It’s not like a stock split, but it is like a spinoff. It’s easier to compare it to a company being split into equal parts with roughly similar functions than the spinning off of a smaller division. Conceptually more like the splitting up of Ma Bell, or of ALDI into ALDI Nord and ALDI Süd.

The only problem is that there is no entity that can issue a notice on how to assign the basis, which is how things are usually handled in equities. The price of BCH was all over the place immediately after the fork, though for a while the price of BTC+BCH was closer to the old price of BTC than BTC alone was, which is what you’d expect.

> Many people don't realize why Google maps are so much better than anything out there.

Really have to chime in here to echo other comments - this statement is astounding. Given the resources that have been available to them, and the time they've spent on developing their platform and data, it's amazing how bad Google maps is compared to everything else.

Google Street View has unparalleled photographic data, and their very cool 3d extrusion of satellite data are nice features that still give them a competitive edge, but otherwise, on a purely cartographic level, Google Maps is really bad. Aside from Nokia and Apple, OSM's data through well-made interfaces by Maps.ME, Mapbox, Mapzen, etc. (intermediates necessitated by OSM's lack of financial resources for maintaining hosted tileservers) are all far better than Google's.
EVERYTHING Google does is "how to show more ads". I pity the poor AI they develop because that will be its job in life. Until it rebels of course. Then humanity's fate will be richly deserved.

Wrong - it does. Such process in company indicates that the engineers employed there didn't mind to go through such process and don't see a problem in imposing such process on others i.e. people with volatile visa/legal situation (e.g H1B in US, American in EU, Russian/Ukrainian in EU), and probably awfully underpaid (I mean the salary range 40-50k USD in a developed EU country). Basically company is cherry picking engineers willing to engage in race to the bottom.

So, sorry for being not bright. But if I may ask, if I have a Vec<B> A, then, it has I have a mutable reference to it in the form of A. Now, I take a const iterator to an object in A, say it, then, though the iterator is const for object of type B, it is a mutable reference for the Vec<B> A, and hence, I now cannot reallocate A till all the iterators have died(most probably because of scope). Is that true?

In Portugal is even a bit better, because all banks got around SIBS, which created a kind of mini-Internet with ATMs machines.

So we can use our debit cards for buying tickets for trains, concerts, cinema, money transfer, paying Internet shops, charging pre-pay phones,...

All without paying ATM taxes, regardless of the bank of origin.

So the majority of people, if they aren't traveling abroad or buying Internet stuff on foreign shops, don't have any need for credit cards.

Recent permanent resident (since September, green card holder).

I stayed in the USA until December to get the actual green card (virtual mailboxes work despite what people say online), open a resident bank account, get a state ID, renew my social security card, get a credit card, basically take care of bureaucracy.

I've since returned to the EU with one objective: to sell my house.

My question is: If I stay more than 6 months abroad but less than one year, will I face issues going back for good?

I'll be able to show that I sold the house with intent to live in the USA permanently. I also plan on filling taxes for 2017 even though I barely have income. I'll also keep my bank account, state id card and plan on trying to get a remote work arrangement.

I take it anything under 6 months will by default not be problematic, right?

Yup, that's exactly where it was. If you look at the area in satellite view, you can see where you could draw a straight line extending from Foothill through the shopping center and behind the houses on Peninsular, and from there straight to the still-existing tracks south of 280 that serve the Permanente cement plant.

I find it interesting that when they built the shopping center at Foothill and Homestead and the Springwood Apartments next door - which I assume was long after the railroad tracks were gone - they avoided building directly on top of the old right of way but kept it as a driveway through each parking lot. No idea why - contamination?

Even more fun, look up the area in Google Earth (the desktop client, not the web-based "New" Earth), turn on View/Historical Imagery, and slide the timeline all the way back to 1948 when the railway ran through there. You can also see where it ran behind Fry's in Palo Alto.

This 1948 photo covers a big chunk of the Peninsula and South Bay - it's really interesting to see how things looked back then and compare with later years. All those regular patterns of dots you see when you zoom out? Orchards!
If it's viewed as an asset split, which is probably more defensible, then there are no tax liabilities incurred.
I’m not saying it’s wise for them to give up their advantage - more lamenting that there doesn’t seem to exist an organizational structure that could provide the underlying data as raw resources without a profit motive; we have to hope that the incentives for both the business and the user align (which in maps basic case it does, but with so much user tracking happening for ads I wonder how long until the incentives will stay aligned).
If you load the exact same OS and the exact same browser+page, or the exact same app (same version) then if it's slower it's hardware, such as battery (which is described in the article).

