Australian immigration and customs officials will supply translations of the main forms for all the major European and Asian languages that travellers tend to speak and interpreters for cases where they're considering refusing clearance or cancelling a visa. I would expect most Western countries would have the ability to do that.
Yes. They commonly report negative SpaceX stories, and trashed the hell out of Bernie Sanders during the election, publishing 16 negatives stories in less than a day.
If you know what you're doing, you should be able to figure out a break even point, but it's probably more than you would want to spend, and getting people to sign up is likely difficult. One of the bigger issues is support. Do you really want to be responsible for why your neighbors kids can't get on wifi?
You've got to take the context into account. At that time, the alternatives were things like typewriters that were even more labor-intensive to use. They were learning a tool that made them more productive, and therefore more valuable.

Nowadays, Microsoft's Office suite was, is, and, all indicators suggest, will continue to be a bigger productivity multiplier than any of its competitors. For people who primarily work in office software, choosing something like it is the sensible default for any company whose primary motive is profit. Sure, it costs money, but the cost of the software is tiny compared to a skilled office worker's salary - small enough that I'd estimate it wouldn't have to make someone even 1% more productive to justify the retail price, let alone what it costs if you qualify for any sort of volume discount.

There are other motivating factors that could come into play, sure. But if we're talking places that have to pay for their labor (i.e., not home use) and make heavy use of office software, going with the one with the lowest TCO is a sensible default.

Daily fantasy baseball is a killer due to variation. Even the best can go 0-for-5 on an off night. Winning at the bottom levels of dollar amounts is easy just by taking into account a few extra factors, but the upper levels are more difficult.

DFS NBA is much more predictable, but then everyone else knows that too so it's also much more competitive. You've got to be seriously dialed in to have any edge at all.

I feel like the PGA is still the softest DFS sport. Lots of unexplored territory there, but not giant amounts of money to win.
I think it would be rather large if you count the electric subsidies that states and feds pay for Tesla cars and solar panels.

Tesla themselves generally provides their price comparison or total cost of ownership figures including the government subsidies.
Totally agree. Want to show the appreciation in beers. I wish there are options other than paypal.
Dumb question: since leverage allows you to lose more than you have, what are the repayment terms like when you get yourself into debt? Are the interest rates, repayment term, monthly payments, etc. clearly disclosed like they are for a mortgage or car? How many amateur forex traders had it end in wage garnishment?

As others have mentioned, the BSD man pages are the gold standard.

Man pages should not be "simplified". They should be easy to read, but comprehensive. How comprehensive? I literally learned NetBSD kernel programming by reading man pages. The same with learning how to write X programs two decades ago.
You can't really make a political judgement about the man based on a soft video interview.

The Koch brothers support both libertarian causes and are opposed to action against climate change, to name two. They also put private investigators to dig into the background of a journalist that was writing about them:

More broadly, they are able to affect the shape of the laws being produced in this country by bankrolling various politicians. Their qualification to do so is simply that they are rich. You can find that politically questionable even if you're in favour of their politics.

You don't have to object to them personally, but you can't really say there is nothing for anyone to disagree with.
This would be more persuasive if you explained how charging market rate for rent is worse than some alternative you had in mind.

Of course, moving into an area drives up demand making prices go up, but that comes from taking up space someone else could use, not from buying versus renting. The only way to avoid that is to use less space or move away.
It's just typical anti-Tesla propaganda.
Many companies say things like that, have mission statements, etc. It all depends on what is meant by "values" and, much more importantly, how it's implemented on the ground. Sometimes, "values" means that you agree with the boss or at least don't challenge them in a fundamental way. Sometimes it just means that they want someone to 'fit' in the culture, and often, regardless of what's stated, the only values that will get you hired/fired are profits and office politics.

The Kochs are a special case, though, with their very strong political beliefs; I wonder if "values" refers to that.

Well they haven't profited off the Model S and Model X, and those are $100k vehicles. Is that not a reason to lose money on the Model 3? I suspect they'll make money selling the $50k Model 3s they're starting with, but the $35k base is going to be a stretch.
For me the symbolic math capabilities are interesting. I'm not sure I like the choice of reduce that much, but still few languages offer symbolic capabilities. Python does with SymPy and Maxima is based on Lisp but that's moe a case of a CAS being based on a language than the language having symbolic capabilities and then there is Mathematica (expense being the barrier).

