Why Democracies Are Turning Against Chinese Influence
$300USD is almost exactly 10KTHB, which is minimum wage for Thailand.

I've discovered that for a lot of things, costs in Thailand aren't specifically cheaper than in western countries, there are just extra cheaper options.

A lot of cheap apartments here are really studios, which have the most minimal or no kitchen at all. A lot of working-class Thai's don't really cook, they rely a lot on street vendors and/or markets for meals. I've been living in a house since we've been here so I don't know from personal experience but I looked quickly for apartments in Chiang Mai. The only things under 4K THB/month (~$120 US) are studios about 30sq.m. E.g. https://www.thailand-property.com/condo-for-rent-in-chiang-m...

A 'single serve' from one of these places locals eat from (street/market vendors) is usually around 30-40 THB (~$1US), but Thai people don't really eat big meals, so if you're used to American portions you may find you eat two serves per meal (or adjust and start snacking more during the day, as most locals do).

If you want to "eat out" at a restaurant, it's going to be much more expensive. If my wife and I go to a sit-down restaurant with western-style food, it's usually around 1K THB for the meal (~$30). If you want something that's much less common and relies on more imported things, e.g. a good steak, that's going to set you back 600 THB minimum per serve.

Travel will depend a lot on where you want to go, and how. Public transport is apparently pretty cheap, but you may reconsider using it once you see it.

You'll also find that most tourist attractions (both private and state owned) will charge you more as a foreigner. I'm able to get around it in some places by showing my Thai drivers licence, but be prepared for higher prices. Sometimes (usually private places) you won't even see the difference because the local price will be written all in Thai, including Thai numerals (which are not common, usually they use arabic numerals like we do).

My phone contract is I think 400THB a month, but I hardly use the allowance - I have unlimited VDSL at home (and work from home). I'm not sure what sort of data/call usage you'd expect to need, but a lot of packages will e.g. promote "free social network data" because that's what the majority of people use - but if you want to work from it, you'll need to allow for that.

I think it'd be tough for anyone who doesn't just assimilate into a low-income Thai lifestyle to get by on less than $1K USD per month. That's still only recent uni graduate salary here. It may sound like a big jump from your original goal, but think about it this way: $1k is about $33 a day. For two people, who want to do more than just basic survival, I think anything less is unrealistic.

Edit: grammar mistake, and errant K on steak cost.

I think this is the main point and something I can relate to. It's not only a problem I see in software like Jupyter but primarily in Excel. Yet people seem to love this approach.
A very thorough and relevant piece of network measurement work! Awesome.

An interesting result not related to the title is some scary disagreements between popular geoip databases and the active probes the authors used(§6.2):

> All five of the IP-to-location databases are more likely to agree with the providers’ claims than either active-geolocation approach is. As discussed earlier, we are inclined to suspect that this is because the proxy providers have influenced the information in these databases. We have no hard evidence backing this suspicion, but we observe that there is no pattern to the countries for which the IP-to-location databases disagree with provider claims. This is what we would expect to see if the databases were being influenced, but with some lag-time.

The paper does call out the geoip databases in question (DB-IP, Eureka, IP2Location, IPInfo, MaxMind) -- but not the VPN providers, which is unfortunate.

Also, the code looks quite good: https://github.com/zackw/active-geolocator
Are you complaining about R or R Markdown? Because neither assertion is true for either language.
No, they said they're unviable on laptops because of having to lift your hands up. Now they're pushing the iPad Pro with a keyboard that props it up to stand vertically, without a touchpad, requiring the user to lift their hands up more often than, say, a Surface.
That doesn't solve the case for when you get a new device or reinstall the app. Any keys you had are lost.
They probably got that info when they bought their oscillators. From there it should be pretty straight forward to include it in testing procedures.
Yes we use helium sensors for analyzing diving gas mixtures. They infer helium concentration based on the thermal conductivity of the gas; there's no chemical reaction.
Reticulate was a major improvement in the data science workflow. We now have full interoperability between R, Python, and Julia (or Scala if you're on Spark). The ability to mix languages is really valuable.

I feel like a failure, compared to all my friends and people on HN who show high salaries for engineers, but I suppose we only see wages of the successful ones, and I reckon I’m super angry with life which is a vicious circle for employers.

Your general concern is commendable, but some content-lite comments are worse than others, and sometimes just making nice is more important than calling it out when a comment is largely benign.
I don't think we should stay alone.

I have been doing this mistake for too long to be honest. Now one of the best focus I've is literally speaking with the client directly and having a bunch of people who do not specifically work on the project but follow me in my adventure by coaching me.

