Most of German job offers I’ve seen require proficiency in the German language. That’s unlike offers from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, or Israel, where you’re only required to speak English. Nothing else is ever even suggested in those offers. My sister works in Germany and says that while Germans are pretty easy to talk to in English on the street, in a shop etc., they’re reluctant to do so in a work context and she gets irritated looks when she only speaks at B1 level. Germany is pretty uniquely hostile to foreigners in that regard. I suspect that the requirement you’re speaking of is set up mainly to filter out those who don’t speak German very well.

I wonder why I'm being down-voted for this. Obviously I'm not advocating murder unless you really believe in time travel; it's a thought experiment about how the present would be different if this individual had not gotten to the position he did in the corporate world, similar to the questions about the effects of murdering Hitler before he joined the Nazis.

My thought is that taking out baby Jack Welch probably wouldn't have that much effect, and someone very similar would have come along not much later. I think a big part of the reason many big American companies were able to function the way they did (basically not worrying so much about profits) was because America got rich by being the one untouched industrial power at the end of WWII, and this gave them the luxury of building these companies into powerhouses that didn't have much competition to worry about and that could be idealistic and also wasteful. But this advantage eroded after several decades so it eventually became more important to maximize profitability and this required (or facilitated) someone like Welch.
Seeing as the post office is publicly owned it feels like it shouldn't be trying to scam people for money. Nobody is seeing some massive profits from it anyway and their salaries will be decided by the government.

Jim's observation seems to be generally similar on other HPC clusters in other countries.

A lot of scientific software, as I can confirm especially in numerical fluid dynamics, is written in FORTRAN or at least uses some libraries written in FORTRAN.

The basis of numerical computing in form of the BLAS/LAPACK libraries is written in FORTRAN and has had a huge impact on everything in this part of computing.

If I am not mistaken even the python libraries depend on BLAS/LAPACK, although they might be using implementations written in C or the like.

Nevertheless, FORTRAN is still the work horse in a lot of computational scientific disciplines and should not be disregarded as being dead.
It should be possible to calculate them likelihood of distributions with a given degree of apparent structure. Not a given structure, but the degree of variance from a typical random distribution.

> Israel is also a particular focus in the West (and especially in America) because it's done with US support (in the UN) and US weapons.

You are nitpicking historical events. It's critical not to view events in isolation, they are deeply linked to the past, rather than being a series of unrelated incidents.

In 1948, following the UN Partition Plan of Palestine approved the creation of two states (this decision was made by the same United Nations to which you referred) Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq attacked Israel (yes, Israel because it was approved as a new country by the UN in the same way it happened to other nations).

US did a weapon embargo [1] that no benefited Israel (and the five other attackers). In this conflict, Israel was in a defensive position and Israel won that war without US support. The history is fluid.

Also, at that time Iran mas a monarchy and in 1979 after the Iranian revolution converted into a theocracy. Iran uses proxies for igniting more fire into the region. Not an opinion.

We can talk in the future again once Iran, probably, converts into a nuclear power.

Yes, this is really an important point. In some online forums, the factor that explains variation among users votes may be precisely the thing we don't want to factor out. It may, for example, be expertise!

I don't know whether it does or doesn't, but I just don't see any evidence that demonstrates that we do. E.g. how do you know from your experience whether the verbalization drove the conceptualization or whether it's effectively purely narration of non-verbal conceptualization? It's not even a given that they happen at the same time vs. being a post-rationalization of processes happening separately (e.g. we know from split-brain experiments that the brain halves are perfectly happy to verbalize explanations for decisions they demonstrably didn't make)

It's incredibly hard to tell. For us the goal of eliminating Cookies was important given the stance we have on privacy so everything went from there. The folks working in marketing for sure were not happy with the directive as it makes their job much harder.

That makes a lot of sense thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like the post office may have set Fujitsu up to fail. This makes a lot of sense since I doubt Fujitsu does not have the expertise on board to make something functional.
Frontpage was anything but discoverable. Ditto with the MS Office suite.
I found Unix' (and by extension, GNU) philosophy much better to discover how did computers work. The Linux Gazzete taught you about HTML code, editors, system administration, networking without tons of hideous GUI's and Microsoft corpojargon to hide anything behind a lexicon wall having nothing to do with actual IT.
I don't think using the term "file" for any kernel-managed resource is common outside of Unix terminology. It is certainly not the terminology of Windows. It is not even really true on modern Linux either, nor was it ever fully true in Unix land - Plan9 is probably the only OS that really went for "everything is a file" to the utmost degree.

