I'm not saying the grocer doesn't want you there -- I'm saying you feel like you're literally in the way (as in, physically blocking the aisle) if you stand around the snack aisle scratching your head, while the regulars are making a beeline for the fish sauce and packs of mala tofu skin.

It continuously amazes me how little most sellers and consumers know about the country all their products come from. But maybe it's hard to find reliable information if you haven't lived there yourself?
Thank you for this. The fact that I’m getting downvoted on this scares me and makes me want to quit everything and hide.
Every internet thread about anywhere popular is quickly filled with people saying that they tried it and didn't like it. That's natural and I think fine, and anyone considering moving to London should consider all the disadvantages.

But there are also great advantages: it's easy to find work here, it's a walkable place where there is no need to own a car (or even know how to drive), although many complain the weather is in fact very mild and it's very achievable for someone on a software engineer salary to raise a family close(ish) to the centre. Of course there's plenty of "cultural" whatnot too. I love it here and wouldn't move anywhere else.

If you are thinking about moving here, I'm happy to answer any "dumb" questions you have over email (see my profile).
This section of the article has a detailed explanation on tax brackets in the UK, including a worked example for an "average software developer salary", so this is clearly not the case.
Is this post missing the point, or am I? I thought that the point of requiring attestation is to prove that someone actually did go out and buy a legitimate Yubikey (or whatnot) and ban that key if they're spamming.

With those two considerations, this actually seems like a really good idea to me.
I used to commute by boat, from Putney Pier to Embankment and back. Short walk to both the office and home at either end, and it was marginally cheaper than a season ticket on the tube, and infinitely more pleasant, usually.
I'd call seven "many". Many is more than "a few", which I'd say is =< 5.

The total number of countries (50) only matters if you're using relative terms, like "most".
As a third-worlder from a loud country that's very happy after emigrating to Britain I had the opposite experience: the culture and the British character are big positives of living in London and the UK.

Maybe the grass is always greener on the other side, but I enjoy the quietness and helpfulness of the average Brit.

The only big negatives of UK culture for me are the general bad quality of produce outside of farmer's markets and the weird attachment everyone has to sash windows.
What you are missing is the motivation of the seller. The company is not interested in making your house a safer place and helping you living your life. Instead they want your data. And they want your data to essentially extract more money from you. This setup sees you as an obstacle that needs to be overcome and it is just a short step to sell that data to a third party. And no one, repeat: absolutely fucking no one, that collects your data clandestinely is doing this because they think you would agree with their motives. In the end, they always want to get an advantage over you.

E2EE only applies to data in transit, not data at rest. Talking via E2EE chat client means only that third parties in between cannot read what you write. It doesn't imply the messages cannot be recovered from your device, or your conversation partner's device, and it definitely does not imply said partner can't just leak them, whether accidentally or on purpose.

I'm not sure how E2EE came to be interpreted as to mean "totally secure against everything".
We own a 3 story 4 bedroom townhouse with garden and garage in Enfield, ~ 400k. Mortgage is about 1400 a month. The countryside is close by, both Hertfordshire and Essex.

Housing is expensive in rough proportion to how central you are, and especially how close to tube stations you are. But it's also possible to live quite well. My commute would be a little over 1 hour each way by public transport, but I generally used a motorbike, closer to 35 minutes.

We are however leaving, in large part due to Brexit. I'm Irish, my partner is German, and neither of us wants our son to be schooled in this country. The political situation is heading in an Orban-like direction, they're locking up EU citizens at the border and the anti-EU rhetoric from leadership and tabloids is relentless.

I would not come here as an EU citizen.

I quit my job and joined Google in part because they'll relocate me to Zurich.

Just to give an alternate viewpoint, I'm currently writing most of my code in Rust, and while I am generally a fan of the language, and a huge fan of the tooling and community, I think Rust often gets a pass on complexity because it's mostly compared against C++ which is itself a monstrosity. There are many, many other languages to which Rust seems insanely complex and difficult to program in by comparison. I think that often gets blamed on accommodating the borrow checker, and Rust's low-level nature, but I think a lot of it is avoidable.
I always wonder how much I save by blocking off the vents in under-occupied rooms. They end up sitting a few degrees cooler in winter.

