We're not talking about replacing every aspect of a computer with streams. Just the ones that make sense. So, for example, once you're done processing the streams then you might store them as the calculated probabilities.

Let's say you have an image sensor where the 1s in each stream represent arrival of a photon at a particular location. Then do your image processing with the streams. Finally convert to a traditional image format for storage.
IIRC the Ukraine handed all the nuclear weapons based on its territory back to Russia after the Soviet Union broke apart.

The condition was that the boundaries of the Ukraine were respected by the Russians.

So, today the Ukraine is nuke-less. Oh, and Crimea-less.

I partially disagree.

In hiring you need some way to assess whether or not applicants can actually produce useful work. You can't get that from a resume, you can't get that from education background, and you can't get that from talking to people.

Now, you could just ask applicants for a sample of their work (preferably open source) and evaluate them on that.

Coding challenges probably get done instead of that because it is easier for companies to evaluate a single coding challenge than to evaluate a broad range of unique work from different individuals.

As an engineer the employment process gives you an opportunity to evaluate companies in the same way that they have an opportunity to evaluate you. If a company has a sub-par hiring process then you cross them off the list and move on.
The central question is whether EU citizenship is a relationship between individuals and the EU, or whether it is simply an artefact of the treaties between the EU states.

If the former, then the action of a member state deciding to leave the EU could not remove EU citizenship from individuals, any more than one someone holding joint French and British citizenship could have their lawful French citizenship voided against their will by an action of Britain.

If the latter, then EU citizenship is not really a separate concept per se, but merely a term to describe an individual who has national citizenship of an EU state at a particular moment in time. Their individual rights exist through a layer of indirection: individuals derive their EU rights from their national citizenship only.

I believe the latter is closer to how it works in practice, however I can definitely see how such an interpretation could sit uncomfortably with the EU -- if there is no legal relationship between individual EU citizens and the EU, then one could start to doubt whether the EU itself is an entity per se, or if it is just a convenient term we use for the collective effects of the treaties between member states.

If you shoot it down at high altitude, wouldn't winds carry most of the radiation around the planet? Doesn't make it better for humanity but means the country (esp if it's a small one) wouldn't be as affected.

For the US, if a missile coming from the east is shot down over the Atlantic, radiation would probably hit Europe and Russia rather than the US.
IANAL, but I think the theft of property is a tort that isn’t tied to employment.

If someone stole from an employer and the employer gets a judgement or restitution order, garnishment of wages may be part of collection.

Labor law in my state has a strict liability policy for employers and payroll taxes. Restaurants that get seized by state tax authorities are usually for failure to make timely payroll or sales tax payments.

Show HN: Gofaas – Boilerplate Go and Lambda App
Recruiters are part of the trend of outsource everything. Most recruiters are just salesmen on par with the kid who knocks on your front door wanting to sell you magazines or AT&T DSL; they'll tell you any lie you want to hear to get the sale.

The sooner everyone starts refusing to deal with recruiters, the better off we'll all be.
I'll try to elaborate: Let's say we have to reservoirs of baryonic matter, one cool and one hot. If these interact through radiation (electromagnetic forces) both reservoirs eventually get the same Boltzmann distribution and thus temperature. Now we have the same situation but we switch one reservoir to dark matter (the cooler one) and the force between the reservoirs is purely gravitational. Beside the time scale, would that be any different? In a large collection of masses, particles can exchange momentum and energy through gravitation, afair. Therefore one could expect that the two reservoirs equilibrate. I think what differs may be that gravitation is only attractive and contraction may be faster than equilibration. But is this the case if the initial temperature of the constituents is high enough, especially of the baryonic stuff?
To me, the power of it isn't just in dynamic memory but also in that Rust has clear move vs ref vs bit copy vs logical copy (clone) and use-after-free protection.

I doubt this will see much traction. A nuclear powered ramjet will not be a small device (like the ALCM, or the upcoming LRSO), and will not be cheap. If it's large, putting out a lot of heat, it will be detectable. If it can be detected, it can be shot down.

Ask HN: How Did You Find a Job Abroad?
As an American looking to move overseas, I'm a bit overwhelmed by the seemingly infinite possibilities and the lack of curation of resources.

