And how is that any better than in the USA right now?
The overhead you are talking about is scoreboard, mainly - clockless CPU cannot assume readiness of the results when issuing commands, and it needs scoreboard of what is ready to issue commands without conflicts.

But scoreboarding allows for most gains of out-of-order execution and is cheap.
Work in police exposes people to many traumatic situations. You may encounter very tragic situations or cases where your efforts to help result in more damages. Facing a gun is traumatic. This work can hurt even the strongest and can ruin their life. I have more difficulties to imagine these people selling their soul just for money. Often it is easier to leave police for better paid private activities.
It's definitely not a hub. I wouldn't recommend trying to find a software job here. However, if you are a software engineer focusing on intellectual pursuits (like writing, math, OSS) and not working, then Hobart is pretty damn good.
Other places that are as cheap and beautiful can have some major downsides in terms of language barriers, safety, looking like a tourist, etc.
Yes, competitive salaries in business centers are 3x higher in the US. It is possible you are not acquainted with current prices.
Ultimately, someone who is in a position where they're defecating in the street and discarding used needles isn't likely to be in a position where they'll be engaging positively with law enforcement.

That kind of thing needs to be treated as the public health problem that it is, with extensive society-wide initiatives to prevent people getting into those situations, and to help them get out once they're in. Law enforcement can play a part in that for sure, but until there's a clear programme it doesn't do much to alleviate the problem in the long term.
It’s a long draw of the bow to go from the US tracking Osama under the guise of a polio campaign to your regular anti science anti vaccine westerner being justified in their pseudoscience.

The answer to your question is the same way trust has always been built (and lost) - micro transactions establishing credibility and mutual trade and dependence, not in paranoia and closing doors, which is sure to only antagonise things

We don't have facts here, just competing claims.

From what I've read such attack would be possible, and I think that if it happened no-one would acknowledge it. This allegedly happened 3 years ago so no-one is going to find physical evidence anyway.

They key is that it would be possible so the important thing here is for everyone to take appropriate defensive measures.
Has anyone moved from a pure software/hardware technical career to wealth management? Do you find your skills useful there?
Not sure if this is "obvious" or not, but a very simple thing I've been doing for the past 15 years is to write a short log entry every time I encounter an especially tricky bug.

I've found this to be a really good way to learn from bugs. There is something in the act of writing it down that makes the lessons of it stick better in my mind.

That will not help you with sand grain sized plants, if they actually are such
That's a highly unrealistic scenario. If any part of that highly romanticized story of how an anticapitalist artist destroyed his highly valued work in protest had any bearing with reality, by now you'd have the work's lawful owner pursuing civil and criminal charges for having destroyed his property.

Yet, all you see is the mainstream media spreading a story as a light-hearted oddity, as if no one was affected by this.

So, the only credible hypothesis is that in fact no one was affected by this, because everyone was in on the scheme and no one expected to ever be negatively impacted by this stunt.
This really needs to change. Do we all need to negotiate raises into our salary requirements? Tell them we expect no less than X% increase each year? Otherwise, what should have been my raise is going straight back to shareholders.

I went through undergrad in NM. Not only did I come out without any student debt, I made a little surplus every semester. I was able to live a good life off around 10k in savings for something like 3 years there too. I think I’d say consider NM. It has pricier areas, but also very affordable areas. It’s got several colleges and two national labs.

There are bummers about NM, but it’s possible to mitigate them if you go in aware.
Interesting. So maybe it is an evolutionarily stable strategy, if you assume it's too hard for the fish to keep track globally of where they are in the shoal (and are therefore limited to strategies where they only react to what's immediately around them). It would be fun to simulate this and see if there are any other strategies that offer an advantage.
Never happened.
€110m is an absolute bargain for the value that it has generated. Any public official who was involved in making that decision/deal and facilitating the influx of talent/ideas/energy/capital deserves a medal! Lisbon is buzzing now more than ever, thanks in no small part to Web Summit. It was good before, now it's incredible. Say what you want about Web Summit (that's a whole other rant!) it is unquestionably "net positive" to the Portuguese economy and the lives of tens of thousands of people.
As a European, it's really sad to see that nothing at all can be done about all this shooting, homicides and let's not forget suicides by means of firearms.
As a UK citizen, I have spent quite a bit of time in the US, and offhand I can remember being pulled over by the police three times (once because my tail-lights were not working, and twice for speeding). In each case the interaction was calm and professional, and I didn't feel at all threatened.