We are looking at companies that are doing at least a few million dollars in sales. The sellers are super impressive in my opinion, its hard to get there! So yes sometimes they don't have the best records, but we are looking at companies with a relatively few number of skus so if we need to go back to the bank records and invoices to recreate cost structure we can. So far most sellers we work with are great entrepreneurs that either don't have the resources, capital or experience to take the brand to another level.

There are the advertised tax brackets, and then there are the effective ones. The effective ones are:

0-£12,570 (0%)
£12,571-£50,270 (20%)
£50,271-£99,999 (40%)
£100,000-£125,140 (60%)
£125,141-£150,000 (40%)
£150,001+ (45%)

The 60% arrises because your personal allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 you earn over £100,000 until is disappears entirely.

Out of curiosity, what's your recommendation on how to differentiate a very competent tax lawyer from one that's merely good? Also, what's wrong with "crypto lawyer" people?
It is interesting how companies can justify sponsoring someone on the basis other than they cannot find a specialist for the money they are willing to pay.

Don't get me wrong - immigration should be encouraged and I think it should be easier for people from various backgrounds to come and contribute.

What isn't right, is that companies register huge profits (and often transfer them to tax havens) and don't share them with employees, while at the same time complaining they cannot find developers. Just pay more and you'll find plenty!

But where are you going to find a 500kW charger? Maybe if you put a complex and expensive supercapacitor bank in the charger, but then the charger will need to recharge between charging sessions. And what guage of copper will you need to push over 1000A? You would probably need to hook up a bunch of parallel cables to charge at that rate.

Founding CEO vs. Hired CEO: What the Data Reveals

Even if at a loss for now, that's still amazing! I had no idea we were so far with lab grown meat already, last I heard it was prohibitively expensive. Sounds like they think they can be profitable in a couple of years. And one of the co-founders is vice president of the US Humane Society.
> They're also assuming the movie is set in our version of reality, even though they know it's not, because there's 2 space stations that are closer together than in our reality.

I really love it when movies set out to explore an alt universe. They're fun. But Gravity didn't do that.

> Also they're missing the point of the film, and of science fiction, it's not about predicting the future, it's about exploring humanity via putting humans into extreme/unusual circumstances.

No, I think you miss the point of sci-fi there. Sci-fi is literally just fiction where science is the major plot directive. It could use that platform to discuss ethics (as Star Trek often set out to do), it could use it do explore loneliness and survival (as The Martian did), it could be a platform to scare people (like Alien) or it could just be using it as a canvas for something totally made up and fun (like Guardians of the Galaxy). But there's absolutely no reason what-so-ever why sci-fi can't be about predicting the future. And in fact a great deal of sci-fi does set out to do just that.

The real problem with many of the comments in this thread is they assume "sci-fi" is this single entity in which all content assumes the same goals. But it's not. Different writers will have different stories to tell and different emotions they want to leave with the audience.

Furthermore, movies are not the only platform from which sci-fi exists. If you take a look at novels you'll see that sci-fi is actually a massive genre to which cinema only scratches the surface of. I'd wager that's probably true of most genres when comparing books to movies though.
note that you cannot trust the knowledge box, I can't recall a specific example but I've seen some wildly wrong things in those.
I will note I'm glad we don't get as many battery breakthrough hype articles on hackernews -- reddit is littered with them. It seems that the rate at which they are coming through is much lower (maybe hype around storage is dying off a bit?).

If feels like only production ready tech with that will really change the dynamics of the market should make their way through - almost none of them are ever going to make it to market and I don't feel like I am any better for knowing about all of them.
The economics make sense to me. I’ve ran a VPN for 10 (concurrent!) people on a $5 droplet. If I charged them PIA prices (monthly), that’s $95 a month in profit. The insane 3 year or 2 year deals are obviously subsidized by continuous sign ups, meaning constant in your face ad placement is necessary.

I’d even say they’re probably making direct profit from the $2.69 a month plan too. Essentially all VPN providers do is resell bandwidth, just at an insane upcharge in the name of “privacy”.
I opened this article right after working on a rust program on my Jetson Nanon.

Jetson Nanos are like $50 on Newegg. They are very cool. HN community should be all over this. I have used raspberry pis for robotics, but now I am seeing if I can switch and it seems to work. A Jetson Nano has (I believe) 128 cuda cores. If you want more, get a TX1 or a bigger board.

