I'm 25.
In the last year, after dating for 2 months (with a person that I knew for more than 15yrs), we married and decided to move into Italy, without much planning. I had a great job in Brazil, since 2010, and they let me keep working remote.

We struggled a little to live in Europe with only my salary from Brazil, but in general, I'd said that its being an incredible experience. We are traveling a lot!

After the bureaucracy to get the visa here, I've found a nice job in a start up and I've been working here for 3 months now. My wife also found a job as a engineer.

Now, things are becoming more stable and hopefully soon we are buying a car. Although, I don't expect to become rich anytime soon.
In Dublin (Ireland) the drivers at Dublin Bus call this polling (or poling...not sure of spelling).

The explanation given to me by a former driver is very simple. When a driver is very hungover or in bad form for one reason or another they poll the other bus so they get light duty.

You’d be decreasing overall image resolution.

HDR is as simple as taking multiple exposures and different EV values. It was often down with sheet film cameras, the two negatives being used to create the final print.
Not the op but I'll answer for myself.

I've stored non anoynmized data on Dropbox as part of my own research. IRB gave me permission to keep that data and my consent form explained it to participants. We were all working under the assumption this type of sharing by Dropbox was impossible. My school's IRB does not allow the use of Google drive for nonanonymized data storage based on just this type of concern.
More worryingly, about 111% are innumerate.
Thank you. It's interesting to see the explosion of states. You could add a cache (per search depth) to deduplicate states again. It will reduce small cycles and the used memory is easier to control.

Kudos for the encoding. 0.7 bits per state is dense.
Languages is perhaps one of the largest hurdles for voice at this point. I can't even get my browser to understand that I switch between Danish and English multiple times a day and adjust spell checking accordingly. So having a voice controlled system that will understand multiple languages simultaneously doesn't seem likely in the near future.
This pattern is perpetuating itself with electric vehicles. Because electric is cheaper we have ended up with behemoths from Tesla and Jaguar, even the Renault/Nissan small car is far from small.
This doesn't contradict the parent comment. The Federal Government isn't the single authority on taxes. The 16th amendment grants them the power to lay and collect, but it does not reserve that power exclusively to the Feds.
Why did people feel guilty to read papers?

Seems like a strange reason to drop out.

I know many more people who dropped out because of poor management than those that didn't seem to be good at it.
> Obviously the overall experience on an iPhone is better than a blackberry

I don't know, the iPhone has more modern apps but for typing I've not found any touch screen phone which comes close to a BlackBerry 9900 keyboard, that was perfection to me. The newer models, such as the Priv and KeyOne, are not as nice to type on as the 9900 but still far superior to others.
This is one of the only environmental topics where things are improving. I can clearly recall breathing uneasily in Paris not that long ago. Now when I go back, it's way better. Even the noise is more bearable.

It still sucks, but clearly the car manufacturers and law makers did a decent job. I'm so ready for electric cars taking over the cities though.
Well touchscreens will show you new, better organized or painted buttons (with the power of FOSS of course). Surely you don't wanna swap half of your dash every time someone comes up with something better?
Ah, my oven uses a touch screen. It’s a mess for some things, but it does allow for very sophistication menu systems, with creating custom programs and whatnot.
Yeah, well, I got one of those calls just last Friday.
Anecdatum, but my handwriting looks like a 5 year old's. It was best when I was a teenager but now that I probably write fewer than 30 words a week on average it's really taken a nosedive. I don't view it as a huge problem, but it's a bit embarrassing.

Still, turns out being able to type well and quickly is far, far more important in my line of work.
I'm glad someone posted this.

I was absolutely not. I am however, also very much done here.
Unless the touchscreen is fully redundant, I cannot imagine it being worth the loss of physical buttons for the 99% of times you are warming up a pizza slice for 5 minutes.
As a PhD in experimental physics, I totally agree.

That said, I still think they have room in making it a shorter length PhD. Not 3 years, but there are several groups where less than 6 years is rare, but 6-7 is normal.
I have already sold my Nikon camera and currently selling all my lenses to permanently switch to Sony. As far as I know, Sony is the only company currently doing real innovation in the field of image sensors.
How did Skyscanner Grow So Fast?
You mean prescribing?
There are fundamental physical limits at play. Smaller sensors, with smaller pixel size are diffraction limited more quickly. This new sensor has a pixel pitch about one eighth of what a modern APS-C DSLR has. That sensor would be diffraction limited at around f1.4. Most camera systems are more limited by lens resolution than diffraction. Fast lenses like those found on smart phones often have issues with optical aberrations. The lens quality issue is both a financial and technological one. It is possible to create a lens that is diffraction limited, but even for a small sensor it is very expensive in practice.