However, I suspect that if I were a different colour (and perhaps spoke with a different accent), or if the same encounters had happened in a time and place where the officer already felt stressed, the dynamic might have been quite different.
>You have a duty to shareholders to more or less do what everyone else does.

This is a insidious myth that has never been uphed in court. It's just an excuse managers use.
Workflows being a dime a dozen in both the software industry and all industries more generally, saying that any word makes a workflow “something that should be adhered to” seems like an overstatement. It's absolutely clear that the author thinks it is worth adhering to, however.

“-driven” doesn't imply demand, it implies the center of a given workflow. antirez is stating that this approach (which is more than just taking notes, since taking notes just means “writing stuff down” and says nothing about interruption) boosts productivity, and that it is centered around the process of stashing thoughts and observations without interrupting the present task. He also outlines why he thinks this is the case.

You are mischaracterizing the blog post by underspecifying what it says, then attacking the mischaracterization… I'm not sure that approach tracks with your claim to care about semantics. It's not just words that matter, it's also how they're collected into titles, sentences, paragraphs, documents, and how they exist in their broader context (software industry parlance, in this case).
American cops are cowards of the highest degree. They can't even subdue a naked man in a bathtub without tasers? I mean such cowardice deserves a medal and much more offensive terminology I'm going to refrain from here. Instead they murder an innocent man and when held accountable use the bullshit excuse that they were trying to help. How fucking disgusting. The neighbor who called the cops also deserves blame. He lives in America and should have known that calling the police in any situation is likely to make it worse. But ultimately it's these officers who know nothing about helping others that murdered him for no reason other than that's what they are trained to do. I guess we're still far, far away from holding such cowardly scum responsible for their actions. Maybe one day we'll care enough about our own citizens to police our police and hold them to higher standards than everyone else rather than lower. I'm not holding my breath for it though. In many ways they are a symptom of our hateful society.
Let me guess:

You're a white person?

And yes, I think that has very much to do with how you're approached by police in the US.

IIRC there was a dutch-language version of logo. That said I personally learned english by trying to parse the manual for game maker and asking my parents lots of questions. Of course I found out many many years later that a dutch-language version of the documentation was available from a third party.
I wasn't the one who claimed wealth is equivalent to corruption. That was OP. And I think it's rather dubious to believe that more wealth equals more corruption. Trump's wealth was made in the private sector. The Clinton's wealth was made through their public sphere influence.

Besides holding the presidency from '93 to '01, the Clintons moved on to the Senate, where Hillary sat for 8 years, before joining Obama as Secretary of State for 4 years. The Clintons have had deep influence in the Democrat party for the last several decades.

I think it's still valuable since we have tons of waste in our orbit that has already proven to be problematic. Maybe it's not cost effective if you only consider the cost of sending a new satellite vs the costs of repairing an old one, but if you take into account the reduced waste and the problems you avoid by having a cleaner orbit it may be worth the extra money.
That's no different to any other major European city. The difference was that in Barcelona you had to have pre-booked, otherwise things that usually aren't ticketed in cities like Amsterdam or London like parks aren't fully accessible to you.

We still had a lovely time, but when you've got limited time in a place it's worth noting that you need to book things before you go. People that like to set plans to see certain things at certain times might find themselves disappointed, even if they were happy to pay a bit extra to book on the day.
Is an intelligence agency having files on public figures considered "shady"? I'd have thought it was an important part of their job. Provided any juicy information isn't misused for political ends, of course.
Maybe the taxes are the problem. Laws are written by politicians and bureaucrats. Naturally as officers of the government, they rationalize an ever expanding government.

