> Paying for things is a fair exchange.

Only if you have money. No, it's not fair that someone with more money can take over land, it's the market and the way the world is but it's not fair. The only way this would be fair is if everyone started from the exact same spot in regards to resources: money, education, intelligence, etc. which isn't realistic at all.
It makes sense your idea on itself but in the case of Portugal would not have worked. The market bust happened around 2002 and then the government had a debt crises in 2010.

As it's common, the housing market reflects many errors and not just one.
Heat would also show undeclared extensions etc.
I wonder. Do you need "AI" to find rectangular blue-ish areas in photos?
>Phillip’s professor has said that the design would likely work, but his design was not actually built

Ok so it's not really $2k nor is it an atom bomb.
isn't getting the weapons grade Uranium (or Plutonium) what is most difficult about making a bomb anyways? My assumption is, once a terrorist group has achieved that, and has transported / smuggled it to their target, it's game over anyways. Harbor towns must be particularly vulnerable to this, considering the amount of shipping containers going through there...
>Did you know that Youtube has a game streaming service like Twitch?

Although org wise it's under YouTube Gaming livestreams can be about anything. The option to go live is shown when you click the upload button. Live streams show up in your video feed and the top of your subscriptions. In explore and on the sidebar of every page is a link to the live metachannel. On game metachannels there is a tab to see people streaming the game. Livestreams show up in search and you can filter for only livestreams.

I think it's pretty hard to avoid since streams are promoted more compared to videos. You must just not watch creators who stream on YouTube or are interested in topics that lend themselves to being streamed.
Controversial in this forum, but its GC.

In some applications memory allocation is not that important, so it's nice not having to think about it at all.

I've gone deep into Rust recently, but Crystal might still eat Python's lunch, a language I've fallen out of love with.
AirBnB already is limited in Amsterdam:
"According to Dutch regulations, you can only rent out your entire home in Amsterdam for a maximum of 30 nights per year, unless you have a specific permit that allows you to rent out your home for more nights, such as a short term stay license."

Card-only is way more common than you think in some countries, northern Europe in particular in my experience.
Just shame he ends up dedicating his time to data
I used to work for Cognizant - they are very good at using the latest hype words to bag a client, so I fully agree with you. The same story from a different source was posted a couple of days back, and I said the same, simple pattern recognition can do this just fine.
They got the less part right, I'm not sure they could they show any less about their visual project on their visual website if they tried.
Consider the potential unintended consequences of de-inventing the bomb. The cold war would probably have been hot in this case.
>... numpy, scipy, something pandas-like, and of course matplotlib... Where I work, we desperately need a fast python.

It sounds like Julia would be a better fit than Crystal?

Ironically they have similar problems: compile/start-up time (though crystal has working ahead of time compilation - AFAIK Julia developers are still working on speeding up "first run" in various ways).
It looks like there are two sides: people who want to buy a house and want it to cost a sane amount of money, and people who own a house and want it to increase in price. The latter would obviously ridicule this.
It's either that or ctrl+Z for humanity.

Oh, the last article about this said it was Cognizant, not Capgemini - I've had the misfortune to work at both, and either way, you're right.
Lately more and more such videos are shared online and the very first thing that came in my mind is this scene from "The Big Short" [1];

- "I don't understand; why are they confessing?"
- "They are not confessing; they are bragging."

I get the impression we are going to witness this scene in real life sooner than we can possibly imagine and I hope I'll be proven wrong!

Well, fine.

I'm curious though. Is Poland asking for reparations from both of the countries that invaded it together, or from one? And what's it asking on behalf of the areas/population in the easternmost parts of Poland (which were invaded and are not part of Poland now) and the westermost (which weren't invaded but are part of Poland now)?
I'm not sure if I follow. It was a design for an A bomb that would cost $2k, ergo, a $2k A bomb. Obviously have to adjust for time and inflation.
Yes to the former: in my impression, the far right discourse and memes, in the broad sense of the word, tend to be more threatening and violent on average when the posts are directory towards the opposing political group or marginalised communities (e.g. racial or sexual). This happens both towards the group broadly or when targeting particular individuals, such as jail Hillary, hang Pelosi, or shoot the gays, or that women are not worth anyone's time (Andrew Tate example).

You can have a less polarised left- or right-wing discussion, and that results in less moderation for both sides. For example in the UK, you may not have liked Jeremy Corbyn or Boris Johnson, but you'd hardly have anyone calling for them to be jailed or murdered.
You must hate going outside.
I mean that sounds like one solution - especially if you cannot work with Chinese nationals for reasons. But in the spirit of open source and access to other people's code, an alternative solution would be for Github to integrate with a translation service and translate descriptions.
Usually they start on a plane like Cessna 152 that is older hab their parents. Even military pilots start like that, just tend to switch for newer turboprops sooner.

