I've heard a lot of my foreign born collegues do that. After they've reached a certain seniority, they decide to go back to their country of birth while keeping similar compensation, essentially making them very rich in their home country. I've only seen this work for Indian and Chinese born nationals though, where the home country has good relations with the US (as opposed to, say Iraninans, who don't have the option of going back).

This is an excellent comment, I want to second every single thing said here.

To follow up this point:

> - Once you've built up an 8 to 12 month nest egg of reserve cash, start allocating the rest in a diversified portfolio. Pick securities from the trading company that don't have transaction costs (large discount brokers usually have in house mirrors of popular ETFs for this).

Here are a couple of simple, low-cost all-in-one options that get you that diversified portfolio without you having to think about it. Pick one:

There are plenty of others, but those are two that I'd recommend in a heartbeat.
> I am convinced that, instead of cars, if cyclists or pedestrians were going by, someone would have helped me (even just by calling the police).

Cyclists and pedestrians turn a blind eye and avoid involvement with crimes they witness, too.

Of course, they are more likely to actually be around long enough to recognize what's going on, but that's no guarantee of willingness to get involved.

I am not familiar with IPFS internals, but is there no pattern to the IPFS traffic that the ISPs can shape/block?

Too bad about the entire IPFS domain being blocked, because besides the host, HTTPS traffic has safety in numbers. If only there was a way to proxy through google.com or some other popular domain too important to block.

Not really, because once there are workers other than Service Workers, they'll have their own names. To be clear, a Service Worker is one kind of Worker. At the moment it's the only kind, but we could introduce others in the future. For instance, maybe we'd introduce a "DNS Worker" that responds to DNS requests.

Also note we didn't invent these terms. "Workers" and "Service Workers" are W3C standards.

"Basically, the code recurses a sha256 computation 1714 times to get a lookup key, and then once more to get a password for decryption."

This is an Easter Egg. Barcelona fell on September 11, 1714 during the War of Spanish Succession and with that Catalonia's freedom as well. September 11 is the National Day of Catalonia.

Also, at 17:14 of each and every game of FC Barcelona in Camp Nou Stadium, Barcelona fans claim for independence [1].

So it was not by chance that the coder chose 1714 for the encryption algorithm.

> By that reasoning, IBM is outsourcing from the US for exactly the same reason virtually all the other companies you listed are.

Of course. Most of the outsourcing has been about labor costs. The US has among the highest labor costs on the the planet, the nations (Vietnam, China, India, Mexico, etc) that the US has heavily outsourced to - whether manufacturing or IT - are or were far lower net cost nations to do those outsourced things in.

What's cutting against the US is mostly obvious: incomes are very high, infrastructure costs are far too high (impacts almost everything in the cost structure in the US, from transportation to manufacturing), the effective corporate income tax rate in the US is among the highest (while many developed nations are aggressively lowering their rates), vast & rapid growth in economic regulations over the last 30-40 years, large expansion of general burden on business formation over that time (taxes, regulation, red tape, abusive zoning laws, etc.; leading to far lower dynamism in the US economy, weak productivity growth, perpetually falling new business formation, etc).
What statistical evidence? I think a wide-ranging study on this topic would be interesting.

However, I also don't know what the point would be of breaking it down by gender (any more than you'd break it down by race).

Wouldn't you be better served to have instead spent that time figuring out how to fix the problem (how do you explain it effectively) rather than whom to blame?
I agree about the "no zero days" rule. The thing is to establish a habit and it will become natural. It's almost like you'll close off to outside input when you follow your habits.

Even if it's not directly related to depression I highly recommend "The Power of Habit".

Establishing habits I in advance know is good for me helped my when I go through my unproductive and depressed periods. Focus on establishing one habit and doing it every day. When you've gone 21 days straight start with a new habit.
As a relatively young entrepreneur that fell in love a year ago, and then had the relationship fall apart a few months ago, I found falling in and out of love to destroy my productivity.

I was in a multi month rut that I only crawled out of through therapy and understanding how to actually care about myself.

As much as I know that I'd be better at handling the situation after having experience now, the sheer awfulness of having to run a business while feeling heartbroken turns me off from wanting another relationship. I guess I understand now why so many entrepreneurs I know have messy love lives.

Its about time. The Youtube UI has become a disaster over the last few years. It all started with the ability to let uploaders "annotate" their videos. I've disabled the setting to show annotations probably a dozen times and they keep coming back. I can't figure out if the setting is poorly implemented or if youtube is deliberately switching the setting back.
Introducing the Living Document
From what I can tell it seems the RNN learned when the speaker was talking. It then just make sharp cuts to blank out when the speaker is not talking. It does not appear to have learned how to extract just the frequencies of the speaker but rather just when a speaker is speaking.