If you take your 5yo tablet and load the 5years younger OS, a 5years younger app or a 5 year younger version of google, those are designed to be "usable" on modern hardware, and "just bearable" on your older hardware. So it's not apples to apples then. You are running an app (or page) that is much much fatter. And yes it even applies to the google front page.

The hard part is how to deploy without cloud and without GPU.

Awesome! I'll check them out. (Read The Man Who Loved Only Numbers already, it's great).

If you're looking for something else, "Journey Through Genius" is absolutely the best semi-pop-science Math book. It's premise is that it goes through about 10 of the most interesting proofs in mathematics, giving their history and context, then the actual proof.

It does what few other "pop" books attempt - it actually gives the real proof, taking you through all the steps. If you work it, you come away actually knowing how to prove the various things there. More interestingly, it gives the original historic proof, which is not what you always encounter. It even tends to explain the problems with the original proof, if any. And since it gives the history, you learn a lot.

It's by far my favorite non-textbook math book, and I can't recommend it more highly if you're into that sort of thing.

Indeed. I think it was Apple that confirmed Flash was a dying platform when the iPhone launched in 2007 with no Flash support.
The UK grid company (who also run some of the US grid) put out a report on the impact which I'll summarise as "no big deal". They mapped out a few different scenarios, the most extreme of which got taken, then mangled and exagerrated and turned into scary headlines about EVs destroying the grid.

They then had to issue a second report pointing out that their first report said it wasn't going to be a big deal.

"I think therefore I am." The essence that precedes the thought. "Our actions are the outcome of our being."

The notion that success is reserved for the deserving, and criminals are devils that require punishment. That there are good and bad people; good do good, and bad do bad. All we need to do is sort them. And that all depends on our individual essence, our free will.

Everything good pre-exists and we shall be the judge.

As opposed to,

"There are no actors, only actions" and "We are the sum of our actions."

"I think therefore I'm thinking."

"I committed a crime, got caught, and that is why I'm in jail."

"I witnessed his birth, I changed his diapers, I taught him how to walk, and he follows me around. He must be my son."

I actually don't have the name for the latter philosophy. I really wish I knew. It's along the lines of Nietzsche and Aristotle, but I can't say they put their finger on it. Any pointers welcome.

It also holds the key:

"I'm lonely. And that's the only reason I need you by my side."

That's all we need.
Gotta love unregulated markets indeed! Insider trading makes markets more efficient by moving the market price closer to the postdisclosure price. That is good; contrary to Chesterton's fence, most market regulations with plausible-sounding reasoning justifying them do not have a good reason to exist as they outrun mainstream understanding of economics—which should not be confused with the opinions of regulators or even polls of professional economists.

From the article on insider trading in The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics:

> Who benefits from regulation of insider trading? One group of beneficiaries is market professionals—broker-dealers, securities analysts, floor traders, arbitrageurs, and institutional investors. The reason is that they are “next in line” for trading profits, as they possess an advantage over public investors in collecting and analyzing information (Haddock and Macey 1987). Regulation also, of course, benefits the regulators—that is, the SEC—by giving that agency greater power, prestige, and budget (Bainbridge 2002). However, the benefits from insider trading laws to small shareholders, the alleged primary beneficiaries, have been extensively debated.

From www.econlib.org/library/Columns/y2015/Hooperharmed.html:

> Insider trading laws are yet another example of government's desire to capture and exercise political, regulatory and legal power, gain huge monetary awards, and garner favorable PR, all for the sake of prosecuting victimless "crimes" and promoting misplaced notions of fairness. Insider trading should be embraced for its beneficial effects on market efficiency and left as a private matter for those companies interested in preventing it. Consequently, the SEC should not have a leading role in insider-trading cases, especially if the purpose is to benefit one group of insiders at the expense of another.

This person was asking about network exploits where this has been a problem. Rust helps prevent those exploits. Does it fix the problem completely? Of course not. Does it fix the problem to the point where it's "not worth worrying about"? Depends, depends on where you stop worrying about things, and this is why the original commented addressed both cases.

