Israel is extremely expensive, not only in terms of rent but also basic products are double of what they cost in the US. Holiday package deals are way more expensive than Turkey, Greece or Egypt, so much so that most Israelis would rather go to those destinations than have a holiday inside Israel.

> and apps taking even 1-2 GB of RAM isn't that big of a deal for the average user.

I live in France, a first world country, just checked Amazon, the N°1 best seller laptop currently has 4GB of RAM, a 64GB SSD, and a 1366x768 screen and a dual-core Intel Celeron CPU which does not even reach 3Ghz: https://www.amazon.fr/HP-14s-dq0000sf-Ultraportable-Microsof...

this is what the average user looks like (and will still look like in a few years, if people buy a laptop today it's generally to keep it 5 years). I have never ever ever seen anyone say "hey, my computer is fast" it's always "do you think you could look at it, it's super slow / it has viruses / ..."

A word of caution about machine learning models in academia. The advertised predictive ability or AUC is often inflated, sometimes by a lot. I am not sure why, but I imagine it comes down to the usual p-hacking incentives. Maybe it is because you only need to apply your model to more than one "independent" dataset before you publish a paper. Or simply that academics in diverse fields often lack the nuanced knowledge to realise their model is predicting based on some experimental artifact in their data.

Digital phenotyping has a lot of promise. But considering the unusually conservative old boys club that seems to dominate alzheimers research I would be particularly suspicious of any research on the disease.
I'm within 10 miles, so now I guess I need to go to some city council meetings and lobby for a bike lane or sidewalk or something. Right now, of all the highways leading to this industrial park (yes it's well within city limits), none of them have a sidewalk or bike lane. The road shoulders are high grass. It's not a new highway either. This highway has been here literally for decades. Yet it has no sidewalks, bike lanes, or shoulders. Plenty of room to build them. The will is simply not there.
A person shouldn't be allowed to own two different homes. It's absurd that some have summer homes abroad while people in the country are homeless
I use a Linux exclusively for my regular computing needs, development work, office stuff etc., and have an iPhone and iPad. The iPhone market is so much larger than the Mac market that Apple has designed the devices to work just fine without a Mac to plug in to.
I do use Dropbox instead of iCloud for most files, but if I need to get a photo out of iCloud, the web interface works fine.
That is so bizarre, I built and tinkered with way too many machines in that era, and I only remember one combination that didn't work, two early ATAPI CDROMs on the same chain. Everything else, just get the jumpers right and it was good to go.

This was mostly in the era of ISA and then VLB "Super-I/O" cards, so maybe mobos with integrated IDE are pickier?

I don't understand entirely. Apple has locked you into their walled garden.

But FaceTime and iMessage? There are plenty of alternatives. More importantly the alternatives have bigger user bases. What is making you feel locked into iMessage?

Interoperability between apple devices and services is good, but any individual service is not actually great. They are only good if you commit everything to apple.

So if you actually wanted to break free, switching from iMessage and FaceTime would be the easiest. Reduce your dependencies of stuff in the walled garden, then leaving that garden get easier.

Apple knows that switching from MacOS/iOS is hard if you use their services that only work on their devices. The solution is don't use their services even if you use their devices.
Armenia. Internet service is good. Cost of living is cheap. Yerevan is a modern, safe, mid-sized city that is easy to get around. Lots of bars, restaurants if you're into that kind of stuff. There's a small tight-knit tech community.

Downsides: language barrier can be a problem, but generally there's at least some degree of English knowledge among the younger population. If you happen to know Russian, it'll be even easier since most people understand it there. Also, with COVID, prepare for a LOT of people refusing to mask up or vaccinate. Better get your shots before going.
Sure, I'll go out of a limb and say that most serious economics do not think austerity works either.

For example, the Greek government cut welfare benefits only for the government to lose the next election and the new government to reinstate welfare. This is the "cut the wasteful spending" type of austerity, meaning it's the least bad form of austerity. If you were to cut healthcare, infrastructure or core industries you could easily end up worse off than without austerity. Guess what the Greeks did? They sold their most important assets (ports and ships) to China.

Really, the problem with debt is that the person holding onto the money that the debt created decided they want to wait it out and spend their money later. In essence, the problem is that the interest rate on the debt is too high. If that person were to spend all his money, the debt would be gone assuming effective taxation.

Meanwhile the IMF will tell literally every country in trouble to do austerity to qualify for support.

