Absolutely the opposite. I've been poor and absolutely I valued connections and networks over the fundamentals, much as rich people do.

Frankly I think this is the rational decision under the circumstances, factoring in uncertainty and decision costs.

You think I'm SJWing here while I'm just trying to explain how people actually make decisions, which is typically not with reference to abstract tables, but based on proximate lived experience.

I suppose. That doesn’t speak very much to the healthy of the economy, however, much less to whether it can serve me well—how many of those jobs will be there in 20 years? Will I regret it if I buy a house there? Will I be stuck doing some job I hate because it’s the only job that pays well enough in the area?
I know it is common practice in psychology to rely heavily on data from student populations, but the tables 2 and 3 in the paper - the data on stereotype accuracy - are almost entirely comprised of college students (except for 1 low-n study that merely included students), predominantly psychology undergraduates. Can we expect that these populations represent average stereotype accuracy, or that their perceptions wouldn't calcify toward exaggeration with time?
There is a solution. At the moment successful EU countries such as Germany, Sweden, Finland, Denmark are struggling with aging population and not enough people to fill blue colar jobs.

I think EU should make it easier for US citizens who get any job here to move over. Americans in general are super hard working. Europe needs hard working people, while we can provide them with free universal healthcare, free university education, and way more upward mobility than they could ever dream of.

The deal could be so that you can move to Europe for any job, and if you work for 5 years then you are eligible for permanent residence. If you loose your work, and become unemployed for more than 6 months you have to move back to US.

Yes, there would be risks, but at the same time, it could also be a win win - hard working folk from USA would get a chance to raise their kids in a society that would allow them to put their kids through college without selling a kidney.

This lawsuit won't help them a bit, though. They're struggling because they gained a persistent reputation among gamers that games built with their engine are beautiful but unplayable on any normal hardware. Whenever I hear "CryEngine" I think of the "But will it run Crysis?" joke.

Maybe they should have rebranded it, but in any case they seem to have done something wrong about their business in comparison to, say, Unity.
"You're more likely to die of boredom, but isn't that better than food stamps, and isn't boredom good if you want to raise a family?"

That's pretty much it. The Bay Area gives you the chance to be on the cutting edge of change, which - for a certain personality type that tends to be overrepresented in the Bay Area - is often reason enough to live there. Most of the people who want a stable & boring environment to raise a family have already left. Most of the rest are from regions where boring != stable. (Seriously: I'm expecting a kid in the near future, and in the childbirth classes, there are literally no white people - the only people having babies in Silicon Valley are seemingly Indian and Chinese, along with a smattering of Mexicans and other immigrants. I have a bunch of white friends here, and of the ones who have had kids or are planning to in the near future, they fit into two groups: 50% have moved back to their hometown already, and 50% are planning to.)

There's also the issue where history has basically never been kind to groups of people who felt they could live a stable, boring existence while clinging to old ways and enjoying a high standard of living. Makes me a little scared for America, but that reckoning is probably decades out.

How does paddle.com handle this? They take over as merchant of record, and so technically they're selling your SaaS and paying you royalties via a reverse invoice. Any idea if they need to or give our FIRCs?
Agreed. I just felt a stronger need to comment on the zeroth bullet point in the list.
Sorry for being a bit vague but I didn't mean to imply there were tests. I meant test in the sense of "do whatever you did to check correctness" in the first place. You change the code, you should do that process again or at least some approximation of it. Automated tests make it pretty easy, manual testing makes it doable, stepping through with a debugger or dumping printing statements makes it painful and error prone.

Many codebases don't have tests at all, most have terrible tests, and under no circumstances do I think they magically prevent all bugs. But I do think obnoxious coders who assume they can just merge and move on without checking the correctness have a special place in hell.
And despite all these efforts, I'm still a happy user of the pirate bay whenever I want to watch something that I can't find on iTunes or Amazon. For me, the Pirate Bay has been the most reliable way to find stuff over the last years, for so many things it's still better than all the paid alternatives that I use.

So much money wasted on futile attempts to suppress a website...
I haven't used the CryEngine but often times if you think you "need" a higher bit coordinate system (don't you mean 128-bit? ala long double? Doubles are already 64-bits and 80-bits internally.) you may be thinking of the problem in the wrong way.

There's no reason you can't (in most games) have a segregated coordinate system. For example, where each star is the center, the (0,0,0) point. And when you warp from one star system to another, the new star is the new (0,0,0) point.

Floats are great for huge distances, and tiny distances. They are horrific at BOTH at the same time... like say... adding a tiny fractional velocity vector per frame to an object millions or billions of units away. (There is a minimum amount you can add to a float without rounding down to the same original number, and the minimum change gets bigger the bigger the number is.)

http://blog.reverberate.org/2014/09/what-every-computer-prog...

