I visited Berlin a few times and it seemed like a nice place to live.

Don't forget that you want to visit your family in India. I think in Germany you typically get more vacation. Also consider the flight time. Berlin is much closer to India than Toronto.

An interesting non-standard choice for a country to immigrate to is Japan. Tokyo is a fun place with lots of foreigners. Applying for a visa is quick and reasonable, which is the complete opposite of US.

I found that after you have a certain amount in your bank account, you become one of those annoying rich people who tell others that money doesn't give you happiness and there other important things in life.
My experience in undergrad was that more often than not people who dropped out did it because they didn't want to put the work into school. An acquaintance of mine told me he was dropping out because school was "too much work". I'm not saying that dropping out of college is a bad thing, but the reason why one drops out of college is telling.
Or maybe you were lied to. Do giant corporations and politicians lie?
It is bold to imply that what tesla does is anything but directly harmful towards the goal of ending human driving.

Tesla and uber do a terrific job of pushing the acceptance of self driving and risking postponing that with their recklessness.

That is not what the article says happened:

It’s more than stupidity, it’s a sense of entitlement.

The other really good point I read about a while back is one of jurisdiction. Your isp is essentially guaranteed to be and operate in your country, giving your government jurisdiction over your ISP's information on you. A VPN may be in a different country, making things a hell of a lot more difficult for your government.

Whatever worked is highly unlikely to stop working.

New to software development, are we? That is such a laughably bad assumption that I’ll assume what I think you meant to say is not really what you meant to say.

But I’m glad to know that editing slides works just fine in Excel. From the link, “Gold” means: “Works as well as (or better than) on Windows with workarounds.” The test results say online login crashes. That tells me their certification program doesn’t mean shit.
Exactly - at the current phase of our civilization space travel is pretty much the only thing that makes sense & we shoould use every opportunity we have to make our species (at least) multi-planetary before and internal or external catastrophe closes the currently open window of space travel.

This way we can protect our species from getting wiped out with our single habitat, as well as likely solving all our resource and energy issues with the wastly bigger resources of space compared to what we would have available if we never leave the planet.
Part of the difference is the level of competition with the other students. In math at least, if you want to be in classes with and compete against Putnam winners, there are only 4 or 5 schools you can go to do that.
Glassdoor has made themselves next to meaningless since they'll take money from anyone who wants their bad reviews taken down and honestly we need a new player in the area who actually cares about transparency over taking bribes.

Working for some time in the valley as an east coast Canadian native, I absolutely agree about peanut pay. That being said, in my experience it feels like the quality of life is still higher in Canada. In the valley, it feels around every corner there is a landlord/private healthcare/other event that wants to drain finances "because tech worker". I returned to Canada, and despite a lower salary it feels so much more sustainable.
Ask HN: What are exercises —e.g. brainstorming, planning, etc— you've seen?
One of the most interesting learnings in working with individuals in different industries/professions, has always been the different techniques and exercises to facilitate successful sessions and processes for brainstorming, discovering, planning, designing, scoping, building, maintaining, etc.

That being said, I'd love to hear about your favorite (or recommendable) exercises.

Here are a few of mine:

Discovery:

- Design thinking for discovering solutions/products by first identifying pain points

- Event storming for discovering (software and business) domains, important groups of events, bottlenecks, and allocation of resources

Planning & Building:

- KANBAN and SCRUM used at appropriate times for effective planning and building

Scoping:

- Values, Principles, and Practices to guide prioritization and scoping discussions
Gotta agree.
I’m thinking about buying a screen that has no TV with a basic amazon fire stick (no microphone) for precisely this reason.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
> lots of tritium

I think (combined with the statement about hot things next to cold things) you're overestimating how much fuel there is in the plasma. It's density is about a million times less than air. In most other contexts, that's a very good vacuum. I don't think there are any consequences to a fuel leak, but I could be wrong.

The primary issue is neutron activation. The neutrons from the fusion reaction tends to make inert components of the machine radioactive. Again, short half-lifes, but a concern that needs to be mitigated.
I always tell peole to use offline accounts. Microsoft, in their eternal wisdom, sets your username to your first name when you do the on line account thing. If you're John or Chuck, it's fine, if you have non ascii characters in there, it's not. Some programs crash when saving to C:\Users\Yourname if Yourname contains non asci chars. Some even create a separate user folder with a broken encoding.

It’s a great game, that will ruin your appreciation for basically all space movies.
Speed of light being the ultimate barrier and our own solar system being the way it is (ie: no other habitable planets) means we will never be a "multi-planetary species". Being able to leave the planet for some colonization of the universe is a pipe dream, Star Trek is never going to be real.

We'll have to learn to make do with what's on our planet, instead of continuing on the current path in unrealistic hopes of serving on the USS Enterprise.

