New Zealand appears to be the easier choice to get into and is also a lovely place to live. Plus if you get Kiwi citizenship after 5 years that can also open the door to Aus a bit easier further down the line.

(this is something I looked into before the Australian government decided to grant me a visa I wasn't expecting to get granted)
In my limited experience accountants can get even relatively trivial things (like state tax credits for cases of partial residency) wrong. I’m sure there are different levels of quality/attention you can get the more you pay, including talking to pedigreed tax attorneys, but it’s expensive.

Personally I think there is a high dollar value in just not having to worry about these kinds of things. If I were entering a complex working situation or moving to another country, I would probably take steps to make things as simple as possible such as ending work in December and starting something new in January, not realizing investment income, putting assets in corporations or trusts to defer any income, etc.
Just see the other response to know what I think.
Being part of the system, several of them are probably still available for use as an emergency exit (terrorist attacks etc).
> In the future I'd expect hybrid teams, where the remote workers visit the office on a regular cadence (e.g., once a quarter) for meetings.

I wish people wouldn't surrender so easily to the old centralized model. IMO, the software that runs the world should be developed all over the world, not merely by US west coast companies with remote satellites, but in a truly decentralized manner, like Linux itself (as Brendan mentioned in this post).

Edit: This is one reason why I'm happy that I left Microsoft to cofound an all-remote company; I'm back in Kansas, my cofounder (the CEO) is in Florida, and we haven't met in person in over a decade (when he was my boss).
If you can't find a safe way to use your mode of transportation without ruining the quality of life of your neighbors, perhaps it's time to find a new mode of transportation.
The maps are great - where do they come from ?
I suppose most of these photos used a long exposure, and/or a rushing-by subway for "lighting". There seem to be some small lights for workers/emergency situations, but nothing compared to the lighting of an operational subway station.
Cars are not sound proof.
Really really depends on the company. I've heard the saying from Siemens people (which in Germany are regarded more like public officials, less like employees): "Freitag um eins macht jeder seins". Meaning no serious work is to be done after Fr 1300.
It actually does enable them manually, it just doesn't re-enable them after the driver manually turns them off during autopilot.
Combine medium and small hex keys to get a bigger hex key
A file containing every single Unicode codepoint once would be smaller in UTF-16 than in UTF-8. UTF-16 can make sense in some applications.
The best part is, that it's not proven that all this tailored ads really have the desired effect.
Especially if many buy those ads. Most of them are useless because the targeted customer only choose one to buy from for a wanted product, if he is choice is based on ads at all.
I wonder how much evil they could actually be getting away with if they wanted to. Imagine all of the trade secrets and national security secrets they could easily obtain by analyzing who is Googling what from where, or who is accessing their services from where.
Google cloud has huge year over year growth, and does really well especially in retail sectors. The losses are an investment.

Also, not sure where you get that is a guaranteed golden goose. Most companies that are in this space don't do well.
The recording linked span nearly 3 years. Why would he consider them to be "a failed experiment"?
Because most users do not know what consequences their data can have.
The whole business is completely opaque.
A few years ago, it turned out that Apple users were shown higher prices in online shops just because they had used an Apple browser.
I doubt they were happy about it, but as long as they didn't know, they had seen no problem in sharing this information.

I think that's a misguided take. I'm a software developer and data scientist (of sorts). Jupyter is an extremely convenient tool for adhoc data analysis. By default it gives you easy visualizations and inspection ability, allowing you to verify intermediate computation before rerunning.

It's easy to convert a notebook into a script with version control, reproducibility, and automation.
That’s one way of separating things, however the literature is surprisingly mixed on the topic.

Let me try to explain - I've had cancer at a relatively young age, so heard that a lot. I wasn't visibly sick, i just knew there's a chance I'm gonna die in the foreseeable future from it.

Unless the person saying it had access to some experimental treatment my doctors don't know about, there really was nothing they could have done to help me. I knew it and they knew it.

So while I didn't get angry at them (because I knew they said it because didn't know how to react differently), it did annoy me as it was basically an empty promise.
I doubt they're from other systems. Long time and distance to other habitable (pick your criteria) systems.

If they're from other systems, they're likely uncrewed and fully autonomous. The same thing we may one day attempt, if we make it that long.

Interesting question: What if the goals of their civilization have completely changed since launch? It's likely been a long time.