IIRC, KSP does the same thing and coordinates are to the nearest "planet of influence"--which has the affect of removing Lagrangian points for orbits but otherwise works great without needing custom math types which are much much slower than native types, and it doesn't require ripping out all of the assumptions that an entire engine (Unity in the case of KSP) runs on.

When I created my own 2-D KSP, I ended up encountering all of these issues first-hand, and simply adding more precision didn't help nearly as much as segregating my coordinate system when we're talking about "astronomical" scales.

So if they're actually using non-native types, or having to change the engine, then they better have damn good reasons to do it. You don't change something that fundamental unless you're insanely brash, or, you've got a very-carefully-thought-out hard requirement that cannot be worked around.

If they really "need" space ships to have huge precision at any point in the universe regardless of proximity to a star, I would rather create "false/invisble stars" (almost like a quadtree/octree tree) where ever they are needed. Like when a huge fleet is moving around in free space, it would have a coordinate system following the capital ship. And if two groups of capital ships are attacking, you merge the coordinate systems.
Wow, going to Hitler already?

The people who were going to move our economy and society forward are not the motivated ones. A fire needs to be lit under their asses. What else are they entitled to for _no_ effort?

If they weren't going to benefit our society at all and might be a detriment, a round of ammunition costs far less than UBI.

You can do something like that easily by keeping multiple branches around. I do that sometimes when I'm doing some major rebase/cleanup of commits spanning more than a couple of days. Just so afterwards I can compare what I end up with with what I had originally.
A) Bitoin is not a stock, it's a currency. It'ss value lies in its utility.

B) There are (a lot of) stocks that do not pay dividends and never will. There are a lot of stocks that were issued by companies that never made a profit. Both of those categories are traded with a value above zero, how do you explain that?
This is a peeve of mine, and one of the reasons that I find myself preferring to write javascript these days rather than python. Never would have thought I'd say that.

I'm not up to snuff on my compiler theory, but I think at the least this would require upgrading to a two-token lookahead parser, and it might also upgrade the python grammar from context-free to context-sensitive. Accordingly, I wouldn't expect this to get implemented -- IIRC ease of parsing was/is one of the big design goals.

Why not write "governments"? It's much shorter.

As long as people don't mind me waiting 18 months between trades, and not trading amounts remotely large enough to have any effect on the market, sure.

Professionals do have a much harder job of it. As Simon says, they can't sit on their hands for 18 months like I do. I expect if they parked most of the money in an index fund, their customers would start asking why they're paying managed fund rates for an index fund.

Might as well go on the record here, and come back in a year to see how I did. I'm considering UK pizza chains and the like; as the UK gets poorer, and people have less money to spend, the money that used to go on eating out drifts downwards into takeaway pizza and the like. All the signs are that the people of the UK are going to have less money and be faced with higher prices, so I'll look for a pizza chain or similar to invest in.
... but is it bigotry if it's based on actual lived experience?

I mean, you're probably reading a bit too much into the guy's post. He's probably not talking about lynching, more likely about way smaller stuff.
Again this comes down to circumstances. I don't personally know Karla Peralta's money situation, however, there is the possibility of having poor credit due to the food stamps and things like that.

I, again, don't disagree with you but to be so matter of fact is in my opinion incorrect.
Well there is some success in getting rich people to divorce with the majority of their money, but as a general rule you don’t make money by giving it away. I don’t see any tax scheme succeeding if it depends on the participation of the taxed—that will be abused by the rich, who have more resources to launder money.
We already have conditional UBI for certain classes of people and situations. UBI is an incremental step of progress, and holding it up based on worries about not being perfectly utopic seems counterproductive.
Forgive me if this I'm being waaay too naive, but it doesn't seem like the parallelism side of this is a big deal. Playing N games in parallel and then feeding them back in for training doesn't seem like an incredibly innovative idea?

On the timeline issue of course, I don't it's reasonable to make any assumptions about what that implies about the algorithms. It may be that Chess was solved, the dev team went on a 6 month binge, then shoved a Go board in front of the machine and it learned it in a weekend. Alternatively they may have gotten to a point where 5 of their top target games had special cases to learn before they were ready to show off the Chess engine, and that it took 7 months to get the other applications over the line.
Is the POV from the pilot of the 30 or the 35?
It is. As The Pirate Bay don't host any .torrent files, only magnet links, on memory the entire site came to under 200mb.
Easy solution: have two forms of college and let students pick when one they want to go to.