Seriously, trying to add an Nvidia care to a Pi is a dumb choice IMO. Show the Nano some love!

No real 1st class seating (you'd never know other than its clearly marked) and no damn plugs unless you're on the one High speed line.
You'd need to also tax gifts and inheritance at the same rate for that to work. Also, because of the time value of money, delaying tax on wealth allows you to grow it more effectively. Even if the money is eventually taxed at X%, you had years or decades for it to compound first while people who need to spend it now don't have that opportunity.
Those high speed middle parts will get slowed down by insane air resistance down to sub Mach 1 speeds in a couple hundred meters would be my guess. Non-aerodynamic, non-propelled middle chunks are not a threat to battleships, especially compared to Mach 9 missiles.

Why CAPTCHAs Will Be with Us Always
I'm curious if there are any projects out there that would search "schemaless" structured data, but still retain some of the structure.

Essentially something like the result of indexing a json row of field/value pairs for a bunch of csvs (with different fields) that would lead to being able to do faceted search on an individual field across rows/datasets, or being able to find the bits related to a needle deep in the dataset haystack.
Last time I lived in London I actually enjoyed trying to use the bus as much as possible. Riding on the top of a double decker bus is a nice experience: there is almost always seating available, the views are better, the air is less stuffy / you're less likely to melt in the summer, you are more likely to get directly from point A to point B, and it's cheaper.

All that combined means it's much easier / more enjoyable to do some work / read a book on your commute if you're using the bus, which for me was worth the extra journey time.

Obviously for longer journeys you still need the tube/train, but I lived fairly centrally so was able to either bus or bike 90% of the time.
except,in Notion, you don't need 3rd party plugins, or "create your own" templates, you already have it out of the box, don't get me wrong tho, I don't love Notion, is very slow.

Nah, the standard playbook is to keep firing a bunch of employees who run the resource until service degrades, then complain about how badly mismanaged the resource is and extol how perfect it would be to have it be managed by a private company, then you have a friend start a company where you have a nice big share, have the company buy the resource with the support of the people, profit.
So it's up to the individual to make sure they're not accepting dirty money. Shouldn't be hard to write software to accomplish that. The exchanges can do it --- flag incoming dirty money. Average users don't accept btc from strangers as a payment for goods or services anyway.

The IRS wants their cut of your profits. So, if you buy $10 US worth of euros, spend half of them, the dollar tanks, and you exchange the remaining half back for $6 US, then you profited by $1 US and the IRS wants part of that one dollar.
I agree it's not entirely fair, but yes, the bulk of the blame has to go to the corporate derps that keep it running and love it.

But even if we could use the "latest version" a quick google image search for "Oracle EBS screenshots" shows that UI-wise, not much has changed. Maybe they got rid of the insipid flash-light icon? I didn't want to get too stressed by looking closely.
It's generally a good idea to check them yourself as well. HMRC does sometimes make mistakes with people's tax codes, resulting in the wrong amount being taken off your pay, and your employer doesn't (and can't) correct those mistakes for you. Usually when there's a mistake it will eventually be corrected automatically by HMRC but that can leave you with an unexpected extra tax bill (or a refund, which is usually less of a problem), but those corrections happen months after the end of the tax year.

Also if you pass a certain income threshold you're required to fill in your own tax return anyway.

Cloudflare captchas in particular, and any checks and roadblocks to see something publicly available in general, are terrible, period. It doesn't matter which form they take.

The ISA of the CPU cores doesn't matter. The PCIe controller does. And Broadcom being Broadcom, they have a weird one with interesting bugs like 64-bit I/O not even working.

On something like a MACCHIATObin or Honeycomb LX2K, AMD GPUs just work, even with pre-boot display in UEFI (thanks to EDK2 optionally including QEMU for this, it can just emulate x86 for the display driver it reads from the card).

Not sure I understand what you mean, you only have 1 730k which you've borrowed. Interest rates are a drop in the bucket (~4%) compared to ~25-40% tax rates and that's ignoring asset appreciation (BTC averages ~300% YoY). If you use something like makerdao, you won't even have to pay a single cent of the debt back as long as you borrow conservatively and don't need your collateral back.