Will we account for that when we launch?
I think it actually is fine within a product category like password managers where data is highly portable and switching costs are low. Platforms with lock-in doing this however...
Have you taken a look at saas pass that has 2fa as the default and the password manager identifies sites with 2fa?

disclaimer: was involved on the 2fa part of it.
At the same time, Google think allways I'm in germany on work, because our company has just one large internet connection for all company users from the whole world. And google does not even let me change the country.
I think the most notable genocides have involved murder, but that doesn't mean they all have. Look at what is happening to the Uyghur people in China; it appears to be more of an operation to destroy their culture and identity than to slaughter the people, at least at the moment.
I don't think that a law that can be repealed is binding the legislature. You think it is. We will have to agree to differ.

Edited to add: for all I know, in the legal traditions of our respective countries we may both be right.
You are still able to root android phones and install custom ROMs. Note that even then though, even if you don't have any gapps installed, it sends your approximate location to google by querying its AGPS services.
I think in the future in order to stay private online, there's no way unless web traffic is decentralized off their servers.

That is the real power behind a peer-to-peer system in my opinion: Offloading, and therefore removing the capabilities to track anything as a single node in the system.

The only issue is peer-to-peer transport encryption, which can be solved if done correctly.

Something like "statistically correct" DNS, or assets, or contents should've been the norm a long time ago. That's exactly what I'm striving for with my Tholian Stealth Browser [1]

(to clarify: I mean peer-to-peer as a networking concept, specifically as the opposite concept of a decentralized blockchain)

Unless the goal is to make Microsoft rich with storing all 2^256, anything they actually can guess would be worth changing
And, I bet a significant portion of the offending CSV files are from excel. Excel is really annoying because it also silently localizes CSV files: my language uses the comma as a decimal separator, so excel wil switch to semicolon for the delimiter.

The link I think is because tech/software people tend to have a lot of brown (brown as in South Asian) people, and a lot of grew up and love playing cricket.
How much of the active new feature work for linux happens in a decentralized manner? It seems like a lot of the time it's mostly a single company with a team that's centralized doing the design and coding, and then throwing it over the wall to be reviewed and accepted. That latter half is easy to decentralize, the former not as much.
What are the other two popular password managers you are looking at?
In a way it seems pragmatic. You say all the boundaries are being violated, you might as well get something out of it. Also I’m not sure there’s a lot of difference in loss of privacy and tapping or swiping a credit card.
I can recommend Migadu. Worth it if you already pay for a domain (which you should, imo, to have a portable e-mail address). I pay for the $19 annual plan and find it sufficient, and I love the flexibility of the admin panel.
Google would be able to get a ton of revenue without tracking users at all. Selling ads based on search keywords would still work very well
In at least Ireland, not all of the children were abandoned either. Quite a few were guilty of being born out of wedlock.

Luckily Ireland has cast aside the influence of the Catholic church these days.
Where I live, they have started adding noise pollution cameras in the city center. They don't give ticket, just display the noise level and a smiley, but I'd love for them to become active and more common. It's so annoying being woken up at night because of some kind of really loud exhaust noise.
Is this the same kind of constraint solving algorithm as used in CAD packages like FreeCAD?
Apple may protect you from Google and Facebook but it won't protect you from itself. iOS is completely closed and you can't verify if it respects your privacy. Don't trust Apple. Open source software is a fundamental requirement for privacy. GrapheneOS is one of the best alternatives.
Most importantly, slowing down cars in residential or dense areas. The slower vehicle traffic is moving, the less likely that a collision will be fatal. (By a lot!)
People need to commute less if we generalize remote work for office workers, car-pooling, etc. Transportation costs are less dependent on gas prices if we build better exchange points between truck freight and train freight.

Infrastructure is dependent on gas because we let gas be cheap. If we seriously want to curtail climate change, we need to rip the band-aid off.
Taken literally? Well, then for "Grüss Gott" I would have to literally believe in god, then die and be lucky enough to go to heaven and greet god there (provided I'd get an audience). I think greetings are a meaningless formality anywhere, just learn them and the expected answers by heart and ignore the meaning.
> If a second SIM card wasn’t so pricey in Germany I would probably get one and leave my mobile at home most of the time.