Looking for insights from people who have already been through this. Especially if you didn't already have a professional network at your intended destination, how did you start?

Did you find and contact specific companies? Apply to openings on job boards? Find recruiters? Something else?

If you went the recruiter route, how did you locate them and select the ones worth working with?
I agree a little that experience can't be discounted, and a lot that trust can't be.

That being said, it's all pointless if they don't have drive. And the one-two punch of hesitation of doing sales combined with initially only wanting to work a couple days a week tells me that this individual is definitely not ready to commit. I think that can be a trap especially with more experienced people - it's easy for the startup to be something speculative that they take a wait and see approach with than something that is their sole professional focus.

My most productive days were when I was a math undergraduate. I would work pretty much all the time for weeks. This was before internet invaded our lives. I was also very productive the last few weeks before I had to submit my PhD thesis. No particular technique, just the stress of deadlines or studying in a competitive environnement.

Occasionally, I work non-stop for a few days on some programming projects, but I wouldn't consider myself productive. I get very excited and obsessed by the coding but I'm not very efficient, in the sense I tend to code more than I think and it's counter productive.
Cruise missiles fly very, very low. No chance of ground-based radar noticing them for long enough to shoot anything (milliseconds as they streak overhead). So space-based, or some pursuit missile seems like the only chance of shooting them down.

Not nearly enough people in the hiring chain understand the importance of this.

Whether an employee can get along with co-workers is probably by far the most important metric in most jobs, yet it's mostly ignored because it's hard to test for. I guess companies hope they'll figure out if someone's a bad fit while they're still in a probationary period or something.

The most skilled worker in their field is useless if they can't cooperate and communicate effectively with others.

With the loyalty, willingness to learn and work ethic you can usually expect from an initially lower-skilled employee (along with lower wages/cost), a little training could turn them into a hugely valuable team member in fairly short order if a company makes an effort to ramp them up properly. Giving more of these people a shot will dramatically increase your odds of finding team members who work together well and become greater than the sum of their parts.

This idea of ignoring everyone who doesn't fit a ridiculously narrow criteria causes a whole lot of missed opportunities across the board. You end up hiring a bunch of elites-on-paper all trying to outmaneuver each other into the most possible money who will be gone in 2-3 years, while 'less attractive' candidates who would actually care about the work and tend to stick around get tossed in the garbage without even being seen.

I was riding my bicycle a lot at the time trying to figure out a availability solution with Postgres. I'd ride my bicycle (40km) 24 miles one-way to work -- each leg took a little less than 1.5 hours. I really only coded and prototyped about 3 hours / day. The 3 hours I spent at a keyboard were incredibly productive. The time on my bicycle allowed me to digest information and let my brain relax. By the time I sat down at a computer each day, I knew exactly what I was going to code or test. I'd test and have information. Then, the bike ride home would be thinking about the results. I was proud of the outcome: https://github.com/compose/governor
Might not be exactly what you're looking for but I recommend two books: "Peak" by Eric Anderson and "Mastery" by Robert Greene. Both of these books are really about getting to the top of your field but are both directly centered around how we learn. Mastery takes more of a macro approach to becoming the best by providing lots of real world anecdotal stories (like that of Leonardo Divinci, and Paul Graham) Peak goes a little bit deeper on the science of how we learn if I remember correctly, but both are definitely worth a read.

In general tools for constraining hardware complexity like namespaces and encapsulation are a lot less important for the project sizes where you're typically working with embedded systems. For the rest they mostly provide some benefit but that's offset by the danger of a move to a much, much larger and more complicated language in an environment where many people writing code are primarily EEs and most C++ answers they Google will provide solutions inappropriate for embedded development. And I say this as someone who was one of those EEs when he started out.

> If it's a nuclear ramjet SLAM, while you could in principle shoot it down, if it's anywhere near your territory when you do so, it's pretty much as bad as not shooting it down, as both result in radioactivity spread over a large area.

It's a lot worse to have the on-target thermonuclear detonation at the end, so, no, it's not “pretty much as bad” to shoot it down. It's still bad, sure, but it's a huge difference in how bad.

But, yes, it does reduce the utility of missile defense, and is exactly the kind of thing that opponents of Bush’s decision to withdraw from the ABM Treaty were worried about encouraging.