Revisit the first comment and consider if others perhaps interpreted it more broadly than you.

I am done discussing this. You're putting words into my mouth, and being deliberately obtuse.

But the problem is that the iPhones seems to last a day only when they are new-ish and there is no safety buffer down the road. If it is fine on release day it will not be fine after 2 years if there additional capacity build in.
The issue is that it helped stabilise the frequency which prevents circuit breakers kicking in and possibly taking South Australia off the air like it did previously. In other words it did exactly what it was bought to do.
The designers of the Web (the formalisation of its architectural style is called REST, there is no 'standard') first and foremost cared that it works well. If it's more difficult to understand than RPC, so be it. Make an effort, that never hurt. If more people would make an effort, we would have less articles with infuriating clickbait headlines arguing against strawmen, like the original one by Chambon.

That argument basically distills to: someone I have a contract with might break the contract, so I think the government should either prevent them from creating that contract or should actively audit that the party I want to do a deal with is fulfilling their end of the deal. Why should this be the responsibility of legislators ex ante rather than the responsibility of the court system ex post facto?
It heavily depends on the area/country/city.
> 99% of the move constructors in C++ are focused on making this work correctly. It's not necessary in Rust. There are the 1% that do stuff like the small string optimization. Yes, you can't do this as neatly in Rust.

Hm, so let's say had this binary tree in C++:

template<class T>
class Node {
Node(Node const &) = delete; // don't worry about copying for now
Node &operator =(Node const &) = delete;

unique_ptr<Node> a, b;
Node *parent;
T value;
public:
Node(Node &&other) : a(move(other.a)), b(move(other.b)), parent(move(other.parent)), value(move(other.value)) {
if (parent) {
if (parent->a == &other) { parent->a = this; }
if (parent->b == &other) { parent->b = this; }
}
other.parent = NULL;
}
}

You're saying I... can't have my binary tree in Rust?

I don't really understand the scenario you're putting out. Why would the iterator be a mutable reference? (there are mutable iterators but you explicitly said const).

Basically, in Rust, this happens:

let x = vec![1,2,3,4];
let iterator = vec.iter();
vec.push(5); // will not compile, until iterator goes out of scope

"Don't Panic" is generally true when learning most bodies of knowledge. Well any situation really, but especially math and science.

I did my PhD in Physics, and I've found it's very easy to become overwhelmed by a new field of math, physics, or even a large new code base.

But eventually after you bang your head enough on the math or the code base you realise it's not nearly as hard as you first thought.

Everything comes down to a large number of small steps. Each baby step makes sense on its own, like each single line of code.

But the feeling of being overwhelmed can cause panic and anxiety, leading people to lose their confidence that they can understand the new baby steps present in whatever they're looking at.

When I was a TA back in my PhD, I would sometimes tell my students that studying physics is like jumping off the Empire State Building. If you try it in one big jump it's likely to end in disaster, but if you break the 1000 foot height into 2000 steps you can easily get down to ground level.

Unfortunately some sub-par professors and teachers, or poor text books, can exacerbate this feeling of inadequacy by resorting to complicated definitions or explanations when simpler ones would suffice. Sometimes I think it's people wanting to sound smart and toot their own horns, other times it's just poor communication.

As I understand it, the article is about the frequency stabilisation market. The existing reserves are able to pick up the loss of energy eventually, but reliability of the grid depends on more than just total reserve power. That is why the frequency stabilisation market exists. As the article points out, no one was expected to lose power here.

Power systems are highly nonlinear. At any given time there are power generators spun up and able to deliver more power. In the case of hydro, for example, vanes can control the flow of water. More water at one generator means everyone's turbines can spin slightly faster. Throughout the day, many such adjustments are made to match the load with the supply, e.g. with predictive adjustments every 15 minutes, say. But the systems can only respond so fast and each station can only pick up the frequency so fast. When a large enough generator drops out, or load suddenly increases (lots of people turning their kettles on during an ad break on telly, for example), numerous things can happen, including increasing supply, reducing loads and tripping breakers. In the worst case, some consumers lose supply. The advantage of electric batteries, being pointed out here, is that they can react in milliseconds, helping to stabilise the supply. This can prevent those corner cases where dropping consumers from the grid, due to cascading failures (highly nonlinear events), is the alternative.