Methinks scammers are just getting better at phishing and extortion.

Excuse me if I’m being ignorant but isn’t a quantum computer unable to reverse hashes? Are they going to make a preimage attack or a collision attack on SHA512 for example, by trying all combinations at once?

If hashes are safe, then why not simply base our signatures and other stuff on them? The only thing that may be missing is actual encryption / decryption, but that can be done by XORing with “one-time” pads built from peeling onion layers from hashes.
Wait, wtf. Do you honestly think only rich people are going to space? You know we have highly accomplished people called astronauts and cosmonauts doing scientific research, right?

Hey guys, I am also quite skeptic person, but you judge a product based on an advertisement.

Ads are something for easier understanding. I went trough wp, it says that is someone use their sidechain for private BTC or ETH transaction validator will receive a transaction fee in the same currency.

And regarding ROI, here you are right, it's impossible to evaluate how much you can earn with this node until the token is on open market.

The same was with BTC, the same was with ETH and so on. You never know which project will be next one ;)
Berlin salaries are lower but standards of living are better and immigrating is quite straightforward, especially if you get a job offer. A blue card visa will fast track you to residency. Just make sure you start learning German ASAP, people will tell you that you don't need it in Berlin but it will make your life outside of work so much easier if you can at least speak and read at a basic level.
Generally you would need to learn German. It's possible without, but that would not be that great in a German speaking country...

The implication in the article is that the exhaust gases may not be as significant as the metallic debris that vaporizes in the atmosphere. It sounds very unnatural for the atmosphere to have to deal with this, but here’s an interesting quote regarding meteorites (natural metallic debris):

“Estimates for the mass of material that falls on Earth each year range from 37,000-78,000 tons. Most of this mass would come from dust-sized particles.” http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/about-us/75-our-solar-syste...
Nicely said. That last point tells you why they get support from oil companies. It's empty climate signaling. I'd like to see an oil company bet on nuclear.
My wife has recently had trouble with people parking so close to her that she couldn't get into the car. If her car could have reversed itself it would have been fantastic.

That, or jerks could not park people in (especially when they're heavily pregnant).

After that I just told her to either park in the disabled spots or the mother/child spots. She has more right to them than the lazy boomers and BMW drivers who consider them their private parking spots.
Concord had a very limited number of viable routes which prevented the program from breaking even with the R&D costs. However, the aircraft was operated profitably later on after significant tick price increases.

A 1 hour US to Asia route that charged 50k a seat could likely be viable. That’s ultra first class, but finding ~100 passengers each way per day should be easy. It’s only expanding to more routes that would be problematic.

PS: The fuel costs would actually be comparable to a regular flight. It’s mostly a question of how many trips the rocket could make and how many passengers it could carry.
Do you actually need to be running a domain controller? Or is it local?

I'm sitting typing this on an my Windows 7 PC I built in 2011. Used to game a bit but that declined so the quad core and 16GB in this thing have been more than enough for my needs. It keeps running and I keep it patched.

I've been holding off upgrading to Windows 10 as I wanted to see how Microsoft would handle the cloud/cortana/ad/telemetry nonsense. I'm glad I waited; It'll never run on my home machines. My Linux box is seeing more and more use and my laptop is now running Alpine Linux.

My only gripe is I work in industrial automation, a field who unfortunately embraced Windows as a platform to build their tools on. This is a huge ball and chain that I'd rather not drag around anymore. So I'm still stuck giving my money to these schmucks.

Sigh. Go away Microsoft. Just leave us alone and stop chaining us down with your bullshit. It's been 20+ years of whining about stupid draconian Ms bullshit. I'm so fucking tired of this.

> Sometimes programmers need to know a minimal amount of PHP and JavaScript

I'd say that covers the majority of programming jobs. The problem, though, is that the are a vast number of people who can meet that bar and salaries are bound to collapse to reflect that at some point. What happens to them then?
Ironically perhaps, we seem to be heading that way with cloud computing and single source ecosystems.

So basically the narrative is "I could send humans to space with Spaceship, but I didn't yet. Take my word for it, as without flights we don't have any proof". Stuff like that is the main reason why I my opinion about Musk changed, his other attics and the way Tesla is managing safety relevant things are, as far as I am concerned, just further proof.
I always (probably ignorantly) assumed immigrating to Japan to be difficult based on news articles about tight immigration laws. What is the job market like without speaking Japanese?

Never really crosses my mind. Everyone messes up.

Incompetence is when you don't follow process or review your own work before pushing. Simple.
> I pay for the service so I don’t want to be the product.

I think this is worth thinking about for a bit. The trope is that if you're not paying then you're the product.

But it doesn't follow that if you are paying you are not the product. That depends entirely on business decisions that customers have little visibility into.

For any product you pay for, there may eventually be a decision to extract additional revenue streams by monetizing your data or attention.

