That's sadly not the case: EU citizens can work everywhere in Europe, but employing people across Euro countries is not easy at all. You need legal advice to comply with both your country's and the employee's country's laws, some countries require an actual registered office/entity, the employee protections e.g. in Italy and France make it very hard too.

This is for employment, of course. You can contract someone from anywhere, regardless of EU or not.
Yep, the Switch is a technological wonder.

The last console I owned was a Game Boy Advance. The Switch is wonderful for so many reasons:

It deserves its name. It really is a flexible console; the snappable/detachable joycons, the controller, the 4-way joycon sharing, TV mode, etc... none of it is a gimmick, it's all useful. And different games have different favoured settings (eg. SMO is super fun with the joycons detached, but Stardew Valley is best snapped).

Lots of games just feel great on the Switch, even games that were not originally designed for it.

And Nintendo just killed it with its own launch titles. Super Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild are both console sellers on their own. Mario Kart is incredibly fun and easy to whip out when you have your console around friends.

And that thing is a beast. Breath of the Wild runs really well on it (except for load times. but that's very forgivable). I often think about this: Breath of the Wild is a mobile game (!!!)... Crazy. And it has pretty good battery life given what it runs.

The main thing I don't like with the Switch is the low disk space. That it can't even have SMO, BOTW and Mario Kart at the same time is kind of a head-scratcher for me. I still need to get an SD card for it (at least that's an option).
This transition, for most, is as casual as two people deciding who is going to drive. There’s simply a different driver available and the convenience of that will make the acceptance of autonomous vehicles happen very quickly
What desktop environment do you use now? What you are asking for does sound like the reason why people who use GNOME like it. It is focused on having sane and opinionated defaults but it is still tweakable via advanced settings (tweak tool, dconf) and extensions.
> Convenience is the most underestimated and least understood force in the world today. As a driver of human decisions, it may not offer the illicit thrill of Freud’s unconscious sexual desires or the mathematical elegance of the economist’s incentives. Convenience is boring. But boring is not the same thing as trivial.

The mapping of convenience to cost is called "transaction costs."

It's certainly prevalent in a lot of economic work!

You just press it, like you would with an SD card in a camera, and it pops out... Are you wrecking your Switch by trying to force it out???

The switch is awesome for the commute. So I ordered a GPD win 2 hoping to replicate that feeling and try out some of those hundreds of games I've picked up in Steam Summer Sales and Humble Bundles that I've never actually tried.
I don’t know about you specifically, but I’ve met enough people who would contribute more to society if they just stayed home. I think there is very little correlation between salary and use to society.
The anology would be an accidental mass shooting by an autonomous security bot.
It gives that as an upper bound on the size of the search space of boolean functions with n-bit input, representing technical strategies that consider the last n market movements. It goes on to claim that if there is a historically winning technical strategy, a nondeterministic Turing machine can write out a full description of that strategy in polynomial time.

The remaining problem is how to uniquely describe in polynomial space an element of a set with doubly exponentially many elements, but the authors don't bring that up because they're working under the assumption that there are 2^n functions rather than 2^(2^n).

The assertion that the efficient market hypothesis is equivalent to P=NP also comes with no proof that future performance of a trading strategy will match its past performance or that anyone will actually deploy a perfect strategy if one exists.
Really? I look at the everyday newspapers, and I see even the "left wing, unauthoritarian" news papers preaching xenophobia, ignorance, and bad science. None of which are present within traditional academic "left-wing liberal" thought, with writers such as Rosenburg and Chomsky.

Part of this is that the Overton Window has shifted so far right that "left wing" in the mainstream now means "center", however it cannot be ignored that what the mainstream considers 'normal' has indeed been shifted over time by the editors (and through them, the owners) of the newspapers.

I think for me the most startling revelation recently was that what I considered to be a traditionally marxist perspective and given right, "The freedom from want", was adopted by western countries during World War Two. It's a damn shame that although it is a founding right, it, and efforts to implement it, have been for decades ignored and disparaged within the media and within "right-wing" academic circles.
It’s almost as if when you get companies as large as countries, they start having trade wars.
> To be honest I find the game selection to be pretty weak. So far at least.

Early days. To be honest, there's more than enough titles to make the console worth it IMO. I have 600 games in my Steam library and I've seriously played maybe 15 of them. I'm super happy that my switch only has quality games.

And to anyone reading this, I recommend any and all of the following:

New titles: Super Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart (play it with friends!), Celeste.

Ports: Rocket League, Stardew Valley, Shovel Knight, The Binding of Isaac, Skyrim, Enter the Gungeon.
We haven't even begun.

Gearheads will refuse to let go of their cars. They love driving and maintaining their vehicle. They'll argue that no robot can drive better than they can, no matter how wrong they are.

Imagine a world where police no longer pull you over for speeding, running red lights, or other traffic infractions. The legal fight will be huge, as those easy revenue sources suddenly disappear.

There are hundreds of more fights and scenarios like this we haven't even begun to imagine, that will tie up progress in the courts for decades.