I feel this could be taken a step more in such that when the speaker and overlapping loud sound happens at the same time it is able to extract just the speakers voice.

Now obviously this is easier said than done.
Promoted to Head of Outsourcing...
Why not instead work on ways to reduce the need to move people from one place on Earth to another, thereby eliminating the cost, hassle and pollution of air travel and hypothetical rocket travel? There's a huge amount of progress that can be made in telepresence technology--it seems silly to get hung up on the assumption that in order to do something or experience something somewhere you need your bag of water and meat to physically be there. We're very close to mass adopting remote employment--to the point where the barriers are no longer technical but cultural. Why not work on the same for other areas of business and for personal vacations? Physical travel should seem like a silly inefficiency!

We should focus on making the Holodeck, not rockets.
The current AI seems to be pretty good at pattern recognition. There’s plenty of active research in higher-level “cognition” like decision theories and semantics, so I don’t think it’s crazy to believe good results will emerge there in the next few decades.
I'm trying to move the pieces so that the lines are continuous along all the faces with no dead ends. This would actually make a pretty fun minigame if it was achievable.
I agree that's not a good implication to make. The question was about understanding why the editorial comment would be made at all at the time, what the motivation for it was, and why the supposed reasoning for using the pronoun was the user being in a particular environment and time instead of the simpler explanation of pronoun tradition. A plausible candidate would be the ideological battles for the correct usage of pronouns that I've seen in my own adulthood, which isn't to say all ideological issues are bad for being ideological.

> Given [their success], it seems like they should be given the benefit of the doubt when they say they are going to do something.

There is a saying "Nullius in verba" (On the word of no one). Take nobody's word, take their proof. It is a founding principle in science and engineering. It isn't that we should give them the benefit of the doubt, we should give NO ONE the benefit of the doubt.

> I don't understand why people are so quick to dismiss SpaceX's ambitions as unrealistic.

We're taught to be extremely skeptical in the scientific community, and I'd say that the rocket community is more skeptical than the general engineering community.

Another factor, is that their prices are not as low as they advertise. And then there is the amount of re-usability they expect. I'm not saying it is impossible, it is just ambitious. So the community is more in a "we'll wait and see. But we are watching very closely".
"Basically, the code recurses a sha256 computation 1714 times to get a lookup key, and then once more to get a password for decryption."

Other way around, no? The index is the hash of the decryption key (as it should be), it's just that the index is called "key" and the key is called "lookup".

If the decryption key was the hash of the index, then it would be trivial to decrypt every entry.
Out of curiosity, where on the actual website is the crypto code? (It's way harder to follow than your simplified version :) )

Also how are they distributing the initial hash - physical signs? I figure the easiest threat from Spain is to get people to show up to the wrong polling stations, which don't have them on the voter rolls, and then cast doubts on the validity of a referendum that has a huge number of provisional ballots. Since you don't actually need to staff polling stations, this attack only really requires a single person setting up a cloned website and distributing a different hash (although it gets easier if e.g. the postal service is willing to help you send out the wrong hash).
Well, here I was having my head spun round and round by GAN's, LTSM, Bayes Belief Nets, causality networks, counterfactuals, and scale.. for optimisation, simulation.

Those won't be going away when we send humans to Mars.

I've lived in NYC in 75, 80, and 100k salaries and I've been fine in all cases. And that's without roommates and my SO being a student (so she can only contribute a bit for groceries, not rent). Rents are high, but so are software engineer salaries. Almost all of my friends who work in other industries make do with 50-60k salaries - we're fine.

If you really want to save, get a 2 bedroom apartment with someone. If they make >70k you will have a good amount of money for fun/saving/loans.
They’re also mostly doing the kind of work that government aerospace agencies have utterly nailed in the 60s. In fact in some aspects (transporting humans to and fro) they aren’t quite there yet. Reusability just wasn’t a concern when budgets were bottomless. There are Soviet designs where boosters would land much like planes do, wings and all, but those remained on the drawing board.

Here's a suggestion not often mentioned, volunteering.

Depression is an extremely narcissistic condition, being stuck in your mind with countless loops of thoughts about you that are unrealistically negative.

Volunteering can put a little crack in that.