Have one system where it is primarily online and low cost.

Then have the traditional system where it is physical classes and high costs.

Let students decide where to go.
Sure you probably can write non-brittle bash script, but it has always seemed above my own ability.

Though I agree with much of that, I didn't want to conflate what happened 10 years ago with the current situation. The current situation needs it's own whole topic/thread.

Edit: though now we are talking about current situation anyway, I feel there is a chance to turn things around for the better. But it would probably involve many very big adjustments, one being massively higher salary for police officers. (Like 30% more.)
My wife had her credit card info stolen, and used it for about $3000, which was all that was on it. I recognized the site they used for purchases (also in Sweden), and called them up. They were very forthcoming and froze the account/purchases upon number verification (the card was already locked to be disposed at that point). They obviously couldn't give out any personal information to me, but they had information available on who it was for any police inquiry.

I relayed this information to the case handler, and yet immediately after I get a form response of "We've shut this case down since it's obvious there's no way to solve it".

We only needed the report to get our money back through insurance, but it really pisses me off that the police doesn't have resources to solve a case that I have solved for them, yet can spend _65_ officers on a political sham.

One thing that bugs me about these types of 'we hear you loud and clear' statements is the stylistic use of the 'corporate first person plural'. I feel the "we" in this contexts sounds a lot less authentic than a first person singular statement from the founder / CEO.

While companies certainly do have a specific and sometimes even unique culture, do we really think that _they_ have "core beliefs"?
What to avoid when undertaking a digital transformation
TL;DR: Agile is silly but has some lessons to teach. Most people do it wrong though. Make decisions early and stick to them. Talk about effort not time. Make stories about users. Treat bugs differently to stories (they are on average all the same size, are written from a different perspective, etc.). Abandon stand-ups, steal things from SCRUM and Kanban, and don't talk about deadlines, ever.
The point wooshed above your head.

You valued connections and networks, so you made a CHOICE.

Nobody is forcing people to make choices. If you don't have money, you can move and have food and shelter or you can stay in a place you like living at except you have to struggle.

Choose one way or another. Does not matter. But you made the choice based on your priorities.

After you choose, you don't get to complain about how the choices you made led to consequences you don't like so much.

Point is, it doesn't matter how you make your decisions, but strangers do not have a moral obligation to bail you out of bad consequences.
"The new confessions of an economic hitman" by John Perkins is a very good exposition of the close ties of state and corporate powers in the US and how they co-operate to increase the capital wealth of the elite.

It's more autobiographical than a research document, and has some unproven claims, but no one has punched holes in the important claims there AFAIK.
That's not how UBI works, or how math works. The person who makes $120k would contribute $24k and receive $12k. So yes, they would be a net payee. But they're in the top 7% of income earners: they can afford it. Or, more pointedly: the compromises they'd need to make to afford it are NOTHING compared to the compromises made by the bottom 50% simply to survive.
Norway is the same for the record. There was a local case recently where the police knocked down an innocent man on the street, handcuffed him, and charged him with assaulting a police officer. There were something like 30 eye witnesses, still he lost in court, police clearly giving false testimony. Luckily he did win the appeal.
No, it's not. What gives you that idea?
What is the reason for this to be flagged ?
The whole economy isn't built on rent seeking behavior, but rent seekers are largely in charge and are molding it to better fit their interests, even though it already serves their interests very well. Trump (a property developer) is a fairly good example of this.

> So you need to ask yourself, do you have faith that UBI will "free brains enough to produce innovation, progress, and further intellectual output", or lead to massive work reduction, increased prices, and increased complacency?

You don't need to know that yet. As long as you accept that work for the sake of work is not the purpose of life, you can study UBI to see how people behave.

I'm not familiar with the German legal system but the sum did depend on what they've uploaded. (It was detailed in the letter, if I remember correctly, $600 for half an episode-of-whatever and $3000 for multiple movies.)

As for the traffic monitoring, indeed, I'd imagine it to be honeypot tracker where all content/traffic is visible rather than something installed on the ISP side.

magnetohydrodynamics is a real field of study that has been researched as a form of propulsion in water, so I guess that Clancy was just following the latest in research. A quick look at wikipedia confirms that there were prototypes made in 1965.

I did a short project on it while at university. One issue we had was that using any DC currents in salt water inevitably leads to the production of chlorine gas which isn't a great idea. We could only test our MHD motor for less than a minute before we needed to stop and ventilate the area!

Well that's not a first in "misinterpretation". Nuclear disarmament of Ukraine after the collapse of the Iron Curtain was accompanied by a guarantee of Ukrainian borders from US, UK and Russia.
