US Southeast -> New York -> London

London driving is still necessary if you want to do anything out of town. It's super spread out and despite the Tube being reliable, it doesn't really run at night. London is so huge it's unlikely your friends will live much less than an hour away from you. The roads are tiny and civil engineering here post-dates most of the construction so it's mayhem compared to driving in the US. However, you can get the hang of it.

The NHS is great for (1) the bottom end, basic stuff with a straightforward solution like a broken arm and (2) the high-end emergency stuff like childbirth and cardiac arrest. Assuming you have reasonable health insurance in the US, the NHS falls flat for any kind of non-emergency, non-routine procedure. You'll need to pay retail to get the same care which is about 1.5x what the same procedure would cost cash in the US. Otherwise you'll learn the NHS's "holistic" solution to your problem. You will have the comfort of knowing the less well off aren't in dire straights paying for basic healthcare. If you think it's "free" though, see below.

Taxes are out of control. In addition to about a 50% income tax, most goods and services are also subject to a "value added tax" of 20%. Compensation is also about 60% of the US version. So in exchange for the NHS, you get an "everything is expensive" mentality, and it's super common to hear well-to-do folks complain about the slightest expenses. It's actually very socialist for being one of the largest capitalist democracies in the world.

The law here is much less clear, and somewhat "equity-based" although followed. For example, an individual has recently been convicted of the crime of owning the Anarchists Cookbook. Penalties are less severe.

Real estate costs are 1.5-2x those of an average US city and 1.25x those of New York. While new construction is made to last longer than its US counterparts, e.g., using a lot of brick, most of it has already lasted longer than its US counterpart. In other words, in London there isn't much new construction. Instead, it's a ton of 100+ year-old homes built with period materials and including 10, 20 and 30-year "extensions" strapped on.

The food is generally lackluster except a few categories like Indian. Forget pizza or Mexican food exists.

People are about as friendly as anywhere.

The weather is almost unbearable. It's always somewhat cloudy. There may be a few consecutive days in September that are clear, but any more than 3 and people will start complaining about how "it's boiling out". In the Summer, while it does warm up in direct sunlight, you don't get continental heating and the stable warm temperatures it brings. So you might find yourself wearing shorts out in the morning and wrapping up in a blanket later in the day. You'll note people wear lots of layers.
I’ve lived in Florida, Kansas, Minnesota, and Indiana and visited over 40 states. Except in a few places my experience is that most people don’t live within walking distance of a car. Well, let me be more precise. Those who do live within walking distance to a grocery store tend to not have a pleasant enough or safe enough route to walk there to do so on a regular basis. Traversing a giant parking lot with a bunch of car drivers unaccustomed to pedestrians is unpleasant.

I absolutely love taking trips around the Balkans, and have been very lucky to have gotten quite familiar with Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Kosovo in my recent travels. In a matter of hours, the universal constants (language, food, culture) have been replaced, and there are just so, so many beautiful things to discover in these countries. Words to blow ones minds, history that brings tears with a few simple footsteps...
The gas prices in the USA are pretty great compared to Europe (including during this presidency).

Some countries (like Italy) charge basically the cost of petrol in taxes.

On the cons, in the USA you generally need to drive longer distances.
Pure Ubuntu (no flavor)
The sub was originally anarchists who literally believe in not working - read the linked posts in the sidebar. It was taken over by socialists but the name stuck.
Some details.

I've often seen patent applications, particularly provisional patent applications, as an "ace in the hole" for real and potential commercial disputes. If you are afraid you might get screwed the patent gives you a weapon to screw back.

Your university might be able to force you to assign the patent to the university and I wouldn't worry about it.

If you are filing your first patent and not (initially) putting the name of any big organization on it you can get 1/2 or 1/4 off the filing fee. I got 1/2 off the last time I filed one I spent a day gathering together my notes and I paid $65. A real patent is going to cost you somewhere in the low $1000s. The PPA starts the clock and gives you 1 year to file a real application which is enough time if you're serious. It also will keep anybody else from filing a patent.

You could go to the technology transfer office at your uni but I don't reccommend it because (1) the folks involved know some aspects of the subject very well but they are clueless in others, so they might not have good judgement about "is this worth filing a patent for?" and (2) they are going to spend more money determining if it is worth filing a patent than you are going to spend on filing fees.

You are better off begging forgiveness than asking permission I think, particularly if your first step is filing the provisional patent. Even if you are forced to assign the patent to your uni, you are much better off getting into a commercial dispute over something valuable than you are not having anything valuable to begin with.

