Talking about taxable incomes for the top .01% is silly. You should google the paradise papers or just do some basic reading. Wage workers have incomes that are a function of their job, the top .01% have income from a variety of sources and probably have tax specialists to help them adjust their income up or down to be most favorable given prevailing economic situation.
Yes, but their emulation needs to be performed in lockstep, normally per clock tick or at least externally visible state change, to accurately model their interaction with respect to timing.

Threading in that case would likely mean several orders of magnitude of performance degradation.

Some German states own parts of VW and clearly would prefer to believe it to be honest mistake VW has learned from. No one should be surprised that the Deutsche Bank are criminals either. I dont think those cases are anything more then corruption preventing proper prosecution. Big corporations simply get away with a lot of stuff if its politically inconvenient. I mean the HSBC laundered billions for drug cartels. Heckler and Koch breached weapon embargos. Non of that is in any way a grey area but plain and simply criminal conspiracy.
As compared to a mature framework like Scrapy. Transistor is a lot lighter than Scrapy and easier to grok the entire codebase, while having less magic. I wanted a scraping framework with useful classes/abstractions which I could subclass/override, customize to my specific needs, and then run tightly integrated with our gevent-based Flask web app.

Bottom line is, Scrapy's codebase is so big and also running Twisted, which I'm not familiar with. So I kind of threw my hands in the air on that integration and instead decided to take a few weeks to write my own framework only with what I needed, while also using gevent. Learned a lot and overall it was a great exercise and will serve us well a long time.

Transistor module itself has about ~6,000 LOC including full support for Splash headless browser/javascript rendering service and Crawlera service. While the base Scrapy framework repo alone has ~30,000 LOC, with further middleware repos required to integrate Splash/Crawlera.

That said, the current Transistor implementation doesn't really compare with Scrapy as a crawler, in that Transistor is like a surgical knife to get the specific data you are after, while Scrapy can be more suited to cataloging, following-all-the-links.

Where Transistor shines right now is spinning up a few hundred workers, each with a scrape task, with each task being a term (like a part-number) which is searched on a website. Transistor get's the job done well in this case.
> But it has little to do with the main concerns that the students tried to voice (without being listened to).

I mean, they certainly seem to have been listened to by Christakis. And it certainly seems like their concern is, in fact, addressed by the point about free speech.

What do you view those concerns were, in specific, and why do you think they were not "listened to" during a two hour meeting? Or are you just expressing a generalised approval for the protestors and disapproval of Christakis?

Most job ads are like this - laundry lists.
Speaking only for myself I'd go for an ad that talks more about underlying technology principles rather than an endless list of specifics (e.g. OOP knowledge instead of C++ or java and continuous integration flows instead of jankins or travis). Then I'd try to draw an accurate picture of what the role involves, describing the tech stack actually used and a bit of the roadmap ahead with regards to the product. Lastly I'd mention how we work, e.g. agile, scums, etc.

Most important thing is accuracy/honesty. Nothing worse than overselling a backwater tech or a bureaucratic mess as a dream job.

PS: Avoid boilerplate phrases that constitute 'sweatshop-smells' like "passionate developer".
This does not sound like what (little, I admit) I know about unions. If the union is in charge of hiring, promotion and even the content of your work, it seems the union is effectively running the company.

Dutch unions, as far as I know, negotiate employment contracts, employment standards and general working conditions with employers and the government. A lot of Dutch economic decisions are made in a committee with representatives of the government, employer organisations, and the unions. In many industries there are standards about what someone in a certain position should get paid, but hiring, promotions and bonuses are based on performance.

Union membership is also not mandatory, but some employers encourage it, and unions provide services for their members.

This seems to me like the right way to do unions, but stories about unions in other countries (the US in particular) often come across as completely nuts.
For long calls I often alternate them, charging one while I talk on the other one.

I am a little disappointed in Apple for not adding storage to these though, it wouldn’t be very hard to add a few gigabytes to them and then they would work even without your phone and it would be the iPod all over again. Missed opportunity by Apple for sure.

Yeah, but blame that on the lawyers who wanted to cash in on this new regulation. I think only _very few_ people/business owners actually took the time to read the GDPR and think about whether all of that even applies to them.

I ride my bike with my airpods (using only the right side so I can hear cars behind me), and I've had them fall out once, when I was messing around and hitting a curb cut to bunny hop off of.

If I'm sweating they're more prone to fall out, but I have silicone tips that I can put on if I need to.

Also, you can buy a single replacement airpod for $70 which isn't a great price, but it's at least on option.

The new reactor completions are tails of the nuclear craze years ago, but it seems that the current attitude to nuclear starts is not so excited: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612564/chinas-losing-its-...

Central quote:

"The 2011 meltdown at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi plant shocked Chinese officials and made a strong impression on many Chinese citizens. A government survey in August 2017 found that only 40% of the public supported nuclear power development."

"The bigger problem is financial. Reactors built with extra safety features and more robust cooling systems to avoid a Fukushima-like disaster are expensive, while the costs of wind and solar power continue to plummet: they are now 20% cheaper than electricity from new nuclear plants in China, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Moreover, high construction costs make nuclear a risky investment."

The value of having confirmed appointees in those positions is not necessarily their native technical expertise. As you’ve noted, that expertise can be provided by career employees. The value of political appointees is the political clout they carry. Given that they’ve been appointed directly by the President and confirmed by the Senate, it is much harder (or politically fraught) to simply threaten or replace them when they take an unpopular stand like “let’s ground an airplane.”

