I've answered that with "Because I like getting paid" and got the job.

Like most interview things, it's essentially random as to what happens however you respond.
You could try working somewhere other than London. You'd likely take a paycut, but you'd also probably have cheaper living.

Edinburgh and Newcastle both have thriving tech scenes with plenty of startups needing problems solved badly.
I'm now in China. We, in Western Europe, are really decades behind them in mobile payments. This is just so much more convenient.

And yes, it's probably a privacy nightmare, I agree. But at least you can make this choice in here.

That's the way it's treated in UK law, but apparently in the US, you're liable for the tax as soon as you have access to the asset. I think the same thing causes people problems with stock options. Seems like an odd bit of legislation.
I disagree. Expressing an opinion via voting (in the US) means nothing unless more than half the people who vote agree with the person. It's not directly depriving anyone of anything, and if they're in the minority, their vote doesn't have a direct impact on anybody.

Thus if voting leads to somebody losing rights that they ought to have, there exists a problem with the larger community more than one bad actor.

There was a lot of uproar a few years back because Brendan Eich donated a relatively small amount of money to a anti-gay-marriage group, but what got me was that nobody he worked with had any idea. It sounded like he treated everyone fairly regardless of orientation.

To me it speaks volumes (positively) about someone's character if they participate in the democratic process, but if their opinion doesn't win out, they're willing to accept it and live with it.

Good for you. This ruling is re the EU.
What I am asking about is scientific knowledge about

whether or not potassium supplement usually lowers the amount of sodium the body needs to function healthily

Simple as this.

You would understand the fact you have to rely on yourself, science and peers' experience and knowledge more than on doctors if you were an immigrant grown up in a "2.5th world" country living in a "2nd world" one very-very low on money rather than a middle-class citizen of the USA ;-) To make it easier to understand I can say I rarely meet the same doctor more than twice, they are rarely brilliant or motivated and they use to make mutually-opposite claims on life-critical matters.
Why not run Linux as your desktop, especially if your at home in a terminal?

Perhaps give Fedora or Ubuntu a try (just two off the top of my head, not looking for a distro fight).
Again the U.S will use such a kind of propagand? Microsoft had time to fix the WannaCry but they let it open.

WannaCry has been used by NSA, and they are able to claim that they was North Korean with all the Tools they have (check last Wikileaks update)

When U.S will open their eyes ?
Unfortunately POI search (even online) on Here sucks in my experience. Maybe 20-25% of the places I'm actually looking for are there. While with Google it's basically 100%. More often than not I find I have to use Google to find the address of the place I'm going before Here can navigate to it.

I don't blame google, I'm just saying that Google Maps is an inferior product(And yes, the counter argument here is that it's free).
In Russia, Yandex Maps [1] and 2GIS [2] are superior to Google Maps. Particularly the latter, since they actually employ humans to collect information about businesses so they always have accurate business hours and locations (it only works in select cities though).

It works better than law mostly because of the amount of privacy both employees and customer have to sacrifice. Most things would "work better" with that trade-off.

> In downtown Los Angeles, Google’s buildings are so detailed that you can sometimes see the blades inside the rooftop fans.

Doesn't that mean that in that case we are just seeing image processing with no real meaning? I am not sure how this represents the first step in the creation of data from data. If we just want to see the buildings we can switch to "satellite" view.

Contrast this with something like Open Street Map where you end up with an explicit description of the area that a building covers with no extraneous detail.
As a very free market libertarian, I actually agree with this completely. Facebook buying Insta was a very anti-competitive situation. It wasn’t a purchase for a particular tech — it was a purchase specifically to capture a competitor. Grabbing WhatsApp is an even more severe example — it effectively gave Facebook ownership of a vast percentage of messaging networks — both their own and WhatsApp.

Google is a harder one though because Google doesn’t rely upon network effects to the same extreme FB does — meaning, my dad’s search engine choice has no impact on me — but my dad’s messaging client absolutely does.

It’s relatively easy to start a new search engine — it’s close to impossible to start a new general purpose messaging system or social network — at least not one that survives.
Seems they are still using broadband in the term that its permanent on and 'faster' then a dialup. I personally consider 10 Mbit really the lowest lower limit of what i would consider broadband; 10 Mbit with todays web applications like youtube is not what i call high speed.
Openbox is a good option for Linux. It's a floating window manager that has minimal build requirements and is configured via text files, though GUI configuration tools exist for those so inclined. Its menu system supports pipe menus, and you can make it look like nearly anything you want.

The Lumina desktop is another contender; it's a project by the TrueOS/PC-BSD folks and it's coming along nicely. It also has minimal requirements and while it's made for BSD it also works well on Linux.
Lecture Hunt was founded on this idea that education should be more accessible.

