Rural America has a similar kind of "brain drain" phenomenon as developing nations, although it might be more apt to call it "ambition drain" as there isn't the same artificial selection as with international migration. "Drain" is also a misnomer when the smart/skilled/ambitious emigrants had no constructive outlets for their abilities back home. Whatever it's called, people who want to leave usually can, even if it means they may end up homeless in Hollywood.

> More than a third of all global trade in vegetable seeds originates in the Netherlands.

This is the point. Dutch earn a lot of money with vegetables because they sell most of the seeds of vegetables that Spain, Italy, Morocco and other mediterranean countries use industrially. Because disease resistance, homogeneity of size and time of production, research, availability, and sometimes... plain piratery and renaming of old varieties. Read about the napoleon cherry for example.

1) Tomato is a tropical plant that loves warm and light. More sun means more flavour. You can pick the seeds of the same variety of tomato and culture some in Germany and other in Spain. Unless you can afford to spend a lot of electricity, the last will be always better. The reality is that the bland and the yummy tomato will often belong to exactly the same industrial variety, because...

2)... different grades of quality. Wouldn't be fair to match the cheapest tomato against the better.

3) Consumers do not select only by flavour, they have other interests and will reject a soft and dented tomato. You can sell the first strawberries of the year for a higher price, even if they have virtually no time to develop any flavour. People still love it because strawberries with low flavour is still a better deal that no strawberries at all.

4) more rippen tomato taste better, but if you want your tomato to travel 3000 Km before to reach your table in perfect shape and colour you need to sacrifice something. Small farmers and amateurs that sell locally can afford to pick the fruit more ripe.

5) Antique varieties "taste better", you can enjoy the different flavour variations that came with a bigger genetic diversity, but tomato is a short living species and, unlike good antique apples or plums, seeds of good and true heirloom varieties of tomato are very difficult to find and there is almost not profit in selling it online.
Blue sky laws exist for a reason. Go ahead and google the term.
Don't be sad, there are plenty of opportunity still! And, there's much more easily found information and help :)

A suggestion is to buy eg a MSP430 Launchpad ($10) or STM8 development board (<$1 on Aliexpress) and write simple programs for those. Those cpus are very simple and great starting points.

I love this kind of stuff. I recently built a slow cooker controller to make yogurt that essentially consisted of an Atmel ATmega328 (same as the Arduino Uno) controlling a relay using a DS18B20 digital thermometer. Then, when I was building it, I thought it'd be cool to have a touch screen display to set the desired temperature. Then, I figured that I might as well power the Arduino using the mains supply instead of having a separate 5V input on the box.

In the end, I learned about mains filtering, switch mode power supplies, safety clearances, fail-safety, microcontrollers and programming touch screens all at the same time. Despite there being cheaper, off-the-shelf solutions available, I preferred this approach.
The worst Oracle can do is to stop investing resources in improving it. There are wide range of other sources that you can get a JVM from. Ranging from big IBM, to smaller players like Azul (zing or zulu), RedHat, Excelsior, JamaicaVM from aicas and many more... Who would all be happy to take your money and the mindshare away from Oracle.

OracleJDK might be the no brainer install today for servers. But given any drop in commitment the community is large enough to continue by itself. It will slow down because Oracle puts a lot of money in JVM development so that would be a pity...

Oracle likes to use its lawyers, but only if they can actually win money. If someone can imagine how Oracle could make money out of stopping OpenJDK then I would be worried but I just don't see it. I sooner see them sueing Intel for using some patented trick in ICC to make their SpecCPU results look worse than not continuing to support OpenJDK as they have done today.

Their model is support JVM's for cash. Improve it internally ahead of the curve for making Oracle Cloud better than the other clouds and just get a foot in the door in Marketing materials and good will.

In any case the Java community is so deep and all encompassing that one does not see the giant jungle anymore.
The hardcore VM community is much larger than those of Python, Bash or Ruby. With only JavaScript coming close in VM developer head count.
I didn't get that based on the fact that he moved to a whole other place where he felt safe. No one goes through that kind of hassle without having a good reason. His later actions justify or make me believe his story about the assault.

* BeOS - bee-oss

* MacOS - mack-oss or ma-koss (I hear both)

* NES - ness or nez

* SNES - sness, snez, or some people said sneeze.

* RTOS - ar-toss

In British English, we lean heavily in this direction. The influence of Youtube is making the "kids" say stuff like "bay-ta" rather than "bee-ta" and "oh ess" rather than "oss", but British English speakers still gravitate to saying the latter.
I think what CryptoPunk refers to is that (allegedly) Metro is the only "high street", i.e. with many physical branches, bank created in the UK in the last 100+ years.

Given we're in a thread talking about ICOs and tech startups, I would side with you and say this is an irrelevant classification and the claim is wrong. :-P

Still interesting though, but given the veritable plethora of recently founded remote-only banks of various innovativenesses, I wouldn't say excessive regulation is to blame, if we think this is a Bad Thing.

> I guess a lot of people go to the emergency room because they just need a doctor to confirm that they're all right.

This is correct and an issue all over the world; without a proper network of local doctors and whatnot (with reasonable waiting times), people will jump to the ER, which is 10x as expensive as a local doctor. But when people have a pressing need for care, they don't have much other options.

Healthcare is hard and expensive.
Telling people what you're working on
So basically if you post an artwork on Twitter, Twitter can proceed to sell your art (t-shirts, posters etc.), or sell licenses to do such, without paying you anything.
From TFA: "I don't think anyone should approach management as a thing they move in to permanently. It's psychologically disfiguring."