This reminds me: it's silly that the Apple Watch eSIM has to be from the same provider as one's iPhone, and some providers which offer a phone eSIM don't support provisioning it for the Apple Watch, and vice versa.
Does moving to Australia stack up financially? All units in USD.

Netflix salary: $350,000 (minimum)

Tax as a single man in California with standard deduction: $133,000

Tax in Australia: $140,000

Price for a 3-bedroom house in Byron Bay: about $2m https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-byron+...

in SF: about $2m. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/23-Madrid-St-San-Francisc...

Taxes can be lowered significantly in the USA if you have a stay-at-home spouse and children. Australia does not allow tax combining. Taxes can be lowered in both countries with real estate deductions (although in Australia only for investment properties).

The major advantage for Australia is that there is no demographic underclass or widespread poverty/homelessness, which is a major problem in SF. But costs for Sydney and associated areas are hyper-expensive, about the same as SF.

Sydney latitude: 33.4° South. SF: 37.7° North
>The parable of the wolf and dog might be motivating at first glance but one has to wonder what happened to the hungry wolf afterwards?

In real life, of course, the wolf just eats the dog because it's a dog eat dog world, and trading your next meal for ideological purity isn't something wolves do, it's a privilege afforded to dogs who sometimes like to imagine themselves as wolves.
Linkedin has a button to “make my feed better”, but it only allow me to add stuff. One of the Danish political parties is VERY active on LinkedIn, but it’s just populist garbage aimed at small business owner. They refuse to answer critical question, of cause.

My feed would much better could I tell LinkedIn to only show my post made directly by people in my network, and not shared posts.
For the footsteps, it’s probably fine to only play the fx for the one character the player is controlling.
The problem here is mostly office workers. I do think Americans spend "too much" time in the office, but this is because so much time is wasted, due to the costs of working in a big bureaucracy.

While it's easy to say "I could work 50% less time and accomplish just as much", actually doing that in a sustainable way (e.g. without shifting mindless busywork onto other people) is a hard problem.

It's a bit like all these people talking about government waste. Yes, we know there is government waste. But that doesn't mean we know how to make the government more efficient in a sustainable way. This is because the government is also a big bureaucracy, and making these structures efficient is something that we don't know how to do very well. People tend to carve out their own little empires, they sabotage each other, they create their own view of the world which differs from the view of the world of someone one level up or down, and then they spend effort on things not really explainable to those outside their view of the world, and often those efforts don't make much sense to people outside that specific bubble.

What this means as that as we continue to get more bureaucratic, the situation will only get worse, not better. We will be able to accomplish less and less real work in the same unit of time. You can see this now with irreality everywhere. It's infuriating, but unclear on what to do about it. It's bubble-within-bubble with so much effort expended at completely irrelevant things to anyone outside the concern-bubble.

That is why people end up working crazy long hours in the economy as a whole just to keep things going, and telling people to "work less" is a bit like treating the government waste problem by cutting all budgets by 10%. All that happens is that work piles up and the organization as a whole becomes less efficient over the long term.
We are primates, after all.
It's quite accurate in terms of approach, but there are a lot of situations where smiling is more or less appropriate and wouldn't be considered as a rude move. For example, it's completely okay (almost) for service people to be smiling and approachable although it's not obligatory in any way (especially at small stores). At the same time if you are just smiling at strangers without saying any word, it could be perceived as a rudeness. If you smile and give a light nod, most people will think that you somehow know them. So, it's not that Russians are all grumpy and angry all the time, but they (we) need to have an explanation for your smile, you just can't smile without a reason, if that makes sense.
The IPCC report has scientific underpinnings; it's not a predetermined result, but the reflection of continuing research. It's about the best we can do. Of course it's an approximation with errors, such is the fate of all models.

But to just point at a few short-comings, and do so with blatant disrespect for the context, and then conclude everything it says must be false is what I'd call unscientific. The linked article on wattsupwiththat doesn't even try to provide an alternative explanation. There have been skeptics who came up with reasonable objections and alternatives, but that article isn't one of them. It does falsely represent the 1.5°C threshold issue, though, to the point of manipulative dishonesty.
Fiber is only reasonably inexpensive in dense urban areas. The cost of laying new fiber in sparsely populated rural areas is prohibitive.

There is a 4th way out of a supply shortage: stop using the thing in shortage.