Of course if you're depressed to the point where leaving the bed isn't an option, that suggestion is moot.
Most (all?) of that rate provided by the shuttle program and by early vehicles from the 60s and 70s.

Mercury + Gemini + Apollo had a 0% death rate in-flight. Not that they didn't come very close.

The shuttle had numerous design flaws. The use of solid fuel. A booster that was assembled in seven different sections, fastened, and sealed with rubber o-rings. Go-fever. Foam insulation that was known to fall off and strike the orbiter during launch.

Not that space flight isn't dangerous. My point is we can do a lot better with proper designs and attitudes. SpaceX also gets to examine and improve their stages in a way that has never been possible now that they come back in one piece.

Not all systems work with the software down. Yes, power steering works with the power down, but that's for an engine failure, not for an electronics failure or software crash. But I believe that airplanes that use software to adjust the wing control surfaces move them to neutral positions on software failure. (I can't prove that, and I have no first-hand knowledge - just recall hearing it once, if I remember correctly). That means that, while the software's down, the wings won't break off, and it won't crash due to the control surfaces doing something bizarre, but you can't navigate the plane. That's still pretty bad.
I would rather say, it's a matter of having libc and kernel developed as a single package ("base system") by the same people, and versioned together, versus having the kernel and the userland separate.

Governments usually do not like to give up the money making portions of their countries and neither does the population of the rest of the country. You never see a poor part of a country seceding (well, other than Quebec maybe).
>It does not indicate that only, e.g., spacial ability is falling. Given that verbal is a direct component in its own right (as well as a factor in other areas due to comprehension and communication), it is reasonable to state that verbal is likely a factor in the falling average IQ.

You gave your answer here:

>You're just asserting things you want to be true.

Article states the IQ has been dropped. We don’t knew which part, we don’t know why, we don’t now how much.

You are just saying “immigrants have problem with language” -> “immigration causes this drop”. This is total nonsense. We don’t know. Maybe there is the change is related to influence of smartphone and etc. has you calculated how much immigrants we accepted? How much our IQ has been dropped? Does the math makes sense with these numbers or there should be other factors?

We don’t know. Do you understand what “we don’t know” means?

I think the best answer is what you gave to yourself.

>You're just asserting things you want to be true.

> and Catalonia's government is the one at fault for all this hassle.

My interpretation of GP's comment was about the draconian approach towards silencing internet activity. Is it believed the raiding of ISPs, outright blocking of websites, etc is the fault of Catalonia's government or Spain's?
I'm not fully arguing against your point, but would just like to make one observation:

IBM has been laying off people in the US (and maybe elsewhere too) for several years, every now and then. I have been in the software field for many years now, and have been reading the industry news for a long time, that's how I know it. I remember even way back, I used to read the news in Indian and foreign IT magazines, every now and then, that IBM (and other US companies too) were laying off like 10K, 20K, or more workers at a time. And it was not always because of outsourcing jobs to India, in many earlier cases it was before outsourcing even started.
I worked on a data science team at IBM in the Watson division and most of the people in my group in America were Indian or Pakistani.

It didn't require it; it was optional depending on how you used ExtJS. In a project I worked on we simply had the minified, master extjs.min.js file included and then we simply referenced and used that.

I don't remember how the build stuff differed but it wasn't required (though I'm sure there was a benefit to using it).
As a developer of some "popular" widgets, I owe a great deal to ExtJS because it taught me that encapsulation, especially in JavaScript, a scripted language with defacto accessible source code, is just absurd. A simple thing like that reminded me of functional programming and the rest is history.

Extending a dropdown component meant that i had to copy some closure just to change a number in a wrapped function, and then update the copy-paste with each extjs version that touched it. Why? Because the developer didn't know any better. Similarly now you have "private" fields in classes, etc because some group wants them, because other languages have them so ofc JavaScript needs it too. When all you have is a hammer...

ExtJS is very much rooted in me as a "not like this", as much as Douglas Crockford is preaching a "keep it simple, stupid, like this". I get pleasure just by hearing him give a talk and saying that while they kids are adding and adding to this pretty ok language, he only needs tail call optimizations, because keeping to the good parts is more than enough.
Nope. Linear regression will not reconstruct images, nor will it create and generate new images that have not existed previously from databases of images. Nor will it translate colloquial Chinese into colloquial English, nor will it deconstruct a question into a set of queries and generate an answer.

The issue isn't the availability of fantastic algorithmics, it's the availability of people who can see them and apply them to real applications.

Only using the latest part of the DNI is not that good though. The letter is actually a control character, which can be computed from the 8 numbers.