For reference - considerable portion (possibly even majority, especially if you don't count USA due to different licensing) of airline pilots will have their first jet/turboprop experience when they will be training on airliner after getting their "frozen ATPL". In one airline it was common for chief of training to give every new trainee a copy of MSFS 2004 with professional addon for the first plane you'd graduate for, and the better trainees used that to become familiar with plane - cause usually the largest previous plane they flew would be a small twin piston plane like Piper Seneca.
Can we have consumer group or eu etc to specify those?
The title is correct but linked article is incorrect. Here is the link to the correct article

http://egovstandards.gov.in/comments-on-mobile-security-guid...

The title is right according to the proposed rules. Indian government doesn't want their people to run programs they would want to on their own device bought with their own money, without getting it signed by Google/Apple.

Either the government is fooled by the word "sideloading" which truly means "freedom to run any code" but madeup in such a way that it means bypassing security of Android and iOS or the government doesn't like the fact that they cannot ban apps directly downloaded from web.

Indian government's rules are always "one step forward, ten steps backward"!
Macs are explicitly the opposite of a freemium model, though. The business model is such that the software is just a supporting element of the explicitly premium hardware.
To me the problem is more the assumption that a pool automatically increases the value of a property. Or rather that increasing the value of a property should increase your tax burden. Insert sales pitch for Land Value Tax here.
You do your username proud, :D
Probably will get downvoted but I don’t think paying taxes leads to more social justice. There are some exceptions where government actions are closer to the people they represent, but in general I have the impression that most governments are like an ever growing intransparent entity that serves primarily itself.

Edit: typos
It's been a long time since I read it, but I believe "Searching for the sound" by Phil Lesh (of the Grateful Dead) featured Owsley prominently, and (again, faulty memory) corroborates that claim.
I think this skipped out on the downside of using Firecracker: the host underneath needs to be either Baremetal(AWS) or VM with nested virt support(GCP). This creates additional complexity to manage such a setup in production. Moreover, since both nested-virt VM / baremetal both comes at a very high spec by default, the economic would only make sense if you are at a scale that could saturate(or over-saturated like the article hinted at) these resources.

Very interesting blog post nevertheless. Looking forward to read more!
...under which part of the gdpr?
You're right, I didn't mean that legal tender was applicable here, my point was more that cash is "endorsed" legally, as legal tender, whereas credit cards are just some third-party service.
So it is an open that has had international organisation layered on top. That does make more sense, in terms of how it got to where it is.

Another possibililty would be to relax the geographic grouping of the events. Maybe the Meta sponsored Olympics of the future will be willing to do that in the belief that VR/AR have made location less important. It'll be interesting to see how people's sense of physical location and togetherness change with new technology. I hope not, but maybe Meta's idea of 'Connection' will win in the end.
MagSafe is great, but it's been around since 2006

Sadly it's patented so no one else could implement in their laptop.
I see reddit spreading just as much dangerous disinformation and failing to moderate posts encouraging illegal acts. Either they are protected under section 230 or not, and if they are then law enforcement is the appropriate organization to take action against users conducting illegal acts. Google will gladly claim section 230 exemptions if the actions take place on their service, yet the feel entitled to complain about another services content moderation?

I guess it is their right to deny access to the Google Play store, but I feel like legislation was needed yesterday that requires phone providers provide options for an alternative store with the same automatic updates feature. Google allows alternative stores, but doesn't provide a way for users that I'm aware to keep apps up-to-date from unknown sources even if they are using a third-party store that does their own verification. Apple on the other hand goes even further, so it is difficult to be over critical at just Google in this regard.

Hello, new vocabulary entry!
Apple preventing “side-loading” is an essential part of controlling the platform, and it’s making them tons of money. Apple wont let go of that, at least not willingly.
It seems strange to me to have a pool tax in the first place?

If water consumption is a problem tax it progressivly.
It might make airlines a little more punctual if they don’t get paid until later in the process, and if we build in something like automatic discounts for delays.

I know the airline industry is a tough one, but I’ve had some brutal delays in my time and they do play a lot of games. I wouldn’t mind seeing a bigger stick hanging over them for consumer protection.
The definition of AI is definitely broad enough to cover exactly that, though.
New customers are allowed to pay in cash to the driver, which makes it effectively anonymous. Nothing was at stake.
You can still do primary/stand-by replication.

If you actually crunch the numbers, you'll see that the likelihood of multiple node simultaneous failure of a larger cluster is actually often as high, or higher than the likelihood of a single node failure on a non-distributed application.

Despite running redundant distributed set-ups, services today really don't have particularly spectacular availability. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Github; all go down or brown out frequently.
Ah, right. I'm not sure whose fault it was, as eg the gate is the responsibility of the airport (and, if I recall correctly, has airport employees, rather than airline).
The perspective barely changes in the sphere. I'm not convinced that the AI implied 3d, lighting/shadows, and reflections from the dataset which is supposed to be, at most, just 2d projections of 3d environments. Maybe in the future when we feed it 3d (meta) information also, then we can expect some magic, but until then, I don't think so.
What makes you tired of being an employee though? Entrepreneurship is more "honest". You'll get compensated based on your competence and results. If you go around asking, "What's the best business to start," are you really qualified for this line of work? Especially when the primary skill is finding product-market fit.