Not true for Monaco. They will go to such lengths as watching the CCTV footage that had been recorded of you in order to see if you are actually present in the country.
Montreal is a great choice indeed. I am originally from Europe (Germany, short time in Holland) and have built tech companies on the West Coast (Vancouver, SF). After a decade on the West Coast, I moved to Montreal in 2010. Really enjoyable city with a great mix of high quality of life, culture and massive diversity (which in my opinion - even more so that universities - is the cause of the "intellectual" environment that you seek).

My outfit, TandemLaunch, has built 20+ deep tech companies in Montreal with people from all over the globe (some 40+ countries of origin). Depending on your background, there might be opportunities for you in one of those. Our companies range from early stage to those with 100+ employees so there are opportunities along the entire risk/reward spectrum (see here http://www.tandemlaunch.com/#portfolio). Obviously there are plenty of other great companies in Montreal as well.

Happy to help with any local insights if you are considering this beautiful city (including with immigration since we have literally done this 100+ times).

cheers

The date of Brexit at present is 29th March. One worst case scenario is that all aeroplanes entering/leaving the country are grounded. I think it's unlikely but it has been discussed in the press https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/mar/09/brexit-airl...

You'll probably be fine as a tourist but as I said, it's the uncertainty that's the problem. If it were me, I'd leave a week or two before 29th March.
No. Bolsonare is the expected outcome with or without the Internet.
It should have a video showing the code the process and the sort of apps it builds.

I’m not doing the tutorial.

I’m sufficiently interested to give it a 30 second video. If that looks interesting I might look at more involved videos about some aspect.
> Single precision floats loose precision as coordinates get larger, hence "floating" point precision.

I've plenty of experience with floating point numbers.

> Translating to origin and/or rescaling only works to a limited extent and isn't a very robust solution.

Curious as to why you think this isn't the solution? double precision just kicks the can farther down the line, whereas a fixed point offset origin gives you the "best" of both (albeit with slightly more code)

> Yes, that is why you convert ints to doubles for processing and only use floats for tasks where limited accuracy is okay, e.g. rendering.

Right, so you store as 32 bit values, and do the processing in double precision, but convert to single precision for rendering (from double precision)? So you were never going to store them as float on disk.
I'm not Aussie (yet), but I think you could pull it off!
I'd happily sign such a form when dealing with the police. At least it would give me some prospect of legal recourse if the data was ultimately found to be being used in any other way.
Even if they did want policemen of high personnal integrity, the lack of consequences for the bad ones (it's painfully obvious that a badge is a licence to kill consequence free at least once, as long as you're smart enough to do it to a minority) means people for which such a situation is attractive will flock to the profession.

Tests and interviews can only weed out so many of them.

Also specific to the US is the multitude of law enforcement agencies, meaning one bad cop fired from his jobs is very likely to be able to be hired in another agency, as long as he escaped condemnation, which they usually do...

By making the position attractive to would be killers, and not having an efficient mechanism to get them out of the system for good once the issues are identified, it was pretty obvious what would happen...

Some time ago a manager of a portuguese football team who was a former intelligence officer was caught paying off tax service workers to gain access to spending habits of some referees. His goal was to use that info to blackmail them to submission and force them to favour his team.

No, the idea isn't to electrocute the victim. The whole point of it is to as far as possible give a non-lethal shock. If you're going to electrocute someone it would be easier to just shoot them with a conventional firearm.

Organized nonpartisan groups like Represent.us are working to remove money from politics, at least to the degree that it is possible. Campaign finance reform is a part of their strategy, as is broad anti-corruption legislation. Investing in groups like this would be a good way for someone with resources to apply them positively.
That Guardian article switched between the various environmental harms of meat production in a confusing way. Here is what Wikipedia has to say with respect to greenhouse gasses:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_meat_p...

