Like I've said if you are small enough to avoid any interest, it's ok - but selling electronic services to EU residents without VAT in the EU is not legal.

Overall VAT is taxation on the consumption, the consumption is within the EU member state, the state receives the tax.

Summary:

When US companies encounter European VAT: When doing business in the territory of the EU a company will deal with VAT: when selling something, the company will have to charge the customer with VAT... [0]

Also: The EU’s VAT law considers everything that is not a good (generally a tangible property) as a service. Services can include everything from the licensing for intellectual property to downloadable software to consulting – to name but a few examples. The VAT requirements for services depend on the final customer

I am a Nix user, but one advantage that Bazel has is that it can do more fine-grained incremental rebuilding (nix as commonly used can only do per-project rebuilds). Also while there is some overlap, Nix usually relies on language-specific package managers to perform the actual building, whereas bazel handles that itself. Nix is more of a packaging tool, whereas bazel is a build tool.

Note the map at right (Wikipedia): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Pole - while the South Pole is on the Antarctic continent, it's all floating ice up north, even though it's usually several meters thick. While historically the arctic polar expeditions used sleds, nowadays people mostly sail there - either in submarines, or on icebreakers.

(Apparently Russians tend to float a temporary station nearby, but no permanent bases - as the ice is always moving: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barneo )

The iPhone hacks by their nature require having custody of the physical cell phone for an extended period of time. As far as I know, the government isn’t stealing peoples iPhones to search them.
I disagree. I don't want a large company controlling most of the IPFS nodes.
The problem isn't the New York Times though. If someone has been profiled or otherwise written about repeatedly in the NYT, they're probably notable at some level. The issue is mentions in obscure books and local newspapers tend to trump even a significant online presence.

I'm not sure what the best answer is either. The closest I've seen is to overlay a more inclusionist Wikipedia with some sort of crowdsourced reputation/quality moderation system. That can be gamed too of course but something along those lines may be the best approach.

I’ll be 100% honest even though it might not be applicable for you:

One of the most valuable things I look for is someone who has already worked remotely.

From my personal point of view not everyone is suited to doing remote work.

* Some people cannot work up the motivation to get stuff done when the bar for others realizing they are slacking off is a lot higher.

* Some people realize they miss the meatspace interaction and decide to quit after three months which you mostly spent ramping them up, so not quite their full potential.

* And some others realize they cannot really focus at home for a plethora of reasons.

Anyway, hiring someone with no remote experience always feels like a risk. Perhaps you could find a way to assuage those concerns, and improve your chances that way.
A comprehensive reading list on self-driving electronics?
I want to build a self-driving car, actually to mod a current car to have self-driving capability.

I'm from an AI (artificial intelligence, in case) background, I can do most of the control on simulated environment, like using computer vision to recognize lanes, road signs, .etc then produce steering angle for the driving wheel in real-time.

However I don't know how to drive by wire, physically (or should I say electronically). Is there a compiled list somewhere I can teach myself on that? Say, which controller do I look for? how to connect it to my Jetson board?

And pardon me if the question is too vague/broad, but I need an entry point.

Thanks

I agree with you. I should've been more specific: it's a bad thing for DTube if they want to be the new Youtube. If they're fine staying small and catering to a specific niche then sure, that's not necessarily a problem.

That being said I browsed a bit through d.tube since my earlier comment and unlike the parent I don't see that much "controversial" content. However I don't see a lot of quality videos I'd be interested in either... Mostly vlogs and cryptocurrency-related videos.

These sorts of tools are definitely useful, especially for those that otherwise wouldn't have access to music instruction. But there would be huge pieces missing: teaching musicianship (perfect accuracy is a bad thing), finding repertoire to engage the student, arranging performance opportunities...

Basically, I think these tools replace bad piano teachers. Of course, there are a lot of bad piano teachers out there (a large percentage of all teachers, I'm sure), so I'm not saying that this sort of thing doesn't have value in increasing access.

Disclaimer: I might be a bit biased, since I have a music degree, have taken ~15 years of piano/organ lessons, and am also married to a piano teacher.