The fact that this happened with cable TV and advertising before the era of the internet indicates that this is far from a new pattern. I expect to see it a lot in the next few years.
Understanding a sentence is fundamentally different from recognizing an object. But people are trying to use deep learning to do both.

I agree with most of the article but I think this^^ skips over the different types of networks used to solve perception and language problems. A CNN is very different from say, word2vec, which isn't a very deep network at all.
Analyzing Keyboard Firmware Part 1
Went to Shanghai Expo 2010. Honestly it's a rather uninspiring event.

Exhibitions were primarily organised by countries, which tend to be more particular about some specific culture than visionary about the future.

The theme was "Better city, better life" (subtly different than the Chinese version, which was "Cities make life better"). Technologies demonstrated are far from cutting edge, something like internet-connected air conditioners and large touch-screens.

I think either the Danes or the Dutch put some bikes in their exhibition, which you can ride and feel what it's like to ride in their cities, which is rather fun (a precursor to the current VR hype perhaps?).
Kubernetes is a full time job. If you want to capture 90% of the benefits of containerization without wasting too much time on a complex solution then simply restrict yourself to only use docker with bash scripts and maybe a load balancer if you really want to have HA.

I've found nomad to have a lower complexity than kubernetes but if you cannot directly integrate service discovery into your application then you will need to use a service mesh which is an all or nothing thing but using something like traefik's support for consul means you will have to use regular service discovery alongside the service mesh. It's not a huge burden but there should be a better way.

I would say the final level was reached by Boeing by actually killing people.

> He described the early experiments at JP Morgan, where they needed to calibrate a parameter in their model, so one day JP Morgan did 2500 trades one way, and 2500 trades another way, and by measuring the market response, Shaw had his parameter. He estimated JP Morgan spent about $5 million or so to measure that parameter, and then used that number for years for a many, many fold return on investment. He also said that the next market participant trying to measure that parameter had to spend $100 million to get the same parameter.

almost exactly the story but with a few additional twists, specifically having access to detailed information on client trading flow. Many of the kings of statarb had a past with a direct link to the electronic order desks of major brokerages, PDT and Shaw with MS and the list goes on worldwide. This gives them the insight needed to build models that can detect statistically the difference between trending informational flow and random fleeting uninformed noisy flow which reverts.

As of today these statarb incumbents will be fairly difficult to challenge as they have invested in having superior expensive raw informational data sets and additional the size of their trading gives them private information. However their costs are likely too high so the new game will be to find 10x cheaper approaches in costs as the techniques and math are not as advanced as they claim. The ugly truth is most of their PhDs are twiddling their thumbs and they are effectively buying up anyone interested in the field in hopes to deprive smaller upstarts from talent at an affordable price.

Founder of mega titan firms like DE Shaw will certainly be exceptional individuals and will obviously cary with them huge egos which will blind them to the degree which luck and being in the right place at the right time played.

how do you inspect the cellular network traffic?
SBCL purposefully dropped many "extra" libraries that were part of CMU (including GUI library) in order to focus on the lisp implementation itself. Given that the "missing" libraries are recouped by often better external code these days, I find it a pretty good option.

Unfortunately probably nobody has time to work on LW-level GUI library. Significant effort involved from people who mostly have no need for one.

Unravel – Unravel complex steel calculations
Then you should be enlightened:

Of the myriads of existing transfer or serialization formats,

* JSON is still the only secure by default one (if you ignore the two later updates, which made it insecure),

* JSON is by far the easiest to parse (small and secure, no references),

* is natively supported by Javascript.

It has some minor design mistakes, and is not binary (such as msgpack, which is therefore faster), but still is a sane and proper default. Esp. it does not support objects and other extensions, with its initializer problems on MITM attacks, and is properly ended.
Unlike XML, YAML, BJSON, BSON, ... which do have major problems, or msgpack, protobuf, ... which do have minor problems.

In every application, any dependency to XML should be minimized, contained and preferably eliminated.
In order to move to your destination, after vertical take-off you would then need to fall down a bit first in order to pick up speed before transitioning to gliding (to get wind over your wings, which provides lift to turn and fly in the right direction).

A Canadian living in US, so take this with a grain of salt.

Canada is a great place to immigrate too, I would also explore Montreal, it has more of a research/AI/gaming scene but the cost of living is lower than Toronto. Don't know about the salaries, I would investigate!

I work in the realm of higher education analytics. My comments here pertain to undergraduate students:

For the vast majority of students, online courses are not a good vehicle for learning. Not because online courses are, in themselves, ineffective, but because success in them requires a much higher degree of internal motivation. Without the structure afforded by the traditional classroom experience, a very large number do not engage with the coursework, especially beyond the first week or two. We see a rapid drop off in activity & assignment completion.