We're going to need a concentrated force focusing on this tech as the next thing we are going to do, and able to get out in front of these issues. Right now, I see autonomous driving as a thing that a few groups are seriously working on, while everyone else takes a passive stance, or dips their toes into the idea as a passing fancy and not a serious milestone to tackle. We need to move it past a novel toy, and in to a serious undertaking that we all need to be vested in shaping the future of.

Because in my opinion, the automobile is the most efficient and prolific human killing machine we have ever invented. I feel autonomous driving is a step toward fixing that issue.
> As if to mask the issue, we give other names to our inconvenient choices: We call them hobbies, avocations, callings, passions.

Aren't those things also filled with convenience? We use convenient tools, places, etc. for them.
As the author described earlier "By saving time and eliminating drudgery, it would create the possibility of leisure. And with leisure would come the possibility of devoting time to learning, hobbies or whatever else might really matter to us". Since this is most likely, at least to a point, true then couldn't convenience be thought of as something allowing us to advance in areas that are of interest to us instead of wasting time for things that aren't?

Even if that's the case I'm sure it's not if we take into account more than a single generation. Imagine, for example, the convenience of the washer. Before it, washing the clothes was a very tedious and time-consuming task.

Mr. Money Moustache's cost estimates are wildly unrealistic. I ran a TCO on my own vehicle and it came out to about 35-40 cents per mile, much less kilometer. The MIT study uses 30 cents per mile, and this sounds right if you are being frugal and driving carefully, but apparently even this is being revisited. The idea that the government would not let you over-deduct is, in my opinion, a big mistake -- lawmakers know that people who work out of their cars are generally low-paid and therefore do not contribute much to the tax base in the first place, so it is a higher priority to avoid screwing over the poor than to nickel-and-dime them. Furthermore tax laws in America are influenced by some pro-car, anti-tax elements, who will of course act to make taxes lower for drivers.
Fun fact: Wiles’ proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem took him six years to complete in isolation, during which time he essentially told no one in the mathematical community that he was working on it. To prove it, he had to utilize results from number theory, algebraic geometry and category theory. He largely proved it in 1993, save for one error that he did not correct until 1995. One of my favorite videos on YouTube is a ~30 second clip of Wiles describing the moment he discovered the solution to the last remaining error in his proof: https://youtube.com/watch?v=SccDUpIPXM0. Wiles was completely enamored with the problem since his childhood, and pursued a proof in earnest from his early 30s.

His proof was exceptionally understated when it was presented. In 1993, he gave lectures on his proof of the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture (the modularity theorem), which was the bulk of the machinery of the proof (the modularity theorem for semistable elliptic curves implies Fermat’s Last Theorem). He simply stated at the end of the lecture that his proof also happened to imply Fermat’s Last Theorem.

Up until Wiles did it, much of the mathematical community at the time didn’t think Fermat’s Last Theorem was “accessible” to prove with contemporary techniques. Incidentally, Fermat himself wrote that he had a “truly marvelous proof” of the theorem in the margin next to it in one of his books, but which he couldn’t write down becuase the margin was apparently too small to contain it. There’s pretty broad skepticism Fermat actually had a proof however, considering that most of Wiles’ (very long, and very complex) proof borrowed results from large swaths of mathematics not developed until the 20th century.

If anyone is interested in trying to learn how the proof works at the formal level, the book Modular Forms and Fermat’s Last Theorem by Cornell, Silverman and Stevens provides a rigorous presentation that builds up the necessary mathematics to understand the entire thing. It’s easily a graduate-level textbook, but it’s probably accessible (with effort) to anyone who has worked through undergraduate abstract algebra (up to finite fields and Galois theory) and number theory (up to elliptic curves).
Can't deny the price is right but the keyboard looks a bit too big and the display too small and limited. Interesting device but I think I'd rather schlep my (also not quite portable enough) netbook than that.
While looking for something on "the other go programming language" I ran across this book list: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Books Maybe the creator of this repo didn't want it to be yet another book list.
The fact that they are talking about Germany is self-evident because it's a German court and they even wrote it out plainly, if you'd bothered to read further than the part you quoted:

"via the website www.gutenberg.org (including its sub-pages) without the plaintiff’s consent,
if and to the extent to which it is possible for internet users to access them (screen display
and/or download) from Germany."

If you want to talk about national courts censoring content from the whole www then you need to talk to US courts and their "chilling effects".

I use emacs with colemak. I find it more ergonomic than emacs with qwerty. Is there anything specific you find cumbersome?
I think the government allowance in the USA is very generous. I generally drive reliable, economical cars (e.g. a Honda Civic) and I enjoy driving for work because I'm making a profit. Not much, but money is money.