Can Nix build incrementally? One random collection of notes I just dug up says that it rebuilds packages from scratch on minor changes. It seems like Nix is addressing a different problem.
Maybe so, but i did prefaced my comment with "Completely anecdotal"

I can only speak for a sample size of 3 people out of 40.
I don't know anything about the person in question, but any "profit" number is going to have to be fictitious anyway. Ideally, you make as little profit as possible so that you avoid paying taxes. You want your money working for you rather than going to the government (or sitting in a bank account). This is one of the nice aspects of taxes and tax avoidance -- it provides incentives for companies to continue investing. Anyway, the point is the person could give an impressive sounding number (indicating that they are bad at managing money) or they could give a tiny (or even negative) number. It's kind of lose-lose.

But I agree with you -- anybody posting "I'm making $X/month doing something that seems easy" is usually trying to sell you a book/workshop/seminar (which is where they make their real money).

> Because we found no better analogy, we named them "holes"

Are you sure about that? This sounds specious. This requires knowing who named them and why. It sounds like a logical explanation, but history and human events don't follow logic and can't be derived.

> We talk about [...] "light cannot escape the black hole"

So, light not escaping certain "dark stars" was observed and was a concept before "black hole" was a term. "Dark stars" is one term they were called before the term "black hole".

http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/about-us/86-the-universe/bl...

Wikipedia says the name black hole was adopted because it was catchy, which is not because of the value of the analogy. "Dark star" might be a better analogy, and it existed before black hole.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole#Etymology

Having said that, black holes are actually black, and they are literally gravity holes in space. A hole in the ground on earth is only a hole because of gravity, it's a thing you can fall into. Because black holes are things you can fall into if you get too close, because it's doing the exact same thing as a hole in the ground, I'd argue that black hole is not a very good example of a cognitive metaphor.

Note also that the best way to demonstrate the intuitive effect of gravity is to show how it acts like a hole. A black hole visualized the same way is a very, very deep pit.

Honestly a lot of the Dtube content now feels like early youtube content, only the cameras are better.
So you are really asking two questions:

How can I improve my chance of being hired?

And, if I am hired, how can I improve my chance of success at the company.

I will defer answering question #1 to folks who have hired plenty of remote devs (I have only hired a few).

For question #2, I have a few things to say, based on my experience as a remote developer and observations of others. Many of these are predicated on working for a company where remote work is not normal.

1. Set expectations. This will be a conversation between you and your manager. Depending on how experienced the manager is, you may or may not be driving the conversation. But have it either way. This will include things like:

How is status communicated?

Are there core hours of availability I need to keep?

What are the best tools to use fot asynchronous and synchronous communication?

Can we set up a regular meeting to check in about my remote work performance?

2. Be proactive. Proactive about communication. About your work. About making sure your manager or lead knows what you have done and are doing. Don't let any needed question go unanswered.

3. Perform above average, at least for the first 6 months. This is important when starting any job, but especially when you aren't there. This means being on time to every meeting, going above and beyond in helping other team members and in general bringing your A game. This will pay dividends when your situation comes up in future management discussions.

4. Be prepared to ask a lot of questions. Discussions will happen without you, and you need to be able to confidently ask how decisions were arrived at. If possible, document how the decisions were arrived st (Google docs, slack). This discipline will benefit everyone, but is easy to slack on when everyone is onsite.

5. Be prepared to have a slower career trajectory. Even for remote friendly companies, management is typically a onsite function (unless the company is 100% remote, of course).

I love my remote commute (roll out of bed, walk a few feet to the office). Good luck!

> Only 17.47% (as of 26 February 2018) of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women:

Wikipedia being a tertiary source may, through unbiased processes, simply be reflecting bias in the secondary sources. Biographies of pre-modern women are far less common than of their male contemporaries, IME; that's less true of my modern and especially extremely current figures, but Wikipedia isn't exclusively focused on current figures.
That's quite a bit of money - just out of curiosity, what do you sell if you don't mind me asking? I personally click normal links and haven't seen an ad on google in years, as I have been a long time user of ublock origin and a different content blocker on mobile since ios9. I think I'm in a decent-sized and growing population in that regard. And as for your guarantee, I'd bet that at least 10% of people who use google don't see ads at all because they use adblock of some form, so maybe 90% of the people who see the ads click those links, but not 90% of all searchers. Does google report the searches that went without an ad displayed?