I'm not sure I've encountered a single bug in the half year or more I've had this. I don't ask a lot of it, to be fair. I guess Firefox as my main browser really drains the hell out of the battery, which is annoying. Not really a bug.
Original title slightly too long - so I removed 'post-Brexit', which I thought would draw comments on it being unnecessary (though more relevant than usual perhaps) line-drawing or incendiary anyway.
Thanks!, the mobile/desktop/convergence is what I was thinking of. The linked article says that it is still under development, but in the future that is what I am looking forward to: a powerful pocket device that can plug into a monitor/keyboard/mouse in my study, into a whole wall display in our living room, and public I/O devices in libraries, offices, malls, friends' homes, etc. One can dream, right?

There is another great alternative for the longer term future: compute would be everywhere as well as public I/O devices for user interaction. Wherever you are, you could be recognized and your personal environment would be right there.

Pardon me for going far-afield here, but I am a fan of Gibson's cyberpunk sci-fi future, and I enjoy imagining what the combination of tech/society/governance/etc. will be.

Are the sponsor parts really so bad? To me not only is it easy to skip, I want indie people to make enough money to produce high quality content; otherwise media is just what a few biggies want to fund. They’re not enough from YouTube itself unless you’re in the top percentile.

Also what sponsored content are people downloading versus just streaming live? I don’t get the use case.

Thats because roads are not "supply" it is "price". Building a hospital and staffing it should make the cost of healthcare in an area lower because there is more "supply" of healthcare. Which in turn means more people would go get healthcare that couldnt afford it before. The sick people are already there, they just cant afford to get treatment.

Just like the people who want to drive somewhere are already there, but the cost of a clogged commute makes it not worth it for them to spend the time, so they do something else.

Interesting. So it’s like buying a place with a guaranteed buyer on the other side but no upside n the value of the house increasing. I don’t think I would want to live in that situation. It’s not like houses are that hard to sell.
It's not surprising at all when you understand that these laws and regulations are so stringent that they cause massive costs to landlord who want to rent, so much so that it is almost financial suicide to try and do it.

My parents own some apartments and offices, and having seen the issues they have had with them, despite having for the most part good faith tenants, i know for a fact that when they pass and i inherit their assets i will liquidate them all and never get involved in any form of real estate in Portugal.

I do this not because I don't want to, but because the ever changing laws, confiscatory taxes and public ill-will on landlords makes it a stupid proposition.

Good intentions generally have terrible results.
I've tried Fedora recently. The package manager didn't pass my stress test:

1. Did a minimal installation without a GUI.
2. Installed Gnome.
3. Installed KDE.
4. Uninstalled Gnome and KDE. The system ended up in a broken state: many important packages were deleted, I couldn't connect to the network, and the package manager stopped working.
South of Brazil is alright, but as someone who lives in Porto Alegre it is not really 'safe'.

By far the best place to live in Brasil is São paulo (state) countryside. Very safe cities, close to urban centers, not expensive at all. Santos is also pretty nice but 1k might fall short.

Well, for one, we don't want a humanitarian crisis and civil war or even international war... that's bad for the whole region and thus bad for US interests.

We also don't want China able to just take over land and territory at will, which they've threatened to do all over the region. That destabilizes the region and once again is bad for US interests. This also emboldens other nations with expansion desires which threatens stability across the world... No US ally would trust us again if we just let Taiwan be taken over... again, bad for US interests...

I just came back from 2 months in Colombia with my wife and a 3 year old. You can definitely live off 1k USD in an intermediate city (not Bogota) with a very high living standards compared to the average colombian.

Medellin would be my recommendation, very safe, unbeatable weather, access to high speed internet, a trendy startup culture and decent level of English-speaking people, non-stop daily flights to major US cities and same time zone as the US.
You ask jokingly, but the serious answer is that there's an actual scarce asset behind it. Sort of like Bitcoin ;) Whether the scheme artificially inflates the value of the asset remains to be seen of course. I feel the fact that the contracts usually only last 2 years or less really takes the sting out of the risk of collapse, but I'm no economist. Also if it's been going on since the 80's, that means it's been going strong through 30 years of turbulent economical climates.
This may have changed in the last few years, but another thing I really liked back when I ran Sailfish, was how even the third-party apps would use the standard UI assets and look/function exactly like native apps. That and the fact that they were usually open source and ad-free. For instance one I liked was "Solar System"[1]. Since no sane person would make a Sailfish app in order to get rich, Sailfish apps weren't trying to make money.