Maybe if I was driving a lifted F-350 through hilly terrain I'd start to be at the break even point, but using that number as an actual cost is waaay overestimating the actual cost, especially since Uber and Lyft require relatively new (read: efficient) vehicles.
I'm sure people are thinking/working on this but it seems that nobody is talking about the infrastructure improvements that would likely be necessary to support fully autonomous vehicles (smart roadways, etc). To me, this should really be a two-pronged approach; the vehicle and the environment. Trying to engineer a vehicle to successfully navigate an environment soley designed for human cognition seems like a losing battle. But, if roadways were fitted with a myriad of sensors and communication networks which couldn't be thwarted by a can of spray paint, I think the success rate of the actual autonomous vehicle would be much better.

It's easy to complain about the paper, but credit where credit is due: Stephen Zoepf listened to the criticism, considered it, and will be re-running some numbers. All within a few days of the paper being publicized.

Now we're mixing up 2 issues... torrents of copyrighted content with German seeders, and e-books of copyrighted content (at least copyrighted in Germany) with a website provider.

They only go for German seeders because asking a foreign ISP for the address of someone who used a particular IP address at a particular date and time would probably get them the middle finger as a reply. In the case of PG, they know who is making the copyrighted content available in Germany, because PG has an address on their website.

And a German court said it's within their jurisdiction.

If you run a mirror with your contact information available, presumably they will contact you next.

On the contrary, decimal number types (such as the one in C# that I am most familiar with) are addressing another kind of number that occurs very frequently within "the real world" and is inherently in base ten. Namely, numbers with a fixed number of digits past the decimal point and with specific rounding rules. These are incredibly common in finance.
How is this different from “it’s all text”?
For Floats in particular, binary implementation details leak all the time due to rounding. A number like 0.0625 can be represented in binary exactly with only 4 bits, but a number like 0.1 can only be represented approximately even when using 64 bits.

This could be solved with a rational-style data type, but I consider the fact that real-style data types don't capture that to also be the implementation leaking.
> Imagine, for example, the convenience of the washer. Before it, washing the clothes was a very tedious and time-consuming task.

True; but I suspect that in the past, people didn't wash as many clothes as frequently as we do now. It seems possible that the total amount of laundry being done in a typical household has grown so that although the process is easier/more efficient, we still spend a similar amount of time on it.

> the Overton Window has shifted so far right that "left wing" in the mainstream now means "center"

As a conservative, I'd claim the window has shifted in the other direction, at least in some respects.

Are you able to give any examples that you see as evidence of a broad shift to the right?
I'm not a big car guy, but I am nostalgic for my 9000. Like a true Saab it was in many ways a strangely put together car, but it had a hard to describe feel of being well engineered and a great ride. I owned a 900 too, and had Saab still existed I would most likely still be driving a Saab today.

Perhaps the new Chinese owners jump onto the electric wave and need a good base vehicle? One can dream!

At least an electric 9000 wouldn't have the balance chain chewing up the engine block ;)

Are you talking about capacity or capacity factor?

From the article:

So this would be a percentage of your theoretical maximum, never exceeding it, by definition.
"Imagine a world where police no longer pull you over for speeding, running red lights, or other traffic infractions"

That's an interesting point I hadn't heard before. Are there stats for what kind of revenue various little cities, counties, etc, in the US are generating with speed traps, red light cameras, and similar tactics? Those tactics obviously lose to self driving cars.
Right, that makes sense, and i should have considered the extreme cold of the upper atmosphere. Thanks!
The day was an example among a period of years of extreme drought.

Drought is the outcome of years of low precipitation - it's not one day, one week,one month or one year. The recovery won't come in the same time period I said in the previous sentence. It will take years of rain to refill what was lost, not to mention there might be erosion already that have made some riverbeds/lakes permeable again, so water will not be held there.

The spring of the main river in the Iberian Peninsula has dried. Many other springs of secondary rivers have dried as well.

It's not weather. It's climate change.
nice, thanks :)
Magnetic field, ah! Right so, interestingly does that mean a polar shift (that every now and again people rave about) might have larger implications than breaking electronics? Ie massive water loss? I feel like it would depend what the poles look like after the shift, is it likely the field could be weakened or would it just flip? I should probably try learn more about this.
I am curious about this aspect and probably should do some research, but how will highcharts to PDF work?

I haven’t played much of anything in years, but the Switch (and BotW) give me back that lost joy. What impressed me most: You buy a game, pop it in and you’re playing a modern looking game in seconds - no installing or updating or online requirement. No distractions either. Wonderfully simple yet flexible control schemes. Plus you get two player mode included in base package. One really annoying thing though: The stand, it’s useless - it shouldn’t have passed Nintendo’s quality control.

I mean that, a solar panel can't produce 27 watts on average having a 100 watts peak power. In any practical location on Earth - while somewhere in the middle of Sahara desert, it will be close to that (unless you take in account solar panel's reduced power in higher temperatures).
Similar background and profession - putting aside whether an individual would ever want to own one, general purpose passenger autonomy won't happen for probably another decade. Limited domain autonomy will be here in before 5 years, though. It'll just suck.

But the first step to getting good at something is sucking at it.
A different article puts the energy costs at: "140 pounds ($185) per megawatt-hour on top of the current wholesale power price in the UK, which is about 49 pounds ($65) per megawatt-hour"
