There are also several towns and villages commutable into Cambridge with housing which is very affordable by South East UK standards, and certainly for anyone working in tech, even if that means braving horrible traffic on the commute in.
Thanks for the advice. We've been talking with a couple Fortune 500 companies who are using Exchange and Sharepoint, so if we end up building out an enterprise deployment for them then we'll probably end up doing this. I don't want to start building out enterprise stuff though until we have a paying enterprise customer who is asking for specific things. The product is good enough for enterprise, the real issue is just making sure the upload process is aligned with the workflows of people within the company so that way the effort and cognitive overhead of contributing is low enough that lots of documentation gets created.
I concede the point: the "best" explanation is best in a context.

The best explanation for a PhD candidate about to defend their thesis the next day is not the same as it is for, say, me.

But that reinforces the point I am making.
It's going to be very interesting when Disney rolls out their service. They could really do some damage to Netflix (and Amazon Video).

For those with kids, it's a no brainer. Millions of subscriptions right off the bat.

Then imagine if Disney puts Star Wars exclusively on their service, same day or even before theaters. Millions more subscriptions. They could do this with all things Pixar, Marvel and other big Disney IP...

Now add on the merchandise. They'll have better data on exactly what people are watching, how many times they're watching it and can create offers based on that. The merchandising side is a huge advantage.
Those numbers look quite wrong, I don't think they're comparing like-for-like.

For consumer goods it seems they're comparing a cheap UK supermarket to Whole Foods in SF, and for rents they must be ignoring square footage and/or using different definitions of city center to get those comparisons. I checked out rental prices in SF on a recent visit and found SF pretty good value compared to London.

Netflix is a business success and a product success. They played a difficult game and won. I don't have anything disparaging to say about them as a company, but as a type of company....

We (as consumers & residents of an economy) need to pay attention to what Peter Thiel called "monopoly" when he (playing provocateur) said that "competition is for losers."

The reason Netflix became so successful, and managed to play with the entertainment oligopolies is that they built and control a bottleneck. They are the biggest streaming company, one of a handful in any given market.

Terrestrial TV came with frequency band issues. Broadcasting had to be licensed so everyone wouldn't step all over eachothers' signals. This resulted in a structural oligopoly, where only a handful of licencees could broadcast.

Then cable came. This came with physical infrastructure, and structural tendencies to local monopoly. They also developed an oligopolistic industry structure, where licensing and content acquisition is only really possible if you are fairly big.

Now internet. Online, Netflix and other streaming companies have built their companies specifically around the goal of owning a bottleneck.

This time, there is no tangible reason for it. It's just a tendency of digital services that one service "wins" a race to monopolize a sector.

There are a ton of inefficiencies in an oligopolistic market. I pay for house of cards by subscribing to Netflix. You pay for American gods by subscribing to Amazon. Why can't we both watch both shows? It wouldn't defund the shows, since we both keep paying the same. It wouldn't be skin off either of our noses either. Show creators would prefer universal availability and so would consumers. The reason Amazon and Netflix want this situation to exist, is because it maintains their respective "moats." There is no string underlying economic (pertaining to resource allocation and scarcity) reason for it.

Basically, we need to watch out for these intermediaries. They are very innovative and consumer friendly in their first decade or two. That's how they succeed at first. Later, they succeed by maintaining their monopolies any way they can.

"Anyway, at a _personal_ level, nobody here will come to the conclusion they better leave to the EU because they'd be better there"

Well, for what it's worth my wife and I did just that because we wanted more vacation time and nobody in the US was competitive in that regard, especially for her. I was also pretty near the start of my career and had what you might call a crappy job in LA - I've progressed quite a bit in the 5 years since I got here.
We sold a large flat in the New Town about a year and a half a go and a lot of the people who viewed were "investment" buyers - I must admit I didn't give any thought to what they would actually do with the property once they had bought it.

We sold to a family with young kids who wanted to live there - which I preferred.
Except, in the UK, med school graduates at age 22 are "junior doctors" and are getting paid starting Year 5 (first year of foundational school)

Maybe American productions should do the same thing.

Though, I guess they're already edging towards it with the ridiculous half-season break...

They need to pay for the reporting, after all. Having said that, you can sneak in by anonymously browsing there.
Or possibly a common open resource from which services can pull regularly updated crawl data. I'm not sure if what I am thinking of exists or is feasible or not, just a thought from someone with little experience in crawling in general. Although, then that would put load on a single source and someone has to pay for those resources. Maybe if there was a distributed resource then, I wonder if block-chain technology or something similar factor into such a niche.