Such a great quote. The longer I only do management-only work, the more anxiety creeps in silently about not being able to do these things on my own, not being competent enough, being a fake etc. The moment I decide to solve some problem for myself all is cool again - and I'm more trustworthy for the team as well.
The problem is that such an approach tends to create conflict of interest - as a manager you shouldn't interfere too much and allow the team to solve the problems.
Maybe the notion of manager is a problem in itself. It's a tempting perspective, but as far as I remember Google thought so as well and at some point they had to step back and reintroduce classic managers again ( https://hbr.org/2013/12/how-google-sold-its-engineers-on-man... ).
Actually they explicitly pull out bytes (each byte is 8 bits, or 2 hexadecimal digits). So really it’s ducentahexaquinquagesimal (if Wikipedia can be trusted about the word for base 256). https://codisec.com/binary-visualization-explained/

But the files themselves mostly consist of data elements (like numbers) which are larger than that, e.g. 8-byte double-precision floating point numbers.

When people say “binary data” what they mean is that it’s a machine-readable data format, not a human-readable text-based file.
Practically everything in that program is right-wing:

* strengthening the role of the president, weakening the parties (the weak presidential role in Germany is a direct result of the experiences in Nazi Germany)

* reducing the size of the members of parliament

* reducing payments for members of parliament (they currently earn around 10k/month)

* introduction of direct voting (e.g. reducing complex matters to yes/no decisions)

* introduction of a tax wastage crime

* removal of anti-discrimination laws

* higher military budgets

* return to immigration laws where descendence from German bloodlines is needed for naturalization

* higher punishments, especially for the youth

* more surveillance

* anti islam positions

* promoting population growth to counter immigrants

* removing public financial support of daycare

* anti abortion

* lowering tax rates

* forced unpayed labor for long time unemployed

the only left wing positions are:

* pro minimum wage, but no actual numbers given

* guaranteeing more personel in the health care sector

All of this isn't really surprising as the AfD came into life as a right-wing fork of the CDU, the mainstream conservative party in Germany.

It didn't "look like it was", though, that's the problem. Buttons that are flat look exactly the same as any bordered element, e.g. text inputs. Or, at the very least, they look a lot more like them than they otherwise would.

Flat design was just a trend, partly as an overreaction to skeuomorphism. It was a case of 'looks' design overtaking 'usable' design, for no very clear reason; at least, no reason I can see.

Buttons were 'best' when they were 3d and button-shaped. That still leaves a huge amount of customisation for designers to work with, but those two very simple factors should be maintained when producing buttons, IMO. There was a very common understanding that buttons looked that way.
Most other OO languages can pass self implicitly, and don't distinguish between initialization & construction.

It's really interesting to see these comments when I feel the struggle of not having this on a daily basis.

I guess it's ultimately about how web development is actually two things: web pages (posters) and web apps ("software")

Maybe when you're working on some one-off pages you don't feel much need for encapsulation, and in the end it's more trouble than it's worth.

Let's say you are working on a social network though. You'll need to display a "person widget" a bunch, in different contexts. Of course you want to have it be consistent throughout your app. Of course you want it to look the same. Of course you want encapsulation!

When you're writing a web app, your HTML isn't just layout but the entire interface. You're usually working with a huge team and need consistency. You want to be DRY.

If you have a style guide, you probably could benefit some from this. The proof is that things like JQuery UI exist, even if it's activated more through JS.

HTML is basically unreadable in so many cases because you can't encapsulate layout code into widgets. Having these tools lets you stay a bit sane when you need to build out a lot of workflows in a consistent manner.
Which is why I keep stressing POSIX.

A lot of people seem to suggest that some kind of regulation, or even outright ban, of ICOs is necessary. Apparently in order to prevent people from loosing their money on risky investments?

I don't really understand why it is appropriate for someone else to tell me how to spend my hard earned money? Isn't that what freedom of choice is about? Even if I'm being manipulated into a scam, it is still MY choice.

Let people spend their ICO money the way they spend their votes. Its basically the same form of manipulation anyway.

Yes, also hard to express for me. Die Linke of course is not just social, but really socialist, as in pre-communist.

The SPD itself also started out as the socialist-like-communist party in its very early days. Then it became a social-but-not-socialist party, and now it's hard to define any political agenda for them.

Of course your direct political rival is associated with the devil, but for Germany Russia is even a possible political partner, just like the US. So being socialist is not really bad in itself. Many educated people actually have a pro-socialist view on the world here. What probably also need to be considered for non-German readers is this: The word socialist itself has a different meaning. It is more focussed on helping each ohter and helping the poor, than on political agenda. The same way a US citizen wouldn't consider a "Liberal" as a monoply-supporting exploiter, which is a common interpretation of the word "Liberal" here in Germany (which is why the FDP is one of the less strong parties). it's always important to consider that people don't mean the same thing as one would think, when they say such big words.
I'd just like to point out, as a person who was not diagnosed with any particular kind of disorder (and boy, did my family try to make that happen when I wouldn't change my interests to meet their expectations,) that all of this advice is good advice for anyone. Everyone.

It may be more critical for someone with ADHD, but, even so, it's an outline of habits common to effective people. And frankly much of it is a great expression of what it means to be human (change your environment, delegate your efforts, planning and scheming, etc.)
No proof or evidence of anything. I've no idea about what happened here and I don't care but this post makes my BS detector fire in several places.