Nolo press has some very good books on patent law that tell you all you need to know to file patents. Go get one from the library.
It's time to take reproduction in space seriously
I'm a bit limited by how little time I can put on this, which is the main reason why I don't currently have any plans on open sourcing it. Like I couldn't responsibly run that project, and just dumping it on github wouldn't be useful for anyone. Besides, most value comes from the database, which sadly would be fairly harmful if it came to circulate among search engine marketers.

Some sort of collaboration might be doable, but again, I don't actually have a lot of bandwidth to actually manage it. Right now I'm doing some API-level collaboration with Teclis.

I am sort of beginning to see hardware limitations though, so if you have ideas for how to get more I'd be interested to hear what you propose.

This is well understood, and conscientious professors drill these concepts into prospective students and lab members. Unfortunately there are many who aren't conscientious. I know bitter, would-be scientists ejected from the system, we need more money in Science (the NSF budget is so small relative to military expenditures the biggest tragedy I know). I know scientists who think that people are insane for doing anything that isn't what they are doing. We need more tenure. I love grant writing, but I'm in a privileged position (albeit not tenured). It's a wonderful chance to explore, formulate, and refine ideas as to what might be possible. The harder part is when you have a grant, double your work. But, again, the people you get to meet, places you get to go, and aha moments that come out of Science, the products of those grants, and your team's hard work- are unbeatable, and they are a truly memorable part of my life.
Agreed; under uncertainly, you should shrink the size of your bet.

For example, I think open borders might be good for the world (maybe outside of pandemics, say), with less than 100% confidence. However, debating completely open borders is sort of pointless. The actual lever we have is how much legal immigration we allow (and possibly how much enforcement we do against illegal immigration). So in practice, the road to open borders would be steady increases in the number of visas we grant (unless things start to go badly), not just tearing down the "fence" all at once.
Yeah, unclear how this is relevant to the US->Europe topic.

Moving from LA to Minneapolis will be depressing, moving from Rome to London will too.

You could go for overkill and establish a one-way data transfer methodology with built in crc/ecc. Receive-only optics on the destination side might be usable.
I get it too. But when things get to that stage, literally anything you do will be taken as proof of the same nefariousness, whether you sink or you float.

I think it makes more sense to focus on the much larger audience that's sincerely making up their mind, and give them good information with which to do it. Could I do that less defensively though? Absolutely. Not there yet.
Right but ironically, the fact that it is a minefield is likely what drove this teacher to make that discovery. Imagine if it was just a random scattering of students living in such apartments (but same number of people). It may have never been discovered in that case.

Yes, this exists:

I use Node-Red for automating many work related tasks with the team I manage. One thing I wish it supported was multiple accounts that have separate flows. Even better would be support to separate where flows run from the UI, on a per users basis. I could host a worker node with our infra at work, allowing me to work with some of the more sensitive data and share it more openly with my peers.

All in all, it’s been a great tool to use.
Idk what you mean by "Linux app" but I use beet[1] and it's superior to any manual tagger software I've used.

You might want to pay a visit and get to know some modern Germans.
It’s complicated. They’re clearly frustrated with the pay and working conditions typical with work these days. But I’ve seen no evidence of people going on the dole or retiring there. By and far the most common commentary there is people advising each other of their legal rights around how bosses treat them.

Like most of Reddit, the style and rhetorical flourishes are over the top. But the substance being posted does not seem to match what a surface analysis would imply.

The dressing can be given on the side. This is also a personal choice.
Are you seeking permanent citizenship there (or did you have it by birth)? If you’re an American citizen, are you able to access the Norwegian social benefits? Did you move there to work for a specific local employer, or did you find a position after moving?
Trade ban and sanctions in the early 2000s when it should have become clear their ambition and dirty tactics would put us on a collision course. Instead, we were blinded by the cheap cost and outsourced everything there. To a country that doesn't respect IP, or even basic human rights, and, on top of that, is now ready and able to export their world vision and order.

Now it's a bit too late to stop them. NATO/West id too preoccupied by Russia when, imo, China is the bigger threat, by far.