For example, in either Unix or Linux, a socket is not really a file, even though an open socket has an associated fd. But you can't open a new connection by using open()/read()/write() on any Unix or Linux system (you can in Plan9). So these are not really files. Similarly, most devices expose special ioctl() codes to perform operations on them and barely interact with read() or write().
What you call "the ad" follows naturally from several paragraphs explaining the circumstances motivating the creation of their own store; unity banning them. Whining about this is totally bizarre.
Probably most of the first run sold through Kickstarter and despite critical acclaim they didn't get a publishing deal or didn't want a publishing deal.

It's only natural that profit from the first run might not be enough to pay for the costs of second run. And if you don't want investors poking their noses into your business and seeking free rent of of you, you might choose to pre-sell the next batch. And one of the ways you can do that is Kickstarter.
Hey, so I'm curious why having memory barriers span across threads is the wrong mental model.

Assuming that the memory barrier is syncing across a single variable (in this case ready), why would it be correct to think of it as two separate barriers? If it were correct to think of it as two separate barriers on two separate threads, wouldn't there need to be some form of synchronization or linkage between the two barriers themselves so that memory barriers can be coupled together?

For instance, if I had release-acquire models on two variables, ready and not_ready, using separate barriers as representation might look something like this

```

Thread 1 Memory Thread 2
--------- ------- ---------
| | |
| write(data, 100) | |
| -----------------------> | |
| | |
| ====Memory Barrier====== | |
| store(ready, true) | |
| -----------------------> | |
| ====Memory Barrier====== | |
| | |
| ====Memory Barrier====== | |
| store(not_ready, true) | |
| -----------------------> | |
| ====Memory Barrier====== | |
| | |
| | ===Memory Barrier======= |
| | load(ready) == true |
| | <---------------------- |
| | ====Memory Barrier===== |
| | |
| |.===Memory Barrier======= |
| | load(not_ready) == true|
| | <---------------------- |
| | ====Memory Barrier===== |
| | |
| | read(data) |
| | <---------------------- |
| | |

```

Now, how does the processor know which memory barriers are linked together? I ask because without understanding which barriers are linked together, how is instruction re-ordering determined?

I'm not sure how to feel about this. Nasty tracking is certainly possible without tracking cookies, and tracking cookies are actually quite easy to block & deal with. Other technologies which track you are not necessarily all that easy to prevent. It wouldn't necessarily be better if most companies moved away from tracking cookies.

He doesn't say either of those things. Considering the context of a pro-libertarian text, what it means is that the capitalism part of "capitalist democracy" is losing significance as the US is moving more towards a EU-style social democracy.

I've never understood the problem with (L)GPL code on iOS devices. Sure, users don't have the possibility to replace the code on that platform. But the restriction is not imposed by the people distributing the code, but by external circumstances (Apple).

I can distribute LGPL licensed code to people no problem even if they are then, additionally, forbidden to actually excercise their freedoms by laws, think for example about radio code. I might have to get a special permission to run the code if I make changes and compile it, but that's no concern of the person licensing their source code to me.

Same if, say, the code runs on a box in an inaccessible space, and in order to install their own binaries somebody would have to press a button that they can't reach. That's not a GPL violation.

If I have the OK from Tim Cook and all the secret signing keys, I can compile and run anything I want on my iOS device. And even without that, if somebody provides all the object files of non-LGPL code and build instructions, I can replace the LGPL code and run my own version outside of the app store. Often when people ban (L)GPL code, its just a pretext, because they don't want to deal with the complexities or for other reasons.

Edit: I've been thinking about LGPL 2.1. I think LGPL 3 does explicitly forbid the above mentioned situations?

"Currently, the predominant business model for commercial search engines is advertising. The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users. For example, in our prototype search engine one of the top results for cellular phone is "The Effect of Cellular Phone Use Upon Driver Attention", a study which explains in great detail the distractions and risk associated with conversing on a cell phone while driving. This search result came up first because of its high importance as judged by the PageRank algorithm, an approximation of citation importance on the web [Page, 98].*

It is clear that a search engine which was taking money for showing cellular phone ads would have difficulty justifying the page that our system returned to its paying advertisers. For this type of reason and historical experience with other media [Bagdikian 83], we expect that advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers."