Me neither. I don't think synthesia is even remotely comparable in usefulness to a partition. It's really hard to read ahead (without the keyboard reference it seems really hard to identify which note is which) and estimating note duration from the note length is not as easy as just looking at the note. I always thought it was more of a gimmick (when talking about reading piano specifically, I assume it's more useful when creating music) than something actually useful.

Because the author and the researchers have not tried living in the tropics near the equator before. Here in Singapore, if you don't turn on the air-con, the heat and humidity acts as a blanket. This is not an exaggeration. Most of the people I know don't use blankets unless the AC is turned on.

The fact that the temperature seldom go below 27 degrees at night also helps.

If people are creating software that burns fossil fuels without thinking about the whys wouldn't it be a good thing to have a law that regulates how we use electricity? Shouldn't an EU regulator have input on whether you can release your new blockchain app? You should be fine if its purpose falls into one of the covered categories...

Sure, computers can be very helpful to master certain skills like learning to read music or maybe mastering some aspect of technique. But to decompose music into aspects like tone, pace and so on is a huge oversimplification. And by learning to play piano I assume one want's to play music. Playing piano again in my view is about hearing, you have to play it in mind, make it sing, and only then bring that to the instrument. The instrument is just a tool.
That % isn't really surprising considering the patriarchal history of the world. You couldn't possibly get to 50% unless you over-represented women in the near present or adjusted notability standards.

However if it were 17.47% for current times, that would be a significant bias that needs to be addressed. It still might not hit 50/50 given reduced opportunities for women still today, but it should be moving ever closer.
These examples are "meta" though--like the people who write books about how to get rich quick when in fact it is the act of producing the book.

Here's the truth: You aren't going to get far in a business unless you are the type of person who can go out and make . connections with actual people.

What matters is who you know first and foremost and if you're talking startups, it all runs on bs just like YC does--VC money and massive unreality when it comes to actual profits. Most startups fail losing lots of money and impoverishing the founders.

Didn't mean to sound so negative, it's great that people are thinking about being entrepreneurs. It's just that you have to understand that the tech part is the easy part and that there's a metric crap ton of bs out there.

I've been working remote about 4 years and have managed both good and terrible remote workers.

You have to position yourself as someone who can handle working remotely. Some otherwise great people just can't do it very well, no knock on them, it's just the way some people are wired.

Join a coworking place and put that in your blog. That says to an employer even though this person is remote they appreciate a workspace separate from their personal life. Intermingling work and personal life, even trivial things like folding a load of laundry over lunch, only leads to problems.

Also, say up front that you're up to traveling from time to time to meet face to face. I try to spend about 4 days a month at corporate having lunch and coffee with the people i chat with on slack all day. It goes a long way both for them and for me.
Interstellar infuriated me worse than the average “space opera” Star Wars/Star Trek-type crap because it spread the pretence of being scientifically accurate and plausible.

Before we get to the black holes part... why didn't they have timestamped signals from the surface of that water-planet? Why didn't they go into a polar orbit (as opposed to equatorial orbit) around it so as to minimise the cumulative time dilation around the black hole it was orbiting? What kind of specific impulse were they supposed to have to be able to take off from it after they'd landed.

Oh, I cringed. I cringed so hard. Poor Kip Thorne.

You have been using it for a long time, right? Have you found any issues in the case when you previously successfully generated a site using an older version, but then install a newer version in a different machine, and you try to generate the site with the "old" source?

> If people are creating software that burns fossil fuels

They aren't. Only hardware burns fossil fuels, and computing hardware doesn't inherently do so, for the most part, only if you choose to hook it up to a fossil fuel power plant rather than something else; the software isn't the thing directly to address.

OTOH, the personal data use you are drawing a poor analogy to is the direct point of concern.
