Yes, and many other things can change as well. What was the point exactly?

Please note that I said "standard" workday, implying that workday is in fact a thing that can change but tends to be roughly standardised in most places.
Rocket Internet companies? Trust me, you definitely do NOT want to work there.
$1600/ft seems shockingly high for commercial real estate, even in New York. Just because you have lots of money (that theoretically belongs to your shareholders) doesn’t mean you should overpay.
Quite a bit of the provided possible outcome rests on likelihood of certain genetic factors and, relative size of snake population, and how quickly cane toads spread.

The actual values of these variables (and a few more I'm sure) can change whether one population dies out or not and how quickly. Just because evolution provides a solution to the general problem, doesn't mean there's a solution that saves the population when the specific problem is looked at in detail. Invasive species cause local extinctions all the time.
I've pretty much dumped Twitter for Mastodon. My mental health couldn't keep up with the air of constant outrage on Twitter.
The obvious solution to the problem described there is the following:

You: "Big Brother, call Uncle Steve."

Big Brother: "I can't let you do that; Uncle Steve is sleeping right now. I will tell him when he gets up. I suggest passing the time with Praised be Our Glorious Overlords. Your uncle enjoyed it very much."

Then it doesn't even matter whether there are time zones or not.
I'm a bit allergic to proclamations of C++ obsolescence but to be honest I'm finding myself using it less and less myself. Not sure I agree OS-less micros are best done with plain C, though. A lot of programmers are put off by the latest C++ developments but it's very possible to use C++ to great advantage even in tiny environments. You just have to really know what you're doing.
Cabify in Madrid is definitely one two watch! Recently acquired unicorn status and experiencing an exponential growth rate, last year alone the company grew by 500%! ;-) Also imo, they pay well and offer great challenges to work on.
Why not just check the inner exception type instead of the contents? This seems more accurate than relying on the contents to contain a specific string.

Good perspective! I hear you on people screaming and freaking out about climate, we have too many of those already.

That’s part of the inspiration for Carbon Doomsday. The skulls escalate it more to a Monty-python type of violence and humor. Tis but a scratch!

C is just some readable assembly. If you tell a computer to crash into a wall, it will crash into a wall. That is the best lesson you can teach a student.

It is great to have a language that teaches you to write better code. Failure is a good teacher too.

If you tell a student to follow some rules without telling him why those rules exist, it is not always a good idea.

It is an awesome idea to have the safest code, but not necessarily a good idea to teach programming using safety rules.
I've gotten Cython-like speeds for non-parallelized code in a gradient descent task. I haven't been able to achieve the same speed as parallelized Cython code in Julia using either pmap or @parallel though.

I wouldn't say it's a fast Python.

Google already occupies the majority of the space above the market - at least 3 full floors (As of a couple years ago). It's not much of a change for any New Yorkers except that they tend not to renew leases for other office space tenants.

Although, they're more than welcome to (quickly) renovate it and make the corridor wider...
Well, human conveniences tend to be convenient to humans. So I guess that's why we don't get rid of timezones.
The "Today's Moments" section is... let's just say it's far from universal in its appeal and curation.
ooo good point! Will fix. Thanks!
I live in Boulder and don't share this sentiment whatsoever. Google already has a large campus here and they're expanding into an area that frankly needed to be renovated anyway. Their entire new + old complex is supposed to house ~2,000 employees. If adding 1.5k employees and a new building is "largely ruining Boulder" in your eyes you should see a doctor.
Right. To rephrase, you want to hijack a discussion of permafrost mercury in order to whine about criticism of your views on racial demography.

Thanks for playing.

I did, and it's just longer out of context videos that cut off at convenient points:

> Journalist: "Would you say the algorithms block liberal or conservative users?"

> Engineer: "I would say the majority of it are for Republicans, because they are all from Russia and wanted Trump to win"

> Journalist: "So you would mostly just get rid of Conservatives?"

> Engineer: "Yes"

> Immediate cut.

Woah, what a compelling argument. The guy is saying they are using machine learning to block Russian bots masquerading as American conservatives that are influencing the narrative in favor of Trump (that totally don't exist btw because we love Russia now and they would never attempt to meddle in any other countries elections). The video attempts to twist that into him saying they block conservatives.

Pitching in that at Klarna you get 30 days off (so +5 from the minimum 25).