> that suggested that it was MORE capitalistic than not

That's an awesome (but not very honest) way to sell it to the leftophobic right. But, again, capitalism doesn't mandate small government and vanishingly low taxes.
Interesting. Will check that book out.
Here's the relevant paper:

Short summary is that beaches where sunblock is used a lot show much higher concentrations of the relevant chemical compared to beaches where sunscreen is less common or beaches that saw fewer swimmers, and that heightened levels of these chemicals can be observed up to 600 meters out from these beaches. The observed correlation between high concentrations of these chemicals in the water and the lack of coral growths is very strong.
It's pretty sad that F# is sitting on the sidelines wondering what it did wrong to not get these accolades. I guess, "Being unable to enter a mobile ecosystem that's being held on a very old language runtime," is perhaps not the most desirable outcome for Android but dang if it hasn't worked out well for Kotlin's press.

People are going TO Kotlin as opposed to the usually Ocaml/F#/Haskell/Idris/Agda world of the community trying to bring people in.
while I like to be optimistic about human nature, the ability to find people that don't have political and/or financial interests involved in those decisions is not trivial. The 7.4 Billon people number is irrelevant. No one is going to someone from Sudan to draw districts in Wisconsin-they won't even go to someone from Illinois or Minnesota for that advice.
it's self-evident _at this point in time_, given you could feed such a machine the collatz conjecture as an algorithm and we just don't know if any arbitrary input will halt. I'm not claiming it is self-evident in perpetuity. By bounding problem I guess I mean the mathematical equivalent of knowing it can halt. I'm not a mathematician as I previously stated so I don't know the terminology.

I don't think the space I'm talking about is equivalent to the state of all of our mathematical knowledge, as AFAIK not all problems relate directly to this space. But a subset of all mathematics, sure (perhaps computability, or logic in general although of a higher kind than first-order). My interest is in creating a static analyser based on the set of axioms or deductions that can be derived from that space.

> does an ad being shown next to something objectionable transfer some of that negative sentiment to the brand?

Yes, it does because the negative sentiment will be added to the possible results returned by "System 1"[1][2] thinking that tends to be very fast at approximate searches of long term memory and applying energy saving simplifications/heuristics. System 1 strongly favors fast lookup times over accuracy; this is very useful when you need to decide quickly if that thing you just saw around the corner was a bear or just a strangely shaped shrubbery. Wasting a bit of energy running away from shrubbery is a better survival strategy than waiting for an accurate analysis from System 2 while the bear eats you.

The question isn't if the brand will be negatively affected - it will. What we don't know is how this is the size of the effect, which probably varies wildly due to many different factors.

I find it funny you're being downvoted, as if people just don't like hearing the truth.

America houses more prisoners than any country in the world (around 2.4 Million). More than both China and Brazil combined, the next two highest (Brazil has recently beat out Russia for third highest prison population). To give some comparison, the combined population of China and Brazil is 1.6 Billion, compared to America's 326 Million.

I wasn't saying there's no place for constructive criticism or critiques. Those are definitely useful and important.

But that's not what this article is, and I think we all know the tendency I'm talking about for people to spend more energy and feel more comfortable trashing things than talking about what they like.
You're not supposed to finish GEB, there's even a section in the book about that.

In terms of "niceness" I prefer Kotlin not only to Java, but also to C#; another language in which I've coded professionally, and one I hold in high regard.

Although there's certainly much less of a gap between Kotlin and C#.
Huh. I'd be interested to hear what low-level stuff they thought was harder than in Java. Can't think of anything you can do in Java that can't be done at the same abstraction level in Kotlin.
I wonder if the technology is sustainable. I mean, as they grow, can they continue to use the tcp/ip network that is used for everything else by everyone, or would they create their own private network. Would they become their own service providers displacing the traditional ISP's?

(I couldn't read the full article as I didn't have access, so not sure if this is touched upon there.)
I'd rather not have to do this, but you're right: If you take any 1 headline on an aggregator like Google News, and expand the related articles' headlines for the same news item beneath it, you can do some quite useful comparing and contrasting.
Of those that you listed only Patriot is produced by Amazon. American Gods comes from Starz, Preacher is from AMC and The Expanse comes from the SyFy channel.

Writing is great for one-way communication. If you actually mean to collaborate, if you don't know what you don't know and what to ask the other person, in-person communication is way more efficient.

And it turns out if you're solving nontrivial problems as a software team, you're talking is more of the collaborative kind than the one-way-information-distributing kind.
The point of the example is you could own a nice 4bd 3ba in the Dallas area for $300-400k.

But say you work in software and your career has plateaued. It’s tempting to move to SF because there are so many great jobs. But you cash out your $60k of equity or whatever in Dallas and go look for housing in SF.... well, you’ll have to accept a significant lifestyle change and switch to renting. There are a lot of people who feel tied down by that deal and so don’t move even though it might be better long term to be climbing the ladder at a major company than to be maxed out in the best available local job you can get.
I encourage you to read American Slavery, American Freedom to help reconcile how and why this came about.

It makes Android developers very, very happy because it brings features and fixes issues they have. They're stuck on a very old version of the Java spec, remember. They don't really have great options for other languages because of the huge amount of specialized executable optimization and processing required to ship on Android.