I suspect the act of not paying for gains when converting them into money, would be criminal. You'd get caught when trying to cash out.
The issue is that because not everyone follows SemVer, you have to assume that no-one follows SemVer and act defensively, otherwise you will have problems.

Ideally, there would be a tool that can inspect your entire codebase and determine if the change is "breaking". This still has issues if the change lies outside of your codebase (perhaps such as changing the configuration of your AWS services).
OK, I'll bite. Australia has a population of ~25 million, similar to Texas. So let's work with something of a similar scale to the U.S.: Would you be okay with having all of Australia's taxes being collected by the Commonwealth, and then getting your portion that way?
But those currencies devalue a lot, devalue often. You are making wealth by storing USD cash. Maybe GBP not so much after brexit.

Except if you do legitimately move, it seems like you'd still be subject to fairly invasive scrutiny (credit card statements, phone transaction, ...)

The original title is accurate, it appears hard whether you do it legitimately or not.

Exceptionalism makes it really difficult to engage with conversations about US politics where you try to say, "It doens't have to be this way!" but get told that the US is somehow different to every other developed nation and couldn't possibly apply what works elsewhere.

This happens across the US political specturm, whether about their tax system, banking system, gun reform, electoral reform, and many other issues; it's a frequent refrain that the US is so different it can't learn from others.

As a US citizen who is resident elsewhere it is infuriating to watch.
Disclaimer: not a transportation engineer.

I wonder what it would look like if departure times were enforced in the don't-leave-before direction. Then giving enough time between scheduled stops that e.g. 90% of buses traveling that stretch can make it in time for that day/time combination. I realize that doesn't mean that 90% of trips will be on-time due to how failures will cascade, but it should eventually catch up due to the slack provided.

The big question is whether people will accept the increased latency (and total trip times) for less variance in waiting time and trip time.

They do this on certain cameras, look up "Dual ISO". Effectively they make every other line more sensitive, increasing dynamic range when they merge the lines together. It's not a perfect solution, moire and other artifacts increase, and you lose resolution. The trade-offs are often worth it, especially for video.
Here in the UK the edge version of the S8 is all you can get.
Congress has non-exclusive power to tax under Article I; the 16th Amendment shifted the parameters of that power but did not make it exclusive.
>How available is biodiesel in the US?

Wholesale its pretty much everywhere. Retail it depends on the state. Most states have a small % (usually 2-5%) blended into standard diesel to replace the lubricity lost from removing sulfur, but to get B20 or higher you’d have to google.

>The DPF should be self cleaning

Key words, ‘should be’. Do a quick search of dpf problems. They either plug from not completing (though you get dpf light telling you to go race it for a half hour or so to clear) or having some other issue. This causes obstruction and reduces economy more. That or they crack like mine did and plug the egr with soot. Regen takes some time to run, if your commute is 5mi it will not complete.

>Our 2016 Golf Bluemotion gets at least 50mpg in normal driving, usually over 60mpg, and occasionally we crack 70mpg.

(Casual reminder UK mpg different than US mpg, I will convert my experience to UK mpg)

Consistent with my 98 jetta tdi’s mileage. Unfortunately my 2012 golf tdi usually only topped out around 60mpg, I only broke 70mpg in a few extrodinary circumstances. The newer ones have urea injection systems and are a bit lighter.

Also from what I remember UK diesel is usually higher cetane and generally higher quality (also comparing any US/EU spec vehicles, US almost always detuned for emissions and running on poor fuel)
Not really, they hold you at your word, in case you lie or owner of the place claims he doesn't know you and you never been there it goes in your file next interaction with police / border control might not be pleasant.

EDIT: Depends on length of stay of course, under few weeks they generally don't care, over a month they will definitely contact the owner and check everything.