I can't remember the article, but I read somewhere on HN that a good way to start being a consultant in the tech world is to stop selling your code.

I figured that it is just the same going from TMA to SASS except you are now renting the code instead of selling it.

So:

- Learning new things
- Thrive for the ability to put into question anything properly
- Getting people around that understand what you are trying to do (CUT down those that are toxic, not those that might just have a different opinion, this is the hard part where you need to be able to put your ego aside and where picking the right persons will help a lot)
- Go meet your clients !
- Do not follow trends
Oh and try new stuff

Read: stiffling free speech and opinion unless you agree with what Google believes, which isn't the case in most of the world.
Yes you can. "a word or phrase applied to an object to which it is not literally applicable." 'Edge' applied to an object which is not literally the edge. Metaphor.

You can't just claim the definition is not the definition and expect people to side with you over multiple dictionaries.

That's everyone's understanding. There is nothing metaphorical about it.

Literally everyone? Or figuratively everyone? You think the Apple marketing people cannot see the bezel and honestly think is not there?

Patched already perhaps?
Not in the next 10 years. Further than that I don't know. SSD won't be cheaper than HDD per GB in 5 years time, the cost of building Flash and scaling down Flash, Multi Layer Flash, 2.5D / 3D/ 4D Flash ( What ever the manufacture wants to call them ) are also going up. Return of investment is taking longer ( Even with the previous high NAND price ). Moore's Law is dead, and it is not only just CPU.

Theoretically speaking there should be a point where the TCO of NAND Flash would cross HDD. But as NAND scales down, it also reduces its write cycle.

I was never a believer in HAMR, the technologies parent mentioned which Seagate announced in 2012, the idea just seems too unrealistic. The approach WD taking MAMR is much better using Magnetic Field. BPM is also far off, but BPM has been in research for nearly a decade, and MAMR should be here in 2019. All of these R&D will come to fruition in the next few years, where we expect HDD to scale to 100TB in the next 10 years.
The Importance of Daily Study
There is also the entire bend where these are taking off in a way that doesn't make sense.

It makes perfect sense. Just not to a lot of HN readers.

The average HN reader is approaching this from a perspective of "I am a professional programmer who might occasionally dabble in scientific computing, and therefore I hate this thing because it's not a professional programmer's tool designed by and for professional programmers according to the best practices of professional programmers".

The people who are actually using notebooks, meanwhile, are not professional programmers. They're scientists who increasingly have to do programming as part of their science. And notebooks are a godsend for them. We don't need to drag them all the way into our world; we need to pay attention to what they actually want, need, and find useful, and accept that it's going to differ from what we want, need, and find useful.
What does it take to show that this is totally unacceptable?

Has this place become such a cesspit that you can't countenance the possibility I'm simply supporting your position and backing it up with evidence? Perhaps I should have added the word 'yes' as the first word.

And someone felt the need to down vote a reply simply containing evidence that proves a commenter correct? I despair sometimes.

The irony of this is palpable. The communist government, who got there trumpeting this exact ideology, would be stopped by the exact same thing? Is this the case of those who dont know history are doomed to repeat it?

Juniors I know all need to focus on the error message: read it, understand it, and then apply the scientific method : formulate one hypothesis, test it, analyse results, rince and repeat. Each experiment should other a path to what's next.

They are also forbidden to stay stuck more than one hour without requesting feedback(actually that's a rule for everyone on my team).

Quoting you:

> Yeah, but at the same time, it wasn't enough to set off the alarms for low oxygen content, which is at least a little disturbing, right?

First, alarms for low oxygen content are set for people and no other reason. There can be alarms for high oxygen content, but they are extremely rare and would likely not be present in very many places in a hospital.

Second, why in the world would low oxygen be a danger to an iPhone?

You can't make a complete non-sequitur of a logic leap and then expect everybody to be on board your train of thought.
Serves me right for repeating what I have read multiple times elsewhere without researching it. Thanks!
Also vim editing is restricted to editor window in the current session. So you can't paste from registers in console or in other RStudio sessions.

But its still much better experience to use RStudio markdown than Jupyter for me.
I like it, except these two points:

1. You're asking a "bootstrapper" to reimburse up to $5K in attorney fees (in addition to their own fees), while regular Delaware C-Corp startups can incorporate and raise pre-seed or seed up to a several millions without involving lawyers at all. Much more capital efficient.

2. > if we invest $100k with a 4x, or $400k Return Cap. The company pays back $100k, so there’s $300k left to pay, then decides to raise a round. We base our conversion on the $300k remaining to be paid, not the $100k we invested.