So far a very good company to work for, very smooth relocation process from Brazil, decent to good pay and quite often I work only between 9-16 or 9-15, no one bats an eye as long as I'm being productive and delivering what's needed.
I live in the Netherlands and it's already too hot on many summer days, it's probably worse farther down south.

In my experience, the number of really hot summer days has increased a lot in the last decade or so, and it's probably going to get worse, not better.
As someone who works for a company that works with the DoD, the push mentioned in the second to last paragraph is making it's way down the chain and we are seeing a greater acceptance of cloud tech. There isn't widespread adoption yet but they are open to projects moving in that direction.

It's not shockingly high by a long shot. Paying 1.6M for a 1000 sq ft condo in that area is totally feasible.
If possible, you may want to add in alternative views with the carbon budget. There's a lot of chicanery with the IPCC scenarios and negative emissions technologies that don't exist yet. It gives context to what the ppm means in terms of the point-of-no-return that we're facing alarmingly soon. The site looks really promising, though!

I'd encourage you to just get on with your lives!

Before you jump all over me understand that I thoroughly loved writing Clojure back in 2013 timeframe and I did some real projects with it and they were great. It was awesome and what I was born to do.

Reality set in soon after. Despite all the hyping by Rich Hickey, Neal Ford and others, the language just hasn't gone anywhere. It is what it is and I'm sorry but it's 2018 and it's done. And Groovy is done. It's just not worth dying on that hill. Maybe go halfway and get some support behind Kotlin if you really want to see jobs available using something besides Vanilla Java 8.
Understanding Decentralized Exchanges
The UK did try this once. In the winters of 1968-69 and 1969-70, the clocks were kept on summer time. It wasn't all that popular, apparently because it meant spending such a long time in the dark on winter mornings, especially in the north and Scotland. My mother remembers hating it.
That sounds very likely, and having the USAF do the job right, while a bit of negative PR, is better than losing lives.

Edit: Good points about PR, I missed that.

And you have the opposite thing with the war on drugs: https://edition.cnn.com/2016/03/23/politics/john-ehrlichman-...

> "You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities," Ehrlichman said. "We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."
This. When "left-pad" messes up some Facebook-for-dogs startup, that's bad. When "left-pad" messes up the social security system, the army, etc., that's really really bad.

We already use colour schemes tuned to our perception. They naturally converge on them.

It all depends on how an engine fails. A failure to provide thrust is survivable with more engines. But a vulnerability that causes a fuel line to go boom, taking out the whole rocket, is made more likely by having more engines.
Thank you so much for sharing this. This, and When Worlds Collide, are some of the most touching pieces I've ever read.

Just FYI as noted above, 0.7 is the harbinger of 1.0. It is functionally equivalent to 1.0 except deprecation warning, serving essentially as a migration version. So while not out yet, 1.0 is around the corner!
You are also dealing with low volume fabrication which means setup and tooling costs don't amortize across many components. I wouldn't be surprised if they cost $1M each.
I agree. I prefer daylight time to standard time. But it's the time change that really irritates me.

I ran Fedora on a ProBook 4320s (Intel GPU) in 2011-2015, no problems. The only inconvenience was the WiFi/BT adapter (Ralink, I think), which had out-of-tree drivers; I had to rebuild the interface after kernel updates. But a year or so later they added a driver in the kernel.

I'm an American living in Russia. Russia got rid of daylight savings time in 2014. [1]. I love, it's great.

One of the most confusing part of daylight savings time is that the dates that it occurs on vary between countries. Trying to figure out how to get hold of people back in the states at an agreed-upon time was a huge PITA.

Any chance you can find a google street view link for this?
You don't need to learn Java before you learn Kotlin. As you may notice in your paraphrasing, it doesn't say you need to, it says it's simple if you know Java already.

More concretely, what you'll find is that a lot of tutorials and books will likely assume some familiarity with Java. Not necessarily to a point that you can't learn, but more in regards to what they emphasise. For example, they'll likely talk about nullability and Kotlin's approach to it. This makes a lot of sense if you've come from Java but maybe less if you've come from a language that doesn't have nulls.

Having said that, I would expect that, although learning Kotlin should be fine, once you start developing in it, you'll soon find that you'll need to have some familiarity with Java. The reason is that a big selling point of Kotlin is its easy integration with Java. As a consequence, you'll probably find that the libraries you'll want, beyond the basics, won't have been ported to Kotlin. As there's not much call for this.