Owner might not want his address being mentioned too many times, registering 10 random people within 2 months would definitely attract tax office attention and since renting is income tax needs to be paid on that.
I've been pestered several times a day with the "last chance to lower your credit card rates" phone scam. I finally hit on a solution. I press 1 to speak to a representative, I get a human, then I follow their script until it gets to the "what's your credit card number" question.

I say I have to go look for it. So I randomly make noises like opening doors, closing drawers, shuffling papers. I had one on the line for 10 minutes before he gave up.

After a couple doses of "the treatment", they stop calling. Blessed relief!

This method works because it costs them human time. Just hanging up on their robot, or their human, doesn't work. They just call again.
How much is my car UI really going to improve over 10 years? Without some kind of revenue model, the manufacturer wants you to upgrade, and there isn't really anything that's actually useful that can ship post-build without installed hardware (eg blindspot warning, rearview camera)
It's easily dodged. They could open restaurants to the public, charge exorbitant prices to the public, and comp employee meals.
Do we need another type of operating system interface to solve this? Something simpler, like TV or Minitel?

It would seem that Apps have helped to bring the last 20% of Americans online, would we need something even simpler to bring the rest onboard?
Stovetops with capacitive buttons are much nicer than the cheaper resistive buttons. Never had any problems with the two inductive stovetops I have owned, but vacation homes with cheaper electric stovetops with resistive buttons is more hassle. The flat surface of both variants makes them easy to keep clean and child lock.

1. There are numerous cyclical factors that affect the productivity of a population. Growth in the US post-WWII was strong enough to offset taxation. Additionally, the US has enjoyed a status of economic core which has helped to prop up the tax regime. However, it is plain to see that has been crumbling since the early 2000s.

2. Name some countries - are they growing more than 10%?

3. Increasing taxation is how the strangulation of a population works, so in that sense you are correct. The state always fails. If it didn't, and taxation "worked", we would be living in a utopia.

4. Weak States that cannot enforce taxation are the ones where the population has freedom to grow without onerous tax burdens and corporate protectionism.

A static view of the world assumes taxation is necessary. A nonlinear view recognizes the destruction it causes.
No at worst it increases whole-body inflammation.
Well, yes. Mostly true, and it has brought much annoyance :-)

Mobile Development: When to Choose a Cross-Platform Approach
There was a point in the 90s when every upcycle in clock speed translates directly to a payoff for software and users - that is moving to a new CPU generation bought you faster response times or quicker databases

Somewhere a decade ago this kinda stopped for anything mere humans could recognise - you could keep running your laptop or tower past the 18 month upgrade cycle and not notice or care too much (pace gaming)

Cameras seem to be in the same position now - i click the button on my camera phone and zoom in and am astounded - just astounded, at clarity.

I suspect the next driver will be like big data sucked up all those new cores, something like 3d cameras will be where the new frontier for camera improvements come from - not a demand for pictures that are better than most humans can already tell
That is nice, you could operate it blind. Which oddly, enough is how car controls should be designed.

This is willful tax evasion. It is a crime for which you go to jail.
Was the spec also written by the 3 teams in parallel to make sure the spec is not broken?
> This is exactly the kind of hateful stupidity

Maybe you should try to be a bit more civil when making your point, it will motivate the other person to take you seriously.
In programming, type contracts are not. Wouldn't it be nice if we had some sort of infallible static analysis tool that absolutely determines what constitutes a breaking change in your codebase?
> asking them to reproduce their issue without local customizations applied

This was a big, complex piece of software, a bank-level payment switch. It's possible that they couldn't run at all in their environment without the customisations applied.

> These problems can be solved.

I agree, if the contracts are well written and sensible :)

This is a strange (and off-topic) argument. Sony is mainly prevalent because they sell sensors to other companies, while Nikon doesn't do that (AFAIK). Other companies advancing camera sensor design include Aptina and TowerJazz.
Certainly it's fun from the pure engineering perspective but I guess also somewhat tedious.

On the other hand, if a billion dollars depend on your code working or not, or in other cases human lives like in space rockets, you don't get a second chance. If you fuck up, lots of important things get flushed down the toilet, usually including your job.