That's a bit glib. I don't believe that the bounds are fully proven for all the transcendentals (and I believe that exponentiation is only "proven" over restricted subdomains).

Single precision floating point is a small enough domain that it can be fully enumerated--you can prove that everything rounds correctly and find the problematic cases. 24-bits just isn't that large to modern computers.

Double precision floating point is still too large to fully enumerate. So, there could be an exception lurking in there that goes out a long way.

In reality, it seems that rounding requires about 2n + log2 n bits and never 3n bits (I don't think we've ever found an exception to this). However, if you can prove that, you should submit it as it would be a significant advance in the world of mathematics.
Sure, a many-many-core desktop will be able to beat the M1 when the workload extensively uses parallel processing. But there likely isn't any faster single-thread CPU in the world at the moment[0], barring any overclocking. If there is (maybe through other benchmarks), then the difference will be minor and the competing CPU would be extremely power hungry in comparison.

Remember the M1 is a 10W chip.

not sure if you're talking hypothetically or from experience, but (depending on jurisdiction) trying to "sue a tennant" is really, really hard. In Canada most of the laws protect the tennant, making trying to evict someone next to impossible. It can take months to years, and they will most likely do thousands of dollars of damage to your property.
I continue to subscribe to Netflix not because I'm thrilled with their selection but because there are a few things I want and it's the business model I want to support. Unlimited watches, no ads, I pay for access to a library. Fuck everything like Hulu and Prime with paid subscriptions that still include ads.
This should just call itself glibc-kludge-4-alpine. Most of the problem solved, I think.
Zoning changes are worthless when there is still prop 13 and the most onerous permitting and building restrictions in the country.

The only long term solutions are completely infeasible while there are elections in the state. Existing property owners need to pay actual representative property taxes and need to see their homes decrease about 75% in value through a combination of massive building campaign and increase an inventory from the unaffordability of paying real property taxes.
Based on their press material, you'd think that nobody else has done this before at any precision. You can see the resulting confusion in this very forum. That kind of behavior is disingenuous at best.

Came here to add Colombia to the list though I would suggest Medellin.

Stayed there for six months. Inexpensive, friendly people, generally safe if you stay near the Poblado area and not flaunt your wealth.

Use apps for just about everything and if you’re inclined, cook at home.

Here’s a cost breakdown:

Rent: staying at a 4.5/5 star hotel near Poblado runs you $400-500 USD, check with some of the newer hotels and avoid Booking.com (at least after your two week stay). Hotels will work with you If you try to negotiate long term pricing, some even have bigger and dedicated rooms.

Check out properties with Caracol and AirBnB. The idea is if you negotiate pricing outside the platform, it’s often cheaper for longer term stays.

Food: use Rappi to order your meals, it’s similar to Uber Eats (since discontinued in the country); half the cost of what you’ll usually pay in the US.

Transportation: Uber, DiDi, Cabify.

Loved the country and looking to return next year. Haven’t been able to obtain a visa yet.

Decades of activism disagree. One example: people in wheelchairs used to be called "invalids" and pretty much couldn't get anywhere in public. Then the ADA was signed, and public spaces are much more accessible as a result.

A healthy balance between stoic acceptance and dutiful activism is the optimal approach, I think.
I can certainly understand how one can derive meaning from a trade or profession, but I would find it difficult to believe that anyone could really do that for menial jobs like a cashier or warehouse packer. These jobs are dead ends, they don't have a meaningful spectrum of quality and you're little more than a warm body.

A comedian (David Mitchell) once joked that he's proud of the UK's terrible service reputation. It doesn't seem honest or appropriate for service staff to be so happy and enthusiastic, why would they be? There's very little to be happy about.

Not an expert, but I think there's a good chance the renter will lose money. When this happens, the landlord usually has more debt than the house is worth, so the renter has to compete with other lenders. (There's some legal protection, but I don't think it's bulletproof.)
Good point, that is a huge difference in hardness.

I don't really understand exactly what the FBI breached here...?

They uploaded (AFAICT, lawfully obtained) evidence into their FBI-wide system, then it appeared in search results legitimately because there was a crossover with another investigation.

The whole point of criminal intelligence systems is to reveal these kinds of unexpected links isn't it?

Does the warrant get granted with some kind of limitations on how the material can be used or who can review it?

Obviously, they have done something wrong as they have apparently felt the need to send a mea culpa to the court, but I don't really see what it is.