AKL-YVR-LHR is an overnight (13 hours, 8PM-noon, same day) TPAC followed by an overnight (9.5 hours, 6PM-11:30AM, next day) TATL. So it certainly fits your preference for having long overnight flights.
Yes, the "else" implies a singleton, not a null set.
That's not quite how it works (at least, with most of the online forex trading houses like FXCM). At any given time, they know exactly how much you are up or down in total (ie, including your leverage). If you hit the point where you're going to lose more than what you have in your account, they will perform a margin call and close out all your positions.

The really sucky bit here is (I've had that happen) when the market then immediately turns - you simply couldn't buffer the immediate losses ;-)

Allegedly, the Koch Brothers don't plan to take an active role in the company.

"Steve Lombardo, a spokesman for Koch Industries, also said that the Kochs had no plans to take an active role in the expanded company. “This is a passive financial investment made through our equity development arm,” Mr. Lombardo said. The company’s role in the transaction, he said, was similar to that of a bank."

Regardless of what you think of the Koch brothers, this appears to be a mundane deal sensationalized by the specter of the Koch brothers.
Most practically: your personal knowledge of the system will grow tremendously through the process of trying to formalize it and debug the errors you encounter. It's likely that basic assumptions you have about the protocol are false and that real bugs arise due to these subtle imperfections.

Some formal system technologies let you "extract" algorithms into other languages. Model checkers like Alloy don't. What you take away is what you learn and what you can use of that learning to convince others.

A good concrete takeaway would be information you could use to design a test suite that breaks the system even where others believe it to be solid.
This isn't an effort to beat the compiler on speed or optimization - rather, the opposite. It's an effort to produce a method which executes in the exact same amount of time for any input - whether or not it is zero. This is key in implementing crypto while avoiding side-channel timing attacks and this isn't a particularly uncommon way to do so.

Now, with that being said, this strikes me as a domain issue: the OP seems well-versed in crypto and foundation / backend code, which has relatively constrained input and output behaviors and is testable using smart reasoning and fuzzing. This is somewhat different from front-end or user-facing code, which involves handling epic quantities of mutable state and requires validation of a feature end-to-end. I suspect OP writes great, "bug-free" code in the backend / systems domain, but I don't think their testing practice or anecdotes are applicable across the industry.

Average home user non-Internet use case # 0: Printing.

If for no other reason, I will never suggest Linux as a desktop option to any of my non-IT-professional friends & family for this one reason.

Use case # -1 would be "owning a laptop." Linux continues to be finicky on laptops - even when all the hardware works, you still end up with rando issues like poor battery life and fans that never turn off due to imperfect laptop power management.

(That said, there is one version of Linux that has cracked both of these nuts for the case of people who really do just want to use the Web: Chrome OS. And I do recommend that to anyone I think it'll work for.)
In which cases Agile should not be followed / implemented?
Based on my understanding, Agile (Scrum) is empirical. We should be transparent, inspect, learn from our experiences and adapt. However, nothing is limitless and without weaknesses!
With my experiences in the past, we could not implement Agile when team members were always changing. For example, a back-end developer was working on a task for 3 days, if all tests were passed or tester was busy, the back-end developer would move to another project, if any of the tests were passed the developer was called again to fix bugs then front-end would start working, etc.
The reasons behind that were because of not having a reliable velocity and having high flexibility in the team. We could not implement Scrum; I am not sure if Kanban was a good idea though.

Please tell me what were your experiences? When did not you use Agile deliberately? What alternative approaches worked for you?

Thanks
France and Germany have the same rules for residents and for visitors France and some parts of Germany (e.g. Bayern last time I was there) require it. In the us for the past 15 years or so my ID has always been copied/scanned when staying in a hotel.
No, the Koch's are political activists. They put up with him because they have to. Rest assured if the opportunity presented itself to throw him under a bus, they would hesitate. At the end of the day, they know they are likely looking at 4 years at most.
Not a fan of giving sci-fi idealism a blank check. Moonshot is ok, that's how we got ICBMs and spy satellites, arguably necessary to keep a check on our enemies, though that is arguable these days. Roads and the Internet made even more sense. But, funding a for profit company with billions of tax money for sci-fi promises with unproven premises seems much more questionable.