You still have to justify shit to people - the customers, the investors, the tax people. You're still powerless, subject to the whims of regulations and unstable partners. You can quit one bad job after another, but you're stuck with a company you own, especially if you have relatives who have invested in it and staff who are relying on you to pay rent.
What about it makes you cringe?
I'm sure it's related to the paradox of tolerance
In that case it wouldn’t be, but from what I’ve seen online most of the forums, tips etc about this are for people with two full-time jobs they “work” simultaneously and not for people who legitimately go to their second job after finishing their first job.

Good luck finding an employer who agrees to that.
It's like a $5 meal kit for a "BBQ meat feast" that has the recipe, spices, but doesn't include the meat. So once you've visited the specialist butcher and spent a lot more money, now you have the $5 feast.
Every time this topic is touched I learn something new about the standard of comfort that western Europe enjoys.

I've been told that in Germany the gas-saving measures will make people turn down their temperature during winter to 20-21°C from the, supposedly, standard 24-25°C.

But that can't be right, can it?

When I lived in Italy we had below 20°C during winter because the wooden windows from the 70s not replaced since then due to various, not strictly financial reasons, didn't provide much insulation.

Over here in eastern Europe it was always "18°C and put a sweater on".
"Landslide" in this context meaning nearly 44% of the vote, translating to 56% of the seats, meaning they can overule the "will of the people" usually.

That's exactly my point. How can something like 4chan still exist online? There have been multiple mass-shooters bred there. It also used to be known for extremely questionable adult content. Why do Trumps preferred platforms get taken down but not this?
It's not just Mary Jones. The controversial (to say the least) French medical professor Didier Raoult last year showed he didn't quite grasp the difference between median and mean. There was some mockery on Twitter but no journalist ever called him up on it.
But not everybody lives in Lisbon ???.

Is all the economic activity concentrated in this city or is it a case of Portuguese professionals working in the city being outpriced by investors for AirBnB ???.

How is search so bad? A 'Case Study' (2020)
I agree with the former, but not the latter. It's fine if stores accept credit cards, as long as they accept cash too. Hell, I wouldn't be against adding the cc fee on top of the price, so cash users don't need to subsidize cc users.
What do MAC addresses have to do with rng? Are you thinking of the old style UUIDs that used the machines's MAC address and system time? What a terrible idea that was.

When you power up a mobile/cell phone, the handset transmits a handshake to all mobile/cell bases it can hit.

Handshaking between mobile/cell phone and mobile/cell bases continues somewhere between every 10 to 20 minutes.

Data exchanged include; IMEI [1], IMSI [2], and both handset transmit power level, receiver power level to each mobile/cell bases databases.

Coupling both the mobile/cell bases databases and the locations topographical data allows RDF [3].

So even if you have location data turned off, you can still be tracked.

I feel(*) it's not about the critical mass, but the critical density - that's why you need strong compression (either chemical explosives, or xrays from a smaller nuclear bomb) to trigger the explosion (exponential runoff chain reaction).

So this guy figured out how to create the critical density for 2k USD worth of components, which is actually the "hard" part of building a bomb.

It's plain simple. Because the culture, particularly the university educated individuals in the culture, have been impregnated with left-wing ideology.

People making the decisions about banning right-wing communities are left-wing individuals.

It may be "close[r] to the data", but be ware Python UDFs usually still have context switches between the python interpreter and the query executor. If these pile up — as is the case if you fire off queries in, say, a loop — you will still see lousy performance. There is currently research under way, to optimize UDFs and other forms of computations over database resident data. For Python, for example, you can checkout the python to SQL compiler [0] and associated demo-paper [1] we produced for this years Sigmod. (Disclaimer: as you may have noticed thanks to that " we", I'm an author on that paper.) Though it may only support a limited subset of Python, one can already do alot with just that.

He spent years hopping from job to job in different organisations. Some of them were NHS orgs, but others were charities. When his deception was discovered he left the job.

From your link: "the prosecution did not accept his claim that he had performed excellently during his time at various NHS bodies, saying he was rated as “unsatisfactory” in some of his job"

I'm generally a YIMBY and in favor of housing, but are we really so sure that new housing will solve the problems in cities like Barcelona or Lisbon (where tourists and people coming in attracted by the good quality of life generally have higher disposable incomes than most locals).

If you just add housing, isn't it possible that the effect is like adding roads to prevent traffic congestion? The number of people coming in just increases even more until the marginal attractiveness is the same. From the point of view of locals this means that there are even more outsiders, and the affordability is just as bad.
Thank you very much, bookmarked for any future drip making needs to avoid buyib bad crap.
I did my math again, and a latency (buffer size in milliseconds) of 0.72ms (0.072 s) with a buffer size of 64 samples means your sampling rate would have to be about 400 KHz (stereo). Are you sure it's not 7.2 milliseconds (to bring it to the usual range of 40 KHz sampling rate)?