The US government is a complex system, and like most complex systems it works best when you, a non-expert, don’t randomly yank out pieces and declare them unnecessary.

I'm sure they thought about it but my experience with Apple earphones are they don't fit my ears and subsequently fall out.

If it was as easy as a "1 size fits all" then other manufacturers releasing equivalently prices earphones wouldn't go down the multiple attachments route I described.

It's also worth mentioning that having those rubber / foam attachments does have an added benefit in that they contribute to noise cancelling so you don't need to crank the earphones as loud when in noisy locations. Which is healthier for your hearing.
to be clear, I was meaning 160+ as in ... they keep functioning forever because they're wired. Sorry - didn't convey that very well. The battery - initially felt clunky - more than makes up for it with the noise cancelling (and that typically lasts 8+ hours on a charge).
Yes, maybe once per year.
Should be noted that besides the fine they have to change how they operate in regards to the subject matter (which they always have, as described in the article).
It really is my fault, but it is not like they are dripping in sweat. It is just the tiny sheen of sweat left over after running and my desire to immediately put them in the case after using to avoid losing them. Now I wipe them down and leave them out for a while before putting them back in the case. This makes them much less handy.
IMO, it's a waste of time unless:

- You have a bunch of money sitting around and want a structured environment to pursue your knowledge goals.

- Your employer will reimburse expenses and is supportive you pursuing this for a few years.

My wife was able to do the second option in her field and enjoyed the experience immensely -- she found school much more rewarding after having the experience of working and the wisdom of not being 18-22. :) But having a 75% reimbursement is what made it possible, there was no ROI to justify a huge financial outlay.
You can buy silicone tips that fit over airpods, they're just inconvenient if you need to use them all the time.
You might want to reread the Wikipedia article and tone down a bit:

Check out the abstract syntax tree on the right:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree

It has a node which is a BRANCH and which has three relations CONDITION, IF-BODY, ELSE-BODY.

In an s-expression this is just

(if (> a b)
(setq a (- a b))
(setq b (- b a))

Thus there is no representation that IF is a branching expression, there is no representation that A and B are variables. There is no representation that > is a compare op. And so on.

The s-expressions are just nested lists of tokens without any idea what the tokens refers to or what language construct it stands for. All we know is what the tokens are and a hierarchy. A is a symbol, but what kind we don't know: it could be a data object, a variable name, a function name, a goto tag, a name of a class, a name of a type, ...). In the abstract syntax tree the > is identified as a compare op, IF is identified as a branch, A is identified as a variable identifier, ...

The Lisp reader also does not create that information. It just creates a data structure, which could be anything, any kind of data.

> Uncontrolled immigration is what made America great

A massive claim. Care to support it?

As far as I was aware, much of America's success is a simple accident of history, notably: having a massive virtually unoccupied continent with enormous unexploited natural resources, a single unified market with single currency, having no land border with a hostile foreign entity capable of posing a genuine threat, and taking advantage of (or as some argue deliberately creating the circumstances for) the rest of the world being smashed by two world wars.

> They had control of the aircraft. The controls were never inoperative.

I think you're missing the point. In hindsight it's easy to say "this is what you could/should have done", and some are knowledgeable or lucky enough to either find the solution themselves, or have someone tell them before it's too late.

In two instances this wasn't the case. The pilots weren't able to regain control of the aircraft. And that lack of control, with the full knowledge of impending doom, must be a terrifying feeling.
I feel that many of these pseudo-secure, proprietary enhancements to email create a false sense of security for non-tech-savvy users.

This is very counterintuitive. Startups are valued based on discounting the future cash flows of when they (may) get big. Some of that is risk, some is the underlying risk-free.

Let’s say the govt rate is 6% and the risk is 6%. If you’re discounting cash flows from 10 years out (when the company is full sized) then every future dollar is 1/(1.12^10) dollars today. If the riskfree rate is 2% then that future dollar is worth 1/(1.08^10) - a lot more! Since startups have no cash flows today, their value is all a risk adjusted bet in future cash.

Another intuition is when you need funds, it’s best to get them when money is cheap. (The lower the interest rate, the less you have to pay later for money today)

Note - this isn’t precise, and there are exceptions, but generally I’ve thought that startups do well with low rates.

Keep in mind I'm not shilling for Trisquel--I could just as easily push Ubuntu or Mint if I cared enough to reformat the flash drive on my membership card. The demo usually comes up organically if someone mentions that they're either frustrated with Windows or that they have an old computer/laptop kicking around that's too slow to run anything modern--that's when I tend to say, "Oh, let me see--maybe I can breathe some new life into it."

With that said, the membership card takes a trivial amount of space in my wallet, so I don't exactly have to "plan" to pull it out. Keeping a FOSS-approved wifi dongle in my pocket at all times on the off-chance I might need to show it off would be slightly more burdensome.

Right, and doesn't the echo of CLO and CDO give the whole thing a feeling of intent? "How could we make a thing similar to 2008 happen and capitalize?" E.g.:

If those "investors" are pension funds or even 401ks, isn't this just a clever way of looting them disguised as a market phenomenon?

For dynamic languages you can only get a 10x speedup if you have a JIT doing speculative type-based optimizations. If you replace the interpreter with a typical ahead of time compiler you will at most get around a 2x speedup (mostly from saving on opcode dispatch overhead). At worst it may not even be worth the extra compilation time and memory usage.