Just because everyone in the US is accustomed to larger companies being able to negotiate a lower tax burden doesn't mean that a transparent, regulated system of breaks and incentives is vastly more equitable and less vulnerable to corruption and capture. Individual states shouldn't be undercutting each other either and bidding away their revenue.
constant time comparison in crypto is potentially important because of timing attacks to gain information. Haven't looked at the code here to see if that's the case, nor am I a crypto expert, but see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_attack

Not all stories are widely known before they break. For instance, Wapo might not pursue an investigative piece on Amazon as enthusiastically, or another investigation may get prioritised because of the owner.

A story that isn't pursued might not see the light of day. Big stories, like the Weinstein disclosures, are broken after long periods of investigation and journalistic grunt-work. Only after they break do you see all the other news outlets pounce on the story and start reporting it. Historically, Wapo has been an important place for investigative work, they broke the Watergate story.

I think that's more the worry.
Facebook is smart to have diversified by satisfying both markets.
My main problem with the Kochs is they have spent millions (billions?) of dollars lying to people about science. That is inexcusable.

They have also somehow single handedly interfered with the appointment of supreme court justices. America should work to ensure no single unelected person has so much power.
Have you ever considered JRuby on Rails? We've had 10.000 students choosing lectures online at the same time using torquebox back in 2012 on just two server instances with multimaster replicated MySQL.

Just a note for OP or others reading that "Bogleheads" are those that follow a certain value investing philosophy from Vanguard founder John Bogle.

For some basic investment literacy, it would not hurt to read "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing" (https://www.amazon.com/Bogleheads-Guide-Investing-Taylor-Lar...). I've also heard good things about John Bogle's "Little Book of Common Sense Investing" but haven't read it.

Why? Because they're keeping the difference.
I get the general point, but as far as I know that purist interpenetration is not actually applied in courts or used in legislatures, other than in a very general sense. I'd love it if someone could inform us about what the laws really are (not the 10th Amendment, but the body of Congressional and state laws) and how they are applied by courts.

Recycling batteries is obviously profitable since there are many companies that do it.
Interesting take, thank you.

There's still a big difference: for us, privately owned companies with whose publications we struggle have been with us for a very long time.

Germany, where I'm from, has a more nuanced concept of free speech than the US, legally banning a greater (but overall still very small) number of topics or expressions.

However, outright banning of a media company is essentially impossible: prosecutors can only go after individual publications. They are using the same regulations to go after Facebook posts as they use to go after newspaper articles, As you might imagine it's not working out, because of sheer volume among other factors. So they've recently created a new law to simplify oversight over social media.

However this is not really a surprising new development. We're not "starting to see these problems", we've struggled with these problems throughout the existence of the German Republic. Technology is currently changing their shape, as it has before (e.g with the advent of private TV), and we're changing our approach to match.

Nothing to see here, really.

Looks like shipping is free, so there's that.

Also, prices are different if you look on Amazon.ca. (Sapiens: $15.21, Chaos Monkeys: $12.86, Creativity Inc: $17.99) So, assuming that the .ca domain means this is a service that's meant primarily for Canadian users, and the rental fee is CAD$10, that makes it look a bit more attractive.

I suspect the uppercase module names are a Haskell influence. Clojure uses `/`, right? So it might look like e.g. `(carp/io/println "Hello, World!")`. Come to think of it, importing names like `(use carp/io/async)` would be pretty cool.
My long term goal is to be continually bettering myself.

There are different types of social interaction on Facebook between different generations, it seems. There are those who use it to keep up with other people and what they're doing, and then there's my generation (the 90s), where everyone tags each other in memes, and it isn't a very personal website.

Whereas there are points in this article that make sense, I don't really understand why they're singling out Facebook as toxic. For many, Facebook is just another feed and not necessarily for social media posts.
The most encouraging thing about this approach is the change to a data-driven systematic approach from the previous “whatever the judge thinks by looking at you” approach. It really doesn’t matter if the algorithm is completely correct, as once you make the conceptual change to using such a system, you can tune the parameters to fix any problems that arise.
Unfortunately, it does not. There's 2 kinds of Gold people invest in.

The non-loony ETFs, Swiss vault storage, etc. Let's simplify to "the GLD ETF" [1]. This of course isn't really gold, it's paper gold (and has in fact been fractional-reserve-banked: there is far more paper gold than actual gold).

The loony gold storage: gold bars under your pillow. Unfortunately, the gold people use for payments is extremely regulated, specific grades of gold, guaranteed by a very small number of financial institutions (and numbered). Whilst at least these are obviously not oversubscribed, if you have one you can't sell it (aside from the subdivision problem), because there's no easy way to verify the guarantees, and there are an untold number of fakes in circulation.