So you have 3 teams do in parallel to be 99.999999999% certain that it'll work as advertised. It's also sorta why banks are slow to adopt new changes since they want to be sure that whatever is going on, it'll work and not flush down Grandma's rent.
While not a federation or federally instituted, this is exactly how it works in the Netherlands. The central government collects income tax, VAT and social security taxes, etc. The local government (e.g. municipalities mostly, provinces sometimes) get grants and spend it. Example: Healthcare is locally instituted by the municipalities/cities ("gemeenten") while the tax (social securities) are collected nation wide together with income tax. Please note that only the executive part is local.

The municipalities can also levy taxes but usually only on common goods like sewage, water and on home ownership or equivalent for people who rent. The provinces do the same but it is far less than the central government does.

The workaround I used for this was Google Voice. I put the Google Voice number on my resume and in settings told it to use my own GV number as the caller id. If I saw a call coming from the GV number I knew it was a response to my resume. For some reason my GV number doesn’t attract scammers.

Mapping search data from Google Trends in R
It is somewhat doubtful, though, that SGX achieves what it was supposed to achieve. While you get full-RAM encryption & integrity, the trouble is that CPUs tend to only work-as-defined for a narrow range of environmental parameters. In all likelihood, a malicious cloud provider can take a CPU out of spec, at which point pretty much all security guarantees go out of the window...
I don't think anybody ever uttered any of those "don't work" phrases as they're all quality of life improvements, as opposed to a touch screen.

Also, you're not qualified to offer an opinion on a touch screen in a car because you haven't tried one long term ;)

Physical buttons and switches have a fixed position and give a steady, reassuring feedback when pressed. UI controls on a touch screen can be anywhere and the physical feedback just isn't there. Not to mention that most current infotainment systems are dog-slow to respond.
I was born in Mogadishu in 91. One parent is from "Somaliland".

The Somali state was deliberately fragmented into numerous regions in a bid to pit different clans against each other to better control the region. Large swaths of Somali inhabited territories were unfairly given to Ethiopia and Kenya due to religious solidarity. The collapse of the Somali state and ensuing civil war was a direct result of this misallocation of land. i.e Ogaden war broke the Somali economy, shunned internationally, demoralised army collapsed and then turned on each other etc.

>I support their independence because of the potential for their prosperity. They are currently being forced for Somalia to sort out its issues which I think is unfair.

This is such a delusional statement that can only come from a paid shill from the "Somaliland" government.

More than 50% of the population in territories the Somaliland government claims do not want to be part of "Somalialnd". "Somaliland" is a single clan attempting to create a one-clan state.

Unification is the only solution. Somalis just have to get on with the 21st century and move beyond clan politics and develop a modern political system. Giving disgruntled clans their own country is just a band aid solution.

The entire notion of two neighbouring countries: "Somalia" and "Somalialand" is just laughably absurd. They are the same people, look the same, speak the same language, have the exact same religion.......actually you couldn't find a more homogenous population in Africa, which is actually crazy when you think about it. Ethiopia has THOUSANDS of different clans, dozens of religions and languages, a population of over 100 million and they never needed to give every clan their own country.

This is a weak article and props up in the media every now and then by PR firms paid by the "Somaliland government". This is how they spend their money that was supposed to be for water well.
Strange, I've driven my Tesla S 70D about 15 000 kilometres since Christmas and the touchscreen definitely works. So, channelling Douglas Adams, presumably the author has some new meaning for "don't work".
This is how it works pretty much everywhere, state taxes are only for specific things (not income tax).

Or at least the states should have a double taxation treaty (but of course that would make sense so it's not going to be implemented)
The Exchange: Coco Chanel and the Nazi Party (2011)
With homomorphic encryption, you have to trust Intel to build CPUs that calculate correctly. Except for FDIV style bugs (which are pretty rare, and it's telling that FDIV, from the mid-90s is the go-to example), they mostly managed to maintain that trust.

With SGX you have to trust Intel to build CPUs that isolate securely. Meltdown, Spectre (multiple variants), bugs in Intel TXT and ME, and that's only some of the headline issues from the last 4 years.
Well, I did look at it, but it was difficult to figure out how control-flow is structured. Is every “basic block” a single “el”, or is the CFG structured inside the binary tree? How are variables handled? Are there load expressions? Do you use something similar to phi-nodes to merge values from different branches? How do you do analysis? Do you walk over the expression tree and store the results (e.g. in constant propagation) on the nodes themselves? Do you use a separate cache/hashmap?