I disagree.

I think that copyright should not expire during the creators life. I can profit from my business activities for the entirety of my life, so should an artist.

After death? Absolutely expire that copyright. In fact I think that perhaps a limit of 14 years after death so that a widow can make use of it but no more.
Consumers already can do that — they can refuse to use FB products — but they don’t. So a consumer group is pretty useless without enough consumers to actually exert their power.
> But seriously - you can still do a lot of that if you really need to for some reason. Either use an external library in C++ or write some unsafe code which won't restrict your pointers.

How would unsafe code help here? The problem we were talking about was the lack of move constructors, and I just gave an example of their usefulness with parent pointers. How would unsafe code help? Unsafe code doesn't suddenly give you move constructors does it?

(As for writing external C++ code and linking to it... I mean yeah, but if the entire object model you have to interact with has to be in C++, then you might as well write the whole code in C++ at that point...)

> The free upgrade was to gain critical mass for the upgrade, they learned with vista, 8/8.1 that users were happy with xp/7 and wouldn't pay to change, even with LTS running out. Free upgrade was a way to convince a lot of those people to upgrade.

That is one of the reasons.

> I wouldn't compare it to Linux being free in any way.

Obviously not, given "Linux" is free as in speech. But free as in beer, when you also take into account things like support, doesn't exist. TANSTAAFL. And with macOS you pay via the hardware.

> (sometimes for 30-60 minutes while it tries to install updates)

On a SSD? Very unlikely, unless you're upgrading to a major version. True, Microsoft could make most of these updates being applied whilst OS is still online.

You can schedule these reboots if you got Pro. macOS also sometimes needs to reboot btw. My Android reboots every week (LOS) for new firmware.

What I said about apps requiring unnecesarily a reboot is true though. It used to be far more pervasive as well.

> Windows store is very far from anything like a linux package manager, and it ties you into their ecosystem without extensibility. Same with Apple. Linux package management is extensible and controllable (get packages from these sources, not those, blacklist this version, etc...) so I wouldn't consider them anywhere remotely equivalent.

Depends if you view it from the eyes of a power user or a casual user. The non-technical user just wants something which works ie. a good UI. App Store and Play Store provide that. Those non-technical users don't give a rat about features like "get packages from these sources, not those, blacklist this version".

> The obvious/known privacy issues in windows 10 can be disabled, but the fact the user has to know about find and run third party, reasonably advanced tools/scripts to stop the operating system from spying and advertising to you is absolutely not acceptable from my perspective.

Yeah, true, though the default settings aren't difficult to apply this is a feature most users won't use (just like "only" 33% of the browsers use an adblocker). That, together with their old model of selling licenses, is their business model.

Its funny how in these last 2 points we both shift from PoV of power user to ordinary user and vice versa.
You may want to give a try to vimagit so. https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit/

As soon I started to work with git, I installed fugitive. My learning curve of fugitive has been slow, and I have never be able to stage efficiently with it.

And then, a colleague showed me magit: I waited for a year that something similar comes to vim, trying to push this idea to fugitive https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive/issues/569 , without success.

Finally, some first experiments showed that partial hunk stage was feasible, and I created vimagit.

As you will see, it is far from whole magit features. For the moment, it "only" focuses on stage/unstage and commit feature (which is the main use case to me). The current workflow is quite robust: you can easily navigate through all the diffs to review them, stage by file/hunk/line/part of line, write the commit message (or amend the last commit), jump to the diff locations in their files... I continue to use fugitive for Gblame and Gdiff.

Next major features should be git stash (be able to prepare a stash like a commit, by file/hunk/line) and some git log related feature (to easily git commit --fixup a chosen commit in a log for example).
Long as I can keep using uBlock Origin and disable theirs it's fine with me.
Sure, but if people use your service and some 0.01% of them might send a request just as a matter of principle once GDPR kicks in, then it's quite plausible that the cost efficient way to handle this is to have an automated solution rather than a manual process that doesn't scale.
I think the tl;dr is that you need to work hard in real life to advertise it. The person to person contact is important for expensive, low volume sales.

One related item to keep in mind. Before you start selling lots of customers, potential customers will give you feedback a request/ suggest features. It’s important to try and separate those into “some one is suggesting a feature” and “you need this feature in order to sell your thing”. Don’t get stuck implementing every suggestion just to find that no one will pay for them no matter how many you have. You need to concentrate on the features that truest will sell the first 100 customers.