That applies in every country

Not the GP, but I think you might find in Switzerland (I lived there) that it's not so easy to make friends. When I'm in America, people will just straight up come up to me and talk, so the culture seems to be a bit more open. In Switzerland, socializing is quite different. For a start, there's a local language that isn't the one they teach you in language classes. It also appears much of the socializing happens around existing institutions, eg your school friends, or the rowing club, all things that as a newcomer you won't have a history with.
Well, Dr Mather surely had no idea who I was when I was researching my article on the JWST, but he was generous with his time and thoughts.

Question about healthcare. You mentioned getting private healthcare. What is the purpose of that if public healthcare is available for free? Do you get to cut in line for appointments?
Yes but anacron is still a bit less powerful than timers, since I can schedule a timer to run every hour instead of once an hour plus on reboot in two very short config lines. And I don't think anacron has a concept of running things every hours not including runtime, only including runtime.

China got powerful by doing business with the rest of the world.

> Why was the printer connected to the public internet? A DMZ subnet would have prevented this vector of attack.

Aren't most network printers connected to office networks with public internet access? I sounds like this printer was making outgoing connections, and I doubt many people/companies go through the trouble of specially blocking those from printers.

You'd have to be especially security conscious and paranoid (especially 20 years ago!), to be operating under the assumption that your own equipment is working against you.
Like I said earlier, you've said enough. You've exposed yourself as somebody who believes anecdotes, not science.

There are no quick magic cures. AZT made a huge difference for a lot of people but it wasn't until later retrovirals (based on tech that didn't exist at that time) were released. It's still used in combination with other therapy.
Wasn't there that film "12 Monkeys"? I think it was filmed just down the road in Baltimore.
> The translation provided by the compiler is the closest thing we have to a formal semantics, it's natural to rely on it.

Which translation, though? Depending on your compiler flags, you may get very different translations, sometimes (if your program contains undefined behavior) even with dramatically different runtime effects.

IMO most people want to work and be productive, but they don't want to be exploited.
> Since 1967, the Navy has been training dolphins and sea lions (and probably other marine life)

I like how they threw in "(and probably other marine life)". Always keep the enemy guessing. Is that really just a sea horse, or is it a highly trained US operative? Is that cuttlefish strobing because it thinks I'm a suitable mate, or is this some DARPA Psy Op? Even the kelp have ears...
Not true, I bought a house in Vienna for less than a quarter of what I would have paid for an apartment in Los Angeles. Okay, its not in Vienna (the state), but its close enough to not make any difference to my commute across town to work.
Living in America is by definition a privileged position. Largest military in the world guarantees either the country survives anything or the world undergoes nuclear Armageddon (and even then the tax man is still coming to your door).
U-6, which covers people who have been temporarily discouraged from working but want to come back is 7.3%.

If anything is keeping people out of the work force, it’s childcare issues, not anti-work.
I'm not sure if this is intentional but in all your comments you just come across as a hateful, angry person.
>Ah, so it is possible in capitalism.

No, you misread. What the judge tried to do (and failed) is not possible in Capitalism. You can't force an employee to not work at a competitor. An employee who signs a non-compete agreement is not being forced to not work for a competitor.

Consent is a thing. As an analogy, you're saying if someone consents to sex, then rape is allowed as well.
Yes, Loch Kelly teaches Mahamudra.

While Dzogchen texts are certainly obscure, the proper realization of Dzogchen does entail a transformation of one's understanding of reality in a way that our culture would certainly find "woo woo." I would guess that Sam's aversion to such possibilities is what prevents his own practice and understanding from getting to that level, but this is just my own conjecture.
AFAIU, expensive (or read: less cost-sensitive) engines designed for operating at close to rated power for extended times, like airplane engines, have used hardened valve seats since the 1920'ies or so.

What if you get that salary precisely because this field is free of the sort of inefficiencies and government regulation that drag on healthcare and doctors.
I have seen some sources mention that lead exposure could be behind a lot of ADHD symptoms. Is there any credibility to this or is it not worth looking into?
Yeah, thanks for putting that in perspective! ExtensionPay is still relatively new, too, so I'm glad there's plenty of headroom :)
Some of us are outsiders who just enjoy the conversation.
Unnecessary to you maybe but not to other people. It's a tiny bit rude to simply call a feature rude just because you don't use it. After all, by that argument I could call the screen reader software or the Speech-to-Text bloat. But they aren't.
I hope you will find this useful and not off-topic; here is a summary:

- Europe is very different, not a country and not even a union (parts of Europe are NOT in European Union)

- Northern Europe has cold climate, more difficult languages, higher taxes and usually better services

- in Southern Europe people are a lot more relaxed (some can confuse that with lazy, but it is not), a lot friendlier but poorer

- in Germany and Austria it is very important to speak the language well in order to integrate. They are also very strict in many ways (lots of rules and regulations).