It'd be awesome if we could see a similar uptake in Eta or something like that. But it's unlikely, as making Eta equally efficient on Android will be a full on PhD thesis of work on top of a mountain of integration work JB finances to get the tooling perfect.
If MSFT don't do it, and use audit licensing instead, that might be a clue that it's not a sustainable and reliable mechanism for license enforcement.
This would mean you get into endless discussion about whether a new proposal is covering the same topic or not. Politicians try to game every system if it helps their cause. And then there are the corner cases where the underlying situation changes enough to warrant action even though it fell through one or two years prior.
They have a lot of nukes because nukes are cheap and Russia's economy is pretty small - a good bit less than Italy and less than half of the UK.

They probably do pose a realistic threat to the Baltic states - but that's because they are very small and isolated.
As a motorcyclist & car driver, what I've observed is in a car you can hear loud pipe bikes- but only when they are in front of you, i.e. with the tailpipe pointing at your face. Behind or beside you- in other words, in your blind spots- don't hear a thing.

If you liked Borland Pascal/Delphi then check out Free Pascal/Lazarus. If nothing else, it is growing (a bit too much if you ask me, but it isn't the monster that C++ is - yet). The main star of the show here is Lazarus which is basically a cross platform Delphi with support for the native widgets for each platform (on Linux you can choose between Gtk+ and Qt).

Another alternative is D, which is basically C++ minus a few warts, the option to have a somewhat faster compiler (all modern C++ compilers are very slow) but it wasn't made yesterday so it has accumulated its own cruft (most common being that most of the new "flags" for declarations being in the form of "@stuff" instead of just "stuff" even though some older stuff being just "stuff" so things look a bit messy - in a similar vein, the new supposedly best practice, especially for libraries, is for functions to be pure and nogc, but this isn't the default so you have to put the declarations everywhere). Still, it is the most obvious choice for someone who wants a better language than C++ without changing too much.

There is also Rust, but i don't know about it.
Driverless cars are overrated.
Please consider that the competition was 1990's era C++. For every way Java's old versions were bad, C++ was bad in 3 distinct ways that often lead to program faults. Folks left old-C++-world like it was plague infested when they could, because it was a genuinely unforgiving environment to program in and no one took Objective-C seriously outside of the world of NeXTSTEP.
Kotlin is very much meant to operate at the same level of abstraction as Java, which is a fair bit lower-level than Python. If you don't need to work at that lower abstraction level, Python will still feel a bit nicer. Kotlin definitely closes some of that gap, though.
I was curious about this since it seems unlikely SF can be so much more expensive than London. When I looked into it a couple of months ago, I found zone 1 London rents are a fair bit higher than equivalent apartments in SF if you compare by square-footage and quality. I speculate that the idea SF is much pricier than London is caused by significantly lower standards/expectations for London.
I'm 34, I've recently had to learn a ton of new stuff, some that I really didn't want to learn (asp.net? From the early 2000's? Yuck). Also lots of more complicated things - I'm flooded with information daily and it's a chore keeping up.

I almost always have the feelings you're experiencing in the beginning. The trick is to sidestep the mindfuck and keep trying. Ignore that dissonant feeling that comes with not understanding. In my experience, success is a function of grit more than anything else.

Also, a practical strategy that helps me to push through issues like this, is to get out a spiral notebook and a pen and to break the problem down into small chunks, and try to tackle those one at a time. If I'm really stuck, I'll write a list of all of my problems, with a space underneath. Then I'll think about the problem a little, and write a possible tactic to try for solving the problem. It sounds stupid but it really helps (I'm just applying the [Feynman Algorithm](http://wiki.c2.com/?FeynmanAlgorithm=) here).

Finally, 32 years is not old. You're just barely hitting your stride. I'm 34 and I've recently discovered that my experience is valuable, and gives me an edge over my younger peers. You're only as old as you feel. If you stop believing in yourself, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Good Luck
I've only seen Dexter from that list. To me, it took a few seasons to warm up. That said, it started out better than a lot of shows.
There are plenty of languages in use that people genuinely enjoy using [1]. A lot of complexity in languages tends to be completely incidental. It's often not inherent in the problem the language solves, and it's just a design decision somebody made based on their aesthetic and experience at the time.

A lot of people seem to take pride in memorizing these quirks, but they're just that. There's nothing fundamentally interesting about them, and they're just mental clutter at the end of the day.

We should strive to have well designed languages that are optimized for developer experience. Accepting poor design decisions just keeps perpetuating the problem.

You just moved the goalpost. We were talking about wait times for insured people, which is 88% of Americans. Can we stick to one topic until it is resolved?

For the 88% of Americans who are insured, their wait times are lower than in rich Western European countries and Canada, and far lower than poorer Western European countries like Italy.

Here's an article about people in Canada paying for surgery in the U.S. to avoid waiting forever for their surgery: http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/calgary/Long+Canadian+wait...

Have you ever seen an article about people going to Canada for superior medical care? No. Canadian medical care is clearly cheaper but also inferior.