I can’t tell you how to decide that. Only you with your domain knowledge can decide that.
Earlier this year, Google Maps was directing people traveling to my newly-constructed home to a different location several miles away. I reported the problem to Google via their app, which prompted me to indicate the correct location on a map. The new location was in their database within a day or two, and I received a thank-you email from Google. Amazing.
Well, at least that's one more problem I won't have.
> I can't believe people just start to buy a cryptocurrency because they suddenly can more easily.

Well now you know. Speaking for myself, I can't be bothered to upload my ID to another exchange again. I probably should because I haven't been able to send money to Coinbase in forever but eh. Coinbase is very simple to use, and you should never underestimate the value of convenience. It's one of the things that made Amazon as large as it is today.
Win-win. Less pollution and you spend less.

BMW reaches 100,000 electric vehicle sales target for 2017
If there are differences it'd be (partly) b/c of regulation which the topic is all about. By all means if Uber feel like using licensed drivers, cars etc. as they apply to a specific country, they can keep their ubiquitous app.

For instance: enough cities may not have preferred/dedicated public transport lane which makes significant costs based on waiting times, rather than distance: hence pre-agreed price is an estimate at best.

To me: Uber is a taxi company through and through and if there are local regulation Uber should not be able to circumvent them.

I think the solution is more that "personal data" needs to stop existing.

Either it's private, and then NOBODY has it (i.e. stored on local machines, paper or just memorized), or it's not private, and then it's publicly accessible on a website, or it's confidential and then it's either service-specific data that is deleted as soon as possible (e.g. web searches) or given along with a physically signed contract containing an NDA and penalties for failure to keep secret.

The best way to achieve this is to require, by law, companies to publish on the web anything they learn from customers that is either not strictly part of their interaction with the service or has been stored for more than a month.

This will result in companies no longer asking for things that customers don't want to be public, and deleting interaction data unless the customer wants it kept and published.

Also it will result in a reduction of Google/Facebook/etc.'s monopoly powers since they will have a reduced monopoly on customer data.

They refused to run a misleading (at best) ad campaign. I would ask you, do you consider that Breitbart or Fox News should be obligated to run ads for Bernie Sanders, or Elizabeth Warren? Or should they be allowed to reject ads based on content that the ownership disagrees with?
That's what I thought with the Cash fork, suddenly in addition to an X amount of BTC you also get an Y amount of a new cryptocurrency for free - no financial investment or mining required. Logically what should happen is that the bitcoin price dropped by the exact amount of what bitcoin cash was worth, but in reality that's not true because the market is not rational.

I can imagine Coinbase held out on offering trading - if everyone wanted to cash out then Coinbase suddenly had to come up with millions of dollars that didn't come in through normal purchases of e.g. bitcoin.

IMO, bitcoin cash was generating valuable cryptocurrencies out of thin air.
all the superficial issues you've described simply reinforces how similar new car hailing service are to legacy cabs.

And yet there's nothing you can do about it unless you can prove they did it for personal gain; they operate a service outside the requirements given to e.g. the NYSE, and you the consumer agree to that risk by giving them your money.
> There's also Windows Subsystem for Linux. You can get a full-blown OS like Ubuntu or SuSE that way. Well, that is, sans Linux kernel and sans X11.

You can use X11 applications if you install an X11 agent in Windows such as Xming. But it's not pleasant. I don't know if it's WSL or Xming at fault, but 2D performance in X is pretty abysmal.

I've run applications like gedit and evince on WSL with Xming. It's also fairly annoying that you cannot print from WSL applications, and to my knowledge you cannot access devices either (e.g. USB to serial adapter).

I think it's disingenuous to claim that actual victims of harassment haven't suffered as much as the Duke lacrosse players. As another commenter has pointed out, I'm sure there are cases where the situation has escalated to actual murder to silence the victim. Just as lynching has probably resulted from unfounded accusations in the past. People are awful!

Why do people have to take political sides rather than supporting actual truth and justice, regardless of who "wins" a particular case? It's infuriating.
The research I provided invalidates your claim, not mine. You asserted that Switzerland has a crappy democracy, I pointed out that independent analysis shows that it has one of the best democracies in the world. Therefore your assertion that they need to have full time politicians is bogus. And you know it is given your defensive tone. That there are a small number of marginally better democracies according to the source I gave is _irrelevant_ as is the composition of those democracies with respect to Switzerland. It's your logic that's faulty, not mine.

I _did_ read that research, and I read others. It is _well known_ that Switzerland has one of the world's best and robust democracies. Given how other countries regularly copy[0] what Switzerland does should be a bit of a clue. Look, I have no idea why you would make such a bogus claim, but it is just that, bogus.