Unfortunately, I can't recommend a book for non-Java developers as I don't know any Kotlin developers who weren't Java developers first!

Hard2find's suit against Apple and Amazon was dismissed with prejudice and that decision was confirmed on appeal.
This was true when I left two months ago, but the challenge, for us anyway, was how we extend our security boundary to encompass cloud technology without breaking the bank. Anything managed at levels higher up and offered as a "service" typically proved to be stringent to operate inside of.

NVC changed my life! It's helped me gracefully navigate little relationship difficulties that could have otherwise ballooned into moments of sabotage.

Here's how I've internalized the NVC formula:

1. Identify what has happened in an objective way, e.g. "we got in a car accident" or "my partner said I don't care". Be honest, and don't inject any judgement. Just lay out the situation.

2. Describe how you felt and how you feel. Use actual feeling words: stating "I felt manipulated" is actually a judgement, not a feeling. Saying "I feel unheard" is a judgement. Avoid these kinds of judgements guised as feelings at all costs. Learn to catch them in your sleep. The NVC book has two pages of true feeling words, like "anxious", "uncertain" and "joyful". There are times when I've sat there with a notebook looking at these pages and been brought to tears. In the heat of a difficult moment, having a page full of feeling words is really helpful.

3. Use your feelings to discover your basic needs that are or are not being met. The idea is that a difficult feeling springs from a basic need going unfulfilled, whereas positive feelings arise when basic needs are met. Connect the dots.

4. Make your request(s). If you've discovered some unfulfilled needs, figure out what could be done to meet them. Now you're ready to make a specific request, rather than a vague one wrapped up in unexpressed emotion and judgement! This step is about helping yourself and/or someone else understand how to support your needs in understandable, concrete ways.
I'm largely familiar with the DOS -> Win2K period, and have made little use of Microsoft operating systems since.

Windows 3, 95, NT, and 2K each saw significant changes in where and how major system functionality was presented.

During the same period I was using numerous Unix and Linux platforms (and still do). Those have largely seen far less substantive change at the shell and system level, with a few notable exceptions.

I'm not discussing Linux GUIs, which have been all over the goddamned map. I've used twm, fvwm, fvwm2, VUE, CDE, WindowMaker (my preferred option), GNOME and KDE through multiple generations, Enlightenment, various of the 'boxes (black, open, flux, ...), ion, xfce4, ... And those are the ones I've trialed to some significant extent. I've at least fired up and looked at virtually all the options mentioned on the XWinMan page: http://www.xwinman.org/

There are several fairly central components which have changed fairly markedly. The shift from telnet to ssh, multiple iterations of firewalling, various scripting languages of preference (bash, perl, python, an oddment of others), mailers (sendmail, qmail, anything reasonably sane, mostly exim and/or postfix now), and of course, the whole init replacement clusterfuck.

But the notional concepts of files, filesystem, shell, utilities, pipes, etc., has remained consistent, and even across several utility / server replacements (particularly ssh and mailers), command-level compatibility has been preserved to a remarkable extent with previous options (e.g., rsh and sendmail syntax).

If Microsoft can only be relied on for five-year stints of "having learnt this lesson" then they have not learnt this lesson.

Practical, unsexy steps to become a millionaire
I was a GS-15 (Step 5) at 18F based in SF, so near the pay cap when you factor in the location adjustment (the government considers the Bay Area the most expensive region in the nation).

Pay was about similar to Twitter (not counting sizable stock based compensation and bonuses, so of course a big pay cut all in all). Pay was significantly better than startups. When I worked at Google I was leveled quite low, so the comparison wouldn't be fair.

Zero perks (no free coffee, etc). Retirements benefits only kick in after 3 years of government service.

I definitely didn't join 18F for money. I was in for the mission and potential impact. I also liked the idea of being able to move around the country if necessary while keeping the same job.
wait so then why can information not travel faster than the speed of light, which is a value that depends upon time existing - you can't measure signals/information propagation at faster than c; c is in the form of dx/dt, even if you do that trick where you just set c=1, right?; ..is there no dt?
Great suggestion, thanks! We will expand upon that in our Data Sources section, and also improve the labeling on the graph.