While this might be fair, it looks like double-dipping, especially if you have a low cap. There should be an option to repay it from the new investment without conversion.
I think you are right. I also worked on a bill-tracking software and one of the first things we noticed is that each company has their own way of rounding totals. There is no one correct way. For example one company rounds each line to three digits internally for the total but prints only two digits on each line.

For my software I started using decimaljs for the highest precision but in the end it never made any difference cent wise even when the payments go in the millions.
It’s no longer required; High Sierra and Mojave both officially support eGPUs.
Don't worry, I think tech salaries in the US are just massively higher than in Europe. I am not sure why, probably they are just in general better at capitalism, i.e. the companies extract more value from the market, engineers actually switch jobs for a better salary and demand pay raises.

See on glassdoor, developer salaries in Berlin and Paris are 45k€ (and usually no options) while $90k in Seattle.
PC Gaming has been the driving force behind recent PC Shipment improvement. And I see iPad Pro, with a Magic Keyboard and Mouse as opportunity that could finally disrupt the PC Gaming business. Or Gaming that requires Keyboard and mouse. PUBG, C&C, Civ, Diablo, Online Gaming. The iPad Pro could now run all these with an external monitor.

Basically it is Apple and iOS that is limiting the iPad Pro Usage. Give me a BT 5.0 Keyboard and Mouse, along with a Sublime Editor I could even replace my MacBook Pro.

It is the main reason you have to be careful with working with liquid nitrogen in closed rooms: the danger of displacing too much oxygen. While our breathing air consists of 80% nitrogen, when you evaporate large amounts of liquid nitrogen (like 10 liters in an instant) in a closed room, there is the danger of displacing oxygen to a dangerous level. Working with smaller amounts (like 1 liter) is quite safe though.
It is the highest end i3. Quad core 3.6 ghz is nothing to sneeze at. I was pricing out something comparable on newegg (same i3, same quality nvme ssd, same high-grade motherboard class), and didn’t end up that far below apple’s price.

I’m eyeing the i5 though, with upgradeable ram and egpu / fast storage through tb3 that one could last me a decade.
That doesn't sound so bad. When I was younger, I probably spent $2000 into Yu-gi-oh! cards and tournaments over the course of a couple years. An hour of Counter-Strike each day wasn't that unusual, either. I have very fond memories of my time playing those games.

The question is whether they are happy with their choices.
Not really - the same tax dollars buy less service and infrastructure when the workers and suppliers also need to function in high CoL areas. A $2.5bn mile of subway in New York isn't a priori better than a $600bn mile of subway in Seattle.

This is certainly an intresting post and i likethe OP attitude. We should be totally transparent about our compensation as he did. Salary is just the result of a negotiation, nothing else, in the majority of cases it does not reflect anything more than your "perceived" value.

Just to clarify, salaries in India differ VASTLY across companies, FAANG or otherwise, depending on whether the org looks at the India center as a cost-saving measure, or as a secondary RnD center. And also, if the org is more services based (the notorious Infy/Wipro/Accenture types) or actually building products. The latter almost always pays more.

I'm a non-IIT Masters graduate with 3.5 years of experience and I work at the India center of a non-FAANG US-based company, and I make more than @sures made with 10 YoE (leaving aside stock options as well).

Salaries are higher in cities like Bangalore and Pune, but even there the salary ranges are very varied, so it's difficult to get a representative sample. Funnily, if you check on Glassdoor (for what it's worth), you'll find companies (both Indian and US/UK-based) where Director of Engineering in India as much as I make with <4 years of experience.

Also, Indian companies are notorious for asking previous salary details/payslips etc before making offers. As such, if you start off at the lower end of the spectrum, you spend a lifetime playing catch up. Usual hikes between job switches is about 1.4-1.6x, so the 2x jump @sures got in 2015 is also not that common (Well negotiated @sures!) :)
Read the article before posting random polemics, this is about dealing with managers credibly accused of workplace harassment.
Googlers internally are like children with a lot of petty squabbles. There are some with quite 'far out' views, and rather than accept differences of opinion, they like to squabble about it, pick sides, get offended, and, more often than not, fire a bunch of people.

Googles CEO has the very hard task of trying to calm the crying ones, punish the ones stirring the pot, all while not making others stomp off because they think the whole thing is unfair.

This is amongst the things stacked against people trying to do business in the UK. I know a distributor that wanted a small warehouse with office space. They had the capital to buy and build. But in the ex- industrial that land of the UK no land could be found, despite the acres of tumble down old factories! There is a government controlled project for anyone wanting to build a huge factory, but nothing smaller.

One of the problems in the UK is land-banking and a tax system that encourages you to invest in land and leave it as wasteground.