- most of France is really nice; salaries are a bit low

- Switzerland has top salaries and life standards. It is probably the best place to live if you are highly qualified.

- the Netherlands and Belgium have pretty bad weather. In the Netherlands most people speak a very good English

- Eastern Europe has lower salaries and cost of living, but imported products (an iPhone or a Tesla car) are very expensive. However people are friendly, life is accessible and the nature is great if you are into it: lots of hills and mountains to hike, access is permitted in most places. Criminality is in general extremely low for violent crimes, robbery and corruption are fairly common in some places.

- Poland and Hungary have some right wing governments that are not very popular with the EU politicians, but for the citizens is not really a problem (except abortion restrictions in Poland, but that is a sensitive topic for a very religious country)

- Ukraine is not a good place yet, not enough English speakers, but it may improve in the next 10 years. Belarus is not a good idea, full stop. Moldova is very poor. Albania is nice, but the language is a barrier and the country is quite poor. Montenegro is soo tiny. Other than these 5 countries, Europe is OK to live a decent life, especially if you have family. Even less known countries like Slovenia are still nice if you like that kind of small country with lots of mountains.
There is a fairly good point here that when people argue that politician X is defunding the military or defunding schools, nobody assumes that they mean that they've ended public education or disbarred the military.

We have a general social understanding of the word "defund" that also encapsulates "moving money/responsibilities from one department to another one." So it feels a little bit like a double standard to in this case assume that it necessarily means complete abolition.
I mean the Venn diagram of people who say they want to “end work” and the people whose worldview aligns perfectly with socialism is essentially a circle. That’s not new.
I (Mexican, with Mexican wife) lived in Germany for 4 years while doing research in a Leibniz Institute. At some point my wife and I talked with a German colleague about how difficult it was for us to make acquaintances or friends while living there.

This colleague mentioned that it was the same for her, who was German but from a different part of Germany (like, we were in the East part of Germany and she was from the Northern part). She mentioned that Germans for the most part make their friends groups in the first ~18 years of their lives, and afterwards it is difficult to make friends.

Also reminds me of a time I was in the UK, walking with a German girl, near a train station. We saw a person who looked pretty lost (I think he had luggage and was looking at a wall map... al in all he looked confused). I approached this guy and asked him whether he needed help. He replied with a German accent, and he was indeed lost and was looking for some place. I proceeded to give him instructions on how to get to where he was going.

During all this time, my German friend was a bit further away from us. After I finished helping the guy she found it amusing how I approached the person and talked to him "out of nowhere". She told me that in Germany you don't normally approach people that you don't know like that. I asked her, "then how do you make new friends?" to what she responded that maybe only by introduction form a third party.

Anglo Saxon culture was quite a strong culture shock for me as a Latino.
I expect it's a frequent side-effect of working on large systems with many interdependencies.
Nvidia absolutely could come up with their own ARM-based solutions like Apple did. Guess where all the people who know how to do that work? Arm. If nothing else, Arm offers a great engineering team to accelerate Nvidia's plans and it also means Nvidia can push new ideas into the latest ISAs much easier. A similar thing happened a few years ago with Imagination Technologies who produced Apple's GPU IP. Except instead of Apple buying them, Apple built an office next door and poached the entire engineering team. Leaving ImgTec as a deeply scarred company that eventually got sliced up and sold off.
Anecdotally from talking to a lot of people who are hiring, people who accept the going rates for work are having no problem hiring. People who are shocked at what workers can ask for right now and try to resist the change are having very little success hiring, whether it's software engineers or subcontractors or lab assistants.

With service workers, resistance to paying what it takes has a compounding effect, because being short-staffed forces people to pick up the slack for missing coworkers, and they end up burning out and quitting, or leaving for another job where the wages are better and the stress is lower.
> I'm just outside London

> ... I'd bet that's true pretty much everywhere in Europe.

I think those two statements are very far apart.
As uluyol corrected me, most of these seem to se ARM cores today. Few years back Samsung and Qualcomm had their own architectures. But the fact remains, if they have architecture license, ARM can't control them too much.

Apple designs everything by themselves.
Or maybe reprioritize what work needs to be done? Losing two employees in quick succession for whatever reason doesn't seem like a rare event at a company.