From the article:

>At a global scale, the FAO has recently estimated that livestock (including poultry) accounts for about 14.5 percent of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions estimated as 100-year CO2 equivalents.

>A PNAS model showed that even if animals were completely removed from US agriculture and diets, US GHG emissions would be decreased by 2.6%(or 28% of agricultural GHG emissions). This is because of the need to replace animal manures by fertilizers and to replace also other animal coproducts, and because livestock now use human-inedible food and fiber processing byproducts.

So if you live in the US, decreasing meat consumption will help significantly, but people in the US use a heck of a lot of GHG producing energy in other forms:

Fairly sure there are laws like that (you can't leave random garbage on the street, no public nudity, etc?), just no active enforcement. Because it's not practical to patrol all the time, everywhere. Tackling this problem needs to be done on other levels.
That's not right. USA Antitrust law was invented around 1900 to fight excesses is service of profile.

A corporation could be chartered for any reason. What is true is that in the early 19th century there was a legal pretense that corporations had to justify their charter to the government in order to be approved and renewed.

One of the very first corporations in USA was Alexander Hamilton's bank, that ran a
water utility as a front operation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Manhattan_Company

The old days weren't as honorable as the stories whitewash.

But not-just-for-profit corporations have existed for a long time.

A month per year worked is awesome, but that seems insanely expensive. How can anyone afford to hire anyone with that risk?
Hey, that's good feedback thanks. We did a little video/gif of the deployment process (https://alan-platform.com/pages/tuts/getting-started.html#bu...). At some point we'll do a full walk through video, but time-wise it's expensive to do.

The flow is pretty bare bones though, so if you're used to a text editor and command line tools it'll be pretty familiar.
Rebuilding electronics from original plans which are 30 years old will be very hard. Components will have gone out of production, and minor design changes to accommodate new replacements will lead to a cascade of things which need recertifying.
What's "deep tech"?
This is quite funny. People are basically saying 'think about your problem, do not follow the hype' and that feels like a revelation. Says something about state of the industry, doesn't it?
I agree, intelligence officers are supposed to investigate anyone who might pose a threat to the nation, and a politician in bed with foreign powers or corporations is a very dangerous threat, moreso than a couple of idiots who might go on murder-suicide runs.

These organizations wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't kept thorough files on politicians.
My sister lives there (though she doesn't work in tech) and massively prefers it to Budapest. Her main issues are that the summers are hotter than she find pleasant and that politics is moving in quite a right-wing/anti-immigrant direction (the latter was also one of the reasons she moved from Budapest).
> If you travel to the US, please do not fear violence from the police.

The police (and other uniformed services) are the main reason I would not ever come near the US. I value personal safety more than a few picturesque national parks, and China as a tourist destination does provide both.
Which are apparently doing nothing, because this problem has been around for quite a long time (over half a decade by now, I believe?).

I see comments like that every once in a while, and I always come back to something that one of my professors told me a long time ago. If it took you like five minutes of thinking about it to come up with it, it's a safe bet that a) folks who are paid to work on this stuff full-time have already thought about it and b) that someone already figured out how to work around it.
Buenos Aires

Pros

- U$D goes a long way, specially now after the latest devaluation, and if your income is in dollars, you are mostly not affected by inflation.

- Big English speaking crowd in Buenos Aires in particular.

- Intellectual community: there is a good ecosystem of startups at this moment plus one of the biggest universities in South America: Universidad de Buenos Aires

- It's easy to establish yourself legally: is quite easy to get your temporary resident status, just do the paperwork and you are set.

- a bunch of pluses: quite cosmopolitan city with a lot of cultural activities, lots of diversity.

- the food :P

Cons

- economic crisis: actually, this could be a pro if you have U$D, we locals are used to this kinda of stuff but for some people this can be a bit scary.

- Buenos Aires is a big city and can be a bit chaotic.
