to learn this, and I'm not going to try to motivate you or help you with that." There's some truth to that, but it also sometimes feels like it's used as a way to mask their own teaching incompetence.

I was asked to be an assistant teacher after graduating from my masters, and I completely freaked out about the responsibility of making sure I wouldn't fuck up my student's education (I cared more than most of my students did). I almost declined the job offer! I was basically told "yeah we know, that's part of why we want you."

Anyway, I spent a lot of time on-line trying to find advice on the dos and dont's of education. I can say that the best two lecture were Eric Mazur's Confessions of a Converted Lecturer[0] and John Corrigan's Are We Listening To Our Children?[1]. I think every teacher should watch these at least once.

> They do this because it's a logical pre-requisite for overturning Roe v. Wade.

It's not. They could just rule that fetuses of a certain gestational age are actually people and ban late term abortions (with fair exceptions).

Or they could rule that those fetuses are people and leave it to individual states to decide how to balance the rights to privacy and speech in these cases. States have the ability to use capital punishment, so there's some precedence for encoding the limits of fundamental rights at the state level.

Yeah, that's a good point. Of course, I was picturing an autonomous robot as not being internet connected and generally having AI that comes down to 'destroy anything that moves' without any way to change it (maybe the entire hard drive in the thing is read only).

It'd be significantly harder to hack if there was no way to change how it works without opening the thing up with a screwdriver.

Then again, I'm not sure how attractive something so primitive would be in a society where internet connected systems with learning possibilities would be touted as the next big thing. I mean, I'd also say most internet of things devices could also be made much harder to hack if they didn't ever 'phone home' and were maintained entirely locally, but the market doesn't seem to be doing that.

Can't open the doc because it's blocked by my employer. But generally the developer wage is very low in Europe compared with US(Bay area).

AFAIK London have the highest salary among european countries, usually handed out by Investment banks and other financial service companies.

In London a tier 1 bank's VP developer will typically get £90k-110k base, plus 15-40% bonus. If you work for a hedge fund, the base is typically 10% higher with 10-20% more bonus. To get a VP job in a bank you usually need 7 year+ experience after graduation.

In contrast the big tech companies in london pays about 10-20% less base salary than banks, far less cash bonus. But depends on which one you are working for, the RSU could be either similar to the states side or a bit less. The signon bonus is usually quite low as well.

Startups in London have very low pay, typically 50-60% of your market value in a bank.

So if you are a top developer with 15 years+ experience, works for a top hedge fund in London, you'll most likely take home < £200k, which is like $260, that's only about average wage for a google senior developer.

You are going to get all the usual suspects listed here. What would be more interesting to read is the companies that should have succeeded, but failed for some crazy reasons.

I will give you a personal anecdote of my company. We failed (not ending in bankruptcy thankfully) because 9/11 caused all our customers to freeze and not be able to make a decision. We end up in the situation where everyone said yes on an intellectual level, but they just couldn’t sign on an emotional level because they were too uncertain about the future. A year later they were over this, but it was too late.
Or most places in rural America. It isn't uncommon for folks to drive 30-60 minutes to their nearest cheap shopping center. Sometimes there is a store closer, but they tend to have limited selection and high prices, especially on things like laundry soap.

That said, if you are going there anyway, the store-pickup still seems like an attractive option. Part of the downfall of Walmart is the time spent in the store, searching out things, wading through isles of people, and waiting for the badly staffed registers to get you through the line, only to be checked for stealing on your way out. This is worse if you must bring children with you. One can easily save an hour of time just picking it up.
In the US this is often handled by using funds from educational loans. I knew many years ago one or two people in college who took the money they got from educational loans and used it as a fund to acquire and sell large quantities of narcotics, which they built into a lifestyle business while they were at university.
Indeed, Tesco in the UK where doing 8% on home delivery about 3 years ago. Can't find more recent numbers but you have to think it's 10-15% now. Anecdotally at least it's not uncommon to see the delivery vans around.