I live in Indiana, near the Louisville Ford truck plant. There is a humongous derelict WW2 munitions plant in my city that was largely overgrown with weeds and rusting factory-type buildings. The Ford truck plant is now parking trucks on this property because they can't be finished due to the chip shortage.

Personally, I don't care for all the electronic crap that is in cars these days. It's one of the reasons I still have an 18-y/o Honda. So if they dial back on the amount of electronic garbage (chips) in a car, I'd be more likely to buy one.
You misunderstood.

The guy above correctly said that Jupyter is nice for ad-hoc analysis kind of work. The problem is that when you've reached terabytes of data and tens of cores you're not "ad-hoc" anymore.

Too often the math guys try to avoid responsibility by claiming they're doing "ad-hoc" work when they're clearly not anymore. It's convenient, yes, but leads to a bad place eventually.

Nope. Don't believe it, it's another hubris-heavy article from Forbes.

Sadly, for most people in the world, the future of work is more likely to be 9-9-6. Clock in at 9am, leave at 9pm. Repeat 6 days a week, for the rest of your life until you can't work and no social safety net other than your family. This is what your overlords want.
Those comments are correct: there are many web standards that Safari has either decided not to implement, or has not gotten around to yet. A browser doesn't have to implement a new feature just because it has been standardized.
I've worked in France, US and Finland (all that is super subjective). In France you talk and take informal breaks all the time. In US you occasionally take a long break with a colleague. In Finland the breaks were organized and everybody took them (some food, tea, coffee). TBH I prefer the Finnish way. I'm fine with the US one, but I dread the French way.
Nothing unnerving about it; every hyperconverged storage platform out there uses some sort of RAIN type architecture with all data replicated across 2 or more mirrors within a cluster, or spread out in stripes using an erasure coding algorithm with parity bits. Real-time storage-layer replication to another cluster is an optional feature for extremely critical use a cases, but most orgs just rely on their backup and replication measures to handle availability concerns where a cluster ends up completely dead. Cases where hyperconverged storage is used without making allowances for availability are generally limited to purely ephemeral workloads (e.g. 'disposable' virtual desktops that re-compose on logout) or workloads with app-level availability through ring topology, sharding, etc.

UTF-8 encodes code points, as do UTF-16 and UTF-32. Once you go from a sequence of bytes to a sequence of code points, you've moved beyond the specifics of the encoding.

Code points might be combined to form graphemes and grapheme clusters. Some of the latest emojis are extended grapheme clusters, for e.g. handling the combinatorics of mixed families. This is a higher level composition than UTF-x, it's logically a separate layer.

IMO talking about characters in the context of Unicode is often unhelpful because it's vague.
When I did it (long ago) I think there was a cone weave as well. I started off thinking that test was a poor representation of what riding was actually like, but came to understand that for a quick test, it probably mapped pretty well to basic MC skills.
This isn’t the point of the article. The point is that you can’t share your data with your friends without sharing that data with Google the company as well.
Google had a brilliant advertising business with AdWords originally, where the ads were simply based on the search term and not a bunch of Orwellian surveillance on the person searching.

From the research I've seen, all this privacy-invading crap doesn't even improve ad performance much - it's small incremental gains at best. And per this article, those gains are clearly coming at the expense of user trust and goodwill, something not reflected in click thru rates and RPM.

Here's hoping we can get past all this invasive retargeting / surveillance / privacy-invading crap and get back to straightforward contextual ads, like car parts ads on a hot rod website - our world would be better for it, and maybe Google could restore a little of its rapidly fading goodwill.
If this is what you want to do contracting is the way to go. I know several people who do contract work through the winter months and then spend summer sailing round the Mediterranean and Caribbean off the proceeds.

Just looked that up, and the site describes the project as

> GrapheneOS is a privacy and security focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility

What does that mean? Is it a built-from-scratch OS with an Android compatability layer (like Blackberry 10), or is it just an indirect way of saying they’re based on Android (like Cyanognemod/Lineage OS)?

Bitwarden has worked great for me. Use it for personal stuff. At work we are stuck with lastpass, and it's such a pain to use.

My only complaint about bitwarden is that folder management in the macos app is not great. Adding passwords to new folders requires writing in the entire directory path. And i have to memorize the entirety of it, writing it incorrectly leads it to create new directories with those badly spelled names.
If he's keeping the SV salary then he's probably well ahead of the game.
